Idle game leads to another world

Deep mountains, ruined temples, and heavy rains, this is a perfect ghost scene.

The three of them were shocked when they saw a dark figure reflected on the window.

But soon they saw someone pushing the door open and looking surprised when they saw Yang Yiyi and the others inside.

"I never thought that someone was already here. I asked the girls to forgive me for barging in rashly."

This man looked to be a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties. He was wearing a raincoat that was still dripping. He looked like he was just passing by.

But all three of them were keenly aware that this man had a simple knife on his waist, and the scabbard held up a corner of his coir raincoat.

"I am Wang Zhen, the head of the Xingyuan Escort Bureau. It's dark and rainy when we pass through this place. Please make it convenient for the girls."

Yang Yiyi quietly stuffed Yu Gui into her arms for fear of being seen, while Zheng Yinping cupped her fists and said:

"You're welcome, Mr. Wang. There is a lot of open space in the temple. You can just deal with it yourself."

"Thank you."

The head escort Wang said hello, and immediately four or five people came in carrying a large wooden box. It looked like it had rained heavily during the escort trip and they took shelter in the Taoist temple.

These people were in the other corner of the Taoist temple, far away from each other. When someone was wiping the water on their bodies, someone must have been watching the movements around them. It can be seen that even if they saw Yang Yiyi and the other three girls, they did not take it lightly at all.

"It's an escort. This is my first time seeing an escort from an escort agency."

Yang Yiyi looked very excited and whispered:

"My brother-in-law is an escort. When I was a kid, I really hoped that my brother-in-law would take me with him."

Zheng Yinping was not as optimistic as Yang Yiyi. She also responded in a low voice:

"Be careful, the escorts these people transport are not simple."

"Don't you usually help banks transport money?"

"The cash box isn't that light."

Li Chengqi interrupted:

"And you see there is a seal on the box and there are several locks on it. It's a hidden dart."

The escort agency is actually very similar to logistics, but the difference is that the goods transported by the escort agency are usually of higher value and need to deal with the prying eyes of bandits and the like, which is equivalent to the armed escort of a cash transport truck.

There are two types of darts: open darts and secret darts.

Things transported by Ming escorts are legal, and there are generally a large number of escorts responsible for escorting, and they carry the flag of the escort agency while walking.

When faced with a strongman trying to rob him, he usually would not take action.

On the one hand, the escort agency has some friendship with the Green Forest Heroes, and they can be let in as long as they give some benefits. Second, in a fight, neither party is willing to suffer losses.

Therefore, the risk is still very low if the escort agency uses an open escort.

But the secret dart is different.

Neither the escort nor the escort agency knows what the secret escort transports. They usually put a seal on it and lock it, and then the consignee will check and open it when it reaches the place.

Thanks to this property, shipments of anything from curiosities to contraband are possible.

The things transported by secret escorts are of higher value and more dangerous. They usually do not make any fanfare, but use several escorts to travel lightly.

The escort object is just a big box. A normal escort would not transport such a small amount of things and would lose money. Nor would only a few escorts travel lightly. Only a secret escort would be so cautious.

If you encounter an escort on the road, you can even walk with them for a while, but if you encounter a secret escort, it is best to stay away to avoid running into someone who robs the escort and involve yourself.

Li Chengqi used the mouse to click on the box placed among the escorts. He could only see the item attributes of the box, but not what was inside.

However, the attributes say information such as 'Mother-and-Mother Mandarin Duck Lock' and 'There is a Flying Needle Mechanism Inside'. You can tell at a glance that the luck is definitely not simple.

"Stay away from them when you have a rest later. When you set off, let them go first, don't walk together."

Zheng Yinping and Li Yingluo nodded in agreement, and Li Chengqi's advice was very pertinent.

Yang Yiyi was obedient, but she would look at the escorts sitting around from time to time, as if she was looking forward to them.

dividing line

While hiding from the rain on the way, they encountered a escort transporting escorts. The three girls themselves were in a state of being hunted, and they really shouldn't cause trouble.

But unfortunately, the heavy rain showed no sign of letting up at all. It started falling at noon and did not stop for an hour. Instead, the sky became darker and darker, as if a heavier rain was brewing.

It was very insecure to be with a group of escorts who transported secret escorts. Zheng Yinping walked around the side door of the Taoist Temple twice and found that there were several private rooms behind the main hall that could be occupied.

The three of them did not continue to stay in the main hall with the escort, but moved to one of the rooms that was OK. They were both more at ease if they were far away from them.

The bed must be unusable, so Li Chengqi took out a folding bed and a summer quilt from the Sumeru Realm. The three of them could sleep in shifts at night, ensuring that at least two of them were awake so they could respond quickly if anything happened.

But it was far from bedtime yet, so the three girls sat around the candles chatting.

