Chapter 5: Frightened Night
Everything in the world is born once and matured twice, step by step. If you ask people sensitive questions coldly, who can tell you?
Xiaoyu flickered and coaxed, and gave heavy profits, and finally pried open the hawker's mouth, willing to tell him about this Zhong Kui Temple.
This town is called Fufeng Town, in a wasteland in the east of the town, there is a Zhong Kui Temple, built in the previous dynasty, has a history of more than 100 years.
At the beginning, this Zhong Kui Temple was regarded as a god's dojo to protect one side, and the incense was prosperous, and it was worshiped by the people of ten miles and eight towns, and it is said that it was also quite effective. There is also a temple management specially appointed by the government.
But ten years ago, there was an earthquake in the mountains, and some evil things followed.
When it was, the houses in the vicinity for more than ten miles were all destroyed, but Zhong Kui Temple was fine, and people said...... It was Zhong Kui's Heavenly Master's manifestation, who was not disturbed by Tai Sui's ferocity, and worshipped it even more.
But..... It was after that earthquake that this temple became a fierce temple, first the temple Zhu hanged himself on the main hall beam, and then ..... There are pilgrims who go to incense one after another, and their temperament changes greatly after returning home, and within three or five days after that, they will definitely commit suicide by hanging the beam, and the evil door is extreme!
In this way, who would dare to go to the incense to worship? Zhong Kui Temple was also neglected and decayed.
In the days that followed, one after another...... There are also some people, some from their own hometown, and some from other villages, I don't know if they have fallen into evil or what? They ran to the temple again, and this wave simply did not even return home, and hanged themselves directly on the big tree near the temple...... In the past ten years, there have been dozens of lives, it's evil!
At the beginning, the family cried and shouted in the past to collect the corpse, but if you take off the person on the front foot, someone in the family on the back foot must hang himself.
The government can't help the temple, it doesn't dare to demolish it, it doesn't dare to touch it, but fortunately, it is "notorious", and no one dares to provoke it, so it is "isolated" in the wasteland......
The people in the town also regard Zhong Kui Temple as a "big taboo", and they don't dare to mention it, for fear of getting into trouble!
"Brother, if you ask the villagers where the Zhong Kui Temple is, it's the same as asking people where the ghost door is closed...... I won't dare to mention it in the future!" the old peddler kindly reassured.
"Oh, oh......" Xiaoyu nodded thoughtfully, and continued to ask: "Brother, is there an ancient tomb in our mountain?"
"This ......" the peddler scratched his head, "I haven't heard of it, I don't know." ”
"Okay!" Xiaoyu continued to ask with a smile, "Then ..... Brother, don't laugh at me, I'm from a dirty ravine, and I don't have much knowledge. ”
The vendor looked at Xiaoyu incredulously, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, but he also responded honestly: "Now..... I can't say which dynasty or generation, after the death of the Tang Dynasty, the emperor took turns to sit, and I don't know whose family it is next year? What King Liang, King Chu, King Han, King Song, one change after a while, by the way, brother, I haven't asked you yet, you came to our town, are you looking for relatives, or ......? Look at what you mean..... It looks like you're going to live for a long time. ”
Xiaoyu is so smart, she has already sensed some psychological changes in the other party from her eyes..... This person took a golden hairpin to buy cakes to eat, and inquired about the ancient tomb or Zhong Kui Temple, it is very weird!
The brother of the hawker thinks that he is a tomb robber who "looks and sees......
So, he changed the topic with a haha, stood up and smiled: "Okay, brother, I'm full, it's time to go on the road, tomorrow is still this time, can I come to you to eat?"
"Okay, didn't we say okay? I'll take care of your food for a few years. ”
"Okay, I'll take two more loaves ....."
"Yes!"
.....
After saying goodbye to the vendor and carrying two pieces of cake, Xiaoyu walked out of the town without saying a word, and walked straight towards the east of the town!
To say..... He listened to what the vendor said just now, and he was also in response, but now he ..... There is no choice in your own situation. Compared with the "kissing madman" and the hanging Zhong Kui, neither of them is easy to bear, so I can only follow the guidance of the black cat first, and take one step at a time......
After about 3-4 miles out of town, it was ..... Next to the long-abandoned deserted road, Xiaoyu saw an "old hanger" hanging on the tree, which was highly rotten and sunburned into a "kelp" shape, but she could still tell that it was a woman, not very old, her finger bones and teeth were exposed, and the situation was miserable.
A little further forward, there were more "old hangers", men, women and children, with varying degrees of decay, and some had turned into white bones...... There was no need for a guide, and these corpses swaying in the wind, like road signs, led the light rain to the front of the Zhong Kui Temple.
As the black cat said, this temple is built on the mountain, it is indeed under the south of the mountain, the surrounding forests are luxuriant, overgrown with weeds, the whole temple has been abandoned for a long time, barren, even ..... The tall grass between the glazed tiles on the top of the temple is almost half a person high.
