Chapter Forty-Eight: Qimen Occupies the Rain
The room was very dull, making people feel like they wanted to suffocate, and the stone walls of the room were all of a terrible black, and under their feet was a thick layer of fire ash, which was soft to step on, making people feel uneasy in the void.
I turned on my flashlight and took a closer look at the corner of the room, but I couldn't help but be disappointed that there was no clue to start the game. This means that we have no way to determine the cause of the death of Ergouzi's family.
The longer I stayed, the stronger the feeling of suffocation. As soon as we came out of the house, all three of us gasped for breath for a few moments like drowning people.
"Let's go." I waved my hand, "Go and have a look at that temple." β
From a distance, the mountain path was as thin as a hemp rope, but when I got closer, I saw about a meter wide, and uneven stone layers were stacked on top of each other. Uncle told us that this stone path was dug out in ancient times. The Eighth Route Army's arsenal was located on the back of the mountain, and the stone path was damaged when it was blown up. As for the mountain temple, it was also damaged that year, and then the incense was cut off.
Going up the stone path, we saw a lot of cracked stone steps, which made people worry that if they stepped on it, they would collapse and roll down the mountain.
Trembling to the top of the mountain, a dilapidated small temple appeared in front of him, and the direction of the temple gate was facing the stone village below the mountain. There are many temples like this in Taihang Mountain, some are dedicated to mountain gods, some are dedicated to Nuwa, and some are dedicated to Buddhist Buddhas, and so on.
In front of the temple, the wall has long since collapsed, and only a small section remains. The main entrance is gone, and only a lone door frame remains, and the vault above it is quite intact.
There is a small pond in the temple grounds, which has long since dried up. The temple houses are made of green bricks, and the walls are full of cracks and moss. When I entered the temple house, I saw that there was a hideous and ugly mountain god enshrined inside, and there was a little ghost standing next to it.
The wind came in, and in the darkness, cobwebs fluttered. I couldn't help but get nervous, and said that the two dogs should have become monsters here. However, with a compass, there is nothing unusual about the magnetic field. A search of the house revealed nothing out of the ordinary.
The air in the house was so foul and uncomfortable that I decided to go out and get some air, and then come back to look for anything I missed.
The group came to the gate and looked down the mountain, and the whole picture of the stone village appeared in front of them. The terraced rice fields at the back of the village look unconventional, like a small oasis. The breeze blows on the face, and the clouds cover people, making people have a feeling of wanting to rise in the air and ascend to immortals.
The uncle was not nervous at the moment, and his face was full of hope, saying that now is the time for crops to grow, and it would be nice if it rained a little more.
I smiled and said that although I couldn't ask for rain, I could tell when it would rain. The uncle looked at me in disbelief, as if to say, do you think you are Zhuge Liang's resurrection, and you can still predict when there will be rain...
I smiled and started a game, Qimen occupies the rain, with Tianzhu as the rain master, and Tianpeng as the water god. In front of this situation, the pillar of heaven is facing the ground, and there is heavy rain in the Lord. Guessing the time of rain based on the dry day and the dry time, and then comparing it with the canopy falling into the palace, I couldn't smile anymore. Because the situation in front of me shows that there is not only rain in Shenshi two days later, but also a flood caused by extremely heavy rain...
When I was shocked, Xiang Feng came over and said in a deep voice, "Ah Leng, I feel that something is not quite right with this mountain on the east side of Stone Village..."
"Not quite right?" I was stunned and looked up at Xiang Feng.
"Hmm." Xiang Feng nodded, and beckoned expressionlessly, "You come and see." β
I walked towards the edge of the cliff with Xiangfeng, and at this time, Yang Shujun and Miss Bai also sensed that there was something abnormal between the two of us, and stopped laughing. For a while, the cliff was very quiet, only the mountain wind was whining.
When I came to the edge of the cliff, I looked towards the mountain, and in the midst of the clouds and mist, I saw that the overall shape of the mountain was a bit like the back of a camel, and the two peaks stood side by side in the south and north, like a hump. Stone Village is located just below the 'hump' to the north.
Viewed from above, the two peaks look bare, and the small trees are like ornaments inserted into the peaks.
"It's nothing out of the ordinary." I muttered.
Xiang Feng pointed to the peak to the north and said, "Have you appeared, the clouds on this peak are thicker than those on the other peak..."
When I said this, I looked again, and it was true, but if the humidity on the two peaks was different, the difference in the intensity of the clouds and fog would be easy to explain, and besides, it was a southerly wind blowing now, and it was also possible that the wind had blown the clouds and mist from the southern peaks.
"Nope." Xiang Feng said, "It shouldn't be the reason, you look there." β
Following my finger to the wind, I suddenly saw that there was a small half-circle bulge on the top of the mountain peak to the north, as if someone had glued a torn scarf to it, and on that ridge there were many small 'bumps', like ornaments on the scarf. From a distance, it looks like a small bump, but if you look closer, it should be a bulging boulder.
