Xiao Laodao cleared his throat and said to the monk below: "This master, what are you doing under the cliff when you don't sleep in the middle of the night?" ”

When the monk heard this, he suddenly stumbled, "I, I, I accidentally fell down." ”

Xiao Laodao teased and said: "Then you are a monk, don't stay in the temple, what are you doing in the middle of the night in this barren mountain and wilderness?" ”

After a pause, the monk replied in a trembling voice: "Didn't I say it, there was a landslide, our temple is gone, and the host took us to Xiangshan Temple to place a temporary stay, who knows...... The Xiangshan Temple was haunted, and I was so scared that I ran out in the middle of the night. ”

"Oh, that's the case...... Xiao Laodao asked again: "Is that ghost chasing you all the time, you panicked and fell down?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes."

Xiao Laodao suddenly showed a treacherous smile on his face, and said, "That...... You are not the only monk in the temple, why do ghosts chase you? ”

"This, this ......" The monk was silent, paused for a while, and the monk said in a bitter voice: "I, I don't know, maybe I look at my kind face and bully......"

"Oh, I think you're a bully." Xiao Laodao asked again: "Then did you shout for help just now because you heard movement on the cliff?" ”

"Yes, yes, I heard someone shouting on the cliff, so I shouted for help."

"Then you know...... What are we shouting? ”

"No, I don't know."

"Then I'll tell you." Xiao Laodao said: "Our brothers happened to pass by here and saw a naked female ghost, our brothers shouted and stopped her. ”

"Huh?" The monk let out an "ah" in surprise, looking a little flustered, "You, you caught her?" ”

"Yes." Xiao Laodao glanced at my grandfather slyly, and my grandfather was silent at this time, but he could hear that Xiao Laodao was gradually taking the monk's words, and Xiao Laodao said: "What about her, she told us something...... About you......"

"What?" Before Xiao Lao finished speaking, the monk seemed a little anxious, "You, don't listen to her nonsense, she's lying to you!" ”

Xiao Laodao suddenly smiled, glanced at my grandfather, lowered his voice and said to my grandfather: "How about my brother, I'll just say that there is something else here, he was in a hurry before I finished speaking." ”

Xiao Laodao rushed to the monk below and said: "If you want us to save you, you can honestly tell us, what grievances are there between you and the female ghost, make it clear, we have the right medicine, not only to save you, but also to resolve the grievances between you, in this way, the female ghost has no grievances, she can leave, if the female ghost's grievances are not resolved, even if we rescue you, she will continue to look for you." ”

After Xiao Laodao finished speaking, the monk was silent, and after a long pause, the monk hesitated and asked, "You guys...... Can you really get her away, she hasn't been pestering me for a day or two, otherwise I wouldn't be a monk. Xiao Laodao nodded, feeling that what the monk said was still like that, if he continued to lure down, he should be telling the truth.

Xiao Laodao swore and said: "Of course, you are a monk, I am a Taoist priest, and we monks don't talk nonsense." ”

"You're a Taoist?"

"It's like a fake!"

The monk immediately begged, as if grasping at a life-saving straw, "Dao Chief, help, for the sake of the monks, you can save me." ”

Xiao Laodao said: "It's easy to save you, as long as you tell the grievances between you and the female ghost, the poor Dao will first turn the female ghost into a ghost, and then save you, but you can't talk to me, if you tell a lie, the female ghost will not be angry, not only can I not save you, but the female ghost may also go down to find you." ”

"Huh? Dao Chief, you can't let her come down, I'll tell the truth, I'll tell the truth......" After the monk finished speaking, he fell silent again, as if he was pondering what to say.

After a while, the monk sighed for a long time, "Alas——, poor monk did a wrong thing more than ten years ago...... and then, the monk gushed out: "In those years, our family was poor, and we couldn't wear clothes or eat all day, and we had a big brother next door, and one day he came to me and said that there was an employer in the town who was looking for him to do something, and after this matter was done, we didn't have to worry about food and clothing, and I had a good relationship with the big brother next door, so I went with him, and the employer in the town gave us the time and place, He also gave us a knife each, it turned out that he wanted to tell the two of us to kill people......"

When the monk said this, my grandfather couldn't help but ask, "Is the location a temple called Sanshan Temple?" ”

"yes, that's it, you—how do you know?"

