    Xiao Yao led Jinlun Dharma King and others to Shaoshi Mountain, and it only lasted only half a day. There was no chance to have any formal contact with the Shaolin Temple.  However, due to the seriousness of the matter, Xiao Yao had already decided to take action personally. Therefore, with his comprehensive arrangements, Shaolin Temple had actually obtained some information through various channels. Otherwise, this group of Mongolian troops and horses suddenly appeared in Shaolin Temple.  At the foot of Shishan Mountain, the entire Shaolin Temple may have been on alert and ready.  However, although it is so calm on the surface, Xiao Yao can also imagine that in the face of such a matter that is directly related to life and death, there may be undercurrents surging under the calm surface of the Shaolin Temple at this time, and because of this, he  I just wanted to sneak into the Shaolin Temple secretly and find out some ways.  Carrying a load of firewood, Xiao Yao pretended to be heavy-footed and walked slowly on the stone steps of the mountain road. In the middle of summer, although he could easily use his nine-yin internal energy to resist the heat and keep himself fresh at all times, he thought of an ordinary farmer.  He was carrying such a heavy bundle of firewood again. Although Shaoshi Mountain was covered with green pines and cypresses, it would have been a little abnormal if he didn't sweat a drop. Therefore, he deliberately did it.  Within a short time, he was sweating profusely due to his own internal energy, and his face was red. At first glance, he looked like a poor farmer who had been working hard under the sun for most of the day.  Thinking that there was nothing wrong with this outfit, Xiao Yao lowered his head and walked straight towards the Shaolin Temple.  From a distance, he suddenly saw a pavilion halfway up the mountain road. There were two monks in the pavilion looking down the mountain. Their eyes seemed to be facing the place where Jinlun Dharma King was camping.  Seeing this scene, Xiao Yao had an idea and thought to himself: "Maybe these two people were sent by the Shaolin Temple to monitor the eyes of Jinlun Dharma King and others. Maybe I can let these two people take me into the temple." At this point,  He deliberately walked very slowly, pretending to be out of breath and exhausted. As soon as he reached the mountain pavilion, he immediately put down his load of firewood to rest.  When the two monks in the mountain pavilion saw this, they didn't take it seriously. One of them kindly handed over the water bag he carried with him and said: "Fellow, the weather is very hot and it's hard for you to exert your strength. Come and have a drink of water."  "Xiao Yao was really moved when he heard the monk's sincere tone. He also expressed gratitude on his face and said thank you repeatedly: "Thank you, Master, for your kindness." He took the water bag and said, "Thank you."  Then he started drinking.  After drinking this breath, he really brought out the simple and down-to-earth characteristics of the country people. When the water bag was returned to the monk, there was not a drop left in it.  Looking at his empty water bag, the monk looked at Xiao Yao, had no choice but to smile bitterly, and put it back into his monk's robes, and couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart.  The two of them were ordered to monitor the Mongolian team at the foot of the mountain. If there is any disturbance, they must report to the abbot immediately. Since Xiao Yao led the team here, they have been going back and forth all morning, and they have already reported several times.  .  Fortunately, the weather was not that hot in the morning, but it was mid-afternoon, the hottest time of the day. Even though there was shade from the trees while standing in the pavilion, I couldn¡¯t bear the dryness of my mouth, so I lost this bag.  Water, over time, the monk may suffer from thirst.  Another monk looked at the large bundle of dry firewood Xiao Yao was carrying and kindly reminded him: "Fellow, did you pick up this firewood and sell it in the temple? The abbot has issued a decree these days, not allowing outsiders to enter."  Temple, you'd better not go." Xiao Yao pretended to be surprised. He looked a little angry at first, deliberately raised his voice and shouted like a native, "Why? I was fine when I came two days ago.  It¡¯s a hot day, isn¡¯t this a torment?¡± But then, he changed his expression to a sad one and said, ¡°Oh, my son is suffering from the heat, and now I just want to sell some firewood to get some money for his treatment.  