"Thisβ" I frowned.
"Look down." Xiang Feng said.
My gaze fell down the mountain from the 'scarf', and I couldn't help but feel a cool breath in my heart. Because, directly below that 'scarf', is the stone village... I suddenly understood what Xiang Feng was trying to say!
"You mean..."
Xiang Feng looked at me and nodded, "The body of this mountain is changing, and that section of the 'scarf' will collapse at any time and bury the stone village below." β
I got goosebumps on my body, and my eyes widened as I stared at the mountain.
"I think the time of the collapse should be in the near future." Xiang Feng said.
"I started that game just now, and the day after tomorrow, there was a heavy rainstorm here, isn't it..."
Xiang Feng didn't answer my words, but looked at the clouds in the distance and said quietly, "I seem to know what the second dog became after he died..."
"What is it?" I was stunned.
Xiang Feng took a deep breath and spit out two words, "Mountain Charm." β
"Mountain Charm?"
"Hmm." Xiang Feng said, "You have lived in the plains since you were a child, and you will not know if you grow up and stay in the city." I grew up in the mountains, and when I was a child, I heard the old people in the mountains say that when a disaster strikes, such as a landslide or a mudslide, there will be something like a ghost, and that kind of thing is called a mountain ghost. The mountain ghost is a kind of mountain ghost, which is actually the so-called mountain god worshiped by the mountain people. The mountain god was originally the spirit of the mountain, and people worshiped it, mainly because they wanted it to enjoy the incense offering and not harm people..."
I was stunned by the fantastical narration of the Arabian Nights.
Xiang Feng looked at me and said, "There is going to be a disaster here, so there is a mountain ghost born, and it just so happens that the body of the second dog was put into the mountain temple, and the mountain ghost is attached to it, making him a monster that is not human or ghost." β
I looked at Xiang Feng in a daze, not knowing what to say.
"I'll call that uncle over."
After finishing speaking, Xiang Feng called out to the uncle, pointed to the mountain peak and said, "Uncle, take a look, was this peak like this before?" β
The uncle scratched his head and looked at it for a long time and said, it used to be like this... Apparently, he didn't know at all.
"Let's go, let's go back to the village first." Xiang Feng said.
Back in the village, we looked up at the peak, and we didn't see anything unusual at all. Seeing that when we were eating lunch, the uncle took out the cured meat from the cellar, and Yang Shujun took out the food we brought and stewed a big pot. The aroma is salivating, Yang Shujun is sweating profusely, Xiaoqing is also full of praise, and Miss Bai eats very gently. Xiang Feng and I have a lot of things on our minds, and we can't swallow it.
"Huh? What happened to the two handsome guys? Xiaoqing said, "What were you two doing on the edge of the cliff before?" β
The shortening of the distance can contribute to the relationship between two people, and it can also wear out the worship of one person. For example, Xiaoqing, now she feels like an ordinary friend to Xiang Feng. With Miss Bai with her, her husband was very relieved of her, and because he was busy with the business of the shops in the city, he did not inquire much about her whereabouts.
I consulted with Xiang Feng, and before I was unsure, we decided not to tell anyone about our current situation, so as not to cause panic.
"Ah Leng, what's wrong with you?" Miss Bai asked in a low voice, "Is there something uncomfortable?" β
Although the expression on her face was very cold, there was a caring tone in her tone, and my heart warmed, and I shook my head and said, It's okay.
"Oh, Sister Xin, you just feed him." Xiaoqing said.
"Hey, these two young men..."Yang Shujun smiled.
Now that they are joking with us again, Miss Bai is no longer blushing, just smiling faintly.
After chewing wax and eating this meal, he pushed me to the wind and walked outside.
"Hey, Xinmei paper, you Leng Langjun seems to have a tendency to break his sleeves, he shouldn't get along with Ah Feng, I really hope you have a fight with Ah Feng, you two are so good, see who is powerful..."
I glared at Xiaoqing, my face was blank, "If you talk nonsense again, I'll fight with you first." β
Xiaoqing smiled and grimaced at me.
Outside, Xiang Feng looked at the sky, and he liked to look up at the sky when he meditated on something, as if God would tell him what to do. Although it is said that a qiΔ action listens to me, when I encounter some major events, I am almost always listening to Xiang Feng.
"Ah Leng, let's go." Xiang Feng said, "Let's go to the peak and have a look." β
We brought mountaineering equipment with us, and we climbed all the way up a cliff, and the more we climbed, the more difficult it became, and in some places it was almost 90 degrees steep. Fortunately, Xiang Feng and I are both 'practitioners', and our skills and bodies are very good, but we are also tired and out of breath.
