Volume 6 (Part 1) The Ghost Road Chapter 39 The Wordless Stele

Master Kongjie called Nangong Xiaoseng, Miyazaki Meiko, Chen Wusheng, Jin Jishou and others into his meditation room.

A little novice monk brought a few pots of tea. He looked at Jin Jishou with a slightly fearful look, then hurried out and closed the door of the Zen room as instructed.

"Everyone..." Master Kong Jie was about to speak, but was interrupted by Jin Jishou.

"Sorry, Master." Jin Jishou said: "Today, I was reckless, I hope Master won't care."

Jin Jishou is not a fool. Since Nangong has come, he must not be able to use the previous methods. He planned to use strongness before, but his usual style, and he thought it was pedantic to the young monk Nangong in a way that was too compassionate to him. But since the situation has changed now, of course, he must first express his opinion to alleviate the tension just now, so as not to have any untrue things in his next speech.

"It's okay." Master Kongjie immediately showed the image of a monk who was enlightened and said, "I didn't know before that the donor actually met his old friend, so I was a little negligent. Don't worry, I have been studying in the Buddha for many years, and I have long been empty in all four elements and will not be too concerned."

Although Jin Jishou said it on the surface, he completely sneered at the "Four Essentials" and people must be living in the world to eat, drink, defecation and sacrificial life. If Yueshan Temple had not collected so much incense money, it would not have been able to raise so many monks. How could it look like "Four Essentials"? But this has nothing to do with him. As long as this bald donkey reveals the truth early, he would not bother with him.

"These cups of tea are made from the water of mountain springs. In the past, Guanghai brother was also a tea lover. Unfortunately, this man has passed away, but now I am very relieved to see his descendants."

Nangong Xiaoseng looked at the abbot and couldn't help but think of the master who came in the real world. He couldn't help but feel indescribable kindness. He immediately picked up the tea cup and said, "Since it is the tea that Master loves, my disciple, will taste it today."

He didn't seem to be in a hurry at all. Anyway, it was at this time, even for a while at night, it didn't matter. After all, he was the strongest ghost messenger, and he still had this kind of demeanor.

After the abbot finished the tea, he started to talk about the serious business.

"Everything goes back decades ago... I can't remember the specific year. It should be the 1970s. At that time, I was the abbot of Kongshan Temple, and Guanghai's brother had just arrived in Hong Kong. Although he was a Taoist lineage, he was very destined to be with me. He had been lingering in Kongshan Temple for several days. At that time, I once told him one thing, that was a mysterious stone tablet without words in Kongshan Temple."

"The wordless stone tablet?" Nangong Xiaoseng felt that this was the key point. Could it be that it was a curse of the dead?

"Yes, Nephew Lin doesn't seem to know about this."

"The master of the family has never mentioned it, and I have never had the honor to meet him."

"Kongshan Temple was established during the Republic of China and is located at the intersection of Sizhen Road, the old city of Kowloon at that time. Now it is completely out of the wilderness. The Sizhen Road road is not too long, but many ancient buildings in the Republic of China have been preserved, so it attracted many tourists at that time. Kongshan Temple is one of the ancient temples left behind. The wordless stone tablet seems to have existed since then. The stone tablet is nearly six or seven meters high, three or four meters wide, and the whole body seems to be

The marble cast. When I was slandered in Kongshan Temple, the stone tablet was already here, and it was located at the end of several meditation rooms in Kongshan Temple, just at the intersection of Sizhen Road. The one who was slandered for me was a master of the abbot of Kongshan Temple and my master. The master once mentioned to me that the stone tablet without words must not be moved. Before he passed away and ordered me to take office as the new abbot, he deliberately told me that the stone tablet must not be moved."

"I have always had an inexplicable fear of that stone tablet. Whether I was just slain or became the abbot, I didn't dare to go to the place where the stone tablet was. Every time I walked there, I would feel that even the sunlight would be inexplicably weakened a little. In the end, this sense of fear became stronger and stronger. There was obviously no word on the stone tablet and no corpse was buried under it, but I was still worried and afraid in my heart. Therefore, after reading it, I would go to the meditation room and recite the Heart Sutra again. However, no matter how many times the scriptures were recited, the worry and fear in my heart was difficult to dispel any bit. I always felt that there seemed to be a very terrible existence inside the stone tablet."

"This matter has always troubled me. I even thought that if my six senses were not pure, my mind would be hindered. 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 tablet, he felt something was wrong. At that time, he said to me: 'Master Abbot, there seems to be some kind of 'foreign object' in front of me."

"The stone tablet happened to be at the intersection of Sizhen Road. After he arrived there, he immediately said, 'This stone tablet was facing the intersection. It seemed that it blocked something deep in the road, so that it could not leave this road.' After hearing this, I was shocked and hurriedly said, 'Amitabha, Brother Guanghai, this is a Buddhist pure land, how can there be such evil things?' Then, Brother Guanghai calculated a divination for me. After he calculated this divination, his face changed drastically, and he screamed in horror. Then, he vomited blood and fainted on the spot!"

