"The last piece, I'll put it myself~" The monk calmly took out a chess piece from the chessboard with a smile on his face, slowly stretched out his hand, and placed it on the chessboard precisely.

"Click!"

Xu Shan held his head wistfully, "Hey~ I lost!" I lost! ”

"Wonderful~" Sheng Linyun couldn't help but exclaim, "At the beginning, the master seemed to be avoiding every step he took, and he was out of order, but he was designing for the layout behind, and in the end, it seemed to be summing but killing step by step." ”

"It is said that it is a killing machine, but in fact, it is Xu Shi who himself stepped into it, and the poor monk is just guarding his duty." After the monk finished speaking, he stood up with his hands on his knees and walked to the room, "I'll go and serve you porridge, let's eat it in the courtyard!" ”

"I'll help you" Xu Shangao just wanted to get up, Sheng Linyun got up and pointed to the chessboard and sneered playfully: "Let's see where you start to get into the set, I don't want to lose to one person three times at the same time!" Haha~"

The three of them had dinner together in the courtyard, chatting about their stories, as if they had been old friends for many years.

"Haha, master, you are so bad, it turns out that you are not a monk!"

"I myself Zhongnan Mountain Taoist, young and vigorous, concentration is also meager, for Bo Hongyan smiled out of the mountain, but because of some things someone gouged out his eyes, and then a lonely monk here saved me, after he died, I became the lonely monk who was in charge here, it is also half a Buddha and half Buddha, but the monk is more popular, haha" The monk said half-jokingly.

"If I were blind, I might not have such a good attitude as a master!" Sheng Linyun said casually.

"Actually, the eyes are sometimes not so important, and when I accompany the pilgrims to worship the Buddha statues, I can see the pilgrims' thoughts more thoroughly than some others with eyes."

"Master, is the extra food you make specially for people in the dark?" Sheng Linyun approached the monk and asked softly.

"Hmm~"

Sheng Linyun glanced at Xu Shangao, "Since you won't go back to the city today, let's stay until the evening and take a look!" ”

"Good!"

So Sheng Linyun and Xu Shangao pretended to leave and hid in the room, while the monk continued his life as usual, and the bell echoed among the mountains, announcing the arrival of night.

The person behind the Buddha statue did not come out until...

The monk walked out of the main hall after the last stick of incense and returned to his bedroom...

"Sasa~" A black shadow opened the Buddha flag and tiptoed out of the main hall, looking towards the courtyard, the wind shook the locust tree, the branches rattled, but the bronze bell stood still.

The black shadow gradually relaxed his vigilance, touched his stomach and stepped out of the main hall, walked towards the room, gently pushed open the door, and immediately ran to the stove and frantically grabbed the steamed buns to eat.

The sound of the door opening reminded Sheng Linyun and Xu Shangao, so the two poked their heads out of the firewood room next door and found a person standing in front of the stove opposite with his back to him.

'A kid a few years younger than me?' At the moment when he saw the black shadow, Sheng Linyun immediately guessed the identity of the other party, looked at Xu Shangao and nodded, and walked out.

"Hey! Gremlin! Xu Shangao said to the figure in front of the stove.

But the figure didn't react, he kept his back to Sheng Linyun and Xu Shangao, and from time to time he scooped up a mouthful of porridge from the disaster and said it to his mouth.

"Hey, child~" Xu Shangao saw that he didn't react and screamed again, but the other party still didn't turn around, as if he hadn't heard anyone call him at all.

"Hey!" Xu Shangao frowned, held a fan and knocked it on the head of the black shadow, scolding, "You know how to eat!" ”

It's okay if you don't knock it, but when you go down, it almost scares out the soul of the black shadow.

"Ah!!h A hoarse voice of fear came from the mouth of the black shadow, and then when he turned around, he saw Sheng Linyun and Xu Shangao standing behind him, the original moonlight was vague, not to mention how much light the small window of the room could borrow, think about how terrifying it is.

