Chapter 15: Raising the Soup and Stopping the Boiling (2)

On the second day, the two began to embark on the road to Jiaoshan.

On this day, the two passed by a barren mountain.

This mountain is not high, nor is it a famous mountain, and there is a small nameless lake lying on one side of the mountain, which looks very ordinary. Locals call this mountain 'Turtle Mountain' because it looks like a turtle lying on the shore from a distance.

There is also a small temple on this mountain, it is said that it was originally dedicated to an unknown earth immortal, and the good men and women who came and went came here to ask for marriage.

Situ Wankong didn't have much interest in this place, but he heard a strange thing in a village at the bottom of the mountain. said that some time ago, all the women who went to the temple to ask for marriage came true, and they really found Ruyi Langjun in a short time.

This is supposed to be a good thing, but it is said that it is the manifestation of this earth immortal. But the strange thing is that every woman who seeks marriage in the temple is on the day of the wedding or the next day, and the newlywed husband will definitely die, and it seems that all kinds of unbelievable accidents. Some died of drunkenness, some died by accident, some were robbed and killed by strongmen, some drowned while drawing water from a well, and some were bitten to death by unknown beasts. All in all, these newlyweds have only become relatives in the church, and before they can get to the cave house, those husbands have all lost their lives and all kinds of accidents.

At the beginning, no one could connect these things, there is a way that life is impermanent, and accidents often happen, so most newlywed women only sigh that their lives are miserable. But as the number of new widows in the village gradually increased, and they got to know each other later, they realized that these little widows had actually gone to the temple to seek marriage, and everyone realized that something was wrong.

So, it began to be rumored that this temple was not for an earth fairy, but for a mountain spirit ghost, not only would not give people a happy marriage, but they would break up the husband and wife who should be happy.

The widows who had lost their husbands in the villages around the Turtle Mountain gathered together and went up the mountain for a day to tear down the temple. Who knows, the eleven widows who went up the mountain with the enemy that day did not come back at once, but all disappeared.

At this time, the people in the village panicked, and gathered dozens of people to go up the mountain overnight to look for them. But this turtle mountain is not big, and after digging through the whole mountain, I did not find the eleven widows. But I only saw the broken temple that had been demolished and set on fire.

Therefore, the rumor has become another version, saying that this mountain spirit monster has great magical powers. ate the earth immortals that were originally worshiped by the world, killed those newlywed men, and then lured their surviving people here, and imprisoned all these new widows who had not had time to enter the cave room. Oh no! This temple is now inhabited by a pervert!

Situ was silent in the evening, and after hearing the villagers talking about it, he decided to go up the mountain to see it himself. It was useless to let the villagers stop her, although Tang Yi felt bored, she could only follow her.

According to the direction of the villagers, I walked for a long time, and when I arrived at this turtle mountain, I saw a dilapidated temple on the top of the mountain. The walls of the house were crumbling, and the tiles were charred and black, apparently vandalized. Looking at the stakes, it should have been a mountain temple of at least four to five rooms before, but now it has burned down to only half of it. And there is a charred black ground behind the temple, and I don't know what it was that was burned out.

"Are we going to spend the night here tonight?" Tang Yi looked at the messy and dirty place and scoffed.

"Well, of course we're going to find those women. Moreover, I also want to see what is hidden here, and by the way, this is what my monk in the moon sprouts and clouds should do. Situ Wankong replied.

Looking up at the sky, it was already dusk, and it looked bad, as if a heavy rain was coming.

He slowly walked into the remaining half of the temple hall that had not completely collapsed, trying to find a place where he could fall into the corner. But I saw that in the corner of the wall, there was a piece that was smashed into two flattens, and I could see clearly that it was written: Mirror Flowers and Water Moon.

That's a really ...... expression

It's all written 'Mirror Flower Water Moon', that is, the flowers in the mirror, the moon in the water, are all illusory, and where can there be a good marriage!

Tang Yi frowned, he really didn't want to walk into this dirty place, but Situ Wankong took it so seriously, he didn't say anything, just followed quietly.

After a while, it was dark outside, and at first it was just a light rain, but soon, the rain became heavier and heavier, and in a short time, it was already pouring down.

It was raining heavily outside, and there was a light rain inside the ruined temple. Situ Wankong had to use spiritual power to draw an enchantment on the top of his and Tang Yi's heads, so that the two of them would not be drenched while sitting in the room.

"I'll sleep first, if there's any movement, call me." Situ Wankong was not particular either, so he turned his head and closed his eyes.

Tang Yi was stunned again, but she didn't expect that she was even less particular than herself, and she did let herself see a different side. But he also half-jokingly: "What? Start calling me now? I'm not your pet yet. ”

Situ Wankong didn't answer, just put the cloak together again, although there was a fire, but the rainy night in the early spring weather was still so cold that people shivered a little.

"Is it cold?" Tang Yi asked.

"Cold." Situ Wankong replied honestly, but as if he remembered something, he suddenly raised his head and explained: "Put away all your demonic energy for me, don't be surprised by what is coming tonight." ”

"Cut!" Tang Yi didn't answer anymore, just stared at the fire intently.

The two of them were silent, only the sound of the heavy rain outside the house hitting the eaves and the ground was 'sizzling', and the occasional 'crackling' sound from the campfire inside the house.

Until midnight, the rain outside the house gradually stopped, and Situ was breathing evenly in the evening sky, as if he was asleep, but in fact, he pricked up his ears in the darkness and listened to every movement.

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps outside the temple, and Situ Wankong and Tang Yi opened their eyes at the same time.

Quickly sat up and removed the barrier above his head, and squeezed beside Tang Yi, facing the fire. At first glance, it seems that this is the scene of two homeless siblings, lost in the mountains, and had to temporarily settle in this temple.

Facing Situ Wankong's sudden approach and crowding himself, Tang Huo was stunned for a moment, and the temperature on his body seemed to have risen a lot all of a sudden. But seeing that she was just staring at the gate and listening carefully, she had no choice but to withdraw her other thoughts and follow her gaze to the gate together.

The footsteps grew closer and closer, until the broken door was pushed open with a creak......

It was actually a scholar in white who walked in!
