Haunting Spectre Road Chapter 8: Abandoned Temple
He Jianfei had to leave less than a day after arriving at Wutai Mountain. Although he was a little reluctant, he had to pack his luggage and prepare to go down the mountain. Tian Yinzhen suffered a bit of cold and headache on the way to Mount Wutai, even though she strongly requested to follow He Jianfei and insisted not. The next day he set foot on the way to the station alone.
A Qiang's home in Xi'an, the ancient capital with too many emperor legends, is a headache for He Jianfei. The stronger the cultural heritage, the more aura that can be absorbed by the wrong soul, the harder it will be to conquer. After getting off the train, Mr. Li has been standing on the platform and waiting for him for several hours. Watching his gray head dancing disorderly in the cold wind, He Jianfei understood how urgent he was to solve the mystery of the death of his best friend. "I have been waiting for you for a long time. You are finally here." Old Uncle Li's face was slightly haggard and his eyes were still piercing. He Jianfei shook hands with him for a while and smiled: "You don't think that a trip to Aqiang's house can reveal the mystery of the wrong ghost road, right?" Old man Li said in a daze, "Why not?" He Jianfei was startled. Haha laughed and said: "Yes, why not? Definitely!" The two alumni, who are nearly fifty years apart in age, both held the most precious thing in the fluttering Xi'an in Ruixue to pursue the mystery of the wronged ghost road. One hand signaled the formal conclusion of the alliance between the two. However, no one thought that this handshake would have achieved an unexpected evil fate. Old man Li recalled many years later and lamented the miraculous nature of life.
The old man Li led He Jianfei to a grand and gorgeous hotel. He Jianfei looked at the luxuriously decorated lobby and said in surprise: "It turns out that Aqiang's house actually opened a hotel. I didn't know he was so rich? Dong Ou's death. It’s not related to his family’s wealth, is it?” Old Uncle Li smiled and said, “Don’t guess. Who said this is Aqiang’s house? His family is in a remote rural village, which is far from the city center, and then go slowly tomorrow.” He Jianfei Said: "Now that things are so urgent, you may be able to win the first step quickly. We'd better rush there day and night." Old man Li shook his hand and said, "Where can the house be there? This time I'm in Xi'an. During the trip, I also found some news about A Qiang and wanted to discuss it with you.” The smart He Jianfei immediately realized that the secret talks arranged in the hotel room were by no means trivial matters and immediately followed Old Man Li to the room without a word.
"It's about Aqiang's spells." Old Uncle Li made two cups of tea while drinking tea. He Jianfei was horrified and moved: "I found his master?" Old Uncle Li hesitated and said, "These days I have not only contacted Aqiang's cousin, but also visited three neighbors who lived next to Aqiang. I now have two items that are equivalent. Strange things. One is that Aqiang’s relatives and neighbors almost didn’t know about Aqiang’s ability to use spells. Even a few close friends back then only knew that he could tell a little fortune. I remember asking him once to help. I think he is not willing to live or die because of marriage. I asked him where he learned the spell and he immediately changed his face and walked away. I was consciously boring at the time thinking that his teacher might ask for confidentiality, so I gave up. If it weren't for you to tell I really don’t know that Aqiang possesses such a powerful mana. In short, there is only one conclusion that Aqiang seems to be quite taboo about his source of magic."
He Jianfei's head suddenly went blank when he heard a "buzz". Because of the female ghost's nuisance, he had always ignored this very obvious key issue. He Jianfei is also considered talented and has the best masters in the magic world. He can only practice general spells. It is impossible to practice Sanhua Bodyguard at Aqiang's age! Unless he started practicing in his previous life. This means that there are important secrets hidden in Aqiang's spells!
Old man Li looked at He Jianfei and continued: "I thought of this suspicious point and immediately came to Aqiang's home in Xi'an. Fortunately, I visited two other people who lived in the same village as Aqiang. I learned another horrible thing.” He Jianfei waited for a while and saw that Old Man Li hadn’t spoken and said strangely: “What’s the matter? Go on.” Mr. Li whispered: “This...I’m afraid I’ll be scared to death. You and I have been scared once." He Jianfei smiled and cursed: "Sell me less. You have to tell me and still worry about this. Come on!" Old Uncle Li said: "When Aqiang was young... Other people play with him and often go...in the far-reaching graves...dig."
"What?!" He Jianfei couldn't believe his ears: "You... repeat it again."
Old Uncle Li repeated it again without missing a word.
