"The image of the Black Emperor? Wasn't this thing destroyed a long time ago, how could there be here? ”

The actress coughed for a while, patted the dust off the costume, stretched her neck forward, stared at the statue enshrined in the ruined temple, and her words of surprise contained horror and fear.

"Black Emperor?" Chu Yingchan frowned, she had been slaying demons and demons for many years, and she had indeed never heard of such an existence.

The tentacles were not living creatures, just statues, the statue of the emperor was placed on a square stone throne, and on the four sides of the stone platform were carved two divine swords, the Zhu tribe and the absurd, and the hieroglyphic figures below fell to the divine sword, holding the sun and the moon in their hands.

This sacred mural was entangled by countless octopus-like tentacles, the tentacles were swollen and scaly, and the mouthparts were constricted, and just a glance could remind Lin Shouxi of the fishy smell that the torrential rain in the dead city could not wash away.

After the drama girl said that this was the statue of the Black Emperor, Lin Shouxi also found many differences between it and the statue of the emperor, its face was rotten like mud, its neck was embroidered with scar-like sins, its body under its ancient robe was pierced by iron cables, imprisoned on the seat, its scepter was pitch black, and the seven divine swords hanging behind it were curved like snake spears.

"You young people probably haven't heard of this......"

The drama girl walked to the huge evil statue, patted the smoke and dust on her body, and said faintly, "There are many snobbish and secret families in the dark in this world who are secretly worshipping some gods who cannot see the light, or the three evil gods of the deep sea, or the yellow-clothed monarch who exists like a nightmare in the legend, the king of the poisonous spring...... About 200 years ago, there was a court painter who was not satisfied with worshipping the evil gods recorded in the scrolls of the manifestations, and one day, he used the emperor as a template to create a new image of the evil gods, which he named ...... Black Emperor. ”

"The Black Emperor is somewhere between the sacred and the weird, the majestic and the filthy, and there is an inexplicable, fascinating and mysterious beauty, The painter went mad after finishing the Black Emperor's paintings, and he kept claiming that he had really seen the Black Emperor, but no one believed him, because he was blind after finishing the paintings.

This blasphemous painting provoked the prostration of many rebels, and the painter himself was beheaded on his back for blasphemy, but when his head rolled off, a satisfied smile appeared on his face, as if in the darkness of death, he had met the ancient Dark Lord, who had been forgiven of his sins, and who had been granted eternal life by the Dark King. ”

The drama girl talked about this short history, and her tone was groaning, with a sensational feeling, but Lin Shouxi and Chu Yingchan were obviously not frightened, they just quietly looked down at the drama girl, waiting for her to continue.

The drama girl was a little discouraged and said: "In short, during that time, the statue of the Black Emperor was all the rage, and many cult organizations were secretly established, believing in this king who existed in the darkness, but then the Holy Soil Temple took action and leveled them in one go, and the statue of the Black Emperor was also destroyed, and there was no armor left. I didn't expect there to be such a big fish that slipped through the net. ”

"Black Emperor...... Does this have anything to do with blackface? Lin Shouxi asked himself softly.

"How do I know...... But this place is supposed to be the Netherworld. The actress said.

Netherworld ......

Lin Shouxi knew the existence of the Netherworld, for example, the palace that guarded the Divine Domain at that time was just an appearance, and it became a wind-built relic after the arrival of the yellow-clothed monarch.

Many famous places have netherworlds, which are the backside of the real world, representing a different kind of reality.

"That big black face doesn't seem to want to hurt us, it brought us here, I don't know what it's going to do......" The drama girl walked around the Black Emperor, puzzled, "Could it be that there is something else here besides the ruined temple?" ”

Without waiting for them to speak, the playgirl muttered to herself again: "Yes, there must be!" It was definitely not that simple for Black Face to go to such great lengths to bring us here. ”

This temple is very large, and the dust is also very heavy, Lin Shouxi searched along the statue for a while, but did not find anything strange, everything else in this temple seems to have been stolen, empty, only a statue of the god and the seven candlesticks around it.

"If it's really a netherworld, then it shouldn't last long, let's just wait for it to dissolve on its own." Chu Yingchan said softly.

Yunkong Mountain also has a netherworld, she went there when she was worshipping her ancestors, and she has some understanding.

"Hmph, don't you think I know?" The drama girl crossed her hands on her hips and said, "It's just that the thought of a ghost in the dark staring at us makes me feel uncomfortable." ”

The drama girl babbled and screamed, searched hard again, but still to no avail, and sat back next to Lin Shouxi and Chu Yingchan in anger, grabbing her cheeks with both hands, sulking.

"Hey, aren't you really Taoists?" The drama girl is irritated looking for clues and wants to have some fun with them.

"It's not."

Lin Shouxi and Chu Yingchan said in unison.

