I was here once a few days ago, when I was out of body. But I was nervous at the time, and I was completely guided in by the monks. So, I didn't look around the place very closely.

Aside from the path I walked that day, this temple was still very new to me.

The woman said behind me, "Guess what, where is the most likely place for a miracle?" ”

I smiled wryly: "How do I know?" I'm just a regular college student. ”

The woman ignored my words, she said lightly: "Gods, Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, of course I want to be worshipped, I think, this miracle appears on the main hall." Let's find it one by one. ”

There are indeed many large halls here. I walked into one at random.

The main hall was covered with a thick layer of dust, but there was no garbage other than dust. It is conceivable that when there were still monks in this temple that day, they must have been diligent in cleaning.

I stood in front of the offering table and looked at the Buddha statue in the main hall. I couldn't help but be surprised: "This Buddha statue is wrong." ”

The woman frowned and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

I said, "This statue seems a little small. Shouldn't the Buddha statue in the temple be very tall and majestic? And the Buddha statue here is only the size of an ordinary person. ”

The woman sneered: "This place is pretending to be a ghost." You go up and take the statue down for me, and see if it's a human or a ghost. ”

I was embarrassed and said, "Isn't this a bit too blasphemous?" You're here to look for miracles, and if you do that, if you annoy the Buddha, you won't be able to become a Buddha, right? ”

The woman punched at her: "Who said I was going to become a Buddha?" ”

I hurriedly jumped a step and said with some confusion: "Didn't you come here to become a Buddha?" How do I feel like you've hinted at it many times along the way? ”

Although I complained in my mouth, I did not dare to disobey the woman's will in action. I sighed and knelt on the futon in front of the Buddha statue.

The futon had accumulated a layer of dust, and as soon as I knelt down, I choked and coughed.

Then I bowed down slowly, muttering, "Today I was coerced by gangsters and had no choice but to blaspheme the gods and Buddhas. It's no wonder that it's no wonder, it's no wonder it's offended. ”

My rhetoric is like worshipping Buddha and ghosts, and it is more like shirking responsibility.

The woman laughed out loud. She said, "What are you doing all this ridiculous stuff for?" Why don't you do it yet? ”

I sighed and climbed onto the altar. Moved the Buddha statue up.

The Buddha statue was a bit lighter than I expected and didn't seem to be carved out of stone.

I carefully removed the Buddha statue. It was placed on the ground upright.

The woman sat cross-legged, and she was facing the Buddha statue. It looked like two monks, talking about the scriptures.

She reached out and peeled off the gold paint from the outside of the Buddha statue little by little.

These gold lacquers have been going on for a long time, and there are already a lot of places that have fallen off. Now it is peeled by a woman. Immediately fell down.

After a few minutes, the Buddha statue turned black-brown.

I saw that the Buddha statue had lost its gold lacquer and had become skinny, and the ribs on his chest could be counted in rows.

I couldn't help but say, "How can you carve the gods and Buddhas like this?" It's not like a god or Buddha, it's like a hungry people. ”

The woman stood up and said lightly, "He was originally starved to death." After he died, he was smeared with mud on his body and face to hide his scrawny appearance. Artificially made fruitful and kind. Then it was smeared with gold lacquer, placed on the offering table, and was worshipped. ”

I couldn't help but feel a shock in my heart: "Starve people to death, and then put them on the table to worship?" What kind of perverted person would do such a thing? ”

I looked at the scrawny corpse, and there was no sign of his arms and legs being twisted. This shows that when they were dying, they were still in a meditative posture. And their faces are filled with satisfied smiles, as if their lifelong pursuit has been realized.

The woman said, "Let's go on." ”

We walked around the temple and found that there were many large halls, and in each hall there was a corpse that had died of starvation.

Corresponding to the names on the main hall, these corpses also played the role of various gods, Buddhas, and Bodhisattvas.

I walked through the temple in a daze, and even forgot that after a while, the woman was going to kill me and take out the blind dragon in my body.

After walking for a while, I saw a round arch, and after passing through the arch, I saw a wall in the courtyard.

The position of this wall is exactly the same as the one with the blind dragon depicted before. It's just that the walls are empty now.

I hurried past.

For I saw a monk sitting cross-legged in front of the stone wall.

I wrenched hard and glanced at him. I couldn't help but scream.

The woman asked, "What's wrong?" ”

I pointed to the monk and said, "He's the abbot here." He is the one who brought us to the blind dragon. ”

The woman looked at him and said, "Is he so young that he became an abbot?" And looking at his clothes, it doesn't seem to be the abbot's clothes. ”

I looked at the monk closely, and he had been angry for a long time, but he, like all the corpses here, had not decomposed.

At this time, the main hall in the temple was almost finished by us.

I said helplessly, "Your so-called miracle doesn't seem to be here. ”

The woman looked around a little unwillingly, then pointed to a house and said, "What is that place?" ”

I thought for a moment and said, "It looks like a meditation room." The abbot had taken me away to take my spirit. ”

The woman nodded and said, "Let's go and see." ”

When I followed the woman to the outside of the meditation room, I was stunned by what I saw.

I saw a lot of monks, all sitting upright on the ground, with happy smiles on their faces. You don't have to look to know that they're all dead.

There were quite a few monks, but they were all facing in one direction, and it was one room.

I couldn't help but sigh: "This scene seems very familiar." ”

The woman asked me strangely, "Familiar?" Have you ever seen such a sight? ”

I nodded and said, "There is a place called the Ten Thousand Ghost Caves. There is an underground Taoist temple there. There are also a lot of corpses inside, worshipping an old ghost. I don't know if there is any connection between the two places. ”

The woman pointed to the meditation room facing the monks and said, "Look at their appearance, if there is a miracle, it must be in this meditation room." ”

I nodded, and cautiously walked into the meditation room.

I gently pushed the door, and a puff of dust fell. The door was pushed open. I cautiously walked in. Sure enough, I saw a few more corpses.

It's just that these corpses are a little weird.

I saw several monks sitting on the ground, looking at the beds with satisfied expressions. And on top of the bed, there was another man.

The man's body was not yet decaying, and I saw that he had a long beard and black hair. I leaned over and took a closer look. The man was wearing a robe.

I looked at this scene a little strangely, and thought: look at these monks. It is clearly a very devout Buddha listening to the scriptures. But it wasn't a Buddha statue on the bed. How can it be the corpse of a Taoist priest?

I looked at the woman and asked, "Do you know what's going on?" ”

The woman shook her head, then looked at the several monks sitting on the ground, she pointed to one of them and said, "This one is the presiding officer of Anle Temple back then, that is, he announced that he had seen the Buddha. ”

Then she carefully identified the rest of the people and said, "The rest are the few people who were selected at the beginning, and after they worshiped the Buddha, they did not leave Anle Temple again." It seems that it has been sitting here. ”

I looked at the presiding officer and the rest of the monks. Like the rest of the corpses, they were all scrawny and looked like they had starved to death.

I scratched my head and said, "Where's the sign?" ”

The woman also frowned and said, "Strange, why is there nothing here?" Not even a single Buddha statue. Could it be that someone has already taken the lead? ”

I cautiously said, "Since I can't find a miracle." Shouldn't you help me find those two friends? ”
