Chapter 12 old hanging master (next)
Speaking of which we point the pine torch gradually darkened, soon to be burned out, and hurriedly replaced two pine candles on the point, this pine candle is a mountain soil candles, very simple, the shortcomings are burning quickly, not as strong as regular candles burn, go out and walk at night time also deal with the ability to make, better than no light.
I said to the fat man and swallow, since this place is only yellow skin temple, that is nothing strange, we should be left to chase the enemy, to the back of the temple to catch the “yellow fairy godmother”, and then rushed back to the forest before dark.
The “yellow fairy godmother” was fat man with a muggle stuffed mouth, yellow wax sealed anus, back legs also to the wire tie, it is now neither sound, also can’t release fart, can’t climb much faster, almost only half a life, so we don’t worry about it wings to fly, the three of us unhurriedly searched to the depths of the stone temple past.
“It is impossible to drill out from here.
The temple has a half tilted clay statue, is the god of the Yellow Fairy, the clay man wearing robes, and the general height of the ordinary people, the image is more anthropomorphic, just a swineherd, a few moustaches around the mouth, or very close to the weasel’s face, the Yellow Fairy clay statue of the back of a cellar, below the repair of the stone steps to the deeper underground, it seems to be the “Yellow Fairy”! It seems that “Huang Xian Nun” is a quasi-fledged from this down, want to seek the blessing of its ancestors.
I look at this manhole so peculiar, manhole mouth should have been paved with bricks, now those bricks are pried open and thrown aside, which is obviously a secret passage extremely hidden entrance, it seems that this was pried open the manhole, perhaps it is the group of people digging open the underground ancient temple for, they are obviously something to come, they actually want to find what it is? Could it be the bronze box that the local legend says the Yellow Immortal loaded with treasures?
I and swallow a front and back holding a pine candle, the fat man with a guy in the middle, the three step by step down, the stone steps and steep and narrow, the manhole in the cold through the bones, I walk side of this question just now on the fat man and swallow said briefly, the fat man said: “old Hu you really are smart a time confused a moment, just come down when you are not did not see, the tunnel mouth of the soil on the how thick! The soil on the tunnel entrance is so thick that it was washed away by the rain from the mountain. That is the rain from the mountain washed down the mud and rocks buried again, even if it was before someone into the mountains digging for treasure, that should be dozens of hundreds of years ago, what good things have long been taken away by them, but also to leave us it, and now go in the cucumber dishes are cold, every now and then to catch a few small yellow skin, for a few pounds of fruit sugar I’m satisfied, you do not know enough, we are not still there is only a bear’s paw and the golden soybean it? Don’t be complacent. These two days can really pick up the foreign drop child hair foreign wealth, we go home to visit relatives in the Spring Festival travel expenses and the future of tobacco and alcohol money is considered to be all down.”
I talked to the fat man and swallow down, only to find that this cellar than imagined much deeper, the heart drums, can not guess what this is through to what place, the more down the air quality is worse, but still can breathe, the most people can not stand is that the pine candle flame from blue to green, light suddenly strong and weak, reflecting the face of the people covered with a layer of blue light, I have not seen ghosts, but I estimate that if there are really ghosts, then, the face of with the I’ve never seen a ghost before, but I think if there was a ghost, I’m afraid the color of its face wouldn’t be much worse than ours now.
The pine candle not only smoked people’s eyes, the flame is not big, even if there is no wind, sometimes will go out by itself, I hold up the pine candle with one hand, the other hand half gathered the flame, in order to prevent their own breathing and walking driven by the air current make it extinguished, but this earth candle after all, the craft level is poor, so careful, or suddenly extinguished.
My hands of the pine candle is extinguished in front of a dark, I stopped to relight it and then go, but behind the fat man followed too closely, the stairs and narrow, can not collect the steps, I was his arch is also unsteady, walking at the end of the swallow to see the two of us to roll down the steps, hastily reached out to yank the arm of the fat man, but she which dragged the fat man, and we rolled with the fall down the stairs.
Fortunately, the stone steps have almost reached the end, we wear thicker, but did not suffer any injuries, but Yan Zi’s hand of the pine candle also extinguished, in front of the eyes can not see the five fingers, I rubbed the elbow of the impact of the pain, I want to touch from the satchel of the pine candle to light up, to see what we are falling into the place.
But just sat up, I feel wearing a leather hat head hit something, face next to something wobbly swinging around, higher up there is a rope friction wood, constantly emitting “creak new, creak new” dry friction sound, I thought this is what is hanging here? A touch, from the feel to judge, like the former Northeast of the kind of thick-soled kicking dead cow cotton shoes, and then touch the inside of the hard tied even human feet, and then on the upper side of the calf belly wearing cotton pants, pants legs are still tied, I was shocked, the soles of the shoes just parallel to the height of my head and face, what two feet hanging in the air swaying to and fro? That must be the hanged ghost, black light in the dark, but touched a hanging dead body, the northeast mountain area hanged ghosts called “old hanged master”, all the legends about the “old hanged master” are extremely scary, although I never believe, but when it comes to the end, not afraid! I couldn’t help but yell “ah” at that time.
I this sound fell beside me swallow and fat people are startled, fat people fell the hardest, tailbone pad to the stone steps on the corners, is in pain straight inhaling cold air, this time still lying on the ground did not get up, listen to me scared a cry of surprise, not inevitably very worried, and busy asking me: “Old Hu how are you? What are you …… you blindly screaming? You pour quickly give a bright ah.”
I just now was indeed scared a little dull, the hands are holding the hanging dead feet forget to let go, fiercely listening to the fat man asked, I do not know how to explain, casually replied: “I …… I …… these feet …… scared me to death.”
Swallow was probably confused by me, the darkness heard her panic and said, “Ah? How did you die? You must not die ah, back to the Tunzi branch book scolded me, I still count on you to give me the black pot it, you die I can how to organize ah.”
