When he said this, the old man turned back and glanced in the direction of entering the courtyard.
After hesitating for a moment, the old Taoist priest changed his smile and said to me:
"Donor, it's okay, is nothing wrong?
But I still want to trouble you to stay overnight in Xiaoguan.
Don't worry, wait until this awakening comes,
Any changes that have happened to you will disappear.
Gold-plated, hurry up and prepare a guest room for the donor.
Didn't the donor have dinner? You can get some more food.
Just give him my share."
I also wanted to ask what happened, but the old man had already turned around and returned to the side room.
Looking at Giljin who was pulling me out, I said to him:
"Can you please explain to me what is going on?
What was the shadow at the door just now? And just now you and your master said that I had opened the heavenly eye, what kind of heavenly eye? Are you doing experiments on me?"
"How can the donor be so evil as you say?"
Liu Jin pulled me towards the courtyard outside and continued:
"Today's fragrance is wrong. My junior brother bought it cheaply.
It's probably because you, the donor, are not used to this fragrance and are somewhat allergic to it and are hallucinating. This is almost the same as gas poisoning.
Just wait until you have a good sleep and get some fresh air, everything will be fine tomorrow morning.”
While he was talking, he took me to the wing in the courtyard on the first floor outside.
The room was fairly clean, with a camp bed in the corner and a few simple pieces of furniture.
There was only one 10W light bulb for lighting in the room. Under the dim light, the room looked eerie.
After bringing me in, Gao Jin made the bed and said to me:
"Donor, please rest here for a while.
I'm going to get dinner. You're lucky. The experts in our group are all capable of eating meat.
Although it’s not a delicacy, it’s better than cabbage and tofu.”
Seeing that Gao Jin was about to leave, I hurriedly stopped him. I had just experienced such a weird thing, how could I dare to stay in this ghost place alone.
"Don't bother me. Please explain clearly what happened before you leave.
You really want me to stay at your place for one night? That’s not possible. I still have friends waiting at the foot of the mountain. I’ll take the train home early tomorrow morning.”
Gilding glanced back at me, then pointed to the completely dark yard outside and said:
"Donor, if you want to leave the Taoist temple, no one will dare to stop you.
But I have to remind you, there are no street lights on Luoshen Mountain.
I went down the mountain blindly, and it's easy to say that I might fall if I eat it, but if I encounter a venomous snake and get bitten by it, it's doubtful whether I can go down the mountain."
In fact, there is no need to scare me because I don’t dare to go down the mountain at this time.
I'm still breaking out in a cold sweat when I think of the weird scene I saw at the gate of the Taoist temple just now.
Taking advantage of my daze, Gao Jin smiled strangely and then left the room.
After Gao Jin left, I was the only one left in the room.
It looks like I'm really going to stay here tonight. I have no choice but to call Fatty Wang and tell him what happened here.
Unfortunately, there is still no signal on the mobile phone. It seems that I can only wait for a while for Jin Jin to deliver the meal, and then borrow the Taoist temple's landline to call Fatty Wang.
But after waiting for a long time, Liu Laodao didn't come to deliver dinner.
Originally, I was thinking of going out to look for him, but at this moment, there were sounds of unknown wild beasts coming from around the Taoist temple.
The sound was like the cry of a young woman, and it was so heart-wrenching that I had goosebumps all over my body.
Thinking of the strange scene I saw at the door of the Taoist temple before, I started to get nervous, so I hurriedly closed the door and fastened the latch.
After I was sure that no one would come in, I calmed down and sat on the camp bed.
After sitting down, I suddenly smelled an indescribable smell emanating from the room.
I don't know how to describe this smell, whether it's fishy or not, or foul or not, but it's not a smell that humans are used to.
Although it was better than the fishy smell from the old Taoist priest before, it still made me feel sick to my stomach.
There are no windows in this room, and I don't dare to open the door for ventilation, so I can only endure it at the moment.
Just when I was thinking about waiting for Li Jin to come back with dinner and saying anything about changing rooms, I accidentally saw a small incense burner placed in the corner.
This incense burner is so full of patina and dirt that you can't tell its true color without using two packs of decontamination powder. There are still three sticks of burnt incense stuck on it.
This kind of environmental fragrance is a good thing. Regardless of whether it is religious or not, let's light it to get rid of the strange smell in the house.
I took out my lighter and lit three sticks of remaining incense. After the smoke drifted out, the weird smell in the room dissipated a lot.
I don’t know if it was because I was too frightened before or because I was tired when I went up the mountain.
Now that I have calmed down, I feel sleepy. I half lie down and half sit on the camp bed, taking a nap while I wait for Gilt to come over and deliver dinner.
I just stared in confusion for more than ten minutes, and suddenly I smelled the aroma of stewed meat.
I thought it was Jin Jin who had come to deliver dinner, so I opened my eyes in a daze, only to find that at some point, a large iron pot with a serial number had been placed in the room.
I have never seen such a big iron pot, it actually occupies half of the room.
I was so sleepy that I didn't even notice how they brought this big iron pot in.
But didn’t I put the latch on the door?
There were two Taoist priests sitting around the big iron pot, one of whom was the gilded man who brought me in.
The other person sitting opposite the big iron pot was an old Taoist priest who was arrogant. There was also a Taoist priest with his back to me. The steam evaporating from the big iron pot shrouded this man inside, making it difficult to see his appearance.
.
When the old Taoist priest saw me getting up, he pointed to the big iron pot in front of him with a smile and said:
"Donor, you woke up at the right time, the meat has just been stewed.
I was really hungry. After smelling the aroma of meat all over the room, my stomach growled unsatisfactorily.
"How good is your dinner? It must be half a pig, right? It's a bit extravagant.
I can smell the aroma of stewed meat. Can such a big pot stew one or two hundred kilograms of meat?"
While I was talking, I jumped out of bed and walked to the big pot in two steps.
Looking at the large, well-known iron pot in front of him, a huge piece of meat was stewed in it.
The red meat skin was facing up, and the brown and sticky soup was boiling in the big iron pot. The tangy aroma made my stomach growl, and I almost reached out to grab it.
Although I am so hungry that my heart is full of emotions, I still have to say a few polite words:
"The dinner was so grand.
I'm a little embarrassed.
What, before I go down the mountain tomorrow, I can only pay two incense coins, but I can’t get thirty or fifty."
As I spoke, as the sauce simmered, the pieces of meat in the pot shifted, and the part soaked in the soup turned over - it turned out to be a cooked person.
