Chapter 373: A Tooth for a Tooth

There was no sound in the valley, and the line of sight was too wide, so the little Taoist priest didn't dare to follow too closely. When he looked again, he found that the monk was gone.

But this can't help the little Taoist, he is a wolf child, he slowly leaned down, smelled the ground, the smell of the monk, and pointed to the cliff on the left.

Following the smell he walked to the edge of the cliff, and in front of him were two large trees that grew together, the trunks were not high, but the branches were dense, and it felt like two lovers were snuggling together.

The little Taoist priest knows this kind of tree, and in the mountains people call it 'Lianxin Tree', and it is said that as long as lovers make a wish under this kind of tree, they will definitely achieve what they want in their hearts.

There was obviously no way out ahead, but behind the trees, there was a sound of rustling.

Is there a hole in the back of these two trees?' ’

The little Taoist priest didn't dare to touch the leaves, he was afraid that he would make a noise and alarm the monks inside. He could only wait quietly until he could not hear a sound. He then carefully began to parting the leaves, creating a small gap.

Immediately, a faint light shot out from inside, and faintly, a figure could be seen, facing away from him in the cave, digging something, and a lighted searchlight was placed against the wall.

'Could it be that the monk is digging treasure here?' The little Taoist priest was about to take a closer look, and suddenly found that next to the monk's shadow, there was another figure, this figure was graceful, wearing a long skirt, and at first glance, it was the ladies of the rich family.

Strangely, the monk didn't seem to notice a woman standing behind him. He's still digging there desperately with his head buried. Suddenly, he seemed to dig into something? He simply threw away the tools in his hand and used his hands to plan.

Finally, he carefully pulled out an oilcloth-wrapped object from the ground, he gently placed it on the ground, and then carefully opened it, and a golden phoenix crown appeared. On the top of the phoenix crown is a huge phoenix, and on both sides is an open bun decoration, which can only be worn by ancient noblewomen.

"Rich, rich!" The monk raised the phoenix crown high and shouted, his voice echoing in the cave, sounding particularly harsh.

"Xianggong, you're finally back!" A woman's voice also sounded in the cave.

The monk was taken aback, and he looked around in a panic. Strangely, he didn't seem to see the shadow on the cave wall. He hurriedly put the phoenix crown away and wrapped it again.

The little Taoist priest was also shocked into a cold sweat outside the cave, because the sound was too real, and he seemed to move when he saw the shadow on the cave wall.

"Xianggong, I've been waiting for you here for hundreds of years, and you're finally back." The shadow on the cave wall rushed towards the monk, and the monk made a clever move, picked up the phoenix crown and ran.

"Xianggong, don't go, our husband and wife have only seen each other again for so many years, are you ready to go on the expedition again?" The shadow passed through the monk's body and suddenly blocked in front of him.

The monk only heard voices in his ears, but he couldn't see people, he just rushed forward in a panic, he only felt as if he had hit something? He stumbled under his feet, and suddenly pounced out, and the phoenix crown in his hand also flew out. When he got up again, he couldn't see the phoenix crown in front of him anymore, and he didn't care about looking for it again, so he didn't even dare to turn his head back, so he rushed out of the cave directly.

The moment he rushed out of the cave, he seemed to see a figure flashing, he didn't dare to stay any longer, and immediately ran out of the valley as if fleeing for his life, and a woman's voice still came from behind him: "Xianggong, you stay with me." ”

The little Taoist priest not only saw everything outside the cave, but the phoenix crown that flew out rolled in front of him, he immediately reached out and grabbed it out of the cave, seeing that the monk did not dare to flee back, the little Taoist priest did not dare to stay for another moment, and quickly withdrew from the valley.

Now that he has the phoenix crown in his hand, the little Taoist priest is not afraid that he will not have anything to lure the monk to take the bait. He followed the monk back to the mountainside again, and as soon as the monk hid in the hut, he never came out again.

The little Taoist priest is not in a hurry, he needs to think of a foolproof way to avenge his master.

The monk didn't dare to go out for a few days, because he always seemed to hear the sound of meditating and chanting scriptures from the thatched hut of the old Taoist priest next door, and sometimes, he even reached his door.

The monk was also a person who had seen a ghost once, and at first he suspected that he had heard it wrong, but the same voice came out for several days, how could he not believe that it was the old Taoist priest who came back to find him?

He hung a yellow talisman in his room and recited the Diamond Sutra every day, so that there would be no fear in his heart. But he couldn't stand it without eating for a few days, he only felt that he was starting to become weak and weak, and his whole body was weak.

The sound next door finally stopped, he listened carefully again, there was indeed no sound, he tried to push the door open, a direct ray of sunlight came in, stabbing him so much that he almost couldn't open his eyes.

