Chapter 59 Reappearance (4)
"I didn't expect anything?" Hao Jianren looked serious, because he was nervous because Chu Sheng's strange words.
"I didn't expect that in the temple at that time, there was no sign of a person, and red lanterns were everywhere." Chu Sheng frowned and recalled. "I used to be a good-thinking person and remembered a lot of things. After a while, I found the room, but the layout inside was a little different from what we had just left. After I found the wallet, I noticed something was wrong, so I quickly ran back."
As for why Chu Sheng didn't say the middle section, he was also worried.
"No one...is impossible, could it be said..." Suddenly, Hao Jianren seemed to remember something and quickly said it, "Does he say that after night there, he will no longer pick up customers? Then if you haven't been back, how can you enter..."
"This is a matter aside." Chu Sheng also stopped him from continuing, "Don't think too much, let's go to Liuyun Temple to ask."
When Hao Jianren heard Chu Sheng’s answer, he felt something was right and nodded.
At this point, the two of them did not discuss it again, but just sat in their respective positions, thinking about what was happening in their hearts.
At this moment, outside the car window was having fun and shopping at night, and various stalls were also out of the street. After the car drove past, the bus no longer had this lively scene after leaving the city. It was surrounded by lonely woods and shadows printed on the ground.
The weather was clear today, and there were no clouds shining in the sky at night. With the light source, the carriage soon arrived at the Liuyun Temple where they had visited before.
Liuyun Temple stands quietly in a forest as usual, with lush bamboo forests on both sides.
There were several carriages parked in front of the temple. Apart from the dozing groom, there were no other figures in the carriage.
Wow ~
There were two red lanterns hanging in front of the car. Suddenly, two strange men in the carriage walked down. Under the guidance of the driver, they quickly entered the temple. Chu Sheng and the others followed them and walked in.
"Yo... Mr. Hao, I haven't seen you for a few days. I see you're a lot rosy again." It was the last time the woman walked up towards her with a round fan. "Did those girls satisfy you last time? If I feel that it's okay, I will ask them to come up and accompany the two young masters first."
Hao Jianren suddenly stopped walking in front, turned around and looked serious, facing the woman.
"I came today, mainly because I wanted to ask, the friend I brought yesterday, the young man named Huang Jincheng, didn't he drink too much that night and stayed here last night?"
The woman walking behind also stopped and slowly told the situation last night under Chu Sheng's eyes.
"So that's how it is, but later I was feeding Mr. Huang's rescue soup, and after a while I woke up.
After waking up, Mr. Huang saw that you had left first, and asked us about the time. He found that it was just past the closing time, so he asked us to call a carriage for him and said he wanted to go home to sleep.
He was also our last customer at that time. After sending Mr. Huang into the car, we immediately closed the door and prepared to rest."
"I have another question. After closing, will there be that kind of red lantern hanging in front of your temple door?" Chu Sheng asked.
"What kind of red lantern is the young master talking about?" The woman looked puzzled. "We always turn off the lights and rest every night after closing, and we never hang any red lanterns. After we rest, we will have two gatekeepers who are guarding the door. They are also for some customers to fall down and come back to find them, so that they can open the door."
"You have someone on duty every night? And you have never missed it once?" Chu Sheng's heart tightened.
"Yes, we have people at night behind the door every night. As long as someone knocks on the door or shouts outside the door, they can be heard." The woman glanced at Chu Sheng with some confusion.
Chu Sheng seemed to have an answer in his heart at this moment. Huang Jincheng must have returned to the temple halfway and entered the temple like him, but how he entered it is unknown.
"Is this your temple the only place in your place? There is no other kind of wilderness temple that is not much different from you, and there are red lanterns hanging in front of the door?" Chu Sheng still did not give up and continued to ask.
The woman standing next to Chu Sheng covered her mouth with a round fan and lowered her eyelids and thought for a while.
"I wonder where Mr. Chu Sheng came from, and I heard that there is a wilderness mountain temple nearby?
You may not know that there is a different custom on our side.
That is to say, if a large number of people die in a place, red lanterns will be hung in that place to comfort those who have died.
But it only hangs in front of the door, such as the gates of temples or courtyards, and they usually don’t hang them.”
When Chu Sheng heard this, a cold air suddenly rushed straight from behind his forehead, causing his body to shake.
He remembered the strange temple a few days ago, the unopened gate, the abandoned courtyard, and the red lanterns hanging in front of the room.
The situation inside is basically exactly the same as what the woman said. Even the layout of the open door is different from before.
only....
"Young Master, you haven't been there, right? It's so weird. I heard that there are some dirty things in it. If you get entangled, you might..." The woman also had a look of panic on her face at this moment, and cold sweat broke out on her palms.
"Brother Chu...was it the hallucination you had caused when you drank too much before?" Hao Jianren also looked at Chu Sheng with some concern.
Because he and Chu Sheng drank a lot that time, they were already drunk and confused at that time. How could they come back to find a wallet?
"Well... maybe I got it wrong..." Chu Sheng paused for a moment and did not tell the story of the Wuren Temple he encountered. Because he had never contacted people from another world, he might not believe it if you told him the truth. Instead, he would reveal many of Chu Sheng's own secrets.
"So that's the case, where did Huang Jincheng go while sitting in the carriage?" Hao Jianren was a little worried, "I'm going to have a small contest soon. If I see Uncle Huang, I don't know how to answer if I smell it."
"Do you two young men have to book a private room today and listen to some elegant songs? There are a few girls who have just come from a remote town, and they are still good at giving birth." The madam saw that Chu Sheng asked, and immediately started selling her business.
"Okay, I'm familiar with the road nearby. You can go down first. Take this little silver to reward you." Hao Jianren took out a few taels of silver from his waist and stuffed it into her arms.
"That little girl, thank you two young masters first, I will leave here first." The madam happily carried the money in her arms and was about to turn around and leave. "By the way, two young masters, little girl, I had just come here, a horror legend was circulating nearby, but it was also heard from a local old farmer who delivered vegetables.
It seems that it is a temple on this mountain before. It is a little lost in its name. It seems to be called Huaiyuan Temple. I don’t know what it is worshipped. Later, I heard that it was struck by lightning in a heavy rain and caught fire. It ignited the surrounding mountains and forests. After it was extinguished, it became a ruin. Later, it was reclaimed and fruit trees were raised. I don’t know where it is now.
However, it is said that Huaiyuan Temple has been rebuilt again. When thick fog appears in the mountains, it will be discovered. No one who enters it has ever seen it again."
