Chapter 197: It's the fox that always shows its tail

The mountain breeze in the night was chilling, and the abbot had a cold war, how could tonight's events all be related to him.

"Huitong, the monks don't speak, you tell the truth, who asked you to come?" The abbot had a cold face, obviously someone wanted to use him as a swordman.

"I, I don't remember......" Huitong's anxious tears began to roll again, he has been following the rules since he entered the temple, and he has to avoid the ants when he sees them, but today he was humiliated in public like this, and he just wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into.

"Master Abbot, don't get angry first, let Little Master Huitong think about it again," the more Lu Mengjian thought about it, the more strange he felt, it was certain that there were people in this temple who were secretly eyeing him and trying to embarrass him, and he also pushed everything on the abbot, but it was really well-intentioned, Lu Mengjian thought about it like this, and already had the answer in his heart.

"Yes, master, now that the little master of Huitong is frightened, it is better to let him calm down a little, maybe he will remember." Murong Yanyan looked at the little monk who was trembling on the side, and felt a little distressed, no one could be calm when she encountered such a thing at such a young age.

Lu Mengjian looked at the delicate little face wrinkled up with fear and grievances, and his heart was very unhappy, if it weren't for her, maybe he would have been lying on the 'bed' and sleeping peacefully, but now he has become a chess piece in the hands of others.

"Abbot, it's windy here, and Master Huitong is thinly dressed, so it's better to find a shelter and talk again."

But Huitong was obviously afraid of the listening hall, and Lu Mengjian didn't want to go to the right place, so the four of them had their own thoughts and entered the abbot's house.

This is the first time that Lu Mengjian has entered the abbot's territory, but at this moment, because of Fang Cai's matter, she has no intention of hunting for curiosity.

"It's late at night, the donor will drink a glass of water and go to get rid of the turbidity in his heart." The abbot placed a bowl of water in front of each of them and sat cross-legged on the futon.

Huitong faced the abbot, always afraid and scared, and sitting on the futon at the moment was also frightened.

"Okay, Huitong, do you remember?" The abbot looked straight at Huitong, and he could see the answer from his face.

"I ...... Master, my disciple didn't sleep well last night, that's why he dozed off today, and I beg Master for forgiveness! Huitong's face turned pale with fright, his mind was blank, and he didn't know what he was talking about.

"Getting to the point!"

"The disciple knows that he is wrong, and the disciple will never dare to do it again," Huitong fell to the ground, not noticing what the abbot was saying.

"It's human nature to be sleepy, and it's good to know your mistakes. Then you say, who told you to go to the church and kneel? "The abbot's old face is blue, the monk in the temple is sleepy at noon, he has always turned a blind eye, and has never punished people, but I didn't expect that someone would dare to make a fuss about this, and he is really bold enough.

"The disciple hasn't seen that person before, it seems to be a newcomer," Huitong has been in the temple for a short time, and it is understandable that he can't recognize people clearly, but after staying in the temple for a while, he can always distinguish some familiar faces.

"In the three months of the temple except for the yellow dog, no one has entered the temple, where is the newcomer, think about it carefully, this is related to the reputation of this 'female' benefactor!" The abbot's voice gradually became stern.

Huitong shook his head again and again, the man was dressed as a monk, except for a piece of cloth on his head, he didn't see anything unusual at all, and he was too honest at the time to ask the person's name at all.

"I ask you, does the man have a cloth on his head?" Lu Mengjian suddenly spoke, she still felt strange at the time, but the man explained that because the mountain wind would cause migraines, he would wrap a cloth every time after dark to avoid the wind, but now that he thinks about it, judging from the person's demeanor and deeds, he doesn't look like a monk at all!

"How do you know?" Huitong asked rhetorically, this is all he can think of.

"Sure enough!" Lu Mengjian sighed helplessly, "Master Abbot, I think someone did it on purpose, because it was the same person who came to inform me tonight." ”

"Wrapped in a cloth on your head?" The abbot thought about it, but there is no one in the temple who is now leading the practice, and as for the monks, no one will wrap a cloth on their heads.

Huitong regretted that his intestines were green at the moment, he wanted to kneel in the listening hall for half the night tonight, and then be lazy to sleep, so when he arrived at the listening hall and saw that it was empty, he directly closed the 'door', but who knew that Lu Mengjian walked out of nowhere, if he hadn't closed the 'door', I'm afraid he wouldn't have made such a ridiculous thing.

"Huitong, since you can't find the person who told you to come to punish you for kneeling, you have nothing to do as a teacher. If you can't prove the innocence of the two of you, then the master will have to expel you from the mountain 'gate' in accordance with the temple rules. The abbot shook his head regretfully, on the one hand, he really regretted Huitong, and secondly, he wanted to intimidate him so that he could obediently show evidence, after all, if he really expelled the disciple from the mountain 'gate' because of this matter, it would not be good for the reputation of the temple.

