Chapter 381: Entering the Closed Gate Village by Mistake (5)
I didn't bother to pay attention to this naΓ―ve child, changed to a more comfortable position, and leaned my back against the wall, "The sacrificial temple that Aunt Wang just said should be the place where we met Ah Long yesterday." The goddess, that is, the mother in Ah Long's mouth, I don't know what is sacred that can make the villagers here so respectful. β
"Listening to what Ah Long meant yesterday, her mother was sleeping, and she herself could not appear during the day. If everything in this Fengmen Village is really controlled by this goddess, we can take advantage of the present to explore the temple! β
"Try to avoid the villagers, let's go to the village gate first, I forgot about the people who were stirred up yesterday, maybe it's not as complicated as we thought, just walk out the same way." As long as we can leave safely and not harm our lives, the weird things in this village don't matter! β
"Makes sense, let's go now!" There was nothing to clean up, and the door was not closed, so I just got up and ran out. According to the direction I walked yesterday in my memory, under the cover of the tree trunk, I felt all the way back to the entrance of the village. But when he looked over, he was dumbfounded, the ancient willow was still the same ancient willow, and there was still a white-haired old man sitting under the tree, laughing with a group of children. It's exactly the same as the scene I saw when I came yesterday, but the question is, where did the village gate go?
At first glance, everything in the village is clear and agile, but separated by a wooden fence, and outside the village is a white expanse, and there is nothing. Yesterday the gate we entered the village disappeared into thin air, leaving only a wooden fence of the same height as the surroundings.
Tentatively put his hand out of the fence, as if touching a large ball of jelly, and poked it hard, but it was only slightly dented. The arm swung away, and hit the fence with all his strength, but the force completely reacted on his body, and the arm was instantly stabbed, but fortunately there was no fracture.
He went straight to the big willow tree, dragged the white-haired old man and asked, "Look at what's outside the fence?" β
The old man looked at me like a fool, but he still opened his mouth, "What else can there be besides the white miasma outside the fence!" Hasn't it always been like this? Kid, are you alright? β
The little dolls around also made a fuss, "There are white miasma outside the village, and there are monsters inside that will eat the children, and our mothers don't allow us to get close!" "It seems that this situation is completely unsurprising.
He deliberately raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, and then glanced outside the fence, then turned his head to look at the old man, "I was scared just now, I saw a figure in my eyes, and now I don't see anything." I guess it's the sun that shook my eyes, so it looked like this! β
After that, he quickly fled from the place of right and wrong by dragging Sanzang, so as not to stay there and talk too much. This time, I changed direction and walked straight to the sacrificial temple in the center of the village, "Yes, it's not in vain, at least I know that the two of us are now in the game, and if we want to get out, I'm afraid we still have to fight with the big boss here!"
During the day, wisps of light smoke floated out of the sacrificial temple, as if a faint veil was placed on the cage of death, adding a few different kinds of sacred atmosphere. The candlelight burned day and night, and when it was illuminated by the sun, it added a slight halo, and at first glance, it really looked like a temple.
There are few people in this vicinity, and the wind blows gently, and the copper bells with the corners of the eaves sound crisply. He tiptoed forward, stretched out his hand and pushed, and the temple door creaked and opened inside. A wisp of incense instantly invaded the nose, and there was no ordinary temple incense at all, but like a woman's boudoir.
Layers of gauze tents hang down to the ground, blocking people's vision, and on the corners of each layer of yarn, there are small golden copper bells, as long as you touch the gauze tent, it will make a sound. In order not to alarm the owner of this temple, he could only bend down and grab the copper bell in his hand first, and then gently put the copper bell down after lifting the tent. It's not a little bit slower to move forward.
Fortunately, this situation did not last long, and the last layer of the gauze tent was put down, and what came into view was a white jade statue. The gauze canopy hangs down from the roof, hiding the statue inside, but it still has a rough view. This is a woman in palace costume, stepping on the white lotus, holding a sword high in one hand, pointing straight to the sky. The facial features are exquisite, with a vague mystery, but the eyes are very resolute. Just looking at it from a distance, you can feel the resolute aura on her body.
On the left and right sides of the statue, there are two groups of wooden shelves, a candle is lit on it, and there are thirty-six exhibitions on one side. The incense in the house comes from the incense burner in front of the statue, and it will spin a few times in the air.
Looking around for a long time, except for me and Sanzang, there was no one else in the temple, and the room was only the one where the two of us were, I don't know where Ah Long's mother and daughter live on weekdays.
Eyes refocused on the statue, always felt that this statue was too vivid, with the last experience in the tomb of the dragon girl, I inexplicably felt that this statue was not simple. However, after many investigations, I didn't see a reason, so I had to turn around and leave here.
I put my hand on the door and pulled it open, and a cool cold wind blew straight to my neck, and I couldn't help but shiver. A little shocked by the scene in front of him, he looked back at Sanzang and found that he was also with his mouth wide open, unable to speak for a long time.
It took us no more than two hours to approach the temple, but when we opened the door, we found that the whole village had completely changed. The churning black clouds pressed densely in the sky, and from time to time a black wind blew by, stirring up a storm. The trees planted by the side of the road had all withered, and only the bare branches stood there, twisting into all sorts of strange shapes. The crows, all black, stood in rows on the branches and roofs, and the sound of "quack" pierced the ears. The simple but cozy farmhouse has long since collapsed, and some of the remaining ruins of the wall can still be seen. In addition to being depressed or depressed, the whole environment is no longer the simple quiet and peaceful village where the white clouds drifted by on a sunny day and the wisps of smoke rose.
Sanzang pursed his mouth, barely closed his mouth, and pointed out, "Brother Shuzi, what the hell is going on?" We've only been in for a while, how did the village become like this? β
Shaking his head, "I don't know!" "I inhaled the fragrance of the temple in my nose again, and something flashed in my mind, but I didn't catch it. Looking back, I was shocked again, where was the previous gorgeous and delicate behind me, the gauze tent was broken, the copper bells were scattered on the ground, the dust was covered with a thick layer, and the spiders had formed a big web in the corner of the wall. The candle on the wooden frame had long since been extinguished, leaving only the statue still standing, but it was no longer white. (To be continued.) )
