When Golden Finger Meets Salted Fish

The night quickly covered the land, and the night scene on the top of the snow mountain was slightly different from that in the desert, but no one appreciated it tonight.

There were more than a dozen rooms that were vacant tonight, but the four of Jiang Mo obviously had no intention of separating, and they still stayed in the same room. The rest of the people in the room meditated and waited for time, but Jiang Mo was the only one who stayed by the window.

They still chose the room from last night, and the windows faced the room where Tan Xin came out this morning—Jiang Mo had been waiting since the evening class in the temple ended and the chanting from the front hall stopped. She wanted to wait and see if Tan Xin would come back. After all, the little monk didn't have any malice towards this temple, but he just left for a day, so he shouldn't disappear as easily as others, right?

But the fact still disappointed Jiang Mo. She waited moment after moment until the moon above her head was in the sky, but she still didn't see anyone coming back.

At midnight, almost when the third elder summoned everyone to go out last night, Zhu Baiyi and the others also woke up from meditation. She glanced at the sky and said to several people: "Let's go, be careful."

Jiang Mo thought of what happened last night, especially the descriptions of the survivors this morning, and couldn't help feeling sorry for him. But in front of her senior sister, she didn't reveal her cowardice at all, and even intentionally or unintentionally protected her senior sister behind her when she went out.

But maybe Jiang Mo has only been obsessed with cultivation these years, with too little experience, and too straightforward thoughts, Yun Qingyue can almost see her guilty conscience from her forcedly calm face—seeing that she is clearly timid and still stands in front of him That figure, while she was funny, felt soft in her heart. Unknowingly, he stretched out his hand to hold the warm palm of the other party, which can be regarded as comforting.

Jiang Mo felt the softness in his palm, and subconsciously looked back, only to see his senior sister smile at her: "Let's go."

Bewildered by this smile, Jiang Mo turned around and started walking in a daze. She threw everything out of fear and timidity at this moment. Only the heartbeat of "bang bang" echoed in his ears, and his whole body was a little floating.

When Jiang Mo came back to his senses, several people had already reached the open space in front of the Daxiong Palace.

Looking at the closed palace door in front of him, Jiang Mo remembered what he had seen and heard in the main hall last night, and his footsteps froze for a moment. But Zhu Baiyi and Qing Yu didn't seem to be afraid, the two of them came to the main hall tonight, and they walked to the main hall without hesitation. After Jiang Mo's footsteps paused, he still followed. After all, as far as I heard, the outside of the hall is not necessarily safer than the inside of the hall.

The four of them sneaked into the Daxiong Palace again quietly, but this time it was Zhu Baiyi who advanced, and Jiang Mo who was a little slower. As a result, as soon as he entered the hall and saw the situation in the hall clearly, Jiang Mo couldn't help but gasped.

Just like yesterday, the hall was not vacant at night, and the old abbot was still guarding the hall tonight. But what was different from last night was that tonight there was not a third elder with evil intentions who came to fight with others... At this time, apart from the four of them, there were still two people in the hall, one was an old monk and the other was a young monk. Look at those familiar eyebrows, who is it if it's not Tan Xin? !

As expected, the senior sister was right, Tan Xin had her own considerations for staying, and he was really fine!

Jiang Mo was a little pleasantly surprised, but seeing the two monks clasped their hands together, sitting opposite each other and reciting scriptures, he didn't want to interrupt him rashly. After hesitating, he stood aside, planning to see how things developed.

However, more than patience, there are few people in this world who can compare with Buddha cultivation. Jiang Mo waited again for a quarter, two quarters and three quarters, and the two monks in front of him remained motionless. Counting the time, they all watched the fun and went out at this moment last night, but they don't know when they will wait for this development... Jiang Mo was not only a little impatient, but even a little sleepy while waiting, and secretly yawned.

After waiting for another quarter of an hour, Jiang Mo finally couldn't bear it any longer, secretly teased Yun Qingyue, and asked, "What are they doing?"

Yun Qingyue shook her head, she didn't know, but instinctively felt that she couldn't interrupt.

Yun Qingyue was not the only one who felt this way, in fact, the four people present felt this way more or less. Because of this, Jiang Mo kept guard and did not move, and Zhu Baiyi did not call everyone to search the palace like last night.

Time passed slowly without knowing it, Jiang Mo waited impatiently, and the fear at the beginning also dissipated. Coupled with the strong curiosity of felines, she gradually became a little bored. She didn't know what was going on with the confrontation between Tan Xin and the old monk, but she knew that she couldn't be disturbed, so she scanned the hall twice with her eyes, and finally settled down. On the gate behind him.

According to the survivor this morning, the monks in the temple will turn into monsters at night, and they have no scruples about killing people. She was a little scared when she heard it, but also a little curious. At this time, curiosity prevailed for a while, and she wanted to see if there were any monsters wandering in the temple at night?

