across mountains and seas

Dusk is approaching, and the evening wind after autumn is slightly cool, especially after entering the mountains, the cold wind is expected to be cold, and you can only feel cool.

The farther you go into the belly of the Great Barren Mountain, the more luxuriant the ancient trees on the mountain path, and the dark canopy almost completely blocks the moonlight on the top.Occasionally, a ray of moonlight fell from the gaps in the trees, shining on the gravel road under the feet. At first glance, several places where the moonlight fell seemed to fall on the terrifying beast's mouth under the feet.

Liu Xi and Jing Lan stopped and bent over to examine the gravel carefully.

It doesn't seem like the road under your feet was originally paved with stone bricks carved with animal heads, but it's been a long time ago, and now most of them have been broken, and they are no longer recognizable.

Liu Xi looked at her sideways, "Alan, do you think these carvings look familiar?" She only felt familiar, but couldn't remember where she saw them for a while.

Jing Lan also looked familiar. After thinking about it for a while, he suddenly thought of something, and blurted out: "Hailongling?!"

Liu Xi was shocked, followed by full of doubts.

Most of the carvings in Hailong Mausoleum were made by Princess Ye 200 years ago. Princess Ye has been building the mausoleum to sleep with her sweetheart for a hundred years. How could the same group of craftsmen pave a mountain path in the Dahuang Mountains of Linhai Nine Counties?

According to legend, the Temple of Death in this mass grave was built by a monk. What does this person have to do with Princess Ye?

Things must not be that simple.

Liu Xi said in a deep voice: "Alan, I want to find out the bottom of this Temple of Death."

"I will accompany you in the mountains of swords and seas of fire, but there is one thing you must promise me." Jing Lan looked at her seriously, and said solemnly, "Don't show off!"

Liu Xi nodded with a smile, "Of course I want to listen to the young master's words."

"Don't just talk." Jing Lan emphasized again.

"Yes, yes, yes, as ordered." Liu Xi smiled warmly.

Jing Lan turned her face away, looked at Shen Jiangli who was motionless beside her, "Miss Shen, what's wrong?"

Shen Jiangli moved his nose slightly, and raised his finger to the end of the mountain path, "Corpse, smelly." She was born like a paper doll, and Jing Lan and Liu Xi couldn't help getting a little hairy when she said this suddenly and coldly in this kind of place.

"Entering the forest, let's carefully go around and have a look."

"it is good!"

The three of them stepped into the dense forest by the side of the mountain path, deliberately took their steps lightly, and approached the end of the mountain path carefully.

The mass burial mound is originally a ghostly place in the world, and occasionally black crows would chatter and fly by, rushing into the forest and making a rustling sound.There are many footprints of wild animals here, presumably all the wild animals in the mountain know that there will be carrion to eat here.

At the entrance of the mass grave, there were two stone beasts—the heads of the stone beasts had been eroded beyond recognition by the wind and rain, but judging from the shape of the beast claws, there should have been two stone unicorns here.

Qilin guards the pass, which should have been regulated by the prince's mausoleum.

Liuxi took a look at the mountain-shaped galaxy here by the moonlight. The mountains are undulating and do not embrace each other. They neither hide the wind nor absorb the water. If there are really princes buried here, after many years, this place will become a mass burial again. Gang, that is a very dangerous cave.Even if there are descendants, I'm afraid they will lose their children and grandchildren.

Perhaps, this mausoleum was destroyed early, so it has been regarded as a mass grave by the nearby people for hundreds of years.

"Hailong Mausoleum was first the tomb of the island owner on Penglai Luo Island." Jing Lan seemed to have thought of something, "Later, after Ye Lingshuang occupied Penglai Luo Island, the mausoleum was built based on the original regulations of Hailong Mausoleum."

"What does Ah Lan mean?" Liu Xi asked.

"Perhaps the brick and stone carvings we saw are the original brick and stone carvings of Hailong Mausoleum." Jing Lan gently stroked the wind erosion marks on the stone unicorn, "Without thousands of years of wind erosion, this stone unicorn would not be so brittle." As she spoke, she tapped hard with her fingers, and Shi Qilin's foot broke in two.

"I think, Ye Lingshuang was completely hopeless at the time, and she definitely wanted to return to the acupuncture point with Yin Xuanqing as soon as possible. Apart from increasing the number of organs, she would not waste time and effort building Hailong Mausoleum." Looking at Liuxi, "If the original Hailong Mausoleum was built by the same group of craftsmen as here, and if one or two tombs can still be preserved here, it must be themed with 'mirror'."

It was the first time for Shen Jiangli to hear the names of Ye Lingshuang and Yin Xuanqing. She was extremely curious, and looked at Jing Lan with her head tilted, "Who, who?"

"Miss Shen, I'll tell you when I get back." Jing Lan promised.

Shen Jiangli nodded, as if thinking of something, said solemnly: "No, call." Pointing to himself.

"Huh? What's your name?" Jing Lan didn't understand.

Liu Xi understood, she said with a smile: "Alan, my sister doesn't like you and still calls her Miss Shen." As she said that, she touched the back of Shen Jiangli's head, "But you think it looks strange?"

Shen Jiangli nodded with a smile, "Born, divided!"

Jing Lan smiled wryly, "Then what should I call you?"

Shen Jiangli blinked triumphantly, "Sister, sister."

"..." Jing Lan twitched her lips, "What if I don't want to scream?"

Shen Jiangli seemed annoyed, wrapped his fists with the corner of his sleeves, and tapped Jing Lan on the forehead, "Hit, you." After finishing speaking, she whispered to Liu Xi hastily, "Light, light. "

Liu Xi suppressed a smile, "It's really time to hit." As she spoke, she gently rubbed Jing Lan's forehead, "It's a good thing to have a sweeter mouth, and Ah Lan should learn these things hard."

