After breakfast, Qiu Li went out with a spare umbrella in the cafeteria, staying in the room and bored, she planned to go to the main hall.

There is a scripture pavilion over there, and below the scripture pavilion is a casual shop, selling small objects that have been lit in the temple.

The temple opened at 6:30, and pilgrims who burned morning incense were already coming in one after another.

Holding an umbrella, Qiuli walked along the bluestone road to the direction of the main hall, and saw seven or eight monks at the main gate, surrounded by an old monk and getting on a bus.

After entering the Suiyuan Pavilion, I heard two monks chatting.

"Abbot, this is going to the evil sect construction site to recite the scriptures, right?"

"But isn't it, this time the matter is quite big, and I actually invited the abbot to take action in person, in my opinion, it's best not to go."

"This person who invited people has a background, and I can't shirk it, but how long has it been since our abbot has been out?"

"I'm afraid it's been nearly a decade."

The two Zhike monks chatted for a few words, and began to pack up the things in the house, and a Zhike monk turned his head to see Qiuli, "This girl, it hasn't opened yet, and it will officially open at eight o'clock." ”

Qiu Li replied, "Master, can I go up to the Scripture Pavilion and have a look?" I'm the head chef who just arrived, and I'm not idle, I want to go up and read a book. ”

"It's you, no wonder you're familiar, I seem to have seen you in the cafeteria this morning, you go up, the front hall is open."

Akiri thanked her and walked up from the wooden ladder next to her.

The antechamber consisted of rows of bookshelves, two scripture tables, four chairs, placed against the window, and a door behind it, locked with a large iron lock.

I found the scripture interpretation of the Lotus Sutra, took the scripture, sat down in front of the window, and began to read it.

Suddenly hearing a noise below, she looked out of the window, and in the pouring rain, a tall monk carrying an old monk with blood on his back was striding in the direction of the main hall, and a monk with an umbrella followed closely beside him.

In addition, there were several monks rushing to the back of the hall, these people came and walked quickly, and Akiri saw their figures disappear at the back of the main hall, and that direction was the residence of the abbot and other monks.

She put away the scriptures in her hand and walked downstairs quickly, the two Zhike monks of Suiyuan Pavilion were standing at the door of the store and looking at each other, their expressions were panicked, and a group of monks in front of the main hall had already begun to clear the field.

Akiri couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't you send it to the hospital?" She just saw that the old monk was covered in blood, and I am afraid that he was injured.

"The hospital can't cure it." It was a strange thin monk who spoke, and he couldn't tell his age, and he had just walked over from the side hall next to him, and when he heard Qiu Li's question, he replied to her.

"Uncle Lichong." The monk greeted politely.

"Why can't the hospital treat it?" Akiri was puzzled.

Monk Lichong shook his head, "You don't understand. He didn't explain, he took an umbrella from the hand of the monk who knew the guest, opened it, and walked into the rain.

Qiu Li gritted her teeth, hating people who hit the edge and didn't tell the reason.

Fortunately, it was a rainy day today, and there were few pilgrims themselves, and after about half an hour of clearance, only monks and workers were left in the whole temple, and the heavy metal door of the temple was closed with a "bang".

The temple was still as quiet as ever.

Qiu Li stepped into the kitchen and began to cook lunch, but fortunately the temple did not eat for lunch, and when this meal was finished, it would be completed today.

If she's going to have dinner, she only needs to make one of her portions.

The monks ate quickly, and their dishes and chopsticks were washed by themselves, but Qiu Li was not at ease, so she still asked for water again, and then put them in the disinfection cabinet.

She was about to go back, when suddenly a little novice ran over crying all the way, Renyi grabbed his sleeve and asked him why, he wiped his tears and cried and said, "The abbot is dead!" ”

The voice was like a shock, and Rende behind him suddenly exclaimed: "What about the master?" ”

The little novice broke free from Renyi's hand and continued to run into the distance, apparently in a hurry to report to someone.

Qiu Li was stunned for a moment, and looked at Rende and them, the little faces of benevolence and benevolence beside him were panicked, and the three little monks glanced at each other.

Rende's face turned pale, he glanced at Qiu Li, and shook his head silently.

Seeing that they didn't want to say anything, she didn't force them, so she held up her umbrella and walked in the direction of her courtyard.

Originally, the sparse monks who could still be seen on the road were now as if they had been swept away, and she walked all the way without meeting anyone.

The sound of a bell ringing came from the direction of the main hall.

She paused, turned the corner from the courtyard door, and walked in the direction of the main hall.

Secluded path, there are a lot of sounds at the moment.

The black tower in the rain, the bells on the eaves of the tower still make a crisp sound in the wind and rain, and many monks in the hall on the other side are chanting scriptures.

Akiri mingled with the many voices, and strange thoughts rose in her heart.

After a long detour, I followed the path to the garden of the Black Tower.

The Black Pagoda was originally in a remote corner of the garden, and the little monk who had been guarding the door in the past went back after the temple was cleared, and this place was originally only to prevent pilgrims from entering, and the people of the temple were not guarded.

Qiu Li walked in from the small door, and turned half a circle along the tower body, she suddenly paused, the tower door that was originally closed tightly on the back was actually open at the moment, she held an umbrella and walked a few steps closer to look at the past, through the rain curtain, a downward passage appeared in front of her.

This Longxi Temple has secrets.

And at this moment, this secret is most likely hidden in the passage in front of you.

She hesitated for a moment, looked around, gritted her teeth, put away her umbrella, took out the wind lantern, and bent down into the passage.

A few movements were done in one go, and before she had time to be afraid, she walked down the passage.

There was not the slightest light in the passage, and after nearly half an hour of walking, the temperature under the ground was gradually decreasing.

When the cold hit, she shivered, Qiu Li stopped, fortunately, a few of the clothes she bought before were left in the "carry-on food box", she took out a hoodie and put it on her body, which made her feel a little relieved.

The passage was flanked by smooth stone walls, and after stopping, the silence became even more silent, and she heard the faint sound of running water.

The dream that had been forgotten last night resurfaced.

It was almost exactly the same place as in her dream, and she held up her wind lantern and looked around.

The soft and bright light of the wind lamp adds some security to Akinashi.

After walking along the passage for half an hour, there was some light in front of her, and the wind gently brushed her hair, and after a few more steps, her front suddenly opened up.

It was the end of the passage, and in front of her was an empty cavern-like hall, on the floor of which sat seven monks with their backs to her.

They sat on top of the futon, in front of them was darkness, bottomless, and each of them had an oil lamp beside him, and the flame of the oil lamp was weak, but it illuminated the whole cave with gloomy atmosphere.