I'm sick, but now I'm" As he spoke, he frowned deeply, stopped talking, and took up the load of firewood again, apparently planning to go down the mountain.  When the monk whose water bag was empty heard this, he couldn't help but feel compassion and said: "Fellow, you don't know something. The Mongols are coming to our Shaolin Temple in the past few days. The abbot was afraid that they would harm innocent people, so he gave the order not to let them.  Anyone who comes into the temple is not just to cause trouble, but it is really for your sake. But since you are so pitiful, we will make it easier for you. Junior brother, you can take him to the Xiangji Kitchen through the back door. If the temple supervisor knows about it, he will tell you that he is here.  The villagers who are used to selling firewood are no problem. "The monk also said: "Yes, the temple does not allow outsiders to enter the temple. This is to prevent these honest and honest villagers from ruining their livelihood."  At this point, he seemed to have made a mistake, so he hurriedly kept silent and led Xiao Yao to the back door into the temple. He carried the dry firewood to the kitchen. The monk who was in charge of the incense kitchen counted the money for the firewood and found that it was five coins in total.  After the transaction was completed, Xiao Yao was about to find some excuse to separate from the monk, and then quietly inquired about it in the temple. The monk in charge of Xiangji Kitchen looked at him for a few times, but suddenly said: "These days, Lieutenant General of the temple,  When a distinguished guest comes, I don¡¯t know how many more guests will be present. If there are more guests, I will carry waterChai, there is nothing a person can do now to keep him busy.  I think this little brother is quite strong, so why don't you come and help me temporarily and give you ten cents a day until the distinguished guest leaves?  " Xiao Yao thought about it and felt something was wrong: "The reason why I didn't come with Jinlun Dharma King was because I was afraid that someone would recognize me. If I stayed directly in the temple, my secret would be exposed.  "Thinking about this, I wanted to refuse, but then I thought about it and said, "Wouldn't it be great if I just stayed in the kitchen and didn't go anywhere except when I was taking action?  Although this move is still relatively risky, it can be regarded as another kind of safety. After all, in this way, there is no risk of being caught accidentally. As for if I am hit by someone, I am just a farmer now, so that¡¯s fine.  Much more explanation.  "Thinking of this, he deliberately showed hesitation and hesitantly neither said yes nor said no. The monk in charge of Xiangji Kitchen has been worried for many days since he learned that Jinlun Dharma King and his party were about to arrive. He was not  He felt how cruel the Mongols were, so he must have had different intentions when he came this time, because the abbot had to decide on these matters. He only thought about how to provide good reception, but he had always heard that the Mongolians had nothing to do with eating.  I don¡¯t like meat, but the first of the five precepts that monks must abide by is the precept of killing and fasting from meat and fish. This may be a trivial matter elsewhere, but it is a big problem in Shaolin Temple. In comparison, the lack of manpower does not seem obvious.  So urgent. These two problems made him very embarrassed. When he saw Xiao Yao at this time, he suddenly came up with an idea, that is, let people outside the temple be responsible for the Mongolian diet. In that case, he would  These monks not only save trouble, but also can entertain them very well without breaking the precepts. It was thinking about this that he wanted to keep Xiao Yao wholeheartedly. At this time, he saw that Xiao Yao was hesitant, so he  He kept persuading. Finally, seeing that the time was right, Xiao Yao reluctantly agreed: "Master, it's settled, but ten cents a day is too little, at least fifteen cents is enough.  There is also a child at home who is suffering from heatstroke and is waiting for money" The monk in charge of the Xiangji Kitchen chuckled and said, "Then let's make it a deal. Since there are sick people in your family, monks should be compassionate.  I'll give you an increase of twenty cents, as long as you deal with it for the past two days.  " After Xiao Yao heard this, he thanked him repeatedly and looked extremely satisfied.
