When Dongfang Yu and others came to Lanruo Temple, the sky had already darkened. In addition, Lanruo Temple was surrounded by forests, so it looked abnormally dark, and the dead and dilapidated old temple also looked abnormal. Under the dim light, Lanruo Temple looks like a creeping beast that devours people.
"Is this the Lanruo Temple? But where are the monsters? Where are the monsters?" Standing in the open space in front of the gate of Lanruo Temple, looking at the dead Lanruo Temple, the Shifang monk looked around for a while, but there was nothing. I feel a little strange, isn't it said that there is a terrible ogre entrenched in Lanruo Temple
"Little monk, this monster from Lanruo Temple will not appear until night, let's go in and rest first..." Yan Chixia replied, and walked into Lanruo Temple at the head of the conversation, Shifang monk waited. People naturally followed in.
Walking into Lanruo Temple, Dongfangyu could see that it was indeed more dilapidated than before, and it looked like a mess everywhere. However, Dongfangyu carefully touched many dilapidated tables and chairs in Lanruo Temple, but there was no dust. As far as the dead Lanruo Temple is concerned, it is indeed an unusual place. Sure enough, there are evil spirits in this Lanruo Temple.
Although Yan Chixia was very confident in her own strength, but the battle was imminent, he was sitting alone, obviously recuperating and preparing for the upcoming battle.
Even the dead wood master next to him sat cross-legged, chanting scriptures in a low voice, but the monk Shifang was a little young, so he couldn't make up his mind. After sitting for a while, he touched his growling stomach, obviously hungry.
"Master, I'm so hungry..." After stroking his stomach, Shifang said to Master Deadwood.
"Shifang, if you are hungry, go out and ask for alms." Hearing Shifang's words, Master Deadwood opened his eyes and said.
"Master, forget it, I'm not hungry anymore." Hearing his master's words, Shifang thought for a while, tightened some belts, and said, but he muttered to himself, in Lanruo Temple, it was getting dark Well, I don't know where to go if I want to beg for alms, forget it, just bear with it, if this Lan is a monster, if I go out by myself, I won't be sure to lose my life.
Looking at the conversation between monk Shifang and his apprentice, Dongfang Yuxin smiled. There is no place nearby for alms. Master Deadwood obviously knew about it, but even if he knew, he let monk Shifang figure out a way for himself. Come on, is this trying to cultivate his own personal character
The conversation between the Shifang monk and his disciples here is just a small episode. Dongfang Yu has supplies that are comparable to a large shopping mall, but now he has no intention of rushing to take them out, although he has not taken the initiative to hide his strength. But since seeing Yan Chixia, Dongfang Yu is not in a hurry to make a move. First, let's see how strong this Yan Chixia who has inherited Yan Chixia is.
creak creak...
After a while, the sudden silence of the night seemed to hear the sharp cries of monkeys approaching from far away.
Everyone knew that the monkey monster appeared in Lanruo Temple. Everyone's expressions changed slightly when they heard the monkey's voice. Yan Chixia, who was sitting cross-legged over there, opened her eyes instantly, eager to try, and said: "Great, has this evildoer finally appeared?".
Under everyone's careful listening, the squeaking monkey sound was getting closer and closer, but it seemed to disappear after reaching a certain distance. Monk Shifang held his breath and listened carefully.
But the monkey's cries disappeared for a cup of tea, and when Shifang monk couldn't help but want to ask if the monster had left, suddenly, someone knocked on the door of Lanruo Temple.
"Excuse me, is there anyone inside?" After the knock on the door, a dry and sharp voice sounded outside the dilapidated door of Lanruo Temple.
"I'll open the door", with the intention of taking the bounty alone, so Yan Chixia bravely stepped forward and said, and opened the gate of Lanruo Temple directly while speaking. Everyone looked towards the door, only to see a thin old man standing At the gate of the temple.
Look carefully at this old man, he looks skinny, very short in stature, with sunken eye sockets, he looks a little scary, and he is carrying a pole on his shoulder, with some trick objects on both ends of the pole, beside this little old man, There is also a little monkey tied with a rope. It looks like an old man playing monkeys walking in the rivers and lakes.
"In the middle of the night, the little one got lost. I wonder if it's convenient for Fang to stay here?" Standing at the door, the skinny old man asked.
In the middle of the night, a thin old man with a burden appeared in Lanruo Temple? Isn't this a monster? However, Yan Chixia didn't appear to be in a hurry to make a move, and wanted to see what kind of tricks the little old man was playing, so she didn't expose his intentions, and said with a smile: "Old man, you are being polite, we are too. Those who stay here overnight, this Lanruo Temple is not ours, you can live here as you like."
"Thank you, thank you..." Hearing Yan Chixia's words, the skinny old man couldn't help thanking him. After entering, he found a corner and sat down, took out two rotten fruits, and thought about it. Thinking, with a low sigh, he threw one of them to the monkey who was staring at him eagerly.
