My behavior seemed to make the elder very satisfied, and he let out an indecipherable "um-hum" sound from his nose, and turned his head to move on.

And the little girl who was holding me before was still sobbing, and she seemed to be very uncomfortable when she was being held by the black-robed man, so I could only say, "Put her down." Let me hold the hand, believing that she can feel God's kindness from me, and dispel the fear of weakness from the bottom of my heart. ”

Naturally, such a request would not be refused, and the man in black put down the little girl.

I walked over and took her hand, looked at her as gently as I could, and explained a few words to her softly, all she saw were bad people who wanted to hurt us, and finally calmed her and stopped crying.

However, the hand that held me tightened and showed a strong attachment to me.

I have mixed feelings, not only because I am uncertain about this operation, which makes me feel that I can't protect myself, but also because these innocent lives are unreservedly entrusted to me at this time, how can I live up to them? Right now, judging from their eyes, they don't necessarily completely believe in this strange place, which is my performance just now, and they see it as their only hope.

I felt heaviness, and at this time, I suddenly remembered Shen Jingyun, and it seemed that I could subtly feel some of his moods and feelings.

A small storm passed, and the elder led us on.

In this strange bamboo forest, since the first corpse appeared, there will naturally be a second and a third...... The people walking beside me seemed to be starting to go numb and stop fussing as much as they used to.

It's just that I feel more and more obviously that there is a sharp aura in this bamboo forest. Even if it is invisible, it is like a cold and small knife, which makes my skin feel painful, and when I think about it, it seems to be an invisible illusion, which does not exist at all, because I don't have any wounds on my skin.

It's hard for me to express this ambivalence, but the sense of crisis is always lingering, which makes me more and more uneasy, and I can only hold on.

But no matter how difficult the road is, there is an end, and finally, after ten minutes, the red-robed elder who followed us walked out of this unsettling and frightening bamboo forest and walked in front of a building.

In such a dark night, the building was unusually brightly lit. And this light is finally not the weird blue-green light in the bamboo forest, but the normal yellow light. But in this world of electricity, the lights here are lit in the oldest way, and there are thick candles everywhere, and there are oil lamps with beautiful carvings that are not known as totems.

In any case, the light always makes people feel more at ease, not to mention that they have just experienced the strange bamboo forest, and now they have seen such light, and people are a little relaxed.

I began to look closely at the building, not so much as the building, but the temple full of Southeast Asian style. It occupies a small area, and some of them are like the three-in, three-out courtyards in ancient China, but they are only slightly larger than one-third.

The building has no gate, only an arched door frame, ornately carved, and if you look closely, it is a door frame formed by two huge pythons coiling upwards and meeting at the head.

After experiencing the corpse, the image of the python is not scary at all, but I don't know why, it is obviously a doorless gate, but I always feel that there is a layer of vague things shrouded in the door, like a transparent curtain, but in fact, if you look closely, there is none.

Because the courtyard behind the gate, which you can see through the gate, is made of a black smooth stone. Behind the courtyard is the main hall of the temple, in which a statue of the god is enshrined, but the whole statue is shrouded in black tulle, and it is vague that it is impossible to see what it is.

On both sides, however, there is a long cloister covered with fine straw mats. On top of the straw mat sat a dozen red-robed elders, each holding a strange handiwork.

In front of them was an incense burner, on which light smoke curled, and with their long breaths, the light smoke formed a dragon of smoke into their nostrils, and after a while, it turned into a white breath and exhaled from their mouths.

It's all weird and psychedelic, and it's so unreal that it's going to sink you. The people behind me seemed to have forgotten their fears, looking at everything in this building, they were intoxicated and religious, even the little girl I was holding in her eyes showed a look of yearning, after experiencing the torture of the pressure and horror in the village, the appearance of such a temple was like a kind of spiritual support.

There is no horror and gore here, and in the quiet, it gives people a mysterious peace.

And what is behind the hall, I'm afraid no one here cares except me.

