red tomb

Who the hell is Ziyou!

This was Su You's first reaction after regaining consciousness.He grew up in the village when he was a child, and the neighbors all called him Youzi, but the other way around... Hey, who wants to be seated by himself?

Then he had to think that it might not be an accident that he had such a dream.In particular, the face of Qin Sheng in his dream was not so much like Jiang Siqi, but more like the ghost who suddenly looked for him three times a few days ago.

...Could it be that they were destined to go to Paiyun Mountain, or the other party's design?

Reminiscent of the doubts Jin Sheng said at noon, Su You climbed up carefully without making any sound.Jiang Siqi and Jin Sheng were sleeping nearby, he tiptoed past, unzipped the tent and looked out.

In the summer night in the mountains, the dew is slightly cool.Some insects chirped one after another, and the west-slanting silver moon shed a splendor.The firewood was still crackling, but no one was around.

Su Yu paused and looked down at his watch.At three o'clock in the middle of the night, Du Ying should be watching the fire.If Keren is not around, who started the fire?Did Du Ying climb back up the tree after adding more firewood?

In the middle of the night, Su You didn't want to wake everyone up with a sudden shock, so he carefully got out of the tent and looked around.The light from the campfire was limited, and he couldn't see clearly what was going on among the dense leaves.

Now that he couldn't sleep anymore, Su You simply sat down by the campfire.

Su You believed in thinking day by day and dreaming at night, because it meant that the hot spots of the brain cortex hadn't rested before going to bed.But if it is said that the dream has any foreshadowing or warning function, he does not believe it at all——

Even the stranger in the dream must have been seen by the dreamer before, but they just passed by on the road or have been too old to remember.

And Su You can swear to any god in the sky that he has never seen the classical white robe in his dream!I have never believed in any legends about becoming immortals!Not to mention automatically bringing the face of the ghost he had seen into the legend of Paiyun Mountain!

This is so unscientific!

Su You pressed his temples with a headache.He felt that the opinion of the old people who said that he had a hard character must be that the evil fate of the previous life came back in a dream...

Ah bah bah!Who has a relationship with men, no, male ghosts!

For the first time, Su Yu felt overwhelmed by his association.Then he began to recall the things since they entered the mountain, and finally felt that the most suspicious thing was not what Jin Sheng said, but another aspect——

It is said that Paiyun Mountain is full of snakes. Since they went up the mountain, they haven't even seen a snake scale?Although they all brought anti-snake medicine, it's not so thorough, right?It's not winter, where are the snakes?

"thump!"

This sound startled Su You who was thinking about it.He turned his head and happened to see Du Ying turning around from the side of the tree trunk. "You really went up?"

"The scenery up there is good." Du Ying replied.He walked to Su You and sat down, then asked, "Why are you up? It's not time yet."

Of course, Su You couldn't say that he had a weird dream, so he could only say: "I can't sleep anymore."

Du Ying nodded in understanding, and didn't ask any more questions. She just lowered her head and fiddled with the branches to make the bonfire more prosperous.

The two were silent for a while, and then Su You asked, "Is that temple on the mountain difficult to climb?"

"Be careful with the bamboo basket," Du Ying said, "but with Muhe's climbing rope, even Jiang Siqi, I can pull him up."

Thinking about Xiao Qi's small body, Su You smiled unkindly. "That's good." After a pause, he asked again: "The statue is destroyed... and there are no murals left?" He especially wanted to check what the piano saint looked like.

Du Ying shook his head. "The weight of the temple is supported by the wooden rafters nailed into the rocks of the mountain. It has been exposed to wind and rain for thousands of years. It is not bad if it has survived until now. The paint surface has all peeled off. Even if it is a stone carving, the carvings on the surface I can't see clearly."

Su Yu didn't speak, but a very regretful expression appeared on his face.

"It sounds really boring. Don't you want to go?" Du Ying misunderstood this regret. "It's quite normal. Anyway, as far as I know, no tourists have climbed it yet."

