Chapter 057: White Po Temple
Only then did I notice that there was no eyeball in the old man's eye sockets, but an empty one!
The holes of the two black holes, hanging on his face, which looked so shriveled that only a layer of skin remained, were extremely cautious.
The old man was wearing a straw hat all the time, but I didn't pay much attention to it.
Now that I suddenly saw him like this, I suddenly sweated out of my body.
Fortunately, I've seen a lot of scary and evil ghosts before, and although my heart is beating hard at this time, it doesn't show too much in my limbs.
It's just that for a while, I was still so shocked that I couldn't speak.
"Young man, what's wrong with you?" The old ghost seemed to notice that something was wrong with me, and asked a question.
"No, nothing."
I pretended to be calm and said, "Maybe it's a little cold in the mountains, and I'm not used to it." ”
The contrary to normal words, "When you see people, you talk about people, and when you see ghosts, you talk nonsense." ”
Who knows if this ghost old man is good or evil?
In the current situation, I can only try to cooperate so as not to get angry with him.
The old man heard me say that he was cold, and immediately asked me to follow him to his house, "Young man, no matter what you are doing in the mountains, since you are a guest, my old man must also do some of the friendship of the landlord." ”
Going home?
Isn't that going into a haunted house?
I definitely couldn't agree to this, so I quickly wanted to refuse.
But before I could speak, the old man was already holding my hand tightly.
"Let's go, young man, you're welcome!"
I had no choice but to follow the old man anxiously and go to his house.
Soon, we were one after the other to the outside of the old man's house, a typical old courtyard house.
Green bricks and red tiles, quite antique taste, the area is not large, and the rules are decent.
"Young man, you came in, what are you afraid of?"
Seeing that I was not moving at the door of the pestle, the old man urged repeatedly.
"Oh."
I was stunned in response, then took a deep breath and walked in boldly.
The furnishings in the room are very simple, just a few chairs and a dining table.
The only thing that stood out was the painting hanging on the wall in the middle of the hall.
The painting shows a hunchbacked old woman, on crutches, and her face is already a little blurred.
But I always felt that this old woman seemed to have a sense of déjà vu, but I couldn't remember it for a while.
"Why, young man, are you also here to worship Granny Bai?"
Seeing that I was staring at the painting in a daze, the old man asked meaningfully.
"White granny, what white granny?" I'm baffled.
What gods and Buddhas do ghosts still worship?
"Hehe, so you don't know, no wonder, young man."
The old man looked at the painting respectfully, and said to me:
"Granny Bai is the mountain god in this area, and every household in our village hangs a portrait of her old family."
"Do you know the temple on the top of the mountain?" When the old man was talking about this, he suddenly asked me.
I said, "I've heard a little." ”
While saying this, I was also muttering in my heart, I don't know, this old man has no eyeballs, how does he see things?
"That's the White Granny Temple!"
"Now you young people, where have you heard about Granny Bai!"
There seemed to be a hint of contempt in the old man's tone, and his voice became much heavier.
"The crutch in Granny Bai's hand is a bone left by an immortal, even if a mortal touches it, he can change his life and use it for a lifetime!"
As soon as I heard the old man talk about fairy bones, I quickly interrupted him, and at the same time asked with a little excitement: "What are the deeds of Granny Bai?" ”
At this time, I almost forgot that the old man in front of me was a ghost, and I was still in a haunted house.
Because the clue of the fairy bone is too important to me.
I even vaguely feel that this white mother-in-law should have some connection with the iron abacus and Aunt Qing's father and daughter!
"What, young man, do you want to come and get your hands on the fairy spirit of Granny Bai, and then go to reincarnation?"
Seeing that my face was excited, the old man asked thoughtfully.
When I heard this, I was stunned for a moment, then nodded and smiled awkwardly.
It turned out that the old man thought I was his own kind - he thought that I was also a ghost!
But how is this possible?
After thinking about it carefully, I think it should have something to do with the pills that Qinggu gave me.
The old king said that I have a lot of yin qi on my body, and it is estimated that the old man in front of me mistakenly thinks that I am also a ghost.
But there is one thing that I still don't understand, that is, why I suddenly disappeared when I got here.
"Young man, since you are here to be reincarnated as an immortal, then I can tell you about Granny Bai."
As I pondered, the old man's words interrupted my train of thought.
After that, he chattered a lot of rumors about Granny Bai.
However, most of them are bombastic and innocuous things.
Fortunately, in the end, the old man finally said a rumor related to fairy bones.
The old man said that it was before the liberation.
At that time, the place of Caotou Village (also known as Jiguan Rock) was occupied by a group of foreign bandits.
At that time, the situation was chaotic, and it was not uncommon for bandits to occupy the mountains, especially in the remote mountains.
At most, thousands of people dominate one side, and at least a dozen outlaws, foxes gather in a group.
The bandits above the Caotou Village belonged to the latter, and their numbers were small, less than twenty in total.
This gang of bandits has been in the grass village for several years, and the surrounding people have suffered many times, and they have suffered unspeakably.
One year there was a great drought, and the crops were not harvested, and the bandits in the mountains naturally suffered as well.
There is no food to grab everywhere, and the county town does not dare to go, and the big landlords' houses are guarded by family members.
One night, the second master took two little minions back to the mountain, and when he passed by the Bai Po Temple, he saw that the lights were bright, and the fragrance of food wafted out.
At that time, the second master wondered, natural and man-made disasters, drought everywhere, this broken temple has basically cut off the incense since they came.
Can you still eat now?
He was naturally suspicious in his heart, so he called a little minion named Li Erhei to check it out.
Li Erhei came to the gate of the temple according to the instructions of the second master.
As soon as he walked to the gate of the temple, Li Erhei smelled the fragrance of vegetables, and was drooling when he was about to rush in.
Suddenly, a white light flashed in the room, and then a "click" sound was heard like deboning and chopping meat.
Li Erhei was suddenly suspicious, how could someone in the temple remove bones and chop meat?
And the temple keeper, who knew him and the brothers in the village, was a thin old man in his fifties with a scar on his face.
They usually call this temple keeper, who has been their neighbor for a long time, "Old Scar".
Li Erhei felt that something was wrong, and even tiptoed into the temple door, and then walked to the window with his waist bent over, and peeked in through the gap.
I want to see what this old scar is doing in the house.
