Chapter 33: Blackstone Temple
"Why is the fog getting heavier and heavier in the mountains and forests? Are we going the wrong way?"
"The compass has failed, little junior sister, take a poison-avoiding pill, the mist in this forest may be poisonous. Between the fog and the soaking room, Shi Yinghu felt a little dizzy, and he took out a poison avoidance pill and swallowed it.
Jinshi Mountain Range, in the mountains and forests, Huo Tianxing, Shi Yinghu, Yan Feifei, and Hua Yun are hurrying in the mountains and forests.
It's just that I don't know when it started, and the pale white fog spread around me, so that I lost my direction. A group of four people seems, like, maybe, maybe...... I guess I'm lost.
Thundered.
With the dull sound of thunder rolling, the sky changed rapidly, and it wasn't long before heavy rain poured down.
The house leak happened to rain overnight, which is not miserable, the real tragedy is that there is no tile on the head, but it happened to encounter rain and storms.
"This kind of wind and rain, we are too dangerous in the mountains and forests, in case a thunderbolt strikes......" Just when Huo Tianxing opened his mouth and planned to let the junior brothers and sisters find a place to shelter from the rain.
"Oh!?Senior brother, senior sister, there is light in front of me. He shouted excitedly, and then Hua Yun ran over quickly.
At this moment, the sky is dark, the rain is stormy, and it has been poured into a soup chicken and then blown by the cold wind, even a martial artist who has accumulated true qi will not feel comfortable.
Therefore, it was not incomprehensible that Hua Yun was so excited, she ran in front quickly, and Yan Feifei followed her to chase her.
The four of them had prepared rain gear, but it would be good if they could find a warm place to stay.
"Where the mountains have been sealed, how can there be human lights?" Huo Tianxing looked at the fire in the darkness from afar, and frowned.
"Yes, have you forgotten what we are here for? lost, foggy, rainstormy...... The coincidence is a bit excessive. Although the brothers and sisters said this to each other, Huo Tianxing and Shi Yinghu still strode to follow.
The rain and wind are strong, there is a faint thunder rushing in the black clouds, thunder and lightning, and the thunder light brings a moment of clear rain and night, which also makes Huo Tianxing and Shi Yinghu, who followed closely, see clearly, there are three big characters on the plaque above the ancient building: Black Stone Temple.
"Is there anybody? Is anybody there? If there's no one, we'll just go in. Hua Yun didn't seem to see the words on the plaque on his head, and pulled the copper ring and slapped the door.
"It's coming, it's coming, please wait a moment. There was a clear response from the temple, and then the door was opened inward, and a handsome little novice came out with a lantern.
"Amitabha, good female donor, good donor, are you lost in the mountains? Then please come in, although this temple is small, but there is always no problem in providing you with one night of food and lodging. ”
"Thank you. ”
"It's late at night, and it's a lot of disturbance. ”
"Where it is convenient for monks and people, it is convenient for them, please donors. "As I walked into the temple, the wind and rain seemed to be much less. The moment Shi Yinghu stepped into the temple, he felt as if he had forgotten something important, but in fact, this feeling was already there when the white mist shrouded him.
At this moment, the group of four was temporarily blocked from most of the vigilance and hostility towards the Black Rock Temple.
Entering the temple, although the ancient temple in front of you is remote and desolate, it is unexpectedly elegantly arranged, with white stone paths, stone platform lights, and small lakes and clear ponds.
In the stone platform on the side of the white stone path, there are also air death wind lanterns, just like the two cages hanging at the entrance of the black stone temple.
"Donors, please, this temple is located in a remote area, at present, only the little monk and the master are sad that the abbot is practicing in the temple, and there are two couples who cook the vegetable garden, it is late tonight, so I will not ask them to come out to meet with the donors. If there is any rudeness, please also ask Haihan. While carrying a lantern to lead the way quickly, the very polite little monk said this.
"Where? It's the little master who is so polite, we have been disturbed a lot when we come here late at night, and it would be good if we could stay overnight. ”
Since there is an abbot in the temple, then other people can not be seen, as a guest, the abbot in the temple always has to see him.
Under the guidance of the little monk, Huo Tianxing, Shi Yinghu, Yan Feifei, and Hua Yun came to the door of a quiet room after turning around. The little monk opened the door and walked in first, as if to report the incident to the master.
