The wind and snow were blowing, and the white bait hurried back to the cave. As she reached the entrance of the cave, her heart beating even harder, and she stopped, hesitating.

I thought to myself, how to get those refugees to forgive Zhang Jingchun as much as possible? The boiling sky in front of the Great Hall of Immeasurable Merit suddenly poured into her mind, which couldn't help but make her hesitate again.

When she first entered the cave, she raised her long eyelashes lightly, and saw little Ami sitting alone under the stone wall, she was suddenly surprised, and walked in and asked, "Little Ami?" Why are you here? ”

"White Girl!" Seeing the white bait, Xiao Ami jumped up immediately, and then subconsciously glanced out of the cave and asked, "...... is the abbot?"

Bai Bait smiled easily and replied, "Don't worry! Your abbot is okay and will be back tomorrow! ”

"Really?" Xiao Ami's eyes lit up, but he quickly recovered his previous gloom, and the whole person fell into silence.

Bai Bait looked into the distance and asked worriedly, "How are you feeling now?" It's okay......"

Xiao Ami looked at him and said slowly: "Half an hour ago, the male benefactor who was traveling with you broke into the cave to inquire about your whereabouts, and I told him everything that happened in the cave. ”

"Will you leave?" White Bait remembered something.

He was about to leave, but there was a lot of commotion in the cave, and he suddenly turned back and shouted in the cave, and after saying something, the refugees calmed down completely. And then he was gone. ”

Hearing this, Bai Bai's mind kept coming to mind......

"Why are you here?"

"I've always been there."

"White Girl." Seeing that the white girl was a little stunned, Xiao Ami couldn't help but call: "White girl? ”

"Okay." She came back to her senses in a daze, her hot eyes moved from the refugee's face to Xiao Ami, and said with a smile: "You say." ”

Little Ami sat down tiredly, drooped her head, and asked with a melancholy expression: "White girl, where did you say the abbot went?" ”

Bai Bait also sat down, approached Xiao Ami, stretched his hand to cover his lips and said quietly: "He's going to find food for us!" ”

"Oh yes!" Little Ami couldn't help but cry out, probed inside, suddenly realized something, and said relentlessly: "It's really good, we finally have something to eat, and we don't have to go hungry anymore!" ”

Seeing that Xiao Ami showed a rare smile, Bai Bait was also very happy in his heart, his eyes drifted out of the cave carelessly, and he muttered to himself: "Fortunately, he Zhang Jingchun still has a little conscience, he stole the money but didn't spend it!" ”

That's the money to save lives, if he really spends it, then the people in this cave will really come to a dead end! Alas......

Her voice was quiet, a little blurry in the wind, but little Ami heard something. He suppressed the joy that swelled in his heart, and said in a somewhat sad tone: "Actually, the abbot is not as bad as others say......

Bai Bait couldn't help but look at Xiao Ami and listened patiently.

"Others say that he is selfish, greedy for money and lustful, and that he is not worthy of being an abbot, but how many people know the pain in the abbot's heart, he just doesn't want to live seriously...... To say a word of shame, although Buddhism is a pure place, but scheming things also happen from time to time, he can see many things clearly, but sometimes, he knows that he is in the way of others, or will be wrong, because he disdains those fights, he just wants to live casually, and living a nest seems to have become what he pursues for the rest of his life. But the abbot who seems to be a nest always reveals his true temperament at critical moments. ”

"During the time when Master Xuande passed away, the people of the outer temple brought people to Jinming Temple every once in a while, not only that, but the Jinming Temple itself was also noisy, and everyone wanted to take advantage of the fire to rob, lest the world be chaotic, at that time the abbot was silent on the surface, but his heart was so angry that his teeth itched, and finally he used a little trick to drive away those people from the outer temple, and also suppressed his own people, but no one knew the reason for this from beginning to end."

"I remember the most twice, one was eleven years ago, when the bandits were quite rampant, not counting the robbery, even smuggling and robbing all the way to Jinming Temple, at that time, it happened that Master Xuande went out, the bandits sneaked into the temple in the middle of the night, the people who guarded the temple were timid, they didn't dare to make a noise, the whole temple was frightened and hid far away, watching the precious things in the temple be robbed little by little, no one dared to go out to resist, they were afraid of the knife in the hands of the bandits, only the abbot he relied on pretending to be crazy and stupid means to fight wits and courage with the bandits, and the thieves were driven away."

At that time, he was still young, and he was scared a lot, but now I feel scared when I think about it.

