Chapter 50: Buddha Statues
"What's wrong?" Xu Changshou looked at Wang Mengyi with a serious face suspiciously.
"It's fine!" The Iron Mask said affirmatively.
"I'm almost breaking through, what kind of moth are you talking about at the critical moment."
Xu Changshou only wants to do one thing now, let the man in front of him taste his fist. The most taboo thing to break through is to be disturbed, not to mention what the consequences of failure will be, in case you go crazy, the consequences are unimaginable.
But because of the relationship between his new colleagues, he didn't want to do more, so he simply swallowed.
At that time, Xu Changshou didn't say anything more, after all, it was useless to say more. I saw Wang Mengyi looking at the sneaky figure on the stall with a horse lantern at the bottom of the attic and asked everyone: "What time is it?" ”
Zi Wanning, who was so heartless just now, gradually put away her Gu worms and cared about Wang Mengyi's problem.
The girl in the light cyan Luo skirt waved her hand and replied: "When you enter the third watch at night, it is naturally ugly." ”
"What's wrong?" The girl in the pale cyan skirt raised her interest, and then asked.
"When it is ugly, the market should be closed early, but you see, the stalls on the street have been guarding since sunset, and there is no intention of closing the market until now." Wang Mengyi replied by pointing to the man in the stall.
"The market is closed at the same time, and you are still guarding the stall? What does Brother Wang mean? Could it be that you suspect that there is something strange inside? Zi Wanning couldn't help but guess.
After listening to Zi Wanning's reply, Wang Mengyi nodded affirmatively, Xu Changshou leaned between the two, and also looked at the store that had not closed the stall.
"Something is wrong!" Xu Changshou added.
"Xu Gongzi seems to have an opinion?" Wang Mengyi looked at Xu Changshou who was responding to the side and asked.
"Do you think, who doesn't sleep in the middle of the night and runs on the street to guard the stall, let alone has no one, who do you sell it to?"
"What do you mean?" Wang Mengyi looked at Xu Changshou suspiciously.
"It's either a ghost or a demon!"
Listening to Xu Changshou's words, Wang Mengyi felt a little reasonable, so he took out a gossip compass from his pocket, only to see him wave his hand slightly to cast a spell, and the compass pointer immediately turned.
"If there is a real monster, this thing can best distinguish the real from the fake!" Wang Mengyi added.
After a while, the pointer stopped abruptly, and did not continue to exercise vigorously, which surprised the iron-masked boy, if it weren't for a monster, a normal person who ran on the street in the middle of the night and guarded the stall without sleeping, could it be idle and had nothing to do?
"Why don't you go and ask?" Zi Wanning then added.
The three of them nodded almost synchronously, then leaped into the darkness and came out of the old alley again, pretending to be the marching merchants who hadn't found the inn in the middle of the night, and then tentatively walked towards the stall.
……
After a while, the three of them walked to the side of the stall.
"Shopkeeper, do you know where there is an inn around here?" Zi Wanning stepped forward and asked.
"Shop?" Zi Wanning then asked. It's just that the shopkeeper didn't seem to speak, but put his hands on his face and put on a frightened look.
Zi Wanning stretched out her hand and patted the shopkeeper's shoulder, but there was still no reaction, but the shopkeeper was shaking all over.
In an instant, the shopkeeper gradually raised his head.
"A monk?" Zi Wanning couldn't help but feel a little strange.
I saw that the monk was frightened at first, and then showed a wild smile on his face, threw a few flying knives from his sleeve at Zi Wanning and the three of them, and then abandoned the stall, and then jumped into the darkness.
"Chase!" Zi Wanning also jumped into the darkness and chased after him.
"Wait!" Wang Mengyi picked up the flying knife on the ground and sniffed it.
"Drugged?"
"That monk is not a monster, but this blade is forged by an extraordinary person."
"That monk drugged the knife, it's definitely not a good stubble, let's chase it!" Wang Mengyi immediately chased after Xu Changshou in the direction of Ziwanning.
Gradually entering the third watch, the moonlight is sultry.
Especially on winter nights, the bright moon can always give people a feeling of coldness, and the mass graves covered by snow are inexplicably weird.
Zi Wanning chased here alone, he didn't know what was in front of him, and he didn't know if Wang Xu and the others would follow, but she only understood one thing, to catch the murderer who wanted to kill the three of them.
"Stinky monk, come out!" Zi Wanning shouted into the mass grave.
At that time, there was a few cracking crisps after the soles of her feet rubbed, and the girl lifted her skirt and fell off, and was startled by the white skull at a glance.
Although she is not afraid of the sky and the earth on weekdays, she is a heartless spectator, but this kind of terrifying thing still shocks her.
She looked around, human bones emerged from under the snow quilt and fell into the mass grave, Zi Wanning instantly felt a chill down her spine.
"Stinky monk, don't be a turtle with a shrunken head, don't come out soon!" Zi Wanning continued to shout into the depths of darkness.
In a moment, I saw the monk walking out with a smile, holding a string of Buddhist beads in his hand, and chanting words in his mouth.
"Female donor, the old man is polite!"
I saw that the old monk first threw out a few flying knives and threw them towards Zi Wanning, only to see that the girl had a word, and a few golden armor Gu worms appeared in her hands, and the Gu worms flew out, biting the flying knives with a few clicks, and the golden armor Gu worms completely bit off the flying knives and fell to the ground.
The monk was shocked by the momentum of the little Gu worm, but he grinned again.
Zi Wanning couldn't help but laugh at the old monk for not measuring himself.
