Chapter 10: The Pagoda Horror

There was silence in the Xiangji Kitchen, and after a long time, I said in a hurry: "Abbot Yuankong, wouldn't the person you saw in your dream who fell into the Longquan Tower look like me?" ”

The abbot of the round sky smiled and said, "Lord Mo, if you weren't like the person in your dreams, would you be able to sit here and talk to me at this moment?" This was really strange, I woke up from a dream, but I didn't think about it, and blamed myself for having a problem with my meditation, and I was able to sit and fall asleep! ”

The suspicion in my heart was even worse, and I was about to ask again, but I heard Tan Min beside me already ask in a low voice: "Abbot Yuankong, this seems unlikely, right?" Brother Xiao Mo and I came to Longquan Temple to make incense, and you haven't seen us, how can you say that Brother Xiao Mo is very similar to the person in your dreams, so let Master Yuanming come and invite us to eat vegetarian food together? ”

Master Yuanming explained on the side: "The two donors, after the abbot and senior brother woke up, their hearts were still not very stable. After dawn, he also went to look under the Longquan Tower, but he didn't find anything abnormal. The abbot's senior brother meditates very deeply, and I don't know why my heart has been bothering this dream. So, the abbot told me about the dream, and described the appearance of the person in the dream in detail. ”

"After the morning class, I came out of the Daxiong Treasure Hall and happened to bump into two of them. At that moment, I only felt that I was so familiar with Master Mo, but I couldn't remember who it was. When I met Senior Brother Abbot again, I suddenly remembered that the person described by Master Mo Shi and Senior Brother Abbot was so similar. ”

"I told you what I had encountered, and the abbot was very surprised. When he heard me say that Lord Mo Shi was still followed by a young woman in a sky blue dress, the abbot was stunned. ”

The abbot of the round sky picked up the topic and said, "Yes, I suddenly thought of the person I saw in my dream as the king of Ming, and the black blue giant snake wrapped around his body. And Tan Shizhu happened to be wearing a dress of the same color, so I wondered in my heart: Could it be that the gods pointed out in my dream that in Longquan Temple today, there was really King Daming? So I immediately asked Senior Brother Yuankong to look for you, and sure enough, I found you. ”

Hearing this, I smiled wickedly at Tan Min and said, "Xiaomin, if I am really the reincarnation of King Ming, wouldn't you be the giant snake that entangled me?" Ha Lu Ha! ”

Tan Min took a sip and said, "What are you talking nonsense?" Look at your bear-like look, can I pester you? What's more, my zodiac is not a snake, I'm a dragon, okay? ”

The abbot of Yuankong smiled and said, "Okay, don't fight with the two donors." I would like to ask the two donors to walk in front of the Longquan Pagoda and see what the situation is, so as to relieve the doubts in my dream, how about it? ”

Tan Min hurriedly replied: "The abbot master is highly respected, and he is so kind to invite us to eat vegetarian food, dare not obey our fate?" Brother Mo, you're full, let's go to Longquan Tower together! ”

I nodded in response, and the abbot of Yuankong and Master Yuanming made a gesture of invitation to me and led me towards the apse.

Longquan Temple is built on a small hillside, and all the buildings are built against the mountain. The Longquan Tower, which is not too high, was built in the backyard of Longquan Temple. An antique whitewashed wall encroaches on the temple and Longquan Pagoda, and a large iron lock hangs on the arched door.

I asked in amazement: "Master Abbot, there is such a beautiful scenery around Longquan Pagoda, and it is the commanding height of the temple, why is it not open to tourists?" ”

The abbot of Yuankong smiled and said nothing, and the master of Yuanming beside him explained: "Lord Mo, this Longquan Pagoda and the temple were built at the same time, and the Miaokong Zen Master who built the temple once instructed: 'The temple name Longquan is the reason why there is a dragon in the temple. Build a tower and town, only as a pavilion of scriptures, from time to time to disturb, so as not to anger the gods! In addition to bathing and changing clothes, going up to the tower to get the scriptures, usually no one is allowed to enter the Longquan Tower, even the abbot master is no exception! ”

The abbot of Yuankong opened the garden gate, stretched out his hand to me and said, "Lord Mo, Lord Tan, please enter!" This is the key to the tower door, and after the old man burns incense and prays, he can open the tower door for the two donors and enter. ”

Longquan Pagoda is surrounded by green bamboo, although it is still very hot now, but Longquan Pagoda feels extremely cool around. Looking at the seven-story exquisite pagoda, thinking of the dream that the abbot master said, I couldn't help but feel worried in my heart.

Looking at the ancient pagoda that seemed to be secretly watching me, I excused myself: "Master Abbot, since this is the forbidden place of your temple, I am a stranger to the world, I am afraid it is not very convenient to enter, right?" ”

The abbot of the round sky smiled and said: "There is nothing to do, except for the monks of the temple, the rules of the temple, if there is something wrong, the abbot can bring the destined person into the tower!" ”

Seeing that I could no longer refuse, I had to bite the bullet and enter the tower. I wanted to reach out and pull Tan Min inside, but I saw that Tan Min's face was not very good-looking. I asked with concern, "Xiaomin, what's wrong with you?" Wasn't it still good just now? ”

Tan Min bit her lip lightly and said shyly: "Brother Xiaomo, I won't go in, you and the abbot will come in, I'll wait for you outside this door!" ”

I'm very surprised, what's wrong with Tan Min? I muttered to myself in my heart: Abbot, this dream is about my, if it weren't for the purpose of showing my hand in front of Tan Min to win her favor, how could I agree to enter the Longquan Tower?

