Chapter 15: The Temple of Movement
I don't know how long he fell asleep, Yang Shuo slowly opened his heavy eyelids, and found that he was lying on the cold ground, and a strange gust of cold wind blew his whole body goosebumps.
"How am I outside?" Yang Shuo looked up and found that he was outside, not in the hotel, which made him feel a little unconvinced, but he pinched the flesh on his arm, it hurt terribly, all this was real and not he was dreaming.
The surrounding environment is a very simple street, and there are all kinds of shops around, all of which will write words and fortune-telling and other things, it is obvious that Yang Shuo's current location is still in a place on Water Street, and directly in front of him is the foot of a big mountain.
This mountain looks a little familiar, Yang Shuo seems to have seen it during the day, if he didn't guess wrong, it should be the back mountain of Water Street.
"What did she bring me here for? Is it possible to let me go up the mountain? Yang Shuo really wanted to scold in his heart when he thought of this, but he thought that the female ghost in red would always be by her side and did not leave, and swallowed back all the dirty words he wanted to say in his heart.
Yang Shuo turned on his mobile phone and looked at the time, it was already one o'clock in the morning, the surrounding lights were already dark, and even the street lights were very dim.
"Anyway, you are the most fierce boss, I will go up the mountain." Yang Shuo didn't have a choice, he could do this except to complain a few words like a little resentful woman, to say something unpleasant, the lady lurking invisibly wanted to kill him.
Of course, there will be no lights on the mountain, and Yang Shuo can only silently turn on the flashlight on his mobile phone to illuminate it, but fortunately, there is still a lot of power left on the mobile phone, so that there will not be no power for a while, and he will fall into this terrifying darkness.
The road behind the mountain of Water Street is not steep, and some roads are even quite easy to walk, and it seems that this back mountain has been walked many times.
But when he arrived at the mountainside, the surrounding roads were overgrown with weeds, and it seemed that no one or not many people had gone up the mountainside for a long time.
If other people experienced this kind of thing, they would probably go crazy nine times out of ten, but Yang Shuo was a relatively exceptional one, although he was timid, but he would not lose his sanity.
"Whirring ......"
At this time, there was a strange sound from the mountain for some reason, this sound was a bit like the sound of snorting, but in this environment where you couldn't see your fingers, this sound was particularly terrifying and made people's hairs stand on end.
"Is this what people call strange sounds?" Yang Shuo couldn't help but recall the words of the old uncle, who once said that the back mountains of Water Street at night would always make strange and scary sounds.
Yang Shuo listened to the strange voice and continued to move forward, there was no way, could it be a retreat to go back now?
It didn't take long for Yang Shuo to know where he had gone, and it was almost half past two in the morning, when he found a building, which should be said to be the only building he had seen since he went up the mountain.
Following his curiosity, he clenched the mobile phone in his hand and went to find out.
The structure of this building looks like a temple or a dojo, and from the outside, it looks like it has been some years old, and the surrounding rocks are covered with weeds and moss, and it looks like no one has been here for many years.
"It's a big building, and there's a backyard in addition to the front yard." Yang Shuo walked on the stairs in the front yard, looking around as he walked towards the central building in the center of the upper side.
"The building above should be the heart of the building." Before Yang Shuo walked into the central building, he used a flashlight to shine a flashlight on the plaque on the building, although it was covered with some dust, but he could still see what was written on the plaque.
"Spiritual Temple." Yang Shuo saw the font on the plaque, and his heart was a little hairy.
"This is the Spirit Temple!" Yang Shuo didn't know why the legendary Lingdong Temple turned out to be a deserted temple a long time ago, but at least it was certain that what the people in the chat group said was not a lie.
Yang Shuo slowly walked into the gate of the Spirit Temple, the door was closed, but it was not locked, and he could push the door open with a little effort.
"Ahem! How long has it been since no one came! Ahem! What a big gray! As soon as he pushed the door open, a puff of dust fell from the sky and landed on top of Yang Shuo's head, and he hurriedly waved his hand to try to get rid of the choking dust.
Yang Shuo used a flashlight to shine a light on the surroundings, in fact, there was nothing special about a normal temple, the only difference may be that the things here are a little old, such as tattered tribute platforms, Buddha statues covered with dust and cobwebs, as well as pierced prayer mats and a worn robe.
"Robes?" Yang Shuo curiously stepped forward and picked up a dusty robe on the ground.
The robe is not something that anyone can wear, the robe is the logo of the sage, respected by the Buddhist Order since ancient times, and it is only worthy of the monks who are highly respected to wear it, and the monks who are still shallow in ordinary qualifications can only wear monk clothes.
"How can this kind of thing be discarded here at will, it's completely impossible, no matter what happened here, the robe is the sign and symbol of the monk, and it shouldn't be discarded here at will." Yang Shuo shook off the dust on his robe, and used the flashlight of his mobile phone to carefully examine the robe.
For some reason, Yang Shuo felt a dizzy feeling in his brain, his ears kept "buzzing", his eyes were gradually a little foggy, the things around him had some ghosting feelings, and his body was fluttering like a feather that fell to the ground when he followed.
"No, me again, I don't want to play flash crossing ......" Yang Shuo's body swayed, and his mouth kept muttering.
Suddenly, the air around him was slowly filled with coldness, and Yang Shuo's spirit slowly eased up, but he felt that his hand was empty, as if something had floated away, and when he looked closely, it turned out to be a robe and didn't know where it went.
Yang Shuo didn't know when, the surrounding environment had changed, the original dilapidated and old temple, suddenly became magnificent, the original dilapidated tribute platform that would fall at any time, suddenly brand new, the original pierced worship mat was intact.
Yang Shuoke had just come in for less than two minutes, but everything around him had undergone earth-shaking changes without warning.
Yang Shuo looked at the position of the Buddha statue and there were more than a dozen monks, among which two of the leading monks were wearing robes, obviously the figures of the abbot or elder of the temple, and the others were wearing gray monk robes, each looking at each other, as if waiting for something to arrive.
