Mt. Mochizuki is not very steep, the mountain path is gentle, and there is a temple at the top of the mountain, and there are probably more than fifty houses.

The temple is built very luxuriously, as if it were a fairyland on earth, and the inside of the temple is spotless.

Song Ruilong found a monk in the temple, and after asking, he learned that their host was not in the temple.

Su Xianrong looked around, and suddenly she saw a monk with a ball of meat on his head.

Su Xianrong knew the monk, and the monk was the monk who turned money into money, the monk who made trouble at the Jixiang Inn yesterday.

Su Xianrong rushed over like an arrow, blocking the way of the monk who turned into money, and said, "Monk turned into money, where do you want to go?"

The monk said very calmly: "The donor's words are wrong, this is the temple of the poor monk, that is, the home of the poor monk, and the poor monk can go wherever he wants." And the two donors came to the poor monk's home and asked where the poor monk was going, how did the poor monk answer? ”

Song Ruilong said: "Under the whole world, it is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister." Your temple is holy today. Where do you think of you? Will you be able to get anywhere? ”

Su Xianrong said: "A person, if there is no ghost in his heart, of course he can go anywhere, but if a person breaks the law, he can't hide in his own home."

The monk said: "Then dare to ask the poor monk what crime he has committed?"

Song Ruilong said: "Even if you don't commit a crime, you shouldn't be silent when you see this county." Now the county has a few questions to ask you, you have to answer honestly, if there is a false sentence, the county will immediately put you in prison. ”

The monk said: "If you have something to say, just ask." The poor monk replied yes. ”

Song Ruilong said: "Where did the host of your temple go?"

The monk shook his head and said, "I don't know." Where is Master Zhihua going, how can he talk to us monks who have no status? ”

Song Ruilong took out a bronze mirror in his hand and asked, "Have you seen this bronze mirror?"

The monk looked at it and said, "The bronze mirror is the monk at the Buddha statue in front of it, and it is given to the pilgrims." We monks never use these things. ”

Song Ruilong said: "Then the county will ask you again." Your host, that is, the master of intellectualization, when did he become the host? ”

The monk shook the meat ball on his head a few times and said, "My lord, please come here!"

Monk Huaqian took Song Ruilong and Su Xianrong to his own room, and after each sat down. Said: "My lord, if you want to say that the presiding officer of Mochizuki Temple is really a mysterious figure. We don't know where he came from, but when he became a monk, he was twenty-five years old. However, his Huigen is very good, and the presiding officer of Mochizuki Temple passed the position of presiding officer to him a year later, and then, the former Huigen master of Mochizuki Temple sat down and ascended to immortality. ”

Song Ruilong said: "After the Zhihua master becomes the host. Is there anything out of the ordinary? ”

The monk said affirmatively: "Yes! Since Master Zhihua became the host, he rarely took care of the affairs of the temple, and the temple used to rely on the monks to make a living, but since Master Zhihua became the host, he repaired all the rooms in the temple and reshaped the Buddha statues. Later, there were more pilgrims. So he asked us to disguise ourselves as merchants and buy all kinds of things that had been opened for the pilgrims, and gradually. We have more money in our hands. If we eat meat and drink wine, the host never cares. ”

Su Xianrong praised: "This intellectual master really has a way and business acumen. It's just that he managed this temple into four dislikes, but I'm afraid, according to the laws of the Great Song Dynasty. It's going to be demolished. ”

The monk said anxiously: "You can't dismantle it!" My lord, my lord demolished the temple, where did we monks go? ”

Song Ruilong said slowly: "It's okay if you don't dismantle it." However, you have to tell us, is there anything else strange that happened to this temple? ”

The monk thought about it. "If you want to say that something else is happening, there really is." At the beginning, when Master Zhihua first took over this temple, in order to rebuild the house, he took out 50,000 taels of silver at once. Where the silver came from, we don't know, later, Huamu and Huami suspected that there was a treasury in the back mountain of Mochizuki Temple, so, that night, they took advantage of the night to go to the black people, but the next day the two of them died tragically in the back mountain, and the body was grabbed by sharp claws more than a hundred cuts, and the death was unbearable, but after Master Zhihua took us all to check, nothing was found. Finally, Master Zhihua said that there are powerful ghosts in the back mountain, so we should all be careful, if we have to go to the back mountain, it is best to go with two people. ”

Song Ruilong said: "Then did anyone go to Houshan later?"

Monk Huaqian's pupils suddenly widened, and he said, "Yes, the more Master Zhihua doesn't let others go, the more people will find ways to go." Later, Huafeng and Huayu went to the back mountain privately, and as a result, Huafeng pierced Huayu's throat with a bamboo branch, and Huayu pierced Huafeng's heart with a cypress branch, and the two killed each other and died in the back mountain. After that, no one dared to go to the back mountain without permission. Maybe there's a real ghost out there. ”

Song Ruilong said: "Powerful ghost, it's still said by the master of intellectualization, right?"

Hua Qian nodded and said, "Well, only Master Zhihua dares to enter the back mountain." The poor monk remembered that Master Zhihua and a medicinal herb merchant had entered the back mountain many times. ”

Song Ruilong said, "What are they going in for?"

The monk shook his head, and at the same time shook the meat balls on his head, and said, "We can't control what the host wants to do in there."

Song Ruilong said, "Then do you know what the name of that herb merchant is?"

Huaqian monk said: "His name is Li Chengyun, he is the owner of the Ping'an County Carrier Medicinal Materials Store, and he often donates silver to our temple, so we recognize him."

Song Ruilong continued to ask: "Apart from Li Chengcheng who went to Houshan, who else went to Houshan?"

"Who else?" The monk thought about it again and said, "There is also a boss named Liang Jixiang who also went to the back mountain. Liang Jixiang believes in the gods very much, he believes that the Buddha will bless his business, so he also trusts the presiding officer of the monastery very much. ”

Song Ruilong said: "Then have you seen Li Chengyun and Liang Jixiang recently?"

Monk Huaqian said: "No, Liang Jixiang came here two years ago, but he has never been here since. Only Lee was here seven days ago. ”

Su Xianrong had a question and said, "Why did you and Monk Huayin make trouble at Liang Jixiang's inn yesterday?" Since Liang Jixiang donated so much silver to you, shouldn't you give them a little benefit to the inn? ”
