A knife in love

Chapter 3225

Seeing that Li Qiufeng was not angry, Murong Danyan finally put his hanging heart back into his stomach. Hearing that Li Qiufeng wanted to listen to the two monks together, he naturally wished for it. He nodded immediately and said cautiously: "Brother Li, are you really not angry anymore?"

Li Qiufeng glanced at Murong Danyan, and said in his mouth: "The girl was worried about Li's safety, so she climbed down the cliff regardless, how could Li be angry?"

After he finished speaking, without waiting for Murong Danyan to speak, he turned around and walked towards the stone room.Murong Danyan followed closely behind him and walked into the stone room together.There were five people lying here and there on the ground of the stone room, three of them were already dead, and the other two were lying on the ground stiff.The two monks stood in the stone room with terrified expressions on their faces.

Li Qiufeng walked up to the two monks and said, "This little brother is my companion, the two Zen masters don't need to be afraid."

Murong Danyan cupped his hands towards the two monks, and said with a smile: "How lucky to meet the two Zen masters today?"

As she spoke, she carefully looked at the two monks.The white-browed old monk clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha, the old monk Shi Daji has met the benefactor."

As soon as Daji finished speaking, the middle-aged monk interjected, "Little monk Shi Dongduo, I have met the benefactor."

Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan were taken aback when they heard the two monks utter their dharma names, thinking that their dharma names were not like monks from the Central Plains, but lamas from the Western Regions.Fusang Kingdom is full of weirdness, so we must be careful.

After Shi Dongduo finished speaking, he bowed to Murong Danyan to salute.Murong Danyan bowed his hand to return the salute, and said with a smile: "Chan Master hasn't finished talking just now, so let's continue."

Shi Dongduo straightened his body, agreed respectfully, and then continued: "After Master Deyin passed away, the little monk and master went to Xingtang Temple to practice meditation and worship Buddha. Although the days were quite poor, it was quite pleasant. It’s just that there are more and more monasteries on Gubei Mountain, and Jixiang Temple is the dominant family, overwhelming all other temples, sending monks to Xingtang Temple to show off their power from time to time, masters and young monks are not allowed to open the temple gate to accept disciples, and Xingtang Temple is not allowed to accept pilgrims. For decades, Xingtang Temple has always only had two young monks and the master. If there were not big benefactors who came to the ancient monument mountain every year to donate incense, food, monk robes and other things to the temples, Jixiang Temple would not dare to offend the big benefactor. That's why they didn't send people to take these things away, I'm afraid the little monk and master would have died of cold and hunger."

When Shi Dongduo said this, a desolate expression appeared on his face.Murong Danyan thought to himself, how could these two monks look helpless and half-dead, they could be the opponent of that fat monk Shi Xingkong from Jixiang Temple?Just now I heard what Brother Li said, it can be said that it is not easy for these two guys to live to this day.

When Murong Danyan was thinking about it, he only heard Shi Dongduo continue to say: "It's just that the abbot of Jixiang Temple and the monks in the temple are extremely greedy, and they want to bring all the temples on Gubei Mountain under the jurisdiction of Jixiang Temple. During the years, monks from Jixiang Temple often came to Xingtang Temple to make trouble. They either slandered the young monk and master for stealing incense candles and sesame oil from Jixiang Temple, or accused Xingtang Temple of hiding women. There are so many people, and they are arrogant and unreasonable, so they will inevitably suffer. Two years ago, on a dark and stormy night, Xingtang Temple suddenly caught fire and burned two dilapidated houses to the ground. If it weren't for the little monk and Master ran away desperately, I am afraid that he would have been buried in the fire."

When Murong Danyan heard what Shi Dongduo said, he felt compassion, clapped his hands together, and said loudly: "These bald donkeys in Jixiang Temple are so vicious, really hateful! If they are bumped into by me, they must be killed No!"

Shi Daji and Shi Dongduo looked rather embarrassed when they heard Murong Danyan scolding "bald donkey".Shi Dongduo coughed dryly twice, and then said: "Did the monks from Jixiang Temple set the fire? I don't dare to speak nonsense, but Xingtang Temple burned to the ground, and I and my master have no place to live. I couldn’t help but panic. That day when the little monk and his master were looking for food bowls and other objects among the rubble, they accidentally found traces of people climbing up and down the edge of the cliff. After careful inspection, they found that there were iron rings inlaid on the cliff’s stone wall. The little monk Climbing down the cliff by stepping on the iron ring, I found this cave. There is a stone room in the cave. There are not only candle lamp oil in the stone room, but also grain and water well.

"The little monk and the master didn't expect that there was a cave here, and they were surprised and happy, but they didn't know who lived here, and they were a little uneasy. At this time, the person who brought the little monk and the master to the ancient monument mountain suddenly appeared. After many years I don't see him, the man was already a little old. After he showed up, he gave the little monk and the master 500 taels of silver, asking the little monk and the master to practice in the cave. The little monk was puzzled, and said to the man that the fire in Xingtang Temple was very serious. Most of them were released by the monks of Jixiang Temple. After they burned Xingtang Temple, they would definitely not let the little monk and master go. If we stay in the cave, sooner or later the monks of Jixiang Temple will find us. They only need to smash the iron rings on the cliff wall, and the monk and master will starve to death in the cave.

"The man didn't care after listening to the little monk, claiming that the monks in Jixiang Temple just wanted to burn the place where the little monk and the master lived, and force us to leave the ancient monument mountain. Right now, the Xingtang Temple where the little monk and the master live has been burned. It has become a blank area, and the monks from Jixiang Temple will not come here to search carefully. As long as the young monk and the master hide in the cave, there will be no trouble. He has urgent matters to deal with right now, so he can't stay in the ancient stele mountain. After the matter is settled, he will definitely return to this place to rebuild Xingtang Temple. Therefore, he only needs to endure for a year or two before the monk and master can see the light of day again.

"The little monk and the master knew that the man was a man of great ability. Seeing his confident appearance, although they were in doubt, they didn't dare to mention the matter of leaving the ancient monument mountain. The man told the little monk and the master that this There is also a secret road in the cave, which can lead to the bottom of the mountain. If the food in the cave is exhausted, the monk and the master can sneak out of the ancient monument mountain through the secret road, and go to the town twenty miles away to buy food After he finished the matter, he would return to Gubei Mountain to help the young monk and master rebuild the Xingtang Temple.

"The little monk and the master heard what the man said firmly, and saw with their own eyes that there was indeed a secret path leading to the foot of the mountain in the cave, so they were relieved and stayed in the cave to meditate, chant scriptures and Buddha. It is true. The person said that the monks from Jixiang Temple did not search around the rocks, so the young monk and master stayed in the cave for nearly three years, and no one came here to bother them.
