Looking from the mountain, this slope is about 100 meters, but it feels like it will be much longer when you really fall. When a few people descend to the mountain stream under the slope, it was already noon.

When he got down to the mountain stream, Zhang Guozhong felt relieved. Although there was a thorn everywhere in the mountain stream, there was indeed a small road. The thorns on both sides of the road were clearly marked by being cut. Looking along the road, in the middle of the cliffs on both sides, he did say to Sun Dapeng. A gap was blown out, and the width was just enough to pass by someone. "Is it good to have such a lot of effort to do some serious work..." After wiping his sweat, Zhang Guozhong muttered and walked towards the gap in the middle of the cliff.

"Hey? It's weird..." Although Zhang Guozhong was quite calm, Sun Dapeng, as the guide, frowned.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Zhang Guozhong glanced at Sun Dapeng, "Is this the road?"

"It's true that this road is, but... something is wrong..." Sun Dapeng put his mouth close to Zhang Guozhong's ear. "A few years ago, the electric drills were always thrown in the mountains. People in the village were afraid. No matter how tired they were at night, they would take them back. Even if they sleep in the mountains, they would keep people watching. So those people stopped doing this later. They said this several years ago, but you looked at the grass growing..." As he spoke, Sun Dapeng pointed to the wild jujube trees on both sides of the road, as if they had just been cut down. "Look, it's obvious that someone has been traversing this road recently..."

"This... Dapeng, you must have stopped working a few years ago?" Zhang Guozhong squatted down and looked at the broken branches of thorns on the roadside. It seemed that it had been cut off recently. "Is there any other purpose for this road besides stealing electric drills and escaping? Who else do you know about this road?"

"I can't say whether they steal electric drills or not, but our village has basically not lost them in the past two years. As for what other uses... it's hard to say. Apart from escaping, I probably won't do anything else..." Sun Dapeng looked up at the slope in front of him, "If it weren't for stealing electric drills, I think that people wouldn't usually go here. If you go down this slope, you'll be broken and your tendons are broken. Why don't you run away? Besides, this road leads to other villages and not to our villages. People from other villages cannot come here to open up land..."

"Does Zhou Wenqiang know this road?" At this moment, Zhang Guozhong had basically had the answer in his mind.

"This..." Zhang Guozhong asked, Sun Dapeng was also stunned. "I don't know. Since his mother died, he has been playing money every day, and probably has to worry. My brother who worships him and steals it together, but I don't know..."

"It's him!" Zhang Guozhong stood up and walked straight to Xiao Chen, a policeman sitting on the ground and panting. "Comrade Police, we suspect the criminal escaped from here! Do you think we have to go back and call more people?"

"What?" Xiao Chen was not very happy to go this trip, thinking that if it weren't for you, a bullshit expert, I would have taken the bus back to the bureau for tea. At this moment, Zhang Guozhong asked this, Xiao Chen looked even more indifferent, thinking that you would have analyzed the case as well. "Brother expert, our captain said that it is not certain where we ran. We have arranged the police force. My mission is to escort you to chase Officer Zhu and the others. Don't worry about other matters? OK?"

"Okay..." When Zhang Guozhong heard Xiao Chen's attitude, he lost his temper. "Then let's go and chase Officer Zhu..."

Following this path, after walking for about an hour, I saw lush cornfields in the distance. After crossing the cornfields, several people came to a dirt roadside by the field. They saw that the dirt road was about two meters wide, and a larger car would definitely not be able to drive, but it should not be a problem to take a small surface or motorcycle. The two ends of the dirt road were connected directly to the horizon. Except for a building similar to a dilapidated temple in the distance, there were basically no other buildings. "We can just wait here. Go to National Highway 309, and they will be able to wait for this!"

"Where is this?" Zhang Guozhong looked around and saw that there was a lot of farmland. Except for the dilapidated temple not far away, there was basically no shade.

"This is the General Temple, they must come from there..." Sun Dapeng pointed to the direction of the dilapidated temple in the distance, "If they had just set off when we went up the mountain, they would have to arrive here in at least an hour!"

"Dapeng...If we left in the morning, can we still catch up?" What Zhang Guozhong really wanted to chase was not Xiao Zhu, but Liu Dongsheng.

"You left in the morning?" Sun Dapeng thought for a while, shook his head again, "That's enough. This shortcut can save up to two hours at most. If you walk in the morning, you will definitely not be able to catch up with it unless there is a car..."

"Car..." Zhang Guozhong looked around. Not to mention cars, he couldn't even see his personal figure. Although he didn't see a car, the dilapidated temple in the distance made Zhang Guozhong feel a little strange: the temple is originally Yin, and since ancient times, there has been a saying that "it is better to live in front of the temple than behind the temple". The reason is that the temple gathers Yin, which is not conducive to living, and the Yin energy behind the temple is greater than the Yin energy in front of the temple, which is easy to provoke unclean things. In "Maoshan Shuzhi", there are two special circumstances in the plain area, and the Yin energy intensity can be combined with

The "Gayin Pool" in the mountains is comparable. One is that the temple is surrounded by empty spaces or fields, so that the surrounding yin energy will be sucked by the temple, forming an effect similar to a vortex. At this time, the center of the vortex is that the yin energy of the temple will accumulate and not be easily dispersed, and the wandering souls and wild spirits outside will also be attracted. If the resentment is not very heavy, it will be difficult to escape. This situation is called "Rutter Soul Cauldron" in Maoshan Technique. The meaning of "天天" is the big urn, which means that injustice will exist in Yi Temple.

