In Yuan Houzhai, Yuan Zuo faced another trouble. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

After Shi Suo, Xing Mazi and others left, the people in the village clamored for the establishment of a self-defense force to strengthen the defense of the village, and the trouble was quite prosperous. But Wang Hai and his group were not willing to leave, they said to Yuan Zuo that they would not engage in a "base", but they would have to build a tower on the mountain, which was used to "send love to the landscape and recite poems and paint".

Yuan Zuo naturally didn't believe Wang Hai's words, this time he had a heart, "Mr. Wang, I don't count this matter, I have to discuss it with the old and young masters in the village." ”

When the people in the village heard this, they disagreed, and some elderly people said, "They are outsiders, what kind of tower do they want to build here?" On the mountains on all sides, there are green mountains and green waters left by the ancestors, the scenery is really good, and it also blesses our water and soil. They build any tower, it will break the feng shui. ”

Hou San said: "Master, I'm afraid that their purpose is not to repair the tower, these people are extremely insidious, and they must not have made a good calculation, this matter, you must not agree." ”

So, Yuan Zuo rejected Wang Hai. Wang Hai rolled his eyelids, snorted, and didn't say anything, and left with his subordinates. After they left, Honglingzi, Huazi, octopus, and those fish, turtles, shrimps, and crabs also left Yuanhouzhai in a gloomy manner. The village has returned to its former calm.

Two days later, a few monks came. These monks went to the village to fast and recite the Buddha, Yuan Zuo is a casual and generous person, to the monks to prepare vegetarian food and good life hospitality, headed by a middle-aged monk with the name "Haiming", Yuan Zuo proposed, saying that he fell in love with a place on the mountain behind the village, where there was a ruin of a former ancient temple, they wanted to buy that piece of land, and rebuild a temple on the ruins to promote Buddhism.

Yuan Zuo didn't think much about it, and agreed at the time, "No problem, I'll sell you a few acres of mountain land as the property in the temple." ”

The monks thanked them and said that "the Buddha will definitely bless the cottage and the Yuan donor", and immediately hired people to start construction on the mountain. According to the legend in the village, there were monks who built temples in the past, but later because of the war, they were destroyed, and now they can be rebuilt, which is also a good thing. Therefore, the people in the village did not oppose the move of "building a temple". It's just that Yuan Wu, the hunter in the village, is the man who led everyone to make trouble in Yuan's mansion that night with a five-strand fork, and a few other shrewd people, a little puzzled, Yuan Wu said to Yuan Zuo: "No, these monks built temples, we didn't say it, it's just that Wang Hai just left, and they came, is there any connection here?" ”

"Not really, right?" Yuan Zuo didn't care and said: "Wang Hai's gang, the fierce bully is like a bandit, these monks are all kind and kind-eyed, where can they be related." ”

However, Yuan Laoshan, who picked eight strands of rope in the stockade to trade, disappeared again. Immediately afterwards, Hou San in Yuan Zuo's mansion also disappeared inexplicably.

Yuan Zuo was in a hurry, the last time Yuan Laoshan disappeared, he was caught by Wang Hai, what happened this time? Yuan Laoshan is just that, Hou San is strong in martial arts, and he is alert? Why did it suddenly disappear?

When the people in the village were scratching their heads and speculating wildly, Lao Gao and Wei Dafu came.

The people in Manzhai, including Yuan Zuo, all have a good impression of Shi Suo, and now they all regard Lao Gao and Wei Dafu as being sent by Shi Suo, and they all regard them as their own people. When chatting, he also talked about the disappearance of Hou San and Yuan Laoshan. Lao Gao was careful, he asked Yuan Zuo, "Yuan Gong, last time Yuan Laoshan was caught by Wang Hai, what was it for?" Is it just because he 'walks around'? Did Yuan Laoshan see some secrets from them? ”

"Oops, I didn't really ask in detail about this."

Yuan Wu said: "Yes, yes, we are all too careless, Lao Shan usually walks through the mountains and mountains, and he must have seen the secret that they don't want others to know, so he was caught, I see, this time it is still related to Wang Hai." ”

Although it was just such a guess, no one could come up with evidence, and why Hou San also disappeared was even more confusing, and after a while, Yuan Zuo sent the people in the village to search and find it outside according to Lao Gao's idea.

Yuan Wu and Lao Gao took a few young men from the village, armed with guns, broadswords and other weapons, and left the village to search for the ancient quarry on the mountain. Yuan Wu said: "I suspect that those monks, eighty percent have problems, and their disappearance in Laoshan will be related to them?" ”

"Very likely," Lao Gao agreed, and several people climbed the mountain range and looked around, far and near the mountains and dense forests, and it was really like looking for a needle in a haystack to find someone. Especially now that it is the height of summer, the vegetation is lush, not to mention one person, it is a hundred and ten people, hiding in the mountains and forests, it is not easy to find.

Lao Gao said, "Let's go to the place where they built the temple." ”

Yuan Wu and others also meant this, everyone followed the path in the mountain, climbed upward, walked not far, and arrived at a flat platform, on the platform, overgrown with grass and dead trees, there were some broken bricks and tiles that I don't know what year and month, littered on the ground, two remnant walls, there are more than two feet high, you can tell that there was a building in the past.

Two monks, commanding a few hired craftsmen, were eradicating weeds, cleaning the foundation, preparing for construction and construction, Yuan Wu whispered to Lao Gao: "Look, the people they hired are all from afar, Yuan Houzhai is in front of them, building a house and starting a house, why don't you hire people from the village?" These are suspicious. ”

"Hmm." Lao Gao nodded. Several people stepped forward, two monks came over and clasped their hands together, and a chubby one in front of him chanted the Buddha's name and said: "Amitabha, the donors have invited, and the poor monk Haiming is polite." Old Gao Heshi returned the salute, "Hello Master Haiming, we heard that there are strongmen haunted here, so let's take a look, all the masters have come here to spread the Dharma, and we should do our best to protect everyone's safety." ”

Monk Haiming rolled his eyes twice, "Won't it?" We've been here for a few days, and we haven't seen any strong people. You may have overthought it. ”

"It's not too much to worry about, the mountains here are high and dense, and there are often robbers haunting, and just today, some people saw several ghostly people coming this way." Lao Gao said while staring at the monk's expression, Monk Haiming still shook his head, but the little monk behind him looked a little nervous, and looked to the side inadvertently. These old men all looked at it, recounted a few gossips, and said goodbye to the two monks.

Everyone searched on the mountain beam and in the ravine near the left, and found nothing, Lao Gao insisted: "Something must be wrong, these two monks, their faces are full of anger, they are not Buddhists with compassion at all, I think, these people, this place, we should monitor them and watch their every move closely." ”

"Yes, that's how it should be." Yuan Wu and other villagers said.

That night, after consultation with Yuan Zuo, Lao Gao took a few people, divided into several shifts, to monitor the construction site of the house.

After another two days, there was no progress in searching for the missing person, and everyone was a little disappointed, although they suspected Haiming and others, but they had no handle. But at night, Lao Gao led a team to monitor the construction site, but suddenly encountered a situation.

In the mountains at night, there is silence, only when the mountain wind rolls over, there is a burst of leaves, on the construction site of the temple, there is a tent, there is a faint light throughout, Lao Gao and a few young men in the village, sitting on a small hill not far from the construction site, staring ahead.
