Master Kongjie called Nangong Xiaoseng, Miyazaki Meizi, Chen Wusheng, Jin Jishou and others into his meditation room.
A little novice brought some pots of tea, he looked at Jin Jishou with a slightly fearful look, then hurried out, and closed the door of the meditation room as ordered.
"Everyone..." Master Kongjie was about to speak, but was interrupted by Jin Jishou.
"I'm sorry, Master." Jin Jishou said: "Today, I was reckless, and I hope Master will not mind."
Jin Jishou is not a fool, since Nangong is here, he must not be able to use the previous methods. He planned to use force before, which was his usual style, and he thought it was pedantic to be too merciful to Nangong Xiaoseng. But now that the situation has changed, of course he has to express his position first to ease the tense situation just now, so as to avoid incomplete and untrue things in his next words.
"It doesn't matter." Master Kongjie immediately showed the image of an eminent monk, and said: "I didn't know before that the benefactor actually knew the old man, and the old monk was a little neglected. Don't worry about the benefactor. I have been practicing Buddhism for many years, and I have already lost all four things. It won't be too much." Too fussing."
Although Jin Jishou said it was true on the surface, he completely scoffed at the "all four are empty". People must live in this world without eating, drinking, and drinking. If Yueshan Temple did not collect so much incense money, it would not be able to support so many monks. look? But this has nothing to do with him, as long as this bald donkey confides the truth earlier, he doesn't bother to bother with him.
"These few cups of clear tea are brewed with mountain spring water. In the past, the wise brother of Guanghai was also a tea lover. It's a pity that the man has passed away, but now I have the honor to meet his successor, and I feel very relieved."
The little monk Nangong looked at the abbot, and couldn't help but think of the master in the real world. He couldn't help being indescribably kind, and immediately picked up the tea cup and said: "Since it is the tea that the grand master loves, I, my disciple, will also taste it today." some."
He didn't seem to be in any hurry, anyway, it was already at this time, even if it was an hour and a half at night, it didn't matter. After all, he is the strongest ghost, and he still has this kind of bearing.
After the abbot finished tasting the tea, he began to talk about business.
"Everything goes back to decades ago... I can't remember the exact year, it should be the 1970s. At that time, I was the abbot of Kongshan Temple, and Guanghai Xiandi had just arrived in Hong Kong .Although he is a member of the Taoist lineage, he has a good relationship with me. He once stayed in Kongshan Temple for several days. At that time, I told him one thing, that is a mysterious wordless stone tablet in Kongshan Temple. "
"The stele without words?" Nangong Xiaoseng felt that this was the key point. Could it be something cursed by the dead
"Yes, Nephew Lin Xian doesn't seem to know about it."
"My teacher never mentioned it, and I have never had the honor to meet Taishifu, an old man."
"Kongshan Temple was established in the period of the Republic of China. It was located at the intersection of Sizhen Road in the old city of Kowloon at that time. Now it is completely a wilderness. The road of Sizhen Road is not too long, but there are many ancient temples in the period of the Republic of China. The building was preserved, so it also attracted many tourists at that time. Kongshan Temple is one of the remaining ancient temples. And the wordless stone tablet seems to have been there since then. The stone tablet is nearly six or seven meters high , three or four meters wide, and the whole body seems to be made of marble. When I was ordained in Kongshan Temple, the stele was already here, and it was located at the end of several meditation rooms in Kongshan Temple, just at the intersection of Sizhen Road The one who shaved me was the previous abbot of Kongshan Temple, who was also my master. The master once mentioned to me that the wordless stele must never be moved. Before he passed away and ordered me to be the new abbot, he still He specifically told me that the stele must not be moved."
"I have always had an inexplicable fear of that stele. Whether it was when I was just graduating or as the abbot, I didn't dare to go to the place where the stele is. Every time I go there, I will feel, Even the sunlight would weaken a little inexplicably. In the end, this feeling of fear became stronger and stronger. Obviously there was no writing on the stele, and no bones were buried under it, but I was still worried, so every time I looked at it, I wanted to Go to the meditation room and read the Heart Sutra again. However, no matter how many times you read the scriptures, the fear in your heart is hard to dispel, and you always feel that there seems to be a terrible existence sealed inside that stone tablet."
"This matter has always troubled me. I even once thought that my six senses were impure, which would cause my heart to have a demonic obstacle. But at this time, when Brother Guanghai arrived, I immediately took him to see the stone tablet. At that time, just walking on the road to the stele, he felt that something was wrong. At that time, he said to me: 'Master Abbot, there seems to be some kind of 'foreign object' in front of us.'”
"The stone tablet happened to be at the intersection of Sizhen Road, and when he came there, he immediately said: 'This stone tablet is facing the intersection. It seems that it seals the depth of this road. There is something in it, so that it cannot leave this road.” After hearing this, I was shocked and said quickly: “Amitabha, Brother Guanghai, this is the pure land of Buddhism, how can there be such evil things "Then, Xiandi Guanghai made a fortune-telling for me. After finishing the calculation, his face changed drastically, and he even let out a horrified cry. Then, he vomited blood and fainted on the spot!"