"You said A Qiang likes to dig a grave?" He Jianfei's heart has long been messed up: "You don't want to tell me that A Qiang's mana was dug out?" Old Uncle Li said: "I did it for this She specifically called his cousin and she didn’t know, but she said that Aqiang’s house was a bit weird because of its bad feng shui. Is it because this child has some mental schizophrenia.” When it comes to this, Old Man Li has a pretty face He Jianfei knows that his brother is said to be neurotic and smiles unhappily: "Old women are always thinking about gossip. Let's stop guessing about going to Aqiang's house tomorrow. Maybe there will be an answer." "The two of them rested without mentioning.
In the early morning of the next morning, the two took a bus to the village where Aqiang was located-Xinghua Village. Uncle Li got out of the car and looked around the endless farmland scenery. He opened his voice and said to He Jianfei at the back: "I once heard A Qiang say that the wine in their village is very famous, so he named Xinghua Village. The scenery here. The air is very nice and fresh.” He Jianfei finally took the big bag with all kinds of magic weapons out of the car to see Old Man Li, who was very excited, and looked around. The thick film covered the green wheat seedlings under the cold wind. There was a "crash" sound. In the distance, a child was riding on the back of a cow and watching the lambs grazing. Several muddy field paths were winding to the invisible distance, watching Old Uncle Li suddenly point his finger. "You see, that's Aqiang's house." He Jian quickly turned around and the typical courtyard house surrounded by many small bungalows became particularly prominent. The lush old trees in the middle of the spacious yard, the yellow bricks and moss shattered tiles back then, A Qiang’s home must have been lively and warm, right? Nowadays, most of the portals are closed in the cold, and no one can be seen. Only a few birds stop under the tree and call twice. He Jianfei took out the magic compass from his schoolbag and pointed it at Aqiang's house to observe the movement of the pointer. Old Uncle Li knew that He Jianfei was testing the Feng Shui of Aqiang's house without making any noise, only watching with great interest. He Jianfei watched for a long while, shook his head, then took out bull's tears, wiped his eyes, and looked for a while before washing it off with water. Old Man Li couldn't wait to ask: "How? What's wrong?" He Jianfei said bewilderedly, "Although his house is not a place where a red bird and a yellow dragon sit, it will not be so bad. The main fire in the west is the prosperity of people. The land is. Anyway, I didn’t see anything bad. By the way, where are those ancient tombs?" Old Uncle Li said, "It’s right behind that hill. There are not only tombs but also many old temples before the founding of the People’s Republic of China. It is dedicated to some little god. One of the walls has a red letter on it. I once went in and saw that the blue-faced fangs on it are not like gods but like monsters." He Jianfei said: "The more you do this, the more likely it is that there will be a master. It shouldn't be too late. Let's hurry over."
Sure enough, in the faint white mist, you can vaguely see broken walls and many dilapidated temples, which are too small to be called temples at best. There are still rotten bricks and broken tiles everywhere, and some undamaged walls are shaking, showing the world the green-yellow mud road on their bodies. The crow stood on it and made an ominous cry. Two or three grasses stick out their heads tenaciously from the gap in the next door and sway gently along the wind. Occasionally, a few bricks and stones will fall down and raise a cloud of dust.
He Jianfei said in astonishment: "The atmosphere here is a bit unusual, but it’s too strange to have so many temples in this place. There is no room for two masters and one temple for two gods a day. Even if there are more than a dozen temples in such a small area. No matter how ignorant it is, is it ignorant?" Old Uncle Li interrupted, "Perhaps the people at that time were forced to have no money to buy land so they put together the temples of these gods." He Jianfei shook his head and said, "Xi'an is. The cultural origins of the ancient capitals of the Six Dynasties are quite deep, even the poor would not do this. Besides, if you want to worship, why not worship the Tathagata and disrespect the Sanqing but get some small gods. In my opinion, wouldn’t it be better to build a medium-sized temple with this open space?" Old Uncle Li finally figured out the deep meaning of He Jianfei's words: "Do you mean that these are deliberately made like this?" He Jianfei frowned and said: "It's hard to say. Anyway, it's still early. Let's check one by one."
