Chapter 1231: The Ancient Temple
Dead and gray.
The last yellow leaf of the dry branch falls and falls into decay.
The earth without sunshine and rain withered, like the oppressive silence under the thick fog, everything was rotting, rotting corpses, white bones, people, beasts and birds could not escape death.
There was a mound not far from the dead tree, which was actually a dead bear.
The bear is large and prostrate like a hill.
The time of death was not long, the blood was black and almost coagulated, the side of the long mouth was torn tragically, the gap extended to the eye socket, the color of the wound was distinct, black fur, black and red flesh, miserable white upper jawbone, bone nostrils were still oozing black blood.
The bear, which was the size of a house, suddenly moved......
Trembling a few times, he turned over violently, revealing more than 20 young men with vegetables on the other side.
The young men were smeared with foul-smelling mud and covered their mouths and noses with coarse cloths.
The ropes and the pole with the hook at the tip were pulled hard, the corpse was stiff on all fours but the skin was rough and the flesh was slightly soft and collapsed, and the bear corpse was dragged to a rudimentary bamboo pole to climb the plow.
The leading man looked around with fear, and when he saw that he had got a climbing plow, he hurriedly waved his hand.
"A little bit...... Hurry up, drag the meat back to the temple......"
The men are all martial arts masters, and there are even Qi refining period cultivators, but at this moment, they are like a rat stealing food desperately pulling and climbing the plow.
The plough slid over the dead grass, leaving deep marks on its back.
Frightened, everyone is afraid.
The spirit is highly stressed, he has not slept for a few days, his face is haggard, the corners of his eyes are full of eye feces, the whites of his eyes are covered with bloodshots, his cheeks are covered with sweat and oil, his lips are dry, hungry and thirsty, he gritted his teeth, dragged the plow, and ran desperately towards an ancient temple in the distance.
The leading man could hear his heartbeat, gasping violently and his throat was dry.
After running for a long time, I was nauseous and wanted to vomit, but the men didn't dare to delay for a moment, and there seemed to be a great terror hidden in the gray fog around them.
Seeing that the ancient temple is getting closer and closer, I can even see the worry on the faces of my relatives at the entrance of the temple.
However, fate always likes to joke.
Something seems to be running through the fog on the side, and there is a sound of stepping on the gutter!
The invisible threat was actually the most terrifying, everyone almost forgot to breathe, their hearts stopped for half a beat, and their teeth chattered.
"Ghost ...... Hell, quick!"
The men used all their strength to pull the plow.
Don't dare to let go and give up bear meat, there is nothing to eat in the temple, and if you are hungry, people may eat people.
Run, run as hard as you can.
The shoulder was sharpened by the rough straw rope, and it was almost ......
The leading man finally saw where the evil ghost was, just on the side, no longer hiding his body on all fours like a skinned wild dog, running fast, with a big mouth and no eyes, although there was only one evil ghost, it was enough to kill everyone, and at this moment, a lame old man ran out of the temple.
The man is in a hurry.
"Crazy old man, are you looking for death! Go back!"
The old Taoist is dressed in a broken robe like a beggar, in fact, he is a mountain and wild Taoist who walks the rivers and lakes, he can't spell spells, he can only draw a few talismans to do things to summon a soul or something, it's just a mixed meal, and when he meets a hellish ghost, he is a mouse and a cat to send food.
The down-and-out mad Taoist priest held a broken crockpot in his arms, limped straight towards the evil ghost.
"Hehe~ The old way can't die, the evil ghost sees me as anxious as the law!"
Vigorously flung the crockpot, and the crockpot with the missing corners rolled in the air and spilled dust.
The head of the demon of hell does not sink back into the dust.
Something strange happened, the ugly hellish demon actually fell, and his limbs were thrown and screamed.
"Whew......"
The demon seems to have been drenched in poison, and it is smoking!
