42. The bad luck on the top of the head
I smashed it and said helplessly: "It seems that the crows in the mountains are very hospitable, forget it, let it go, and it will keep us company."
As I spoke, the crow seemed to understand the intention of my words to harm it, and flew over our heads and landed on the side of the valley ahead.
"Okay, his mother asked him to go home for dinner." Mouse did not forget to joke.
I pointed to the direction where the crow landed and said to the mouse: "Brother, look, there seems to be a temple over there. Go over and have a look."
When I got closer, I discovered that this was indeed an ancient temple. The temple door was half open, and there was a plaque on it. We couldn't understand the words written on the plaque. It must be Manchu. There was only one main hall in the courtyard of the temple gate, and it was so dark inside that we couldn't see.
What was enshrined in the Qing Dynasty? It's just that this ancient temple is extremely dilapidated and is somewhat similar to the Cui family ancestral hall we saw in Daleizi Mountain, Tonghua County a few years ago.
The rat's head shook like a rattle: "I'm not going in. Don't fuck like last time. Don't beg me. It's useless to beg me!"
"Haha...Brother Hao, you are too cowardly, aren't you? We have said that this is a treasure land of Feng Shui. How could the Qing royal family allow Youyi Village to destroy the Feng Shui here? Anyway, we are both trapped now, you are willing to stay outside
"Drinking the northwest wind, you go on your own, I'm in!" After saying that, I ignored him and ran into the courtyard. I didn't need to ask this guy for his courage and didn't dare to go forward alone. There was a pile of burning remains in front of the main hall.
There were piles of charcoal piled together. It seemed that many people had visited this ancient temple many years ago. Many bundles of firewood were also found nearby, which seemed to be specially prepared for visitors to light bonfires.
"Look, there is a well. The water we brought is gone, and we don't know if there is any water here and whether we can drink it." The mouse stood at the edge of the well and looked down.
I threw the bucket on the side into the well, causing a small splash of water under the well. I lifted the bucket and swiped it with my hands. I found that the well water was still clear and cold. However, the poisons used by the ancients were always colorless and odorless, so I did not dare to drink it rashly.
.The idiot Mouse grabbed the bucket before I could say anything and took a few sips, making squeaking sounds of enjoyment.
"You idiot...you..." As soon as I finished speaking, the mouse scooped up a puddle of water with his hand and poured it into my mouth. I fawned a few times and found that the well water was extremely sweet, almost like nectar from the sky.
He sarcastically said to me: "Haha...you keep barking! Are you poisonous? Don't drink it if you can!"
Although the well water is not poisonous, it is ice cold to the bone. The temperature is not very high in late autumn, so I shuddered after drinking a lot of water. The mouse collected the firewood and lit it. The bonfire was very bright. I don’t know what happened to this pile of firewood.
What kind of wood is it? There is a slight pine scent in the smoke, but it is not the scent of pine wood. Although the smoke is heavy, it is not choking. When you inhale it, your whole body will become more energetic.
After my head became a little clearer, I had the idea to re-evaluate our current situation. If this valley is the dragon vein of the Qing Dynasty, then the ancient temple at the foot should be the tail of the dragon, which can be said to be the entrance to the dragon vein.
It must be passed through. Can it be understood that in the previous dynasty, whenever large-scale emperors came to hold large-scale memorial ceremonies for their ancestors, they would come to this ancient temple? Looking at the large pile of charcoal left in the courtyard, I am even more convinced.
Guess. Are they performing some kind of ritual before entering the Dragon Vein? Or is the emperor just using this place as a resting place? It would be too chilling to rest. We also have to see which gods are enshrined in this temple.
