Chapter 1201 Wusheng Temple

In the vast land of northwest Shanxi, there is a Guandi Temple dedicated to Guan Erye in Guanluo Mountain. This temple is not far away from the main peak of Guanluo Mountain. It is a boundary that vehicles cannot pass and tourists dare not go deep.

There are many ferocious beasts in the mountains. The grass can reach up to a person's chest. It is surrounded by virgin forest. The trees are tall and block out the sky. The fallen leaves in the forest can be buried up to a person's knees. It is a truly barren mountain. Even the locals know it.

There aren't many places.

No one knows when this temple was built, because my hometown is remote and few scholars and experts are willing to go there. However, there is also a local saying that it was built by Li Keyong, the emperor of the Later Tang Dynasty during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period.

Before Li Keyong became emperor, he led the Shatuo Army south to quell the Huangchao Rebellion and regain Chang'an. When he returned to the army, he saw the ruins of the ancient Great Wall of Qin and Han Dynasties.

The martial sage Guan Yu thought that Guan Yu, like himself, was from the Three Jin Dynasties, so he ordered the construction of this place.

However, as far as I know, this place seems to have always been abandoned and has never been repaired. Broken walls and ruins can be seen everywhere on the mountain, which is desolate and dilapidated. To put it bluntly, even if it suddenly rains heavily while passing by, a normal person would guess that

I don't want to go to this place to rest, I'm afraid that there are spirits from the mountains occupying the temple, and they will break my bones and suck out my marrow, eating and drinking them all.

Who would have thought that Hua Chuan, whose base camp is far away in Jinling in the south of the Yangtze River, would focus on such a small ruined temple and regard it as a stronghold?

According to Amamiya Shanger, Zhao Xiaodao and the surviving Liumen boat girl are now hiding in the Guandi Temple.

Along the way, Brother Yaozi and I discussed this matter repeatedly, and we always felt that something was not quite right.

There is no way, my hometown is such a remote place, how can Huachuan have a stronghold in front of my house? Their power is so huge that they cannot be so pervasive. Think about it, how many people do they have in Northeast China? As a result, Jin

There is one in a corner like this in the northwest, and it is almost dead right at the door of my house. Can I not think too much about it?

Brother Yaozi also felt that this matter was unusual, so he only advised me to calm down and save people first, and then talk about anything else after saving people.

I understood the importance and nodded in agreement.

…

All signs indicate that Zhao Xiaodao and the Liumen boat girl she brought out did not know that they and others had been exposed.

Judging from the information given by Amamiya Shanger, the last time Zhao Xiaodao and the others were chased by Wu Tang was in southern Shanxi. It happened just a few days ago. Then Zhao Xiaodao led his people to escape to northwest Shanxi, and

A day ago, her location was exposed again. It was probably that one of the boat girls who fled with her was captured alive in Shannan, but could not survive the interrogation and confessed her location.

It takes time for Wu Tang to gather the masters and then travel from southern Shanxi to here.

But our journey from Taiyuan to here is shorter than theirs.

In short, it is now a process of competing for time.

So, after we rushed from Zhenwu Temple to the northwest of Shanxi, I didn’t even have time to go back to my house to take a look. Fortunately, I was more familiar with this place than the people in Huachuan and knew how to walk faster. I drove straight to the main peak, Luya.

At the foot of the mountain, the car was parked in the scenic area, and then a group of people led the group over the guardrail of the scenic area and plunged into the vast wilderness.

By the time we approached the peak where Guandi Temple is located, it was already midnight.

It's very dark in the mountains. In this extremely dark environment, with a little bit of light, you can see clearly. I can't even see the outline of the mountain where Guandi Temple is located, but I can see a faint light on the top of the mountain, which is especially full of light.

Like the light of a lighthouse shining on the foggy sea, it was most likely the fire that Zhao Xiaodao and the others lit for warmth.

Northwest Shanxi is a land of bitter cold, much colder than that of Taiyuan, especially in the deep mountains. In the hot summer, you have to wear autumn clothes and long trousers when going to the mountains. Let alone going into the mountains in the ninth cold weather, how many of us are there?

The whole body has been frozen to the bone, and the mountains are silent except for the howling of the cold wind and the rustling of the pine trees.

Besides, no other sound was heard.

"It seems... we should have caught up!"

Lao Bai was extremely diligent and always walked in the front.

"There is another possibility, that is, we arrived very late, everyone has been killed, and now the people from Wutang are sitting on the top of the mountain with the corpses of those women warming themselves and resting!"

Brother Yaozi sneered and said that he had always spared no effort in stimulating Lao Bai.

Lao Bai's brisk footsteps paused and he didn't respond. He just walked forward silently with his head hanging down.

After walking for a while, the top of the mountain where the Guandi Temple is located is very close. I know that there is a road on that mountain. It should have been steps paved with bluestones, leading directly to the Guandi Temple on the top of the mountain, but no one has taken care of it for many years.

, the steps were seriously damaged, and some places were simply buried, intermittently, but there was only one way up the mountain. I kept using the compass to confirm the direction and led them closer to that road.

When the distance was close enough, for safety reasons, I had closed my eyes, and my energy filled the air instantly.

Almost at the same time, a group of rapidly disintegrating and disappearing popularity broke into my viewing world.

That's a person!

Whoosh!

I opened my eyes suddenly, raised my hand and pushed through the dense tangled pine branches, and soon found the person.

This is a woman, a woman about thirty or forty years old, her hair is messy, her scalp is torn near her temples, she is lying in the fallen leaves, her body is twitching, her neck is cut open

A large amount of blood gushed out. It looked like someone had pulled his hair from behind and then wiped his neck with a knife.

The thing...should have happened not long ago!!

I glanced at the long drag marks on the ground, and an idea immediately came to my mind -

This is a person from the Liumen, probably someone close to Zhao Xiaodao. Someone touched her while keeping watch at night. After wiping her neck, the person dragged her by her hair into the densest pine forest to hide the body.

To avoid being discovered.

I walked over quickly and knelt down in front of the woman.

The woman's pupils were already dilated, her neck was cut open, and she made a "gurgling" sound in her throat. She seemed to be dying, but when she saw me, her dull eyes lit up!

She...knows me!

This made me even more sure of what I was thinking. This is the person from Liumen. The person who sent me the text message is probably Zhao Xiaodao. The people under her must have seen my photos and know what I look like!

Snapped!

This woman seemed to have come back to her senses. She suddenly grabbed my wrist with such strength that her nails almost dug into my flesh. Her eyes were wide open. She must have done it very quickly when wiping her neck, but she didn't.

Her voice was completely cut off, and with blood foaming at the corner of her mouth, she said with difficulty and difficulty: "Wu...Wu Tang, here we come, so...many people...be careful, hurry, hurry...save people!"

After speaking, she seemed to have exhausted all her life force, tilted her head, and died.
