The gargoyle didn't move, just turned its blank face at me, as if staring at me.

I wondered what was in the ancient temple and it was not clear what was going on, and instead of taking the risk alone, it would be better to let this spirit explore the way first, and if the situation was not right, I could slip away at any time.

"You can't come in because you're afraid of this?"

I pointed first to the door god on the door, and then to the stone lion at the bottom of the stairs.

The spirit didn't speak, just nodded repeatedly.

The image of the door god and the stone lion have the effect of driving away evil spirits and avoiding evil, which can be said to be used to protect this ancient temple, and it is normal for spirits to dare not approach.

"What do you need me to do?" I asked again.

The gargoyle pointed to the door god pattern, and then stretched out his hand to block his eyes, of course, just to make this gesture, after all, it has no eyes.

Sometimes I wonder how it can see the road without eyes.

"You're trying to get me to block their eyes?" I asked again.

The spirit began to nod again and again, although the contact was not long, the two of us actually cultivated a trace of tacit understanding.

No opening, no eyes, just a simple movement, I can guess its thoughts, it's so witty.

Since you want the spirit to be cannon fodder to explore the way, you naturally have to show a little sincerity.

Soon, I took out a few pieces of cloth and blocked the eyes of the door god and the stone lion respectively.

They can't see, so naturally they won't be embarrassed by the stone spirits.

It's strange to say, when the door god and the stone lion are separated, the bizarre feeling of being stared at suddenly disappears.

And the stone spirit in the distance also seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and began to slowly approach.

Almost every step you take, you have to pause, for fear of disturbing something.

There is a big gap between people, I know, but I didn't expect that there would be such a gap between God and God.

This spirit has been a yin god and has received the smell of incense, but he didn't expect that when facing the murals of the two door gods, he would be so frightened that he almost didn't even dare to enter the temple door.

Of course, I won't be bored enough to make fun of the other party, I really have to sacrifice my situation to think about it, I'm afraid I'll be a little more cowardly.

After being blindfolded, the door god and the stone lion also lost their due effect.

The spirit made it all the way to the door, undisturbed.

"Why don't you go in first and explore the way, and I'll give you the wind here?"

When the spirit entered the door, I couldn't help but be cheeky.

After all, this ancient temple is still unknown to me, I don't know what is in the ancient temple, and I don't know how big the ancient temple is.

The spirit is obviously not stupid, and naturally will not agree to my proposal, but gestures that you go first, and I am so angry that I grit my teeth.

If I'm willing to take the risk myself, and let you in and fart?

"You have to go, you have to go, you have to go if you don't go!"

My tone was so firm that I couldn't refute it at all.

The spirit wanted to shake its head and refuse, but under the caress of my soul chain, it finally agreed.

I wrapped the chain around my wrist while holding the strange white lantern.

This white lantern looks tattered, but the quality is surprisingly good, it has been stumbling, there is no sign of collapse, and the candle in the cage is as bright as ever.

Whether it is the wind blowing or all kinds of tumbling, it has not been extinguished, but there is a tendency to burn more and more.

It is now known that the white lantern has the ability to restrain ghosts, so as long as the light is on, ordinary ghosts dare not approach it at all.

Although it restrains ghosts, it has no effect on some physical monsters, such as the mountain spirits, at least the one next to me, who doesn't react to the white lantern, at most he just doesn't like the light.

Before entering the mountain, Tang Yuying and I both took a lantern.

My lantern had dead words written on it, and she had new words written on it, and no one but her could light the lantern with the new words.

This is a very strange thing about me, and I always feel that there is something special about these two lanterns.

It's just that this mystery is obviously not something that can be solved now.

Estimated time, Tang Yuying and the others should have reached the vicinity of the ancient temple, with Song Qian on the side to protect them, as long as they don't encounter any big bosses, there should be no accidents.

Only now, I'm not sure if they set foot in the ancient temple.

The ancient temple is so huge, the so-called main gate, there should be more than one.

Judging from the handwriting on the plaque before, it should be the east gate that I just walked into.

If there is an east gate, then there should be a south gate, a west gate, and a north gate.

If they enter through another door and keep going, there will always be a chance to meet.

With Song Qian's protection and the white lantern in Tang Yuying's hands, I believe that they should be more than capable of protecting themselves, and I don't need to worry too much.

Now, I need to be on the lookout for movement around me at all times.

Because since I entered the temple gate, the temperature around me has dropped a lot, and every breath has begun to bubble white.

The space of this ancient temple is very large, and after entering the gate, I can only vaguely see the outlines of some buildings in front of me by the light of white lanterns.

The ground inside the ancient temple is paved with a layer of black soil, the kind that is relatively soft, and walking on it is as if stepping on the beach, leaving a shallow footprint with every step.

After walking some distance, I realized that at the end of the road directly ahead, another door appeared.

To the left and right of the door, there is also a temple wall.

The inner temple wall is slightly shorter than the outermost temple wall, but it is still eight or nine meters high, and this layer of temple wall also has no end in sight, and I don't know where Yansheng has been.

For this wall-within-a-wall pattern, I think more and more of ancient cities.

In other words, this ancient temple itself was built according to the exception of the ancient city.

Majestic and magnificent, it is also divided into four gates in the southeast, northwest and northwest, among the four gates, there are inner and outer city walls to connect, even if there is a war, as long as the believers hide in the temple, they can survive.