"Such a tacit understanding, isn't it?" The drama girl gritted her teeth and stomped her feet in a hurry, "That Chu Miao is really right, she came to make trouble without figuring out the situation, and brought this girl in...... I, I'm expensive! ”

"My mother really didn't do it right." Chu Yingchan sighed softly, but she was also physically and mentally exhausted, and she didn't feel much blame.

"Hmph." The drama girl looked at her coldly, her eyes fell on her pride, stared for a while, and said with a little jealousy: "I don't think you are a very smart girl......

In Chu Yingchan's eyes, this drama girl is the little girl, and she doesn't pay attention to her crazy words, but only looks at Lin Shouxi, who is staring at the burning candle in front of her, thinking about something.

The playwright was dissatisfied with their indifference, and she jumped on the candlestick, stepped on the idol, and said, "Who is that Xiao He you just talked about?" Hurry up. ”

"She's my fiancée." Lin Shouxi's vision was blocked by her and he had to answer her questions.

"Fiancée? Do you have a fiancée and still have trouble sleeping with other women? It's really bad......" The drama girl stared at him fiercely and said thoughtfully, "So your relationship is a triangle? ”

"Don't think about it, we're just ordinary masters and apprentices." Chu Yingchan said coldly.

"Ordinary master and apprentice? Whose ordinary apprentice would give the master a slave seal? The actress shouted without hesitation.

"This is not a slave seal, this is a ......" Chu Yingchan was ashamed to speak, not knowing how to explain.

"That's it! You are respectful masters and apprentices during the day and ...... at night Tsk, children are too good at playing now. The actress chattered endlessly, her expression rich.

"You ......"

Chu Yingchan clenched her teeth, her eyes flashed, she wanted to fight back against the slander of the drama girl, but the drama girl lived like a little scoundrel, and her gentle words didn't seem to be able to hurt her.

The drama girl saw Chu Yingchan's anxious and resting appearance, and gained joy from it, she stood on the candlestick, with the help of the candlelight, her body was faintly illuminated, she looked at Lin Shouxi condescendingly, and said:

"Xiao He Xiao He, it sounds very small, is she your childhood sweetheart? Hmph, I don't think you have to pretend to be loyal, with such a beautiful master who obeys his words and follows him, can you really hold it down? Now there is no one else, it is better for you to confess sooner! If I were you, I'd have eaten her up and wiped her clean. ”

The words of the drama girl are half-true, when she first saw Chu Yingchan's appearance and figure, as a woman, her heart beat hard, and she couldn't wait to bring her to justice, bullying her every day, she didn't believe that this young man was strong-blooded, and she was really not moved.

"I'm not one of those people." Chu Yingchan listened to these embarrassing words, but she first defended Lin Shouxi.

"I know people and faces, but I don't know the heart, I have seen many righteous gentlemen who pretend to be dogs like him, but they are unimaginably well-dressed behind their backs." The drama girl smiled and said, "Or, let's make a bet?" Bet on whether he will eat Fairy Chu dry and wipe it clean? ”

"Enough! What exactly are you trying to say? Lin Shouxi frowned and interrupted. At this juncture, he doesn't want to mess around with the drama girl.

"Me...... I'm going to lift the veil of your hypocrisy! ”

The drama girl said solemnly: "Chu Miao spent a lot of money for me to act, of course I can't let my customers down, anyway, I'm idle now, it's better to match you well." ”

"......" Lin Shouxi was speechless.

"This girl seems to be crazy." Chu Yingchan sighed and said helplessly.

"Girl? Who's your name? The current juniors are too good, and the duck ......" The drama girl was furious and let out the cry of a little unicorn.

Lin Shouxi and Chu Yingchan didn't want to pay attention to her at all.

Lin Shouxi stepped aside to look at the next candle.

The actress sat on the stage of the statue, bent over, supported her chin, shook her slender legs, and said, "Look so seriously, do you see anything famous?" ”

Lin Shouxi stared at the candles intently, and his subconscious told him that the key to this temple was in these candles.

"They have a quirky vibe." Lin Shouxi said.

"Strange aura?" The actress stretched her neck and leaned over, she dipped a little wax oil with her fingers and put it on the tip of her nose and sniffed, "It's the smell of candles, nothing special." ”

The temperature of this candle is very low, and it will not hurt the skin if it gets on your fingers.

Chu Yingchan believed Lin Shouxi's judgment, and she also came to his side, lifted her hair and sniffed it.

The fairy in white had a slight glow in her eyes, and nodded, "It does have a strange smell, huh...... An unpleasant smell. ”

"Pretending to be a ghost." The actress disagreed.

She jumped off the candlestick and jumped somewhere else, to probe the walls around her.

The temple was ravaged by wind and frost, and the walls were badly damaged, and the playgirl touched the rear, pushed hard, and the bricks and tiles loosened, and she forced a few pieces away, so that a black hole appeared in the wall.

"There's something in there......" the actress said, rubbing her chin, "I'll take a look." ”

The whole body could not penetrate such a small gap, and the actress took off her head as always, and stuffed it into the dark hole in the wall.

