Eighty-seven Temple of Statues
Uncle Zhao listened to my words, pondered without saying a word, and only opened his mouth after a long time to say, "It seems that the disappearance of the stone gate has something to do with the disappearance of the two stone statues. ”
I nodded knowingly, but I still haven't been able to figure out what went wrong with this road.
"Isn't it the ghost who showed the way?" Lao Li suddenly interjected.
When I was a child in the countryside, I used to hear some old people get up, and it is said that it is easy for people who walk at night to meet. In the past, there was an old Liu Tou who lived at the south entrance of our village, and he made a living by pouring some candles and matches on weekdays, because of the limited liquidity on hand, he got up in the middle of the night every day and went to the county town to wholesale some small items such as matches and candles.
Then he pulled the car back to these remote villages to resell, and he couldn't make any money. I went to the county town to wholesale some groceries and hurried back to the village, but it was already three o'clock in the morning, and I still followed the country road I usually walked to go home.
Seeing that he had reached the entrance of the village, he quickened his pace, thinking that he would go back to sleep early, and he would have to go out to sell goods and make money tomorrow morning. But the more you walk along the road leading to the entrance of the village, the more wrong you feel, this road is obviously an east-west path, but you can walk and walk how the village ran to its southern position. This Liu Laohan thought that he was confused, walked another road to the village, and turned the head of the frame car in the world.
Pulling the wooden cart, he walked towards the village that appeared to the south, but as he walked, he realized that something was wrong again. The village that had appeared in the south just now had now run to the west.
Lao Liu panicked for a moment, and pulled the cart and rushed towards the village that appeared in the west. When he was running wildly, he was moved by something, and the whole person was thrown to the ground, and then he fainted. When I woke up the next day, I found myself lying in a wheat field outside the village, and a deep wheel mark in the wheat field led into the distance.
After returning home, many villagers later followed the car prints to find Lao Liutou's house. It turned out that Lao Liu Tou pulled his own cart last night and circled around the wheat field outside the village several times, overwhelming a lot of wheat, and since then Lao Liu Tou has never gone out to buy goods at night.
When some elderly white-bearded old men in the village were chatting, they always talked about this incident, talking about the bizarre incident of Lao Liu Tou encountering the unjust soul to guide the way.
'Unjust ghosts guide the way', the principle is basically the same as ghosts hitting the wall, ghosts smashing the wall. It is a strange phenomenon that some unjust ghosts have caused human brain waves to lose their balance and appear illusions after interfering with the nearby magnetic field.
But whether the ghost is pointing the way, or the ghost hitting the wall, it is generally to confuse a person's heart, and it is okay to say that I am alone and am confused, but the pier can't be confused with me. Human brain waves are different from person to person, so how can there be the same hallucination. I don't think it's as simple as a ghost pointing the way at this time.
Uncle Zhao, who had been pondering for a long time, suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Could it be related to this road, Xiaoyuan, think about it carefully, did you find anything abnormal in the past just now." ”
I thought about it for a long time and couldn't come up with anything out of the ordinary, but it seemed like it was the way in the past. There was a slight difference from the two roads we took in the wrong direction, and those two roads were obviously narrower and more than enough to reach the end, so that only one person could walk. However, the road under the flashlight in the past tense was obviously more wide. I told Uncle Zhao what I saw.
Uncle Zhao smiled slightly and said, "Little trick, it's either 'Cross Road' or 'Mizi Road'." "Before I could continue to ask. Uncle Zhao explained
"Have you noticed, although the road under our feet is a little narrow, it is also different from the path that Xiao Yuan said can only be passed by one person. And you should pay attention to it, every time we walk more than ten meters, the road will suddenly widen, and then we will walk more than ten meters before the road will gradually become slightly narrower. In my opinion, there is something wrong with this wide section of more than ten meters, the surrounding area is pitch black, plus the smoke is thick, the visibility is not very high, if we don't pay attention, it is very likely that we will go to another road. ”
I may understand Uncle Zhao's words, what he means is that there will be many forked paths on this relatively wide road of more than ten meters. Coupled with the surrounding environment, if we are not careful, we will go the other way. In retrospect, it's no wonder I went the wrong way, and it turns out that this is where the problem lies.
