Chapter 49: Bow down
Xiaohui's words directly stunned me, and I opened my mouth several times, wanting to tell Xiaohui the truth, but I didn't say it, thinking that Long Xiaoman had specially told me that no one could say anything about this matter, including his father Long Zhiyuan.
I think what Xiaohui knows, it is impossible for Long Xiaoman not to know, she asked me not to say it, there must be her reasons.
But I'm secretly anxious, if what Xiaohui said is true, then wouldn't Long Xiaoman ......
"What do you think?" Xiaohui saw that my face was wrong, so he asked, I waved my hand and said it's okay, let's go find Long Xiaoman.
Xiaohui said that it was too late, so he would sleep first and wait until dawn tomorrow, and then stretched and lay on the ground after speaking.
"Sleep on your own!"
My tone was a little unhappy, I didn't know whether I was in a hurry or worried, I just wanted to find Long Xiaoman quickly and ask what was going on with the two shadows behind her.
"Did you take the wrong medicine?" Xiaohui also thought that my attitude was a little strange, so I ignored him, picked up my backpack and walked outside.
"You're a pig's brain!"
Xiaohui ran over and grabbed me, "Long Xiaoman is my sister, you don't think I'll be in a hurry when she's gone!" ”
"Then you're still grinding!" I was worried about Long Xiaoman in my heart, and my tone was not so polite.
Xiao Hui pointed to the black yin and yang pile enshrined in the temple, "This temple is strange up and down, and I met an evil ghost just now to breathe yang qi, do you think we can go out casually and safely?" ”
Seeing that I didn't believe it, Xiaohui stepped forward and pulled the temple door open.
Whew-
An extremely cold wind suddenly blew in his face, and Xiaohui hurriedly closed the door, "I don't know how much dirty things are outside now, just waiting for the two of us to go out!" ”
I asked, why didn't the dirty stuff just come in?
Xiaohui scratched his head and said, "This is also what I didn't understand, since I entered this temple, I felt strange up and down, except for that woman, I have long felt that there are a lot of dirty things nearby." ”
"But those dirty things have been refusing to come in outside, and I don't know why, until this matter is clarified, we must not leave the temple gate half a step before dawn, otherwise the consequences even I can't predict."
I said what should we do, we can't just do it and wait, Xiaohui said it's not in a hurry, let's look separately to see what's strange about this temple.
I muttered to myself, I still need to find it, this temple is full of strange places.
Thinking so, he lit the bonfire and began to look around the strange temple.
But after looking at it for a long time, I didn't see any clues except that I felt that this temple was some years old.
Suddenly, I heard Xiaohui muttering, "Strange! ”
I quickly asked him what he had found, and he pointed to the roof and said, "Look up, there's anything strange about it." ”
I looked up and felt that there was something different about the roof, but for a while I couldn't tell what was different.
"This temple doesn't even have a girder!" Xiaohui pointed to the roof and said, "You see, the roof of the entire temple is spliced with templates, but there is no girder to support it. ”
I took a closer look, and sure enough, it was a bit strange, usually like this kind of spire building, how can there be a girder in the middle of the roof, but this temple does not have it.
What does this mean, I asked?
Xiaohui said, "The biggest difference between the yang house and the yin house is that the yang house is usually built with girders, and the typical yin house is a house without girders. ”
"The Mansion?" I felt a little incredulous, "You mean, this temple is a place where the dead live......"
Xiao Hui frowned, "It's already taboo for ordinary Yang houses not to install beams, and temples don't need to be said, unless ......"
"Unless what?"
"Unless this temple is not for the living at all!"
Xiaohui's words made me creepy, I looked at the black yin-yang pile, and felt extremely eerie, "You mean, it is not a human being who worships this yin-yang pile, but ......"
Hula –
At this time, a strong wind suddenly blew outside, the leaves shook and rattled, and the door creaked open.
"Get down on your knees and hold your breath!"
Before I could react, Xiaohui dragged me to my knees, "Don't look back, don't make a sound!" Kowtow! ”
I didn't know what was going on, but seeing Xiaohui's nervous appearance, I had to quickly do so, and kowtow to the black yin and yang pile in his way.
As soon as I kowtowed two heads, I felt a chill on my back, and I faintly heard a sound of footsteps behind me, and every time I kowtowed, I felt the temperature drop a few degrees.
When I got to the back, I was shivering with cold, and I couldn't hold my breath anymore, and I saw that Xiaohui next to me was no better, and his whole face was suffocated into the color of pig liver, but he still kowtowed his head reverently.
