Refining Demon Tutuo

Chapter 304, The Legend of Hidden Treasure
In the dilapidated hall.

There are old and young women and children in the Liu family, so they take a little longer to pack things.Another group of Jianghu people cleaned up quickly, and the two senior brothers from Diancang Mountain kept mumbling while cleaning up.

He Yuan listened for a while, and it should be his junior brother Hou Shifu who wrapped up the things to be used tightly with a bag.Because he wrapped a bit too many layers, the brother next to him complained that he was too careful.

He does not mean that.When Hou Shicheng said what he said, the people around him didn't care, they just took it as a joke.However, Zen Master Can Ye suddenly froze.

Until everyone packed up their things and prepared to go out, he was still there in a daze.

Cheng Li of the Qingcheng faction discovered this situation and wanted to remind Can Ye, but was stopped by Liu Mengjun.

He Yuan also saw this situation, and deliberately walked a little slower, letting everyone in the Liu family go out first to straighten out the horses and vehicles.

"I remembered, the poor monk remembered."

Chan Master Can Ye muttered, saying that the second voice he remembered was very certain.

Liu Mengjun asked, "Master, what did you remember?"

Chan Master Can Ye said decisively: "It happened last night. The monk we saw was covered in blood. I have heard similar things."

"Master, what is that?"

Cheng Li from the Qingcheng faction asked the question like a fan.

It was probably because of finally recalling it, the old monk's voice clearly carried a tinge of joy.

"I once heard people say that there is a deserted temple in Chuzhou area. Several merchants passed by and stayed in that temple."

He started to tell the story, which attracted the attention of the people around him. Everyone in the Liu family and the father and son of the Meng family also heard the voice, so they couldn't help but stop outside the hall to listen to the monk.

"Several merchants were resting in the main hall of the temple. In the middle of the night, they suddenly saw a monk break into the big electricity. The monk stroked the Buddha statue with one hand, and let out bursts of laughter. After a long time, there was no wind, and he disappeared. Everyone thought they had encountered some ghost. , scared out of their wits, and ran out of the temple together."

When Chan Master Can Ye said this, he paused for a moment, and He Yuan thought, this is too similar to what we have encountered.There were also strange expressions on the faces of the rest of the people.

Can Ye went on to say: "Because it was a deserted temple, the merchants ran to the county seat to report to the officials. The county seat sent people to check, and the guards felt that there was something strange about what everyone said, so they searched for traces around the temple.

An old team leader discovered clues and excavated the corpse of a monk from a hidden place.The monk's clothes were already in tatters, but the remains did not rot.

Several merchants who were frightened went over and saw that it was the monk they saw at night.

The head of Kuaishou team in Gongmen said that there was no sign of turning over this place, and the monk's corpse did not crawl out to do what happened at night.

At first, the county magistrate thought that these merchants had harmed the monk.Fortunately, the old team leader said that the monk was definitely not killed by these people, and that monk had been killed for a while.

A wise man among the merchants thought of the monk at night who cared for the Buddha statue like a treasure. He tentatively told the people next to him that if the monk turned into a ghost and still missed the Buddha statue, he was afraid that the Buddha statue was weird.

At his suggestion, everyone checked around the Buddha statue, and finally, on the back of the Buddha statue, they found traces of repairs.

The guard opened it from that place and saw that there was a hollow in the huge Buddha statue, which contained a lot of gold, silver and jewels.

Everyone was amazed when they saw it.The old team leader said that it has been a long time since the treasure was put in, and the traces of sealing and repairing are not new. This matter has nothing to do with the merchants.

The county government got the jewels and took out some of them as rewards.Send a sea arrest document to catch the murderer.A bandit who has been around for a long time provided information.The county government caught several old thieves.

Several old thieves confessed, and they worked together on the case.They heard that the temple was quite rich and wanted to make a fortune.But after killing the monk, they found nothing.

The villain was brought to justice, and the merchants also got some rewards.

This matter was a bit bizarre, and everyone was dumbfounded when they heard it.

After telling the story, Chan Master Can Ye said to everyone: "When the poor monk heard this story, he was still lamenting that this Buddhist disciple was nostalgic for gold and silver things and worldly wealth. Not only did he hide treasures during his lifetime, but he still cared about wealth and treasures after death. It's a pity. It's been too long, and I almost forgot it. Unexpectedly, I encountered something weird last night, and the poor monk couldn't remember it for a while. The sentence of the benefactor Hou just now - hiding things, reminded the poor monk, and finally remembered this A story. I don’t know if it’s true or not, but it’s very similar to the monk we saw last night.”

Liu Mengjun asked: "You said in the story that the temple is located in Chuzhou, but it is thousands of miles away from Chuzhou. How could the same thing happen?"

Chan Master Can Ye said: "The poor monk can't figure it out. He just remembered this similar thing. Let's go."

As the old monk spoke, he wanted to lead everyone out of the hall.But.After his story was told, several young people didn't want to leave so quickly.

Li Dayuan said: "Since there are treasures hidden by monks in the story told by the master, let's see if there is something in the Buddha statue. The monk walked around the Buddha statue last night and was still lying on the Buddha statue. Perhaps there are also treasures in this Buddha statue." . Otherwise, let's open it and have a look?"

Someone next to him joined in.

Chan Master Can Ye shook his head: "The story is mostly fabricated by someone. In Buddhism, Buddha statues are often cast and stored inside. There are precious and ordinary things for storage. People who want to make up stories know this allusion Ceremony, that's why I said that. How can it be such a coincidence. Since nothing happened last night, we don't need to linger here anymore, let's leave early."

Li Dayuan said: "Master, let's go and have a look, we won't waste any time." As he spoke, he and Hou Shicheng of the Diancang sect climbed on the lotus seat of the Buddha statue, one on the left and one on the right.

The lotus seat is as tall as half a person, so there is no difficulty for two people.They looked up, down, left, and right around the Buddha statue, but found no trace.

Turning to the back of the Buddha statue, Li Dayuan exclaimed: "Sure enough, there are traces of being moved."

After he said this, Hou Shifu also ran over.Chan Master Canye didn't move.Liu Mengjun was dragged by her friend Cheng Li to watch the fun.

Meng Liye, the second child of the Meng family, saw that there was a lot of excitement and wanted to go in, but was stopped by He Yuan.

He Yuan said to Meng Liye: "So many people squeezed past, we couldn't see anything. Even if it is beneficial, we don't have to take advantage of it."

Meng Fa'an also said to his son: "Master He is right, this matter has nothing to do with us."

Meng Liye stopped in resentment.

Several young men from the Qingcheng School and the Diancang School were skilled in martial arts, and with just a few strokes of their fists and kicks, they broke through the repair marks on the back of the Buddha statue.

Someone shouted: "Found it, there is something in it."
