Chapter 87: Huigen's "Ghost" (with revisions)

odd

Jing Wan'er saw that at the gate of the courtyard, there was only a little monk who was napping. There was not a single figure around.

Since it has been decided, then evil will be born on the side of the guts. She approached slowly, there was no wind in the night, quieter than usual, and she could hear the monk's snoring.

It seems that no matter how much you pay attention to the four emptiness, you are not mortals, and you have to eat and sleep like mortals.

The tense muscles immediately relaxed, and Jing Wan'er didn't laugh at this little monk in her heart, which saved her trouble, and she didn't even need the smoke she prepared.

Carefully push open the courtyard door and dodge inside.

It seems that there is only one monk guarding here...

Jing Wan'er wanted to make a quick decision, pulled out the hairpin in her hair, and walked quickly in the direction of the door.

How strong the door lock used by the monk can be, tonight it was the idea of prying open the door.

When she was still two steps away from the door, Jing Wan'er had already hurriedly glanced at the lock on the door by the moonlight, it seemed that the lock was open?

Before she had time to take a closer look, her feet seemed to kick something, and Jing Wan'er couldn't help but snort softly when she fell.

Fortunately, she reacted quickly and quickly covered her mouth.

But when it was too late, she saw a monk standing there in the grass.

Jing Wan'er's first reaction was bad, it was not good to be so a teacher, but the monk was motionless for a long time, which made Jing Wan'er a little strange.

So she didn't dare to speak first, although she made a disguise, but as soon as she spoke, she was exposed.

After a stalemate like this for a long time, Jing Wan'er saw that the monk finally moved, "Who are you?!" ”

The monk's voice was very soft, and there was a hint of obvious trilling.

The strangeness in Jing Wan'er's heart deepened, and after seeing that the monk asked, she stopped talking. After thinking about it, she simply let it go, deliberately pinched her throat, and replied in a rough voice: "Hello, senior brother." ”

The monk's body shook.

After a while, "he" said in a trembling voice again: "This place has been designated as a forbidden place, and no one is allowed to break in without the abbot's order..."

Jing Wan'er is a thief, and no matter how soft her voice is, she is a little unconfident. She rolled her eyes, maybe because she was caught, she couldn't make up any reason for a while.

"Thank you for the mention, I'm lost." Jing Wan'er's face was not red, and she threw out this eternal and universal reason.

The monk seemed to be stunned for a moment, and could see that "his" figure was also uncomfortably stiff in the moon shadow.

Jing Wan'er was a little strange, she didn't think that she was just a reason in her head, and she would bluff this little monk for a long time.

Jing Wan'er stared at the monk, although the moonlight was dim, and even the appearance was just a silhouette, but there was a funny thing, that is, the top of the monk's bare head, under the moon, was actually a little reflective like a mirror.

In normal times, Jing Wan'er might laugh.

It seems that this man is indeed a monk guarding here.

Thirty-six plans to go, Jing Wan'er decisively turned around and walked a few steps towards the courtyard gate, and then looked back at the monk, who was still standing there, only to feel that the monk's eyebrows and eyes were extremely delicate.

Jing Wan'er returned in vain, and when she saw that the lights in Pei Tan's house had been extinguished, she vaguely felt a little sorry for Pei Tan in her heart.

At this time, it was the second half of the night, so I had to open the door and enter the house, staring at the bed for a long time.

But obviously Jing Wan'er has no energy, and she has used up the toss in the past few days, and she is already very tired at this time, she sighed in her heart and dragged her heavy eyelids to the bed to sleep.

Taking off this uncomfortable skin, Jing Wan'er let go of her hand and threw it into the brazier to burn, the flames devoured it, after tonight, she knew very well that there would be no more chances, and there was no need to risk this clue.

——

Because she slept so deeply, the morning bell in her ears rang very loudly for a long time, but Jing Wan'er really didn't want to get up, she was helpless, but she still managed to open her eyes.

Because the light outside was already very dazzling, I couldn't sleep well.

Jing Wan'er immediately walked out and found that Pei Tan was already eating fast in the courtyard, and there were Pei guards who were always loyal to their duties.

After walking out, Jing Wan'er felt that Pei Guard's gaze was staring at her back, which was colder than before.

Could it be that he found out about the sneaking last night?

Jing Wan'er glanced at him carefully, she wanted to be calm, but the more she touched Pei Guard's cold eyes, the more difficult it was to calm down.

Pei Tan didn't speak, and the courtyard was so eerily quiet for a while.

"In addition to the monks who sweep the hall every day, there are usually little masters who practice?" Pei Tan asked a white monk who was pouring tea beside him.

