Chapter 16: It Was You
Reading Pavilion 『 』, the full text is free to read. Huzi was scouting ahead, and we were thirty meters behind him.
After passing through the woods, I saw a natural mountain nest a hundred meters away, and there was a simple and stable temple here.
The Taoist temple is not large, and the two pillars at the entrance of the Taoist temple have a couplet written on them.
Shanglian: One life, two, two, three and three give birth to all things;
Downlink: Earth Law, Heavenly Law, Tao Law, and Nature.
Directly above the gate of the temple there are three big characters, Impermanence Pavilion.
In front of this temple there is a small courtyard in which cucumbers, beans, tomatoes and baby cabbage are grown. The cucumbers and cabbage are ready to eat, and the tomatoes and beans will take a while.
Huzi muttered, "Old Chen, this is a ghost temple!" ”
I said, "Let's go, go in and have a look." ”
We entered the gate and saw the main hall. There is also a pair in front of the temple gate:
Shanglian: There are three in the yang world, and it is up to you to accumulate good and evil;
Downlink: Throughout the ages, who has been let go of the underworld.
Approval: You're here.
There is also a plaque on the approval top, the Hall of Impermanence.
Entering the Hall of Impermanence, facing us were two statues of gods, the size of a real person, standing side by side on a high platform.
Bai Wuchang wears an official hat from the underworld, a beard hanging down his chest, a white face, a white robe, and four black characters written on the official hat: See wealth in your life.
Hei Wuchang also wears an official hat from the underworld, a beard hanging down his chest, a black face, a black robe, and four white characters written on the official hat: The world is peaceful.
The clothes and hats are all real clothes and hats, and when the wind blows, the clothes will flutter.
On either side of the two idols, standing or kneeling a group of imps, all of whom have the same feature, are armed with instruments of torture. The imp is only half the size of a normal person, more like a group of monkeys.
Looking at the material of these statues, it should be wooden, colored, and lifelike.
There are murals painted on the four walls of this hall of impermanence, and most of these murals show the content of ghosts and spirits.
Not only are there murals on the walls, but even on the roof, which shows the little ghosts hanging on the roof and watching us.
Under the statue of impermanence there is an incense table, and there is an incense burner on the incense table, and there is incense burning in the incense burner.
It is clear that there were people here not so long ago. But right now, people are not here.
Huzi whispered: "Lao Chen, your temple is weird. ”
I said, "People should be behind." ”
The four of us walked around the idol, and the back door was directly behind the idol.
There is an old locust tree in this backyard, the flowers are blooming brightly at this time, the fragrance is fragrant, and the bunches of locust flowers are dense, making this big tree look like a cloud, a ball of cotton.
Locust trees can't be planted in the yard, but this ghost temple is different. If you can attract some ghosts, it will make this place more harmonious.
On the east side there was a chamber with firewood piled up in it. Next to the firewood room is the kitchen and dining room.
On the west side, there is a warehouse, which is supposed to store daily necessities such as grain and oil.
Behind the big locust tree is the main house, Huzi smiled at this time and said: "As the saying goes, if you can run, a monk can't run to the temple, where else can you run now?" ”
As he spoke, Huzi directly took out the saw in his hand and rushed forward. When I got to the door, I found it locked. Huzi turned around and said loudly: "Lao Chen, there is no one at home." What to do? ”
I said, "Let's stop her at night and get out of here first." ”
Huzi said, "Do you want to go in and have a look?" ”
I said, "This woman is very slippery, and if you don't block her, it's hard to catch her." We weren't familiar with the terrain here, and we didn't have a chance as long as she got into the mountains. ”
Huzi said: "We can lie in ambush around. ”
I said, "She has monkeys, and monkeys are more difficult to deal with than dogs, and if they find out, we will fall short." Withdraw now, don't leave any traces, and come and block her directly at night. Plug her directly into the bed and see how she runs. ”
The four of us quickly withdrew from the Pavilion of Impermanence and returned the way we came, down the river, back to our station.
