Mountain and Sea Demon Tomb Chapter 7 Statue of a Kobold Man (5)
The three of us walked out of the secret room, and it turned out that outside was the abbot's meditation room. It was already three poles in the morning, and the sound of monks chanting in the Buddhist hall could be faintly heard. The abbot smiled and led us to the chairs to sit down, handed us three more wet towels, and said, "Three donors, please." I've been waiting for you for a long time. ”
"I guess you found out about us when the monks were preparing breakfast." Shirley Yang said as she sipped tea.
"Donor Mingjian, in fact, I guessed the intention of the three early in the morning, but I confirmed the idea in my heart in the early morning." The abbot smiled slightly.
"Indeed, the whereabouts of the three of us this time are more obvious, and the master's mood is transparent, so it is not difficult to see. I'm sure you're going to tell us about the secrets of the underground of this Dust Washing Temple. "I see that since the matter has been exposed, let's just say it in the open.
Unexpectedly, the abbot shook his head and said, "Amitabha, I forgive the old man for not being able to tell him. ”
As soon as the abbot said this, the fat man stood up and shouted: "What are you kidding, the three of us tossed under your Dust Washing Temple for a night, and finally came out, and you actually said that you don't know why there are those monsters below?" ”
"This donor, the three of you broke into the important place of the temple without the permission of the temple, why do I have to explain the reason to you?" The abbot was not angry, and said with a smile.
The fat man was angry for a while, and he couldn't find the words to refute it, so he could only drink tea angrily. Shirley Yang and I didn't talk when we saw this, and it was the first time that we had been found and detained on the spot after so many tomb robberies.
The abbot said: "The three donors don't need to be angry, the old man can't tell each other is not pretending to be suspenseful, but because I don't know the specific situation inside." ”
Hearing this, the three of us looked at each other. The abbot then explained: "This dust-washing temple was built by the Chen family in the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, and the Ming Dynasty died in the second year after it was built. It is reported that the first abbot of this temple is the Chen family's best friend Yinkong Master, because the Chen family believes in Buddhism, often has a good relationship, so it is good friends with Yinkong Master. When the Dust Washing Temple was completed, Master Yinkong came here to be the abbot. There is a big secret hidden under this dust-washing temple, which is known and kept by each abbot. I think you already know that it is the statue of General Chen. As for what this statue is for, and what else is there besides this statue, then I don't know. But looking at the appearance of the three of them, they must have experienced a lot of hardships. ”
The three of us looked at each other and smiled bitterly, and each other's appearance can only be described as miserable.
The abbot continued: "Before the disappearance, the Chen family left a message asking Master Yinkong to protect the Dust Washing Temple and find a suitable monk to pass on the position of abbot so that it can be kept secret. As for the purpose of this secret, the Chen family did not explain. Since the three of them have discovered the secret, they must also be destined people, if they really want to find out, then continue to explore according to the guidelines, and the old man will not stop him. ”
The fat man said indignantly: "If we knew that this statue was in your house, we should have come directly to your house and smashed the wall open, saving so much energy, and almost dying inside." ”
The abbot clasped his hands together and said: "Don't be angry, the stone wall in the old man's house is made of stainless steel, and the appearance is pretended to be a stone wall, and with some mechanisms, it is really not something that can be broken by simply smashing it open." Besides, there are thirty-two monks in this temple, and if three of them want to smash the wall, I am afraid that the monks will not sit idly by. Besides, if the donor hadn't seen the secret behind the bowlrack, how could he have guessed that there was a hole in the old man's house? ”
The fat man waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I won't argue with you." Master Abbot, have you opened your meal? We're all hungry. ”
The abbot smiled: "Don't worry, don't worry, the old man will take the three to the dining hall." Before you go over, ask the donor to take medicine, otherwise your eyes will be disabled. As he spoke, he found a small box of ointment and handed it to me.
Shirley Yang hurriedly took the ointment and applied it to my eyes, and the itching was immediately reduced a lot. I folded my hands and thanked the abbot and said, "Thank you to the abbot for telling me." The three of us weren't bad guys, but we were tasked with finding a place. Since the abbot didn't stop us, we got on the road as soon as possible. ”
The three of us were so hungry that we went to the dining hall and ate a hard meal, although it was still steamed buns, green vegetables, and gruel, we also felt that it was extremely delicious. Seeing that it was still early, I went back to the meditation room to sleep, and when I woke up, it was already afternoon, and I felt that my body was much more restored. Then he thanked the abbot and stopped an ox cart to return to the county seat.
