The two of them hurriedly stuck to the root of the wall at the door and waited, after a while, it seemed that there was still no movement inside, this time the sound was much bigger than the one I had just now, and after a while, the two of them looked inside again, and saw that the small square was still empty.

I blinked my eyes twice, there is a huge yard, is there really no one, there is such an adjective called, the door is full of birds, but this hellish place, there is not even a "finch" empty. At this moment, Qiang Shun whispered to me, "Huanghe, you are too careful, I don't think there is anyone in there at all!" ”

I turned my head and glanced at Qiang Shun and said, "No one, so why haven't Daochang Chen and Brother Silly Niu come out yet?" ”

Qiang Shun said: "You ask me, who do I ask, let's go in and see." ”

I waved my hand at him, wanting him to wait outside, I went in alone to see, Qiang Shun quickly shook his head, I said to him: "If there is danger inside, let's go in together, and the whole army will be destroyed." ”

Qiang Shun quibbled: "If it's really dangerous, it's useless for you to leave me outside, wow, you all get caught, where can I run." ”

I was speechless, and finally, the two of them walked into the courtyard together, and while walking, I paid attention to the houses on both sides of the square, a total of six houses on both sides, three on one side, all of which were wooden structures, wooden doors and wooden windows, and the doors were open, but because the distance was a little far, and the light in the house was relatively dim, I couldn't see the situation in the house clearly, the whole thing was quiet, and it felt like there was really no one, but our vigilance was not relaxed.

After a while, the two of them came to the big ding in the center of the square, I walked over and looked into the big ding, which was full of a layer of dust, and I was going to reach out to remove the dust and look down, but the hand was hard after touching it. Judging from my experience, this should be the scab that has formed after the rain.

I poked the ash open with my fingers, and uncovered the ash like a scar, and looked down, and there was all incense ash underneath, and the incense ash was half hidden by many inches of incense.

At this time, it can be completely concluded that this is really a large Taoist temple or temple, and this tripod is a large incense burner, but, judging from the scabbed incense ash in the tripod, no one has come here for a long time to incense.

At this time, I heard Qiang Shun say, "Look at the Yellow River, there are footprints of Chen Daochang and Brother Silly Niu on the ground." ”

I hurriedly looked down, it was true, the ground under our feet was paved with white stones, and a thick layer of dust had fallen on it, as if it had not been on it for a long time.

Looking at the footprints, I suddenly wondered, judging from the dust on the ground, it seems that no one has been here for a long time, but what is the matter with the bell coming out of here? I turned around and looked at the whole courtyard again, and then again, I just heard the bell clearly, and it didn't matter if there was no one in the courtyard, so where was the bell, was it in a certain room?

I looked down at the footprints next to Da Ding, the footprints overlapped and messy, Chen Hui and the stupid cow obviously came to look at Da Ding, and then, they looked at each room on both sides of the small square, because their footprints were interspersed back and forth in the small square in a "Z" shape, obviously, they were in the order of up and down, left and right, this is the rule of burning incense and kowtowing at the temple gate. Unlike ordinary people, it is not right to put the left side and then the right side after the right side in one breath, or the right side and then the left side after the right side.

Our purpose now is not to enter the temple to burn incense and kowtow, but to find Chen Hui and the stupid cow, how to come so quickly, there is no need to go into these rooms one by one.

As soon as they pulled Qiangshun, the two of them left Dading and walked straight towards the innermost attic in the square, which is the main building of the entire courtyard, Chen Hui led the stupid cow to see the rooms on both sides, and he must have gone there, and there were only footprints on the square where they entered, and they did not come out, it can be concluded that Chen Hui and the stupid cow should be in the innermost attic building.

At this moment, Qiang Shun suddenly said again, "Look at the Yellow River, there are people in the attic." ”

As soon as I heard this, my heart jumped, finally there was a living creature, since we came in, there was not even a bird in the whole courtyard, and I was afraid of people.

I hurriedly looked up on the second floor of the attic and saw that there were indeed people, one tall and one short, Qiang Shun said again: "It seems to be Chen Daochang and Brother Silly Niu!" ”

Qiangshun's eyes were better than mine, and when he said this, I squinted my eyes and took a closer look, as if it was really the two of them. Qiang Shun opened his mouth to shout, but I hurriedly pulled him, "I think this place is quite weird, let's not make a noise yet." Qiang Shun smashed his mouth and swallowed the words back.

The two men quickened their pace, and soon came to the attic, which was also made of wood, with wooden pillars, rafters, and roofs, but in terms of style and scale, it was much stronger than the six houses on either side of the square.

The door on the first floor of the attic is a six-door door, that is, a gate composed of six small doors, which we have only seen in TV series, the middle two doors can be opened and closed freely, and the two sides are basically dead fans, which cannot be opened and closed freely, and can only be disassembled if you want to open it.

