This time, the man in the peaked cap was frightened. The arrogant and disdainful look on his face disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by deep fear and inexplicable emotions of horror.
He no longer dared to be arrogant. Even when Ji Feng asked him to lead the way, he rolled and climbed up Dawei Mountain, as if he hated his parents for not having two legs!
Ji Feng and Han Zhong followed leisurely behind. They had seen too many people like Peaked Cap, especially Ji Feng, who had seen him countless times.
In fact, if strictly speaking, these ruffians are no different from other people in society. I don’t know how many people have this kind of bullying and fear of the strong character. When they see others not as good as themselves, they can’t help but make fun of them, or even bully them. people.
But once he found out that the person was not who he thought he was at all, and instead punished him severely, he immediately bent down and a flattering smile appeared on his face.
—No matter how angry I feel, I don’t dare to show it on my face!
People like this can be found around each of us.
So Ji Feng and Han Zhong didn't even look at the man in the peaked hat, they just followed him up the mountain unhurriedly.
As for Bai Zhu, there was no trace at this moment, but no one among the three duck caps noticed this.
"Huh~~!"
Gradually, Han Zhong's breathing became heavier. His body was already a little weak. In addition, he was climbing a mountain at the moment. The man in the peaked hat used all his strength to climb up because of fear. Han Zhong wanted to It's a little difficult to keep up.
But he said nothing and insisted on following.
Fortunately, the mountain was not too high, so after ten or twenty minutes, they reached the edge of the forest halfway up the mountain.
"Let me ask you, where is my father?!" Han Zhong took two steps forward, grabbed the collar of the peaked cap, and asked in a deep voice with his eyes wide open.
"Right, right here!" The peaked cap pointed hard at the woods in front of him.
"If you dare to lie to me, I will definitely kill you today!" Han Zhong said coldly.
The peaked cap couldn't help his throat feeling dry and his heart tightening. He quickly said: "No, I didn't lie to you. Your father is here. You will know when you go in and take a look..."
Han Zhong glared: "Lead the way!"
The peaked cap was a little annoyed, but looking at Ji Feng who was standing not far away wearing sunglasses, he couldn't help but subconsciously shrink his neck. Although he was unwilling, he could only walk in front and lead the way.
When Ji Feng and the two entered the woods, the scenery in front of them suddenly changed, and they were greatly surprised.
I saw that among the lush woods, there was a flat land in the middle. It was not a slope like a mountain at all, but a real flat land. It was as if someone had cut off a piece of the mountain horizontally, forming a very flat land. mesa.
This piece of flat land covers an area of at least three to four hundred square meters, and is surrounded by lush trees. Even on this flat land, there are some trees growing sparsely.
But this was not enough to surprise Ji Feng and Han Zhong. What really surprised them was that when they walked further along the flat land and looked around, they found a building!
This is an old-fashioned building that seems to have some originality. The door shows a dark brown wood color, which is obviously a color formed after years of precipitation.
Above the gate, there are cornices and carved beams, especially the two thick pillars in front of the gate, which are carved with many patterns. There are dragons going up around the beams, and there are various shapes of carvings, which look like... It looks like some ancient palace building.
The whole building is full of antique feeling, as if it makes people think that they have arrived at a certain dynasty in history.
What surprised both Ji Feng and Han Zhong even more was that this building full of historical charm was completely located in the mountain. It was as if gods descended to earth in ancient times and hollowed out a piece of the mountain. , and then put this building in!
Of course, this is just the feeling of Ji Feng and his wife. In fact, they can completely see that this building is built directly into the mountain. Both the height and width of the building are close to the surrounding stone walls, almost Not much error!
Ji Feng guessed that this place might be a relatively shallow cave itself, and then someone built this building in this cave.
Of course, it is also possible that such a cave was specially dug out of the mountain because of the need to build such a building.
-No matter which situation it is, it is enough to illustrate the incomparable wisdom of the person who built this building, which makes people marvel.
The building in front of him reminded Ji Feng of the kind of giant Buddha halfway up the mountain. In many places, the Buddha statues were carved directly after cutting out the mountain, so the entire Buddha statue seemed to be built in a large cave. This It is very similar to the style of the building in front of me.
It seems that this is also an ancient building. Ji Feng secretly thought in his heart.
