Chapter 96: Message on the Mural
Zhao Hangyu scratched the back of his head and said, "A few of us have important things to do, so it's really inconvenient to send each other off." But ............."
Saying this, his right hand was hidden behind his back, and two golden "teleportation talismans" were derived, causing the two to turn around.
The young men and women did what he wanted, and Zhao Hangyu put the spirit talisman on the backs of the two.
Suddenly, the two of them screamed and rocketed into the air. After a while, I was home safely. The two looked at each other for a while, and couldn't help but pray to the heavens, saying that they were grateful to the gods for their rescue.
The group of four entered the hotel, and under Lin Zixi's strong request, Zhao Hangyu also had to sleep honestly. But he didn't sleep long, because the pillows and sheets all exuded a pungent musty smell.
The hotel is built on the mountain, in front of the door is an open square, the east side of the square can go around the back, there is a small door. It is said to be a small door, but it is actually a very low gap between the low walls.
For buildings on the hillside, there is no need for courtyard walls. Because you can easily jump on the roof of the hotel by climbing to the slope, the courtyard wall and gate are just decorations.
After going out of the back door, I climbed up more than 20 meters along a simple mountain road to a platform of four or five square meters, and a small cave similar to a Buddhist shrine was in front of me.
This hole is only one and a half meters high, only more than half a meter wide, and the space inside is pitiful, only allowing a stone statue of a god. It looks like it has been going on for a long time, and the stone statue is black on the outside, full of traces of wind and rain erosion.
The stone statue is about one meter high, sitting cross-legged, and the face is carved lifelike. The eyes are wide and wide, full of the solemn momentum of a god. In front of the stone statue, there are offerings and incense candles thrown by tourists, and it seems that the incense is quite vigorous.
At first, everyone didn't see anything special about the stone statue, but they just thought that this simple god statue was probably a kind of wild fairy worshiped by the local mountain people, but later found that the stone statue was a little strange in its cross-legged posture.
"Huh, how is this thing so similar to the statue I saw in the murderous temple at the bottom of the mountain in the first place?"
Wang Zihua first noticed the problem.
Lin Zixi and Shen Lanni just felt sick for a while, and they had already walked to the side.
Zhao Hangyu took a closer look, and his eyebrows furrowed. However, everyone has never heard of the name of Yin Yang Laojun, and it is estimated that most of them came out in the later period.
The two of them discussed for a while, and they both thought that judging from the sparsely populated area of Yinyang Mountain and the countless male corpses on the rocky beach, the ghost thing of Yinyang Laojun had obviously been wreaking havoc here for a long time. In order to collect yin and supplement yang, ghosts and men have become funeral objects.
Turned his head to look at the Yinyang Cave and looked at the hotel below, the hotel was built under the stone statue, the distance was so close, and the manager introduced it to the tenants, which must have ulterior motives. Judging by the abnormal attitude they showed, it is indeed doubtful.
But if they have ulterior motives, why did the young men and women who had been rescued by them come here last year to make a wish?
"That's right!"
Zhao Hangyu suddenly patted his head. Because the couple didn't bring much money when they came last year, didn't they still have a wish? But what method did the ghost use to help the young woman make her parents happily agree to the marriage between the two? Then Zhao Hangyu quickly thought of the ghost monkey.
It can't be excluded that when the couple left Yin Yang Mountain, the ghost monkeys possessed them separately and followed them home. first settled the woman's parents, and then urged the two to return to the Yinyang Cave with a lot of offerings to make a vow.
According to this view, the ghost monkey may be a pawn of Yin Yang Laojun, or it may be his little minion.
Thinking about all the root knots, they glanced at each other, and nodded solemnly, this yin and yang old gentleman must be removed! Otherwise, I don't know how many innocent people will be harmed.
At that moment, he greeted Lin Zixi and Shen Lanni, and went back to the house to discuss together.
When I went back to the house, I met the lobby manager in the lobby, a man of twenty-seven or eighteen, who always had a smile on his face, as if he had never had anything to worry about.
Zhao Hangyu glanced at it and found that the black gas on the manager's seal hall was very thick, and the circles under his eyes were all black, and there was a faint evil aura in his eyes.
Although I have long thought that there is a problem with the hotel, and this lobby manager may have been dealing with ghosts for a long time, and he is contaminated with ghosts, and he looks similar to tuberculosis ghosts. If this goes on for a long time, in a few years, he may have to go to the underworld to report.
