Chapter 8: The Shaking Shadow

Looking down from a high position, the temple looks very strange, the roof above is high and a pair of sharp horns are raised, and the temple door is not like what you usually see, but into a convex shape, like the head of a giant beast.

Hu Yang put down his travel bag, took out two safety ropes and tied them to the boulder by the pool, tied one to his waist, threw the rope down after tying it, grabbed his feet firmly with both hands and stepped on the rock wall, jumped down to the bottom of the pool, and after checking around, he signaled Yang Junjun to come down second.

I thought that the woman might be a little timid in this regard, but Yang Junjun was not timid at all, after tying the rope, she was very skilled in rock climbing, and later learned that her hobby was to play rock climbing, like this ten-meter-deep pool is like playing childhood.

After watching her go down, I didn't hurry to tie the rope, and as soon as my body went down and hung in the air, a very clear cough suddenly sounded above my head.

Looking up, a face lying on the edge of the pool to reveal a pair of eyes are looking at me, this pair of eyes frightened immediately let go of the hand, instantly fell down, fortunately tied to the waist of the safety rope, only one meter high from the ground, the waist tightened to pull me to death.

Yang Junjun and the two of them immediately pulled off the safety rope, I stabilized my body and quickly looked up, the pair of eyes and half of the face were gone, that look was so familiar, have you seen it anywhere?

Suddenly, my shoulder was pushed and I almost fell, Hu Yang looked at me angrily: "Forgot what I just said again?" Do you know that thing can't look at each other!! Otherwise, you won't be able to get out of this mountain! ”

Whoever was pushed and almost fell would be angry, I threw the rope and yelled at him, "You know what that thing is, why don't you sue me?" ”

"Alright, you two men are arguing like a."

Yang Junjun walked between the two of us and looked at Hu Yang: "Since we are all people you can trust, sue us." ”

Hu Yang looked at me apologetically, and then looked at Yang Junjun, and said: "I don't know what the ghost thing is called, a year ago I followed a few hiking enthusiasts to the Qinling Mountains to get lost in the mountains, it didn't take long to hear this voice, just see a black shadow lying behind the tree, at first everyone did not have a branch to find the way quietly, but the black shadow has been following, wherever it goes, there is a grumpy traveler picked up a knife and touched the black shadow, at the beginning of the thought it might be a monkey, but the traveler went for a long time and did not come back, Others felt that things were not good and came to look for him, but where was his figure? There were no traces of trampling around, as if they had disappeared out of thin air, and after the accident, everyone was very frightened, and gathered in a tent to rest, until the next day they found that there was another person missing, and they disappeared silently.

In the end, there were a total of four people left with me, no matter what they did, they were not separated from each other, thinking that they would be able to get out of here safely, and another day passed, and the four of us quickly found a reference object to determine the direction according to the marks on the map, and then everyone suddenly relaxed, but in less than an afternoon another person disappeared, that person was next to us at the time, and suddenly he said that he saw an acquaintance and ran over excitedly into the woods, and I and two travelers immediately followed, After running a hundred meters, I saw the traveler crying and laughing under a tree, and suddenly the traveler stopped his voice and turned to look at the three of us and said don't look at him in the eyes, and ran like crazy into the woods, never to come out again.

The three of us were left to leave the strange place in the east of the Qinling Mountains. ”

Hearing what he said, I thought that I had just looked at that thing for a few seconds, would I disappear without a trace like those few people?

Hu Yang came over and pinched my shoulder: "Don't worry, if that thing really dares to provoke you, Lao Tzu will be the first to refuse!" ”

Yang Junjun looked up at the sky: "Okay, you two don't have a deep brotherhood there, it's not early, let's go see the temple first." ”

I stretched out my fist and slammed Hu Yang at each other, which was regarded as revealing what had just happened, and followed Yang Junjun into the beast-shaped temple that seemed to have an open mouth.

It's pitch black inside, the light outside is only enough to illuminate the bottom of the pool, the three of us hold a waterproof flashlight to shine inside, the space inside is not large, only about twenty square meters, both on the ground and on the wall are wet and full of aquatic plants.

Yang Junjun picked up the aquatic plants on the wall, and couldn't help but be excited when she touched the lines, Hu Yang and I helped her, and a space was quickly vacated on the wall, and a twisted pattern was depicted on it, which was really a little incomprehensible.

"This should be a stone carving from the Jin Dynasty, but it's very rough, as if it was carved in a hurry." Yang Junjun frowned and explained. "This should be a depiction of a serpent underwater."

"Didn't you study folklore?" I asked her curiously, "Do you also have research on history and cultural relics?" ”

Yang Junjun glanced at me, walked to the other side and moved the aquatic plants away, nodded confidently: "It's really similar to what I thought." ”

This wall carving does not need to be explained by Yang Junjun, I was a little surprised to see the figure in the picture holding a strange weapon chasing a big snake, is it really the story of the surrounding slashing? He also built this temple?

"That's right, because ancient people liked to record the glorious things they had done in front of them and put them in their tombs."

Yang Junjun said nonchalantly: "It is estimated that this person is more unique and likes to put it in the temple he built." ”

At this time, Hu Yang shone the flashlight into the last and called us to look over, only to see a stone statue standing in the middle of the end, the person on this stone statue held a conical weapon high above his head, and stepped on a big snake with one foot, and the snake's head glared angrily.

"Where is the head of the stone statue?" Hu Yang groaned softly, and scanned around with a flashlight but didn't find the head of the stone statue.

I stared at the stone statue in amazement, holding up the weapon in my hand, wasn't this the chisel I had taken from my grandfather? Why do you hold it on a stone statue far away?

"Come and see!"

Yang Junjun exclaimed in surprise and called us over, pointing to the back of the stone statue: "There are words here!" ”

Hu Yang pointed the flashlight at the vertical word and read it word by word.

"Everywhere a splash of skin, vain pressure on the dragon's spirit, He De peeped at the imperial power, now, Yi cut off his stone head to break his formation, and perished only in the morning and night."

Yang Junjun shouted lightly: "No wonder after the story of the Jiaojiao around the world, the official fortune is simply soaring, a village splash in a few years mixed with high-ranking officials, think about it, I feel weird everywhere, it turns out that there is such a history." ”

"Who is this Yi?" Hu Yang climbed up the stone statue and touched the broken neck, "It's so smooth, the weapon that can cut off the stone statue with a sword in that era must be extraordinary." ”

Speaking of weapons, I'm still wondering why Zhou Chu used a chisel instead of a knife or sword.

"Ahem!"

A strange cough suddenly sounded outside the temple. The three of us were shocked, and we couldn't help but feel weak that guy actually came down from above.

"Ahem!"

The coughing sound was getting closer and closer, almost at the entrance of the temple.

Hu Yang immediately asked us to turn off all the flashlights, and as soon as the light went out, our vision immediately darkened, and through the light outside, we saw a slender figure staggering and walking towards the temple step by step.

At this moment, the three of us changed their faces wildly.

It was a thing that had never been seen before, standing there.
