Chapter 213: The Temple of Mercy

Everyone stopped and looked back at him.

"Where?"

Monk Yuanrun asked.

"Maybe in an alley." Lu Bai wasn't sure.

The young monk said that a monk sealed his mother and separated them.

When Lu Bai met the young monk in the alley last night, he had just come out of a temple.

There was the sound of wooden fish in the temple behind him.

According to the young monk's angry rebuke to the Yuanrun monk, the young monk should not have monk companions. Therefore, Lu Bai felt that the monk the young monk mentioned might be in the temple in the alley.

Dudubai did not hesitate, "Let's go, take us to see."

He wanted to see which monk actually sealed the young monk's mother even though he knew that the young monk had committed a murder. While the whole city was looking for the murderer of the serial beheading case, he did not reveal any information about the young monk.

, costing many lives in vain.

Lu Bai also wanted to know who it was.

So after entering the city, he led everyone to the alley where he met the young monk where he had dinner yesterday.

As for Shao Baitou and others, they went to the Yamen to report the news to the prefect.

"The rotten pork noodles in front of the alley are good." On the way, Lu Bai suggested that they try it.

Miss Bai was surprised, "Have you seen the little monk before?"

Lu Bai nodded, "Yesterday I got lost and accidentally ran into the alley and met the young monk. He even showed me the way."

As for why the young monk didn't kill Lu Bai.

Lu Bai shook his head, "I don't know, maybe the young monk thinks I'm handsome."

Feeling very happy, he said to Monk Yuanrun: "If your second senior brother were here, Mr. Lu would definitely suit his taste. He is so shameless."

Monk Yuanrun and Lu Bai despised him.

When he reached the entrance of the alley, Lu Bai met the group of coolies carrying bags again. They were working all night to make the ship sail at dawn.

The man who gave Lu Bai wine yesterday saw Lu Bai and stretched out his hand to greet him. When he saw someone beside Lu Bai, he silently lowered his hand.

These people are either rich or noble.

They didn't make friends with people like Lu Bai.

Miss Bai didn't want to go in anymore, so she sat down in front of the rotten meat noodle stall and waited for Lu Bai and others to come out.

Although she didn't say it, Lu Bai knew that she had a grudge against the young monk's case.

Of course the little monk should die.

But who caused his evil alone?

Also, if she met the little monk's mother, she wouldn't know how to deal with it. In that case, she simply wouldn't go.

"That's fine." Lu Bai nodded.

He suggested that if Miss Bai practices piano, she might as well play some cheerful and powerful music. These coolies carrying bags will definitely thank her.

Miss Bai nodded.

Lu Bai entered the alley with Monk Yuanrun and three people with big belly.

The alley is still a little deep, and it is so dark that you can't even see your fingers. Even the bright moonlight cannot fall into the alley.

They lit a lamp, but the light it brought was still limited. After walking for a long time, Lu Bai could not find the temple.

Lu Bai said: "That's weird, it should be over here."

Belly Avenue: "Could it be that you remembered it wrong?"

Lu Bai shook his head, "Definitely not."

Monk Yuanrun nodded, "No, I can smell the scent of incense."

Lu Bai asked them to wait.

He jumped onto the roof next to him, and after turning back and forth, he finally saw that the temple was hidden in an alley in the alley.

He came down and called the mellow monk and the big-bellied monk over.

"Temple of Mercy."

Monk Yuanrun shines a lamp on the plaque.

The signboard of Mercy Temple is old and has spider webs on it.

However, if you listen carefully, you can still hear the intermittent, vague, and faint sounds of mosquitoes and flies inside.

Compared with when Lu Bai passed by yesterday, the sound of the wooden fish was much quieter, like a monk who had been hungry all day and couldn't hit the clock.

They pushed the door open and went in, dust was flying.

After passing through the porch, they were greeted by broken walls.

There is a Buddha statue among the ruins with broken arms.

I don’t know who has held an umbrella for the Buddha statue. If it rains, it will look a bit poetic.

Even if it doesn't rain, when the bright moonlight falls, the mood is still long.

After bypassing the ruins, a crumbling main hall appeared in front of them. The main hall was closed, and there were many candle shadows inside, casting a person's shadow on the door. It was very large.

When Big Belly was about to open the door, Monk Yuanyuan stopped him.

He clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha, monk Yuanrun of Yongle Temple pays homage to the master."

The people inside didn't answer.

Only the wooden fish was knocking again and again, with longer or shorter intervals, and the frequency was very strange.

Monk Yuanrun said it again.

The people inside still didn't answer.

"Push away." Lu Bai said.

This time, the fat man changed his seat to the mellow monk without hesitation.

The person inside didn't speak or open the door for a long time. In all likelihood, he was not a good person. Monk Yuanrun had a Vajra Seal to protect his body, so he was allowed to go.

Monk Yuanrun also did his part.

He took a step forward, clasped his hands together, said "offended", and pushed the door open.

call!

A gust of wind blew out of the house, carrying dirty air and dazzling green smoke, which made Lu Bai unable to open his eyes and made his long gown rustle.

The candle lights inside flickered when the wind blew, turning the figure of the monk kneeling in the center of the hall into a ghost.

Lu Bai's smoked eyes saw in a trance that the shadows cast by the monks on the doors and windows in the hall had changed.

It transformed into a female ghost with a hateful and ferocious face and floor-length hair.

She opened her teeth and claws at Lu Bai and his belly.

Roar!

As the wind stopped, a vague roar passed by their ears and gradually moved away.

Lu Bai put his hands down and could finally look at the scene in the main hall - a compassionate reclining Buddha lying on the main hall, looking down at all living beings with one eye half open.

There are many candles placed on the table in front of the Buddha statue.

Many candles have been burned out, and many more are on their way to running out of oil.

There is only a piece of incense left in the incense burner and it is about to burn out.

There was an old monk sitting cross-legged in front of the incense table. He was surrounded by candles, and there were no less than two hundred candles of various sizes that were about to burn out.

The candles are all white.

As for the monk.

He sat cross-legged on the ground, with his back to the door and facing the Buddha statue. His body was hunched and leaning forward, almost lying on the ground.

This is hardly a posture that normal people can assume, but it looks like it has been maintained for a long time.

Simply inhuman!

Not to mention that his hands were still knocking on the wooden fish, sound after sound, intermittently, as if the old monk was about to fall asleep.

"Second senior brother!"

When Lu Bai looked at the old monk, Monk Yuanrun was shocked and rushed in with three steps at a time.

The big belly was stunned for a moment, and after carefully looking at the back, he said, "Grandma, it's really Master Yuanzhen. Why is his back so curved?"

With a big belly, I hurriedly followed.

"Is this the legendary second senior brother?" Lu Bai was surprised.

Today is really full of drama.

He walked in slowly and just passed the threshold——

"Ah! You are finally here!"

Suddenly, a ferocious, strange, and terrifying female face appeared on the back of the second brother's bald head.

She can actually talk.

Her voice was hoarse and dry, like a female ghost crawling out of the eighteenth level of hell.

"Hurry, save him quickly. If you don't save him, your senior brother will never be reincarnated..."

"Stop! No-"

A huge sound echoed in the temple, interrupting the words of the woman behind him, but this discontinuous shout seemed to have exhausted his strength, and the woman behind him said weakly: "No, no, come here."

"Second senior brother!"

Master Yuanrun heard that these were the words of his second senior brother.

The woman's face reappeared.

She smiled jokingly, "He asked me to possess him to help him practice concentration and help him achieve the Immovable Mountain Seal. Now that he has not yet achieved the Immovable Mountain Seal, he won't be able to hold on anymore."
