"Pull it down." Li Yang said: "How do I feel that it is a building. ”

When he reminded him, I said, "Yes, I feel like a building." There are cornices and tiled roofs, and it looks a bit like an ancient building in Kyoto, Japan. ”

Li Yang took a deep breath: "Just look at it." ”

He raised his flashlight to shine it, and in the darkness, a huge building appeared not far away.

As soon as the building appeared, we were stunned at the same time. It turns out that this is an ancient Taoist temple.

The Tao has been looking at it for many years, and the first time I saw it, it made people feel a strong sense of antiquity. The tall walls outside are mud walls painted with yellow paint, and the doors of the Taoist temple are arched with cornices, and the gate is bright red, which is composed of two semicircular door panels on the left and right. There is a wooden sign hanging on the top of the gate, and three golden characters are faintly written, which should be the name of the view. The most strange thing is that there are two black pig iron lamp stands placed on the left and right in front of the door.

Visually, this Taoist temple is three stories high and looks majestic, but from a distance, there is a feeling of lifelessness. It exudes a different kind of weird atmosphere, which is particularly eerie.

We looked at each other and walked slowly, three flashlights swaying on the red gate. The closer I got, the more I felt the palpitating depression, the blockage in my heart, and the unspeakable trouble.

When we came to the door, we raised our heads, and Li Yang used a flashlight to shine on the blue wooden sign on the lintel, and gently recited: "Yin and Yang view." ”

Copperlock muttered to himself, "Awesome! Have you heard of it? An ancient Taoist temple is hidden in the modern building! It's a big project, and you have to keep this secret from outsiders, it's awesome! ”

Li Yang said: "I heard that there is such a temple in Taiwan, called Taichung Zen Temple. The whole is built in a luxurious office building, shaped like a white lotus, and the scale is much larger than the one in front of you, which is said to be more than 150 meters. However, Lao Tong's sentence is right, it is not something that ordinary people can do to build such a building in secret. ”

The copper lock said, "How about the two of you, let's stop here, or go in and have a look." ”

Li Yang smiled: "If I go back like this, I'm afraid that I will lose sleep every night." It's all coming, don't look at it in vain. ”

He walked to the door, hesitated, reached out and put his hand on the door, looking at us: "I pushed the door." ”

"Wait." I blurted out at the same time as the copper lock.

I said to the copper lock at the same time: "You speak first." ”

Li Yang was a little anxious: "Which of you said it was different. Lao Liu, you say first, what do you mean by waiting? ”

I touched my chest and said, "I always feel that something is not right, there is a kind of ...... Say it, don't spray me...... There was an ominous premonition that something was going to happen. ”

Li Yang waved his hand: "It's still the same sentence, I'm afraid to go back by myself, we are acting voluntarily and not forced." I'm definitely going to enter, what about you? ”

Copper lock said: "I'm not as timid as Lao Liu, I shouted and waited because I thought of a problem." ”

"What's the problem?"

"Before we go in, do you want to light these two ancient lamps in front of the door?"

"Damn, what are you doing with the lights?" Li Yang asked.

Copper lock said: "I always feel that it makes no sense to put these two ancient lamps at the door. I don't know any Taoist rules, but I often travel to a lot of Taoist temples, and I've never seen such an arrangement. Putting a light at the door here, whether there is a special meaning, or what mechanism can be triggered, in short, try it to know the way. ”

"Rest, clean up your bad thoughts." Somehow, I was anxious: "Don't make any extraneous branches. Let's just go in and have a look, and then we'll leave. ”

Li Yang raised the flashlight to shine on the two ancient lanterns, and he was startled when he saw it. The shape of the ancient lampstand resembles that of a demon, with unkempt hair, sticking to the head like a skeleton, and its eyes are two black holes, looking straight ahead. With both hands in an offering position, he lifted the lampstand above his head.

The copper lock shines a flashlight on the lampstand, and under the light spot, you can see that there is still most of the black and yellow lamp oil inside, and when you smell it carefully, it faintly exudes a mushy smell. Our faces changed, indicating that it was likely that someone had lit these two ancient lamps not long ago.

Li Yang scratched his head: "I also have a bad feeling, so I won't light the lamp, don't make any extraneous branches." Let's go in and have a look, take a look and go. ”

He pushed two red planks, easily and easily. But the door was only opened by a gap, and it could never be opened again. He lay on the crack of the door, looked in with a flashlight, swept the light spots, and vaguely saw that there were huge temple pillars inside, and there seemed to be a great tripod, and the angle was limited, and he couldn't see anything anymore.

Li Yang took out a field folding knife from his pocket, leaned against the gate, leaned in with his right hand, pulled back and forth, and didn't know what he was cutting.

I asked what was wrong.

He said: "Someone tied the hands inside the gate with a trouser belt, damn it, don't let us in." ”

It didn't take long, but I heard a "click", and a black shadow fell to the ground. Li Yang pushed the door, the heavy door opened in response, it is estimated that the door shaft has not been oiled for a long time, and the "crunch" friction sound is very sharp, and it is particularly harsh to sound in the dark.

Pushing open the door, he picked up the dark shadow from the ground, and in the light of the flashlight, he could see that it was a long snakeskin trouser belt. I saw this thing and smiled.

