Chapter 358 Wang Ji Shoucheng Store (ninth update)

Zhendong District leads to the urban-rural fringe of Guangming Town.

Jubao Hutong, XX Street.

A taxi stopped outside the alley. There were two people sitting in the car, and the passenger was Zhang Yu. He looked for Wudang Taoist Temple according to the address he got yesterday. The address said it was No. 33 Jubao Hutong. He came along the road and didn't see any Taoist temple on the side of the road.

"Brother, this is Jubao Alley. Where is the place you mentioned?" the driver said.

"I'll get out of the car and ask around." Zhang Yu said.

With that said, he made a gesture to get out of the car.

"Wait a minute..." The driver glanced at the meter and coughed deliberately, "It's already 540. Did you give the money first..."

There were shabby bungalows along the road, and there were small alleys everywhere. He was also worried that Zhang Yu would get in and ask for money from someone.

Zhang Yu took out the money from his pocket and paid the fare before getting off the bus.

There is a dilapidated yard next to it. On the door of the yard is written "Jubao Scrap Collection Station" and there is a big word "Demolish" on the wall. It looks like it is about to be relocated. Zhang Yu went directly to the purchasing station and saw an old man sorting out the rags in the yard.

"Hello, uncle." Zhang Yu greeted politely.

The old man turned around and said, "Young man, I'll accept everything. Are you going to sell something?"

"I would like to ask you if there is a Taoist temple here." Zhang Yu said politely.

"Taoist temple..." The old man scratched his head and seemed to remember something, and said: "There used to be a Taoist temple, but later it was banned and turned into a longevity food store. Now...it seems that there is no one there..."

"There's no one left? No way..." Zhang Yu couldn't help being surprised.

"Anyway, I feel like there is no one left. Most of the residents here have moved away and are waiting for demolition. Otherwise, you can go in and have a look yourself and walk in along the small alley on the side. It is at the bottom of the mountain. "The old man said, pointing to a mountain not far behind.

"Thank you, uncle."

Zhang Yu left the purchasing station, sent the taxi away, and went in along the alley.

This road is really difficult to walk, with twists and turns. It is full of dilapidated bungalows, some of which are about to collapse, and many of the houses are unoccupied. The word "Demolish" is written on almost all the walls.

At noon, Zhang Yu finally came to the foot of the mountain. There was a large courtyard here. There was a dry creek in front of the courtyard, and an arch bridge was built over the creek. It was in tatters.

It can be seen that the yard is old. It used to be a Taoist temple, but now, there is a broken sign hanging on the door, which says - Wang Ji Shou Material Store.

His master, Lao Wangtou, owned a longevity food shop. Zhang Yu didn't think it was strange. He crossed the bridge to the door and knocked hard.

"Bang!"

He only knocked once, but unexpectedly, the courtyard door opened slightly.

"I didn't even lock the door..." Zhang Yu muttered, then shouted loudly, "Is there anyone? Is there anyone?"

After a while, there was no response.

Zhang Yu wondered, if there is no one, the door is not locked. What is going on? If there was someone there, there was no sound at all.

He pushed the door open again, and the courtyard door creaked open. Looking inside, the yard was empty, which was called a depression.

Looking further inside, I saw the main hall facing me. Even from a distance, I couldn't tell what was inside, but it just seemed eerie.

Waves of cool wind blew out from inside, making Zhang Yu feel chilly.

On the left and right sides are the wing rooms, which, like the main hall, are of ancient style and full of decay. There is a wind chime hanging in the corner of the room, which occasionally sounds when the wind blows. It may be because there is no one inside, or it may be too empty that it can make an echo.

"Is there anyone? Is there anyone?" Zhang Yu shouted loudly again. It was quiet inside, and it was deserted even in broad daylight.

Zhang Yu was wondering whether he should go in now.

It was hard to find the place, and I didn't even see the shadow of my uncle. I would definitely not be willing to go back like this.

A moment later, Zhang Yu stepped into the courtyard, still shouting loudly: "Is there anyone? Is there anyone?"

What answered him was the faint echo in the yard.

The doors of the two wing rooms are all closed, with glass above them, and you can see many paper figures and wreaths facing them. Even if it is daytime, ordinary people will be scared if they see this in this situation. But Zhang Yu was used to seeing this, so he didn't think anything of it.

He has extraordinary six senses, and with the improvement of his skills after drinking snake blood, his six senses have improved a step further. It is so quiet here, if there is any disturbance, it will definitely not escape his ears.

Walking forward slowly, we arrived in front of the main hall. The main door of the main hall is open. It was far away before and could not see clearly the clues inside. Now it is close and can be seen clearly.

The plaque on the main hall reads "Wudang Main Hall". The hall is very empty, with only the sacred table in front and the statue of the god behind. Enshrined here is a statue of a female Taoist. The woman has white hair and white clothes. She is majestic and beautiful. I just don’t know what kind of great god this is.

In my impression, don’t all Taoist temples worship the Three Pure Ones?

Zhang Yu muttered to himself and looked around. There was a corner door on the left and right sides, presumably leading to the back hall. Zhang Yu strolled over and entered the corner door.

As expected, there was also a spacious hall inside, but there were no windows, no sunlight, and it was very dark. Only the corner door had some light.

He took out his mobile phone and used the flashlight function to illuminate it. He could barely see that there was also a mystery case in the apse, but there was a dark coffin placed in front of the mystery case.

"What does it mean?"

Zhang Yu was startled at first, then became more curious and walked over slowly.

It was eerily quiet inside, with no movement at all. All Zhang Yu could hear was his own slight footsteps. As he got closer and closer, Zhang Yu discovered that the coffin had no lid and was just a coffin. When he came closer, he shined a flashlight and looked inside a few times. There was nothing inside, it was an empty coffin.

Zhang Yu was puzzled again. It was strange for his uncle to leave an uncovered coffin here.

Then I thought of my master, Lao Wangtou, and it seemed to be similar.

He then looked up at the divine case, wanting to see what was enshrined on it.

There is a statue of a Taoist enshrined on the altar behind the sacred case. The Taoist looks to be in his twenties, masculine and handsome, holding a Ruyi in his hand. There seemed to be some words engraved on the altar at his feet.

Zhang Yu took a closer look and found that it should be a poem.

The poem says: Hongmeng judged me to be the most respected person in the world, and Xuanhuang evolved to refine the true god. He was the leader of the creation of the world, and Hunyuan was born with a single thought.

There is a Taoist boy on the left and right sides of the Taoist, and there is also a big buffalo with a Bagua pattern on its head.

The four statues are in dilapidated condition, with half of their colors peeled off.

Zhang Yu secretly thought that this should be one of the Three Pure Ones.

But at this stall, behind him, a woman's sinister voice suddenly sounded, "Who are you?"

When Zhang Yu heard this voice, his scalp felt numb. It was so quiet here, with no movement at all. His six senses were so clear. If there were footsteps, he would have heard them long ago.

Zhang Yu was a little nervous, but still said: "I, I'm here to find someone..."

As he spoke, he turned around and took the photo with his phone.

This photo was great, even though Zhang Yu was very brave, he was quite frightened.

The woman standing behind was dressed in white, with white hair, a pale face, and a pair of blood-red eyes.
