Haunting Spectre Road

    Buddhist abbot

At this time, Wutai Mountain had already been capped by heavy snow.The accumulated snow was piled thickly on the stretched body of the pine tree, and as soon as the wind blew, it all flew down and got into the warm back of the neck, making people very annoyed. Although the snow has stopped, there are still flying flakes everywhere, melting, not melting, deformed, not deformed; even if it is a small gust of wind, it can be fun to rotate, blocking people’s progress. Icicles hang everywhere, as hard as a master’s iron knife, so you can poke it hard if you’re not paying attention.Tian Yinzhen had just suffered from an icy pain, and her shoulders were faintly painful. Upon seeing this, He Jianfei stepped forward and put Tian Yinzhen in his arms. They couldn’t help but feel bad that they hadn’t taken a shortcut to get here.It may take less time to walk the clean avenue.

After finally walking out of the trail with one foot deep and one shallow foot, I finally saw the mountain gate and the winding and clean main road. The two couldn’t help but get excited and quicken their pace. “Report, He…” Seeing that it was He Jianfei and Tian Yinzhen, the little novice guarding the door, he dared not be negligent and hurriedly opened his throat and called out, but He Jianfei had already sealed his mouth before he yelled. He Jianfei smiled and said, “Wutai Mountain is my own home.” Why are you so polite about reporting it? “We can just go in quietly by ourselves.” The little monk said vaguely: “But the abbot…” Tian Yinzhen stomped her feet and turned around and said, “Your uncle He naturally has a saying on the abbot’s side, so don’t be afraid.

The current abbot of Wutai Mountain, Master Zenyue, had just finished presiding over the dharma festival in the main hall when he heard the little monk at the door scream “He!” and there was no sound. Master Zhenyue wondered, “And what?” Haven’t you heard of a faction called He? Ah! He Jianfei! Thinking that those two were coming, he secretly screamed in his heart that it was not good, and he ran away regardless of the monks in the temple who were still standing on both sides. It’s a pity that He Jianfei, who happened to enter the inner door, found out and immediately ran up and chased after him. Tian Yinzhen asked the little monk a few words at the door before entering the inner door. He Jianfei was chasing behind Master Zhenyue, who was flinging himself forward with his robes up, his legs spinning like a hot wheel. There was a newcomer in the temple. The monk looked at this scene tongue-tied, couldn’t help being angry and funny, and shouted: “Elder brother, you are the abbot of a temple anyway, and you are running around like this; can you pay attention to your demeanor?” Master Zhenyue turned a deaf ear and continued to run wildly, thinking to himself, “I would rather not have grace; if I am chased, I am afraid I will lose my life.” Tian Yinzhen shrugged and entered the main hall to greet the monks: “Let’s leave; don’t be surprised, don’t be surprised.”

He Jianfei was panting after chasing after him. I haven’t seen you for a few months, but my brother’s running skills have improved so much. Could it be that he has been practicing every day since he was defeated by me last time? Why don’t you try my newly developed closing strategy?

The facts finally proved that He Jianfei’s strategy was quite effective. Master Zhenyue was forced into the Sutra Pavilion. There were bookshelves everywhere, and there was nowhere to escape. He Jianfei caught him. He Jianfei was sweating profusely and leaned against the door to take a break. Seeing that Master Zhenyue was still struggling to climb the three-meter-high window to escape, he said, “Big brother, I am your younger brother, not a man-eating tiger.”

“What are you doing when you see me running so fast?” Master Zhenyue panted while busy looking for a ladder: “Although you are not a tiger, you are more terrifying than a tiger.” “Tell me, when did you come to me for something good?” He gritted his teeth and said, “It’s fine for you to belittle people; you don’t have to be so thorough; brothers in the same school should help each other in trouble; it’s only natural for me to find you; it’s reasonable.”

“Is it reasonable for me to lose my old life for you?”

Tian Yinzhen, who just came to see the outcome of the battle, came in and interrupted: “Okay, do you still have to bicker?” “Don’t even think about our reputation; Wutai Mountain will lose all face because of you.” The two men immediately turned outward in unison with their common enemy. Master Zhenyue reprimanded: “Are you the abbot or am I?” “I’m in charge of these things; what are you talking about?” He Jianfei followed up and said, “You might as well worry about whether you can get married or not.” The two finally lost to Tian Yinzhen’s stunt of “throwing broken pots and rotten tiles together.”

The night was getting darker, and after the little monk had entertained He Jianfei and Tian Yinhao, he carefully walked out across the threshold with the dinner plate. Two middle-aged monks with three seals on their heads came in to greet He Jianfei and Tian Yinzhen. Since He Jianfei and Tian Yinzhen were the disciples accepted by the great master at an old age, the age difference between them and the eldest disciple, Master ZenYue, was more than 40 years old, and the two middle-aged monks who came to greet them were actually the younger generations of He Jianfei and Tian Yinzhen.

