Chapter 434: The Mystery of the Taoist Temple
(Yesterday's draft of the chapter was messy, and there were a lot of revisions, but it has been revised this afternoon, and it's best to read it again if you've read it, otherwise today's chapter won't seem to be in the same preface.) Also, today's chapter is almost the same as the content of yesterday's draft, so you can read it if you want to, and if you don't want to read it, you can wait for tomorrow's new chapter. )
So, we stayed in the house opposite the Luo family day and night, Chen Hui still went out every day, just like that, a few days later, the time came to the end of July, the Luo family still didn't move at this time, no matter day or night, it was the same, except for the little boy, still no one came in and out, and the courtyard door of their house was really open twenty-four hours a day. This makes me wonder, although it is sparsely populated, but it is not closed at night, and even if no one goes to their house, is there no fear that some wild beasts will go in and toss around, I can't figure it out.
Chen Hui, in the past few days, he found a few villages near the Taoist temple and gained the trust of the villagers, Chen Hui asked those villagers about the Luo family, but no one knew about the Luo family, what Luo Wu and Luo were blind, they had never heard of it at all, and some didn't even know that there was a small village in the valley in the north.
On this day, Qiang Shun should go back to the Taoist temple in the evening and report the situation to Chen Hui, but nothing happened that night, but early the next morning, after Qiang Shun came back from the Taoist temple, he pulled me up and told me that Chen Hui wanted us to go back to the cave tonight, saying that there was something to tell us, and in the evening, we packed up and went back.
In the evening, when he returned to the cave and had eaten, Chen Hui told us about the news he had heard in the past few days, but he couldn't inquire about the Luo family at all, but he did ask about some things in the Taoist temple, which he still inquired about from the old people in the nearby village.
No one can say clearly when this Taoist temple was built, but many people know that this temple is dedicated to a general of the Ming Dynasty, and it is said that this general once fought in them.
The people who built this Taoist temple were not their locals, they came from Qujing, Yunnan, that is, the Taoist temple built by the Yunnan people here, but because the Taoist temple was relatively remote, few people knew about it at first, and it was discovered by the locals later.
Guanli is not their local immortal family, the general with a big knife in his hand, no one has ever seen it in their locals, it is said that he is called "General Mu", or it may be "General Mu", except for the few people who built the temple, the locals rarely go there.
Later, a strange thing happened, one night, many villagers near the Taoist temple dreamed of a team of people and horses with bright armor, passing by their village entrance, those soldiers and horses were all holding swords and guns, majestic, it seemed that they were going in the direction of the Taoist temple.
Because the dream is more real, there are many people who dream of it, the next day, a lot of curious villagers, specifically ran to the view, want to find out, who knows that after going, the view is holding a ceremony to receive the gods with great fanfare, what to say, "General Mu" yesterday with the generals, officially moved here.
When the villagers heard this, they thought about the dream they had last night, looked at each other, and ran back to the village to say, several people from the village came to kowtow to incense, and after hitting the wall, the incense in the temple gradually became vigorous.
In a blink of an eye, many years have passed, the few people who once built the temple are all old, few people see them come out and walk around, and there are only a few disciples and grandchildren left in the temple, but these disciples and grandchildren are far inferior to the older generation of people who will take care of the Taoist temple, resulting in the Taoist temple is not as good as a year.
Two years ago, there was an evil thing in the view, such a trouble, not only did the people in the nearby villages dare not go again, even those disciples and grandchildren who stayed to do temple blessings were also scared away, and in an instant, the Taoist temple that was once prosperous with incense became a fierce place that made people talk about it.
When Chen Hui told us this, I couldn't help but interrupt him and asked, "Daoist, what is going on in this Taoist temple, is it related to the old Taoist priest we buried before?" ”
Chen Hui shook his head and said: "It shouldn't have anything to do with that old-timer, but those people in the village don't want to talk to me about this, and then I asked a few old people, and they said that there is something strange in the view, it seems to be a big python, and after eating a few living people, the python can also speak, and after saying that the view is its place, no one is allowed to come over." ”
"Python?" I blinked my eyes twice, and said in my heart, no wonder such a good Taoist temple, empty and empty, then stunned, and hurriedly asked Chen Hui again, "Dao Chief, when did the big python happen?" ”
Chen Hui replied: "It was about two years ago. ”
"You started making trouble two years ago?" Chen Hui nodded, my heart sank suddenly, and said: "What about now, what about the big python now, these spirits, if you find a dojo, you can't just stay for two years." ”
When Chen Hui heard this, he straightened his face and glanced at me, "What do you mean by that?" ”
I said, "I mean, this python is still watching." ”
As soon as I said this, except for the stupid cow, Chen Hui and Qiang Shun's faces changed, and Qiang Shun suddenly shouted: "Where is the big python!" ”
I glanced at Qiang Shun, who knows where, but two years ago, the python took over this place, and now it has gone elsewhere? Is this possible? It's not easy for these spirits to find a place that suits them, and it's even harder to get them to give up where they fancy and go elsewhere.
