Chapter Twenty-Eight: Up the Mountain
The coffin covered with red paint looked so glamorous and dazzling in the sun, and the red color, like a sharp needle, shook Jiang Han's heart with a little fear.
A chill hit from behind, making Jiang Han's body tremble, and his skin was covered with goosebumps.
That wooden boat is actually a red coffin!
No wonder Lingling would say anything, she was caught in the Gu Heart Curse and lay in the coffin all night.
All this is also the conspiracy of the paper man, who tricked Jiang Han into this coffin, hoping that he would be buried for the unjust soul under the water!
Jiang Han realized it later, and then he realized that this was the case! I couldn't help but laugh at myself in my heart.
Even though he had been wary of the paper man last night, he was still fooled.
"Hey, keep up." Just when Jiang Han felt remorse for his stupidity yesterday, Lingling shouted coldly in front.
"Huh! Here it comes. Jiang Han came to his senses, lifted the backpack on his shoulder, and strode to follow.
There is only one way to get to the temple at the top of the mountain, and that is the stone staircase that was built, which winds its way up and is extremely steep, and the stone staircase is overgrown with weeds and moss.
It looks like it's been a few years, and it's basically not very popular.
Lingling strode in front, and Jiang Han was carrying a package in the back, already exhausted and out of breath.
"Alas, alas, this little girl has good physical strength." Jiang Han gasped, and the sweat couldn't stop flowing.
But Lingling climbed up by herself, completely ignoring Jiang Han, and in a few breaths, Jiang Han was thrown back more than ten meters.
"Hey, you're not going to be able to do it, slowly, like a turtle." Lingling poked her head out of the corner in front of her and mocked mercilessly.
"Alas... Standing... If you don't have a backache when you stand and talk, you can carry a big bag of things and climb the mountain. Jiang Han couldn't help but roll his eyes and retorted.
Along the way, Lingling kept urging and climbed for a full hour before reaching the top of the mountain.
This mountain is probably the highest peak around this Shuilong Village, Jiang Han stood on it, looking at the scene in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh a little.
But Jiang Han didn't have the extra heart to enjoy this beautiful scenery, he turned to look at the temple in front of him and looked at it carefully.
The temple gate with white walls, gray tiles and red tiles, the temple gate is closed, and a plaque is hung on it, called Water Dragon Temple.
Seeing the three big characters on the plaque, Jiang Han guessed why there was a temple here.
The villagers of Shuilong Village are superstitious and rotten, believing that there is a water dragon in the reservoir under the mountain, so they named this village Shuilong Village, and this Shuilong Temple was probably built for the imaginary water dragon.
Jiang Han shook his head and smiled, worshipping the non-existent water dragon as a god, in his opinion, it was extremely ignorant.
"My mom is inside, are you going to get in?" Lingling's big eyes stared at Jiang Han and asked.
"Hmm." Jiang Han nodded.
wants to uncover the tragic case of the mysterious deaths of hundreds of people that year, Lingling's mother is the only breakthrough.
stepped forward and pushed open the heavy red temple door, and the scene in the temple was fully seen by Jiang Han.
In the courtyard of the temple, there was no scene like Jiang Han had expected, with dead leaves and overgrown weeds, none of which existed here, but they were taken care of very neatly.
"My mom is in there, it's just that you don't necessarily see it." Lingling's expression became a little complicated, and she said weakly.
Jiang Han didn't speak, but he saw through Lingling's thoughts at the moment.
Lingling was a little sad and worried, she was worried, if Jiang Han knew everything here, would it be bad for her mother, after all, her mother was no longer human!
"Don't worry, I also have feelings for the ghosts, and I won't do anything bad to you that is bad for your mother." Jiang Han smiled slightly, touched Lingling's head and said.
When Jiang Han's hand touched Lingling's head, Lingling's body trembled slightly unconsciously, this was the first time she was touched by a stranger since she could remember, and for a while, there was an indescribable feeling in her heart.
Just as Jiang Han's feet were about to step into the temple, Yun Xi suddenly appeared and blocked Jiang Han's front.
"Yunxi! You've finally shown up. Jiang Han was shocked, but when he reacted, he was overjoyed, since the wooden boat last night, Yun Xi had not moved at all, which made Jiang Han really worried.
A female ghost suddenly appeared in front of her, and Lingling instinctively took a few steps back, her face becoming complicated.
"You're walking with a ghost!" Lingling said in astonishment.
Hearing this, Jiang Han's face also became solemn, "Can you see it?" ”
This is what Jiang Han didn't expect, Lingling not only could see her mother, but also knew a lot of things about ghosts, such as those paper figures under the mountain, and even saw Yunxi, which made Jiang Han believe more and more that Lingling must have some kind of ability.
"Don't be afraid, this sister is very kind and will not hurt you." Jiang Han didn't explain much, just reassured.
Lingling didn't speak, it seemed that Yunxi's sudden appearance would not cause much stimulation to her.
It's right to think about it, this kid has lived with the ghost for so many years, and it's normal to see the ghost not showing fear.
"Yunxi, what happened last night, why can't you hear my call?" Seeing that Lingling was not afraid, Jiang Han turned around and asked Yun Xi about last night.
"That sleep fog can make the ghosts fall into a deep sleep, I ...... yesterday" Yun Xi explained to Jiang Han, Jiang Han then understood, it turned out that the fog was so terrifying, not only can people fall into a coma, but even the ghosts will be affected and fall into a deep sleep.
Fortunately, Lingling appeared in time, so that nothing more terrifying happened.
"It seems that you have to be careful in every move you make next, so as not to let those treacherous paper figures set up a trap again." After learning a lesson, Jiang Han would not make the same low-level mistakes.
"You're going to go in and see the ghost?" Yun Xiliu's eyebrows furrowed slightly, as if she was worried about something.
"What's wrong? Any questions? Seeing Yun Xi's expression, Jiang Han couldn't help but ask.
"That female ghost has a strong grudge, you'd better not provoke her." Yun Xi gave advice, said.
"Is it strong? Can you deal with her? Jiang Han asked.
"The strength is equal, if it really fights, I am not absolutely sure to defeat her, if I lose, you are also very likely to be in danger."
Yun Xi, who has always been strong, seems to be very uncertain about this matter.
Hearing this, Jiang Han thought to himself for a moment, but then smiled slightly, and said, "Don't worry, I came here to help her, and she must not be unfavorable to me." ”
Yun Xi naturally knew Jiang Han's character, as long as it was something he believed in, even if it was dangerous, he would complete it.
Moreover, Jiang Han did the task in order to see his parents and grandfather again, which was Jiang Han's inner obsession.
Judging from this point alone, Jiang Han will not give up.
"Hmm." Yun Xi knew that he could not persuade Jiang Han, so he didn't say anything more.
