When Hu Xiaotian heard the mysterious monk's order, his legs softened and he sat down on the ground. One hundred and sixteen statues! He had only cleaned eighteen statues. Two hours had passed, and there were still ninety left.
Eight statues, from now on, they will work non-stop, until dawn.
Hu Xiaotian complained endlessly: "Senior, I haven't even touched the remaining Buddha statues."
The mysterious monk chuckled and said: "But have you ever thought about it, you came here just to touch every one of them. Even if you haven't touched them, having such thoughts has desecrated the Buddha statues and they must be cleaned by me."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Senior, it's getting dark soon. If I don't go back, it will definitely attract the attention of others. They will most likely come here to look for me. You see..."
===m
"Who will come here? How important a role do you think you are? Even if I keep you here to work hard all your life, no one will know about it."
Hu Xiaotian was secretly frightened. If the other party forced him to use force, he would have no chance to resist. He smiled and said: "Senior, I forgot, that senior brother Mingsheng has escaped just now. He knows that I am here, and he will definitely come back when he returns."
Call my brothers and sisters to come and save me."
"Hehe...hehe...little bastard, you actually threatened me, so what if he knows? I have forced him to swear to the Buddha that if he dares to reveal even a word about what happened today, he will fall into hell and never be reincarnated.
day."
Hu Xiaotian took a breath of air. This monk was really vicious. How could a monk make someone swear such a poisonous oath? He gritted his teeth and said: "Senior, no one is made of iron. I haven't had a bite of food since morning.
, you can’t work hungry, right?”
"Your body is still strong and you will be fine even if you starve for three days."
Hu Xiaotian understood that it was useless to pester him any more, so he could only continue working honestly. If he continued like this, he would not be able to wipe out all the Buddha statues after checking at this time tomorrow. Tianlong Temple was indeed weird. He only blamed himself for being too curious, because the old emperor said
He went to look for the Buddha statue and fell into trouble. But he didn't know if the guards would be looking for him everywhere if he stayed out all night? Hu Xiaotian immediately denied this possibility. Because he deliberately harassed them, the guards must be right.
I hated him so much that I wished I would never go back. Maybe someone would report to the emperor later that he could not bear the hardship of Tianlong Temple, so he left his post and quietly escaped from the temple.
Hu Xiaotian scrubbed three more Buddha statues, and the sky was completely dark. Because there was no light, Hu Xiaotian had a reason to be lazy. When he was about to call out to the mysterious monk, he discovered that there was a wind behind the Buddha statue he was scrubbing.
Fortunately, Hu Xiaotian's eyesight was amazing and he could see at night. He wiped around the writing with a rag. Although the handwriting was blurry, he could vaguely make out the word Fufeng. As for whether it was Chu or not, he couldn't tell. After all, this line of writing was not
It was engraved, but written directly with a pen. Over the years, the ink has faded and most of the words have become blurry.
Hu Xiaotian was secretly happy in his heart. As the saying goes, the flowers planted intentionally did not bloom, but the willows planted unintentionally created shade. Unexpectedly, he accidentally hit and accidentally found the Immortal Buddha that Chu Fufeng had supported.
Hu Xiaotian looked around and touched the Immortal Buddha, but he really couldn't find any difference between this Buddha statue and the Buddha statues offered by others. Could it be that the secrets are all in the belly of the Immortal Buddha?
Suddenly, the mysterious old monk's voice came to my ears: "You little bastard!"
Hu Xiaotian quickly turned around and went outside. The rain was still falling, and it was not too heavy. Looking at the entire Rift Cloud Valley, it was dark and very quiet. Except for the sound of falling rain, there was the sound of the river flowing. There seemed to be light shining through the top of the head.
, Hu Xiaotian looked up and saw firelight reflecting in the cave on the third floor.
The mysterious old monk said: "What are you looking at? Come up here?"
Hu Xiaotian looked at the two sides and saw that there were no steps leading to the cave. The cave was about six feet high from the ground. Of course, such a height would not be difficult for him. Hu Xiaotian used the Eight Steps of the Golden Spider, using both hands and feet, to climb up the rough rock wall.
, and soon arrived in front of the cave, with both hands on the edge of the cave, and first exposed his eyes to look inside, but did not expect that the inside was extremely wide, and an old monk with waist-length hair was holding a torch and drawing something on the wall.
.
Hu Xiaotian climbed up carefully and walked slowly over. He wanted to clasp his fists and bow, but then he remembered that he was clearly a monk in his attire, so he clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha, I, the junior, meet my senior."
The long-haired old monk slowly turned around. What surprised Hu Xiaotian was that his eye sockets were deeply sunken, with no eyeballs in them. His face was also divided into two distinct halves from the middle of the bridge of his nose. The left half of his face was as skinny as a skeleton.
The head and the right half of the face are the same as those of a normal person, except that one eye is missing.
Hu Xiaotian had never seen such an ugly person before. He was shocked by his face for a moment, and his mouth remained open for a long time without speaking.
The old monk asked secretly: "Is it because I'm so ugly that I scare you?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Where is it? Senior, you are tall and mighty, you have extraordinary weapons, and the jade tree is in the wind. Before I saw senior, I was deeply impressed by your peerless grace. Now that I can see your true face, I feel even more admiration."