"No," Su You shook his head, and a lump had already settled in his heart, "Since we're here, it's not that we can't get up, so let's go!" He had a hunch that if he didn't settle this matter, he might be in trouble next time. I can't sleep well every night!

Du Ying nodded, and said again: "It is said that the Qin Sheng's Qin is made of Qinggang oak, and it will never rot." He shook his head while talking, "But even if the Qin is made of stone, there is only one Qin left. It looks like..."

Su Yu didn't speak, but his eyes drifted to the direction of the pothole unconsciously.

The disappearing snake?Thousand-year-old oak?Is there only Shi Qin who looks like this?The qin sage whose appearance and name are lost?

Does this have anything to do with what happened to him before?Or is he just thinking too much?

With that in mind, the remaining few hours flew by so quickly.At four o'clock, Duying's watch came, and he climbed up the tree with a yawn.Su You sat until dawn by himself, without waking up Jin Sheng and Jiang Siqi behind him.

"Damn it, Yuko, did you turn off my alarm clock?" Jin Sheng found out the problem as soon as he woke up.

"Anyway, I can't sleep." Su You replied.He stood up, "I'll go to the river to wash my face." But he had already made up his mind to find out the problems in these strange things!

Jin Sheng stood where he was, and adjusted the glasses frame suspiciously.Why did he feel that Su You was different from yesterday?

In any case, the group set off after breakfast, and then climbed up to the northern foot of Shouyangping in the time after noon.

The reason why this place is called Ping is because of the open terrain.In fact, Paiyun Mountain can almost be said to be a flat-topped mountain, if there is not a high granite peak in the middle that separates Shouyangping from the north to the south.

One advantage of the mesa is that the view is unobstructed, especially if there are no higher mountains around.Now they can not only see the whole picture of the waterfall condescendingly, but also see the double layer of the so-called triple cloud—the upper cloud layer is slightly shifted, revealing the cloud sea below, which really looks like a staircase.

"A ladder that can reach the sky?" Jiang Siqi said in amazement, "It really deserves its reputation! Take a picture, Teacher Jin, please help me!" At this time, he completely forgot who was paralyzed like mud when he touched the ground two days ago.

Jin Sheng has nothing to do with this little ancestor. "Wait, I'll adjust the aperture."

"It's strange, why are there two layers of clouds?" Mu He asked curiously.

"It's probably because of the terrain," Su You, who firmly believes in science, immediately explained, "Look, here is a hill, and there are inevitably some depressions, where water vapor will gather. The lower layer is actually more like fog, and the upper layer is clouds. "

"That's it..." Mu He suddenly realized, "You know so much!"

Jin Sheng, who was fiddling with the DSLR, couldn't help rolling his eyes in his heart while listening to this conversation.A tasteless piece of wood!No wonder I'm still single after graduation!

Su You was unaware of this slander, and only took a deep breath. "The air in the mountains is so good, there is always a fragrance."

"Really? Fragrance of flowers?" Mu Lian also interjected.

"I'm not sure, but there seems to be flowers, wood and leaves?" Su You continued to take a deep breath, "Speaking of which, it seems to have been there since entering the mountain...ah, it's so comfortable!"

He closed his eyes, naturally he didn't see Mu Lian giving Mu He a tacit wink. "You say that, it seems to be true!"

"Okay," Jin Sheng poked his head out from behind the DSLR at this moment, "It's ready, who wants to take a picture first?"

Even if Jiang Siqi is as narrow-minded as Jiang Siqi, he has already heard from the previous conversation that his brother has no thoughts about the Mu sisters, so he can't help but breathe a sigh of relief.Hearing Jin Sheng's question now, he finally thought of displaying a gentleman's demeanor: "Ladies first, which one of you will go first?"

"Of course we're together!" Mu He didn't hesitate at all, she walked forward holding Mu Lian's hand.It has to be said that beauty has an advantage, even if she is wearing a sportswear stained with leaves and mud, she can eclipse the surrounding beauty when she smiles.

They were having fun here, and Du Ying at the other end of the wooden house heard it too. "Can it work, Brother Nan?" He asked in a low voice.

