Chapter 644: Tunnel

A short little monk rushed into the guest room aggressively and shouted loudly: "You people are all thieves. We take you in with good intentions, but you actually do such a thing!"

The young monk's name was Wu Xin. His face was red with anger and his eyes were wide open, as if he was about to spit out fire.

Tuobayu heard the noise and immediately rushed out from another room.

She frowned and yelled with an angry look on her face: "What nonsense are you talking about? What evidence is there that we stole things?"

Tuobayu's eyes widened, and his eyes flashed with anger, as if he might explode at any time.

Wuxin looked at Tuobayu, his chest heaving violently, his voice trembling with anger.

"Hmph, the thing was still there yesterday, but it disappeared early this morning. Who else could it be if it wasn't you?"

He clenched his fists, his face full of anger.

When Tuobayu heard this, a trace of surprise flashed across his face, but then he stiffened his neck and refuted: "Based on this, you concluded that it was us? You little monk are too arbitrary! You lost it yourself, but here you are Count on us!”

Tuobayu's eyes were full of dissatisfaction, his cheeks were bulging, and he looked like he would never give up.

Wuxin's eyes seemed to be bursting with fire. He took a step forward, pointed directly at Tuobayu and said, "I think it's just you who are motivated by wealth. Don't think that I don't know what you people are thinking!" His voice sounded. Sharp and harsh.

Tuobayu sneered, folded his arms in front of his chest, and his eyes were full of disdain: "Humph, don't spit on people, don't bite people without evidence!"

After saying that, he glared at Wu Xin fiercely, his eyes seemed to be able to see through people.

The two of them were in a stalemate, and the atmosphere was extremely tense for a while.

Xi Yu hurriedly walked forward, frowning, and said anxiously: "Oh, stop arguing! Let's talk about what you have to say!" He stretched out his hands to try to separate the two of them.

Tuobayu, however, still glared angrily, stared at Wuxin fiercely, and said loudly: "Xiyu, you shouldn't be so kind to them! If this little monk talks nonsense again, I won't be polite!"

Tuobayu's face was filled with anger and his teeth were clenching.

At this moment, Ouyang Linlin hurried over. Her face was full of pain and remorse, her eyes were red, and her voice was crying: "It's all my fault. It's all my fault. If I hadn't If you propose to live here, you won’t have such problems.”

She lowered her head, her shoulders shaking slightly.

Seeing this, Wu Xin still frowned and muttered: "Huh, it's your problem anyway."

Tuobayu snorted coldly, crossed his arms across his chest, and looked like he would never give in.

Xi Yu looked at all this helplessly and sighed heavily.

At this time, the old monk heard the noise and hurried over. He looked majestic, frowned, and scolded the young monk Wuxin: "Wuxin, don't talk nonsense!"

Wuxin looked reluctant, curled his lips, lowered his head and sighed softly.

Ouyang Linlin's face was full of confusion and helplessness, her eyes were full of sorrow, and she murmured: "Oh, why did something happen when we stayed overnight?"

Xi Yu also had a serious face. He looked at the old monk and said seriously: "Master, you'd better find out the matter quickly. We can't waste time here every day." There was a trace of eagerness and impatience in his eyes. .

The old monk nodded slightly, with a flash of thought in his eyes, and then comforted him: "Everyone, please be patient and wait until I find out the truth."

After saying that, he turned around to investigate.

Xi Yu frowned and said seriously: "Master, I'm afraid it's difficult to find out clearly just by you. In my opinion, it's better to report it to the official." After saying that, he looked at the old monk firmly.

The old monk stroked his beard, nodded slightly and said, "That's fine, that's fine. It's indeed more appropriate to report to the official."

When Tuobayu heard this, his eyes widened immediately, his face was full of irritation and anger, and he shouted loudly: "Don't affect our affairs, or I will burn this place down!"

She put her hands on her hips and her eyes were full of sternness.

Xi Yu and the old monk were both startled by Tuobayu's fierce reaction.

Xi Yu quickly advised: "Tuoba Yu, please don't be impulsive. There is always a solution to everything, don't be so extreme." The old monk also quickly said: "Donor, calm down, calm down, don't act so impulsively."

Tuobayu's eyes widened, he glared at Xi Yu, and shouted angrily: "Why are you so weak! Are you so afraid of trouble?"

Her face turned red, veins popped out on her forehead, and her expression was very angry.

Xi Yu also looked displeased, frowned, and retorted loudly: "Tuobayu, don't talk nonsense! I'm not being weak, I'm trying to solve the problem rationally! Why can't I report to the official?" His His eyes were full of confusion and anger.

"Huh, report to the official? The day lily will be cold by the time the official arrives!" Tuobayu waved his sleeves fiercely, "You just don't dare to offend these monks, I am so disappointed!"

Xi Yu gritted his teeth and raised his voice: "Tuobayu, don't be unreasonable! I'm doing this for everyone's good and don't want to make things worse!"

The two of them were arguing fiercely, and the people around them were a little at a loss.

