A flash of lightning flashed in an instant, and then Xuan Xi suddenly screamed. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Everyone was taken aback by her, Chen Yutian and Gongsun hurriedly ran to Xuan Xi's side and asked, "Princess, what's wrong?"

I saw Xuan Xi pointing ahead with a frightened face, "That...... There......"

Chen Yutian looked in the direction she pointed, and saw that in front of Xuan Xi, there seemed to be something erected, but the surrounding light was too dim to see what it was.

Gongsun took out a fire fold from his bosom and lit it, and a cluster of flames suddenly appeared in this dark space, bringing a piece of light.

Then this piece of light came on, and everyone could see clearly what was making Xuan Xi scream.

It's just that at the moment when they saw it clearly, the two coachmen couldn't help but change color and be frightened.

"W-what is this?"

The two coachmen exclaimed at the same time, their pupils constricted, and they looked like they had seen a ghost.

Chen Yutian and Gongsun also frowned slightly.

In front of everyone, a clay statue was erected.

Different from the statues of ordinary temples, this statue is not a Buddha and Bodhisattva who saves the world, but a green-faced imp with a green face and fangs.

This little ghost is very vicious, and it gives people a sense of evil, and it is not a good thing at first glance.

Moreover, on the opposite side of this little ghost, there is also a statue of a woman, whose hands and feet are tied with huge chains, and the expression on her pretty face is almost distorted, which is very scary to look at.

Xuan Xi probably saw this distorted face in the flash of light caused by lightning, so he screamed.

Chen Yutian shook his head and continued to look at the body part of the female statue.

The body of the woman's statue was densely covered with cobweb-like knife marks, and the right hand of the little ghost, if you looked closely, found that she was holding a sharp knife about a foot long, leaving one knife after another on the woman's body.

This is just like Ling Chi!!

Chen Yutian frowned, his gaze moved down unconsciously, and suddenly, his expression moved, and there seemed to be some words below.

"Mr. Gongsun, give me the torch. ”

Chen Yutian took the fire fold from Gongsun's hand and shone it under the statue.

Under the light of the flames, two lines of small red letters were written on the statue almost at the waist of the imp.

"If a woman is unchaste and immoral, she should be punished by Ling Chi!!

These handwritings, in a dark red color, were like blood stains under the shadow of the flames.

Chen Yutian reached out and touched the handwriting, put it to his nose and sniffed it slightly, frowning.

Although it has been dry for a long time, there is still a strong smell of blood!!

These words are clearly written in blood.

But in this place, how can there be blood letters?

"If a woman is unchaste and immoral, she should be punished by Ling Chi...... W-what are these?"

The two coachmen exclaimed, looking incredulous!!

“

Gongsun apparently also noticed that the handwriting on the statue was written in blood, so he asked Chen Yutian in a low voice, "My lord, what should I do?

Chen Yutian nodded slightly, and thought for a while, "Don't tell them that those words are written in blood, and then look to see if there are any other similar statues in this temple." ”

Before he had finished speaking, he saw two coachmen shouting again.

"Mom, there's one here?!"

Gongsun raised his eyebrows and looked at Chen Yutian.

Chen Yutian frowned, and saw the two coachmen holding a fire fold with pale faces, and retreated in extreme horror.

By the light of the fire fold, Chen Yutian saw that there was also a similar statue of a green-skinned imp in front of them, holding a huge machete, beheading a person dressed as a general!!

Chen Yutian looked at the statue and then at Gongsun.

Gongsun nodded slightly, then took out another fire fold and walked to the side.

Chen Yutian also took the fire fold and walked towards the newly discovered statues of the two coachmen.

Sure enough, there are also two lines of blood characters underneath this statue.

"The general is reckless and deserves the punishment of beheading!!"

Chen Yutian looked at the small line, and then walked towards the other corners.

Soon, he found another statue of an imp.

This time it was an old man dressed as a scholar, and he was cut into two pieces by a green-skinned ghost with a knife.

There are still two lines of blood letters underneath the statue.

"The sour Confucian misleads people's children, and they should be beheaded!!"

Chen Yutian's brows furrowed even more, every sculpture here seemed to represent a kind of punishment, but the question was, why did these statues appear in this temple?

Who built this temple?

At this moment, Gongsun's voice came from the other side.

"My lord, there is one here, too. ”

Everyone's eyes followed his voice, and they saw that in front of him, there was also a small ghost sculpture.

Chen Yutian looked over there, this time it was a person who looked like an official, and two eyes were gouged out by the little ghost, and the two empty eye sockets were full of blood, which looked very scary.

"Corrupt officials and corrupt officials should be punished with gouging out their eyes when they take bribes!!"

Gongsun slowly read out the blood words on the statue.

Chen Yutian's face was solemn, another kind of punishment......

"Ahh......h

Xuan Xi's cry sounded again, and she found another statue of a little ghost.

Chen Yutian looked over and saw that this time it was a man dressed as a businessman, his hands and feet were still tied with iron chains, and his chest on the right side had a blood hole the size of a bowl.

And the little ghost in front of him, one hand holds the same boning knife as he has seen before, and the other hand, impressively, holds a heart!!

Gongsun also frowned, is it digging into his heart again this time?

"The businessman is black-hearted and untrustworthy, and he should be punished by digging out his heart!!" Xuan Xi read out the words on the statue and frowned, "Ling Chi, beheaded, beheaded, beheaded, gouged out eyes, gouged out hearts...... What are these, what are these? It's scary......

Chen Yutian on the side also frowned, always feeling a sense of foreboding.

......

......

The rain is getting heavier and heavier!!

The torrential rain has filled the world and blocked the mountains and rivers, making this world completely a world of rain!!

The wind swept dark clouds, raging between the heavens and the earth, covering the entire night sky, so that there was not a trace of stars and moon in the night sky.

Bang!!

A muffled thunder suddenly sounded, and the electric light crossed the sky, bringing a moment of light to the world shrouded in the rich night!!

Boom! boom......

Two more muffled thunders sounded, lightning flashed, and with the successive thunders, the heavy rain became more urgent.

Beside a muddy avenue washed away by torrential rains, several tall old trees stand up.

The thunder shone by, illuminating the heavens and the earth for a moment, and at the same time, a figure could be faintly seen, and a figure was hanging on top of an old tree.

An almost distorted face flashed out at the moment of the thunder, on the ancient tree shrouded in rain!!

......

......

"What the hell are these?"

Xuan Xi looked at the five little ghost statues around him, and he felt a little creepy. I guess I don't want to sleep tonight......

"These, if my guess is correct, it should be the legendary Nine Heavenly Punishment!!" Gongsun looked at the five statues and spoke slowly.

"Heavenly punishment?"

Chen Yutian and Xuan Xi slowly glanced at each other, and they both found a trace of confusion in each other's eyes.

Obviously, none of them had ever heard of this term.

"This is a legend recorded in ancient books. Gongsun smiled slightly, "I also read that ancient book by accident and learned about this." ”

"Legend has it that after death, the soul falls into the Nine Shades, and under the Nine Shades, it is said that there is a Hades. Gongsun spoke slowly.

Xuan Xi listened, his expression changed slightly, Hades, this name doesn't sound very good.

"Hades, according to legend, is the place where the soul is judged, and it is said that there are ten halls of judgment in the underworld, and each trial will judge everything the soul has done during its lifetime, and every time it is tried, the soul will receive a reward or punishment. ”

Hearing this, Chen Yutian's brows furrowed slightly, a trace of snow light flashed in his eyes, and his gaze gently swept over the five statues.

Could it be that the so-called punishment is the punishment of heaven?

Is that what these statues in front of you express?