The more Nangong Xiaoseng listened to his words, the more shocked he felt.

"So...afterward?"

"This fainting lasted for three days and three nights. During this period, I also invited the doctor to see him, but I couldn't tell the reason. Finally, when he woke up again, his face turned pale, he looked at me, and then said, "Master Abbot, this is a great danger. I have been spying on the secrets of heaven throughout my life, but I didn't expect that I could not change my fate for myself against the will of heaven." I quickly asked the reason, and he continued, "You can leave quickly and leave Kongshan Temple as soon as possible. You may have a chance to save your life!"

"After that, no matter what I asked, he wouldn't say it. I later investigated some things myself. Sizhen Road is an ancient road with a long history, so it still maintains many buildings from the Republic of China. However, after wars, it was difficult to find a lot of information, but Kongshan Temple was lucky and was able to preserve it. It is also the oldest ancient building on Sizhen Road."

"Then one day, I found that he had accepted an apprentice, your master. Your master has a high understanding, and Guanghai also regards him as his own, even very strict. I felt that your master seemed to be planning something. Soon, my premonition came true."

"That day, people from Huating came to us. It was said that the city government decided to renovate the old city area. Kongshan Temple has always been incense, so it also decided to demolish it and rebuild a new residential area. Of course, I firmly opposed it. Kongshan Temple is an ancient temple with a long history, so how can it be demolished at will? Moreover, Guanghai brother also told me that no matter what, this ancient temple cannot be demolished! I know, that must be because of the stone tablet without words."

"However, the people in Huating Construction are very tough. They scoffed at the land deeds from the Republic of China period that I took out, saying that it is an era now, what is the use of this land deed? And reiterate that this is the construction of the municipal government, and all the buildings in this area will be demolished, and Kongshan Temple is no exception. I am limited to dismissing the monks in the temple within one month, otherwise the bulldozer will forcefully demolish the temple!"

"At that time, I and Mr. Guanghai and I strongly protested this matter. Especially Mr. Guanghai, I repeatedly reiterated that I must not demolish Kongshan Temple. Once the stone tablet no longer exists, the consequences will be unimaginable. When he said those words, his face was extremely pale. I also believed what he said and decided to fight to the end. However, not everyone in the monks in the temple thought this way. They would rather use a demolition compensation to go to another temple than to continue to stay in this small temple where there is no more incense."

"In the end, Chen Huating, the boss of Huating Construction, came forward in person. 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 come forward to persuade him again and again. At that time, I and Shen Huating fought with Shen Huating together. In the end, Guanghai and I even proposed to make the biggest concession, and hoped that the stone tablet at the intersection of Sizhen Road would be preserved."

"But, how could Boss Shen agree? This place will be built as a residential area in the future. Who will stay here? He saw that Guanghai's brother was more fierce than me, so he used some tricks and arranged for the police to arrest him, saying that he was engaged in feudal superstitious activities. And I couldn't fight against them in the end, so I watched it. After Guanghai was released, it was already a waste of time. Although I made a lot of efforts, how could I resist their bulldozers? The stone tablet was shoveled with my own eyes."

"After that, Sizhen Road became history. The road was completely widened and the surrounding area was completely turned into a large area of ​​flat land. Then, the ground piles were started, and Huating Construction began to build a large number of construction projects. But after that, all the people involved in the construction, one after another, began to disappear! At first, they were just ordinary workers, but in the end, even the Minister of Construction of Huating Construction at that time, and even Boss Shen himself came to investigate. At that time, it caused a lot of panic, and the stone tablet incident at that time had caused a certain storm. Many people immediately said that it was because of the divine punishment caused by the knockdown of the Sizhen Road stone tablet."

"The rumors are getting worse and worse, which has caused a fatal blow to the construction of the Huating at that time. The number of missing people is increasing, and there is no trace of it. In the end, even the police intervened in the investigation, but they could not find any name. In the end, no one was willing to do anything for the money given. The project eventually had to be stranded. In the end, Boss Shen had to come to find Guanghai and me, and it was fine to tell me how much money it was, and asked Guanghai to save him."

"Then, Guanghai told him that although the stone tablet was pushed down, he arranged a backup plan. He told him that the Sizhen Road connected to a 'road' of the dead souls, and he said that he would call it the 'yin ghost road'. After the stone tablet was pushed down, the dead souls of the originally suppressed 'road' would guide the living people into that road again. However, the most terrifying thing was the deepest part of the 'road'. Even he didn't know what was there, only he knew, so he calculated the most dangerous damn hexagram. He knew that he could never escape this disaster, so he found an apprentice in advance and taught him all he had learned."

"And he... can temporarily block the 'yin ghost road'." (To be continued. Please search for Piaotianwen, novels are better, updated and faster!)
