Chapter 51: The Monk

At noon on this day, when we came to a deserted suburb, the sky was suddenly full of clouds, and there was a tendency of wind and rain to come, everyone looked forward, and saw that there was a house in the distance, so they went straight to it, and when they got closer, they found that it was a temple, which had not been used for a long time, and the temple was dilapidated and declining, and its momentum was very decadent. One of the doors has fallen completely, the other is swaying in the cold wind, and above the gate, there is a wooden plaque six feet long and two feet wide, with vertical and horizontal strokes on it, and the three big characters 'Lingyun Temple' are written.

Yuan Jie and others walked in one after another, and in the blink of an eye, heavy rain poured down. This temple is divided into two rooms before and after, the outside is a hall, there is a Buddha statue near the east wall, half of the face has been declining, there is an offering table in front of the Buddha, the table is from left to right, there are incense burners, wooden fish and other things are listed, the inner house is smaller, but there is also a Goddess of Mercy clay sculpture, Guanyin's left hand obliquely holds the net bottle, the right hand holds the willow branch, and the water is sprinkled outward.

Everyone sat cross-legged on the ground, talking to each other about some interesting stories about the rivers and lakes, suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps outside the house, although the sound was not loud, but everyone heard it clearly, when they were surprised, the footsteps gradually moved closer, turned their heads to look at each other, only to see the figure at the door shaking, a monk with a shiny face fluttering sleeves, slowly walking in from the outside. The monk has a round face and big ears, although his appearance is not ugly, he is naturally not delicate and handsome, and when he enters the temple, he first stretches out his hands and dusts off the water droplets that fall on his head.

When the monk saw someone in the temple, he was stunned, and then said with a smile: "It is really unspeakable to be raining in the wilderness. I can't imagine that there are other people in the same way here, hahaha It seems that the monk is not lonely this time. Yuan Jie said: "The great monk will come over and rest together." The monk replied, "Yes." As he spoke, he strode over, came to the side of everyone, and sat down. After a while, the monk stood up again and said, "When I find some firewood, make a fire on the spot." As he spoke, he walked to the side, picked up the firewood one by one, and put it all on the central ground, rubbing his palms against each other, and the palms produced a little sparks, I don't know if he was not good at making fire, or because his palms were wet, after a long time, the firewood was still the same, and it did not mean to ignite. Seeing this, Xue Feng immediately took out the 'Fire Prayer Stick' and lit the firewood.

The monk was stunned and said: "The monk has been traveling south and north for many years, and this thing is still encountered. Come, show me. "The five fingers of his right hand are like hooks, straight to grab the 'fire god stick', Xue Feng felt that the end of the rod was vigorously pulled, and naturally grabbed it inward, the monk's right hand stepped forward, only a moment's effort, to the front of Xue Feng's palm, and then stretched out the two fingers in the index to firmly pinch the rod body, and the remaining three fingers expanded and contracted, and the diameter of Xue Feng's Guan Chong, Zhong Chong, and Shangyang three acupoints. If the other party borrowed kind words, Xue Feng would most likely hand over the fire prayer holy object to him, at this time, seeing that the monk couldn't help but say, he came to grab it, and couldn't help but be annoyed, he moved his palm up, avoiding the position of the acupoint, and his five fingers still grabbed the fire prayer rod with all his might, and he didn't relax.

The acupoint is offset, and the monk's three fingers will naturally not cause fatal damage to Xue Feng, but the finger force is heavy, and it is still not to be underestimated, so at the moment when the monk's three fingers are about to touch the back of Xue Feng's hand, there is a strong sound next to it, and a gust of wind rushes towards the Hegu point on the back of the monk's hand, the monk is shocked, and the fingers hurriedly loosen the rod body, turn into a fist, and hit the place where the wind came from, but listen to the sound of 'bang', and collide with another fist, the monk felt a strong surge, and this punch immediately retracted.