While I was carefully observing all this, the red-robed elder stopped, turned his head to look at me, and said, "Holy Maiden, our Son of God, that is, the Godson, is already waiting for you in the apse, so please take these devout believers to meet the Godson." ”

But I didn't know how to go to the so-called apse, so I had to say quietly: "There are a few people in the group, and I hope the elders will continue to lead the way." I am alone for fear that something will disturb God's peace. ”

This is also reasonable, after all, this kind of place should be the important place of the cult, and I am not afraid of what these people can do, and if they make a small mess, I am afraid that they will also make the godson unhappy, right?

The elder nodded in agreement without thinking about it, so he turned to the black-robed men and said, "There is nothing for you here, and you are not qualified to enter the temple. Stand down, wait there, and someone will lead you out. As for the credit for your return with the Holy Maiden and the new believers along the way, the church will naturally have clear rewards and punishments. ”

Naturally, those black-robed people would not object, and after hearing this, they all bowed down according to their words and deeds, but one of the black-robed people took a deep look at me.

He disguised it well, wearing a cloak, and it was not easy to be noticed, perhaps because of his sensitivity, but he noticed it.

I didn't have any expression, so I naturally followed the red-robed elder into it, but I already had a guess in my heart, this black-robed man was probably Shen Jingyun's spy who worked hard to arrange in it, but it was not necessarily, because he took the little girl away just now, relieved me at a critical time, and let me have a buffer space, and he was the one who thought about how to deal with it.

This discovery made me feel a little relieved, after all, with his existence, even if there are any unforeseen variables in the plan, he should be able to control it, right?

With such apprehension and uncertainty, I followed behind the red-robed elder into the arched gate surrounded by two snakes. When I entered the door, it was like correspondingly to my illusion, it was an empty door without a gate, but I walked in, but there was a wonderful sense of penetration, as if I had passed through something light and thin.

I was very unsure of this feeling, so I quietly glanced at the people around me, but they didn't have any slight abnormalities, and they followed into the main hall normally.

As soon as I entered the hall, I immediately smelled a strange fragrance that filled the air, this smell was very special, it was definitely not the smell of any perfume or incense in the world, it was like the breath of the human body, with warmth, as if it had just been bathed, and it exuded the natural and beautiful fragrance of a woman with steam.

The smell was a bit intoxicating, and the people around me all showed expressions of indulgence, especially the red-clothed elder, who deliberately stopped, stopped and took a deep breath of the breath.

I don't know why, but I was a little resistant to this smell, although it was good at first, the smell could not be smelled, and the feeling of smelling it was like lying on an arm with a wound, and I could not only smell the smell of that person, but also the smell of blood under the skin! I was sick to my stomach.

By this time, I had determined that the source of the smell was the light smoke of the incense burner from the red-clothed elders sitting on either side.

I endured this feeling of nausea very hard, but fortunately, the red-clothed elder only stopped for a moment and continued to walk towards the main hall. I breathed a sigh of relief, but the people around me had become confused, including the little girl, who had loosened her hand in her hand, her eyes changed from clear to misty, and there was an unnatural yearning smile on the corner of her mouth.

Naturally, I wouldn't make any moves at this time, and I was lucky to be able to stay awake, so I had to move on. Enduring the discomfort in my nose, and the strange warmth of the supposedly cold and smooth rock on the soles of my feet, I wonder what lies beneath this rock?

The courtyard was not very large, and we quickly walked through it and entered the main hall.

And at that moment, I felt that the red-clothed elders who didn't react when we came in, all their eyes stayed on us, and even though they didn't look back, I had a feeling that they were thorny, and I felt that those eyes were full of greed.

However, I could only force my composure.

Instead, when we entered the main hall, the red-clothed elder who was in charge of guiding us stopped again, turned to all the people, and said, "When you see the statue of the great god left in the world, you must not turn a blind eye, but worship it sincerely." Holy Maiden, should these people know the rules? ”

"Yes." I replied that since these people were the believers recruited by the Holy Maiden, this rule should be known.

The red-clothed elder nodded and hummed, and he first worshipped the idol according to the understanding of the Cult of Evil Gods.

Then it was my turn, and I naturally knew the worship actions of the Cult, so I had to pretend to pick up the black incense unique to the Cult, walked over, and began to worship the idol.

But when the incense and candle were inserted, and I was about to get up, I suddenly felt the black veil covering the idol blowing not far above my head. In the black veil, a pair of eyes were staring at me.
