Chapter 10: The Temple of Lost Souls

When I opened my eyes again, I saw a giant staring at me in front of me, and I was startled and jumped up. After standing still, the pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info realized that it was actually a statue of a god more than three meters high standing on the altar. The idol was dressed in a tuxedo-like robe, with bare feet, and its hands were one high and one low, holding something in the shape of a thing, but there was nothing in the hands. The most peculiar thing is that he actually wears a mask.

The mask is also very strange, its eyebrows are raised, its eyes are obliquely long, and the eyeballs are also very exaggerated, and they are actually columnar and longitudinally protruding, looking like they are about ten centimeters long. The two ears are also very peculiar in shape, fully unfolding towards both sides, like the image of "tailwind ears" in film and television works. The bridge of the nose is very short, but the wings of the nose are curled upwards and inward like a bull's nose. What's even more bizarre is that this mask is actually smiling, and the mouth slit that slightly exposes the tip of the tongue is deep and long, because it is raised, you can see that the mouth is very wide and deep.

It was a strange feeling, déjà vu but I couldn't tell where I had seen it, so I turned my face away, only to find myself in a ruined temple, next to the pillar on the left side of the temple. And on the ground in the middle of the temple, there was actually a fire burning.

I subconsciously looked at the temple gate and found that it was already completely dark. It was at this time that Na Nismoru, holding a rabbit in one hand and a flashlight in the other, walked in.

I immediately became angry, rushed up in a rage, grabbed him by the collar with both hands, and yelled, "Who the are you?" ”

My intuition told me that I came to this bird place, and I definitely had nothing to do with him.

As it turned out, my instincts were right. After I gritted my teeth, this guy even smiled and said, "Young man, don't be so angry. ”

Why is this so familiar? And this Nismoruo's voice is obviously much older than before. I was confused, and my mind was turning rapidly, and suddenly a gentle and elegant image flashed.

"You are?" I let go of his collar and said in a daze.

"Good boy, they all say that they eat/water/don't forget to dig wells, you have only been a few days, and you have forgotten about me, an old fellow?" Nismoruo threw the rabbit to the ground, then lifted his hand to the root of his ear, and immediately tore off a piece of human skin mask, and an old face appeared in front of him.

It's really a good professor.

It's just that Professor Liang at this time seems to be more than twenty years old, and he is no longer the vigorous image of the day, and he looks more like an old man in the year of the wind and candle.

Professor Liang also noticed my expression, smiled "hehehe", and said, "Don't waste the rabbit, roast it and eat it." ”

I'm a little baffled, what is this good professor making trouble, even if you want to put aside Qiushui them, you don't need such an extreme method, right? Could it be that something stimulated it?

"Professor Liang, what's going on?" I asked.

Professor Liang cleaned up the rabbit's fur after dividing it by two, and then put a stick on it and put it on the stick next to the fire, before turning his face to me and saying, "Sooner or later, what happened to Lao Zhou." But we can't go on like this, we have to give them a warning. ”

Didn't Professor Liang leave Quanhua before Teacher Zhou was killed? How do you know everything about this? But who are "they"?

Seeing me frowning, Professor Liang suddenly smiled bitterly: "An Ran, no matter what, things can only be in your hands." Remember, anyone can be a potential hazard. ”

Professor Liang's words were very vague, and I asked him several times later, but he was vague and had to give up.

At this time, the rabbit was roasted, and the fragrance was overflowing, which immediately aroused my cravings. In addition, he has been hungry for most of the day, and he has long been a little unable to support it, so he pulled a rabbit leg and gnawed it. As for who "they" are, they are also thrown out of the clouds.

After the two of us had eaten and drunk, Professor Liang wiped the corners of his mouth, then stood up, swept his eyes around the temple, and said, "Everything in this temple is exactly the same as the temple where we entered the coffin tomb thirty years ago. But dare I say, it's definitely not the same. After I was born with An Mu, I had already blown up the temple. But why is there an identical one here? ”

I can't help but wonder if this temple was built to benefit one party. And the Lost Soul Valley in the depths of Mozhugou is not a place where people come and go, at most enter a lost cattle herder, and the meaning of the construction of this temple is very vague. Moreover, wild animals are rampant here, and the plants are strange, and even if there are true believers, it is estimated that they will not come in to worship.

But the strange thing is this, in a broken incense burner bowl on the offering table in front of the idol, there are still three burnt incense sticks, which are obviously someone who came not long ago.

Professor Liang apparently found this suspicion as well, and said, "It can't be such a coincidence. The temple can be imitated, but the statue of the god on it can never be copied, it is a bronze long-eyed man. Besides, there have been people who have come to worship before, so there must be some special significance.

As soon as Professor Liang said this, I suddenly realized that it was no wonder that this statue felt so familiar. In the past, the old director of the orphanage also had a drawing book of line drawings, and there were statues of this type of gods recorded on it.

Professor Liang immediately took out two sapper shovels from his backpack, threw one to me, and said, "It is very likely that this place is the same as the previous temple, and carefully look for something special." ”

If there is anything special about this temple, in my opinion, except for the statue of the god, it is almost the same as an ordinary temple. In a space of about a dozen square meters, there is a column on the left and right, and on one side of the column is a wall, on which there are some simple murals.

On the opposite side of the wall, there is a shrine platform about one meter wide and about one meter five high. The white lime on the outer wall of the shrine is peeling off in large areas, and you can see the green bricks inside. I knocked it up with a sapper shovel, and the sound was solid, so there could be no secret passages or anything like that.

Looking at the entire temple, it was such a big place, and the two of us knocked a few times, but there was still nothing. Just when the two of them were puzzled, there was a sudden knock on the door.

I said in my heart that it was so dark and blind, and it was a wilderness, and it was supposed that there should not be such a sound, and my heart suddenly became nervous. So he took the sapper shovel in his hand and walked gradually towards the door.

At this time, Professor Liang also walked over and said softly, "There may be a situation!" “

I nodded, and then slammed the sapper shovel towards the door, but immediately after, there was a crisp "clang" sound, and there was no situation outside? Are we suspicious?

The two of us didn't find anything until we got out of the door. I took back the sapper shovel in confusion, and the flashlight inadvertently flickered to the temple door, and three big characters suddenly appeared: Lost Soul Temple.

I wondered how it could have such a strange name, and suddenly a dark shadow came down from the temple gate.