What else can I refute?

One of the two elder sisters played a bad face and the other a red face, no matter how stubborn Jing Lan was, she had no choice but to admit it.

"Is it okay if I shout?" Jing Lan opened her mouth and called out in a very low voice, "Sister Shen."

Shen Jiangli was very happy, and like Liu Xi, he pinched the corner of his sleeve and wiped Jing Lan's forehead, "Little, five."

"You..." Jing Lan's eyes widened before she could refute.

Liu Xi pinched her arm and exerted a little force, "It's important." After finishing speaking, she quietly gave Shen Jiangli a thumbs up.

Jing Lan is not a stingy person, she is already younger than Shen Jiangli, so if she calls Xiao Wu, she will be Xiao Wu, and she will explain it to her on the way back—calling her Xiao Wu, Shen Jiangli will be the one who suffers , unless he soon became her new sister-in-law, that's another matter.

"Feng Shui is not good, beware of dead bodies, you and I have to be careful." Liu Xi finished speaking in a deep voice, and glanced at the sky. It was almost midnight, and it was the time when the yin was at its heaviest.

She couldn't help but took a deep breath, secretly emboldened herself.

Originally, it would be best to light a torch and walk in, but if there were guards guarding the rice inside, lighting a torch would be a living target for yourself, and it would be too easy to alarm the people inside.

The three of them avoided the gravel road leading directly to the depths of the mass grave, stepped on the smelly putrid mud, hid in the shadow cast by the tree canopy, and carefully detoured.

Fortunately, this mass burial mound is not too big. After walking for a while, I saw two faint blue lights floating under the eaves of the dilapidated temple gate.

Inside the gate of the temple, a bonfire was burning ragingly. Because of the mass graves nearby, the color of the bonfire was also a bit bluish.

There is a bonfire here, but no one is on guard?

Just when Jing Lan and Liu Xi became suspicious, they suddenly heard a bell ringing in the depths of the Temple of Rebirth.

"Boom-"

The bell rang for a long time, and the ear drums were numb.

The copper bell will not ring for no reason, and there are indeed people inside.

As long as there are statues of Bodhisattvas in the temple, it is expected that the lonely and wild ghosts in this mass grave will not dare to approach rashly.

After hearing the bell, Jing Lan felt much more at ease.

Liu Xi quietly reached out and took Jing Lan's hand.

again.

Jing Lan sighed slightly, but allowed her to hold her hand, presumably Liu Xi was also scared, she didn't say much, but just tightened her fingers to signal Liu Xi not to be afraid.

Liu Xi also tightened her fingers, and the corner of her mouth couldn't help but a smug smile.

The three of them approached the gate of Xiangsheng Temple lightly, and when they reached the gate of the temple, they suddenly heard footsteps coming from the temple.The three squatted under the wall in unison, holding their breath, listening to the movement inside.

"Why can't you resist ringing the bell again?"

"Brother, it's really too gloomy here, let's knock it out and feel more at ease."

"There is still a Bodhisattva in this hall! Which ghost do you see dare to come in?"

"I'm just afraid."

"Wow!"

"Brother, walk slowly! Don't leave me alone!"

As the two talked, they walked out of the hall. It turned out to be two sturdy men in their twenties.

One was full of fear, and the other was full of flesh. The two leaned closer to the campfire and warmed their hands, feeling warm immediately.

The timid man glanced at the outside of the temple, shrank his body, and whispered: "Brother, why did you choose this place to store grain?"

"Mr. has never missed anything. Why are you asking so many questions?" The savage man glared at his younger brother, "Why are you so useless, brother brought you here to make a fortune, look at you, if you are afraid, Just go back to the village, you deserve to be a poor bachelor all your life!"

The timid man hurriedly grabbed his brother, "Brother, don't do this, I'll take it easy."

"You are not allowed to ring that bronze bell again!" the savage man warned his younger brother, "Don't scare the ghost away, but attract people here. If you can't keep the rice inside, you and I will lose our heads!"

"I won't knock anymore, I won't knock any more." The timid man strengthened his courage, and seemed to slow down a bit.

Jing Lan and Liu Xi exchanged glances. Who was the "Mr." they were talking about, and they couldn't guess which character it was for a while?But one thing is certain, there are only these two guards in the temple tonight.

To be able to safely hand over so much rice to two men who don't seem to be experts, there must be other institutions in this temple.Perhaps, this mausoleum has been emptied long ago, but the person who emptied it intentionally left the mechanism inside. In this way, this tomb has become an excellent granary.

There is no way to hide like this all the time. If someone comes again in the middle of the night, then everything will be passive.

Jing Lan and Liu Xi glanced at each other, and at the same time looked at Shen Jiangli who was on the side.

Shen Jiangli blinked.

Liu Xi said with her lips: "Pretending to be a ghost."

Shen Jiangli became interested, she nodded happily, wiped off the redness on her lips, revealing the original black color, and rolled her eyes on purpose.

Not to mention the two inside, even Jing Lan and Liu Xi felt quite like a zombie girl.

"whee."

Shen Jiangli laughed out loud, and the two men by the campfire couldn't help shrinking their necks.

The timid man tremblingly grabbed the hand of the savage man, "Brother! Did you hear that?"

The savage man pretended to be calm, "No! I didn't hear anything!"

Shen Jiangli jumped out from behind the wall, stood quietly in front of the temple gate with his head down, and slowly raised his arms towards the two men.

Just at this time, a black crow happened to fly by under the eaves of the temple, making a mournful cry.

"Oh my God!"

"There are... Zombies!"

The author has something to say: more text~Ms. Shen has completely released her nature~
