Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Ancient Temple of Terror

Qin Zhen couldn't help but turn his head to look at Lao Gu and asked, "Are you talking about human words?" What do you mean that this is the most human-like idol you've ever seen? Where are the idols not humanized? ”

After hearing this, Lao Gu immediately took out an expression of "you lack heart and eyes when you see it" and looked at Qin Zhen, then pointed to the face of the goddess statue and said, "Most of the gods we have seen on weekdays have detached themselves from the form of a real human body for the sake of the balance of the overall form proportions. Or in order to deliberately achieve that kind eyebrows and kind eyes, the solemn demeanor of the law, and the proportion of facial features is different from that of people. Have you ever seen someone who looks like the Buddha? ”

"......" Qin Zhen was stunned by the old consultant. After pondering for a long time, he glared at him and said, "What do you want to say?" ”

Lao Gu pointed to the facial features of the goddess statue unhurriedly and said, "If you look closely, don't you think that this statue doesn't have that kind of special sculpture?" It's like...... It's as if there really is such a girl, and the craftsmen carved her as a prototype. ”

When Lao Gu said this, Qin Zhen couldn't help but take a closer look at this goddess statue. Indeed, the clear eyebrows and eyes, the proportions of the facial features, and even the facial expressions are not exaggerated and deliberate as the usual gods. But what does this mean? Could it be that there really is such a thing as the goddess of Mount Everest?

At this time, Lao Gu suddenly turned his head and asked Qin Zhen, "Eh, what do you mean by the third goddess?" Hasn't this Mount Everest always been the first in the world? When did it become third? Does this mean that there are several other mountains around that also have goddesses? ”

Qin Zhen nodded and replied, "Oh, you said this." There is a saying in Tibet that Mount Everest, along with the four snow-capped mountains around it, is worshipped as five goddesses. It is called the five sisters of auspicious longevity, and it can be regarded as a mountain god. Since Mount Everest is in the middle, it ranks third, so it is called the third goddess. There are many myths and legends about these five goddesses, some say they are mountains, others say they are lakes. However, according to Tibetan texts, the place where these five goddesses lived was in the snowy mountains of the north, where Nepal and Tibet meet. ”

"Isn't that still here?" Lao Gu asked rhetorically.

Qin Zhen shrugged his shoulders and said, "No matter which goddess is Mount Everest, this is just a beautiful myth about Mount Everest. Tibetan myths and legends are mysterious and fantastical, and they have a very strong religious color. Who can say whether it's true or false. Huh. Lao Gu. What are you doing to compete with this goddess? Lust/demon nature is guilty again, isn't it? ”

Lao Gu snorted and scolded: "Phew! Are you and I being you? I sue you, this idol is just wrong! If you can't keep it, there really is a goddess in this temple who is cultivating in the Qing Dynasty. I have never seen such a statue standing in front of the temple, even if it represents Mount Everest, it is definitely not normal. Lao Gu said very firmly.

At this time, Lao Gu looked serious. Qin Zhen could see that he wasn't joking. And about the unusualness of the "goddess", he also analyzed the head of the Tao. So Qin Zhen didn't refute him. After all, this kind of idealistic supernatural thing. Not for them to be able to tell. As for what's wrong with this idol. We'll have to learn more about it later.

As soon as Qin Zhen wanted to step forward and push the temple door, Lao Gu grabbed Qin Zhen and asked again: "Eh, you wait for a while...... Didn't you say that this goddess is the Five Sisters? The third sister is here. Where are the other sisters? If they are mountain gods, which mountains do they correspond to? ”

Qin Zhen looked at Lao Gu in surprise, this didn't look like him at all! He usually definitely belongs to the kind of person who only contributes and resolutely does not think out. The most annoying thing is the analysis problem. How could you be so interested in these mountain gods today? Still so serious?

Is it really because these people are "goddesses"...... Why didn't the "male gods" they met before see him so attentive?

Seeing Qin Zhen's doubts and guesses, Lao Gu scolded in a low voice: "Look at your sister! Don't use your filthy thoughts to examine my noble and pure soul! I'm definitely a fucking person out of the low-brow tastes! How could there be any bad thoughts about the gods? Hurry up, sue me! What mountains! ”

Qin Zhen saw that Lao Gu was serious, and hurriedly withdrew his contemptuous eyes, and then replied with a match: "I don't know if it's these five mountains, anyway, the mountains corresponding to the five goddesses in the legend should be Makalu Peak, Lhotse Peak, Mount Everest, Zhuo Aoyou Peak, and Xixia Bangma Peak." All of these are snow-capped peaks at an altitude of more than 8,000 meters. ”

After hearing this, Lao Gu nodded thoughtfully, looking deeply thoughtful. Seeing this, Qin Zhen couldn't help but ask, "What?" I'm done with you, have you come up with any unique insights? Where are these five goddesses? Does it have anything to do with us? ”

Although Qin Zhen was teasing, Lao Gu said very seriously: "I think eighty percent can be related." Even if it doesn't have anything to do here, maybe it can be related to Lhotse Peak......"

