Chapter 46: Fierce Ghosts
"No, you don't have to jump, I'll jump!" Murong Wan'er said.
"You jump, I jump too!" Zhang Gongjing said.
The mountain breeze blew away Murong Wan'er's long hair, even though she knew that the other party might be a benign deception, she smiled with satisfaction, and while Zhang Gongjing was not paying attention, she jumped down.
"You...... Wan'er! Wan'er! ”
Zhang Gongjing pulled hard, but only pulled a white ribbon.
Long ribbons fluttered around the mountain stream, and at the same time there were traces of hair scattered, and only the soulless scholar was left on the top of the cliff.
At the last moment, Zhang Gongjing did not jump, in the face of the abyss, he was timid, and when he made up his mind to die, the soldiers rushing up from the mountain held him down.
"Don't be impulsive!"
"It's just a woman, a merchant country, where there are no women!"
"Lord Zhang, why lose your fame for a woman."
Zhang Gongjing glanced at the cliff in despair and fainted.
Another scene ends.
Twenty years later.
Two travelers passed by.
"Brother, there is no family around, why would someone build an unknown temple on this mountain?"
"Friend, you don't know. It is said that he voluntarily gave up fame and fortune and lived alone in the mountains. ”
"Brick by brick, really?"
"Of course!"
"Why is this person so crazy, I'm afraid it will take half his life to build this temple."
"I don't know, it is said that he did it for a princess of the former dynasty."
"The princess of the former dynasty? Why don't we go to the temple and have a look? ”
"Good!"
Inside the temple.
Zhang Gongjing is no longer the scholar he used to be, his temples are white, his complexion is yellow, and his body is full of dead silence.
When the two travelers arrived, he sat in front of the Buddha hall and quietly knocked on the wooden fish.
"Sir, our brothers are passing through here and want to ask for a sip of water!"
Zhang Gongjing didn't speak, just stretched out his hand and pointed back, and there was a gurgling sound of running water in the back of the temple, and the two travelers hurriedly walked towards the back mountain.
A mountain spring next to the back mountain falls from the top of the mountain, crystal clear, so beautiful. The two of them picked up the spring water and took a sip, sweet, so sweet! Look at the surroundings again, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the scenery is charming, compared to the troubled times outside, it is simply a holy place in the world!
The two glanced at each other, and a vicious desire inevitably rose in their hearts.
"He's the only one here?"
"He's the only one!" Another person said: "Twenty years ago, he was still a doctor of Taixue in Shangguo!" ”
"How big is Dr. Taixue?"
"I don't know how big an official is, but the officials of the Shang Kingdom are definitely rich!"
"He has so much money, he definitely won't need it, or our brother will do a good job and help him use it!"
"Yes, we are doing a good deed, it's not good to let the copper coin get moldy!"
As they spoke, the two quietly glanced at each other, already understanding each other's thoughts.
After drinking water, the two came to the front hall of the temple, silently, and stared at Zhang Zhongjing coldly.
"Both, you've already drunk the water, why don't you leave!"
"Old man, this temple is so big, it's not interesting for you to live here alone, why don't you take some money out and let the brothers help you spend the flowers?"
"Yes, the money is rotten anyway, so it's better for us to use it!"
Zhang Gongjing sneered and said, "It seems that the two of them want to rebel against the guest and kill them for money, right?" ”
"Don't talk nonsense, give money or don't give it!"
"Brother, don't talk to him too much, just such a dry old man, I don't believe the two of us can't cure him!"
In the temple, Zhang Gongjing slowly stood up, and when he turned his head, he was so calm.
"See that sarcophagus?" Zhang Gongjing pointed to the inner hall, where there was a sarcophagus, and there was a stone statue standing next to the sarcophagus, which looked like Murong Wan'er, the princess of the previous dynasty, and the surface of the stone statue was extremely smooth, and someone should have carefully wiped it.
