Chapter 231: Peeling Back the Cocoon

Monks generally "do not eat at noon", the precepts in the diet are very strict, often eat very poorly, but according to my observation, the old monk is very particular about the diet, as if he cares about nutrition, although they are all vegetarian, but they are all high-calorie food, not the typical vegetarian food eaten in the general temple, it seems that as the old monk said, he is not a monk from his heart, but to avenge the second brother.

After eating, the sun has risen very high, but today is not hot, the old monk's meditation room is at the back of the temple, quite a "winding path leads to a secluded place, the meditation room flowers and trees are deep" artistic conception, here is quiet and shady, the environment is pleasant, the front and rear windows of the room have been opened, a cool breeze blows, feel very comfortable in the house, although we did not sleep all night, but we do not have a trace of sleepiness, the spirit is still very excited, the little monk gave us a few to make tea, and then retreated.

At this time, Li Huizhong gently walked to the old monk's side and asked very respectfully: "Third uncle, are you tired?" If you're tired, take a break? ”

The old monk waved his hand and said: "My old bones are okay, but I haven't slept for three days and three nights, and it doesn't have much impact on me.

"Master, you are polite, in fact, what you said can be regarded as allowing us to broaden our knowledge, but some of the situations you said make me think a lot, after you finish speaking, let's discuss it together, do you think about it?"

The old abbot nodded with a relieved face: "Okay, then I'll go on, these things have been pressed in my heart for decades, depressed in my heart, not vomiting or unhappy, today can be regarded as a few fate, and last night, you and Huizhong, can be regarded as a common life and death tribulation, so, I don't treat you as outsiders, just bury these things in my heart for many years, and tell them out, after listening, everyone also helped me come up with ideas, find out how my second brother died, and analyze, who killed him." ”

Several of us nodded again and again, and the old monk took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and continued:

When the abbot found out that the person's appearance was disguised and that he also had the ability to read minds, he was very worried, because he had heard of this strange person with this ability to read minds, but he had never encountered it, and this person had this ability, and he had to disguise himself as something else, and there must be some ulterior motives. However, fortunately, the abbot had practiced that special kind of meditation, and he had been practicing that kind of meditation for decades, and his skills were profound, so his ability to control the mind was extremely strong, so the abbot felt that what he was thinking and thinking could not be easily spied on.

From that time on, the man came often, and every time he came, the abbot quietly talked to the man. After some time, the two became more acquainted, and the man told the abbot the real purpose of his coming here.

The man said that the location of this temple is very special, and it is right on the 'yin vein' of this mountain. And the 'yin vein' of this mountain is very special, because at the end of the month and one day, a certain position on the yin vein, there will be a crack, along this gap, you can enter the hole inside the mountain, and there are a lot of gold and silver treasures, these treasures are the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, a noble lady's funeral goods.

The abbot was taken aback when he heard him say this. Because the abbot has been in the temple for decades, he has never seen any place in the temple, and a crack will appear for no reason.

When he told the man about his doubts. The man just smiled slightly and said, the yin vein of this mountain is very wonderful, not fixed, but changes every seven years, that is, the position of the yin vein of the mountain, every seven years, will change, and in the autumn of that year, the position of the yin vein of the mountain will be transferred to the temple, and even the location of the cracks, the man has already predicted. He also pointed out to the abbot where the crack appeared, and said that he would donate money to the temple to repair and build a house, and where the crack appeared, the house must be built, and when it is built, the location of the crack must be in the house, so that the crack will not be discovered by other people in the temple.

The abbot was skeptical of the strange things that the man said, but the man did donate a lot of money to repair the existing houses of the monastery, and built many new houses, one of which was built in the location he said, and the abbot himself lived in this house, but the crack that the man said never appeared.

It was at the end of the seventh month of that year that the man came again suddenly, and in the evening, and he mysteriously told the abbot that he had reckoned that the crack would appear here for the first time tonight, and that he would wait in the abbot's house. The abbot was also surprised, and when he saw that the man was so sure, he also wanted to see what was going on.

The two of them chatted and waited in the room, but as usual, every time they chatted, the person didn't seem to want to talk deeply, neither talking about his own life experience, nor his own experience, just talking about some medicinal materials on the mountain, where the medicinal material business is easier to do, and the efficacy of some medicinal materials, etc., anyway, they are not salty or light.

It was about midnight when the man took out his pocket watch and looked at it, and said that the time was almost up, and he got up and went to a place in the middle of the house, and the abbot followed closely, and after a short time he heard a strange tremor in the ground, and then a crack really slowly appeared.

