There was no sound in the valley, and the view was too wide, so the little Taoist priest did not dare to follow too closely. When he looked around again, he found that the monk had disappeared.

But this couldn't help the little Taoist priest. He was a child with a wolfish nature. He slowly leaned down and smelled the ground. The monk's scent turned out to be pointing to the cliff on the left.

Following the smell, he walked to the edge of the cliff. What stood in front of him were two large trees growing crosswise together. The trunks were not high, but the branches and leaves were dense. It felt like two lovers clinging tightly to each other.

The little Taoist priest knew about the condition of this kind of tree. People in the mountains called it the "heart-connecting tree". It is said that as long as lovers make a wish under this kind of tree, their wishes will definitely come true.

There was obviously no way out ahead, but there was a rustling sound coming from behind the tree.

'Could it be that there are holes behind these two trees?'

The little Taoist priest did not dare to touch the leaves for fear of making noise and alerting the monks inside. He could only wait quietly until no sound was heard. Then he carefully began to separate the leaves and cut out a

A small gap comes.

Immediately, a faint light shot out from inside, and a figure could be vaguely seen, with his back to him in the cave, digging for something. There was a lighted lamp placed against the wall.

searchlight.

"Is the monk digging for treasure here?" The little Taoist priest was about to take a closer look when he suddenly found another figure next to the monk's shadow. This figure had a graceful figure and was wearing a long skirt. At first glance, he looked like he was rich.

The lady of the house.

Strangely, the monk didn't seem to notice that there was a woman standing behind him. He was still digging with his head buried in the ground. Suddenly, he seemed to have dug something? He simply threw away the tool in his hand,

I started planing by hand instead.

Finally, he carefully took out an object wrapped in oilcloth from the ground. He placed it gently on the ground, and then carefully opened it. A golden phoenix crown appeared. On the top of the phoenix crown, there was a huge phoenix.

The two sides are decorated with open bun-shaped hair, which looks like a comb worn by ancient ladies.

"Get rich, get rich!" The monk raised his phoenix crown high and shouted, his voice echoing in the cave, sounding particularly harsh.

"Ms. sir, you are finally back!" A woman's voice also sounded in the cave.

The monk was startled, and he looked around in panic. The strange thing was that he couldn't seem to see the shadow on the cave wall. He quickly put the phoenix crown away and wrapped it up again.

The little Taoist priest was also startled into a cold sweat outside the cave, because the voice was so real, and he saw the shadow on the cave wall, which seemed to be moving.

"Ms. sir, I've been waiting for you here for hundreds of years, and you're finally back." The shadow on the cave wall rushed towards the monk, and the monk got an idea, picked up the phoenix crown and ran away.

"Ms. sir, don't go. It's been so many years since we met again. Are you preparing to go on an expedition again?" The shadow passed through the monk's body and suddenly stood in front of him.

The monk only heard sounds in his ears, but could not see anyone. He just rushed forward in a hurry. He only felt that he seemed to have hit something. He staggered and rushed out, and the phoenix crown in his hand also flew out. Wait.

he

When he got up again, he could no longer see the phoenix crown in front of him. He didn't bother to look for it anymore and rushed out of the cave without even daring to look back.

The moment he rushed out of the cave, he seemed to see a figure flashing. He did not dare to stay any longer, and immediately ran out of the valley as if running for his life. A woman's voice still came from behind him: "Ms., please stay.

Come down and stay with me."

The little Taoist priest not only saw everything outside the cave, but the phoenix crown that flew out rolled in front of him. He immediately stretched out his hand to grab it out of the cave. Seeing the monk fleeing without looking back, the little Taoist priest did not dare to stay a moment longer.

He stayed and quickly exited the valley.

Now that he had the phoenix crown in hand, the little Taoist was not afraid that he would have nothing to lure the monk into taking the bait. He followed the monk back to the mountainside again, and once the monk hid in the hut, he never came out again.

The little Taoist priest is not in a hurry, he needs to think of a perfect way to avenge his master.

The monk did not dare to go out for several days because he seemed to always hear the sound of meditating and chanting sutras coming from the old Taoist priest's hut next door. Sometimes, it even came to his own door.

The monk had also seen a ghost once. At first he suspected that he heard it wrong, but the same voice came out for several days in a row. How could he not believe that it was the old Taoist priest who came back to look for him?

He hung a yellow talisman in his room and recited the Diamond Sutra constantly every day so that he would not feel fear in his heart. But he couldn't bear not eating for a few days. He just felt that he was beginning to become

Feeling weak and weak, the whole body has no energy.

The sound next door finally stopped. He listened carefully again and found that there was indeed no sound. He tried to push the door open, and a ray of sunlight came in, stinging him so much that he almost couldn't open his eyes.

