Worship tomorrow

Chapter 56
Temple, in the main hall.

Under the auspices of Yunhai, the monks began chanting sutras and practicing rituals to cleanse the temple of sins.

The sound of wooden fish and chanting filled the entire temple.

The entire ritual lasted until evening.

Seeing the sun setting in the west, the stomachs of the monks began to growl.

After all, vegetarians don’t tolerate hunger.

Huigen, who was in charge of the kitchen, left first, went to the kitchen, and started to light a fire to cook.

Smoke soon came out of the chimney.

After Huigen cooked a large pot of porridge, he carried the vegetable basket, opened the wooden door next to it, and entered the vegetable garden.

The big wolfdog that was tied up in the vegetable garden stood up immediately after hearing the sound and started wagging its tail at him.

Hui Gen first pulled out a few radishes in the vegetable garden, and then picked some green vegetables.

After filling the vegetable basket, he stood up and walked to the hay shed where the wolf dog was tied up, muttering to himself: "Ah Huang, Ah Huang, you live a better life than anyone else."

The straw shed was built with a few logs and some thatch, with some pine hair and thatch piled inside. It was a kennel for the big wolfdog.

Hui Gen went in to clean up, then took the sickle, walked to the corner, cut something, and left the hay shed.

"Cooking."

He carried the vegetable basket and walked out of the vegetable garden. As soon as he reached the door of the kitchen, he suddenly stopped there.

A few breaths of silence.

A figure came out of the kitchen.

Huigen looked at the mask on his face, subconsciously held the sickle in the food basket, and said with confusion on his face: "Demon Slayer? I saw you at noon, didn't you leave? Why are you hiding in the kitchen again? "

Luo Qingfeng looked at him and said: "Demon slayers are naturally here to slay demons. How can I leave before the demon is slain?"

"magic?"

Huigen looked puzzled: "Where is the devil? Didn't Huitong do those things? Didn't he abscond out of fear of crime?"

Luo Qingfeng shook his head, looked at him and said, "Not only did he not escape, but he was also killed."

Huigen said no more.

Luo Qingfeng looked at him and said, "I don't care, who killed him?"

Huigen suddenly sneered: "I think he was killed by you. You wore a mask, appeared in our temple for no reason, and then came back again. You said you were a demon slayer, but you are a demon slayer? I think you He’s the murderer! I’m afraid all the disappearances that occurred during this period have something to do with you, right?”

Luo Qingfeng said: "It's good to blame someone else. But, can a strategy be used twice in a row?"

As he spoke, he threw something on the ground.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a burnt black bone.

"I found it on the stove."

Luo Qingfeng looked at him and said, "Do monks also eat meat?"

At this time, a burst of footsteps suddenly came in a hurry.

Then, Abbot Yunhai led a group of monks and walked quickly in from the door.

Hui Gen immediately shouted: "Abbott, brothers and sisters! This man is the murderer of those women! He was hiding in the kitchen just now with the intention of poisoning us and killing us all in the temple! He is extremely vicious!"

"Oh?"

Luo Qingfeng looked calm: "Then what's in your food basket?"

Hui Gen clenched the vegetable basket in his hand and sneered: "The vegetable basket is of course filled with vegetables! Radish, cabbage, cabbage! What does it have to do with you?"

"Shh!"

At this moment, there was a sudden flash of cold light behind him, and the vegetable basket in his hand immediately broke into two halves and fell to the ground.

The turnips and greens fell to the ground.

At the bottom, a bloody piece of meat was exposed!
Seeing this scene, Yun Hai and other monks' expressions suddenly changed.

"what is this?"

Luo Qingfeng asked.

Huigen hurriedly explained to Yunhai: "Abbott, this is rabbit meat. The disciple picked it up from the back mountain and prepared it for Ah Huang to eat..."

Yun Hai's face turned pale and his lips trembled slightly.

The pieces of meat on the ground don't look like rabbit meat, but like...

