Volume 1, Ghost Town of the Bone Forest_Chapter 22, The Suspicious Well

It is indeed true to say that we were bold, and we said in our mouths back then, "How bold people are, how productive the land is." "Growing up, I was a fat man, and at the age of twenty, I dared to fight like many of my peers.

In the afternoon of the same day, we went to Xuanming Temple again to step on the point, because of the dizziness last time and some psychological shadows, I didn't dare to go in directly, so I let the fat man take the lead.

He wore a string of Buddhist beads, bowed three times at the gate of Xuanming Temple, and muttered: "The Buddha forgives ......"

Then he pushed the door and walked in, and after standing in the temple, the fat man waited for a few seconds before turning back and beckoning to me. I walked quickly to the gate of Xuanming Temple, also bowed three times, and then walked into the temple with my feet raised.

Maybe it was because the passerby ghost on his body was sent away, but there was no strange reaction when he entered Xuanming Temple this time. I waited a few seconds and then smiled and said, "Fatty, I'm fine." ”

"Don't talk nonsense, go and worship the Bodhisattva first, if we really go to the things inside, we have to ask the Bodhisattva for forgiveness first."

We don't actually know the rules and regulations in this, we just learn from the older generation. I walked in front of the Bodhisattva Buddha statue, because it was an empty temple with no people, so it was very deserted, the offering platform was full of dust, there was no lamp, and there was no incense ash in the incense burner. Even the Buddha statue looks a little old, but the fat man and I didn't dare to slack off, knowing that this temple was blessed by the Bodhisattva, so we hurriedly lit the incense we brought, and then the two of them bowed several times, and then inserted the incense into the incense burner.

After waiting for a while and not seeing anything wrong, we started to wander around the temple.

Now that I think about it, the fat man and I were really bold back then, and everything went down to the head of the Bodhisattva.

I went around the temple on both sides and found nothing. In fact, this is not surprising, Xuanming Temple is now an empty temple, and there are people who have the same idea as us to patronize it, even if it is not the business of dry beads, but if you get some valuable antiques, you can also exchange some money. Coupled with the destruction of the four olds during the Cultural Revolution, it is fortunate that this temple is still there.

"Did you find anything?"

I asked, after meeting the fat man.

"No, it's a bit of a broken door, not even a bottle or can." The fat man replied with a shake of his head.

I pondered for a while and said, "In this case, you go to the meditation room and have a look, I'll go around the backyard, and if I don't find it again, then go back." I always felt that it was not good. ”

With the mentality of giving it a last try, I separated from the fat man and continued the search. The backyard of Xuanming Temple is not large, about the size of half a basketball court, the bricks and stones on the ground are already full of weeds, and there is a big tree that has withered for many years in the upper right corner of the courtyard, and there is a well under the tree. I walked around the courtyard and saw a few clay pots, but the craftsmanship and workmanship were not old age.

"Hey, I still haven't gained anything......"

I sighed and sat down beside the well, ready to go back in a moment when the fat man came.

At this moment, there was a sudden movement behind me. It was like a knocking sound, and I was startled, and I hurriedly stood up and looked behind me. This is the place of the Bodhisattva, and if we do so disrespectfully, we may have angered the Bodhisattva. Put your hands together and say vigorously: "Bodhisattva Mo Blame, Bodhisattva Mo Blame ......"

The sound stopped after a few moments, and I had just settled down when I heard a few similar noises. This time, I heard it very clearly, and the sound seemed to come from under the well!

Hurriedly took out the amulet and the dagger given by the fat man, and the old people said that the well is very saying, either the dragon is hidden, or the yin is stored. It means that if there is water in the well, it is connected to the underground river, and there is a dragon king in the well. If there is a death in the well, and the sun has not been seen for a long time, there may be hidden yin qi and even ghosts. The ancient temple is empty, why is there a sound coming from the well?

I felt strange in my heart and did not dare to come closer, and the sound of the beating sounded a few times before falling silent again. This time, I waited for a long time, but I didn't hear again.

I gradually raised my courage, I held the dagger and slowly approached the well, and tried to look down, and suddenly someone tapped me on the shoulder from behind, and I shouted, raised the dagger and looked back, so as to stab the dagger out.