"When I die, stuff me in that coffin, and bury the coffin under the stone statue, and if I can do it, I'll tell you where the money is hidden!" Zhang Gongjing said.
"You...... You are crazy! The traveler shouted, "We want your money and your life, and the devil will do things for you!" ”
"If you can't do it, then please get out of here as soon as possible!" Zhang Gongjing said.
"Leave, brother, he told us to leave!" One turned to look at the other.
"Can't go!" Another person shouted: "He is Zhang Gongjing, he knows what we look like, he will definitely report to the official after we leave, we will simply ......"
When the two were talking, Zhang Gongjing had already taken the initiative to walk to the back room, he touched the sarcophagus completely, then pushed open the lid of the coffin and lay down.
"There is a sword in the front hall, stick the sword in my heart, remember to bury the sarcophagus under the stone statue when you leave, I will wait for you to do it!!" Zhang Gongjing said.
The two travelers looked at the sarcophagus, then at the stone statue, and when they saw Zhang Gongjing dying in the coffin lid, they were so frightened that they screamed 'ah' and ran out frantically.
In the troubled times, they have seen too many people who are about to die, but they are just like Zhang Gongjing calmly begging others to kill them, and they have never seen any of them!
"Crazy, why should he pull us up if he wants to die!"
"Crazy, I think he's been locked up here for too long, completely crazy!"
At this time, it was already dark, and it was impossible to descend the mountain, so the two travelers could only return to the nameless temple.
In front of the temple, Zhang Gongjing has disappeared, only the sarcophagus in the inner hall is still there, the two of them pressed their curiosity, lit a fire candle and approached the sarcophagus, and when they saw the appearance of the people inside, they couldn't help screaming, and then the two were shrouded in blood and fell down......
Another scene is over.
A hundred years later.
An old and a young monk passed through here.
"Master, why is this mountain called Tianmu Mountain?"
"This mountain is as high as a hundred zhang, covering the sky like a canopy, so it is naturally called Tianmu Mountain!"
"But why is it called Tianmu Cliff over there? These two 'mu' words don't mean the same thing? ”
"Tianmu Cliff? You said we arrived at Tianmu Cliff! The old monk said in horror: "Tianmu Tianmu, that is, the eyes of Tianmu Mountain, there is an ancient temple on Tianmu Cliff, the ghosts and monsters in it are too fierce, all blame me for my old eyes and dimness and go the wrong way, let's hurry up!" ”
"Master, didn't you say that a monk should subdue demons and subdue demons, and purify all sentient beings, no matter how fierce the ghosts are, how can they defeat Master?"
"Stupid!" The old monk said: "This place is full of resentment, where is your master able to deal with, do you know who is buried?" ”
"Who?"
"Former Dynasty Taixue Doctor Zhang Gongjing!" The old monk said: "Zhang Gongjing took the princess of the dead country to pass through here, and they were both ready to jump off the cliff to martyrdom, but the princess jumped off, and Zhang Gongjing did not jump off. The king of Shang did not need a subordinate who robbed his woman and did not have the courage to jump off the cliff, so he punished Zhang Gongjing for repairing here for ten years. On the last day of ten years later, the king of Shang executed Zhang Gongjing, buried him in a sarcophagus, and smashed the stone statues in the temple, so that the two could not be together!
In the following years, some people have been hearing ghosts and monsters in the ancient temple, and they are particularly fierce at night. There are also woodcutters passing by, and they see Zhang Gongjing, who has no bloodless face, turned into a ghost, and comes out to suck people's blood at night! It is estimated that this public scene has been cultivated into a ghost king, and the mana is strong, and it is still early, so we have to leave quickly! ”
"You two, since you're here, why don't you come in and sit down?"
A distant voice came from the temple, and the cutscene gradually dispersed at this time, and the surrounding area returned to the appearance of night, and under the moonlight, the gate of the ancient temple appeared in front of everyone.