They picked the nearest small temple to enter. The door of the temple was in ruins. Only half of the rotten wooden door was sparsely placed on the frame. He Jianfei collapsed with a light touch with his hand. A large cobweb covered the way to the temple, but there was no spider on it. He Jianfei saw that some of the nets were still brand new and couldn't help but look strangely down, but there were a few shriveled spider corpses on the ground. He Jianfei picked up the corpses and squeezed them with his hands: "It seems that blood was taken away by something? Could it be..." As he thought, his face sank and the voice of Old Uncle Li came from the hall: "This one is much more kind." He Jianfei heard it. Yan walked into the main hall and saw that Old Uncle Li was looking up at the idol: "Although this idol is also carved with fangs, it is not as hideous and terrifying as the one I saw before." He Jianfei took a closer look and shouted: "It's true. Strange! This idol is dressed in the color of the earth, even the official belt is carved to life. Why is it carved into the appearance of a devil?" Old man Li could not guess: "Maybe people in this area respect evil gods. Right?" He Jianfei sighed: "There are many famous evil gods in the God Realm, but I don't recognize this one. I am afraid it is not a righteous god." Old Man Li asked: "What does this have to do with A Qiang's death?" He Jianfei said: "I haven't figured it out yet. It's just that this area is indeed unusual. What happened before the founding of the People's Republic of China. Moreover, the presence of Senior Aqiang's home may have a lot of influence on Senior Aqiang."
They walked through several temples in the same way. In addition to the color of the clothes, some of the kitchen officials and some were mountain gods, but they were all fierce with angry brows. Looks like a ghost soldier in hell. He Jianfei found that the spider's body was very puzzled, but he didn't say it.
Walking around, I have seen these dozens of small temples. He Jianfei saw that Old Man Li was tired and stopped to rest on a stone. Suddenly he remembered something and laughed: "By the way, Old Man Li. I haven't seen any temple with words on the wall. Where is it?" Old Uncle Li remembered and wondered: "It's impossible. I've been in it and I can see it clearly..." He Jianfei clapped his hands. Said: "It must be that you have left this open space so we can't find it." Old Uncle Li shook his head and said, "It's not possible. I was scared when I saw the scary idol in such a small open space. I have to run out to the village, why are I still in the mood to go a little bit longer?" He Jianfei disapproved: "There is no need to be nervous. Now it is almost dark. Let's go to the village for one night and ask the villagers who know the truth about coming back tomorrow. It's not too late to check it carefully. Since there is the scarlet letter, it shouldn't be difficult to find out."
So the two got up and left Old Man Li and walked a few steps and suddenly said, "Oh, I forgot the key on the stone." He Jianfei had to wait for him to take it back, but he found that Old Man Li was shaking violently and his voice became extremely trembling. "Then...that temple...returned..." He Jianfei was shocked when he heard the words and quickly looked back there was a very dilapidated small temple in the place where they had just rested. There really was a red letter on the wall of the temple. .
Old man Li was frightened with cold hands and feet: "Obviously...the place where we were sitting just now is empty...it's nothing...why is there an extra temple out of thin air?" He Jianfei fixedly looked at the temple with scarlet letters. The mist was shrouded in the fog, but I couldn't see what it was, but there was a vicious air that I had never seen before. In the dimness, He Jianfei seemed to feel that someone was waving to him in the temple and involuntarily moved forward step by step. At this moment, the relic necklace on his chest suddenly shot out a golden light directly towards He Jianfei's temple. He Jian was frightened and suddenly turned pale and said that when he was too late, he took out a handful of gravel from his arms and scattered all over the sky to lay the seven-star Beidou formation with his left hand, grabbing Old Man Li with his right hand and shouting: "Quick!! Run!!! "The relic necklace suddenly shines brightly and He Jianfei knows the sinister spirit and secretly cries out to break the Buddhist beads from his hand and shot towards the temple. After such a delay, He Jianfei and Old Man Li finally escaped from the open space.
Old Uncle Li ran panting and leaned against the wall and asked, "In that temple... is it a **** or a demon?"
He Jianfei cried bitterly to the sky: "If I hadn’t seen the opportunity to cast the spell just now, we escaped in time, otherwise we have received an invitation from Lord Yan. It’s a pity that my string of beads can control whether it is a **** or a demon. Old Burch Li said: "Since the temple is weird, why do you want to enter but not move there?" He Jianfei was mourning the string of beads and said, "Oh don't mention it. I don't want to go in. That temple has a soul-inspiring ability. If it weren't for the relic necklace, I'm afraid I would have been sucked in by it. By the way, you must have been tempted by it last time before you'unknowingly' walked in." Old Uncle Li said "But I didn't die!" He Jianfei said this for a long time that couldn't figure it out: "Let's look at it later." Old Uncle Li said, "What are you going to do now?" He Jianfei said, "Since my mana is not as powerful as it is. I had no choice but to invite the brother down the mountain overnight. Tonight we will go to the foot of the mountain to find a house to stay overnight and ask about the situation in this area."
After calling the brother, He Jianfei took a bath and walked out of the hall to see Old Man Li talking with an elderly person. He Jianfei smiled to himself: "It's right! The gap between the two white men is less after talking. If I talk to him, I'm afraid he doesn't understand me. I can't understand him. I'll stay aside and listen."
