Chapter 399 The villagers rushed in
Seeing that the gate was blocked, Mingzhuo had to go to the side to call Master Yuanhui.
When Yuanhui heard that she was coming, she hurriedly said, "Donor Ruan, be careful to avoid people and come to the right. I will open the door for you to come in."
Mingzhuo followed her instructions and avoided the sight of everyone, and quietly walked to the right with Gu Xu and Pei Di.
She walked along the courtyard wall for about 100 to 200 meters, and did not see any door or anything like that.
Pei Di was a little suspicious: "We were invited here openly, right?"
Why are we sneaking around like thieves?
Gu Xu glanced ahead and said, "Why don't we go inside a little bit, maybe there is a door in front."
The three of them walked forward for a while, and then they found movement coming from inside.
"Master Ruan, this way!" someone called in a low voice.
Ming Zhuo looked over in the direction of the voice and saw a shiny head appear on the wall. The scalp reflected the sunlight, which was very bright and fleeting.
Yuan Hui lowered her head and quietly let the ladder go over, "Master Ruan, hurry up, don't let anyone find out."
Ming Zhuo: "..."
I really didn't expect such a scene.
She climbed up the ladder and fell into the yard in a few steps.
Yuan Hui blushed a little: "Someone is blocking the back door, and the spare small door lock is rusted and can't be opened. I'm really sorry."
Ming Zhuo: "...It doesn't matter."
You said so, what else can I say?
Pei Di turned over after a while, with a look of surprise on his face: "I thought only gangsters needed to climb over walls, but I didn't expect that I would have to climb over walls now that I'm a master." He
never thought that the wall-climbing skills he learned in his middle school years would come in handy at this time.
Ming Zhuo was worried that Gu Xu hadn't climbed over the wall, so he hurried over to help.
Gu Xu looked at the hand in front of him, and silently reached out to help.
After everyone came down, the monk who was huddled at the end of the wall quickly brought up the ladder.
Ming Zhuo looked at Gu Xu: "How are you? Are you okay?"
Ah Xu looked like a well-educated top student. It is estimated that he never thought that he would fall to the point of climbing the wall of a temple after he became the helmsman of the group.
Gu Xu smiled and said, "I'm fine. This is a very novel experience and very interesting."
Ming Zhuo: "..."
Okay, as long as you are happy.
Yuan Hui was extremely anxious, and when he saw Ming Zhuo, he seemed to have found his backbone.
While welcoming people in, he explained the situation.
Those who blocked the gate of Lingquan Temple were all local villagers, and some of them had specially rushed in the morning and ran all the way from the city.
When they heard the news that Lingquan Temple was going to seal the well, they immediately became restless and made trouble several times.
In the end, they simply blocked the well and said that they would draw all the water before it was sealed.
Those people said that drinking the well water of Lingquan Temple would make them strong and healthy and taste good. It was more effective than any panacea. Many families rely on this well for their daily drinking water.
The monks in the temple wanted to seal the well, and didn't care about their lives at all.
They disagreed and protested. Why should their well be sealed?
Pei Di: "Are those people crazy? Don't they know that many people died in the well?"
A monk who led the way smiled bitterly: "They have their own logic. Now they say that the well water has a self-purification function. It will be fine if we drain it and wait for a while."
Ming Zhuo: "They are right. There are corpses in the rivers, lakes and seas. As long as we don't drink raw water, it will be fine..."
She felt Gu Xu's eyes passing by, and suddenly remembered that this man was very particular about everything, and silently swallowed the pronunciation of the last word.
Gu Xu suddenly spoke up: "It's not so bad actually. I understand Xianze back then."
The two of them thought of Xianze's collection of corpses. The horizontal male fish picked up the corpses that sank to the bottom of the lake and placed them neatly in his cave as toys.
Every day before going to bed, he would check if everyone was facing him, and then fall asleep peacefully...
In the morning, he would wake up among a pile of corpses, and then drink a mouthful of the cold pond water that had been soaked in the corpses...
Ming Zhuo suddenly couldn't bear to recall Xianze's appearance. How could this be a great demon with a natural fairy aura? This was simply a pervert!
At this time, several people had already walked to the meditation room. Yuan Hui said to a monk, "You go and make tea to entertain the distinguished guests."
Gu Xu: "..."
Ming Zhuo: "..."
Yuan Hui always felt that the way several people looked at him today was strange, which made him feel embarrassed and wanted to touch his bald head to relieve the embarrassment.
After several people sat down, Yuan Hui explained that the evil spirits in the well could not be suppressed. Every night, the yin energy gathered and rushed to the seal to get out.
Those things are very seductive and can already lure the monks in the temple to the well in their dreams. The abbot
had a deep understanding of Buddhism and had long discovered that something was wrong. He guarded the well every night, which stopped the evil spirits' conspiracy.
But the abbot couldn't bear it anymore. The impact intensified at midnight last night, and the abbot was injured. He held on until dawn, and the evil spirits finally stopped.
Mingzhuo also saw that several monks were injured to varying degrees, and Yuanhui was the one with the least injuries among them.
"So those villagers were also bewitched by the evil spirits?" Pei Di asked.
Ming Zhuo: "That's not the case. The evil ghosts can't affect the people down the mountain."
After a pause, she added, "But there must be someone behind the scenes who is fanning the flames and taking advantage of the villagers' greed and ignorance."
Yuan Hui: "You mean, someone wants to release the evil ghosts?"
Before, he was just suspicious, but he didn't want to believe that someone would do that. Now that Ming Zhuo said that, he was frightened and broke out in a cold sweat.
"Oh no, those villagers are rushing in!" A famous disciple hurried in.
Hearing the noise outside, Yuan Hui's face changed immediately, "Didn't you say that the door would be closed today?"
"Brother Wu Nian went to persuade everyone to leave, but the villagers refused to leave. Then someone fainted outside, so Brother Wu Nian opened a small gap to check the situation, and was attacked by the villagers." The little disciple was so angry that his eyes turned red. He probably didn't expect that someone could be so shameless.
Ming Zhuo was a little surprised. Wu Nian was there too?
"In that case, why not go out and take a look." She took the initiative.
Monks are probably a little passive in dealing with such things, or there are too many Buddhist precepts and rules, so they don't know how to deal with such scoundrels.
But she happened to have experience. There is actually no difference between dealing with evil people and dealing with evil ghosts. If they don't listen, just use violence.
——
Before they even reached the door, they saw that the villagers had already broken into the backyard.
Several monks were furious. They were exhausted from fighting the evil spirits that came into their dreams every night, and now they were harassed by the unreasonable villagers.
They had not practiced enough, and they could not keep their temper.
One monk was so angry that he shouted, "Stop pushing it, okay? I told you not to go to the well, you don't understand me!"
The old lady standing next to him sat down on the ground, "Oh, the monk hit me, the monk hit me!"
The monk was so angry that veins on his forehead jumped, and he was about to faint.