"Sister Yang, what legend did you say about this Taoist temple?"

As they talked, the topic returned to Taoist temples.

Just when Yang Yiyi was about to say something, she was interrupted by the escort named Wang Zhen. At this time, Li Yingluo suddenly remembered and asked quickly.

Zheng Yinping's face looked a little unnatural:

"Don't say this. Talking about ghosts in the middle of the night will attract ghosts to your door."

"It's not midnight yet. Sister Yang, please tell me. I'm very curious."

Zheng Yinping said she didn't want to hear it, but she still pricked up her ears.

"This matter has to start seventy or eighty years ago."

Yang Yiyi lowered her voice and said:

"This Taoist temple was quite famous at that time. It is said that there were twenty or thirty Taoist priests living in the temple, and traveling Taoist priests often came here to stay. It was also said in the village that the gods in the Taoist temple were particularly efficacious, and many people from eight villages in ten miles came here to pray. fragrant."

"What happened next? Why was it abandoned?"

"Don't worry."

Yang Yiyi continued:

"Later I heard that the temple master had picked up a wild child from the mountains. The child had no father or mother and no one knew his name, but he was kind-hearted, talented and intelligent, and was loved by the Taoist priests. Until one day, I heard that it was a child. He fell ill and died, and everyone in the temple was sad and mourned. The viewer even fainted from crying several times, and the strange thing happened after that. "

There was a coordinated dodge from the outside, and Zheng Yinping shrank his head, not sure whether it was because of the thunder or because of the story.

"First, there were two fewer chickens raised in the Taoist temple. The Taoist priests thought they were just bitten by weasels on the mountain, so they rebuilt the chicken coop and didn't care about it. However, the chickens were still getting fewer and fewer. Finally, someone came to the back mountain. Chicken carcasses were found.”

Zheng Yinping asked nervously:

"Where was the body found in the back mountain?"

"Under a big locust tree, and not far from the big locust tree, is the grave of the wild child that the visitor picked up. There are still teeth marks on the chicken carcass. They are not from animals, but more like human teeth marks."

Li Yingluo said in surprise:

"Could it be that zombies are harming people?"

It is said that zombies are blood-sucking. When they are still weak, they will suck the blood of livestock. When they become stronger, they will eat humans.

Li Chengqi felt a sense of déjà vu when he heard this story. Then he thought about it, maybe Voldemort and the big basilisk were causing trouble...

Yang Yiyi shook her head and said:

"Later, even the two big yellow dogs raised in the gym disappeared. It took almost a month to find them. Guess where they are?"

"Where?"

"It was in the well of the Taoist temple. When it was taken out, it was all rotten. The people in the temple drank the well water for a month and didn't notice it."

It was more disgusting than scary, but Zheng Yinping seemed to be into the drama and held Li Yingluo's arm tightly.

"During that time, the face of the temple owner became paler day by day. Pilgrims who came to offer incense said that his face was withered and dead, but none of the other Taoist priests in the temple noticed it."

Zheng Yinpeng said nervously:

"Well, what then?"

"Then one day, it was also a rainy day like this. Villagers passing by the Taoist temple heard screams coming from the Taoist temple. They took a brave look and saw that the Taoist temple was full of blood and stained, like hell. Not a single living person was missing."

Just as a bolt of lightning flashed across the sky, Zheng Yinping let out a short scream and hurriedly hugged Li Yingluo, as if he was frightened.

"Later, a wandering Taoist priest came here. After hearing about this incident, he went to the temple to investigate. He said that the temple owner used evil methods to resurrect people, but something went wrong and the people were resurrected into zombies. Everyone in the temple was eaten. After that, the Taoist temple fell into disuse.”

"What about the zombies?"

"It is said that he ran into the mountains. Because he still has residual humanity, he will run back to the temple from time to time to reminisce with the ghosts of the Taoist priests who were killed by him, especially when it rains heavily. Look at the walls of the main hall, are there some dark colors? That stuff? It’s all the blood of Taoist priests.”

"Stop talking! I don't want to hear it!"

Seeing Zheng Yinping so scared, Yang Yiyi laughed and said:

"I'm lying to you. This story was spread by the villagers. The government had already posted a notice saying that the Taoist priests in the Taoist temple were smuggling illegal salt. It looked like a Taoist temple, but it was actually a illegal salt warehouse. Later, the officers and soldiers came in to arrest them. , the Taoist priests who resisted were killed, and those who did not resist were taken away and questioned. "

"Really, is it really that simple?"

"It's that simple. If it's really haunted, how could I end up here when I went to the city with my parents when I was a kid."

Zheng Yinping patted his chest and let out a long sigh of relief.

But at this moment, a scream outside the room pierced the rain curtain, and he shouted in panic:

"Ghost! There is a ghost!"

Oh ho, what did you say?
