Chapter 121: Haunted Mountain Temple
"Thank you, boss, I'll go first!" Lu Hanyang looked at the three thatched huts behind the old man, which were quite neat, such houses were rare in this area.
"It seems that these people are just barely able to survive, and they are still far from it! But it can't be helped, you need to slowly increase productivity, and then save up little by little. Lu Hanyang left, and then headed towards the majestic mountains to the south.
There are also many people in this mountain forest, these are the people who fled before, and now they are called mountain people. Although the imperial court issued a lot of decrees, let the mountain people go out of the mountain, and then register their household registration.
But it didn't work well, because these people were really scared, they went through the war, rolled on the edge of death, and went into the mountains to escape with their lives. He rarely even goes out of the mountains, and he knows very little about the information outside the mountains.
So they were afraid, afraid that this was a cover of the imperial court, let them go out of the mountain, and then catch them as fugitive slaves. It's not for nothing, before the former Sui Dynasty, during the Northern Zhou New Year, the people who fled into the mountains were finally beaten into pariahs.
Without saying anything all the way, Lu Hanyang traveled to many Zhuangzi around Chang'an, some of them were from the noble family, such families were more prosperous, because their lords were not harsh on the tenants, after all, they were all nobles, and there were other ways to support the family.
And those tenants who farmed the land for the landlord's family were much worse, most of them had difficulty getting enough to eat, and many were even ready to flee the famine. This is what happens in every disaster year in this era.
The young man left the old and weak at home, left all the food at home, and then went to the state and county where there was food outside. But the result is that the old and weak who stayed behind starved to death after eating the food, and most of the young and strong people who ran away died on the way.
Lu Hanyang is not a saint, so he can't manage so much, but he still manages a lot when he sees it, and along the way, he asks for food from large families to help these people. After those big families saw that it was Lu Hanyang, the posture of the pure yang immortals, they all willingly took out the grain.
On this day, Lu Hanyang arrived at a Zhuangzi, which was very close to Zhongnan Mountain, heard a strange thing, and after exploring it, he went towards the mountains and forests.
The roads in the mountains and forests are difficult to navigate, and there are basically only a few wilderness trails, and few people take them. Lu Hanyang walked leisurely in it, holding a whisk in his hand and combing his hair, as if he was walking in the green.
"This Dao Leader, don't go any further, you won't be able to turn back!" Lu Hanyang walked to the depths of the mountains and forests, and when he really wanted to continue deeper, a rough voice stopped him.
"Why? Could it be that there is still a tiger's den in Longtan ahead? Lu Hanyang stopped, turned around and saw a tall hunter, carrying a large bag of goods at this time, growing at the intersection in the other direction.
"Dao Chief, there is a mountain temple in front of you, but it has been abandoned all these years, and no one dares to go there! None of the people who went came back. Orion stopped Lu Hanyang and said.
"What? The people who went to the mountain temple did not come back? Is there any strongman bandit who can't do it? Lu Hanyang asked in surprise.
"Dao Chief, if it is a strongman bandit, we are not afraid, after all, we are also people, but there are ghosts and gods in that mountain temple. The people who went there all died in an unknown way, and it was not a place where ordinary people could go. Listen to my advice, let's go this way! Orion said.
"What a ghost, just pretending to be a ghost! Let me meet them! "Lu Hanyang is not afraid, what is he afraid of, there are ghosts in the mountain temple, it is completely nonsense.
"Dao Chief...... Don't believe it, do you know that many people have been killed by the demons and gods, hacked to death by sharp axes, entangled in the roots of big trees, drowned in water, burned to fire, and stoned by boulders on mountain cliffs. ”
Orion's words made Lu Hanyang feel that there must be something strange in it, so he had to find out the truth, is there really a ghost or god in such a mountain temple? Obviously it is absolutely impossible, and even if there is him, he is not afraid.
"That's what you said, and I haven't seen it, so I have to go and see it, otherwise I won't believe it." Lu Hanyang said, and then walked directly towards the mountains and forests.
"Alas...... Why bother, if you don't listen to persuasion, you lose your life in vain! Orion shook his head, then turned and went in the other direction.
Moving forward, Lu Hanyang walked for about five miles, and then saw a mountain temple standing in a blank of snow, this is a down-and-out mountain temple, but it is not covered with snow like the trees in the mountain forest.
The mountain temple is also a little on the roof, and the stone steps in front of the temple and the courtyard are all clean, and the snow seems to have been cleared.
"Sure enough, it's someone doing the trick! I want to see what is going on, and are there still people in this era who do not respect ghosts and gods? Lu Hanyang was very curious about the ghost people in the mountain temple.
After all, the people of this era have a very great awe for the gods and gods, and the people who do such things obviously have no reverence for the gods and Buddhas, and there are very few such people.
But most of these people are those high-ranking and powerful people above the court, and they know a lot, of course, they know that most of these ghosts and gods are created by those monks and Taoists.
Suddenly, one appeared in this mountain temple, so there was definitely a very unknown possibility, and Lu Hanyang felt that there would be some other stories in it.
Anyway, it's idle to beat children on rainy days, so this mountain temple aroused his curiosity, and then see how these people killed people, and also killed people in the order of the five elements.
And such a murderous guy is absolutely intolerable, no matter who the other party is, Lu Hanyang is ready to eradicate them.
The reason why Lu Hanyang had such murderous intentions was mainly because he had inquired in Zhuangzi outside the mountain, and several people had died in this mountain temple, all of whom had come to take shelter from the rain or pray to God. Most of them are hunters in the mountains, such people who harm the people, Lu Hanyang can't tolerate them.
And in order to find out the real situation, he even used a true talisman on an old farmer who swore by him, and as a result, this old farmer said all the truth, so that Lu Hanyang was sure that these people here were murderous people.
Therefore, Lu Hanyang, who came directly towards this mountain temple, was ready to raze this place to the ground and completely exterminate all these people inside.
And meeting such a capable hunter on the way made Lu Hanyang sneer even more in his heart: I didn't expect this mountain temple to actually put the secret post five miles away, obviously the thieves in this mountain temple are not small, and they know the military formation.
