Chapter 25: Soul Extraction

The stone statue of the river god is alive.

This is the second time it has come alive in front of me.

The first time was on the Wenshui River, when I was almost pinched to death by it, but it was Mr. Liu who saved me. Now in this temple, I am alone, and it comes to life again.

He also said that he would interrogate me and ask for my soldiers.

The river god's order to ask for troops has been broken, and this river god still wants my life.

I looked up at the huge stone statue, my heart trembled, I couldn't speak, and I stood there with my back against the door.

And the stone statue was gone.

After a stalemate for a while, I slowly calmed down, and the stone statue was still the same as it was, and I didn't understand if I didn't speak.

At this time, I muttered in my heart, but I couldn't guess what was going on, but in any case, the top priority was to escape from this river temple as soon as possible.

I cautiously pushed the door, but I still couldn't open it, thinking that the door was closed just now because of the stone statue, not the "blind man" who escaped.

After a moment of silence, he looked at the stone statue and asked, "Are you really the river god of Wenshui River?!" ”

The sound echoed through the temple, and the stone statue moved.

It stretched out its huge palm and pressed against my back like a boulder, and immediately made me fall to the ground, almost not spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"The god of this river is worshiped by tens of millions of people, how can it be fake."

The majestic voice rang out, deafening, and then pressed me again.

"Chen Ping'an, you offended Shenwei, blasphemed the sacrificial female corpse, and disrespected the god, can you be guilty?"

I felt a lot of abuse in my heart, what a bullshit sin, anyway, I don't think it's a sin.

But people are under the eaves and have to bow their heads.

In this case, I could only echo and say: "River God, I know that I am not doing it right, you have a lot of adults, so don't worry about me in general, just let me go, I will definitely come to you often in the future." ”

"Presumptuous!" It shouted angrily.

The sound shook and the tiles on the roof of the temple trembled.

My neck shrunk, and I didn't dare to say anything more.

The strength of the stone statue's hand increased by another point, which made me a little breathless, and threatened: "The river god's order to ask for soldiers has been broken, and today's time is not right, I can't point you as a soldier for the time being, let's draw out your soul today, and then capture you into the water as a soldier in a few days." ”

Good things were said, but they didn't work.

I also pretended to beg for mercy, raised my head and glared, and scolded: "You bullshit river god, I think you are a harmful evil person!" When Xiao Jiuzhen lived in Wenshui River that night, why didn't I see you come out? Now she's come to me to do the trick, and if you have the ability, you can wait for her to come back. ”

"Hmph, you dare to talk nonsense!"

The huge stone hand grabbed me from the ground.

The stone statue grabbed me, returned to its place, and lifted me up to it, as if it were about to eat me in anger.

My body was controlled, only my limbs could move, and I struggled desperately, and the force of my hands and feet hit the stone statue's face, but it didn't have any effect.

Then it grabbed me by the neck with two fingers and put the other hand on my head.

A chill suddenly invaded my body from my head, and my body became numb, unconscious, and completely out of my control.

"Soul Departure!"

It shouted.

The sound was so loud that my ears were buzzing, and my head was confused.

In a trance, it seized the opportunity to pull most of my soul out of my body.

When most people are extremely frightened, they will have the phenomenon of "losing their souls", but the so-called souls are only a very small wisp, and a wisp of soul leaving the body will not be life-threatening, but will cause drowsiness or high fever.

Now, the stone statue has pulled out all of my soul.

It was a strange feeling, indescribable, dreamlike, the mind could not control the body, consciousness and perception were completely detached, and the body was just a useless skin.

If it were true that the soul was completely detached from the body, I would also be dead.

Little by little, my soul was stripped away, and I could only bear it, and there was nothing I could do to stop it, and when there was only one last bit of connection between my soul and my body, the stone statue stopped.

"Huh?"

It exclaimed, and I didn't know what was going on, but it let me go.

I fell from the stone statue's hand to the ground, and my soul was not pulled, and instantly returned to my body, and all consciousness and perception were restored.

And the pain of landing on the ground also made me really feel it.

I almost broke my ass in half.

I didn't care about the pain, I got up from the ground, looked at the stone statue in front of me, but found that the stone statue had calmed down, returned to its original appearance, had no activity, and had become stone again.

Moreover, in the two eyes of the stone statue, a drop of water flowed out, like tears.

The river god wept.

I don't know what happened, but I was relieved that I had escaped.

The tears flowing from the eyes of the stone statue of the river god don't know what they are, just like mercury, it is very dense, and it falls from a high place to the ground, or it is in the shape of a bead.

In the dim candlelight, the water droplets were red, which was very strange.

I didn't know what this thing was, and I didn't dare to touch it, I just wanted to leave quickly.

