Chapter 516: Strange Taoist Temple
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that the whole thing was chaotic and complicated and had no clue, so I could only say to Gao Lingkai: "I can't find anything here for the time being, let's go around and see if there are any other houses nearby to inquire about who lives in this house!" ”
Gao Lingkai naturally had no opinion.
We walked around the house again, making sure we couldn't find any other clues, and then we left the thatched house and walked casually over a large mountain.
It's a pity that I walked all the way to the foot of the mountain, and circled the mountain for half a circle, but I didn't find any householders.
Seeing that the sun was setting in the west, Gao Lingkai proposed to stay in that thatched house for the night to see if anything strange would happen at night.
I'll think about it for a moment, if what Bai Siqiang said about seeing a ghost is true, then stay here tonight, maybe wait until the ghost appears.
Anyway, Gao Lingkai and I are not afraid of ghosts, but it is possible to find some clues from ghosts.
So I nodded in agreement.
We tried to get back to the thatched house before it was completely dark.
Because there were two coffins parked in the room where we entered, that is, the hall as the villagers say, although both were empty, and one of them had fallen to the ground, we still felt panicked.
So we went into the bedroom on the left, removed the bed board of the bedroom and put it on the ground, and after a brief meal, Gao Lingkai and I lay down on the same bed board one by one to rest.
It's a pity that nothing happened that night.
The next day, we went around the four circles again, and we didn't find any residents, but on the edge of a cliff, we saw a Taoist temple.
The temple was not large, just a small courtyard wall, surrounded by four or five houses.
Above the gate of the courtyard is the name of the Taoist temple: Wuyun Temple.
"The Taoist temples in other places are called Qingyun Temple and Baiyun Temple, why is it called a dark cloud temple here! Hidden in this deep mountain, worshipping a god can be tired to death, but I am afraid that there will be no foreign incense! Gao Lingkai said.
Actually, I thought the same thing as him.
But I didn't have an interface, so I went up and knocked on the courtyard door.
The door was opened by an old man in his sixties, who looked very deaf and mute, and he couldn't hear a word when we talked to him, just babbling and gesturing.
We had to compare with him, saying that we wanted to go into the view, but the old man didn't know if he didn't understand what we meant, so he always stopped the door and didn't let us in.
Just as we were helpless, we heard someone coughing, and when I looked up, I saw a Taoist coming out of the temple facing the gate and glancing at us coldly.
The man looked quite young, in his forties at most, with a swarthy face and a beard under his chin.
He was wearing a black Taoist uniform and a black Taoist crown on his head.
"Can the Taoist chief let us enter the temple to worship God, and beg for saliva by the way?" Gao Lingkai asked loudly.
Unexpectedly, the Taoist was still cold and cold, and said: "This view is not open to the public, you want to drink water, not far to the west, there is a stream!" ”
As soon as I finished speaking, I was about to turn around and enter the temple, and I hurriedly said in a loud voice: "We have something we want to ask the Taoist master, and I hope the Taoist chief will give me advice!" ”
The man stopped, but ignored me, and went into the temple.
The deaf and dumb old man who opened the door couldn't help but say anything, and directly closed the courtyard door heavily.
"This stinky Taoist priest is really unreasonable!" Gao Lingkai said.
"He has been hiding in the mountains for a long time, and it is normal for him to be unreasonable!" I answered casually.
Gao Lingkai had a whim and said, "You say...... What kind of grass man's magic could it be that it was passed down from this strange Taoist temple? And you said that the bearded man has very high martial arts, could it be that he learned from this Taoist who doesn't understand people? ”
I feel that he is very likely to be right, in fact, when I first saw this temple, I already had such thoughts.
Although this Dao person doesn't seem to look much longer than the bearded man, it is normal for a person like this to be younger than his actual age.
Of course, it is also possible that this black-clothed Taoist is not the master of the bearded man, but the senior brother of the bearded man.
I was secretly thinking in my heart, Gao Lingkai couldn't help but say again: "Otherwise, let's just shout outside, see if this bull's nose is willing to let us in!" ”
I've already thought about what I'm talking about, so I shook my head and said, "That bearded man's martial arts are already very high, if this black-clothed Taoist is really the bearded master, or a senior brother, then his ability must be higher, plus...... There is also the evil art of the straw man, let's rush into it, I'm afraid that it won't be pleased! ”
"Not necessarily!" Gao Lingkai pursed his lips unconvinced, "Don't forget that you have a few big killing weapons on your body, no matter how strong his martial arts are, no matter how powerful his evil arts are, if you throw a strong light bullet, his eyes will still be blind!" ”
I hurriedly glared at him, lowered my voice and said, "It's best not to say this kind of thing, once the people inside hear it, we won't have a magic weapon to win!" ”
Gao Lingkai smiled and said, "Do you really think that they can hear us clearly across a courtyard wall like the heroes in the movie!" ”
"It's better to be careful!" I say.
"So what now?" Gao Lingkai asked again.