Like a kite, she grabbed her long whip to prevent accidents.

This scene also attracted Lin Shouxi and Chu Yingchan's eyes, and put their heads in an unknown place, anyone who saw them would inevitably feel shocked. Any accident behind the wall is a matter of life.

The accident happened.

The playgirl's headless body suddenly shuddered as if it were spasmodics, and a shrill cry came from the other side of the wall, and she was so desperate that her hands clung to the wall like a drowning person who was constantly struggling.

"Save ...... Help me...... Ahh......hh Help me...... Don't, don't eat me...... Ahh

Lin Shouxi and Chu Yingchan were startled and immediately came to her side.

"What's wrong with you? Something you encountered? Lin Shouxi went to help her pull her hair.

Chu Yingchan silently recited the meditation mantra and pointed it on the drama girl's vest, wanting her trembling body to calm down.

At the other end, it seemed that something was grabbing her head and trying to take it away, and the screams of the playgirl became more and more terrible, and finally turned into a swan's near-death scream, and her body collapsed like a clockwork doll with a broken string, and there was no longer any life.

A chill seeped through the cracks in the wall.

The girl who was still alive and well died in front of her in an instant, and their hearts couldn't help but lift.

Lin Shouxi grabbed her long whip and dragged her head back from the other end of the wall, the drama girl's makeup was well preserved, but her head was like a tattered watermelon.

Chu Yingchan stretched out her hand and touched her heart, throat, and heart, but there was no reaction.

Is a fairy drama girl dead like this......

Although she is as noisy as a crow, she is not a bad person in the end, she is just invited by her mother to get money to do things, and this accidental death pierces her heart like a cone, which makes Chu Yingchan look sad.

At this moment, the playgirl opened her eyes like a corpse, and her eyes were as big as copper bells.

"Hee-hee, is Sister Fairy sad for me?" The drama girl slapped her hand, and her rotten brain was instantly restored, and she was put back on her neck, "Sister Fairy is really kind." ”

Chu Yingchan and Lin Shouxi were both stunned, realizing that they had been tricked again.

"How's it going? Aren't you scared? I'm doing a good job. The actress grinned.

Lin Shouxi closed his eyes, let out a long breath, and got up to leave.

Originally, he just wanted to simply go out of the city, go to the Demon Evil Tower, and reunite with Xiao He, but he didn't expect that he would encounter a messy troupe on the way, not to mention, and get involved in an inexplicable netherworld.

Even Chu Yingchan, who has always been gentle, showed an angry face, if it weren't for the fact that her realm was not as good as that of a drama girl, she would have pulled out the black ruler and whipped her at this moment.

"What kind of monster are you? What's going on with this body? Chu Yingchan asked coldly.

"Hey, Sister Fairy, do you want to know?" The drama girl laughed: "This is a very tortuous and touching story, it is very long, I am afraid to cry to you." ”

"Then don't listen." Chu Yingchan also got up and left.

"Hey, since you want to know so much, I'll tell you?"

The drama girl cleared her throat and was about to speak, but when she saw that Lin Shouxi and Chu Yingchan had left one after another, she was also interested, sat up from the ground, and came behind them slowly.

"What's so nice about this broken candle."

The drama girl was annoyed, but she puffed up her cheeks, only to hear a snort, and the candle in front of Lin Shouxi was blown out instantly.

The drama girl was also stunned, she didn't expect that this candle could really be blown out.

Without waiting for Lin Shouxi and Chu Yingchan to reprimand, they only heard a bang, and the door of the temple was slammed shut, and the already dim temple went dark, and the only six remaining candle flames could not be lit by anyone except themselves.

I'm in trouble again?

The drama girl was really frightened this time, she swallowed her saliva, and finally spoke slowly after a long time: "Who closed the door, I ...... I'll open the door and see. ”

Lin Shouxi did not support or oppose, and vaguely, he had a premonition of something.

When the playwright saw that they did not stop her, she was so disappointed that she fell to the ground with a bitter face, and moved cautiously, and after a while, she came to the door in a frightened manner, and she found that it was unlocked, and she pushed it with guts, and the door loosened, and was easily pushed open by her.

As the actress pushed the door, the light between the cracks in the door became bigger and bigger.

The door to the temple opened.

But the moment the door closes and opens, the outside world has changed abruptly.

The playgirl stood in the doorway, motionless.

Lin Shouxi and Chu Yingchan came to her side and looked outside together.

The cliffs outside the temple vanished, and the world became high and wide, but it was filled with countless gray mist, and in the gray mist, huge objects stood, slowly wriggling, marching, and emitting roars that humans could not understand.

It's like they've come to another world.

And before this gray fog was erected a long and pointed tombstone, on which were written six words, Lin Shouxi did not know these six words, but he could read it:

Seven Days City, the Land of the Dead.
