Chapter 55

The night was deep, the weeds were green, the wind was rising, whistling, the six gods of the river were ownerless, trembling, hidden in the artemisia grass, not daring to move, by the night, through the cracks in the artemisia grass, he saw three robbers jumping out of the hole in the wall, they were holding bright waist knives in their hands, wrapped their heads with green cloth, and their faces were covered with masks, but two holes were dug in their eyes, and even in broad daylight they could not see their true faces.

When the three robbers had gathered outside the wall, they looked at each other, and then whispered to each other; "What if that guy hides in the artemisia grass, but it's hard to find?"

Obviously, the three fellows were discussing how to find the river, and at this time, they listened to the robber who led them; "The three of us are separated, I am in the middle, and the two of you are on either side of me, and we will go into the artemisia grass separately to look for it, and I don't believe it, where can he run to a stranger in the dark light."

After speaking, the robber led by the hand waved the waist knife, the first into the artemisia grass, he entered the place less than ten zhang away from the river, just diagonally facing the river, the river was just about to close his eyes and prepare to die, but unexpectedly, just before the river had not closed his frightened eyes, he was watching the robber with the waist knife in his hand to separate the artemisia grass, step by step like his own approach, suddenly heard a "mother" sound, Jiang Liu was startled, Then he saw that the robber who had killed and oversold the goods fell into the grass with a bang less than a few feet away from him.

Jiang Liu, who was about to wait for death, suddenly came to his curiosity, and he didn't even dare to breathe, so he opened his eyes wide and looked at the place where the robber in front of him fell, and at this time, he heard a robber on his left shouting loudly; "Big brother, why are you calling?"

The robber who had fallen did not answer, but the robber on the right side of the river replied; "Oh no, let's see how the big brother is?"

Jiang Liu hid in the artemisia grass and dared to gasp for air, just squatting there motionless, at this moment, he saw a figure in front of him shaking, click, click, trampled a lot of artemisia grass, obviously the robber who spoke came over, Jiang Liu saw that the guy came to the side of the fallen robber, leaned down, and wanted to help the fallen robber up, but he didn't know, at the moment he stretched out his hand, he suddenly saw a black shadow, and bit his arm hard, he only felt a numbness in his arm, and then, turning his head and saying something to another robber who was about to walk up to him; "Brother, no, I seem to have been bitten by something."

After saying this, he also twisted and fell on the robber, and the remaining robber ran over with a cry; "Big brother, second brother, what are you doing?"

Whirring, who is responding, it seems to be the wind, the wind is blowing more violently than just now, the artemisia grass around the river is undulating and tumbling like a wave, the sky is blue, and the shadow of the artemisia grass can be seen vaguely, the remaining robber walked and stopped for a while, cautiously, extremely cautious, and finally came to the two accomplices who fell in the artemisia grass, and by the faint morning light he first turned the guy lying on the other robber, and at this moment, the robber was frightened and screamed, Let go of the robber who has lost his breath, spread his legs and run.

It turned out that he saw an extremely terrifying scene, the robber who was reversed by him had a black face, and black blood flowed from his eyes, mouth, and nose, and this was not counting, he saw the dead robber grinning with his teeth and an extremely strange look on his face, so the robber who was still alive was so frightened that he let go and ran away, he didn't dare to look at another dead robber, and after a while, the robber who was still alive ran away without a trace.

Jiang Liu only heard the frightened cry of the robber, but he didn't see the terrifying expressions of the two dead people, besides, he dared to go there, seeing that the robber ran away without a trace, Jiang Liu secretly thought that he would not leave at this time, but when, so he first stood up from the grass, looked around, and after making sure that there was no one, he also raised his legs and ran towards the ruined temple.

Jiang Liu ran out of the grass, and soon came to the hole in the wall, and bent down to get in, and at this time the sky was already bright, Jiang Liu had just entered the room, and saw that in the corner of the room, there was a pile of straw, and there seemed to be a person lying in the straw, which made Jiang Liu a little puzzled, he just wondered if it should be the robber who escaped, and saw the person lying on the pile of straw move, and then sighed, raised his hands and stretched out a long waist, and then muttered; "I have to be idle in the middle of the night."

When was there a pile of straw in the house, why did anyone sleep on the straw, and why didn't I see it last night? Jiang Liu was puzzled, Jiang Liu was puzzled, Jiang Liu was strange, fortunately, he really heard the voice, so Jiang Liu, who was still in great fright, couldn't help himself, stopped, and looked closely, he found that the straw pile was lying on a bare head, with nine ring scars on his bright head, a gray, tattered monk's robe, wrapped around his thin figure, but his face could not be seen clearly.

