My master is the coffin

Chapter 14 Bad Luck
I stood up resentfully, and followed the abbot into a meditation room.

The abbot looked solemn: "Xu You, what do you think of this person?"

I thought about it: "It doesn't look like a bad guy, but it feels like he has a lot of secrets."

The abbot nodded: "Anyway, be careful."

The two of us randomly found a monk's robe and took it out.

When we returned to the main hall, we saw Zhang Yuan sitting cross-legged on the futon, doing exercises with his eyes closed.The abbot and I didn't dare to disturb, we stood aside and watched quietly.

After a while, there was a little blood on his pale face.Only then did I realize that he was no longer young.I didn't notice anything from his pale face just now, but when he finally gained some popularity, I found that his face was already tired.

Then, he opened his eyes, took the monk's robe from the monk, and changed into it.Immediately, he pulled his long hair into a bun again.

After doing all this, he asked us with concern: "Have you had dinner yet?"

Both the abbot and I shook our heads.

Zhang Yuan suddenly widened his eyes and shouted: "Why don't you cook soon?"

The abbot didn't even fart, so he went to cook.

Then he told me again: "Go outside the temple and burn the coffin."

I looked back at the black lacquered coffin and was suddenly taken aback.The coffin, which was originally shiny and well-preserved, was mottled and peeled off in a short period of one hour, and the wooden boards also appeared rotten.

I wanted to move the coffin out, but I pulled it casually, and a piece of wood was pulled down.When the coffin was finally dragged up from the pit, it was already a pile of rotten wood, and it did not look like the original coffin at all.

I looked at Zhang Yuan in amazement: "Master...Father, what's going on?"

Zhang Yuan glanced at the wood: "My essence is attached to the coffin. This coffin is equivalent to a living person. Naturally, it will not break after more than ten years. Now that I have found my body, it has become a piece of wood again. Naturally and rot."

I nodded, carried the logs outside the temple, lit the fire and started burning.

The rotten wood is difficult to burn, the fire is small, and there is a lot of smoke, which floats to the smelly river outside the Dasheng Temple, mixing with the stench from the river water.

I suddenly remembered the thing about the skinny Taoist priest recruiting water ghosts, I couldn't help shivering, quickened my pace, and fled back to the temple.

When I went back, the abbot and Zhang Yuan were eating.I noticed that Zhang Yuan seemed very unaccustomed to these meals, and he had to chew for a long time before swallowing each bite.In ten minutes, I only ate two bites.

After dinner, it was nearly midnight.The abbot and I saw that there was nothing wrong, so we went back to our room to sleep.

It was a restless sleep.I woke up countless times during the night.Every time I can see Zhang Yuan standing upright in the yard, I don't know what he is thinking.

After getting up the next day, the monk did not open the temple door to do business.Because there is still a pit on the main hall.Zhang Yuanba occupied the place and wouldn't let us fill it in.

Throughout the morning, he was like a clay sculpture, sitting on the futon with his eyes closed.It doesn't mean to teach my apprentice a little Taoism at all.

I thought about it, and said to the abbot, "I'll go back to school and bring the contract, let's sign it."

The abbot was a little surprised: "What contract?"

I said lightly: "Buy the insurance contract, you promised me yesterday."

The abbot was speechless.

I said to Zhang Yuan: "Master, I'll go back to school and get something."

Zhang Yuan still had his eyes closed, but the corners of his mouth were raised, revealing a ghostly smile: "Go."

That smile made me shiver all over, it was so wicked.

After leaving the Dasheng Temple, I suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and finally escaped from Zhang Yuan. I felt like I was released from prison.

I waved and stopped a taxi: "Go to Shanda University."

The driver who drove the taxi turned his head and looked at me: "Little brother, you don't look very good, you're disheartened, it's not going well recently."

What I said shocked me, and I couldn't help but think of what Master said just now.However, I was soon relieved, probably because I didn't sleep well these two days, and I was tossed by wild ghosts and dead people, so I looked rather tired.

The taxi was driving fast along the way, and soon, the gate of our school was in front of us.At this time, I touched my pocket and couldn't help but yelled secretly: "It's broken, I don't have any money with me at all."

Seeing that the driver has slowly stopped at the school gate.At this time, I was quick to wit, stretched out my hand to open the car door, rushed out with a stride, and ran towards the school suddenly.

The driver had to react for ten seconds before he realized it, and chased after him cursing.But I'm mostly familiar with the mountains, and after turning a few turns, I got rid of this kid.

The dormitory auntie was sitting at the door of the dormitory building, and when she saw me coming from a distance, she glared at me fiercely. Not to be outdone, I just glared back.

Just as I was about to enter the door, a person came out suddenly and grabbed me: "Xu You? Are you okay? I haven't seen you for so many days. I thought you were dead, and I was going to summon your soul."

