Take your sister to catch a ghost

Chapter 137 Taoist Temple
I chuckled: "No, it's very simple. By the way, my younger sister is still studying at Uncle An's house. Please help me take care of her. She is the little girl who was in the restaurant that day."

She nodded subconsciously, I said thank you, and walked out of the building.

Jinhong Taoist Temple, it seems that it is really not that simple!
Walking according to the location shown on the mobile phone map, the more I walked, the more I felt strange. This Jinhong Taoist Temple was not far from the grave of Cheng Liwei last time. Could it be a coincidence?

In the past, the distance was quite far. When I went there, I bought an additional flashlight. The one in my backpack has run out of power. It looks like this. I stayed up late tonight and worked overtime.

Since I don't have much money left on me, I can only walk. Taking a car is now considered a luxury for me.

It took a total of three hours to reach the destination. The arrival time was around [-]:[-] pm. This time was not very good. The sun had just set and the yang energy was gradually weakening. Digging up the corpse at this time may lead to ghosts gathering to snatch the corpse. of.

Regardless of exhumation or burial, it is best in the morning when the sun is rising. Digging up corpses is rare, but we have seen many burials. Without exception, they are all in the morning when the sun is rising.

This is indeed a small mountain village. About 200 meters to the left of Cheng Liwei's grave, the mountain village so close to the city has almost no people, and most of them have moved to the city.Only an empty mountain village remained.

This village is still the most primitive adobe tile houses. The few houses I passed, without exception, all collapsed. The fields around this mountain village have also been abandoned and overgrown with weeds. Only a few fields are still planted. Some fruits and vegetables, these fruits and vegetables show that there are still people living in this village.

After entering the village, I looked for the Taoist temple while observing the surrounding environment. Generally, the buildings of Taoist temples have fixed patterns, which should be easy to recognize.

On the road, I met an old man in his 70s. His back was twisted, but he was still walking on the dirt road with a hoe. The old man's ears were quite sensitive, and he heard my footsteps from a distance.I stopped and stood on the side of the road and stared at me. I walked up to the old man and said, "Hello, old man!"

The old man's teeth should have fallen out, and he smiled with his mouth shrunken: "Okay, okay!"

"Old man, have you been working in the fields?" I have dealt with farmers before, and I know that to strike up a conversation with them usually involves talking about farm work, and to strike up a conversation with old people in the city requires various novel things.

"Well, it's going to rain in a few days. I'll go and hoe the grass in the field, otherwise the field will be thin and it's not easy to do it." The old man said to me in a strong local accent.

I looked at the sky: "It's been sunny for so many days, it should be raining."

The old man smiled, and then asked me: "Are you the child of the old Chen family? He said a few days ago that the child in his house is coming back."

I shook my head: "You have identified the wrong person, I am not."

"Oh, oh, I'm old and I can't recognize people." The old man waved his hand and said, "Young man, are you here to visit relatives?"

I thought for a while: "No, I'm here to do something!"

The old man looked puzzled, and I said, "Old man, is there a Taoist temple here?"

When the old man heard this, he quickly waved his hands to me: "Oh, young man, don't mess around, don't go to that place."

I frowned: "Why?"

"In our village, there were a few brave people who went inside before. They were fine at the time, but when they came back, they died and ran away. It was very scary."

"How could this be?" I muttered.

The old man put the hoe aside and said to me, "Listen to what I told you, don't go in there."

I hummed: "I'm sorry to trouble you."

"There used to be a lot of Taoist priests in that Taoist temple, and many people in our village worked in it. I remember that it was in 04. Since 04, Taoist priests have accidents almost every day, either crazy or dead. In the end, almost all the Taoist priests ran away. "

The old Burton paused: "After those Taoist priests left, the Taoist temple was empty. Many people went to the Taoist temple. As a result, most of the people who went there died, and a small number moved away. According to them, those who used to The dead Taoist priest is still inside, buried but not buried..."

"How could this be?"

The old man lowered his voice: "Don't talk nonsense."

I hummed.

"They all said that the people in the Taoist temple had done immoral things and brought ghosts in."

I can't believe it.

"The people who entered the Taoist temple at that time often sleepwalked after they came out... Several people were awakened during sleepwalking, and they died as soon as they woke up."

"Are you scared to death?"

"No, it's said that they were possessed by ghosts. Some of them didn't realize it. They ran outside at eleven or twelve o'clock in the evening, and one of them died after running out. They all died in front of that grave over there." The old man pointed to Cheng Liwei The location of the tomb, "They guessed that the Taoist priests killed the people in the tomb, and then the people in the tomb came to take revenge on them."

"They all died in front of that grave?"

"Not all of them. Three of them died in front of the grave and were only found the next day. Two of them were woken up halfway and died directly. Afterwards, they knew that they would run into ghosts when they entered the Taoist temple. They were afraid of sleepwalking at night. , tied themselves to the bed, and when they got up the next morning, they were either hanged or thrown into the water tank of their own house, and they were all swollen."

In rural areas, every household has a water tank, most of which are only made of cement and bricks, about one meter high, seventy centimeters wide, and about 1.5 meters long, and generally store a lot of water.

I frowned and listened to what the old man said, and the old man said: "The other people who entered the Taoist temple got scared and left, and didn't dare to stay here anymore. Now no one enters the Taoist temple, and nothing happened."

Oh, I said, it's really weird. Judging from the situation, it should be messed with something unclean.

I looked at the sky and said, "Then I'm not going?"

The old man hummed: "You go to my house to rest for the night first, don't go to that Taoist temple."

In our country, the rural people are always the most honest and friendly representatives. When I stayed in the countryside before, no matter how late the whole village was, the whole village would attend the event. The same is true for outsiders. The city is so indifferent, and I don't know the other person's name after living in and out of the house for many years.

Hearing what he said, I naturally wished for it. I said thank you, and then I just interrupted.

Along the way, the old man told me about the basic situation of the village. There are ten people in the village, the youngest is 68 years old, and the oldest is 97 years old. They are all unwilling to leave the place where they have lived for nearly a century.

The old man also told me about the location of the Taoist temple. It is at the back of the village. Few people dare to go there. People who came to archaeology before did not dare to go inside.

During the period, the old man asked me why I was looking for this Taoist temple. I thought about it and said that I came from the next county. I heard that this Taoist temple is very spiritual, so I came to visit it.

There is only one old man in the old man's house, his son has gone out to work, and his wife has been dead for many years.

In the evening, the old man cooks noodles to eat. He said that he basically didn’t eat at night before. He went home to cool off for a while, took a bath, and went to bed after washing his feet. Sometimes he didn’t even take a bath and went straight to sleep!
It seems that he really treats me as a guest. There is a lot of bacon cooked in the noodles. In the city, this bowl should cost at least ten yuan.

The old man does not have a TV, and the only electric appliance is an old-fashioned light bulb with a dim light. At night, the old man and I each took a chair and sat outside the door and chatted.

The old man is very interesting, he seems to never finish talking, and there is always something to talk about... In all these years, apart from the relaxed feeling of chatting with Lin Qu, he has never met a third person.

After eleven o'clock in the evening, the old man seemed to be sleepy, and asked me when I would go to bed, and I said right now.

The old man ran into the house and boiled a pot of water. After I washed his feet with him, we lay on the bed. The two of us were lying on the same bed, because the old man only had one bed at home.

After lying down for a while, the old man snored. I quietly got up, put my bag on my back, and rushed to the Taoist temple with a flashlight.

There is no moon tonight, it seems that it is really going to rain as the old man said.

Finish exploring this Taoist temple early, finish work early, go back early, and walk to the location of the Taoist temple with a flashlight!