I didn't think too much about it, and insisted on Tan Min coming in with me. Tan Min hesitated for a long time, and said with a gloomy face: "Brother Xiaomo, I will ignore you if you do this again." I've been inconvenient for a few days, and I suddenly felt uncomfortable just now, and I want to rest here alone for a while, why do you want me to go in with you? ”

I couldn't help but be stunned, and suddenly realized what Tan Min meant by 'not very convenient'. I smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm sorry, Xiaomin. Then you can rest here for a while, and I will accompany the two masters to go in and have a look. ”

The abbot of Yuankong smiled and said: "Tan Shinu is a woman's feminine body, this Longquan Pagoda is the holy place of Tibetan scriptures in my Longquan Temple, and it is indeed inconvenient to enter." Senior Brother Yuankong, you are here to take care of Master Tan, and Master Mo and I will come in and take a look. ”

Master Yuanming clasped his hands together and said, "Senior Brother Abbot, you go in, I will take care of Lord Tan." ”

I was also in awe of this mysterious Longquan Pagoda in my heart, and I always thought about how bold people were, and I wished that Master Yuanming would also go in with me, so I couldn't help blurting out: "Master Yuanming, Xiao Min said that she is not very comfortable, and she wants to rest here alone for a while, so you can go in with me and Master Abbot!" ”

The abbot of Yuankong smiled and said, "Amitabha! Wonderful! Lord Moshi, you don't know anything. The monks of the temple, only the abbot can enter the Longquan Tower, and the junior disciples of Yuankong cannot enter. ”

I let out an 'oh' and said helplessly: "Okay, please lead the way, Master Abbot, let's go into the tower and have a look!" ”

The abbot of the round sky said 'please' and strode towards the pagoda. I peeked at Tan Min, and saw that her eyebrows were slightly frowned, she lowered her head and bit her lip, and she didn't look at me at all, and I couldn't help but feel a sour feeling in my heart.

No matter how much it is, I still hurry up and perfunctory the old monk in front of me, and accompany Tan Min back to the small restaurant as soon as possible! Just as I was making this decision with self-deprecation, I heard a 'babbling' and a cool breeze with a slightly musty smell blowing in my face.

The abbot of the round sky has already opened the door of the Longquan Tower, looking at the tower of the black hole, when I was hesitating, I heard the abbot of the round sky smile and said: "Lord Mo, please!" ”

I asked in surprise, "Master Abbot, aren't you coming in?" ”

The abbot of Yuankong said with a smile: "Lord Mo has just come to Longquan Temple, and the first time I entered the tower, how can I not accompany Lord Mo Shi to come in?" You go first, and after I put the locks, then you go in!" ”

I said no more, but lifted up my feet and went into the tower. Just entered the Longquan Tower, only to feel that the surroundings were pitch black, and after a while, the eyes adapted to the environment in the tower, and could vaguely see the pattern and furnishings in the tower.

I turned around and waited for the abbot to enter, but unexpectedly a strong wind blew up and blew the pagoda door shut. I couldn't help but feel frightened, and hurriedly shouted, "Abbot Yuankong, why did you close the door?" Hurry up and open the door, you can't see anything inside. ”

I only heard the abbot of the round sky outside also shouting: "Master Mo, don't worry, the wind has blown the door shut, I'll open the door." ”

There were a few bangs on the door, but the door was not opened. After a while, I couldn't even hear the sound of banging on the door. I was terrified and muttered, "Oh! I didn't expect that such a respectable and kind old abbot didn't know what he wanted to trick me into this pagoda! ”

All of a sudden, I broke out in a cold sweat and panicked. This abbot and I don't know each other, why do you want to trick me into the tower? Don't...... I suddenly remembered the hideous face of the village chief. Could it be that the village chief found out my whereabouts, and this abbot is an accomplice of the village chief who deliberately imprisoned me in this pagoda?

Despite the fear in my heart, my mind is clear. This terrible thought just came to me, and immediately gave myself a denial. Because I knew that this abbot didn't know me at all, and the village chief had the most power, and it was impossible to find me at once, let alone imagine that he could command the abbot here.

In the darkness, a golden bright spot suddenly appeared in front of me. I was stunned, my eyes widening as I watched the point of light that seemed to be getting bigger.

The golden point of light suddenly exploded like an explosion, and in an instant, ten thousand golden lights illuminated the dark pagoda clearly. In the golden light, a hideous face appeared, wearing a golden helmet and golden armor, and holding a demon pestle. Although I was shocked and thought it was incredible, I didn't feel too scared.

After all, it was a god general, not a demon, who suddenly appeared in front of me. Of course, this is all inspired by the dream narration of the abbot master, otherwise I really can't tell whether the god in front of me is a human or a monster, a demon or a demon, and it is strange if he is not scared!