"How could it not work?" Shinan carelessly piled the kitchen knives on the chopping board.On the side, there are shredded mushrooms that have been chopped, extremely thin and uniform, and pheasant meat that has been blanched.The water in the pot boiled, steaming hotly, blurring his rough face. "As long as we let them go up and meet that Shiqin, our mission will be completed."

Du Ying nodded cautiously, his attitude seemed to be another person. "I feel like they've grown suspicious."

"From the moment they entered the mountain, no one they encountered was alive!" Shinan grinned, "Can they think of this? No matter how hard they suspect it, right?" He also looked in the direction of Su You and the others. Look, he said again: "The person with more is also interesting."

This is to say that it is Jin Sheng. "He scared away all the snakes in our place. Fortunately, he didn't realize this." Du Ying said, "But then again, it's impossible for ordinary people to get along with...so well."

"That's right!" Shinan agreed, tacitly knowing the character pronouns that Du Ying skipped, "After a thousand years of reincarnation, the evil spirit is still so strong, it's like ghosts and gods. I don't know that year..." He seemed to be lost in memory, trembling unconsciously down.

"Tongzi made a lot of noise and wanted to see it, but if he was really asked to go, he didn't dare." Du Ying was still looking outside, not paying attention to Shinan's reaction.

Shinan came back to her senses, and was shocked: "He's still inexperienced, get too close, be careful he'll be blown away!"

"Our current situation is not much better." Du Ying said with a slightly bitter voice.

"But there is still hope!" Shinan emphasized, but he himself did not have enough confidence, "We can't give up at the last moment!"

Du Ying was silent for a while. "You're right. You'll see a little bit of success or failure after tonight... Now, just do what you need to do."

"...Du Ying, Du Ying! Do you want to take a photo together?" Several people shouted from afar. "Call you Brother Nan!"

The two looked at each other, Shinan tilted her head, indicating that she wanted to watch the pot, while Du Ying walked over.Several people were looking at him, and he was facing the sun, squinting at Jiang Siqi——

Is such a weak person really that person?

The author has something to say: not a living person, nor a traditional ghost~

Chapter 10 A few people from Mizong Temple had lunch, took a short rest, and then headed towards the Qin Temple on Shifeng non-stop.

As Du Ying said, the temple is not big, and looking up from the bottom of the cliff, it is simply an untouchable suspended castle.Although it seems that they are only five or sixty meters away from where they are standing, the longitudinal height and level are completely different, especially when the slope of the stone slope is almost vertical.

"It's really tall..." Jiang Siqi said, retreating a little.Just kidding, the building is more than ten stories high, and the wooden rafters under the temple look crumbling... "Is it too late for me to say I'm afraid of heights?"

"Don't be funny, you're still saying such frustrating words when you're already here!" Su You put one hand on his shoulder, "Du Ying go up first, tie the rope, then Jin Sheng, and then you. I'll watch from below and make sure nothing goes wrong." ,Um?"

Du Ying had already wrapped a climbing rope around his waist. "I'm fine. By the time Jin Sheng climbs up, Mulian Muhe should have already arrived, and one of the four will be there." He looked at Jiang Siqi, "Are you still afraid?"

It's okay not to mention the Mu family sisters, but if it is mentioned, it seems that men are inferior to women.Jiang Siqi pouted, "Oh." He was sure now that the biggest disaster of his trip this time was that he had two sisters as his comparison!

Su You could understand this little temper, and he couldn't help laughing.

Apart from this small episode, the only accident in the following process was that Jiang Siqi accidentally chose the wrong place to land and stepped on a small piece of gravel.Fortunately, Su You, who was at the bottom, dodged quickly with sharp eyesight, and Mu Lian, who was climbing, was a few meters away, so there was no danger.After everyone went up at last, more than an hour had passed.

Although it looks like a dilapidated building that has not been demolished, when the soles of your feet really touch the wooden floor of the Qin Temple, you will know that it is an illusion of the eyes.