Jiang Liu wondered, after wondering was curious, he stood there stunned and looked at the little monk on the straw pile, at this time, he saw that the monk stretched his waist, and suddenly stood up from the straw pile, this time, Jiang Liu saw clearly, the monk in front of him was only as tall as a child, wearing a wide monk robe with many holes, his face was ruddy, with an innocent baby face, a pair of slender eyes, and his face was extraordinarily wide. And his chin has a long silver-gray beard, seeing the appearance of the little monk, Jiang Liu can't help but think, not to mention, this little monk seems to have some kind eyebrows, but it is also good enough.

Jiang Liu saw that the height in front of him was like a child, but the face was a monk with a long beard and a childish face, and he was speechless for a while, he was a person who reads, and he was very humble in dealing with people, at this moment he wanted to come forward to hear the news, but he didn't know how to call it, if he turned around and left, he felt very rude, besides, he was obviously chased and killed by robbers here, and there were two dead robbers among the artemisia grass behind, and he couldn't make up his mind for a while whether to go to report to the official, or leave, no way, Jiang Liu had to stand there, Mu Nene, stunned.

Jiang Liu was still hesitating, but the number of etiquette was not dropped, after being stunned, he clasped his fists with both hands, and first gave the little monk a salute, but saw that the little monk did not look at him at all, but stared at the broken ceiling in the room and muttered, however, because the little monk's muttering voice was too small, Jiang Liu did not hear clearly.

It was the strange behavior of the little monk that aroused Jiang Liu's curiosity, he temporarily lost the thing that he had just almost lost his life, and secretly thought, it was really a strange monk, I don't know if he was a monk in this temple, or a monk who traveled here from other places, and I don't know if he spent the night here last night or just came here, and most importantly, he didn't see the danger of being chased and killed last night, in order to figure out this, Jiang Liu decided to ask this little monk first.

After Jiang Liu made a salute, he spoke; "Little master, the poor student is so polite, dare to ask the master, what is this temple called, why is this place so desolate?"

As if he hadn't heard, the little monk still looked at the roof of the shed, and didn't pay attention to Jiang Liu at all, Jiang Liu had to raise his voice and ask again; "Dare to ask the master, where is this?"

After Jiang Liu asked this sentence, he immediately stared at the little monk, wanting to see if he could take care of himself, the monk was still looking at the roof of the shed, as if gold could fall there, Jiang Liu was upset for a while, and just wanted to say that the monk family is compassionate, and he has seen a monk like the master there, and the person in distress wants to ask a word.

As soon as Jiang Liu's idea came to him, he saw the monk who was always looking at the roof of the shed muttered; "Damn the river, disturbed my good dreams, I didn't settle accounts with you, but you became impatient, it's really unreasonable!"

Jiang Liu was surprised for a moment when he heard that the monk had finally spoken, and that he had said his name, and saw him step forward, salute again, and then bow his head and ask; "How does the master know the name of the poor student, and dare to ask us if we are old friends or gods?"

Unexpectedly, as soon as Jiang Liu's question came out, the monk said impatiently; "You idiot, stupid, disturbed my old man's Qingqiu dream, but you don't stop talking, if you want to be long-winded, you will accompany me to dream."

Seeing that the monk in front of him not only did not answer his inquiry, but also messed around with him, Jiang Liu was also a little uncontrollable, because he still had life-and-death matters to do, so he said; "The poor student was chased and killed by robbers last night, and he got out of the hole in the back wall, hid in the artemisia grass behind, and picked up a life, but he never saw the master staying here, so, somehow, it will provoke the master to make the poor student pay for his dream, and I don't know how to compensate for your dream."

"Long-winded, idiot, it's really annoying to have my old man hand over everything to you." The monk finally stopped looking at the roof of the shed, but stared at Jiang Liu and said this.

Hearing the monk's accusation for no reason, Jiang Liu hurriedly accompanied him and said with a smile; "The poor student is really stupid, yesterday I was robbed of my coil and clothes by robbers, and my life was almost lost.

After listening to Jiang Liu's words, the monk's appearance became more and more angry, and he suddenly pointed at Jiang Liu and said; "You idiot, go to the back of the house and find those two corpses, then take their pockets, and then throw them into the river, and this will be a loss for my spring and autumn dreams."
