"Why, Etajima boy, I'm scared," Sakurai asked with a smile.

Kojima gritted his teeth, "I am willing to die for Your Excellency"

Soon the car drove to the gate of Pushan Villa, at this moment it was completely dark, although in the name of the villa, it was actually dozens of acres of cemetery, with a few office buildings and a square of temporary coffins.

Looking through the thin bamboo fence, the island was dark and unclear, and occasionally a few green ghost fires flashed. Although he was still in the car, the cold sweat on his back had involuntarily flowed down.

Settle down, get out of the car and knock on the door, the villa also arranges night duty personnel, at this moment I heard someone knocking on the door outside, muttered a few words to open the door, only to see a black car parked at the door, but knocked on the door is a young man in a suit and leather shoes.

This is so strange, usually not to mention that the evening is just four or five o'clock in the afternoon, there is no newcomer around, why is someone sent to the door today?

"This master is good," Kojima politely greeted and stuffed two packs of old knife brand cigarettes into his hand.

Seeing him so polite, it was not good not to greet him, "Excuse me, is there something?" ”

"You see, the mage sitting in the car is a great monk who has just returned from the East to seek the Tang Tantric Sect, he said that he has a fate with Shencheng, and he has the heart to resolve the grievances here, but my master has always been low-key and calm, and he is unwilling to publicize it. That's why I came after nightfall. ”

"This... The face on duty was embarrassed, "Our boss, I know, but we want to stop our business."

Kojima took out a roll of banknotes and stuffed it into his hand, "You see, the practice of a high monk is a great merit to resolve injustice, not to mention that it is a high monk who has returned from the east, and he usually can't invite him, but today he just made a vow." It will also be of great benefit to you in the future. It's so cold at night, do you want to buy a glass of wine and drink it?"

Seeing that the night watchman was still slightly hesitant, Kojima coughed and said with a face, and proclaimed the Buddha's name: "On the occasion of the end of the Dharma, the bhikshu learns the Dharma from the white clothes, and sits on the bhikshu in the white clothes, and the bhikshu says that he cannot bear it, and the white clothes say that he thinks it is supreme, and the demon bhikshu is born by himself, and he thinks that the truth is true in the world, and the canon of the Dharma is unknown, and the deception is faith, and the bhikshu should raise his wife and slave to govern his life, but he will sue together and not accept Buddhism. My teacher has great compassion and wishes to follow the Buddha's example of cutting meat and feeding tigers, and to make great merits at the cost of his own cultivation. Amitabha, may the Buddha bless you. After saying that, he turned around and left.

Seeing that the other party sent money and cigarettes, and moved out of the name of a monk studying in Japan, the foreign monks were good at chanting, not to mention the high monks who invited the Japanese Tang Mi Zhengshuo, which was far more valuable than the domestic thieves. Seeing that the other party was really annoyed and wanted to leave, the night watchman hurriedly grabbed the island.

At the same time, he was also thinking that there was really nothing in the villa that others could look at except for the coffins of the dead and the ashes, so he quickly admitted his mistake, "You misunderstood, you misunderstood, I will open the door and let you in." ”

"Thank you so much, but I also ask a few people to keep their promises not to preach this matter to the public, otherwise I am afraid that the endless stream of people who come to seek the Dharma will disturb my master's cultivation. By the way, when my master is doing this, there will be some movement, so in order not to disturb you, I don't know if there is a separate room. ”

"This... , just a duty room, the other offices are locked, we don't have a key, other than that, there is only a room for the coffin. ”

"That's okay"

"It's just that these coffins are not hollow, there are crusts in them, and there are few roads these days, so they are all piled up and waited for a few days, and they are burned together. This one... ”

"Just go anywhere, my master is a high-ranking monk and is upright, and there is nothing to be afraid of."

The watchman looked at the money in his hand, and then at them. Without further ado, he opened the door to let the car in, and then led them into the cuo.

It was a rather large bungalow, and there was no electric light in the room, except for a candle in the watchman's hand. Moreover, this candle is not a white foreign candle specially used for lighting, but a red candle that is usually used by people to worship the gods. Although the same candle can also be lit and glow, this kind of candle using bamboo as a wick burns more smoke, and the flame is more unstable.

Within the scope of the distorted candlelight, Kojima only saw that the room was full of benches, and all kinds of thin-skinned coffins were resting on the benches, obviously this was a method that was thought of for the convenience of transportation.

Although the attendant is bold, it is the first time to enter the guest house full of solid coffins at night, and his walking legs are inevitably a little weak, and he also secretly cheers himself up, "There are virtuous monks behind, not afraid, not afraid"

The three of them walked to the center of the room, they didn't know what to say, the room was desperately quiet, and suddenly there was a "snap", and the watchman's legs were weak and he was about to fall, and Kojima was so frightened that he jumped to the side. Seeing that the candle in his hand was about to fall to the ground, a hand stretched out next to him to catch it. The light of the candle flame is cast onto Sakurai's face from the bottom up, and the backlit human face presents an extremely terrifying and eerie visual effect.

The attendant didn't care about anything, and almost crawled out of the room, leaving behind a sentence that he must leave by six o'clock tomorrow morning.

Seeing that there were only two people left in the room, Sakurai said, "Kojima-kun, you go back first, and come back tomorrow morning to pick me up." ”

"No, senior," Kojima Hidemitsu's voice trembled obviously, "Since I am your attaché, I will always be by your side, you are our mastermind, and it is irrational for you to stay here alone." I'm not going to leave an inch tonight, but I won't bother you with it. ”

"Good" Sakurai glanced at him appreciatively, "Only those who can face their inner fears can eventually overcome their fears, and what makes us afraid is often not specific things or people, but the fear itself, from the deepest obsession of the self." Today I will take the opportunity to practice the Dharma, and if I can succeed in one go, it will be of great benefit to me, and I can teach you in the future. Okay, I'm going to start, you can do it yourself."

"Oh, that's right," Sakurai suddenly remembered something, and took out a few small amulet-like things from his side and stuffed them to Kojima, "I'll lend it to you for the time being, and I'll pay it back tomorrow." These amulets are quite effective. ”

"Your Excellency, don't you wear it yourself?"

Sakurai smiled and shook his head, no longer speaking.

After saying that, Sakurai took out a white cloth from the package he was carrying, spread it on the ground, and then sat cross-legged. He also took out a white candle and lit it for lighting. In his left hand, he holds a small drum, and in his right hand he holds a rod the length of a ruler in front of his chest.
