"Then what do you want, don't be so stingy, just kidding." I threw the cigarette to Li Damin.

We came to the outside balcony and it was the smoking area. Li Damin and I smoked cigarettes and feasted.

Li Damin said: "You owe me an apology." ”

"Damn," I said, "don't go too far." Okay, I'm sorry, okay. ”

Li Damin said: "This is not good, it is too perfunctory, and there must be practical actions." ”

I looked at him, "If you have any ideas, just say, don't do tai chi." ”

Li Damin laughed and patted me on the shoulder: "Lao Lin, I remember you said that there is an Arhat Hall in the Temple of Mercy. ”

I squinted at him, took a puff of smoke rings, and nodded yes.

"That cat spirit is sealed in the Luohan Hall, isn't it?" Li Damin said.

A wicked smile crossed my face, "You're interested?" ”

"Hmm." Li Damin said: "As soon as you say this, I immediately reacted, that morning, why did Monk Yuantong tell you the location of the Luohan Hall when he was sweeping the floor." ”

"He's hinting that I can go, but he can't say it explicitly." I puffed out the smoke.

"Yo, yes, you're smart." Li Damin laughed.

"This Yuantong was hiding too many secrets, and he wanted to communicate with the cat spirit very much, but was stopped by Elder Keats at the time." I say.

"So, the monk wants to borrow your hand to steal the cat spirit from the Luohan Hall." Li Damin said.

I nodded, in fact, I had already figured out the question. Since escaping underwater death, my head seems to have a little lighter, and I can see through the essence of some things.

"This cat spirit claims to know the great secrets of the underworld. To be honest, it's not just Yuantong, I want to know too. I said.

Li Damin said: "Your task is complete, my task is also completed, there are still a few days left in the period of one week, otherwise we will go to the Temple of Mercy for a stroll?" ”

"What's the plan?" I asked.

Li Damin shrugged: "There is no plan, act at the opportunity, there is only one goal, rescue the cat spirit!" ”

I gasped, "What if I steal it?" Neither of us is a Taoist person, so we can't cure it at all. It's okay if it runs away, but once it's on you and me, it's in trouble. ”

Li Damin thought for a while: "Then you have to try, you can ask YTO for help when it is critical." This monk has a ghostly heart, I'm afraid he has been thinking about this cat for a long time. ”

"You're not afraid he'll recognize you?" I asked.

Li Damin and Yuantong once met in the realm of the bardo, they were both exploration teams at that time, and Li Damin was still the captain of Yuantong, which is also a relationship.

"I don't think it's a big problem, perhaps," Li Damin said, "that YTO can become an ally between the two of us." This matter has to be done early and late, so it is better to do it now when the opportunity comes, even if the result is not ideal, we also know the measure. ”

I have to say that Li Damin, I hesitated at the critical moment, he can explain the key in one word, and let you do it convincingly.

The two of us saw that it was still early, and we came out of the building. I went to the parking lot to get Li Damin's car, drove out of the city, and went all the way to the Temple of Mercy.

On the way, Li Damin bought two cheap backpacks, one for him and one for me, so that it was convenient to put things.

Today's weather is very good, and there are many tourists who come to visit the Temple of Compassion, and you can see the ethereal aroma in the temple courtyard from a distance, and you can hear the sound of bells and drums. We parked the car and followed the pedestrians inside, and when we inquired, we found out that there would be a puja for three consecutive days starting tomorrow. Believers from this city, from this province and even from all over the country have come one after another.

In addition to good men and women, there are many tourists, our Jiangbei City is close to the Yangtze River, belongs to the Sanwu City since ancient times, a spring, summer and autumn three seasons, tourists across the country are old noses.

Li Damin and I followed the crowd into the temple.

I have been to the Temple of Mercy, and the general direction and direction of the building are very clear. I took Li Damin to find Luohan Hall, but he stopped me and said that I wouldn't go in during the day, so don't worry. It is better to come to peace, worship the Buddha in the mountain and meet the temple, this is the realm.

Li Damin bought thousands of yuan of incense in one go, and I was dumbfounded, asking if he had the money to burn it.

Li Damin smiled: "If you want to go into the temple at night to steal things, you have to worship all the gods and Buddhas in advance." You go to the supermarket to buy something, and you can take it and leave without paying? ”

His mouth is full of false reasoning, and I can't refute it.

I also bought two or three hundred incense sticks, worshiped with many people, and put incense in the incense burner.

After worshipping and worshipping, we ate at noon in the temple cafeteria, although it was all vegetarian, it was light and delicious.

After eating, the two of us started wandering. Li Damin put his hands behind his back, really like a tourist from out of town, going around and around, as long as he can go to the place where he can go, even the back mountain has gone around. I just took this opportunity to turn around the inside and outside of the Temple of Mercy.

