Chapter 30: Zhurong Temple

Chen Taidong was completely stunned when he saw the scene in front of him, as an atheist, his first reaction was that the torture technique was held hostage, he didn't say a word, he rushed up directly, and at the moment when he rushed up, the figure behind the torture suddenly disappeared, leaving only the torture technique standing there.

Chen Taidong stretched out his hand and grabbed the torture technique: "Who was that person just now?" ”

It didn't matter if he grasped it, but Chen Taidong grabbed it empty, and the torture technique suddenly disappeared without a trace.

Chen Taidong is an old Jianghu after all, his first reaction was to choke his thigh violently, using the pain to keep himself calm and sober, he knew very well that he was poisoned!

Chen Taidong didn't bother to investigate what was going on, so he ran towards the room at the entrance of the town, and when he ran back, he saw that the room was empty, there was nothing, and the scene he saw in front of him was exactly the same as the scene he saw when he returned from the previous torture.

At this time, Chen Taidong also began to question his own atheism.

Otherwise, how can all this be explained?

Chen Taidong stood there and calmed down completely, turned around and walked to the street, and then walked towards the archway, walked back towards the road where he came, when he came to the intersection of the mountain road, hesitated, or raised his feet to continue to move forward, bypassed the small mountain bag in front, and then turned in, he saw another archway, and the archway still has three big characters written on the archway: "Qinglian Town".

Chen Taidong stepped forward and stroked the archway, knowing that this was definitely not an illusion, and also knew that this town was not as simple as it seemed on the surface, although the town did not seem to have a few roads, because of the architectural style, coupled with the reason for building in the hilly area, the roads were staggered up and down, and the layout was very deliberate, which made people completely lose their way in the panic.

After carving a mark in stone under the archway, Chen Taidong walked forward, burrowed into the hut where he was supposed to live before, made a mark in it, and then continued to step forward, trying to find the right way.

However, Chen Taidong also had to slow down his progress, because he found that the faster he ran, the faster the blood flowed all over his body, and the more serious the hallucinations he saw in front of him.

In the original room, She Caixiang gradually woke up, and the moment she woke up, she saw that only Ma Fei was sitting by the campfire, and the others were all gone. ”

Ma Fei looked at her sideways: "I don't know, when I woke up, the torture technique and Sikong Yan were gone, after Uncle Chen woke me up, I went out to find them, I heard Uncle Chen shouting the name of the torture technique, I didn't dare to chase it out, if I chased it out, you would be the only one left in this room." ”

She Caixiang hugged her arms and looked at the door: "What happened?" ”

"We'll have to wait until they get back." Ma Fei shook his head, "The torture technique will definitely not run around, I think, it is estimated that something happened to Sikong Yan, and the torture technique chased him out, and Uncle Chen also followed out out out of worry." ”

She Caixiang was still staring at the door, she always felt as if there was someone there: "I always felt that there was something wrong with that Sikong Yan, it was too much of a coincidence, why did he just appear in Liu Baogu's villa?" ”

Ma Fei turned around, sat there cross-legged, and looked at She Caixiang: "Now it's just the two of us here, I think, you still tell the truth, why did you follow the torture technique here?" Is it because of "Nine Sons", or is it something else? I don't think it's that simple, if you're really here for the Nine Sons, there's no reason for you to follow the torture arts, unless you're sure that the Nine Sons are in the hands of the torture arts. ”

She Caixiang slowly turned her head and looked at Ma Fei: "Does this have anything to do with you?" ”

Ma Fei was about to respond, but She Caixiang preemptively said: "You want to tell me again that you are his fiancΓ©e." Do you really think that a lie can be told a thousand times to become true? It's impossible for torture to like you, because I know better than you what kind of woman he likes. ”

Ma Fei smiled: "You misunderstood, whether the torture technique likes me or not has nothing to do with the things I want to ask you now, because you and I both know very well what you are here to do, not to mention, you played with the feelings of the torture technique back then, for a liar, can say the words that turn the fake into the true, don't you think it's ridiculous yourself?" ”

She Caixiang closed her eyes and ignored Ma Fei: "What am I here for, it has nothing to do with you, we had better not have any communication, otherwise, we will fight again because of this." ”

Ma Fei deliberately looked She Caixiang up and down with a provocative gaze: "Are you afraid of being beaten to death by me?" ”

She Caixiang still closed her eyes and leaned against the wall: "Miss Ma, the agitation method has no effect on me." ”

Ma Fei added some firewood to the fire, got up and walked towards the door, She Caixiang opened her eyes, watched her leave, and wanted to ask something, but the words still didn't come out, after all, she knew that as soon as she opened her mouth, she was timid.

The moment Ma Fei walked out of the door, he found that the fog had risen for some time, and the fog had reduced the visibility on the streets of the town, and he could only see clearly two or three meters in front of him.

In a trance, Ma Fei heard the sound of shoes rubbing against the ground, and judging from the sound, there was more than one person. She felt very strange, turned on the flashlight and followed the direction of the sound source, after all, she, like Chen Taidong and Torture, was basically an atheist and did not believe in the existence of ghosts and gods.

