Chapter 46 [046] Buddhist Temple shelters from the rain
There are many mountains and rivers in Yunze Prefecture, and the climate is most cloudy and sunny.
Sometimes you are walking on a dry road with one foot, and the sky will pour downpour on the next foot. After you spend a lot of time and find a place to hide from the rain, the sky may turn out to be sunny again.
Boom!
Dark clouds gathered, and even the blowing wind became much stronger.
As a purple lightning flashed in the largest cloud, an astonishing thunder sounded in the sky.
The frightened horse called out, and even the pace was a lot flustered.
"Miss, we have already entered the boundary of Yunze Prefecture. Seeing that it is about to rain heavily today, we must quickly find a place to avoid. The rainstorm in Yunze Prefecture is not easy to get wet, and a hard-hitting man will have typhoid fever for several days. "
A well-dressed man walked to the window of the carriage and said, and the head of the woman in the green skirt poked out of it: "Since the construction of the official road, this old road has not been walked for many years, and I don't know if there is any shelter from the rain. place, have you sent someone to look for it nearby?"
The big man in strong suit nodded and said, "I have already sent a few brothers in the line to go ahead and look for it, and they will come back as soon as they find it."
The woman in the blue skirt said: "Okay, let's speed up your pace. If you really can't find a place to shelter from the rain, put on the cloaks and hats prepared in advance, and let's get less rain."
"Miss, there are dozens of waterproof animal skins on a carriage, which were put on by the master before he left." Inside the carriage, the maid Xiaochan reminded.
The woman in the blue skirt turned back and smiled: "Fortunately, you reminded me, I almost forgot about it."
At this moment, several figures appeared on the road ahead, accompanied by the sound of hurried horse hooves.
The guards of the Li family caravan looked closely, and the person who came was not the brother who went out to find a shelter from the rain.
These people rode their horses directly to the carriage where the woman in the blue skirt was, panting: "Miss, we found that there is a temple on the hillside next to the road three miles ahead, which can shelter from the rain."
As soon as this news came out, the faces of the guards around the Li family all showed happy expressions.
No one wants to get wet in the rain on the boundary of Yunze Prefecture. Even if they are protected by a cloak and a bucket hat, it is easy to die.
The caravan speeded up and quickly arrived at the temple.
As the guards who went out to explore the road said, there is really a large-scale Buddhist temple on the hillside. To get to this Buddhist temple, you need to go around the dirt road on the hillside.
The dirt road is narrow and rotten, which is really a big test for the carriage.
But fortunately, the grooms of the Li family caravan were skilled, and finally all the caravan came to the door of the Buddhist temple.
Withered vines surrounded the wall, broken tiles and doors and bricks leaked.
Two stone statues of the door gods with their heads split in half stand on both sides of the temple gate, the old and decayed temple gates, and the temple name plaques with worn-out handwriting.
An air of desolation and antiquity can not help but blow towards the face. Obviously, this is an abandoned ancient temple that has been abandoned for many years and has not been repaired.
"Miss, this place... do we still need shelter from the rain?" Xiaochan was a little scared and couldn't help but ask.
Everyone knows that there are many evil spirits in the wild, and the temples and temples that have been abandoned for a long time are the most hidden places for evil spirits.
Except for those heroes who have some means to slay demons and exterminate demons and some desperadoes who are not afraid of death, almost no ordinary people dare to sleep in this abandoned place.
If it didn't rain, the temporary stop of the Li Family Caravan would be in Shenjia Town, which is forty miles away. There was a clan master of the eighth rank of music and discipline sitting there.
But now, it is obvious that it is impossible to reach Shenjia Town before the rainstorm.
For a while, the woman in the blue skirt felt a little regretful that she didn't have the opportunity to walk with the four Demon Demon Captains a few days ago. Otherwise, if the Demon Demon Demon Captain was present at the moment, why should you worry about this kind of problem.
This time, the Li family caravan is going to transport the goods to a long distance, and the itinerary is relatively tight, so there should not be too much delay on the way.
After the torrential rain in Yunze Prefecture, it would be troublesome if one of the guards caught the wind and cold, which would greatly affect the progress of the journey.
and abandoning the guards with wind chills will bring the caravan's defensive power.
So at this time, the woman in the blue skirt has no reason to reject the ready-made shelter in front of her.
"Take out the evil-killing magic weapons that you have prepared, everyone will take one and carry it with you. Be cautious and don't take it lightly. We will stay here and leave until the rain is weak," said the woman in the blue skirt.
"Yes."
Immediately, a guard removed a large wooden box from a carriage. As the group opened it, they immediately saw a lot of gossip plates, copper money swords, peach wood swords, talisman bronze mirrors, Buddha statues, Buddhist beads, etc. in the box. Wait.
is a variety of magical instruments, which the Li family spent a lot of money to beg from various well-known sects, and has the effect of exorcising evil spirits.
After each guard had a magic weapon, his heart suddenly became calmer.
There are a lot of people here. If they really encounter some evil spirits, it is not without the opportunity to compete with them by relying on this pile of magic tools.
Click!
As the two guards stepped forward and pushed open the door, with a harsh rubbing sound, the scene of the Buddhist temple behind the door slowly came into everyone's eyes.