The copper lock next to him was laughed by me: "Damn, what are you laughing at." ”

I breathed a long sigh of relief, and I felt an indescribable tiredness: "This trouser belt belongs to Li Damin, I know it." ”

Li Yang looked at me. Don't look at him and Li Damin as brothers with relatives, but in terms of distance, I am much closer than him. Li Damin's trouser belt is said to have been brought back by his mother when she went to Hong Kong to burn the flask, and it is also a famous brand in the world. This kid often stumbles in front of me, deliberately showing off his trouser belt, and I nickname him Lee Belt.

Now when I see this belt and think about things, I feel sad and have the urge to cry.

Li Yang also seemed to think of something, he sighed: "The life and death of the great man are uncertain, and his whereabouts are unknown, but at least it shows that he has been here, and the direction we are pursuing is correct." ”

The copper lock suddenly said: "What does Li Damin mean by tying the belt to the doorknob?" Don't let outsiders in? ”

Li Yang nodded: "Obviously." ”

Copper Lock smiled: "If you really want to enter, what can a belt do?" ”

Perhaps, this is an attitude he wants to express. I said, "Warn those who come after you that this is dangerous and that you will bear the consequences." ”

Li Yang waved his hand and said, don't think so much, come in.

The three of us walked into the red gate of the Taoist temple, and inside was a large hall, empty and poorly furnished. The main hall is supported by several pillars surrounded by two people, and because of disrepair, the surface is peeling off the paint, revealing dark gray cement, which looks like the gray hair of an old man hanging down. In the center of the main hall is a shrine with a lotus-shaped throne, but there is no idol on the seat. I don't know if it was not supplied at all, or if it was taken away.

In front of the shrine, there is a blue-green ancient tripod, which can be about one meter and a half high, and has three legs under the tripod, which is supported on the ground of the blueslate stone.

I walked over to take a closer look, and the surface of Gu Ding was engraved with many unknown patterns, like a face, and I could see two round eyes, expressionless, cold and abnormal, staring blankly ahead.

I was so surprised that I was about to reach out and touch it. Li Yang stopped me: "Could it be that this is a mixed Yuan Ding?" ”

"What is the Mixed Yuan Ding?" I asked.

Copper Lock said to the side: "You never play online games? ”

"I don't have time."

The copper lock scoffed: "You mess around every day, you don't have time, pretend to be busy." Mixed Yuan Ding is a prop in online games. ”

"Don't listen to him." Li Yang said: "I have read Taoist materials before, and the Mixed Yuan Ding is said to be an artifact used to transcend the undead. ”

"Excess?" I wondered, "Isn't transcendence a Buddhist concept?" ”

"There are also Taoists, and as far as I know, a few branches of Taoism can engage in transcendence. The process and rituals are also quite complicated, such as fasting, setting up altars, and chanting. The Mixed Yuan Ding is a very important transcendent artifact, the soul of the dead falls into the tripod, and burns it with real fire, and the soul of the dead does not wander in the world, but is put into the afterlife. ”

I looked at the tripod, and it was covered with a bronze lid. The lid is covered with strange patterns, arranged in a very peculiar pattern, like a spiraling open lotus. After careful study, I felt that this pattern was meaningless and extremely strange.

I couldn't resist my curiosity, so I gently stroked the lid with my hand, my tentacles were cold, and a thought suddenly arose in my heart, what is in this statue?

I grabbed the brass ring handle on it, saw that the two of them weren't paying attention, and secretly tried to lift the lid hard. Who knew that the broken lid was ridiculously heavy, and I lifted it a few times, but it didn't move.

Copper lock and Li Yang were walking around the hall with flashlights at this time. I simply let go of it, kicked on the body, grabbed the copper ring with both hands, and dragged it out.

Just hear a "crunch" sound, and the lid lifts a gap.

The voice was so sharp that the two of them heard it coming. Li Yang looked at my action, and his expression was distorted: "Fuck, what are you doing?" ”

The copper lock was also a little annoyed when he saw me lift the lid: "You don't know how not to touch it there." ”

I couldn't stand my face when they said: "I didn't agree to enter the Taoist temple, you have to enter!" One by one, it's like a ghost. Now I'm just curious to lift the lid and take a look, and you guys will attack it in groups, what do you mean! ”

What else did the copper lock want to say, Li Yang waved his hand, cleared his throat and said, "Don't be impatient, everyone." Lao Liu, even if we come in to explore, it is also scientific and planned. Caution is especially necessary in such a dangerous place. Okay, next time, I'll see what's inside. ”

He used his flashlight to shine through the gap in the lid, it was dark and not in the middle of winter, although he couldn't see anything, but he felt that there must be something, and it was not empty. Li Yang squinted and looked at it for a long time, but he couldn't see what to do, the gap I pulled out was too narrow, and only he who was standing directly opposite could see it, and he couldn't peep at other angles at all.

The copper lock was anxious on the side: "Can you do it, if you can't get out of the way, I'll see." ”

Li Yang didn't answer, handed over the flashlight for me to hold, and then he stretched out his hands and grabbed the copper ring on the lid, put one foot on Ding's body, and pulled it out desperately.

He used all his strength, the green tendons on his neck jumped up, and scolded the copper lock: "Look at what, come and help!" ”

The two of them, one pulling and the other, let out a low roar in their throats, and sure enough, the lid moved, and the gap became bigger and bigger.
