The guards bypassed the corpses on the floor and came to the mountain gate of Shitan Temple.

The mountain gate of Shitan Temple is still the old mountain gate, although it is the middle of the night, the guards of the Imperial City Division did not save any effort to knock on the door, and the door was banged.

It was the sound of the door banging in the middle of the night...... The monk guarding the door of Shitan Temple may have been afraid, and he didn't dare to respond until the guards couldn't help shouting, and a slightly trembling voice came out behind the door.

It sounded like a small novice's voice, and it was still very immature: "Shi ..... donor, Shitan Temple has been closed for something, and it may take a month and a half to open the mountain, donor, please go back." ”

"I am the general of the Imperial City Division, I have been ordered to come over and bring you a message, open the door quickly, call the elder in charge of your family to come over, and Lao Tzu will leave after speaking. ”

There was a pause in the door, and after a while, he still weakly refused: "This mountain gate can't be opened, can't be opened, if the donor has anything to say, let's say it here, our elders...... That, that Yunyou went. ”

The guard was so angry that he kicked on the mountain gate, and then threatened the little novice: "Don't be verbose here, go and report that the national teacher has something to say, hurry up and find an elder, otherwise you will fall to the ground tomorrow." ”

The little novice sighed, obviously frightened, and then groped away, probably looking for an elder.

After a while, there was the sound of hurried footsteps behind the door, and listening to the footsteps, at least three or five people should have approached.

"Donor, did the apprentice say that the national teacher has something to say?" There was a voice behind the door again, and the guards heard the voice a little old, guessing that it should be an old monk behind the door.

"Open the door quickly, open the door quickly! I am the Imperial City Cavalry Guard next to the national teacher, and the national teacher has something to ask me to bring to the master monk, are you the head monk? What is your title? Why are you so rubbing? "The guards were anxious to return to Qin Tianjian to resume their lives, and their hearts were very dry.

"Are you really sent by the national teacher? The national teacher once ordered us not to go out a single step, and something will happen. The voice behind the door was full of suspicion.

"I'm ...... Lao Tzu is the Imperial City Guard, you open the door quickly, report the law quickly, Lao Tzu is in a hurry to go back to restore his life, do you want to harm Lao Tzu?"

"Poor Monk Ring ......"

"If you don't open the door, forget it, when I go back, I will report that you don't respect the national teacher, and you won't even open the door, see how you explain it...... Yuanjie, listen, let me tell you that there is a monk named Fearless who has trespassed into the imperial city, and his life has been pinched in the hands of the national teacher. ”

"The national teacher also said that the three-day period was canceled, and the national teacher asked you to immediately, immediately, let the elders give an explanation, and the national teacher is waiting for you in the Qin Heavenly Prison, remember, the national teacher needs a satisfactory answer. ”

After the guard finished scolding, he turned around and wanted to leave, when the mountain gate opened suddenly, and a thin old monk rushed out with agility that did not match his age, grabbed the guard's hand, and his face was wrinkled and trembling: "This lord, how can the fearless elder be in the hands of the national teacher? What happened?"

The guard gloated and smiled: "Finally willing to open the door?" I don't know how the monk offended the national teacher, tonight the Golden Lion Lane went on fire, I accompanied the national teacher there and met the monk, and the national teacher sent me. ”

Yuanjie's face was even more shocked, and his hand was tightened: "Golden Lion Lane?!What are the elders doing when they don't come to Tianmen Mountain to go to Golden Lion Lane? Could it be that the fearless elders and the national teacher have done it?"

The guard shook his hand, but he didn't shake it off, and no matter how hard he struggled, he still didn't break free of the old monk's hand.

This old monk has a lot of strength...... The guard said in his heart, this old monk is not simple, and then slowed down his tone: "I didn't see them do anything, I just met the national teacher and asked the name of the fearless, and after asking, let me come over, hey, what am I telling you this? I'm going to go back to my life after passing the word, do you remember what I said?"

