Elder Ran continued: "The days go on like that, your master can't see it, so we don't want him to do a lot of chores, most of the time in the main hall to follow the scriptures, more than two months have passed since the day when we found the black-robed father-in-law, we didn't dare to go again, I don't know how many of their people are in the temple, I have observed for a long time and have not found anything abnormal about the abbot."

One night there was a passing scholar because he missed the time, came to the temple to stay, said that it was Gaomi to visit friends in Jinan Mansion, the scholar also brought a scholar, the second senior brother was responsible for the reception of the temple, so two houses were arranged, the scholar himself one, the scholar arranged to our room, there was nothing to do at night, when the scholar went to call the scholar to get up and wash, he found that the scholar was gone, the scholar looked for us, we took him to find the second senior brother, the second senior brother took us to find, I searched the whole temple and didn't find the shadow of the scholar, I couldn't find the scholar, the scholar didn't do it, and he cried and shouted to report to the official, saying that we were a black temple, and finally the abbot also came out, and asked us to look for it again, even the places around the temple were searched, and I looked for a day, but I didn't find it, and the abbot couldn't deal with it, so I had to promise the scholar to report to the official tomorrow. At night, the scholar still lived in our room, the scholar was crying, I comforted him with your master, and when we were not asleep, the second senior brother came, saying that he would arrange a room for the scholar alone, and the scholar followed the second senior brother.

The next day, we got up to do morning class and didn't see the scholar, and I didn't find it later, the second senior brother said that the scholar came back with a letter last night, saying that he got up early that morning and went to the county seat, and he didn't have time to tell the scholar that the scholar would go to the county seat to find him, and only me and your master knew what the result was. Anyway, no one has seen them since, and the government hasn't come.

After more than ten days, someone came to find someone and asked us if we had seen these two people, and we all said that they were gone, and the second senior brother received them, and they also said that they had noses and eyes.

After the family left, one day the abbot, Master Wenhui, called me and asked me about the scholar's situation, and asked me what the scholar said to write, and the abbot finally said that this matter was very strange, and asked me to pay attention to the second senior brother. I'll go back and tell your master, and your master said that it seems that the abbot is not one of theirs, so find an opportunity to tell the abbot about the situation that night.

Until one day, the second senior brother went to the county seat to have something, and the third senior brother didn't come out of the bell tower, and when no one was there, your master and I came to the abbot's room, from beginning to end, told the abbot about the first time your master heard the strange sound to the time we found the strange father-in-law, and the abbot told us not to tell others, he would arrange for my two to replace the third senior brother to go to the bell tower, so that we could secretly investigate.

The next day, when doing the morning class, the abbot announced that the two of us took over the third senior brother to go to the bell tower on duty, and the third senior brother went to the Daxiangguo Temple in Beijing on behalf of the master to ask for Buddhist relics to come to our temple to pay respects. That day, I saw the second and third senior brothers looking at us with strange eyes. After the morning class, we followed the third senior brother to hand over, looking at the third senior brother's unhappy appearance, he was really reluctant to leave, but the abbot arranged for him to have no choice. The third senior brother packed up his things and told us not to be stable here, not to run around, especially the cemetery behind, not to go, there are unclean things, you can still hear crying at night, and the things in the bell tower should not be moved, and when he comes back and finds that we are messing with his things, he can't spare us, the third senior brother, there are a lot of rambling things, and he will leave.

After the third senior brother left, I set up a bed on the ground floor with your master, I observed it and didn't find anything abnormal, anyway, there is time, we are not in a hurry, and we will find it slowly later.

That is, during the time in the bell tower, we discovered the secret of this staircase, this staircase was designed to be used up and down, there is a mechanism, as long as the mechanism is pressed, the staircase will receive the ground, you can follow the stairs to the bottom, below is an empty basement, the place is very large, and there are many secret passages that do not know where to go, for fear of alarming them, we did not dare to go inside, there are alchemy tripods and a lot of alchemy medicinal materials, nothing else was found, I guess it's the second senior brother who knew that we were coming, and they all moved away, I told the abbot, the abbot told us to pay attention to the cemetery, and we also need to pay attention to the second senior brother, we often take the opportunity to ring the bell at night to go up to observe the cemetery, but we haven't found anything.

One day, the abbot sent a little novice to call us, we came to the abbot's room, saw the abbot lying on the bed, his face was not good, after sending the little novice out, the abbot asked me to close the door and said: "Clearly, I am poisoned, it seems that they want to get rid of me, I tried to detoxify myself to no avail, it seems that there are not a few days to live, after I return to heaven, your senior brother is not there, the position of abbot will be attributed to your second senior brother, but I will not be so willing to give him, tomorrow I will announce, I will temporarily take the position of abbot, Don't be there over there, we don't know their details now, it's not good to be in a hurry, Xuanqing left the temple and went to Laoshan to find Xu Fuyang, he has an old relationship with me, although Shi Dao is not a family, but I also admire their Taoist spells, and I want the evil demon in the other party's cemetery, no spells, before Xuanqing has no spells, you don't want to touch him, but find their accomplices, and slowly dispose of them, that day Xuanqing came back from learning, it was the day of revenge for me. There is also a secret room under the Buddha statue in the main hall, which is passed down by the abbot from generation to generation, in order to avoid indiscriminate use, today I tell you that if there is danger, you can go there to hide. "In this way, your master left the monastery and went to Laoshan to abandon the Buddha and follow the Tao.

A few days later, the abbot died, and I took over the position of abbot, and the second senior brother did not make any movement, because we gave the bell tower to the third senior brother who came back to guard, and everyone lived in peace like this. I have also been carefully making preparations, cultivating my own forces, observing the situation in the cemetery, and waiting for your master to return from his studies.

Until ten years ago, your master went to the capital, passed by here, and came to find me, I didn't expect your master's eyes to be better, it seems that Taoist magic is still very clever, because after more than ten years, your master came in plain clothes, no one thought that the original blind man was now him, so he pretended to be a passing guest and stayed in the temple.

In the past few years, I have recruited more than a dozen new people, and I have slowly replaced those who I suspect that I am in the same group as the second senior brother, because I have always respected them on the surface, and the bell tower has always been where the third senior brother is, and everyone has always been safe. On the night your master came back, he came to my room at night, and your master said, "He is going to the capital, I don't know what will happen this time, I haven't fully learned Taoism yet, I don't know if I can fight them, but I'm afraid that there will be no chance in the future, so we have to understand this matter in the next few days." "Your master asked me to solve them one by one, first solve the problems in the temple with the second senior brother and the third senior brother, one by one.

The next day, your master and I were in the room, and sent someone to call the second senior brother, we had prepared in advance, and when the second senior brother was not prepared, your master used the acupoint method to point the second senior brother, and in this way, we arrested a total of five or six people who were with them in the monastery.

The third senior brother is in the bell tower, is the last one, after calling the third senior brother in, your master from behind, to point his acupuncture points, who knows that the third senior brother's wide monk's robe is actually wearing iron armor, not at all, the third senior brother's light skills and reaction are very powerful, immediately jumped up, jumped on the window, kicked the window and ran out, and when I and your master chased out, he had disappeared into the bushes of the cemetery.
