I took a flashlight and shined on the old mechanical watch on my wrist. It was almost ten o'clock in the evening, but I still couldn't get out of the nearby mountain valley. Mang Mountain is neither high nor steep. It is compared to famous mountains, but compared to individuals, I have to admit that this mountain is really big enough.Because it is recorded in ancient books that Mang Mountain produces several rare herbs, so I packed my luggage and went into the mountain to collect herbs. Such rare herbs are only stored in ancient books, and naturally they will not grow in tourist attractions with beautiful scenery and constant flow of people. Therefore, I went all the way along Beimang, and found several rare herbs during the period. I have no choice but to think I couldn't find the Phoenix Black Lotus Seed I wanted, so I could only continue to go deep into Mang Mountain.

Unexpectedly, around dusk today, there was fog in this barren mountain. Although the mist has dissipated a lot, the bright moon quietly peeped out of the sky, the brilliance is mottled, but I lost my way. But I am not in a hurry. There is still a small path to follow. Although it is a bit steeper, there is a road after all. There is a road, which means there are people nearby. As long as you find a bow, you can go to stay overnight . With a flashlight on, I walked around a not-so-high mountain, and was overjoyed. There were more than a dozen sparsely populated houses not far in front of me under the moonlight, presumably hunters in the mountains.

Thinking of this, I quickened my pace and walked forward—— "Tap, tap, tap—" Suddenly, footsteps came from behind me, and I not only frowned, it's this time again in this barren mountain, is it possible that there are still people who are traveling at night like me. Moreover, most people who walk outside don't know how to wear slippers. Even if there are footsteps when walking, it's not like this—the footsteps seem to be the sound of a woman wearing plastic slippers. It's really weird in this barren mountain. I was suspicious in my heart, and I heard the sound of tapping footsteps, which seemed to be unbearably far away from me, no, to be precise, they should be following me.

I stopped and asked, "Who?" But to my surprise, when I stood still, the sound of footsteps behind me also disappeared at the same time, and that person—it seemed that he also stood still and stopped moving forward. Have you come across something dirty?My heart skipped a beat. This Mang Mountain has always been known as a haunted house, and the emperors of all dynasties have built tombs here. So far, thousands of ancient tombs have been discovered, and there are also some unnamed tombs. , God knows what dynasty and who it belongs to?In addition, the tombs of Luoyang natives of past dynasties...

On this Mang Mountain, there are really many barren tombs. In the Tang Dynasty, Bai Juyi wrote in a poem: The tomb of Beiman is so high. So at night, in the barren mountains of Beimang, there was even a chill——behind me, the man didn't say a word, and the sound of his footsteps disappeared strangely. I thought about it, and walked forward again, but just after I took a few steps, the sound of "tapping, tapping" footsteps came again from behind me. I was afraid, holding the flashlight in one hand, and He firmly grasped the shovel that he usually used for picking medicine, and then turned around abruptly.

The moment I turned around, the sound of footsteps that seemed to be sticking behind me disappeared strangely again, and there was nothing behind me, not even a shadow of a ghost. Thinking of the word "ghost", I shuddered involuntarily. Did I really touch something unclean?As the saying goes, if you walk too much at night, you will eventually encounter ghosts. "Not afraid, not afraid!" I comforted myself in my heart, people are afraid of ghosts, and ghosts are also afraid of people, as long as I am not frightened by them.Thinking of this, I opened my throat and started to sing—the red star's twinkling, raised a big knife and chopped off the devil's head.

My broken voice is extremely rough and unpleasant, and it has gone out of tune and I don't know where it went. The voice just drifts in the barren mountains.This method really worked, the damn footsteps behind me finally disappeared, and the person—or the ghost—did not follow. Soon, the mountain village was in sight. I had just walked around a locust forest, and suddenly found that there was a dilapidated ancient temple beside the locust forest, and there was still a faint light inside. "There is a temple here?" I thought I was stunned, and then I was a little happy. There is a temple just right, so I can go to stay for a night, ask for a sip of hot water, and ask for directions when I wait for dawn.

I was frightened by the abrupt footsteps just now, but at this moment, I still feel chills running down my spine. Thinking of this, I walked quickly to the ancient temple and took a photo with a flashlight. There was a plaque hanging on the main gate of the ancient temple, which was also dilapidated and the paint was mottled. I could vaguely distinguish it-Honglian Temple. I patted hard on the dilapidated but still heavy wooden door, and asked, "Is anyone there?" I called the door twice, but still no one answered. I wondered in my heart, could it be that the monks in the temple were all asleep, so that the gate of the mountain was always ringing like this, and no one paid any attention to me?Thinking in my heart, I couldn't help pushing the door hard.

