A few of them looked at me. I was immersed in my own conjecture and couldn't extricate myself. I don't know how long they looked at me. I couldn't help but sneered at them and said: Why are you all looking at me? Do I have flowers on my face?
?
Bai Jin was amused by my words and couldn't help teasing me: "You can't tell, Zhao Sanliang, you are really handsome with your frown on your face. Yes, as the old saying goes, men who are thoughtful are the most attractive."
At this time, Zhu Kaihua winked at the two of us and said: There is adultery, there is definitely adultery.
After teasing with them for a while, the tension of racking my brains just now was relieved a lot, and then it was time to return to the topic. Since the Taoist priest said that he was entrusted by my father to lead the way, he has been talking about it for a long time. What is the next road?
He didn't explain anything clearly, so the problem turned to him.
The Taoist priest didn't know whether he was in love with Zhu Kaihua or something, but he said to Zhu Kaihua: There is no old friend in the west of Yangguan, are you sure you want to follow?
After hearing what he said, I was really afraid that Zhu Kaihua would just throw away his hand and leave. Just kidding, he is a talent that I hired with a lot of money. Needless to say, Bai Jin is a delicate woman. I am recognized as a half-combatant. Although Zhang Kaixuan is fierce,
, but the thought of facing countless underworld soldiers makes people shudder. If Zhu Kaihua withdraws now, I will still feel unsure, but I really can't say more at this time. No matter what the Taoist said, is it true?
Wrong, Zhu Kaihua is an outsider who originally had nothing. Now I really want to force others to take risks. I can't be so selfish. Zhang Kaixuan obviously thinks the same as me. The two of us, plus a Taoist priest, just looked at Zhu Kaihua,
Waiting for his answer.
Zhu Kaihua was stunned for a moment, and then he said loudly: You are watching what I am doing. There is absolutely nothing wrong with my face. I said you are a seasoned person. If you are not good at learning, why do you insist on talking like a bird? Grandpa Zhu, since I have accepted the mistress.
For two taels of money, you must get things done to the end, otherwise how can you let me hang out on the road in the future? Besides, the damn egg will not die for tens of millions of years. This thing is so strange, and being able to die here is considered a smile on Grandpa Zhu's face.
, stop whining, I'll go and order it.
When I looked at Zhu Kaihua, I was moved from the bottom of my heart. Anyone can do the icing on the cake these days, so it is very valuable to provide help in times of need. So I said to Zhu Kaihua, Lao Zhu, I am committed to your brother.
Who knew that Zhu Kaihua didn't urinate in my pot at all? He waved his hand impatiently at me and said: Don't tell me whether you have this or not. You didn't have your dick last time. Can I stand and talk now?
As for the matter, it's probably going to be even more difficult this time. If you really feel bad about it, can you give me some extra money when we get out? Anyway, you, Mr. Zhao San, are not short of money.
I said okay, when it comes out, I will add five more numbers for you.
"Is this true?"
"True!, real gold and silver, true!"
The Taoist priest smiled bitterly and shook his head, but this time he didn't talk nonsense. He led us directly out of the secret room. When we came out, I looked back at the magnificent Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva statue. I didn't know it was the Mona Lisa.
The smile effect is still good, I feel like his eyes are looking at me, like looking at a dead person.
At this time, all the monks in Leiyin Temple had already gotten up to do morning lessons. Being a monk is not easy. After all, being a monk means ringing the clock all day long, right? Ringing the bell is a physical job. There are monks cleaning outside who were blown by the wind and sand last night.
When Shachen saw the Taoist priest, he bowed respectfully. It seemed that the Taoist priest was quite happy in this Buddhist monastery.
After passing through the side hall, we walked into a dark alley. It was different from the clean one in the main hall. This alley was very quiet. Of course there could be no moss or anything like that. After all, this was the edge of the Gobi Desert. The entire alley was full of sand.
The climb was soft and the trail was very deep. When we walked out of the trail, the bell of Leiyin Temple just rang.
I looked back at the entire classical temple, and remembered what the Taoist priest said to Zhu Kaihua, and I couldn't help but smile bitterly. It really felt like I had no friends after leaving Yangguan in the west.
At the end of the trail is a thatched hut. The hut is not small, but it looks very dilapidated. It is in sharp contrast with the temple in front. The Taoist priest took out the key and opened the door of the hut. A putrid smell hit our faces, which made us choke.
We all had a cough, which forced us to wait at the door for a while. When the air got a little better, the Taoist priest lit a wind lantern and we followed him in.
It was already bright at this time, but it was pitch dark inside this thatched house, just like a black man hiding in the corner. The sunlight from outside could not shine in at all. Logically speaking, if the door is on the backlit side, then the other side will be dark.
On the contrary, it should be facing the sun. Although it is cold in the Gobi Desert in the morning, the sun is actually very bright. The sunlight should be able to shine in from the opposite side. However, this house is actually completely dark, and something is wrong.
I glanced at Zhu Kaihua and found that he was also looking at me. Officials talk about business, people talk about business, everyone talks about business, everyone has their own habits and ideas. Seeing such a thatched house in the dark in broad daylight, I
Zhu Kaihua and I immediately thought of a word - Yin Zhai.
