Since the day of the fight, the homeless man appeared inexplicably, stayed there for less than two minutes, and left inexplicably, as if some kind of signal was turned on. Within a few days, my leisurely and leisurely days of guarding the convenience store quickly ended passively.
The reason is that I received a letter, yes, the handwritten one was sent by the courier company urgently.
After signing the receipt, I took the small scissors to swiftly removed the box. As a result, there was such a letter lying in it. I took out the letter carefully and looked at the cover. It was written with a brush.
I'm going! This year, it’s fine to write letters, and I still write letters with a brush. Is this retro or too poor to even afford a water-based pen
Looking at the envelope over and over, I couldn't help but spit out a few words in my heart. Then I opened the envelope and took out the letter paper. I was relieved: Thank God, the other party didn’t write it in classical Chinese, otherwise I would have to find it. Someone will translate for me.
But after I read the contents of the letter with one glance and three lines, I gasped and felt a bit of toothache: The letter was written by the old abbot, whether it was last time or last time. The old Taoist asked me to find a place to temporarily ward off evil spirits. , The abbot of the monastery that I looked for, the old man seems to be a friend of the old Taoist priest. The main idea of the letter is that the place where we found sorcery in our backyard, came back, and he couldn’t beat him. I hope I can go back and help him. I'm busy, and because it is not convenient for him to leave the monastery, he can only use this method to convey information. I forgive me.
After reading it, my first reaction was that it was time for the old abbot to learn how to use the phone. Otherwise, something like this could be regarded as an urgent matter. It was delayed for several days because of the constant communication. The second reaction was I feel strange: I thought that place had been abandoned for so long, and it was burned all over again. It should be considered okay. Why did the people who refine sorcery come out again
I frowned and thought about it. I still have to help with this. I decided to close the shop immediately and pack my luggage to buy a ticket.
After packing my luggage, I just got off the rough train and was about to enter the station to buy a ticket. The phone in my pocket happened to ring "ringing". When I took it out, I found that the caller ID was an old Taoist priest.
"Yeah, either nobody remembers me, or when I was looking for me, they all got together." I murmured to myself, decisively walked a few steps to a place with few people, and then pressed the answer button. Put it in your ear: "Hey, Master, what are you looking for? I'm about to enter the station to buy a ticket."
"Well? It's such a coincidence, I just came down the mountain to find you, your kid is going out?" The old Taoist's voice was full of surprise, "Wait a minute, I also just arrived at the station, and I'm almost at your place. Don't move, I'll be there in a while." After speaking, he hung up the phone quickly.
He was surprised, and I was even more surprised, but still obediently stopped in place.
After about ten minutes, the old Taoist priest appeared in front of me wearing a small blue backpack, squinting his eyes and looking at me: "Looking at your posture, it’s not like going on a trip, is it? What kind of work did you secretly take? Is your kid very short of money? Don't even want his life?"
"Wait, Master, I'm not going to recite this black pot. I'm going to help." I waved my hand to stop the old Taoist from trying to continue accusing me, and hurriedly took out the old abbot's letter from my luggage. Pass it over.
Old Taoist from his nose
He snorted, but still took the letter, and after reading it twice, the expression on his face instantly became serious. He stroked his beard, looked at me, and said, "Do you agree to help with this matter?" "
"Of course, you see, I have packed everything. If your call comes a while later, it is estimated that I have already gotten in the car." I shook the luggage bag to show that I was not talking about fun.
After lowering his head and thinking for a few seconds, the old Taoist stuffed the letter into his pocket and clapped his hands: "This matter, I think it's a bit weird, you still have to be careful, so that, since I'm just in time, then I'll be with you. Go ahead."
Uh, thinking that the old abbot and the old Taoist are friends, it shouldn't be a problem, maybe the old Taoist will be welcome, I immediately nodded and followed the old Taoist into the station.
I bought a ticket and got on the bus. I rode around in the long-distance bus for a few and a half days. It was only when it was getting dark that the old Taoist and I came to the small town under the temple. I wanted to find a hotel. Rested, but the old Taoist behaved more anxiously than I was. He waved his hand, bought some lighting equipment, and went straight up the mountain in the dark.
By the time I touched the entrance of the temple, it was late. Fortunately, the lights were still on in the temple, so I went up and started knocking on the door.
The mountain was silent at night. Although I didn't use any strength to smash the door, it seemed extraordinarily loud, and the sound spread far in the night sky.
"Who and who? This temple does not accept tourists in the evening, please come back." Within a minute, the voice of the little novice monk came from behind the door, trembling, and seemed to be frightened a lot.
The old Taoist kicked me lightly and motioned to me to talk business.