After a while, I saw the Gu worms on the ground foaming at the mouth, and then they all turned over and died.
"Stinky monk, return me Gu worm!"
Zi Wanning was extremely angry, pulled out the dagger from her waist, and then jumped and stabbed in the direction of the old monk.
For a moment, I saw that the monk not only did not hide, but showed a wild smile. Zi Wanning suddenly felt as if she had been stabbed by something, and her whole body was numb and unable to move, and then she fell to the ground.
The moonlight shone on Zi Wanning's body, and a few silver threads appeared, as fine as spider webs, and then pierced her skin, paralyzing it.
Under the moonlight, a giant eight-legged spider with a silver-white body crawled out of the depths of darkness.
"Thank you, sir, for your help!" The old monk saluted the silver-white spider very respectfully.
"Just a Terran Gu Master, do you want me to take action personally?" The silver-white spider spat out and said arrogantly.
"Goblins! You don't have to die well! Zi Wanning's breath gradually weakened, and he watched in a daze as the old monk in the distance walked towards her, holding a thick rope sack in his hand.
……
"Evening Ning! Late Ning! Wang Xu and the others opened their throats, and then shouted in the forest, but they did not find any trace of Zi Wanning. Xu Changshou then took out the imperial spirit bracelet in his arms, but there was still no response.
"Where's that girl?" The two of them looked around anxiously.
Walking to the mass grave, Wang Mengyi bent his knees and looked at the footprints on the ground that had not been completely filled by the snow, Xu Changshou explored around the mass grave and occasionally found it.
"The branches are broken, there should be a fight!" Xu Changshou continued.
"The footprints are still very new, so they shouldn't have been gone for long." Wang Mengyi then added and expressed his own opinions.
"But you found this?" After Xu Changshou finished speaking, he led Wang Mengxu to an open area.
"The footprints here are untidy, they don't look like they've been left by humans!"
"Do you suspect that a monster is involved?"
"It's not clear whether the participants are involved or not, the only thing that can be determined is that the monsters are difficult to get rid of."
"And there's one more nearby." Xu Changshou pointed to the broken silver-white spider silk on the ground.
"This spider silk is tougher than normal spider silk, and it is also highly poisonous."
At that time, a squirrel crawled over the spider silk and was instantly paralyzed to the ground, losing all consciousness.
"The only thing that is certain is that this toxin is not lethal, but it can paralyze the nerves." Xu Changshou analyzed for a moment, and Wang Mengyi became more and more incomprehensible.
"What nerves?"
Immediately afterward, the two of them found a few golden beetle Gu worms foaming at the mouth on the snow.
"Naughty girl's Gu worm!"
The two spoke in unison, once again confirming the fact that Zi Wanning must have encountered an accident.
Now that the monster is in the world, Wang Mengxu took out the gossip compass again, only to see the compass pointer rotating violently, and Wang Xu and the others chased in the southeast direction according to the guidance of the pointer.
Early the next morning, Zi Wanning opened her eyes in a daze, and found that she was locked in a meditation room, her mouth was tightly gagged, and her hands and feet were firmly bound together by many spider silks. She subconsciously looked around and found that there were a lot of white bones around her, in addition, there were also young women hiding in the corners and being frightened, most of them were aristocratic girls who had just entered the world and were as young and beautiful as her.
Zi Wanning swallowed, trying to break free from the shackles of the spider silk, but the strange thing was that every time she exerted force, the spider silk would become more and more tenacious, and the binding would become tighter and tighter.
"Girl, it's useless, don't waste your efforts!" The twenty-eight girl with a melancholy look on her face reminded her.
Zi Wanning couldn't help but think: "It's a pity that my mouth is blocked now, otherwise I only need to call out the Gu worm to get out easily, why bother with this anger." ”
In the middle of nowhere, there was the sound of chains sliding outside the house, and Zi Wanning was shocked. A few monks came, to be precise, it should be a little demon in human skin, and Zi Wanning, who was a Gu master, recognized it at a glance. As for the robe-clad abbot who followed behind her, Zi Wanning recognized him as the old monk who had fought with her last night.
"That abbot shouldn't be a monster, but it's no different from a goblin if he's in the same stream as a goblin." Zi Wanning's eyes were sharp.
I saw that the little monks came in and took away a few young and beautiful women, and when they were young, they took Zi Wanning away with them. The women in the room were frightened and panicked.
"Don't eat me! Don't eat me! The women shouted in horror.
The monks took the maidens to an open field, where there were large wooden barrels containing yellow mud, and they put the girls in the barrels, which attached to the girls' bodies and solidified at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Later, the monks did not know where to carry out several Buddha statue containers, and they packed the frozen and stiffened bodies of the girls into the Buddha statues prepared in advance.
The Buddha statues are sent to the various temples in the temple for worship.
Zi Wanning, who hadn't reacted for a while, had experienced all this, although the mud was very ordinary, but after it solidified, she couldn't move.
She was made alive as a Buddha statue and then sent by the monks to the temple to be worshipped. The pilgrims did not notice anything unusual about the Buddha statues in the temple, on the contrary, the pilgrims were more likely to pray sincerely.
Whenever you meet a young and beautiful woman, you will be subjected to the same experience.
Zi Wanning was trapped in the Buddha statue and couldn't move, and had to endure the scorching of incense.
Early the next morning, in an empty meditation room, the old abbot was twisting the Buddha beads, and he happened to hear some sounds from outside the house......
Spider silk passed through the oil-paper window and stretched into the meditation room, where there were still white bones in the corner.
