"Uncle spares his life, and the little one becomes a monk, just so that he can eat a mouthful of hot rice and stabilize the meal." The little monk knelt on the ground: "The little one has been messing around the streets since he can remember, the east family steals a little, the west family takes a little, and he is either chased by people or bitten by dogs." When I was a teenager, I felt that I really couldn't live this life. It's not that I didn't want to help people do some work to support myself, but my reputation is so bad that no one wants to hire me. Xu is God opened his eyes, this is worried, I saw the notice of Guanyin Temple, saying that the temple needs monks, there is no age limit, there are no other requirements, as long as it is a man, willing to go to this Guanyin Temple to be a monk. A little thought, isn't this just right, and here it is. ”

"This is how all the monks in this Guanyin Temple came?"

"If you go back to Uncle, that's pretty much how it all came. Anyway, none of the little ones are true monks. This Guanyin Temple, although it is a temple, can be broken like this, no one comes to incense, real monks and fake monks, but no one cares. ”

"When did you come to Guanyin Temple?" Yan Su asked.

"Back to Mrs. Hui's words, it was shortly after the flood. I remember that at that time, everyone was generally miserable, and they had to eat or drink. As soon as the announcement of this Guanyin Temple came out, many people signed up to become monks. What's the picture?,Figure six roots are pure? It's not, isn't it just that the temple can give some steamed buns to cushion the stomach. At that time, there were several waves of reports, some were cleaned by the partitions, some were assigned to learn to recite the scriptures, and some were strong and did not do other things. But none of those people came back, and I don't know if they fled. ”

"Who hasn't come back?"

"There were a few fewer cleaners, and the able-bodied ones who were doing other things didn't come back. After more than half a month has passed, all that remains in this Guanyin Temple is those of us who learn to chant the scriptures. ”

"Why did you just shout for help, but someone was trying to kill you?"

"It's to kill me, but it's not necessarily a person who kills me." When he said this, the little monk twitched uncontrollably.

"What do you mean it's not necessarily the people who kill you?"

"Uncle, don't worry, listen to me slowly, speak slowly. This started the night before yesterday, we began to see ghosts in the Guanyin Temple, first heard someone screaming in the middle of the night, and then someone disappeared for no reason. Later, only me and another monk were left in this Guanyin Temple. I asked him, but he heard and saw something, and he told me in a trembling voice that he saw a ghost. I didn't see this ghost, but I saw a snake. ”

"A snake?"

"Yes, a snake, a white snake, looks particularly terrifying. Our Guanyin Temple, although it is also in the mountain, but there are no snakes on this mountain, and even if there are snakes, they will not come to the house where people live. Why? Because incense is often burned in this house, the serpent smells it, and does not come. But in the middle of the night last night, I found a snake in my bed. ”

"Found a snake in your bed?"

"Uncle, don't laugh yet, it's really a snake, and it's a poisonous snake with a triangular head. It's a shame that I usually have the habit of shaking the quilt, so if you don't shake the quilt and lie down directly, you won't be bitten to death by this poisonous snake. Although I was afraid of snakes, after all, I had grown up since I was a child, so I immediately calmed down and thought about finding something to get the poisonous snake out of the house. I don't want anything else, but my money bag is still hidden in the wall. This snake is also spiritual, and when it saw me staring at it, it was coiled on the bed and did not move. Later, when I found the stick and was about to get the snake out of the house, the snake slipped and got under the bed. When I looked under the bed, there was a jar with a thick bowl at some point, and the snake got into it. Oh my God, I saw it, and if I hadn't seen it, I really don't know how I died. ”

"You just said that there was a jar with a thick mouth in this bed at some point, didn't this jar exist before?"

"No, I swear, there must be. In that room, in the earliest days, I lived with three false monks. Later, two of them were gone, and the house was mine. Although the person was gone, the thing was still there, and I couldn't control my hand, so I went to rummage through it. Not only did I turn over the bed, but I also turned over the corners and corners under the bed, and I swear to God that there was no jar before. As for when it came to be, I don't know. ”

"Didn't you say there was another monk? What about the other fake monk? ”

"It's gone, it's gone." The monk stiffened his mouth and said, "It's really gone, I got up early in the morning and went to his house to look for it, but I didn't find half of a person." However, I found some blood next to his bedside. Not some blood, lots and lots of blood, and fragments of clothes. I guess he's gone. I was scared, but I didn't know where to flee, so I went to the side hall to ask the Bodhisattva for protection. ”

"Yunfei." Yan Suwen gave Gu Yunfei a look: "You and Shen Jiu go with him to have a look." ”

It was an extremely ordinary meditation room, and as the monk said, a large amount of blood was found in the corner of the bed and on the ground, but there were no fragments of clothes that the monk said. Fall in love with the literary network

"Is it human blood?" Gu Yunfei asked Shen Jiu, who was checking the bloodstains.

