The next day, I asked the company for leave, saying that I wanted to go home to visit relatives, and the department manager was surprisingly happy, gave me a week off on the spot, and paid me a salary in advance, and told me that if the family can't finish it, there is no need to rush back.

I understand that the subtext of this guy is actually to say: You'd better not come back......

With a smile on my face, I took the envelope from my manager and quietly raised my middle finger to him with my hand underneath.

The next day, I got on the car to return home, back to the long-lost temple, when I stood at the gate of the temple, my heart was full of emotion, since I left home at the age of eighteen to now, about four or five years have not returned, I don't know, what happened to my master who is a fan of wealth.

Walking into the temple, looking at the bleak and dilapidated doors and windows in the temple, I was very emotional, after a few years, this big temple has been dilapidated.

If it weren't for the tender green shoots of the old locust tree in the temple, which gave this temple a trace of vitality, I almost thought that the master had traveled westward with a crane......

In the middle of the small square is a floating tower, in front of the main hall is the main hall, I looked at the time, it is noon, if nothing else, the master should be in the main hall to make a noon offering.

I walked to the main hall, and when I arrived at the front of the hall, I stopped in front of the merit box, and I couldn't help but laugh low in my mind as I couldn't help but think of the past of stealing money from the merit box when I was a child.

I was reminiscing about the past, when suddenly a figure floated in front of me, and out of the corner of my eye, I saw that it seemed to be a woman in a skirt, and her steps were in a hurry, and she just passed me, and went straight up the steps to the main hall.

I basically knew the people in this village, and I looked up to see who it was, but I was stunned for a moment, and saw that the front of the main hall was empty, and there was not even half a figure.

It's strange, it's just a blink of an eye, why is the woman gone?

I wondered in my heart, walked up to the main hall, and shouted inside: "Master, I'm coming back to see you." ”

The midday sun was cast in front of the main hall, but the inside of the hall was dimly lit, and I couldn't see the situation clearly, and after I shouted, a familiar old voice answered: "Come in......

Hearing the master's answer, I was relieved, so I stepped in.

It was a little cold in the main hall, and I saw that the master was sitting cross-legged in front of the Buddha statue, with his eyes closed and his head bowed, his hands folded, and some offerings in front of him. I haven't seen him in the past few years, he is already like frost, he is a little older, and he has lost some weight, but his face is full of red light, it seems that in the past few years, he has not treated himself badly.

I stepped forward and put a few fruits and pastries next to me, and then went to the Buddha to offer incense, kowtow, and bowed three times, and then bowed to him, and said with a smile: "Master, it's all because I have no interest, and I haven't come back to see you for a few years." ”

Only then did the master open his eyes, first glanced to the side, then squinted at me, sighed and said, "Alas, the master is old, it's rare that you still think about me and know that you will come back once." ”

I helped him stand up, remembered what had just happened, and asked tentatively, "Master, I saw a woman come in just now, where are the people?" ”

The master's face changed slightly: "What, did you see someone coming in?" ”

I shook my head and said, "Actually, I didn't see it clearly, it passed in a flash, and there was no one to look for it again, maybe it was because I was dazzled." ”

The master didn't say anything more, but his face showed a puzzled look, looked at me a few times, and suddenly stretched out his thumb and pressed it my forehead, and asked me, "Does it hurt?" ”

He's just talking nonsense, who doesn't hurt if he presses so hard? I didn't know what he meant, so I just nodded and said, "It hurts, it hurts." ”

"Do you feel any tingling?" The master asked.

"Nope." I answered honestly.

"Oh, then your eyes shouldn't be ......opened," the master muttered to himself, his face seemed to show a little disappointment, I was a little speechless, he still remembered the opening of the eyes of heaven?

He was silent, looked up at the four corners of the main hall, his face suddenly changed, and he instructed me: "Go and close the door of the temple at once, and don't talk in a mess." ”

Close the door? What is this going to do, I was stunned for a moment, and I saw him sitting cross-legged on the ground, prostrating in front of the Buddha, and suddenly reciting the Diamond Sutra aloud.

