I haven't seen Master for a long time, but now that Master has just appeared here, it's really a surprise. As soon as Master makes a move, he will know if there is one! The hunchbacked old man's ladder was immediately broken.

I was overjoyed and ran to Master and said, "Master, why are you here again?" ”

At this time, the master was still dressed in tattered clothes, old gray cloth monk's robes, badly worn bast shoes, crutches in his hands, and patched shoulder wraps. It's just that he looks older than before, and his face is full of dust, only a pair of eyes are still shiny and brilliant.

Master glanced at all of us, and finally landed on me, looked at it meaningfully for a long time, and nodded frequently: "Okay! Good! Good! I don't want to see you in the middle of the month, and the disciples are making rapid progress, which is gratifying! Don't panic, wait for the poor monks to meet old acquaintances, and it's not too late to talk. ”

At this time, Da Gang, Kaka and 2 Ruizi and others also came forward to meet, and after everyone saluted, Da Gang said respectfully: "Today, thanks to the master, he arrived in time to save us." But, Master, this man is acting strangely, and you must be careful with him, or you may fall for his tricks at once. ”

The master smiled slightly and said, "It's okay, I have an old acquaintance with this layman, and I came here to clear up some misunderstandings back then. Wait here, and the poor monks will come when they go. ”

How can I let Master be alone in danger and ask to go together at the moment. Dagang Kaka and others also asked to go with them. Seeing that we had made up our minds, the master sighed and instructed, "Okay, but you need to follow behind the poor monk, you don't need to say much, just listen to my orders." ”

We all nodded, and everyone followed behind Master towards the hole where the hunchbacked old man had disappeared. When I entered the hole, I found that the hole was going up. There are steps that spread upward, and the dust on the steps is so thick that I think no one has been here for a long time.

There was only a string of footprints, leading straight up, and I thought it was the hunchbacked old man's. I had a lot of questions in my mind, so I asked Master, "Master, who is this hunchbacked old man?" Do you know him? ”

The master sighed and said, "This person's name is Li Zhaolong, and he was also a great grandmaster of the famous side back then, and his cultivation was unattainable. During the eight-year War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, countless priests and masters from Japan were folded in the hands of this senior, and made great contributions to my country's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. When the poor monk was young, he had several encounters with him. It was only then that some misunderstandings occurred that led him to hate me, and for decades, he still haunted me. Maybe I came here today to meet these grievances. ”

Da Gang walked behind and couldn't help asking, "Master, are you invited by the Yan Bureau to help with the fist?" ”

The master smiled and said, "No, the poor monk is here for my apprentice Lu Bo this time, since he has encountered this kind of thing, he naturally can't stand idly by." ”

I secretly wondered in my heart, and couldn't help but ask, "Master, what's wrong with me?" ”

Master's face was grim, he thought for a while, and said, "It's inconvenient to say here at this time, it's not too late to stay here." ”

In that case, then I have no choice but to give up and stop asking.

The staircase winds and turns upwards. We walked all the way, and we were afraid that we would not be able to climb as high as ten floors, and there was still no end in sight. I was still haunted by the hunchbacked old man's hanging soul ladder, so I couldn't help but say, "Master, we shouldn't have fallen for his tricks again, right?" ”

The master smiled slightly and said: "Although the Soul Hanging Ladder is mysterious, it can't trap the poor monks, so you can only deal with you young people. ”

As soon as Master's words fell, we heard the angry voice of the hunchbacked old man above our heads: "Stinky bald donkey! What a big breath! The old man has been waiting for you for a long time, and he just wants to seek justice from you, so he didn't kill your little apprentice. If you anger the old man, believe it or not, the old man will immediately let you die without a place to be buried! ”

When the master heard this voice, he did not panic, and still walked up leisurely. While walking in his mouth, he said: "Amitabha, thousands of Buddhas gather here, Zhong Ling is delicate, the Buddha is full of meaning, and he can bury the bones at the feet of the Buddha, which is the creation of the poor monk, what more can the husband ask for." ”

The hunchbacked old man laughed and said, "It's easy to say, the old man will definitely fulfill you!" ”

After a strange turn, I saw a little dim light above the front of us, and the master suddenly stopped, turned back to us and said, "Wait and listen, when you see this senior later, it's best not to squeak, don't speak wildly, and talk nonsense." Everything is waiting for me to talk to him, remember to remember! ”

When we saw Master say this, our faces were serious, and we naturally knew that this joint was very important, so we nodded and walked up behind Master.

Walking up the last few steps, a large stone hall suddenly appeared in front of me. This stone hall is different from the one we stayed in when we first came up. This stone hall is larger, and the surrounding walls are not carved with Buddha statues, but densely carved with Sanskrit Buddhist scriptures.

The stone hall was very empty, with only a stone bed and two futons. However, in this stone hall, in addition to the hunchbacked old man, there is actually another person!

The man was thin and withered, sitting cross-legged on a stone bed, and remained motionless. Looking at the clothes on his body, he seems to be a monk. He meditated on his hand and was indifferent to our coming, like a Buddha statue.