This also made the abbot greatly shocked, even though the abbot was well-informed and knowledgeable, but this was the first time he had seen such a thing, and he had never even heard of it before, and the abbot suddenly felt that this person was unusual. Before the abbot could come to his senses, the man went into the crack of the black hole and disappeared without a sound.

And on the last day of the end of the next month, the man miraculously came to the monastery again, and that night he did the same and got into the crack. From now on, at the end of every month, on the first day of the month, that man will come here.

After listening to what the abbot said, I was also very surprised, but in addition to being surprised, I suddenly thought of something--did the treasure in the cave that the man said have something to do with the kind of gold and silver parcels that our Li family obtained? And when we take the treasure, it happens to be the last day of the month, is there any connection between the two? Also, is the cave where the treasure is hidden the same as the cave where Aunt Cuihua was imprisoned?

In addition to this, there is another point that puzzles me, that is, why did the abbot sue me for this, and even knew that I was eavesdropping under the window?

When I asked the abbot about this, the abbot sighed and explained why.

After having more contact with that person, for some reason, the abbot always felt that there was a terrifying fierce light hidden in the gaze behind that person's glasses. And the man also coerced, asking the abbot to exchange the treasure he had obtained for the ocean and then hand it over to him, and the abbot had tentatively asked the man why he didn't change it himself, which made the man angry, not only did not answer the abbot, but also viciously threatened the abbot that if the abbot did not do what he said, he would kill all the monks in the temple.

The abbot had no choice but to compromise on everything, because he knew that this man's skills were unfathomable, he was not his opponent at all, and this man also had a super ability to read minds, which was an extremely difficult opponent to deal with. The abbot has lived for such a long time, and it is the first time that I have been so coerced, so I feel very painful, and he saw that I am smart and clever, and I am down-to-earth and reliable, so he wants me to be his helper and help him fight with that person, so that he taught me that special meditation method, so that my mind does not leak out, so that the person cannot see my heart, and after listening to this, I know that the abbot is really well-intentioned. ”

When my cousin heard this, he suddenly interrupted the old monk's words and asked the old monk seriously about the approximate years and months of this incident, which made us a little confused, and we didn't understand why my cousin wanted to know the date of this incident.

After hearing the old monk's answer, my cousin turned his head and said to us: "Do you think that this incident that the master said happened in the year or two after the feng shui master and the old Taoist priest hunted and killed the high blind man, because the high blind man was recognized by the old Taoist priest when he exchanged huàn in the silver trumpet, so in the next year or two, the high blind man had palpitations about going to the silver trumpet to exchange huàn in person, so he threatened the old abbot to redeem huàn for him, this is my speculation, do you think so?" ”

It was only after my cousin said this that we connected these two things, and yes, my cousin's speculation was reasonable, and it was probably so.

However, the old monk and Li Huizhong next to him were confused and didn't know what we were talking about.

"Tall blind? Who is the blind man", the old monk asked a little confused.

A few of us cousins told us a lot of things about the blind man in as much detail as possible, and at this time, the old monk and Li Huizhong were stunned.

After talking about it, several of us repeatedly sorted out the ins and outs of these things, and unanimously speculated that nine times out of ten, the mysterious person who often came to the temple was Gao Blind.

After listening to us talk about the blind man so much, the old monk realized how high the skills of that mysterious person are, how ruthless his heart is, and how twists and turns his experience is.

However, Li Huizhong, who had been sitting next to him and listening silently, suddenly said: "If it is really like what Teacher Wang said, then this blind man is still related to our Li family!" ”

After he reminded us like this, we all couldn't help but be stunned - yes, Li Huizhong was right, that blind man was also born to Zhang's family, and he was the same father as Li Xiaotong, a half-brother, and the old monk and Li Huizhong were both descendants of Li Xiaotong! Heck, that's complicated enough.

The old monk lowered his head and pondered for a while, and then suddenly said: "I seem to understand, the one who sent the treasure to our Li family in this strange way may be this blind man, although it is not necessarily him who sent it in person every time, and it is also possible that he is the mastermind behind the scenes."

Why do you give treasures to the descendants of our Li family? It is likely that she obeyed the will of our ancestor Mrs. Zhang, and she was the biological mother of the blind man, and the blind man may have to carry out the will of the old lady Zhang because of this feeling, and he did not dare to discount it; But because his own father, who was the Jew, was killed by our Li family, he and our Li family have a bitter hatred for killing their father, so based on this complicated relationship, he not only sent treasures to the descendants of our Li family, but also invented all kinds of taboos, and kept slaughtering and frightening us descendants of the Li family.

Hearing the old monk's analysis, we couldn't help but secretly admire, and felt that his analysis was really reasonable, if this is the case, then will the death of the old monk's second brother also be related to the blind man?
