Master Zhiguo has always had a premonition that he is about to die. But his premonition had been said so many times that the disciples of Fangcun Temple didn't take it seriously. Yesterday morning, Master Kanshan, who had not entered the temple for decades, suddenly ran to the temple gate and said that he would come to see Master Zhiguo for the last time. Monk Hui led his disciples to knock him down the mountain, but everyone was not at ease, and when they returned to the abbot's room, they saw that Master Zhiguo had fallen.

Everyone has a feeling that Master really can't stand it this time. The disciples panicked, knelt on the ground, and wept and wept. At this time, the fourth junior brother, Monk Hui Slow, said, "Master, after you pass away, who will inherit your mantle?" ”

Monk Hui was angry all of a sudden, and roared, "You conscienceless! Master serves us like a father, he is sick like this, and you are still thinking about the position of the temple presiding officer! Are you human? He scolded so slowly that he couldn't raise his head.

Master Zhiguo sighed and said, "Alas! Don't be angry, don't be angry! The past life was not false, and today is not true! Life is so bitter, you must go to the roots! This is the branch of Buddhism, and it is generally believed that it contains a profound philosophy of life, and it also has some prophetic nature.

Master Zhiguo said this Buddha's verse, closed his eyes, and passed away. As soon as Master Zhiguo died, Fangcun Temple was in chaos, and even the monk Hui Yan, who was known as the first supernatural power among his disciples, had no idea.

There are two opinions on how to deal with the body of Master Zhiguo: one is cremation, the body is originally a stinky skin, and it will be clean even if it is poured down, maybe you can get some relics or something to benefit future generations; The second is the urn burial, after the death of some Buddhist monks, the corpse is placed cross-legged in two large vats. After three years, if the body is not destroyed, then it can be made into a golden Buddha in the flesh.

When Monk Hui said this, Ren Qiuling interjected, "What? Hasn't anyone died in Fangcun Temple? Just follow the usual rules. ”

Monk Hui smiled proudly, "There are very few disciples in Fangcun Temple, but there are really no dead people in hundreds of years, so there is no precedent." ”

only said that the two factions fought for a long time, and finally the third junior brother Hui Idiot settled the matter: "Master has been dead for so long, his body is stiff, if he really wants to sit in the tank, he must bend his joints hard, and it is also a kind of harm to the body, can you bear it?" ”

There was nothing to say that night, and this morning, all the disciples gathered firewood and went to the abbot's room to move the master's body to prepare for cremation. Only then did it be discovered that Master Zhiguo's body was missing. The monks in the temple were in an uproar and made a mess again. Hui was angry, forcibly used his supernatural powers to suppress all the monks, and then sent the monk Hui to inform Lee Myung-bak and let Lee Myung-bak find the body through the relationship of the special affairs department.

Then he himself ran to Ren Yuan to find Zou Yan.

Hui is not eloquent, so the case was introduced for most of the day. At this time, everyone had already come to the halfway point of the mountain, and everyone except for Hui Yan and Zou Yan was half tired and half dead.

Ren Qiuling raised her eyes to see that there was a golden roof on the mountain peak in front of her, among the green trees, shining in the sun, and exclaimed in surprise: "Huh? We're here? ”

Hui Yan said: "That's the Mid-Mountain Pavilion, it's too early to get to the mountain." But you can go to the mid-level pavilion to drink some tea - the pavilion was opened by the monk of the mountain, he is a man from the rich field, and he likes money! Hum! In the tone, there was a lot of disrespect for the mountain monks.

Everyone was tired and thirsty, and when they heard that there was tea to drink, they all refreshed themselves, and they sped up their pace and ran to the Mid-Mountain Pavilion.

Before I arrived at the pavilion, I saw that the big red pavilion pillar had a sub-couplet written in ink, "A bowl of tea helps the world; Half a furnace of incense is good alone. At this time, he was thirsty for benefits, and he didn't think deeply about the philosophy, so he shouted one by one, "Is there any tea?" Have a bowl! ”

Seeing that the mountain monk looked thin and dry, he smiled when he saw the business coming to the door, "There is tea and tea, this year's new tea!" Great! While greeting warmly, he was busy pouring tea for everyone, and he really looked like a businessman.

Everyone gulped down their tea and shouted, "It's so comfortable!" Good tea! ”

Ren Qiuling is a girl in the end, took a sip of tea, and then sighed: "It's really good tea!" "The tea is bitter and sweet in the mouth, fragrant through the spleen and stomach, and only one sip makes people tired and refreshed. It's just that the bowl for tea is not so exquisite, it is the coarse porcelain bowl used by the mountain people to serve rice.

Monk Hui hated to look at the mountain monk, and by the way, he hated even his tea, and stood far away, as if he didn't even want to smell it.

