"Haven't opened this box for fifty years?" Mu Zi looked at the old man and asked.

"Yes. Actually, I only tried for a year, and then I didn't try again. The old man smiled with relief, "For a year, I took this box with me every day and never left my hand, and I was crazy about how to open it, but I couldn't even see a beginning." ”

There was a hint of loneliness in his voice, "I have clearly remembered every texture on its body, but after so many years, I still have no clue." ”

"Is this really a box? Can it really be opened? The more Mu Zi listened, the more she felt that the old man had been deceived.

The old man was stunned, "This is nature!" ”

"Have you ever seen it opened?" Mu Zi asked.

The old man shook his head, "Not really. ”

"...... "So how can you be sure that it can really be opened!"

Mu Zi didn't want to ask, she wondered if the old man had become stupid after staying alone for too long! Or is he stupid in the first place, and he believes what others say?

"Is the person who gambled with you alive?" Xue Jincheng took the box and looked at it carefully.

The old man put away the smile on his face, as if he was a little sad, "No, he has been dead for many years!" ”

"How did you find out?" Mu Zi couldn't help but ask again, didn't he go out before?

"I figured it out. Since I was a child, I have been good at institutions and arithmetic. Gossip numerology, you can know it as soon as you do it. The old man said.

"Then you haven't calculated, you will be trapped in the mountains for fifty years because of a box that you don't know if you can open?" Mu Zi didn't have a good airway.

The old man smiled, he shook his head at Mu Zi and said, "I never give myself a look, the greatest joy in life lies in the unknown, isn't it?" ”

Without waiting for Mu Zi to speak again, he waved his hand and motioned for Mu Zi to listen to him, "If I had made a bet, maybe I wouldn't have made this bet, if it was my first year here, if I knew that I couldn't unlock this box, and I knew that I would stay in this cave for fifty years, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to hold on." On the contrary, I look forward to tomorrow every day, tomorrow maybe I can open the box, tomorrow maybe I can leave. ”

The old man smiled, his smile innocent and clean, like a child.

Mu Zi's heart suddenly felt sour. She admired this optimistic and interesting old man a little. Not only admires his ability, but also admires his heart very much.

No wonder he built such a paradise! In this world, I am afraid that it is difficult to find a person like him, painting the ground as a prison, but enjoying himself.

"I wonder who the senior who made the bet with you is?" Xue Jincheng asked in a deep voice.

The man seemed to have calculated everything in advance, he knew him, he knew him, and then he made such a bet to trap people in this world for fifty years.

"Him?" The old man actually smiled, as if he didn't have any resentment against the man who had trapped him for fifty years, "His fame is not small, you should have heard of it, but the monk doesn't know if he changed his name." When I was younger, his name was Huineng. ”

Monk? Huineng?

Mu Zi and Xue Jincheng's eyes widened in shock at the same time.

The former host of the White Horse Temple, Master Huineng, a high-ranking monk? That Master Huineng who is indifferent to fame and fortune, purifies all sentient beings, and is compassionate?

Master Huineng didn't say that he was in the Great Jin Dynasty, and even in several surrounding countries, he was quite famous, and such a high monk praised by everyone was actually the one who trapped the old man here for fifty years?
