The autumn rain is weak, sometimes heavy and sometimes small.

The earth, which had just been washed by the rain, smelled of mud stains.

Autumn leaves cling to the mud stains and dotting the muddy roads.

A group of seven people came from afar. But when I saw this pedestrian, three old and four young, there was talk and laughter.

The old beggar raised his head, looked at the sunset in the distance, and said to everyone: "It's not too early, there is no village in front of this place, and there is no shop in the back." I think let's move faster, find a place to stay, and hurry again tomorrow! ”

When everyone heard this, they no longer frolicked as before, but nodded in agreement, and quickened their steps.

The atmosphere was suddenly calm, and Wu Kang was a little uncomfortable, so he said: "Strange old man, to be honest, I still miss the days when we were in Luoyang, using the sky as a quilt and the earth as a bed!" At that time, it was really free!"

"Humph, stinky boy! You're still nostalgic!" When the old beggar heard this, the corners of his mouth hooked, and he "hummed" twice and said.

"I said stinky boy, haven't you always wanted to be a hero? Now how to miss the time to be a beggar! ”

"Shhhh Roast chicken old man, you don't look down on people! A beggar is good as a beggar, and a hero is good as a hero! ”

In the face of Li Changfeng's deliberate embarrassment, Wu Kang "sighed" and shouted out the nickname he gave Li Changfeng.

"Smack!"

"Ahh

"It's not big, it's not small!"

As soon as Wu Kang's words fell, the back of his head was blacked out by the old beggar.

"Just kidding, why should Lao Tao be serious? Boy, it doesn't hurt. Li Changfeng said with a smile on his face.

"Old man, you are less gloating......"

Wu Kang, who grinned in pain, heard the sound and did not forget to continue to speak venomously.

………

At the beginning of the moon, the night fell slightly.

The late autumn wind is slightly biting.

After a day's journey, seven people finally came to a ruined temple.

The dilapidated temple is in disrepair, and the front of the temple is overgrown with weeds, about half a person is so tall.

"It's getting late, why don't you just make do with it all night?"

Li Changfeng looked at the dilapidated temple and asked everyone's opinions.

After a day's journey, everyone who was already a little tired heard the words and nodded in agreement.

Everyone picked up a few pieces of firewood, came to the temple gate, and used firewood to block the cobwebs in front of the temple gate.

When he came to the temple gate, Wu Kang stretched out his hand and pushed it a few times, but he failed to push the old temple door open. Wu Kang looked down and found that the temple door was clasped with a rusty iron lock.

"Get out of the way!"

"Bang!"

Li Changfeng drew his long sword, a cold light flashed, and the iron lock was broken in two.

Wu Kang couldn't wait, and reached out to push open the wooden door. With a "squeak", a burst of dust came to his nose, and Wu Kang, who was choking, coughed one after another.

Seeing this, Li Changfeng couldn't help but laugh and stepped into the temple with his feet raised.

Looking through the faint moonlight, I saw that the temple was full of weeds and covered with a thick layer of ash. Directly in front of the temple gate, a stone table is placed, and a stone statue is enshrined on the stone table.

They took out the torch and lit the candles on the candlesticks. Soon, the faint candlelight illuminated the entire temple.

Everyone looked by the candlelight, and only then did they see the appearance of the stone statue on the stone table.

The ruined temple has been abandoned for a long time, and a thick layer of ash has fallen on the stone statue. But the stone statue had its eyes slightly closed, and its eyebrows were carved vividly.

The most peculiar thing is that the stone statue is also holding a large knife, and there is a dragon head carved at the edge of the knife, and the dragon head is carved more finely than the stone statue's eyebrows.

The eyes of the dragon head are shining brightly under the candlelight. It was like a real dragon descending to earth, revealing a chill.

In front of the stone statue, there is also a small incense burner, but the incense ash in the incense burner has already solidified, and it seems that no one has come to worship the incense for a long time.

A cold wind blew, and the coolness spread in the ruined temple.