Shen Jiu shook his head: "I can't be sure, the difference between this human blood and the blood of other animals is not very big, unless this blood is also stained with some strange animal smell." ”

Shen Jiu said, pressed his finger into the blood, and then walked to the light and carefully identified it: "There are no other impurities in the blood except dust, it should be human." In the case of animals, they have some animal hair. So much blood means that the injured person is seriously injured, but why is there only blood in this area? ”

"It's strange, no matter how injured this person is, when he gets out of the house, he will definitely leave a blood stain. You can go from the door to the bed, and only this part in front of the bed is available. Is it possible? Was the injured person bandaged before being taken out? If it is a murderer, it will definitely not be a big deal. If you accidentally injure yourself, even if you have to bandage it, blood will fall elsewhere. It's so weird, it's so weird. ”

"Look here!" Shen Jiu pointed to the bulge at the foot of the bed.

"What is this?" Gu Yunfei also squatted down, and asked the monk by the way: "Is this thing also available in every room?" ”

"No, I don't have it in my room anyway." The monk shook his head: "By the way, I just remembered something. The fake monks who live in this room are a little different from us fake monks. Although we fake monks are miscellaneous, none of us have ever been in prison, and the person who lives in this room has been in prison. We don't know what he committed, but we only know that when he came to the temple, he still had something on his hand. Let me think about it again, he brought something with him, and it was the catcher from the yamen who brought him here. When they were about to leave, they also explained to him, saying that he should reflect in front of the Buddha, so as not to affect his parents at home. I thought it was strange at the time, and now that I think about it, it's even stranger. Not all of them are in prison, but when they can go to the temple to reflect. ”

"This should be a trap, there should be a secret room hidden in this room." Shen Jiu half-knelt on the ground, raised his hand and pressed the bulge: "Be careful!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a rumbling sound, and when Yan Su asked them to rush to this room when they also heard the noise, the entrance to the mechanism embedded in the ground was completely open. A staircase, zigzag and winding, stretched downward. Some memories of the past are also beginning to revive in my mind.

"Isn't there some skinned corpse hidden down here?"

"Skinned corpses?" Shen Jiu got up, clapped his hands, and glanced at Gu Yunfei: "When did Gu Ye meet a skinned corpse?" ”

"A long time ago, a long time ago." Gu Yunfei walked to the top of the stairs and looked down: "This staircase seems to be longer than we imagined." ”

"Go in and have a look." Yan Su asked and was about to go down the stairs as he raised his feet, but was stopped by Gu Changfeng, "I'll take Shen Jiu and this monk down, and you stay in the room with Yunfei and Jiang Li." The air in this secret room is not good, maybe there will be a mechanism, you are not feeling well, and it is not suitable for you to go down and adventure. ”

"Husband himself should be careful." Yan Suwen groped around his body for a while, took out two small bottles, handed one to Gu Changfeng, and the other to Shen Jiu: "Antidote, ordinary poisons can be solved, even if they can't be solved, they can temporarily restrain the toxicity." ”

"Madame did it herself?" Shen Jiu opened the cork, leaned over to his nose and sniffed it.

"For a fresh mint flavor, I specially added a fresh mint taste to avoid difficulty in taking it without water." Yan Suwen looked at Gu Changfeng with a smile, and saw that he had put away the antidote, so he took two steps back and stood behind Gu Yunfei.

In case there is a hidden weapon or something on this staircase, they will not be afraid of martial arts, but she is a pregnant woman, so it is safer to stand behind the meat shield.

"Madame is eccentric, why did she only give the antidote to Ye and Shen Jiu, but not to me and Jiang Li."

"There are no small ones, and the small ones are also afraid of death." The monk looked at Yan Su pitifully and asked. "Madam, the little one has no old age, no little one is small, and the little one is simply the most miserable person in the world."

"It's not that I'm stingy, it's that you don't need it at all. I gave my husband to my husband, not only because he was my husband, but also because if there was danger, he would definitely be the one who rushed to the forefront. To Shen Jiu, because Shen Jiu is a doctor, if my husband is poisoned or injured by a hidden weapon, I still count on him to save his life. You, as long as you follow my husband well, there will be no problem. ”

The monk pursed his mouth aggrievedly, looked at the little Bodhisattva enshrined in the room and said, "If I don't die in this catastrophe, I must also find a lady for myself who can protect me." ”
