Chapter 39: The Broken Temple

At noon the next day, I reluctantly got up, washed up, and went to the fat man's room to wake him up. Then I went downstairs to have a lunch, and then packed one for the fat man and went upstairs.

After going upstairs, I took out my ancestral "Maoshan Taoism" from my bag and looked at it. At this time, Reiko floated out of nowhere and said, "Can I go with you at night?"

Before I could speak, the fat man who was eating replied, "Of course you can, and it doesn't matter." ”

I put down the book, lit a cigarette, and said, "Yes, you're a ghost, so maybe you can help." ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" the fat man said again.

"Yes, yes, eat, eat all the guys, or take your little fist and hammer that female ghost's chest at night? Besides, that female ghost doesn't even have a body, you hammer a hammer." I scolded angrily.

The fat man was still unconvinced after hearing this, and said: "Fat man, I don't use yellow fu, Lao Tzu is a real kung fu, so I don't need to prepare anything." ”

Before he had finished speaking, I got up and walked to my room, ignoring him, and locked the door when I entered the room, and shut myself in the door to concentrate on drawing yellow talismans.

I don't know how long I was drawing, until a knock on the door interrupted me, and I saw that it was already past 6 o'clock. Sweating profusely, I immediately put away the yellow talisman I had drawn, and put all the other tools I needed into my bag.

I walked out of the room with my things and found that Zhou Zhi and Li Pingtong were already sitting on the customer's sofa waiting. And the fat man also sat next to him and played with his phone. When Zhou Zhi saw me come out, he immediately sent me a cigarette, and then sent one to the fat man and Li Pingtong, and said, "Mr. Xiao has finished preparing things, when can we leave?"

I lit a cigarette, sat down on the couch and said, "I'll leave when I'm done with this cigarette." ”

Zhou Zhi nodded, and then kept staring at the cigarette in my hand, and his eyes seemed to think that it was best for me to finish this cigarette in three puffs, or he regretted sending this cigarette to me.

In less than three minutes, I got so tired of his staring that I extinguished a third of the cigarette butt that was left. He stood up and said, "Let's go." ”

The fat man listened to me, went into the room, got something, and walked out. The four of them walked out of the door, and I suddenly stopped in the corridor and said to the floor, "By the way, Reiko, let's go, take you to play." ”

Reiko floated out happily, nodded with a smile on her pale face, and said, "Hmm!"

Zhou Zhi and Li Pingtong on the side looked confused, and Zhou Zhi asked the fat man in a low voice: "Who is Mr. Xiao talking to?"

"With the ghost," the fat man replied faintly.

Zhou Zhi laughed a few times after hearing this, and said, "Mr. Wang, don't be joking, it's not dark yet, where the ghost came from?"

"Don't you believe me?" said the fat man, biting his finger and reciting a mantra, fiddling with various gestures in his hand, then dotting blood between their brows. He said, "All right, you're looking..."

The two of them first looked at each other, then hesitated for a few seconds before looking in my direction, and the moment they saw Reiko, they both shouted almost at the same time: "Ghost!"

Shouting as he squeezed behind the fat man, leaving only half of his head to stare at Reiko. Seeing this, I also watched Reiko stare at it for a while, and scolded the two of them: "You are all afraid of such a cute ghost, so you still have to pee when you see that bodyless ghost?" Okay, don't make trouble, it's time to go." ”

......

Hop in the car, a group of 4 people and a ghost came to the broken temple that Zhou Zhi said, at this time the sky was completely dark, and the night covered the whole city.

"Let's go, lead the way ahead..."I pointed to the temple gate and said to Zhou Zhi and Li Pingtong.

Although the two of them nodded their heads in response, neither of them took a step forward, and I saw their fear, and did not want to embarrass them, so I said, "Forget it, you two find a place to hide, and if we don't come out before dawn, you can go back and settle your destiny." ”

Before I could finish speaking, the two of them had already run more than ten meters away, ran to the bottom of the tree and squatted to hide. I looked at them like this, smiled wryly and shook my head.

At this time, the fat man had already slapped open the temple door with one palm and walked in. Reiko and I were naturally not far behind, and went in after the fat man.

After walking in, I took out a lighter and lit a candle, and the candlelight illuminated the entire ruined temple. remembered what Zhou Zhi said about the bloodstains he saw behind the shrine, so he went around to the back, and sure enough, there was a pile of dried blood on the ground.

I squatted down and looked at the ground around the bloodstain for a few minutes, and then said to the fat man, "Fatty, there are six other candles on the altar just now, and you light them all." ”

I stood up, took two steps back, lit a cigarette, and watched as the fat man lit all the candles one by one, in order. The fat man looked at me after lighting the candle and asked, "And then?"

"Then they were arranged on the altar in the shape of the Big Dipper. I said, staring at the candle on the stage.

The fat man fiddled neatly when he heard this, and when he put on the last candle, the whole ground suddenly shook, and the time lasted for about 10 seconds before stopping below.

At this time, the ground behind the shrine was like a sluice gate, and a hole was opened from the ground, and inside the hole was a staircase leading to the underground. I looked at the hole and said, "Actually, Lao Tzu guessed right, no, hurry up and call me to bet on the lottery, and I will win." ”

"Stop fucking bragging, tell me how you know. The fat man scolded angrily.

"Come and see...", I pointed to the pattern on the wall behind the shrine: "You see if there is a pattern of the Big Dipper here, and I thought that there were 7 candles when I lit it just now, so I asked you to try it." ”

"You kid, you're awesome. The fat man said with a finger cocked up at me.

"Don't be in a hurry to boast yet, let's take a look down there," I said, waving my hand and pointing to the hole in the ground.

As I spoke, I took out my phone and turned on the flash and walked down first, and the fat man and Reiko also followed closely behind me, I don't know if I was afraid that I would get lost or that the two of them would get lost by themselves.

A few steps down the stairs when I smelled a foul odor coming over my face. At this point, I had already thought of something, but I was not sure, or I couldn't believe it.

A few people walked quickly to the ground in three or five steps, and the scene in front of me made me confirm my thoughts. The entire basement was littered with corpses that were both rotting and not decomposing, crawling with a dense mass of maggots, eating their eyes, noses, mouths, and entrails......

And in the depths of the corpse pile, there is a cauldron that contains something that I don't need to mention... Right... The blood of this corpse was boiling inside.

"It's a hundred women's blood beads again!" I scolded.

At this time, Reiko's eyes were filled with anger or sadness. And I just touched her head and didn't speak, or I didn't know what I could say.

And at this time, the fat man was covering his nose and scolding the street: "What is this thing, this smell... It's authentic. ”

"Why are you again, little Taoist priest......" At this moment, a ghostly voice came from the darkness.