"It should have been brought from the vegetable garden, right?"

Luo Qingfeng glanced at the piece of meat on the ground and said, "If I guessed correctly, the missing Huitong should be there."

As soon as these words came out, Huigen's expression changed drastically.

Luo Qingfeng looked at him again and said: "If you want to put the blame on him, naturally you have to kill him first, so that the dead person will not be able to explain himself."

"Bullshit! You lie!"

Hui Gen immediately clenched the sickle in his hand and shouted excitedly: "Abbott, he is the murderer! He is the murderer!"

Luo Qingfeng said: "Look at the sickle in your hand. The blood stains on it haven't been wiped off yet. You were too careless."

Huigen trembled all over and hurriedly looked down at the sickle in his hand, subconsciously trying to wipe it on the green vegetables on the ground.

But the sickle was clean and there was no blood.

"I'm trying to scare you, I'm lying to you."

Luo Qingfeng suddenly said again.Huigen suddenly stagnated.

Luo Qingfeng then said slowly: "You should have known in advance that we were coming to the temple, so you created the incident where Huitong got interested and kidnapped the people. After being summoned by the abbot, he was afraid that the matter would be ruined, so he ran away immediately. Let me Guess when you found out..."

"It must have been during lunch time. When you came back and saw signs that someone had entered the kitchen, or you marked the door of the vegetable garden, you would be able to find it as long as someone opened the door or entered. Am I right?"

"It's a pity that the mud on the trees, the mud on the walls, and the footprints under the corners are all too clumsy. If the murderer was really so careless, he would have been found out by the police long ago. Also, when I said it in the hall After that woman was killed, you couldn't hold back the expression on your face, and you also acted very wrong on the way from the main hall to Huitong's room..."

"Of course, these are just speculations. The evidence is that there is some smell of stove ashes and cooking fumes on the woman's clothes and body. When you carried her up a tree and over a wall, you used too much force and accidentally got something under your fingernails. It’s all left on her body. After you took off her clothes, you couldn’t help but touch her a few times, right?”

"You just finished cooking and haven't washed your hands yet, right?"

Hui Gen suddenly turned pale and his body trembled. He tightened his grip on the sickle in his hand and began to retreat towards the door of the vegetable garden.

Luo Qingfeng said again: "Take out your hands and let everyone see your fingers and nails."

Huigen suddenly trembled, and hurriedly put one hand behind his back, while the other hand holding the sickle was tucked into his abdomen.

Seeing this scene, Yunhai and the monks suddenly had no doubts anymore, and they all looked at him with disbelief and anger.

Luo Qingfeng suddenly said again: "Master Abbot, let's go to the vegetable garden and have a look?"

Just as Yun Hai was about to speak, Hui Gen hurriedly hit the sickle with his hand, retreated to the door of the vegetable garden, and said with a ferocious face: "Don't come over! I will kill anyone who comes over!"

"Shh!"

Suddenly there was a flash of cold light, and the sickle blade in his hand fell to the ground.

He held the empty hilt, was stunned for a moment, and turned to look at the corner next to him.

A petite figure wearing a white rabbit mask stood there silently, holding a sword with a cold light in his hand.

Yun Hai trembled and shouted angrily: "Hui Gen! Why don't you kneel down and confess your guilt!"

Hui Gen looked at him, his body trembled a few times, and his expression became more ferocious: "Pleas guilty? What crime is this disciple guilty of?"

Yun Hai said angrily: "You killed someone, your own senior brother, and you dare to say you are not guilty!"

Huigen lowered his head, his eyes gradually turned red, and he was silent for a long time. Then he suddenly smiled miserably: "I just want to eat some meat. Is this sinful?"

The expression on his face suddenly turned sad and resentful, and his eyes filled with tears.

