The last Onmyoji

Chapter 178 Laojun Temple

Don't think about the so-called unsolvable mystery. In fact, what this note brings us is a very happy news: "Pi has been buried, and there will be a period of time later. I just want to live." There are too many messages to be conveyed in this sentence Yes, there will be a period later, doesn't this mean that we will meet again in the future?Is this a different kind of gesture?What's more, there is such a sentence, just to survive, which is very helpless and obvious. It can even be said that the last sentence is the condition of the second sentence, and that is really a very smart person.

If we can keep them alive, then there will be a future, if not, then there will be no future.

It can only be said that it is a transaction.

Among our goals, there is one more goal immediately, to revive these people, then it means that we have an extra pair of horses and horses to help us, we continue on the road, and finally climbed the lion hump, facing the human face peak in the distance Looking around, the endless deep pits and weeds in the middle are Gouzi Ridge. Meng Chang and Azha said that the mouth is full of dangers. In fact, after coming here, many things can be thought through. It unfolds here, whether it is the troops transported back then or the troops lost, including many people who came here later, more than 2000 people from the Sichuan Army, all disappeared here.

"Why do I feel a bit evil?" the fat man said.

"I said Fat Lord, why is this place so evil again?" I asked.

"On this Gouzi Ridge, if thousands of corpses are really contained, what kind of scene will it be? There are scars all over the place? There are bones everywhere? How can there be no corpses in such a large density? What?" the fat man asked.

"Don't think about it in a place where you forget everything. How can I say this place? You haven't seen the grass grow very vigorously. Maybe the heroes of the predecessors have long been turned into spring mud to protect the flowers." We Go down the mountain quickly and walk into the wild grass. I don’t know if the grass here is really like what I said. It has corpses as nourishment, so it grows very well. It is as tall as a person. Let’s go Among them, they are all holding the fat man's compass to find the way automatically. At this time, the function of the compass is not a bronze detector, but a compass. Before we came to Gouziling, we thought that everything would be clear at a glance when we came here, but After I really came here, I found that this is actually the case. There are a lot of grass and lakes here, and there is still too far away from what we want to know. The most uncomfortable thing for us now is that we don’t even have a goal. , can only hang out in the wild grass like a dizzy fly.

"It's absolutely impossible to go on like this. We have to find a way." I said.

The second uncle bent down from the ground to pick up a cigarette butt and said: "This is the best way, we don't know anything, but someone is leading us in front!" I figured out what the second uncle meant right away. , everything has pros and cons. Although the people in Song Zhai walked in front of us, I was very upset, but the traces of their lives left by them can also guide us, so we later simply abandoned the compass and completely used the compass that appeared The domestic garbage on these wild grasslands was used as a guidepost. On this way, we really saw the traces left after the war, rusty bullet casings, and neatly wrapped or rusty medals, and even The fat man also dug up a dud, all this can only show that Wu Yishou was not lying, and there was indeed a war here.

However, the strangest thing is that this place looks like a battlefield, but it doesn't look like a battlefield, because there are no corpses, no bones or anything, the war is tragic, and what is tragic without casualties?We drove in the grass like this, but domestic garbage is not everywhere. Many times, we would lose our way or something, and then we would wander around like dizzy flies, until later, we walked into a forest, very quiet The woods here should be a swamp. We found traces of someone stationed at the entrance, and saw footprints in the mud, so we dared to go in. The danger of the swamp is not experienced. Knowing the danger, you don’t know that your next foot will sink into it, and you will not be able to pull it out. We still move forward according to our footprints, because at least the places that others have walked are safe. Until later, in this area In the swamp of the forest, we found a building. This building appeared very abruptly, because there was no trace of human activities here, but there was something like a temple, which looked extremely gloomy.

"The vicissitudes of life have changed a lot. Maybe this place was a plain before?" said the fat man. After speaking, he opened the door first and went in. But the next moment, he backed out with a pale complexion, cursing: "I'm ignoring him." For the ancestors, what the hell is Master Song Zhai doing?"

My second uncle and I also walked in at this time, and seeing the fat man deflated, I was not only unhappy, but also a bit apprehensive, what could scare the fat man into such a virtue?I turned on the flashlight, scanned inside, and staggered in fright, because it was at the entrance of this small temple. When I opened the door, the first thing I saw were a few people who fell on the roof, all of them wearing The clothes of the people at Song Zhai's side were very miserable.

There are seven or eight people hanging on this beam, all of them are hanged, because these people are all old elders with protruding eyes and sticking out their tongues. I looked at my second uncle and said, "What is this?" mean?"

Because when I saw this scene, the first thing I thought of was to deal with the mole. The second uncle is a person who thinks long-term. I was thinking, could it be that the second uncle planted the mole in Song Zhai, and now he was found out and executed?

He looked at me, didn't speak, and entered the temple. After he entered, the fat man also entered. In this scene, the dead are not scary. We were still looking for corpses at the beginning, weren't we?It's just that seeing these things as soon as the door is opened is really a bit panicky.

After we came in, after these hanging corpses, the first one enshrined on the altar was a Taishang Laojun, which dispelled my initial guess. At first, I thought it was a local mountain god or something , there is actually a Taoist place here?This statue of Taishang Laojun is not as exquisite as we have seen outside, but a clay sculpture. There is not even lacquer on the outside, it is more like a man-made graffiti.

In front of the statue of Laojun, there is also an incense burner, which is also a clay sculpture, and there is a pile of thin ashes inside. Besides, there are too many traces of modernity in this inside, and there is even a handful of oiled paper in the corner. The wrapped old-fashioned pistol still has three bullets, and there is also a military kettle that has been dilapidated.

This is a place where soldiers used to stay here. I was thinking about the problem. I heard the fat man calling us from behind the old statue. I thought there was some mechanism there. I knew he was just letting us see. , behind the statue of Laojun, there is a line of inscriptions that are not very obvious.

"Zhang Erniu invites the old man to return to his throne, and molds the real body of the law and the real body. In the 28th year of the Republic of China."

"That's it. As for what you're making a fuss about?" I looked at the fat man and said, and the fat man was counting his fingers over there, and said: "The 28th year of the Republic of China, that is, 1939, basically the time can be compared, if according to the clay sculpture For example, there was a soldier named Zhang Erniu who made a statue of an old gentleman here in the 28th year of the Republic of China."

"Yes, what's so strange about this?" I said.

"What was their situation at that time, and there was still time to make statues? Lin Xiaofan, let me ask you, when did you think of asking for a statue to bless you?" the fat man asked me.

"Of course it's time to hell!" I blurted out.But then he covered his mouth.

What the fat man meant was that back then, when they encountered horrific and unexplainable things, they hugged Buddha's feet here temporarily, and wanted to ask the Taishang Laojun to bless him?

At this moment, in the originally quiet temple, there was suddenly a very violent sound of electric current, stabbing, stabbing, stabbing, stabbing!This kind of sound is very uncomfortable to hear, and the hairs all over my body stand on end in an instant!
