Chapter 7 Lanruo Temple
Although the Han Dynasty has been out selling cloth all the year round, he has always used the sun to discern the direction during the day and the Big Dipper at night, but the rain is too heavy, and the two of them are like two headless flies, and they accidentally bumped into it, and found that there was a building complex faintly in front of them, which was dotted with stars, and there seemed to be lights.
The two of them were overjoyed, and finally found a place to shelter from the rain, and hurried to the complex.
When I got closer, I found that it was a dilapidated temple, and there were many thatched huts around it, and of course, like the temple, it had been dilapidated for a long time.
The two of them have been drenched in heavy rain like chickens in soup, where can they care if this temple village is dilapidated or not, as the saying goes, thatched huts and tiled houses, those who can shelter from the rain are good houses.
When you enter the village, you will find that there are Buddha statues everywhere in the village.
The Buddha statue is solemn, but it still can't suppress the breath of death here.
Seeing such a scene, Zhong Yebai and Dahan couldn't help but retreat.
But the two of them have long been drenched in heavy rain and can't stand it, if they don't move forward, they will continue to rain and continue to move forward, and the psychological pressure is very great, and they only suffered losses in the first half of the night.
Zhong Yebai is okay, he has experienced countless times in the rain of bullets and bullets, and he has walked back and forth a few times before the ghost gate is closed, and he is not confused, but his whole body is tense and he seems extremely cautious.
As for the big man, he couldn't help but feel a heat in his crotch, and his whole body had been wet with heavy rain, so he was not noticed by Zhong Yebai, but he was afraid in his heart, and when he saw the Buddha statues standing everywhere in the village, he couldn't help but almost kowtow again, praying for the blessing of the Buddha, but fortunately he was pulled by Zhong Yebai in time, and reminded him of the consequences of worshipping the clay Taoist priest in the first half of the night.
The more they walked inside, the more empty their hearts became, but the village was not big, and after only a hundred steps, the two came to the door of this temple.
I saw a huge plaque hanging on the door of the temple, with three big characters written on it, written vigorously and powerfully.
"Lanruo Temple!"
In the face of these three big characters, Dahan almost fainted after just one glance, and he was held down by Zhong Yebai in time before he woke up.
"Lanruo Temple?" Zhong Yebai saw these three words, although he had experienced a hundred battles, he still couldn't help but feel numb on his scalp, could it be the Lanruo Temple where Ning Caichen stayed overnight?
It shouldn't be that coincidental!
Zhong Yebai hurriedly comforted himself.
Is it possible that a story in a book will be encountered by yourself?
Moreover, when I secretly read Pu Songling's "Strange Tales from Liaozhai" when I was in middle school, I clearly remembered that there were a few big words written on the cover - "This book is pure fiction", and as for the sentence "If there is any similarity, it is purely a coincidence", it absolutely did not appear.
But although he thought so in his heart, Zhong Yebai was still beating a drum in his heart, is there any danger in taking shelter from the rain? What danger will there be? Will there be the legendary Nie Xiaoqian? Is there an old demon from Montenegro?
There is no bottom, there is no bottom!
But now that you're here, can you turn around and go out in the rain?
No, absolutely not!
Pushing open the gate of the creaking Lanruo Temple, I saw a dead silence in the temple, and there were indeed more than a dozen unknown animals scattered away, with a green light bursting in their eyes, and the figure should be a fox.
Dahan was frightened by the sound of the foxes, and couldn't help but heat it up again, but of course, he still didn't notice it by Zhong Yebai.
"Young man, I have heard of this Lanruo Temple, it is said that this place is extremely dangerous, and few people passing by here can go back alive, or let's go!" The big man was really frightened, and immediately retreated, wanting to turn around and leave this Lanruo Temple and this dilapidated village.
"It's raining too much, I don't know what danger I'll encounter when I go outside, it's better to stay here for one night, recharge my energy, and wait for the rain to stop before leaving! Besides, didn't the Peng Dao people give me two scriptures, let's go in and study hard, maybe there will be any unexpected gains!"
Zhong Yebai pulled the big man back, walked to the temple with steps, and saw that the Daxiong Treasure Hall was well preserved, and it seemed that it was good to shelter from the rain, so he walked in.
Zhong Yebai naturally didn't have the strength to pull the big man back, but the big man was really very timid, and he never dared to act alone.
But I heard a thunderstorm in the sky, and in an instant, I saw the big man holding his head and rushing to the front of Zhong Yebai, Zhong Yebai looked at the big man's appearance of holding his head and running around, and couldn't help laughing.
This laughter is so bold, it is not at all what the little beggar's body that has not yet fully grown can be made, Zhong Yebai was also taken aback, how could his body make such a bold sound, the hairs on his body couldn't help but stand upside down, and he looked back tremblingly at the frightened gaze of the big man.
It turned out to be a heavy thunderbolt in the courtyard, a tree that was about a thousand years old, and several people couldn't report it but had already died.
The fire burned, blocking the only way for Zhong Yebai and Dahan to exit the courtyard, but fortunately in misfortune, although the fire was big, there was still some distance from Zhong Yebai and Dahan's Daxiong Treasure Hall to hide from the rain, not to mention, running on a rainy night, his body was already cold, and Zhong Yebai was still hungry, this fire happened to send Zhong Yebai a long-lost warmth.
It's just this weird laughter......
Zhong Yebai couldn't think of anything for a while, and after checking his body, there was nothing unusual, maybe he was too hungry, or he ran wildly for two hours, and he had auditory hallucinations, which was also reasonable.
Seeing that the fire in the courtyard was raging, Zhong Yebai did not shy away from the presence of the big man, of course, the two big men had nothing to avoid, took off the clothes on their bodies, found a few bamboo poles and put them at the door of the Daxiong Treasure Palace, and baked them by the fire in the courtyard, although there was some distance, but there was still some temperature, and the wet clothes should be dried out, there should be no problem.
After taking off his clothes, he saw Zhong Yebai jumping into the pouring rain, taking a bath happily, and after the dirt on his skin was washed away, he found that his skin was so white and tender, and a little beggar came and went in the rain in the wind, where could he maintain his skin so moisturized.
Could it be ......
Could it be that this body has another identity before?
While enjoying the pleasure of scrubbing the dirt off his body, he suddenly looked back at the dead old tree that was still burning, and a frightened consciousness flashed in Zhong Yebai's mind......
Heavy rain...... Rubbing ......
Heavy rain...... Blaze......
This ancient tree is burning too much, and the rain is so heavy that it can't stop its fire, what is the situation?
Could it be that this ancient tree is too rich in oil?
There are many kinds of plants in nature that have a relatively high oil content, such as eucalyptus, which has a high eucalyptus oil content, which is difficult to extinguish once burned, and it is difficult to extinguish forest fires in Australia because eucalyptus has a great "credit".
But the dead tree in front of him, looking at its shape, obviously does not belong to eucalyptus, and the smell of burning has a faint smell of corpse burning, this smell, in the battlefield filled with gunsmoke many times, Zhong Yebai has repeatedly rubbed shoulders with the corpse of the person who is burning, every time he recalls the smell of burning, even after rigorous training, Zhong Yebai's belly still can't help but feel nauseous.
And less than twenty-four hours after crossing into this world, Zhong Yebai smelled this smell again.
Could it be that this tree, this burning tree that has grown for I don't know how many years but has long since died, is not just a tree in the ordinary sense?
