Chapter 240

This shows that there are still villagers living in the deep mountains.

Maybe Nan'aoke Village is just a "village outside the mountain", and it is not certain that there are other mysteries in the mountain.

In the past, the population was relatively scattered, and some villagers would go to the deep mountains to reclaim wasteland, and build houses on the mountain ridges in the form of families to hoard fields. When they needed to buy, they would go out of the mountains along the path and go to the villages and towns.

Zong Ze once watched a documentary about some houses in the deep mountains that were not connected to electricity until the beginning of the 21st century, and the voltage was still unstable.

But even though the living conditions in the deep mountains are so backward, many villagers still choose to live there.

It wasn't until the past ten years that they gradually moved away from the mountains.

This situation is very common in southern Jiangxi, Fujian and northern Guangdong.

Because there are all mountainous areas, as the saying goes, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, and relying on the sea to eat the sea is like this.

Since the local villagers can gain a foothold in the mountains, it means that they can survive, so this is not surprising. The video was shot four years ago. In this ever-changing era, perhaps all the villagers in that mountain have moved Not necessarily gone.

Another point is that the dilapidated and weird Taoist temple is located in the deep mountains and old forests. Perhaps the villagers who used to live there know the origin of the Taoist temple.

Judging from the previous pictures, the Taoist temple may have a history of hundreds of years.

There is wind and rain and no one to take care of it.

The courtyard is overgrown with weeds, and the Taoist temple seems to be framed by wooden beams, using huge rocks in the mountains as the foundation and walls, and a thick layer of straw yellow mud is pasted on the outside.

Under the erosion of the years, the yellow mud on the wall gradually fell off, exposing the rocks and a few rice stalks mixed in the yellow mud.

This craft has a history of at least 200 years, and some Taoist temples have better conditions, either firing blue bricks or whitewashing gravel.

Such simple Taoist temples are rare, not without them, and only a handful of Taoist temples built with this technique can survive to this day.

Zong Ze believed that it should be caused by the remote location of the Taoist temple.

This is not important, he just wants to inquire about the orthodoxy of the black-robed Taoist that Lin Kang said through the Taoist temple.

You must know that the Xia Kingdom has a long history, its cultural origins have been passed down, and there are historical sites in various places.

Taoism is an ancient religion in Xia. It is not the same as Buddhism, and its teachings are relatively enlightened.

Regarding the development of believers, the emphasis is on resignation, and it is not as radical as Buddhism.

The so-called Taoist monks in troubled times go down the mountain, and monks in prosperous times open the door.

Although there are not many Taoist believers who are serious about the Eight Classics, the culture of Taoism is deeply rooted in Xia Kingdom.

Including the journey of cultivating immortals, it also comes from Taoism, and there are many allusions in it.

From nourishing qi to refining qi, to forming alchemy, nascent soul, and even land gods, you can find the source.

If the ancient relics of cultivating immortals in Xia Kingdom have a common origin, then Zongze believes that it must be Taoism.

But Taoism has also extended countless branches and teachings after thousands of years of development.

The mysteries accumulated by religions accumulated over thousands of years are quite complicated. Zongze only knows the superficial meaning and has not studied it systematically.

The weird Taoist temple in the mountain is likely to be a branch of some unpopular.

Judging from the black-robed Taoist's behavior of raising Lin Kang and Lan Wenqing in captivity to absorb fear and transform evil things, this view is biased towards evil, and has long deviated from Taoist orthodoxy.

Zong Ze stared at the screen while thinking about the situation.

This video is very long, and the distance into the mountain is also very long, so there was a period of acceleration during the period.

Half an hour of riding on the mountain road was condensed into 10 minutes, passing through steep and difficult places along the way, and the old man of Journey in the Woods even had to get off the car to push it.

The width of the mountain road is about two meters. On one side is the excavated mountain wall, and on the other side is a meandering stream, which is surrounded by gurgling water and flows along with the sound of birdsong.

The scenery is good, but the mountain road is really difficult.

The northern Guangdong men along the way were all naked from the upper body, carrying bamboo baskets and sweating profusely.

From time to time, you can also see paddy fields opened up on the ridges on both sides.

There is no shortage of water sources in the mountains, and various springs and streams emerge one after another. It is a good place for self-cultivation and seclusion in the mountains. When halfway through the journey, several wooden houses scattered on the hillside appeared in the video.