The monk was very puzzled, looked at the place where the strong wind came, and saw a thick-haired man with a bad face, who was looking over coldly, and recognized Yuan Jie, who had just entered the temple and invited him to come to rest, and couldn't help but blush, and defended himself: "The monk just wants to see that thing, who knows that he will not give it to him." It's so stingy, don't look at it. As he spoke, he reached into his arms, took out a dog leg that had been roasted a long time ago, and chewed it in a big bite.

While eating, he praised: "It's so fragrant, it's delicious." ”

Wan'er frowned and said, "You are a monk, how can you eat meat." ”

The monk said: "The monk eats meat and drinks wine, and in my eyes, any rules and precepts are fart." ”

Wan'er was already disgusted with him, and hearing him speak like this, her heart became more and more disgusted.

After the monk finished eating the dog's legs, he pursed his mouth, and saw that the heavy rain outside the temple had stopped, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help revealing a wicked smile that was difficult for ordinary people to detect.

At the moment, he didn't greet everyone, patted his clothes, and got up to leave.

Yuan Jie and the others were sleepy, so after the monk left, he casually found a place and fell asleep.

Yuan Jie was closest to the door, slept in the middle, and suddenly felt a pain in his head and neck, he immediately woke up, opened his eyes and couldn't help but be shocked, only to see the poisonous snake coiled on his body, there were as many as eight in total, one of which had sharp teeth, and was sucking in his neck, which was too late to take a single knife, his hands stretched out, grabbed the tail of the long snake, pulled it away from his body, and threw it on the ground. The poisonous snake opened its teeth and claws on the ground, swaying, Yuan Jie raised the knife and cut it, and then heard the sound of 'bang bang bang' endlessly, and the eight poisonous snakes were cut off one by one from the middle of the belly.

The rest of the people were awakened by the sound, and they were all stunned when they saw such a scene.

And outside the temple, it is crawling with poisonous snakes.

Xue Feng has a lot of experience, and after a little thought, he knew that it was abnormal, so he took three feet and two steps, came to the place where the monk was sitting before, and copied the place with his right hand, and the firewood and grass flew away one after another, and a pool of blood was immediately revealed on the ground.

"What a thief, he actually resorted to such a vicious method. Xue Feng said hatefully.

Yuan Jie Wan'er approached when she heard this, and when she looked at the ground, she was surprised.

Xue Feng said: "Snakes like fishy smell, and this pool of blood stains is the root cause of provocation. ”

As soon as the words fell, the monk's hoarse voice came in from outside, "There are the most poisonous snakes here, as long as you bite it, it will be difficult to survive." You will suffer yourselves, so go and die. Hey, hey, hey. ”

Wan'er said angrily: "What a shameless guy, this girl must not spare you." "After swinging the red tassel gun, you are about to leave the temple.

Yuan Jie grabbed him beside him and said, "There are many poisonous snakes outside, if you break out like this, you are looking for death." ”

Seeing her brother's face darkening, Wan'er couldn't help but feel numb, and stomped her feet and said hurriedly: "Big brother, you," said a few words, her voice choked, and she didn't continue the following.

Yuan Jie smiled: "Don't worry, my brother has a big life, and he can't die easily." When he said that, he touched the wound on his body, and he didn't feel the pain, but thanks to Xue Feng reaching out and holding it behind him, he didn't fall.

When he was young, Yuan Jie was already half-asleep and half-awake, Xue Feng helped him on the back of the beast, inspected the surrounding situation, and saw that the ground in front of him was full of poisonous snakes, and in addition to the gate, there was also a window in the hut, and after thinking about it, he said to Wan'er: "Miss Wan'er, now that the situation is difficult, if we want to go out, it seems that we can only take a risk." ”

Wan'er said: "Uncle Xue, what do you say, Wan'er will do as you ask." ”

Xue Feng stretched out his hand and pointed to the window, Wan'er understood, and led the lion tiger beast to the inner room.

The window is about a foot above the ground, four or five feet long and wide, and below it is the statue of Guanyin.

If you want to jump out of the window, you have to move the statue of Kannon.

Wan'er put her hands together and said silently: "Master Guanyin, we are forced to be here, we are really forced to do so, and I hope you can forgive me for the offense." She saluted upwards and then moved the image away.
