Chapter 124

Xiao Fan was pouring water into his mouth with a water bottle in his hand, when he suddenly heard a horrified cry from the bearded man; Xiao Fan was shaken all over, and the water that he didn't swallow was so frightened that he sprayed all the water on the bearded man's face with a puff !
"What's wrong!" Xiao Fan looked surprised, looking at the hand with the bearded man with a serious face.But the bearded man who was screaming like a pig a second ago raised his other hand to wipe off the mist on his face with a sad face at this moment, and gave Xiao Fan a blank look:
"I'm teasing you, Dr. Xiao, you are not cute at all."

Fuck, at this moment, Xiao Fan's heart is running straight from the heart of a mud horse to the shore of Lake Baikal, why are you kidding me?The scene in front of me is just like a ghost movie, you still scare me, it's cute, it's fine if I'm not scary.Xiao Fan roared a few words in his heart, looked at the bearded man depressedly and said

"Stop making trouble, open the door quickly, and stand outside here, I feel a little flustered."

"click"

As soon as Xiao Fan's voice fell, there was a crisp sound from inside the room; then the bearded man pushed hard, and heard a creak, and the dilapidated vermilion wooden door of the small temple was just pushed open.

"Cough, cough, cough!" Xiao Fan, who entered the temple, was choked by the rising dust, and waved his hands in the air to cover and disperse the dust; but with a little stretching of his raised left and right hands, he could touch the spider webs everywhere.

There are also some messy corpses of bugs on the spider web, which is particularly disgusting if it sticks to your hands.Xiao Fan frowned while tearing off the spider web on his hand and asked the bearded man:

"Do we have to sleep in this place? Why do I feel that the inside is not as good as the outside?"

"Take it." The bearded man suddenly took out two pinches of cotton from his pocket and stuffed them on Xiao Fan's body, and then responded to Xiao Fan and said, "Living here is better than outside, at least there are no wild boars and wolves who will take you away in the middle of the night, and you don't have to." Worried about witches and ghosts, this is a temple after all, isn’t it.”

"For such a dilapidated temple, you just try to comfort yourself." Xiao Fan shook his head, raised the cotton in his hand and asked the bearded man suspiciously: "Hey, bearded man, what is this thing for?"

"It's best to plug your ears and nose when you sleep, so that you don't know if centipedes or spiders get in when you fall asleep at night." The bearded man said with a smile.

Xiao Fan looked at the cotton in his hand, wanting to cry but no tears.

"What are you doing standing there, come and help me, the two of us clear a place and get out so we can sleep."

"Okay." Xiao Fan shook his head helplessly, put away the cotton in his hand and cleaned it with him.

For more than ten minutes, the two sat under the candlestick with their heads covered in dust; several futons were placed under the two of them, making up a fairly soft grass bed in the ruins.

Xiao Fan half leaned on the candlestick, looked up at the bodhisattvas enshrined on the temple platform behind him, but found that there were only four portraits, and there were no golden bodies or even clay sculptures of bodhisattvas.

"Where is this Bodhisattva?" Xiao Fan asked curiously, looking up at the four portraits on the temple platform carefully, feeling particularly strange: Most of the Buddhist statues enshrined in this temple are classic Buddhist statues, no matter how bad they are, they are also arhats; But Xiao Fan has never seen any of the four Buddha statues in the small temple in front of him.

Four people wield knives and forks, and sit on four unrelated animals: pig, tiger, leopard, and rat; their faces are not like the normal Buddha's big ears and thick pendants, but their faces are ferocious, a bit like a little ghost Rakshasa.

Xiao Fan retracted his gaze and poked his beard with his fingers. He knew a lot about Xiao Fan's affairs and asked him, he should be right: "Hey, did you hear my question? Why are there only a few paintings, without the body of a Bodhisattva? And I haven't seen these Buddhas before? What kind of Buddha is it?"

The bearded man put his hands behind his head, lay down comfortably and said slowly: "This temple was originally the most famous spiritual temple in more than a dozen villages near the foot of the mountain. Don't look at it being broken and rotten now. It turns out that there is a lot of incense. At that time, all the golden bodies placed on the temple platform were made of solid real gold."

