I don't think it's fair to blame an underage girl for all of this.

Looking at the mute girl, I hesitated, but I still couldn't make up my mind to abandon her in the wilderness. I said to Fan Qiang, we have already killed so many people, so don't make any more killings, it's not a big deal to bring her.

Fan Qiang solemnly told me that it was okay to take care of her. If something goes wrong again, don't rely on him to turn his face and deny people.

I walked over and picked up the mute girl, stroked her hair, sighed, and said, "You are good." ”

I don't know if she understands or not, she wiped her tears and looked at me with big eyes.

We packed up and hurried out of the stone house. The mysterious Taoist who chased away the corpse was gone, and we came to the top of the mountain and looked around by the moonlight. I saw that on the other side of the mountain, under the shroud of darkness, there was a large patch of sparkling lights. In this light, there are several tall buildings with lights flashing on them. Fan Qiang and I both recognized that this kind of light was an aviation warning light, which was to avoid being hit by a low-altitude plane flying at night.

This thing says one thing, we see a modern civilized city!

We were so excited that we went down the hill in the direction of the city. The mountain road is very steep, and the view at night is not good, although we are anxious, but the speed is really not fast. Walk and stop, some places are really steep, and you have to squat down with both hands and feet together to turn over. It's okay for us two big men, but the key is a mute girl, and in order to take care of her, the speed is even slower.

Fan Qiang has been complaining to me, saying that I shouldn't have brought this burden, if it weren't for her, I guess we would be in the city by now.

I didn't abandon her in the stone house just now, and it's even more impossible to give up now. I didn't speak, and when I carried the mute girl up the hill, I had already secretly made up my mind that this would be the last time I would help her. Along the way, I have also been benevolent and righteous, and if something happens, don't blame me for being unkind.

Halfway up the mountain, an ancient building appeared in the dense forest, surrounded by stone paths and a few simple pavilions. Looking at the meaning of this building, it should be a tourism project developed locally. The surrounding residents are tired of climbing the mountain, and halfway up the mountain, there is an antique building here to rest and visit.

The building is paved with black roof tiles on both sides of the roof diagonally downward, with upturned cornices at the edges, and strings of wind chimes hanging under the eaves, and the wind blows the crisp sound of bells. When we came to the door, the building didn't have a gate, and we could see the inside at a glance. It was a two-fold courtyard, and there was still a light in the wing room of the courtyard on the first floor, and the light was faint, flickering and flickering, it should be a candle flame.

Fan Qiang made a gesture: "Let's go, go in and have a look." ”

I grabbed him: "Forget it, don't make any extraneous branches." ”

Fan Qiang leaned into my ear and whispered, "Liu Yang, let's leave this little girl here." This place must be inhabited, and they will naturally take her in. We still have a long way to go up the hill and it will be a hassle to take her with us. ”

I hesitated and glanced at the mute girl. The mute girl seemed to know what Fan Qiang was saying, and she puffed out her cheeks and looked at him angrily.

Fan Qiang sneered: "You see that she knows to hold grudges now, this is going to make her grow up, and she won't have to eat us." ”

He couldn't help but drag me inside, and I sighed and pulled the mute girl in. As I was about to enter, I looked up and saw the plaque on the door by the moonlight. There are two words written on the plaque, the first word is in traditional Chinese, and the strokes are complicated, and I don't know it. Behind it is the word "Zhuang".

Before he had time to think about it, he was pulled into the yard by Fan Qiang.

When the three of us arrived at the door of the main house, the two wooden doors were open, and Fan Qiang knocked on it, but no one answered. We glanced at each other and walked in, it was a small Buddhist hall, with a lantern burning on the table, an incense burner, and three long incense sticks inserted in it, and the smoke was faint. In the center is not a bodhisattva, but a fierce man with a black hair and a wide face. This man's eyes can be as big as a cow, the beard of his chin reaches his chest, and in the smoke, he is strange and hideous, very eerie.

When I looked at it, I felt irritable and congested, and I withdrew my eyes to look elsewhere. Who knew that Fan Qiang grabbed me and stumbled in his mouth: "Liu ...... Liu ......"

His face turned pale, and he looked extremely frightened. I laughed in my heart, such a wooden clay sculpture scares you like this? It's so unproductive.

Fan Qiang's lips trembled, and he almost cried, but he couldn't speak. I was so anxious that I couldn't do it: "What the hell is going on?" ”

It took him a long time to hold back a sentence: "Liu Yang, look at the name plate under the statue." ”

On the offering table, in front of the statue of the great man, there is a wooden plaque with four words written on it with a black pen dragon flying phoenix dance: Yama Tianzi.

"Why does this name sound so familiar?" I scratched my head.

"Have you forgotten, the one in the bone urn just now?" Fan Qiang can't say anything.

I suddenly woke up to the fact that just now Fan Qiang took the bone urn and found an ancient charm from a hundred years ago at the bottom of the urn, on which was written "Yama Tianzi Book".

