Following the path marked on the map for a long time, when everyone in the car chatted a little dry, finally the carriage paused, and the voice of the coachman called outside: "Uncle, Nalan Ruo Temple has arrived." ”

Hearing this, several people in the car were excited and hurriedly got out of the car.

Du Bai was probably the last to get off.

After getting out of the car, with a cold and damp smell of slightly rotting leaves, the first impression that caught the eye was - desolation.

This should be the depths of the mountains and forests, far away from the people, surrounded by tall and verdant trees, whose branches and leaves are constantly intertwined, covering almost half of the sky, like a dense net blocking the sunlight and unable to penetrate it.

And it is in this environment that a slightly obtrusive temple stands in the distance.

It can be vaguely seen that there has been no one to come and go for a long time, so this place has been extremely deserted, and even the side room has been poured out of a *** exposed gray stone foundation, and the tiles are scattered on the edge of the moth-eaten beams and pillars. The brick walls on the outside are already covered with green vines and thick moss, but they also seem to support the temple that has been crumbling with the baptism of time.

Speaking of which, the most striking thing is a huge tree in front of the temple. I don't know what kind of tree it is, but its trunk may be able to be closed by three adults holding hands, and its roots spread hideously from the ground to the ground, forming a series of protrusions, constantly absorbing most of the nutrients in this radius of several miles.

And the height of its top is far higher than the other surrounding trees, it stands like a giant, and the huge branches and leaves spread out, blocking most of the sunlight of this temple!

"It's really a towering tree!" Xu Zhiyan on the side exclaimed, and couldn't help but step forward to take a look.

"Dare to ...... higher than the sky"

"This is Lanruo Temple?" The rest of the people gradually woke up from the shock of the tree and began to look away.

The first thing you see is the plaque hanging in front of the main hall that has been blurred, which is written "Lanruo Temple".

Du Bai also looked at the giant tree for a while, and secretly thought in his heart, "If there is really any tree demon grandma, then this tree must be the most suspicious." ”

It's just a little strange that he has seen countless demons and monsters, and he can easily distinguish the difference between the aura of the existence of ghosts, but he didn't feel any evil aura from this tree at this time.

On the contrary, the tree gave him a strange feeling, only a kind of peace of mind. It seems that as long as you are around this tree, you can gradually eliminate the irritability and anxiety in your heart.

This strange feeling quickly reminded him of the relics that the ghost king's clone had eaten before.

The effects are quite similar.

"There's something weird about this tree."

Du Bai glanced at it deeply and slowly withdrew his gaze, and when he looked to the side, he found that Su Zhirou was standing not far from him, also looking at the big tree with longing, her eyes flickering, as if she was thinking about something.

When she noticed Du Bai's eyes, her face changed slightly, and she subconsciously dodged a little weakly, but then she seemed to remember something, glared at him angrily, and then turned to the direction of the others.

Du Bai was not angry, but felt a little funny and wonderful in his heart.

No wonder it is said that women are the most difficult creatures to understand. This seemingly unobtrusive little girl can write such delicate words, and she usually can't see that she has such a mind.

When everyone approached the Lanruo Temple, they could see more and more clearly the dilapidated temple building at this time, as if it had reached the point where it would collapse if it shook slightly.

Just took a step closer, and a cloud of dust was slightly raised under his feet with his movements, and a breath close to decay and antiquity came to his face, slightly choking.

"This kind of place ......," a young girl frowned, carefully covering her mouth and nose with her sleeves, and looked disgusted, "Is there really a ghost?" ”

I'm afraid that even unenlightened beasts don't want to stay here for long.

"Xiaoyan, you just joined the society and naturally don't know. The more inaccessible and old the place, the more likely it is that there are ghosts hiding. Xu Zhiyan looked left and right with interest, especially on some Buddha statues, trying to find some clues.

"This seems to be the Ezu Buddha, I saw it in a book." He looked at the largest Buddha statue in the temple, thought for a while, and said, "But it was mainly built three hundred years ago, and it is rare now, that is, the predecessor of the more common Azu Buddha, the biggest feature is that its forehead is more prominent......

"The origin of the Ezu Buddha is that there was a strange person in ancient times, who was poor since he was a child but was dedicated to goodness......"

Du Bai thinks he is quite suitable to be a tour guide, he is quite knowledgeable, and he can tell some small stories to match this knowledge, so that people will not feel bored and bored when they hear it. But it's really in line with this guy's identity, and he knows these ghost stories very well.

He raised his head and glanced at the tattered wood carved Buddha statue, the outer layer of paint had long been gone, leaving only a vaguely distinguishable Buddha statue, chubby and round figure, with a kind and kind smile on the forehead prominent, but now it has been forgotten for a long time, dust and cobwebs are everywhere, this smile seems to be a little desolate.

It may be because of the special nature of the wood that a complete Buddha statue can still be preserved, but it is estimated that it will be difficult to last too long under the washing of time.

"This temple is 400 years old...... at least," Xu Zhiyan introduced with interest, pacing slowly, looking around excitedly, not as a rich kid but as an archaeologist - presumably if he had been born in modern times, he would be suitable for this profession.

But at this moment, his voice stopped abruptly, and he screamed in surprise, as if he had discovered something unusual.

Du Bai turned his head to look, but found that the other party was looking at the offering table in front of the Buddha statue with a surprised look, and said in surprise: "Here...... It looks like there's still someone living there. ”

"Anyone else?" Du Bai was stunned.

"Yes." Xu Zhiyan looked solemn, slowly stepped forward and touched the surface of the side offering table with his fingers, and said softly, "There is not a lot of dust here, it is completely different from the surroundings, it seems that someone is often cleaning the Buddha." ”

"This ......"

After he said this, Du Bai took a closer look, and sure enough, he found that the ash on the offering table was much thinner than the one next to it, and it was impossible to say that no one had cleaned it up.

"Are there really ghosts lodged here?" He pondered to himself, turned his head to look at the giant tree outside, thoughtful.
