As a Hong Kong Islander who came to the mainland alone to look for the legendary chef training academy, Stephen Chow was not as relaxed as he appeared.
After all, he had no relatives in the mainland, and he couldn't even tell the difference between east, west, and north after running away. Who could know the hesitation in his heart.
Fortunately, everything ended. Thanks to the killer sent by the gang to hunt him down, he lost his footing and rolled down the cliff, thus discovering the real chef training academy.
What's even better is that there is a monk in the Shaolin Temple who is willing to protect him. Stephen Zhou, who grew up on the street, knows all too well the difference between someone who wants to protect him and no one who wants to go out to hang out.
Following Brother Monk, Stephen's waist and legs no longer hurt, and he can walk more energetically than before.
Look here, look there, the Shaolin Temple is really big, and the land alone is worth a lot of money.
Look at the surrounding Buddhist temples. Whether it is the Arhat Hall or the Bodhisattva Hall, every one of them is painted with brilliant gold paint.
Stephen Zhou walked over and touched it. Good guys, they are all made of real gold. The three-meter-high Arhat statue, how much gold can be obtained by painting it with gold paint? Thirty or fifty kilograms may not be able to stop it.
The statues of Arhats all use thirty or fifty kilograms of gold, which are smelted into gold paint before they can be painted. The larger Buddha statue in the Main Hall is even more elaborate.
After wandering around the Shaolin Temple, Stephen Zhou did not understand the Dharma, but he had a clear understanding of the pomp of the Shaolin Temple. Being a monk is indeed a huge profit.
Wooden Lane
Wooden Man Lane is a small road in the backyard of Shaolin. This road is about fifty meters long. It passes through the entrance of the Tongren Hall where the Eighteen Bronze Figures are located, and extends all the way to the mountain gate going down the mountain.
Stephen Zhou followed Wang Xu as he walked in the Wooden Man Lane. Before he reached the Bronze Man Hall, he heard a crackling sound coming from the main hall.
When I walked in, I saw eighteen bronze men sitting together, looking at the DVD with interest. What was playing on it was Cheng Long's Police Story.
"Actually, I almost became a star back then!" Stephen Zhou whispered to Wang Xu while watching Cheng Long in the movie.
Wang Xu glanced at him unexpectedly. Stephen Chow was played by Chow Xingxing, who was one of the most famous movie actors in Hong Kong Island.
Realizing that Wang Xu was looking at him, Zhou Xingxing lowered his voice and covered his mouth with his hand, "Back then, the crew was recruiting people, and it was 50 Hong Kong dollars a day to be a part-timer. After working as a part-timer for three days, I found that selling lunch boxes was more profitable than playing a part-time job, so I
I went to sell lunch boxes. As a result, I became a god of food after selling. Now that I think about it, if I had persevered, I might have done as well as this guy."
After watching Cheng Long in the movie and then looking at Stephen Chow, Wang Xu was in a strange mood.
Stephen Zhou thought Wang Xu didn't believe it, so he pointed at his face and added: "I'm not lying to you, I'm very talented in acting. I can cry when I can. If you don't believe me, I'll make a dead mother expression."
look."
"Go to hell, why are you making such a fuss!" After hearing Stephen Zhou's words, bronze man No. 3 grabbed the monk's shoes and threw them over.
Stephen Zhou was so frightened that he did not dare to show off his acting skills anymore and hid behind Wang Xu.
Wang Xu looked at Stephen Zhou, shook his head with a smile, and crowded together with the Eighteen Bronze Man.
Sensing Wang Xu's arrival, the five bronze men handed over cigarettes and lighters without raising their heads.
Wang Xu took the cigarette without saying a word, lit one for himself, and then gave one to each of the Eighteen Bronze Men. There was one left at the end, but he waved it off and handed it to Stephen Zhou.
Stephen Zhou was holding a cigarette, with a somewhat stunned expression on his face.
Before he could ask the question, everyone started to puff away. Among them, the bronze man No. 10 even said: "This man named Cheng Long is really hard at making movies. Some of his moves are dangerous to me. No.
I dare to go up to him if I think of him."
"A Hong Kong actor will never survive if he doesn't work hard, otherwise he wouldn't be able to get his turn." Wang Xu puffed out a smoke ring and replied nonchalantly.
Bronze Man No. 10 nodded first, then pushed Bronze Man No. 11 and said, "Little Eleven, go and set up the table. After watching the movie later, we will play two Pai Gow games with my nephew."