I told the Corpse Shadow about the situation, and the Corpse Shadow said, "Let's go together at night, I don't believe that eight people can't catch one of her." ”
I shook my head and said, "Someone has to stay, and my biggest fear is that this woman will set fire to all our belongings." ”
Xu Hui said: "We can bring our belongings!" ”
I said, "That's too bulky." ”
Xu Hui was about to say something, but the corpse shadow interrupted and said, "Xu Hui, let's listen to Chen Yuan." ”
I have a feeling that Corpse and Xu Hui seem to have formed some kind of alliance, and a subtle chasm has emerged between them and me.
Actually, I really don't care, I don't plan to please anyone, I just take money to do things. Do what you want, this woman is not easy to catch, she must be attacked suddenly. If she finds out, let alone eight people, even if it is eighty or even eight hundred, she may not be able to catch it.
Behind that ghost temple is the woods, and as long as she enters the woods, she will be as free as a monkey, and there is nothing we can do with her. So, eight people, four people, or even two people, doesn't make any sense. The most important thing is to block her in the house, as long as she is blocked in the house, even I can catch her alone.
The corpse shadow didn't communicate with me that day, and after dark, I discussed it with Huzi and asked Yuwanwan and Lu Xueman to stay, Yuwanwan and Lu Xueman actually wanted to go with us. The two of them seem to be quiet and quiet, but they actually have an uninhibited heart.
But this is not a game, if I go with Huzi, it will be more efficient, and it doesn't really do much to take them with you. The target is doubled in size and is easily exposed.
Although they were reluctant, they stayed.
When Huzi and I walked up, we didn't dare to turn on the flashlight, and we walked forward by the moonlight.
When I arrived in the woods in front of the Ghost Temple, I covered the electronic watch with my hand and pressed the light on the electronic watch to see the time, it was half past ten in the evening. I said, "Wait, let's do it in the middle of the night." ”
Huzi nodded, and then whispered, "Lao Chen, look, the backyard is lit." I'm supposed to be at home now, and I haven't slept yet. ”
I said, "Just wait, this woman is too slippery, like a loach." ”
While Huzi and I were waiting, we heard movement outside the forest. Huzi and I were stunned for a moment, but then, we heard Lu Xueman's voice: "It's here, it's here." ”
As soon as I heard it, I knew that this group of losers was coming.
Huzi and I quickly went out and stopped them. It's a good look, and everyone is here.
At this time, it was useless to be angry, so they could only bring the group into the forest and let everyone lie on the ground.
Huzi said, "Why are you all here?" Didn't you just say okay, let's just come? ”
The corpse said, "I asked them to bring me here, and I don't worry about you." ”
I said, "It's not that you don't worry about me and Huzi, it's that you want to see what we're doing." Now that you've seen it, can you rest assured? ”
Huzi said: "Why are you so disobedient, are you Americans/Chinese people so free and loose?" ”
I said, "Now the man is in the backyard, and you can see the big locust tree in the yard, and there is a light on it, which proves that the man has not slept." So wait. ”
The corpse figure said: "Just go in and arrest people directly, why wait?" There are so many of us, can she still run away? ”
I said, "She has a monkey and will call her to the police." We had to wait for her to lie in the bed, and then we went in with lightning speed and blocked her inside. ”
Xu Hui whispered: "Then let's wait patiently for her to sleep!" ”
I turned my body over, lay on the ground and looked at it and said, "Lie down for a while, I guess it will be after midnight at least." ”
Here I closed my eyes and recuperated, and the women stared intently at the ghost temple.
When I was squinting in a daze, the corpse suddenly whispered, "Chen Yuan, look at it." The temple is lit up. ”
I don't think so, there are lights on in this hall of impermanence, and there is a faint noise.
Huzi said: "Lao Chen, it's not one person, it's a group of people!" That's not going to be easy. "High-quality and free reading is in the Reading Pavilion."
