Chapter 111: Master Long Qi
He wandered around the underground caverns, and sometimes returned to the original grottoes, where the headless bodies dressed in white lay silently, mysteriously terrifying and disgusting, and they wanted to burn them all.
Where is Kun Qi hiding? Mo calculated that he had been wandering underground for several hours, and it was estimated that it was already the second half of the night, and just as he was about to find his way back to the surface, a light appeared in front of him.
It was also a grotto, empty and empty, with no beds or anything like that, and only a closed stone door on the stone wall.
Could it be that Kun Qi's lair is here?
Mo Yan came to the stone gate and gently pushed the line without moving, and after a careful inspection, he found that there was a small stone pier on the ground on the side of the stone gate, and when he stepped on it, the stone door "quacked" and opened on its own.
Inside is the ascending stone steps, Mo Yan holds the forbidden talisman in his left hand, and the golden knife ghost slashing talisman in his right hand, tiptoeing up, and the stone door behind him closes by itself.
After about dozens of stone steps, there was no way in front of them, and there was a wall in front of them, which was smooth and empty, and it seemed that it was another secret passage. Mo Yan searched and finally found an inconspicuous groove on the penultimate stone step wall, which had been polished, which was the mark of years of trampling on the soles of his shoes. Mo Yan was engrossed in his palm, ready to attack, and then lightly stepped on the groove.
The wall moved silently, but Mo Mo dodged in and quickly closed. In front of him was a dark meditation room, with the smell of sandalwood in his nose, a Buddha statue hanging on the wall, and a mahogany screen in front of him, which seemed to be used to cover the secret door.
The room has wooden beds, tables, chairs, futons, etc., and there is a hidden door on the side, and the light and human voices are faintly heard through the cracks of the door.
Mo Yan entered the house and peeked into the gap, and saw two white-clothed men talking with people in Siamese with their backs to him, and the clothes on their bodies were exactly the same as those white-clothed head-lowering masters in the underground cave, and they were probably from the flying head lowering masters in the cave.
It turned out that the underground cave was connected to the Temple of Dawn, which surprised Mo Yan.
The person who spoke to him was blocked by the bodies of these two men, but their accents seemed familiar.
The two white-clothed men bowed their heads and saluted to that person, and at this moment, Mo Yan saw clearly that this person was Master Long Qi, the abbot of the Dawn Breaking Temple.
Could it be that the revered monk Chongdi of the Dawn Temple actually secretly communicated with Kun Ti in private? Mo was puzzled.
The man in white then walked towards the door, and Mo Yan quickly avoided seeing that there was nowhere to hide in the house, so he rolled on the spot and hid under the bed.
The two entered the house and returned to the underground grotto through the secret door behind the screen, and the dragon came in and moved the screen again to block the secret door, and then walked out after a moment of silence.
Hearing the footsteps fading away, Mo Yan crawled out from under the bed, quietly opened the door to the outer meditation hall, and then slipped out to return to his residence at night.
Lying on the bed, Mo Yan didn't feel sleepy at all, although he couldn't find Kun Xi tonight, he accidentally discovered the secret of Master Long Yi. According to Long Qi, the Temple of Dawn had no contact with the two Kun Qi families in the underground cave, but what he saw tonight proved that he was lying, and the two white-clothed head lowering masters were clearly Kun Qi's subordinates, but they wanted to salute Master Long Qi. The most important thing is that there is a secret passage that communicates with the grotto in his meditation room, which cannot be said that the two families are just the contact of ordinary surnames.
Mo Yan pondered the original situation repeatedly, and a deference that could not be ignored gradually surfaced, although it seemed ridiculous on the surface, that is, Master Long Qi and Kun Qi were the same person, the abbot of the Dawn Temple was Kun Qi, and the leader of the flying head in the underground grotto, Kun Qi, was also Long Qi.
Mo Yan was also taken aback by this idea, no wonder he never found Kun Qi in the underground cave, it stands to reason that he killed two "Hundred Flower Flying Heads" in the grotto and wandered around for several hours, if Kun Qi was in the cave, how could he not know? Since he knew that the enemy had already killed him, he would definitely not let go and should have shot a long time ago.
That's right, Master Long Yi is Kun Qi, Mo Yan is more and more affirmative.
After dawn, Mo Yan got up and walked out of the guest room to the front of the main hall of the temple, where the monks were eating in the dining hall, and there were no idle people outside.
"Master Mo, where else do you want to go today?" Maung Qing just finished breakfast and walked out of the hall, and saw Mo Yan walking over.
"Just take a look. Mo said absent-mindedly.
The little novice Maung Qing led him around some temples and then to the jungle of the pagoda to explain the anecdotes of the monks of the past dynasties.
"Little Master Maung Qing, has Master Long Jing always been the abbot of the Dawn Temple?"
Maung Qing replied, "I heard that it has been more than ten years. ”
"Is there a special monk to serve him?" Mo thought that if someone served him, he might find the secret door for a long time.
"No, the abbot has always taken care of himself and never wanted anyone to serve. ”
No one else was allowed to enter his meditation room. Mo Yan took over the conversation.
"yes, how would the donor know?"
Mo said in his heart, this is for sure, if he meets the head descending master from the ground unexpectedly, it will not be exposed.
It is understandable that Master Long Yi doesn't want others to know his secret, so is he Kun Qi or not, Mo Yan decided to find an opportunity or test it first.
At dusk, Maung Ching told him that the abbot and the monk in charge invited him to a dinner and expressed his gratitude to the Niu Hulu family of the Great Qing Dynasty for donating the pagoda.
The dinner was still held in the dining hall, and there were two or three old monks in addition to Long Qi, and the dishes were even more sumptuous than yesterday's.
After Mo Yan arrived, he exchanged a few words with the monks, and everyone sat down one by one.
"Lord Mo, the old monk has long heard that the Niu Hulu family of the Great Qing Dynasty is deeply favored by Emperor Qianlong, and Lord Heshen is also a high-ranking and powerful man, he is really honored to be able to think of our temple. "Although the old monk in charge speaks Chinese not very standardly, he can still understand the meaning.
"Lord He is the elder of our Niu Hulu family, and he has long heard that King Zheng of Siam was an immigrant from the Qing Dynasty, and he has been to the court and tribute many times. At first, the current saint did not know King Zheng so he did not care, but later, under the persuasion of He Shen, the leader of the first-class loyal Xianggong, the minister of military aircraft, the emperor paid attention to Siam and officially recognized King Zheng as the king of Siam. Not long ago, the emperor broke the rule that arms and materials were not allowed to go abroad, and sold 150 quintals of sulfur and 500 iron pots to Siam. Mo Yan's mouth is full of nonsense, these are all things that Zheng Khotan said when he chatted with him.
The old monk in charge nodded: "The old monk has also heard about this, thanks to Lord Heshen." ”
Mo Mo thought that it was best to have these old monks present, and if he turned his face when he tested Master Long Yu, he would not be able to "laugh three times" in front of these people, so he said: "Last night Mo Er saw a lot of flying heads in the temple from the ground and flew into the air, the scene was shocking, this phenomenon has been a long time, right?"
"Well," the steward said, nodding, "it's been going on for more than ten years. ”
"Did you come to the Dawn Temple from the abbot Master Long Yi?" Mo Yan little by little led the topic to Long Yi who was sitting opposite.