Zhong Kui temple is not big, the front yard and the backyard are only three rooms, there are two big trees in front of the hall, there are five or six "old hanging masters" hanging on them, the years are too long, the wind and rain, these dead have long been rotten into white bones, can not distinguish between men and women, the atmosphere of the scene is ..... It's really like the Senluo Temple!
In the main hall, a huge clay sculpture of Zhong Kui with a height of nearly two meters, standing on the shrine of "dancing hand and foot", the expression is hideous and exaggerated, the big belly is poopy, the behavior is witty, holding a pen in one hand, carrying a chain in the other hand, the form is realistic, lifelike. Just because no one has taken care of it for a long time, the skin of the statue has seriously faded. But it still can't hide the terrifying deterrence of the gods!
Zhong Kui's feet are the crying ghosts, as well as the five poisonous snakes and scorpions, and the two sides of it are judges and ghosts, black and white, bulls and horses, all kinds of faces.....! Sightseeing during the day is quite scary, let alone being here at night with the "hanging masters"!
When you arrive at the apse, it is the "execution room", which is imagined by people..... Scenes of torture in hell are displayed one by one, with statues of tongue pulling, cramps, stone grinding, heart gouging, and so on. Something like this, in the year of graduation...... When I traveled to the ancient city of Xudu, I had seen Xiaoyu before, and there was nothing unusual.
The last room was locked, and from the window you could see some furniture and utensils of ordinary people's lives, and I wanted to come ..... It is the residence where the temple lived before.
It broke the boundary of the land so big and killed dozens of people! Actually..... Xiaoyu has come all the way, and I feel ..... The "hanging masters" hanging on the trees are almost hundreds, and of course people know about the deceased on the number...... There are also some "admired" three-nil people, which has no proof of death.
Although the temple is abandoned, it is very well preserved because no one intrudes it, and it is not a ruin! dirty and dirty, there are cobwebs and garbage everywhere, but it is no problem to shelter from the wind and rain, and it can "live in people".
The black cat said that it was hiding here for a while, but it didn't say how long! What the hell is that "kissing demon"...... Xiaoyu didn't know either. This feeling of passivity and dazedness is really unpleasant! But Xiaoyu's mentality is very good! I have already been unlucky to get home, and I will be unlucky again..... Where can you be unlucky?
In addition, the black cat said clearly, it can be in this temple...... What would it be like to find something good?
Broken Locks Wooden Bolts..... Unable to stop Xiaoyu's footsteps, he kicked open the door of the temple and conducted a big search inside, and then, the entire Zhong Kui Temple, three floors inside, three floors outside, Xiaoyu searched all over, and found nothing "oil and water".
Xiaoyu was very careful, even the floor tiles were opened, except for centipedes, worms, turtles, crickets and mice, the entrance to the cellar was not found, and the picture of "there is a lot inside" imagined in my mind did not appear!
Tossed until it was almost dark, and there was nothing to gain, and I dared to love this place..... It's just a fucking morgue!
In ancient times in late autumn, it was dark before six o'clock, I didn't sleep for a day and a night, and the light rain was also sleepy, but in this extreme environment, I wanted to sleep safely and steadily...... What a luxury and "unimaginable" thing that is!
How do you spend that first night? or rather..... Whether we can see the sun tomorrow is an unknown question!
Under the tension and anxiety, people often have extraordinary actions! Xiaoyu held a steel knife and rode directly on the neck of Zhong Kui's statue, and spoke in his heart.
The night breeze is blowing, the cold moon is hanging high, and the moonlight tonight is particularly abundant!
Although it is said..... This temple has been abandoned for a long time, but the white paper covered with wooden windows is still intact, only some places are broken! Therefore, looking out from the temple, by the moonlight, if something is close, you can see the outline of its body clearly!
Xiaoyu watched the six roads and listened to all directions, and kept sticking to it, about seven or eight o'clock in the evening, the wind outside gradually became stronger, blowing the bones of the "old hangers" on the two big trees, "crackling" and beating, like wind chimes.
The "fresh" air, forming a "piercing wind", constantly poured into the house from the broken paper windows, the rotting corpse fermentation and the smell of rotten wood mold, mixed with the smell of the earth in the mountains, mixed together, strongly stimulated Xiaoyu's olfactory nerves!
Suddenly, Xiaoyu heard footsteps outside the yard...... It was as if someone had entered the hospital, and his heart suddenly rose to his throat. Mood ..... tonight I'm even more nervous than last night!
In this place where there is smoke in the lack of morality, at such a point in time, the living will never come! Who could it be? Could it be......? Is it the "fart-blowing" corpse soldier from last night?
Right now..... I'm afraid it's not that shell for a long time, that guy, born from corpses, won't be fixed to a certain corpse. Xiaoyu's heart was horizontal, her teeth biting the tip of her tongue, thinking..... Now that you know your weaknesses, come back tonight to force each other, and the master will fight with you!
