The three of us were planning to check out the River Temple, and Full Moon immediately became excited and volunteered to go with us.

Full Moon's mother sighed. said, "Stop." Three days later, the people in the village are going to sacrifice you, why are you still tossing like this? Think about how to escape for your life. ”

Full Moon said: "With the help of these three gentlemen, I can naturally save my life." I'm taking them to the River Temple now to save their lives. ”

Full Moon's mother looked sad and said, "Go ahead." Go ahead, I can't control you. ”

Then she blew out the candle, groped her way up two steps, and lay down on top of the clay kang.

It seems that she is used to living a hard life, and she knows that this candle is brought by us, but she still can't get used to seeing it keep it on.

The full moon took us out to find the River Temple.

The village is so quiet that it is estimated that these people are tired after tossing in the middle of the night, so they should fall asleep at this time.

Full Moon whispered: "I feel that the three of you are not ordinary people, what are you doing?" ”

I laughed and said, "What are you looking at me like for?" ”

Full Moon thought for a while and said, "The underworld? ”

I was stunned for a moment, and asked faintly, "Why am I like the underworld?" ”

Full Moon said, "You have a big knife behind your back. What is not the underworld? ”

I laughed and said, "This big knife is not used to cut people, it is used to kill ghosts." ”

Full Moon suddenly realized: "I know, you are Taoist priests." ”

I nodded and said, "That's right, we're Taoist priests." ”

Full Moon nodded: "No wonder you dare to stay." Only Taoist priests are not afraid of hemp ropes, and those people pretend to be ghosts. ”

She paused and said, "I've never heard of a serious immortal offering a human sacrifice. There's nothing in the river. Either there's a youkai living there. Since the three of you are Taoist priests, it shouldn't be a problem to subdue a monster, right? ”

I said, "We can't guarantee that this monster is not powerful." ”

And Mr. Lu seized the opportunity and boasted again: "Don't worry, I'm here." You can catch any demon or monster. ”

I wanted to laugh at him and brag, but after thinking about it, Mr. Lu had the confidence to brag this time.

We looked like three people, but in fact there were a lot of helpers, spying on the neighborhood. Just the women of Anle Temple, the river gods here can't be provoked.

We followed the full moon for a while and saw the temple from afar. This temple is magnificent, placed in a dilapidated village, very incongruous.

Xue Qian said: "This is a temple, it is simply a palace." ”

Full Moon chimed in, "Isn't it? The goddess lived in it like an emperor's life. ”

Xue Qian asked, "How many people live in such a big temple?" ”

Full Moon said, "There are only the goddess and her apprentice, two people in all. ”

I said, "What about their children?" ”

Full Moon said: "From the moment their children were born, they were given to the villagers. Never recognize each other again. ”

I wondered, "Why is that?" ”

Full Moon said: "They gave the children to the villagers. It means that he will serve the river god wholeheartedly and no longer be nostalgic for his family and relatives. Moreover, their children are in the hands of the villagers, as if they are hostages, indicating that they will not do anything to harm the villagers, otherwise, the villagers can kill their children. ”

I said, "The river woman conveyed the meaning of the river god and asked the villagers to sacrifice, and I don't know how many people were killed, isn't this considered a harm to the villagers?" ”

Full Moon sighed. said: "There are people like hemp rope who are demagogic. Not only did the villagers not think that they had been deceived, but they thought that they could please the river god and bring good fortune to themselves. ”

The three of us whispered as we circled the river temple. The temple walls were so high that none of us had the ability to jump on them. Fork length cloth number.

Only Mr. Lu took two steps back, ran for a while, kicked his right foot on the wall, and with a slight bit of force, his body flew to the top of the temple wall.

When Mr. Lu borrowed strength on the temple wall, he was already very careful, and only made a soft noise, but he was still heard.