When we came out after a few turns, it was almost dusk, the tourists were almost gone, and there were still many people in the temple, in addition to the monks and laymen, as well as the pilgrims who stayed here, and there would be no need to go back and forth for tomorrow's puja.

Based on the direction that Yuantong told me, as well as the results of the day's survey, I quickly located the Manjushri Treasure Hall. I walked a hundred meters to the southwest of the treasure hall and saw a courtyard. Red walls and yellow tiles, with two moon doors closed at the door, with locks on them. There is a warning sign at the door that reads "Visitors Stop".

There is no one to guard, and tourists are very conscious, and they will automatically avoid it when they walk here.

Li Damin and I glanced at each other, this should be the Luohan Hall. It's still early, wait a minute, don't rush.

The two of us went to the cafeteria for dinner, chatted for a while, and cut down the mountains with the shopkeeper for a while, and the sky was already dark.

Coming out of the cafeteria, I made a big circle and returned to the Luohan Hall. It's quiet, there's not a single figure.

I wanted to go in, but Li Damin pulled me to signal that there was no hurry, and we hid in the corner and waited for about ten minutes, and saw several pairs of monks walking by with flashlights.

Li Damin shouted softly, "Up!" ”

The two of us came to the courtyard along the outer wall, the courtyard wall is not high, less than two meters, and it is paved with glazed yellow tiles, which belongs to a typical anti-gentleman and not anti-villain. Who would have thought that there were two fanatics who broke into Shaolin Luohan Hall in the middle of the night.

I'm so excited, those heroes in martial arts, I guess that's it.

Li Damin stepped on my shoulders and climbed up first, then stretched out his hand and dragged me up. There was a sound when the tiles were stepped on, and Li Damin made a gesture and shouted "lie down" in a low voice.

As soon as we hid, we saw a monk coming, they were not suspicious, but subconsciously swept around with a flashlight, and no one thought of illuminating the roof.

When everyone walked by, Li Damin and I cautiously stepped on the roof tiles and trotted forward, looking for a place that was not too high, Li Damin was not in a hurry to jump in, and put his hand on the pergola to observe.

The Luohan Hall is divided into three courtyards, with corridors and meditation rooms on all sides, and there is no light at all at the moment.

Li Damin held on to the glazed tiles and jumped down, he sighed, fell and rolled, limped up, and beckoned to me.

I took a deep breath and jumped down, Li Damin was quite considerate, and took a handful below, so as not to fall too hard. We both lay on the ground. I got up, both hands worn out, and hissed for air, "This thief is really not easy to be." ”

It doesn't matter if you come in, Li Damin slowed down his demeanor and motioned to go inside.

We went down the corridor to the deepest courtyard, passed the first courtyard, and entered the second courtyard, which was really dark and cold, I don't know if it was a psychological effect.

I said, "The yin qi is a bit heavy." ”

Li Damin looked around. We are afraid that the flashlight will be discovered, as long as the vision is still clear, try not to use lighting tools.

"Why don't I try it with a psychic bracelet?" I say.

Li Damin waved his hand: "Don't be in a hurry first." The big move is left for the last, if you really can't find the cat spirit, it's not too late to move your bracelet. ”

We crossed the second large courtyard and came to the last compound, and as soon as we entered, we felt the temperature plummet, and goosebumps all over our bodies. There is no wind, it is biting cold, which makes people shiver all over.

Li Damin sighed: "The yin qi is so heavy. ”

Directly opposite the courtyard was a dark and dreary hall, with no locked doors, no light, and it looked like an abyss.

Li Damin and I glanced at each other and walked through the courtyard to the entrance of the hall. As soon as I walked here, I felt a cold wind blowing out, which was really cold and bone-sharpening, and the cold air invaded the body.

Li Damin took out a flashlight from his bag and handed me one. We stood in the doorway and turned on the flashlight and shone it in.

As soon as the light entered, it actually illuminated a huge stone monument first. The monument was in the doorway, less than ten paces away from us, which meant that if you wanted to enter the main hall, you had to go around it.

The two spots of light of the flashlight fell on the surface of the stele, and you could see that the bright red text was engraved with a large number of scriptures, and the strokes were twisted and turned, which was definitely not Chinese characters.

"It's Sanskrit." Li Damin said.

"What is written?" My heart was pounding and I felt a little horrified.

Li Damin said: "I don't know, since it is a place to seal demons, it is estimated that this scripture is used to suppress demons or subdue demons." ”

He stepped up to the threshold.

Somehow, I felt a little dizzy and deprived of oxygen. Li Damin went in.

Now that the arrow is ready to be fired, I have to bite the bullet and follow in.
