I stood up and followed the abbot to a meditation room.

The abbot's face was solemn: "Xu You, what do you think of this person?" "

I thought about it: "It doesn't look like a bad guy, but it feels like he has a lot of secrets." "

The abbot nodded: "Anyway, you should be careful." "

The two of us found a random monk's robe and took it out.

When we returned to the main hall, we saw Zhang Yuan sitting cross-legged on the futon, exercising with his eyes closed. The abbot and I didn't dare to disturb and stood aside and watched quietly.

After a while, his pale face had a slight color of blood. That's when I realized that he wasn't young anymore. I didn't see anything in his pale face just now, but when he finally gained a little popularity, I noticed that his face was already tired.

Then, he opened his eyes and took the monk's robe from the monk's hand and changed it on. Immediately, he pulled his long hair into a bun.

After doing all this, he asked us with great concern: "Have you had dinner?" "

The abbot and I both shook our heads.

Zhang Yuan's eyes suddenly widened and he shouted, "Then why don't you go cook quickly?" "

The abbot didn't let out a single fart, and he went to cook with a fart.

Then he instructed me, "Go outside the temple and burn the coffin." "

I looked back at the black coffin and was startled. The coffin, which was originally shiny and well-preserved, was mottled with black paint and a large amount of peeling off in just one hour, and those wooden planks also appeared to rot.

I tried to move the coffin out, but with a tug, a wooden board was pulled off. By the time I dragged the coffin out of the pit, it was already a pile of rotten wood, and it didn't look like it was at all.

I looked at Zhang Yuan in surprise: "Master, what's going on?" "

Zhang Yuan glanced at the wood: "My essence is attached to the coffin, and this coffin is equivalent to a living person, and it will not be bad after more than ten years." Now that I've found my body, it's a piece of wood again, and it's rotten. "

I nodded, carried the wood outside the temple, lit a fire, and started to burn.

The rotten wood was difficult to burn, and the fire was very small, emitting a lot of smoke, and drifted to the stinky river outside the temple, mixing with the stench of the river water.

I suddenly remembered that the thin Taoist priest had recruited water ghosts, and I couldn't help but shudder, quicken my pace, and fled back to the temple.

When I went back, the abbot and Zhang Yuan were eating. I noticed that Zhang Yuan seemed to be very uncomfortable with these meals, and each bite had to be chewed for a long time before he could swallow it. For more than ten minutes, I only ate two bites.

After dinner, it was almost midnight. When the abbot and I saw that there was nothing wrong, we went back to our room and went to sleep.

It was a very unsound sleep. I woke up countless times during the night. Every time, I can see Zhang Yuan standing upright in the courtyard, I don't know what Lu Dao is thinking.

After getting up the next day, the monk did not open the temple door to do business. Because there is also an earthen pit in the main hall. Zhang Yuan occupied it and didn't let us fill it in.

All morning, as if he were a clay sculpture, he had been sitting on the futon with his eyes closed. I didn't mean to teach my apprentice a bit of Taoism at all.

I thought about it for a while, and said to my father-in-law, "I'll go back to school, bring the contract, and let's sign it." "

The abbot was a little surprised: "What contract?" "

I said lightly: "The contract to buy insurance, you promised me yesterday." "

The abbot was speechless.

I said to Zhang Yuan, "Master, I'll go back to school and get something." "

Zhang Yuan still closed his eyes, but the corners of his mouth rose, revealing a ghostly smile: "Go ahead." "

This smile made my whole body tremble, it was too evil.

After leaving the Great Holy Temple, I suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and finally escaped from Zhang Yuan, I felt like I had been released from prison.

I waved to a taxi: "Go to Shanda." "

The master who opened the taxi turned his head and glanced at me: "Little brother, your complexion is not very good, you are grizzled, and it has not been going well recently." "

I was shocked by this, and I couldn't help but think of Master's words just now. However, I was quickly relieved, probably because I hadn't slept well in the past two days, and it was a wild ghost and a dead man's toss, so I looked tired.

Taxis were speeding all the way, and soon, the gates of our school were in front of us. At this time, I touched my pocket and couldn't help but scream: "It's bad, I don't have any money with me." "

Seeing that the driver has slowly stopped at the school gate. At this time, I was in a hurry, reached out and opened the car door, and ran towards the school with an arrow step.

It took the driver ten seconds to react before he came back to his senses, and chased after him with a curse. But I'm mostly familiar with the mountains, and after a few turns, I got rid of this kid.

The dormitory manager was sitting at the door of the dormitory building, and when she saw me coming from a distance, she glared at me fiercely, and I was not to be outdone, and glared back directly.

When I was about to enter the door, a person suddenly came out and grabbed me: "Xu You? Are you all right? After so many days of not seeing you, I thought you were dead, and I was going to summon your spirit. "

As soon as I heard that this was all nonsense, I turned my head and saw that it was a thin Taoist.