This time, I pushed open the door of the river temple, and it didn't take much effort, probably because the strange thing was gone.

Leaving the River Temple, he hurried back home.

When I got home, I locked the door, closed the door again, changed into dry clothes, and poured hot water for a drink, which calmed down a lot.

After making trouble for so long a night, naturally I didn't feel sleepy.

I simply spread out the parchment paper fished up from the Wenshui River, and the paper was densely packed with small characters, one of which was not the current simplified characters, but some ancient characters, some of which were complicated and picturesque, and some of which were simple and linear. On the other hand, it seems that these ancient characters have been deliberately translated, which are modern Chinese characters, and it seems that the pen and ink are still new.

After reading it roughly, I realized that there were some methods written on it.

There are thousands of methods in the world, such as Taoism, Buddhism and the like, and more small methods, that is, some small methods of the people, which are commonly known as the methods of the gods and goddesses who can drive away evil spirits and catch ghosts in the village, such as standing chopsticks to ask ghosts, lighting cigarettes to invite gods, five ghosts to attract wealth, and so on.

It is not these methods that are recorded on the parchment, but some methods that I have never heard of, and most of them are related to the Yellow River and involve it everywhere.

I remember that when Xiao Jiu left, he told me that he wanted me to practice hard, thinking that it was for me to learn these methods.

I never imagined that one day I would have to put down my science books and study these things about yin and yang, but these methods looked very interesting, so I memorized them according to what was written on them.

These methods are all targeted, and they cannot be tested on the spot to see if they are true or false, and they do not know whether they have any effect, so they can only be memorized in their minds first.

Distracted, and with less fear in my heart, I didn't sleep all night until I stared at the parchment and saw the dawn.

Still a knock on the door woke me up.

"Who?!" I shouted outside, and quickly put the parchment close to my body.

The man outside responded, "Me! ”

I heard that it was a drunkard, and I was relieved, and I quickly ran out to open the door.

When I opened the door, I was startled by his appearance.

The tattered coat that the drunkard used to wear on his body was gone, only a dirty sweater, a shoe on his feet was gone, and there were still some blood marks on his face, as if something had been scratched, his eyes were full of red bloodshots, and he looked tired.

It's the first time I've seen him look so embarrassed.

"What's wrong with you?"

The drunkard glared at me for a while, and said angrily: "You baby ran away early, and came back to sleep peacefully, do you know that you almost killed me last night." ”

It must have been something that happened in the tick.

But this is something to blame me, or the drunkard instigated me to go, and it was also his choice, otherwise no one would have noticed us.

I complained bitterly: "You are going to Goolan to listen to the play, and you are also the one who took the initiative to help Mr. Liu, I almost suffered a seedling, and I swam from the Wenshui River for most of the night before I came back alive." ”

The drunkard didn't speak, pushed me away, and ran into the house by himself.

Go straight to the wine under my bed.

I dragged out the bottle, opened it by hand, and opened it and poured half a bottle violently.

After drinking, he lay down comfortably in his chair.

"Let me tell you, yesterday it was thanks to your clever boy that you ran fast, otherwise I really wouldn't have been able to protect you."

I asked, "What the hell is going on?" ”

"The big scene of Goolan last night, it turned out to be sung for you, someone designed you, I don't know the inside story, but what is certain is that you are being targeted, and I am afraid that there will inevitably be trouble in the future."

It's scary to hear what the drunkard said, and I'm a little worried.

"Who's eyeing me? What are they plotting against me? I asked.

The drunkard shook his head: "I don't know what I'm trying to do now, maybe it's for that treasure, but maybe I'm thinking too much, after all, those people are miscellaneous, and they don't have the ability to hold back the treasure, so it's impossible to know that there is a treasure here so quickly, it's probably for something else." ”

"I'll check this matter for you again, things that can alarm various forces and those bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods can't be hidden, and there will be news soon."

I nodded, was silent for a moment, and then asked, "By the way, who are those people who are listening to the play?" ”

"What I can recognize, there are people from several yin and yang forces, they are all forces along the Yellow River, but they rarely appear together. In addition, there are some demons and sneakers in the secret. As for who is leading this drama, I don't know, but their target must be you, and it should have something to do with the big commotion in Wenshuihe. ”

Speaking of which, he added.

"By the way, the corpse salver surnamed Liu should know something inside, we came back together just now, but he hid something from me and didn't tell me. If you want to find out, you can ask him. ”

I kept my head down and didn't speak.

The drunkard was so tired that he didn't pay any attention to me, and fell asleep on the chair.

After a while, there was a shout outside the gate of my house.

"Chen Ping'an, Chen Ping'an, there is an accident in the River God Temple, and the River God is kneeling down to you!"