I looked around and found that there were no traps between the temple walls and the temple walls.

Otherwise, it will be a turtle in an urn, and it will die as many as it comes.

Compared to the temple wall outside, the second layer of the temple wall is slightly smaller, but it also looks stronger and thicker.

The gate of the second layer of the temple wall is very similar to the gate of the first layer of the temple wall, except that there is no stone lion, and there is no door god on the door, only a broken copper lock is left.

I walked to the door, studied it carefully for a while, and found that there were no traps, so I put my hands on the door and pushed hard.

"Click"

The brass lock snapped, a large amount of dust shook off the door, and my hands, on the broad door, left two clear palm prints.

With a creak, the door slowly opened to the sides.

Soon, a soft light came out of the door*.

The light was very weak and not dazzling, but in this dark environment, it was like a guiding light, which immediately attracted my attention.

I looked through the crack in the door, and the first thing I saw was a bluestone road.

Pieces of bluestone two meters long and short paved a clean and tidy road on the black earth.

After being illuminated by the white lanterns, these bluestones will faintly glow, and they are as beautiful as ancient jade, which is pleasing to the eye.

Big, definitely big!

This was my first reaction in my heart, although I don't know these bluestone stairs, they should be worth a lot of money when they look at them. But thinking about it, to be able to build such an ancient temple comparable to a city is naturally not a bad lord.

Looking forward along the bluestone staircase, there is a huge incense burner.

The incense burner was at least one person tall and filled with incense.

Those incense sticks were long and short, thick and thin, taller than a person, short as the little finger, so thick that it was difficult to hold in one hand, and as thin as a hair.

This large incense burner looks like a bronze tripod with a simple shape, engraved with patterned runes, and ears standing on both sides.

The large incense burner is on the bluestone staircase, facing the position of the gate.

As long as it is a person who enters the door and walks on the bluestone steps, he will inevitably not be able to get around this incense burner.

This also implies that if you want to enter the temple, you must first burn incense and give some incense money.

The most important point is that when we enter the door, the incense in the incense burner is still burning, and the little light I just saw inside the door is the red candle in the incense burner.

Seeing this scene, I couldn't help but feel a sudden burst in my heart.

Could it be that there are still people burning incense and worshipping God in this ghost place?

No, how can anyone exist in this barren mountain and wilderness?

And I don't know how many years this ancient temple has existed, even if there are people nearby, but when we came in just now, the door was full of dust, which means that no one has ever entered.

So the question is, who lit these incense and who burned it?

It had been quiet inside, and there was no movement except for the dancing flames.

Looking forward along the large incense burner, there is a more orthodox temple, although this temple is not splendid, but it is also the peak of incense.

The main hall of the temple is also several times larger than the average one, and it is filled with various idols of gods.

But to be honest, I don't know any of these gods, or rather, the carved gods and statues are not linked to the gods and Buddhas known to the public, and there are no Jade Emperors, Guanyin Masters, Buddhas, Eighteen Arhats, etc.

Most of the things in this temple are not kind things.

On the contrary, some are particularly hideous.

In particular, the statue of the god facing the big incense burner in the center obviously has the figure of a Buddha, but it has a hideous and terrifying grimace.

And the posture is weird, and it looks very fierce, as if it wants to eat people.

Although this statue has a fierce face, it is the tallest, and in the temple, it has the most incense in front of it.

From this point of view, there should be many believers in it.

The whole temple is lit with lanterns and candles, which illuminate the scene inside the temple very clearly, as if to welcome something.

I didn't venture into it, after all, this was not an amusement park, this brightly lit temple was obviously an anomaly in this place, and there was no doubt that there was something hidden in it.

I peeked through the crack in the door and began to look around, trying to see something else.

However, except for the place where the candle was lit, the rest of the place was pitch black and could not be seen at all.

A bluestone road, a large incense burner, and a temple dedicated to many gods and Buddhas.

In an ordinary place, seeing such a scene is nothing.

But in this wilderness, uninhabited area, such a picture has to make people be cautious and vigilant.

Although I can't see the plaque hanging on the temple in the distance, I always feel that inside, it is like the Lanruo Temple in A Chinese Ghost Story, it is easy to enter, but it is difficult to get out.

"Come here!"

After observing for a long time to no avail, I beckoned to the stone spirit behind me.

The gargoyle farts staggered up.

I pointed to the temple inside and asked, "Is there anything strange in there?"

The gargoyle nodded, then shook its head.

"Damn, what do you mean?"

The gargoyle spread its hands, as if to say that it was not clear.

"I can't see anything, so what do I want you for?"

I was a little upset, so I pointed to the temple and said, "You!

As soon as he heard this, the gargoyle immediately began to shake his head frantically, shaking his head like a rattle.

While shaking his head, he made a gesture for me to go in first.

"Fuck your uncle! I've been a yin god anyway, why are you so greedy for life and afraid of death? Can you show some man's courage?"

I stretched out my hand and was about to fight, "Do you want to go, don't you go, the old man will slap you with one palm!"

Under my coercion and temptation, the gargoyle could only succumb.

But look at its appearance, it's like a frosted eggplant, it's a sigh.

Isn't it a little too cruel?

It occurred to me that I had an idea.

"Go with confidence, I'll cover you. ”

I began to comfort it: "If something is wrong, you can find a safe place inside and shout, if I can hear it, I will definitely help you cry for help......!