Wu Kang looked at the faucet of the knife, and couldn't help swallowing his saliva and said, "You, you, do you feel that this, this knife is a little familiar?" ”

"Yes! It's pretty familiar......

"Ahh

Before Zhang Danshen could finish speaking, Xiao Yan on the side suddenly screamed.

"What's going on?"

Zhang Danshen took an arrow step, came to the girl's side, and held the girl up.

I saw that the girl's face was pale, and she pointed to the grass in front of her and said, "Corpse, corpse, child, corpse ......"

"What?!"

When everyone heard the sound, they stepped forward to take a look, and the scene in the haystack was terrifying.

I saw that there were several broken straw mats in the dry grass pile, and on the broken straw mats were three or four naked and shriveled baby corpses about seven or eight years old, which were piled up in one place. The most permeating thing is that these babies are disemboweled. All the internal organs were removed, and only an empty shell remained!

And the empty shell is full of disgusting maggots!

Everyone looked at the situation in front of them and was shocked. Even old rivers and lakes like the old beggar and Li Changfeng feel that the scene in front of them is too cruel at this moment!

Shocked, Wu Kang spoke: "This is too cruel! I don't know who is so vicious and will poison the child next time!"

The old beggar and Li Changfeng couldn't help but shake their heads when they looked at each other.

Wu Ming borrowed the candle flame. stepped forward to take a closer look and said, "These babies have been killed for at least three months!" ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but gasp, if it weren't for a few people passing by here and stumbling into the temple by mistake, the corpses of these poisoned children would be difficult to see the light of day again!

"When the road is uneven, draw a knife to help. Since we meet today, I'm afraid it's also providence, so it's better to let them settle in the ground! Guan Shouting looked at several corpses and said.

"Hmmm! Convenient with others, convenient with yourself! Since we're going to settle here, we're going to have to find a new place for them anyway! ”

The crowd gathered several babies in broken straw mats, and then went to the stone statues to pray and bow. However, just as he was kneeling, Guan Shouting couldn't help but look up, and suddenly felt that the stone statue in front of him was somewhat familiar, and then looked at it carefully by candlelight.

Guan Shouting stared at the stone statue all the time, and several people had already finished their kneeling and got up. Wu Kang patted the dust on his knees, and suddenly caught a glimpse of Guan Shouting kneeling motionlessly on the ground.

"Uncle Guan, what are you doing.....

Before Wu Kang's words fell, I saw Guan Shouting actually shed two lines of tears, which made Wu Kang confused! Everyone also looked over when they heard the voice, and when they saw Guan Shouting suddenly crying, they were also stunned. A few people, you look at me, I look at you, and finally look at Wu Kang. Wu Kang, who was innocent, also looked at everyone with the same eyes and waved his hand.

"Shou ......"

"Ancestor! Grandchildren are not filial!"

The old beggar was just about to speak, but Guan Shouting suddenly bent down and kowtowed to the stone statue repeatedly. Looking at Guan Shouting, who had been kowtowing, everyone's expressions were even more exciting.

In the end, it was Li Changfeng who reacted quickly and said: "Shouting is the Marquis of Hanshou Pavilion, if I guess correctly, what is enshrined in this temple is probably the Marquis of Hanshou Pavilion......"

As soon as Li Changfeng said this, everyone moved their eyes to the stone statue and looked at it carefully. Sure enough, the big knife in the stone statue's hand was exactly the same as the Qinglong Yanyue knife in Guan Shouting's hand.

After Guan Shouting kowtowed a few times, he stood up from the ground and said to everyone: "I recognize my great-ancestor below, I can't help myself for a while, and I still look at you Haihan." ”

Naturally, everyone waved their hands again and again, indicating that it was okay.

Subsequently, Guan Shouting discussed with everyone again and decided to clean up the temple of his great-grandfather.

So, the people decided to divide the army into three ways. Xiaoyan and Wu Ming stayed behind to help Guan Shouting clean the temple; Zhang Dan participated in Wu Kang's responsibility for carrying several bodies outside the temple for burial; Li Changfeng and the old beggar went out and went to the surrounding woods to find some branches to make a fire.

