The temple is lit by candlelight.

I don't know who lit these candles, as if they had been burning for a long time and had not been extinguished.

I walked past the bluestone foundation, the bleached temple door half-hidden, and I nudged it with my hand.

The gate creaked, and dust fell, as if it had been sealed for a long time.

Crossing the threshold, you will be greeted by a square patio with water underneath it. It has been precipitated for a long time, and a thick layer of white velvet floats on it.

Behind the patio is a long stone offering table with an incense burner and a half-burned candle in the hearth.

Behind the incense burner is a stone statue, the statue is hideous, the whole body is pitch black, it is a humanoid statue with two heads, but the lower and half of the body is a snake body, entrenched in a ball.

His face is carved very abstractly, and he has two heads, one male and one female, both with green fangs, forked tongues, and narrow eyes, full of resentment, which are very hateful.

Usually temples are dedicated to statues of gods, land, demon gods, or Dao ancestors, but this is the first time I've seen a statue of a terrifying youkai like the one in front of me.

In particular, its eyes, all of which contain resentment, no matter from which angle, seem to be staring at itself, which is creepy.

I thought to myself, "Isn't this a statue of a two-headed dragon?" What does it look like? ”

It's just that I don't understand one thing, if this stone sculpture is a two-headed dragon, then why are there still people building temples to worship it? is so demonic, can anyone still ask for shelter?

Thinking of this, I can't help but think of the deserted stone village in the forest that I saw before, as well as the ghost boy and the heavenly burial platform I said in the deep pit.

What kind of strange thing are the villagers feeding on the Paradise Terrace?

On each side of the statue is a door, the one on the left is covered by a blackened curtain, and on the right is a stone door, the stone door is tightly closed, I wonder what is inside?

The surface of the bluestone foundation on the ground is covered with moss, and there are many footprints on it, and the footprints are messy, large and small, it seems that someone has been here before Huang Yuting and me, and it is not alone.

The first thing that came to my mind was Li Guodong's group, in addition to Lao Fei and Yan Xiaoying, and even Lin Miao and the mysterious woman of the Gu clan, they may have all been here.

Only now, where have they gone?

Huang Yuting stood in front of the statue with her hands down, silent, her eyes back and forth on me and the statue, not knowing what she was thinking.

I took a deep breath and walked to the curtained door on the left, reaching open and peering inside.

Inside is a very small room, only about three square meters, and it is sealed with no windows.

The room was empty except for a bluestone table.

My gaze fell on the table, on which was a bronze lamp burning, and next to it was an object.

It was a paper tie, and it was a black rat with three tails and blood stains on the surface.

"This paper tie ......"

I squinted my eyes and remembered that when I was fighting with the green-haired zombies before, Lu Ji and the others suddenly appeared, and one of them used a paper tie to perform a strange spell and fight with the green-haired zombies.

Sure enough, Lu Ji and they have been here, but why did that person leave a paper here? Don't......

Just as I was pondering, I glanced at the paper on the stone table and suddenly spontaneously combusted, and a black gas appeared when burning. The black qi quickly took shape, turning into a huge black rat the size of a human body and pounced on me.

I was taken aback by the conditions of the launch, and a fart ton sat on the ground.

It happened so suddenly.

A lump of paper, suddenly spontaneously combusted, and the black gas emitted by the combustion actually turned into a terrible big rat.

"Poof!"

Although I reacted quickly, the other party's sharp claws cut a bloody hole in my shoulder, and blood immediately flowed out of the wound.

The other man jumped over my head and landed on the patio with a demonic wind.

It's terrifying, if I had been a little slower to retreat just now, the Heavenly Spirit Cover would definitely be uncovered by its sharp claws.

"Squeak!"

The black rat landed on the ground and let out a strange cry like gold and iron, which was very real.

Its sharp claws glistened coldly in the candlelight, and blood dripped.

Ignoring the pain, I scrambled up from the ground, death scythe in my hand, my muscles tense, and my face full of incredulity.

This thing is horrible.

Could it be that the mysterious paper-binding man left it here to use it against me, to kill me? In this way, Lu Ji probably already knows my true identity.

In an instant, many thoughts crossed my mind.

At this time, the black rat opened his mouth and licked the blood on his paws, stared at me with a fierce light, and pounced again with a scream.

"Evil animal, is it really easy to bully Lao Tzu!"

I yelled, flashed sideways, and slashed at his back with the Scythe of Death.

"Be careful!"

Huang Yuting's exclamation came from his ears.

Before I could slash the other party, I felt a pain in my waist and body, and I was struck by the black mouse's arm-thick tail, and the whole person staggered backwards.

"Squeak!"

The black rat monster barked, and after its tail swept through my body, it turned sharply, opened its mouth, and bared its sharp teeth towards me.

The black rat was fast, like a storm, and didn't give me a chance to react.

I couldn't avoid it at this time, and I saw that the hideous mouth was about to bite my neck.

At this moment, a figure rushed out from the side and crashed into the black rat's body at once.

The black rat flew out sideways and hit a pillar, and the whole small temple trembled as if it were about to collapse.

