Chapter 36: The Statue of Terror
Night, and a familiar night.
Lu Qiu was wordless, and was once again woken up by the sound of singing. She didn't get up, she just frowned.
What's going on? This is the second time, and it stands to reason that in the inner world, the same condition will not be triggered twice in a person......
And the last time she woke up, the little feet didn't do anything to her. Isn't that a condition that triggers death?
Lu Qiu lay on the bed speechlessly, his brain clearing the clues found in the past few days. She recalled the location of the window where Song Yinan died yesterday, the place with the hole was in the center, and the position of the little foot she saw last time was higher.
If you were in that position, you wouldn't be able to see what was overhead. But it can't be ruled out that those little feet will flutter on their own.
It's a woman who sings, so is the tablet in the backyard hers? The women's tablets should all be in the ancestral hall, why is there a separate tablet in that abandoned courtyard?
"Where do you find those who know your heart—"
The sound of singing came to the window, and it was still in the same position, the feet of a woman the size of a palm in embroidered cloth shoes.
Lu Qiu Wuyan had a guess in her heart, and she was not too afraid at this time, she stared at the red embroidered shoes to see what it wanted to do.
The sound of the singing was gone, and the night fell silent again.
After a long time, I only heard the sharp female voice sound again, but this time it was not singing, but a sentence:
"Watch out for him (her), she won't let anyone go-"
After saying this, the female voice disappeared again.
……
"I think we should go to that earthen temple once." At this time, just after breakfast, a man who seemed to be quite honest and reliable said to everyone.
Gu Chong remembered that his name was Ming Zhao.
It seems that he is a person with an excellent personality and leadership skills, and the people who have formed an alliance with him are also the most, basically the entire team is silent except for Lu Qiu, and they are all used to obeying Ming Zhao's words.
"To the earthen temple?" Someone asked questions, and Lu Qiu Wuyan and Gu Chong also looked at him. Song Yu, who was sitting in the corner, turned ugly, and she lowered her head to hide her emotions.
"That's right, because we found that the villagers were afraid to mention the earthen temple, so I thought there should be some important clues in it."
"Wouldn't going in be a condition that triggers death?"
This is also a matter of concern to everyone.
"Wouldn't it be okay if we went in at the same time?" Ming Zhao glanced around, "As long as everyone enters at the same time, even if it is a trigger condition, isn't it equivalent to invalidation?" ”
"I believe that everyone in the village has searched, and there should be no clues, if we don't fight now, the door will come out by then, and we will die without the key."
His words really touched everyone present.
"What should I do?" Gu Chong asked in a low voice, Lu Qiu nodded wordlessly, "What he said makes sense, when the time comes, we should be fine." ”
As a result, the crowd set off towards the earthen temple in a mighty manner.
"Lu Qiu, Sister Lu Qiu," At this time, Song Yu was behind, quietly holding Lu Qiu's speechless hand,
"I don't want to go to that earthen temple," she whispered.
Lu Qiu looked at her speechlessly and asked, "Why don't you want to go?" If you're scared, let's work together, and the trigger effect will be weakened, and we can protect you at night. ”
Song Yu shook her head, "I, I'm not, I," she couldn't say anything, but Lu Qiu sensed fear in her expression, not pretending.
"Alright then," Lu Qiu looked up without a word, and then lowered his head and said to her, "Then you slip out of the crowd and hide in the house, so that they don't find out that you're gone." ”
Song Yu nodded gratefully, and quietly ran away under the cover of Lu Qiu's speechlessness and Gu Chong.
"It's really strange," Lu Qiu looked at Song Yu who was leaving, and pursed his lips.
Soon, we came to the river in the village, where we could see the small temple that stood on the bare ground in the middle of the river.
The earthen temple is not big, the workmanship is not very fine, and it is still a little dilapidated after years of wind and frost. At this time, the temple door is tightly closed,
"How are we going to get there?"
At this time, they saw the raft parked on the shore, this time this raft was much more than the one Lu Qiu sat silently, and it was still wet, and it looked like it had just been used.
"Use this."
The raft can carry two people at a time, and the smaller ones can carry three people. Because of Gu Chong's size, the raft could only sit the two of them.
When everyone came to the earthen temple, they found that the earthen temple was bigger than they imagined. Lu Qiu was speechless and Gu Chong was behind the crowd, watching Ming Zhao push open the door.
"Crunch—"
The wooden door was pushed open, and a smell of dust came to the face, and the few people facing it couldn't help but squint their eyes and cough one after another.
"Ahem, cough, this is too choking, how long has it been since no one came to clean it."
Lu Qiu Wuyan and Gu Chong stood far away, not choking on the dust, Lu Qiu Wuyan rubbed his eyes and looked at the middle of the earth temple.
There sat a statue of a god more than a man tall, which seemed to be earthy, and it appeared taller and taller on the stone platform.
Blue-faced fangs, hideous face, angry eyebrows, wearing a crown full of spikes, holding a hammer in his left hand and a mace in his right hand. The left foot is raised high, and the body is leaning forward, giving people a great sense of oppression.
"What's this, what is this? Yes, is it a river god? "It doesn't look like a river god, it's an evil god.
"That's what they worshipped?" Everyone present gasped.
Lu Qiu looked at this evil god speechlessly, and felt a chill,
"This is not a good thing," Lu Qiu said in a wordless whisper to Gu Chong, "Let's not go in, find a way to leave first." With that, she pulled Gu Chong and began to retreat.
Ming Zhao was also a little stunned in his heart, but the idea was that he put it forward, how could he escape from the battle now?
"Don't be afraid, it's just a statue," he said, taking a deep breath and stepping into the earthen temple with one foot.
Suddenly, the eyes of the evil god seemed to move, staring at Ming Zhao who entered the temple, and the people who looked at the bloody mouth and the sharp fangs in it were very frightened.
"Look, it's okay," Ming Zhao said as he turned his head and said to the people behind him, who hesitated for a moment and followed him in.
Suddenly!
"Bang!"
The door of the earth temple was slammed shut, and Ming Zhao and the two people were locked inside.
"it!"
"Ahh
There were incessant screams from the earthen temple, and the sound of flesh being torn, and even the crunching sound of chewing could be heard, and the people who had gathered in front of the door suddenly retreated in panic, so close that even the sound of blood splashing could be heard clearly.
At this time, Lu Qiu Wuyan and Gu Chong had already begun to untie the rope, and the two people who were still alive, one was Xie Jinyu, and the other was a very thin man, and they also ran over to follow Lu Qiu Wuyan to untie the rope.
"How could this be?!" The thin man said in a panic, although Xie Jinyu's face was blue, he didn't speak, and the movements of his hands were fast.
The raft was untied, but fortunately, the remaining two people were very slender, although the raft would sink a little slower, but at this time, it couldn't take care of so much, and no one dared to stay in this place and face this terrifying idol.
Just as the raft was drifting to the other side, the door of the earthen temple slowly opened again, and all four of them saw that the original land was soaked with blood, and the ground was covered with scraps of flesh and bones, and the statue of the god was still terrifying.
It's just that its sharp teeth are covered with minced flesh, and drops of blood are dripping from its mouth.
