Chapter 436: The Stage on the River
Yes, gone, how come the twenty or thirty people who had been sitting on the golden roof in the middle of the river are all gone?
At that time, everyone thought that those people might have gone ashore, so they went around looking for people. Because of the large number of people and the big commotion, all the villagers of the temple village were alarmed, and when they heard that those people were gone, the old people said, "Impossible, there are people from our village guarding the shore, don't you ask the people guarding the shore?"
Those who came from other villages said, "You don't see anyone from your village on the shore?" ”
When the old man of the temple village heard this, he said that it was impossible, we obviously sent three young men to guard the shore, how could we not see it?
As he spoke, he returned to the Yellow River with a large group of people, but when he looked at the place, he saw that he did not see the three young men guarding the bank. So everyone shouted the names of the three people, but no one responded, and everyone searched for them, and then someone found the three people.
Everyone ran over to take a look, and it turned out that the three people did not leave the shore, but lay on the shore and passed out. Now everyone panicked, not only did the twenty or thirty people from other villages in the middle of the river disappear without a trace, but even the three people who were originally guarding the shore were unconscious, what is going on?
At that time, everyone went to pinch the people, and finally woke up the three people who were guarding the shore, and then asked them what was the matter, how did they faint, and where did the people in the middle of the river go?
However, the three young men who had fainted, although they had woken up, were in a state of fascination, and they were talking nonsense, and when they asked him anything, they did not answer, and they muttered to themselves, and they did not know what he was talking about.
These three young men are so wrong, it just so happened that there was a gentleman among those people who came to look for people from other villages, and when he came over to take a look, he told everyone to stop asking, these three people were evil, so they became like this.
This frightened the big guy, and then the gentleman recited a spell, and then the three lads stopped talking nonsense.
Then the gentleman asked the three young men, what had happened to you, and where were the people in the middle of the river?
The three young men had now come to their senses, and when they heard the gentleman ask themselves this, they immediately began to cry. Of course, they were not crying with sadness, but crying with fright, trembling all over, trembling legs, and frightened faces, obviously seeing something terrible before.
After a good reassurance from the crowd, the three lads relented, and then told everyone that those who sat on the golden roofs in the middle of the river had all jumped into the river.
When everyone heard this, they jumped into the river, how is this possible? How could they jump into the river for no reason?
The three young men told what they had seen. It turned out that the villagers had been sitting motionless on the golden roof, and the three young men had tried to call them every once in a while, but the villagers ignored them as if they couldn't hear them.
However, at one o'clock in the middle of the night, when the three young men were sitting by the river dozing, they suddenly heard movement on the river, blowing and blowing, and it was erhu, suona, and the sound of the woman Yiyi singing, so lively.
When they heard the movement, they immediately woke up and said to themselves, where did this come from?
When I looked up, I was so frightened that my soul was almost gone, and I saw a stage on the river under the moonlight. This stage is the same as the stage in ancient times, antique, the beams and pillars of the stage are stumped with white silk, a few white lanterns are hung on the corners of several roof beams on the stage, a group of actors are pinching lotus fingers on the stage, and Yiyi is singing the play.
When they saw this, the three young men were very frightened, and knew that they must have seen a ghost.
Isn't it, although the Yellow River has been cut off, but the river is still bottomless in this bay, and this stage is floating on the surface of the river, can this be a person? What's more, in the middle of the night, it is impossible to run to this river to sing?
The three of them were half frightened to death, their legs were shaking and their feet couldn't move, and then in front of the stage, twenty or thirty people were sitting on the golden roof and watching the play intently. And these twenty or thirty people are not the same people who came from the other village to get gold?
These twenty or thirty people were able to move at this time, some of them were talking and laughing and sitting in front of the stage, clapping their hands for a while, and applauding for a while. I don't think this stage is strange at all.
At this moment, the three young men on the shore shouted to the villagers in the middle of the river, telling them to get out of there and come ashore quickly. But none of the villagers in the middle of the river reacted, as if they couldn't hear their shouts.
Although the villagers who were watching the play in the middle of the river did not react, the ghosts who sang the big drama on the stage did.
When the three young men on the shore shouted, the play that was still blowing and playing on the stage, and the big drama of Yi Yi babbling and singing suddenly disappeared, along with the stage that appeared on the river, and it was as if nothing had happened on the calm river.
