Chapter 8: Unexpected Joy
The voice rippled and rippled, as if the special effect was turned on with a microphone, and Shen Long's name was called up and down: "Shen Long ~ Shen Long, Shen Long ~ Shen Long." "It's close in front of you, far away in the sky.
As soon as Shen Long looked up, I was obedient, it turned out that the voice in this statue was calling him. Shen Long found that the people in the courtyard of nearly 300 square meters in the temple were motionless, and time seemed to freeze. He quickly sat up and quickly crawled against the wall behind him, and tried to retreat slowly along the red-painted wall towards the courtyard.
Shen Long trembled and said in a trembling tone, "Who are you?" What do you want to do? ”
Looking at Shen Long's frightened appearance, a gentle voice came out from the idol: "It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is your mission." Take this Holy Dragon Ring. ”
With that, the statue emitted a dazzling white light, and Shen Long hurriedly blocked his eyes with his arm until the white light disappeared. When Shen Long opened his eyes again, what caught his eye was the golden statue of the stable martial arts god of wealth. He looked at the unwavering expression of the Martial God of Wealth, and the posture of being ready to fight, as if he was dealing with an incomparably evil thing, ready to charge at any time.
Shen Long found that he was still lying there, and when he sat up slowly, he was flashed to his eyes by a trace of golden light, which could still flash to the eyes of people in this house full of gold lacquer God of Wealth, and it made people believe that it was real gold.
Could this be the Holy Dragon Ring? Shen Longxin said. He looked out of the temple like a thief, and found that the people had returned to their original appearance, and were still discussing some unknown topics.
He searched for the source of the golden light, but found a wooden shelf full of boxes behind the statue of the god of martial arts. In the middle of the top floor, a delicate box stands out from the crowd and attracts people's attention.
When the box opened, a sparkling ring came into view, and there seemed to be a fairy aura wrapped around it in the haze. Shen Long suddenly had a strong desire to put it on, and under the cover of the idol, no one else noticed him, so he carefully put it on the middle finger of his left hand.
As soon as I put it on, there was an indescribable sense of pleasure, as if the tiredness of the years had been swept away. Shen Long looked at this holy dragon ring, there were purple stripes in the middle of the silver ring, and if you looked at the sun, there was a flash of golden light inside. The purple ribbon winds all the way to a dragon's head made of sterling silver, the size of a cherry. But at the bottom, there is a small platform that looks like a tai chi.
Sure enough, it was a good thing, Shen Long felt a lot cooler as soon as he put it on, not only did he feel confident, but he felt that he was the child of a rich family, and there was a trace of contempt in his eyes. I just wanted to put down the delicate small box, but I thought that this box wouldn't be so heavy with just a ring, there must be something inside.
Shen Long held the box high above his head, and saw that there were some unknown patterns at the bottom of the box, which was very strange. These patterns are incompatible with Taoist holy places, not like Taoist objects, but more like illustrations of Western mythological stories.
He gently picked open the gap at the bottom with his fingers, but a brown-yellow cowhide scroll slipped out of it, looking very old and old. At the moment when it was slowly unfolded, Shen Long couldn't help but let out "Ah! Marvel.
It turned out that this cowhide scroll was full of names, the names of all donors from the Song Dynasty to the present! Other than that, it's nothing special, it's a cultural relic.
Shen Long carefully folded it and put it back in its place, as if no one had ever opened it.
However, he had a question, and he said in his heart: "Could it be that Dongyue Temple can block zombies and have something to do with this ring?" No, go ask for it. ”
Shen Daliu was sharpening his knife next to the pillar, and Shen Long stopped him.
"I'm very confused about why Dongyue Temple can block zombies, you tell me about it."
Shen Daliu stopped what he was doing, sat against the wall, and whispered: "This has to start a few days ago: one night when the moon was bright and clear, about seven or eight o'clock in the evening, there were bursts of strange sounds in the sky, like the wind blowing against each other, whining. Then there was a little rain, but it was so black that it blackened the roofs of the whole village.
The villagers didn't know what was going on, and thought it was acid rain that had corroded the roofs and became like this. According to the villagers' recollections, when the light rain was about to stop, a black UFO appeared in the sky, shaped like a large ship, which floated in the sky for a few minutes and then disappeared, and the moon also showed its bright light.
After an hour or two, the children and the elderly kept coughing, and the poor were constantly having a fever, so they went to the clinic to grab some medicine and injections and went back, not paying much attention to it.
Early the next morning, some of the villagers were awakened by severe pain, but they were desperate by the sight before them: their children were gnawing on their calves, and the entire bed was covered in blood. Later, something similar happened throughout the village, and with the screams, the villagers rushed out of their homes.
They were at a loss and didn't know what to do, and the closest people in the family became monsters who wanted to eat themselves, and they couldn't go back to their home. But where can you go?
However, when they looked at the Dongyue Temple to the east, a flame of hope suddenly ignited in their eyes. The surrounding roofs are all black, and the Dongyue Temple is still as brilliant as ever, with red walls and green tiles, spotless, this is the holy land of Taoism!
And there were a few zombies next to them who were dozens of meters outside the Dongyue Temple, and the villagers took advantage of their paralysis to hurry back to the temple, fortunately, the Dongyue Temple covers a large enough area, or it can't accommodate so many people. ”
Shen Long was fascinated by the audit, and after Shen Daliu finished speaking, he was still immersed in the wonderful situation and couldn't extricate himself.
"Alas, alas, son, you went in?" Shen Daliu shook his son's shoulder, a little puzzled.
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm just ......"
Before Shen Long finished speaking, a miserable scream or a long roar came from the clinic next to him, and the sound was very loud, attracting the attention of everyone present.
Shen Long thought about it, this was Xu Dangbing's voice, what was wrong with him? Then he rushed out like a bullet. Shen Daliu wanted to hold him, but his reaction was a little slower and he didn't hold him.
When he arrived at the gate of Dongyue Temple, the strong man watching the gate did not let Shen Long go out, no matter what he said, he just didn't let him out.
Just when Shen Long was in a dilemma, the strong man saw the holy dragon ring he was wearing, and suddenly understood something, and said that he would open the door, regardless of the zombies outside.
Shen Long was still puzzled, the door opened, and he didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, he ran out directly, and went straight to the clinic.
Fortunately, the clinic is not far from Dongyue Temple, and there are no zombies roaming here, fortunately.
Shen Long didn't expect him to run so fast, although he was at the front when he ran on the school playground before, he was not as happy as he is now. And I felt that my heart was beating harder and harder, and in a few breaths, I had already run to the door of the clinic.
