To the west of Heyue Town, there is a small mountain. This mountain does not occupy a large area, and the mountain is low. It looks like a mountain but not a mountain, and it looks like a slope but not a slope.

However, the temple located on that mountain still has a name—Liuhe Temple.

Today, there is no way to verify the exact date of construction of this temple, but the term "thousand years" should be more reliable. Whether it is the records of the outside world or the ancient scriptures and scrolls preserved in the temple, they can all prove the long history of this temple.

As a building that has existed for more than a thousand years and is still in use, Liuhe Temple has undoubtedly undergone many renovations. On weekdays, there have been countless minor repairs and repairs spontaneously made by the monks. Just talking about major repairs... there are 19 recorded times. And the last time... was forty years ago.

At that time, it was the most stable and prosperous period in Heyue Town. After decades of development and accumulation, the third-generation descendants of those refugees caught up with a good time. Although it cannot be said that there are no poor people in the whole town, people who sleep on the streets, starve and suffer from cold...they really cannot be found.

As the saying goes... the granary knows the etiquette, and the food and clothing are sufficient to know the honor and disgrace. Now that the townspeople of Heyue Town are getting along in terms of material civilization, they naturally have the leisure to do some spiritual civilization construction.

It was impossible for ordinary people in those days (the situation in the world of this script to be equivalent to the feudal society in ancient China) to summarize the eight honors and eight disgraces. In addition to the traditional etiquette, righteousness, honesty and shame, they also talked about religious superstition.

Considering that the monks of Liuhe Temple are kind to the ancestors of the townspeople, and the weather in the town has been basically smooth these years... Therefore, the townspeople plan to do something for the temple, one is to repay the kindness of the monks in the temple, and the other is to thank Blessed by the gods for many years.

Therefore, 40 years ago, under the negotiation between the then mayor of Heyue Town and the abbot of Liuhe Temple, the townspeople raised a sum of money, and planned to use the money to completely renovate the temple, and donate to many temples. Buddha statues recreated in gold.

This is a good thing. But the ending of the matter was beyond everyone's expectation...

...

Renovating a temple as large as Liuhe Temple is a time-consuming and large-scale project that requires a lot of craftsmen and labor. Just relying on the manpower in Heyue Town. Obviously not enough. Fortunately...the project funds are still relatively abundant, so the foreman in charge of the project recruited a lot of people from the towns around Heyue Town.

That year, among the workers who came to repair the monastery, there was a middle-aged stonemason from a foreign country. This person is surnamed Zhang. The single name is a single word. Although his parents gave him a very stable name, Zhang Ke's character seems to be the opposite of his name. Not only is he not very cautious, but he is also extremely frizzy and frivolous, meddling in other people's affairs.

On a certain night forty years ago, Zhang Ke drank a few more drinks at the wine shop in the town. With the help of the wine, he suddenly had a whim and wanted to visit the "Stone Court Pagoda" in Liuhe Temple. …

Speaking of the stone courtyard pagoda, it is indeed a rather mysterious place. There has been an iron law in Liuhe Temple since ancient times - no one is allowed to enter the stone courtyard in the temple except the abbot himself. Not to mention stepping half a step into the pagoda in the stone courtyard.

Before the temple was renovated, the abbot had repeatedly told the mayor not to let anyone approach the stone courtyard. And the mayor... also faithfully conveyed the abbot's words to all the workers involved in the repair work.

To be honest... In the eyes of the workers, this matter is actually not a big deal. If it's a nunnery... you say there's a forbidden place, people might be interested in spying on it; but the forbidden place in the monk's temple... if you don't enter it, you can't enter it. Do you still expect to find a magic weapon if you touch it? Or a peerless secret

But there is such a person who is very curious... that is Zhang Ke.

This guy is a typical secondary disease that has not been cured for a long time and has turned into a terminal illness for life, and his personality belongs to the type of IQ that will drop after two bowls of yellow soup. The more you don't let him go, the more he will go... After he goes there, he will come back and brag about it. It is also great to act like a hero in front of his colleagues.

But we all know it. A real hero... More or less there is something special about him, he has "strength".

Some people can walk the mountain road in the dark after drinking a few catties of old wine, and kill a ferocious national first-class protected animal with their bare hands; You can also walk the mountain road in the dark with wine, but in the end your foot slipped and fell to your death in a ravine.