I heard someone inside the temple shouting, "Who's outside?" "When I heard the voice, it seemed to be of hemp rope. I wondered in my heart: "Why did the hemp rope appear in the River Temple at night?" It seems that Full Moon is right, he and the goddess are in collusion with each other. ”

Mr. Lu turned to us and said, "Get out of the way." ”

Then, he pressed his body against the wall, and with the cover of night, it was difficult to spot him.

The three of us ran two steps and hid in the corner.

A few seconds later, I heard the temple door open. Immediately afterward, there was a sound of footsteps coming towards us.

There was a bright light on the ground, and the man was supposed to be carrying a lantern. I wondered in my heart: "The hemp rope is very stingy, and I have to curse two sentences when I see other people's houses lighting oil lamps, why do I now pour the lantern and light it myself?" ”

As if he knew where the three of us were hiding, his footsteps could not be heard without the slightest hesitation, and he walked straight towards us.

When he was about ten paces away from us, I suddenly smelled a foul smell. The smell was very light, and it was sent by the night wind, and it made people frown.

I've seen a lot of ghosts, and I've dealt with corpses, and I immediately understood that this is the smell of corpses. I frowned, and took a closer look. The stench must have emanated from the hemp rope.

I was shocked: "Could it be that this guy is dead?" ”

Seeing that the hemp rope is about to come to us. I whispered to Xue Qian and Full Moon: "Hold your breath, don't breathe." ”

The two of them didn't know what was going on, but they both covered their mouths and noses.

After we all held our breath, the hemp rope stopped. I heard him muttering something in his mouth. Then he turned around and walked away.

Another gust of wind blew, and I smelled the stench of corpses again, which was very faint, as if it had been deliberately covered up by something else. If it weren't for my well-informed, eighty percent would have thought that hemp rope was not hygienic, so there was some smell on my body.

A few seconds later, the gates of the River Temple rang again. It should have been a hemp rope carrying a lantern to go in.

I whispered to the full moon, "Who does hemp rope live with?" Is there any gossip in the village that something is wrong with the hemp rope? ”

Full Moon said: "The wife of the hemp rope has long since died. He had no children, and lived on his own. ”

I nodded, thinking, "No wonder no one noticed something was wrong with him." ”

As I was thinking, a hand hung over my head. Immediately followed by Mr. Lu's voice: "Come one by one, I'll pull you up." ”

Mr. Lu was lying on the wall, while I stood below, first lifted the full moon up, and then sent Xue Qian up. Subsequently, I was also dragged up by Mr. Lu.

The four of us sat on the wall and looked into the room.

I whispered to Mr. Lu, "There's something wrong with the hemp rope, do you see it?" ”

Mr. Lu asked, "What's wrong?" ”

I said, "I'm afraid this kid is dead." I could smell the stench of corpses on him. ”

Mr. Lu looked at me in surprise and said, "Impossible, he still has breathing." ”

I looked at him strangely and asked, "Can a dead man breathe?" ”

Mr. Lu said, "This old man shouldn't be dead yet." ”

Then he pointed to the courtyard and said, "Shall we go down and have a look?" We all nodded.

Mr. Lu grabbed the wall with both hands, and his body slowly slid down. Gently landed on the ground. The three of us followed his example and jumped into the courtyard.

And I'm glad that everyone didn't go on a business trip cuò, and stood quietly in the yard.

I asked the full moon, "Where does the goddess live?" ”

Full Moon shook her head: "I've never been here, who knows where she lives?" ”

Mr. Lu turned his ear sideways and said, pointing to a room not far away, and said, "There is a voice over there." ”

Then, he walked us over.

The four of us were lying under the wall, and sure enough, there were a few people talking inside.

I poked my head out and saw three people sitting in the room. One of them is hemp rope. On the opposite side of the hemp rope sat a woman in her forties, who was very beautiful, probably a goddess. And next to the goddess, there was a teenager who was beating her legs. This young man is also extremely handsome, probably the apprentice of the goddess