When Bronze Man No. 11 heard this, he pushed Bronze Man No. 12 and said, "Little Twelve, go and set up the table. After watching the movie later, we will play two Pai Gow games with my nephew."
Bronze Man No. 12 turned around and pushed Bronze Man No. 13 again.
One after another, just like a relay race, starting from the bronze man No. 10 and continuing to the bronze man No. 18, the card playing table was not set up.
When they arrived at Bronze Man No. 18, Xiao Shiba looked to his left. He was the smallest one, and there was no one on his left.
"Why do I go there every time?" Bronze Man No. 18 was unhappy. Every time he arranged things like this, he ended up doing it. Isn't this bullying?
Regarding the complaint of Bronze Man No. 18, the other Bronze Man didn't seem to hear it, and the old god was watching TV.
Bronze Man No. 18 stood up reluctantly, and suddenly found that Wang Xu had brought a small follower. He instantly became arrogant and ordered: "What is your name Shi? Forget it, never mind.
You go to the back room and move the table out. The uncles are going to play cards, so you have to be smart!"
Stephen Zhou stuck out his tongue and moved the table reluctantly.
After a while, the table was moved out, and four square tables were gathered together and placed in front of the TV.
At this time, the movie is coming to an end. The policeman played by Cheng Long has won a great victory and is killing all the gangsters.
Bronze Man No. 1 clapped his hands and stood up, pulled out a box of Pai Gow from under the DVD, and said: "Those who are rich come to the table, and those who have no money don't play. We are all brothers, so don't make it unpleasant."
"Xiao Shiqi, I only have thirty. How much do you have? Lend it to me first, and I'll return it to you if you win."
"No, I'll borrow you and you'll lose every time. I've never seen you win before. This time I'll play in person."
"Lao Liu, I have eighty here, how many do you have?"
"I have sixty-three. How about we work together and win or lose?"
"Bago, last time you lent me two hundred yuan, is it time to give it to me this time?"
"Lao Jiu, why are you so ignorant? Is there any difference in the money Bage owes you? Don't worry, it's not that I won't give it to you. Bage is not rich now. You have to wait for two days."
As soon as they heard that the card game was about to be played, the Eighteen Bronze Men and Eight Immortals were crossing the sea, and they started to form gangs one by one.
If you don't have a lot of money, you can play in partnership with others and get together in twos and threes to make a few hundred yuan.
At the last count, there were six people at the table, and the remaining twelve were dog-headed strategists, standing behind to help read the cards.
Of course Wang Xu refused and chose to play. Then he glanced at Stephen Zhou and asked, "What, you don't have money to play?"
"Don't mention it, I met a killer on the way. I lost my footing and rolled down the cliff. I didn't bring any luggage or anything!" Stephen Zhou said to Wang Xu sheepishly with a slightly bitter look on his face.
Wang Xu dug into his pocket, used the space ring to take out two thousand yuan, and said, "This time it's mine. We all share the blessings and share the hardships. Isn't that interesting?"
"You have nothing to say about your righteousness!" Stephen Zhou took a thousand yuan and sat down with a poop.
ten minutes later
"No way, I lost three times in a row?"
twenty minutes later
"What happened, you kneeled down for six consecutive times?"
thirty minutes later
"Losing again, it makes no sense at all. How come I am the loser?"
After losing ten games in a row, Stephen Zhou was confused. He blocked the card table with his hands and said loudly: "Stop, I want to check the cards!"
"Check the cards, can't you trust us?" Bronze Man No. 1 threw away the cards, slapped the table and stood up.
Stephen Zhou was already anxious to lose, so he didn't care who was who, and shouted: "There is no reason why I will lose ten games in a row. There must be something wrong with your Pai Gow!"
"Boy, you are acting wild. Do you know who we are?"
Bronze Man No. 1 took off his shirt and asked the seventeen brothers: "Tell him who we are."
"Ha, the Eighteen Bronze Men of Shaolin Temple!"
The eighteen bronze figures are either sitting or lying down, some are standing on their own, some are sleeping on the ground, and some are nodding their heads to the ground, standing upside down with their hands clasped together.
After being yelled at like this, Stephen Zhou's brain regained some clarity and asked weakly: "What are they going to do?"
Wang Xu held a cigarette in his mouth, looked at the Pai Gow in his hand, puffed out the smoke and said: "You said they cheated, but they don't beat you, why don't they treat you to a meal? Do you even need to ask?"
