Back at the hotel, it was almost dawn, and as soon as our group of cars stopped, the second grandfather came over and said, "Go back and rest first, and meet in my room in the afternoon."

In the afternoon, when Brother Hao and I entered the door, the second grandfather's room was already full of people, I looked at it, all of them were capable cadres for this trip, it seemed that we were late, the second grandfather instructed to close the door, and said: "Last night, we lost our troops, we underestimated this thing too much!" Old man Ma also said: "Last time, we broke a few people before we touched the edge." The second grandfather looked at me and said, "Jianjun, you tell everyone what happened last night." "I described what happened last night to everyone in detail, when I told what I saw at the bottom of the cliff, I saw the second grandfather's brows furrowed, the second grandfather was silent for a while, and then looked at the old man Ma, and the old man's expression became solemn. The second grandfather raised his eyebrows and looked at everyone and said, "Don't go out in the past two days, just rest in the hotel, wait for me to inform, let's go back first." I was just about to leave, and the second grandfather said, "You two will stay for a while." ”

When everyone dispersed, only the second grandfather, the old man Ma, Laifu and me were left in the house. The second grandfather looked at Old Man Ma, then at the two of us, and said, "Tonight, you two will accompany me to Jingci Temple again, and we will go to meet someone." ”

In the evening, we were dressed neatly, the second grandfather specially explained, we must clean up the upright, we all wore suits, made a big fuss about themselves as soldiers, the body is very straight, the height is also outstanding in our generation, put on a suit and a green tie, heroic, the second grandfather himself is also very burly, more than 50 years old, the body is still very strong, wearing a gray suit, no tie, a hat, a cane, very magnificent. This time I didn't go on foot, so I asked the third uncle to drive two cars and drove directly to the gate of the temple.

Got out of the car, the second grandfather walked in front, the two of us followed behind, walking unhurriedly, this felt as if following the eldest brother to negotiate, through the courtyard of one into one entry, the last time I came to pick the dragon's breath grass has been walked once, this time it is very familiar, soon to the backyard, at this time, the second grandfather saw a little novice, walked over, to the novice hands folded and said: "Little master, I want to see your abbot, can you please inform me." The little monk looked up at the three of us, and said, "I don't know what the donor is called." "Let's just say that Fengyang Zhang Shou wanted to see him", the little monk glanced at the second grandfather again and said, "Please wait." ”

After a while, I saw the little monk trotting over, "Mr. Zhang, the abbot invites you to come over and come with me." "Passed through the courtyard again, only to see a room with a light on, the door was open, the little monk stood at the door and bent down to make a gesture of please, the second grandfather said thank you, and crossed the threshold and walked into the inner hall, and I and Dahao also followed into the room.

The furnishings in the room are very simple, a case, a few cases for the Buddha statue, a futon below, a few chairs next to it, I heard someone enter the door, the old monk sitting on the futon still did not move, into the general.

The second grandfather didn't speak, just stood behind him and waited, I and Dahao looked at the second grandfather also stood respectfully behind him, and after a cup of tea, the old monk suddenly spoke: "Shou this brother, don't come to harm!" Then he stood up slowly, and when he turned around, I looked at his face, and I was shocked to see that the old monk had no eyebrows, and his face was full of scars, as if his whole face had been burned by hot oil, and I didn't know what I had experienced and how I became like this. The second grandfather said, "Master Xuankong, long time no see!" "Please be seated, I wonder who these two are?" , "The younger generation in the family, I've seen the master soon." The two of us hurriedly bent down and said, "Hello master."

The guest and the host sat down, and the little monk who was standing at the door just now brought tea, and Master Xuankong ordered: "Close the courtyard door, no one is allowed to disturb it!" The little monk bent down and retreated, the master drooped his eyelids, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Shouzheng, go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, please say, what do you need the old man to do?" The second grandfather glanced at the door and closed it tightly, so he briefly said about Dandan, and then said: "Last night, our group encountered something strange in Nanping Mountain, Jianjun, you can tell the master what you encountered." I described what I encountered last night again, the old monk listened to me, he didn't speak for a while, as if he was asleep, I looked at the second grandfather, the second grandfather didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, just sat and looked at the master of Xuankong, "The people in Buddhism, the four are empty, the grievances and disputes in this world, I don't want to get involved in it anymore." "Saving someone's life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, I think the master should be able to understand." The second grandfather still looked at Xuankong quietly. "I Zhang Shouben will repay my kindness, the Ma family is kind to me, and now the Ma family is in trouble, I can't sit idly by." Although the second grandfather didn't speak loudly, these two sentences were sonorous and powerful, and I instantly felt that the image of the second grandfather was even more magnificent.

Xuankong listened to the words of the second grandfather as if he fell into contemplation, suddenly, he raised his head, looked at the second grandfather and said, "Is it not this time, our grievances can be written off", the second grandfather listened to the light in his eyes, suddenly stood up and walked to the futon, plopped down and knelt down, kowtowed three heads and said, "The Buddha is above, after this incident, I Zhang Shouzheng and Xuankong have nothing to do with each other, and I will never see each other again in the second half of my life." After saying that, he kowtowed three more times. I and Da Hao were secretly surprised to see this scene, I had never seen the second grandfather swear like this, and I didn't know what kind of intersection he had with Xuankong before. "Okay, seven days later, see you at the Black Dragon Pavilion of Nanping Mountain, see you off!" After speaking, he got up and sat down on the futon again, and said nothing more.

Seeing this, the second grandfather also stood up, turned around and walked to the door, the little monk had opened the door, the second grandfather nodded, and strode away, I and the big trouble hurriedly followed, out of the temple, the third uncle was waiting outside the door, saw us come out, ran over to open the door for the second grandfather, when the second grandfather was about to get into the car, he stopped and turned to look at the temple gate, but after all, he didn't say anything.

The big fuss said to the third uncle: "Go back." "The car started and was about to leave slowly, when I suddenly saw in the rearview mirror that the little monk just now ran out of the temple gate and looked at our car, so he chased it here. I asked the third uncle to stop, the little monk caught up and patted the car door, the third uncle rolled down the window, the second grandfather looked at the little monk, the little monk looked at the second grandfather, bowed, swept his eyes again, saw me, turned to the other side of the car, handed me something from the window, I was inexplicable, the little monk said to me: "The abbot asked me to give this to you." I looked at him and waited for him to speak, and he just stood there without saying a word, "Didn't say anything?" "No, the abbot said let me give you this thing", I turned my head to look at the second grandfather, and then looked at the fuss, and said that the old monk's style is too cool, the second grandfather nodded to the little monk, and said, "Thank you for me, master", the little monk folded his hands again, and turned to leave.

The car went farther and farther, I looked carefully at the things in my hand, it was a sandalwood box, not big, opened it and looked, it was a black stone-like thing, there was a rope to wear, like a talisman, looking at the light, there was a pattern engraved on it, like a Nazi symbol, but I knew that this was different from that, this is a swastika, commonly used in Buddhism.

There is also a same symbol on the door of the Fengyang Drum Tower, I showed it to the second grandfather, the second grandfather looked at it, didn't say anything, and handed it to me again. I asked, "How?" "You have a relationship with him, just take it," the second grandfather said. made a fuss and said: "The one who keeps you safe, it is estimated that it is to see that your Yin Tang is black, and for the sake of the second grandfather, I will send a favor." I gave him a blank look, and I couldn't figure it out, so I put it up. Turning his head and looking out the window, the black mountains and forests are like a giant dragon lurking in the mountains, and he is inevitably worried in his heart, seven days later, what will happen to the Black Dragon Pavilion?