He reached to his forehead to block out the sunlight and found that not far from the door, someone was watching him. He shuddered with fright and broke out in a cold sweat. The other party was wearing a blue Taoist robe, and he was holding a familiar oilcloth bag in his hand.

The monk finally saw the shadow outside, it was not the ghost of the old Taoist priest, but the little Taoist priest who had been beaten away by himself. The oilcloth bag in his hand was also the golden phoenix crown he dug up in the cave.

"Little Taoist, it turns out that you have been doing ghosts for the past few days!" Seeing clearly that it was his own subordinates who were defeated, the monk's confidence suddenly came up, and he boldly walked out of the thatched hut.

"Yes, monk, I will avenge my master today." The little Taoist priest shouted categorically.

"Just you?" Dealing with the little Taoist, the monk is still sure of victory, he has long forgotten the fact that he has not eaten for a few days.

"Okay, then let's make a bet today. If I reach the top of the mountain first, you will kowtow to my master three times at the top of the mountain; If I lose..."

"How about you lost?" The monk smiled, on the footsteps, who can be as fast as him here?

The little Taoist priest opened the oilcloth bag, and a golden light shot out: "I'll give it back to you." ”

The monk's eyes lit up, this was the golden phoenix crown he had dug up desperately, and it was also the biggest temptation for him.

"Okay, I promise you." The monk had already rushed forward before he finished speaking, he had always been a person who did not follow the rules.

However, he felt that his movements today were not as sensitive as before, because it was obvious that the little Taoist priest's reaction seemed to be faster than him. As soon as the golden light disappeared, he had already turned and ran out.

The monk pounced all of a sudden, but in his eyes, now only the golden phoenix crown was left, and he immediately riveted enough strength to chase after him.

The two of them rushed one after the other, according to the previous situation, within eight hundred meters, the monk should definitely be able to catch up with the little Taoist. However, he was obviously a little powerless today, especially his steps were a little weak and he couldn't lift his strength.

However, the little Taoist priest didn't seem to be running blindly today, he was obviously waiting for him a hundred meters in front of him.

He clearly wanted to humiliate himself! As soon as the monk gritted his teeth, he couldn't care that he was already a little out of breath, so he chased after him desperately. Seeing that the top of the mountain was not far away, he still maintained a distance of dozens of meters between himself and the little Taoist. The monk was in a hurry, he knew that he couldn't catch up with him anymore, and he had bad water in his heart for a lifetime.

Seeing that the little Taoist priest had reached the top of the mountain and stopped, he had no intention of stopping, and he jumped up and crashed towards the little Taoist priest. He meant to knock the little Taoist priest down the cliff together. At the same time, he also stretched out his hand to snatch the oilcloth bag in the little Taoist's hand.

The little Taoist priest didn't seem to expect the monk to have this move, he flashed in a hurry, his Taoist robe was torn off by the monk, and the oilcloth bag in his hand also fell off. He tried to stop and pick it up, but his feet slipped, and his whole body flew out.

Only then did he see clearly that behind the little Taoist priest was a piece of white powder.

"You pit me..."The monk's body seemed to have fallen on the ice, and his feet were already weak, he could no longer control his body falling off the cliff. He turned over suddenly, trying to grab anything on the edge of the cliff, but there was nothing on the edge of the cliff, and in the end, all he was left with was the little Taoist priest looking at him indifferently...

Almost in the same place as the corpse of the old Taoist priest, the deceased only showed a bald head, and a blue Taoist robe was covered on his body.

"Lin Suo, it's really a monk." The tree took one look at it and covered his face with his robe.

"Why is there a robe here?" Lin Jinghao looked up at the top of the mountain, he seemed to see the little Taoist priest, who was standing on the top of the mountain and looking down.

"See if there are any signs of damage on the robe?" The last time it fell with the old Taoist priest, it was only a corner of the robe, and he believed that this corner must have some specific relationship with the robe that fell this time.

"Really, Lin Suo, there are traces of repair on the sleeve of the right hand of the robe... Looks like it's still very new. The big tree carefully checked the robe.

"Look at the soles of the monk's feet, if there are also white marks left by talcum powder."

"Yes, not only the soles, but also the pants and clothes." Taishu replied as he examined.

Lin Jinghao's eyes were still looking at the direction of the top of the mountain, everything was already obvious, the little Taoist priest killed him in the way that the monk killed his master, which was a typical 'tooth for tooth' revenge.

However, does the little Taoist priest really have nothing to do with the death of the old Taoist priest? Why is it that when the old Taoist priest dies, there are traces of the little Taoist robe...