The man in the lead had a face full of disbelief, this was the mad Taoist priest who walked the streets and alleys to eat and eat? He was really capable of slaying demons and destroying demons? You must know that just last month, the most powerful cultivator in the county was eaten alive by this evil ghost, could it be that the mad Taoist priest was even more powerful than him?
Lao Dao didn't have the heart to be in a daze outside.
"What are you doing in a daze? Waiting to die? Hurry up and run!"
After being reminded by the old Tao, he remembered that the matter was important at the moment, and hurriedly commanded the young men to drag it hard, and dragged the climbing plough to the gap in the temple wall, and the man rushed to find the panting mad Taoist.
"Crazy old man, I didn't expect you to hide that you are a master!"
Lao Dao leaned against the stone wall and shook his head and waved his hand, taking a few breaths to calm his breath.
"What a master is a, cough cough...... Lao Dao I use the incense ashes in the incense burner, for the gods, the evil demon is afraid of this, but the effect is beyond Lao Dao's expectations. ”
"I didn't expect the incense ash to be a good thing!"
"What a fart! Lao Dao knows what you are thinking, so die as soon as possible!"
"Huh? Why?"
The strong man was puzzled, and with a way to restrain the evil spirits, he could leave this ghost place and escape from hell on earth.
Lao Dao pointed to the ancient bluestone incense burner in the courtyard.
"Usually no one comes to offer incense, and there is not much incense ash in the incense burner at all, and it will be gone after two more uses. ”
“......”
Lao Dao took a broken knife and ran to cut meat.
The man sighed helplessly, he still couldn't escape in the end, and then looked at the bear meat, thinking that he might be able to last for half a month, but he hoped that he could wait for the heavenly soldiers to expel the evil ghosts, otherwise, no one in the temple would survive.
There is a little green in the wall, and fifty or sixty men, women, and children are sheltered by this three-courtyard temple.
Before the men could calm down.
"The devil is here again!"
The sentry on the wall shouted.
There was a boom, and the gray mist was densely packed with hellish ghosts.
Everyone stopped cutting the bear's flesh and leaned on each other to see the evil spirits approaching, many knelt down to the statues of the temple and begged for protection, women sobbed and children wailed, and the courtyard was in chaos.
The man who knew martial arts stood in front, and Lao Dao held a few yellow paper talismans with trembling legs.
A few timid people squeezed forward the old way, hoping that the old guy who had just performed well would bring a sense of security.
Getting closer......
Just as the demons of hell approached the walls of the ancient temple.
Suddenly stopped in a hurry, as if he was frightened by some kind of force and did not dare to step into the ancient temple for half a step.
Everyone's hearts finally let go, and for a moment it seemed that all the strength of the body had been drained.
"Whew~ This broken temple is more reliable than those immortals~"
The temple is unknown.
There is no town or village near the ancient temple, desolate, but the grass and trees are luxuriant, the towering ancient trees cover the sky and the sun, moss and creepers almost flood this ancient temple, the surrounding people say that it is more effective to pray for rain here, and there are more or less people on weekdays who go to incense to worship and are not abandoned.
There are many legends about this ancient temple.
Ancient books record that there used to be a big river here, and the ancient temple was originally by the river, but later the river broke off and the mountains and rivers uplifted into the current appearance.
The building is still solid after a long period of disrepair, and the locals call it the Great Temple.
The temple is based on the long strip of bluestone, the stone bricks are built, the wind and rain are polished over the years, and the relief carvings and words outside the house are blurred.
All the surrounding places are occupied by the demons of hell, and many people have died, but they can only survive by hiding in the ancient temple.
The courtyard is busy.
Make a fire to roast bear meat, continue to work after eating a full meal, men and women work together, smoke the rest that can't be eaten in the hope of preserving it for a few more days, the monster meat has eaten the strength, the beasts in the mountains are fleeing recently, and they are lucky to pick up the cheap.
Evening.
Everyone went into the temple and kowtowed in thanks.
There are no statues of gods in the temple, only a huge stone wall, and the stone carvings are exquisite and lifelike.
The stone wall is carved with a pair of tall men and women......