Huitong was silent, and the whole person seemed to sink into a thick melancholy.

"Master Abbot, if you want to be punished, put all the blame on me, after all, when you go down the mountain, no one will know about it, but Master Huitong, if he goes down the mountain because of this, I am afraid that the Buddha's fate will be broken, and it is a chance to enter this 'door', and he can't ruin his life because of this little thing!" Lu Mengjian only felt a pity, and Huitong's face really made her ruthless, so she took all the blame on herself.

"Dream note, what are you talking nonsense, the reputation of a 'woman' is more important than 'sex' life, are you crazy!" Murong Yanyan reprimanded Lu Mengjian in a low voice, and she was even more suspicious about tonight's events.

"'Female' donor, the words of the third lady are not wrong, why should you ruin your reputation for the sake of irrelevant people! And there are many people in this world, maybe I don't know when, the news will spread out, so the 'female' donor can't be washed away even if she jumps into the Yellow River! The abbot shook his head repeatedly.

"Master, what should the disciple do to prove the disciple's innocence?" After listening to Lu Mengjian's words, Huitong was suddenly moved in his heart, obviously they were not wrong, but he was 'suffered' with such a grievance, and Lu Mengjian was willing to carry all the black pots for himself......

"As long as you can prove the innocence of the two of you, you can do it anyway!"

But Huitong fell silent again, his face full of speechless sadness.

"Forget it, master, Huitong is still young, he can't ruin his life because of this," Lu Mengjian opened her mouth to persuade, she is already a person who has lived for two lifetimes, and she can naturally see many things, but this little monk, all he has, is just to live a cautious life in the temple, if he no longer has this place to stay, where else can he go?

"No, I can prove it." Huitong suddenly stood up and began to untie his clothes without saying a word.

"Oh, what is this kid going to do!" Murong Yanyan exclaimed softly, covered Lu Mengjian's eyes with her hand, and the two turned their backs.

After a burst of sooting, the room was quiet as if no man's land.

"Alas......" the abbot sighed, "child, put it on." ”

"Were you born that way?" The abbot's voice became extremely soft, and Lu Mengjian couldn't help but turn around, and Huitong had already put on his clothes.

Huitong shook his head, his eyes were red, but he didn't let the tears flow out.

After a short silence, Lu Mengjian looked at the abbot and the little monk carefully, the expression between the two of them was like experiencing a roller coaster, the abbot's face was uncontrollable sadness, but the little monk's expression gradually calmed down.

"What's going on?" Lu Mengjian couldn't help but ask, but the abbot just shook his head, he couldn't say it, let alone say it.

The little monk suddenly laughed, tears accompanied by a smile, and fell to the ground with a bang.

"'Female' donor, please rest assured, I will definitely prove your innocence, please believe me, all good people in the world should be rewarded, and all the truth should be clarified." Huitong looked at Lu Mengjian seriously and seriously, and his immature face was full of determination.

Murong Yanyan looked at the abbot worriedly, but she didn't expect the abbot to nod affirmatively, "Third lady, please rest assured, we will definitely let the truth of the matter come to light." It's not early, you and this 'female' donor, please go back first, there are a lot of strange things in the temple today, please be careful on the road of the third lady. ”

"Godmother, what did you say that little monk did to make the abbot believe him so quickly?" As soon as Lu Mengjian arrived in the room, he couldn't help but ask.

"I don't know this, nor do I know what he showed the abbot...... Dream note, today's events, do you feel very strange, the same in the message is the abbot invited you to come, and when you arrive at the listening hall, you are so excited to be discovered, there are too many coincidences! Murong Yanyan had been thinking about this question when she was on the road, but she was afraid that the wall would have ears, so she held back until now before she had the opportunity to ask.

"Well, I also think it's too much of a coincidence, but it's more like it was artificially arranged, so I set a trap for me to jump in!"

"Have you offended someone?" Murong Yanyan hadn't seen her blush with others since she met Lu Mengjian, not to mention that it was the first time she came to the temple, so naturally it was impossible to offend others.

"Perhaps, it's a familiar stranger," Lu Mengjian said lightly and skillfully, without conclusive evidence, she didn't want to maliciously slander others, and if people refused to admit it, wouldn't it be unhappy, and even Murong Yanyan's face would not be saved.

"Hehe, there is someone who may hate you to the core, I think of one, but," Murong Yanyan was silent, she was not sure that person must be her, and she was pregnant at the moment, so she should not do such a thing that damaged the 'yin' morality.

"Godmother, don't think about it yet, wait for tomorrow's results, it's the fox that will always 'show' its tail, let's wait and see, in fact, I'm 'very' curious about Huitong, looking at the abbot's face, he seems to be overreacting!"
