Chapter 3 Lingnan Mountain Walkers

I saw that a large area of the wall of Niuwang Temple, which was faintly visible in the distance, was slowly collapsing, as if something was grabbing the wall and pulling it down.

The crowd began to exclaim noisily, but fortunately, our location was far away from the place where the change occurred, and it was Daping Dam, which was relatively safe.

"Please don't panic, stay calm, and leave here in an orderly manner." The personnel who have been responsible for maintaining order at the scene held a loudspeaker, and while contacting the county brigade, they comforted and organized the evacuation of the crowd, and at the same time assigned a few people to immediately go to the Niuwang Temple to check the situation.

I looked around, but I didn't find any trace of the lotus stamen, and I was thinking about whether to go to the Ushio Temple to see the situation, when someone suddenly tapped me on the shoulder.

I turned my head to see that the man was looking at me with a smile on his face, and he didn't know when he had a big black backpack on his shoulder. I said, "I don't seem to know you, Brother Wolf." ”

His face changed, and he said, "My surname is not Wolf, my name is Dumas!" "I'll go! Your name is Stallion? "I think it's too, how can anyone call it a stallion.

He said angrily: "Grandma's, Lao Tzu's name is Dumas, Zhong!" A single person next to a Chinese middle is not a seed in Hezhong! ”

I asked, "Then why did your father have to give you that name?" ”

"Because my dad likes to read Alexandre Dumas's books, hey, what am I telling you about this, it doesn't matter, what matters is, do you want to know what's going on here?" He said.

I saw that he should not have any malicious intent, and asked, "Brother Stallion, do you know what's going on here?" The stallion said proudly: "Of course I know, there is a deep underground here, and for the time being, I don't know why, someone blew up here." I didn't want to talk nonsense with him and asked, "How do you know?" The stallion pointed to his nose and said, "Nothing in the world can escape my nose." By the way, what's your name? ”

I smiled and said, "My name is Ouyang Yilife, your nose?" That's right, the stallion is paired with a Tian Boguang's nose, which is very harmonious. ”

The stallion saw that I had been teasing him, and he was a little angry, and said: "Grandma's, I'm a stallion, and you're still dying, don't believe it, I'm going to see the excitement, do you want to go?" ”

My curiosity was also very high, and I really wanted to see what was going on. Then he said: "Then there is a brother who works to lead the way!" ”

Due to the change just now, there are special people on the road leading to Niuwang Temple in front of them to block the idlers, etc., just waiting for the police to come and deal with it, although I want to force it over, I don't think it's difficult, but I don't want to get into trouble like this and affect me to satisfy my curiosity, so it's impossible to go from the right road.

I know the topography of Niuwangji very well, surrounded by five large mountains, there is only one dam in the middle, and a two-meter-wide path winds its way to Niuwangji Temple on the middle mountain, surrounded by lush forests, and behind Niuwangji is a very steep mountain cliff.

This is a typical pattern of five dragon arch beads, and if there is an ancient tomb, it is really an excellent feng shui treasure cave. I'm going to see how he gets there.

Now that everyone is almost gone, the torches have been extinguished a lot, and the sirens can be vaguely heard getting closer and closer, and the efficiency is really fast!

Still able to see the way forward by the moonlight, we followed the last group of men, and after walking for a while, the stallion looked left and right, patted me on the shoulder, and made a silent gesture to me, telling me to follow into the bushes by the side of the road.

When I entered the bushes, I asked, "How do you get to Niuwang Temple?" The stallion said angrily, "Who told you where the incident was?" Just keep coming with me, and you'll be killed! I was speechless for a while, so I had to follow him on.

The stallion asked me as he walked, "Brother Ouyang, do you believe it if I say that there is an ancient tomb down here?"

When I heard this, I thought in my heart, this man seems to be harmless to humans and animals, but he is testing me everywhere, what is his intention? It's hard to say now, let's take one step at a time, who told my curiosity to overcome everything.

replied quietly at the moment: "If there is an ancient tomb here, it will be discovered by experts as early as when the temple is renovated, and it will be your turn?" ”

When the stallion saw me choking him, he said disapprovingly: "The explosion just now, I can smell the explosion near here from afar (Note: When the main package of explosives explodes, due to the action of the detonation wave, another explosive package at a certain distance explodes. In other words, the explosion of a charge can cause the explosion of a charge isolated by an inert medium at a certain distance from it, a phenomenon called martyrdom. The smell of gunpowder is used by professional inverted teams when they open the road or run away. ”

When I heard this, I couldn't help but believe him that there was an ancient tomb underneath him, but even if I stood here now, I couldn't smell any gunpowder, could this kind of horse's nose really be smarter than a dog's?