As the name suggests, this is the opposite concept to the Yangzhai Tomb in Yulin Mountain. The Yangzhai is a place for living people to live, so no matter where this place is, there must be a lighting point, that is, it must receive sunlight. However, the design concept of the Yinzhai
, it is a building layout that must be completely protected from sunlight, because this place is for the dead.
Thinking of this, before I even opened my mouth, Zhu Kaihua couldn't help but shout out, "Old bastard, what the hell did you bring us to?"
The Taoist priest didn't even turn around and said, "Don't be nervous. This place used to be a yizhuang."
I said "Oh" to express my understanding. This is not surprising. In the past, when there was war and chaos, it was normal that the dead could not be buried. They were usually placed in yizhuang. Such a house has the meaning of a ghost house, because it is full of dead people.
I was just relieved when I heard Bai Jin'a scream, which scared me. I looked at her and she pointed forward with her finger. I followed her finger and used the weak touch in the Taoist's hand.
Landscape light.
In front is a dilapidated, incomplete, half-open and half-covered building.
coffin.
Bai Jin is timid, and among our group, she is familiar with me. It is a girl's nature to be afraid of coffins. She rushed over and hugged my arm. She said that before going to Yulin Mountain, I saw
I'm probably scared enough to see this thing, but now, buddy, you're not that dude who only knows how to eat, drink, whore, and gamble, right? You've seen the array of coffins hung by chains in Li Zhongzhi's tomb, and you will be frightened by this coffin.
Intimidated?
I patted Bai Jin and told her not to be afraid, but I also became curious. In front of this is the legendary holy land of Buddhism, the Leiyin Temple. Although it must be a pirated copy, at least it is not a Buddhist temple. There is a meaning behind it.
The village is asymmetrical enough, but there is a coffin in this village, so I am not afraid of disturbing the purity of Buddhism? I asked the monk, what is going on?
The Taoist priests seemed to avoid this coffin and intentionally covered it up. I don’t know where this thing came from, but Patriarch Wang dug it out from somewhere. Don’t pay attention to it, it has been here for over a hundred years.
Zhu Kaihua had already turned on his flashlight and was shining his light on the coffin. I saw that he was a little ready to move, so I asked him: "What do you want to do?"
"Hehe" he said with a smile: It's an old habit, an occupational disease, I want to touch the coffin when I see it.
I smiled and said: It depends on your virtue. When you find my elder brother, you can work together in the fields and touch him until you don't want to touch him.
When the Taoist priest heard what I said, he bowed and said: Immeasurable God, Buddhism emphasizes karma and retribution, and Taoism also has the theory of reincarnation. Although they do not advocate burial, digging people's graves is too harmful to heaven, so it should be done less often.
For good.
I shut up immediately. There was nothing to argue about on this issue. It was really disgraceful to talk about fighting upside down. The Taoist priest walked to the middle of the hut, where there was an altar. He turned the lamp holder above, and only heard
With a rumbling sound, the ground in front of the coffin split in half, revealing a dark hole. He pointed with his hand and said: This is the road ahead.
I also turned on my flashlight and looked into the cave. It was very shallow, but there was obviously a vertical path. I looked at Zhang Kaixuan and asked: Are we going down now?
He nodded, and I said: But Bai Jin and I have almost lost all our equipment. Do you want to go back and make up for it before coming back?
He asked me: Can you bear it?
Before I could answer, Zhu Kaihua's shouting voice came from over there. He shouted: Damn it! What is that?!
I was startled by him, and when I turned my flashlight, I saw that his forehead was covered with sweat, and his whole arm was stuck in the half-covered coffin. It turned out that this guy still couldn't help the habit of touching gold, and his hand was inserted into the coffin.
There was something in the coffin. Seeing the pain on his face, I asked him, "What's wrong with you?"
"Damn, there's something pulling me in here!"
The Taoist priest staggered immediately. As soon as I saw something was wrong, I rushed over, grabbed his arm and pulled him out. However, there was obviously a reaction force inside, which was stronger than Zhu Kaihua and I. I called out to Zhang Kaixuan.
Said: Why don’t you come over quickly and help?!
Zhang Kaixuan also ran over and pulled Zhu Kaihua's arm hard. Zhu Kaihua shouted, "Stop pulling! If you pull my arm again, it will be broken by you!"
I thought about the way the Taoist priest had blocked him in the beginning, so I yelled at him: "What the hell is going on here?!"
But the Taoist priest lowered his head, his face was very ugly, and he hesitated to speak.
At this time, Zhu Kaihua became furious. He was a practitioner himself, and the pain was severe. He kicked me on the coffin. This kick hit me, and it was probably able to displace my internal organs. The coffin was originally
It was so old that it was kicked to pieces by him.
He broke free now, and I didn't have time to look at him, so I used my flashlight to shine on the remains of the coffin.
All I saw was hair among the messy wooden boards.
No!
It’s not all hair!
There’s just too much hair! There’s a petite mummy inside the hair!