Overgrown with weeds, stone lanterns fell to the ground, and ancient temples were incomplete, showing a desolate and bleak scene.
On the walls of the temple, there are painted murals with different scenes and many figures.
Even though it has been in disrepair for many years, these frescoes are still quite intact and exquisite, which has to be secretly surprising.
drove several carriages into the Buddhist temple one after another, and stopped at a corridor with a well-covered roof.
Not long after, there were thunderstorms in the sky, and with the sound of water, the rainstorm from Yunze Prefecture finally started pouring down.
In just a few breaths, the rain curtain was so dense that people could not see five steps away at all. The rain splashed on the ground in the temple, and it could splash as high as a person.
It is enough to see how terrifying this menacing rainstorm is.
"Fortunately, there is a place to stay to shelter from the rain. Even with this amount of rain, even if there is a cloak and a hat, most people will probably have to use it after it gets drenched."
"It's really lucky, thank Amitabha Buddha for giving us a place to shelter from the rain."
"But I'm a little puzzled now. How could such a good Buddhist temple be abandoned like this? By the way, who of you have walked this old road before, who knows what the name of this Buddhist temple is."
All the guards who were standing under the eaves to avoid the rain were all at a loss, shaking their heads and saying they didn't know.
Only an old guard in his fifties looked thoughtful, as if he knew something, but couldn't remember it for a while.
But no one noticed his appearance, everyone's eyes were attracted by the heavy rain outside the eaves.
The rainfall in Yunzezhou has been huge since ancient times, and sometimes the rain is so heavy that some poorly constructed houses can be directly washed away.
Therefore, there is a saying that "the black cloud turns over the ink to cover the sky, and the white rain jumps into the cloud."
"It's raining heavily. It looks like it won't stop for a while. I hope the rain will be less when the sun goes down, so that we can continue on the road. I don't want to spend the night in such a place." A guard whispered.
The sunset is on the west mountain, and the sky is getting late.
The rain still did not weaken. When the last bit of light disappeared on the eaves of the temple eaves, night officially came.
crackling!
In the Daxiong Hall, the dry wood and dry grass collected by the people from all over the Buddhist temple are burning in the fire.
Everyone knows that it is impossible to go on the road at this time. It is better to burn a bonfire and make a bonfire, and rely on the light to make oneself feel more at ease.
"The night is divided into three groups of people to keep vigil, each group of people will keep watch for an hour, and the scope of activities is limited to this hall. No one is allowed to go out without permission. No matter where they go, they must call at least five brothers to accompany them, even if It is convenient in size, and you can do this kind of thing at the door, don’t run too far, everyone knows the reason, be smarter yourself.” The commander of the caravan stood by the bonfire and said to all the guards.
Since being forced to fall here, it is already beyond our control, so there is no need to complain anymore, just do your duty now.
This point is clear to everyone present who often travels from south to north.
As the eldest lady of the Li family, the woman in the green skirt does not need to watch the night, and as her personal maid, Xiao Chan, who takes care of her daily life, does not have to join the night watch assignment.
After all, everyone is a big man, and it is not bad for such a little girl to help.
Distributed dry food and water. Those who were vigilants in the second half of the night lay on the ground and started to sleep, while the guards who were vigilants in the first half of the night picked up magic weapons and weapons and began to patrol and inspect the various places in the Daxiong Palace.
Silence, sleepiness, sleep.
The sound of rain outside the hall, and the fire inside the hall.
"what!!"
I don't know when, when a scream suddenly sounded in the hall, and all the people who were sleeping were awakened from their dreams, and immediately got up from the ground and looked around nervously.
"What happened? Who happened?"
"I don't know, who is watching the night now to see if any brothers are missing."
The woman in the blue skirt stood by the bonfire with a serious expression, although there was still some sleepiness in her eyes.
But at this moment, until the situation is clear, no one dares to sleep anymore.
"Miss, there is blood on the wall on the other side of the hall. The three brothers on our side have disappeared."
After the caravan leader got to know the situation, he immediately came over to report to the girl in the blue skirt.
"This…"
Hearing this news, the hearts of the guards nearby were instantly chilled, and everyone knew exactly what was going on.
is definitely evil! If they still stay in this hall, maybe they will end up with the missing three people.
But at this time, the rain outside the temple is still not small, and if you choose to leave the temple at this time, the form is probably more dangerous.
Just when the woman in the green skirt was hesitating, someone suddenly pointed at the white wall of the hall not far away, which was reflected by the firelight and exclaimed: "What is that?!"
When everyone heard the sound, they turned their heads to look.
Immediately saw that on the white wall, a large number of figures that looked like living creatures danced on the surface of the white wall.
Among them, the movements of three figures were extremely abrupt.
They kept waving their arms and hitting the wall with their fists, completely ignoring the obstructions of other figures around them.
It was like... they were trying to escape from the wall.
At this moment, there was a rumbling vibration in the hall.
Everyone glanced at the past, looking at the source of the vibration, and their expressions suddenly changed.
Fright, shocked, surprised and other expressions all appeared on their faces.
"Do not!!"
