"Ahh There was a terrible scream from behind the statue of the City God!
"Humph! Who was I at that time, it turned out that a lonely ghost came here to steal incense! Huang Tieshan put away the peachwood sword, replaced it with a ghost-killing talisman, took out a compass from his pocket, the pointer of the compass rotated wildly, Huang Tieshan pinched it with one hand, took the compass with one hand, and slapped it hard towards a place!
"Slow!" Seeing this, I hurriedly grabbed Huang Tieshan's hand.
"Qin Sheng, what are you stopping me for? A lonely ghost actually ran to this city god temple to steal incense, I have to beat her soul today! Huang Tieshan said angrily.
"Oops," I patted Huang Tieshan on the back, "Didn't this female ghost harm us?" It's just stealing some incense. ”
"Humph!" Huang Tieshan snorted coldly, "People and ghosts have different paths! ”
After Huang Tieshan said this, there was a sudden burst of sobbing voices in the City God Temple, "Thank you...... Thank you ......."
I paused, "Are you thanking me?" ”
I followed the source of the sound and saw a woman in a long dress crouching in the corner and sobbing quietly. The two eyes looked at me pitifully, if it was a normal person, I would definitely go forward to comfort her, but I could conclude from the ghost aura emanating from her that this woman was a ghost. Strangely, I don't feel any resentment in this woman.
"What's your name?" Ignoring Huang Tieshan's dissuasion, I walked forward and pulled the female ghost up.
"My name is Wind Chime,......," the woman sobbed.
"Why are you here? And I don't feel any resentment in you, why have you become a lonely ghost? I asked a little confused, I don't know why, I don't feel that the woman in front of me will not pose any threat to me, so I am not wary of her at all.
"I ......" the wind chimes didn't say it.
"What's wrong?" I was a little puzzled, "If there is anything, you can just say it, and I will help you decide." ”
"I've been dead for thousands of years......," the woman sobbed, "it was my father-in-law who killed me, and he starved to death in this temple for the sake of his career, ignoring our mother and daughter...... and starved to death."
"I said why were you so happy when I gave you incense?" I nodded and said, "Then who is your father-in-law?" Why don't I feel the slightest resentment from you? ”
"It doesn't matter who my husband is, because I love him, so no matter what he does, I won't hate him......," the woman said, biting her lip.
"Still an infatuated ghost." Huang Tieshan glanced at the woman disdainfully and said.
"Brother Huang, be a little sympathetic." I glanced at Huang Tieshan, "She's pitiful too." ”
"Pathetic? The poor must have something to hate, have you not heard of the different ways of men and ghosts? Nonsense is nonsense, never taken seriously! Huang Tieshan said with a solemn face, what Huang Tieshan said is right, because in the eyes of Taoism, when you encounter a ghost, you have to suppress it, believe in ghosts, and making transactions with ghosts is the most taboo thing. Catching ghosts, exorcising ghosts, and killing ghosts are all about accumulating yin virtue.
"Ugh." I shook my head helplessly, "Forget it, forget it, you go, don't let us see you again, be careful when you steal anything in the future, in case someone with disgusting intestines sees you, then you'll be finished." I said, then waved my hand.
"It's daylight...... I...... I can't get out...... And I don't have a place to go, I've lived in this place for thousands of years, the City God Temple has been built over and over again, and I've always lived here ......" The female ghost shook her head aggrievedly.
"This ...... All right. I nodded and agreed, "Since you have always lived here and never gone out to harm people, I will not embarrass you." It's just that this yin and yang are separated, and it's not a matter for you to stay here all the time. I said.
"Hmm!" When the woman heard me say this, her face immediately rejoiced, "Thank you, thank you, you are such a good person!" ”
"I hope you can be a good ghost too." Huang Tieshan interjected.
"Hmm......" the woman replied embarrassedly, "No one has come to this City God Temple for more than ten years, what are you doing here this time?" The woman asked.
"We ......" As soon as I was halfway through my words, I was covered by Huang Tieshan, "Brother Qin, we can't tell her everything, be careful that this is a female ghost's ** technique!" When Huang Tieshan said this, I felt much more sober, and I don't know why the woman in front of me was able to let me down my guard naturally.
"Haha," the woman laughed, "I'm all ghosts, what are you afraid I know?" Even if you don't tell me, I know what you're here for. The woman straightened up and said.
"Oh?" I was a little curious, "Tell me what we are here for." ”
"Aren't you here for the treasures in the dark palace?" The woman smiled and said.
"The Dark Palace?" Huang Tieshan's eyes lit up when he heard this, "What dark palace?" ”
The woman was a little puzzled, "Don't you know about this dark palace?" It's strange, every time people come here, they look for the dark palace, why don't you know? Are you really here to offer incense? The woman asked.
"Wait a minute!" I immediately waved my hand, "Where is the dark palace you are talking about?" What's hidden inside? ”
"For the sake of you just saving my life, I'll tell you." The woman smiled, "There is nothing in that dark palace, but there is a small box, that small box is hidden, even I can hardly find it, there are so many dead people in it, it is scary, oh yes, I am also a dead person." The woman said with a pout.
"You say people from before came looking for things? Who are they? Huang Tieshan grasped the point and asked.
"Huh? There are monks, Taoist priests, emperors, concubines, and ordinary people. The woman pondered for a while and said, "But it was all hundreds of years ago, and no one asked about this temple for hundreds of years, until eleven years ago, an old man came to this temple to grope for something, and I saw a gossip mirror hanging from his waist, so I hid and didn't dare to come out." The woman said.
"Huh? Eleven years ago? Did the old man say anything? I asked.
The woman nodded, "He said, what did he say about the Emperor Star entering the world, you have to quickly find out the things and destroy them, otherwise the world will be in chaos or something." ”
"What?" Huang Tieshan was taken aback, "Then did he find it in the end?" ”
The woman shook her head, "That old man is a bit stupid, he couldn't find the mechanism after looking for a long time, and finally returned in vain." Do you want that box too? The woman asked rhetorically.
"Hmm." I nodded, "Do you know what's in that box?" ”
"Yes," replied the woman, "that box contains a thousand-year-old rootless wood, which can grow rootless fire, but I don't know exactly what it does, but people who have been here before occasionally mention what kind of human pitts." The woman said in deep thought.
"Brother Huang!" I grabbed Huang Tieshan's hand in surprise, "Rootless wood, rootless fire!" If the wood fire has no roots, it will be bright! Take the upper three clears, enter the lower three poles, and it can become a prosperous world! Do you remember this phrase? "I recited a sentence of the Dharma that Master had given me to Huang Tieshan.
"What? Isn't this the theory of Taoism? How do you ......" Huang Tieshan said halfway through his words, and quickly patted his head, "Rootless wood, rootless fire, wood fire without roots is clear!" Isn't that the wood fire bright! This thousand-year-old rootless wood must be the key to solving the mystery of the first human skin map! Huang Tieshan turned his head in surprise, "That, can you take us into this dark palace?" ”
"Uh......" the woman hesitated, "all right, but don't scare you." As the woman spoke, she picked up the statue of the city god, and a big pit suddenly appeared on the wooden floor, and Huang Tieshan and I fell down defenselessly.
"Hahaha." Then the woman came down, "I said, don't scare you, it's not broken, right?" ”
"It's okay," I stood up and patted the dirt off my body, "where is the rootless tree?" ”
"The Rootless Tree is here!" Suddenly, there was a fierce sound from inside the dark dark palace, and then I felt a pain in my abdomen.