I have seen a lot of corpses, and a lot of mummies, but I have never seen one with such long hair. Zhu Kaihua was in severe pain. He was holding his arm and breathing heavily. Zhang Kaixuan had a solemn look on his face. I also
Not daring to make any rash moves, I could only stare at the mummy with exaggeratedly long hair. But I thought to myself, "Isn't this a fucking rice dumpling?"
None of us said a word, just staring at the mummy, but the corpse that was clutching Zhu Kaihua's arm just now was lying there normally and motionless. I couldn't help but wonder, could this zongzi be faking his death? But
No, Zongzi has no IQ.
I looked up to see the Taoist priest who was acting weird just now. When I turned my head, I found that there was nothing behind Bai Jin. I looked around with my flashlight. In addition to the remains of the coffin and the mummy, there were four of us in the whole room. There was no sign of any Taoist priest anywhere. My name is
Said: Holy shit! That Taoist priest is missing!
When they heard my call, they all looked around blankly. As soon as Zhu Kaihua was closest to the door, Bai Jin asked him: Have you seen him go out?
Zhu Kaihua scolded angrily: "What the hell! I've long seen that this old bastard doesn't look like a good guy."
I was surprised, how could such a living person disappear in such a blink of an eye? This Taoist priest was the one my father asked me to show me the way, and my eldest and second brothers were also in contact with him, so from the bottom of my heart, I still felt sorry for him.
I have a deep affection for him, but why is he so young? Could it be that he is a ghost? But it is wrong to think about it. Although this hut is built according to the pattern of Yizhuang, and there is no sunlight inside, but from Leiyin Temple
When we got here, the sun outside was already very strong. Not to mention that ghosts are afraid of the sun. Even thousand-year-old rice dumplings will start to oxidize when exposed to the sun. I looked along the black hole that cracked the ground behind Bai Jin. It was a bit...
Suddenly it dawned on me, this guy has fallen into a hole?
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but turn my head and look at the mummy on the ground. This thing is weird! The Taoist priest originally showed us the way. He definitely had no intention of going down the hole. Now that he went down, something must have happened that caused him not to go down.
His attitude towards this coffin is beyond suspicion.
Taking advantage of the large number of people among us, I pulled out the machete on my back and pushed aside the coffin board that was pressing on the mummy. I wanted to see its face, but there were too many hairs on this thing. It was very difficult to pull it with the machete.
It's not easy to operate, and I'm heartbroken. There are so many of us, and it's broad daylight. I can't be afraid of you, so I put the machete back on my back and use my hands to do it.
My scalp felt a little numb after just touching it. The hair was greasy and felt very disgusting when I touched it. I joked, "With such long hair, she must have been a beauty in life. Look at you, you are dead."
You don’t pay attention to personal hygiene, how many days have you not washed your hair?”
As soon as I finished speaking, the hair I grabbed in my hand wrapped around my arm with lightning speed, and the other hair scattered on the ground immediately surrounded me like a snake. I wanted to open my mouth and scream,
But the hair immediately stuffed into my mouth, touched my throat, and the outer hair also wrapped around my neck. I couldn't describe what it felt like. I just felt that death was so close, and I struggled with all my strength.
It doesn't help at all. Instead, it gets tighter and tighter. It's so damn unkind to pretend to be dead. The person who grabbed Zhu Kaihua just now probably has the same hair, right?
I couldn't breathe, and even when my mind went blank, Zhu Kaihua and Zhang Kaixuan didn't know who lit the lighter, and threw it at my hair. My hair seemed to be afraid of fire, and I just felt all over my body.
Relax, the hair has begun to retreat quickly, but it was still touched by the lighter. The oil on the hair is the most natural fuel, and the hair is also flammable. No matter whether you are a living person or a rice dumpling, the fire will follow
The hair spread up, and the grease from the hair was on my body, which immediately set my clothes on fire. At this time, I couldn't blame who threw the lighter. They were trying to save my life, so I just rolled away.
, the body's life was not much, and it was wiped out by me when I rolled it. I stood up and looked back at the burned mummy.
When the fire burned all his hair and covered his body, the body that was lying on the ground suddenly jumped up and screamed very sadly. The sound was very terrifying, like crying, as if there was overwhelming resentment, damn,
Zongzi knows it hurts? You deserve it. When you wrapped your hair around me, you never imagined that you would be here today? Thinking of those greasy hairs passing through my mouth and almost reaching my stomach, I felt sick.
But looking at the zongzi struggling freely over there, I no longer felt like vomiting, only fear. Bai Jin was already hiding behind me and shivering, and even Zhu Kaihua staggered to the ground in fear. I shouted
: "Lao Zhu! What the hell is this!?"
Zhu Kaihua was already stuttering, "I...how...how do you know!"
What the mummy was struggling with was a withered body.
But on the top of his neck was a tender and supple face, looking ferocious in pain!
That face is very familiar to us, it is the Taoist priest who disappeared.
Yes, the Taoist priest's vivid face grew on a mummy, and not long ago, there were countless long hairs on this head.
Not long ago, the same face was still talking to us, giving us directions, and quarreling with Zhu Kaihua.
