Chapter 6: The Secret of Nanshan Village

She pierced the little monk's chest with the knife, and I bounced off the ground and pushed her away.

"You're sick, aren't you? You're murder! ”

At this time, looking at the little monk again, he had no breath at all, and a puddle of carrion was piled on the ground.

I remembered the way Yu Nian's hand was up and down just now, and I only felt a chill all over my body.

Yu Nian picked up a piece of skin on the back of his neck with the tip of the knife and said to me, "He was poisoned by corpses like you, and after the poison, he hallucinated, poked his eyes blind, swallowed stones, and cut his throat. I don't kill him, he only has pain left, so it's better to break it sooner. ”

I looked at where she was pointing, and there were two rows of pitch-black tooth marks, exactly the same as the ones on my hands.

It stands to reason that such an obvious scar on the back of his neck, if it had been before, I should have noticed it. So it seems that this little monk should be poisoned after me, but why did he get sick so early?

"How long does it take for this corpse poison to go from poisoning to poisoning?"

"No more than twelve hours."

I looked at my hand and estimated the time. It's been more than 12 hours since I was bitten.

Yu Nian may have seen my doubt, and only said, "This is the second favor I want you to help me with." ”

It seems that my physique may be different, and just when I wanted to ask for clarification, Yu Nian had already turned his head to study the murals on the wall, thoughtfully.

"My mind is full of question marks right now, and if you don't tell me clearly, I'll vomit blood and die. How true is the old queen's story and how much is false? What does this have to do with me? Who are you? ”

She didn't look at me, but reached out to the mural and spoke as if to herself.

The temple was a slaughterhouse before liberation, and the monks in the temple were a group of butchers. Later, the common people had a bleak life, and they couldn't even eat food, let alone meat.

Business is not good, and the slaughterhouse is naturally yellow.

Later, somehow, these people said that they had escaped into the empty gate under the guidance of a master, and felt that they had killed too many beings in the first half of their lives, and they wanted to use the second half of their lives to eat fasting and recite Buddha to atone for their sins, so they set up their own portal and built a small temple on this mountain.

In the famine years, the temple opened a warehouse to release grain and help the people, and those who came and went became the monks in the mouths of the people.

So far, the incense in the temple has continued to this day.

But the fact is that these fake monks are just to cheat the people out of incense money to make a living, and they don't have six pure roots at all.

The queen is still lustful and greedy, gambling, eating meat and drinking.

They stole a pig from the people's house and drove it to the temple.

Just after slaughtering, it was found that the pig was suffering from a very serious skin disease and could not be eaten at all, so it was thrown into a stream at the back of the village.

It was a scorching heat, and the dead pigs quickly deteriorated, polluting the entire river. After drinking the water from the well, the people became sick.

The old queen opened her eyes for this matter, and she saw that it was the evil made by the monks in the temple early in the morning, so she came to the door to ask for an explanation.

The monk feared that what he had done would be revealed, so he began to spread the word that the plague was related to the old emperor.

On the one hand, there was a high-ranking monk who had attained enlightenment, and on the other hand, a crazy old woman, the people in the village quickly listened to the slander.

The man who killed the old queen pushed the old queen into the well and stoned him to death.

After the madness subsided, the village returned to peace. Bad people die and are worshiped by incense. The village was peaceful and spent nearly a hundred years.

After Yu Nian finished speaking, he slowly clenched his hands. There was sympathy and hatred in that look.

But even so, when facing the soul of the old emperor, Yu Nian did not have the slightest mercy, which made me more curious about how much this woman lived.

"So the soul of the old queen has not been dispersed, just to be able to take revenge one day? But now the people in the temple and the people in the village are no longer the same people as they used to be. ”

"But her blood and tears, she always has to rely on, and she always has to hate something."

I got so much information in a moment that I couldn't figure it out after thinking about it for a long time.

From the conversation between Yu Nian and the old queen just now, it can be heard that this natural disaster is because of the old queen's resentment. The woman that Lao Meng and I saw in the abbot's room that day was the old emperor who was inhaling yang energy, and the abbot was still kept in the dark.

"So, those heads in the village are missing, and they are all done by the old emperor?"

Yu Nian looked at me and shook his head.

"Let's go." She lifted her feet and walked away.

"Where are you going?"

"Help you detoxify."

As soon as I heard this, I didn't have the heart to care about what was not a head, and I only thought about my own life.

But just as we were about to leave, a light suddenly lit up at the top of the steps of the corridor, indicating that someone had come in.

The basement was so empty that there was nowhere to hide.

Yu Nian hurriedly turned around and groped for the mural, and finally seemed to find a mechanism at the location where the old queen lady fell into the well. After three knocks with his knuckles, a stone door suddenly rose in front of him.

After Yu Nian pulled me in, he thought about it, picked up the little monk on the ground and threw it in, and then put down the stone door.

