Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    To the west of Heyue Town, there is a small mountain. This mountain occupies a small area and is low in altitude. It looks like a mountain but not a mountain, and looks like a slope but not a slope. It has been an unknown mountain since ancient times.

    However, the temple located on that mountain still has the name Liuhe Temple.

    Today, it is impossible to verify the specific year of construction of this temple, but the term "thousand years" should be relatively reliable.  Whether it is external records or ancient scriptures preserved in the temple, they can all prove the long history of this temple.

    As a building that has existed for more than a thousand years and is still in use, Liuhe Temple has undoubtedly undergone many renovations.  On weekdays, monks spontaneously carry out countless minor repairs and repairs. Speaking of major repairs alonethere are nineteen recorded cases.  And the most recent time was forty years ago.

    At that time, Heyue Town was at its most stable and prosperous period.  After decades of development and accumulation, the third generation descendants of those original refugees have experienced a period of good times.  Although it cannot be said that there is not a single poor person in the town, but people sleeping on the streets, starving and freezing it is indeed impossible to find them.

    As the saying goes A person with a solid warehouse knows etiquette; a person with enough food and clothing knows honor and disgrace.  Since the citizens of Heyue Town are already getting by in terms of material civilization, they naturally have the leisure to engage in some spiritual civilization construction.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Out of the eight honors and eight "shame" were impossible for the common people (the situation in the world of this script is basically equivalent to ancient Chinese feudal society). In addition to traditional etiquette, justice, integrity, and shame, they also talked about religious superstition.

    Considering that the monks of Liuhe Temple were kind to the ancestors of the townspeople, and that the town has basically had good weather over the years Therefore, the townspeople planned to do something for the temple, firstly to repay the kindness of the monks in the temple, and secondly.  Thank you God for your blessings over the years.

    So, forty years ago, with the negotiation between the then mayor of Heyue Town and the abbot of Liuhe Temple, the townspeople raised a donation.  It is planned to use the money to completely renovate the temple and reshape the golden bodies of many Buddha statues in the temple.

    This was originally a good thing, but the outcome of the matter was beyond everyone's expectations

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    Renovating a temple as big as Liuhe Temple is a long-term and large-scale project that requires a lot of craftsmen and labor.  The manpower in Heyue Town alone is obviously not enough.  Fortunately the project funds are still relatively abundant, so the foreman in charge of the project recruited a lot of manpower from the villages and towns surrounding Heyue Town.

    That year, among the workers who came to repair the temple.  There was a middle-aged stonemason from other places.  This person's surname is Zhang, and his single name has the character Ke.  Although his parents gave him a very stable name, Zhang Ke's personality seems to be the opposite of his name.  Not only was he not very prudent, he was also extremely frivolous and nosy.

    One night forty years ago, Zhang Ke had a few more drinks at a wine shop in the town. With the help of the wine, he suddenly had a whim and wanted to explore the "Shiyuan Pagoda" in Liuhe Temple.  ¡­

    ??Speaking of the Shiyuan Pagoda.  It is indeed a quite mysterious place.  There has been an iron rule in Liuhe Temple since ancient times. Except for the abbot himself, no one is allowed to enter the stone courtyard of the temple, let alone step into the pagoda in the stone courtyard.

    Before the temple was renovated, the abbot had repeatedly warned the mayor.  Don't let anyone near the stone courtyard.  And the mayor also conveyed the abbot's words effectively to all the workers involved in the repair work.

    To be honest in the eyes of the workers, this matter is actually not a big deal.  If it's a nunneryyou said there's a forbidden area or something, people might be a little bit interested in snooping; but the forbidden area in the monk's templeyou can't enter if you don't enter it. Do you still expect to pick up the cultivator by touching it?  A magic weapon or a secret book?

    But there is just such a person.  Very curiousthat's Zhang Ke.

    This guy is a typical case of a secondary disease that turns into a terminal illness after long-term treatment. Moreover, his personality is the kind of person whose IQ drops off the line after eating two bowls of yellow soup, and he is extremely courageous.  The more you don't let him go, the more he will go and then come back and brag about it.  It's also great to act like a hero in front of your peers.

    But we all know that real heroesare more or less extraordinary and have "strength".

    Some people, after drinking several kilograms of old wine, can walk on mountain roads in the dark and kill a ferocious national first-level protected animal with their bare hands; while some people can still drink and walk on mountain roads in the dark after drinking several kilograms of old wine, but in the end they end up with a foot.  He slipped and died in a ravine.

