Chapter 10 Mountain Temple
Jiang Yun, who came to the front of the mountain temple, had a slightly tired face.
Since escaping from prison in the middle of the night yesterday, he has not closed his eyes for about 20 hours now. He had been on the road, his pace was quite fast, and he had experienced two fights during the process, coupled with mental pressure, he really felt a little tired now.
Earlier, on the way, after killing the mountain wolf, he prayed that he would find a place to stay before it got too dark.
It didn't take long for him to see a light in the distance, and he was really happy.
By the time he arrived, it was getting late.
When he arrived in front of him, he found that this was a small Buddha temple, standing next to the path, with the sign of 'Xiaoyin Temple' hanging on it, on both sides of the temple gate, there were still candles, and a small open space in front of the temple was also cleaned.
He stepped forward, knocked on the temple door, and waited patiently for a while, he heard a rustling sound behind the door, and then a male voice came from behind the door: "Who's outside?" ”
"Passing by travelers, I hope to spend the night."
"Wait a minute."
The footsteps behind the door faded away, and after a while, the man went and returned, and the temple door was opened a small crack, revealing half of the body of the man behind the door.
He was dressed in an earthy yellow monk's robe, had a bald head, and looked to be in his thirties.
"Come in, donor."
Jiang Yun was a little cautious, but there was no discoloration on his face. He thanked him first, and then stepped forward slowly: "Can you open the door a little wider?" ”
"Okay." The man opened the door of the temple, Jiang Yun looked at it, and saw it at a glance, and he didn't see anyone else.
Jiang Yun relaxed a little.
Behind the door is a Buddha hall, enshrined four Buddha statues, all are carved from wood, not fine, obviously this temple in the wilderness does not have much money, incense worship is afraid that the surrounding villages are only a little occasionally, not rich is normal.
Following the monk and entering the Buddha hall, Jiang Yun bowed in front of the Buddha statue, and then continued to follow him, from the small door to the backyard.
The backyard is not large, with a total of three wings. An old monk, accompanied by two monks about thirty years old, was waiting in the small courtyard.
The one who led Jiang Yun in introduced, "Master, two senior brothers, the guests have arrived." ”
Turning his head, he introduced to Jiang Yun again: "This is Master Xuanyi, as well as my two senior brothers, Nirvana Zhen and Nirxian, my legal name is Nirvana. The small hidden temple stands in a remote place, and there are four of us masters and apprentices, and occasionally passing travelers spend the night, we usually gladly allow it, as long as we leave a little money for food, it is enough, and it doesn't matter if we don't give it. ”
This is quite awe-inspiring, and although it is not a great goodness, it also reflects the compassion of the monks.
"Thank you, four mages." Jiang Yun bowed slightly.
The two monks next to the old monk returned the salute together, but the old monk closed his eyes and did not move.
The monk who opened the door followed him into the west wing, which was used as a guest room. Open the door and light the light, the environment inside is really average. A bed and a table are all wooden, quite plain, and the bedding looks a little old and has a faint musty smell.
"The guest room is not in good condition, I hope the donor will not mind."
"Don't dare, it's good to have a roof to block the moonlight."
"I wonder if I need to prepare a meal tomorrow morning?"
"It's best if there's one."
"Then the donor will rest early, and I will come and call you tomorrow morning when the meal begins."
……
Closing the door, Jiang Yun felt that this temple was a bit powerful.
Before knocking on the door and asking, Jiang Yun was actually ready to be rejected.
It's not a wilderness, but it's remote. At night, I heard someone knocking on the door to spend the night, and I didn't ask anything before I let people in to rest?
Kindness is kindness, and it is inevitably a little big-hearted, and this is not afraid of meeting bad people?
Of course, the old monk in the temple didn't say it, the other three were all middle-aged monks, and they were usually afraid of practicing martial arts or something, so it was normal not to be so afraid.
But the information and stories he had read on the earth in his previous life made Jiang Yun a little persecuted paranoia. It's obviously a good thing, but it makes him more vigilant.
In this state of mind, thinking back on what happened just now, he did notice something unusual.
It is normal that the Buddha hall is not exquisite, and the temple is poor, but the dust accumulation on the Buddha statue and the incense case is a little too much, which is more strange. Isn't this a temple that no one has broken down, and there are monks who are resident there, and when they meditate and chant sutras, they don't clean the Buddhist hall?
Just now in the backyard, when he saw the four masters and apprentices, the other two were all smiling at him, but only the old monk who was made a master by them closed his eyes the whole time, did not say a word, and did not respond to greetings, which was also very strange.
However, Jiang Yun is just here to sleep, just hope that nothing will happen, he will be on the road early tomorrow morning to continue the south, and other things here have nothing to do with him.
Of course, the heart of harming people is indispensable, and the heart of preventing people is indispensable, and he still made a little arrangement at the door of the wing room.
……
In the second half of the night, three monks outside Jiang Yunmen, each holding a sword.
In addition to the old monk 'Master Xuanyi', the people of Xiaoyin Temple are all together.
Suddenly, there was a sound of knocking on the wooden fish, which came from another room, which was the master room.
"That old thing is knocking on the wooden fish again at this time!" One of the monks lowered his voice and said, This is exactly the Nirvana who led Jiang Yun into the temple earlier, but he is not as loyal and honest as before, and his face is full of fierceness.
"Leave him alone, he has never woken up the fat sheep so many times before." Nirvana said.
"Hurry up and get in, and the monks will be merciful and give him a good time." The last Nirvana also spoke.
The voices of the three of them were very small, and they didn't worry much about waking up Jiang Yun inside through the door.
During the conversation, one of them reached the door to prevent it from making a sound, one used a tool to widen the crack in the door, and the other used a crowbar to pick open the crossbar behind the door and slowly lower it.
With skillful and tacit understanding, it's obviously not the first day to do this kind of thing.
After opening the door, the three monks walked in briskly with their swords, and without looking, the knife stabbed directly into the bulging quilt.
This stab, I found out that something was wrong - there was no one in it!
Then the bright moon outside the door, the sword light was like flowing water, lighting up from behind the three monks.
The monk Nixian, who had just turned around halfway, didn't even see people clearly, and was directly cut in the throat!
He clutched his neck, trying to cover the wound, but the bleeding from the 'Water Slash' spread the damage, and combined with the throat and other parts, the blood flowed like a stream. He couldn't hold on for long, and soon all the blood in his body drained.
At this time, Jiang Yun had already started a battle with the other two monks who had reacted in the dim moonlight.