I suddenly thought of the dried corpse in the cave, and hurriedly asked Chen Hui, "Since this place is occupied by the python, and there is no one left, what is the matter with the corpse of the old Taoist priest?" ”
When Chen Hui heard this, he said uncertainly: "Maybe...... Before the python, the remains of the old-timers were already here. ”
I shook my head, "No, I look at the old Taoist's dry corpse, it's not like it was two years ago, it didn't die for a year at most, that is to say, after the python occupied the Taoist temple, the old Taoist priest died, the python was in front, and the old Taoist priest was behind." ”
As soon as I said this, Chen Hui's eyes lowered, for my words, he didn't seem to know how to deal with it, with his experience, he should also be able to see that the old Taoist priest died for not too long, since the python has occupied this place, no one is allowed to enter, then how did the old Taoist come to the cave to sit? Is there any connection between the two?
After a long time, Chen Hui actually changed the topic, Chen Hui said: "A few days ago, I went to a distant town, or I wanted to find someone to inquire about the Luo family, the town was actually electric, and there were TVs in some stores, and when I went to a store to buy candles, the TV was broadcasting news......
Chen Hui said this, Qiang Shun and I couldn't help but glance at each other, especially envious, TV, such a distant word, we haven't seen it for a long time, like primitive people all day long, we almost forgot what TV looks like.
Chen Hui didn't pay attention to the envy of the two of us, and continued: "The news that was being broadcast on TV at that time, do you know, now there are torrential rains and floods all over the country, and homes are also flooded, and flood relief is going on everywhere. ”
"What?" When Qiang Shun and I heard this, I immediately couldn't sit still, and I hurriedly asked, "Is it really raining at home?" ”
Chen Hui nodded, "At home, it's not too serious." ”
I frowned suddenly, remembering the dream I had before, the flood had reached our doorstep, was that dream real?
Qiang Shun suddenly shouted: "I said, there is a big hole in the sky, and the sky is leaking." ”
"What do you mean?" I turned my head to look at Qiang Shun and asked, "You mean that after we buried the dried corpse of that old Taoist priest, the sky leaked, and it began to rain heavily across the country, and those affected places were all caused by us?" ”
Qiang Shun didn't say yes, he didn't say no, look at me and Chen Hui, and said: "When we buried the corpse, I heard it, and some people in the wind said that mortals go against the way of heaven, and the world will suffer a great disaster!" ”
I glanced at Qiang Shun again and exclaimed, "Don't you still mean that, it's just a few of us, right?" Immediately, I changed the conversation with a weak heart and said, "What are the few of us, can we make the whole country suffer?" ”
Qiang Shun licked his lips, "Anyway, anyway, we are going against the heavens......"
When Chen Hui heard this, his face became a little ugly, but he said: "You two don't worry, I read the news that before we buried the remains of the seniors, there had been several heavy rains all over the country, and some places had already been affected, this is a natural disaster, and it has little to do with our burying the corpses." ”
After Chen Hui finished speaking, Qiang Shun muttered in a low voice: "That maybe...... There may be people in other places who go against the way of heaven before us, and we go against the way of heaven again, and they all come together, and now it's time for us to be here. ”
Listening to Qiang Shun's words, Chen Hui and I glanced at him at the same time, and felt that what he said really seemed to be promoting feudal superstition and alarmism, but at this time, several of us were feeling weak in our hearts, because there are some things that can be explained by coincidence......
A few people fell silent again, I sighed in my heart, this trip to Guizhou, really, not only miserable, bitten by mosquitoes, starved and drenched, things are endless, and there are dry corpses, pythons, and against the way of heaven, the sky is leaked, and it is rainstorm and flood...... This is more serious than what we encountered in previous years, and it is a big head to think about.
In the cave, the oil lamp was dim and unclear, I sighed a few more times, suddenly realized something, and hurriedly asked Chen Hui: "Dao Chief, I heard...... Is it true that the cave where the python lives is warm in winter and cool in summer, and there are no mosquitoes? ”
Chen Hui glanced at me and nodded, "Pythons have a unique smell on their bodies, mosquitoes, insects, rats and ants, and they will stay away when they encounter them." ”
Hearing this, I licked my lips and asked, "Then you say, this cave would not have been a python cave before, otherwise why are there no mosquitoes here?" ”
As soon as I said this, the faces of several people changed.
