Siheyuan: tomb robbing? I am serious about hunting.

Chapter 564: Dark and Silent

This temple looks very old. After years of erosion and the baptism of wind and rain, it has become dilapidated. Most of the outer walls of the temple have collapsed, revealing the uneven bricks and stones inside, which are covered with thick moss and various unknown weeds. There is only one door left, hanging crookedly on the door frame, as if it will fall down at any time. The moment Chu Tian saw this temple, his heart was shocked, and a strong sense of familiarity came to his heart. He widened his eyes and looked at the temple carefully. Involuntarily, the dream that appeared repeatedly in countless nights emerged in his mind. In those dreams, he always wandered in a fog and finally came to this mysterious temple. And now, this dream temple actually appeared in front of him, which made him feel shocked and a little inexplicably scared. His heartbeat accelerated involuntarily, and his palms were slightly sweaty, but his strong curiosity still drove him to walk forward slowly. He gently pushed open the shaky door, accompanied by a harsh creaking sound, and an old and damp smell came to his face, making him frown. Walking into the temple, it was dark and silent, filled with a strong smell of decay. The sun shone through the cracks in the dilapidated roof and walls, forming thin beams of light, in which countless tiny dust particles were flying, as if they were a group of ghosts struggling in the dark. The walls around were covered with mottled murals. Due to the erosion of age and humidity, most of them were blurred. Only some strange patterns and distorted figures could be vaguely identified, giving people a weird and mysterious feeling. Chu Tian walked forward cautiously, and every step he took could hear his heavy footsteps echoing in the empty temple. His eyes nervously scanned everything around him, and his heart was full of vigilance. Suddenly, he felt that his breathing became a little difficult, the air seemed to become thinner and thinner, and there was an invisible pressure pressing tightly on his chest. He began to speed up his pace, wanting to leave this place that made him feel uneasy as soon as possible. However, at this moment, his feet slipped and he fell forward. He subconsciously stretched out his hands to support his body, but found that his hands were stuck in a cold and sticky liquid. He looked down in horror and saw a pool of dark red liquid flowing on the ground, emitting a pungent smell, which looked like blood. "What...what is this?" Chu Tian muttered in horror, his voice trembling in the empty temple. He stood up in a panic, trying to escape from this terrible place, but found that his legs seemed to be tightly grasped by something and he couldn't move. He struggled desperately, and sweat kept rolling down his forehead, soaking his clothes. Just when he felt desperate, he suddenly heard a low and weird laugh coming from the depths of the temple. The laugh seemed to come from the depths of hell, cold and gloomy, and creepy. "Who? Who is there?" Chu Tian shouted loudly, his voice full of fear and anger. However, the only answer he got was the chilling laughter and his own violent heartbeat. His breathing became more and more rapid, and his chest seemed to be pressed by a big stone, making it almost impossible to breathe. Blurred double images began to appear in front of his eyes, and his consciousness gradually became blurred. At the moment when he was about to faint, he seemed to see a dark shadow slowly rising from the corner of the temple and floating towards him... Chu Tian slowly opened his eyes and found himself lying on a soft grass. The sun shone warmly on his body, and the breeze blew gently, bringing bursts of fragrance from flowers and plants. He sat up and rubbed his still aching head. Thinking back to the horror experience that happened in the temple before, his heart was still full of fear. He looked around and found himself in a beautiful sea of ​​flowers. The colorful flowers bloomed one after another, like a gorgeous ocean. Butterflies danced among the flowers, and bees were busy collecting nectar. Everything seemed so peaceful and beautiful, as if the previous horror experience was just a nightmare. "Where is this? Why am I here?" Chu Tian muttered to himself. He stood up, patted the dust off his body, and decided to find a way back. He walked forward along a path, his heart full of doubts and uneasiness. As he walked, he suddenly saw a familiar figure appear in front of him. It was an old man in a Taoist robe, standing quietly under an ancient tree, looking at him with a smile. Chu Tian was delighted and hurried forward. "Old man, where is this? How can I go back?" Chu Tian asked anxiously. The old man looked at him with a smile and said, "Young man, this is Taoyuan Valley, a place isolated from the world. It is also a kind of fate that you can come here." "Taoyuan Valley? How did I come here?" Chu Tian asked in surprise. The old man sighed slightly and said, "The temple is shrouded by an evil force, and anyone who enters it will be cursed. It is a blessing in disguise that you can escape." Chu Tian thought of the horror experience in the temple before, and couldn't help feeling scared. He looked at the old man gratefully and said, "Thank you, old man. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid..." The old man waved his hand and said, "You're welcome. Since you are here, take a good rest. I will take you back when you recover your strength." Chu Tian nodded and followed the old man to a small village. The houses in the village are scattered and the villagers are hospitable, with happy smiles on their faces. Chu Tian settled down here, working with the villagers every day, feeling a simple and peaceful life. During the days in Taoyuan Valley, Chu Tian gradually forgot his previous fears and troubles. He found that everything here was so beautiful, without the hustle and bustle of the city, without the pressure and troubles of work, only the purest life and the most sincere emotions. He began to think about his life and reflect on whether what he had pursued before was really meaningful. However, Chu Tian always thought about his family and friends in his heart, and he knew that he could not stay here forever. After living in Taoyuan Valley for a while, he decided to say goodbye to the old man and the villagers and return to his hometown. The old man did not try to stop him, but smiled and gave him a golden bag, saying, "Young man, keep this golden bag.

When you are in danger, open it and it may help you.
