There was a knock on the door, but there was no response from the house. With a push of his hand, the door opened on its own, and the inside was not locked at all. When I went into the house, I saw that the furniture was very basic, with only a bed, a table, and a chair. However, the house was full of debris, leaving only one aisle to pass through.

"Boy, who are you?" At this time, the old rich man came back from outside, and saw my fresh face appear in his house, which was a little strange.

I hurriedly introduced myself with a smile: "Uncle, I am from outside, and I want to ask you for advice on some things, uncle." ”

The old rich man walked in, carrying a stick of beer and a bag of spiced peanuts. It was not yet noon, he bought wine and prepared to drink, and at first glance he looked like a wine Mengzi. He glanced at me and said, "You want to ask about the Mountain Ghost Temple?" "It seems that he noticed me when I was just outside. It's the same, they all live in the same village, and they don't look up and see each other, and outsiders come and don't notice it right away?

"Yes." I nodded.

"You're also a family member of those archaeologists in the mountains?"

"Yes!"

The old rich man put the things on the table, opened the bag of peanuts and untied them, took out two grains and put them in his mouth, and said: "I saw those archaeologists when I went up the mountain, and I kindly reminded them not to go to the mountain ghost shrine, but they just didn't listen...... As a result, all the people are gone. He shook his head and sighed. Soon, he looked up at me again: "I advise you not to believe what Monkey Six said......"

"Monkey Six?"

"It's the thin man in his forties who is talking to you. What he said was all nonsense. Why did two families go up to the mountain ghost shrine to beg for worship, and the two families only came back halfway up the mountain...... You guys, you're still waiting for news in the hotel, and the police will give you an explanation. With that, he rattled and chewed on the peanuts again.

At this time, he picked up the wine driver on the table and wanted to open the beer, I took a step forward and put the Daqu wine on the table, and said with a smile: "Uncle, you try this, this is strong!" "As I expected, the old rich man's eyes lit up when he saw these two bottles of wine. He didn't be polite to me, he directly unscrewed a bottle, poured a large glass, and then raised his neck and swallowed half a cup: "Hiss~ This wine is really fucking good!" He rubbed the peanuts in his hand and asked me without raising his head: "Eat other people's soft mouths!" Say, what is there to know? ”

"Uncle, I just want to know about the Mountain Ghost Temple, can you tell me what you know?" I looked at the old rich man solemnly and said.

The old rich man picked up his glass again, but this time he didn't take a big sip, but took a sip slightly, I knew that this was his preface, and the text was about to begin.

"Feather Dengxian Immortal Immortal Mansion, there is a ghost shrine in the Ghost Temple!" The old rich man whispered, "The current descendants may not have heard these two sentences. ”

"Immortal Mansion? Mountain Ghost Temple? I whispered about these two places.

"These are our two legends here, in addition to the mountain ghost shrine, there is also an immortal mansion. It is rumored that there is a fairy cave hidden in our Yongxian Mountain, which contains the immortal method of immortals. As long as someone finds the Immortal Mansion, they will become immortals. On the contrary, the mountain ghost shrine will become a lonely ghost and a wild ghost, accompanying the mountain ghost, and will never be reincarnated. The old man said, "But the legend that Monkey Six told you is not wrong. ”

"Monkey ...... The eldest brother said that these legends are just stories handed down by the older generation, and in fact, there are no mountain ghosts at all, isn't that so? I asked.

"Phew!" The old rich man spat heavily, "No one has seen it, but there is no more?" Lao Tzu has never seen a rocket in his life, is there no such thing as a rocket in the world? Net! After a glass of wine, the old rich man talked more.

"You haven't seen rockets, but after all, some people have seen them, but the mountain ghost...... All that remains are legends and mountain ghost shrines, but these can't prove its existence? ”

"Who's to say you can't prove it?" The old rich man was a little annoyed, took off his shirt and went bare-chested.

"Look at it!" The old rich man pointed to a scar on his back and said, "This is the proof!" I gasped and saw that the scar had taken over almost the entire back of his back. The fact that the wound now looks so horrific shows how serious it was at the time, and it is a miracle that he was able to survive such an injury.

"This wound is ......"

The old rich man sighed and said, "That was more than 30 years ago, I went to the Mountain Ghost Temple once more than 30 years ago, and that was the first and last time I went......"

It turned out that the old rich man's original name was Fu Mantang, and his family had been farmers for generations. There are two older brothers in the family above him, the eldest brother is named Fu Manwu, and the second brother is named Fu Manyuan. In the 80s, many people found a new way to get rich, and although the old rich man and his brother did not find any new way, they found a crooked way.

At that time, due to the rapid development of the local area, a large quantity of timber was needed, so the old rich man and his brother started a timber business. They cut down indiscriminately in the unguarded forests of the mountains and then sell the wood they had chopped down. In the first two years, they did make a lot of money, and the old rich men became the first people in the village to get rich. However, as the supply of timber increased, the timber business became less profitable. They heard that the yield of precious wood was much higher than that of ordinary wood, so they turned their attention to precious wood. They inquired that there was a very precious timber silver fir in their hometown of Yongxian Mountain, but no one dared to go to the place where this silver fir grows, because it was a place where the local people talked about the color change - the mountain ghost temple. But the word is in charge, where can the three brothers manage so much, even if no one is willing to help, the three of them still went to the mountain ghost shrine on their own.

When they went up the mountain, they realized that it was really worth the trip. The vicinity of the Mountain Ghost Temple is simply a treasure land, and there are spruce trees that are more than 100 years old everywhere, and any one of them can be sold for a good price. The three of them took root at the mountain ghost shrine, and cut down a lot of spruce trees that day. They cut down trees during the day, and at night they lived in the mountain ghost shrine to shelter from the wind and rain, and they also had to find a place to stay.

Fu Mantang has listened to the legends of mountain ghosts told by the elders of the village since he was a child, but he has never seen the appearance of mountain ghosts, this is the first time he has gone up to the mountain ghost shrine, and it is also the first time he has seen the statue of mountain ghosts.

At night, the three of them lit a bonfire at the Mountain Ghost Temple, and fell asleep by the fire after dinner. In the middle of the night, Fu Mantang seemed to hear some strange sounds in his sleep, and he sat up to find that the gate of the Mountain Ghost Temple was wide open, and his eldest brother Fu Manwu was gone.

"Got up at night and went to the hut?" Fu Mantang muttered, "In the middle of the night, isn't it over if you solve it on the side, why are you going out?" He was about to lie down, and suddenly a thought turned in his heart, before going to bed, his eldest brother was in the ancestral hall to relieve himself, why did he sleep soundly in the middle of the night but wanted to go out, could he be confused?