"Another time, I don't know which year, in short, it is the Jinming Temple of the year, oh no, it should be said that it is the grandest day of the year in Qinhuai, the spring festival. Jinming Temple assists the officials sent by the imperial court to be responsible for the related matters of the sacrifice every year, at this time of year, Jinming Temple is very busy, but one year, the monk who is responsible for keeping the jade cup of the holy Sheng Qinhuai pure water, accidentally broke the jade cup, the whole temple is sad, helpless, in the face of the crisis of the whole temple being slaughtered, only the abbot he smiled, a look of indifference. ”

When the saint wanted to take the jade cup and fill it with water into the Bafang Dading, he ran to the saint in a hurry and said that last night, one of the fingers of the thousand-armed Guanyin Niangniang in the hall of immeasurable merit was suddenly broken, and the mutton fat jade net bottle with willow was lost its support, and some tilting occurred, causing the willow branches to droop. He immediately shouted, the grass and trees are thriving, the people's livelihood is thriving, and now the willow branch has a vision, I am afraid that it is a bad sign. I'm afraid that the Bodhisattva is to blame, he admonished the saint to hold the pure water, to the eight directions of the tripod into the water, the Bodhisattva perceives the piety of the saint sacrifice Ding, naturally will not blame, at the same time the saint holds the pure water, Fang Xiansheng for the people to do the good reputation, is the blessing of the people. After hearing this, Long Yan was happy, and also listened to the abbot's practice. The jade cup turmoil has only passed in a thrilling way. ”

Xiao Ami sighed lightly and couldn't help but sweat for it.

Bai Bait listened attentively, her eyes were wide open, and there seemed to be a wolf in front of her, outlining Zhang Jingchun's tall and majestic figure out of thin air, she looked at it stupidly, her eyes were full of admiration......

"White girl, white girl?" Seeing the white girl's eyes glazed and the corners of her mouth smiling, Xiao Ami couldn't help but ask curiously, "Are you still listening?" ”

"I'm here!" She came back to her senses, her eyebrows twisted, and she wondered: "Since he has done so many good things, why do the people in the temple still laugh at him and bully him?" ”

"First of all, the abbot has made many mistakes, but the good deeds are very few." Ami-chan explained.

"But, but the flaws are not hidden!" White bait was agitated and wondered.

"What if he wants to hide it himself or if someone else wants to hide it?" Xiao Ami pursed the corners of his lips, and said a little helplessly: "The abbot has always taken the ordinary path of the trick he thinks, commonly known as the side door, the left way, the little trick, the ghost trick." Not many people care. Master Xuande is also a strange person, he knows a lot of things, but he doesn't praise the abbot much. Other young monks made meritorious contributions, all kinds of commendations and praises, and the abbot returned with a cold end. ”

"Do you want to say that Master Xuande is biased?" White Bait asked jokingly.

"Don't dare, don't dare! Sins, sins, sins! Realizing that he was really a little out of shape, Xiao Ami immediately sat up straight, folded his hands, and confessed.

Bai Bait smiled and sighed: "He, it is indeed eccentric!" And this heart is very biased! It is enough to make those monks who are still in the temple blush for a lifetime! ”

Frightened by the white girl's words, the little Ami didn't dare to make a mistake, and read like a chicken pecking rice: "Amitabha Amitabha Amitabha Amitabha ......"

There are many ways to love someone, and there are many ways to protect a person, either alone, or silently, in the end, when you think about it, you also feel awe-inspiring and respectable.

Under the bright firelight, she couldn't help but smile lightly.

... ...

Three thousand nine hundred eighty-eight, three thousand nine hundred eighty-nine, three thousand nine hundred and ninety.

When the last drop of water quietly fell, everything around them began to fall into a dead silence, and only the sound of rough and shallow breath could be heard.

The sound of water dripping is over, and it's almost late at night.

He didn't care if he couldn't stay in the night, but it was all at this point, and the atmosphere was a little too abnormal.

An uneasy thought, like a thin cold air, crept into my heart.

I only heard a sudden "poof" sound, as if something had suddenly fallen into the water, the sound was not too light, but it was very smooth.

He could clearly feel that two drops of water had flown to the back of his hand, cold and cold, like a quietly falling snowflake. All right

The sound in my ears continued, like an oar paddling the waves unhurriedly, the movements were very soft, and the sound sounded very flat, which made people's hearts suddenly relax.

He knew it was a water snake coming out of its hole.

Immediately afterward, there was a sound of footsteps, the sound slowing and stopping, and the person who made the action should have hesitated, no, it was more like a temptation.

That person is not indifferent.

He held his breath and leaned silently against the cage, closed his eyes and listened to the sound getting closer and closer, and finally stopped about five paces away from the cage, and after that there was no sound from the man.

He opened his eyes suddenly, and a pair of dark eyes were like a cloud-piercing arrow, instantly piercing through layers of darkness and shackles, and stabbing towards the target in his heart.

However, what he saw was still too dark, and he could only vaguely see the vague figure of the man—an eight-foot body, a black robe, slightly fat, and a slightly tilted body.

He became more and more sure that that person must not be indifferent!

He stood up and cried out in a deep voice, "Who are you?" ”

His throat seemed to be clogged with something, and his voice was a little hoarse.

