Chapter 394: The Palace of King Ksitigarbha
After saying that, the old monk looked at the people around him: "Later, the little monk took the people to the tomb passage and took away the coffins, but after it was taken away, Lanruo Temple collapsed. As everyone knows, Lanruo Temple was rebuilt, and it was also because of this that the Lanruo Temple was built."
The old monk said, Song'er moved for a moment, and I patted Song'er, and Song'er continued to sleep.
Lian'er also leaned against me to continue sleeping. The old monk looked at the people around him and said, "Do you remember I wrote a letter a few days ago? The letter was for this person. She was the descendant of the person who built Lanruo Temple back then. Maybe we will rebuild Lanruo Temple again. After all, our houses have always been malfunctioning in recent years. I still hope that I can repair it before I leave this world."
“Yes, host.”
“What the host said is.”
The little shakimi said with a blushing face and thick neck: "Will you say it earlier?"
"She just likes to joke. She is the same as her parents, and they both like to joke."
The old monk said, looking at me slightly, and his scattered eyes told me that he would soon leave this world, and that he was the only survivor of that year, the child who became a monk.
The old monk finished his morning class after he said that, and everyone was very happy about the repair of Lanruo Temple. However, the old monk looked at me and said, "It seems that you are here very time. If you come later, I will not be able to hold on."
The old monk said, and stood up. I also hugged Song'er and stood up. I followed me to look at Lian'er. Lian'er also stood up, rubbed her eyes, yawned, and followed me toward the old monk.
The old monk went out from behind and walked into a yard where his meditation room was his.
The old monk pushed open the door of his meditation room, walked into the house where he lived, moved a few steps, and looked at me after sitting down, and he said to me, "I am almost a hundred years old. Although I said I was a child, I was no longer a child at that time."
The old monk said and chuckled: "Life is only a hundred years, and things change and stars change, and in a flash, I regret it. I didn't stay outside with my family. I shouldn't have crawled on it naughtyly, moved the Buddha's hand away, opened the door of the tomb path, escaped in by myself, and killed the people outside.
When I realized that when I might have reached the bottom of a tomb, there was already a dead person on it. Although I was below, I knew everything that happened above. I wanted to come out to find my parents, but my parents were already dead, and I was trapped inside and couldn't get out.
I have been trapped for more than ten days, and only after more than ten days I crawled out of the tomb. After I went out, I saw that the corpses outside had rotted, and the rats had almost eaten the dead bodies on the ground. In that era, human corpses were food for rats, so when I saw those mice, the mice were not afraid of me. Even if I drove away the mice, the mice were still indifferent. The mice even wanted to eat me.
Later I had to light the fire and killed some of the rats before I could save the remaining bodies.
There was no place for those corpses to be placed, so I buried them behind Lanruo Temple, and I lived by drinking water every day.
It was a cruel day, everything seemed like a nightmare. Even though I visited every day and saved them every day, I still couldn't forget everything that happened at that time. I often woke up from my dreams and dreamed that my parents died in front of me, bleeding.
I was just curious and wanted to see if there was any treasure in the tomb, but I didn't expect that it was not a treasure, but a tomb. There were more than a hundred coffins below, each covered with a yellow robe, and there were seals on top of the robe. There were some talismans on top of the seal. I didn't know what was on the top of the talisman, but I knew that I couldn't move those things, and the consequences would be unimaginable.
But for some reason, when I came here later, I had an idea to see what was inside the coffin, but I actually went to see it.
And there is nothing in the coffin, but some battle robes. Isn’t that very strange?”
The old monk looked at me and asked, and the door closed me and looked at the old monk: "This is a tomb of clothes. It is normal for no one inside, but since the seals are posted, it may not be all tombs of clothes. After all, many people have been inadvertently before you, such as the person who built Lanruo Temple at the beginning, the general who died suddenly after entering, and some people who came here to investigate the case, died here in the end. In other words, even if you don't go in, someone will go in."
"But something happened after I went in. Someone here started to die, and they all died miserably. I heard screams in the middle of the night. When I ran in and saw people dying in the tomb. I told people that they wanted to destroy the coffin, but no one listened to me. I told them about this matter several times, and the above used many excuses to shirke me. I knew they were all worried about what would happen, so they didn't dare to make a decision. Every year after these years, they would send people over. In the past twenty years, since you came, many murders have been reduced.
I wonder if there are people in those coffins, why do people go in late at night, and why are those people all people I don’t recognize?”
The old monk said, Song'er looked at the old monk and asked, "You only opened a coffin when you went in that year?"
The old monk said, "I only opened one mouthful and saw a set of battle robe lying inside. I never dared to open anything else.
Although the battle robe was yellow, I looked at someone lying inside, as if he had eyes looking at me, so I took two steps back when I saw it, which scared me so much that I trembled and hit the coffin behind me, but I looked back and saw that the coffin was not moving at all."
The old monk paused when he said this, and Song'er said, "Mom, I want to go and see the coffins."
"Okay, let's see where the entrance is, is it in the main hall?" I asked the old monk, and the old monk sighed softly: "Lanruo Temple has been rebuilt. In order to make people stop entering there, I specially changed the door, but for some reason, someone still went in, you guys come with me."
As he said that, the old monk stood up, held an oil lamp in his hand, and took us outside the yard.
He bypassed the front hall in the yard and walked towards the back. He walked to the Bodhisattva Hall of Ksitigarbha behind. He opened the door there and said, "During the daytime, there are people guarding it, and rarely come here in our temple, but there are people who are guarding it, mainly to prevent people from nostalgic until the night, so as not to happen. This rule was set by me. It will be more than three o'clock in the afternoon, and no one will leave."
The old monk said as he walked to the door, looked at the lock on it, and said, "I locked this lock a few days ago. Because something was going to happen inside, I could vaguely feel the restlessness inside when I entered, so I locked it here. It was the same these days that I felt uncomfortable all over. I felt something inside was settled with me.
Because over the years, whenever I feel a little dissatisfied, people will die here, and I can’t bear to see it for no reason, so I just locked it up this year.”