But ten seconds later, what Ma Fei saw completely subverted her previous concept - when she looked for the source of the sound, she saw three people of different heights in cyan clothes walking slowly in front of her.

At that moment, Ma Fei froze, his eyes fixed on the three strange people who walked in unison from the dense fog and gradually disappeared into the thick fog.

What is that? Ma Fei froze there, only these four words in her mind, hesitated for a while, she raised her flashlight and chased after it, because she could clearly hear the soles of her shoes rubbing the ground, she followed the sound and chased after four or five meters, just when she saw the back of the last person, she found that the two people in front of her disappeared at some point, except for the last shortest person, and the person stopped there, as if waiting for her.

"Excuse me...... "Maffei tried to calm himself, "are you residents here?" ”

As soon as Ma Fei finished speaking, she heard a girl's hearty laughter around her, the laughter echoed in all directions, and then the sound of hurried footsteps came from behind her, she turned around suddenly, shone a flashlight behind her, and asked, "She Caixiang, is it you?" ”

When she turned around again, she found that the short strange man, who was at least two meters away from her, had retreated in front of her.

Ma Fei was startled, and subconsciously took a step back, who knew that after she took a step back, the body of the person in front of her also slid and retreated close to her.

At this time, Ma Fei's mind was blank, and he was about to swing his fist, but at the moment of punching, the head of the person in front of him suddenly turned, and when he turned around, his head suddenly drooped down, making a "click" sound like a broken bone.

Maffei was terrified, and glared at the strange man's body as it turned towards her from the front, and she could clearly see that the man's feet had not moved at all, still facing forward.

The man in front of him maintained a strange posture, standing there, and continued to approach Maffei.

Maffei took a few sharp steps back again and asked, "Who are you?" ”

At this moment, Ma Fei's mind was already a little confused, although the words were asked, but it was completely subconsciously asked in a hurry.

The man stopped, and the bones of his body made strange noises, as if an invisible pair of hands were breaking his bones one by one.

These voices and the man's gesture made Ma Fei's mind suddenly go blank, but her long-term training still made her make a knee-jerk counterattack next - raising her leg and kicking at the opponent.

Maffee's kick was empty, but she knew very well that at this distance, her leg could completely hit the opponent, why didn't she kick it?

Could it be that the person in front of him is simply nothing, disembodied?

While Ma Fei stared at the man, she felt a gust of wind blowing behind her, she realized that there was someone behind her, and subconsciously turned around, and sure enough, she saw a man in black coming towards her at an extremely strange speed, Ma Fei raised his foot and kicked it again, the man stopped, began to retreat rapidly, and then disappeared into the fog.

Maffei chased after him for two steps, and when he turned around again, the strange man who had been in front of him before had disappeared without a trace.

Maffei stood there, turning around and looking, shining a flashlight, but finding no trace, and hearing no one walking and running.

At this point, she began to get scared. People are like this, at a certain moment of crisis, they will go out of their way to do something, but after this matter has passed, and then think about it, they will come to a lot of terrible inferences, just like Muffy now, she began to think, if the so-called people before were not people, would she have had an accident?

Because, no one can run so fast, move so fast, and it is impossible for anyone to twist their body into that shape, and of course, it is impossible for anyone to float with their feet off the ground.

Ma Fei didn't want to be okay, the more she thought about it, the more scared she became, the more she thought about it, the more meticulous she became, but the more meticulous she was, the more scared she became.

Ma Fei couldn't help but shudder, turned around and walked back quickly, looking around as he went, for fear that those few things would suddenly appear around her again.

"There can be no ghosts, absolutely no ghosts." Ma Fei walked briskly towards the lit house, and when she reached the door of the house, she was relieved to see the fire in the house, and She Caixiang who was lying asleep by the fire, she breathed a sigh of relief, and turned to close the door.

In fact, at the moment she closed the door, she closed her eyes, because her psychological defense was about to collapse, and the whole person seemed to be standing on the edge of a cliff, even if a similar situation occurred again, she would scream like an ordinary woman and run away desperately.

After the door was closed, Ma Fei slowly slipped down against the wall, sat down, and then looked at the sleeping She Caixiang with envious eyes, thinking that this woman's heart was so big, and she still slept so soundly at such a time.

Maffei climbed over to her backpack and touched it for a bottle of water to drink, but she only touched a bottle of milk, and stopped when she was about to open it, and she really wanted to take a big sip of water to keep herself calm.

"Hey, do you still have water?" Ma Fei touched She Caixiang's ankle, "You should still have water, right?" ”

She Caixiang didn't respond, still asleep.

Ma Fei shook her leg vigorously, but She Caixiang still didn't respond, Ma Fei realized that something was wrong, and immediately got up and walked towards She Caixiang, looked at She Caixiang who was sleeping on her side, and grabbed her arm with her hand: "Hey, what's wrong with you?" Wake up? ”

Ma Fei shook vigorously, and the next scene directly made her scream after being stunned for half a second - She Caixiang's head broke away directly from her neck and fell off.