My grandfather was just about to answer, Xiao Laodao waved his hand, and Xiao Laodao said to the monk: "How could we not know, the female ghost just told us, you continue to talk about yours." ”

The monk paused for a while, and continued very unconfidently: "After we got there, there were no monks in the monastery, only a family of three, and we were going to kill that family of three...... A knife slashed him, hacked the man to death in front of the temple door, later, we found the woman in the temple, my eldest brother next door saw that the woman had a bit of a look, so he ruined the woman, and told me to go, I didn't dare, he forced me to kill the woman, I stabbed the woman twice, but she didn't die, my big brother next door stabbed her more than a dozen times, later, we looked for their child, but we couldn't find it, we were afraid of being discovered, so we left quickly. ”

"We went back to the town and got the money from the employer, and the eldest brother wanted to take me out of here, but I was very scared, so I didn't go with him, I stayed in the town, and from beginning to end, I didn't kill anyone, the big brother next door killed everyone......" At this point, the monk was silent.

After waiting for a while, Xiao Laodao asked loudly, "Finished?" ”

The monk hurriedly replied: "No, no, what I said, do you believe it?" I'm afraid it's different from what the female ghost said, and the two don't believe me. ”

Hearing the monk say this, my grandfather and Xiao Laodao glanced at each other, Xiao Laodao lowered his voice and said to my grandfather: "His words seem to be spying on us, I see that what he said, only half of it is true, if he really didn't kill people, the female ghost would not pester him!" ”

My grandfather nodded, and Xiao Laodao immediately said to the monk: "We believe in you, you continue." ”

When the monk heard Xiao Laodao say this, he seemed to be relieved, and then said, "Later...... The woman turned into a ghost, every night to our house to mess around, found some masters, but failed to restrain her, later, I heard that ghosts did not dare to enter the temple gate, I went to the ancient temple to become a monk, since I became a monk, the female ghost has never come to me, alas...... Who would have thought that this landslide, we had to leave the ancient temple, and the female ghost actually found me again, so scared that I ran out of the Xiangshan Temple in the middle of the night and accidentally fell here...... Two senior brothers, I have said everything that should be said, I beg you two, save me, I fell from it and was seriously injured, and I can't last long. ”

My grandfather and Xiao Laodao glanced at each other again, Xiao Laodao pondered for a moment, lowered his voice and said to my grandfather: "I have an idea now, even if what he said is all lies, let's rescue him and use him as bait to lure the female ghost out." ”

My grandfather nodded, "Good idea, I'll go back and get the rope now." ”

Xiao Laodao waved his hand, "It's too delaying to go back and get the rope now, when we came over just now, I saw rattan on the cliff over there, so it's better to cut a few and twist them into a rope and pull him up." ”

The two of them came to the other side of the cliff, and sure enough, there were many vines, lush, the thickest ones could be as thick as wrists, the master pulled out a short sword and cut a few, Xiao Laodao twisted them together and made a strong rope.

Back on the edge of the cliff, the two people threw the vine down, and the monk below grabbed the vine and said, "Two senior brothers, I am seriously injured and can't climb the cliff, the two senior brothers are tired, please pull me up." ”

Xiao Lao Dao said to the monk: "Then you tie the rattan to your waist, and we will pull you up." ”

The monk quickly tied the vine to his waist, grabbed the vine with both hands, and beckoned the master to pull up, and my master and Xiao Laodao grabbed the vine and pulled it up.

After a while, the monk was pulled to the edge of the cliff by two people, and when he was one step away, my grandfather looked at the monk, and this time he saw it clearly, it was the scar monk before, no wonder his voice was so familiar, my grandfather's faith moved, his brows frowned slightly, he grabbed the vine with one hand, and touched his waist with the other hand.

In an instant, the cold light flashed, the vine broke in two, and the scar monk screamed "ah", holding the broken vine and falling off the cliff again, this time, he was not so lucky, he failed to fall on the small platform, with a long exclamation, fell directly to the bottom of the dark cliff.

The sudden change made Xiao Laodao stunned, and when he came back to his senses, he asked loudly at my grandfather: "Brother Liu, what are you doing here!" ”

My grandfather glanced at Xiao Laodao, and said without changing his face: "I met him before, this monk is vicious and suspicious, and his heart is not right, and his words cannot be trusted. ”

Xiao Laodao smacked his mouth, "I know it's not credible, didn't I say it, use him as bait, why are you ......?"

"There's no need to keep this man." Without waiting for Xiao Laodao to finish speaking, my grandfather interrupted him and said: "I couldn't see who it was just now, I just felt that the voice was familiar, now I can see it clearly, I knew it was him, I definitely wouldn't agree to save him, if we really rescue him, I'm afraid I won't be able to do anything to him, and I will continue to suffer from it." ”

Xiao Laodao heard my grandfather say this, showing a helpless face, "Okay, okay, in fact, I also saw his appearance clearly just now, judging from his appearance, this monk has a fierce light in his eyes, the corners of his mouth are evil, he is not a good person, those words to us, nine times out of ten, he is lying to us, maybe he is the 'big brother next door', like this kind of person, if he dies, he will die, and it is good to die." ”
