"In which direction are they going?" I hurriedly asked.

The owner of the sheep soup restaurant shook his head: "I don't know, there is a town in the middle of the island, you can go there and ask." There are a lot of people there. ”

I recovered from the seasickness, drank a bowl of mutton soup comfortably, and felt hot all over. The cousin looked at his watch: "At four o'clock in the afternoon, the boat will leave on time, and I will take it away if you don't come." ”

I didn't even look at him, paid for the sheep soup, turned around and left. After waiting for hundreds of meters, I remembered that I had forgotten to ask the boss just now how the town should pass. I didn't bother to go back, so I just walked down the street.

After walking a short distance, there was a pedaling tricycle on the side of the road, so I hurried over to ask for directions. The old man who pedaled the three wheels was a resident of the island, and he was very welcoming and let me into the car, and he pulled me over.

After pedaling for more than half an hour, I arrived in town. The island is quite wealthy, with modern infrastructure everywhere, seven-storey buildings of uniform system, and many hotels and restaurants, lined with streets. On the way, the master of the three-wheeled pedal briefly told me about the situation of the island, there are about 10,000 permanent residents of Snake Island, it is not good in winter now, and when it comes to summer, it is really lively every day, and tourists who cool off can squeeze their heads to break their heads.

I asked him what was worth visiting on the island. The master said that most tourists come to cool off, and there are also many anglers who come here to fish. The history of Snake Island is really long, and on the hill facing the cliff in the east, there are some temples that you can go to see.

I asked for the way and decided to go over and have a look. Now it has basically been determined, Wang Erdonkey judged the location of the sea where Xie Luo went, it should be here, Snake Island.

Now there is a question, Xie Luo rhino listened to the corpse, is the source of the sound on this island? What is the secret of this island?

Now it's confusing. To clear the clouds, you have to calm down and think about it. If this island really hides some earth-shattering secret, this secret will not remain calm forever, and there will be clues. The most valuable thing to investigate is its history and legends.

I decided to go and have a look at those temples.

I stuffed the three-wheeled master with a few dozen yuan and asked him to send me to the mountains of those temples, and the master looked like a simple aborigine, saying that the money was too much and he didn't need it. I forced it into him, and I spent most of the money, and I didn't care about this little money, it was best to get me safely delivered as quickly as possible.

The master took the money and really did practical things, strengthened his feet, and began to kick wildly. The wind on the island was very strong, and he hunched his waist and pulled me, and the car ran at a very fast speed towards the old mountain near the cliff.

It took about 20 minutes, and when I got to the bottom of the mountain, I pedaled for another 10 minutes or so, and I reached the halfway up the mountain. Patches of ancient temples can already be seen here. He stopped to wipe his sweat and told me that he had to go here and that he would have to go by himself.

I thanked him so much that I sent him away. Look at the watch, it's half past now, go in and explore, and then go down the mountain to go back, can I get to the dock before four o'clock, I don't have a score in my heart, I just don't want to, if I miss the point and stay on the island for a night, I don't believe that I can't get out of the island without my cousin.

These temples are built on mountain cliffs, and the situation is precipitous, and many railings are facing the cliffs. I came to a gazebo and looked out, with unfathomable cliffs at my feet, and the turquoise sea in the distance, and the sky was full of clouds, and it seemed that the weather was very bad. The buildings here are half-new, but the railings near the cliff are quite strong, and some are still made of steel, so it is estimated that there are many tourists here in the summer, in order to ensure safety.

I followed the verandah to the temple, and all the doors were wide open, quiet, and there was no one. There are some wooden statues in front of the temple, arranged in order, there can be more than ten, all of them are extremely hideous, with red eyes and blue faces, and some have horns on their heads, which look similar to evil ghosts.

I'll take a closer look, there is a text description below, here are the ten ghosts of the legends in the underworld, what are the names in turn, and what legends do they have. I didn't come to visit the scenery, let alone study history, I was really not interested in this, I didn't even look at it, and went straight to the temple.

The threshold of this large temple is very high, and it is all up to the knees. When I stepped into the threshold, the space of the temple was very large, and the ceiling was much higher than that of ordinary temples, estimated to be more than four meters high, causing the entire main hall of the temple to be extremely deep, and it was like sucking into a black hole when I entered it.

The weather is bad, the sun doesn't shine in outside, and it's gloomy everywhere. There were strange and hideous statues standing on both sides, and I looked around, and the more I walked, the darker it became, so I had to take out a small flashlight from my bosom to illuminate it.

At the end, there is an idol of the main deity enshrined on the throne. The statue can be more than three meters above the ground, and you have to look up to see it. This is a statue that looks impossible to define men and women at a glance, with exquisite facial features, eyebrows and eyes, pointed chin, and extremely fair skin, which reminds me of the Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox Dojo that I visited in Dagu Mountain a long time ago.