"There's a weirdness everywhere in this monastery, and it gives me a very strange feeling. Although the memory of the Black Stone Temple in his mind was fading, Shi Yinghu still instinctively had to be vigilant in his heart, even if the pre-impression was eliminated by the mysterious power, a person's regular reactions/basic qualities were still there.
"Force-on-hand trying?"
“...... If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move, let's see what kind of medicine can be sold in this gourd. ”
Just as Huo Tianxing and Shi Yinghu were whispering, the little monk came out, and he raised his hand at the four of them and said, "Four donors, please." ”
After opening the paper door for the four of them, the figure of the little monk melted into the darkness.
In front of him, in the humble room, the dim oil lamp was shining, and an old monk with a scorched face and an extended longevity was sitting cross-legged on the futon in the room.
"The old monk is dying, there are distinguished guests, but he can't get up to greet him, and I ask the donors to forgive their sins. ”
"The abbot is polite, and the four of us brothers and sisters are disturbing late at night. Please allow us to stay here overnight and offer incense. In this case, Huo Tianxing, as the third senior brother, took the lead in stepping out, as he said, the etiquette of the disciples of the great sect, even Shi Yinghu was lacking in this regard.
"It is natural that the mountains and wilderness are inconvenient to walk on at night and there are many dangers. Without any hesitation, the old monk nodded in response to Huo Tianxing's request.
............
Half an hour later, the female family room.
"Fifth Senior Brother, do you think there's anything unusual here? I don't think that old monk is a bad person, he's quite kind. After changing into his wet clothes, Hua Yun was dressed in a light robe and said while wiping his hair with a towel.
"Are you stupid? Do you look like a bad person? Do bad people carve words on their faces?"
“...... You're a bit of a bad guy, and you're always fierce with your evil appearance. Hua Yun refuted his fifth senior brother in fragments, and hid behind his senior sister Yan Feifei, although the fifth senior brother's martial arts are high, he is the junior brother who has the shortest entry time except for himself, and Shi Yinghu has always respected Huo Tianxing and Yan Feifei.
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door of the room.
"Who?" Yan Feifei frowned and asked out loud.
"Two female donors. I am the cook in the Black Rock Temple, and the abbot asked me to make some hot soup and pasta for the two of you to ward off the cold. ”
"Okay, I'll open the door. When Yan Fei flew over to open the door, Shi Yinghu and Huo Tianxing suddenly jumped onto the beam of the room and hid in the shadows.
The door opened, and a simple, but rather fair-handsome, woman entered, and from her food box brought out two bowls of steaming hot noodle soup: tomatoes and poached eggs.
"Two donors, please use it slowly, I have to send it to your companions. ”
"I'm sorry to excuse you, there are some coins here, please take them. ”
"No trouble, no trouble, you don't want this, it's just two bowls of noodles. The woman refused twice, but finally accepted the coin in Yan Feifei's hand, because Yan Feifei's attitude was sincere and sincere, and there was no condescending intention.
As she was walking out, the woman suddenly turned around and said to Yan Feifei: "Miss, it's stormy tonight, what do you use to plug your ears when you sleep, get a good night's sleep tonight, and tomorrow will be a sunny day." ”
"Thank you, sister, I see. Yan Feifei responded politely, but he didn't care too much, the martial artist was focused, and generally speaking, the quality of sleep would not be too bad.
The cook had just left, and the greedy Hua Yun had already sniffed at the top of the two bowls of noodles, with a salivating look.
"Ah, this noodle is so fragrant, but can a monk eat eggs?"
"It depends on whether it is an ancient method of cultivation or a modern method of cultivation, if it is an ancient method of cultivation, you can eat anything, and you don't pick your fate, not to mention that the sister just now is not a monk. ”
Just as Hua Yun picked up the chopsticks and was about to feast, Shi Yinghu landed beside her, and a chestnut knocked on Hua Yun's forehead.
"When you go out, you dare to eat whatever others give, you starve to death and reincarnate? While speaking, Shi Yinghu threw each person a Bigu Yangyuan Pill, and after swallowing it, they could not eat or even drink water for a day or two.
"Old Five, let's go back first, ahead of the cook. ”
"Good. As he spoke, Huo Tianxing and Shi Yinghu pushed out the window, and the two quickly walked to the men's room.
"Cut, am I stupid? I don't eat the fragrant hot noodle soup, eat Bigu Dan. Yan Feifei took Bigu Yangyuan Dan, but Hua Yun still ate the bowl of hot noodle soup, and seeing that her senior sister didn't eat it, she even ate another bowl.
