Chapter 15: The Fall of the Ancient Temple
I discussed it with your master, and we didn't have the ability to go in to check it again for the time being, and the people from the Yin Demon Sect inside were almost finished, and occasionally a few of them were trapped there by your master's formation, and besides, your master still had to go to the capital, and it was not good to delay it for a long time, after all, it was summoned by the emperor to lock the third senior brother and the corpse man in the secret room that the abbot said, and those who were arrested by the Yin Demon Sect would cultivate here for a few days, and give some silver and put them home.
Wait for your master to go to the capital to contact a few masters, and let's check the underground secret room of the cemetery. I also have to inquire about what kind of sect the Yin Demon Sect is, I haven't heard of it before. Your master didn't see the one named Gonggong Yang when he went down, did he leave early, or was he still below, although the third senior brother said that he went to the capital, but how could it be so coincidental. Maybe I'll just go into hiding.
When your master left, he told me that if he couldn't come back on time, he would send a letter to one of your senior brothers to come over, so I know the names of several of you, and when I saw you today, I guessed it was you, because you are much older than your senior brothers.
After your master left, I also arranged a few good guards on the side of the bell tower, for fear that they would come again. It's been like this for more than a year, and your master hasn't come back, so I thought it would be fine.
One night, the four monks on duty in the bell tower behind were gone, and there was no sign of a fight, and I sealed the mechanism there, and I didn't find that it was opened. I knew something bad was wrong, and several people disappeared at once, and I knew that I couldn't hide it, so I notified the government, and the government also came to check and there was no result. With my own kung fu, I don't dare to go to the cemetery to check if I don't know the formation spell. Several more disappeared in the following months. The government also sent someone to live here to check, but there was no result at all, and I knew in my heart that someone from the Yin Demon Sect was here.
In less than half a year, there were a few me and a few henchmen left in the temple, and it happened that the official road was diverted here and became remote, and the incense was gone, so I discussed it with a few henchmen, let them return to the vulgar, and I gave him the remaining part of the money in the temple and let them leave.
They came back to see me regularly, and brought me food, but they all went through the secret passage, and in this secret room, there was a secret passage near the village, and they came from there, and there was an apprentice who got married over there, and built a house on the secret passage, so outsiders couldn't find it.
In this way, I am in the monastery by myself, and I am not afraid anyway, I just chant and meditate every day, and I don't go to the bell tower in the back, and they don't come to harass me.
One night, when I was meditating, the door opened, and a black-robed man with a masked face came in, and the black-robed man sat on a chair and said, "We have no grievances, and we have not provoked you, why are you going to kill them all, we have been operating here for many years, and we were destroyed by you, and now I am back, and you know our methods, and today I am here to tell you, either leave or die, you choose." After speaking, the black-robed man left, and I knew by listening to the accent that this was that Yang Gonggong.
I knew that they thought I was in the way here, so I went to my disciple from the secret passage that night and told him that I wanted to fake the death of the monk so that they could relax their vigilance and continue to stay in the monastery to monitor them until your master returned.
The next day, I wrote a letter and put it in the main hall, saying that I wanted to find the Buddha after passing away through the Dharma, and then set fire to the room where I lived, and in the room, it was the corpse they brought from outside, and in this way, I deceived them, and they all thought that I had passed away, and if you weren't in danger today, I wouldn't have gone out.
The Iron Buddha Temple also fell because of my death, I am a sinner, I originally thought that your master would come back quickly, who knows, after waiting for so many years, I think your master must have had an accident, but I can't leave here, and I can't find out about your master, so I have to continue to wait. Fortunately, I waited for you today, and I also told you what happened here, if anything happens to me in the future, no one will know about it, and it will depend on you to get rid of these Yin Demon Sects.
"The master came with me today that my friend is gone, do you say that they arrested him, and I saw a girl in the bell tower, with an evil face full of evil spirits, is that a corpse?" I asked.
Master Zhiran said: "They must have been arrested, but if they were captured, it would not be so simple to be rescued, if there is still some hope in the bell tower, if it is in the cemetery, then there is no hope at all, your master's skills can't destroy them all, that's still that Yang Gonggong is not there, that Yang Gonggong is also a master, and kung fu is not under your master." “
"Master, I must rescue Mr. Wang, he came with me, if I can't save him and die here, I will fight with them."
Hearing me say this, Master Ran also said: "Okay, I'll fight this old life and accompany you to a trip, let's go to the bell tower first, if it's in the bell tower, it's okay, if it's in the cemetery, we don't want to go, it's not that I'm afraid of death, it's that I don't think I can fight them, if you have any accidents, who will eradicate them in the future." If you want to go, we will go again tomorrow, now is the time for them to come out for activities, now go to bed first, you are tired of the day to rest well, I will go out and call a few helpers. ”
After the master finished speaking, he walked to a closet, opened the closet, and took out a quilt and a mattress from inside, and put them in front of me, "You can rest here tonight, and don't care about any movement." ”
After saying that, Master Ran took the lantern and left through the secret passage in the corner.
I was lying on the quilt and wondering, how can I get Mr. Wang out, can I do it with my ability? But no matter what the result, I have to save him, which is also my principle of life.
I fell asleep in a daze, and when I woke up, the master was already sitting at the coffee table, and next to me sat two people dressed as villagers, both about thirty years old.
When Master Ran saw that I had woken up, he said, "Get up, these are my two apprentices, and now they are both vulgar." ”
One of the older ones said: "My name is Chen Qingjiu, I live in the village in the west, this is my junior brother, Liu Xiyu, also in the village, today we also heard the bell, I wanted to come and see, but the master told us that he didn't call us and we can't come." So I rushed here from the secret road, and met the master halfway, only to know that you were here, it turned out that we had all met when Uncle Xuanqing came, but unfortunately we waited for Uncle Xuan Qing to come for so long. "The one named Liu Xiyu also nodded to me and said hello,
I also said; "Two senior brothers, thanks to my uncle for saving me today, now I have to trouble the two senior brothers and my uncle to save my friend. The younger brother has thanked the senior uncle and the senior brother here, in fact, the master arranged for me to come over this time. "After saying that, I told me about the fact that the master was killed in the capital and sent a letter to me to have the opportunity to come to find Uncle Ran.
Although Elder Ran guessed that something might have happened to the master, when he said it from my mouth, tears still flowed from Uncle Ran's eyes. He recited "Amitabha, Amitabha" more than a dozen times in his mouth. ”
Who said that monks are monks, they jump out of the world, they also have feelings, especially the master came to the temple at the age of nine, lived with Master Ran for more than ten years, and experienced how many things you have together, this feeling can be said to be the heaviest part of Master Ran's life.