Everyone came with the purpose of eliminating demons, so they all knew that this little old man was a monster, so they naturally paid some attention to the little old man. After a glance, there will be casual chats with Dongfang Yu and others.
For example, let his monkey do two somersaults for Xiaohong to play with. Xiaohong was very happy to play with the monkey. Seeing this, Shifang hurriedly shouted: "Xiaohong, come here quickly, brother has something to say." you say".
"Little monk, you seem to be very afraid of the little old man." He reached out and touched Xiaohong who was playing with the monkey. The old man looked at Shifang monk with a strange look and asked.
"Where, where..." Hearing the old man's words, Shi Fang scratched his bald head in embarrassment, but he was secretly nervous, Xiao Hong is too heartless, right
"Old man, where are you from?" Without making a fuss, Yan Chixia came to sit next to the old man, vaguely protecting Xiao Hong by her side, and at the same time spoke to the old man.
"The old man is from Chenjiagouzi, and the world is hard, so he can only come out to earn a living, alas..." Hearing Yan Chixia's words, the old man let out a long sigh, and said with a sigh of relief.
"Chenjiagouzi? Where is that place? How come I haven't heard of it after I've been traveling the rivers and lakes for so long?" Yan Chixia asked calmly.
"Young man, Chenjiagouzi is a long way from here, so it's not surprising that you don't know about it." The old man smiled and said, and just like that, the old man and Yan Chixia chatted one after another, until the end of the chat so late.
"What's going on? What kind of tricks is this monster playing?" After chatting for a long time without watching the old man start a move, Monk Shifang, Yan Chixia and others secretly felt strange.
It's normal for monsters to lie to people, but it won't be long before they show their true colors. The purpose is to eat people, right? But the old man transformed by the monkey monster actually didn't seem to make a move after chatting for more than half an hour? What kind of medicine is it selling in the gourd
"Master, do you think this old man is a monster?" Even the Shifang monk asked in a low voice to the dead wood master beside him.
"Shifang, talk less and look more", Sitting cross-legged, fingering the rosary, Master Deadwood replied in a low voice.
Gululu...
It was just eating some rotten fruit, and after chatting for so long, the old man's stomach was already rumbling. After touching his stomach, the old man looked around, and immediately turned to Yan Chixia, Dongfang Yu, etc. The person asked: "Everyone, have you eaten?".
Gululu...
Following the old man's words, Monk Shifang's belly rang at this time. He touched his stomach, and Monk Shifang smiled a little embarrassedly.
"It's rare to be so close to you all, how about I invite you to eat meat?" Looking at the Shifang monk, the old man smiled kindly and said, and immediately waved to the monkey who was playing with Xiaohong, and at the same time, from himself A gleaming knife was pulled out of the carrying bag.
"Old man, what are you doing?" Seeing the old man holding a little monkey in one hand and a knife in the other, and saying that he would invite everyone to eat meat, Shifang was taken aback and shouted hastily.
"Little old man is also hungry, you should be hungry too? Little old man, I am also tired from walking in the rivers and lakes. This monkey will not be needed in the future, so why not kill it and eat it? I heard that monkey brains are delicious. , This is a rare opportunity, how about I treat you to eat monkey brains?" The little old man smiled and said to the monk Shifang.
He killed his own monkey and invited everyone to eat. This kind of words were said with a smile, which made people feel an indescribable sense of terror for a while.
"No! Monastics must refrain from eating meat! Don't kill me, old man! I'd rather starve to death than take a bite!" Hearing what the old man said, Shifang shook his head firmly and said even though he was very hungry.
"Amitabha", after hearing the resolute words of the Shifang monk, the dead wood master next to him whispered a Buddha's name, with a look of relief on his face.
"Don't you eat it? That's a pity, little brothers, do you want to eat it or not?" Seeing the answer of Shifang monk, the old man was obviously very disappointed, and immediately turned to Yan Chixia, Dongfang Yu, Master Dead Wood, and even Xiaohong asked.
However, they couldn't figure out what the old man meant, and everyone shook their heads, expressing that they wouldn't eat it.
Seeing everyone not eating, the old man seemed a little anxious and kept persuading him.
But after persuasion for a long time, seeing that everyone didn't eat, the old man also sighed helplessly, put away the dagger in his hand, yawned, and said that it was getting late, so he should go to bed hungry.
The old man took his little monkey and fell asleep in a corner. Dongfang Yu and others watched him without moving or saying anything. Lanruo Temple fell silent for a while.
The silence lasted until the sky turned white, the old man got up, glanced at Dongfang Yu and the others, quietly packed up his things, then led his little monkey, and quietly opened the door of Lanruo Temple. door, and left alone.
As the old man left, Monk Shifang, Yan Chixia and the others opened their eyes almost at the same time.
Almost everyone didn't sleep well that night, and they were all on guard that the old man would take advantage of everyone's sleep, but the old man just left