Looking closely, the person who knocked the black rat away was Huang Yuting, she was not feeling well at this time, her delicate body shook for a while, and she took a few steps back in a row to stabilize her body.

When I saw that the black rat had slipped off the pillar and was unable to get up for a while, I felt a fierce force in my heart, and rushed over with the scythe of death.

Unexpectedly, halfway through, a swarthy thing suddenly fell in front of him from the temple beam.

After a quick glance, I found that what fell from the temple beam was actually a two-headed snake with three legs.

I was about to step on it, so I turned around, rolled on the spot, spun around several times, and fell into the water in the central patio with a thud.

Struggling to get up from the stagnant water, he found that the two-headed snake had bitten into a ball with the black rat.

The two-headed snake has three legs like chicken claws, and can not only walk on the ground, but also crawl on steep walls and pillars, like a gecko.

Moreover, it moves very fast, swimming around the black rat, jumping and jumping, and from time to time pounce on the latter and bite it, which is extremely terrifying.

"Sure enough, there are such strange snakes in this place!"

I watched my hair stand upside down and swallowed a mouthful of saliva unconsciously.

"Boom!"

Then the ground suddenly trembled, and there was a noise beside the statue, and before I could understand what was happening, my arm was grabbed, and with great strength, he pulled me up from the well.

"Tianyan, go this way!"

It was Huang Yuting who pulled me up from under the well, and somehow she opened the closed stone door to the right hand of the statue.

Before we had time to think about it, she and I hurriedly fled into the stone gate.

As soon as he walked in, the stone door behind him slammed shut.

And then...... I felt a sudden tightening of my waist and body, as if I was being wrapped around the body of a snake, and then I was pulled in one direction with a strong force.

"Be careful!"

In the dark, I only heard Huang Yuting's exclamations, and I couldn't see anything.

The next moment, I felt myself being held by someone, and then my neck tightened, and someone grabbed my throat with my hand, and I heard heavy breathing behind me.

"Who are you?"

A weak, but unusually cold, voice rang out from behind me.

When I heard this voice, I was shocked, and I couldn't believe it, because this voice was so familiar.

It's just that my throat is now stuck in the other party, and I can't make a sound at all.

Not to mention vocalization, it is extremely difficult to breathe.

The other person's hand is not thick, but it has a lot of strength, and I feel that she can break my neck with a little force.

"Let go, he's Tianyan!"

In just a moment, a feeling of suffocation swept through the brain, but fortunately, at this time, Huang Yuting spoke.

Then, hurried footsteps sounded.

I felt the hand stuck in my throat loosen, and then I heard the sound of fighting, and faintly saw two blurred shadows fighting in front of me.

"Ahem!"

I coughed, gasped continuously, and said urgently: "Xiaoying, it's me, you two don't fight, it's all ......"

However, before he could finish a sentence, he suddenly felt a pain in his cheek and was punched.

The punch was so powerful that it made my eyes go blank and I took a few steps back.

Woe is not alone, and before the person can stand still, the whip shook the sky and slammed on my chest.

The pain made me gasp and scream.

He stumbled and stumbled over something under his feet, and fell to the ground on his back.

Hearing my screams, the two of them finally stopped, and then the flashlight beam lit up and fell on me.

"Tianyan, you're not dead yet?"

Yan Xiaoying's voice was slightly surprised.

I narrowed my eyes and asked her to move the beam of the flashlight to the side, and when I looked closely, I saw Yan Xiaoying's clothes broken and covered in blood, standing in front of her.

Next to her, Huang Yuting's hair was messy, and she was gritting her teeth at Yan Xiaoying. There is also a rope tied to its body, which is firmly entangled, which is the rope that binds the corpse.

I breathed a sigh of relief and rubbed the whipped part of my chest, only to feel a burning pain.

This little girl is really ruthless.

I struggled to get up, but I felt like there was a person underneath me, looking closely at it through the beam of a flashlight. I saw that the person below me had long hair and a cold body, obviously dead.

A female corpse!

I was startled and crawled away.

"It's Yang Feng, I found that she was dead when I came here."

Yan Xiaoying walked over and helped me up as she spoke.

"What? Yang Feng she ...... He's dead? ”

I was so shocked that I couldn't believe it, when I knew I was with her in the forest.

"She was bitten to death by a strange snake in this area."

Yan Xiaoying said as she flipped Yang Feng's corpse on the ground so that it was facing up on its back.

In the bright light, I saw that her lips were purple, her eyes were round, and her face was frightened, as if she had seen something terrible before she died.

"Let go of me!"

On the side, Huang Yuting wanted to break free from the rope binding the corpse, and yelled at Yan Xiaoying.

"Let go of you? Before, you lured me and Lao Fei away and trapped us in a dungeon, how do you settle this account? ”

Yan Xiaoying snorted coldly, looked at Huang Yuting and asked, "Say, what happened to your old fat?" Where is he now? If you don't tell me the truth, I'll break your bones and throw you into the abyss to feed the snakes!" ”