"You just want to have something to do with the goddess, right? I'm really shaved ice in my brain, so I'm going to be here with you! After speaking, Qin Zhen glanced at Lao Gu and was not ready to deal with him anymore.

But Lao Gu laughed dryly in the back and said, "Qin Zhen, do you dare to make a bet with me?" There's definitely something wrong with this goddess statue. And we'll see you again sooner or later. ”

"I'm not so idle! That's all nonsense! This idol represents Mount Everest, so it wouldn't be strange to see it again! Qin Zhen didn't understand what kind of wind Lao Gu was smoking, and he had something to do with this matter.

If it was according to Lao Gu's temper in the past, he would definitely have to be ugly with Qin Zhen. But this time he didn't, he just smiled mysteriously, and then said no more.

Qin Zhen felt very strange and looked at Jiang Qi, but Jiang Qi only shook his head. For them, Lao Gu's temper is uncertain. It's like a big difference between a neurological patient taking medicine or not taking medicine. Lao Gu often said that his thoughts and consciousness are not something that ordinary people can understand, but this is true. Because it is really difficult for normal people to understand what is going on in their minds about this once-in-a-century wonder.

No longer studying Lao Gu's abnormality, the three of them walked to the temple gate. As soon as Qin Zhen stretched out his hand, he hesitated again and asked, "Shall we knock on the door first?" What if there are people in the house? Let's scare people with this virtue again? ”

Old Gu glanced at Qin Zhen and said, "You are sick!" They may not look better than us! Besides, this Buddha door is vast, it should be open to all sentient beings, what a door! And I don't think there really will be anyone in there. As he spoke, Lao Gu stretched out his hand and pushed open the temple door.

There was a discordant sound from the ancient, heavy door panels. The sound is particularly eerie in this isolated space.

I don't know how many years this temple has been, but as Lao Gu's big hands pushed the door open, I felt that the crumbling door panel almost didn't fall off.

There is really no incense here, the surroundings are very quiet, and there is not the slightest sound that belongs to the world. On this Mount Everest, the four fields are empty. It felt like there were only three of them left in the vast building.

Lao Gu swallowed his saliva, and pretended to be relaxed and said, "Hey? What do you think? I'll just say there's no one here, right......? Tsk, it's quite terrible to have an empty temple on an ordinary hill, and it's even more eerie to say that there is such an empty temple on this Mount Everest...... It's always a bit of a horror movie. Eh, it stands to reason that there shouldn't be such a feeling in the temple. ”

Lao Gu is not wrong, in all temples and other places, there are gods and Buddhas to stay, and the piety and compassion of good men and women are offered to the Buddhas and they are peaceful. This should definitely be a place where no evil can be invaded. But at this moment, they stood in the monastery, and they shuddered for a while.

Qin Zhen walked into the main hall, and after looking around, he felt that this place was even more eerie. This is not so much a Buddhist temple as it is more like a Senluo Treasure Hall.

Lao Gu subconsciously shuddered and said, "This, is this because there has been no one for too long?" Why don't I feel like I can't stay in this place......"

It was a fear that slowly seeped out from the bottom of their hearts, gradually eroding their entire consciousness and senses.

Qin Zhen said calmly: "No, there are people here. You see, the temple is clean and tidy, and the Buddha statues are spotless. On the top of this snowstorm, if no one takes care of it, is it possible? ”

Lao Gu and Jiang Qi only noticed at this time that it was indeed very clean. Even if it's not spotless, it should definitely be cleaned and taken care of every day.

So...... What about people?

Normally, in this case, Lao Gu would definitely start shouting regardless of it. Because since someone is there, how can he come out without shouting? But at this moment, Lao Gu said in a trembling voice: "Qin Zhen, Daqi...... Don't laugh at me, I suddenly feel very scared...... What's going on? His grandmother's... Gu Ye, how could I have had this time...... I feel scared! ”

Qin Zhen patted Lao Gu's shoulder and said, "You relax, we all feel like this." In general, the older the building, the more it emits a low-frequency sound that we can't hear. This low-frequency sound can evoke feelings of unhappiness, fear, fear, or even the feeling of being watched or haunted. This is why old mansions are always rumored to be murderous mansions, and places like the Forbidden City, no matter how many people are in there at the same time, you will still feel eerie. It's just ...... for this place."

Qin Zhen said, looking around the main hall for another week, and then said in a deep voice: "For this place, the reason why we can't help but start feeling fear is that I think it should be because of the gods it worships. (To be continued......)
