35. Enemies
The village chief only took me to the end of the village.
We don't need him to do anything more here, and with the help of Mud Arhat and White Tiger, the muddy and slippery ground is not too much of an obstacle for us. We went up the hill behind the village, and there was really no way outside, so we climbed a small hill in the direction that the village chief pointed us out, and then we saw the mountain temple in the distance.
The mountain temple was much bigger than I had imagined, and I couldn't tell what kind of materials it was made of because of the distance, but it was certain that the mountain temple was definitely more advanced and sturdy than the villagers' houses.
"That temple seems to be old, maybe it's really dedicated to some mountain god." Chang Ledao.
Without the crazy superstitious villagers of the mountain gods, we wouldn't have to disguise ourselves anymore.
"What if there really is a god in that temple? I can't use the ten-punch sword anymore. I said.
"If it really doesn't work, just do the old way, if you can't kill it, you can still break it up." Qiao Wei said as he patted him on the waist. Before leaving, we specially asked Chang Le to get us a few pistols, not only Qiao Wei, but I also had a gun on my body, this gun has no effect on the god, but it can kill the body containing the god.
"Got it, anyway, it's going to be killed, it's the same with a knife and a gun." I nodded in response, and then took out the pistol on my hand, checked the magazine and insurance, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong with the pistol, I motioned for Qiao Wei and Chang Le to move on.
The four of us soon arrived at the mountain temple, which, as I had assumed, was made of stone, and the shape was very old, and it was estimated that it would have been standing here for hundreds of years, to say the least. Standing at the main entrance of the temple, we can see a stone statue enshrined inside, which looks very similar to a mud arhat at a cursory glance, and it is also thick, and has two arms that are completely disproportionate to the body.
In addition to the strange statue of the mountain god in the center, there are also statues of the four holy beasts of the Green Dragon, the Vermilion Bird, the Xuanwu and the White Tiger standing around.
"No wonder those villagers fully believe that we are the gods of the mountain, the mud arhat and the white tiger, this is the manifestation of the gods in the mountain temple! We're lucky. I said.
"Really? I think it's good luck for the people in the village. If it weren't for this coincidence, it is estimated that all those people in the village would have suffered by now. Chang Ledao.
What Chang Le said was indeed the truth, and I was about to express my approval, but before I could speak, there was a sudden movement in the mountain temple! There was a loud bang like thunder, and then the ground near the entire mountain temple began to shake violently.
This had happened a few times before when we were in the village, but this time it was noticeably louder and the ground was moving more intensely, and the mountain temple was obviously the source of the disturbance in the mountain.
I, Qiao Wei, and Ye Chen are all on the body of the clay arhat, this big clay figure can firmly stick our legs on the ground, and the three of us only need to hold it to ensure that our bodies are balanced. "Ya * Wen * Yan * Love * First * Hair"
I thought the muffled and shaking would end soon, but this time my judgment was clearly a little wrong, and the muffled sound did stop for a while, but it didn't take long for it to ring again, and then again, and again. Like the rhythm of the loud noise, the shaking of the ground is intermittent, and it is perfectly matched by the rise and fall of the loud noise.
I put my hands around the head of the clay arhat, and all ten fingers had been dug deep into the mud, and at the same time I shouted, "Qiao Wei! What can you see?!! ”
"Nothing, no yin, everything is normal!!" Qiao Weiwei replied loudly.
"Changle?!" I shouted again.
"I didn't find it here, hold on first!"
Chang Le's voice came from the mountain temple, and when the earthquake began, I was only concerned about protecting myself, and I didn't pay attention to Chang Le's movements, it seemed that he was looking for clues in the temple.
The loud noises and shaking continued, but as time went on, the sound and shaking began to fade away, until the sound stabilized to a level I could tolerate, and the shaking allowed me to barely keep my balance. And when everything calmed down, I was amazed at what I discovered!
Knock Knock ~ Knock Knock ~ ......
"It's like a fucking heartbeat!" I said loudly.
"It's very similar!" Qiao Wei nodded and said, "If it's really a heartbeat, then this thing is not small!" ”
Qiao Wei's words immediately reminded me of a huge guy.
The door god on the pilgrimage island is the biggest guy I've ever met in my life, and if that guy had a heart, his heartbeat would be very loud. If what we hear now is really the sound of a heartbeat, then the guy with this heart is at least ten times bigger than the door god!
We waited at the gate of the mountain temple for a while, the rhythmic knocking sound did not stop at all, and the shaking of the ground was still continuing, but nothing else happened, so Qiao Wei and I simply got off the mud arhat, and then went into the mountain temple to see the situation, and Ye Chen continued to stay with the mud arhat, let the mud arhat ensure his safety.
I don't know if it's my mental effect, but after entering the mountain temple, I obviously felt that the "heartbeat" seemed to become stronger, but the shaking of the ground on the contrary weakened.
"Did you notice that the sound was getting louder?" I said to Qiao Wei.
"It's the sound of the house. The degree of shaking of the ground is obviously small, and if it is a heartbeat, then this heart may not be in this temple. Qiao Wei analyzed very calmly.
