In the southeast corner of the room sat two people, their heads wrapped in black cloth, and when I took the black cloth down, I was shocked, because these two people turned out to be the little uncle and the cigarette bag and pot that we had been looking for for a long time.

"Don't move, there's a problem." Lin Zi saw that I wanted to wake them up, so he quickly grabbed me and stopped, "Look, the two of them are motionless, as if they are dead......"

After he said this, I also realized that it was true, according to common sense, that we had been in for so long, and even if they didn't say hello, they wouldn't even lift their eyes.

I squatted down to take a closer look, and this time I saw clearly, they were not people at all, they were humanoid stone carvings in clothes, and it was these two clothes that made us mistakenly believe that they were real, but this carving technique is really magical, even their pores are carved delicately.

Lin Zi stared at the two stone sculptures, slowly retreating step by step, as if he had seen some terrible monster.

"What's wrong?" I asked him.

"Go out first, this is a Gu carving, commonly known as a puppet." Lin Zi told me suddenly.

I was so interested that I didn't ask any more questions, and gently walked out with him.

As soon as he walked out of this door, Lin Zi breathed a sigh of relief, and he asked me, "Do you remember that there are no traces of carvings in the temple?" ”

I nodded, meaning I remember.

He continued: "That's a kind of Gu carving, I heard that Gu carving artists only exist in the desert, they are a branch of the ancient race, a long, long time ago, their family guarded the desert for generations, because of one thing, their opinions were different, and finally some of them migrated to other places, this information is when I went to the countryside with your little uncle to chisel the seeds, I accidentally saw it from an ancient book, the book also said that these people migrated out of the family and never came back, at the same time, The Gu carving skills that represent the supreme glory of the race have also disappeared into the long river of history with them. ”

"The book also records that the original Gu carving is made of real people, and the person who is going to make the Gu carving will drink a special potion in advance, and after drinking, a thick layer of calluses will grow on their bodies, this callus looks like a stone, and there are patterns, and what is even more strange is that the person who made the Gu carving can still do some of the most basic activities at the beginning, and after a long time, the potion will be completely absorbed, at this time they call the Gu carving a puppet, once the puppet is made, there will be a shadow, and the shadow can move around, just like a person is still alive, The most terrifying thing is that in the process of Gu Eagle changing into a puppet, people who have drunk the potion do not feel anything unusual, and they even think that they are still alive, so, to some extent, their spirit is immortal. ”

"In the beginning, I didn't think about this layer until I saw them." Lin Zi pointed to the figures that had turned into human shapes, and continued, "It wasn't until I saw them that I suddenly remembered these records in ancient books. ”

"It's horrible......" I exclaimed.

"It's not just that, these puppets, they will change with the animals or people in front of them, from what I saw just now, these two puppets must have seen your uncle, and it is because they have seen them that they can change."

"Then looking at the number of shadows that appeared just now, does it mean that there were a large number of puppets hidden here?"

Lin Zi thought for a while and said to me, "Actually, you can say the same, because a puppet is facing a figure. ”

"So much, it's impossible to ......"

"Nothing is impossible, in the ancient ......," he said, Lin Zi's breathing suddenly became rapid, and his eyes opened sharply, "It's too late, they're coming." ”

"Who?" I was taken aback.

"Shadow." Lin Zi suddenly shouted, "Look behind you......"

As soon as I turned around, I saw countless figures pouring towards us, on the roof, on the wall, on the ground, as far as the eye could see, all of them were covered with human figures, and these figures were densely connected to each other, and they turned into a behemoth.

Damn, it turned out that it was the thing that appeared in the temple, and I cursed in my heart.

"Come in, come in......" Lin Zi pulled me up before I could react, and closed the door with a "Peng" sound.

We lay in the crack of the door and looked at the figure outside the house, Lin Zi gasped and said to me: "Damn, I finally know what happened to the bustard, it turns out that these things attacked their camp at that time, those guys are really ridiculous, they dare to set foot in Tengger without knowing anything, it is really fatal, no wonder they shouted loudly at that time There were two backs, it turned out to be this thing." ”

"What's that? What is your name? ”

"I don't know, the book didn't say it, the puppet in the book is a portrait, and someone painted a black ball under the portrait, and the shape is similar to this, what I told you just now is not all recorded in the book, and half of it is suspected by me, I don't know what the name of this thing is, but then I heard the old man say, it seems that after the puppet is made, the puppet and the shadow together are called Gu carving, because at this time, the role of the shadow is equivalent to the Gu, and the shadow that becomes the Gu After seeing the living person, it will change with the living person, and the shadow will change, Dolls change, and it is precisely because of this characteristic that they are called eagles by the ancient race. ”

"Is there any harm in that Gu Eagle?"

"No, the book doesn't say it, but you see it's just a shadow, what harm can it be."

"Damn, then you don't know anything about what you let me run?"

Lin Zi scratched his head, smiled bitterly and said, "Aren't I too nervous to get used to it." ”

I was really speechless for someone like him, and cursed as I went to pull the door that he had closed, but when I came to the door, I suddenly found that while we were talking, the door was silently locked from the outside, and I couldn't push it open.

It was pitch black outside the house, and I reached through the crack in the door, and I felt as if I had grabbed something, but when I withdrew my hand, there was nothing.

My heart was cold, it was over, I couldn't get out, something was blocked outside the door.

Lin Zi didn't believe it, so he walked over and kicked a few more times, but what made me depressed was that such a loose gate, kicked wildly in the forest, and it was still firm.

What should I do this time, I'm trapped inside.

Lin Zi was in a hurry in the house, and said to me with a look of annoyance: "It's all to blame me, if I dragged you to run away at that time, I wouldn't have ended up like this." ”
