Chapter 11: The Great Monk of the Broken Temple
Pumpkin's words made me hesitate.
To be honest, I naturally want to help Li Yan in my heart, after all, she used to be my ex-girlfriend, but it seems unrealistic to let me help her as an ordinary man.
I have to admit that I have feelings for Li Yan.
But at this time, my fear trumped my emotions.
I wanted to fix my problem first, after all, the dark spots on my body had started to spread. At that time, if it breaks out, as Li Yan said, I will be cursed and turned into a pool of blood black, it will be quite terrifying.
You can say I'm selfish, but sometimes, aren't all people like that?
If you want to help others, you have to be able to protect yourself.
The morning sun shines into the bedroom from the outside, and when it shines on me, it makes me feel extra warm. The blue sky was filled with white clouds, and everything seemed peaceful and peaceful.
But that was the life of a normal person, and now my body has begun to be abnormal.
"Shhh
I sniffled, and my chest began to ache again.
"Brother Qin, what's wrong with you? Do you feel uncomfortable? ”
Pumpkin asked me worriedly.
My teeth clicked, and I endured the pain in my heart and said to the pumpkin, "Good! Just do as you say. You can contact the monk you mentioned now and ask him to help me deal with Li Yan's ghost...... Also, you can also talk to him about my problems and see if he can solve them? ”
Seeing that my forehead was covered with sweat, Pumpkin nodded and responded: "Okay!" Then I'll contact the 'Master of the Incense Altar' now! ”
The master of the incense altar, that is, the great monk that the pumpkin said in his mouth.
After that, Pumpkin called the master of the incense altar.
The call was answered quickly.
Pumpkin told me about the situation on my side, and the incense altar master almost didn't hesitate, and agreed to come down, saying that he would help. However, he had to collect money for catching ghosts, and he would have to pay two thousand dollars at once.
Two thousand dollars, which is more than my living expenses in a month.
But the pumpkin helped me get on with it.
Hanging up the phone, Pumpkin said to me: "Brother Qin, don't worry, I will definitely help you with your affairs." Isn't it just 2,000 yuan, let's still be able to make it up. After all, your life is at stake, that Li Yan is even a ghost, and he still comes to pester you, it's really not a good thing. ”
I waved my hand, "Okay, don't mention her." Is the incense altar master you are talking about really reliable? ”
Pumpkin patted his chest and said, "Absolutely reliable, I have seen that incense altar master cast spells on the street before, and it is very good." Ghost hunting should be a piece of cake for him! When the time comes, you can ask him to tell you fortunes, and he will also be a must. ”
Although Pumpkin swears by it, I still don't think it's reliable in my heart.
But now there is no other way but to be a dead horse as a live horse doctor.
If that incense altar master can really save me, then I'll be thankful.
Willing to spend as much as you want!
"Then when are we going to meet with that incense altar master??"
The pumpkin said, "It's set!" ... At five o'clock in the afternoon, meet at the Xiaowang Temple in the north of the city. ”
This day quickly passed.
The dark spots on my body had spread all over my chest, and a little bit on my arms. My heart still hurts from time to time, but I endure it.
Strange to say, if the body is exposed to sunlight, the pain in the heart and mouth will be reduced a lot.
Also, the rate at which dark spots spread will be slowed down.
So almost all day, I was shirtless and exposed to the sun.
Thanks to the pumpkin, he ran around, helped me buy food to eat, and poured me water to drink. He is more serious than his mother, which makes me quite touched.
It was from this experience that I thought of Pumpkin as my own brother. True brothers.
Xiaowangmiao, in the north of the university town, is not too far from our university.
Pumpkin and I were in a taxi in less than an hour.
When we got there, it was exactly five o'clock in the afternoon.
But Xiaowang Temple, neither I nor Pumpkin have ever been here. The driver knew, and we inquired and learned that Xiaowang Temple was a dilapidated temple, and the incense had been abandoned for I don't know how many years.
When we took a taxi to Xiaowang Temple, the driver was also surprised.
After getting out of the car, we found a path up the hill according to the driver's instructions in the car.
There are steps on the road, but most of the steps are in tatters, and many places are leaking.
It is said to be going up the mountain, but in fact, Xiaowang Temple is located on top of a small mound.
The mound is not high, so it is naturally not a mountain.
The sun was already setting in the west, and a little red glow was pouring out.
There was a slight wind around the area, but it was quite cool.
Pumpkin exercises regularly, so it's not hard to walk up to it. It's hard for me, I'm thin and muscular. So going "up the hill" became a physical task for me.
"Brother Qin, I didn't say you, you have to strengthen your exercise in the future, otherwise with your small physique, you will find a girlfriend in the future, and it won't be a few rounds, and you will be in a thousand miles!"
I gave the pumpkin a blank look and said angrily, "Go and go, don't talk nonsense!" ... Whether the body is strong or not has little to do with that. Otherwise, in the future, we will compare and see if your wife can give birth, or my wife can give birth! ”
The pumpkin shook his head and said, "Don't compare!" ... You are my brother, and your wife is naturally better than my wife. In the future, maybe our two families will be able to get married......"
"Yes, that's a good idea. Then it was decided. ”
Pumpkin and I chatted first as we walked up.
Finally, half an hour later, we saw the Xiaowang Temple in front of us.
The temple is indeed dilapidated enough. It is said to be a temple, but how I look at it and think it is equivalent to a broken grass house, which is not at all different from ordinary temples. The roof was covered with tattered thatch and mud.
On the roof, a small tree grows up.
It's a force of nature.
