Chapter 504: Human Soul Lamp
"Goddess ......"
Hearing the old woman's words, the middle-aged couple who were supporting her paused for a moment and shouted timidly, very frightened, they seemed unwilling to let the old woman take Wang Yang and them to that place, let alone accompany the old woman to that place.

"It's okay, don't be afraid, the mountain gods can't blame us."
The old woman shook her head, said a word, and walked straight outside the entrance of the village. The middle-aged couple didn't dare to go against the old woman's wishes, so they could only follow alongside.
Wang Yang and the others followed closely behind, followed by the old woman, and they turned back and walked back.
No one expected that the old woman would eventually bring them back to the low mountain temple in front of the entrance to the village.
Standing at the gate of the mountain temple, the middle-aged couple who had been supporting the old woman let go of their hands and no longer dared to follow the old woman to take a step forward.
"Hey."
Looking left and right, the old woman knew that they did not dare to approach the mountain temple, so she did not force them, but walked a few steps forward by herself, standing in front of the dilapidated half-wooden door, stretched out her hands forward, palms upwards as if holding something, maintained this gesture and bowed deeply towards the door, and silently chattered for a while before slowly straightening up.
"Everything you want to know is inside, follow the old woman in."
The old woman turned to look at Wang Yang and after a few of them said a word, she trembled and walked towards the gate of the mountain temple.
With a squeak, the dilapidated wooden door that was only half left didn't wait for the old woman to reach out and push the door, and slowly opened it inward, and at this time Wang Yang and they found out. Inside this dark mountain temple. There seems to be a little bit of light coming through.
They looked at each other. Wang Yang, none of them knew what the hell this old woman was doing, so they could only follow the old woman into this broken temple with questions.
After entering the mountain temple, Wang Yang found that the fragrance of this mountain god was pleasant, which was obviously very different from other ordinary temples, and it was full of weirdness.
First of all, the exterior of this mountain temple is covered with cobwebs, proving that it should have been a long time since anyone came here. But after entering the mountain temple, he found that in the mountain temple, not to mention spider webs, even the ground was clean and clean, without a trace of dust.
Secondly, in the general mountain god temple, although the mountain gods enshrined are different, they are all carved from human models, but in this mountain temple, the statue on the altar is like a monkey, but it is not the same as a monkey. The facial features of his face were all distorted together, and he could barely tell where the eyes were and where the mouth was. It's incredibly grotesque and terrifying. On the shoulders of this idol, there are also two stone-carved birds, the shape of which Wang Yang is also very familiar, because they are exactly the same as those eagles and birds that hovered over the drawbridge before.
Finally, there are many candles lit on the walls of the mountain temple, but the flame of these candles is milky white, just like the light of the low-wattage fluorescent lamp, although the light reflected is very dim, but the inside of the mountain temple is very bright, but these lights are blocked under the half of the wooden door, and they cannot shine on the outside of the mountain temple at all.
In addition, these candles are also very strange, normally no matter what kind of candle it is, as long as it is burned, there will be wax oil dripping down and accumulating at the end of the candle. However, the tails of these candles were bare, and there was no trace of wax accumulation.
The fragrance in the mountain temple should be the residual fragrance of these candles after burning, and you can feel the extremely rich energy contained in this fragrance when you take a breath.
"Soul Lamp!"
After taking a breath of this fragrance, Wang Yang's gaze stayed on these candles and couldn't move it anymore, and he opened his mouth wide and said three words in a daze.
It has been recorded in "The Emperor's Classics" that there is a kind of natal soul lamp in this world, with people as the core, and the soul as the flame, once lit, unless the soul of the person dies, the candle flame will never be extinguished.
In ancient times, many masters had such natal soul lamps, and they generally lit them for their most important relatives, and then carried them with them, so that even if they were thousands of miles away, they could know whether their most important relatives were healthy.
The production process of such a natal soul lamp is very complicated, and the materials required are also extremely precious materials, and each human soul lamp can only be lit for one person, even in ancient times, it is very rare, but in this dilapidated mountain temple, there are a lot of dense human soul lamps.
"Wang Yang, what is a human soul lamp?"
Chu Yu and Yan Pengchao looked left and right, they didn't know what a human soul lamp was.
After briefly explaining to them the preciousness of the human soul lamp, Wang Yang looked at Master Xing'an, from the moment he entered the mountain temple, Master Xing'an did not have a look of surprise, it can be seen that he had long known that there were many soul lamps lit in this mountain temple.
"Outlander, your eyesight is so good."
I don't know when, the old woman who walked into the mountain temple walked out from behind Wang Yang and them, still holding a extinguished candlestick in her hand, there was only a small section of candles on the candlestick, and the body of this small section of candles was faintly engraved with the word Juan.
Holding this candlestick, the old woman glanced at Master Xing'an, who had not said a word since just now, and spoke again: "Yes, this is the human soul lamp of my Renjia Village, and each candle represents a villager of my Renjia Village, a foreigner, you are the second person to recognize the human soul lamp in the mountain temple in the past nine years." ”
Wang Yang didn't pay attention to this goddess, but stared at the remnants of the candle on the candlestick, and when he saw the word Juan on the candle, an uneasy premonition suddenly came to his heart, and he subconsciously turned his head to look at Yan Pengchao.
Fortunately, Yan Pengchao doesn't seem to realize the true meaning of the human soul lamp.
"The old woman knows that you have a lot of questions, so don't worry......"
The old woman took the candlestick, said a word calmly, and then walked slowly to the wall, and raised her hand to relight the small piece of candle in her hand on the flame that had been burning recently.
Whew.
The small piece of candle on the candlestick was not lit, but a puff of white smoke rose from the center of the candle, and the old woman held the candlestick with one hand, and carefully protected the white smoke with the other, turned around and raised it to Wang Yang.
I saw that the white smoke slowly dissipated and became transparent, and in the process, the white smoke slowly turned into a girl's face, and as the white smoke changed, the face gradually shrunk, and finally changed into a complete figure.
The figure waved his hand at Wang Yang, with a youthful and innocent smile on his face.
The white smoke did not exist for long, and after it quickly dissipated, the figure gradually became transparent above the candlestick and finally dissipated.
"It's Xiaojuan!"
The moment he saw the figure, Yan Pengchao called out, in fact, not only him, but Wang Yang and Chu Yu also recognized it, and the figure that appeared in the white smoke was obviously Ren Lijuan's appearance when she was a child.
"Don't worry......
After the white smoke slowly dissipated, Ren Lijuan's face also disappeared transparently above the candlestick, and the old woman said slowly and then walked to the idol in the depths of the temple, and after putting the candlestick behind the idol, she took out two candlesticks from behind the idol.
The remaining candles on these two candlesticks were much higher than Ren Lijuan's candlesticks before, but they were all extinguished, and there were no candle flames.
"These two are the soul lamps of Ren Lijuan's parents. Stranger, use the old woman to light it for you again, so that you can tell if the owners of these two human soul lamps are the parents of the child you are looking for? (To be continued.) )