    Judging from Zhang Ke's performance in the past few decadeshe definitely belongs to the latter.

    So he went  he couldn't live or die.

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    "Only a few people know what exactly happened that night, and outsiders only knowthat night after that"?, no one has seen Zhang Ke again.

    A few days later, the mayor gave an explanation Zhang Ke accidentally entered the forest after being drunk and was eaten by wild beasts, leaving no trace of his body.

    And this statementnaturally did not satisfy Zhang Ke's family, and they soon went to the government.

    The first official administrative official of Heyue Town was appointed by an envoy sent by the imperial court in the fifteenth year after the town was established; and the person appointed was the mayor who was in office at that time.  It was obvious that the imperial court did not attach much importance to the management of this remote town, and it was nothing more than a formality.  The main purpose is to officially integrate the town into the national establishment to facilitate tax collection.

    Later, there was a more formal government office in the town, and the law was replaced from the original "village law" to the code promulgated by the imperial court.  However, in general, the town is still in an "autonomous" state, and the vast majority of officials are locals.

    After Zhang Ke¡¯s case was discovered, his family would certainly not be stupid enough to come to Heyue Town to file a complaint Therefore, they went directly to the higher-level government office.

    "And the government indeed sent people to investigate.

    The investigation process of this case can be said to be a mystery to outsiders.  Although many rumors have leaked out, the content is controversial and the authenticity is difficult to distinguish.

    The only thing that is certain is that the attitude of the official handling the case has been twists and turns. From the beginning, he was "swearing to uphold justice and unyielding", to "the attitude has cooled down and he is full of doubts", and then to the later stage When he discussed the case, he had already  It is a state of "evasive and taciturn".

    At the same time, the detectives who were handling the case also made some creepy and bizarre remarks to the public intentionally or unintentionally They probably said, "There are some unclean things in the stone courtyard pagoda, Zhang Ke  This guy is looking for death, and I¡¯m afraid his soul is gone.¡±

    In short, after a month, the case was finally settled.  The final result was that the government intervened and asked the temple to pay Zhang Ke's family a sum of money, whether it was compensation or hush money Anyway, that was the end of the matter.  Zhang Ke's family members either choose to take the money and accept the claim that he was "eaten by wild beasts and his body is gone"; or there is no money and no claim.

    In this way, the family members of the parties involved can only choose to settle the matter and let the matter come to an end.

    However people at the time certainly didn't expect that this case would pave the way for a catastrophic disaster forty years later.

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    "Hmmit's really spooky" When he came to the gate of Liuhe Temple, Wang Tanzhi looked up at the tall bronze door and muttered softly.

    He spoke very softly, not because he was worried about being discovered by someone in the distance, but because he felt guilty, so he lowered his voice instinctively.

    ¡°I thought there was enough stinking blood in the town, but compared with this placeit pales in comparison.¡± Xiao Ling, who was standing next to Xiao Tan, covered his nose and muttered.

    At this time, about half an hour has passed since the script started.  Xiaotan and Xiaoling met on the way to Liuhe Temple. Until they arrived here, neither of them found any signs of other players around them.

    Based on their investigative expertise, the possibility of being secretly followed is extremely low; and if someone had arrived here before them, they would most likely have caught their traces.  Therefore it can be basically concluded that they are the two players who came to Liuhe Temple the fastest.

    Of course we cannot rule out the possibility that someone was placed inside the temple as soon as they entered the script

    "Howare we going to get in?" Xiaotan thought for a few seconds in front of the door, then turned around and asked, "Should we knock on the door and try, or break the door directly? Orjust climb in through the wall?  "

    Hearing this, Xiao Ling thought for a few seconds, then silently took two steps forward and grabbed the copper handle on the door.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

    She exerted a little force, and the huge door was pushed open.

    "Eh?" Xiaotan was stunned for a moment and asked, "How do you know you can push it away with just one push?"

    "I don't know." Xiao Ling shrugged, "I'm just trying"

    She couldn¡¯t finish her sentence, because before the last word ¡°has¡± was spoken, a mass of blood mist rolled out from the door, quickly wrapped Xiaoling¡¯s whole body and dragged him into the door

    A second later, Xiao Tan instinctively rushed forward, trying to hold Xiao Ling's hand, but at this moment the blood mist had completely dragged the latter into the door.

    When a look of astonishment appeared on Xiao Tan's face, the door in front of him had suddenly been closed again.  (To be continued)i1292