Incomprehensibly, the figure stood there motionless, like an ice sculpture.

"Light the torch for Hongu!" He stepped forward and commanded sharply: "This palace orders you to light the torch for this palace!" ”

"Bang"! The torches are lit!

A brilliant firelight is like a morning star that appears faintly in the sky, gradually showing a moving brilliance.

His bleak eyes were shining brightly, like bright stars rising from the clouds, and loneliness was a little scattered in his pupils.

It's just that the light is fleeting, and the corners of his lips are hooked, "It's you!" ”

The wolf raised the torch tremblingly, his neck almost retracted into the neckline, his little eyes wanted to be raised, but he lacked courage, and replied: "Yes, yes, yes ”

"Why are you here! What about indifference? His face was like an iceberg, his eyes were shining with cold stars, and he asked with a frown.

I saw that the wolf hurriedly placed the torch, and then walked to the cage with the food box in his hand, squatted down and prepared to open the food box.

couldn't bear the naked offense of the wolf, and he immediately reprimanded, "This palace asks you to be indifferent!" ”

When I first saw it, I finally had palpitations, and when I got closer, I was dwarfed.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, don't worry, we still have to walk the number of steps." Cangwolf calmly comforted, and began to busily put on the plate, "The first time the slave comes, it is also a novice, you can bear more if you don't do well, wait for a long time, the slave is familiar with the way, and it will be fine." ”

Hearing this, his eyebrows were twisted, and he suddenly asked, "What do you mean by that?" He can't die! I need you to visit Hongu! ”

"Tsk! Phew! You can't talk nonsense, it's unlucky! Cangwolf tightened his expression, couldn't be calm, and sighed lightly: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, you can look forward to my lord's well!" After all, it's not a bad thing for you. ”

"Unlucky?"

Mo Cang has done a lot of evil, and there are countless people who have scolded him, does he still care about this little saliva? Why is it suddenly unlucky today?

He locked his lips, and felt more and more that something was not quite right.

Ever since he was imprisoned in this place, Mocang Wuji came to deliver food on time every day, sometimes late, but never absent, and these days, the only person he has ever seen is Mocang Wuji.

What does the appearance of the wolf mean now?

In the afterglow of vigilance, the wolf had already gotten up, casually circling around the cage, a pair of small eyes flickering, as if exploring a treasure.

"Hey, there's a water spider here!"

The torches burning on the stone wall emitted a red light, illuminating the black, black, green and green pools of water in a strange light.

The wolf approached the deep pool, and as if the childlike innocence was not lost, he poked out his head and obsessively observed the whereabouts of a line of water spiders.

Suddenly, a black and somewhat distorted thing surfaced, its slender tongue spitting out and hissing, and two jewel-like eyes stared and stared.

"Ahh Oh, my God! What is that! The wolf jumped up in fright, subconsciously fled to the prince, and panicked: "Snake! There are snakes! Well, there are snakes! Ahhh ”

The water snake seemed to be unable to stand the strong light, and its head slammed weakly into the water, causing a layer of ripples, and the dark green waterhole gradually regained its calm, only a black thing slowly sank.

Mo Cang retracted his gaze without a trace, and couldn't help but snort coldly: "You don't play tricks in front of this palace!" If you want to do it, go back to your Changwang Mansion to do it! ”

"Slaves are really afraid of snakes! Who hasn't had a little bit of a scared spirit when they were young, hasn't they? The wolf swallowed and said in horror, his entire back soaking wet.

He leaned against the cage and didn't dare to look behind him, but asked timidly, "Your Highness, has that thing gone?" ”

Mo Cang was helpless, his cold eyebrows swept away, he no longer looked at him, and the sound of gritting his teeth came faintly.

Seeing this, the wolf carefully probed back, and saw that the waves were as flat as a mirror, so he patted his chest and exhaled a few breaths seriously, and the whole person was as weak as if someone had gouged out his kidney.

Thinking about the prince being locked up in this dark ghost place alone, he has to guard against these terrible things all the time, which is quite pitiful, if it were him, he would probably have been scared and stupid.

He raised his eyes and looked at the prince, although the prince was extremely depressed at this time, but the innate majesty was still terrifying.

Cangwolf chatted while breathing: "Your Highness, you can endure for a few more days, three days at most, and when my prince succeeds in killing the king tomorrow, he will definitely change you to a better place." ”

Hearing this, the stone is shattered! His frightened eyes swept towards the wolf, and asked incredulously, "What did you say!" ”

"Tomorrow, the Son of Heaven will take hundreds of officials to climb the mountain to worship the Ding, and the prince of my family is ready to surround the hundred officials during the sacrifice, and coerce the Son of Heaven - to order - the princes also!"

The wolf said so excitedly that he couldn't help scratching his head and babbling and singing.

He looked out of the cage in silence, the heavens and the earth were as silent as death!

Things sink, escape into the invisible; The flames rise, and everything is hazy.
