14. Forbidden land

"What did you say?" Yang Zhutou and Zhang Zhifu were both taken aback.

How could that maid be in the temple? At the time of the accident, the temple sent people to inquire and check, but no abnormalities were found. What everyone said was also unanimous, is it lying together? How is this possible?

Shen Shu said again: "That maid is indeed in the Shuying Temple. ”

Before the red wall and green tiles, wasn't there a stone tablet erected on it, and it was written "Shuying Temple"?

The green-clothed maid, her clothes were dirty, obviously after some escape and struggle, she raised her head and muttered "Liu Yuan". It's just that I don't know why she calls Miss by her name. These will have to be inquired about when we find her.

"If you don't believe me, I'll go with you and find out." Shen Shu said.

Yang Zhutou and Zhang Zhifu looked at each other, and after being stunned for a long time, Zhang Zhifu finally spoke: "Okay, let's go." "When you get to the temple, if you can't find the maid, then it's useless to let her talk about it.

In just a few moments, two palanquins were ready. The four of them got into the sedan chair, and the officials followed, heading towards the Shuying Temple.

*************************

Shuying Temple on the outskirts of the city is the closest temple to the city.

The name of Shuying Temple comes from the scenery of a thousand-year-old tree in the temple. Every summer, the ancient branches are luxuriant, the birds fly and the warbler sings, the gentle warm wind blows, the sparse shadow will be cascading and swimming, the leaf shadow becomes a posture, just like the goldfish in the water, the dragon in the clouds, the end is overflowing with aura, and it is extremely beautiful.

In addition to the excellent scenery, the Buddha, Bodhisattva, Arhat enshrined in the temple, large and small, there are hundreds of them, among which Guanyin, Manjushri is the most effective, so the city believes in men and women, and falls in love with this temple to burn incense and worship the Buddha, make a wish and pray for blessings.

Governor Zhang's entourage arrived at the gate of the Shuying Temple in half an hour.

When I got off the sedan chair, the official had already opened the way and was waiting in front.

The four of them entered the Shuying Temple.

I saw that in the temple, the incense was bursting, the shadows were heavy, and the sound of jingling bells was endless.

"Miss Shen." Yang Zhutou asked, "Where is the maid you are talking about?" ”

Shen Shu said: "Can you find the host of this temple to inquire about the situation?" ”

Governor Zhang nodded and said, "This is natural." And he commanded the servants.

After a while, an old monk in a robe came over.

When he saw Governor Zhang, he folded his hands and said: "Amitabha, I don't know if it is Governor Zhang's arrival, and I am not welcomed." ”

"It doesn't matter." Governor Zhang said: "It's just that there is an investigation of the case, and you need to host and help." ”

"If there is anything you need help with, Governor Zhang said it doesn't matter." That presided.

"Miss Shen, if you want to ask, just ask." Governor Zhang said to Shen Shu.

Shen Shu nodded and asked, "I want to ask the host, how many places in this temple have curved sheep intestine paths, and they are often foggy?" ”

The host thought about it for a while, and then said: "There are a few places in this sheep intestine path, but if you want to say that it is often foggy, there is only one. ”

"Where? Can you show us around? Shen Shu asked.

The host showed embarrassment on his face.

"What's so difficult about hosting? Tell us about it. Seeing this, Governor Zhang said.

"It's a forbidden place in the temple, and no one can enter it except for the previous hosts."

Governor Zhang was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I understand what the host said, but if it is an ordinary thing, I will do it." But this time it is for the purpose of investigating the case, and I also ask the host to make it convenient. ”

When Governor Zhang said this, he also gave the host face, and if he wanted to say that in order to investigate the case, he forcibly entered the forbidden place, and the host couldn't say anything. There is a way that the first salute and then the soldiers, this Governor Zhang still knows.

The host knew that if he didn't agree, Governor Zhang and his entourage would not stop. So he sighed and said, "Then let the old man go." ”

The group followed behind the host and walked towards the temple.

After the Daxiong Treasure Hall, the Tibetan Scripture Building, and through a bamboo forest full of shadows, you will arrive at a wooden gate.

The wooden door was extremely high, and a brass lock was hung on it, and on the lock, the rust was mottled and moss scars were suddenly born, and it was obvious that it was not opened often.

The host groped for a long time, and then took out a copper spoon and slowly opened the copper lock.

With a "click", the lock opened.

The host pushed open the door, only to hear a "squeak", and the wooden door slowly opened.

A cool breeze blew in the face, and everyone only felt that the wind was cool, and the heat in their hearts was eliminated in an instant, as if this wind could relieve the fire in their hearts.

Looking ahead, there is a mist, and in the mist, I see a winding sheep intestine path looming, leading to the distance.

"This is it." The host said calmly.

"The maid, right here?" Governor Zhang turned around and asked Shen Shu.

Shen Shu listened to the scene described by Yu'er beside her, which was exactly what she saw in her mind, so she nodded.

"Go in and have a look." Governor Zhang ordered the officials next to him to go in and check.

Although the wind here is cool, this dense scenery gives people an unfathomable sense of weirdness and mystery for no reason.

For a while, there was no one to move from the officials around him.

"What, I can't do it again?" Governor Zhang said angrily.

Then the official was bold and stepped into the door.

Walking into the wooden door and walking on the foggy road, I still have that very unsteady feeling in my heart. Just halfway through, a woman's crying voice suddenly sounded in my ears.

"There's a female ghost!" The officials screamed and crawled back to the wooden door.

"What a female ghost! In the temple, how can there be a female ghost! One by one, why are you so daring! Governor Zhang didn't hear the woman's crying, and when he saw the official running back in a panic, he only scolded: "It's really embarrassing and conspicuous, I raised you in vain!" ”

After saying that, Governor Zhang walked towards the sheep intestine path: "Rely on you, it is better for me to come in and check it out by myself." ”

Naturally, you can also take a look at what the forbidden place in this temple looks like.

"Be careful, my lord, I'd better go in and check!" Yang Zhutou shouted and stepped in.

Governor Zhang did not stop.

It's just a foggy road, what's so scary? I really don't know how those people can be so timid?

When I walked halfway, I saw that my whole body was full of fog, and I couldn't see the path before and after me clearly.

Governor Zhang's heart slowly panicked.

What to do? Get back? Or do you move on?

He was hesitating, but he heard a woman crying.

Is there really a female ghost? Governor Zhang was shocked, and also let out a scream, before the scream fell, a woman's face appeared in front of him, he was knocked to the ground with a "bang", his eyes rolled, and he fainted.