“Please, two uncles.” Seeing that someone more than twenty years older than himself had to bow to himself, He Jianfei couldn’t bear it and hurriedly got up and said, “Forget it, forget it.” “I told Master that I and Yinzhen have special status, and these rules should not be so strict.”

Master Zhenyue sat on the upper seat leisurely and said, “It’s a pity that Master disagrees.” Wutai Mountain has always attached great importance to respecting teachers and respecting Taoism. “I know you are uneasy, but they seldom go out, and saluting in the temple is not very good, so they will be punished.” “Just bear it.” Seeing the abbot’s words, the two middle-aged monks didn’t dare to be negligent and hurriedly completed the etiquette and said: “I invite the abbot and the two seniors to do evening classes.” Master Zhenyue was about to answer, Seeing He Jianfei wink at him, Tian Yinzhen’s expression was also weird; knowing that they had something secret to say, he nodded and said, “You tell them that today the two masters came back from a long distance.” They are too tired to go. I’ll talk to them. “Do it yourself.”

The two middle-aged monks quickly said, “Yes.” They sent Master Zhenyue, He Jianfei, and Tian Yinzhen to the door of the main meditation room before retreating.

Master Zhenyue sat on the futon in the kang, and seeing He Jianfei looking out through the gap after closing the door, he couldn’t help laughing and saying, “What are you doing? Could it be that the Third World War is about to break out? “It’s so shameful.” Tian Yinzhen sat down and said, “We can’t participate in the world war, but this matter does have a great relationship with our safety.” Master Zenyue was used to Tian Yinzhen’s indifferent look, and now seeing her serious face, he leaned forward and said, “What’s the big deal?” Tian Yinzhen noticed He Jianfei still looking out the door, so she told him about the haunting spectre road. Master Zhenyue’s face became more and more dignified. When he heard that Ah Qiang’s Sanhua body protection technique still could not stop the coming of death, he couldn’t help but let out a soft “Huh.” He Jianfei saw that Tian Yinzhen was talking vigorously, so he didn’t speak. After Tian Yinzhen finished speaking, Master Zhenyue pondered for a long time before asking, “How about the power of the evil ghost?”

He Jianfei interjected: “I haven’t fought her head-on, but I don’t think she is afraid of the relic necklace.” “Even the Sanhua body protection technique can be cracked, and the mana will never be low.” Master Zenyue pondered the words and said, “She is just a ghost.” “Even if she has been dead for more than 50 years, it is amazing to have such an ability to kill as she pleases.” “As for the Sanhua body protection technique, judging from the situation you mentioned, there is no indication that it was indeed broken by the female ghost.” Tian Yinzhen and He Jianfei looked at each other and were extremely surprised by Master Zhenyue’s speech for the first time in a circle. Tian Yinzhen said, “The key to the female ghost’s ability to possess such great mana is what happened in Ah Qiang’s generation.” Intriguing things happened. Everyone has a deep taboo on this issue. Back then, nearly thirty people in the class were able to keep their mouths shut, so it could be seen. She shrugged her shoulders at this point, indicating that this matter was indeed extraordinary. He Jianfei heard what Master Zhenyue seemed to be saying and said, “Master only told me a little bit about the Sanhua body protection technique, only that it is a very high-level body protection technique.ster Zenyue pondered the words and said, “She is just a ghost.” “Even if she has been dead for more than 50 years, it is amazing to have such an ability to kill as she pleases.” “As for the Sanhua body protection technique, judging from the situation you mentioned, there is no indication that it was indeed broken by the female ghost.” Tian Yinzhen and He Jianfei looked at each other and were extremely surprised by Master Zhenyue’s speech for the first time in a circle.

He Jianfei heard what Master Zhenyue seemed to be saying and said, “Master only told me a little bit about the Sanhua body protection technique, only that it is a very high-level body protection technique.” “Is it unbreakable?” He Jianfei asked coldly, and Tian Yinzhen was stunned, “How could it be?” As soon as the voice fell, Master Zhenyue was startled for a moment and said hurriedly, “This, Master, just said a little bit but didn’t go into detail.” “I’m not very clear either.” “I think since this kind of body protection technique has a certain history, the ancients before it should have also worked out a way to crack it.” While speaking, a trace of embarrassment and panic flashed in Master Zen Yue’s eyes, as well as a little uneasiness. He Jianfei saw all this in his eyes, but he did not speak.

