1023. Chapter 1023: The Cat Temple
It can only be explained in this way, but what about the hole behind him that was killed by yellow mud? Is there an identical hole?
"What should we do now?, will we go back the way we came or will we ......?" Chu Tianyue asked Lan Caidie. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Blue Butterfly has more ideas than her, and she has more experience than her.
"No, even if we go back the way we came, it's midnight when we go back, how can we go? Let's try our luck. So saying, she stepped forward and kicked the hole that was still dry.
The outside immediately penetrated the dazzling light, the blue butterfly quickly covered her eyes with her hands, and when the eyes adapted to the sunlight, she took a look out, ah! This is not the Lingmao ditch, the wind and the sun are beautiful outside, the sunset is warm sprinkled on the Loess Plateau, the sky is already clear, the rain has all penetrated into the ground, after the heavy rain, scattered green shoots have emerged on the loess.
The two of them crawled out of the Nine Lives Cave, greedily breathing in the fresh air after the rain. They stood on a high hill, and when they climbed over it, they could see the Lingmao Gully, where the water was deep and flowing downstream.
There is a big poplar tree that has long died on the side of the shade of this hill, behind the poplar is a dilapidated small temple, the small temple looks like it has been some years, even the eyes of the tiles have been invaded by the wind and rain, the temple door is planted on the side, it is a wooden door, the door has long been rotten, it is estimated that the door can be kicked down with one foot now.
"Temple, Lingmaogou, Caidie, we have arrived, this is it, the temple that Gawa said his mother!" Chu Tianyue shouted excitedly.
At this time, suddenly a shadow flew out behind him, Lan Caidie's eyes were sharp, and he pushed Chu Tianyue away with one hand, only to see a cat sitting in front of them with its teeth and claws, meowing and growling.
"It's your !! again, there is a way in heaven that you don't go, and there is no door in hell, so you have to break in! Today, this girl is going to teach you a good lesson, this thief cat!" Lan Caidie is so angry, if it weren't for this thief cat, would the two girls be so embarrassed? Look at this muddy water, look at the yellow mud soup on this face.
The cat also sensed the killing intent of the butterfly, and quickly turned around and ran, the blue butterfly chased after it, and took off the butterfly hairpin from the head from time to time, and the hidden weapons kept throwing, but the cat was not as good as a person, it acted quickly and dodged left and right, and none of them hit.
"Caidie, are you still chasing, wait for me!" Chu Tianyue knew that she couldn't stop her, so she could only follow her and run towards the broken temple.
This temple is so dilapidated, the courtyard inside is overgrown with dead grass, and the dead grass is more than one person high, and it is impossible to see that anyone lives here. The cat disappeared after burrowing into the grass, and even though the blue butterfly had great ability, it was too difficult to find a nimble cat in this wilderness.
"Let the thief cat run away again!" she stomped her foot angrily.
"Caidie, do you look at the temple as Gawa and his mother said, why don't I think it looks like there are people living here?" Chu Tianyue stood outside the temple and didn't dare to come in, she still clearly remembered that when she was on the Horqin grassland, it was easy to parasitize worms in this deep grass, and that thing was too scary.
"You look at this ruined temple, it must have been around for years, don't mention the dynasty, just say that it is from the Tang Dynasty, I believe it." Lan Caidie carefully pushed away the wild grass and walked into the temple, there is only one big hall in the temple, and the statues of the gods enshrined in the hall are about to collapse, it is not a human statue, but a bottle of cat elephant, but it is larger than the nine bottle cat elephant seen in the Nine Lives Cave just now, and it is obviously better carved.
However, no matter how good the carving is, it can't withstand the invasion of wind and sand in the northwest, and it is a miracle that this nearly 1,000-year-old temple can now leave a frame.
In the temple, there are not even a few tiles left, and the sky is exposed above. Fortunately, the terrain in this small temple is slightly higher, and the water accumulated in the heavy rainstorm just now has all dried up.
The sky has gradually darkened, the two girls have not found any trace of Lingzhou City, nor have they found the descendant surnamed Wu, and Caidie has not caught up with the thief cat. The two of them were very disappointed, they were tired from the day's work, and they were covered in muddy water, but in the end nothing was done, and now they can only sit in this deserted and ruined temple with their heads drooping.
Lan Caidie's stomach gurgled, but how could there be anything to eat in this place? There was no food, no wild vegetables, not even a single beast or bird, the more she thought about it, the more she hated the thief cat, otherwise would she be able to eat an extra piece of fairy shellfish to quench her hunger?
"Eat a piece of cake, right? Although it's a little dry, it's better than being hungry?" Chu Tianyue was kind-hearted, don't look at Lan Caidie just now and didn't give her Wangwang Xianbei, but she won't mind.
"Thanks, if I hadn't been so selfish just now, maybe the thief cat wouldn't have stolen it. She blamed herself.
"It's okay, you're a little careful, isn't it just a cat? A wild cat living in such a place must be hungry, and eating a piece of your fairy shell may save its life." She comforted her.
"Okay, for your cake, I'll support you this time, Sister Tianyue, it's getting dark, do you think we're going back? Or continue to look around here?" It's almost seven o'clock in the evening, and the northwest sunset is early, if the two girls go out now, maybe they can find a road to take a ride back.
"Hey, look at us like this, how embarrassing it is? If you go out and meet someone, people still think what's wrong with the two of us? Or let's stay up all night here, and your master will come to us tomorrow." "She is not from the rivers and lakes, so she has never suffered this crime, and the muddy water has made her reluctant to see outsiders.
Chu Tianyue was carefully looking for something after bypassing the mud elephant, after all, she was a graduate of archaeology, and she couldn't forget her major wherever she went. I saw that on the base of this clay elephant, you can faintly see the foundation of the supervision of the original repair of it.
"Lingzhou Superintendent Office!" In addition to this bottom paragraph, there is a small line of handwriting underneath. "Wu Qingyuan donated".
"Sister Tianyue, what do you mean by this?" Caidie asked.
Chu Tianyue said that the first line of the payment means that the clay cat elephant was carved by the craftsmen of the Lingzhou City Government Supervision Office, and the money used in the construction of the temple and the clay sculpture was all donated by this person named Wu Qingyuan. It not only represents individuals, but also represents the Lingzhou City Government.
"Wu Qingyuan? is surnamed Wu again? Rich people have only heard of donating money to build temples and Taoist temples, but they have never heard of building a cat temple, do you think this Wu Qingyuan will be the biological father of the black beaver?" Lan Caidie analyzed.
"Well, there is this possibility, and it can be seen that there is still some basis for this folk joke that my teacher overheard, at least half of it seems to be true now. ”
