Mystery Leaks

Chapter 43

I took one step and looked at three steps, and squatted down to observe when there was a little trouble.

When I got closer, the ground was very clean, almost spotless, very clean, and I couldn't see any dead branches or moss.The overall feeling is incompatible with the surrounding jungle.

In front of the temple is a step, about 30 steps, all made of marble, very regular, with many weird patterns carved on it.

I lurked for a while without seeing any movement, so I walked up step by step to the front of the temple.

Looking up, there are three ancient characters written on the plaque above the temple, crooked a bit like oracle bone inscriptions, and it took a lot of effort to understand: Wudi Temple.

This makes me a little strange, how could the temple of Emperor Wu be related to the deep mountains and old forests?
The Temple of Emperor Wu is dedicated to Guan Yu, also known as the God of Wealth.

There are few people here. If a mountain temple can be understood, the Wucai Temple is a bit unbelievable.

I walked to the door cautiously, but I didn't find anyone when I glanced inside; inside was a hall, at the top, a black and yellow stone statue sat on the head, with a majestic face, wearing a jade crown with tassels on his head, and wearing a crown robe, a large toga Sleeves, green ribbons around the waist, and high-toed clogs on the feet.

The stone carvings are very exquisite and lifelike. You can clearly see the rusty dragon and phoenix patterns on the crown, as well as weapons, axes, battle chariots and horses. Although you are wearing a robe, you can feel the killing spirit like armor.

What kind of Guan Gong is this? Guan Gong has a red face with a sword, a long beard and glaring eyes, which doesn't match this sculpture at all.

I muttered in my heart, isn't it the mythical God of Wealth?But a certain emperor who had ascended the throne?

The most obvious evidence is the tasseled jade crown on the head of the statue, only the emperor is eligible to wear it, let alone wearing it by ordinary people, even if it is kept privately, it is a serious crime of treason.Not only this, but there are two yellow canopies next to the statue, which are also standard equipment for emperors.

The problem is that there are only a few orthodox Emperor Wu in history, one for Emperor Wu of Han, one for Emperor Wu of Wei, and one for Emperor Wu of Ming.

I roughly went through it, Ming Wudi is unlikely, the emperors in the middle and late Ming Dynasty were all in a mess, and no one should build temples for them.

Cao Cao, Emperor Wu of the Wei Dynasty, had a good character and integrity, but he did not proclaim himself emperor until his death. He was posthumously granted the title after his death. Moreover, during the Three Kingdoms period, his territory was in the north, and the people of Lingnan, who were far away from thousands of mountains and rivers, built temples for him. Seems unlikely.

The last one was Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who was a master of great talent and boldness, but I always felt that something was wrong. There was no reason, it was just my intuition.

These thoughts are a lot to say, but in fact they are just a few fleeting things in my mind.

Then I turned my gaze to other places. Below the statue was an altar, which was clean, with three long burning lamps arranged in a line, an incense burner, and a futon. Other than that, there were only some murals on the walls and beams. , strong antiquity, completely incomprehensible.

In short, the entire temple can be seen at a glance, no one is there.

Since no one is there, I'm not interested in going in. The top priority now is to find Cao Nan and Huang Mao. It doesn't matter who I worship in this temple.

"It's all here, why don't you go with the incense sticks?"

Just when I was about to lift my feet and leave, a voice suddenly came from inside the temple, which made me tremble all over.

"Who, who?"

I looked around hurriedly, the sound was very strange, I couldn't tell where it came from, it seemed to be on the beam, and it seemed to be underground.The timbre is also very neutral, it is not clear whether it is male or female, and it is slightly hoarse.

"It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is who you are?" The hoarse voice sounded again, still unrecognizable, no matter which direction the ear was listening to, the voice came from that direction, very strange.

I felt chills down my back, thinking that this is haunted, right?
I couldn't stay any longer, so I turned around and ran away without a second word!
But then something horrifying happened to me. I just turned around, and the jungle scenery in front of me changed into a door. Inside the door was a black and yellow portrait sculpture sitting at the top, and the long light flickered slightly. .

It is the gate of the temple!
I was stunned, I faced the temple gate and turned around to run away, why is the temple gate still in front of me?