The monk owed slightly: "Except for the annual sacrifice day and the fasting day stipulated by the Holy Lord, we usually don't go to the Daxiong Treasure Hall, and the monks only practice in the side hall. ”

Pei Tan said softly.

Jing Wan'er seemed to understand that this was Pei Tan's desire to exclude people who could approach the Daxiong Treasure Palace, that is... Someone who may have come into contact with the Alocasia flower. However, it is still very early before the fasting day, and it is obvious that none of the monks of Qinglong Temple have approached the main hall.

Jing Wan'er used the food with a strange gaze, and felt that her weak limbs were a little fuller.

"Your Excellency, today is the third day." Jing Wan'er met Pei Tan's gaze, "Shouldn't there be a letter in the palace?" ”

This is about the longest three days in Dali Temple, and there are no clues to be found, and there is still no evidence.

"You expect a letter?" Pei Tan glanced at her.

Jing Wan'er remembered last night's defeat, and was very embarrassed and silent.

Looking at her reaction, Pei Tan also knew. Last night, he listened to Jing Wan'er's footsteps in the house, but he didn't pierce her.

Pei Tan said for a moment: "Everything we can do has been done, let's wait and see." ”

As a result, Pei Tan is this kind of character, although since he appeared in Dali Temple, all kinds of whispers about him have not stopped. But he has always done his own thing, and he is not afraid of rumors.

Jing Wan'er glanced at him, and there was a vague feeling of discomfort in her heart.

used the morning fast, but it was the time of the morning class in Qinglong Temple, and the monk who had stayed in the courtyard also hurriedly put down the broom in his hand and cleaned up his clothes. Looking at the monks who were hurrying outside the courtyard, they kept walking past the courtyard gate.

Jing Wan'er suddenly had a question...

She stopped a little monk who was about to leave: "Little Master, where did so many monks in Qinglong Temple come from?" ”

The temple of the protector of the country is full of incense, and there are more monks than other temples, and the status is much higher than that of ordinary monks.

The little monk glanced at her: "There will be two temples in the temple every year to accept disciples, and there will be severe tests, and only those who pass can become official disciples." "It is conceivable that the prestige of the temple is prestigious, and the monks who go up the mountain every year must gather.

Jing Wan'er heard that something was wrong, and her face changed: "You mean that recently, you haven't recruited any new little monks?" ”

The little monk said calmly with a pair of eyebrows: "The girl said that she laughed, the last time the temple accepted disciples will not start until March of the following year, how can there be new people recently." ”

Jing Wan'er stared at this little monk, who had lived in a place like that in the palace for five years, and even the lowest eunuch in the palace was a master of disguise.

As Jing Wan'er, she can naturally easily see through these disguises.

Seeing that Jing Wan'er didn't ask any more, the little monk immediately tidied up his clothes and left the courtyard.

Jing Wan'er lowered her eyes slowly, or she thought she could do it, but from the first day she arrived at the Qinglong Temple, she found that she was all wrong.

Every word these monks said was completely opposite to what she saw, how could it be. Just like the little monk who answered just now, there was no hint of deception on his face, and anything showed that he was telling the truth.

These are monks, not plays.

Jing Wan'er actually felt that her proud ability to recognize people was a little abused.

If a monk is talking, it is possible that he is lying, but she deliberately divided it for a few days, and these monks who were randomly tempted did not fall into her trap. There are hundreds of monks in the entire Qinglong Temple, these people have different identities and responsibilities, Jing Wan'er felt shuddered, could it be that the entire Qinglong Temple is telling a big lie?

Suddenly, I heard footsteps behind me again, and subconsciously thought that it was exactly the same encounter last night, Jing Wan'er suddenly turned around!

Her terrifying gaze was just colliding with Pei Tan.

Pei Tan paused.

He stared at the girl's pale face, as if he had been frightened since yesterday, "What's wrong with you?" ”

The surprise on Jing Wan'er's face seemed to have retreated slightly, but she didn't know what to say.

Pei Tan looked at her, since she came to Qinglong Temple, Jing Wan'er was more prone to mood swings than usual, and what touched her just now.

"Yesterday, what did you find?" Pei Tan asked.

If Pei Tan had asked this sentence just now, Jing Wan'er would naturally have said that she had not found anything, and she had not even been able to enter that room, so she was blocked.

But now, Jing Wan'er only felt that she was being grabbed by a strange feeling.

"Yesterday I was outside the attic and met a monk, so far away that I could only see his clothes." Because the clothes are monk's robes, I have a preconceived idea that I am a monk.

In other words, who is the person wearing a monk's robe in Qinglong Temple, who is not a monk?

Pei Tan stared at Jing Wan'er's appearance and couldn't help frowning..."And then? ”

Then, Jing Wan'er didn't know what to say.
