I asked Master, "Master, why do I think that demon monk seems to recognize you?" ”

Master shook his head: "Although he doesn't know me, he was also a well-informed person when he was alive, and when he was trapped behind the ghost light array, he could see at a glance that it was a Taoist formation, and he could also see that you were a landing boy." ”

"When I was at Lu Shengcai's house, why didn't he see it? Hey, besides, isn't the demon monk controlled by the evil god, and he still has his own mind? ”

"At that time, it may not have seen through it, but it just felt that you were not a threat and ignored you. The demon monk does not have a mind of his own, but after the evil god occupies his physical body, he can obtain the memories of his life. ”

"It is said that he should have been a person with a high cultivation during his lifetime, why did he become a corpse demon after death?"

"He was originally a person with a lot of wisdom, although he didn't go out of his way to practice magic like us, but he only relied on chanting Buddha and chanting sutras every day, and he also accumulated a considerable amount of cultivation. The evil god took a fancy to him, so he deliberately refined his body into a corpse demon. Remember the cat's head and monkey corpse in the old temple? ”

"I remember."

"Those two things, are the evil god in the temple, he will these two things as a tribute to the monk, and inject evil energy into the monk's corpse, the cat demon and the monkey demon are tragic deaths, the resentment on the body is quite amazing, when the evil god uses the evil energy to open a channel on the monk's corpse, these resentment will be injected into the monk's body, catalyzing it into a corpse demon."

"Why are there only half of the Buddha statues in the Mahavira Hall?"

"It's not very clear, anyway, the destruction of the Buddha statue must also be the handiwork of the evil god, as for why it was only half destroyed, I can't see through the reason."

I nodded: "The sadness on the demon monk should also come from the cat demon and the monkey demon, right?" ”

"It's hard to say, but it could also come from himself."

"Master, I want to know where the monk is buried, so I can go back and put incense on him."

"He has fallen in the old temple, while there is still some time, you can go this afternoon, there will be no such opportunity tomorrow."

"What, we're leaving the mountain city?"

The master was silent for a moment before he spoke, "I'm going to take you to Jingyun Mountain. This time, it is estimated that it will take a long time to come back, Qiao Laosan has already completed the suspension procedures for you, but let's say okay first, even if you take a suspension, you can't leave your schoolwork behind! ”

No wonder Third Master Qiao specially got a set of textbooks for the third year of junior high school for me.

"Isn't Jingyun Mountain the territory of the Earth Sect, what are you going to do there?"

Master's face was slightly gloomy: "There is news that in Jingyun Mountain, someone knows the whereabouts of Tianzong, and we have to find out this person." In addition, I have to think of a way to get the two golden back bone wat in the hands of the Earth Sect, anyway, it's useless for them to hold those things, so it's better to give them to you. ”

"Master, you wouldn't want to steal from other people's sects, would you?"

"What do you think, we have to get the Golden Back Bone Wat back openly, but we can't fall into the mouth of others."

"Ask them openly, I'm afraid they won't give it!"

"That's why I want to take you to Jingyun Mountain to find out what the current situation of the Earth Sect is, and then decide how to go next. By the way, your little hair will also follow us to Jingyun Mountain. ”

Originally, I was still thinking that this time I followed my master away to Jingyun Mountain, and it was estimated that I would not see Lu Shengcai for a long time.

Don't look at this kid who is annoying on weekdays, but if I don't see him for a long time, I will really miss him.

No way, after all, I'm just such a friend.

As soon as I heard that he was going too, I immediately became happy: "Why is he going too?" ”

"At present, Lu Fuzi's matter has alarmed Jing Chu to steal the door, and Jing Chu learned that Lu Shengcai had been practicing theft with Lu Fuzi, so someone proposed to abolish this child's ......"

"Gou Yu didn't do anything bad, why should he be embarrassed?"

"An old family like the Lu family, there are indispensable pickles in the family, and there are a lot of people with black water in their stomachs, these people, what can't they do?"

"That'...... The dog is going to be fine, right? ”

"If no one pleads with Jing Chu to steal the door, then his life will be over. Fortunately, Qiao Laosan is also from a thief family, and he can also say a few weighty words on Jing Chu's side, Lu Fuzi's wife is a person with means, she inquired about Qiao Laosan's identity, and begged Qiao Laosan to intercede for her child. ”

"Third Master Qiao must have agreed, right?"

"Yes, but on one condition. He can intercede for Lu Shengcai, but from now on, Lu Shengcai has to follow you, and wherever you go, he will follow. When Qiao Laosan told me about this, I originally blamed him for making his own decisions, but now it seems that you and this Lu Shengcai are indeed fateful. ”

Master also said earlier that we people in the Xiaolongtan lineage must always have someone to help by our side.

In retrospect, Master and Third Master Qiao were such a combination.

I asked Master, "Why do we have to have a door thief next to our people in Xiaolongtan to help?" ”

The master shook his head: "To be exact, it is the Human Sect and the Thief Sect that help each other, and the Heaven and Earth Sect have always disdained to be in the company of the Thief Sect. As for the reason...... I don't know very well, I only heard your ancestor mention it before, what did you say, the reason why the Renzong has cooperated with the thief sect for a long time is because the two can increase each other's luck. Your ancestor is a person, sometimes he likes to talk about it, and I don't know if what he said is true or false. ”

I've always had a large brain circuit, but when I heard Master casually mention Tianzong, I asked again, "How did Tianzong disappear back then?" ”

"It's said that I went overseas to find something. I don't know exactly what I'm looking for, but I remember that the Heavenly Sect was a collective dispatch, and after they went to sea, they never came back. In fact, before I took you, I had been looking for them overseas for 20 years, but I never had any clues. ”

At this point, Master cut me off from continuing to ask, "Okay, if you want to offer incense to the monk, go quickly." I'll pack my bags at home, and we'll leave when you get back. ”

"In such a hurry?"

"Hurry up or not late, let's go."

I didn't talk nonsense anymore, grabbed a handful of incense and went out.

It was almost noon when I went to the old temple deep in the mountains and forests and gave the monk an incense stick.

At that time, the incense case in the temple courtyard and the half-Buddha statue in the Daxiong Treasure Hall were gone, only there was a pool of burnt marks on the floor in the center of the temple, and I don't know if it was my illusion, without the incense case, the courtyard seemed to have become less dilapidated, but without the Buddha statue, the Daxiong Treasure Hall suddenly became much older.

When I got home in the afternoon, Master had already packed up and took me into Qiao Sanye's car.

When I got in the car, Lu Shengcai was sitting in the passenger seat, he looked out the window sullenly, and he ignored me when I talked to him.

It wasn't until Qiao Sanye drove the car out of the mountain city that this kid turned around and looked behind me in a daze.

Through the car window behind me, I could see the widest road in the mountain city.

Lu Shengcai kept looking at it in a daze, until the road was finally covered by the mountains and forests, he couldn't hold back anymore, and hugged the car chair and cried bitterly.