So I turned around immediately, and it turned out... still!
I was going crazy, turning left and right unwillingly, but no matter which side I turned, I was in front of the temple gate.

Hit the wall!
I shuddered Lingling, and the existence of speaking blocked me.

"Who are you? What are you going to do to me?" I swallowed hard and said boldly, my voice was trembling, I had never encountered such a situation.

The hoarse voice didn't respond, and it was dead silent for a full minute. Just when I thought it wasn't going to answer, it finally said, "You shouldn't have come in."

The tone was very strange, as if he was stating a fact, but also seemed to be puzzled.

"I... I didn't go in." I instinctively argued that no one inside had any intention of going in.

"I'm not talking about the temple gate." It said, the doubts in its tone became more intense, as if it had encountered something it couldn't figure out.

I didn't know what it meant at all, so I didn't care so much after thinking about it, and said, "I don't know what to call you, I don't mean to offend you at all, I just lost my way in the woods, I thought there was someone here, I want to ask Dao, if there is any offense, please forgive me a lot, my lord."

No matter what it is, it’s always right to be polite. Huangmao told me that ghosts and evil spirits have temperaments just like people, and they don’t mean to hurt people when they see them. If there is conflict, try not to conflict.

Listening to what it said, it didn't seem to have obvious intentions to harm me, it just trapped me with the temple gate.

It remained silent for a while, before saying: "Since you've come in, let's offer a stick of incense to King Wu of Dayue."

My scalp is numb, it is obviously in the temple when I talk, I have 1 reluctances in my heart, but I dare not refuse, it easily traps itself here, if it is provoked, it will be finished, I am afraid I will not any resistance.

So, I had no choice but to bite the bullet and say yes, walked into the temple cautiously, picked up a piece of incense from the table and lit it on the candle, bowed, and inserted it into the incense burner.

At this time, an accident occurred. The incense had just been plugged into the incense burner and before it had time to let go, it suddenly went out without warning.

I was taken aback, looked around nervously, fearing that it might get angry, I hurriedly pulled out the incense stick and lit it again, bowed and plugged it back in.

Hell, it's gone again! !
My heart suddenly raised my throat, and I thought, what is the situation, could it be that it deliberately put the incense that can't be lighted here for me to light, and then used it as an excuse to harm me?

It's just... is it that boring?
Seeing that it still didn't make a sound, I quickly threw away that stick of incense, picked up a new one, and started over again.

Light it, insert it into the incense burner, let go, and the incense goes out!
"It's still dead!"

Thousands of alpacas rushed past in my heart, and I was completely stunned. This incense burns on the flames, doesn't it look like it is damp?how so?
At the same time, I was also very nervous. It asked me to burn incense, but I inserted it three times without praying, for fear that it would get angry.

In the end, it was not angry, but said: "Shen Mie Xiang?!" The tone became surprised, mixed with strong doubts.

"This incense...is not right." I defended tremblingly, for fear that it would go mad.

"It's not Xiang who is wrong, but you!"

It said, paused and said: "Go, don't tell anyone what happened here, remember anyone, otherwise your life will be in danger! Remember, remember!"

As the voice fell, the three oil lamps on the table suddenly went out with a "poof" without any warning, without even the remaining sparks, and for a while, the temple was completely invisible.

I turned around and ran as if I had received an amnesty. I was too nervous when I went out of the temple and almost tripped. Then I plunged into the jungle without looking back, running as fast as I could.

After running for a while, when I calmed down a bit, I instinctively looked back, only to be surprised.

The temple is gone!

The place where the temple used to be was turned into a small hill with nothing on it, nothing at all!

I gasped and ran even faster.

That temple is too weird. What is the temple of "Dayue Wuwang"? There was an emperor "Dayue Wuwang" in history?Why haven't you heard of it?

The speaking being seriously warned me not to tell about the temple, or my life would be in danger, and its tone seemed serious.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems necessary to play tricks on me. If you are afraid that I will spread the word, you can just silence me. Why bother?
I don't quite understand this joint, but it's always right to do it according to its meaning, and it's not a tourist attraction, so I won't talk about it if I don't talk about it.

You have to be careful about every weird thing that happens around you, not afraid of ten thousand, just in case.
