Chapter 222 The Secret History of Ancient Temples
The person who called me from the county cultural bureau was called Liu Fei, and his colleagues called him Xiao Liu, who came to guard the temple some time ago, and was a college student who had just graduated from college.
About my age.
After meeting, we were both surprised that the other party was so old.
Liu Fei thought I was an old policeman who was not afraid of gods and ghosts, but he didn't expect it to be a half-old student of the same age as him, so he laughed, "Liang Feng, I thought you were an old policeman, but I didn't expect that you were about the same age as me." ”
"Haha, me too, I didn't expect you to be so young."
The words of young people are easy to speak
Happily entered the county cultural bureau together.
The county chronicle is a record of the major events that happened in the county in history, and what can be written into the county chronicle are also the important events that happened in that year.
Xiao Liu introduced to me the situation of the county chronicle, and said, "There are too many complicated things recorded in the county chronicle, it is very disorganized, I have been looking for a long time before I can find an article about the ancient wind temple, haha, it is very colorful, you have to take a good look at it in a while." ”
"It's a lot of color."
I became interested, "What a big situation, you can tell me first." ”
"Oh, it's better for you to see for yourself, I really can't tell."
Happy to go inside.
I followed, and then asked, "Put aside the county chronicle in advance, listen to your meaning, you were the first to go to the Gufeng Temple, then let me ask you, did you drive you out of a dumb girl." ”
"Mute girl."
Xiao Liu thought for a while and said, "It's not like this, we got a notice from the Municipal Bureau of Culture, so we drove straight over, in the past, it was already empty, we also inquired about the situation in the village, saying that the temple is a ghost temple, haunted for a long time, I have two other colleagues in charge of guarding the temple, but on the first day, a group of ghosts came as soon as the sky was dark, oops, I was scared when I said it, it was too evil." ”
"The ghost came in the evening?"
It should be the same thing as the tricks I encountered, "The ghost you're talking about is the man who smoked a cigarette twenty years ago, three girls dressed in the costumes of a former Qing court maid, and an old lady with a fox face." ”
"Yes, yes, yes, the evil door is very, my God, scare people to death, they are all ghosts, they are all ghosts." He also asked me, "You also saw it, you are not afraid." ”
"That's not a ghost, what's so scary."
"Not a ghost? What is that, who goes to that place on a big night when it is deserted, especially the old lady with a fox face, there is no shadow, and the ghost has no shadow. ”
"I didn't notice it, but it doesn't feel like it, heck, don't mention it, you mean, there was no one when you went."
"No, there is no one, it is an ancient temple hidden in the mountains, we were very curious at that time, since there is no one in this temple, why is it so clean and tidy, and the wing room can live in people, and the room is also a long-term person cooking, we thought at first that it was someone in the village who was cleaning it, but then we understood, that is to do the ghost temple, the ghost is cleaning, because the people in the village are afraid to go, by the way, do you know, who is enshrined."
"Who?"
"King Yama."
Xiao Liu said very accurately, "The three of us had the same dream, and we all dreamed that the king of Yama interrogated us, hum, there will be no mistake, that place is the temple of the king of Yama, so those ghosts went to worship, worship, and clean." ”
"The dreams are exactly the same."
This is more and more indicative of someone doing something.
It's just that I didn't expect that little girl to be so skillful, but it was beyond my imagination.
I was happy and understood, "Okay, I know, thank you for the reminder, let's read the county chronicles, see what you said, what is recorded." ”
"Okay, okay."
Xiao Liu took me to a dilapidated archive room, and only then did I find a thick county chronicle, some of which were still written in gray-skinned traditional characters.
It's nice to be able to keep it.
Xiao Liu read a few of them, handed them to me and said, "Look at it, it's the ancient wind temple recorded here." ”
"Hmm."
I took a look at it, and it was recorded around 1935, when the Northeast had fallen into the hands of the Japanese, and the whole country was warlords and bandits, and the people were in dire straits.
I turned the thick pages of the book, and it was like turning the pages of history.
That year, this sat in the history of the county.
First of all, I wrote one thing, in the winter of 1935, there was an earthquake in the county, many houses in the county were destroyed, many bridges were broken, the county magistrate took people to renovate everywhere, and then because of the need for wood repair, he went into the mountains to cut down trees, and then found the ancient towers and ancient temples hidden in the mountains.
At that time, the ancient pagoda was also blocked by trees, so it could not be seen, and no one knew about the ancient temple.
Because it requires a lot of wood, it was discovered in this way.