Zhao Hangyu originally wanted to help him, but when he thought of coming to stay, this guy was asking for a lot of money, and he had a high profile that he couldn't live with. But when he saw a stack of banknotes, he was as obedient as a great-grandson.
I thought that since this guy didn't make money with conscience, he had to live a short life, and he didn't have to waste his strength for this kind of person.
However, since this guy has dealings with ghosts and evil spirits, he may also know where the old nest of the old king of yin and yang is. At that moment, he tentatively asked the manager if there were more distinctive scenic spots around him in addition to the Yinyang Cave.
"Yes, yes!"
The manager hurriedly introduced, saying that if you go more than ten miles further, you can see the most distinctive Yuanyang Pillar and Yuanyin Cave in the local area, which is rumored to be Pangu Kaitian and other clouds.
Zhao Hangyu listened to his explanation, and at the same time saw something strange in his eyes, as if this guy really hoped that his group could go to that place. When I saw this, I suddenly knew it.
It turned out that the base of Yin and Yang Laojun was in that place, and since this was the case, he was finally eliminated. I thanked the manager at the moment, and everyone went back to the room together.
Back in the room, Lin Zixi only said that the manager was yin and yang, and it was not a good thing at first glance.
Zhao Hangyu smiled: "He doesn't have a few years to live, but he told us where the evil nest is, and that's enough." ”
Wang Zihua nodded: "I also found out, looking at his expression, it seems that he wishes we could go to that place quickly." ”
"That is enough to show that there is definitely a big problem in that place, we take advantage of the current time to replenish our spirits, and there will be another fierce battle at night!"
After speaking, Zhao Hangyu used the talisman to change the atmosphere in the room to make it easier for everyone to go to bed.
In the evening, everyone was in good spirits, so they quietly set off for Yuanyang Pillar. But the deeper you go, the more treacherous the road becomes.
Since the area around Yinyang Mountain has not been developed on a large scale, many areas still have a good original appearance, and there are hardly any traces of artificially built roads and tourists.
Unconsciously walked into a dense forest, the forest seemed unusually quiet at the moment, and the depths were even darker and distant, revealing an eerie chill.
Although it was dark inside, it was not a problem for them at all, and all the terrain was extremely clear in their eyes.
At this moment, I suddenly saw a person floating in a tree in front of me. Wait, how can people wander? This sentence is not logical at all, it should be hanging a person, dangling on it, it can't be a dead person, right?
Everyone came forward to take a look, and it was really so. It was a dried corpse, its face and skin were shriveled down, and its whole complexion was very dark, like the color of old vinegar.
The two big eyes bulge outward, and no matter which angle you look at, it looks like they are staring at you.
The corpse was tightly tied to a rope around its neck and hung from a thick branch, and only a few fragments of its clothes were rotten, but fortunately it covered the sensitive parts.
"The climate in the woods is humid, but how can this guy be like bacon?" Wang Zihua couldn't help but say strangely.
This sentence immediately reminded Zhao Hangyu, so he walked over and checked it carefully. Suddenly, I found that the corpse's mouth seemed to contain something, its cheeks bulging, and its lips bulging forward.
Pick up a branch and stab it hard in the jaw of the dried corpse.
The corpse's mouth suddenly opened, and with a click, a wax pellet the size of a quail egg fell from its mouth and rolled to its feet. I bent down to pick it up and looked at it, and I immediately understood.
This is a "corpse preservation pill", which can make the corpse permanently incorruptible when held in the mouth, which is an untold secret of Taoism. The purpose of sealing the pill with wax is to keep the pill from being corroded by corpse fluid.
At this time, a very weak and old voice was suddenly heard in the ears of everyone............
"I am a Maoshan Taoist priest who died here twenty years ago. Because he was entrusted by people to go up the mountain to get rid of ghosts, he was not good at learning and art, and there was a huge disparity in each other's strength. Therefore, if you can't get rid of ghosts, you will be harmed by ghosts. ”
When everyone heard this, their faces were also slightly dark, knowing that the other party must not be easy to deal with, and this Taoist priest may be a little overwhelmed.
"In desperation, I hung myself on a big tree before I died, swallowed the corpse pill in my mouth, and waited for someone in the same way to avenge my humiliation! The only way to kill them is to uproot ............."
And so the conversation ended.
