Chapter 177: The Mysterious Temple
This temple is completely different from the one of the half-immortals. As far as the eye could see, there were cobwebs and dusty futons, wooden fish, and so on. Even the statues of the gods above lost their lustre, and the paint faded, revealing wood-colored horizontal stripes.
Even the smell of mold filled the air, and I couldn't help but cover my nose.
When I saw this, I was really surprised. Because if this is not the way to the outside, then it means that what I have inferred before is wrong.
So, where did those people come from?
When I first got there, why didn't I find this passage? And, where is this?
Suddenly, I felt a chill on my back, as if someone was peeping in the dark.
I immediately became vigilant and looked around, but there was no sign of anyone being there.
The previous feeling was like an illusion, and it disappeared in the blink of an eye.
I took a deep breath and thought that maybe it was really a delusion, after all, if there were people living here, it wouldn't be so shabby.
I walked slowly into the temple, and the roof above had begun to decay, green moss was growing on it, and there was even some gray mold.
Sunlight was shining through the corroded gaps in the wood, which made it not so dark.
The statues around were somewhat damaged, and after a cursory glance, I saw a few with broken arms, severed heads, and most of their bodies were gone. I don't know if it was destroyed by something.
There was not much of the candle left in the candlestick on the incense table, and even a corner was missing.
I looked around the temple and didn't find anything strange, but I was surprised by a sense of disobedience.
I frowned, I didn't know where that sense of disobedience came from, I just felt that something seemed wrong. Or rather, something is missing that should have existed.
Just, what is it? I can't remember anyway.
At this time, the snow wolf suddenly rubbed my leg, and I looked at it for a while, and suddenly I knew where I felt something was wrong.
There are no animals here!
It stands to reason that there will always be rats or cockroaches in such uninhabited, even dusty, dilapidated buildings for a long time.
But I've just walked around, let alone the nest, I haven't even seen a single animal, not even a sound, which is really incredible.
Even those inhabited places cannot be free of rats and cockroaches, let alone such places.
And, if there were no animals, then who ate these wood and incense sticks in the candlesticks? Someone can't have deliberately created these traces.
Either I just didn't see it, or something had disposed of them or scared them away.
But what could it be? There's nothing here!
I felt that the mystery seemed to be getting more and more, and the quiet environment around me made me a little uneasy, and even the air began to become oppressive, and there was something hidden here, but I didn't find it!
What is it? What's hiding here?
Is it someone who just spied on me?
Is there any connection between these and the people who killed the old man?
Thinking like this, I felt something slip down the corner of my forehead, and as soon as I touched it, I felt wet, and then I realized that I had broken out in a cold sweat at some point.
Suddenly, something touched me, and I was so frightened that my heart almost skipped a beat, and I immediately took a few steps back to the side, and suddenly leaned on the incense table of a god statue.
When I looked down, I realized that it was the snow wolf who touched me, and I couldn't help but feel relieved.
The snow wolf looked at me with some puzzlement, as if he didn't understand why I had such a big reaction.
I exhaled, then slowly straightened up, only to notice that my legs were a little limp.
The snow wolf arched me, not knowing what he wanted me to do. I kicked it, but because it didn't have much strength, it thought I was playing with it and rubbed me again.
I laughed and held on to the table and tried to stand up, but I was surprised to find that there was a place under my hand that was a little uneven, and it seemed to be ...... What kind of mechanism!?
I immediately turned to look at the table and almost fell to the ground because of my weak legs, but I managed to hold it steady.
I looked up at the idol and saw that the head was missing, and the paint had fallen off in many places, and the lines of the wood were starting to mold.
On the dusty incense case, my two palm prints were particularly obvious, and when I looked closely, I realized that there was indeed a place that was indeed raised, and it was next to the candlestick. If it weren't for the accident, I wouldn't have found out.
I touched the candlestick, then moved upwards, and when I found that it was completely impossible to pick it up, I held it and turned it towards the idol.
I'd love to know what's going to happen behind that, maybe that'll give me the answers to all my questions, or maybe the red carving box is inside.
And the snow wolf asked me to come over, I'm afraid it's just for the things behind this.
I was about to exert my strength, but I was interrupted by the snow wolf. It pulls me along and seems to want me to do something?
I looked down at it with a frown, and was about to say something, but suddenly I couldn't.
Footsteps echoed in the silent temple, signaling that someone was approaching the place.
Who is it? Who will be here?
Anyway, I've got to hide! Because the people who came, I don't know if it was the one who killed the old man?
I looked around in a bit of a hurry, and finally hid under an incense case.
The yellow cloth kept the incense table and underneath it tightly, and there were a few cracks in the cloth that were enough for me to see what was going on outside.
I hid inside with the snow wolf in my arms, and the dust got into my mouth and nose and made me almost cough. However, the sound of footsteps getting closer and closer made me have to endure it for life.
The snow wolf was very quiet at this time, just a pair of eyes kept looking at me. I shook my head at it, then looked out through the gap.
The footsteps grew louder and louder, and a young girl in a white dress walked in.
Although the girl is wearing a long white dress, she unexpectedly does not feel like a ghost, but is as beautiful as a fairy.
I was stunned for a moment.
The girl approached, and I could see her face clearly. She is very beautiful, there is no flaw on her face, her facial features are exquisite, and her gentle temperament makes me feel like I have seen it anywhere?
On top of that, my heart started beating violently, and my cheeks were a little hot.
I was surprised that I had a liking for the person I met for the first time.
