During the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, there was a broken temple in the north of Qixian County. One of the peculiarities of this temple is that every once in a while, the temple will shine with white light at night. When someone with a good letter went in and checked, there was nothing in it except a few rotten stone statues.
On this day, Zhang Bold from Qixian County made a bet with a handlebar.
Brother Daring, I heard that you have entered the ruined temple in the north of the city? "The handlebar style is named Wang Dong, and he lives next door to Zhang Dakang's house.
Brother, you can ask that. If you want to say that there is no place that you dare not go, as long as you give the silver in place, I can sleep in the ancient tomb for half a year. Zhang boldly bragged, he didn't brag for a day, and he was uncomfortable.
Wang Dong didn't talk nonsense, he took out a penny of silver directly from his arms and slapped it in Zhang Daring's hand.
Brother Daring, I don't believe you can stay for one night. If you survive until dawn tonight, the money will be yours. ”
Zhang Daring's heart blossomed, but he didn't expect someone to give him silver flowers. After a while, I will send my mother-in-law and children back to my parents' house, stay in the broken temple, and buy some delicious food for my mother-in-law after the money is in hand.
The two agreed, and the villagers who had good things next to them advised Zhang to be bold, don't take risks, and have children and mothers-in-law. If you take your life, how do you let them live?
Zhang Daring didn't care about his face, and he would go to get the old man's fire gun in a while, I'm afraid of your ball.
Set up the mother-in-law of the family, bring the fire gun, and come to the evening in a blink of an eye. The moon was covered by dark clouds overhead, and the surroundings were gray.
One foot deep and one foot shallow, Zhang boldly entered the broken temple. Zhang Daring always came to this broken temple to rest during the day, and it was the first time he came here at night. The temple is full of broken wood, with several stone statues scattered around it, and some thatched grass spread on the ground. Zhang Daring picked a corner and lay down.
At this time, the dark clouds dispersed, and the moon could be seen through the roof of the temple. Strange cries sounded around from time to time, and Zhang Daring couldn't help but be a little nervous at this time.
Gradually entered the third watch, Zhang Daring fell asleep. When I was half asleep and half awake, I felt a biting coldness on my body.
Zhang Daring opened his eyes in a daze, only to see a burst of white light rising from the corner of the room, and a stone statue stood up in the white light, looking at him with blazing eyes.
Zhang Daring, do you know what crime you have committed? The stone statue's voice was loud, and it shook Zhang Dada's eardrums.
You are ......You are ......"No matter how bold Zhang is bold, he can't stand the weirdness in the temple. It took a long time for a few words to pop out of his mouth.
This god is stationed in this temple, Zhang Daring you have offended the gods. Today, God spared you, you come and kowtow. With that, the stone statue moved a little towards Zhang Daring.
Kowtow? Zhang Daring stabilized his mind and saw the escape route. With a "bang" with a firearm in his hand, he put it at the stone statue, turned around and ran.
At this time, the rooster crowed, and it was dawn.
Wang Dong lived in a dilapidated thatched hut outside the temple, and got up early to wait for the white light in the temple. Seeing the white light flashing in the broken temple, I was overjoyed. General Tiangong's task was completed again, so Mei Zizi rushed home.
Besides, Zhang Daring ran to his father-in-law's house in one go, and his mother-in-law Wang saw that his face was pale and hurriedly asked him what was wrong.
Zhang Daring told what happened, and the father-in-law next to him said, Daring, you have encountered a monster. I know the Taoist Qian of Qingyouguan and ask him to go to the demon subjugation.
At noon on the second day, the father-in-law invited Qian Daochang into the house, and the Taoist chief frowned after hearing this, and said: "Zhang Daring, Zhang Daring, you are not small." Good thing you didn't go near the idol. Recently, a lot of people have been lost, and it is estimated that they have all been harmed by the gods.
And Wang Dong, who bet with you, is not a good person, I'm afraid it wasn't his game. ”
When he went to the ruined temple, the Taoist chief said that the stone statue had become a climate, and ordered someone to smash the stone statue. At the same time, he sent someone to tie up Wang Dong and asked him to tell the truth.
It turned out that Wang Dong lived in a broken temple a few years ago, and he encountered a stone statue that was shining. The statue promised to bring in a man and give him some silver. Wang Dongcai was obsessed with his mind and kept leading people to the broken temple.
When they heard this, they almost beat him to death, and finally sent him to the government for punishment.
Qian Daochang ordered people to tear down the ruined temple and build several tombstones. Since then, no strange things have happened here, and Zhang Daring is not bold, and he honestly works as a farmer.