They are all large double-storey wooden houses. The wood used as the main beam is very thick, and the whole body is gray-black, with a metallic texture, more like soaking in the upper layer of grease.

Two or three meters high dry firewood was piled up against the side wall of the house.

Henhouses and pigpens were also built, and ditches were dug at the gates, and the spring water from the mountains flowed into the paddy fields along the ditches.

There are also a few gray-feathered ducks swimming around.

"It's a beautiful place with beautiful mountains and clear waters."

Zong Ze couldn't help but nodded, even through the screen, he could see the quietness there from the video.

Obviously, the villagers who came out of the mountain before should all come from here.

However, Journey in the Woods hadn't reached the destination yet, so he continued along the path.

The further you go, the narrower the road, so you have to be extra careful when riding.

The scenery along the way has also become monotonous.

There are no more villagers coming and going on the road, only the chirping of birds and insects.

Zong Ze pulled the progress bar and saw that Lin Jian You Ji had already pushed his bicycle to an open field in the mountains.

This open land is hidden in the woods, and there are only a few vague paths around it. There are clear traces of trampling on it, and there should be nearby villagers here.

The Taoist temple that Zongze is concerned about is located in the open land in this mountain.

Journey in the Forest stopped the mountain bike by the tree and walked slowly towards the Taoist temple.

Constantly changing the perspective seems to be amazing about it.

"I didn't expect that what the villagers said was true."

"There really is a dilapidated Taoist temple here."

"According to those old people, the Taoist Temple to the Thousand Heart Temple has a history of at least 400 years."

"From before and after Liberation, the orthodoxy has been cut off, and no one is waiting for you."

"The Taoists of Thousand Hearts Temple are very good at dealing with evil spirits, and they are also good at collecting and refining medicines. They have a good reputation around here."

The old man of Journey in the Woods started to explain with the original sound while filming.

It can also be regarded as an alternative video record. After all, memory will decline, but as long as the video is kept properly, it can last for a long time.

After simply recording the situation learned from the villagers.

Travel Notes in the Woods This old man simply walked around the dilapidated Taoist temple.

There is a breast-high earth wall outside the Taoist temple, and several sections have collapsed.

Only the years have destroyed here.

After circling around, he came to the gate and focused on shooting for a while.

The door frame of the gate was embedded in the parapet, and the wooden door was missing. I don't know if it was rotten, or it was chopped down by nearby villagers and brought home as firewood.

There are only scattered door frames left, which look very eye-catching.

Through the door, weeds in the garden can be seen to grow vigorously, and each cluster can reach the knees.

The video stops here.

Obviously, the scene of entering the Taoist temple is not recorded in these two videos.

It is more about the recorded itinerary along the way. In fact, now Zongze is relying on the information he already has.

It can be traced back to the original site at any time, and he can even let Mo Ke drive the light to take him to Nan'aoke Village tonight, and follow the old man's route in the forest travel notes to enter the mountain to find the Taoist temple .

He closed the bounding box of this video, took a deep breath, and opened the third video.

The perspective of this period begins from the journey in the forest into the Taoist temple.

Zong Ze watched the old man stepping on the weeds, his legs rubbed against the weeds and made a "snapping" sound. The side houses on both sides had obvious signs of collapse. Through the collapsed perspective, Zong Ze Ze paused just right, and the video just turned to the right at this time, and the side room on the right began to collapse from the position of the window on a large scale. Through the ruins, you can see the decayed tables and chairs inside. There were beds piled high with rubble.

Journey in the Woods obviously had the same curiosity as him, and walked towards the side room.

Zong Ze resumed the playback of the video, and watched the camera align progressively.

This elder brother of Journey in the Woods is more courageous than he imagined. He actually climbed over the edge of the ruined wall and entered the side house. It seems that there should be something left here, but it is all decayed.

For example, some suspected book scriptures have long since decayed into a pile of black dross.

The same is true in the closet, it seems to find something of value.

However, it can be seen from the remnants of the ruins that Taoists once lived here, and when the people left, they did not take away the things in the house.

His investigation was not very detailed, maybe there were some items left under the ruins.

After exploring for a while, Journey in the Forest left the ruins of the side room.