"Then why are they gone now?" Xiao Fan asked.

"Moved away." The bearded man frowned as if thinking for a while before continuing: "The information I checked before I came said that it was moved away the year before last, but it didn't move far, and moved to the village below. Yes, it is enshrined in each family in turn, as for the reason, I don’t know, it seems that the villagers keep it as a secret.”

"It's really weird." Xiao Fan shook his head, puzzled.

"How big is the land of China, with a history of 5000 years; if you don't keep it neatly, there will be things that will make you dumbfounded. You are young, and you have been staying in a big city and you can't feel it. You have to spend most of your life like me. It's not surprising to run in this kind of place, but these four uncles are not Buddhas, but mountain ghosts.

Many temples these days, especially the small temples hidden in the mountains and rivers, are all famous local mountain ghosts, which have been passed down from generation to generation.You have to study, the knowledge in it is very deep. "

The bearded man smiled and shook his hand: "Sleep, sleep, I have to go tomorrow morning, I must go to that place tomorrow, or I will be miserable."

As he said that, the bearded man took out cotton and stuffed it into his ears, then closed his eyes and ignored Xiao Fan.

Xiao Fan's curiosity at this time was aroused by the big beard. He suddenly felt that he thought he was the person who knew the spirit world best, but now it seemed that his understanding of the world was obviously not as good as that of Xiao Fan. a beard.

In Xiao Fan's previous concept, there is a spirit world, and in this spirit world there are ghosts such as starving ghosts and old seniors who cannot return to the human world.There is another underworld in the human world, which is the place where those lonely and wild ghosts gather.And most of these lonely ghosts are unconscious, and most of the conscious ones have evil thoughts, and the resentment is floating in the world, struggling to find a result.

Xiao Fan thought that this was the whole of that world.

But obviously he found that what he saw was only a part of this world, at least what he couldn't understand now was the ghost in the locust tree, the mountain ghost enshrined in the small temple, and the ghost of the starving ghost Jie Xiaofan also only learned a little bit.

Xiao Fan let out a long sigh, and could not help but warn himself in his heart: stay awake, and understand carefully; after all, those ghosts are really like scourges to Xiao Fan.But not all ghosts are as gentle as Shu Yue.

Shaking his head, Xiao Fan imitated the bearded appearance and lay down with his hands under his head, ready to go to bed. He had to go on his way tomorrow, and he didn't know what the cultivating family was like.

Xiao Fan suddenly realized that he hadn't stuffed the cotton yet, so he took out the two handfuls of cotton from his pocket, and put it on his ear as if he was about to put it on his ear: he didn't want to fall asleep in the middle of the night and be drilled into his ear by a centipede.

Just when Xiao Fan was about to plug his ears, there was a sudden sound of very light footsteps, like the sound of wind hitting the door panel.Hearing this strange sound, Xiao Fan in the dark couldn't help but feel his heart tighten. He put down the cotton that had been brought to his ears, and listened carefully with a sullen face.

After listening carefully, Xiao Fan's complexion froze immediately; there was indeed a footstep, pacing back and forth in front of the vermilion wooden gate of the temple as if he was in urgent need of urine.

Neither leave nor knock on the door.

Xiao Fan swallowed his saliva, pushed the bearded man beside him and said softly, "Hey, wake up, bearded man."

But the bearded man who had climbed the mountain for a day had already fallen asleep. At this time, the voice was loud, and Xiao Fan's voice calling him could not cover his voice. How could he wake up so quickly.

Xiao Fan was anxious, took out his mobile phone and found that Brother Starving Ghost had already sent him a WeChat message:
"Be careful."

The two harsh words made Xiao Fan more certain that the visitor was not kind. Could it have something to do with the photo of the pagoda tree during the day?

Xiao Fan was slightly taken aback, and quickly turned back to Brother Starving Ghost: "Brother, what's the matter? Outside the door, is there a ghost outside the door?" Although he has been with ghosts for several months.

