Gao rebuked dissatisfiedly: "You monk is lazy, how can you take care of a good temple so dilapidated." ”

The monk said with a smile: "The lady doesn't know the inside story, there are many thieves and demons in this mountain, thieves go out to rob during the day, come to the temple to rest at night, the demons hide here during the day, go out to rob at night, they knock down the Buddha statue to vent their hatred, cut the offering table and burn the fire, make it look like a deserted temple and a wild temple to drive away pilgrims, and also make the officers and soldiers disdain to step into. The abbot and other monks died, and now I am the only one left to survive here, how dare they speak, boil some tea for them on weekdays, and get some food for food and clothing. ”

Gao Shi grabbed Xiao Yuan and paused, and asked sharply: "Since this place is so dangerous, why did you trick us in?" ”

The monk said: "The monks don't speak, there are thieves in front, and there are chasing soldiers in the back, only by following me can I save my life. He kept going.

"Let him be?" Gao asked in a low voice.

Xiao Yuan nodded, at this time, the wolf and the tiger could only make a desperate bet.

Follow him through the atrium to the end of the east corridor, enter the Garan Hall, where the clean-up is clean, the Bodhisattva is dressed in colorful clothes and sits steadily, the table burns a furnace of incense, three or five plates of melons and fruits offerings, and a large sea lantern is lit, although it is unknown, it is not dark.

The monk asked them to sit, brought tea and water to serve, and instructed: "The hour is very different, those bandits and pursuers are afraid that they have entered the temple gate, I will go to make a fire for them, and if you hear a noise, lift the board under the offering table, and go inside to avoid your life, and then leave until dawn." After explaining, he picked up the sea lantern path and left.

"What do you think is going to do?" Gao asked in the dark.

"What comes is safe." Xiao Yuan walked to the door gap to look outside, but saw: the clouds were gloomy and covered the stars and the moon, the cool dust was scattered, the Bodhi tree sprinkled Bodhi seeds, the bird's nest was difficult to find birds, the family did not know the way back, the north and the south were lonely, the heavens and the earth were lost, the three halls were difficult to walk, and the Shifang Courtyard was isolated. She watched for a long time, but she never saw the lights moving, and looked back at Gao's eyes and dozing off with her cheeks closed, like a chicken pecking little by little.

She was about to get the robe left by the monk to put on her, when she suddenly heard the faint sound of boots stepping on, not in a hurry to think about it, Gao Shicha also opened his eyes in shock, and the two hurriedly got under the offering table, lifted the board and jumped in, leaving a crack to peek.

Suddenly, the door was pushed open and closed, staggered in, only saw the cowhide boots on his feet, although it was worn out and smooth, Xiao Yuan knew that this was a pair of combat boots worn by generals, he was injured, blood droplets fell to the ground, and heard a "hiss" sound, squatted down to wipe off the blood with a cloth, and walked to the left, soon there was no sound, it should be looking for a place to hide.

After a while, I heard the door being kicked open again, a pair of lanterns came in first, and then two officials, with black shoes and crimson robes, were the ministers above the rank of three grades, and there were generals standing behind, about dozens of people, densely packed with legs, and an official shouted in a low voice: "Search for me!" Another official said: "He has been poisoned with arrows, and his life is short, why do you need to mobilize the people like this." The official said: "The words are so, but you have to see people in life, and you have to see corpses in death, and go back to remember your merits and receive rewards." The other officer didn't speak again, the soldiers scattered, and the two officials sat down at the table, and one said, "I'm thirsty, ready tea." One said: "You are not afraid of dying if you drink!" One smiled and said, "I have told my fortune, and I can live for ten years." One laughed and said, "Then drink!" The two joked and joked, and after a while, a soldier hurriedly came to report: "I have met dozens of bandits in the Daxiong Palace, and they have been killed in front." ”

The two officials didn't care about eating tea anymore, so they got up and went out together.

To find out what's next, listen to the next breakdown.
