Volume 6 (Part I) Yin Ghost Road Chapter 39 Wordless Stone Tablet
The Master of the Empty Ring called Nangong Xiaoseng, Miyazaki Mei Yizi, Chen Wusheng and Jin Jishou into his meditation room.
A little novice brought a few pots of tea, and he looked at Jin Jishou with a slightly frightened look, and hurried out, closing the door of the meditation room as instructed.
"Ladies and gentlemen......" The Void Ring Master was about to speak, but was interrupted by Jin Jishou.
"I'm sorry, Master." Jin Jishou said: "Today, I was reckless, and I hope the master will not care." ”
Jin Jishou is not a stupid person, since Nangong is here, he must not be able to use the previous means. He had planned to use force, which was his usual style, and he thought it was pedantic to Nangong Monk's way of being too compassionate. But now that the situation has changed, of course, we must first express our stance to alleviate the tense situation just now, so as not to have any untruths in his next remarks.
"It doesn't matter." The Master of the Void Ring immediately showed the image of a high-ranking monk and said, "I didn't know that the donor actually knew the old man before, and the old man was also a little sluggish. The donor doesn't have to worry about it, the old man has been participating in the Buddha for many years, and the four major ones have already been empty, so he won't care too much. ”
Although Jin Jishou said that it was on the surface, he completely scoffed at what "the four are empty", people must be indispensable in the world to eat, drink and Lazar, if Yueshan Temple does not collect so much incense money, it can't raise so many monks, where is there a look of "four are empty"? But it has nothing to do with him, as long as this bald donkey confides the truth earlier, he doesn't bother to bother with him.
"These cups of tea are brewed with the water of mountain springs, and the former Guanghai virtuous brother is also a tea lover. It's a pity that the Si people have passed away. But now I am fortunate to meet his successors. My heart is also very comforted. ”
The little monk of Nangong looked at the abbot. I couldn't help but think of the reality of Shijie's master, and I couldn't help but have an indescribable kindness, and immediately picked up the teacup and said, "Since it is the tea that Master Tai loves, I, a disciple, will also taste it today." ”
He didn't seem to be in the slightest hurry, anyway, it was all at this time, even if it was half a quarter of the night. It doesn't matter anymore. After all, he is the strongest ghost, and he still has this kind of bearing.
After the abbot finished tasting the tea, he began to get down to business.
"Everything goes back decades...... I don't remember the exact year, but it should be the 70s of the last century. At that time, I was the abbot of Kongshan Temple, and Guanghai Xian was a young brother who had just arrived in Hong Kong. Although he is a member of the Taoist lineage, he has a lot of fate with me. He used to spend several days in the empty mountain temple. At that time, I told him something. That is a mysterious wordless stone tablet in Kongshan Temple. ”
"Wordless stele?" Nangong Xiaosheng felt that this was the key point. Could it be that it's a curse of the dead?
"Yes, Lin Xian's nephew doesn't seem to know about this."
"The family master didn't mention it, and Master Tai is an old man, I haven't had the pleasure of meeting him."
"Kongshan Temple was established in the Republic of China period, at the intersection of Sizhen Road in the old town of Kowloon at that time, and now it is completely deserted. Sizhen Road is not too long, but there are many ancient buildings from the Republic of China period that have been preserved, so it also attracted many tourists at that time. And Kongshan Temple is one of the ancient temples that remained. And that wordless stele seems to have existed since then. The stele is nearly six or seven meters high and three or four meters wide, and the whole body seems to be made of marble. When I first shaved my ordination at Kongshan Temple, the stele was already here, and it was located at the very end of several meditation rooms in Kongshan Temple, just at the intersection of Sizhen Road. And the one who shaved me was the previous abbot master of Kongshan Temple, who was also my master. Master once mentioned to me that the wordless stone tablet must never be moved. Before he passed away and ordered me to become the new abbot, he told me that the stele must not be moved. ”
"I've always had an inexplicable fear of that stele. Whether it was when I was just shaved or when I became abbot, I didn't dare to go to the place where the stone tablet was. Every time I walk there, I feel that even the sunlight is inexplicably diminishing. When I arrived in Zuihou, this sense of fear became stronger and stronger, and it was clear that there was not a word on the stone tablet, and there were no bones buried under it, but I was still worried in my heart, so every time I went to see it, I had to go to the meditation room again and recite the Heart Sutra again. However, no matter how many times I read the scriptures, the fear in my heart is difficult to dispel even a little, and I always feel that there seems to be a very terrible existence sealed in the stone tablet. ”
"This matter has always bothered me, and I even thought that if I was not pure in the six roots, I would have demons in my heart. And at this time, when Brother Guanghai arrived, I immediately took him to see the stone tablet. At that time, just walking on the way to the stone monument, he felt that something was wrong. At that time, he said to me, 'Master Abbot, there seems to be some kind of 'foreign body' in front of here. ”
"The stele was at the intersection of Sizhen Road, and when he came there, he immediately said: 'This stele is facing the junction, and it seems that it is sealing something deep into the road so that it cannot leave it.'" When I heard this, I was shocked and hurriedly said, 'Amitabha, Brother Guanghai, this is the pure land of Buddhism, how can there be such evil things?' Then, Brother Guanghai calculated a hexagram for me. After calculating this hexagram, his face changed drastically, and he screamed in horror, and then, he vomited blood from his mouth and fainted on the spot! ”
Nangong Xiaosheng listened to his words, and the more he listened, the more shocking he felt.
