"Who!?"

Staying overnight in a barren mountain, there was no one in the ancient temple, Gu Shusheng was already afraid in his heart, and he couldn't sleep while lying in bed.

muttering and reciting the teachings of the saints in his mouth, he gradually became confused, half asleep and half awake.

The slightest movement will wake you up.

"Knock...... Boom...... Knock ......"

A dull knock sounded again, but there was no answer.

Gu Shusheng felt even more uneasy, sat up, put his shoes on his feet, and shouted, "Who is outside the door?" ”

"Knock...... Boom...... Knock ......"

He was still answered by the dull sound of the door banging.

"Why don't you speak?"

"Knock...... Knock ......"

Gu Shusheng was a little annoyed, thinking that someone was teasing him.

As soon as I stood up and wanted to open the door, I immediately remembered something and paused.

"No...... right"

Gu Shusheng frowned and whispered to himself: "The monks in the temple have already gone out, the temple door is locked, although this ancient temple is not big, this monk's house is also separated by a Buddha hall, there are dozens of zhang, how can someone knock on the door?" ”

"Isn't it that the beast in the mountains inadvertently broke into the temple?"

Thinking of this, Gu Shusheng silently recited a few words in his heart, "Zi is silent, strange and confused", and then plucked up his courage, turned on the lamp, picked up the candlestick, and went out to see what was going on.

"Crunch ......"

He was afraid that there would be some wild beast, and he didn't dare to go out like that.

Afraid of startling the thing, he carefully opened the door a crack.

A gust of wind suddenly poured in, blowing the candle flame in his hand and almost extinguishing it.

Gu Shusheng shuddered and hurriedly raised his hand to protect him.

Fortunately, the strange wind blew away, and the lights jumped a few times, and gradually brightened again.

"Hoo ......"

Gu Shusheng shook his shoulders and breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't know why he was so nervous.

Leaned over to the crack in the door, and looked out with one eye against the crack in the door.

Through the two-finger-wide crack in the door, I only saw that it was dark outside, and I couldn't even see the stars and moon in the sky, I couldn't see a trace of light, and it was difficult to see five fingers when I stretched out my hand.

Only the Buddha hall in front can still see a dark silhouette in the dark.

There are also a few rickety old trees in the courtyard, which are full of shadows, moving lightly with the wind, making a sorring sound.

"No?"

Gu Shusheng muttered to himself in confusion.

I pressed against the crack in the door, and rolled my eyes to look at it for a while, but I couldn't see anything but darkness and the shadows of the trees.

He closed the door gently and shook his head.

Just as he was about to go back to bed, he heard another voice.

"Bang ......"

It wasn't like the heavy knock on the door before, it was much softer, but it was also denser.

Gu Shusheng didn't think it was a beast at this time, he was really unbearable, turned around and opened the door suddenly.

It was still pitch black outside the door, and there was nothing out of the ordinary.

Gu Shusheng's breathing became a little short.

Although I tried to tell myself that my son was silent, it was difficult to suppress the fear in my heart in this environment.

He has also secretly read some legends of Zhiwei, on which there are many scholars who meet foxes, or stay in barren mountains at night, and mountain spirits and ghosts harm people.

Could it be that he really met him this time?

"No, I read the books of sages, I have righteousness in my body, and my heart is open-minded, even if there are really some mountain spirits and ghosts, what can I do?"

Gu Shusheng muttered to himself, but he couldn't help but look at the Buddha hall in front of him, where he saw only a dark and faint outline.

I thought, there is a Buddha sitting here, what kind of charm can be close?

He raised the lamp and walked forward, wanting to enter the Buddha hall to avoid it, and borrow the Buddha statue in the hall to strengthen his courage.

"Click......"

As soon as he stepped out of the door, he stepped on something he didn't know, making a slight sound, but in this quiet ancient temple, it was still very clear and abrupt.

Gu Shusheng was taken aback.

He retracted his feet and lifted up the lamp to shine away, but he saw many things scattered under his feet that were a finger long and wide.

"It's ...... Huaishi? ”

Gu Shusheng glanced at it twice and recognized it.

This thing looks like a soaphorn, but he also has a few old locust trees in his house, and he often sees them, but he will not admit mistakes.

"How can there be so many acacia scattered here?"

That's what just hit the door?

But in this courtyard, there are clearly no locust trees.

Fei Dan didn't have it in this courtyard, he remembered clearly, when he came, he didn't see the locust tree all the way.

Gu Shusheng swallowed slightly, didn't dare to delay any longer, protected the lamp and candle with one hand, and walked quickly towards the Buddha hall in front.

However, in just a distance of about ten feet, he walked in horror.

It wasn't until I stepped into the Buddha hall that I felt slightly at ease.

Holding a lamp in his hand, he looked at the Buddha hall.

The monks brought him in, but they didn't bring him here because they were in a hurry to go out.

Now that he has come in, he can't see the Buddha without worshipping, not to mention that he still wants to borrow the Buddha's treasure to hide.

Because it was too dark, Gu Shusheng used the candle flame in his hand to light up the oil lamps on both sides of the hall and the four pillars.

The Buddha hall was suddenly covered with a layer of dim light.

The Buddha statue on the temple was illuminated.

This ancient temple is remote and inconspicuous, but the Buddha statue enshrined is golden, shining in the candlelight.

Gu Shusheng was slightly surprised.

However, this golden and majestic Buddha statue can make him feel more stable.

Gu Shusheng looked around, walked to a pillar near the Buddha statue, and sat on the ground, planning to spend the night here.

It was late at night, and I was disturbed for a long time by the strange noise, and I was frightened, and when my heart settled down, I felt very sleepy, and soon after I sat down, my eyelids sank.

"Boom!"

At this moment, the sound of the door was heard again, louder and more rapid than before.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

The sound is more urgent and continuous.

Gu Shusheng was awakened again, and before he could make any other moves, a faint voice suddenly sounded in his ears: "Brother Gu...... Brother Gu......"

"Who?!"

Gu Shusheng exclaimed loudly.

"Brother Gu......"

"It's me...... Shen Dinglan ......"

"Please open the door and see ......"

The cry is faint and faint, like fluttering in the wind.

It sounded repeatedly in Gu Shusheng's ears.

If it weren't, he wouldn't be able to tell.

Gu Shusheng heard the call clearly, and his face was puzzled.

Shen Dinglan?

Silently muttered a few times, and suddenly his eyes appeared.

This is one of his old friends, no wonder he is called Brother Gu.

This is a classmate of his friends in the school, and he has a good relationship with him.

However, later there was an accident in his family, and the family moved away, and he hadn't seen him for more than ten years, so when he heard his name at first glance, Gu Shusheng didn't think of it for a while.

He still vaguely remembered that it seemed that the Shen family had moved to Lingbi County back then.

It turned out to be some mountain spirit......

Gu Shusheng breathed a sigh of relief and secretly laughed at himself.

Meeting the dead in the wilderness is a happy event.

"Brother Shen, please wait!"

Gu Shusheng shouted, took the candle again, held it in his hand, and was about to go out.

When he reached the entrance of the temple, he suddenly stopped.

The expression on his face suddenly became very frightened.

He suddenly remembered that a few years ago, when he had met with a few friends, he had mentioned this old man.

One of the friends once went out to study, passed through this Lingbi County, and once wanted to visit Shen Dinglan, but he didn't want to, so he inquired and learned that the Shen family had changed......

Shen Dinglan......

It's already dead!
