Guanzhong Tomb Robbery Notes

Chapter 382 Threshold, You’re Finally Here

Knock on the door?

This is the gate with white paper lanterns hanging on it.

Nothing seems right.

God knows if there will be something weird popping out from behind the door.

"Brother Dong, check the time."

"Let's wait until midnight and knock on the door."

Many people think that midnight starts at twelve o'clock in the morning.

In fact, midnight is the period from 11pm to 1am.

If calculated according to the twelve hours.

After 11pm it's a new day.

"Knock on the door at midnight?" Boss Dong's voice trembled.

"That was when the yin energy was at its heaviest..."

crunch.

The gate of Wong Tai Sin Temple suddenly made a sharp, teeth-grinding sound.

Then the two doors slowly opened.

Boss Dong hid behind me.

Both hands tightly grabbed my right arm.

After a moment, he trembled and stuck half of his head out from behind me to look inside the door.

I'm also observing the situation inside the door.

the strange thing is.

There was no one inside the door.

The two doors seemed to open automatically.

"Gulp!" Boss Dong swallowed hard.

He whispered in my ear, "Why didn't I see anyone opening the door?"

"Could this door have become a spirit?"

"Or was it a ghost that opened the door for us?" Boss Dong's voice was almost filled with tears.

I suppressed the uneasiness in my heart and walked towards the door.

Boss Dong immediately panicked.

He pulled my arm and shouted, "What are you doing?"

"Don't barge in!"

"If no one responds after we shout twice, we'll leave immediately!"

tread.

I stepped on the stone steps.

A chilly wind blew out from the door.

Cold, bitingly cold.

Crash.

Suddenly, yellow paper money flew all over the sky.

Yellow paper money flutters in the wind.

Some fly up to higher sky, while others spin and are blown out of the door by the wind.

Snapped.

A piece of yellow paper money flew into my face, blocking my view.

Boss Dong shouted in panic: "Paper money, yellow paper money!"

"They are all yellow paper money burned for the dead!"

"Something happened! Something must have happened at the Wong Tai Sin Temple!"

"Let's hurry..."

Boss Dong suddenly stopped talking in the middle of his speech, as if something was stuck in his throat and he couldn't make a sound.

But I could still hear his heavy breathing.

"Brother Dong, what's wrong with you?"

As I asked, I raised my hand and tore off the yellow paper money that was blocking my view.

The moment my fingers touched the yellow paper money.

Suddenly, I felt that my eyes lit up.

Even through the yellow paper money, you can still see the bright red light.

Wow!

The yellow paper money that was in the way was pulled down.

The moment my vision returned, I couldn't help but shiver.

There was originally no one inside the Wong Tai Sin Temple.

But in the short one or two seconds when my vision was blocked, eight paper figures holding torches suddenly appeared inside the door!

The eight paper figures are very lifelike.

The four men and four women form pairs, and each pair of paper figures has a different expression.

The first pair of paper figures are facing each other, and the carefully drawn eyebrows and eyes reveal the meaning of love.

If a real person had such an expression, they would definitely be a young couple.

The second pair of paper figures each have their heads tilted at a forty-five degree angle.

This angle allowed their greedy eyes to be staring at me at the same time.

I felt those greedy eyes were circling around me!

Weird!

How can paper figures be made so realistic?

I even imagined that the two of them were discussing how to sell me for money.

The third pair of paper figures looked a little silly.

Not the kind of stupidity that makes you stupid or idiotic.

It's not a dull, idiotic, poorly made thing.

On the contrary, this pair of paper figures is more finely crafted than the previous two pairs, and they vividly show an expression of obsession.

It's like the kind of obsession with playing cards or cockfighting or insect fighting.

The expressions of the last pair of paper figures were very ferocious.

His face was twisted with gnashing teeth and his eyes were filled with immense hatred.

When I saw this pair of paper figures, I even had some doubts in my heart.

I doubt whether I really killed their entire family.

Otherwise how could they stare at me with such hatred.

Ta-da-da!

The sound of upper and lower teeth knocking against each other came from behind me.

I could clearly feel that Boss Dong behind me was shaking like a sieve.

I put my arm around his shoulders and said casually, "Brother Dong, it's just a paper figure."

"You don't have to react so strongly, right?"

"You see, I'm not afraid at all."

I was afraid he would have a heart attack.

I said this to put him at ease.

Beads of sweat kept sliding down Boss Dong's face.

The back of his clothes was soaked, and he looked like he had just been pulled out of the water.

He leaned limply in my arms.

Panting: "Huff, huff!"

"I, I, I was almost scared to death!"

"I feel like those paper figures are staring at me!"

"Ken, there must be something unclean attached to the paper figure!"

Huh? !

Boss Dong also felt like he was being targeted by the paper man.

Can these paper figures really stare at people with their drawn eyes?

I can't help but think of the paper figurines that Ma Si used to use...

The eight paper figures in front of him were more exquisite than the ones Ma Si had used.

It is also more eerie and evil.

If you say there are ghosts attached to these paper figures, I absolutely believe it!

But what does it mean when the Taoist priest of Wong Tai Sin Temple displays a paper man possessed by a ghost to welcome guests?

Are you trying to embarrass me or test me?

Or maybe Uncle Chen’s face doesn’t count in the Wong Tai Sin Temple?

"Shi, Shitou, let's go!" Boss Dong advised in a trembling voice.

However, I became very interested in Wong Tai Sin Temple.

Judging from these eight paper figures, it can be seen that the Taoist priest here is quite capable.

Maybe they can really help me.

"Brother Dong, if you are afraid, just go back first."

"I'm determined to go to the Wong Tai Sin Temple."

After saying that, I lifted my leg and stepped over the threshold of Wong Tai Sin Temple.

In the past, there was a vertical threshold at the gates of the imperial palace, the mansions of the rich, and temples and Taoist temples.

This threshold was originally erected to prevent rainwater from flowing back and to keep out snakes, insects, rats and ants.

Later it evolved into using thresholds to show majesty.

The higher your status, the higher the threshold will be.

When guests step over the threshold, they usually lower their heads, bend slightly, and lift their feet high to step over the threshold to express their respect for the owner of the house.

Thresholds are also used in Feng Shui.

Use the door threshold to arrange feng shui for wealth.

This also gave rise to the saying "the threshold is too high and the house is a treasure trove".

Of course, the threshold cannot be higher than people.

This sentence simply means that the higher the threshold, the better.

The moment I stepped over the threshold, the cold wind blowing out of the door suddenly stopped.

The yellow paper money fluttering in the sky fell like snow.

I walked between the four pairs of paper figures with caution.

Tapping.

Besides the sound of my footsteps, the only sound was the crackling of the burning torches.

After more than ten steps, I passed between four pairs of paper people.

Nothing unusual happened.

call!

Just as I breathed a sigh of relief, a sinister laugh suddenly sounded behind me.

"whee."

"Who!" I turned around suddenly and looked at the four pairs of paper figures.

"Hahahaha!"

The four pairs of paper figures were shaking slightly, as if they were trembling with laughter.

follow closely.

Their heads slowly turned 180 degrees!

With his back and head facing me at the same time, he let out an extremely sinister laugh!

"Hee hee hee!"

"You're finally here!"