"Wow, it's amazing!" Mu He praised, and at the same time looked down curiously, "There are only stone walls around, how did people build it in the past?"

Su You opened his mouth, and immediately proposed several possible designs from the aspects of physics and construction engineering.He thinks that the most likely way is to climb from the southern foot to the top of the pinnacle, and then install a pulley on the top and hang the wood with a rope.

This time even Du Ying looked at Su You in surprise. "It is indeed easier to climb in the south," he looked to the top, "and there are a few old pine trees on it, which can be used for strength!"

Several people discussed a few more words, and then prepared to enter the door.

Because it was built on the mountain wall, the gate faces the side.On the long side of the wall, one side is rocky, and the other side faces the North Shouyang Screen they climbed up.There is a plaque on the lintel, but the paint has long since peeled off, exposing the mottled wood inside.The gate is the same, there are still a few protruding round-headed wooden nails left on it, together with two semi-weathered gatekeeper stone carvings on the left and right, showing the grandeur of the year.

"This wood is stronger than stone!" Jiang Siqi suddenly discovered the New World. "I can't even see the shape of the stone carvings, but the wooden temple is still here!"

"Yes, we guess that when people built this temple back then, they must have treated the wood in a special way." Du Ying said, and walked forward first.The door was originally ajar, but now he pushed it lightly, and it opened immediately with only an extremely slight sound.

This time even Jin Sheng found it strange. "It doesn't make sense, it's impossible!" He walked in after Du Ying, and the first thing he did was to study the door hinge. "What about friction? Has it been eaten back by Newton?"

"Ahem, I'm sorry, he has an occupational disease." Seeing Mu Lian and Mu He's expressions of "this person's focus is all wrong", Su You explained with a dry smile, and then entered the door.

From the outside, the temple looks small, but there is nothing inside, so it feels very empty.Because of this, Su You saw the stone statue and Shiqin mentioned by Du Ying at a glance.

Like the stone sculpture in front of the door, the surface of the head of the stone statue is weathered, and the facial features cannot be seen clearly at all.The texture of the clothes barely remains, and it can be guessed that what was carved before is a fluttering robe.

Su You circled around the two things in the center a few times, and his heart skipped a beat.This dress... seems to be the white robe in his dream!

"Why are there so few things?" Jiang Siqi entered the door after Su You, and had already looked around at this time, and was sure that there was nothing in the temple except the statue in the middle and the Shiqin. "There is not even a symbol left on the stone wall, and there is no platform for offering incense. What is this temple built for? It looks good?"

"If you want incense, you won't cultivate it in such a place, right?" Mu Lian stepped forward and stood beside Shi Qin.

"Then there must be a reason?" Jiang Siqi continued to wonder.

Du Ying and Jin Sheng were studying the door hinges together, but at this moment, they also came over when they heard the words. "There is incense," he said, and then pushed open the window facing outside, "it's right below."

Su You was originally standing on the ground between the stone statue and the window. At this time, he took a step outside and saw what Du Ying said - when they came up, the hole left by the oak tree was on the right; But from this position, it was right!He looked back at the stone statue again, only to realize that the front face of the stone statue should be facing the window and the side facing the gate.

"I see..." he murmured.Although there are still problems that have not been resolved, the relationship between Qinggangli and Qinsheng is already on the verge of coming out!

After Du Ying said so, Mu Lian and Mu He came over curiously.Jin Sheng continued to focus on the door hinge as an experimental research, while Jiang Siqi was a little afraid of heights and was still looking at the statue. "This is really strange," he muttered, "The wood is still strong, but the stone is almost completely destroyed." He reached out and touched the stone in front of him, which should be a zither, "It doesn't feel cold... "

Almost in the next moment, Du Ying, Mu He, and Mu Lian turned their heads and stared at his hand.

"...What's the matter?" Jiang Siqi was bathed in Liu Dao's gaze, and suddenly felt that he had done something heinous, and shrank back like an electric shock, "Can't touch it?"

