Seeing what Elder Ran was listening to, I also listened attentively, and at first I couldn't hear anything, but gradually I heard a voice, like the sound of a person and an animal being tied up and struggling, the sound was very small, it was impossible to hear any sound in this underground, and if this sound could be heard, it must be underground, not far from here. The voice lasted for a few minutes, and I saw Elder Ran, with a solemn look on his face, and asked, "What was the voice of the master just now, why is there anyone else underground?" ”

Elder Ran spoke again: "You listen to me slowly, it was a summer night, it was fifteen, the moon was very round and bright, the house was a little hot, your master had to let me accompany him out to enjoy the cool, I was also hot, so I promised your master, the two of us came to the courtyard, there was no wind in the yard, your master said senior brother, let's go to the top of the tree, I think it's okay, such a good moon, you can also look at the surrounding scenery on the top of the tree, maybe there will be wind." You see the big ginkgo tree in the corner of the west side of the yard, we went up to that tree that night, that tree is also hundreds of years old, your master can't see it, I carried him on my back, I was young and I had the strength at that time, so I went up to the top of the tree, the crown was very large, I found a big tree for your master, and your master lay on it, and I also found a place to sit down, through the leaves, a little bit of moonlight sprinkled on us, and there was a breeze blowing through the tree, which was much more comfortable than in the house.

We lay there and didn't speak, for fear that the abbot and the other brothers would hear. And so it was an hour later, when I was leaning against a tree in a daze, and was about to fall asleep. Your master called me gently, senior brother, senior brother, look at who is outside the wall, I opened my eyes and said softly, junior brother, what sound did you hear, senior brother, I heard the footsteps of several people, outside the west courtyard wall. I looked outside the courtyard wall, and saw three people standing not far from the cemetery, one of whom was still carrying something on his back, walking towards the cemetery. I told your master to wait here, so I climbed down the tree, climbed over the courtyard wall and quietly walked towards the cemetery. At a distance of five steps from them, hiding behind a pile of weeds, looking at those people, the moonlight was very bright and I could see it very clearly, one of them was the third senior brother, and the other was the second senior brother. The other one is unfamiliar, but it is also dressed as a monk, and it is certainly not from our monastery, and there are only about 50 people in the whole monastery, so I will not be unrecognizable.

There was a sack at the foot of the monk I didn't know, and the sack was still moving, and I looked at the shape, it should be holding a person. The three of them were arguing in a whisper, and heard a voice say, wait for the master to come, you go and ask the master, the third senior brother said: Okay, you wait here, finish. The third senior brother jumped into the big tree in the cemetery, and I was afraid that he would see me from a high place, so I quickly fell down. The third senior brother usually doesn't have much contact with us in the bell tower, and I didn't know that he would be so good at light skills, as for the second senior brother's kung fu, he also taught a lot of my kung fu. I lay there motionless and didn't dare to move, they appeared here in the middle of the night, they must have done something bad to see, if they found out, I would be killed. After a while, the third senior brother came back, followed by a man in a black robe, looking at his posture of jumping from under the tree, his light skills were much higher than those of the third senior brother.

I only heard the second senior brother say, "Father-in-law, I caught a person today, it is suitable for father-in-law alchemy, I don't know whether it is placed in the bell tower or in the father-in-law's place, everyone can't make up their minds, so please ask my father-in-law." Then I heard the man in the black robe say: "Don't call me father-in-law outside, call me master, since I'm out, I'll take it back, and you won't bother me in the future, and you can go out more to find me some refining people, and don't think about any of you if you delay my big thing." ”

Several people hurriedly said, "Follow the master's orders." At this moment, I heard the father-in-law say, "Why does it smell like a living person here, did you bring some tails here?" Show me around. After speaking, except for the black-robed father-in-law who didn't move, the three scattered around to search, the second senior brother walked to me, my heart was in my throat, this time I didn't find me immediately, I was also prepared for the worst, once I found out, I ran to the temple, there were many people there, no matter how arrogant they were, they didn't dare to arrest me inside, as long as the abbot was not one of them. Two steps from me, I was ready to jump and run.

I heard a loud cry from the tree behind me: "There is a snake, the master save me." The second senior brother was stunned when he heard the shouting, and then ran up to the courtyard wall of the temple, while your master was still shouting for help from the tree. I knew that your master was covering me, and I lay there motionless, and through the gap in the weeds, I saw that the two people who searched around were back in front of the black-robed father-in-law, who was there looking at the big tree where your master was hiding.

This is the second senior brother has jumped over the courtyard wall of the temple, the temple is also lit up, several people came to the tree together, the second senior brother first climbed the big tree, "There is a snake there there is junior brother." "Senior brother, I can't see it, I touched it just now." Talking about your master, you're still crying. The second senior brother came to your master's side, pulled your master, and asked vigorously: "Senior brother, why did you come to the tree, didn't you hear anything?" Your master said: "Senior brother, I ran out of the house when it was very hot, and I just met a big tree, so I climbed up, and I fell asleep, and when I was in a daze, a snake climbed on me, and I was so frightened that I screamed." "Senior brother, don't be afraid that you will climb on my back and hold it tightly, I will take you down." Saying that, the second senior brother carried your master on his back, and at this time, the whole temple puppet was woken up by your master. The abbot also came out, reprimanded your master fiercely, and punished your master to face the wall for a month.

Listening to the gradual silence in the temple, after a while, I saw a black shadow flashing on the wall of the temple, jumped out, and came to the black-robed father-in-law, "The master is fine, he is a blind man, he was in the shade of the tree, and he was scared by the snake and cried" The black-robed father-in-law said: "Are you sure that he is blind, and he will not let him hear anything." Before the second senior brother could speak, the third senior brother said: "Master, don't worry, it's really blind, we are all familiar with each other, and he can't hear anything from such a distance." "Okay, since it's a blind man, forget it, pay attention to that blind man for a while, see if he has any abnormalities, if there is any abnormality, deal with it, everyone go back, don't come to me more if you have nothing to do." Said that my black-robed father-in-law picked up the sack and turned around and went to the cemetery, the three people, after seeing the black-robed father-in-law leave, also left immediately, where I lay down and didn't move, with the weirdness of the black-robed old man, maybe he would kill a horse pistol.

Sure enough, after a while, the black-robed father-in-law returned to the place just now, and after turning around and finding nothing, he left steadily.

I saw him return to the cemetery, and stayed for a stick of incense for a while, before slowly crawling to the corner of the wall, and quietly climbed over the courtyard wall along the corner to return to the room, I entered the room, closed the door, and your master asked me, "Senior brother, are you okay?" "Senior brother, I'm fine, thanks to you, if it weren't for you, where would I throw my little life." "I told your master everything I saw, your master doesn't look old, but he is very smart, your master said: "Senior brother, there must be a problem here, let's not make a noise now, let's see if there are any other people in the temple involved, mainly to see if the abbot has anything to do with this matter." Now we have only found out that the second senior brother and the third senior brother have something to do with this matter, and if the abbot has nothing to do with this matter, we will find an opportunity to tell the abbot about it. ”

The next day, your master went to the ashram to think about it, and I continued to investigate secretly, because of the vigilance of the second senior brother, I didn't make any progress. Until a month later, when your master's punishment ended, he came back, and he has been quiet, but the second senior brother came a few times, saying that he wanted to teach your master kung fu, and I asked your master to stay away from him, and your master kept saying that he couldn't see it, so he used this as a reason to shirk it, and the second senior brother came a few times and didn't come. ”
