Luohan looked innocent, as if he didn't know what was going on.

He laughed and said, "Master, I don't know. ”

"Maybe it's like Master often said, birth, old age, sickness and death are normal natural phenomena."

"Maybe this tree...... His life was up, and therefore went. ”

Master: "......"

He muttered, "It's impossible, when I looked at it two days ago, the tree was still alive and full of life." ”

"Why did all of a sudden this tree die? Weird, weird, weird. ”

"There must be a reason for this."

When Master said this, he suddenly turned his head to look at Arhat and said, "It's strange, your recent cultivation seems to have increased a lot." ”

Luo Han coughed dryly and said, "Is there one?" ”

Master hummed and said, "Yes." Look at how pure your soul is now, and you're almost on the verge of catching up with your teacher. ”

Luo Han laughed dryly and said, "Master has won the prize." The apprentice is still far away from being a teacher......"

Master said, "Your cultivation has risen dramatically recently, and this tree ...... Suddenly he died. Is there a connection between the two? ”

Luo Han was startled, and hurriedly said, "It shouldn't be related." The apprentice doesn't know anything about it. ”

The master hummed lightly, and didn't seem to take it to heart.

He said to the Arhat, "But the tree died suddenly, and there is definitely something wrong with it. ”

Luo Han looked at the master strangely and said, "You old man, why are you entangled in this tree anyway?" ”

Luohan's master sighed and said, "In the past, when my master was still there, he once explained that this tree was very important. ”

"If it lives, all will be fine. If it doesn't grow well, it's a disaster. ”

"It's good now, I'm just dead. This...... This ......"

Rohan was silent.

Apparently he was a little panicked.

Luohan's master pondered for a while, and seemed to have finally made up his mind.

He said to Luohan, "We two masters, we must study this place clearly today. ”

Luo Han laughed dryly, nodded again and again, and said, "Yes, yes, yes, you have to study it clearly." ”

The Arhat's master said, "Since this tree is dead, let's dig it up and see what is in it and what is going on down there." ”

Rohan scratched his head.

But he didn't dare to disobey the master's words, so he had to agree, took out two shovels, one for each person, and began to dig trees.

Suddenly, there was a bang.

A huge linden tree fell to the ground.

Both Luohan and Master were shocked.

The master looked at the Bodhi tree and said suspiciously, "What's the matter...... Why did you fall down all of a sudden? ”

"Doesn't this tree have roots?"

Luo Han whispered, "Master, the roots of this tree seem to have died a long time ago. ”

The master squatted down and studied for a while, nodded slowly, and said, "Yes, the roots of the tree have long since died. ”

"There must be something underground, first the roots of the tree die, and then the branches and leaves die."

"That's supposed to be a poison, buried right down there."

Subsequently, the two men began to dig.

When the bang.

They dug up something.

The two men carefully pulled out the floating earth, and then they saw the stone box carved out of white jade.

Inside the box there was a vague black shadow one day, apparently containing something.

Luo Han said, "Master, there is a treasure buried underneath. ”

The master shook his head and said, "If it's really a baby, will it poison the Bodhi tree?" ”

"It's not a treasure, it's an evil thing."

Rohan: "Oh......"

Master said, "Come, you help Master, bring this thing up first, and let's see what kind of sacredness it is." ”

Luo Han answered, and the two of them snorted and panted, and carried the stone box up.

The master put his hand on the stone box, took a deep breath, and said, "What a heavy evil spirit. ”

Then, he shook his head again and said, "No, it's not evil spirit, it's resentment. ”

Immediately afterwards, the master said, "No, this resentment is superficial, not from the inside of the box. ”

Then, the master crouched down and grabbed a handful of dirt.

He frowned and said, "Inside this soil...... There is a lot of resentment. ”

"It should be these grievances that have been contaminated on the box."

"Perhaps, it is also these grievances that poisoned this Bodhi tree."

"But how can there be so much resentment in this soil?"

Luo Han took the opportunity to say, "Master, I suddenly have a new idea. ”

"If it's not us monks, generation after generation, who always repent here, our resentment and obsession will fall into the dirt."

"This dirt was soaked in resentment all day long, and finally formed a toxin, and then poisoned this linden tree to death?"

Luohan's master nodded and said, "Makes sense, makes sense." ”

Then he glanced at the Arhat and said, "No wonder this Bodhi tree, which was flourishing two days ago, withered today." ”

"Your cultivation has really grown very fast recently."

Luo Han hurriedly knelt down and cried and said, "Master, the apprentice is wrong. Disciples shouldn't have cultivated so hard, resulting in the death of the treasures of this sect. ”

】

The master shook his head helplessly and said, "What are you talking about?" You can't just stop practicing for the sake of a tree. ”

"This tree...... If it's a treasure, it's serious. It's just that I've been growing up in our temple for a long time, so I just have some feelings for him. ”

He patted Luohan on the shoulder and said, "I don't blame you for being a teacher. You practiced seriously and did a good job. ”

Luo Han smiled dryly and nodded.

I thought to myself: What about the time when the sanctimonious Arhat used to be so cunning?