The angle of the video captured his lower body, and Zong Ze saw that his legs were scratched with bloodstains, as well as traces of dust and soil stains.

Because the old man of Journey in the Woods is a cycling party, he wears cycling shorts.

Walking in the weeds and ruins will inevitably stumble somewhere.

After leaving the house on the right side, he went to the house on the left side. This kind of exploration habit fit Zongze's requirements.

He likes such a detailed investigation, and only in this way can he get more information through the video.

During the period, he also took a few screenshots and prepared to save them for follow-up searches.

Then he refocused his attention on the video. The damage to the side house on the left was obviously lighter than that on the right side, and the porch and the overall structure were relatively complete.

This time, Journey in the Forest can only choose to enter from the main entrance.

He tried to push the severely decayed wooden door, but failed to open it directly.

"Strange, haven't the villagers been here all these years?"

At this time, his self-talking voice suddenly came out of the video.This is also the doubt in Zongze's heart at the moment.

It stands to reason that when Taoists in this place go to watch the sky, the villagers will definitely come and take away useful things.

However, judging from the situation of the right side house and the left side house, it seems that this place has not been ransacked by villagers.

This is somewhat abnormal.

Compared with Zong Ze who can only sit in front of the camera and analyze, the brother of Lin Jian Travel Notes who is in the ruins of Qianxin Temple in the mountains obviously has more things to do.

After pushing the door to no avail, he began to use brute force.

It has been exposed to wind and rain for six to seventy years, and has not received any protection during this period.

Second, this is not a cultural protection unit, even if the archaeological team came and wanted to go in, they had to tear down the walls or doors.

Compared with the former, demolishing the door can better preserve the original appearance of the place.

So I saw the old man in the video of Journey in the Woods take a few steps back, then after a little run-up, he raised his right leg and kicked violently, which kicked open the rotten door bolt.

As the wooden door opened, a puff of dust rushed in.

Journey in the Woods backed away, patiently waiting for the dust to settle.

As the dust fell, everything seemed to calm down.

Brother Journey in the Woods walked into the side room on the left side. The light in the room was rather dim, but this old man was well prepared. There was a rechargeable headlamp hanging on his chest, which was enough to illuminate the Bright most partial houses.

"Cough cough..."

As soon as he walked into the house, the brother in the video let out a light cough.

Obviously, the dust hadn't completely cleared away, and he was choked by the obscure air when he breathed.

Then under the illumination of the light source, the scene of the room on the left side appeared in the video.

There are beds, cabinets, tables and chairs, and a set of wooden frames nailed to the wall, on which a small wooden sculpture is enshrined.

The wood carving is obviously of the same style as the pendant, and it is obviously a totem-like thing enshrined by the Thousand Hearts Temple.

Seeing this scene, Zong Ze couldn't help squinting his eyes, but he was more concerned about whether there would be anything left in the cabinet, on the bed and on the table.

But the video was suddenly edited for a long time. When the picture resumed, the old man from Journey in the Woods was already standing in front of the hall.

This scene made Zongze couldn't help pressing the pause button.

"Strange, why was the exploration video of the room on the left side cut off?"

He muttered to himself, feeling very wrong.

These videos are all unpublished from Travels in the Woods, and they are mainly kept for myself as souvenirs.

So why does he cut off the exploration of the left-hand house every now and then because he sees something scary?

In order not to affect his mood in the future or bring back horrible memories, so he cut it out on purpose?
Zong Ze analyzed to this point, thinking that the possibility is extremely high.

But there may be other reasons, so far he is not clear.

He clicked on the video, and there was a BGM here, but he could still vaguely hear the gasping sound of Journey in the Forest.

Such wheezing sounds are either caused by intense exercise, or the heart rate is increased due to fear, which makes the lungs work faster to alleviate the change in heart rate.

This seems to fit with his previous analysis.

He suppressed the desire to ask questions on WeChat, and continued to watch the video.

The hall in front of you is the real main body of the Taoist temple, and there are many statues enshrined inside.

Among them is the villain who is the same as the pendant.

Speaking of that villain is a bit weird, it is a curled up villain with a tall hat.

The seemingly fearful posture, but with a smile on his face, looks very weird!
And this villain seems to be the symbol of Thousand Hearts!