"So...... Afterward? ”
This fainting lasted for three days and three nights. During this period, I also asked a doctor to see him, but I couldn't say why. When he woke up again, he turned pale, looked at me, and said, 'Master Abbot, this is the number of great evils. In my life, I have been spying on the heavens, but I didn't expect that I couldn't change my life against the sky. I hurriedly asked why, and he continued: "You should leave quickly, leave the Kongshan Temple as soon as possible, and you may have a chance to save your life!" ’”
"After that, no matter what I asked, he wouldn't say. Later, I investigated some things on my own, Sizhen Road is an ancient road with a very long history, so it still maintains a lot of buildings from the Republic of China period. However, after the war, a lot of information has been difficult to find, but the empty mountain temple is lucky, has been preserved, and it is also the oldest ancient building on Sizhen Road. ”
And then. A certain day. I found out that he actually took in an apprentice. That is, your master. Your master has a very high level of understanding, and Guanghai also treats him as his own, even very strictly. I felt at that time that your master seemed to be doing something. Soon, my hunch came true. ”
"On that day, suddenly people from Huating Construction came to find us. It is said that the city government decided to renovate the old city, and the Kongshan Temple has not been full of incense, so it was also decided to demolish it. Re-establishment of new residential areas. Naturally, I am resolutely opposed, Kongshan Temple is an ancient temple with a long history, how can it be demolished casually? Moreover, Brother Guanghai also said to me, no matter what, this ancient temple cannot be demolished! I know, for sure, because of the wordless stele. ”
"However, the people at Huating Construction are very tough. I scoffed at the land deed of the Republic of China period. What time is it now, and what is the use of this title deed? And reiterate. This is a project construction of the city government, and all the buildings in this area will be demolished, and Kongshan Temple is no exception. I am allowed to dismiss the monks in the monastery within one month, otherwise I will let the bulldozers forcibly demolish the monastery! ”
"At that time, I protested strongly against this incident with Brother Guanghai. In particular, Brother Guanghai repeatedly reiterated that the Kongshan Temple must not be demolished, once the stone tablet no longer exists, the consequences are unimaginable. When he said those words, his face was unusually pale. And I believed what he said and decided to fight to the end. However, not everyone in the monastery thinks this way. They would rather take a sum of the demolition compensation money to go to another monastery than continue to stay in this small monastery that no longer has much incense. ”
"Zuihou, the boss of Huating Construction, Shen Huating personally came forward. At that time, the existence of some ancient buildings on Sizhen Road made some historical heritage protectors very opposed to demolition, so he had to personally come forward to persuade again and again. At that time, I fought with Brother Guanghai and Shen Huating together. When we arrived in Zuihou, Brother Guanghai and I even proposed to make the biggest concession, and the stone monument at the intersection of Sizhen Road hoped to be preserved. ”
"However, how could Boss Shen agree that this place will be built as a residential area in the future, leaving a stone monument, who will come to live? At that time, he saw that Brother Guanghai was more opposed than me, so he played some tricks and arranged for the police to arrest him, saying that he was engaged in feudal superstitious activities. And I, zuihou, can't stand up to them, watching. By the time Guanghai was released, it was already a wooden boat. I've tried a lot, but how can I stand up to their bulldozers? I saw the stele being shoveled down with my own eyes. ”
After that, Sizhen Road became history, and the road was completely widened, and the surrounding area was completely flat. Then, the piles were driven, and Huating Construction began to build a large number of buildings. But after that, all the people involved in the construction, one by one, began to disappear! At first, he was just an ordinary worker, but to Zuihou, and even to the Minister of Construction of Huating Construction at that time, and even Boss Shen himself came to investigate. At that time, it once caused a lot of panic, and the stele incident at that time had caused a certain turmoil, and many people immediately said that it was because of the punishment caused by the overturning of the stele on Sizhen Road. ”
The rumors intensified, which dealt a fatal blow to the construction of Huating at that time. The number of missing people is increasing, and there is no trace of them. Zuihou, even the police are involved in the investigation, but they have never been able to find any names. When it comes to zuihou, no one is willing to do things no matter how much money is given. This project eventually had to be put on hold. And zuihou, Boss Shen had to come to me and Guanghai, and it was no problem to say how much money it was, and ask Guanghai to save him. ”
Then Guanghai told him that although the stele had been knocked down, he had set up a back hand. He told him that the Four Virgin Roads were connected to a 'road' of the souls of the dead, and he said that he would call it the 'Yin Ghost Road'. After the stele is torn down, the souls of the 'road' that was originally suppressed will redirect the living to that path. However, the most terrifying thing is the deepest part of that 'road'. Even he didn't know what was in it, he only knew, so he calculated the most dangerous mortal hexagram. He knew that he would never be able to escape this catastrophe, so he found an apprentice in advance and taught him what he had learned. ”
And he ...... Able to temporarily seal the 'Ghost Road'. (To be continued......)