After drinking tea, Lao Ma asked, "How much is this tea?" ”

The monk said, "It depends on whether you are sincere or not!" If you want to give sincerely, you can give fifty hundred or so! If you don't give sincerely, you can not take a penny! As he spoke, he tapped his fingers on the merit box beside him.

Ren Qiuling was slightly stunned, this mountain monk is not simple! Although he just said that, he used the double bondage technique of psychology - this technique is actually convenient for the use of language, that is, you cannot answer any sentence with a simple "yes" or "no". For example: "You still haven't paid me back?" It's better to say, "When are you going to pay me back?" ”

Also, the action of tapping the merit box when the monk Kanshan speaks is a more advanced psychological technique called "forced selection". Very few people remember what other people do when they speak, but those actions can act directly on the subconscious, making choices for others, and others think that they are their own choices - if you don't know psychology, you won't notice it at all.

Lao Ma and they all looked embarrassed, just a few bowls of tea, it is more in line with their psychological price to charge ten yuan, and it would be a bit too much to charge fifty hundred.

Ren Qiuling took another sip of tea and said, "This kind of tea, a hundred yuan a bowl is cheap." "Old Ma, they all think that the team leader must be stupid, how can there be a bowl of tea for a hundred yuan?

Zou Yan saw that Ren Qiuling was digging out her wallet, and immediately became machismo, reached out and took out a ball of Zou Baba's hundred-yuan bills from her pocket, "I'll come!" ”

Master Guanshan looked at Ren Qiuling, his eyes flashed, and he said, "Or, I'll tell you another fate?" ”

"Let's go!" Monk Hui exclaimed impatiently, "The sun is so poisonous! ”

Master Kanshan just smiled and didn't get angry.

The group then went up the mountain.

Zou Yan could have flown and walked with everyone today, Ren Qiuling guessed that Zou Yan had a lot of respect for Master Zhiguo, so he would be like this.

When I finally got up the mountain, I saw a small temple, and even the paint on the temple door had fallen off, revealing gray wood. Just by looking at it, you can know that this door is also rotten, and it is estimated that you can cut off the wood with your fingernails. The temple gate was half-hidden, and the courtyard was gloomy, but there was nothing to be seen.

"Male donors please enter the small temple, female donors please stay, the temple rules, female guests are not allowed to enter the temple!" Monk Hui said in a long voice.

Ren Qiuling looked left and right, ha, there was only one female benefactor, "Hey! Why are you still engaging in the system of male superiority and inferiority of women, so feudal! ”

Zou Yan turned around and said, "Forget it, Zhiguo just died, respect his rules!" ”

Ren Qiuling whispered: "Who rarely enters this broken temple!" The sun is so good outside that I just like to be outside. Everyone heard that she was a little aggrieved, but she didn't turn her face because of Zou Yan's relationship, which is really rare.

Zou Yan didn't know what to say, so he led everyone to the temple gate.

Ren Qiuling watched everyone enter the temple gate, and thought to herself: "Zou Yan, I just want you to understand that in front of the beloved boy, I can also be an obedient girl." Seeing that Heipi was lagging behind, he remembered something and shouted: "Heipi, take this camera, I want to see the process of Lao Ma solving the case." ”

The old horse wanted to refuse, but Heipi had already taken the camera and entered the temple without saying a word.

Unlike Zhishouguan, Fangcun Temple is extremely small and poor, and many houses are dilapidated. The monks of the temple add up to only about 20 people, if it weren't for the ability to see Hui Yan, Lao Ma would only think that this is a broken temple.

The first scene of the crime, of course, was the abbot's room, which was not messy as a normal scene, but rather excessively neat: the bedding was neatly folded on the bed, an open scripture book was placed on the bedside table, and a string of white prayer beads hung on the wall.

"This quilt is a little special!" The old horse asked.

The monks of the whole temple crowded in front of the abbot's room to see Lao Ma solve the case. Listening to Lao Ma's question, a monk immediately replied: "Folding the quilt three times is the habit of the master during his lifetime." ”

Lao Ma asked again, and when everyone found that Master Zhiguo's body was missing, the abbot's room was what they saw now.

"Master Zhiguo may not be dead." The thought did go round and round in the old horse's head. With the cultivation of Master Zhiguo, it is very simple to pretend to be dead.

But soon Lao Ma himself denied this speculation: if Zhiguo wanted to play dead for some special reason, he definitely didn't want people to know that he was playing dead, and he wouldn't decorate the abbot's room as his usual appearance after faking his death.

"This crime scene is disguised," Lao Ma said with his reasoning conclusion, "the purpose of the crime is to make us mistakenly believe that Master Zhiguo is not dead. ”

Many of the senior monks of Fangcun Temple were stunned for a while, and looked at the old horse in disbelief.

Lao Ma once again said another conclusion of his reasoning: "That criminal is actually among us. ”

The monks were silent for a while, and it could be seen that they were restrained by the old horse.
