"Someone is knocking on the wooden fish. Is there a monk inside?" I asked Xinyue.
Xinyue didn't reply to my words, but she kept her ears tilted and listened attentively to the sound of "dong dong dong". After a while, the sound of the wooden fish disappeared.
"We can go in." After Xinyue said that, she walked inside.
It was dark inside the temple, and after I followed the new moon in, I saw nothing except those messy spider webs.
Xin Yue walked to the Buddha statue, knelt on the futon covered with a thick layer of dust, and kowtowed there. After the three heads kowtowed, Xinyue mumbled a few words, and she didn't know what she was talking about.
"Let's go behind and have a look!"
After Xinyue said that, she got up and went behind the Buddha statue.
Behind the Buddha statue, there is a small coffin. The coffin looked a bit worn and was covered with a thick layer of dust.
“Open it.” Xinyue pointed to the small coffin and said to me.
"What's in here?" I didn't dare to reach out rashly. For the sake of safety, I asked Xinyue first.
"You'll find out when you open it." Xinyue said.
“Click!”
I opened the coffin lid and found a baby’s mummy lying inside. The mummy looked dark, with two black holes for eyes, which was very scary.
"Isn't this baby the one who hurt you?" I asked.
"The soul has escaped, we have to find it back." Why can't I understand what Xinyue said?
"Your mother asked me to send you back before the rooster crows. It's getting late now. How about we go back to Sangong Cave first!" I suggested.
"If the reincarnated baby is not found, big trouble will occur." Xinyue said.
"What reincarnation baby?" I asked.
"The reincarnated baby can control the dead monks." Xinyue paused and said: "Many of the dead monks are Buddhist masters. Once something goes wrong with the reincarnated baby, those Buddhist monks who have passed away will Once an expert is controlled by him, he will He will become a ghost monk who does all kinds of evil. At that time, there will be no room for maneuver. "
"The reincarnated baby is so capable?" I looked at him in disbelief. The new moon asked.
"Because he is a reincarnated baby." Xinyue said.
"Didn't he hurt you in Thousand Tombs Forest? If we want to find that little guy, do we have to go to Thousand Tombs Forest to look for him?" I asked.
"The reincarnated baby will not stay in Thousand Tombs Forest." Xinyue said firmly.
"Why?" I asked.
"The reincarnated baby is the reincarnation of a high monk and will only go to temples. There is no temple in Thousand Tombs Forest." Xinyue said.
"Since there is no temple, why would he go there specifically to harm you?" I asked with some confusion.
“I don’t know this either.” Xinyue showed a look of confusion and said, “I asked my mother, but she didn’t tell me why. She asked us to come to Jiming Temple tonight. Just let us see if there is anything wrong with the reincarnated baby."
"What is the relationship between the reincarnated baby and your mother? Why is she taking care of this mess?" I asked.
“I’m not particularly sure about this, but I heard it seems to be related to some kind of curse.”
When Xinyue said the word “curse”, I felt like , and suddenly it thumped. Aunt Jade and my mother are good sisters. Could the curse she mentioned be the one I carry?
"Where should we find the reincarnated baby?" I asked Xinyue.
"Don't you know how to tell fortunes? The mummy of the reincarnated baby is here, you can tell it!" Xinyue said.
I have made several divination predictions tonight, and I still don’t know if they will work or not. After all, hexagrams cannot be divined without restraint.
"We can't divulge anymore. Let's go back to Sangong Cave and ask Aunt Yu! I think this matter may not be as simple as we thought." I said.
"Forget it if you don't want to go look for me. I'll go myself." Xinyue, this girl, was fine just now. Why did she suddenly become so petty?
Xinyue ran out, and I quickly chased her out, but she was nowhere to be seen.
This ghost girl runs really fast. I searched all over the area but couldn't find the new moon. Xinyue ran away, how should I explain to Aunt Yu?
With an uneasy heart, I headed towards Senzuka Forest. Xinyue ran away, I have to tell Aunt Yu about this!
I probably lost my way and took a long detour. When I arrived at Sangong Cave, it was already dawn. Sangong Cave looks clean at night, but now it is overgrown with weeds, making it impossible for people to walk in.
I couldn’t find Aunt Yu during the day, so I had no choice but to go back to Changtan Ancient Town.
Should I go back to Yudu, or stay here for one more day, and then go to Sangong Cave to look for Aunt Yu in the evening? After hesitating for a while, I decided to stay. Even if I can't find the new moon, I have to at least tell Aunt Yu!
After a busy night, I was already very tired, so I found an inn to make up for my drowsiness all morning.
In the afternoon, I wandered to Jiming Temple. When I got there, I found that there was nothing else except the Stone Chicken Gong standing at the door.
Could it be that Jiming Temple is also a haunted house? It only appears at night and disappears during the day.
Zi Zitan has been hanging out in Changtan Ancient Town for so long, he should know about these evil things in the ancient town. After thinking about it for a while, I decided to go talk to that old guy Ye Zitan to see if I could get some useful information out of him?
I went to the fortune-telling shop. Ye Zitan was sitting upright on his wicker chair, with his eyes slightly closed, as if he was concentrating with his eyes closed.
"Excuse me, sir, do you want fortune telling or fortune telling?" Ye Zitan opened his eyes and asked me.
"I want to ask you something." I said.
"I only do fortune telling and fortune telling business here, I have nothing to ask." What does Ye Zitan mean? Maybe he saw my intention, so he decided to pre-emptively block my mouth before I opened my mouth.
"My mouth grows on me. It is my freedom to ask or not to ask. As for answering or not answering, that is your right." I paused and asked: "There is a temple called Jiming Temple. Mr. Ye must have heard of the temple, right?”
"Never heard of it." Ye Zitan said.
"Mr. Ye, you are so old, how can you learn to tell lies with your eyes open?" I smiled and said: "The Jiming Temple is in Changtan Ancient Town, you You actually said you’ve never heard of this? I’m afraid you even You can’t believe it?”
“It’s not your place to ask about. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, it won’t be anyone else but you.” Ye Zitan gave me a cold look. , he seemed to want me to give up.
"When you are destined to be unlucky, you will naturally be unlucky. You are going to be unlucky anyway, so why not satisfy your curiosity. Knowing the whole story, even if you are unlucky, it is not a loss!" I said .
“Do you really want to know about Jiming Temple?” Ye Zitan asked me.
"Of course." I looked at Ye Zitan with serious eyes and said, "If I don't want to know, why should I come to you and shamelessly ask you?"
"Jiming Temple is A temple, you know that." Ye. Zitan glanced at me indifferently and said: "Since you are asking about the temple, you should naturally ask a monk? Come and ask me a fortune teller, how can you find out!"
"Monk? Which monk?" I asked.
“There are temples in Changtan Ancient Town during the day.” After Ye Zitan said this, he stopped talking.
Is there a temple during the day? I've walked around Changtan Ancient Town several times, but I haven't found any temples anywhere?
Below the nose is the mouth. If you can't find it, you can ask! After coming out of the fortune-telling shop, I went to find an old man to ask. The old man told me that there was a ruined temple to the west of the ancient town, and there was an old monk in the temple.
That old guy Ye Zitan doesn’t seem to be telling lies to me! There is indeed a temple in the ancient town of Changtan.
After thanking the old man, I headed west.
That ruined temple is not only ruined, but also very small. I asked many people and searched for a long time before I finally found the ruined temple. There was indeed an old monk in the ruined temple, but the monk looked crazy, like a lunatic.
