Chapter 21: The Dragon Ancient Temple
"No wonder the old man said he could only send us to the mountain over there!" Fei Bao, who was walking in the front, said that at this time he was picking up the grass in front of him, "There is no road here, how to tell people to walk!" ”
"Don't talk nonsense, let's go!" I say. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Your boss, you say it easily, you come and open the way!"
It is surrounded by weeds and sparse pine trees. In order to save our physical strength, we formed a column. Fat Bao opened the way at the front, Hotaru was in the middle, and I walked at the end.
"Brother Jinke, do you think you can find clues in the Longgu Temple?" Hotaru asked.
"At the beginning, we just used the myth of the phantom beast 'Prison Cow' and Longtou Mountain as clues to deduce that Longtou Mountain is related to the 'Nine Palace Prison Cow'." I said, "I'm just here with a half-believing attitude." But yesterday, after listening to the old man's narration, a group of people under the banner of the national archaeological team also came here to look for clues to the 'Nine Palaces Prison Cow'. I guess we are close to the inference of the archaeological team back then! ”
"Even if it's close to their inference, the archaeological team isn't necessarily correct!" Hotaru said.
"I've thought about this question too, but those forty or fifty people must have met something here! What makes me concerned is why such a large group of people disappeared out of thin air! I pondered, "Also, the old man's mountain ghost is described as a humanoid monster that can crawl!" It seems that this may have something to do with what happened to Amin! ”
"Could it be that there are mountain ghosts in Baiyun Mountain!" Hotaru said, "It was the mountain ghost who captured my brother that night!" ”
"There are so many ghosts in this world!" Fei Bao said, "The female ghost of Baiyun Mountain is not confirmed by us to be a stinky woman named Qixing!" ”
At this time, we were walking on the ridge of the Longtou Mountain Range, and I looked closely at the Longtou Mountain and said, "In short, there are many mysteries in the Longtou Mountain, and I think at least some of them will be related to the 'Nine Palaces Prison Cow'." I heard the old man say that the archaeological team was also looking for the Dragon Ancient Temple. Hope to find clues in the Dragon Ancient Temple! We don't know what happened to the archaeological team back then! This trip may be dangerous, Hotaru, be sure to follow us! ”
"Hmm!"
"I'm really afraid that there will be mountain ghosts!" Fat Bao turned around and said, "Now in broad daylight, as long as it dares to come out and be scary, come a few, brother cut a few!" ”
"Yes! Oh, yes! The most powerful is you! Look at the road! I said.
"Ahh Fat Treasure screamed in pain. As soon as I finished speaking, he bumped into a hanging branch of a pine tree.
"Isn't the legendary Longtou Mountain making a pleasant sound, and a dragon will climb on the Dragon Ancient Temple to listen to the beautiful music on the mountain?" "Isn't it strange that there are no birds here now?" ”
I was shocked and thought, "Yes! Birds could be heard all the way just now. But after walking into the jungle from Yingxu Pavilion, I didn't hear the sound of birds. There aren't many trees here, but the jungle is quite dense, and there should be birds. The birds are scared away? Could it be that there are really mountain ghosts here?
"Fat Bao, be vigilant when you open the road!" I say. I didn't tell them what I thought, and Fat Bao won't believe it when I say it, and I don't want to scare Hotaru!
"I will!" Fat Bao's face became serious, and he probably realized that something was wrong here.
The Yongtou Mountain Range is a mountain connected to a mountain. We followed the old man's instructions and walked along the ridge from the top of the mountain, over several hills. We had a break during which we drank water and ate a little bit. I just brought a little bread and biscuits. Who knows how Fei Bao treated this trip as a picnic, what sandwiches, beef jerky, potato chips, fruits, etc. No wonder his backpack was bulging, he was carrying so much food. Hotaru also brought a lot of snacks, including cakes, cakes, and so on. I really obeyed them.
"Fat Bao, you really deserve to come to the picnic!" I say.
At this time, Fei Bao stuffed beef jerky in his mouth and said: "The people take food as the sky, and if you don't eat better, I'm sorry for yourself!" ”
"I've also brought some delicious food to comfort you!" Hotaru smiled and handed me a piece of cake.
"I can't eat this kind of weather!" I said, "It's too hot! ”
Fei Bao snatched my cake with one hand and said, "If you don't eat it, I'll eat it!" ”
I didn't look at the fat treasure who was gobbling it up! With his diet, if he didn't go to the gym every day, his muscles would soon turn fat.
After eating and drinking, we took a short break and continued our departure.
We walked along the ridge until about 12 o'clock in the afternoon, and finally saw the ruins of a building in front of us. That should be the Dragon Ancient Temple. I was very disappointed, but it was also expected, the Longgu Temple was destroyed by fire seventeen years ago. Now all we have in front of us is ruins. The temple is already overgrown with weeds. It looks like no one has been here in a long time.