I touched the scabs on my body, which were already starting to scab, nodded and said, "It's almost there." "

I thought for a moment and said to him, "We've found the man you said you were talking about." "

Then, I told him how the coffin was dug up, how Zhang Yuan was buried under the ghost market, and how I worshipped the teacher, and told him what had happened.

After hearing this, the thin Taoist priest was envious: "If only I could apprentice, when will you take me to meet him?" "

I rejoiced: "Okay, then you are my junior brother, Ha Luha." "

The two of us were laughing at the door of the building, when suddenly, I felt a pair of hands grab my collar violently, and then shouted: "Boy, so you are here?" "

I glanced back, and couldn't help but say with a bitter face: "Master, I didn't have any money with me, didn't I get money for you?" "

The taxi driver was furious, glared at me and said, "Lao Tzu has delayed for so long in order to arrest you, and I can do three jobs with this effort." You get double the money. "

I had to nod my head again and again: "Double, double." "

Seeing my embarrassment, the thin Taoist priest estimated that he knew that I had no money on me, so he simply took out a few tickets from his pocket and helped me put them on.

The dormitory was empty, and I hadn't come back for a few days, which made it even more dirty and messy. I took out the contract from a pile of waste paper, kicked it in my pocket, and then rushed back to the Great Holy Temple with the thin Taoist priest.

When he returned to the temple, Zhang Yuan was still doing his work cross-legged, and the abbot was bored and sat on the stool in a daze.

I walked over and patted him on the shoulder: "You have electricity in this temple, buy a TV, don't you have to be so boring?" "

The abbot shook his head: "The place where Buddhism cultivates is to stretch wires and watch TV." If it comes out to make people talk nonsense, how bad is the impact? "

I shook my head: "Why are you a fake monk so dedicated?" Many real monks outside will go online. Alright, stop talking nonsense, hurry up and sign and draw. As I spoke, I pulled out the contract.

I was talking nonsense with the abbot, and the thin Taoist priest was not idle, he looked at Zhang Yuan with reverence, and said, "Master, can you accept me as an apprentice?" "

Zhang Yuan's eyes slowly opened, and he really looked like a master: "Little Taoist." "

The thin Taoist priest hurriedly agreed nervously.

Zhang Yuan continued: "According to the rules of this sect, in our faction, everyone must accept an apprentice. Moreover, only one apprentice can be accepted. Now that Xu You has apprenticed, I can't accept you anymore. "

The thin Taoist priest looked depressed and looked like he was about to cry.

However, Zhang Yuan said slowly: "But"

The thin Taoist priest immediately ignited hope, leaned over, and asked earnestly, "But what?" "

Zhang Yuan looked at him and said slowly, "However, you stay here for two days first." Let me see how it goes. "

The thin Taoist priest was so excited that he almost knelt down for Zhang Yuan.

All day, he gathered around Zhang Yuan, and kept asking how to summon ghosts and how to draw talismans. Zhang Yuan always looked unfathomable, and he couldn't answer a single sentence of ten questions, and even if he answered, it was covered with clouds and mountains, and his words were unknown.

At dinnertime, Zhang Yuan stood up after two or three more bites, and when he passed by me, he suddenly leaned down and said in a very small voice: "Tonight, the teacher will teach you the first lesson, and you have to learn by heart." Then, he snorted at the thin Taoist priest with a mysterious face.

I looked at him nervously: "What are you going to do?" "

But he didn't answer me, and walked slowly outside the temple.

I can see that Zhang Yuan behaves obediently and never plays cards according to common sense. There may be some new tricks tonight that want to fix me.

I finished my meal and lay down on the bed nervously.

Then, wait for Zhang Yuan to come to me.

The night was quiet, it was early spring, and it was still a little cold. Insects don't fly, birds don't call. I listened to my own breathing and felt my heartbeat. Getting nervous.

In ancient times, the concubines bathed and changed their clothes, stripped naked, and then were wrapped in brocade quilts by the little eunuchs and carried to the emperor's bedroom. Nervously and expectantly, he waited for the emperor to come in.

Tonight, I feel a bit like those concubines, except that I am only nervous, not expectant.

I don't know how long Lu Dao waited, but Zhang Yuan never came. I felt a little tormented in my heart, and I couldn't help but think: "No matter what tricks there are, let me try them quickly, and go to bed early after tossing, so that I am scared, and it is too bad." "

Then, while scolding in my heart, my consciousness began to blur. Then, he fell asleep.

I don't know how long I slept. Suddenly, I heard something outside. I couldn't sleep soundly, but as soon as the sound sounded, I woke up immediately.

I was overjoyed: "It's finally here?" "

However, when I listened with my ears sideways, there was no movement. I rolled over, intending to go back to sleep, but at this moment, a rush of urine came to me.
