Chapter 62: Conspiracy in the Dead of Night
After Master Huikong left, Li Yan suddenly felt a tingling of his scalp, and there was a mass grave under his feet, which made people shudder when he thought about it.
"Childe, what did the master say after talking to you for so long?" Han Qian walked in with a quilt in his arms, and when he saw Li Yan stunned aside, he asked curiously.
"Haha. Just now, Master Huikong said that there is a mass grave under our feet, and there are unjust ghosts in the middle of the night, so let me wait and not go out of the courtyard, otherwise my life will be in danger. Li Yan sat on the bed and told Han Qian what Master Huikong had said.
"Huh? Is there such a thing? In this way, this Foguang Temple really plays a big role. Han Qian also felt incredible after hearing this.
"Brother Han, do you feel that this Foguang Temple is weird?" Li Yan thought for a moment and asked in a low voice.
"What Childe said is that Han Qian also felt that this Foguang Temple was full of weirdness, the little monk said at first that there were many monks in the temple, but after we came in, we didn't see a few people in the huge temple. In addition, I see that many doors and windows in this temple are locked with iron locks, which is very strange. There is also the unjust ghosts that the master said, and there are still unjust ghosts in this pure land of Buddhism, which is really appalling. ”
"Haha! Brother Han is really as careful as a hair, and his eyes are like a torch. Li Yan laughed.
"Why is Childe laughing? Isn't there something wrong? Han Qian saw Li Yan laughing, thinking that he had said something wrong.
"No, Brother Han, you're right. Have you noticed that when the little monk opened the door, his hands were calloused, and he opened his mouth, which is what a monk looks like? There is also the master of Huikong, between the words, his eyes flickered, if I believe that there is a mass grave under our feet, but if I say that the ghosts are haunted in the middle of the night and cry non-stop, then I don't believe it. ”
Han Qian saw that Li Yan was suspicious of Master Huikong, and immediately said, "Childe, rest early, you have to hurry tomorrow morning." Master Huikong may also have good intentions, more things are better than less things. ”
"Brother Han, come here with your ears." Li Yan waved his hand at Han Qian.
After Li Yan whispered to Han Qian, who came up with his ear, Han Qian's face changed, and he said, "Childe, isn't this very good?" Besides, the master is also kind enough to take me in, how can I~"
"Brother Han, don't worry. Let's just go and have a look, and then bring Wei Liang's kid with us, and I'll call you in person at the third watch. ”
"Good. Childe, then I'll go out first. Han Qian said and exited the house.
Li Yan lay on the bed and thought to himself, "Master, master, what else is hidden in your Foguang Temple?" ”
At night, there are only a few insect calls, and the whole Foguang Temple is extraordinarily quiet.
In the Daxiong Treasure Hall, the huge golden body of the Buddha is enshrined, and under the red candlelight, the three monks are arguing fiercely.
"Big brother, I heard that a group of fat sheep came to the temple, and you went to entertain them personally, and you haven't opened meat for a long time. I think about it, the last vote is the second day of the first month of last month, and this time I finally have some decent goods. If those horses are sold to the Xianbei people, it is estimated that they can be exchanged for a lot of treasures. ”
"Third brother, I think these people are all martial arts practitioners, they are strong and strong, it's better not to provoke, they will leave early tomorrow morning, there is no need to offend such a strong enemy."
If Li Yan was here, he would definitely be stunned, it was unbelievable that the host of Foguang Temple would call him a brother and a brother with a monk.
"Big brother, don't worry. No matter how powerful the caravan is, it can't compare to my brother in Qingyunzhai. Big brother, look at it, and then the sweaty and bloody horse with the little white face will be yours. The monk who was called the third brother by Master Huikong patted his chest and said.
"Second brother, what do you think?" Huikong asked the monk who was sitting next to him without saying a word.
Next to him sat a thin-faced, hook-nosed monk, his left sleeve empty, apparently no longer from the shoulder down.
"I think what the third brother said makes sense, although this caravan is strong in guarding martial arts, our brothers in Qingyun Village are not vegetarians. Our brothers have been in the grass for so many years, for what? Isn't it just that this damn world can't survive? If it weren't for King Qin's order that the government should not disturb the pure land of Buddhism, we would have been discovered by the people of the government a long time ago. The one-armed monk looked excited, and his words were foaming at the mouth.
"yes. The second brother is right. Let's leave the Qin State after this vote, go to the south of the Yangtze River, and buy some acres of land and slaves, wouldn't it be happier and more comfortable than coming in this barren mountains and mountains. Big brother, don't hesitate. ”
Master Huikong looked at his second and third brothers, looking at himself expectantly, wanting to make a decision as soon as possible, and hesitated in his heart.
"No, let me think about it again."
"Big brother, are you willing to fall into the grass for the rest of your life? These businessmen earn all the money they make, so what's the point if we take it? Could it be that you have been an abbot for half a year, and you really regard yourself as a Buddha who purifies all sentient beings? The monk who was called the third brother by Master Huikong asked unwillingly.
"Yes, big brother! Back then, you led our brothers to slaughter five villages in a month, where was the decisive spirit to kill? ”
"Good! Then, according to the words of the second brother and the third brother, after the third watch tonight, gather the brothers to listen to my orders. Huikong really couldn't resist the persuasion of the two, so he had to agree.
"Okay, the younger brother will go to the backyard and tell the brothers first." The one-armed monk said as he walked towards the outside of the hall.
In the dark night, Li Yan and his entourage secretly climbed over the courtyard wall and walked towards the backyard of the temple.
Now that the third watch is not enough, Li Yan is really unable to sleep while lying on the bed, so he called Han Qian and Wei Liang and went out. Outside the hospital, Li Yan found that someone was watching, so he had to climb over the wall.
The whole temple was silent, and outside the temple, there was a nighthawk making a "cooing" call, which made people shudder.
"Childe, look at the courtyard in front of you, there seems to be movement inside. However, the doors of the courtyard were locked with iron locks. Han Qian pointed to the courtyard in front of him and said.
"Flip in and have a look."
"Childe, why don't I go. In case~" Han Qian saw that Li Yan wanted to go in, and hurriedly stopped.
Li Yan slapped the horizontal knife in his hand with his hand and said to Han Qian, "Brother Han, don't worry, let's go." ”
The three of them quickly climbed over the courtyard wall, which was nearly a foot high, by means of a large tree near the edge of the courtyard wall.
When Li Yan and the others jumped down, the whole person was stunned. The yard was littered with bones, and some of the rotting corpses bound by ropes emitted a disgusting stench.
"Childe, this~" Han Qian looked at the large body bones in the courtyard in front of him, and the whole person was stunned.
"General, how can there be such a crazy person, there are at least hundreds of corpses here, it's unbelievable. The pure land of Buddhism, how could there be such a tragic situation. Wei Liang carefully counted the bones on the ground, and his mouth was wide open.
"Let's go. Let's go inside and see. Li Yan said and walked towards the main hall in the courtyard.
