The monk stood at the door of the Lin Temple for a long time, and in the darkness, he couldn't see his appearance clearly, and he didn't know what his expression was. However, it can be seen that his gaze has always been fixed on the signboard of the Lin Temple, and he has not taken his eyes off it for a long time.

After almost an hour, the monk withdrew his gaze, bypassed the signboard, and walked into the Lin Temple.

Inside the Lin Temple, there are still traces of the blood-clothed monks who killed people and set fires everywhere. Most of the originally prosperous Zen monasteries have disappeared from the fire. The remaining meditation rooms were also burned black, and they were no longer what they used to be.

Half of the main hall of the temple was destroyed, and only half of it remained, and it creaked in the mountain wind, as if it would collapse again at any moment. This is also the main reason why no one comes to Lin Temple again, because no one knows when the old house of Lin Temple will suddenly collapse, and if it is buried in it, it will not be dead?

The monk didn't seem to see the crumbling appearance of the main hall, and he walked straight into the main hall. Although the hall was shaky by the mountain wind, he didn't care at all, as if he had completely put life and death out of the way.

In the main hall, only half of the Buddha statue remained, and the other half had been shattered. Half of the Buddha statue is still sitting in its original position, but it no longer has the style it once had. The Buddha statue that was once worshiped by the world, after being broken, is just a pile of dirt, how can it still be as glorious as it once was.

Apart from the remaining half of the Buddha statues, there was nothing else in the main hall. Originally, one of the qiē in this hall was either destroyed by fire or was taken away, leaving only this half-section Buddha statue, which had no use, and was left in the main hall, witnessing the decline of Lin Temple for so many years.

The monk walked around the hall, looked at every corner of the hall, and didn't know what mood he was thinking. In the end, he just sighed softly, turned around and walked out of the main hall, and went to the backyard of the Lin Temple.

The situation in the backyard of the forest temple is even worse than in the front yard. On the night when the blood-clothed monk went berserk, most of the monks slept in the meditation room in the backyard. Therefore, most of the people were intercepted and killed by the blood-clothed monk in the backyard, and the walls of the backyard are still full of bloodstains. This bloody appearance, put together with this ancient Zen temple, makes people unconsciously feel creepy.

The monk looked at the blood stains on the backyard wall, and fell silent again, not knowing what he was thinking, but he stood still anyway. It wasn't until there was a coughing sound next to him that the monk suddenly turned his head to look over.

In the dark meditation room, there was a person coughing. Moreover, listening to the appearance of this cough, the person inside seemed to be very old and had a coughing disease, so he coughed more than once.

It's just that on such a night, who else will be in this forest temple?

The monk did not hesitate, his toes were on the ground, and the whole person rushed into the meditation room like a ghost. The room was dark, and ordinary people couldn't see the situation inside clearly. However, it was clear that the monk's eyesight was very good, and when he entered the room, he looked directly at an old man on the bed in the room.

However, the old man did not notice him, and he was still coughing, and looking at him like that, his cough was not light.

The monk stared at the old man for a while, and saw that he really didn't look like he had martial arts, so he relaxed his vigilance slightly.

"Who are you?" the monk asked in a deep voice.

Hearing the voice, the old man didn't seem to react yet. He turned his head to look around, but the room was so dark that he didn't even see the monk standing by the bed. He shook his head in confusion and lay down to go back to sleep.

"Who the hell are you?" the monk asked again.

"Who......" The old man finally made sure that this was not a hallucination, he sat up in a hurry, looked around in surprise, and said, "Who's talking?

Seeing the old man like this, the monk sighed softly, it seems that the old man really doesn't know martial arts. He picked up the match on the table next to him and lit the kerosene lamp on the table, and the room finally had a light, and the monk's face was clearly illuminated.

This monk is none other than the wolf monk who was rescued by Ye Qing last time in Wanyan Manor. He came out with Saihua Tuo Baili Xi, but after the two left Amaterasu City, they separated directly. Saihua Tuo Baili Xi went to busy with his business, and the wolf monk wanted to go back to Lin Temple.

However, the wolf monk had been trapped for too long, and he wouldn't have taken those means of transportation at all. Therefore, back to Lin Temple, he walked all the way from Amaterasu City to the side of the Big Buddha Mountain. After walking for so many days, his speed can be regarded as very fast.

Seeing the wolf monk, a trace of doubt flashed on the old man's face, and he said in surprise: "You...... Who are you?"

"I asked you this. The wolf monk said in a deep voice: "There is no one in the Lin Temple for a long time, who are you, how can you sleep here?"