According to legend, Lingnan mountain walkers have a strong sense of smell, and they can smell all kinds of smells brought by the soil under the shovel by sniffing with their noses, so in order to maintain the sensitivity of their noses, they generally avoid spicy things such as tobacco and alcohol.

In ancient times, for them, tomb robbery was regarded as a part-time job, digging graves when there was a tomb, and when the tomb could not be found, the leader would pass down the armor plate and gather in the mountains and forests to rob property. Of course, that was in ancient times, and now the Lingnan mountain walkers are basically extinct.

In the things that my grandfather taught me, there was also a slight mention of the opposite face, although this person is very three-eight, and he looks very obscene, but there is a trace of righteousness in his eyebrows and eyes, and he should not be a treacherous person.

If there are tombs here, I'll have to take a closer look at the topography. Niuwang Temple covers an area of eight acres, the left side of the gate is the bell tower, the right side is the academy, the middle is the Buddha hall, and there is a Sanqing hall at the back. From the collapse just now, it can probably be inferred that either the Buddha Hall or the Sanqing Hall suffered.

Wait, what's wrong, I didn't pay attention to it before, now I think it's very strange, the Sanqing Hall is dedicated to the original Tianzun, the moral Tianzun (Taishang Laojun) and the Lingbao Tianzun, who put the Sanqing Hall and the Buddha Hall in one temple? What is the purpose?

After a cup of tea, we have walked to the bottom of the small cliff behind the Niuwang Temple, and we can still see the eaves of the apse vaguely when we look up. The stallion let out a long exclamation, "That's probably the place." ”

I approached the cliff in front of me, pointed to the stallion and asked, "Is this it?" The stallion affirmed, "That's right! ”

I was about to choke him a few more words, but I heard a stirring of sand and stones, and the cliff in front of me began to crack, and suddenly a hand came out of it and grabbed me.

I couldn't catch off from being taken a step forward, and the stallion immediately came up and grabbed me, trying to pull me back, but suddenly a greater force came from that hand, pulling me and the stallion into the loose cliff, good fellow, could it be that the mutation just now has spread here?

I didn't have time to think about it, I felt like a gourd rolling down an inclined plane, and as I rolled down, I heard the stallion keep roaring, and I felt dizzy, and I didn't stop until I couldn't bear it and vomited.

I first closed my eyes and steadied myself, and after my head was clear, I reached out and scratched around, trying to figure out the situation I was in. I'm in a bunch of objects that resemble ocean balls.

I struggled to sit up, squinted my eyes and looked around, there was a subtle moonlight shining through, I could vaguely see that I fell into a pit the size of a swimming pool, and fortunately, this "ball pile" was only half a person high, so as not to completely submerge people, very strange, I didn't feel too panicked because of this sudden situation, as if I was an old driver, with the calm of the sky not panicking.

"Stallions! Stallion! I tried to contact the man, and although I wasn't afraid, I didn't want to face it alone when I was growing up and encountering this kind of thing for the first time.

"Your uncle! I'm not dead, you howl! The stallion's voice came from the other side of the pit, and the man who dragged us down, I haven't found out where he is yet.

After a brief panic just now, after we got used to the darkness here, we turned on the flashlight, groped our way out of the big pit, and then said that if we didn't know what these things were, it was best for us to get out as soon as possible.

After meeting up with the stallions, we tried to find an exit, but under the flashlight rays everywhere, we could only see a pitch black, and there was no end in sight, this place was so big!

As far as the eye can see, there is a mess of dirt and stones scattered everywhere, and this explosion seems to be not small!

The stallion stood up and jumped, and said: "I estimate that it is almost more than 200 meters away from the place where it fell just now, his grandmother's, who was caught by me and got the master down, the master must kill him!" But if we want to go up from here again, it's impossible, maybe that place was originally an exit, because the years are too long, it was buried, and the grandson was able to tear the two of us off together, it must be the reason why the explosion just now suddenly collapsed the road. ”

I pointed a flashlight not far away and said to the stallion, "You don't have to seek revenge on the man who brought us down, if you guessed correctly, he is already hanging." ”

The stallion looked at the beam of the flashlight, and sure enough, there was a humanoid object lying still.

We slowly approached and examined it closely. This person also had a little back, and when he fell, his upper body was outside the pit, and his lower body was in the pit, with his face facing the ground, and he probed the artery in his neck, and he was sure that he was dead. I couldn't help but be afraid for a while, if I was as unlucky as this person, I should have hung up.

The deceased was dressed in expedition camouflage and had an armband on his left arm, on which there were two bright red letters: A-S.

I asked what stallion A-S was, but the stallion boy seemed to not hear, and pointed to the "ocean ball" that was brought up when it fell next to the corpse and said, "We have to see what this thing is." ”

We gathered the beam of the torch on this small ball, which was a blood-red ball the size of an adult's fist, and we saw that the skin of this object was all orange peel, and it looked like a wooden fish used in Buddhism, and it was glazed in color, brown and black. Wearing gloves and gently pinching, it seems to feel a little soft.