Only the footsteps of the two could be heard, followed by an argument.

The first to speak was a male voice, and I immediately heard the abbot's voice, "Damn, let him run!" ”

The other replied, "But he can't see or hear without evidence, and even if he wants to run, he can't get out." ”

I looked at the little monk on the ground and realized that his name was Wuzhen.

"How did the bed board open? A bunch of rice buckets, even a dying person can't stand it! ”

"He's useless now, why are you keeping him?"

"I think the boy who was bitten and his brother will be a scourge sooner or later, and the fewer people who know about it, the better. Otherwise, if the incense in the temple is broken, we will not have a way to live. ”

Listening to the meaning of the abbot's words, he knew that his ancestors had done a lack of virtue, but this thing alone would not kill people without evidence, what were they afraid of?

Another person said, "That kid has been bitten for so many days, do you think he has been poisoned by now?" ”

"To live to see a man, to die to see a corpse. If you can't find him before dark today, you'll end up with the same as nothing, and feed me the corpse. Now go and grab the rest first, and be careful not to be seen. ”

After the two of them finished speaking, they left, and I was relieved in the stone gate.

But suddenly remembered the last sentence he said, the rest of the one?

I jumped up all of a sudden, trying to open the door, but I couldn't do anything for a long time, "Hurry up, we have to get out of here quickly, Lao Meng is in danger!" ”

Yu Nian twisted a bulge on the ground, and the stone gate rose easily.

"You don't want to detoxify?"

I didn't think about it, I ran up the steps, and only said that it was important to save Lao Meng.

Yu Nian and I went back the way we came, and while no one in the courtyard noticed that we were blending into the crowd.

I hurriedly ran into the resting hall and looked around, and found that there was not a single comrade-in-arms. After inquiring, I found out that it was the squad leader who took them out on a mission.

I hurriedly borrowed a mobile phone to call the squad leader, and when I asked, I found out that Lao Meng was not with them at all.

In the morning, Lao Meng said that it was convenient to go to the forest for stomach trouble, but he didn't come back until the time of the gathering.

I said that I would look for it if it was okay, but in fact, my heart was already starting to hair.

The appearance of the little monk in the basement is unforgettable for my life, if Lao Meng also becomes like that, maybe even if I die and turn to ashes, I will not be able to forgive myself.

I asked for the exact location, but the squad leader couldn't tell me.

I hung up the phone in a hurry, turned around and left, but was stopped by Yu Nian.

"You have a special physique, so the corpse poison on your body has not flareed up. But I don't know how long you'll be able to hold out, and now it's hard for you to protect yourself, and every second of delay is wasted. ”

I clearly knew that I needed Yu Nian's help, so I had to explain, "Lao Meng accompanied me to Nanshan Pass to find Du Chunmei's head because he helped me, so the abbot suspected that he had something to do with this matter." You also heard what those two people said just now, Lao Meng is very dangerous now. ”

Yu Nian was not persuaded by me, but just looked at me coldly.

My donkey came up, and I didn't bother to talk nonsense, so I turned around and left, "Lao Tzu is rotten, and he will die if he dies." Today, you don't care about me, I just go. ”

I bet that Yu Nian can't let me go at this time, not to mention whether she is worried about me or not, just that she is in such a hurry to help me detoxify, there must be some purpose of her own.

Her goal was not achieved, how could she watch me die, to put it bluntly, I still have value for her now.

The two of us went around to the forest behind the rockery, and the abbot told us that it was okay to stay overnight, but we couldn't move around at will, especially the forest behind it.

I heard that there is an underground palace, and the underground palace is dedicated to the relics of several previous monks.

Lao Meng has never been a rule-abiding person, so he can indeed do this kind of thing when he comes here to go to the toilet.

This forest is strange to say, it looks lush and green from the outside, but in fact the trees are very thin inside, only the little bit at the top of the tree is green, and the trunk is all withered yellow.

I grabbed a piece of bark and found that there was no moisture, and it was almost dried into powder.

"This tree is dead, why are the leaves still green?" I picked up a fallen leaf on the ground and took a look, it turned out that the leaf had been painted with green paint, and I broke it open to find that it was still a dead leaf.

What does this mean, I've heard of painting walls, but I've never heard of painting and brushing leaves.

Could it be that the temple is engaged in a face-saving project in order to select a four-star temple?

The two of us shuttled through the forest for about an hour, and unexpectedly found the mouth of a cave.

Walking into the cave, a faint smell of sour rancid came from me.

As we went deeper and deeper, the smell of sour rot became heavier and heavier, accompanied by moisture and cold, and the smell made people dizzy.

In the next two seconds, the originally quiet cave suddenly heard the sound of rustling.

It seems to be a swarm of insects, and it is like some kind of bird, and there are hundreds of them.