The atmosphere in the room was suddenly a little weird. Master Zhenyue hurriedly cleared his throat and said, “What makes me strange is another thing.” Sanhua body protection is a very high-level body protection technique. People who can use it must have high-strength mana. Judging from Ah Qiang’s situation at the time, no matter how resentful the wronged soul was, there was absolutely no reason to suppress it. Judging from the situation you mentioned, Ah Qiang’s group of people must have owed the female ghost something very important, which caused Ah Qiang to refuse to suppress it with spells and decide to commit suicide in order to eliminate injustice and relieve evil. Of course, Buddhism is compassionate, but the old monk privately believes that he has taken this step wrong. Tian Yinzhen was about to tell Master Zhenyue the doubts found on the train. Suddenly, He Jianfei gave her a blocking wink. Tian Yinzhen was inexplicable. He Jianfei had already said to Master Zhenyue, “Brother, that’s right.” But a big mistake has been made, and the most important thing is to find a way to recover it in time. There are consecutive dead people on the campus now, and people are terrified. If this continues, I’m afraid. Master Zhenyue thought for a while and said, “It’s not impossible to suppress it now, but it’s a bit troublesome.” There are many magic weapons in the collection on Wutai Mountain, such as the Vajra Halberd, which can knock ghosts into the 18th floor of hell to suffer or tie ghosts to the melting ghost pillar and be struck by lightning and burned, but it’s too vicious. He Jianfei smiled and said, “I know what you said.” If I wanted to do this, would I just sneak in and steal those things and still go to such great lengths to tell you? Suppression is not a cure for the symptoms. Furthermore, you are aware that the campus, as a place of book fragrance, possesses a certain spirituality in and of itself. If we suppress it like this, it will destroy our feng shui together, and I will not be able to take responsibility for bigger things. By the way, there is also a statue of Sun Yat-sen there.” Tian Yinzhen interjected: “So we decided it’s better to save her; this way it’s all over and the solution is the cleanest.” Master Zhenyue said with a wry smile, “She needs to be willing to save her.” “Are you sure you can convince her?” “The truth can unravel her grievances.” Master Zhenyue shook his head and said, “The truth has been unknown for fifty years, and the truth has become a false appearance.” “It seems that this case of haunting spectre road is unusual.”

Seeing Master Zhenyue bowing his head in deep thought, He Jianfei hurriedly said: “Yes, yes, it is indeed unusual. That’s why I came to find you. Master Zhenyue took a sip of the tea and said, “Don’t worry.” Let me explain two points first: one is that I will not borrow first-class treasures, and the other is that I will not go out of the mountain. Okay, let’s start talking.” He Jianfei immediately drank the already strong tea and said: “Before I talk, I would also like to declare two points: one is that you will not borrow non-first-class treasures, and the other is that I will never go down the mountain if you do not leave the mountain.” Tian Yinzhen sneered and said, “Then what are you talking about?” Just fight.” Master Zenyue sighed: “Brother, I’m already very old.” “There are so many monks in the temple; why are you pestering me?” I can’t hold it back; who else in this monastery is qualified to be the leader? “Master told you to take good care of me before he died. “If something happens to me, if I go down to see the Master, I don’t know what will come out of my mouth.” Zhenyue was speechless immediately and scolded for a while: “Apart from using the Master to suppress me, don’t you have any other new tricks?” He Jianfei knew that he had agreed to go out of the mountain and said with a smile: “There should be more, but this trick is right.” “I’m too lazy to think about it before you fail.”

A distant bell rang outside, and the monks in the temple finished their evening class and prepared to go to the main hall to salute the abbot and then go to sleep. The sound of footsteps gradually moved from far to near. He Jianfei listened to it for a while, and it appeared to him that when the master was alive, he and Tian Yinzhen were only seven or eight years old at that time. They also pretended to be adults, wearing small custom-made cassocks and standing at the back of the team. He walked in with his hands folded in a small square step, thinking that the master would be surprised to hear a few words of praise. Who expected that when the master saw them, the grey beard shook and shook and finally couldn’t help but laugh out with a “puff,” but they couldn’t do it even after they stirred up the evening class? already. In retrospect, a smile floated at the corner of He Jianfei’s mouth. At this moment, Master Zhenyue’s questioning awakened him: “It should be almost assembled.” “You two can go to the main hall with me.” Tian Yinzhen hurriedly said coquettishly, “I’m so tired, big brother; I want to go to bed; will you tell them that I’m asleep?” He Jianfei said, “I’m going to sleep too.” I’ll make it up when I get up in the morning. He Jianfei’s second sentence is tantamount to empty words. After he returned to Wutai Mountain, he would sleep until noon and wouldn’t get up. Master Zhenyue glared at him before saying to Tian Yinzhen: “Well, let me tell them, but the temple has been under repair recently and the back is not repaired.” There is only one empty house. Jianfei should sleep with me. He Jianfei was shocked and said, “What?” “My luck won’t be so bad, right?” Master Zhenyue has a habit of snoring when he sleeps. He and Jianfei might as well go outside to guard the door when he sleeps with him. Master Zhenyue is snickering, and He Jianfei has already begged Tian Yinzhen courteously, “Shall I sleep with you?” The monks have already concentrated in the main hall, but the abbot has not been seen coming out. Suddenly, a long-lasting scream came from the main meditation room.

