Chapter 355: The Disaster of Innocence
I didn't know how big Shangqing Temple was when I came. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info from the outside. It doesn't seem to be huge. At this moment, everyone is on the move. I just realized that this place is huge. The area is comparable to that of a small town. The number is estimated to be around five hundred.
We followed many monks to the location of the Scripture Pavilion. Everyone is busy. They rushed inside with buckets. Ji Xueyan exclaimed: "Why didn't you call the police." Wait until they put out the fire. It is estimated that the scriptures have also been burned. ”
"Call the police. No kidding. Fire trucks simply can't get up. The police were not used. Wang Yue analyzed.
Think about it. Isn't. This Shangqing Temple is halfway up the mountain. It is a few hundred meters from the ground. Fire trucks are also useless.
A few young monks, under the guidance of the old monk, quickly found the water pipe. Fortunately, there is running water in the temple. After the water pipes are connected. The old monk opened the valve. The strong water pressure merges into a water dragon. Compared to fire trucks, it does not show weakness.
Half an hour later. The fire was finally brought under control. By this time, everyone was exhausted. Some monks were even burned by fire. Lying on the ground struggling in pain. Master Yunkong knelt on the ground. Put your hands together. Facing the Pavilion of the Scriptures. Two lines of tears flowed from those cloudy eyes.
"Let's go, let's go. Nothing to look at. Ji Xueyan beckoned us to leave. I just turned around. Suddenly, I heard the voice of the old monk: "What person?"
"Oops. was discovered. Come on. Wang Yue's face was terrified.
I smiled indifferently. He said to them, "What are you running?" We didn't put the fire. What are you afraid of. ”
"Fool. There is no monitoring here. You said we didn't put the fire. Will they believe it. Wang Yue said with a word. I also realized the seriousness of the situation. I didn't say a word right away. beckoned them to run down the hill.
The footsteps behind him grew closer. We hid all the way. I never got rid of them. As we walked through the temples. When you come to the square. was bumped into by the monks who had already been guarding this necessary road. They couldn't help but say. Tied up a few of us. I can't stop complaining. Explaining again and again has nothing to do with us. But they didn't believe it. My request to see Master Yunkong was also denied. We were locked up.
It was a dark room. There was nothing in it. There is only a bathroom in the corner. The ground was covered with dead grass. There are tiny holes in the walls. It is used to transmit light. Ji Xueyan told us: "This is the place where the monks have thought about it. Do not worry. Someone will bring us food. ”
"You can still be so calm. We're in captivity. Who knows how long those stinky monks will keep us. No way. I want to see my lawyer. Wang Yue complained.
"Several donors. How offended. Shangqing Temple has been established since the Guangxu period. There was never a fire. Nor has he ever lost his scriptures. Since the visit of several donors. I accidentally lost a scripture book. The abbots have their own decision on this matter. During this period, we hope that several donors will cooperate with us. If known. Be honest. This book is of great importance. If it is accidentally used by a bad person. It will bring calamity to the world. The door was pushed open. An old monk with his eyebrows down to his chin walked in with a smile.
This monk has a fat head and big ears. Always smiling. It sounds better to say this. It's just that we all understand the meaning of these words. What a fit. This is simply captivity. Other words. They weren't going to let us go until we found out.
There is no calamity. What a disaster. I knew this was the case, so I stayed in the house honestly. What a fun. The real thief was not caught. Instead, we have become thieves.
I remembered the figure I saw earlier. I think I get it. He set the fire. He also stole the scriptures. The bell was also lost by him. I said to the old monk, "Master. You have to trust us. We're here to ask Master Yunkong for guidance. How could you do such a thing of a rooster and a dog thief? Just now my friend and I were talking to Master Yunkong. Suddenly, I heard the little monk say. The Buddha wept. That's why we went with us. We are afraid of the master's blame. So he didn't dare to show his face. Until the Scripture Pavilion caught fire. We never dared to show up. I know. It's normal for you to be suspicious of us. What I'm going to say is. I saw a man before. He was not a monk of Shangqing Temple. I didn't catch him. But I picked up something. I guess this thing should be his. ”
I handed the bell to the old monk. The old monk looked at me. Look at the bell in your hand again. I thought for a moment. He said to me, "Donor, please wait here for a moment." I'll wait until I've consulted with a few abbots before making a decision. ”
The old monk left. The door to the forbidden room was locked again. Darkness is coming. A chill poured in through the holes in the walls. I started to shiver a little.
Ji Xueyan saw my abnormality. She reached out and touched my forehead: "You have a fever."
"What's going on. But at this time I was sick. Lie down and rest for a while. When the old monk came, I asked him to bring some antipyretics. "Wang Yue helped me to the position against the wall. Take off your coat and drape it over me.
I smiled wryly. They were so good to me. I can't remember them. How we met.
"Hey. I don't know what happened to the stone now. Ji Xueyan sighed.
"Shhh Sister Yan. When did you start caring so much about that kid. Hehehe......" Wang Yue teased.
"Get out of the way. Anyway, we are also small. It is appropriate to care about it. Don't be foolish. Ji Xueyan blamed.
Listen to the voices of the two of them. I gradually closed my eyes. I just feel so tired. Tired.
In a dark space. Nothing. Above my head was a void. Beneath his feet is a pool of black water. I'm standing on the water right now. There is my reflection in the water. I wondered. How is it possible for a person to stand on the water. This defies common sense. Do you mean I'm dead? It's my ghost. I pinched myself. It hurts. It's true.
I shouted the name of the stone. But no one answered me. Just when I was moved by despair. Suddenly, I saw a wave in the water. I stared. I vaguely saw a face floating out of the water. That face was white. The delicate facial features are clearly visible underwater. When three feet above the water. It suddenly opened its eyes.
I screamed and woke up from my dream. I found myself in a cold sweat.
"What's wrong with you. Have a nightmare. Don't be afraid. We're in. Wang Yue leaned over. Help me wipe the sweat from my forehead.
I saw Ji Xueyan turn around and walk to the wall. Clasp your hands in front of your chest. He lowered his head and said nothing. Suddenly, I had a very uncomfortable feeling in my heart.
"Oh my God. Come and see. What is this. Ji Xueyan exclaimed. The two of us hurried over.
I saw a severed nail on the ground. The nails were black. It's as long as a finger.