"There is no one in the Lam Temple!" the old man said dissatisfiedly, "I have always been here." ”

"You?" the wolf monk glanced at the old man up and down, and said in a deep voice, "Who are you?

The old man said: "I am a person from Lin Temple, and I have always lived here from beginning to end, why can't I be here?"

"Are you from the Lin Temple?" A gleam flashed in the wolf monk's eyes, and he said, "Impossible, I don't even know you." ”

"You...... Are you also from the Lin Temple?" The old man stared at the wolf monk for a while, and suddenly exclaimed, "No, I'm ...... I've seen you, you're ...... You are the people of Lin Temple, you are ...... You're the wolf monk, yes, yes, you're the wolf monk!"

The wolf monk's face changed slightly, and he said, "You know me!?"

The old man's face became even more serious, and after he recognized the wolf monk, he seemed to see something terrifying, and hurriedly retreated, as if he was very afraid of the wolf monk.

"Who the hell are you, and why do you know me?" the wolf monk grabbed the old man's arm, so that he could not retreat at all.

"Don't you know me?" the old man said, "I'm not a monk from Lin Temple, but I'm from Lin Temple." I've always been in the kitchen of the Rinji Temple, the worker in charge of cooking in the back kitchen of the Rinji Temple. I...... I met you once, and you are the junior disciple of Master Shakya......"

"Are you a cook?" the wolf monk couldn't help but be stunned, looked the old man up and down, and said, "Why don't I look like it?"

The old man said: "Of course it's not like it, it's been more than 30 years." When you last saw me, I was only in my forties, and now I am seventy or eighty years old, can I be like that? Besides, I don't know martial arts like you, I get older and faster every year, and I become, don't like you, I can't even recognize myself. ”

"That's just as well. "The wolf monk nodded, he left the Lin Temple in his early years, and it has indeed been many years apart. Back then, the cook was still young, but now, he is already seventy or eighty, and he has long lost the appearance of the past, and it is normal that he can't recognize him.

"Why do you live here? Isn't there no one in the Lin Temple? You live here alone?" the wolf monk looked around, this room should be the best room on the whole mountain. However, the walls of the room were still burned black, and the whole room looked like a black prison, which was very uncomfortable.

"I don't live here, where else can I live?" the old man said helplessly: "I came to Lin Temple to work as a cook back then, just because I was really desperate. I don't have any other specialties, I can't do other work when I go out, and if I leave Lin Temple, I'm going to starve to death. It's better to stay in Lin Temple, after all, there is some land in the back mountain that can be planted, and there is no problem with eating and drinking. Although I am alone on the mountain, it is better than starving to death when I go down the mountain. ”

The wolf monk couldn't help but sigh for a while, this old man is really easy to be satisfied, he has lived on this mountain alone for so long. In the entire Lin Temple, he is the only one left, and he can still live, which is really admirable.

When the wolf monk sighed, the old man quietly moved back, as if he wanted to escape from this room. However, his actions can't escape the wolf monk at all.

When the old man was about to walk out of the room, the wolf monk walked directly in front of him and said, "Where are you going?"

The old man was frightened, and quickly shook his head and waved his hand: "I...... I'm not going anywhere, I'm not going anywhere......"

The wolf monk frowned slightly, and said, "You seem to be afraid of me?

"I ...... I'm not very afraid of you, don't get me wrong......" When the old man spoke, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and the panic on his face had proved that he was all false.

"You're lying to me!" the wolf monk said in a deep voice, "I'll ask again, why are you afraid of me?"

The old man opened his mouth, but he didn't dare to deny it anymore. He sighed and said, "Master, I'm ...... I'm just a cook, not a monk. Besides, I'm so old, you...... Just let me go...... I don't have a few years to live......"

"I wasn't going to kill you. The wolf monk said in a deep voice: "What, in your eyes, am I the kind of person who likes to kill innocents indiscriminately?"

"This ...... It's not ......" The old man hurriedly waved his hand, under the gaze of the wolf monk, his face was full of embarrassment and helplessness, and finally gritted his teeth and whispered: "Master, let's tell you the truth." I...... I'm afraid of you, because you're ...... You have a lot of similarities with the blood-clothed monk back then. ”

The wolf monk frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Where is the resemblance between me and him?"

"When the blood-clothed monk was in the Lin Temple, he did not follow the Buddhist law and did not keep the precepts. Killing and committing iniquity, committing everything. The old man quietly glanced at the wolf monk and said in a low voice, "You...... You had the best relationship with him at the time, and you were in a similar situation with him. And, I remember, at that time, you ...... You're even a little more fierce than him, so ...... That's why Master Shakya named you the Wolf Monk......"