When I heard what a mess it was, I turned around and saw that it was the skinny Taoist priest.

I touched the scab on my body, and it had already begun to scab, so I nodded and said, "It's almost gone."

I thought about it and said to him, "We have found the expert you mentioned."

Then, I told him how the coffin was dug out, how Zhang Yuan was buried under the ghost market, and how I worshiped the teacher.

After hearing this, the skinny Taoist priest was very envious: "It would be great if I could be an apprentice. When will you take me to meet him?"

I said happily: "Okay, then you are my junior brother, haha."

The two of us were chatting and laughing at the entrance of the building. Suddenly, I felt a pair of hands grabbed my collar, and then yelled: "Boy, so you are here?"

I looked back, and couldn't help but said with a bitter face: "Master, I don't have any money with me, isn't this to withdraw money for you?"

The taxi driver was furious, glared at me and said, "I've been waiting so long to catch you. I can do three jobs in this time. You'll pay double the money."

I had no choice but to nod repeatedly: "Double, double."

Seeing my embarrassment, the skinny Taoist probably knew that I had no money on me, so he simply took out a few bills from his pocket and paid for it for me.

There was no one in the dormitory, and he hadn't come back for a few days, making it even more messy.I found the contract from a pile of waste paper, kicked it in my pocket, and then went back to the Dasheng Temple with the skinny Taoist priest.

When he returned to the temple, Zhang Yuan was still doing exercises with his legs crossed. The abbot was bored and sat on the stool in a daze.

I walked over and patted him on the shoulder: "There is electricity in your temple, buy a TV, don't you have to be so boring?"

The abbot shook his head: "The place where Buddhism is practiced is stretching wires and watching TV. If it spreads out and people make irresponsible remarks, how bad will it be?"

I shook my head: "Why are you still so dedicated to your job as a fake monk? There are many real monks out there who know how to go online. Come on, stop talking nonsense, and quickly sign and pledge." While talking, I took out the contract.

The abbot and I were talking nonsense, and the skinny Taoist priest was not idle either. He looked at Zhang Yuan with reverence and said, "Master, can you accept me as an apprentice?"

Zhang Yuan opened his eyes slowly, and he really looked like a master of Taoism: "Little Taoist priest."

The skinny Taoist hastily agreed nervously.

Zhang Yuan went on to say: "According to the rules of our sect, everyone in our sect must accept one apprentice. Moreover, we can only accept one apprentice. Now that Xu You has already apprenticed as a teacher, I can no longer accept you."

The skinny Taoist looked depressed and looked like he was about to cry.

However, Zhang Yuan said slowly again: "But..."

The skinny Taoist immediately became hopeful, leaned over, and asked earnestly, "But what?"

Zhang Yuan looked at him, and said slowly: "However, you stay here for two days first. Let me see the situation."

The skinny Taoist was so excited that he almost knelt down to Zhang Yuan.

All day long, he surrounded Zhang Yuan, asking how to summon ghosts and how to draw talismans.Zhang Yuan always had an inscrutable look, and he couldn't answer a single question after ten questions. Even if he answered, it was cloudy and vague.

At dinner time, Zhang Yuan stood up after eating two or three mouthfuls. When he passed by me, he suddenly bent down and said in a very small voice: "Tonight, I will teach you the first lesson for the teacher. You have to study hard." Then, he pouted at the skinny Taoist priest with a mysterious expression on his face.

I looked at him anxiously: "What are you going to do?"

He didn't answer me, and walked slowly outside the temple.

I can tell that Zhang Yuan acts eccentrically and never plays cards according to common sense.There may be something new tonight, and you want to trick me.

I finished my meal anxiously, and then lay on the bed anxiously.

Then, wait for Zhang Yuan to come to me.

It was quiet at night, it was early spring, and it was still a little cold.Insects do not fly, birds do not sing.I listen to my breathing, feel my heartbeat.more and more tense.

In ancient times, concubines bathed and changed clothes, stripped naked, then wrapped in brocade quilts by young eunuchs, and carried to the emperor's bedroom.Nervously and expectantly waiting for the emperor to come in.

Tonight, I feel a bit like those concubines, except that I am only nervous and have no expectations.

I don't know how long I waited, but Zhang Yuan never came.I felt a little tormented, and I couldn't help thinking: "No matter what tricks you have, let me try it quickly, and go to bed early after tossing, it makes me worry, and it's too bad."

Then, as I scolded in my heart, my consciousness began to blur.Then, he fell into a deep sleep.

I don't know how long I slept.Suddenly, a sound was heard outside.I didn't sleep soundly at first, but when the sound came out, I woke up immediately.

I was overjoyed: "It's finally here?"

However, when I listened sideways again, there was no movement again.I turned over and planned to go back to sleep, but at this moment, a rush of urination came up.
