Chapter 268: Murderous Maniac
"What, you killed your own master?"
I couldn't help but be stunned, and quickly stood up, looking at Wuxin with vigilance.
Even kill your own master, unless you are a great traitor, you will never be able to do such a thing!
The reaction to me, Wuxin, like his name, didn't seem to take it to heart, and continued to talk about his own experience.
"I don't know what happened, there were a lot of things that happened that day, I just felt as if I was in a daze, and when I came to my senses, I found that I was holding a knife and had stabbed it into the master's chest."
"In order to atone for my sins, I lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests, reciting Buddhist scriptures every day, hoping that the Buddha would take me out of the sea of suffering......"
Listening to Wuxin's meaning, it seemed that he killed his master by accident, and judging from his words and deeds, although this person was quite weird, he didn't look like a bad person.
At least, so far, he has let me share the wild boar and provided me with shelter without showing any hostility.
"Master, although I don't know what happened back then, I believe that there must be a reason for it, and you don't have to blame yourself too much, your master will definitely forgive you."
I tried to comfort him, hoping to get more information out of his mouth.
"Alas, time has passed, so I won't say much, I still have to recite Buddhist scriptures, if you are sleepy, donor, go to sleep."
Wuxin didn't want to continue the deep conversation with me, so after a few words, he got up and went to the main hall.
After a while, the sound of knocking wooden fish and chanting Buddhist scriptures could be heard outside.
It seems that this Wuxin is really an ascetic, he doesn't sleep in the middle of the night, and he has to go outside to recite the scriptures, and even I admire his belief.
Since I can't get much information now, I can't pester him to ask, so I plan to stay for another night first, and then go back tomorrow morning to find the traces of the Printing Master.
So I sat cross-legged, listened to the sound of wooden fish outside, and began to perform the exercises.
I don't know how long it took, but when I opened my eyes, I found that the charcoal fire had been extinguished, the cave was dark, and it was quiet outside, and the sound of chanting had disappeared.
Did you go to sleep without intention?
I scanned around the cave and found no trace of Heartlessness, so I got up from the stone kang and walked to the main hall.
There is no trace of inadvertentity in the main hall, on the desk in the middle, the sandalwood has burned out, and there is only an oil lamp, which is still flickering faintly, vaguely bringing some light to the main hall.
"Master?"
I glanced around and saw that the front door was closed and the room was empty, and I wondered.
In the middle of the night, where did this monk go?
You know, the temple is built on a cliff, and when you open the door, there are bottomless cliffs on both sides except for the stone steps.
Running outside in the middle of the night is not a wise choice.
After scanning around the main hall, I raised my head and set my eyes on the Buddha statue.
It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, when you look at it, I suddenly shudder!
I saw this Buddha statue, half of which is a kind and smiling face, and half of it is a fierce and vicious Shura, under the dim light, it makes people's scalps numb!
Double-faced Buddha!
I was shocked in my heart, I never thought that I would find a double-faced Buddha here.
Could it be that this unintentional monk is also a member of the Southern Xinjiang Wizard Troupe?
It's just that when I first came in before, there was nothing abnormal about this Buddha statue, why did it become a double-faced Buddha now?
Thinking of this, I hurriedly approached and circled around the double-faced Buddha, only to find that the back of the double-faced Buddha was a normal Buddha statue.
In other words, when I was practicing cross-legged in the cave just now, this Buddha statue turned around, and when I unintentionally chanted the sutras, I was facing the side of the double-faced Buddha!
It seems that there are far more secrets of this heartless monk than I imagined!
I couldn't help but raise my vigilance, looked up and down the Buddha statue, and suddenly saw that there was a gap between the base of the Buddha statue and the ground.
I stretched out my hand and pushed hard, and I heard a boom, and the base was moving, and the Buddha statue slid up slightly, and in a few moments, the floor below was revealed.
I leaned down and knocked on the floor twice, and I heard a thump below, and when I was sure, it was empty underneath!
Insert the sharp end of the Martial King's whip into the gap on the edge of the floor, and with a flick of the pry, the entire floor will be lifted, revealing a black hole below!
Under the entrance of the cave, there is a spiral staircase, which winds down to a place where it cannot be seen.
There must be some secret hidden in this cave, so without hesitation, I went into the hole, re-covered the floor, and then walked down the spiral staircase.
I don't know how long I walked, but finally, my feet were on the hard ground, and there was a corridor in front of me, and at the end of the corridor, a faint light came.
I crept down the hallway, in the direction the light was coming from.
The corridor grew wider and wider, and soon, a wide basement appeared in front of me, and at that moment, the heartless monk was kneeling in front of a skeleton with his back to me!
The skeleton sat cross-legged on the ground, dressed in a tattered robe covered in cobwebs, dead for I don't know how many years.
And Wuxin folded his hands, knelt on the ground with a face full of reverence, and kept muttering something.
I quickly stuck to a corner of the basement and crouched down to avoid being unnoticed, all the while listening carefully to what he was saying.
"Master, after so many years, I have lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests, not asking about the world, and devoting myself to the Buddha, but why, I still feel extremely painful?"
"Yes, I have indeed killed many people, rich and poor, men, women, good people, bad people...... I don't care who they are, I just enjoy the thrill of killing, but now, I've changed! ”
"Didn't you once say that if you put down the butcher's knife, you can become a Buddha on the spot? But why do I work so hard, but I still can't find my Buddha heart, I'm always haunted by those nightmares, can you tell me why......
Listening to Wuxin's words, I gradually understood that this Wuxin monk was actually a Jiangyang thief back then, killing countless people!
And this skeleton should be his master, who redeemed him from the hell of killing back then, and now, he regards the master's skeleton as the object of confiding, telling his pain.
Unexpectedly, this heartless monk was actually a big villain, and I was thinking about whether to control him first, but at this time, I suddenly heard a painful moan from a corner of the basement.
I glanced at Wuxin, who was still immersed in confiding in the skeleton, and did not react to the moaning sound.
