Mysterious World Tour

Of course, the idea of ​​bringing a brick was just a sudden thought of Tan Mo. At first, he couldn't find anything suitable, so he found a brick. Now that his ability to control objects is so strong, there are naturally better options.

For example, swords.

However, it is not appropriate for a monk to carry a knife or a sword, so what Tan Mo really considered is a bowl.

It is best to have an iron bowl.

It doesn't matter whether it is easy to rust, as long as it is heavy enough to knock people out.

Tan Mo put the scriptures back to their original place, that is, in the two small boxes. Two spells, two scriptures of the Ten Kings, this trip has benefited him a lot.

He walked out of the door and told a nearby maid that he had finished reading the scriptures and asked her to return them to Yi Jie.

The maid seemed to have received instructions long ago. When she heard what Tan Mo said, she agreed, entered Tan Mo's room, and took away the two small boxes.

Then, the maid came with another box.

This time it was a large wooden box.

The wooden box was filled with various books, including Buddhist scriptures, Taoist scriptures, and Confucian classics, most of which were annotations by predecessors. There were more than a dozen annotated versions of the Analects alone in this box. Each annotated version was written by a great Confucian sage.

"This is a gift from a layman to the little master to relieve his boredom. If the little master likes it, he can take it away directly." The maid said so.

Tan Mo then put his hands together and thanked him solemnly: "Namo Amitabha, thank you, elder sister, please tell me for me."

This was Yi Jie's gesture of goodwill. Tan Mo wanted to live in peace, so he had to accept it honestly.

In addition, Yi Jie's move was probably meant to contain him.

Yi Jie, Yi Luo and the other two were probably not just getting together this time, but were undoubtedly planning something famous. If Tan Mo refused, he would probably be suspected of having ulterior motives.

Besides, this was exactly what he wanted.

Tan Mo picked up a book and began to read it.

Night fell quickly.

Nothing happened overnight.

However, the next day, Tan Mo did not see Yi Jie and Yi Luo. After asking the maid, he learned that Yi Jie and her fellow apprentices had left at midnight yesterday.

Tan Mo did not ask much. After breakfast, he started his daily homework as he did in the temple.

After completing today's practice, Tan Mo exhaled lightly, feeling that the knife-cutting and axe-chiseling sensation in his body was slowly easing, so he took out the book he had not finished reading yesterday and continued reading.

He was reading a commentary on the Heart Sutra.

The commentary on the Heart Sutra was basically a copy of others' words, and there was nothing outstanding in the understanding of the meaning of the sutra. But some of the short stories interspersed in it were particularly interesting.

These short stories were not all about Buddhism, but also about Taoism.

For example, the short story that Tan Mo was reading.

It was about a Taoist with great magical powers who settled on an island overseas with his wife and children. Once when he was out, he calculated that his trip was risky, so he performed a ritual to get a basin of water and put a paper boat in it, hoping to hide the danger and avoid the crisis.

To be on the safe side, the Taoist specifically asked his disciples to keep an eye on him and not let his playful daughter get close.

Unexpectedly, this disciple had been secretly communicating with the Taoist's wife, so when the Taoist left, he ignored the wooden tray filled with water. The Taoist's daughter was a girl, and when she saw a paper boat floating in the wooden basin, she immediately started playing happily.

The paper boat rose and fell in the water, and then was torn apart by the Taoist's daughter.

In this way, the Taoist's method was not only in vain, but he was also almost seriously injured and killed by the backlash of the Taoist magic. Fortunately, the Taoist was lucky enough to be rescued after the ship was destroyed at sea and returned to the island.

After returning, the Taoist called his disciples to scold him, but then he changed his mind and felt that something was wrong.

Finally, the Taoist found the hat on his head.

However, he did not show it, but quietly turned his disciple into a pig, and then dragged it to the market to be slaughtered and sold.

With the money from selling the pig, he bought a string of candied haws for his daughter.

The Taoist's daughter, who was crying because her senior brother was missing and she had no playmates, immediately forgot about her senior brother when she saw the candied haws.

This little story was very interesting, and Tan Mo read it with relish.

Unknowingly, it was dark again.

When Tan Mo was about to go to bed, he suddenly heard a noise outside. It was caused by many people running around. He walked out and looked at a maid holding a torch and asked: "Donor, what happened?"

"Little Master, there is a little thief in the mansion. We are catching the thief. We disturbed the little master. Please forgive us."

"I see." Tan Mo clasped his hands together, thanked him, and then returned to his room.

Hearing that he was catching a thief, whether it was true or false, Tan Mo didn't care.

Tan Mo lay down on the bed, but he didn't fall asleep. The noise outside gradually disappeared, and then it was quiet again. I thought the thief was caught.

Tan Mo was about to close his eyes, but suddenly, Tan Mo found that his door was quietly opened, and then a figure quickly flipped in, and then quickly closed the door with both hands.

At this moment, the room was dark, so Tan Mo couldn't see clearly who came in.

But listening to the other person's breathing, the other person should be injured now.

Faintly, Tan Mo also smelled a smell of blood.

Undoubtedly, this person is most likely the thief that the maids want to catch. Tan Mo was very surprised that this thief was not caught and slipped into his room.

And seeing the man's skillful movements of opening and closing the door, it is obvious that this person is very familiar with Yijie's mansion and has the key of Yijie's mansion in his hand.

Tan Mo locked the door when he entered the house just now.

But this thief came in so easily and quickly. If he didn't have the key in his hand, it would be unreasonable.

Tan Mo couldn't help but become curious about this person's identity.

This thief is obviously a house thief.

So, what exactly does this house thief want to find in Yijie's mansion?

Tan Mo was surprised in his heart. Seeing that the figure was just squatting at the door and had no intention of walking to his bed, he thought about it and pretended to sleep.

The other party didn't move, so he didn't move either.

In this way, at about four o'clock in the morning, this person moved.

I saw this person open the door and go out quickly.

After leaving, he closed the door for Tan Mo.

The footsteps outside became fainter and fainter, and soon they could not be heard.

Tan Mo got up and walked to the place where the man had squatted. At four o'clock in the morning, the sky was already slightly bright, and Tan Mo's eyes were not completely dark. He looked around and soon made a discovery.