The wall is earthen and the adobe on the southwest side has collapsed.
It's too rundown!
The dilapidated can be seen at a glance.
This place can also be a good person? I don't believe it in my heart.
When I looked closely, I really saw a great monk on a flat stone in front of Xiaowang Temple.
The monk was meditating on his knees, his eyes closed, his beads in his hands, and the words in his mouth.
He wears a yellow monk's robe and has a ring scar on the top of his head.
People look like they're forty or fifty years old, and they look very kind.
"Pumpkin, is that person the master of the incense altar??"
Pumpkin looked down my finger with a look of surprise: "Yes, yes, that's it!" He is the master of the incense altar. ”
Then, the pumpkin dragged me, and the two of us came to the front of Xiaowang Temple.
And together, walk in the direction of the incense altar master.
But before we could get to the great monk, the monk spoke: "Amitabha, two donors, you are here!" ”
The incense altar monk spoke with his back to us.
The pumpkin hurriedly folded her hands and put on a very pious appearance.
I also have a look, and I follow along.
"Master, I'm Zhao Liangcai, the one who asked you for a fortune telling last time!"
Pumpkin said respectfully.
But the master of the incense altar didn't bird him at all, but asked directly: "Did you bring the people?" ”
The pumpkin pushed me and asked me to stand forward: "Master, my friend Qin Yuyang, I brought it to you." ”
"Hmm!"
The incense altar master nodded, indicating that he understood.
However, when I stood on the side of the incense altar master, I found that the incense altar monk did not close his eyes at all, but squinted. Moreover, in his left hand, he was holding the Buddha beads one by one, and he was clearly grasping something in his right hand.
I'll take a closer look at that thing...... It turned out to be a mobile phone.
Good guys, this incense altar master is chanting sutras and playing with his mobile phone.
It's really weird!
However, the more bizarre the person, the more profound it may be.
That's what I saw in the novel.
Maybe I saw him playing with his mobile phone, but Master Xiangtan didn't care at all, and slowly put the phone away. At the same time he stood up, stopped chanting, and his gaze passed over me and fell directly on the pumpkin.
"Incense money, did you bring it?"
It's really polite to ask for incense money when you come up.
Masters may be like this.
The pumpkin hurriedly said, "Brought, brought!" ...... In my Brother Qin! ”
Hurriedly, the pumpkin winked at me. I understood what he meant, so I handed over the two thousand dollars we had prepared to the incense altar master.
The master's eyes narrowed, and then they slowly widened.
Putting the money away, the incense altar master looked at the sky and said solemnly: "Okay, Master Qin, come with me." As for Zhao Shizhu, just wait outside the temple. ”
Pumpkin had a happy face and bowed her hand politely: "Thank you for your help, you are really a monk!" ”
The incense altar master didn't return the pumpkin, and walked straight towards the Xiaowang Temple.
The pumpkin craned her neck at me, motioning for me to follow.
I didn't dare to move, and honestly followed behind the master of this incense altar. He led me into the temple of the Little King. Originally, I thought that the Xiaowang Temple was dilapidated, and there was no place to live.
Unexpectedly, when I entered the Xiaowang Temple, after the incense altar master opened a door, an inner hall appeared.
It's just that the inner hall has no windows, and it's dark inside.
"You stand at the door first!"
The incense altar master explained.
I stood still.
In a short time, candles lit up in the inner hall.
The inner hall is lit up by candlelight.
The house was fairly tidy, with a small wooden bed covered with hay.
"Come in!"
The master of the incense altar called me.
I looked and cautiously walked inside.
The inner hall is not big, and as soon as I walked in, I saw a clay Buddha in the northwest corner. However, the mud Buddha has been damaged, and one arm is missing. In front of the mud Buddha, there are two red candles and a small incense burner.
There are three incense sticks burning in the incense burner, and the aroma is very good.
The master of the incense altar sat on the wooden bed, still cross-legged.
"Come and sit."
The incense altar master looked at me and said in a deep voice.
I walked over and looked and found a black wooden bench on the opposite side of the wooden bed. The slab of the wooden bench is round, but it has a series of cracks, and it looks like an antiquity.
The wooden bench was low, but I sat on it anyway.
On the other side, the master of the incense altar on the wooden bed is high, and my side is low, and I feel discriminated against.
However, now is not the time to think about these issues.
"Amitabha! ...... Qin Shizhu, what Zhao Shizhu said on the phone before, can it be true? ”
I hurriedly replied, "It's true! Absolutely true. ”
"Hmm!"
The incense altar monk nodded: "In that case, you take off your clothes first and let the poor monk take a look." Let's see if we can help you get through this catastrophe. ”
I'm a big man who takes off his coat, and it's nothing.
"Okay, I hope the master will help me!"
I bowed to the incense altar master and obediently took off my upper clothes.
The incense altar monk stared at my chest and looked at it.
After a while, he whispered the Buddha's name in his mouth and said, "...... Yes, this is the work of a ghost! ”
When I heard this, I was very excited.
Now that this incense altar master has seen the problem, maybe he can help me.
"Master, do you have a way to save me?"
I'm anxious.
The incense altar monk closed his eyes and thought about it, and after a few minutes, he opened his eyes and said with a deep face: "It's okay! Since you have given the poor monk incense money, the poor monk will help you get out of trouble. Please rest assured, Master Zhao, I will cast a spell on you later, and ensure that that the resentful ghost will not be entangled with you again. ”
"As for the dark spots on your body, the poor monk also has a way to restrain them. As long as you take my medicine, you will be cured in less than three days. ”