Judging from Zhang Ke's performance in the past few decades... he definitely belongs to the latter.

So when he went... no one was alive, no dead body was seen.

...

What happened that night, only a few people know, and outsiders only know... After that night, no one saw Zhang Ke again.

A few days later, the mayor gave an explanation... Zhang Ke strayed into the mountains after being drunk. Eaten by wild animals, no bones remain.

And this statement... Naturally, Zhang Ke's family members were not satisfied, and they soon made a fuss with the government.

The first official administrative officer of Heyue Town was appointed by an envoy sent by the imperial court fifteen years after the establishment of the town; and the appointed person was the incumbent mayor at that time. Obviously, the imperial court didn't pay much attention to the management of this small town, it was just a formality. The main purpose is to make this town officially included in the national establishment to facilitate tax collection.

Later, the town had a more formal yamen, and the law was replaced by the "village law" promulgated by the imperial court from the original "village law". But in general, the town is still in a state of "self-government", and the vast majority of officials are locals.

After Zhang Ke's case was revealed, his family members would certainly not be foolish to come to Heyue Town to file a complaint... Therefore, they went directly to a higher-level yamen.

And the government... indeed sent people to investigate.

The investigation process of this case can be said to be in the dark in the eyes of outsiders. Although there are many rumors in the market, the content is divided and it is difficult to distinguish the truth from the false.

The only thing that is certain is that the attitude of the official handling the case has been full of twists and turns—from the attitude of "swearing to uphold justice and not being indifferent" at the beginning, to "cold attitude and full of doubts", and later... When he talked about the case, he had already It is a state of "evasive and reticent".

At the same time, those detectives who handled the case also made some creepy and weird remarks to the outside world intentionally or unintentionally... probably saying, "There are some 'unclean things' in the pagoda of the stone courtyard. Ke this guy is looking for his own death, I'm afraid he's already lost his soul."

In short, after a month, the case was finally closed. And the final result is...the government intervened and asked the temple to give Zhang Ke's family a sum of money, whether it was compensation or hush money... Anyway, this is the end of the matter. Zhang Ke's family either chose to take the money and accepted the statement of "being eaten by wild animals and leaving no bones"; or... there was no money and no statement.

In this way, the family members of the parties can only choose to calm down and settle down, and this matter will come to an end.

However...people at the time certainly didn't expect...this case had laid the groundwork for a catastrophe that would happen forty years later.

...

"Hmm... It's really gloomy..." When he came to the gate of Liuhe Temple, Wang Tanzhi raised his head to look at the tall bronze gate, and said softly.

He spoke in a very soft voice, not because he was worried about being discovered by someone in the distance, but because he felt guilty, he lowered his voice instinctively.

"I thought there was enough stinky blood in the town, but compared with this place...it's nothing." Xiao Ling, who was standing beside Xiao Tan, covered his nose and muttered.

At this point, about half an hour had passed since the script started. Xiaotan and Xiaoling met on the way to Liuhe Temple, and until they arrived here, neither of them found any signs of other players' activities around them.

In terms of their investigative expertise, the possibility of being secretly followed is extremely low; and if someone arrived here before them, they would most likely be caught by them. Therefore... It can be basically concluded that they are the two players who came to Liuhe Temple the fastest.

Of course... It cannot be ruled out that someone was placed inside the temple as soon as they entered the script...

"Let's... how to get in?" Xiao Tan thought for a few seconds before the door, then turned around and asked, "Should I try to knock on the door, or just break in? Or... just climb in through the wall?"

Hearing this, Xiao Ling thought for a few seconds, then took two steps forward in silence, and grabbed the brass handle on the gate.

squeak—

With a little force, the huge door was pushed open.

"Eh?" Xiao Tan was stunned for a moment, and asked, "How do you know that you can push it away?"

"I don't know." Xiao Ling shrugged, "I just tried and..."

She couldn't finish her sentence, because before the last word "ha" came out, a cloud of blood mist rolled out from the door, quickly wrapped Xiao Ling's whole body, and dragged him into the door...

A second later, Xiao Tan instinctively rushed forward, wanting to grab Xiao Ling's hand, but at this moment... the blood mist had already dragged the latter into the door.

Boom—

When a look of astonishment appeared on Xiao Tan's face, the door in front of him...had been...suddenly...closed again. (.)