Unexpectedly, I pushed the wooden door hard, and it opened with a creak. I was stunned, don't the monks in this temple close the door at night?Not afraid of thieves?While thinking, I walked in, raised my head abruptly, and saw Sakyamuni on the Buddha bed, with a smile on his face and a solemn treasure appearance, and immediately knelt down on the thin ball and bowed three times. On the Buddhist altar, there was only one candle that was still lit, while the incense inside the incense burner had been extinguished long ago. Obviously, the incense in this temple was not strong, and I thought it was true. The temple was built in such a place, and I wanted the incense to prosper. It's really difficult. If it's in a scenic spot with a high flow of people, it's naturally different.

"Is anyone there?" I couldn't help asking again. Still no one answered me, I walked along the altar and turned to the back, and when I saw it, I was suddenly chilled. Behind the Buddha statue of Sakyamuni, the general temples are dedicated to Guanyin, but this small temple Fortunately, there are no gods and Buddhas behind, but a dark coffin. It was pitch black at the back, and there was no light. I turned on the flashlight and took a picture. There was a spirit card in front of the coffin, but there was no word on the spirit card. This is really weird. "Forget it, ignore it. Since there is no one, I will sleep under the altar in front of me and wait until dawn!" I thought of this, and immediately turned back to the Buddha statue and sat on the thin ball , Leaning in front of the altar, I walked the mountain road for a day, and I was already exhausted, so it didn't take long before I fell asleep in a daze.

But as soon as I fell asleep here, I heard the scratching noise of "quack-quack-quack-", which woke me up immediately. I was restless, so I changed to a more comfortable posture, and wanted to continue to sleep, but the constant noise of the frogs was too much to bear. Moreover, listening to the noise of the frogs, it seemed that I was right at the gate of the temple. "Damn it!" I cursed, thinking to myself, "Scream, scream, I'll make you quarrel, I caught you and roasted you to eat!" I picked up the medicine shovel and walked outside with the flashlight, I didn't really want to catch a toad and roast it, but it was scratching so badly that I wanted to drive it away so I could go back to sleep. Following the sound of the frogs, I looked for them with a flashlight. On the bluestone slab at the entrance of the temple, there was a toad the size of a bowl squatting, singing to the moon—— "No matter how much you scream, it's impossible to enter the Toad Palace!" I cursed in my heart, holding up the medicine shovel, and approached carefully. However, when I walked up to this toad, I couldn't help being stunned, the lines on this toad's body?It's so weird?Ordinary toads are black and covered with pustules all over their bodies, making them extremely ugly.But the body of this toad turned out to be smooth, and on the skin, there were patches of silver spots interspersed with golden thread-like patterns... Gold Thread Silver Toad? The medicine shovel in my hand was held high above my head, and I didn’t want to drop it. God——I actually saw a strange creature recorded in an ancient book near this barren mountain temple? And when I was so dazed, the big toad probably sensed the danger, and jumped into the nearby grass with a whoosh. don't go!I hurriedly shouted, and followed after talking. According to ancient books, wherever this silver toad appears, there are strange medicines and herbs growing. This is a great opportunity, how could I miss it? But although the big toad looked bulky, it moved quite fast, and it sank into the grass in just a few strokes. I was anxious and looked around with a flashlight. "Quack——" Just when I had no idea, that damned big toad croaked again. It seemed that it was not far ahead. I walked around the deserted temple and saw the silver toad under a big locust tree. He squatted on a piece of bluestone again, scratching constantly. "Where are you going!" I yelled in my heart, and immediately slowed down and approached the silver toad carefully, but at this moment, my foot stumbled, and I couldn't help but stumbled forward. After taking a few steps, although I didn't fall down, I was really scared for a while. Looking down, I felt a sudden chill, the one that tripped me turned out to be a human head... Although it was not a real human head, I was still taken aback by the boss. I held up a flashlight and looked at it. It should be a stone man. I looked around, and besides the stone man lying on the ground in the grass, there were also some messy bluestones scattered around. It seems that there should be tombs here? I took a few more steps forward, and sure enough, a broken tombstone fell on the ground. Since the back was facing up, I couldn't see the writing on the tombstone clearly, so I couldn't tell whose tomb it belonged to. "Gah——" After such a delay, Yin Chan ran away somewhere, and the voice sounded a little dull, as if it was far away. But I still didn't want to give up just like that. I followed the frogs to find it, and bypassed the big locust tree. , a large black hole as high as one person appeared.That should be the entrance of the ancient tomb, but I don't know if the ancient tomb was stolen, or it fell into disrepair after a long time? And the sound of the frogs was obviously coming from the ancient tomb - whether I should go in and have a look, I stood at the entrance of the dark ancient tomb, hesitating in my heart.