Ma Fei fell to the ground, watching She Caixiang's head roll directly into the fire, and then began to burn violently, the burning She Caixiang's head suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes slipped down directly, and rolled directly to Ma Fei with the flames.

Seeing all this, Maffei completely fell into a collapse, she screamed and got up, rushed towards the door, and completely forgot that the door was closed, and the whole person hit it directly, then bounced back and fell again.

After falling, Mafei struggled to get up, and just as he grabbed the door and was about to open it, he saw a black figure gradually standing up on the fire cast on the door.

Ma Fei breathed rapidly, slowly looked sideways, and found that She Caixiang, who had no head, actually stood up, leaned over and stretched out his hands to pick up the still burning head in the fire, and then put it on his neck.

Maffei's eyes widened, he opened the door, pulled his legs and ran wildly, and soon disappeared into the thick fog.

After Ma Fei left, She Caixiang, who covered her mouth, slowly climbed out from under the stairs and looked at the gate with frightened eyes, and then Fan Meng, whose face was wrapped in bandages, also slowly climbed out and said in a hoarse voice: "It's okay, they shouldn't come back." ”

She Caixiang turned her head to look at Fan Meng and asked, "What's wrong with her?" What did she see? ”

Fan Meng sneered: "If you didn't take the medicine I gave you just now, you will also see what you don't want to see the most, the thing you are most afraid of." ”

She Caixiang swallowed her saliva: "What do you mean?" ”

Fan Meng said coldly: "It's not interesting, do you want to be like her?" ”

She Caixiang shook her head vigorously, but Fan Meng let out a strange laugh.

……

He found the right way in the mist, walked under the archway again and again, and turned back again and again, and finally, like Chen Taidong, realized his situation, and began to walk through one of the archways, towards the road that seemed to be the one he came.

After walking through the hills, the torture saw a building hidden in the bamboo forest, the building was not big from a distance, but in the darkness it was like a beast ready to attack, and the door was only paved with gravel paths, except for the strange and gloomy, there was nothing that could reflect the momentum of this ancient building.

When he walked to the building, he found that it was the gate of a Taoist temple, and there was only one gate, and the so-called high walls on the left and right sides were dense clumps of bamboo.

It can be seen that these bamboos are deliberately planted around the gate, and there are circles of thorny shrubs around the bamboo to prevent people from entering directly, but in the eyes of torture, it is also a bit redundant, so dense bamboo, even if you force it in, you can only be caught in it in the end.

"Zhurong Palace?" Xingshu looked at the three golden characters on the horizontal plaque on the gate, "Fire God Zhurong?" ”

The torture technique is very clear, the Southwest Tietang family believes in the god of fire, and it was even rumored that they had their own religion, which was called Zhurongjiao.

When the torturer subconsciously pushed the door, he suddenly remembered something, he raised the flashlight in his hand and shone it on the plaque, and then found that the three golden characters of "Zhurong Palace" seemed to be burning.

The torture technique was startled, looked up carefully, and found that the three words "Zhurong Palace" quickly became the three words "Iron Immortal View" under the illumination of the flashlight.

Xingshu subconsciously stepped forward to touch the gate, and found that the door was indeed made of iron, but the pillars that fixed the sides of the gate were not, and it looked like wood on the surface, but it was actually cement.

Yes, it must be cement, if it is not cement, how can ordinary wood withstand these two iron-cast gates, but why is this the Iron Immortal Temple? Why did the Iron Immortal View appear in the Heaven and Earth Mansion?

Xingshu stood there and pondered for a moment, and completely understood that Tang Sirong must have found the clues left by Xing Renju, and what she found along the clues, and this series of clues still has a direct relationship with the cast iron immortal, otherwise, how to explain everything she saw in front of her.

At the same time, the torturers understood what was going on in that strange town, and what those black figures were.

After pushing open the iron door with all his might, and opening a gap large enough for him to enter, he was about to enter, but he saw Sikong Yan standing in the courtyard inside the door.

Sikong Yan stood there alone, crying and trembling, looking at the torture technique and shaking his head slightly.

The torture technique didn't move any further, and he knew that there must be someone in ambush around here, maybe more than one person.

Four bonfires were lit in four directions around Sikong Yan, and the firelight illuminated the entire courtyard, and also illuminated the huge iron plate on the ground at Sikong Yan's feet.

The iron plate is round, there are all kinds of strange and bizarre patterns on it, from the position where the torture is standing, you can only see some beast patterns on the edge of the iron plate, which is very exquisite, but under the reflection of the firelight, those beasts with teeth and claws, and fierce expressions are so terrifying.

"Hey, how did you get here?" The torture technique pretended to ask lightly, he just wanted Sikong Yan, who was forced to stand there, to relax a little, and at the same time, he also wanted him to use his eyes to signal to those people who were hiding around, where was the specific location?

Sikong Yan quickly realized the meaning of the torture technique, raised his eyes slightly, looked at the top of the torture technique's head, and then immediately put his gaze back on the torture technique.

Torture understands that above the gate above his head, there must be a hidden person, but who could this person be? Tang Sirong?