It was said that curiosity killed the cat, but fortunately Jiang Mo was still sane and did not do anything unnecessary, just secretly stuck to the crack of the door and looked out.

As a result, when she looked at it, she happened to meet a pair of dark eyes that were also stuck to the crack of the door—looking at the shape, they looked like human eyes, but they didn't quite look like them. The dark eyes are full of gloomy and lifeless energy, and when you look closely, there are violence and madness. What's more frightening is that the blackness in those eyes seems to be a whirlpool full of suction, and just one glance will make you fall into it.

In an instant, the deepest fear in people's hearts was aroused.

Jiang Mo was taken aback, and at the same time his body shrank suddenly, he almost screamed out.

Fortunately, she just opened her mouth halfway, and before she could make a sound, she was covered by a soft palm.

"Hush" Senior Sister's voice rang in her ears, and the warm breath blew past her ears. Jiang Mo's body froze, and he returned from fear to reality in an instant. She blinked, and the frightening black eyes in front of her eyes had disappeared, and her breath was filled with the reassuring breath of the senior sister.

***************************************************** ***************

Except for the small episode caused by Jiang Mo's own death, the atmosphere in the Daxiong Palace has always been very calm.

No one made a move on the old monk, nor did he turn into that frightening stone statue, and the atmosphere in the hall never became eerie. The two monks sat opposite each other, and the low sound of chanting resounded throughout the hall. While listening to it was reassuring, even the Buddha statues enshrined in the main hall seemed to have a bit more compassionate Buddha nature.

So, how could this Daxiong Palace be as weird as last night? It is clearly the same as the main halls of countless Buddhist temples in the world!

Jiang Mo put away his impatience after being frightened for a while, held his senior sister's hand, and waited obediently. Although she didn't know what to wait for, let alone when.

Then unconsciously, the night faded away, and the sky turned white.

Jiang Mo saw a faint light projected into the temple from the crack of the door, and finally he was sober, sober and anxious—it was almost dawn, and it was time for them to leave the temple, but last night, apart from standing here listening to monks chanting , they did nothing! More importantly, after dawn, the monks in the temple should also come to the main hall for morning classes. If they bump into each other, I really don't know how to end it.

Thinking of this, Jiang Mo not only turned his head to remind them: "It's almost dawn, should we go?"

The three of Yun Qingyue seemed to be a little out of shape, or they were fascinated by the monk's chanting. Suddenly receiving Jiang Mo's sound transmission reminder, several people suddenly regained their senses, and only then did their eyes regain their brilliance. But it's not wrong to say that they were confused by the sound of chanting sutras. When they came back to their senses, there was a clear light in their eyes, and it was obvious that they had gained something.

However, this point of perception is only a small point, and the few people don't have time to investigate it for the time being. Zhu Baiyi was the first to turn his head to look at the door of the palace. He also saw the faint light coming through the crack of the door, and guessed what Jiang Mo was worried about.

But leave now? She hesitated a little in her heart.

It was during this hesitation that the chanting sound that had been ringing in the hall all night suddenly stopped.

Jiang Mo and the others immediately turned their heads, and as expected, they saw Tan Xin and the old monk stop chanting together, and they both opened their eyes.

The little monk's eyes were no different from before, the black and white pupils were full of clarity, and there was a bit of transparency that didn't match his appearance. The old monk didn't have much contact with each other at first, but the few times they looked at each other, they all saw the sharp hostility in each other's eyes, and even turned into a hideous and terrifying look after turning into a stone statue. But at this moment, there was peace and compassion in his eyes, and he finally had the appearance that a monk should have.

As usual, the few people hid in the enchantment set by Zhu Baiyi and watched. At this time, they still haven't decided whether to show up, and they are even more afraid that their improper behavior will anger the old monk. In the end, it was the old monk who spoke first: "Several benefactors, I'm sorry."

When the old monk opened his mouth, he clasped his hands together and bowed slightly, facing the direction of several people, making it impossible to doubt that he had already seen through it.

Several people felt that it was unexpected but not so unexpected, Zhu Baiyi simply put away the enchantment with a flick of his sleeves. Seeing that the old monk's attitude was acceptable, he didn't look like he lost his mind, so he saluted and said: "Master, you are polite, I was the one who was rude."

The old monk didn't get entangled in this matter, let alone pursue their intention of sneaking in late at night. When he raised his eyes, his penetrating gaze swept across several people, as if he had guessed their intentions, finally his eyes fell on Tan Xin, and he said as if sighing: "I know why some of you came here, and I also know why some of you didn't. Malicious, just come with me."

After he finished speaking, he got up, pushed open the door of the palace and walked out. The rapid development of the matter was simply incomprehensible.
