56. Calling for help
Because Cheng Jun is the name of the Dabao monk, he has a high rank and a higher cultivation, even if the abbot is the master of a temple, he doesn't dare to say the word summons, he always comes to visit. Cheng Jun returned to his lower place, and the elder had been waiting for a long time.
Cheng Jun came in and saw that there were all kinds of people, in addition to the abbot, there was also a group of people following behind. In addition to the elders, the monks who had duties in the temple, Wiener, and the first seat all came, and when they saw Cheng Jun, they bowed together.
Cheng Jun was secretly surprised in his heart, it seems that the matter today is not small, because the people are too complete, except for the characters who escaped from exile in Wanma Temple, the real power figures in the temple are all here.
When the monks saw him come in, from the elder down, they bowed together, but except for the abbot elder, the other monks were not very respectful, and the supervisor and the first seat were especially rude.
Cheng Jun has been in the top position for a long time, although everyone saluted, he didn't feel anything, and he returned the salute a little and asked the elder to sit down, and the others didn't give up their seats, and said, "What's the matter with the elder?"
The elder said, "Amitabha, my nephew is here for a major event in the temple. According to his seniority, he should call the Dabao monk uncle, "That's the case, the master and nephew take care of the Wanma Temple, and there is no dispute with the world for a hundred years." I thought that there was no big deal to be quiet and self-controlled, but after the bullying of the demon road, I knew that if there was no skill in the body and was oppressed, the mountain gate of the Ten Thousand Horse Temple could not be guarded. It is also necessary to ask the monks to practice martial arts to protect themselves. ”
Cheng Jun didn't answer, the abbot had vaguely mentioned before, and wanted to ask his uncle to pass on the monk's magic and martial arts, but Cheng Jun refused under the pretext of qualification, this time when it came to this topic again, Cheng Jun expected that he would not just bring up the old things again, so he didn't answer and listened to him continue.
The elder said: "When the master and nephew were hiding outside, the hall master surnamed Hui once said that he had a way to obtain a set of martial arts to protect the temple, but it was far away and he needed to get it in person. The nephew was very happy at the time, and sent him to take the two nephews to ask for it, but he knew that after a few months, he would never return, and there was no news from him, and the nephew thought he was ......" said for a while.
Cheng Jun said in his heart: You must think that he donated money and ran away, that is also common, presumably this kind of thing happened a lot at that time.
The elder continued: "The surname Hui is proficient in Buddhism, and he is a virtuous monk, but he is also a poor monk who misunderstood in a hurry. Who knew that yesterday suddenly a letter came, and the letter was from Qinshan Temple in Tongfeng County. The elder of Qinshan Temple said in the letter that the nephew surnamed Hui had passed away in Qinshan Temple. As he spoke, his hands were folded, and several monks proclaimed the Buddha's slogan together: "Amitabha." ”
The elder continued: "The Dharma body of the monk surnamed Daohui in the temple has been cremated first, and there are still relics left, please send someone to retrieve the ashes and relics." ”
Cheng Jun sighed and said, "Then let's go." ”
The elder looked embarrassed and said, "Originally, it was a great thing to welcome back the ashes of the surname Hui, and I should do it quickly." But the letter was not just a message about it, it was also a plea for help. The surname Hui is not sitting, but after he suddenly visited Qinshan Temple, he was already seriously injured at that time, and only explained a few words, and passed away in a few days. After his death, several Taoist people with magical powers surrounded Qinshan Temple, asking them to hand over the Dharma body and relics of the nephew surnamed Hui, and if they did not hand it over, they would set fire to the temple. The elder over there immediately repaired the book and said that we should send someone over to deal with this matter immediately, and if no one arrives within a month, they will not be able to care about the feelings of the same way. ”
Cheng Jun sighed and said, "Then Qinshan Temple is in Tongfeng County, where is the road far away, what is their relationship with Wanma Temple?"
The elder said: "That's not true, the two temples have never had any contact, but the surname Hui used to place orders there." ”
When Cheng Jun heard this, he hummed softly and was silent.
The elder was a little worried in his heart, although the senior uncle in front of him had a young face, but in the end he was a figure who was a generation older than himself, his gestures were incomprehensible, he could be called not angry and self-assured, he was also very jealous in his heart, at this time Cheng Jun didn't speak, and he didn't dare to say more.
After a while, Cheng Jun said: "Then did Qinshan Temple send someone to report the news, or did it send a letter?"
The elder said, "It's an epistle." ”
Cheng Jun said: "Lend me a look." ”
The elder was stunned for a moment before he said, "Okay." It happened that the letter was placed in his sleeve, and he took it out and handed it to Cheng Jun.
Cheng Jun didn't take it and didn't look at it carefully, glanced at it, oh, and said, "Then who are you going to send?"
The elder was stunned, and said in his heart: "What you asked, aren't we going to send you?" But he couldn't say it directly, his eyes roamed around the faces of several people behind him for a while, and wherever he looked, all the monks bowed their heads one after another, and finally he said: "The Taoist who surrounds Qinshan Temple is very powerful, and we will only have some superficial martial arts. Still is...... I don't know if my uncle is willing to go, and my nephew will send the temple to serve all the way?"
