Speaking of this, the pine torch we lit gradually dimmed, and soon burned out, so we quickly replaced two pine candles on the light, this pine candle is a kind of earthen candle in the mountain, very simple, the disadvantage is that it burns quickly, not as good as the regular candle burning, when going out to walk at night, it can also deal with it, it is better than no light.

I said to the fat man and the swallow that since this place is only a Huangpizi Temple, there is nothing surprising about it, so we should chase the poor man with the remaining Yong, go to the apse and catch the "Yellow Fairy Gu", and then rush back to the forest farm before dark.

"Huang Xiangu" was stuffed with a muggle by the fat man, the anus was sealed with yellow wax, and the hind legs were also tied with wires, and now it can neither make a sound, nor let go of stinky farts, and it can't climb fast, almost half a life left, so we are not worried that it will fly with wings, and the three of them unhurriedly searched into the depths of the stone hall.

The depth of the stone hall of Wong Tai Sin Temple is limited, the back gable wall is built according to the mountain wall, tightly fitted, the whole stone hall only the stone gate we come in is the only portal, and there is no back door, the top wall of the stone beam and stone brick is damaged in several places, and the cold wind is poured down, the top may be a tree hole on the hillside or a hole in the ground, but the gap is not less than a palm wide, and "Huang Xiangu" can not drill out from here.

There is a half-dumped mud statue in the hall, which is the god of Wong Tai Sin, the clay man wears a robe, and the general height of ordinary people, the image is more anthropomorphic, just a roe deer rat eye, there are a few mustaches on the side of the mouth, or very close to the weasel face, there is a hole behind the mud statue of Wong Tai Sin, and a stone step is built below to lead to the deeper underground, it seems that "Huang Xiangu" must have escaped from here, wanting to seek the blessing of its ancestors.

I think this manhole is so peculiar, the mouth of the manhole should have been paved with green bricks, and now those green bricks have been pried open and thrown aside, this is obviously a secret passage extremely hidden entrance, it seems that this is pried open of the manhole, maybe it is the group of people who dug up the ancient temple underground, they are obviously here to do something, what are they looking for? Could it be the bronze box in the local legend that Wong Tai Sin is a treasure?

I and the swallow held the pine candle one after the other, the fat man walked in the middle with the guy, the three of them walked down the steps step by step, the stone steps are steep and narrow, the ground is cold and bone-chilling, I walked while the question just now to the fat man and the swallow briefly, the fat man said: "Lao Hu, you are really smart and confused for a while, you didn't see when you came down just now, how thick is the soil on the tunnel mouth?" That's all the rain washed down from the mountain mud and stone buried again, even if someone went into the mountain to dig treasure before, it should have been dozens of hundreds of years ago, what good things have already been taken away by them, can you still leave it to us, now go in the cucumber vegetables are cold, every once in a while to catch a few small yellow skins, in exchange for a few catties of fruit candy I will be satisfied, you don't have to be satisfied, don't we still have a bear paw and golden soybeans? In the past two days, we have really made a fortune by picking up foreign children, and our travel expenses to visit relatives during the Spring Festival and the money for tobacco and alcohol in the future are all settled. ”

I talked to the fat man and the swallow and walked down, only to find that this place is much deeper than I imagined, my heart drummed, I can't guess where this leads, the more you go down, the worse the air quality, but you can still breathe, the most unbearable thing is that the flame of the pine candle turns from blue to green, the light is strong and weak, and the face is covered with a layer of blue light, I have never seen a ghost, but I estimate that if there is a ghost, the face is not much worse than we are now.

The pine candle is not only smoking, the flame is not big, even if there is no wind, sometimes it will extinguish itself, I hold the pine candle in one hand, and the other hand is half-close to the flame, in case it is extinguished by the air flow driven by my own breathing and walking, but this earthen candle is inferior in craftsmanship after all, so careful, or suddenly extinguished.

As soon as the pine candle in my hand was extinguished, it was pitch black immediately, I stopped and wanted to relight it before leaving, but the fat man behind me followed too closely, and the stairs were narrow, and I couldn't hold my steps, and I couldn't stand steady by his arch, and the swallow who walked at the end saw that the two of us were going to roll down the steps, and hurriedly reached out to pull the fat man's arm, but she couldn't hold the fat man, and fell downstairs with us.

Fortunately, the stone steps were almost at the end, and we were dressed thickly, so we didn't suffer any injuries, but the loose candle in the swallow's hand was also extinguished, and I couldn't see the five fingers in front of me, so I rubbed my sore elbow, trying to find a loose candle from my satchel to see where we had fallen.

But as soon as I sat up, I felt that my head in a fur hat had hit something, and there was something dangling around my face, and there was a rope rubbing against the wood at a higher place, and there was a dry friction sound of "squeak, squeak", and I thought to myself. Feel at it, judging from the feel, it seems to be the kind of thick-soled kicking cow cotton shoes in the Northeast before, and then there are human feet in the hard tie inside, and then there are calves and stomachs wearing cotton pants, and the trouser legs are still tied, I was shocked, the sole of the shoes is just parallel to my head and face, who is dangling with his feet dangling in the air? That must be the hanged ghost, the black light blinded the fire in the dark, actually touched a hanged corpse, the northeast mountain area called the hanged ghost "old hanger", all the legends about the "old hanger" are extremely terrifying, although I never believed, but when it came to the end, not afraid of that weird, I couldn't help but scream "ah" at that time.

I frightened the swallow and the fat man who fell beside me, the fat man fell the hardest, the tail bone cushioned on the horn of the stone steps, and he was inhaling cold air in pain, and at this time he was still lying on the ground and did not get up, listening to my frightened exclamation, I couldn't help but be very worried, and asked me: "What's wrong with you, Lao Hu?" You...... What are you screaming about? You'd better give it a look. ”

I was indeed a little frightened just now, and I forgot to let go of the dead man's feet holding the dead man hanging in the air, and when I heard the fat man's question, I didn't know how to explain, and replied casually: "I...... I...... This pair of feet...... Scared the hell out of me. ”

Swallow was probably frightened by me, and in the dark I heard her say in a panic: "Huh? Why are you dead? You must not die, when I went back to Tunzi to scold me, I was still counting on you to carry the black pot for me, what can I do if you die. ”