Just listen to Old Man Li asking: "Brother, tell me what happened to those ruined temples in detail?" The white man immediately became proud: "Fortunately, if you met me, if you met someone else, you would definitely not be able to tell." Li The old man hurriedly poured a cup of tea ceremony: "Please give me advice." Bai Gong stroked his beard and said: "These things are still my grandfather told me. He said that there was a big event in the late Qing Dynasty. Did you know that in the late Qing Dynasty? At that time, there were revolutionary people everywhere. The Qing soldiers arrested people everywhere without interrogating people who looked like they would beheaded and beheaded to show the public..."
He Jianfei heard the boss impatiently, didn't Mr. Li tell him which university he graduated from? Those who are not historically unfamiliar can't pass the test! Then he peeked at Old Man Li, and he listened with gusto and had no choice but to comfort himself. When he was old, he liked to pick Chen Zhizhi and rotten corn. He Jianfei, He Jianfei, bear with me, as it is to experience old age in advance.
Fortunately, Mr. Bai was still sober, and soon he went back to the punctual point: "...I don't know which Feng Shui Mister said that our land is the most suitable place for the gathering of the five evils to suppress the abnormal. The county uncle also believed and ordered it. It was used as the execution ground. That day, the yellow wind was full of smoke and mist, and the officers and soldiers came over with more than two hundred people before the sky was up. I told you, ah, among the two hundred people, maybe there is not even one revolutionary! My grandfather huddled in the crowd to watch the excitement. This trick of white knives going in and red knives out is nothing strange. When it was cut to the fifth batch, a mad man knelt down and his eyes turned white and white. It's scary! Although the rope was tightly tied and the blood was strangled, he was not afraid of the pain, but he struggled to reveal two rows of eerie and uneven yellow teeth and shouted: "I'm wrong! ! I was wronged! ! I don't want to die! ! ! I have a mother and a wife and children! I am not a revolutionary party at all! "This fellow is annoyed by the county grandfather who dropped a token and called it slash. Seeing that the white knife was about to go down, the madman shouted: "I won't die under your faint official's hands. You must wait for me to die. Turn into a ghost and see people-kill!' As soon as he finished speaking, he bit his tongue and killed himself."
"It's also strange that a gust of wind blew up around him just after his death, broke the flagpole and overturned the incense burner. The grandfather of the county was so scared that the grandfather of the county cried out and called'Return to Mansion'. What's more strange is that the one that hasn't been cut yet. Hundreds of people all fell down with a bang. When Hao Zuo saw that everyone had a pair of tooth marks on their necks. Everyone was so scared that they were so scared that they yelled, "A ghost is coming!" They scattered for their lives. How can this person fight a ghost? It's another large piece of land falling down~IndoMTL.com~ Fortunately, my grandfather had some knowledge and fell into the corpse to pretend to be dead and escaped this disaster. When the brigade of officers and soldiers arrived, my grandfather dared to tell the truth. Where is that confused governor. Ken Xin thought that my grandpa was a lunatic and sent him out."
Old Uncle Li slapped his palms and said, "That's it! Those temples must be dedicated to the dead. And those temples are for the ghost." Baigong smiled: "You are only half right. The matter is not over yet! The governor reported an accident and went to Beijing to return to Beijing. It only suffered. The people died in succession. People could hear hundreds of people crying every night. Most of the population in the city lost in three days. Grandpa didn’t have money and couldn’t bear the old ancestral house. He had no choice but to endure it. One day an old Taoist came and brought an apprentice here, saying that the evil spirits here are so powerful that they are going to the altar and have a lot of troubles. He said that he wanted to build a temple and bury his head. What "passage snake" said, unless there is no more injustice here, it will be peaceful."
Old Uncle Li said: "What is the connection between this temple building and the ghosts?" Bai Gong shook his head and said, "Who knows how to just follow these Taoist stuff." Old Uncle Li said again: "The Taoist priest just said There must be no more grievances, but it is definitely impossible. In the next 50 or 60 years, the Chinese soldiers will die during the warlord’s war. I am afraid that more people will die than in the last years of the Qing Dynasty.” Baigong smiled: “My brother was right but partial. Nothing happened. In the old year, I also invited a few wizards to come to see that the ghost had sucked a lot of wrongs and became strange. It is reasonable to say that the "pass snake" could not be suppressed. Everyone can't tell why it is so peaceful. I thought I could live in peace from now on. Who knows that after more than 20 years, I’m back to haunt me, and I often cry and howl. Fortunately, I have never died, but I also blame the terrible night when there are crowds and no one dares to go there."