It wasn't until I was about to hold back to the limit that I felt the temperature around me rise suddenly, and when I saw Xiaohui let out a long breath, I quickly lay on the ground and took a big breath.
"What just happened?" I asked.
Xiaohui also gasped, "You'd better not ask, I'm afraid it will scare you if I say it." ”
"Don't worry, I've experienced a lot of strange things, and I won't be easily scared."
Xiaohui patted me on the shoulder and pointed behind me, "See for yourself." ”
I was stunned, and quickly got up and looked back, and found that the ground was densely covered with blood marks, which looked like human footprints dipped in blood.
Xiaohui said, "I understand, this yin and yang pile is not for the living to worship at all, if I hadn't found it in time just now, we would both have to explain it here." ”
I froze it, and my brain made up the picture that might have happened just now, and suddenly I felt my scalp tingle, "You mean, ...... just now"
Xiaohui nodded, "When we knelt down to worship just now, there was also a large group of 'people' behind us who were worshipping, and we held our breath, which can be regarded as a foolish pass." ”
After finishing speaking, he patted me who was stunned, "Let's go, now it's safe to get out." I now know why those things just now are outside and refuse to come in, not just waiting for the two of us to go out, but those things regard this yin and yang pile as their gods, just like us humans, and maintain a sense of awe, and it is absolutely impossible to come in before the hour comes. ”
I asked, "What happened to the female ghost before that and those black shadows?" ”
Xiaohui said, "Who told you that the woman and those black shadows must be ghosts?" ”
"What else could it be if it's not a ghost?"
"In this world, in addition to people and ghosts, there are many things that I don't know, such as all kinds of spirits, and all kinds of unknown creatures."
After Xiao Hui finished speaking, he moved his neck, "Don't think about it, there will be time for you to think slowly in the future, the mission of our four major Xuanmen families is to study all unknown things, you are now a member of the Long family, and you will have the opportunity to see even more incredible things in the future." ”
Just as we were about to go out, I suddenly remembered something wrong, turned my head to take a look, and hurriedly pointed to the floor to stop Xiaohui, "Look at it!" ”
"What's wrong again!"
Xiaohui turned his head impatiently, looked in the direction I pointed to, and suddenly his face changed greatly!
The corpses of the previous mountain bandits were like vegetables, and they went down!
Xiao Hui hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed the arm of a corpse casually, and lifted it up as if it had no weight!
Only then did I realize that these corpses seemed to have been hollowed out by something, and apart from the heads, there was only an empty layer of skin!
I clearly remember that when the "woman" and those black shadows left, these corpses were all in good shape, how did they become like this after such a while?
I can't imagine what it could be that can quietly hollow out several corpses into skins in a very short period of time!
Xiao Hui put down the skin, looked at the other corpses, frowned more and more, and finally said as if he suddenly remembered something, "Do you remember how many people there were in those mountain bandits before?" ”
I recalled, it should have been eight people.
"Are you sure?"
I thought about it again and nodded in affirmation, "That's right, it's eight!" ”
Xiao Hui pointed to the skin on the ground, "Then you count, how many corpses are there now?" ”
When I counted them, I found that there were only seven skins left!
I hurriedly said nervously, "Could it be that among these eight people, there was something hidden that was not human, and just now when we were kneeling, he sneaked away?" ”
Xiao Hui frowned, and muttered, "It's very unlikely, if it weren't for humans, those evil ghosts who sucked yang qi wouldn't have been able to find out." ”
I asked, what was going on? A corpse that disappeared without a trace?
Xiao Hui glanced around, his eyes suddenly fell on the door of the temple, as if he had found something, he walked over and squatted on the ground to check it.
I also hurried over, and saw a very strange footprint on the ground, which looked a bit like a chicken's footprint, but it was not like it, much larger than a chicken's footprint, and there were seven toes in total.
Then we found a few more footprints in the doorway, and it was strange that the footprints were supposed to be one-to-one, and even other animals would have four legs.
But these footprints we see are all single existences, and the things that leave these strange footprints are only one leg?
I suddenly remembered that when Shi Nanbei was in the village, he used a lame rooster to make a small one, and the chicken only had one leg, and it also jumped forward.
We followed these strange footprints all the way, and when we got to the back, we were surprised to find that the footprints had become human.
Later, it was found that the footprints were like wearing shoes, leaving shoe prints instead of footprints.
Eventually, the shoe prints suddenly became a pair, as if they had been left by ordinary humans, except that these normal shoe prints disappeared after a few steps, and no trace of them could be found.
Just when I was wondering, Xiaohui suddenly raised his head and yelled at the tree, "Who! Come out! ”