The fat man stood behind me in astonishment, and when he saw me raise his dagger, he hurriedly shouted, "Damn, it's me!" Don't do it! ”

I had already seen his face clearly, and hurriedly put away the dagger, and scolded: "How can you kid walk silently!" Scared me. ”

"What's wrong? Is there a situation? ”

The fat man saw that my expression was wrong, and hurriedly asked.

"There seems to be movement in this well, and I hear a few strange noises."

I pointed to the well in front of me, and the fat man looked down, and the well was dry, and I could see the bottom at a glance, it was black, but there was really nothing.

"Don't scare yourself, there's nothing in there."

The fat man waved his hand and said. I have indeed been a little nervous these days, and I was nervous when I heard the movement, so I put away the dagger and took a deep breath, and turned around and said, "Maybe I'm too nervous, have you noticed anything?" ”

"There's no fart, it's all empty, I think it's better to forget it. If you don't visit the thrift market another day, you might even try your luck. ”

The thrift market that the fat man said is called the morning market in northern dialect, which is opened near the Chenghuang Temple between five and six o'clock in the morning every morning, and most of the old gadgets left behind after the four old ones are sold, and there are some second-hand things that the state does not allow to be blatantly sold, such as Tibetan knives, sapper shovels, and even modified shotguns. If we can get a goblin-related thing at the thrift market, we're making a fortune.

"Okay, let's go back first."

I nodded, pulled the fat man and turned around and was about to leave, when suddenly there was another sound in the well behind me, this time I knocked several times in a row, and the fat man and I both listened to it really!

"Do you hear that? Fatso. ”

I asked in a low voice.

"I heard it, it came out of the well, and it seemed that there was something in it!"

At this time, the fat man also became nervous and hurriedly replied.

I turned around slowly, my eyes fixed on the surface of the well, what would be in the well? Ghosts? Probably not, this is an ancient temple! Could it be an earth beast? If it were an earth beast, the fat man and I would have taken the opportunity to make a fortune.

"Is it a ghost?"

The fat man asked, holding a string of Buddhist beads.

"Probably not, how dare the ghosts of the Bodhisattva's place come in? It could be an earth beast, but I don't know what it is. Do you have rope with you? ”

I asked back.

"What are you going to do?"

The fat man looked at me with puzzled eyes.

"Tie a stone with a rope and throw it into the well to see if you can hit a monster."

I can't help it. The fat man immediately got a masonry from the side, tied it to a rope, and then threw it into the dry well! It stands to reason that there must have been a sound when such a heavy stone fell into the well, but there was no sound at all!

"Why didn't there be a sound?"

The fat man asked, staring at the well.

"It's impossible to get to the end, I think maybe it's something, you pull the rope back, hurry up."

I shouted anxiously, and the fat man hurriedly pulled the rope back, but as soon as he moved his hand, his face immediately changed, and he didn't pull the stone up several times in a row, and his face was red. I saw that the situation was wrong and hurriedly stepped forward to help, when my hand was on the rope, the whole rope had been pulled straight, I used all my strength to pull back a little bit, but I didn't know what it was at the bottom of the well, the power was terrifying. The combined strength of the fat man and I is really not small, but I can't pull the stone up!

"There's definitely something down there! It's not necessarily our stone that's stuck. ”

The fat man cried out through gritted teeth.

"I don't know, damn it, I'll take a look."

I scolded, pulled out the dagger and walked towards the edge of the well, as soon as I let go, the fat man pulled even harder, his face was red, not to mention that even the green tendons on his neck were clearly visible.

I walked quickly to the well and looked down, and this time I really found a dark shadow! It's just that the well is relatively deep, and the light is not good, so I can't see clearly. But there was indeed a blurred shadow, and I turned around and shouted, "Fatty, there's something down there!" ”

As I was about to speak, the rope suddenly broke, and the fat man, who had used enough strength, fell into a dog and ate, and the bound stone was gone, and the rope was obviously cut!

"Are you alright?"

I asked, picking up the fat man.

"It's okay, what's up? Do you see what it is? ”

He dusted himself off and asked me.

"I don't see it clearly." I shook my head and muttered, "There really isn't a dragon in the well......
