Chapter 149: Yaksha Temple
Tai Sui was willing to delay, and immediately took Leng Yue to the western suburbs.
There are four mountains around Big Yancheng, and there are villages near the east, south, and north mountains, and the population density seems to be not small, but it is strange that only West Mountain is called the western suburbs, as if only this deserted old mountain is a part of Big Yancheng, and the villages in the other three directions are excluded from Big Yancheng.
Tai Sui thought this was very strange, so he asked Leng Yue if there was any allusion here.
But Leng Yue said that this big salt city was actually a deserted city a few decades ago, and only a few homeless people lived in it, and later it was the Leng family who renovated the city to give it what it is today, and as for the allusions related to this city, they were also forgotten in that era when the whole city was deserted.
As for why Xishan is called the western suburbs, Leng Yue can't even say it, but I heard that this statement was found from an early county chronicle, but the county chronicle was originally incomplete and very mutilated, and it was almost impossible to learn the origin of this name from there.
Listening to Leng Yue's words, Tai Sui faintly felt that this big salt city did not seem to be an auspicious place in the first place, after all, in Changkan's original setting, there was also a case of ghouls here.
The mountain to the west of the city is indeed a place that has been completely forgotten, and after entering the mountain, there is not even a decent mountain road, Tai Sui can only take the cold moon to grope for directions in the forest full of dry grass and thorns.
When Mrs. Wen entered the mountain, she must have taken this middle road, it seems that she is really eager to ask for a son, otherwise she will not be willing to suffer this crime if she is a wealthy wife.
The two searched in the forest for a long time, and finally found a dilapidated old temple in the hinterland of the mountains and forests.
This temple is really broken to the point that it can no longer be broken, although the temple wall has not completely collapsed, but it has also fallen into a great slope, and many places on the roof can see huge depressions, the strange thing is that they are all tilted and sunken into that way, but the walls and roofs just do not collapse, as if, this temple is made of noodles, defeated but not broken, wilted but not collapsed.
Tai Sui was afraid that there would be something strange in the temple, so he went to explore the situation first, and made sure that there was no big problem, so he beckoned Leng Yue to enter the door.
After entering the temple gate, I found that the reason why this temple can wilt and not collapse is because it has a very special architectural skeleton, and the inner walls of the entire temple are all supported by a special animal bone, which is not particularly hard, but it is very tough, and I don't know how many years it has been displayed here, and it has not been corrupted at all.
In the temple, most of the statues of the gods stand at the bottom of the temple, but the statues in this temple stand in the center of the whole space, and the statues have long been broken, as if they were broken by life, and now they leave a one-foot-high base.
As soon as Tai Sui looked at the legs standing on the base, he immediately reacted, the "god statue" here should be the kind of dominatrix statue seen in the Wen family's old mansion, and the crane-footed soles were exactly the same.
Everyone in the world knows that the dominatrix is not a good thing, but I didn't expect that someone would worship them in the temple.
After carefully observing the stone statue base for a while, Tai Sui pricked up his ears and listened carefully to the movement in the temple, and when he entered the door just now, he noticed that in the depths of this temple, there was an abnormal echo, because the footsteps of him and Yunshang were very soft, and the echo caused by it was also very weak, Tai Sui could only judge that the sound should come from the ground.
Tai Sui tried to stomp his feet lightly on the bottom plate twice, and sure enough, about the end of the temple hall, there was another almost inaudible echo.
After determining the location of the sound source, Tai Sui lit the fire and touched it with Leng Yue.
The only place where this temple has light is the narrow doorway, and there is no other window, and the further you go inside, the darker the light becomes, and finally it is completely dark, but fortunately, there is a red light on the fire fold, which can illuminate a small area under the feet of Tai Sui and Leng Yue.
Leng Yue followed behind Tai Sui, she couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable in her heart, she suddenly remembered that not long ago, Tai Sui and the Thief Saint had walked through the depths of the underground, although she didn't know what happened to the two of them underground, but just this oppressive darkness should make them uncomfortable.
The thought that if he put himself in that environment, he might soon be tormented by the darkness and go crazy, Leng Yue became more and more uncomfortable.
This discomfort is not just for herself.
"Watch your step!" Tai Sui's voice suddenly interrupted Leng Yue's thoughts.
She immediately stopped, and saw Tai Sui leaning down, pressing the light of the fire fold on the ground, shining thinly.
On the ground, there was a very hard-looking hemp mat, with a lot of dust on it, but the mat was very intact.
Tai Sui looked at it carefully and said, "This mat is new." He grabbed the corner of the mat and pulled it up.
Only then did Leng Yue see through the faint light on the fire fold that under the mat, there was a large cave that had collapsed.
Tai Sui immediately took out the second fire fold, lit it, and threw it into the hole.
The hole is not deep, the fire fold quickly landed, standing at the entrance of the hole, you can see the general situation at the bottom of the cave, as far as the eye can see, you can see the light of the fire fold illuminate some closely arranged floor tiles, the hole is also a man-made space.
Tai Sui stared at the neat floor tiles, and his brows were tightly twisted into a Sichuan character.
This hole is definitely not a natural collapse, because at the bottom of the cave, you can't see the scattered gravel and rotten bricks, and this mat, which was also artificially laid on the hole not long ago, and it is estimated that the time to pave it will not exceed a month.
In other words, it is believed that after Mrs. Wen was buried, someone came here again and tried to hide the hole.
After a moment of silence, Tai Sui jumped into the hole, and when he landed, the stale smell in the cracks of the floor tiles was suddenly squeezed out, Tai Sui couldn't help but snort twice, the rancid smell in the smell was too strong, as if under the floor tiles, there were large pieces of rotten flesh.
When Leng Yue jumped down from the hole, Tai Sui first raised his hand to pick her up, and then quickly took out a face towel and asked Leng Yue to cover her nose.
This trip came out with Leng Yue, originally to let her go through the wind and waves, it is said that she should not be so protective of her, but Tai Sui just couldn't help it.
After Leng Yue covered his nose, Tai Sui squatted down again, and used his fingers to pry out a large bluestone brick on the ground, it was not carrion, it was indeed a compacted soil layer, but the soil was mixed with a kind of grease that was strongly corrosive to the skin and flesh, and the rancid smell was emitted from this grease.
Tai Sui pondered in his heart, this should be a very special kind of corpse oil. Take a hundred plating on the latest chapter of "Don't Mess with Tai Sui Paw Book House" to read for free for the first time.
