Chapter 60: Master Faceless Officer

Our battle with the wild boar lasted from dusk until dark, and then we entered the "first line of heaven", but when we were resting through the white bone area, Song Laodao suddenly found that in the darkness not far away, there was a figure standing with his back to us

So Song Laodao and I quietly touched the figure, but just when we had just walked a dozen steps, a strange wind suddenly blew in the valley, blowing a chill on the back of my neck

I glanced back at the people behind me, and found that everyone basically thought they were asleep, only Director Ouyang and the big ear Dao were staring at us, I was worried that they would startle the snake, so I hurriedly made a silent gesture at them, and then turned around and quickly touched the black shadow

However, when he got closer to the figure, he found that this person had to be at least two meters tall, and I saw that he was wearing a copper-colored black gauze hat, a blue python robe, a Ruyi white jade belt around his waist, and a variety of official hat boots. From the back, it looks like an ancient official.

Seeing this, I immediately felt a little more suspicious in my heart, and I couldn't help but wonder to myself: "What age is this, how can anyone still dress up like this, and it just appears in this kind of ghost place, can we cross over?" Or maybe we've got a ghost! ”

Thinking like this, I hurriedly cast an inquiring look at Song Laodao, but Song Laodao responded to me with the same puzzled look

Since there is no answer, I have to go forward to see what is going on, whether it is a person or a ghost, I have to see him clearly!

Thinking of this, I immediately gestured to Song Laodao, meaning that we should outflank him on the left and right, in case he noticed and escaped.

Song Laodao immediately understood, and as soon as he was short, he touched it from the left side, while I moved from the right side step by step

However, when we went around to the front of the man, we found that the man's facial features looked extremely blurred, and I couldn't see the nose and eyes at all, so I thought it was because it was far away, so I moved a few steps forward

This time I finally saw this person's face clearly, but the moment I saw his face clearly, my whole body froze violently, and I gasped several times in a row!

Because I saw that this man's facial features were not blurred, but they were not at all, in other words, he had no face at all, or rather a faceless face, and the whole face was smooth, and it looked like a polished stone!

Damn, what's going on, am I hallucinating?

Just when I felt extremely frightened, Song Laodao suddenly laughed, and then he pointed to the man and said to me: "Damn, Lao Tzu was almost scared to death by "him", I thought it was a hell, but I didn't expect this thing to be a humanoid stone statue!" ”

Hearing his words, it dawned on me that I said that this goddamn man didn't move, and he didn't react when we got so close to him, it turned out that this faceling was actually just a stone statue!

After seeing that this was a stone statue, I immediately breathed a long sigh of relief, and then I realized that I had broken out in a cold sweat

Then we stepped forward and took a closer look at the statue, but found that it was almost the same as an ordinary stone statue except that it had no face, but I wondered why this good stone statue had no face, and could it be that the craftsman who carved it had forgotten?

However, what makes me feel the most strange is why this stone statue is in such a ghost place? Could it be that there is a stonemason living here?

This series of question marks made my head a little bigger, so I simply didn't think about it, but raised my hand and prepared to beckon Director Ouyang to come over and take a look.

Before I could wave to them, he and the Big-Eared Daoist were already walking towards them, but when they saw the statue, they both frowned at the same time

Director Ouyang and the big-eared Daoist looked back and forth around this stone statue for a long time, and finally showed a thoughtful expression.

After a while, Director Ouyang suddenly patted the stone statue on the shoulder, and then said to us excitedly: "I remember, I have seen a stone statue like this in the museum of the Imperial City, if I remember correctly, this stone statue seems to be called 'Master Faceless Officer'!" ”

"That's right, I've seen some records of this kind of stone statue, and according to legend, this 'Faceless Official' was made by a craftsman in the Song Dynasty." The big-eared Daoist suddenly took over Director Ouyang's words.

Then he told us about the origin of the faceless lord

Legend has it that this "faceless official master" was cast by a craftsman named "Tie Wulang" in the Song Dynasty, saying that in the last years of the Song Dynasty, when the world was in turmoil, the Jin soldiers, Khitan and other foreign races were eyeing the Central Plains, and the government of the Central Plains was a chaotic and corrupt phenomenon

At that time, in order to express his dissatisfaction with the current regime, this stonemason named Tie Wulang led a group of disciples to make 99 stone statues of the "Faceless Official" within a month, and secretly put them downstairs at the city gate at night to show the people's dissatisfaction with the government of the current dynasty

As a result, the emperor found out about this the next day, and the emperor was furious and immediately ordered Tie Wulang to be arrested and beheaded three days later

However, unexpectedly, on the day of the execution, Tie Wulang's disciples led a large group of green forest heroes who admired Tie Wulang to rob the Dharma field and rescue Tie Wulang from the knife. ”