This time, the three young men were even more frightened, and their souls were almost gone, and their mothers screamed, saying that this was really a hell of a life.
And right here, the villagers who were sitting on the golden roof watching the big show all stood up, and then jumped into the river one by one, which was so screaming that after a while, twenty or thirty villagers were all gone.
Seeing this, the three young men knew that something was wrong, and then turned around to run, but they didn't know why, they couldn't lift their feet no matter how hard they tried, as if they were fixed there, and they didn't remember the rest of the matter, and their minds were blank.
When everyone heard this, their hairs stood on end, and they felt that this thing was too evil. The gentleman said, "The stage that appeared inexplicably must be a ghost, and if you encounter a ghost singing, those villagers will probably go to the bottom of the river to watch the play."
The meaning of the gentleman's words was naturally understood by everyone present, which meant that the villagers were all dead and had been taken away by ghosts.
However, the family members of those villagers are willing to give up, saying that they will go down to the river to find people, to see people alive and dead to see corpses.
Seeing that the family members of those villagers were crying and begging bitterly, a few villagers with good water properties agreed to go down to the river to look for them, but a few villagers with good water properties dived into the river, and it didn't take long for them to run up in a panic, looking terrified.
The crowd asked how they had come up so quickly.
The few divers said that there were ghosts down there, beating gongs and drums, and Yi Yi seemed to be singing a big show!
When everyone heard this, they were all shocked, and they thought to themselves, "Is it true that what the three young men say?"
However, twenty or thirty villagers are still under the river, what can we do? Some people begged those who were good in water and dived down to find them, but this time, those who were good in water said that they didn't want to go into the water again.
At this point, the old man paused, and then told us that he was one of the three lads who were on the shore at that time.
Hearing this, I couldn't help but be stunned, only to realize that this old man was talking about his own personal experience.
At that moment, I asked him, "Did you really see a singing opera on the river that night?" Those villagers are all watching the play? ”
The old man nodded: "Yes, I have seen it with my own eyes. Although the three of us were not hooked by the ghost that night, after that day, we also fell seriously ill. ”
I nodded, if what he said was true, then it is normal for this kind of person to fall into evil and get seriously ill.
At this time, Lao Liu Tou asked: "Then what happened to the twenty or thirty villagers who jumped into the river?" Is it true that even the body cannot be found? ”
The old man said: "Those who are good in the water are not willing to go into the water anymore, and then some of the family members who had accidents did not listen to the persuasion and had to go into the water to find people, and the result was ...... Alas! ”
"What happened to the results? Did something happen too? We asked curiously.
"Yes, all those who went into the water had an accident, and not long after diving into the water, a person seemed to have been cut by a knife and axe, and his body was broken in two and surfaced. At this point, no one dared to go down the river again. And the twenty or thirty missing villagers are also alive and dead. Some people say that they were captured by the ghosts, and some people say that they were captured by the river gods, but since then, no one dares to go down the river, and they all say that there is a river god living in the river, and whoever goes will never return. The old man said.
I said, "Then no one has crossed the river since then?" ”
"Yes, there was a foreigner who came thirty years ago, just like you, to find the River Temple, but he didn't come up after he got into the water. I guess I was also asked by the river god. The old man said.
Hearing this, Lao Liu Tou and Xiao Xu both looked at me, and it was obvious that the outsider the old man was talking about was obviously my previous life.
Then the old man said, "Since then, no one has dared to go down the river, and our local people do not want to let outsiders know about the river temple, lest more people be killed." I've said everything I have to say, I advise you to go back, if you still want to go, you won't be able to blame others if something happens. ”
I looked at each other with Lao Liu Tou and Xiao Xu, to be honest, listening to the old man say this, this river temple is really evil, so many people have died, even if there is no river god, it is also very wronged, this is going down the river, it is really fierce.
At this time, I looked at Lao Liu Tou and them, to see what they meant, because I had made up my mind to go, no matter how dangerous the front was. Old Liu nodded to me to show that he was unwilling to give up, and finally I had to sigh, so I said to the old man: "Thank you for the old man's advice, but we are not willing to give up this river temple, and we hope that the old man can show us the way." ”