I wiped my face, barely calmed down, thought for a while and said, "Don't be afraid, you think, a hundred years have passed, and the Maoshan Taoist priest whose Taoist name is Yama Tianzi must have hung up." He may have done some good deeds during his lifetime, leaving behind some legends, and the local people are also grateful to Dade, and set up a memorial arch for him to worship after his death, which is not unusual. ”

Fan Qiang calmed down, he tugged at my sleeve and muttered, "Yes, you're right. ”

I was so upset by the way he looked that I asked him what you think. Fan Qiang made a bitter face: "I always feel that something is wrong, evil, but I can't tell the truth, my heart is like a cat's paw scratching." ”

"There is an old saying that a blessing is not a curse, and a disaster cannot be avoided." I patted him.

I didn't think anything about it at first, but when Fan Qiang said this, I also felt that the atmosphere in this Buddhist hall was a little weird, and the more I stayed, the more uncomfortable I became. The eyes of the statue of the Son of Heaven seem to have very flexible eyes, and no matter what angle we stand, we feel that he is looking at us, which is very disturbing.

The three of us walked through the hall to the courtyard at the back, and through the second courtyard, the final room. We pushed the door open and went in, and we were stunned. There is a lot of space inside, the lights are dim, and there are actually two rows of coffins on display.

The coffins were all upright, with the coffin head facing the door, which was the direction we came in. The coffin did not fall to the ground, but was erected in mid-air with an old-fashioned bench. These coffins are all black coffins, and the style is very old, I am afraid that Chen can be here for many years.

I suddenly remembered the inscription on the door plaque of this building. The first character with complex strokes is the "righteousness" in traditional writing. Damn, this is Yizhuang! Yizhuang is a place where coffins are stored in the elderly. It's obsessive.

As soon as I talked to Fan Qiang, he patted his leg: "I'll just say how it's weird, so uncomfortable, let's go quickly." ”

We were about to turn around and walk when we faintly saw a group of people walking in at the gate outside. The person in the lead, holding a pole in one hand and a lantern in the other, is the red-clothed Taoist priest we saw chasing corpses.

"It's over, it's over." Fan Qiang was so anxious that he jumped up and down.

I also held back the fire: "I blame you!" I'm telling you not to make any extraneous branches, you have to drill into this unfortunate place. We're throwing ourselves into the net. ”

Fan Qiang was annoyed and ashamed, and turned around and punched the dumb girl. The dumb girl was defenseless, and was beaten back several steps by the sudden punch of an adult man, and sat on the ground with her butt unstable, and hit her head backwards. It was hitting a coffin, making a muffled sound, coincidentally, the coffin lid may have been unstable, so a hit, the coffin lid fell from above, smashed on the ground, "bang" like an explosion.

Fan Qiang and I were so frightened that we threw out a few drops of urine, couldn't breathe well, and were about to faint immediately.

The mute girl sat on the ground, holding her small mouth, tears flowing, but she couldn't make a sound, and she was so aggrieved that it was distressing.

The Taoist priest in the front yard obviously heard the voice, and the group rushed to the backyard where we were. The first issue now is not to hold accountable, but to go into hiding.

I pulled Fan Qiang, picked up the mute girl, and hid in the house. When I passed by the open coffin, Fan Qiang suddenly grabbed me and pointed to the coffin. His expression stiffened, and he couldn't speak.

I saw that on the inner wall of the coffin, the word "strong" written in blood was printed on it, which was shocking.

Fan Qiang was already on the verge of a mental breakdown, and his legs were about to collapse on the ground as soon as he saw this scene. I held it up, and to tell the truth, I was no less frightened than him at this time, and my heart was turned upside down. What does the word "strong" mean? Does it refer to the powder strong?

Fan Qiang's cheeks seemed to be bloodshot, crimson and crimson, he pushed me away and stumbled forward: "I can go!" ”

I tried to help him again, and he walked in a daze, hiding in the left corner with the mute girl. At this time, the figure of the Taoist priest had already entered the courtyard, and he was about to enter a few steps away. I didn't have time to think about it, and I made a decision at this moment not to hide with the pink and dumb girl, I subconsciously felt that neither of them was a good thing, and they were both unlucky.

I scurried to the right corner, where a huge coffin stopped, and I crouched behind it. As soon as he hid it, he saw the Taoist priest enter the house.

There were three of us, two on the left and one on the right, and across the aisle, Fan Qiang gestured to me. I didn't understand what it meant, maybe he told me to calm down.

I peeked through the gap between the coffin and the wall, and the Taoist priest put the hammer on the table, picked up the thin steel drill, picked the wick, and suddenly the fire was bright. He took up the lampstand and illuminated the room. We huddled in the corner, not daring to breathe.

He took the lampstand to the coffin with the clamshell and looked at it, shook his head slightly, and did not continue his actions. He set aside the lampstand, picked up the pole again, and tapped it gently, singing as he struck.

At the sound of the voice, I saw a group of people walking in from the courtyard. This group of people were the dead corpses that the Taoist priest had chased, they were wearing white clothes, their hair was scattered, their movements were stiff, and they walked in step by step. The four in front stood by the wall, their heads hung deeply. The Taoist priest took out four black hoods from the cloth bag and put them on their heads.

The four dead bodies who came in later placed the black coffin they were carrying on an empty bench.

Then the four corpses, like the ones in front of them, stood in a position by the wall, their hands buried in their hands and motionless. The Taoist priest took out four more black hoods and put them on their heads.