"Ghost Blood Agate?" , the stallion and I said in unison.

The stallion laughed: "I thought only I knew, but I didn't expect you to be as knowledgeable as me." That's right, if this thing is not mistaken, it must be ghost blood agate, also called red stone egg jade, which is a rare treasure! ”

Ghost blood agate is said to be the best natural agate, but according to ancient records, this thing is made of ghost blood coagulation. As the old saying goes: "The horse's brain, the word is the blood of the evil ghost, condensed into this thing." In the past, the Yellow Emperor removed the evil spirits from all directions, and the demons filled the valley with all the rivers, accumulated blood into an abyss, and gathered bones like Yue.

In a few years, the blood clotted like stone, the bones were white as ashes, and the ointment flowed into a spring. "There is a lot of ghost blood in the field of Danqiu, and if it turns into Danshi, it will be yarded. The "horse brain" and "yard" here are the same as agate, and the so-called "agate, turned into ghost blood" in the legendary Yellow Emperor era is the ghost blood agate in front of you.

I said, "Don't you think it's weird that there are so many of these things here?" The stallion disagreed: "The treasures of the world, the virtuous live in it, the fortune teller said that I have atmospheric luck, it must be right, come and come, make a fortune at the moment!" With that, he was going to pack up and take it away.

"Whew!" When I was about to say something more, there was a strange noise from the corpse, and the stallion and I were startled, could it be that this person was not dead?

Safety first, the stallion and I moved away from the carcass and shone it with an electric flashlight, and immediately saw a scarlet eye and a distorted face.

Just die and become a zongzi? That's too fast, isn't it? I saw this corpse slowly stand up, and now there is no longer a corpse, I don't know what this thing is, let's call him a living corpse for the time being.

We noticed that there was a thread hanging from the navel of the living corpse, and on the other side of the line, it was the "ghost blood agate"! And when we found out that this living corpse stood up, it was about to pounce on us, and the movement was not slow! It is too late to analyse the association between such species.

I hurriedly said to the stallion: "Stallion, do you have any black donkey hooves, take them out!" "There's your sister's black donkey hooves, sir, I'm just here to travel and see the fun to play!" What the hell is this?,Scholar!? ”

"Wow!" Suddenly, the living corpse had already pounced on me, I hurriedly dodged left and right, bent down and hit the living corpse in the ribs with my elbow, and the living corpse was also beaten back a few steps, but immediately pounced on me again, "Stallion, come and help!" I shouted to the stallion.

The stallion didn't talk nonsense at this time, took out two sapper shovels from his big backpack, divided one of them, and slid quickly from the ground to me. This sapper shovel is a good thing, it can cut vegetables, dig the ground, and cut stones.

"Whew!" The living corpse quickly stood up again, and continued to pounce on me, hey, why is grandma's only pounce on me, there is a more lewd one over there, you don't look for it!

I held the sapper shovel with both hands and slapped it hard at the head of the living corpse, "click" for a lifetime, the head of the living corpse was sunk into a piece, but the sapper shovel was broken, "Stallion, is this sapper shovel a certain East Nine Pieces Nine Free Shipping?" This quality is really drunk! ”

The stallion responded, "Ouyang! When this thing is solved, I'll tell you where to buy it, okay, no, this thing is chasing you now, you lure the enemy, I'll be responsible for solving it! ”

Although the sapper shovel was broken, the remaining handle was still there, and I resisted the living corpse with all my might, and shouted to the stallion: "Stallion, the fighter is fleeting, speed!" "I saw the stallion pick up the sapper shovel and cut it into the neck of the corpse, shoveling up and falling on its head, clean and neat!

Seeing that this thing was solved, the stallion and I looked at each other with apprehension, sat down back to back, and gasped for air.

To describe such a long period in words, it only takes a minute or two to actually happen. From rolling down, to turning corpses into living corpses, to solving this thing, we all felt a little tired.

"Goo." Another noise was heard from the corpse. Hell, that's not over yet? Is this a ghost? I suddenly thought that the Buddha statues in Niuwang Temple and the Sanqing in the Sanqing Hall used to play often, and I always thought it was strange that the heads of these Buddha statues were slightly lower, especially the hanging Buddhas that were discovered later, as if they were staring into the abyss underground, they were sealing these ghost blood agate?

"Goo." The noise became louder, and I saw that the hands and feet of the headless living corpse began to twitch, and the body began to twist rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and at the same time let out "Zila! ".

Seeing this, the stallion and I immediately clenched the sapper shovel with both hands, ready to strike at any moment.

At this time, I suddenly heard the footsteps of Suosuo, and someone in the darkness behind him said: "This thing can only be burned with fire, and there is no way to kill it with something!" ”
