With the driving of the car, I have entered the territory of Yangzhou after driving for more than five hours.

Yangzhou is actually not very big, because when I got off the highway, the navigation reminded me that it only took 40 minutes to enter the city of Yangzhou.

It was late afternoon, so I opened the window of my car and stopped on the side of the road to light a cigarette. I have to say that just on the outskirts of the city, I already feel the green beauty of Yangzhou.

On both sides of the roadway, there is a long shade of greenery, and on the side of the road is a piece of land, planted with crops, some leeks, some rape flowers, and some purple and blue flowers blooming on the side of the road.

Not far away, there are some streams that are flowing slowly, and next to the stream, there are classical Jiangnan houses, which sit quietly in rows. It was evening, and a little smoke was starting to rise above many of the houses.

Although there is no taste of dead vines and old trees, it has a unique Jiangnan pastoral flavor.

I stopped the car, and after five hours of driving, I was a little tired, especially when I saw this kind of warm sight, I couldn't help but want to come down and take a breather.

"Whew."

I slowly exhaled a puff of cigarette and stretched, it was really tiring to drive all the way, and my stomach was growling.

Forget it, let's eat first. I rubbed my neck again, and then I started the car again and drove slowly towards the city.

The first time I came to Yangzhou, I was still quite apprehensive, after all, it was a completely unfamiliar city, and I didn't even know anyone, so it was inevitable that I would feel a little flustered.

I drove around aimlessly, and when I saw a place that was pleasing to me, I would go to eat at any of them.

Suddenly, a dazzling night scene in the distance caught my eye. It was a tower-like building, perched on top of a hillside, with colorful light bars hanging from it, and even a ball resembling a pearl of the night emitting white light at the top.

"It's pretty good," I whispered, then found a free parking space, parked the car, and found a Northeast dumpling restaurant nearby to prepare for dinner.

As soon as I sat down, a woman in her thirties came over and asked in an authentic Northeast accent, "What do you want little brother to eat?" ”

Wow, this is still an authentic Northeast dumpling restaurant, and the proprietress is from the Northeast.

I looked at the menu, ordered half a catty of dumplings and asked for a small cold dish, and asked casually, "Sister, is there a place to stay near here?" ”

After the eldest sister passed the menu to the back kitchen, she smiled and said, "You're not a local, are you?" If you stay, there is a hotel next to a junction. ”

Do I need to ask, if I'm a local...... There's no need to ask if there's a place to stay near here.

But I still nodded: "Thank you, eldest sister, hey, eldest sister, I just saw a tower-like building over there that is shining, it's very beautiful, where is that?" ”

The eldest sister lowered her head and thought about it and said, "You should be talking about Daming Temple!" Yangzhou Daming Temple is so famous! You don't even know this, do you? ”

In the first year of Renshou in the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Yang Jian celebrated his birthday, issued an edict to build 30 towers in the whole country, to support the Buddha's bones, the temple built "Qiling Tower", the tower is nine floors high, magnificent and magnificent, known as "China's especially Jun special", so the temple is also called "Qiling Temple".

Master Jianzhen of the Tang Dynasty served as the abbot of Daming Temple, making Daming Temple an important ancient temple in the history of Sino-Japanese Buddhist cultural relics relations. In the third year of Tang Huichang, the nine-story Qiling Pagoda was destroyed by fire. Later, it was rebuilt by the monks, but the world is unpredictable, and there are always changes.

During the Qingli period of the Northern Song Dynasty, Ouyang Xiu appointed Yangzhou to build Pingshan Hall on time. During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, Wu Xiu, the prefect of Yangzhou, rebuilt the Daming Temple, and Yang Ren, the 12th year of Chongzhen, was willing to rebuild again.

In the prosperous era of Qing Kangqian, Daming Temple expanded to be the first of the eight famous temples in Yangzhou. In the 30th year of Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty, Qianlong toured Yangzhou and changed the title to "Fajing Temple".

However, in the third year of Xianfeng, the Taiping army occupied Yangzhou, and Fajing Temple was destroyed in the war. In the ninth year of Tongzhi, the Fajing Temple was rebuilt.