"It was found again, but before that, there was no more? Is there no record of this ancient temple? ”
"Oh, no one will pay attention to the county chronicle, it is said that there was a county chronicle until the Ming Dynasty at the earliest, but then the Red Guard
The soldiers said that it was anti-revolution
All the things that are life-threatening have been burned, and being able to keep these is already considered a blessing. ”
"I'm done."
The catastrophe caused by that catastrophe is still irreparable.
I sighed and continued to look, at this time, the county magistrate knew about it, and personally went to the ancient tower and the ancient temple to see, the ancient tower was extremely beautiful, very magnificent, so the surrounding trees were all over, and the ancient tower was displayed in front of the people again, and the mountain was also named the ancient tower peak.
The ancient temple, quite a bit of the style of the ancient temple in the Tang and Song dynasties, was named the ancient temple.
"The origin of this name is because the county magistrate at that time gave it, and it doesn't have it since ancient times."
"Well, yes, that's right, this is also the temple has no plaque, naturally no one knows the previous name."
"Hey."
It's all sporadic clues, and it's useless.
But at this time, as soon as the voice changed, there began to be a clear record, and after the county magistrate saw it, he was afraid that the ancient tower and ancient temple would be destroyed by artillery fire, or destroyed by robbers and wandering villagers, so he was ready to send someone to guard it.
A name appeared, Yang Luochang.
Yang Luochang is a civilian worker in the county, and he was sent to guard the temple, and he kept it for more than 20 years, marrying a wife and having children in the temple.
And what is recorded later seems to be Yang Luochang's self-description.
Yang Luochang was originally a big family in the county, and he could stretch until the middle of the Qing Dynasty.
He is good at reading, but he is not easy to intersect, and he does not know how to be an official, although he is quite famous in the local area, he has always been unknown.
Slowly, the name is gone.
He himself knew that he was not the material for being an official, so he began to sort out the county and county chronicles, and finally made a career and made some achievements.
But after the age of 30, he still married and had children, and countless friends and relatives introduced him, either the woman's family did not agree, or all kinds of strange things happened.
He didn't have the idea of marrying a wife, he was a monk and an old man for making friends, and he developed a loose personality. I don't have much contact with friends from the government.
Become an alternative.
After the appearance of the ancient tower, the ancient temple thing.
He already had the idea of being widowed in green lanterns, so he asked Ying to go to guard the tower and the temple.
The county magistrate saw that he was so resolute, and he might be able to become a generation of famous monks in the future, which could be regarded as his own reputation, so he gave him a high salary of three oceans a month to support him.
He lived in the ancient temple, and he was also very good.
After recording it here, I finally understood that this record may be Yang Luochang's own words, haha smiled, "Okay, you should read the diary." ”
But he also wondered why he was able to live in it so smoothly and without being haunted.
It stands to reason that if there are people guarding the temple in the temple, it must be there for generations, not just this generation. I was puzzled, puzzled for a while.
I wanted to ask Xiao Liu, but Xiao Liu looked at me with a smile on his face.
I just gave up and kept watching.
At this time, he wrote about the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, saying that Haizhou was located in a remote area, but the Battle of Songhu failed and Nanjing fell, and Haizhou could not escape the iron hooves of the Japanese.
Yang Luochang devoted himself to serving the country, made an appointment with a few friends, and prepared to go to the front line to resist the Japanese, and use his own blood to resist the bullets of the Oriental iron hooves.
But then something happened.
The large army of the Japanese devils has not yet attacked Haizhou, and a small army has infiltrated first, and the target is the ancient tower and the ancient temple.
There are also a few Japanese names specifically mentioned here, Chiba Musashi and Chiba Sakuraro.
Led by these two people, dressed in disguise, they came to the ancient temple, Yang Luochang and others thought that they were just wounded soldiers who had retreated from the front line, so they also entertained them and let them recuperate in the ancient temple.
But there is always a time for jackals to show their filling.
Yang Luochang and others saw through the tricks of the Japanese, so they called the police in the county town, and they arrested those Japanese.
Originally, I wanted to interrogate the origin of these Japanese, but the front line was tight, and I needed to use the heads of these Japanese devils to arouse the fighting spirit.
There was a pledge meeting in the county town, and all of them became ghosts under the knife.
But for some reason, Chiba Musashi and Chiba Sakura escaped this oath meeting, and instead became the vanguard after the Japanese invaded Haizhou.
Yang Luochang knew that most of them were traitors, so he took people to hide in the mountains.
At this point, there are already a lot of the foregoing, but the latter is the most exciting, the Japanese began to excavate under the ancient temple and began to cut down on a large scale.
It was as if there was something underneath this ancient temple.
"Japanese treasure hunting?!"
I gasped, knowing that things were getting more and more evil, and I watched more and more intently to see what was going on.