Several young monks who had been hiding behind the mountain gate and eavesdropping for a while, at this time, stretched out their heads to look around, and after finding that there was indeed no danger, they finally approached the Yuanjie Master in a cowering and asked in a low voice, "Elder Yuanjie...... Who is the Dreadnought Elder?"

Yuanjie didn't answer the young monk's question, his eyes were stunned, but he muttered repeatedly: "Fearless Elder can't have an accident, can't have an accident......

"You old monk, let go. The guard became impatient and motioned for Yuanjie to let go.

Yuanjie woke up, hurriedly let go of his hands, and said to the guards: "Please go back to restore your life, explain to the national teacher, until now there are no elders who can rush to Shitan Temple, the little monk Yuanjie immediately dressed and traveled, and then went to Qintianjian to meet the national teacher, and hope that the national teacher must not do anything." In the end, Yuanjie even jumped out of the common saying of doing something, and his voice was suffocated, he knew that once something happened to Fearless, then there would be no possibility of turning back between Buddhism and the national teacher.

If that is the case, once the hundred-year covenant is destroyed, the Buddhism will once again fall into blood and fire.

The head of the guard was so big, and when he saw the monk's gaffe for the first time, he was silent for a few breaths, and replied: "I'll do it straight, Master Guoshi...... I had my own plan, and I was gone, oh yes. ”

"What kind of beast is that monster, I've never seen anything like it. Before leaving, the guard couldn't help but point to the pile of corpses in the middle of the floor and asked.

Everyone was stunned and looked at the floor.

"That thing is dead, such a big corpse, with rough skin and sharp teeth, has any of you been bitten by this thing?" added the guard.

The monks shook their heads blankly.

"Dead beast?" Ringring glanced at the spot and then again.

Then the corners of Yuanjie's mouth trembled again, and he hesitantly took two steps towards the corpse, and then he couldn't help it, and ran over with all his might.

Rushing to the side of the corpse, Yuanjie half-knelt down and carefully searched through it.

The guard followed, taking the scabbard and looking at it.

The old monk's hand is strong, and one person can turn this corpse as big as a horse.

After turning over, the guard stopped talking, this is obviously not a normal animal, and there is no such animal in this world.

The more the ring is flipped over, the slower the movement on the hand, and the slower it becomes.

In the end, the old monk stopped, made a flute, pinched a handprint with both hands, and then put his hands on the top of the monster's head and recited a Buddhist scripture.

At this time, the guards also realized that this corpse was also unusual, and obediently waited quietly beside them.

After the Buddhist scriptures were recited, the old monk stood up, straightened his waist, and his face was no longer afraid, but solemnly saluted the guards: "My lord, please stay for a while, wait for the poor monk to tell the future, and return to the Qin Heavenly Prison with the adults." ”

The guards were fluted.

Yuanjie waved his hand to let the monk standing at the gate of the mountain come over and give a soft command.

After listening to Yuanjie's words, the emotions of those young monks suddenly became excited, and they wanted to pull Yuanjie's clothes, but Yuanjie waved his hand to stop them, and reprimanded them harshly, and these monks turned around and walked towards the temple step by step.

Shitan Temple stands tall in the night, the gray silhouette is calm and thick, evoking a section of cornices, it seems to evoke the memories of the round ring, this is the place where the round ring has lived for a lifetime.

Yuanjie stood silently and took this scene into his heart.

After a while, a small novice and the monks in the temple came out and drove out the donkey cart that transports fruits, vegetables, grain and rice in the temple on weekdays, and everyone worked together to carry the corpses on the floor onto the donkey cart, and then took the ring to complete the monk's clothes, and took the two laymen down the mountain with the guards.

Hearing the news, the monks of Shitan Temple crowded one after another at the mountain gate, seeing this ring go down the mountain, many people cried out, and then I don't know who got up, the monks began to recite the Great Light Sutra in unison, and the sound of the scriptures soon rose around the beam.

In the middle of the night, it is still magnificent, like the morning bell, cleansing the soul.