The history of Daming Temple is bumpy, but there is no doubt that it will always tell the world about its glory as one of the holy places of Buddhism.

I didn't say anything more, ordered a bottle of half a catty of white wine and drank the dumplings.

It's not that I'm addicted to alcohol, it's just that I'm bored and a little hesitant when I first come here, so I want to drink some alcohol to relieve my fatigue.

Half a catty of white wine in my stomach, I felt that my steps had begun to drift a little.

It's okay, it's a little less annoying.

So I locked the car and slowly walked towards the street that the proprietress had told me about while enjoying the scenery on the side of the road.

Surprisingly, the nine-story pagoda of Daming Temple made me feel particularly yearning, I just wanted to go over and have a look, but I drank and it was inconvenient to drive, so I decided to find a place to stay tonight to have a good rest.

I didn't know where to go, so I wandered around for a while and opened a room in a roadside hotel, but I was still a little bored in my heart, and even a little afraid, and I didn't know what was going on.

Forget it, I don't want to, I don't think about it anymore when I can't figure it out, anyway, I don't know, so let him go.

Actually, I wasn't drunk, but I walked a little shaky because of alcohol, but my consciousness was still very clear, so I cleaned up my room and went out for a walk, trying to relax.

It's okay if it doesn't come out, but as soon as it comes out, my wine worm began to tickle in my heart again, and finally I couldn't help but buy another half a catty of liquor at the roadside shop, and slowly strolled around while drinking the wine in one hand.

I didn't know where to go or where the road was going, I just wanted to take a walk and relax.

As I walked, I noticed that there were fewer pedestrians on the road, not even fewer pedestrians, and there were a lot fewer passing cars, and I realized that I was in a more suburban location, not in the city center.

But I prefer a quiet environment, which in my eyes is not as comfortable as this environment.

As I wandered aimlessly, I found a small hill in front of me!

And near the hills, there are several small rivers flowing slowly. I don't know if it's because I've drunk too much or because I'm itching, but my steps are a little faster, and I want to go to the hill to take a look.

Because from my current point of view, there are mountains extending on the left and right sides of this small hill, and there is a lake in front of it, which is a small river near the mountain, which comes to the front of the hill and then circles around the hill a few bends before converging here to form a lake, which is a treasure of feng shui!

I poured another sip of wine, and hurried away excitedly, this kind of feng shui treasure does not say the princely generals, at least the children and grandchildren have no worries about food and clothing, wealth and auspiciousness.

Call...... Call......

A cool autumn breeze blew, but I drank the wine, and I was hot at the moment, and I didn't feel cold, this kind of feng shui pattern is actually quite common, just because I have itchy skills, I have to see if it is the right situation I thought.

As I got closer, I realized that there were several openings in this small lake, and the water was slowly flowing in and out, and just on the other side of the place where I was standing, there was a convex and concave hillside blocking the way of the water, although it was not very tall, but it was enough to hide the wind and absorb the qi.

In the method of feng shui, the water is the first, and the Tibetan wind is secondary.

And this place is surrounded by sand, and there is water to hold, and the wind does not come out.

Fortunately, there will be no strong winds to blow away the gathered qi in this place, otherwise this feng shui pattern may become a broken situation.

I looked up at the sky and saw that the moon was hanging high, and the moonlight on the ground was very transparent. This kind of place does not produce princes and generals, and it can definitely be rich and noble for life!

Thinking of this, I poured two more sips of wine, my tongue was already starting to knot, and the alcohol was already starting to get a little up. I yawned, tears welled up in my eyes, and then I opened my mouth and sang:

The ice wheel of the island is beginning to turn

Seeing the jade rabbit, the jade rabbit rose east early

The ice wheel is far from the island, and the sky is very clear

When the moon is in the sky, it is just like Chang'e leaving the Moon Palace

This paragraph is the lyrics in the Peking Opera "The Drunken Concubine".

I was suddenly shocked, I can't sing Peking Opera at all! Why did you suddenly sing such a play?

It's not good, there is an evil spirit that wants to possess me! I figured it out in an instant that I wasn't singing it at all, it was something on this mountain that borrowed my mouth to sing!