At noon the next day, He Jianfei was awakened by the dazzling sunlight outside. Seeing that it was almost two o’clock, he hurriedly got up, ordered the little novice to get him something to eat, and walked out of the meditation room, stretching. While watching the bonsai in the courtyard, Master Zhenyue’s voice came from behind: “Master He’s finally willing to get up? “How do you plan to make up for your evening class?” He Jianfei turned his head and said, dissatisfied, “It’s all because of you.” You were snoring all night; otherwise, I wouldn’t have slept through lunch time. “Has anyone called my cell phone?” Master Zhenyue said: “An old man who claimed to be Li called you, but it was Yinzi who answered. Yes, I’m not sure. “You can ask her.” He Jianfei immediately guessed that it was Old Man Li, thanked him quickly, and walked towards Tian Yinzhen’s room.

Tian Yinzhen was playing with her braids in the room, and when she saw He Jianfei almost rush in, she smiled and said, “You finally got up.” Uncle Li has looked for you many times. Looking at his hurried tone, he must have discovered some major secrets. “Why don’t you call him?” He Jianfei hurriedly grabbed his mobile phone and dialed back: “Hey, this is He Jianfei.” Ah, it’s Uncle Li. How about it?” It turns out that during this period of time, Uncle Li went to find Ah Qiang’s relatives. Due to fifty years of changes, Ah Qiang’s parents died. There was only Ah Qiang in his family, leaving no incense, and only some distant relatives who were scattered abroad were left. Therefore, Uncle Li tried his best to find Ah Qiang’s cousin and learned a very important message from her. Ah Qiang had called back an inexplicable message three days before his death because it was too weird, so she still remembered it clearly.

“Dad, this summer vacation… I won’t go back.”

“What? What else is there to do? “Why is the student union so busy?”

“No, it’s from our class.” “There is an urgent matter that needs to be settled, and the whole class will not go home.”

“What’s the big deal?” “Can it be settled in two months?”

“Two months? How can it be enough? “It may never be over.”

“What? Ah Qiang, what are you talking about?”

“No, it’s nothing.” “In fact, I don’t know how to end it now.”

“Hey, Ah Qiang…”

“I was talking nonsense, Dad. Just pretend you didn’t hear it.”

“Then when are you going home?”

“It may take a long time… a long time.” I’m afraid you don’t have the patience to wait any longer. Take care of yourself, Dad; Mom has entrusted you with her care. Goodbye.”

An incomprehensible phone call ended with Ah Qiang’s joke-like remark. Thinking about it now, the last sentence is clearly a farewell to the parents.

Goodbye, Haunting Spectre Road, and the Netherworld; hasn’t it been a long time?

Do you think Ah Qiang knew that three days ago? At that time, four people in his class had died inexplicably. According to conventional logic analysis, in order not to cause more deaths, they should be suppressed as soon as possible, but the outcome was the opposite. There must be an unknown turning point in these three days.

He Jianfei’s thoughts became even more chaotic; the complexity of redressing his injustice for fifty years had already exceeded his ability to think. “Three days…all suicides…phone calls…the truth… He Jianfei murmured, feeling that the day when the truth would be revealed was too far away. He Jianfei barely got rid of the doubts in his heart and asked, “Does Ah Qiang’s cousin know anything else?” Uncle Li said: “She said that even if she did, after so many years, she almost forgot about it.” But she suggested that we go take a look at Ah Qiang’s house. Although his house is sold, I heard that people are still living in it. She said that the location of Ah Qiang’s house is a bit strange”.” He Jianfei hurriedly asked, “What’s so strange?” Uncle Li said: “She refused to say it and hesitated, as if she had some scruples.” I don’t want to force people, so I have to come back and call you.”

“Ah Qiang’s residence?”He Jianfei pondered and said, “Is that so?” “Well, uncle Li, please spare no effort; let’s go to Ah Qiang’s house to have a look.”

“No problem; I have long wanted to unravel the mystery of Ah Qiang’s death.”