But how can we continue to move forward, or turn back, and whether we can still find the path we came from?
"It's nothing, we're here, I'm afraid that a small road will stump us." Uncle Zhao said confidently.
I thought to myself that if Uncle Zhao could say this, he must have some good way. But I didn't think that Uncle Zhao didn't even make arrangements, so he shook his arms and walked forward directly, I followed him and asked quietly, "Uncle Zhao, shall we go down like this?" ”
Uncle Zhao turned to look at me and said, "Such a simple question, what do you want to do so complicated, you just have to move forward, whenever the road becomes wider, you take out the compass and walk towards the arrow." ”
Uncle Zhao's answer seems to me to understand, how can he be sure that this road is straight to the south. Maybe we're going in the wrong direction at a bend in the corner.
Although I had some doubts in my heart, I still followed him obediently. Uncle Zhao may have seen my doubts to some extent, and intentionally or unintentionally said, "Since ancient times, there has been a road in Huangquan, which leads straight to the earth and yin. ”
I thought about it in my heart, it turned out to be this truth, but who knows if this is a real underworld or a fake yin, will Uncle Zhao's choice be a little too hasty.
According to Uncle Zhao's method, after walking on the narrow and wide path for a while, an ancient pavilion building appeared in front of him. It looks like a large hall, and when you walk in, you can see the plaque with gold paint and blue background above the main hall, which reads "Yama Palace". The majestic building exudes great majesty.
"There really is a Yama Palace, there should be a Yama King in it." Huzi looked a little nervous.
The smoke around the main hall was clear, ghostly, and the inexplicable chill on the body added another touch to the already tense atmosphere. "Crunch" As Lao Li pushed open the wooden door of the main hall, a five-meter-tall statue of a god in the main hall was placed in the middle. The statue of the god was dressed in a yellow robe, standing high in the middle of the main hall, with a strict and fair face, his hand brushing his beard, and staring at the uninvited guests of the five of us in the hall.
"Yang. Yang Xiuyuan, the eyes of this idol are so scary. Huzi hid behind me and trembled.
"King Qin Guang, who is in charge of life and death in the world, and is in charge of the good luck and evil of the underworld, it is said that after death, people will pass through the ten halls of Yama, and the sins of life will be tried by the ten halls of Yama. If you are a great good person in your lifetime, you only need to pass through a hall of King Qin Guang to give the order of reincarnation. But those who have sinned in their lifetime will enter the Yama Hall below to examine it according to the plot, and it can be regarded as the head of the Ten Yama Palaces. I explained to Huzi.
After hearing this, Huzi suddenly stopped talking, who knows what he would be thinking in his head.
Looking at the statue in front of me, I felt as if something was missing, and after a closer look, I found that it stands to reason that there must be an incense burner in front of the statue, but there is no here. Could it be that he is not a god statue, but the virtual body of King Qin Guang, but we can see his real body with the naked eye.
Looking at the overhead, King Qin Guang's wide eyes, I couldn't help but feel as if he was alive. The more I thought about it, the more frightened I felt, so I simply followed the crowd directly behind the idol.
There is an open gate behind the statue, and after leaving the gate, there is a large hall in front of you, which is the same as the architectural style of the front hall. A few of us stepped forward to push open the door, and a five-meter-high statue appeared in the main hall, and the face of this statue looked a little fierce. With wide eyes, a wide open mouth, a flying beard, and a sword in his hand, the tip of the sword was just aimed at us in the hall. When I looked at it coldly, I almost thought that he was going to assassinate us with a sword. Next to the main hall, there is also a narrative sculpture of a ghost holding a large knife, slashing the arm of an unjust ghost.
