Chapter 184 Xiangu Temple (21)
But the blame is that when did these of them provoke that guy, and why did that guy keep 'yin' and help Huang Xiangu harm them? There is a force in the darkness that is pulling Ma Chengfeng closer to the mystery step by step.
"Brother Ma, think about it carefully, where was the first time you encountered that thing?" Ma Ya asked him.
Ma Chengfeng told her about what happened to him and Xiangyun last night, but along the way, he had tried his best not to violate the ancient taboo in the Xing'an Mountains, and he didn't even step on an ant to death, so how could he offend the gods and ghosts?
He said could it be that there are also mountains in the Xing'an Mountains?
Mountain Kui this creature each region has a different saying, in the Xing'an Mountains naturally there is also a mountain god saying, the local people are called mountain ghosts, every year there will be the custom of worshiping mountain ghosts, the legendary mountain ghosts are different from Shan Kui, by no means a big monkey, but a three-zhang tall giant, the giant is holding a mountain axe, covered with black 'hair' in front of the naked **, and the palms and feet are many times larger than ordinary people. But although the mountain ghosts have occasionally been seen by people for thousands of years, they have never hurt anyone. That's why the people worship it and have faith.
Obviously, the big guy with slender limbs is not the legendary mountain ghost master, the mountain ghost is the mountain god, how can the mountain god do that hurtful thing with Wong Tai Sin?
As they spoke, they roasted the lynx, which was not tasty, had an earthy smell, and was not chewy, but it was better than nibbling on a dry cake. Tonight's strange encounters made the three of them no longer dare to go out rashly to find their way, this mountain fog is a bit evil, and it is easy to 'get lost' when you go out like this.
"Ya'er, how far are we from the Hundred Ghost Caves now?"
Ma Ya told him that the Hundred Ghost Caves are easy to find, the key is that no one has ever found the legendary Xiangu Temple for so many years, if it goes well, we will be able to reach the Hundred Ghost Caves at noon tomorrow, but the Hundred Ghost Caves are all ground 'holes', and it is said that those earth 'holes' lead to the Netherworld Hell, and there are often ghosts crying from below, and even these 'yin' cold mountain fog are floating up from under the 'holes' in the Hundred Ghost Caves.
"If it is as Brother Ma said, the group of tomb robbers did not go to find the Immortal Gu Temple, but found an ancient tomb under the Hundred Ghost Caves, and this portrait of the Immortal Gu is the thing in the ancient tomb. I think...... Could it be ......" Ma Ya looked at Cheng Feng and did not continue.
"Well, the legend says that the Xianbei people built the Xiangu Temple to worship Huang Xiangu, it is likely that this ancient temple is a top and bottom, the top is enshrined in the clay statue of Huang Xiangu, and the lower side is Huang Xiangu's 'Yin' house, this Xiangu statue is the treasure inside." Cheng Feng also agreed with Ma Ya's statement.
Xiangyun was puzzled and asked: "Since it was the gang of tomb robbers who alarmed Huang Xiangu's 'yin' spirit, why did they go out safely and sell this ancient painting to Tang Scar?" ”
"These old grave rats are very cunning, I estimate that eighty percent of them have not touched their hands, they have been waiting on the ground, it is Zhao Aiguo and a few little minions who have made substitutes for them." Ma Chengfeng said.
Today is different from last night, although they have arrived in the no-man's land of the Great Khing'an Mountains, and there is fog outside, but this time they have hunting dogs rhubarb, as long as there is danger outside, rhubarb will be the first to be discovered. The three of them had already been sleepy after walking so far, and they fell asleep not long after lying on the small kang.
Early the next morning, the early morning sun dispelled the mountain fog, and the three of them packed up and took the rhubarb back on the road.
There is still an endless sea of green in the ridge, after shuttling in the primeval forest for three or four hours, you will see a hill in front of you, this hill is different from other hills, there is no green on the top, and it is densely packed with earth holes, just like a sieve. From time to time, the little creatures under the cave will poke out their little heads when they hear footsteps, and they are all yellow skins with sharp-beaked monkey gills.
The so-called Hundred Ghost Cave is just a big mound dug out of a 'hole' and 'hole' by the yellow skin. The ghosts and wolves that hunters heard when they passed by here were probably these yellow-skinned people playing tricks.
Ma Chengfeng asked her to take out the ancient painting and unfold it, and he found that the Huang Xiangu in the painting seemed to be standing in front of the Hundred Ghost Caves, facing the image in the forest that they walked through when they came. It shouldn't be wrong, the Xiangu Temple must be hidden nearby.
"Cheng Feng, Tiantian, look here?" Chu Xiangyun ran over in a few steps and found a line of blood under the mound of the Hundred Ghost Cave.
The three of them followed the bloodstains, picked up the dense bushes, and found a mound of earth not far away, judging from the color of the soil, it should have just been filled in, and the bloodstains disappeared after extending here. They tore through the mound of earth, and there were forty or fifty corpses buried underneath, all of whom had been shot dead.
"Holy! This group of dead guys, no wonder there have been accidents one after another, killing so many yellow skins? "But in the end, only three people died in the Zhao family, and even with Tang Scar, his son only had four lives, I'm afraid this tragedy is far from over.
There is a path behind the Hundred Ghost Caves, this road is paved with a layer of bluestone slabs full of monuments, and the shadow of an ancient temple can be faintly seen above the bluestone slabs, which should be the legendary Xiangu Temple. The three of them searched along the bluestone slabs, and did not find the shadow of the temple at the top of the mound, but there was a pavilion full of the style of the northern ethnic minorities, and the periphery of the pavilion was piled up with stones, and there were countless colored flags erected inside, and those colorful 'colored' small colored flags moved with the wind to make a hula and hula movement.
The stone pavilion is not small, it is like a square inside, and under the feet is a layer of white 'colored' sand, and there are dense footprints left on the sand, which looks like the group of tomb robbers had been here a few days ago.
Ma Chengfeng lowered his head, picked up the white sand and sniffed. "These are all dead people's bones and slag, and it also confirms the legend dictated by the four masters, it seems that the Great Xianbei clan really sacrificed a lot of people and animals to Huang Xiangu back then."
"Oh, Cheng Feng, don't say it, why are you so cautious? Are all the bones of dead people under our feet now? Xiangyun grinned in fright, grabbed Ma Chengfeng's arm and didn't dare to let go. Don't say Xiangyun, who wants to step on the dead man's bones and scum aisle?
The 'yin' wind on the stone pavilion is made, and the temperature is much lower than outside, although it has reached the 'spring' day, but it makes people feel a burst of scalp numbness. Several little yellow-skinned people stood up and stood in the center of the stone pavilion, staring at the little mung beans and looking at them, these little guys were not afraid of people, and they all walked up to them and did not run, as if they wanted to stop the intruders in this special way.
Barking...... Wangwang...... Rhubarb rushed up and barked wildly to drive away the yellow skin.
"Cheng Feng, Sister Xiangyun, what do you see? The stone statue...... Like a fairy painting? ”