In order not to let the cook rush into the air, Shi Yinghu and Huo Tianxing pushed the window and turned over, and quickly returned to their room.
Sure enough, a moment later, the cook came to deliver the noodles again. After a polite exchange, Shi Yinghu took the food box and stuffed it into the cook to give some money.
"Well, it's really fragrant, no wonder the little junior sister will move her index finger after smelling it. Tomatoes, cucumber slices, and plump poached eggs, Shi Yinghu sniffed them, and then pushed them aside, at this moment his previous impression of the Black Stone Temple had almost disappeared.
But in an unfamiliar environment, the cautious nature will not change, the deep mountains, the ancient temple, all of this makes Shi Yinghu instinctively feel that something is wrong.
............
Late at night, women's room.
Hua Yun got up like a zombie, and then she rubbed her "gurgling" belly, her face full of confusion.
"It's strange, I even ate my senior sister's bowl of hot noodle soup, why are I so hungry now? Where did I throw away the Bigu Dan that the fifth senior brother gave me...... Woo, I'm so hungry that I can't sleep. ”
"What's the matter, little junior sister?" Hua Yun's movements woke Yan Feifei, who turned sideways and asked softly.
"Oh, nothing, I'm a little sick to my stomach. Hua Yun was embarrassed to say that he was woken up by hunger.
"Senior sister, I'll go out to the toilet, don't worry, sleep well. ”
"I was so hungry that I couldn't sleep, so I went to the kitchen to see if there was anything to eat. The previous sentence is what Senior Sister Yan said, and the latter sentence is Hua Yun's own heart, thinking of the two bowls of hot noodle soup she ate tonight, the little girl felt that she had a lot of saliva secreting in her mouth, it is said that Hua Yun was born wealthy, and she didn't eat less lobster and abalone from the mountains and seas, but she didn't know why, tonight's mind was full of those two bowls of hot noodle soup, and she was almost hungry to the point that she couldn't help it.
The entire Black Stone Temple is not big, but it is dark and gloomy, and it faintly gives people the feeling that there is some unspeakable ghost hidden in the shadows.
Hua Yun was a little dizzy, even if she didn't want to look for food at this time, she couldn't endure hunger until dawn, because she couldn't find her way back to the wing.
Just after wandering around for an unknown number of laps, Hua Yun couldn't help but want to call someone, when a fragrance suddenly entered the girl's nose, the little girl wrinkled her delicate nose, and her beautiful little face showed excitement, and she looked for the fragrance like a puppy.
"Great, there's someone down there, eat a big meal and ask for the way back, kill two birds with one stone, I'm really smart. "When I came to the kitchen of the monastery, the aroma of the food was stronger, the fire in the stove flickered, and the pot gurgled in the pot, but there was no one in the kitchen.
"Is there anybody? Is anyone there? The noodles are already cooked, and if you don't come out again, the noodles will be cooked. He shouted twice, but there was silence in all directions.
Inexplicably, Hua Yun felt that the surroundings were a little quiet, but this was a mountain forest, and the surroundings were so quiet that there was no sound at all, however, the fragrance lingered, and the little girl's eyes were still attracted by the cauldron in front of her after all.
"I'll help you take a look, if you cook the noodles again, they will be bad. He explained to himself, and then Hua Yun lifted the lid of the cauldron, only to see a large amount of dirty mud, earthworms, and the distorted shadows of a large number of monks overlapping inside.
However, Hua Yun didn't seem to be able to see this scene, she swallowed her saliva, picked up the chopsticks, and then picked up the earthworms that were constantly writhing and stuffed them into her mouth, mud and blood flowed, but at this time Hua Yun was no longer aware of it.
With a bang, the more she devoured it, the more she felt that the hungry girl in her belly threw away her chopsticks and began to eat with her own hands, and at this time, a row of ancient Sanskrit seal characters appeared on Hua Yun's forehead, who was completely starved: "The crime of stealing, you should go to hell and suffer from 100,000 tongue pulling!"
At this time, at the door of the kitchen, the white and beautiful cook lady stood and watched.
A terrifying crimson glow shone from her eyes, her mouth opened up and down, her teeth extended, and a large amount of acidic saliva flowed out and fell to the ground, even scorching smoke.
"Eat, eat, eat...... I'm too, I'm so hungry too!" At this moment, Shi Yinghu was also wandering in the temple, and Yan Feifei and Huo Tianxing's room heard a knock on the door almost at the same moment.
