Tang Mengjie saw that the little girl and I were looking at him and asked, "Is this the old abbot you mentioned?"

I said, "Yes! The first time I came here, he saw through my identity. Let's follow him! He is leading the way for us."

Tang Mengjie looked at the old abbot's back in surprise, and we walked toward the back of the temple together.

There was a meditation hall at the back. The five of us were put in, but Xiangzi was left outside.

Xiangzi was dissatisfied, but the little girl just glared at him and he stopped talking.

Everything in the world comes one after another. Xiangzi is not afraid of anything, but now he is afraid of the little girl.

Sitting in the meditation hall, the old abbot looked at us, just smiled and did not speak.

At this time Xuan Mengya couldn't hold it any longer.

Xuan Mengya said: "Old monk, I heard that you can see through everything. If we don't tell you, can you know why we are here?"

The old abbot said: "First, I have not become a monk, so I am not a monk. I am just presiding over affairs here. I am just an acting abbot. Second, I can see through everything in your past, and I also know what you are here for."

It’s here, but if you don’t ask, I won’t tell you.”

The old abbot started practicing Zen. I knew the old abbot's rules. He only answered questions and would not take the initiative to tell everything. So he said: "When I came, you said that only the five of us could seal the monster."

, is this true?”

The old abbot nodded and said, "I have never told lies."

I said: "But the five of us are already together, why haven't we found a way to seal the monster yet?"

The old abbot said: "I said that because the five of you haven't gotten together yet. Now that you are together, I can tell you the conditions for the seal."

I said: "What are the conditions?"

The old abbot said: "That is to choose your captain."

I looked at the little girl, and she nodded. This is what the old abbot said to her.

The little girl said: "We have selected the captain, but why is it still ineffective?"

The old abbot asked: "Who is the captain?"

The little girl patted Tang Mengjie on the back and said, "She is the captain we elected."

The old abbot looked at Tang Mengjie several times and said, "She is not the captain yet."

We were immediately surprised. We have already chosen the captain. She is either the captain or not the captain. How could we say she is not the captain yet?

Xuan Mengya was overjoyed and said, "Isn't she the captain? Old abbot, let's see, which one of us should be the captain?"

The old abbot shook his head and said: "The captain is not chosen by anyone, and I don't have the final say as to the captain."

Xuan Mengya was stunned and asked: "What does this mean?"

The old abbot said: "Only one drop of the blood of the five of you is the captain. This was set long ago when you fell into the world. But this is not fixed and will change as things develop.

"

Tang Mengjie said: "What the old abbot means is that I am not the captain I was originally set to be?"

The old abbot shook his head and said: "No, I just said that I can't see it yet."
