"How long it took to wake up, I don't know, from that night onwards, I was completely unconscious of time."

"It's a long time to be in the dark. When I fully woke up, I found myself in an eerie, dark room. There was a deathly silence in the dark room, there was no sound at all, I could even hear my own breathing and my heart beating. ”

"Isn't it really in the dark room?"

"No, he's gone, I want to move my body, but I can't move."

"Why?"

"He tied me to the couch. I wanted to die, but I wasn't reconciled. Thinking of the girls who disappeared mysteriously before me, I had the idea of living, but somehow, I was not so afraid. ”

"Later, I heard a voice from the next room, and it was Shang Wenjun who was talking to me, and after communication, I learned that she was the Qing Shui who left Mingchen Nunnery mentioned by Leng Yue and other masters, and at this time, I was even more afraid."

"That's what I thought at the time, I was trapped in such a dark place, and I had to wait for death, and I thought I was dead. Even if it's hopeless, I'm going to do what I'm supposed to do. ”

Lian Luo Dan paused for a moment, and then said: "There are so many young nuns missing in Mingchen Nunnery - there will definitely be nuns who will suffer this disaster in the future, this matter can't just be over, I hid the blue notebook and pen under the bedding board, just to leave a little valuable clue in case something happens, as long as you carefully inspect the meditation room in the West Zen Temple, you will definitely find the notebook and pen." ”

Although Lian Luodan is a girl who is kind and weak by nature, she is also an assertive, confident, and meticulous girl. It was this character that saved her.

Lian Luodan continued: "Since my mother knew that I had come to Mingchen Nunnery to become a monk, she often went to Mingchen Nunnery to visit me - in fact, I have a deep relationship with my mother, if it weren't for such a thing, life is a little harder, life is more difficult, I won't leave my mother - I can't bear her." ”

"But the old brute broke into our lives, and he ruined my future and my life—how many times I struggled before I chose to become a monk. My mother knew that I was in great pain after I became a monk, so she came to Mingchen Nunnery and asked me what I was for, and if I could tell her? ”

"Before I was shaving, I also had the idea of going down the mountain with my mother - I thought my mother was so pitiful, when I was very young, my father was persecuted for political reasons, and finally chose to commit suicide. The children at the door all looked at me coldly, and at school, my classmates didn't play with me, I was very lonely, very lonely, and I often cried when I came home. ”

"My mother married the old beast for me, the old beast bullied me, I also wanted to tell my mother, but I was afraid that she would be in pain, so I chose to be silent, my mother's heart has been very bitter, I don't want her to know about it, if she knows about it, she will definitely not be able to stand it."

"If I disappear suddenly, my mother will definitely ask for someone from Mingchen'an—she will definitely ask Abbot Huijue, and if she can't find me, she will definitely choose to report the crime. So, I thought about it, no matter what the situation, no matter what difficulties I encountered, I would live. ”

"Before the accident, I wanted to hint something to my mother, but I never had the chance, because my mother was sick for a few days, and then I had an accident."

"When I heard the voice coming from inside the secret passage, when Zhizhen was busy blocking the entrance to the secret room in the secret passage, when Huijue destroyed all the reliefs on the furniture with a knife, when Zhizhen wanted to transfer me to the Ziyun Temple, I strengthened my judgment and determination."

"How did you remember to hide your bra in the vent?"

"Before Zhizhen took me out of the secret room, I heard the conversation between the two of them in the secret tunnel. Normally, they speak very quietly, but that day, I guess they were in a hurry, so they spoke a little higher. They were talking in the secret passage, and Qing Shui and I heard it. ”

"What did they say?"

"Hui Jue said, get them away quickly, as long as they can't find anyone, the case can't be investigated; She also said that it is important to clean up the reliefs on the furniture, and if they see the reliefs on the furniture, they will definitely understand what is going on. These are the exact words of Huijue. ”

"The 'they' in their mouth should be the police."

Hui Jue also said that after getting these two people away, they must be carefully examined and nothing should be left behind. As long as they don't leave anything behind, the police won't be able to find out why they can't find out even if they find out to Lord Yama. ”

"I had a quick idea and stuffed my bra into the vent – I hesitated for a moment before hiding my bra in the vent. I'm sure you'll be looking for clues, and as soon as I shoved my bra into the vent, I unlocked the door and came in. ”

"There are two lines of writing on the stone wall, but the words have been disposed of, are you writing the words?"

"I didn't write it, the words were chiseled out before I entered the secret room. It must have been carved by the person who was killed earlier. ”

"When did you know there was another person in the chamber?"

