Before he could make up his mind, the voices outside the door became louder and louder.

The little monk made a silent gesture to Xu Wanzhen, leaned his ear to the door and listened for a moment, and whispered, "You come with me." ”

The two had barely gone when there was another knock on the temple door. The little monk led Xu Wanzhen to walk faster and faster, no one answered in front of the door, and the knock on the door turned into a knocking sound, making the door rumble.

The little monk led her through the main hall and into a desolate corridor from the side of the apse. After turning two corners, he appeared in front of a ruined courtyard.

The door of the courtyard was not bolted, and the little monk pushed the door in, shouting in a low voice: "Master, Master!"

An old and dry voice came from the door, "In the middle of the night, what are you doing when you don't sleep?" ”

"Master, the disciple has encountered a difficult situation. The Buddha said that saving a life is better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter, but what about the rules and precepts?"

"Idiot! In front of human life, the rules and precepts are a fart!" This old monk spoke so rudely and wantonly. Xu Wanzhen stood quietly in the courtyard, waiting for the result.

"Master, you agreed, then I'll bring someone in. Cheng Jue motioned to her and led her into the room.

Lighting the candle, Xu Wanzhen saw that the house was poorly furnished, with a bed, a table, a futon, and nothing else. An old monk with a withered face sat cross-legged on a futon, twisting Buddhist beads in his hand and rolling gently.

Hearing someone coming in, the old monk didn't open his eyes, and muttered to himself, "Cause me trouble!" After that, he stood up and threw his sleeves out of the door.

There are no charcoal basins here, but there is no cold wind blowing, and the temperature is a little warmer than outside. Xu Wanzhen finally stopped the battle and asked in a low voice, "Little Master, it's me who caused you trouble." ”

Cheng Jue touched his smooth head, smiled calmly, and said, "The female benefactor wants to stay in the temple, I can only think of the master here." Don't worry, Master, he just agreed, he went to the courtyard just to avoid suspicion. ”

"It's so cold outside, how can I feel sorry for it. Xu Wan was really guilty.

"Master wears single clothes in winter, you can't compare. Cheng Jue went out, brought in a pot of hot water, and found a stoneware cup out of nowhere, and poured hot water for her.

"The female benefactor is not too rude, and quickly drank hot water to warm her body. ”

Xu Wanzhen smiled at him gratefully. A cup of hot water slowly enters the stomach, which can't help but warm up the body and dispel the cold and tiredness.

Holding the hot water cup in her hand, Xu Wanzhen felt that she could think normally again.

"Thank you, little master, for the rescue. Xu Wan really thanked him.

Cheng Jue hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No thanks, no thanks." It was Master who took you in for one night, you rest first, and talk about it tomorrow. ”

After sending off the little monk, Xu Wanzhen went to the courtyard to thank the old monk before returning to the room.

The wooden bed is simple, only allowing one person to lie down, but fortunately, the quilt is thick enough. Xu Wanzhen dissolved her hair bun and covered it with a quilt, and her whole body slowly warmed up.

The little flame had been guarding her heart, and by this time she was tired. Xu Wan was really busy stopping the guidance so that it could also have a good rest.

I relaxed my limbs, tensed my heart for a day, and only now did I completely relax.

The pursuers were stopped outside the Qingliang Temple, regardless of their reason. Here, none of them can be hunted and hunted on a large scale.

Xu Wanzhen thought about it a few times in her heart before she let go of her thoughts. Anyway, she managed to escape! Her eyes shone like stars in the night.

……

Outside the temple, seeing that the door could not be opened, a man said viciously: "If we can't find her, we and our families will die!

Several people shook their heads one after another, and the mute woman was even more terrified. Her son is only a teenager, and his good life has not yet begun, is this about to end?

"If you don't want to die, just keep banging on my door and make the noise as loud as possible! ”

"Third Brother Yuan, the master said that the warrior monks of Qingliang Temple are very difficult to mess with. By the time we entered the temple, she didn't know where to hide, so how to find it?"

The man named Third Brother Yuan raised his eyebrows and said, "Let's just say that we chase the fugitive slaves! No matter how powerful the warrior monk is, can he still take care of our housework?"

"Yes!" the others chimed in, slamming the door hard.

Cheng Jue heard the bang on the door, and his heart trembled. He was worried when he saved the woman, and he saw that she had no scruples, and he was even more panicked.

In the distance came a monk, tall and stern-faced. At the cuffs of his body, two hemp ropes were tied to the monk's robe on his shoulders, indicating that he was a warrior monk from the Discipline Hall.

Cheng Jue complained again and again in his heart, why did he alarm this person?

"Master Tonghui. Cheng Jue bowed slightly and bowed with one hand.

"What's going on?" Master Tonghui wrinkled the door, "making loud noises late at night is really insulting to the purity of Buddhism." You're guarding the door tonight?"

Yuan San and the others outside heard the monk's answer and slapped the door louder.

"We are hunting down fugitive slaves for our master! This woman stole her master's golden hairpin and fled into the temple!"

Cheng Jue was startled, the woman just now obviously didn't say that. He was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and he only felt that the woman just now was not a bad person.

However, she said that the people behind her were robbers, and they called her fugitive slaves. Who's telling the truth?

Tonghui glanced at Cheng Jue, "You let the woman into the temple?"

Cheng Jue's whole body trembled, and his waist bent lower. Master Tonghui is the first of the precept hall, in charge of the precepts of the monks, and the temple is full of color changes.

If it is another senior brother or uncle, he can still intercede. Why did you hit the muzzle of his gun?

Seeing that he was silent, Tong Hui glared at him, his two eyebrows stood up like angry King Kong, and said, "Don't invite it quickly." ”

Cheng Jue couldn't, and hurriedly explained what happened.

"The first one, the disciple saw her going up the mountain late at night to ask for help, if she wasn't desperate, how could she be like this? ”

"What is true, what is illusory?" Tong Hui said: "You believe her, and after listening to what this group of people said at this time, your heart is shaken, yes or no?"

Cheng Jue looked ashamed and said: "The first Mingjian, the disciple is not strong-willed, and he is willing to be punished. ”

Tong Hui nodded slowly, said no more, and reached over him to open the side door.

Seeing the door open in front of him, Yuan San was overjoyed and was about to rush inside. But he saw a tall monk standing at the door, blocking the door tightly.

"This master. Yuan San gave an interrogation salute and said respectfully: "Late at night disturbed the purity of the Buddhist temple, I hope the master will forgive the sin." ”

"But this woman is an abominable woman, and she is of bad character, and she has repeatedly succeeded in stealing. Today's incident happened, and the owner ordered us to arrest her and bring her to justice. ”

The people behind him stared at Tonghui's expression nervously.

They begged for a living on Hebei Road, and they heard of the warrior monks on Wutai Mountain. Although they have a few martial arts under their hands, if Tonghui doesn't give way, they don't dare to rush in.