The center of the whirlpool centered on the temple will not invade outside or provoke strangers; the second situation is that the surrounding environment of the temple is empty and there is a graveyard. In this way, the soul of the new deceased will be sucked into the whirlpool of Yin Qi and is difficult to escape. It was originally reincarnated, but now it cannot be reincarnated. Over time, it will cause great resentment and it is easy to cause disasters. This situation becomes "Rutter Soul" in Maoshan Technique. The word "Rutter Soul" means the stand of the object, which means that if the resentment of the soul in "Rutter Soul" accumulates to a certain extent.

In the meantime, it will actively attack strangers. Compared with the former "Soul-Rotation" and the latter is more dangerous. If the temple is not worshipped or inhabited for a long time, the severity of these two situations will be aggravated. This is also the reason why larger temples are willing to build on the mountain (the yin and yang in the mountains are formed in a self-contained system, which is completely different from the plain area). Some small and medium-sized temples will take some protective measures even if they are built in plain area, such as building towers, crossing rivers, opening canals to drain the yin, etc.

"Dapeng, what is that dilapidated temple-like building for?" Zhang Guozhong asked.

"Master, that is the General Temple! The place name in this area is called General Temple, because there is that temple!" Sun Dapeng pulled Zhang Guozhong aside, "By the way, Master, that General Temple is not a good person, it's so haunted...!"

"Haunted?" Zhang Guozhong was stunned, "What the hell is it?"

"Hey, I heard from the old people that I have been saying that the fight has been haunted for a long time, and I don't know when it started. At first, there were people a few miles away from this temple, but it is said that there were ghost fires several miles away from the temple, and then they all moved away... So you see, there are more than ten miles in this radius and no one lives there. It is said that the temple is making trouble! There are still some people in the busy farming period, and they are still unwilling to make do with it..."

"Ghost Fire?" Zhang Guozhong smiled slightly. In fact, ghost fire and haunting are completely different. Ghost fire can be explained by modern science. It is the light caused by the spontaneous combustion of phosphorus elements in human bones. "There is no cemetery nearby, where does the ghost fire come from?"

"Hey, Master, who told you that there was no grave? I heard from the old man that this land was a mess before liberation. The body was buried here without a master or not, and the grave was gone. After liberation, it was changed to a farmland. The grave was flattened with a bulldozer and directly planted grains, and even the coffin was not dug out..."

"Grave!?" Zhang Guozhong was stunned. According to Sun Dapeng, this general temple just met the conditions of "Ruin Soul" and if Zhou Wenqiang really cleaned up the secret path leading to Shuangru Mountain from Shuangru Mountain to General Temple, then his accomplice in black might have used the "Ruin Soul" around the General Temple... "Dapeng, except for ghost fire, there is nothing strange about the ruined temple? Especially recently?"

"I haven't heard of it lately. Who has nothing to do? But there was one before!" Sun Dapeng said, "I heard from my grandfather that there was a top scholar village nearby before liberation. It is said that the top scholar in the previous dynasty village was named this. However, later the top scholar was beheaded by the emperor, and his family was sent to the exile before they even saw the corpse. You said it was wronged? I have been studying for so many years, and the money for the book was not yet earned, so the emperor was chopped off..." Sun Dapeng had no idea as long as he opened his mouth. "At that time, there were cemeteries near the General Temple, and no one left at night. Later, one day, there was a man named Wang Dagao in the village. By the way, this man's nickname seemed to be Wuba Lamb, and his name was like..."

"I said Dapeng, can we change this problem in the future?" Zhang Guozhong couldn't stand it anymore. He was so anxious that he vomited blood. But this precious apprentice kept talking, "Can we not talk about anything else in the future and just talk about the topic?"

"Oh, okay, the master said, whatever he said..." Sun Dapeng smirked and scratched his head, "One night, Wang Dagao went to the market to watch the show. It was too late to come home. If you go around the road, you have to walk for a short while. You have to take a small path from the General Temple. You can get there in an hour. Wang Dagao is also lazy, so he took the small path from the General Temple. When he walked to the gate of the General Temple, he suddenly felt someone patting his shoulders, and then he heard someone asking him to borrow fire from behind him. At that time, this kid drank two taels of wine while watching the show, and without thinking much, he took out the foreign fire. As a result, what did you think? When he turned around, there was no one around! There was a cemetery, and there was no one in a radius of dozens of feet. Oh, this scared Wang Dagao to death, and ran home directly!"

"That's all?" Zhang Guozhong was almost depressed.

"There are still there..." Sun Dapeng looked serious, "When Wang Dagao just ran to the door, he suddenly felt that his hands were holding his ankle, and a big horse slept into the yard, and his front teeth were knocked off. Then this man was seriously ill and lay in the bed for a year! Wang Dagao had a son, and he shouted that his father carried a girl home on the same day! Since Wang Dagao got sick, the child said that there was a girl sitting on his father's bed. For this matter, Wang Dagao's wife beat the child to death, but no matter how he beat him, the child just didn't change his words! Later, he asked the gentleman to see... Master, you know, my grandfather always travels with you, and my grandfather was invited to the house..."

"Who are you walking with..." Zhang Guozhong was almost crying. After a long time, he was still regarded as a fortune teller... "What did you see?" Zhang Guozhong said.

"Then I don't know..." Sun Dapeng said, "But this incident was quite evil at the time, but even more evil was still behind: After Wang Dagao recovered from illness, the child stopped having sex with the girl on the head of the bed, but soon after, Wang Dagao's wife became pregnant and later gave birth to a daughter. She looked neither like her father nor her mother. The couple fought a lot about this matter. At this time, his son started to make trouble again, saying that his sister looked like the woman sitting on the head of her father's bed...!"