This King Kong, I have been accustomed to hearing since I was a child, it is said that there is the power of subduing demons, but at this moment, the master suddenly recited the scriptures for no reason, which made me very puzzled, stunned for a while, before remembering the matter of closing the door, hurriedly ran to the door of the main hall, and laboriously closed the two doors, but the gate was in disrepair, and it was not closed tightly, so I leaned on the door, looked back at the master blankly, did not dare to move, and did not dare to speak.

After the master read a few verses, his voice became more and more urgent, and he suddenly reached out to the corner of the hall and pointed to it, and then picked up the mallet and struck it the wooden fish in front of him.

"Tuk!"

The wooden fish made a loud noise, echoing in the hall, and my eyes widened, and I saw that something fell from the master's finger, as if something had fallen with a thud.

I was taken aback and ran over, but when I looked down, there was nothing on the ground, only a faint puddle of water.

I was stunned, looked up and said, "Master, this is ......"

The master exhaled slowly, folded his hands, walked over to take a look, shook his head and said, "Ran away." ”

"Ran away? What ran away? I asked, puzzled.

The master did not speak, but pointed to the door, and when I turned my head to look, I saw that there was a crack in the door of the temple, and a ray of heavenly light shone in from the outside, but I saw nothing.

The master shook his head again, sighed and said, "Alas, I said a long time ago that the big temple should be repaired, and now even this door is not closed tightly." However, this is also its fate. ”

"What kind of life should not be extinguished, master, what is it that came in just now?" I've already guessed something, the woman who disappeared in a flash just now must not be a good type.

The master didn't answer, walked to the door, squinted and looked out, shook his head and said: "The way of the world has really changed, at noon, I dare to come to remember the Buddha's offerings, alas, it seems that it is really time to cultivate the golden body of the Buddha, otherwise, even the Buddha will not come to manifest, and the people will suffer again." ”

This old money fan, I have already heard from his words, this is the repair of the temple and the golden body, which is a hint that I should take the money.

I didn't bother to think about it, anyway, he didn't fool me less since I was a child. I stepped forward to help him open the door of the temple and said to him, "Master, actually, I really brought you 100,000 yuan back this time." ”

"Really?" The master's eyes lit up, "Ah, then like that, Amitabha, good, good, good......"

I interrupted him: "Don't be kind first, this 100,000 yuan is true, but it hasn't been cashed yet, in fact, I got something by accident, and I want to ask you to show it, what is this thing and how much is it worth?" ”

As I spoke, I took out the jade pendant that made me happy and worried, and handed it to the master.

The master lowered his head and only glanced at it, but suddenly his face changed greatly, and he hurriedly asked me, "Where did this thing come from?" ”

I smiled bitterly, and told the master exactly what had happened in the past few days, and after listening to me, he frowned, did not speak, reached out and grabbed the jade pendant, and after a little look, he stuffed it back into my hand, and waved his hand again and again: "Quick, where did you come from, and send it back." ”

His voice was hurried, and he looked very uneasy, and I said helplessly: "Master, the problem is that I can't send it back now." ”

The master frowned, paced a few steps in the room, and suddenly stomped his feet and said, "How did you get into this wrong......

"What the hell is this?" I asked uneasily, and the master glanced at the jade pendant twice, sighed and said, "Do you remember what the master told you about the hunchback coffin of the old river ditch?" ”

I was surprised: "Master, don't you mean to say that this jade pendant was dug up from the hunchback coffin at the bottom of the river......"

Halfway through my words, the master frowned, was silent, and did not answer me directly, and only after a while did he speak: "Originally, the master had two methods, one was to worship in the big temple, but the master is now old and doesn't want to do these things anymore." The second is where did you come from and where did you send it, but you said that you couldn't send it back, so ......"

The master hesitated, then asked me to take off my clothes, I did as he said, the master walked behind me and looked at me, and told me to go to the mirror, I looked into the mirror, and I couldn't help but gasp, and I was almost shocked.

I saw behind me, and at some point, there were spots of mildew.

The master said that on the day when the old ditch was filled, the man who kowtowed and died suddenly had exactly the same mildew on his body as on my body.

This is yin poison, and it is also a type of corpse spot.

If you count the days of that year, I only have more than half a month.

The master sighed and said, "It seems that now you can only open the tower, please the ancestor." ”