"I think it's better to wait for the investigation to be clear, to determine that the grass man is from this Taoist temple, and then we'll see what to do!" I say.
Seeing that the time was not early, Gao Lingkai and I walked in the direction of the mountain, and by the way, we looked for any other households.
I didn't expect to meet two men digging bamboo shoots on the road.
Gao Lingkai and I were busy asking the two men about the thatched house, and one of the men said: "There is indeed a family living over there, it seems to be surnamed ......."
He frowned and thought, and I hurriedly answered: "Is it surnamed Yu?" ”
"It's not the surname Yu, it should be the surname ......"
He was still thinking, my mind turned sharply, and I continued: "Surname Liao?" ”
"Yes, yes, surnamed Liao!" The man immediately nodded, and then asked me again, "Since you know their surname is Liao, why do you still ask us?" ”
"We used to be here, we got lost and borrowed a bowl of water from their house to drink! This time I went into the mountains to visit, but who knew that there was no one at home, so I wanted to inquire! I said, "Naturally, it's the same as it really is.
"They've been gone for a long time, right?" The man said, "Now that the development outside is so fast, most of the residents in the mountains have moved outside, who still stays in the mountains and drinks the northwest wind!" ”
His words made him laugh with the other man.
"Then is this surnamed Liao inconvenient to walk on both legs?" Gao Lingkai asked.
"I went to their house more than 10 years ago, and then our family moved out, so I haven't seen their family since!" The man replied, pondering, "I remember that the only son of their family had just married a wife, but I didn't see anyone in their family who had bad legs!" His mother was dead at that time, and Liao Laohan was left unless he was old, and his legs and feet might not be very good! ”
"Is this old man Liao still there?" I asked.
"I don't know about this, I should be dead!" The man said.
"What about this...... Liao Laohan's son, do you know more about the situation? Like what...... Who is his wife? ”
"I really don't know about this!" The man shook his head, "It seems that the man surnamed Liao has worshiped the head of Wuyun Dao as a teacher, and his wife ...... It should also be a female disciple of the Dark Cloud Dao Master, right? They should be a senior brother married to a younger sister! ”
The man wasn't quite sure, but I heard it rewarding, but unexpected.
What I gained was that I probably knew the surname of that family, and it was basically certain that the evil art of the grass man was spread from the dark cloud view.
Unexpectedly, I thought the male corpse was Liao Heihu, after all, the puppet he was holding in his hand had this name written on it.
But the male corpse was obviously caught by some evil art, so his skin and flesh were already blackened, and he was able to pinch people's necks and ask people for help.
And he had a seal on his eye, which must have been to suppress his soul.
In other words, if these evil arts really came from the Dark Cloud Temple, and Liao Heihu was a disciple of the Dark Cloud Temple, then it was unlikely that the male corpse would be Liao Heihu.
- Unless Liao Heihu committed an unforgivable sin, such as betraying his master, he was personally attacked by other disciples of the Wuyun Temple, or simply the Wuyun Dao Master, and used evil magic to seal Liao Heihu's soul, so that Liao Heihu fell into a tragic situation of death without stiffness, life and death!
This kind of inference made me shudder, because if this was the case, then the method of the dark cloud view would really be too vicious and too dark.
I prefer to believe that the male corpse is not Liao Heihu.
"Is Liao Heihu a very burly beard?" I asked again.
"Beard? No way! The man immediately replied, "Anyway, Liao Heihu more than ten years ago was eighteen or nineteen years old, white and clean, and he looks quite handsome!" As for whether he has grown a beard after more than ten years, I don't know! But his figure is not very burly, just like ......"
He looked me up and down and added, "It should be like you!" ”
I'm a little confused.
If that bearded man is not Liao Heihu, then why did the bearded man appear in the thatched house of the Liao family? And attack me without saying a word?
Could it be that the bearded man is Yu Lianlian's husband? He knew that I saved Wang Juan and harmed Yu Lianlian, so he was avenging his wife?
Not right either!
Because if Yu Lianlian really had a husband, and her husband had such a high level of kung fu, Yu Lianlian should not and did not dare to seduce Bai Siqiang, and even wanted Bai Siqiang to divorce and marry her.
There is another problem: the straw man under Juan's bed must have been done by Yu Lianlian, otherwise after I woke up Wang Juan, Yu Lianlian would not have suffered a backlash.
In other words, Yu Lianlian must be the female apprentice of the Dark Cloud Dao Master.
And this man who digs bamboo shoots said that Liao Heihu married the female apprentice of Wuyun Dao Chang.
So Yu Lianlian, will she be the female apprentice who married Liao Heihu?
If so, where is Liao Heihu now? Why can he tolerate Yu Lianlian going behind his back to find other men?
If not, could it be that Wuyun Dao Chang has two female apprentices, one is married to Liao Heihu, and the other is Yu Lianlian?
In the end, what is the connection between the bearded, Yu Lianlian, Liao Heihu, and Bai Siqiang?