The black shadow touched the stove and grabbed something, and threw it wildly on the two of them, Xu Shangao habitually dodged, but Sheng Linyun didn't have such good skills, although he could block a few bowls, he was still smashed several times, the black shadow turned around and was about to run out of the door, because Sheng Linyun was close to the door, he grabbed the black shadow's arm, and the black shadow raised Sheng Linyun's arm and bit it.

Sheng Linyun endured the pain and didn't let go, "Mr. Xu!" Help me! ”

Seeing this, Xu Shangao immediately grabbed the black shadow's wrist, picked up the numb tendons, and then knocked on the black shadow's forehead, the black shadow immediately let go of his mouth, and then was pressed to the ground by Xu Shangao's uniform, "Little brat, it's too bad for you!" ”

"Ahh Yes! The shadow continued to scream and break free.

At this moment, the door of the monk's room opened and he walked out of it.

"Master, it's caught! It's a kid! Xu Shangao immediately felt it.

Sheng Linyun touched his hand, and with the help of the moonlight, he found a deep tooth mark, which had already flowed blood.

"Since it's a child, don't hurt her" The monk immediately walked over, reached out and touched it, wanting to touch the child.

"Be careful, this little ghost bites!" Xu Shangao reminded.

"It's okay! Don't be afraid, kids! The monk listened to the roar and touched the child, "Master Xu, let him go and let me talk to him." ”

As soon as Xu Shangao let go, the child was about to take a mouth at the monk, and the monk immediately took out a steamed bun from his arms and stuffed it into the mouth of the oncoming child accurately, and then hugged the child, no matter how he played, he hugged and stroked his hair tightly, but the monk didn't say a word.

After a long time, the child seemed to be tired, and he cried in the monk's arms with tears no longer struggling, but his voice was still very hoarse, and the monk stretched out his mouth to wipe the tears on the child's face, and the child did not resist and sat on the ground.

It was almost winter, the weather was cold, Xu Shangao helped up the monk and the child who were sitting on the ground, and the four of them entered the main hall, and by candlelight, they found that the child covered in soot was actually a girl, and looked at Xu Shangao and Sheng Linyun vigilantly.

Xu Shangao saw that Sheng Linyun had been covering the wound on his hand, but the blood was still flowing out, and he couldn't help but want to scold, "You kid..."

"What's your name?" The monk gently held the child in his arms.

The child looked at the monk with tears in his eyes but did not speak.

"Huh? What is your name? The monk took the child's body again.

The child still didn't make a sound, slowly stretched out his hands, and stuffed the monk's fingers into his mouth, Xu Shangao was about to make a move when he saw this, but was pulled by Sheng Linyun, "Wait!" I heard this kid's voice as if something was wrong! ”

"Huh?" The monk let the child put his finger in his mouth, and after a while, a trace of anger appeared on his face, which had been unfazed all year round, and said to Xu Shangao, "This child's throat has been ruined!" ”

"Doesn't he hear with his ears?" Sheng Linyun hurriedly asked.

The monk hurriedly touched the child's ear, "The blood is blocked, it seems that there is a hidden disease!" ”

"Who is so cruel?" Xu Shangao couldn't bear it in his heart, and hurriedly squatted down and slowly stretched out his hand to the child, but he didn't touch her, the child was afraid to drill straight into the monk's arms, and saw Xu Shangao stop his movements and looked at himself with a gentle smile, and gradually relaxed his vigilance, reached out and touched Xu Shangao and retracted.

The monk touched the child's head and felt the dirt on her body, "Why don't you give her a bath first?" ”

"Good! I'm going to boil water! Xu Shangao immediately ran to the room, Sheng Linyun looked at the child's eyes, and his heart ached, and his eyes unconsciously shed tears.

"Master, have you heard of any of the more hidden caves nearby?" Sheng Linyun wiped his eyes and smiled at the child, but the child still clinged to the monk and didn't dare to make any moves.

"Hmm~ It seems that I heard a pilgrim mention one, there were originally some people behind this mountain, and then I heard that someone found a mineral vein and drove away the people who originally lived in this generation."

"Hmm~" Sheng Linyun stood up thoughtfully and walked out of the main hall, looking at the child's frightened eyes, not wanting to stimulate her anymore.