Smack.

Smack.

Smack.

Suddenly, there was a sound of thin footsteps on the hill behind me.

I jerked my head back, only to see that there was nothing.

There's definitely something! And I could even feel a yin aura looming among the trees on that hill.

"Phew." I spat at the foam, and although I had drunk some wine, I had not lost my mind, so I quickly recited a talisman in my heart, and then followed the sound and walked slowly into the forest.

Smack...... Smack......

The footsteps came and went, and seemed to be in front of me, but I just couldn't see him, and by the moonlight, I drank the rest of the wine in one go, and used the bottle as a weapon, and slowly moved forward.

The more I couldn't see him, the more curious I became, perhaps because of alcohol, and I felt fearless and even a little excited.

The pace became faster and faster, and I changed from moving slowly to walking briskly, but no matter how I walked, I couldn't see the figure, I could only feel that he was always in front of me.

A cold wind hit, and I was holding a wine bottle in one hand and a sword trick in the other, staring carefully ahead, I wanted to see what was controlling me just now.

As I walked, I found a stone gate!

The plaque of the gate is engraved with several large characters: Martyrs' Cemetery.

I was suddenly shocked, no wonder! No wonder! The feng shui situation in this place has long been seen by others and used as a martyr's cemetery, and it seems that there are still masters.

But that's right, since it is a martyr's cemetery, you must find a good place to be buried. In this case, it can be regarded as an explanation for them.

Haw.

A strange sound came, and I jerked my gaze at the place where the sound came from in the cemetery.

Taking advantage of the moonlight, I looked carefully for a while, but there was still nothing!

What the hell is it? Dare to make trouble in the martyrs' cemetery!

The surrounding trees rattled in the autumn wind, and the swaying branches were like waving ghost hands, so I made up my mind and walked up from a road next to the martyr's cemetery.

It's a pity that the gate of this martyr's cemetery is locked, and the main gate can't be entered, so I can only take a detour to try to see if I can find my way in.

I don't know what time it is, but it's already moonlit at the moment, and the yin qi is a little thick.

As the road got deeper and deeper, I could feel the yin qi getting heavier and heavier, and even the hairs stood up, and I was sure that I was about to find that thing!

The trees on both sides began to grow luxuriant, and I finally saw a building that made me feel creepy—an antique-style old mansion with two bright red lanterns hanging at the door, and on both sides of the gate, there were trees and bamboo forests, and I couldn't see anything inside.

I quickly recited the talisman in my heart, and walked steadily to the door, but I saw something even more surprising!

There is a small road opposite the gate, because of the obstruction of trees and bamboo forests, I didn't see it just now, but now standing at the gate I saw the path, which is full of tombstones and grave bags!

To be honest, I really feel a little trembling in my heart, this scene is so weird!

Twitter.

That strange sound again! I can be sure that the sound is coming from the depths of that path!

There is a magic in the depths of the path, and you can't help but want to go inside. I squeezed the bottle in my hand, settled down, and slowly walked into the path in the middle of the bamboo forest.

This turned out to be a mass grave!

A mass grave hidden outside the martyr's cemetery!

I walked slowly along the path, a small dirt road that could only accommodate one person, and the road was lined with graves and a mess of tombstones with no end in sight.

Ga! Ga!

With a bird's call, several unknown birdies above me suddenly fluttered their wings and flew away from the trees.

I shuddered, and the words on the tombstones stood out in the moonlight.

Twitter –

It's that voice again! I hurried towards the place where the sound had come from, and as I walked through the piles of graves and bamboo groves, I finally saw where the sound came from!

In the miserable white moonlight, seven or eight yellow skins as big as cats carried a small coffin in the mass grave! And on the coffin sat an even bigger yellow skin!

It sat cross-legged on the coffin like a human, its eyes staring at me evilly, and I could even feel its malicious smile, its two little paws raised above its head, as if it was worshipping the moon, and it seemed to be praying for something.

But now! It's staring at me! And the chirping sound was the cry of the yellow skins carrying the coffin under it!
