Ghost Blowing Lamp II

Chapter 14
Speaking of this, the pine torches we lit gradually dimmed and were about to burn out soon, so we quickly replaced them with two pine candles. These pine candles are a kind of earthen candles in the mountains. Soon, it is not as good as a regular candle burning vigorously, and it can be used when going out for a night walk, it is worse than no light.

I told Fatty and Swallow, since this place is only Huangpizi Temple, there is nothing strange about it, we should chase the poor bandits to the back hall to catch the "Huang Xiangu", and then rush back to the forest farm before dark .

"Huang Xiangu" was stuffed with Muggles by the fat man, her anus was sealed with yellow wax, and her hind legs were tied with wire. Now she can neither make a sound nor fart, nor can she crawl very fast. The second half of it is dead, so we are not worried about it flying, and the three of them searched the depths of the stone hall without any hassle.

The stone hall of Wong Tai Sin Temple is limited in depth, and the back gable wall is built according to the mountain wall, and the seams are tight. The only door in the whole stone hall is the stone gate that we entered, and there is no back door. The top wall of the stone beam and stone brick is damaged in several places. The cold wind was pouring down, and the upper part might be a tree hole on the hillside or a hole in the ground, but the gap was less than a palm wide, and it was impossible for "Huang Xiangu" to get out of it.

In the temple there is a half-overturned clay statue, which is the throne of Huang Daxian. The clay figurine is wearing a long robe and is about the same height as ordinary people. There is a cellar behind the statue of Huang Daxian, and stone steps are built under it to go deeper underground. It seems that "Huang Xiangu" must have escaped from here, hoping to seek the blessing of its ancestors.

I think this cellar is so strange. The cellar entrance should have been covered with green bricks, but now those green bricks have been pried open and thrown aside. This is obviously an extremely hidden entrance to a secret passage. Perhaps it was the group of people who dug up the ancient underground temple. They obviously came here for something. What exactly are they looking for?Could it be the bronze box where Huang Daxian puts the baby in the local legend?

Swallow and I held pine candles one after the other, and the fat man walked in the middle with the tool. The three of us climbed down the steps step by step. The stone steps were steep and narrow, and the cellar was extremely cold. I briefly explained this question to Fatty and Swallow just now, and Fatty said: "Old Hu, you are really smart. I was confused for a while. You didn't miss it when you came down just now. How thick is the soil on the tunnel entrance? That's because the rain washes down from the mountain. Even if someone went into the mountains to dig treasures before, it should have been tens of hundreds of years ago. If there are any good things, they have already taken them away. Can they still be left to us? Now that the cucumbers and vegetables are cold when I go in, I will be satisfied by grabbing a few small yellow skins every now and then and exchanging a few catties of fruit candy. I really made a fortune by picking up foreign money, and we have all the money for traveling home to visit relatives during the Spring Festival and the money for cigarettes and alcohol in the future."

I talked to Fatty and Swallow and walked down, only to find that the cellar was much deeper than I imagined, and my heart was pounding. I couldn't guess where it was leading to. Poor, but I can still breathe. The most unbearable thing is that the flame of the pine candle turns from blue to green, and the light is strong and weak, and the face is covered with a layer of blue light. I have never seen a ghost. , but I guess if there is a ghost, the complexion will not be much different from ours now.

The pine candle not only suffocates people's eyes, but also has a small flame. Even when there is no wind, it will sometimes go out by itself. The airflow driven by the walking made it go out, but the earthen candle was of poor craftsmanship after all, so it suddenly went out despite being so careful.

As soon as the pine candle in my hand was extinguished, there was darkness in front of my eyes. I stopped and wanted to relight it before walking, but the fat man behind me followed too closely, and the stairs were narrow, so I couldn’t stop. Seeing the two of us about to roll down the steps, Swallow hurriedly stretched out her hand to grab the fat man's arm, but she couldn't hold the fat man, and she rolled and bumped down the stairs with us.

Fortunately, the stone steps were almost at the end, and we were dressed thickly, so we didn't suffer any injuries, but the pine candle in Yanzi's hand was also extinguished, and I couldn't see my fingers. "Light a pine candle, and see where we've fallen.

But as soon as I sat up, I felt that my head wearing a leather hat hit something, and there was a dangling thing swinging around my face, and there was a rope rubbing against the wood at a higher level, and I kept making "squeak, squeak" The sound of dry rubbing, I thought to myself what is hanging here?Touch it casually, judging from the feel, it looks like the kind of thick-soled kicked cow cotton shoes in the Northeast in the past, and then touch the hard-bound ground inside and there are still human feet, and on top is the calf wearing cotton trousers, and the trouser legs are still tied. , I was startled suddenly, the soles of the shoes were just parallel to the height of my head and face, who was dangling with their feet in the air?It must be a hanged ghost. In the darkness, I actually touched a hanged corpse. In the Northeast Mountains, the hanged ghost is called "Old Diaoye". All the legends about "Old Diaoye" are extremely terrifying. Although I never believe it, But when things came to an end, it would be strange not to be afraid. I couldn't help but yelled "ah".

My sound startled the swallow and the fat man who fell beside me. The fat man fell the hardest, his tailbone resting on the corner of the stone steps, and he was breathing heavily in pain. I got up and heard me screaming in shock. I couldn't help being very worried, so I hurriedly asked me: "What's wrong with you, old Hu? You...what are you yelling for? You should hurry up and give me some light."

I was really frightened just now, and I forgot to let go of the dead man's feet hanging in the air. Hearing the fat man's question, I didn't know how to explain it, so I replied casually: "I... I... these feet... …Scared me."

Yanzi was probably confused by my fright, so I heard her panickedly say in the dark: "Ah? Why did you die? Don't die. When the village branch secretary scolded me, I was still counting on you It's a scapegoat, what can I do if you die."
