Chapter 10 Mountain Temple
Jiang Yun, who came to the mountain temple, looked a little tired.
From the time he escaped from prison in the middle of the night yesterday, he has not closed his eyes for about twenty hours. He has been rushing around and has been walking very fast. He has experienced two fights during this period. In addition to mental stress, he really feels a little tired now.
After killing the mountain wolf on the road, he prayed that he could find a place to stay before it was too dark.
Not long after, he saw a light from a distance, and he was really happy.
When he arrived, it was already very late.
When he arrived in front of him, he realized that this was a small Buddhist temple, standing next to the path, with a sign of "Xiaoyin Temple" hanging on it. There were candlelights hanging on both sides of the gate of the temple. A small open space in front of the temple was cleaned very clean.
He walked up and knocked on the temple door. After waiting patiently for a while, he heard a rustling sound behind the door, and then a male voice came from behind the door: "Who is outside?"
"A traveler passing by, I hope he can stay for one night."
"Wait for a moment."
The footsteps behind the door became farther and after a while, the man returned. A small crack was opened to reveal half of the body of the man behind the door.
He was wearing a yellow monk's robe, with a bald head and no beard, looking around thirty years old.
"Come in by the donor."
Jiang Yun was a little cautious, but there was no strange look on his face. He first thanked him, and then slowly stepped forward: "Can you open the door a little wider?"
"Okay." The man opened the temple gate. Jiang Yun looked at it and saw nothing else.
Jiang Yun felt a little relieved.
Behind the door is a Buddhist temple, and the four Buddha statues worshipped are all made of wood carvings, which are not very detailed. Obviously, the temple opened in the wilderness ridge has no money. Incense worship is probably only a few surrounding villages occasionally, so it is normal not to be rich.
Following the monk, he walked into the Buddhist hall. Jiang Yun bowed in front of the Buddha statue, and then continued to follow him from the small door to the backyard.
The backyard is not big, with three wing rooms in total. An old monk was waiting in the courtyard with two monks who were about thirty years old.
The one who led Jiang Yun in introduced, said, "Master, two senior brothers, the guest has arrived."
Turning his head, he introduced to Jiang Yun again: "This is Master Xuanyi, and my two senior brothers, Nie Zhen, Nie Xian, and my Dharma name is Nie Hong. Xiaoyin Temple is located in a remote place, with only four of us masters and disciples. Occasionally, there are travelers passing by to stay, and we usually allow it with pleasure. Just leave some money for food, it doesn't matter if we don't give it."
This is quite awe-inspiring. Although it is not a great good, it also reflects the compassion of monks.
"Thank you, four masters." Jiang Yun bowed slightly.
The two monks next to the old monk returned the salute together, but the old monk closed his eyes and did not move.
Following the monk who opened the door, he entered the west wing room as a guest room. He opened the door and lit the lights, and the environment inside was really average. A bed and a table were all made of wooden and quite simple. The bed and bedding looked a little old and had a faint smell of mold.
"The room conditions are not good, so don't mind the donor."
"I dare not, it's good to have a roof that can block the moonlight."
"I don't know if I need to prepare meals tomorrow morning?"
"If there is one, it's best."
"The donor will take a break soon, and I will call you when the meal starts tomorrow morning."
...
When Jiang Yun closed the door, he felt that the temple was a bit powerful.
Before knocking on the door and asking, Jiang Yun was actually ready to be rejected.
Although this place is not a wilderness, it is indeed remote. It is late at night and I heard someone knocking on the door and staying, so I put the person in and rest without asking anything.
A kind heart is a kind heart, and it’s a bit heart-wrenching. Isn’t this afraid of meeting bad people?
Of course, not to mention the old monk in the temple, the other three are all middle-aged monks. They are afraid that there are also martial arts or something, so it is normal that they are not that scared.
But so many messages and stories I saw on Earth in my previous life made Jiang Yun feel a little paranoid. It was obviously a good thing, but it made him even more vigilant.
Under this mentality, when he recalled what happened just now, he did find something unusual.
It is normal for the Buddhist temple to be not refined. The temple is poor, but the dust on the incense table on the Buddha statue is a bit full of dust, which is strange. Isn’t this the temple unbreakable and there are monks who stay in meditation and recite scriptures, and don’t clean the Buddhist temple?
Just now, when they saw four masters and apprentices in the backyard, the other two laughed at him, but the only old monk who became masters was closed throughout the whole process, without saying a word, and without responding to hello. This is also very strange.
However, Jiang Yun came to have a sleep, just hoping that nothing would happen. He would go on the road and continue traveling south tomorrow morning. Other things here have nothing to do with him.
Of course, he should not have the intention to harm others, and he should be wary of others. He still made some arrangements at the door of the wing room.
...
In the second half of the night, the three monks outside Jiang Yun's sect each held weapons.
In addition to the old monk "Master Xuanyi", there were all people in Xiaoyin Temple.
Suddenly, a sound of knocking on wooden fish came from another room, which was the master's room.
"That old guy knocked on wooden fish again at this time!" One of the monks said in a low voice. This was exactly the Ne Hong who led Jiang Yun into the temple earlier, but he was no longer as honest as before, with a fierce look on his face.
"Don't worry about him, he has never woken up the fat sheep so many times before." Niehyun said.
"Get in quickly, monks are compassionate and give them some pleasure." The last Nirvana also spoke.
The three of them had a very low voice, so they were not worried about waking up Jiang Yun inside through the door.
During the conversation, one of them reached the door and did not let it make a sound. One of them used tools to expand the crack of the door, and one of them used a crowbar to open the crossbar behind the door and slowly lower it.
Cooperating with skillful understanding, it is obviously not the first day to do such things.
After opening the door, the three monks walked in quickly with their swords and swords. Without even looking at it, the knife stabbed directly into the bulging quilt.
This stab, I found something wrong - there was no one inside!
Then the bright moon outside the door, the sword light lit up from behind the three monks like flowing water.
The monk Niexian, who had just turned around, was cut through his throat without even seeing it clearly!
He covered his neck and wanted to cover the wound. However, the blood caused by the "water diversion slash" increased the damage, coupled with the part of the throat, the blood flowed like a stream. He couldn't hold on for long, and soon the blood in his body dried up.