The Longgu Temple is huge, but only a few walls stand alone, and the others have collapsed. There are traces of burnt on the walls. According to the ruins, it can be seen how magnificent the Longgu Temple was back then. When we walked into the Longgu Temple, we were not in front of the main temple room, but a large courtyard, judging by the collapsed wall, the courtyard was the size of half a football field. On both sides of the courtyard are some collapsed buildings, which are presumably the places where the temple and monks lived in the past.
The innermost part of the courtyard is probably the main temple room. We walked all the way down the yard. The surroundings were quiet, without a trace of bird calls, and looking at the ruins of buildings around me that had been destroyed by fires, I didn't know why, and I felt a little chill down my spine. In broad daylight, when the sun was at its strongest, I actually felt a little scared.
We came to the main temple room, where on the left side stood a wall that looked like it was about to collapse, and there were signs of fire all around it. There is a large Buddha statue in the middle of the temple, which is carved out of stone, so it was not destroyed by the fire 17 years ago, but the Buddha statue was burned black. The upper body of the Buddha statue is disconnected and falls to the ground, while the lower body is still standing. According to the standing lower body, it is estimated that this Buddha statue should be five or six meters tall. This Buddha statue is very strange because it is not placed in the innermost part of the main temple chamber like ordinary temples, but in the middle of the main temple chamber. Wild grass grows through the cracks in the floor, making the temple green.
"The Longgu Temple was burned like this, it is clear at a glance, how can I check it out!" Fei Bao said.
"Let's walk around!" I say.
We walked around the temple without finding anything, and finally returned to the collapsed Buddha statue. At this time, we were tired and sat on the Buddha statue.
"This trip is in vain!" Fei Bao said.
"That's our only clue!" I said, "If it's broken here, you won't be able to check it anymore!" I know that this place may have something to do with the 'Nine Palace Prison Cow', but we don't know where to start! "I'm distressed. Now, even if I was given a genius mind, I couldn't think of a way to do it! The Longgu Temple was almost burned down by the fire seventeen years ago, and even if there was a clue, it must have been burned.
After hearing that the Longgu Temple had been burned down, I didn't have much hope, but I was still hoping to find some clues. But now it seems impossible to find anything in this situation.
"Actually, we have another way to investigate!" Hotaru said.
"How?" Fei Bao asked.
"Guangzhou Special Environmental Research Bureau!" I say.
"Yes!" Hotaru said, "The Research Bureau must know something!" Didn't they invite Brother Jin to join before? I think that this time the brother took the initiative to apply to join, and they should not refuse! You should be able to get some news in the Research Bureau! ”
"I turned around and walked away very handsomely before! Are you rolling back with your tail between your legs now? "I don't think I can do this!" What a shame! ”
"It's better to be embarrassed than to be able to find nothing!" Xiao Hotaru said, "Brother Jinke, why did you want to check it yourself at that time? Why not with the help of the Research Bureau? It's not like your style of doing things! ”
I sighed softly and didn't speak, I looked at Fat Bao. Because only Fei Bao knew that the reason why I didn't join the Research Bureau was for Hotaru's safety. My helplessness is known only to Fat Baby.
"Didn't I tell you before?" It was Fat Bao who spoke, "Your brother likes to be handsome, and he doesn't want to cooperate with people who indirectly harm your brother!" ”
"Why?" Hotaru asked, "This reason is unreasonable!" ”
I looked at the clear blue sky and didn't know how to answer Hotaru's question. I told her the truth, and she knew that all the dead moves I took were for her, and she would blame herself! But I can't do anything about it! I didn't expect that the military division would also have a time when "food is short of ammunition".
That's when I decided to tell a lie, "Maybe I was too impulsive at the beginning!" I was very angry when I saw the person who indirectly harmed Amin! ”
"Hotaru-chan, don't ask!" Fei Bao said, "Ke Shao has thought about enough things. ”
Hotaru looked at Fat Bao with a flat mouth and dissatisfaction.
"So what do we do now? Our military advisor! Fat Bao asked me.
"No way! Let's go back! I said, "I'll think about it in the long run!" ”
"Wow!" We were just about to leave for the first time when an eerie sound stopped me!
"Did you just hear any strange noises?" I asked.
"I heard that!" Fei Bao said.
"That shouldn't be my delusion!" I swallowed heavily.
"It's like a baby's cry!" Hotaru said scaredly.
"Where's the baby here!" Fei Bao said, "It should be some kind of animal barking." They just scream like babies."
"Uncle I just said that there are babies in the dead pit on the mountain!" Hotaru said.
At this time, goosebumps all over my body rose! One is because I heard a baby's cry in the silence of the mountain forest. The second is because of the rumors of the dead pit that the old man said before!
"Hotaru-chan, don't listen to these rumors!" "Even the undead don't come out until night!" How can a ghost be so fierce, running out in broad daylight and scary! ”
"Wow!" Another baby's cry startled all three of us.