Ouyang Linlin frowned and said hurriedly: "Stop arguing!" There was a hint of anxiety in her tone.

Xi Yu sighed slightly, with a hint of helplessness on his face, and said, "What Tuobayu said makes sense. Maybe I am too kind."

After saying that, Xi Yu walked resolutely towards the old monk's Zen room.

His steps were firm and powerful, and he murmured to himself as he walked: "This matter must be resolved today."

At this time, his eyes revealed a firmness and determination.

After a while, Tuobayu's heart calmed down a little, and her breathing gradually became steady.

Ouyang Linlin looked at her and said softly: "Didn't I tell you? If you stay here, you will have food and shelter, why should you get angry?" There was a hint of anger in her tone.

Tuobayu nodded slightly, with a look of guilt on his face, and replied softly: "I know, I was too impulsive just now."

It didn't take long for Xi Yu to arrive at the Zen room where the things were lost. At this moment, there was a young monk holding a broom and concentrating on cleaning.

The little monk looked up and saw Xi Yu walking in. There was a malicious look in his eyes for a moment. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he muttered with a bit of contempt: "Why are you here? Could it be that you stole something?"

Xi Yu didn't seem to hear what the young monk said. His face was expressionless, his eyes were calm and focused, and he stared at the indoor scene closely, not missing any detail.

Xi Yu continued to search for clues in the Zen room, his eyes focused and sharp.

Seeing that Xi Yu was unmoved, the little monk became more and more angry. He put down the broom in his hand, walked straight to Xi Yu, blocked his way, and said angrily: "Stop pretending, you just stole something. Still don’t admit it!”

Xi Yu finally stopped. He slowly raised his head, looked at the young monk calmly, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, showed a faint smile, and said softly: "I don't need to explain anything to you. When I find out the truth, You will understand naturally." After saying that, he walked around the young monk and continued to observe every detail in the Zen room.

After a while, Xi Yu's eyes suddenly lit up, and a look of surprise appeared on his face. He pointed to a loose floor on the ground and said to the young monk, "Come and take a look here."

The little monk hurried over, looked down at the floor, and opened his mouth in surprise.

Xi Yu's eyes shone with confidence, and he analyzed: "The thief probably came down from the ground."

There was a look of remorse on the young monk's face. He scratched his head and said with some embarrassment: "Maybe I have really wronged you. I will report this matter to the old monk immediately."

With that said, he turned around and ran out in a hurry.

After the old monk learned about this, he showed a surprised look on his face. His eyes widened and he murmured to himself: "Is this happening?"

Afterwards, he hurried to the meditation room and personally checked the loose floor. His expression became serious and his brows furrowed tightly.

The old monk turned to the other monks and said, "Everyone, come here quickly to check."

Many monks walked into the Zen room one after another, with expressions of curiosity and doubt on their faces.

The old monk stared at the floor, a hint of wonder flashed in his eyes, and said slowly: "It seems there is a cave underground."

Xi Yu said calmly: "You can check it yourself. I'm going back to my room to rest."

After saying that, he sighed slightly, with a trace of fatigue on his face.

After returning to the room, Xi Yu looked at Tuoyu Yu and said sincerely: "Tuoyu Yu, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have argued with you just now." His eyes were full of regret.

Tuobayu's face turned slightly red, he lowered his head in embarrassment, and said softly: "It's my bad temper that makes me quarrel with you."

There was a hint of guilt in her voice.

Xi Yu frowned slightly and recounted his findings.

After hearing this, Tuobayu's eyes lit up and she said firmly: "It must have something to do with the underground! These monks really judge casually." There was a little dissatisfaction on her face.

Xi Yu nodded and said in agreement: "Yes, they are too arbitrary." There was a hint of helplessness in his tone.

The old monk looked at the loose floor. After thinking for a moment, he turned to the younger monks and said, "Open the floor and take a look."

Several young monks obeyed the order, and after a while, the floor was opened.

The old monk stepped forward to check, with a look of surprise on his face, and murmured to himself: "Sure enough, there is a different kind of cave."

He frowned, his eyes full of doubts and curiosity, and said to himself: "I never knew there was such a tunnel before. Who made it?"

The old monk thought for a while and said decisively to everyone: "Everyone, it's better to go down and find out what's going on." His expression was serious and his eyes were firm.

At this time, a young monk shouted loudly: "I'm going to prepare the fire dumplings!"

There was a hint of excitement in his voice and a look of eagerness on his face.

The other monks listened to the old monk's words and nodded in agreement.

The little monk who prepared the fire dumplings ran away quickly and came back soon with several fire dumplings.

The old monk took the fire certificate and blew it carefully, and the flames suddenly burst into flames.

He looked up at everyone and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, be careful and follow me." After that, he took the lead into the tunnel.

Everyone followed the old monk and watched everything around them nervously.

There was a damp atmosphere in the tunnel, and the light of the torches swayed in the darkness, illuminating the path under everyone's feet.

The old monk walked at the front, his steps steady and firm, and the torch in his hand trembled slightly, as if to hint at the unknown ahead of everyone.

