There are corpse mushrooms growing under the pillars of the Guandi Temple.
What kind of international joke is this?
Moreover, the old man’s hands are very suspicious.
Now that I see the corpse mushrooms, I no longer believe him.
But I didn't show it, and I didn't continue to look at the corpse mushroom.
I turned to look at the old man with a smile, and then turned to look outside the temple.
After taking two steps out, I closed my eyes and sensed the bottom of the pillar.
What surprised me was that I couldn't sense the dirt.
It was as if there was a black wall blocking my face.
I couldn't see at all. to anything.
I naturally took the cigarette and stuffed it into my mouth.
I acted very naturally, but my heart was pounding.
If my guess was correct, there must be a coffin or even a corpse under the ground.
The two pillars are round and made of solid wood.
They cannot be coffin wood, so the possibility that there is something wrong with the pillars themselves is ruled out, so the problem must come from the ground.
Does this old man know what's underground?
Or is he not clear either?
I hesitated for a long time whether I should have a showdown with him or not.
After much deliberation, I had no time and couldn't waste it any longer.
I had to finish the things here quickly so that I could find Yuelan.
Finally, I gritted my teeth and felt relieved, then turned around and entered the door again.
I pointed at the corpse mushroom under the pillar and said, "I have a question for you, what is it?"
The old man turned his head and looked over.
He was surprised at first, then smiled and said, "That's a kind of fungus."
"What fungus?"
I asked again.
He looked into my eyes, still smiling slightly, and his eyes were calm.
I thought he was being careless, but I didn't expect him to spit out two words: "Mushrooms."
I was so shocked that I opened my mouth.
How could he say this thing in front of me?
I asked him in disbelief: "Since we know this thing, we must also know the environment in which this thing grows.
What about the thing under the pillar?"
How to explain?”
"Agaricus is a fungus that grows on coffins or corpses."
The old man smiled slightly, then pointed to the door and said, "There is a temple tablet in the lower corner of the wall on the left side of the door.
You can tell by looking at it."
I took a few steps back, exited the door, and then glanced at the wall on the left.
Sure enough, there was a temple tablet at the bottom.
It was square and had densely packed small characters on it.
I took a closer look and frowned slightly.
Xiayang Guandi Temple was built in May 1949 and rebuilt on March 9, 1980 to commemorate the heroic sacrifice of the revolutionary guerrillas of Xiayang Village, Ludao during the Anti-Japanese War.
Five members of the guerrillas, Guan Dapeng, Zhang Huanda, Zhao Qunshan, Huang Shisheng, and Ma Dongsheng, were killed by the Japanese on May 7, 1941 and their bodies were buried in the wilderness.
No one dared to collect the bones until May 1949.
Only then did they raise funds to prepare five coffins, bury the five people on the spot, and build the Guandi Temple to commemorate the heroic deeds of the five people.
In 1959, the Xiayang Guandi Temple was destroyed by man-made fire.

With the approval of the Ludao City Government, it was rebuilt on March 9, 1980.
Then there were the main deeds of five people below.
I just glanced at them briefly before walking in the door again and frowning at the old man.
"That's not quite right."
I said.
The old man was slightly surprised and asked me: "What's wrong?"
"It is true that corpse mushrooms grow on coffin boards or corpses, but there are conditions.
The prerequisite is the nutrients from the corpse.
If the corpse has turned into bones and is then put into the coffin for burial, whether it is bones or It is impossible for coffins to grow mushrooms, because the bones have no nutrients and are absorbed by the coffin.
I looked at the old man with a sneer and asked him, "Is that right?"
The old man was startled at first, stared at me for a long time, and then laughed and said, "It's not easy.
It's really good that you can have such knowledge at such a young age."
"Don't interrupt, just tell me the truth."
I looked into the old man's eyes.
The old man put the cigarette into his mouth, took a puff, then exhaled it slowly, and then said: "Yes, mushrooms cannot grow without nutrition.
The five coffins below were originally used to bury five guerrillas."
Yes, but later I collected their bones and sent them to Xiayang Ancestral Hall, paying a one-hundred-year deposit."
"Then who is buried here?"
I pointed to the bottom of the pillar and said, "This should have been buried in recent years."
The old man thought for a moment and said, "They are the five people from the Five Tigers class."
"What?"
I looked at the old man in disbelief and said, "They are all dead.
How did they die?"
"Maybe it's retribution.
They all died from the plague."
The old man said this with no expression on his face.
I didn't say anything else.
What the old man meant was that they spread the plague during their lifetime, but in the end they themselves caught the plague and died.
This was retribution.
So it means that the old man knew that they were promoting the puppet show by spreading the plague, but just now he said he didn't know, which was obviously a lie to me.
"Then who are you?"
I asked him sharply.
"I am just a temple guardian."
The old man smiled lightly.
"Junior Brother Zhao, you are well."
At this moment, another voice came from outside the temple.
Upon hearing this voice, the old man's body suddenly trembled.
He turned his head and looked out the door in disbelief, and saw three people walking towards him.
An old man older than him, with white hair, white eyebrows and a white beard, was leaning on a faucet.
Behind this person was a man and a woman, the pair of rookie brothers and sisters I let go just now.
Miao Zhu looked at these three people, especially the old man who took the lead, and finally sneered: "You're not dead yet."
"You're not dead yet, how could I die first?"
The old man on crutches also smiled coldly and said, "I came here specifically to see you off."
Miao Zhu was expressionless at first, but after a while, he smiled, but did not refute, and just let out a long sigh.
The old man on crutches looked at him and said, "I just want to ask you one thing.

Did you cause the plague these days?"
"Half yes, half no."
Miao Zhu said.
"How do you say it?"
the old man asked urgently.
"Half of it was caused by the evil god Tai Sui.
I can cure the plague he spreads."
Miao Zhu then turned to look at me, forced a smile and said, "Do you think you can cure it completely?"
"What do you mean?"
I looked at him in surprise.
"Even if there is even a trace of the virus attached to a mouse or mosquito, it may spread again.
Once the mouse dies and the body rots, the plague virus will resurgence."
Miao Zhu said.
"How do you know this?"
I looked at him in surprise.
The old man on crutches added: "He has studied plagues all his life and spread them all his life.
How could he not know?"
"You mean he is one of the members of the Five Tigers" I opened my mouth.
"Well, if I guess correctly, one of the five coffins in the ground is empty and prepared for himself." said the old man on crutches
