Chapter 294: Imprisoned Stupa
He was just about to go out to meet Mr. Cai, when he suddenly heard a clang, and the teacup in Mr. Cai's hand fell to the ground and shattered. Mr. Cai also slumped and slipped off the chair.
The man who had just gone out of the living room came back and said with a smile: "Master, how can these treasures that the disciple got with great difficulty be buried at the bottom of the lake because of your words? ”
After speaking, he turned around and shouted out of the door, and two people in white came in from outside the door, set up Mr. Cai, and followed the man to the door.
Ding Cheng and Yun Ying were shocked and angry, they couldn't imagine that this person had a sven appearance, but he had a jackal's heart. Immediately followed.
A few people went around the two courtyards, and through a long flower path, to the side door of a large hall and pushed the door in. Ding Cheng and Yun Ying followed up to take a look, this is a temple, and the main hall enshrines the golden body of Rulai, Guanyin and the eighteen Arhats. All of them are golden, shining, and solemn.
The pillars and walls of the main hall are also freshly painted. The four-colored offering fruit on the offering table in front of the Buddha statue is neatly placed, and the incense roots burned in the incense burner are inserted into the incense burner.
Yun Ying said suspiciously: "This person is not a monk, how can he build such a beautiful temple here, and serve the main hall so neatly?"
Ding Cheng whispered: "Lord Zhou told me that there are two masters on the lonely mountain. To the west is the territory of the Waterway Alliance, and to the east is a monastery whose abbot, Master Wuxiang, is an attained monk. It seems that this person should be the leader of the Waterway Alliance, but I don't know why he brought Mr. Cai here?"
As they spoke, the two followed the man to the stupa on the side of the main hall. This pagoda is the same high tower that the two of them saw on the island, and standing under the pagoda at this moment, they can see the majesty of the pagoda.
The man led two men in white to bring Mr. Cai into the tower, and it took a while before he came out of the tower. And the two men in white stood guard in front of the tower gate.
But the man commanded, "You two stay here, and no one is allowed to come near, and if you let the people inside, I will throw you into the lake to feed the fish." ”
After the man left, Ding Cheng and Yun Ying quietly approached the tower gate, and then rushed out like lightning, knocking the two white-clothed men unconscious to the ground and entering the tower.
This pagoda is thirteen stories high, two people step on the stairs in the tower to go up, come to the thirteenth floor, only to see more than a dozen monks sitting in the attic, in the middle of an old monk wearing a robe, eyes slightly closed, the mouth of the chanting words. And Mr. Cai was lying in front of the old monk, unconscious.
These monks have ropes tied to their hands and feet, and they cannot move. Ding Cheng and Yun Ying pushed Mr. Cai in the past, and found that Mr. Cai's eyes were closed, but his breathing was even, and he should have fainted, and there was no danger.
The old monk opened his eyes and glanced at Ding Cheng and Yun Ying, recited the Buddha's name, and said, "The two donors are tight, if they are not from the Waterway Alliance, then they are here to save Mr. Cai?"
Ding Cheng untied the rope for the old monk and said, "The master is the abbot of this Faxiang Temple, how can he be tied up here?"
The old monk said: "The old monk is just a faceless, and he is ashamed to say that the monks should abandon the entanglements and worries of the world, but the poor monk's cultivation is still shallow, and it is impossible to say that he can completely abandon the worldly thoughts." That's why this calamity has been brought about. ”