"I was sold here since I was a child. I work as a cow and horse for you. I chop wood and make fires by myself, grow vegetables and cook, sweep the floor and do laundry. When I have a little free time, I have to knock wooden fish and chant sutras. Hahahaha... I recite your mother's sutras! I have worked hard for so many years, but I just picked up a burnt rabbit in the back mountain. I couldn't bear to take it back and ate a few bites, but you beat me so hard that I couldn't get out of bed, and you made me kneel for three days and three nights... …”

"I don't accept it! I don't accept it!"

"Just because I can't help you make incense money? Just because I'm just a cook? Just because I'm a slave you bought, are you treating me like this?"

Yunhai clasped his hands together, his face full of pain: "Amitabha, the Buddha said, endure hardship..."

"Hahahahaha..."

Huigen suddenly burst out laughing wildly: "Old man! It's now this time, and you're still pretending to be kind? When you were secretly counting the incense money in the meditation room, you had that greedy and disgusting face, as if you wanted to endure hardship. ? Why don’t you endure hardship? Apart from being able to chant sutras, meditate, sleep, eat, and teach others, what else do you do? Have you ever endured hardship?”

"Amitabha……"

Yunhai closed his eyes and lowered his head, not arguing.

The disciples behind him all stared with anger in their faces: "Hui Gen! You are still talking nonsense! Why don't you just surrender quickly!"

Huigen suddenly looked at them with red eyes, laughed a few times and said: "You are not good people! Every time a female pilgrim comes, she has to take a few secret glances. When she returns to the room every night, they discuss it. Which female pilgrim has a big butt so she can have children! Hahahaha... They are all a bunch of sanctimonious, shameless people!"

All the monks' faces turned red with anger, and they all cursed angrily and wanted to catch him.

"catch him!"

"Catch this evil thief!"

Huigen laughed a few times and suddenly stepped back into the vegetable garden behind him.

"Chase! Don't let this evil thief escape!"

Everyone immediately gathered around Yunhai and chased him into the vegetable garden.

Hui Gen did not run away, but squatted in front of the hay shed, hugged the big wolf dog, stroked it tenderly, and said with tears: "Ah Huang, Ah Huang... you are the only one who is the best to me." Yes, you are the only one who never orders me around, never scolds me, never looks down on me...only you are the one who loves me..."

When the big wolf dog saw the monks approaching menacingly, it immediately bared its fangs and let out a ferocious whimper.

Hui Gen stroked it gently a few more times and slowly untied the rope around its neck.

Seeing this, the monks retreated hurriedly.

Someone immediately went to get sticks, stones and other things to protect the abbot.

"Ah Huang, Ah Huang... let's go, let's go quickly, go far away, and never come back to this place of fake mercy..."

Huigen stood up slowly, walked into the thatched shed, pulled out a corpse from under the thatch, tore off a piece of meat, and placed it in front of the big wolf dog. His eyes were full of doting: "Eat it, I can only I’ll feed you for the last time..."

Ah Huang took a bite and started chewing.

When the monks saw the corpse on the ground and saw this scene, their faces were filled with horror, and they couldn't help but vomit.

Huigen sneered, raised his head, looked at them with scarlet eyes and said: "Is it disgusting? No, it smells very good. I have killed so many people, and I will never forget you every time. Every time I cook the rice , Aren’t you all eating with relish? And you, abbot, I cook the most for you every time, and you eat the most delicious food every time, not a drop of soup is left in the bowl..."

"vomit--"

As soon as these words came out, the faces of Yun Hai and the remaining monks who had not vomited changed greatly, and they all bent over and vomited, with expressions of horror on their faces.

"Hahahahahaha..."

Huigen looked up to the sky and laughed. The corners of his mouth suddenly split open, and two sharp fangs sprouted from his mouth. His hands quickly turned into ten sharp bone claws!
His body also began to grow larger, and the monk's robe on his body ripped apart with a "squeak" sound.

His face was torn apart, revealing his white bones!
"Ah! Demon! Demon—"

When the monks saw this scene, they were so frightened that they fled from the vegetable garden in a hurry.

Yunhai was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground, trembling all over.