"No," Du Ying replied, trying to restrain the churning emotions in his heart, "isn't it cool?"

"Yeah, it doesn't look like a stone at all, it looks like something else." Jiang Siqi felt relieved, "The feeling of wood?"

Hearing this, Su You walked back and touched it. "What, it's obviously a stone! It's chilly!"

"That's probably due to the difference in personal feelings." Jiang Siqi didn't care, and turned to call Jin Sheng. "Hey, Teacher Jin, when do you plan to see that door?"

Since there was really nothing to see in the temple, within half an hour after the few people climbed up the ropes, they all fell down again, almost in time for dinner.Heather's cooking skills are also very commendable, and then everyone gathered around the campfire to discuss the next arrangement.

The Mu family sisters planned to turn over the stone peak at the northern foot the next morning, and then descend the mountain at the southern foot.On the other hand, among the three of Su You, there was only one Jin Sheng who had learned rock climbing. Of course, it was impossible for them to go together, so they could only part ways with regret.

Because there are wooden houses for tourists on the top of the mountain, the vigil can be exempted.Du Ying and Shinan shared a house, the Mu sisters shared a house, and Su You shared a house with the three of them.

Jiang Siqi was quite pleased with this. "Finally I can sleep soundly!" As a person who gets up very angry, he has every reason to express this feeling.

"Yes." Du Ying echoed.But in fact, he knew that this night was destined to be impossible to be peaceful.

It's night, the full moon hangs high.

Probably because of thinking too much during the day, Su You lay on the bed without falling asleep for most of the day.The weird feeling in his heart was getting heavier and heavier, but he couldn't catch any signs of certainty.

"Well……"

Jin Sheng turned over and snored slowly.

Su Yu was speechless for a moment.Jin Sheng, a jerk, raised his doubts, but he slept soundly?Well, sleep properly!

While half asleep and half awake, Su You vaguely heard the voice of someone beside him getting up.He knew it was Jiang Siqi by hearing the movement, he didn't pay much attention, he just thought that the other party went out to release water in the middle of the night.But when he woke up from a nap, he found that the bed next to him was still empty.

...Which kind of water is this? Could something have happened?

Su Yu suddenly woke up.He immediately turned over and got up, and opened the door with his slippers on.

The night wind was icy cold, pouring directly into the man's neck.Su You shivered a lot, picked up a high-power flashlight from the shelf by the door, and looked around.In the end, not to mention people, not even a ghost!

"Xiao Qi? Xiao Qi!"

Su You panicked, ignoring the silence of the night, shouted loudly, and rushed down the wooden ladder in front of the door at the same time.Xiao Qi is always at ease, how could he walk around in the mountains in the middle of the night?

It was Jin Sheng who answered his shout first. "What's wrong?" He also ran out wearing only slippers, "Yuki, Xiao Qi is gone?"

Su You briefly explained what happened just now, and Jin Sheng was taken aback. "Could he be on the tuba?"

"Even if it is, it's time to say something!" Su You was in a hurry. "He's not in the toilet, I walked around the house too!"

Jin Shengdun was overwhelmed. "Why? Wait for me to help you find it!" He went back to the house to get another flashlight, and when he came out, his brows tightened: "I've checked, Xiao Qi didn't bring anything, so where would he go? "

With such a big commotion between the two, the people in the other two rooms were also alarmed.And after knowing what happened, everyone immediately copied the guy and looked for someone together.But Jiang Siqi didn't even bring his watch with GPS positioning function, so they could only do a blanket search.

Fortunately, the view from the top of Shouyang Screen is wide, and the six people searched it quickly, but found nothing.

"He's not going down the mountain, is he?" Jin Sheng guessed, his brows furrowed.

"It's also possible to go up?" Mu He said.

"How is it possible to go up, Xiao Qi..." Su Youzheng wanted to say that Jiang Siqi was a little afraid of heights, and it was impossible for him to climb up the cliff by himself, but when he swung his flashlight to the top temple, he vaguely saw a dark shadow flashed by. "There's someone up there!" he exclaimed.
