【012】An ancient temple
"Who heard the bell," Xu Qian asked in surprise, and everyone shook their heads.
Qin Nan also certainly told Xu Qian and others that there were no temples here, and that she must have heard it from the wrong ears.
It was said that Xu Qian had heard it awkwardly, but Vanilla also heard it. When the two girls heard the bell, they had to go and see it no matter how hard they were.
Ran Qin didn't think so. She said that she came out this time and said that she was not here to travel or to appreciate scenic spots and historical sites, but to save people.
At first glance, when I heard that there was a temple in the deep mountains and old forests, the little girl who came with Qin Nan, Lin Xiaowan shouted excitedly, saying that she must go to worship the Bodhisattva in the temple.
Zhong Kui agreed with Ran Qin's words.
He knew nothing about Buddhism and Taoism, and he was even more a layman in his understanding, meditation, and "Taoism and Confucianism". However, he still had a little bit of feelings about the temple, thinking that since he had come here, he would go to the temple to see those things. The clay Buddha worshipped, deep in his deep memory, seems to have a certain connection with him.
If you really say there is a temple, it doesn't matter if you go and have a look. Xiaowan said he wanted to go to the temple to ask for a peace talisman. Xu Qian didn't want to go, and Vanilla wanted to take care of Wengen. For a while, several people had different opinions, but in There are only a few people in this wilderness, so it is impossible to separate. Although there are no legendary monsters and monsters here, you must also act carefully.
"Don't be careless. Those jackals, tigers and leopards are indispensable in the mountains and forests. If anyone doesn't want to survive, just try it." Zhong Kui is not fooling people. He once heard his father tell the story of tigers eating people.
Zhong Kui's words really scared Xiaowan and Xu Qian. Finally reached an agreement and delayed the temple for a few minutes before leaving.
Under Qin Nan's leadership, Zhong Kui and Xiao Ming waved their machetes and cut off the thorns that blocked their way, and various thorns vines, searching for the direction where the bell sound came from. After searching for half an hour, they finally went to A temple was found in a hidden place, located in a concave area.
The temple environment is quiet and solemn, especially the towering ancient trees surrounding the temple, with pine and cypresses, lush bamboos and green grass.
Surprisingly, the gate of the temple was closed, and no one came to respond regardless of whether they shouted, knocked, or waited.
Qin Nan and others were knocking on the door.
The female family members such as Xiaowan and Xu Qian seemed a little anxious and were eager to open the temple.
Zhong Kui habitually frowned, looked around them with a vigilant look, and his eyes fell on the two stone statues at the entrance of the temple. The strange stone statues. Looking at the stone statues, his facial expression changed subtly.
Under the care of Vancao, Wengen leaned against the stone statue at the entrance of the temple to rest. His eyes were still dull and speechless. Before leaving, Ran Qin mentioned that he would be sent to the neurology department to take a look.
However, Zhong Kui carefully observed Wen Gen's condition. His source of the disease was caused by frightening and stress, as well as the external indescribable force. It cannot be cured by the hospital. He still has to find the root cause of the disease.
Wengen's situation is unknown.
The temple has not opened its door for a long time, so time cannot continue to be consumed like this.
"Well, since this temple lives in seclusion in the mountains and forests, it is very likely that it will not be open to the public. We should leave quickly and do the important thing,"
Ran Qin nodded and agreed, "Zhong Kui's words make a lot of sense,"
Qin Nan said: "Okay,"
Xiaowan pouted and kicked the closed door angrily, "What's the matter? It's not open to the public. It turns out that the people here are not humans, just like the clay Buddha, who don't eat or drink,"
"Don't worry, let's go," Qin Nan grabbed Wan'er and left.
"Oh, it turns out that I want to enter the temple to be convenient and convenient, but I didn't expect..." Ran Qin sighed and looked back at the temple gate again, as if she felt the gate tremble slightly... She suspected that her eyes were wrong, so she paused for a moment and would do it again Look, there seemed to be no movement in the gate. He shook his head, turned around, and saw that Zhong Kui and his group had already walked away, so he hurriedly ran a few steps to follow.
"Qin Nan, you remember correctly. This is the route you are taking,"
"No,"
"Then this temple is not marked on your map," Zhong Kui shook the road map and wondered.
"I don't know, I have no impression of this temple, and we didn't hear bells or anything like that when we passed here,"
"Yeah," Zhong Kui nodded and did not continue to ask.
Along the way, the ladies listened quietly to the conversation between Zhong Kui and Qin Nan. After the two of them stopped talking, Ran Qin said, "I think that temple is a bit strange,"
"That's right, I think it's strange," Lin Xiaowan pulled the strap on her backpack and continued in a crisp voice: "We have knocked for so long, but the door has not opened. Is it strange if you think it's strange?"
"I'm not saying this strangely," Ran Qin corrected Xiao Wan.
Xiaowan moved her mouth and wanted to continue to argue.
"Okay, no matter how strange the temple is, we don't pay attention to it now. Let's talk about it when Wengen and Zhiqing's affairs are done," Zhong Kui stopped them from continuing to argue, and said seriously.
Vanilla is very capable and can identify some herbal specimens that cannot be seen in the county. Along the way, I keep picking some fresh herbs and stuffing them into my backpack.
There are everything in the mountains and forests, there are the wild strawberries that are so red that they make you salivate at first glance, and the sour and unripe mulberry fruits. The leaf persimmons are the first time that vanilla sees. The half-baked wild persimmons are sent to the public It's so bitter that my tongue can't be straightened.
They didn't know that they had walked a long mountain road, crossed many steep ridges, and finally arrived at a relatively flat place with circular hills around them.
Qin Nan pointed to the map and said, crossing another beam to reach the place where they and Wengen broke up. When they reached the ridge where they broke up, two roads appeared in front of them, one road was bumpy and no trace of anyone walking, and the other road was flat Although it is also overgrown with weeds, it seems to be traces of people stepping on it.
Yes, Zhong Kui finally chose the road that had human footprints, which led directly to a village.
The Reindeer Bay is a small and unknown place. The location is not located on the map at all. It can be said to be a small spot on the earth. The population here is about a few hundred people, and the per capita area is not wide. If you go out, you can see it. ,Their village is like an isolated island, but there is also a large island outside the isolated island.
It is said that the ancestor of the people in this village was a brave and warlike general. In order to block the fleeing Japanese pirates, they had to stay here, and then reproduced their descendants and became an isolated village far away from the downtown area.
The entire village is surrounded by a curved lake, and the entrance to the village is at the gap of the lake. At the other end of the lake, the opposite position for the village is a seemingly barren uninhabited deserted island.
The people here are simple and the villagers are kind and generous. When Zhong Kui and others arrived, they were treated like distinguished guests. Some people killed chickens and sheep, some people took rice wine from the brewed rice, and some people told them that two people had arrived before, one The person is missing, and the person is still sleeping.
Ran Qin and the others were all surprised when they heard the villagers' words.
"Is it him?" Zhong Kui hurriedly pushed Wengen to them and asked.
"Yes, yes, it's him," the villagers said in unison.
It seems that Wengen has a story, why he was missing from the villagers' mouths, and why he became a god-like figure.