At this time, the middle two doors were open, Qiang Shun and I walked to the door to take a look, the footprints of Chen Hui and the stupid cow were clearly visible, and then looked inside, except for the footprints of the two of them, there was no one else.

I greeted Qiang Shun, and the two of them walked in boldly, and when they went inside, they saw that it was a large hall, with several waist-thick pillars supporting the top of the temple, and in the innermost part of the main hall, stood a tall statue of a god.

The statue of the god is on the top of the temple, the feet are on the ground, it is four or five meters high, it looks both solemn and majestic, the two of us can't help but look at the statue, and we see that the statue is a ginger face, the hair is open, the eyes are round and angry, wearing a dark red armor, it feels as if it is dyed red with blood, behind him, there is a red, yellow, and green three-pole flag, holding a big ring knife in his hand, another name seems to be called "ghost head knife", the tip of the knife is on the ground, the statue of one hand is on the waist, and the other hand is pressed on the hilt, majestic.

After reading it, Qiang Shun asked me, what kind of immortal family is this? I shook my head and said, I don't know, it should be a local immortal family, not in the traditional sense, it looks like a general or a hero, and it may be worshipped as a god by the locals after death.

Except for this statue of the god, the main hall is almost empty like the square outside, and the dust in the main hall is even thicker than the outside, and there are cobwebs in those corners.

The two of us followed the footprints of Chen Hui and the stupid cow, and turned to the back of the statue, it turned out that behind it, there was a wooden staircase, which was inclined at 60 degrees to the second floor, and there were also the footprints of Chen Hui and the stupid cow on the stairs, which extended to the top, just now we saw Chen Hui and the stupid cow on the second floor, and they should have gone up from here.

At the moment, there doesn't seem to be any danger in this courtyard, it should be Chen Hui who took the stupid cow to look at the rooms one by one, and even worshiped the immortals enshrined in each room, so he delayed the time.

The two of them relaxed their tense nerves a little and made their way up the stairs.

Bu climbed up, is stunned, this staircase leads, is not the inside of the two-story attic, outside the attic, the area of the attic, the whole is smaller than the hall below, after the stairs come up, close to the back wall of the attic, around the back wall of the attic, is a circular wooden rafter road, a calf thickness of the wooden rafters tied together, one meter wide, like a plank road.

On the opposite side of the back wall of the attic is the tall and straight mountain, the stairs and the plank road are sandwiched between the wall and the mountain, the plank road is fifty or sixty centimeters away from the mountain, standing on the edge of the plank road, there is no need to owe the body at all, you can touch the mountain with your hand, however, the mountain is crawling with strange vines and plants, some vines can be arm thick, dense, lush, resulting in the whole mountain is like a huge green barrier, look up and look up, all make people feel dizzy.

I pulled Qiangshun's clothes, "Don't look at it, hurry up and go to Daochang Chen and Brother Silly Niu." ”

Qiang Shun wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, "Look dazzled, it's really like a sweet potato field......"

The two of them followed the plank road and detoured from the back of the attic to the front, and when we were below, Chen Hui and Silly Niu passed from here.

I saw that the front of the attic was a four-leaf wooden door, two less than the bottom, the format was basically the same, and the middle two were also open, but directly above the four pieces of wood, there was a gossip mirror hung, and I saw that the gossip mirror was moving, could it be that the reflection I saw on the top of the tree before, is it?

At this moment, Chen Hui and Silly Niu came out of the door, the four of us looked at each other, we were all stunned, Chen Hui asked first, "Didn't you wait in the forest, why did you come in?" ”

Qiang Shun replied: "We have been waiting outside for almost two hours, I am afraid that you will have an accident with Brother Silly Niu, so we will come in." ”

When Chen Hui heard this, he looked at the two of us and said, "It's okay for you to come in, come and have a look." ”

Then, as soon as Chen Hui turned around, he returned to the attic, and Qiang Shun and I glanced at each other inexplicably, and followed in.

In the attic, the space is not large, except that the roof is pointed, the surrounding is square, and there are two large windows on each wooden wall, at this time the windows are all open, and the light and wind are transmitted on all sides, so that the whole attic looks like a gazebo, which is particularly bright.

In the middle of the attic, there is a large bronze bell that can only be barely held by three people, Chen Hui pointed at the bronze bell, "The bell we heard just now should have come from here, but ......" Chen Hui changed his words: "There is no one here at all, and we have not found any tools to strike the copper bell, and who rang the bronze bell?" ”

As soon as I heard Chen Hui say this, my heart suddenly sank, and I secretly screamed that it was not good, and I grabbed Chen Hui and shouted: "This is not a good place, hurry up!" ”
