Chapter 19: The Dragon (1)

"Click!"

Then there was a hey, a crunch, followed by two sounds of firewood falling to the ground.

Following the prestige, in the shadow of the room, sat a hunchbacked monk in shabby clothes.

In front of the hunchbacked monk, there was a wooden pier for chopping wood, and in his left hand he held a dead branch the thickness of an arm, and his white lips made a slight "hey" sound, and a rusty axe fell in response, and with a "bang" sound, the axe blade was deep in the dead branch, and the monk sighed, and took the axe off the dead branch with a hey.

"Hey!" the hunchbacked monk wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead with his hand, and the pair of eyebrows like a lying silkworm hid two cloudy eyes, staring around sadly, at this time there was a sound of hurried footsteps, and the hunchbacked monk suddenly doubled his spirits, and grabbed a few finger-thick firewood.

After three sounds, the hunchbacked monk immediately brought a few finger-thick pieces of firewood and prepared to chop it, when suddenly a figure flashed out.

"Seventeen!"

The voice was childish.

The hunchbacked monk pretended not to hear, anyway, every time he called him, it would be fine.

A young monk saw that the hunchbacked monk was busy chopping wood, and walked over angrily with two arms, grabbing the hunchbacked monk's ear.

"Oops, hey, don't drag, ears hurt!"

"I still know it hurts! Why didn't you say yes when I told you just now?" The young monk let go of the hunchbacked monk's ears and poked at the hunchbacked monk, "Look at you! Let you chop wood! Look at what time it is? How many have you chopped? Are these enough? Don't you forget, today is the day to choose a new host, and you still dare to be lazy? Is it the disease of lazy bones again?"

The hunchbacked monk rubbed his ears and looked at the young monk in fear, "This axe is very blunt!"

"It's very dull, and it's your turn to use the axe?" the young monk looked at the hunchbacked monk impatiently, "Hurry up and follow me!" Senior Brother Qingyuan has something to look for you!"

Immediately, the young monk changed the hunchbacked monk into a rather complete half-worn monk's robe and led the hunchbacked monk away.

The hunchbacked monk asked the young monk along the way what was going on and why Qingyuan wanted to see him, and the young monk scolded him.

When he arrived at the main hall of the Thousand Buddha Temple, the hunchbacked monk refused to enter the temple with great difficulty, why? He was a monk who had made a mistake, and the abbot had a rule that a monk who had broken the precepts could not enter the main hall.

"If you are told to go in, you will go in!Where are so many words!" The young monk pushed and shoved the hunchbacked monk to the door, "Senior Brother Qingyuan, if you ask me about someone, I want you to look good!" After speaking, the young monk walked away.

The hunchbacked monk walked in alone.

"Confuse Senior Brother, you're here!"

The hunchbacked monk was stunned for a moment, and turned his head to look, "Senior Brother Poetry!"

The poet monk is a monk who carries water, and he doesn't work together, but both of them have made mistakes in the confused generation, otherwise how can they bring an apprentice with their seniority. The two greeted each other about the recent situation, and this poetic monk, like him, also heard that the Qingyuan monk was looking for them.

Immediately afterwards, the two found out that not only them, but also the monks in the entire side room were confused, and they were all at fault in the temple and were scolded by the rod.

Everyone speculated for a while.

Some say that the new abbot wants to drive them all out of the Thousand Buddha Temple. Confusing the monks, because most of them have violated the precepts, but the monks who hold the confusion are often only responsible for the heavy responsibility, and they are not driven out, and it is not uncommon for the new abbot to look down on the previous abbot's practices.

Some say that the new abbot wants to give them new precepts.

Some people also received that the new abbot wanted to give them a meat feast.

After a short while, the crowd immediately fell silent.

The bewildered monk closed his mouth and turned his head to look, it was the monk who was confused. I was shocked, why did he come back? Could it be that the new abbot is him?

More than 10 years ago, the monk Wenfu and the monk failed to compete for the position of abbot, and somehow, he was imprisoned by the monk who held the confusion, and later injured the detainees and escaped from the Thousand Buddha Temple.

After the monk left, the monk became the host as a matter of course.

But for more than ten years, there has been no news of the monk, and as soon as the monk comes back, he will change the host, what's so strange about this?

Hearing this, the monk and everyone saw the salute one by one, and immediately walked to the front with a few young disciples.

"Brothers, today, I have returned to the Thousand Buddha Temple, everyone says that I am forced to abdicate by the disciple, and some people say that I want to dominate the Thousand Buddha Temple!

The crowd whispered.

I haven't come back for so many years, and I have to change the host as soon as I come back, and everyone knows the heart of the monk.

"I summoned you brothers today to explain why I left and why I came back!"

Seeing that everyone was clamoring and shouting, a young disciple behind him came out when he heard it, "Uncle Shi, Master is here this time to debunk the conspiracy methods played by Uncle Shi back then, and secondly, to ask Uncle Shi to help me and let my Thousand Buddha Temple carry forward!"

"Conspiracy?" a monk stood up, "What kind of conspiracy is holding the senior brother's deception? Why don't we know?"

Wen Yu stopped the young monk who was about to speak, "Do you still remember?

"Everyone remembers this incident! Senior Brother Zhizhi answered the Zen machine in front of the bed of Master Jiexian, and at that time, the four first disciples, including Senior Brother Wenzhi, were all witnesses, how can you say that Senior Brother Zhizhi has a conspiracy today?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was bustling.

Seeing this, he said, "On that day, the younger brother was bewitched by the traitorous monk Bao Ming of Qinglong Temple, and used a qi to deceive the master.

was seen through by the master at a glance, and at that time, the confused senior brother and the Zen confused senior brother teamed up to kill the master to win the position of abbot.

Originally, I had no intention of fighting with them, but they killed the master, how could I hand over the Thousand Buddha Temple to two villains,

Even if I agreed, Master and his old man wouldn't agree! I swore to the death, so the two of them joined forces to injure me.

I was killed by them, but fortunately someone broke in and I survived.

But then I was framed by them as the real murderer of the master and the younger brother, and they sent people to kill me at night.

I desperately escaped, wandering the rivers and lakes for more than ten years, just so that one day I can make my grievances public!"

When everyone heard this, they gritted their teeth.

"Brother Wenfu, these words are all said by you, at the moment, Senior Brother Zen Confusion does not know where to go, Senior Brother is still in the firewood room, and the people present have no witness!"

Wen Confused waved his hand, "No, I just said, there is a break-in and see through their plot!"

"Dare to ask Senior Brother, where is this person now?"

"It's just to confuse the junior brother!"

Everyone was disturbed and looked at the bewildered monk.

Hearing the confusion, the monk walked to the side of the confused monk, and pulled the confused monk to the front of everyone, "The confused junior brother has been serving the master back then, so the people present are not four, but five!"

Everyone focused their attention on the bewitching monk.