However, when the master saw this scene, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately bowed down and knelt down in front of the stone bed, shouting in his mouth: "Amitabha! It turned out to be a seated Buddha in the flesh! Amitabha, Creation! Good luck! ”

As he spoke, he bowed deeply. I stepped forward in the faint light to take a closer look, and I couldn't help but be amazed! No wonder this monk was indifferent to our arrival, it turned out that he had already passed away! And sitting on the stone bed is just his remains! No wonder it looks so thin and dry.

Sitting Buddha in the flesh! This is something that only a monk with advanced cultivation can do! If this relic can be reshaped into a golden body and placed in the temple, it will definitely be able to flourish. Yet it appeared here, and if it hadn't been for the hunchbacked old man who had brought us here, almost no one would have been able to find it.

I couldn't help but feel reverence in my heart, knelt down and worshiped with the master, and said silently in my heart, Buddha bless, if we can successfully break the conspiracy of the Demon Sect today, we will definitely reshape your golden body one day in the future!

Master and I were worshipping when we heard a cold snort behind me. Only then did I remember that there was another master who was eyeing me here, so I hurriedly stood up and looked back.

On the ground in front of the stone bed, there were two futons, and on top of one of them, sat the hunchbacked old man. He was of short stature, and once he sat cross-legged on the futon, he looked extremely obscene. It's just that the cold aura that emanates from his body is not to be underestimated. In the middle of the two futons was the old horse lamp, which still emitted a faint light at this time, illuminating the eerie face.

Master Shi Li said: "Amitabha, Lord Li, I haven't seen you for many years, don't come unharmed." ”

The hunchbacked old man snorted coldly, and said angrily: "Stinky bald donkey, you are not dead, old man, I naturally dare not die." Old man, I just need to watch your corpse broken into thousands of pieces, and immediately make me smile Jiuquan, it's worth it! ”

The four of us juniors didn't dare to come forward to speak, so we could only hide at the entrance and watch. At this time, Kaka asked me quietly, "What kind of grudge does this old man have with your master, and he hates it to this extent." ”

I also smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know, Master has never mentioned it to me, don't ask, let's take a look first." ”

I saw the master sitting on the futon opposite him, and sighed slightly: "Master Li, the grievances between you and me have been explained clearly more than 30 years ago, why do donors still have to work hard?" ”

When the hunchbacked old man heard this, he immediately scolded: "Fart! Fart! All shit! Do you think I'm a fool, old man? Back then, you and those dead old men of the Esoteric Sect joined forces to deceive me, only saying that you were dead, and that you would stop at this time, but why did you sit in front of me in a dignified manner? Is it not you who is in front of me, but a ghost? You have to give me an explanation today, otherwise, even if I kill the main altar of the Esoteric Sect, I will have to seek justice! ”

The master was silent, and only after a while did he say: "Li Shi, it has been more than 30 years since the matter of Ling Lang, and the poor monk has also explained to the donor what happened back then. At the time of the incident, the poor monk was also forced to do it. Afterwards, the poor monk promised his predecessors that he was willing to accept the three palms of his predecessors and did not fight back, and life and death were up to heaven, and this matter was revealed. God is pitiful, and the subordinates of the predecessors are merciful, and the poor monk's life should not be extinguished, and he should be left with his life. And the predecessors also promised not to pursue it again, why did they bring up the matter again today and go back on their word? ”

When the hunchbacked old man heard this, he sneered. The laughter was full of sadness. After laughing, the hunchbacked old man said, "What a stinky monk who can speak well." Back then, my son died at your hands, this matter is indisputable, and you have admitted it yourself! The old man only has such a son in his life, and he is in the prime of life, but he died in your hands, how can I not be heartbroken. Now the old man, I am nearly 100 years old, and I have been lonely all my life, it is all your fault! Old man, I went to the general altar of the Esoteric Sect to ask for an explanation, but I was troubled by the stinky bald donkeys of the Esoteric Sect in every way. Join forces with you to deceive the old man alone. Just say that you have been beaten to death by the old man, and you will take it at this time. ”

"After the old man came down the mountain, I felt that this matter was not so easy, and later, I went to your grave and dug up your coffin, only to find that it was empty! ! The stinky bald asses of the Esoteric Sect all deceived the old man! The old man swore at that time that he would find you, kill you with his own hands, and avenge my son! ”

When the four of us heard this, we were amazed. I, in particular, was shocked! Unexpectedly, between the master and this hunchbacked old man, there was a bloody feud between the murderer! What really happened back then? Why did Master do this?

The master was silent for a long time, and finally sighed: "Amitabha, when is the time for retribution......?"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the hunchbacked old man: "What nonsense, come on, don't look at the old man, I'm old and frail, it's not a problem to kill Er, let's go together, save the old man and I will do it one by one, what a trouble!" ”

Master stopped, "At this time, it is a grievance between you and me, and it has nothing to do with others. The poor monk just wanted to ask, what can be done to calm the resentment of the predecessors? ”

The hunchbacked old man gritted his teeth and stared at the master, and said fiercely: "Old man, I just want you to die!" ”