He turned around and looked around, only to see that Han Zhong was still in shock... In fact, it was no wonder. After all, what they saw when they came just now was that there were desolate scenes everywhere, including wilderness, barren mountains, and suburbs. This sense of desolation makes it impossible for people to imagine that there is actually a cave in the lush woods halfway up the mountain!
This makes people feel like they have suddenly entered the Peach Blossom Land written by Tao Yuanming!
"Donglin Gong Temple!"
Suddenly, Ji Feng's eyes fell on the door beam of this building. On the horizontal stone, these four characters were carved.
The font is in traditional Chinese, which is obviously not a modern product, and this directly proves that Ji Feng's guess is correct. This is indeed an ancient building, and it should be an ancestral hall of a certain family or somewhere.
Ji Feng couldn't help but suddenly realize at this time, no wonder, he was still wondering before, how could someone be hidden on this barren mountain with only some low pines and cypresses besides tombstones and graves
Now everything is clear. There is actually an ancestral temple halfway up the mountain!
Under the cover of the surrounding dense woods, it is difficult to find the existence of this ancestral hall whether from the bottom of the mountain or from the air. If someone is hidden here, it will be almost impossible for someone unfamiliar with this place to find it. It's impossible.
"Where is our Mr. Han?" Ji Feng looked away from the ancestral hall and asked in a deep voice.
"Right inside!" said the peaked cap.
Only then did Han Zhong come to his senses, his face darkened: "Lead the way!"
The peaked hat was about to speak when he saw Ji Feng suddenly coming forward. He suddenly had nothing to say and hurriedly led the way.
"Squeak~~Gah~~!"
When the door of the ancestral hall was pushed open, a tooth-aching creaking sound suddenly came from the door shaft, which made Han Zhong instantly couldn't help but frown, and he felt a little numb in his scalp.
Ji Feng was also made uncomfortable by this extremely harsh sound, but fortunately, the sound disappeared immediately after the door was opened, and he gave up the idea of stepping forward and kicking the door open.
The two of them followed the man in the peaked hat into the ancestral hall. The first thing they saw was a row of god tablets. However, the names written on these tablets were no longer someone's name, but some traditional gods and powerful figures in Chinese mythology. On top of each god's throne, there is a row of statues about half a meter high, and each statue corresponds to the name on the god's throne.
There is also a large incense burner at the bottom, with incense burning inside. It seems that people are often worshiping these gods here, but I don’t know if those people have done a lot of bad things, so they want to ask for the blessings of the gods and Buddhas in the sky. .
The peaked hat led Ji Feng and the two around the row of altars. The scene in front of them changed again. Behind the altars, there were tables one after another. On those tables, there were various patterns, such as distances. Ji Feng's nearest table has the words "big" and "small" written in white on it.
-This is obviously a table used for gambling!
Only then did Ji Feng and the others realize that behind this row of statues, there was actually a casino!
Of course, there was no one in the casino at this time, and those gamblers probably hadn't come yet.
"… Hold!"
Han Zhong couldn't help but feel dazed when he saw this, and cursed subconsciously.
This ancestral hall is usually a place where a family worships their ancestors or holds some important ceremonies, but now someone is opening a casino here... If the person who runs the casino is really a descendant of this family, then he is really an unworthy descendant.
There were seven or eight tables in total. Ji Feng glanced at it and saw that the hall was all filled with tables. Looking further away, there were actually stairs leading to the second floor and below. This was really a large casino!
"You guys wait here." The peaked hat said a word and started to go upstairs.
"Snapped!"
Ji Feng slapped the cap on the back of his neck and gritted his teeth: "What are you going to do?"
The peaked hat trembled subconsciously and blurted out: "Go and report to the boss."
"oh?"
"Your boss is here? Who is he?" Ji Feng snorted coldly: "Let him bring us, Mr. Han, out!"
"...Okay, okay." The peaked hat hesitated for a moment, then nodded quickly and hurriedly ran upstairs.
"Yo ho!"
However, the peaked hat had just taken two steps when he suddenly heard a sneer from upstairs, "You are so arrogant. You dare to come to me and act wild! Mr. Han, you are so majestic!"
Ji Feng's eyes suddenly narrowed, and he immediately recognized that this voice was the voice of the person who had talked to Han Zhong on the phone before!