Zhang Dan participated in Wu Kang carrying several corpses to the woods behind the temple, and deliberately chose a large place. Then he found wood and made a simple shovel. The two of them took a simple shovel and began to get busy.

After about half an hour of busy work, I finally dug a few decent pits. The two used straw mats to put the baby's corpse into the pit one by one, and then buried it.

The two of them, who have been busy for so long, can be described as sweating profusely and out of breath from exhaustion.

"Whew! It's really hard to use this broken tree! I'm exhausted! Wu Kang threw the "shovel" in his hand aside and said.

"Let's go, let's go! My hands are almost blistering! Zhang Danshen sat on the ground, out of breath.

After resting for a while, they returned the same way in the direction of the temple.

"Huh!"

A cold wind blew, and neither of them shivered.

"Whew! It's a little cold!"

"Hah! Let's go fast! It's been a tiring day! ”

However, the two did not notice that they were in the woods behind them. A white shadow floated by!

When the two returned to the temple, they saw that the temple had already been cleaned by Guan Shouting and the three of them. And the old beggar and Li Changfeng had already returned to the temple and built a bonfire with the branches they had picked up.

At this time, everyone was gathering around the bonfire to warm up their bodies.

"Why have you two been around for so long! I thought something was wrong! Come over and warm up over the fire!"

Guan Shouting, who was in a good mood, saw the two returning, and hurriedly cared about the two. The trembling two hurriedly sat down by the bonfire, and under the burning of the bonfire, the two quickly warmed up.

Because it is in the wild, it is natural to have someone on duty at night. After some deliberation, the order was quickly sorted out. Except for Xiaoyan, each of the six people took turns to be on duty for an hour until dawn.

Guan Shouting was in a good mood because he saw Guan Yu's temple, and he was the first person on duty.

With Guan Shouting's duty and the warmth of the bonfire, everyone who was tired for a day soon fell asleep.

The moon was hidden in the clouds, and soon it was the second half of the night. At this time, the person in charge of duty was Zhang Danshen. Zhang Danshen sat by the bonfire, and was on duty.

At this time, Xiaoyan, who was asleep, suddenly woke up from his sleep. It turned out that Xiaoyan wanted to solve the problem, but because he was frightened before, he had to let Zhang Dan participate in being his companion.

After Zhang Danshen heard this, he stretched out his hand and shook Wu Kang on the side, and asked Wu Kangti to be on duty for a while. After Wu Kang, who was asleep, was shaken awake, he agreed without hesitation.

When Zhang Dan saw Wu Kang wake up, he relieved himself and accompanied the girl out of the temple.

When Wu Kang saw the two leaving, his eyes were wide at first, and he kept it in good spirits. But in the second half of the night, people are most likely to get sleepy. Wu Kang was drowsy after a while, and his upper and lower eyelids couldn't stop fighting.

Let's say that Zhang Dan participated in the small research out of the temple and came to the woods not far from the temple. The girl went into the woods to relieve herself, and Zhang Danshen stayed outside, waiting for the girl.

At this time, Yuehua was completely covered by dark clouds. But the good thing is that you can still see your surroundings clearly. Zhang Danshen didn't care, so he looked around.

However, just as Zhang Danshen was looking around, a girl's scream came from the forest.

Hearing this, Zhang Danshen hurriedly ran into the forest. After running a few steps, he saw the girl running towards him with an anxious face. Ignoring her feet, the girl suddenly tripped over a branch.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Danshen hurriedly stretched out his hand to support the girl.

"Yes, there are ghosts!" The girl was sweating profusely and pointed behind her.

Zhang Danshen looked up and couldn't help but be surprised, only to see dozens of steps away. A figure in white clothes with a cloak of hair scattered was coming towards the two of them.

Zhang Danshen looked down, and his heart was even more shocked, because the figure had no feet and was floating......
