nishing speaking, the old monk nodded to me, stood up and walked out of the temple with his hands behind his back. After he left, I chewed the steamed buns and looked around. The temple was not big, and I could see through it at a glance from the door. It looked very ordinary, except that there were red ropes tied around the door frame, corners and windows. This made me a little confused. The young novice was sitting across from me. Maybe he had never seen people outside and was curious about me.
“Is it just you and the master here?”
I asked.
“No, there were a few fellow apprentices a few years ago, but later they all left the mountain and returned to secular life. Now only me and the master are left.”
“Oh.” I nodded after hearing this, “By the way, you just sprinkled red beans at the door. What are you doing?”
The little novice monk was stunned, then he laughed and said: “Haha, my master taught me. He said that there are ghosts in the mountains at night, and they won’t dare to come close if you sprinkle red beans. By the way, there’s also this ever-burning lantern that can’t be used. “Extinguish it, if it’s extinguished.”
As he spoke, he turned back and pointed at the candlestick on the table. The weak firelight seemed to be filled with magic power.
There are bricks and tiles on the head to protect from wind and rain, there is a soft and comfortable quilt under the body, and a slightly shaking candle is lit on the table. My anxious heart relaxed, but my nerves were still highly tense and I couldn’t sleep.
Leaning against the wall, he muttered that it would be nice if he had a cigarette.
In fact, after practicing Yu Lao Chuan’s exercises, I don’t smoke much. Smoking is poisonous. It not only damages the body, but also confuses the Qi in the body. It is a taboo when practicing. I just always think about it when I am annoyed. Take one and relieve the pain in your heart.
Since I couldn’t sleep, I simply walked to the door and took a look outside. A bright moon hangs high in the sky, and the night sky is dotted with stars, which is really beautiful. He sighed, and if he could find the fat man tomorrow morning, he would hide for a while. Lingqian probably wouldn’t give up, and trying to reason with this girl would be useless.
In fact, I was still impulsive at the time. Qin Qianqiu’s life and death had nothing to do with me. I just let him die. Fatty and I were neither accomplices nor heroes, and we were able to escape unscathed in the end.
Now , I’m not too worried about offending Lingqian. What I’m afraid of is her brother, who sounds like a ruthless character.
There are a lot of thoughts in my head, and the more I think about them, the more confused I am, and the more I can’t sleep. Suddenly I heard a noise outside and looked outside the door. I saw the young novice monk in the temple holding a wooden fish in his hand and wandering around the yard while knocking on it.
“Hey, little master, what are you doing?”
I asked strangely.
After hearing the sound, he hurriedly made a silence gesture
