Chapter 1572 Ghost Temple
When Fatty heard the word "nightmare", his expression changed instantly, but Jiang Cheng nodded, "It's so rare to die from a nightmare while sleeping."
"Why, are there people who die in this way among my little brothers?" the man dressed as a porter asked.
“I’ve heard of it, but I’ve never seen it with my own eyes.” Jiang Cheng replied.
The fat man listened to them going back and forth and noticed something strange. These people seemed to be playing riddles. What was strange to him was that these people didn't seem to have much affection for the dead people on the ground, at least they didn't see anything from their expressions. There was so much sadness on his face.
Are these people... not companions?
The monks covered the body with white cloth, and then arranged incense candlesticks. There was no futon, so they sat cross-legged on the cold ground and began to chant sutras for salvation.
For some reason, Fatty got a headache when he heard the scriptures they recited. Jiang Cheng comforted these people with a few words and left with Fatty.
After leaving the hospital, the fat man couldn't wait to come over and asked: "Doctor, what riddles are you playing with those people?"
Jiang Cheng breathed out and looked at him slowly, "What are you still doing? Remember the people you met while escaping last night? ”
The fat man nodded repeatedly, "Of course I remember, there seemed to be 6 or 7 people. You said they were the same team just now. Mr. Guan also chased them later."
"It was them, and they also found out "We are here," Jiang Cheng said, "They were testing us just now, and the old man suddenly mentioned When it comes to nightmares, your reaction shows that they guessed it right."
Recalling the scene just now, Fatty knew that he was right, but later he realized something even more terrifying, in his dream last night. That Guan Erye went after that group of people, and then that... that young man also died last night!
Jiang Cheng nodded to the fat man, "You are right, I think that was no ordinary dream, and that young man was also killed in the dream and imprisoned by the Second Master."
This guess sounds okay, but it can be banned Without thinking, the fat man immediately questioned: "That's not right, doctor. If the people killed by Mr. Guan in the dream will die in reality, how can Monk Huiming explain? There are so many monks killed by Mr. Guan, how can they?" Live well! ”
To be honest, Jiang Cheng had also thought about this problem, but couldn't figure it out. However, he guessed that it must be related to the so-called merit cultivation.
"By the way, did you notice that there were fewer people in their room just now? Counting the dead one on the ground, there were only 7 people." The fat man seemed to have suddenly thought of something and said quickly.
Jiang Cheng continued to walk outside, "The younger man is the middle-aged man who opened the door for us before. He should also be the most skilled person in this team."
The fat man was not as careful as Jiang Cheng, but he remembered that the doctor had said before that this man had one hand hidden behind his back. It was obvious that he was hiding a weapon and was also guarding against the two of them.
"Where did that person go?" Fatty asked as he followed Jiang Cheng.
"That's where we just went." Jiang Cheng replied casually.
The fat man opened his eyes wide when he heard this, "You mean Gongdetang?"
Later, the fat man seemed to have suddenly figured it out, and nodded while saying: "I understand, they last night They also had the same dream as us. In the dream, they also saw the ridiculous things done by those monks. After waking up, they couldn't tell the difference between true and false, not to mention that one of them really died, so after discussing it, they sent the person with the best skills to the place in the dream, that is, the Hall of Merit to investigate. "Tan."
"Let's go find Monk Huicong." Jiang Cheng walked towards the Zhaitang.
……
"Nothing at all? No trace left at all?"
In the dim wing, the woman's voice was full of disbelief. The monks who came to chant sutras had already left. In front of her, He is a middle-aged man with a resolute face.
The man picked up the water bowl and drank it in one gulp, his chest heaving and his brows filled with uneasiness, "Miss, it's true, and... there are monks on duty outside that building. I originally planned to find a secluded place. I climbed over the wall to find out what was going on, but unexpectedly, a group of monks suddenly appeared from behind me. ”
"But I'm obviously... I've been very careful. I didn't feel anyone approaching at all." The middle-aged man swallowed nervously. Not only was he a general in front of the battle, he was also good at infiltration and assassination. Otherwise, He wouldn't have been chosen, but the silent appearance of that group of monks still made him feel scared when he thought about it.
The steady-looking old man couldn't help but frown, "Go on, what else did you discover."
"The leader of the group of monks called himself Master Huide. He asked me what I was doing here. I originally wanted to find a reason to send them away, but I didn't expect that Master Huide actually mentioned those two people, who were us... who were saved by us. The two people said that they were like this just now, and if they didn’t believe it, they could take me in and have a look.”
“ I felt something was wrong, so I wanted to shirk it quickly and come back to report the news, but Monk Huide and the others seemed very unhappy, and their faces became gloomy, saying that the reputation of the precepts temple would never be allowed to be desecrated, and there must be a resolution on this matter, so I had no choice, so... I went in with them."
At this point, the middle-aged man's tone became excited, "I. I saw that building, it was the one in the nightmare. The monks called it the Gongde Hall. It was a place where they studied Buddhism and practiced to gain merit. The doors and windows of the Gongde Hall were not damaged, and the layout inside was also the same as in last night’s nightmare. The view is slightly different.”
“You also know that I am addicted to alcohol and am very sensitive to the smell of alcohol, but there is no trace of it in that Merit Hall. There is no alcohol at all, I’m sure!”
Hearing this, the expressions of everyone present became strange. The dream last night was still vivid in their minds. Not only did the group of monks drink and eat meat, they also treated a monk. They punched and kicked him, forcing him to do the same thing that violated the precepts. Then an evil ghost in the form of a bearded man broke in and started killing the monks present.
Then...then they were suddenly discovered hiding outside. No, no, it was the two people who discovered them first, and then they were discovered.
In short, the evil ghost chased them in the end, and the subordinate Aqima unfortunately fell down while escaping in a hurry, and then his head was severely chopped off by the chasing evil ghost. At that time, the blood Splattered all over the floor, the scene was very bloody.
When I woke up, except for the fact that Achima was really dead for no apparent reason, everything else had changed. The monks were safe and sound, and the destroyed and unrecognizable buildings were restored to their original appearance.
The girl who looked like a maid turned pale with fright, "This can't...can't be a ghost temple, right?"
"Shut up!" the woman scolded, and then she was silent for a moment and said: " This nightmare is definitely not for no reason. If you find the crazy monk who was beaten, there may be clues about him." (End of Chapter)