"There was an iron door between the two chambers, which was always locked, and then, when I heard a little movement, I knew that there was another person near me—at first, I didn't know there was an iron door in the tunnel. Every time Zhizhen enters the secret room and leaves the secret room, he has to open the iron door twice, and the sound of the two iron doors when they open is different, one voice is more shrill and the other has a heavier voice, sometimes, I hear the sound of opening the iron door twice, but I don't see Zhizhen's figure, I know that there is a woman in the nearby room. ”

"One day, Shimizu and I tried to shout a few words, but we heard each other's echoes. The three doors are separated, and we can only hear each other's voices, but we can't see people. Through communication, I knew that Qing Shui was locked up in the secret room next door. ”

"Ever since we spoke, I've been scared anymore. Master Mo Ran and Master Leng Yue mentioned Qing Shui to me. The two of us comforted each other and encouraged each other - I didn't expect that Qing Shui could open up more than I still thought. ”

Comparatively speaking, Qing Shui is indeed much more optimistic and stronger than Jingping.

"I also had times of despair, and in times of despair, I also thought of ending my life - I still can't believe that I can bear that kind of inhuman life, under the guidance of Qing Shui, I gave up the idea of suicide, it is better to die than to live. As long as you live, there is hope. ”

At this moment, Zhao Zimeng didn't ask any questions, and he didn't want to ask any questions, what to say, how to say it, it was up to Lian Luodan to decide. Of course, although the contact with Lian Luodan has not been long, Zhao Zimeng already knows Lian Luodan well, and she will definitely say what she should say.

Zhao Zimeng's judgment was not wrong. Lian Luodan understands the feelings of Zhao Zimeng and her comrades very well, and she does not shy away from those embarrassing and embarrassing questions.

"One day—when, I don't know, I heard footsteps, followed by the sound of unlocks and doors, and I was talking about the iron door inside the tunnel. I pretended to be asleep. After a while, the lock of the chamber opened, and a dark figure came in, walked to the bed, leaned over to look at me, and listened to my breathing. ”

After a minute or two, he put something on the cupboard, then took a match from his pocket, took a match from the matchbox, and lit the cover light on the cabinet. I glanced at him as he lit the lamp. ”

"Do you know him?"

"I don't know, although the Purple Cloud Temple and the Ming Chen Nunnery are very close to each other, we often go to collect firewood in the woods, and we have also met the Taoist priests of the Purple Cloud Temple, but we have never seen Zhizhen."

Wuwen Taoist said that Zhizhen has never walked out of the Purple Cloud Temple since he entered the Purple Cloud Temple.

Zhizhen has never walked out of the Purple Cloud Temple during the day, not including the night.

Zhizhen picked up the lamp and stayed on my face for a while, then sprinkled the water from the bowl on my face.

"I didn't open my eyes right away, I just moved my body. Thinking I was going to wake up, he quickly put a black cloth over his face—he obviously didn't want me to recognize him—he didn't want me to know who he was. ”

"Did he cover his face the whole time?"

"He kept his face covered until we became addicted."

"You go on."

"When I saw him covering his face, I slowly opened my eyes."

"Did Zhizhen speak?"

"At first, he didn't speak, he untied the rope from my hand—he only untied the rope from my hand and the rope from my upper body, helped me to my seat, poured half a bowl of water out of a clay pot, and handed it to my hand. I saw a small food box on the cabinet, and he opened it, and there was a bowl of rice and a bowl of vegetables in the box. ”

"I knocked the bowl off his hand, and I didn't expect that I wasn't scared at all."

Zhao Zimeng listened and waited, he didn't want to interrupt Lian Luodan's words.

"I tried all my strength to break free from the ropes that bound my legs and feet, but to no avail, I really tied my legs and feet to the couch."

The blood on Lian Luodan's cheeks gradually dissipated, her lips were purple, and there was still a little fear in her eyes.

Lin Di poured a cup of hot water and handed it to Lian Luodan's hand. Lian Luo Dan held the teacup tightly in his hand.

"Lian Luodan, you drink a little water first, don't be in a hurry, say slowly, there are some places, if you don't want to say it, don't be reluctant." Zhao Zimeng felt that it was a little unkind to let Lian Luodan recall that unbearable past.

"Captain Zhao, you don't have to worry about me, I'm fine." Lian Luodan took a few sips of water, and then recalled, "Zhizhen suddenly rushed over, pressed me to the couch, and tied the rope back to my body. ”

"I asked him, 'Who are you?' ”

"The old demon said, 'You don't need to know who I am.'"