"Ahem, little master, I’m a pilgrim who has stayed here for a while, because I received a letter from the master abbot, saying that there is an urgent matter to discuss, so I went up the mountain overnight, and I asked the little master to open the door. , Let's go in and see the master abbot." I wanted to play tricks on the little novice monk, but when I was hit by the old Taoist priest, I could only put away the tricky thoughts and honestly report my intentions.
The little novice monk at the other end seemed to exclaimed, and then there was a "clam" sound of wood rubbing, two vermilion doors opened a gap, and a small bald head appeared. Seeing me, he looked surprised: "Sure enough, it's the Hou benefactor. The abbot has already ordered that you can enter the monastery any time as long as you come. Hey, who is the old man next to you?"
The little novice monk opened the door happily, seeing the old Taoist next to me suddenly looking up and down suspiciously.
"This is my master, and the master abbot also knows him. He doesn't worry about me, so he came with me." I quickly moved out the abbot, and a little stiff little novice turned the old Taoist out of the door.
Fortunately, the little novice monk just gave us an "oh" and led us in. Instead of leading us to see the abbot, he went to a small courtyard. It made us want to rest and wait until tomorrow morning to see the abbot again. This was also the abbot's order in advance. Over.
I didn't think too much about it. After I was tired and climbed the mountain for a long time, I was tired enough. I quickly ate something, washed it casually, and fell asleep.
When I woke up the next day, my spirits and spirits returned to the same level as before. I stretched my waist and sat up, looked around for a while, and found that there were no old Taoist priests, so I went out to look for it.
"Little Master, have you seen my Master? Yesterday
The old man who came with me tonight? "It just so happened that as soon as I left the door, I saw the little novice who opened the door last night and came in with a tray. I hurried up to ask.
The little novice monk blinked his eyes and used his chin to work behind him. He said, "The donor you mentioned has already used breakfast in the cafeteria, so I might go to the abbot!" Then, the little novice monk held his hands. He lifted his tray, "Hey, it's already past breakfast now. He asked me to bring it for you."
This old Taoist priest didn't wait for me to join him, so he couldn't wait to find the master abbot
I was suddenly curious, and asked the little novice to bring breakfast into the house and put it down, and led me to the abbot's room.
No way, it's not that I want to trouble the little novice monk, but there are too many rooms and the route is too winding, I don't know the way.
With three turns and two crutches, the little novice monk took me to the destination, then bowed to me with his hands folded and left first.
I slowly walked into the abbot’s room and found that the door was not closed tightly, and a gap was missing. I could faintly hear the conversation coming from inside, just in time for the voice of the old Taoist priest: "Really?"
The hand that was about to push the door in instantly shrank back. With curiosity, I bent down and squatted on the crack of the door, looking inside, wanting to see what the two of them would secretly talk about with me behind their backs.
The two of them were sitting next to the coffee table in the room, drinking tea. The old Taoist priest turned his back to me. He couldn't see his face, but I could see the abbot slantingly facing the door. It was just that the abbot’s. The old face was frowning, and his face was gloomy.
"Old monk, this is not a trivial matter. You have to answer me truthfully. After all, it's about the life of my disciple. You can't hide anything." The old Taoist took a stab at the tea cup in front of him. , Looked at leisurely, but the words that came out were very strong.
drink! The old Taoist seldom used such an aggressive attitude. What is it, what does it mean to me
I heard it more curiously, as if there was a cat's paws constantly scratching and scratching, staring at the abbot closely, hoping that he could speak something.
"Yes, those who refine sorcery do have something to do with this temple." After a while, the abbot raised his hand and drank the tea in front of him, spitting out a word that surprised me.
The old Taoist priest was also obviously taken aback, and even stopped drinking tea, quietly waiting for the abbot to follow.
However, the abbot was unwilling to confess more, allowing the old Taoist to persecute him again, only vaguely reminding him that he had something to do with the abbot of the previous generation, and then he never mentioned it. The two changed their idle topics and continued to chat.
Never expected to hear this kind of gossip, I hesitated, stepped back silently, followed the route in my memory, slipped back to my room, washed and ate.
The old Taoist priest never came back. I was idle alone, so I walked out of the monastery. Not to mention, the scenery on this mountain was actually quite good. Anyway, I brought the phone with me, so I was not afraid that the old Taoist could not find me.
When the night was about to fall, I wandered around and prepared to go back to the monastery. When I arrived at the gate, I unexpectedly discovered that someone was holding a few pieces of paper and pasting it everywhere on the temple wall. So I leaned over and found the paper. Using cinnabar to draw the charm, I immediately quarreled with the man, and when I was angry, I started to fight with the man.