He reached up to his forehead to block the sun, and found a person looking at him not far from the door. He shivered with fright and broke out in a cold sweat. The person was wearing a blue Taoist priest's robe and holding a hand.

A very familiar-looking oilcloth bag.

"Tao..." The monk finally saw clearly the shadow outside. It was not the ghost of the old Taoist priest, but the little Taoist priest who had been beaten away by him. The oilcloth bag in his hand was the one he dug out in the cave.

of golden phoenix crown.

"Little Taoist, it turns out you are the one who has been causing trouble these past few days!" Seeing that it was his subordinate who was defeated, the monk's confidence suddenly increased, and he boldly walked out of the hut.

"Yes, monk, I will avenge my master today." The little Taoist priest shouted categorically.

"Just you?" Against the little Taoist priest, the monk was still sure of victory. He had already forgotten the fact that he had not eaten for several days.

"Okay, let's make a bet today. If I reach the top of the mountain first, you will kowtow to my master three times at the top of the mountain; if I lose..."

"What if you lose?" The monk smiled. In terms of footwork, who here can be faster than him?

The little Taoist priest opened the oilcloth bag, and a golden light shot out: "I will return it to you."

The monk's eyes lit up. This was the golden phoenix crown that he had worked so hard to dig out, and it was also the biggest temptation for him.

"Okay, I promise you." The monk rushed forward before he finished speaking. He has always been an unruly person.

However, he

It felt like his movements today were not as agile as before, because it was obvious that the little Taoist priest's reaction seemed to be faster than his. As soon as the golden light disappeared, he had already turned around and ran out.

The monk suddenly jumped away, but in his eyes, only the golden phoenix crown was left, and he immediately used all his strength to catch up.

The two of them were running one after another. According to the past situation, the monk should definitely be able to catch up with the little Taoist priest within 800 meters. However, he was obviously a little unable to do what he wanted today, especially his steps were a little weak.

Not motivated enough.

However, the little Taoist priest didn't seem to be running blindly today. He was obviously waiting for him a hundred meters ahead.

'He obviously wants to humiliate himself!' The monk gritted his teeth, and regardless of the fact that he was already out of breath, he chased after him desperately. Seeing that the top of the mountain was not far away, but between himself and the little Taoist priest

During this time, they still kept a distance of tens of meters. The monk was anxious, he knew that he could not catch up with him again, and he felt bad all his life.

Seeing that the little Taoist priest had reached the top of the mountain and stopped, he had no intention of stopping. He even jumped up and crashed into the little Taoist priest. He wanted to knock the little Taoist priest down the cliff together with him.

Meaning. At the same time, he also stretched out his hand to snatch the oilcloth bag from the little Taoist priest's hand.

The little Taoist didn't seem to expect that the monk had such a move. In a flash of haste, his Taoist robe was ripped off by the monk, and the oilcloth bag in his hand also fell. He wanted to stop to pick it up, but his foot slipped.

The whole body flew out.

Only then did he see clearly that behind the little Taoist priest was a piece of white powder.

"You tricked me..." The monk's body seemed to have fallen on ice, and his feet were already weak. He could no longer control his body falling off the cliff. He turned over suddenly, trying to catch the cliff.

There was nothing on the edge of the cliff, but there was nothing on the edge of the cliff. In the end, all that was left to him was the little Taoist priest looking at him indifferently...

It was almost in the same place as the corpse of the old Taoist priest. Only the dead man's bald head was exposed, and he was covered with a blue Taoist robe. When he opened the Taoist robe, it turned out to be the corpse of a monk with a split brain.

"Lin Suo, he is really a monk." Dashu glanced at him and covered his face with his Taoist robe.

"Why is there a Taoist robe here?" Lin Jinghao raised his head and looked towards the top of the mountain. He seemed to see the little Taoist priest standing on the top of the mountain looking down.

"See if there are any signs of damage on the Taoist robe?" What fell with the old Taoist priest last time was just a corner of the Taoist robe. He believed that this corner must have some specific relationship with the Taoist robe that fell this time.

"It's true, Suo Lin, there are traces of repair on the right sleeve of the Taoist robe...it looks like it's still very new." Dashu carefully inspected the Taoist robe.

"Look at the soles of the monk's feet. Are there any white traces left by talcum powder?"

"Yes, not only on the soles of the shoes, but also on the pants and clothes." Dashu replied while inspecting.

Lin Jinghao's eyes were still looking in the direction of the top of the mountain. Everything was already obvious. The little Taoist killed him in the same way that the monk killed his master. This was a typical "tit for tat" act of revenge.
