I also saw a light flickering among the dark trees, which looked particularly strange.
I called Sanya and asked her if the ruined Taoist temple was in that place. Sanya shook her head and pointed to the right side of the light. It was still in front. I asked her if she understood it. Sanya scratched her head and said, "It was dark and I was scared. I knew it was right."
Oh, that's the same as saying nothing. Just let her go back to the flag and continue walking forward.
The moon was dark and the wind was high. The mountain road was rugged and the surroundings were terribly quiet. Even though I often experience horror, I feel creepy. Because it was so quiet, Shen Bing didn't dare to speak, as if she was afraid of breaking the dead silence and attracting unclean things. Unclean things generally refer to ghosts and evil spirits, but ghosts and evil spirits are ever-changing and varied. What we have seen is just a drop in the bucket. An evil spirit like Hanba may pop up at any time, and then we will be in trouble!
However, I believe that there can be no evil spirits that can cause trouble on Mount Mao. They are nothing more than wandering ghosts. Maoshan follows the Taoist principle that they cannot be killed indiscriminately. As long as they do not harm people and are in a remote and uninhabited place, they are allowed to exist.
The mountain road here was much smoother than the one we took up the mountain, and there were no thorns on the roadside. We soon arrived at a place with lights. A house was vaguely visible among the trees, with bright lights shining through the windows.
"There are people living here. Should we go over and ask about that dilapidated Taoist temple?" Shen Bing asked.
It is not uncommon to have residents in the mountains, but a lonely house is strange. And this light looks very bright at first glance, giving people a warm feeling in the dark. But the more you look at it, the more you feel it has a gloomy atmosphere.
I shook my head. Sometimes, the wild ghosts in the mountains, combined with the mountain's yin energy, set up a Yin house that cannot be seen by the naked eye. Unfortunately, I can't open the Yin-Yang eyes, so it's difficult for me to determine whether it is a Yin house. This is not a broken Taoist temple, so it's better to avoid trouble. So I pulled Shen Bing around the house and continued to move forward in the direction pointed by San Ya.
"Ouch..."
Suddenly, a beautiful woman's voice came from the bushes on the left, and Shen Bing and I hurriedly shone our flashlights over there.
Not far from us, a girl was lying in the bushes, sucking her fingers with her mouth, her face full of pain. When she saw the light, she trembled with fear and looked up at us. She was about 20 years old, wearing an ordinary red vest and jeans, with a pretty face, black eyes flashing with surprise, and a ponytail on her head. She looked like a mountain girl, quite pure.
Shen Bing stretched her head and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
The girl frowned and said, "I just tripped and got bit by a snake!"
"Ah, is it a poisonous snake?" Shen Bing walked over in surprise. I thought to myself that this girl didn't look right. Why did you help her without any scruples? This is a big taboo.
But although it looked suspicious, based on my experience, I could tell that she was a human being. So I didn't stop Shen Bing and just walked over to her.
There was a big stone behind the girl's heel, and it seemed that she tripped over it, which was not a big problem. The serious thing was the bite from the snake. When she saw us coming, she saw clearly that we were not bad people, and her guarded look disappeared. She said painfully: "It was a poisonous snake, but I have detoxifying herbs at home." As she said that, she tried to stand up with her hands, but her left foot shook and she cried out in pain: "Ouch, it hurts so much!" Then she fell to the ground again, and it seemed that she had sprained her ankle.
Shen Bing hurriedly said, "Don't move, let me take a look at your foot." Then she handed me the flashlight, squatted down, and pulled her ankle up a little. Sure enough, her ankle was swollen and sprained.
"Where is your home? Let us take you back." Shen Bing asked.
"Look, that's the house." The girl pointed to the light.
