Chapter Seventy-Six: The Ghost Temple
"Why can't you say it yourself? Even if you say it, there will be a catastrophe, with the character of the master, you will not harm other uncles to achieve your own goals. Lord Lin, what exactly do you want to say? Hearing such an inexplicable answer, the monk couldn't help but ask.
Lin Yi beckoned to the monk and motioned for him to follow him out of the Scripture Pavilion first, and after the two walked out of the Scripture Pavilion, Lin Yi continued: "Because there is indeed a second murderer in this case, and it is precisely because of this second murderer that your master has to tell me about this matter in this way, and this second murderer is the real murderer who killed your master!" ”
"Then in that case, Master Lin, you can directly tell me who the second murderer is, and I will go to avenge the master!"
Lin Yi shook his head and said, "You listen to me first, the message that your master left me is very dangerous, if I tell you, we will immediately fall into a crisis from which we will never recover, are you sure you want to hear it?" ”
The monk replied without hesitation: "Of course you have to listen!" Master Lin, just talk about it! ”
Lin Yi was very helpless, waved his hand and said, "That's it, even if you tell it, I'm sure you'll be okay, and then let me say, you just have to listen." ”
"Let me tell you from the beginning, when you first met your master, do you remember that your master suddenly said that he was not feeling well, and then asked us to go back first? Maybe you didn't notice that before your master said that, a trace of black qi flashed on his face, and that black qi was not a pathology, but an indescribable evil qi! ”
"Evil spirits? How is it possible, my master is a high-ranking monk."
"Don't interrupt, I'm done."
Lin Yi raised his hand to stop the monk from continuing to speak, and then said, "It is precisely because of the existence of that trace of evil qi that I locked the suspicion on your master at the beginning. Later, when I was resting in my room, I suddenly noticed that someone was watching my movements, but when I went out, I didn't find anyone. ”
"Is this person my master?" The monk couldn't help but talk, and Lin Yi didn't bother to stop him anymore.
"No, I don't think this person is your master, but the murderer of your master. Didn't I come out and stand on the roof of the house at that time, and you still came out and asked me what was the matter? Actually, I was looking for who that person was. ”
"Then, when the alarm bell rang in the evening, when I was suspected by many monks and led everyone to my room to search, a large number of gilded fragments of Buddha statues appeared on the ground. In fact, the person who destroyed the Buddha statue was presided over by your master Huitong, and it was your master himself who put the gilded fragments in front of my door to blame me! ”
Hearing this, the monk couldn't help but ask, "Even if you say so, my master has no grievances with you, so why should he harm you?" ”
"You are wrong, he didn't want to harm me, but to associate me with the matter of the Buddha's head, let me stay in Wuxiang Temple, and continue to find what he wanted to tell me according to his prompts, and then your master also helped me speak?"
The monk carefully recalled the previous situation, and it was indeed as Lin Yi said, so he didn't say anything more.
Lin Yi continued: "Later, it was Huineng's death, which is also an important message that your master gave me, and I only understand it now." ”
"What message can Uncle Huineng's death leave for you? Could it be that Uncle Huineng did something wrong? ”
Lin Yi shook his head and said, "No, this information is very important, I'll tell you later, I'll go through the whole thing with you first." ”
"Huineng's death, according to the previous statement, is according to the first layer of the eighteen layers of hell, tongue pulling hell to die, when Huineng returned to his room, your master immediately ran in to find him, asked him to the back of the rockery outside, and then killed him with one blow, and put the body on the top of the Buddha statue."
Speaking of this, Lin Yi was slightly silent and said: "If I am not mistaken, what he meant by doing that was to let me observe that kind of thing again, but it's a pity that I just observed the way they entered the door, and didn't pay attention to that kind of thing." ”
"What is it?" The monk asked.
Lin Yi turned his head to look in the direction of the main hall and said, "It's the statue of the Buddha in the main hall!" ”
"Then, while we were investigating Hui Neng's death, your master killed Hui Kong again, and disposed of Hui Kong's body in the same way as the second layer of scissors hell in the eighteen layers of hell, and put his body in the hands of the statue of the Buddha Buddha, trying to remind me again of the eighteen layers of hell and the statue of the Buddha."
Lin Yi said, sighed slightly and said: "It's a pity, maybe it's because the reminders twice in a row are too obvious, your master was completely targeted by the second murderer, and on the way to the main hall, he was called away by the second murderer, and then killed in his meditation room, this is how the whole thing happened." ”
Hearing Lin Yi finish the whole thing, the monk thought about it carefully, and didn't notice what Lin Yi said about the message left by his master, and after a moment of silence, he asked, "Master Lin, what message did my master leave for you?" Also, who is the second murderer? ”
Unconsciously, the sky had completely darkened, and I don't know if it was because the two of them didn't pay attention to the time when they spoke, or because the sky was dark instantly, and the two didn't have time to pay attention at all.
Lin Yi looked up at the suddenly darkened sky, and a trace of vigilance gradually appeared in his eyes, and continued: "Your master left me a total of three messages, first, the statue of the god of Rulai. Second, the eighteen layers of hell. Third, it is the generation of disciples in your temple! ”
"Seniority? How do you see that? ”
Lin Yi sneered and said: "This hint is more subtle, you didn't find that every time the disciples who keep vigil are the disciples of your precept generation, but the continuous death of the Hui character generation, but the disciples of the precept generation who are on the scene of the vigil have nothing to do, at most they are just knocked unconscious, before I thought that your master was unwilling to kill innocents indiscriminately, but now it seems that this is also a very important hint." ”
Saying that, Lin Yi picked up a branch on the ground, and then slowly drew a Taiji diagram on the dirt floor, and said: "Although Buddhism and Taoism are different, the rules of heaven and earth are the same, I don't know if you have any research on architectural feng shui?" ”
The monk looked down at the Taiji diagram on the ground, shook his head slightly, and said, "I haven't studied this in depth, because my Buddhists are not very proficient in the art of Qimen Dunjia. ”
Lin Yi sighed helplessly and said, "The matter lies in this architectural feng shui, what your master really wants to tell me is that this Wuxiang Temple has already become a ghost temple!" ”
