After waiting for a while, seeing that there was no abnormality in the swamp, I took Yunshang and Lu Shengcai to explore the periphery of the swamp.

The area of the black swamp is not as large as I imagined, at best it is only the size of half a football field, but it is surrounded by giant trees, and the sun does not penetrate it, and the sky above the swamp is completely shrouded in darkness.

Directly east of the swamp, we found a path covered in trees and weeds, and it was impossible to tell with our vision how long the path was and what it was at its end because of the fog as far as the eye could see.

After going around the swamp and finding no other useful clues, the three of us summed it up, intending to take a risk and go to the side of the path to find out the situation.

The road was also much shorter than expected, and it took less than half an hour to walk on the weeds, and it was a man-made clearing.

On the periphery of the clearing, there is a rather complex ecstasy array, but this array should have been arranged a long time ago, the person who arranged the array is like a master, and all the details in the array have been handled very skillfully, but after all, it is a year, and the spiritual rhyme that fills the maze is very thin, and it can no longer interfere with us.

The vegetation in the surrounding area is extremely lush, but in this clearing, there is not a shadow of half a wisp of wild grass, and the ground has also cracked in a large area due to long-term water loss.

In the middle of the clearing, there is an old brick temple, this temple does not know how many years of solitude here, the roof tiles of the temple are covered with loess, fortunately, the main building structure has not been broken, it can be seen that the people who built it in the first place, but a lot of thought has been spent on it.

Yunshang glanced at the old temple, and then leaned to my side and said, "There is a very heavy gang qi in the temple, and there may be a town thing. ”

Every time she whispered, she liked to stand on her tiptoes and press her chin on my shoulder, which made me feel very ashamed.

Before my face was red, I quickly reminded her: "This girl, can you not press my shoulders every time you speak?" ”

"What's wrong?"

"Your jaw shell is like an awl, and it makes me feel pained."

Yunshang shook me with a wide eye and slammed my shoulder with her chin before retreating contentedly.

Lu Shengcai asked me in surprise, "Why is your face so red?" ”

I said my shoulder was hurt and it hurt.

Yunsheng's chin is not so sharp, and it is not so hard, I am ashamed!

In fact, Yunshang at that time was far less complicated than my mind, the reason why she liked to whisper to me was completely due to habit, and I also learned later that when she was in Shejia Valley, whenever she whispered with sisters who had a good relationship, she also liked to put her chin on other people's shoulders.

Really, at that time, in the eyes of Yunshang, I was a good sister who was in love, and people had no other ideas.

Ay? Good sisters? No, it's a good partner, yes, a good partner.

Lu Shengcai kept looking at me with strange eyes, I felt empty, and I walked to the old temple without thinking too much.

When I arrived at the gate of the old temple, I saw that the thick wooden beams were embedded with seven fast magnets, these magnets were all black, at first glance they looked like coal ash attached to the beams, they were arranged according to the star position of the Big Dipper, each magnet was slightly deviated, pointing in seven different directions.

These things should be the formation of the maze, I thought to myself, and raised my legs and crossed the threshold.

Thick dust can be seen everywhere in the old temple, take the sole of your foot and gently step on the ground, you can leave very clear footprints, here you must press the step forward, the action is a little bigger, the ground will be a lot of dust, until people cough out their lungs.

The windows on the temple wall were all nailed with wooden boards, and the deeper I went, the darker my vision became, so I could only light the ghost candle and rely on the unstable firelight to light the way forward.

When I walked to the end of the old temple, I saw a stone statue standing near the inner wall, at first the fire could only faintly illuminate its outline, I just thought it looked a little familiar, and after getting closer, I saw that this stone statue was the same as the one in the pure hall.

It's just that it's larger and has facial features carved on its face.

It was a ghost-faced, fanged rakshasa face, a pair of fangs sticking out diagonally from the lower lip like two long, narrow cones.

I moved to the front of the statue and held the candle high, and in the light of the fire, the Rakshasa face became clearer, and in its left eye socket was a black magnet the size of a coin, the stone was pressed quite deeply, and the perimeter was fixed with glutinous rice glue. But the magnet in the right eye socket has been dug up, and there are clearly visible knife marks around the eye socket.

Lu Shengcai pointed to the stone statue: "Is this guy a man or a woman, he looks like a woman, but how can there be such a strong woman in the world?" ”

I said are you stupid, if you look at its face, it's not human at all.

Lu Shengcai nodded, and asked me again, is it male or female?

I pondered for a long time before I said with certainty, "It should be the mother." ”

"There's something wrong with the two of you, work this kind of meaningless thing, come here!"

As soon as Yunshang screamed like this, I realized that she had already run three or four meters away, and at this time, the soft light emitted from her body illuminated a small door in the corner of the wall.

I didn't delay, and immediately pressed my steps to come over.

It's too dark in the temple, if Yunshang hadn't discovered the door, it is estimated that Lu Shengcai and I would have discussed it in front of the stone statue for a while and should have withdrawn, and the most important clue in the entire old temple was hidden in the small room behind the door.

In the center of the room stood an ancient stele made of white stone, which must be older than the old temple itself, and the entire stele had long been smoothed, leaving only a few extremely vague handwriting.

To this day, I can still sense the strong aura from the stone tablet.

Gang, the four righteous also, the heart is right, the body is right, the words are right, the deeds are right, the heaven and the earth are heroic, and the Tiangang righteousness is the first Qi.

But anything that can exude this kind of aura is an evil suppression holy weapon, without exception.

And the person who built the temple put such a thing here, which is enough to show that not far from this temple, there must be an extremely powerful evil thing.

Lu Shengcai didn't cultivate, he couldn't sense the aura on the stone tablet, he probably felt bored, so he rummaged through the room east and west, and several old cabinets that were cracked and deformed were all turned over by him.

Yunshang and I carefully observed the stele, trying to deduce the content of the inscription from the few remaining handwritings, Lu Shengcai always made a fuss, and it didn't take long to annoy Yunshang, Yunshang suddenly stood up and grabbed Lu Shengcai's neckline: "You're endless, annoying!" ”

Lu Shengcai shrugged his shoulders in fright on the spot, but at the same time he tried his best to stabilize his body: "Don't be startled, scare me, everything is almost broken." ”

It was only then that I noticed that Lu Shengcai was holding a black object in his hand, the light was too dim, and I couldn't see what it was.