The water of the Yangtze River flows endlessly."
The old monk said: "After all, he is the one who is close to the Dog Emperor. He has no shame in flattery, and he will not blush even if he tells big lies."
Hu Xiaotian chuckled and said: "Senior, what I said is all the truth." He already knew in his heart that the old man had seen through his identity. Listening to the old monk's words, it seemed that he had no respect for the emperor. Even the abbot of Tianlong Temple did not dare to take it so lightly.
Damn it, is his status even higher than that of the abbot of Tianlong Temple?
The old monk turned around and continued to draw on the wall. Hu Xiaotian looked at the wall through the firelight and saw a naked Arhat painted on the rock wall. The Arhat had a human face but the body of a beast.
The old monk used the charcoal in his hand to draw on the wall. Although he had no eyes, he seemed to be able to see clearly, and every stroke he drew was flawless.
Looking at the strange scene in front of him, Hu Xiaotian couldn't help but feel horrified. Why is this old monk holding a torch if he is blind? Can he see? Impossible, what can a person see if he doesn't even have eyes? Could it be that he is doing it to let himself see?
Know yourself?
Hu Xiaotian did not dare to disturb him, and waited patiently until the old monk finished painting. The old monk threw the charcoal in his hand on the ground, facing the rock wall, as if he was admiring his painting: "How?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Not bad!"
The old monk said: "Even if you feel bad in your heart, you don't dare to tell the truth."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Dare you ask the senior's Dharma name?"
The old monk said: "Dharma name? How can a body of sin have a Dharma name?" He turned around again, and the torch in his hand illuminated his ugly face, which shocked Hu Xiaotian.
The old monk said: "It seems that my face scares you, little bastard, why did you come to this Cloud Valley?"
If others kept calling him a little bastard, Hu Xiaotian would probably have punched him, but in front of this mysterious old monk, he did not dare to have the slightest temper.
have a look."
The old monk said: "You have scrubbed twenty-one Buddha statues in total. You stayed in front of the last Buddha statue for the longest time and observed it many times. What should you be looking for? What exactly are you looking for?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "No, you didn't find anything?"
The old monk asked: "Do you know why I stay here?"
Hu Xiaotian shook his head.
The old monk said: "It's all because I violated the rules of the temple."
Hu Xiaotian asked curiously: "What rules did the senior commit?"
The old monk said: "You act recklessly!"
Hu Xiaotian said disapprovingly: "I thought it was a big deal. The truth is that wine and meat pass through the intestines and remain in the heart of the Buddha. As long as the Buddha is in your heart, seniors, it doesn't matter even if you eat meat every day."
The old monk Jiejie smiled and said: "This is a very popular statement in my heart, and I think so too, but what I eat is human flesh!"
Hu Xiaotian was so frightened by his words that he trembled. He stared at the old monk blankly, but saw that his ugly face showed cold murderous intent, as ferocious as an evil ghost appearing. Hu Xiaotian laughed and said: "Senior is really good at this.
joke……"
The old monk asked, "Do I look like I'm joking?" He took a step forward.
Hu Xiaotian was so frightened that he backed away repeatedly. With the strength shown by the old monk, it was impossible for him to escape. Suddenly an idea flashed in Hu Xiaotian's mind: "Senior... do you know Master Yuanmu?"
Hearing Yuanmu's name, the old monk stopped and asked, "Do you know Yuanmu?"
Hu Xiaotian nodded and said: "Of course I know you. Master Yuanmu also gave me some guidance."
"Nonsense, how could you possibly know him?"
"Junior does know him!"
"where?"
"Dayong Grizzly Bear Valley Lingyin Temple!"
"What can I point you to?"
“Let nature take its course!”
The old monk nodded slowly and said: "Very good, very good, you didn't lie to me!" His hand suddenly grabbed Hu Xiaotian, and Hu Xiaotian twisted his body and tried to hide from the old monk in eighteen steps.
Although he had to change the three steps in succession, his arm still fell into the old monk's hand that was as dry as a bird's claw.
The old monk said: "Let nature take its course? I have stayed in Tianlong Temple for thirty years just because of what Bald Donkey said. Yuanmu has indeed given you some advice. Well, you will stay with me for thirty years."
When Hu Xiaotian heard this, he was shocked out of his mind. He was really smart, but he was misled by his cleverness. He wanted to bring up Master Yuanmu to ask for a favor, hoping that the other party would let him go, but he never thought that this ugly old monk was Yuanmu's enemy and wanted to take advantage of him.
He vented his anger to repay the hatred Yuanmu had detained him for thirty years.
Hu Xiaotian exclaimed: "Senior, you misunderstood..." Before he could finish his words, the acupuncture point had been sealed by the old monk. He caught him as easily as an eagle catches a chicken, and flew out of the cave with Hu Xiaotian.
Instead of falling due to gravity, the shape rises straight up.
The night wind blew non-stop in Hu Xiaotian's ears, and the rain fell one after another. The raindrops hit him so hard that he couldn't open his eyes. He wondered where this ugly old monk was going to take him? (To be continued...)