Regardless of whether the facts were as Qiao Wei said, the two of us still checked around the house very carefully, especially the stone statue enshrined in the middle of the temple. I didn't think much of it when I looked at it outside, but when I looked at it again, I realized that the stone statue was a replica of a clay arhat.
The more I looked, the more strange it became.
There is no such god with huge arms in Chinese mythology, not even among monsters, perhaps this is an indigenous god of a certain ethnic minority in Yunnan, or it may be an alien god from some neighboring countries.
"Qiao Wei, why don't you try to control this stone statue?" I proposed.
"Control it? It's impossible, I don't feel it at all. ”
"Feeling...... What is the meaning? "I don't quite understand what Qiao Wei is trying to say.
"This explanation is quite complicated, it is like a kind of telepathy, now that the mud arhat is outside, I don't need to look with my eyes to feel its existence, but this stone statue doesn't feel that way, so I can't control it."
"Then try to establish the kind of feeling you said with him, I always feel that there should be some kind of connection between it and the mud arhat. By the way, didn't your mother tell you why the clay arhat has that kind of long arms? ”
"I really haven't said this, and I haven't asked! Huh? Do you think this is some Thai or Indian god? ”
"I was thinking about this! Anyway, you can try it, and you might be able to find some clues from this stone statue. I urged.
Qiao Wei nodded, then ran to the outside of the mountain temple to grab a handful of mud and ran back, and then used the method of summoning mud Arhat to throw the mud on the huge long-arm stone statue. Then, Qiao Wei stood in front of the stone statue, touching the mud stuck to the stone statue with his hand and closing his eyes.
Suddenly, the knocking sound that had been going on just now was gone! The shaking of the ground has also completely stopped! At the same time, there was a distinct rattling sound of stones grinding against the statue's neck, and the statue was turning its head!
"It's moving! Qiao Wei, it moved!! I patted Qiao Wei on the shoulder excitedly.
However, Qiao Wei ignored me, he still kept his eyes closed and maintained the action just now.
Chang Le also ran from the back of the mountain temple to the hall at this time, and I quickly asked him to see the head of the stone statue.
As soon as I was shouting to Chang Le, the stone statue immediately cooperated with me to make a new move, its originally closed eyes slowly opened, and when its eyelids opened, a pair of living eyes were revealed!
The two eyeballs turned as fast as a convulsion independently, and after a frenzy of movement, they stared straight at me and Qiao Wei.
The sudden change was so amazing that I never expected it to happen, and I couldn't help but exclaim.
Qiao Wei also opened his eyes suddenly, and quickly bounced away from the stone statue as if he had been electrocuted, and then he also shouted at me with a nervous expression: "Run! Get out! Hurry up!!! ”
I didn't have time to ask why, judging from Qiao Wei's expression, I knew that something must have happened, so I quickly turned my head and ran towards the door, but before I could run to the door, the stone statue with living eyeballs stood up from where it was sitting with a bang, and one of its huge arms also slapped towards me!
"I rely on !!"
I exclaimed, then quickly made a sharp turn to the right and made a quick displacement. The huge stone slap slammed into the ground less than a meter away from me, and I was shaken up by the slap after I fell to the ground.
Qiao Wei and Chang Le didn't just run away by themselves, they also ran over and reached out to pull me up from the ground at the same time as I fell, and before the stone statue could launch any more attacks on me, we had already run outside the mountain temple.
But running out did not mean that the crisis was over, and the big stone statue immediately ran out of the temple with a bang, and the temple gate for people to enter and exit was destroyed by him in one fell swoop, and stones and tiles flew everywhere with its impact.
"Ye Chen! Go down!!! Qiao Wei shouted as he ran.
Ye Chen, who was on the mud arhat, was stunned for a moment, and then quickly jumped to the ground. As soon as he left the Arhat, the Arhat strode towards the temple and pushed the statue with its thick arms.
I also turned around to see the duel between the two big guys after the mud arhat passed by, and this time it also made my heart beat faster, because the two eyes of the stone statue were still staring straight at me! It's obviously fucking coming for me!
The clay arhat soon got close to the stone statue, but the clay arhat was made of mud, and there was no way to compare with the stone in terms of strength, and the two big guys had just collided together, and the stone statue suddenly threw a horizontal punch, and the upper body of the clay arhat was completely beaten to pieces.
Fortunately, the surrounding mud is endless, Qiao Wei immediately grabbed several handfuls of mud on the ground and threw them towards the stone statue, the mud rolled quickly on the ground and soon formed three rough but huge mud arhats, although one of them was broken by the stone statue at the moment of formation, but the other two dragged the stone statue from the side and back, so that he could not do anything to me for the time being.
A few of us took this opportunity to quickly run more than twenty meters away to open the distance, and before I could ask, Qiao Wei had already spoken: "What a bad idea you came up with, this is a fucking doppelganger of Shiva, didn't you kill a Hindu god of war before?" This guy is the Hindu god of destruction, and he is in league with the Great Black Sky! ”
"How could the god of Ah San come to Yunnan?!! I complained.
"How do I know! Didn't Ah San's god also trouble you in the Northeast before! Qiao Wei immediately retorted.
And just as we were complaining to each other, the stone statue had already swung its arms hard and smashed the two clay arhats wrapped around it, and then ran towards me again......
