Chapter 41: Three Sticks of Incense
I subconsciously wanted to push the door open.
But no matter how hard I tried, the door of the main hall did not move, as if something was blocking it.
I started calling Uncle Ghost.
However, Uncle Ghost did not respond to me.
Could it be that he was sucked into that coffin?
This is what Uncle Ghost said about stealing the sky and changing the day?
As long as the coffin is opened, then the person who opened the coffin will replace the person who was originally sealed inside, and then be sealed back inside?
My heart sank.
If so, how can I save Uncle Ghost?
Even if I could push open this door in the main hall, would I be resealed in the coffin when I opened the lid?
It's a dead end.
At the same time, I also couldn't figure out why Uncle Ghost and the old drunkard could push open the door of this hall when I was locked in that black coffin.
Why didn't I do this time?
Or is there something else in it that I don't know about?
Thinking of this, I also calmed down.
If I can't enter the main hall, I will definitely not be able to save Uncle Ghost.
And even if we go in, if it is really as Uncle Ghost and I thought, then what is in front of us in this hall is also a dead end.
So there seems to be only one way left in front of me, that is, to find the existence that was disguised as Uncle Ghost at the beginning, only he knows the secrets in the hall, then only he can know how to save Uncle Ghost.
Just where to find him?
I looked around.
After coming to the City God Temple with the fake ghost uncle before, he took it all the way to this hall, and I didn't look at other places carefully, but at this glance, I noticed that there was a slightly smaller secondary hall on both sides of the main hall.
In front of each secondary hall stands a statue.
It's just that the two statues are in the form of kneeling, a man and a woman facing the direction of the main hall, and their eyes are undoubtedly white, just like the statue of the city god.
Not only that, but I felt an inexplicable palpitation when I looked at those two statues.
After a moment's hesitation, I chose to walk to the second hall on the right.
Now I don't have any other choice.
Even if I don't look for the Earth Immortal Sword, I can't ignore Uncle Ghost, otherwise I will have a disturbed conscience, and even if I leave at that time, I will regret it for the rest of my life.
It's just that the statue of a kneeling man in front of the second hall on the right side of the statue suddenly moved, and the right hand on the statue, which should have been placed on the knee, was slowly raised, revealing a strange picture inside.
The pattern is one black and one white, like two fish.
The black is interspersed with a little bit of white, like an eyeball.
It's just the middle of the white part, and the part that looks like an eyeball is missing something.
And the gesture of the statue's hand is raised, as if it is asking me for something.
I didn't quite understand it, so I had to walk away, but the statue seemed to come to life and moved with me as I got to the other side.
Not only that, but the door behind the statue was also closed at the same time.
It's like as long as I don't leave what it needs, I can't get by.
But it also made me more and more sure that maybe there would be something in this secondary hall.
Just looking at the white part of the statue's hand, I was stumped.
All I had on me was the Soul Suppression Cord, the Corpse Scythe, and the City God's Protector Body, and then the City God Sticker, and the rest were just ordinary clothes and fire folds, and there was no shape that matched the white part at all.
I didn't find anything after a while, and it gave me a headache.
With this posture, if I can't give this statue what it needs, I won't be able to enter this secondary hall nine times out of ten.
Fortunately, I soon found out again.
I noticed that the point on the black part, although it looked similar to the white part, was a liquid, like a drop of water, I reached out and touched it, it was a little slimy, and when I smelled it, there was a subtle smell of blood.
"Could it be blood?"
My eyelids jumped.
Without further hesitation, I bit my finger and dripped a drop of blood on the missing part of the white part.
Sure enough, after my blood fell, my blood turned from red to black in an instant, and the statue changed again, and after the hand was closed, it actually stood up and made a gesture of pushing the door.
The next moment the door of the second hall opened.
I just thought it was a little incredible, because it was so unimaginable.
I stared at the statue for a few more moments, making sure nothing had changed, before taking a deep breath and entering the second hall.
As soon as I entered, the fire in the second hall was instantly lit, and at a glance, there were rows of candles on both sides of the wall, and those candles had all been lit to illuminate the entire second hall very brightly.
At a glance, I could see the skeleton in the very center.
The skeleton sat on the futon facing the offering table.
On the offering table was an incense burner with three half-burned incense sticks.
Behind the offering table is another statue, which looks the same as the statue of the city god in the main hall, and is still intact.
I was a little disappointed.
Because this time there seems to be only these things in the temple. 、
But disappointed to disappointed, I still looked at it carefully because of the experience I had had with the black coffin in the main hall before.
Sure enough, I soon found a piece of paper on the corpse.
The piece of paper struck me with a familiar feeling, and I remembered it as soon as I pulled it out of my bones.
This piece of paper is almost the same as the paper money given to me by the old woman I met before entering the temple, except that this piece of paper is complete and not paper money.
And on the paper there is a line of words that seem to have been written in a hurry.
"If the person who enters the temple is a person who lights it, if he asks for something, he can burn the incense of the city god."
"Those who burn incense can enter the Town Soul Palace."
"Those who are two incense can open the coffin of evil spirits."
"Those with three incense can enter the City God Palace!"
Looking at this line of words, I couldn't help but look up at the incense burner on the offering table, and there happened to be three sticks of incense on the incense burner.
"Soul Suppression Palace, Evil Suppression Coffin, City God Palace?"
I muttered as I lost my thoughts.
It's not hard for me to understand that.
It should be said that if it is the person chosen by the city god, these three incense sticks can be lit here, and the number of sticks represents what can be done.
But I don't understand the three words of the City God's Palace.
Because Uncle Ghost and I entered the main hall here from the beginning.
Unless the main hall is not the City God's Temple.
My eyelids jump at the thought of this.
It's not out of the question.
After all, this City God Temple is very weird.
