"Do you know him?"

"Know, Ziyunguan and Mingchen Temple are very close to each other, we often meet the Taoist priests of Ziyunguan in the woods, Zhizhen practices in one place almost every day, at that time, I thought I was in the secret room of Ziyunguan."

Zhizhen picked up the lamp and stayed on my face for a while, then sprinkled the water from the bowl on my face.

"I didn't open my eyes right away, I just moved my body. Thinking I was going to wake up, he quickly put a cloth over his face - he obviously didn't want me to recognize him - he didn't want me to know who he was. ”

"Did he cover his face the whole time?"

"He kept his face covered until we became addicted."

"You go on."

"When I saw him covering his face, I slowly opened my eyes."

"Did Zhizhen speak?"

"At first, he didn't speak, he untied the rope from my hand - he only untied the rope from my hand and the rope on my upper body, helped me to my feet, poured half a bowl of water out of a clay pot, and handed it to my hand. I saw a small food box on the cabinet, and he opened it, and there was a bowl of rice and a bowl of vegetables in the box. ”

"I knocked the bowl off his hand, and I didn't expect that I wasn't scared at all."

Ouyang Ping listened and waited, he didn't want to interrupt Lian Luodan's words.

"I tried with all my strength to break free from the ropes that bound my legs and feet, but to no avail, I really tied my legs and feet to the bed."

The blood on Lian Luodan's cheeks gradually dissipated, her lips were purple, and there was still fear in her eyes.

Han Lingling poured a cup of hot water and handed it to Lian Luodan's hand. Lian Luo Dan held the teacup tightly in his hand.

"Lian Luodan, you drink a little water first, don't be in a hurry, say slowly, there are some places, if you don't want to say it, don't be reluctant." Ouyang Ping felt that it was a little unkind to let Lian Luodan recall that unbearable past.

"Captain Ouyang, you don't have to worry about me, I'm fine." Lian Luodan took a few sips of water, and then recalled, "Zhizhen suddenly rushed over, pressed me to the bed, and tied the rope back to my body. ”

"I asked him, 'Who are you?' ”

"The truth said, 'You don't need to know who I am?' ”

"I said, 'Can you take off the cloth that covers your face?' ”

"He said, 'I'm afraid to scare you.'" ”

For the sake of convenience, below, the author will change Lian Luodan's narrative to a direct dialogue:

"Only ghosts are afraid to see people, are you a human or a ghost?"

"It doesn't matter if I'm a human or a ghost, as long as you obediently listen to me, I'll keep you safe and sound. I brought you here not to harm your life. ”

"What is this place?"

"You don't need to know what this place is—it's not the Yama Hall anyway."

"Are the few young nuns who disappeared in Mingchen Temple all of them harmed by you?"

"Didn't I just say that? As long as you're obedient and I'll keep you okay - unless you want to die - then there's nothing I can do. ”

"You and Huijue colluded to do such a thing that hurts heaven and reason, and loses conscience, aren't you afraid of retribution?"

"In this world, the word of 'retribution' is used to coax people. 'Cause and effect reincarnation, good and evil are rewarded', only you fools will believe these deceptive nonsense. ”