The statue of the god is draped in a red daze, wearing a phoenix crown and a xia veil, I shine with a flashlight, and there are a few traditional Chinese characters written on the shrine: The snake Niangniang came to the world to seal the official hall of the Holy Spirit.

There is also a line of words below: put forward the Qinglong True Sword, close the mystery is an old immortal, take advantage of the sails, full load, how can you go to Baoshan empty. Mention the pen: The emerald lady of the incarnation of the snake Niang.

I touched my chin and looked a little distracted, these poems should be all slang, similar to "Tui Bei Tu". At first glance, it is not incomprehensible at all, there is a deep metaphor, and you must understand the background story at that time in order to give a reasonable speculation.

The light of the main hall became dimmer and dimmer, and a cold wind blew in, and I stood in front of the statue, thinking about a lot of messy things, and for a moment I was distracted, and I wandered out of my body, as if I had arrived in an unspeakable space. I made a stirring out of thin air, and for some reason, goosebumps all over my body rose, and I was inexplicably scared.

I imagined that two hours earlier, Wang Erdonkey might have come, and he was standing where I was standing now, looking at the statue opposite......

I coughed, quickly shook my head, and called Huang Xiaotian and Cheng Hai in my heart.

Huang Xiaotian didn't say anything, but Cheng Hai spoke: "Little golden boy, this place is not simple. ”

"How?" I hurriedly asked.

Cheng Haidao: "There is the true spirit here, maybe the legend about the snake Niangniang is true." You go further back, and I feel a very eerie ghost coming from behind. ”

I took a deep breath and saw two small corner doors on each side of the main hall.

I walked towards the corner gate on the right, and through the door, I went out into an extremely narrow alley. The high walls on both sides of the alley are four or five meters high, and two thin people can walk side by side on the middle of the road, and if a fat man can't squeeze through.

The alley is very long, and it is a bit depressing to walk here, and the sky is dim. The special structure of the alley makes it impossible for the wind above to blow down, and it hovers overhead, whining, similar to a ghost crying wolf. It's just me in this place, and my hairs stand on end.

Fortunately, I have two old fairies on my body, which are the backbone, and if I go alone, I will definitely not dare to go over like this.

Passing through the alley, there is a corner door leading to another main hall, I pushed the door in, I couldn't help but be stunned, I couldn't help but open my mouth, I didn't expect such a scene inside.

Inside the door turned out to be a small storefront, and the walls were full of bits and pieces of memorabilia. In the center is a long table covered with a yellow tablecloth, and the table is filled with incense sachets for blessings and evil spirits. There was a middle-aged woman sleeping on her stomach.

I looked at the storefront, it was very quiet, there was no sound, there was a faint sandalwood in the air, no wonder I was sleeping, who came and who was confused.

I really can't bear to wake her up, and there is no way, maybe she has seen Wang Erdonkey.

I went over and tapped on the table, and the woman woke up, and had slept profusely, and sat there for a long time without coming to her senses. As soon as I was about to open my mouth, she said, "Fifteen sachets, no bargaining." ”

"What, eldest sister, I'm here to find someone." I say.

The woman winked at me, "Who are you looking for?" ”

I described Wang Erdonkey's physical characteristics, and the woman rubbed her eyes: "Oh, that offspring, I've been here, and I'm flamboyant." ”

"Where did he go?" I hurriedly asked.

The woman said, "He bought me a sachet ......" and didn't say anything in the second half of the sentence, and looked at me with dripping eyes.

I felt as disgusted as I had eaten a fly, and that was false. I pinched my nose and bought a red sachet and took twenty dollars out of my pocket and threw it to her.

The woman smiled happily, showed me the way, and told me to go out along the door and go east, and that the descendant went to see Sun Wukong.

"What's that? Monkey king? "I'm blindsided, why is Journey to the West out.

"I don't know," the woman smiled: "The relationship between our Snake Island Snake Niangniang and Sun Wukong is very solid, and the two cherish each other." There is a temple dedicated to the Monkey King. ”

"What connection can they have?" I think it's ridiculous.

The woman pulled her fingers: "You have heard the legend of our Snake Island. ”

"I know, I heard from the owner of the sheep soup restaurant at the dock that this is the ghost gate, and God sent a snake to town here." As I spoke, I suddenly remembered a detail, I just looked at the statue of the Divine Snake Niangniang in the temple, and the words "Divine Snake Niangniang came to the world to seal the official hall of the Holy Spirit" were written below.

What comes to mind is the word "sealing the netherworld", does it mean to block the netherworld?