But Xiao Fan still trembled a little when he mentioned this word, mainly because he has not been able to learn Taoism until now, the only thing he can protect himself by fumbling around is a yellow talisman and the starving ghost in the phone.

But after all, this starving ghost can only be in the mobile phone and cannot come up. Now that Shu Yue is trapped on the locust tree, the only ones who can help Xiao Fan guess are herself and the yellow talisman in her pocket.

"No. Be careful, it doesn't feel too much. I tried to communicate with it, but I didn't receive a response." The starving ghost brother responded slowly, as if he had been blank for a while and tried to talk to the person outside the door. Things communicated for a while.

"Why is that?"

"Three possibilities: evil spirits, living people, and ghosts know what." Before Xiao Fan could reply, Brother Hungry Ghost sent another message: "Anyway, be careful and protect yourself; don't belch so early Yes, I'm still waiting for you to break through the elementary level of Gu Wu."

"Brother." Xiao Fan said with a wry smile, "Then can you help me think of a way to solve the thing at the door that I don't know if it's a human or a ghost? At least give me a letter."

"Hey, it's different now. I don't dare to ask my brothers to help me blatantly. If I come out, I will be arrested; now I can only be honest, otherwise I will be arrested and you will be finished." Right?" Brother Hungry Ghost mentioned his tense state again.

Although he was half-talking like this every time, Xiao Fan could really feel the helplessness of the starving ghost; he nodded without embarrassing the starving ghost and replied: "I will be careful."

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Fan took out the yellow talisman from his pocket, and no matter how soundly the bearded man slept, he shook him vigorously from his sleep: "Hey, bearded man, bearded man Qiu! Qiu Chu!"

Xiao Fan raised his hand and pulled Qiu's beard vigorously. The bearded man wailed and sat up with his eyes widened, looking at Xiao Fan with a depressed face: "Doctor Xiao, I just fell asleep, what are you doing?" Well! What about playing?!"

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Xiao Fan nervously raised his finger in front of his lips to make a hush movement, and said in a low voice, "Listen outside."

"What?" The bearded man had stuffed his ears and couldn't hear clearly for a while.But he was not stupid and read a trace of panic from Xiao Fan's expression, he quickly took off the cotton and lowered his voice to ask Xiao Fan again: "What did you say?"

"Listen to the sound outside the door." Xiao Fan repeated, gritting his teeth and pointing to the closed vermilion wooden door.

The bearded man was stunned for a moment, blinked his eyes, put his ear towards the door, and listened carefully; it seemed that the bearded man couldn't tell whether it was the sound of the wind or the footsteps back and forth at first. The sound of pacing and the expression on his face were the same as Xiao Fan's initial doubts.

But in less than a minute, the bearded man's expression changed, his whole body trembled, he turned his head and stared at Xiao Fan in surprise and asked, "Outside...is there someone outside the door?"

Gudong, the well-informed bearded man also swallowed in fear.It really doesn't matter if you've seen this thing or not, or if you've seen it much.

Xiao Fan nodded: "I've been lingering outside the door for more than ten minutes, neither knocking nor coming in."

"It's over, it's over, maybe I met a ghost." The bearded man froze and muttered softly.He hurriedly blew out the candles that the two of them were lighting in front of them.

Suddenly the room was plunged into complete darkness, Xiao Fan's heart trembled, and he asked, "Big Beard, what are you doing?"

"Shhh, don't talk, this is a ghost, it's not sure if there's anyone inside, it'll test us, if it's sure there's someone inside, then we won't be able to run away, this pacing back and forth is one of its ways of testing Ah. Waiting for us to ask who it is." The bearded man explained softly, shaking his hand to tell Xiao Fan not to speak.

Xiao Fan's heart was surrounded by a trace of surprise at this time, the starving ghost brother couldn't make a judgment, but the bearded man suddenly said what was outside the door as if he was very familiar.

This, what's going on?

Xiao Fan subconsciously took out his mobile phone, wanting to ask what the starving ghost is, just as he took out the mobile phone, the bearded man pressed Xiao Fan's hand down, and said in a deep voice, "Shh, don't move!" .”
