A Taoist temple hidden in the mountains.
The sun shines through the dense branches, casting mottled tree shadows on the bluestone.
In the middle of the small courtyard, there is a four-legged bronze tripod.
This bronze tripod is about three meters high. The body of the tripod is carved with dragons and phoenixes, and three incense sticks as thick as arms are inserted inside.
Occasionally, tourists who offer incense come to take photos and then throw a few coins into the merit box beside them.
Next to the merit box stands a twelve or thirteen-year-old Taoist boy. His job is to say a few words of blessing and give them the peace charm he holds in his hand whenever someone comes to make a donation.
This Taoist temple is located in the sparsely populated Liao Cang Mountain, and it is not a famous tourist attraction, so it can only give out a dozen peace charms in a day.
But for some reason today, the sun had only risen three strokes, and the little Taoist boy had already gone through three rounds of the few blessings he had thought up, leaving only two peace charms he had prepared.
This was a little bad. The little Taoist boy touched the back of his head in embarrassment.
He looked around and saw an older Taoist cleaning the courtyard in the west corner.
His eyes lit up, and he quickly gave the remaining two peace charms to a young couple who had just come over. He ran over and called: "Senior brother, senior brother."
The Taoist who was sweeping the floor turned around when he heard the sound and asked calmly: "What's wrong?"
The little Taoist boy turned over his empty little bag and said anxiously: "Brother, there are too many people, and my peace charm is gone."
"Oh?" The Taoist sweeper looked at the Taoist temple, which was obviously more crowded than usual, nodded and said, "It's not peaceful recently, that's why so many people come here."
"Senior brother, what are you going to say?" the little Taoist boy opened his eyes wide and asked.
"It's okay." The sweeper squeezed the broom and pointed him in the direction.
"I'll guard it for you first. You can go to the warehouse and get some out. The warehouse is in the backyard. There are a lot of them there."
"Thank you, senior brother."
The little Taoist boy thanked him and quickly climbed up the stairs and walked in the direction pointed by the floor sweeper.
The young man's legs and feet were fast and he ran like a gust of wind. After a while, he arrived in the backyard.
The backyard is about the same size as the front yard, with a few fruit trees planted sparsely.
The warehouse is located in the corner of the courtyard. Next to the warehouse is a room that is locked all year round. Only the head of the Taoist temple has the key.
There were not many things piled in the warehouse, and he found what he wanted after a while.
In order to avoid running errands again, Xiaodaotong filled his pockets and then left the warehouse with satisfaction.
At this time, he heard a "bang bang" sound coming from another room.
The little Taoist boy stopped, looked at the intact lock on the door, scratched his head, and secretly thought that a mouse might be inside.
He was in a hurry and ran out quickly along the stone road without thinking too much...
In the room separated by a wall, the door is closed, but the candlelight dotted everywhere is swaying in the wind.
Weird formations were drawn on the ground with cinnabar, and a heavy black coffin was placed in the center of the formation.
If the little Taoist boy were in this room, he would definitely be frightened, because the sound just now came from the black coffin with the lid closed.
"boom!"
"Bang bang bang!"
"Bang bang bang bang!"
The sound was getting faster and faster, as if the contents were about to burst out of the coffin.
And as the things in the coffin moved, the white candles in the room began to go out one by one...
Outer courtyard.
"Brother, I'm here. Thank you for your hard work."
The little Taoist boy rushed over and greeted the floor sweeper panting.
"Yes." The sweeper responded indifferently, then picked up the broom to finish the work he had not finished yet.
At this time, a riot broke out among the tourists at the Taoist temple.
Someone shouted: "Look, what is that in the sky?"
Tourists and Taoists who heard the cry looked towards the sky.
I saw that the northeast corner of the Taoist temple was covered with dark clouds, and thunder and rumbles could be heard from time to time.
The dark clouds were so low that one could pull off a piece of it by standing on the roof.
"How scary!" A timid woman among the tourists shouted.
However, some people are dismissive of this: "Isn't it just a dark cloud? Isn't that what it is?"
No matter what they said, they all pointed the camera at the sky with a tacit understanding, took a picture of this strange scene, and posted it on social networking sites with topics such as "Shocked...".
The little Taoist boy looked at the black clouds in the sky with his mouth wide open, and spoke to the people around him: "Brother, what is that!"
However, no one answered his words. When he looked back, he realized that the sweeper had run towards the place where the dark clouds gathered.
He quickly followed: "Senior brother, wait for me!"
"Let's go take a look too."
The little Taoist's voice caught the attention of tourists, and many people were eager to try it out, planning to follow the two of them to join in the fun.
Sudden!
There was a loud bang, and several purple lightning bolts as thick as an adult man's calf struck out from the dark clouds.
These lightning bolts were so powerful that they shook the earth.
After the lightning strike, the black clouds in the sky quickly dispersed, and the sky returned to its previous state.
The whole process only took about a minute, and all the tourists who witnessed it were stunned.
It took a moment for someone to react:
“I have the full version of the video and I’m going to make headlines!!”
"Damn it! Which fellow Taoist is experiencing calamity here?"
"Hey, so good!"
"Who said you wanted to go and see it just now? Do you dare to go now?"
"Just go, if there's anything you don't dare to do."
At this time, all the tourists were curious and wanted to go to the Taoist temple to find out.
Unfortunately, they were stopped by the Taoists in the Taoist temple.
The reason is that the lightning strike just caused the house in the backyard to collapse and needs repairs. In order to avoid unnecessary casualties, tourists are strictly prohibited from breaking in.
This caused a lot of discussion among tourists, who quickly posted the video and pictures online.
The Internet spread rapidly. In less than half a day, what happened in this Taoist temple had spread all over the country, causing heated discussions among netizens...
At this time, the little Taoist boy hurried to the backyard with the sweeper, and unexpectedly found that the previously locked room had turned into a pile of ruins.
"This, this, this..." He was so surprised that he couldn't say anything.
The sweeper glanced at him, waved his hand, and the door to the backyard entrance closed with a bang.
Uh uh uh uh uh...
The little Taoist boy blinked, looking confused.
When did our Taoist temple install automatic doors? ?
Just when he was confused, a scene that shocked him appeared.
The rubble in the center of the ruins suddenly began to move, and a slender hand emerged from it.
Immediately afterwards, a dirty woman came out.
The woman exhaled a breath of black air struck by lightning, feeling extremely depressed: "＊＊"