The prison temple was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Abbot, I ......"
The elder ignored him and asked, "What does Uncle Shi think?"
Cheng Jun's expression was faint, and he said, "Qinshan Temple said, how many enemies are there?"
The elder said, "It's just two Daoists, with four or five Dao boys. The abbot over there said that although a few people were fierce, they didn't seem to be descendants of the Daomen, they were just evil ways in scattered cultivation, and they were not great monks, they must be at most Jianghu warlocks. "Although he is not a monk, he is old and well-informed, and he also understands the division of Taoism and sects.
Cheng Jun sighed and said, "That's okay, let the air endure ...... And this overseer followed me all the way. ”
When the elder heard this, his heart was overjoyed, his face was calm, and he said, "There is Uncle Lao." He turned his head to the temple and said, "Huishan's nephew, you must serve your uncle diligently along the way." As he spoke, he stood up and motioned for the monks to go out. The monks went out with a bit of schadenfreude, leaving only the Huishan Mountain of the Prison Temple to remain in place.
Cheng Jun said lazily: "Huishan, when are we leaving?"
Huishan was afraid, that was because he was going out to face the enemy, afraid that he would lose his life, he was actually not afraid of Cheng Jun, the ancestor who came out of nowhere, rolled his eyelids, and said, "When you want to go, you can go." I'm going to leave tomorrow, and I'm fine anyway. ”
Cheng Jun was not annoyed, and waved his hand: "Then you go and arrange it." Let's go down. ”
Huishan saw that he was arrogant and despised himself, his face turned blue with anger, he flicked his sleeves and left angrily, and said in his heart: Serve you, good you are a wild ghost who came out of nowhere to deceive people, and you can be a senior in the temple, and dare to support the Buddha when you go out?
When everyone was gone, the black cat that the old ghost had turned into jumped up lightly and said, "I see that there is a deception in it." ”
Cheng Jun said: "How can you see it?"
The old devil said: "That monk temple has nothing to do with this side, and is forced to come to the door by a person with magical powers, then it will be so kind, and he still risks burning the temple, refusing to hand over the bones and relics of a dead monk? ”
Cheng Jun said: "Even if there is fraud in it, can you tell what kind of fraud there is?"
The old devil said: "Then you still need to ask, the thieves of Wanma Temple are uneasy and kind." The matter of Qinshan Temple is either an excuse that happened to happen, or they simply made it up, and they want to use this matter to spend you. Or they are harboring evil intentions and planning to plot against you outside. Or they want to do something on their own, they think you are an eyesore, and they use things to transfer you away, so that they can do their own business. ”
Cheng Jun said: "This is also a guess. I also think there is something wrong with Manma Temple. However, there is another possibility, the strangeness of the matter did not come from Wanma Temple. ”
The old demon said: "From Qinshan Temple?"
Cheng Jun shook his fingers, and the letter asking for help unfolded in the wind, and suddenly, a trace of fire burned from the letter, and in the blink of an eye, the letter paper had been burned into a flame.
In a moment, the flame was extinguished, and the letter paper had turned into paper ashes and fell to the ground one after another, but Cheng Jun still had a piece of paper in his hand. The paper was only the size of the original letter paper, and although it came from the fire, it was unscathed, glowing with a faint golden light.
The old devil was surprised and said: "Sure enough, there is a mystery in it, this letter paper is hidden in the original letter paper, and it has to be burned to show its true form." What's written about this?"
Cheng Jun looked down at the letter, frowned slightly, and said, "This is still a letter asking for help, which is similar to what was said outside." ”
The old devil said, "Then they are crazy? One thing is said over and over again, and they are playing this trick." ”
Cheng Jun said: "But there is one difference, the recipient of this letter is the Dabao monk. ”
The old demon was stunned and said, "Who? Who still knows Monk Dabao?"
Cheng Jun said: "It must be one of his colleagues, who wanted to ask him for assistance, but couldn't find his whereabouts, so he tried to send a letter to Wanma Temple, but unfortunately there is no Dabao monk in this world." ”
The old devil said: "In this case, you impostor has a flaw." Are you going to kill your mouth?"
Cheng Jun shook his head and said: "That's not enough, is there anything great about the identity of Dabao Monk, so that he won't go all the way to extinguish his mouth." I was looking, the place of Qinshan Temple is not far from Luzhou, if I send the little monk over this time, maybe I won't have to go again in two years. He smiled and raised his hand, and said, "Although the big mystery of this matter is in Qinshan Temple, I think this Wanma Temple also has a small abacus." Maybe like you said, they're going to keep me out of the way. I'm just as they wish, anyway, except for the little monks, what does it matter to me what the Wanma Temple has become? Let them go, wait for me to come back, if it is still to my liking, then it should not have happened, if it is not as good as I want, it will not be too late for me to clean up. ”