Nangong Xiaoseng listened to his words, the more he listened, the more shocking he felt.
"So... later?"
"This fainting lasted for three days and three nights. During this period, I also asked a doctor to see him, but I couldn't explain why. Finally, when he woke up again, his face was pale and he looked at me. , and then said: "Master abbot, this is a terrible number. I have been spying on the secrets of heaven all my life, but I never thought that I could not change my fate against the sky." I quickly asked why, and he continued: "You leave quickly." Go, leave the Kongshan Temple as soon as possible, you may still have a chance to save your life!'”
"After that, no matter what I asked, he didn't say anything. I investigated some things myself. Sizhen Road is an ancient road with a long history, so there are still many buildings from the Republic of China. However, after the war, A lot of information is hard to find, but Kongshan Temple is lucky to be preserved, and it is also an ancient building with the longest history on Sizhen Road."
"Then, one day, I found out that he actually took in an apprentice, that is, your master. Your master is very enlightened, and Guanghai also treats him as his own, even very strict. I felt at that time, you Master seems to be planning something. Soon, my premonition came true."
"On that day, people from Huating Construction suddenly came to us. They said that the city government decided to renovate the old city. The Kongshan Temple has not been very popular, and decided to demolish it and build a new residential area. Naturally, I firmly opposed it. , Kongshan Temple is an ancient temple with a long history, how can it be demolished casually? Moreover, Brother Guanghai also told me that no matter what, this ancient temple cannot be demolished! I know, it must be because of the wordless stone tablet .”
"However, the people in Huating Construction are very tough. They sneered at the land deed from the Republic of China period I took out, saying that what is the use of this land deed in what era it is now. They reiterated that this is a construction project of the municipal government. All the buildings will be demolished, and the Kongshan Temple is no exception. I have a limit of one month to dismiss the monks in the temple, otherwise the bulldozers will forcefully demolish the temple!"
"At that time, Brother Guanghai and I strongly protested against this matter. Brother Guanghai, in particular, repeatedly reiterated that the Kongshan Temple must not be demolished. Once the stele no longer exists, the consequences will be disastrous. When he said those words, His face was extremely pale. And I also believed what he said, and decided to fight to the end. However, not everyone in the monastery thinks this way. They would rather take a sum of demolition compensation money to go to other monasteries than continue Stay in this small monastery that doesn’t have much incense.”
"In the end, Shen Huating, the boss of Huating Construction, came forward in person. At that time, the existence of some ancient buildings on Sizhen Road made some historical heritage protectors very opposed to demolition, so he had to come forward to persuade him again and again. At that time, we Let's fight with Brother Guanghai and Shen Huating together. In the end, Brother Guanghai and I even proposed to make the biggest concession, and hope that the stone tablet at the intersection of Sizhen Road can be preserved."
"However, how could Boss Shen agree that this place will be built as a residential area in the future, leaving a stone monument, who will come and live? He saw that Brother Guanghai opposed it more fiercely than me, so he played some tricks, Arranged for the police to arrest him, saying that he was engaged in feudal superstition activities. And I couldn’t resist them in the end, just watched. After Guanghai was released, it was already a done deal. Although I made a lot of efforts, how could it be possible? Can it withstand their bulldozers? I saw that stone tablet being pulled down with my own eyes."
"After that, Sizhen Road became history. That road was completely widened, and the surrounding area became a large piece of flat land. Then, piles began to be driven, and Huating Construction began to start construction. But after that, all those involved in the construction People, one by one, began to disappear one by one! At first, they were just ordinary workers, and in the end, even the construction minister of Huating Construction at that time, and even Boss Shen himself came to investigate. At that time, it caused a lot of panic, and The stele incident at that time caused a certain disturbance, and many people immediately said that it was the divine punishment caused by the toppling of the Sizhen Road stele."
"The rumors intensified, which was a fatal blow to the construction of Huating at that time. The number of missing people was increasing, and there was no trace to follow. In the end, even the police intervened in the investigation, but they still couldn't find anything. In the end, no one was willing to do the work no matter how much money was given. This project had to be shelved in the end. In the end, Boss Shen had to come to find me and Guanghai, and said that it would be all right to ask Guanghai to rescue me. he."
"Then, Guanghai told him that although the stele was pushed down, he had arranged a countermeasure. He told him that Sizhen Road was connected with a 'road' of dead souls. He said, let's call it '' "Ghost Road". After the stele is pushed down, the souls of the "road" that were suppressed will lead the living to that road again. But the most terrifying thing is that "road" The deepest part. Even he doesn't know what's in there, he just knows, so he calculated the most dangerous hexagram of certain death. He knew that he would never escape this catastrophe, so he found an apprentice in advance, and put what he had Learn from each other."
"And he... can temporarily seal the 'Yin Gui Road'."