The young monks followed closely behind, their faces revealing nervousness and curiosity, looking left and right from time to time, as if expecting some surprise discovery.

Suddenly, there was a slight noise in front, and the old monk immediately stopped and raised the torch vigilantly.

"What's the sound?" A young monk asked softly, with a tremor in his voice.

The old monk frowned and said in a low voice: "Everyone be careful, there may be something ahead."

Everyone's heartbeat accelerated involuntarily, and they stared nervously at the dark corner in front.

"Maybe it's the sound of the wind blowing through the tunnel." Another young monk whispered, trying to comfort everyone.

The old monk was silent for a moment, then walked forward slowly, and the light of the torch swayed with his movements.

Suddenly, he stopped, and everyone held their breath nervously.

"Look!" The old monk pointed to the front and said.

Everyone looked in the direction of his finger, and saw that there seemed to be some strange symbols on the wall of the tunnel.

"What is this?" A young monk asked curiously.

The old monk frowned and observed the symbols carefully, as if trying to think about their meaning.

In this quiet temple, the originally peaceful atmosphere was suddenly broken.

I saw that the originally solid wall suddenly had a mechanism, which caught people off guard.

"Be careful!" A monk widened his eyes and shouted with horror.

However, before he finished speaking, countless arrows shot out from the wall like raindrops, with a whizzing sound of breaking through the air.

"Ah!" A series of shrill screams rang out, and the monks had no time to dodge and were hit by arrows.

Their faces were full of pain and astonishment, and their bodies trembled involuntarily under the impact of the arrows.

Some monks tried to push away the arrows with their hands, but it was useless. They could only watch themselves being shot.

"Amitabha!" An elderly monk, his eyes full of grief and indignation, clasped his hands together, and kept chanting the Buddha's name.

But this could not stop the arrows from raging. More and more monks fell in a pool of blood, and their lives gradually disappeared in this sudden attack.

"Hurry, hide!" someone shouted, but at this time, the whole temple was in chaos.

And the mechanism behind the wall seemed endless, and the arrows were still shooting out, as if to kill everyone in the temple.

Xiyu knocked on Ouyang Linlin's door gently, and after getting a response, he slowly walked in.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw Ouyang Linlin sitting at the table, concentrating on the Buddhist scriptures in her hands, with a trace of tranquility and serenity in her eyes. Xiyu said softly: "Linlin, so you are reading Buddhist scriptures here."

Ouyang Linlin raised her head, smiled slightly, and said: "Well, this is borrowed from the monk this morning. Oh, I can play cards at home to have fun, but there are no cards to play here, so I can only rely on these Buddhist scriptures to kill time." As she said, she shrugged helplessly.

Xi Yu smiled and nodded, then sat down on a chair nearby.

After a while, Ouyang Linlin suddenly frowned and said in confusion: "Hey, husband, do you feel that the yard is so quiet? It seems that many monks have disappeared."

"Well, I guess they went underground to look for clues." Then, he told the story of finding the tunnel in detail.

After listening, Ouyang Linlin widened her eyes and said in surprise: "Ah? There is actually a tunnel! This temple is really full of secrets."

Her face was full of curiosity and surprise.

Xiaohong frowned and said angrily: "Oh, that means the thief who stole things probably came out of that secret passage! These monks don't understand the situation, and they wrongly accuse us without knowing the truth. It's so annoying!"

She put her hands on her hips, her eyes flashed with anger, and her chest rose and fell slightly because of anger.

After Xiaohong finished speaking angrily, Ouyang Linlin shook her head gently, with a faint smile on her lips and bright light in her eyes.

"Oh, Xiaohong, don't be angry first. Look, your husband can find this place, what does this mean? This is the Buddha blessing us." As she said, she looked at Xiyu, her face full of joy and gratitude.

Xiyu scratched his head a little embarrassedly, and said with a smile: "Linlin, don't say that."

Ouyang Linlin stepped forward, put his hands together, looked up and said: "This is the guidance of the Buddha. With this discovery, our grievances can definitely be cleared now. It's great."

Her face was full of piety and expectation, as if she had seen the moment when the grievances were cleared.

Looking at Ouyang Linlin's pious appearance, Xiyu couldn't help but smile with relief, and said softly: "Linlin, you are always so kind and simple."

His eyes were full of tenderness and appreciation.

Ouyang Linlin smiled slightly, with determination in her eyes, and said: "I have always been a devout Buddhist, so I will naturally think about things from this perspective."

Xiyu nodded, and then said: "Then I will go back to my room first."

After that, he turned and left with brisk steps.

Time passed unknowingly, and soon it was noon.

Xiyu sat in the room, looking at the sunshine outside the window, and felt a sense of tranquility in his heart.

Xiyu was sitting in the room thinking, and suddenly heard a knock on the door.

"Come in." Xiyu shouted.

The door was slowly pushed open, and several monks walked in. There was no expression on their faces, and there was even a hint of indifference in their eyes.

One of the monks put the vegetarian meal on the table and said stiffly: "The vegetarian meal is here." (End of this chapter)
