Su Heng's heart sank slightly, and he suddenly got up.

Seven or eight eyes suddenly fell on Su Heng.

He did not hesitate and stepped into the hall with the plaque of "Six Banyan Trees" hanging in front of him.

In the middle of the wide hall, there is a golden Buddha statue holding a lotus flower, and thick red candles are neatly arranged on both sides of the Buddha statue, burning quietly and bringing light.

Directly in front of the Buddha statue.

There is a mahogany table.

A steward monk with an impatient expression on his face was writing something with his head down.

Although the monk was wearing a simple cloth robe, he still couldn't hide his fat body. The body is fat and spherical, and the two eyes are squinted, giving people a feeling that they are not getting along well.

"Junior Su Heng, I want to come to Longde Temple to become a monk!"

Su Heng bowed and saluted.

After a while, the steward monk threw down the brush in his hand and looked up at Su Heng with squinted eyes.

"You can call me Master Hongshan." The monk in charge opened his mouth and said lightly: "Since you have chosen to come to Longde Temple to become a monk, then the rules in the temple should not let me say anything..."

"The younger generation naturally knows."

Su Heng hurriedly took out the prepared silver taels and put them on the mahogany table in front of Hongshan.

However, after Hongshan glanced at it, he shook his head and said with a cold face: "Donor, your heart is not pleading enough. ”

Su Heng's complexion remained unchanged.

But he sighed in his heart, and suddenly knew that his guess just now had come true.

He groped through his pocket twice, and then found a few more taels of silver and placed them in front of Hongshan.

But Hongshan never spoke, just looked down at the red paper booklet in his hand.

Su Heng had no choice but to take out all the money on his body, including some trivial copper coins, and even the gray cloth bag that his sister Su Ping gave him, and put it on the table.

So.

Hongshancai nodded lightly.

"The heart of the Buddha is quite sincere." Hongshan accepted the broken silver and wrote Su Heng's name on the red paper booklet: "You go down first, and a monk will inform you of the follow-up arrangements later." ”

"Thank you, Master Hongshan!"

Su Heng knew that the matter had been done, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Before leaving the main hall, Hongshan did not forget to explain to Su Heng: "Don't spread the news about the things here." ”

"That's nature."

Su Heng bowed down again, and then left the main hall.

After Su Heng returned to the courtyard, several young people wanted to come over and ask.

But after seeing Su Heng's cold face and the appearance that no one should enter, these young people sat back and waited restlessly.

That's it.

The clock was slowly approaching noon.

During this period, more than a dozen people were taken to the inner courtyard by the monks, and some others also left with gloomy faces.

Su Heng ate a simple meal in the courtyard and continued to wait.

Until late afternoon.

In the courtyard, only seven or eight people remained.

Among the halls of the six banyan trees.

Venerable Hongshan had already put together a roster of red paper, but at this moment, a tall monk with a long white beard slowly walked out of the shadows behind the Buddha statue.

"Master Hongde, when did you come here to look for me?" Master Hongshan looked up and asked.

"Arrange someone for me." Master Hongde spoke.

The obese Master Hongshan looked embarrassed: "However, this month's quota is full, and the monks in the temple have been..."

"I owe you a favor."

Master Hongde snorted coldly, obviously knowing what kind of temperament this guy was.

"Hehe, although there are some difficulties, but since it is the mage who opened your mouth, then it is naturally easy to say anything." Master Hongshan smiled and nodded in agreement.

Venerable Hongshan wrote down the people who were arranged on the roster.

Then, he used a brush to select on the roster, and a horizontal line crossed out Su Heng's name.

Outside the hall of the six banyan trees, in the inner courtyard.

Seeing Master Hongshan walk out of the main hall, the rest of the people stood up one after another, looking at Master with anticipation.

Su Heng is no exception.

"Zheng Feisha, Zhao Changkong, Han Li... Those whose names are called can stay, and the rest can leave. ”

As the names sounded one by one, Su Heng's face became extremely gloomy.

Without his name!

How is this possible!?

Su Heng took a deep breath and just wanted to ask.

I saw that Master Hongshan had already turned around and left with the two gray-clothed monks.

Naturally, he refused to give up easily, and hurriedly chased in the direction where Master Hongshan left, stopping in front of Master Hongshan.

Su Heng said in a deep voice: "Master Hongshan, why is there no junior name on the roster. ”

"Your Buddha fate is too shallow, and my Buddha doesn't cross the age of ants and sparrows."

Master Hongshan's face remained unchanged, and he spoke in a contemptuous tone.

Something like this has obviously been done more than once, very experienced.

Su Heng took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, "In that case, can the master return the silver money to me?" ”

"What money?"

Master Hongshan's fat face was full of surprise: "This Master has been poor all his life, don't ruin my reputation." ”

"Good, good!"

Su Heng laughed angrily, turned around and strode away.

"What do you do to me, the wrath of the horseman?" Master Hongshan looked at Su Heng's back and shook his head, obviously not taking it to heart.

And yet—

This night!

The autumn wind blew, and a fire suddenly ignited on the walled courtyard and spread rapidly.

"Fight the fire!"

"Come and put out the fire!"

The monks in the monastery shouted, ran and cried.

Master Hongshan, who was asleep, was also awakened by this movement, and without thinking much about it, he put on his clothes, stuffed the package stored under the pillow into his arms, and ran out.

"There are monks patrolling the night every night this night, how can there be a sudden fire?"

Venerable Hongshan came to safety.

On the fat face, there was a look of surprise and fear.

"Could it be that someone set the fire on purpose?" Master Hongshan seemed to have thought of something, but at this moment, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a figure walking quickly towards him.

The figure had its back to the raging fire, but the moonlight had a cold silvery white coating on it.

An indescribable sense of danger spread in his heart.

"You are..."

When the figure approached, Master Hongshan realized that this person was the young man he had seen during the day.

"Buddhism, you dare... Poof! ”

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a sharp pain.

Su Heng's two fingers.

It has been deeply inserted into the eye socket of Master Hongshan.

The blood was gushing down his cheeks like a stream, and a sticky cold sweat came out at once.

Master Hongshan opened his mouth and wanted to scream.

Sting!

Su Heng exerted his strength again.

With the sound of scalp-tinging muscle tearing, a face stained with pale yellow grease was torn off by him.

"Don't cross the ants? Then let me cross you! ”

Su Heng looked at the blood-red monk in front of him with a grim face, like a ghost, and smashed him to the ground with a punch.

Then another kick stepped on the neck and spine of Venerable Hongshan.

Click!

Hongzen's head was crooked at a strange angle, and he was completely lifeless.

Su Heng stepped forward and groped twice in Hongshan's arms and found a thick cow paper package. He carried the package into his bosom, and before he had time to look at it, he quickly left the temple.

And behind Su Heng, the fire was getting bigger and bigger, stretching into patches, and the thick smoke like a pillar covered the moonlight.

Even the golden Buddha statue collapsed in the raging flames.
