Chapter 55: The Human-Skin Lantern

Cheng Bai looked at the two people who walked into the Daxiong Treasure Hall with confusion, and didn't understand why Chu Wan'er did this?

Didn't she know they needed to act covertly?

Exposing oneself to the sight of the county guard is not only dangerous, it is simply stupid.

You must know that the difference between the strength of the county guard and the strength of the county commander is not a little bit. If they have a head-on conflict with the other party, then it is estimated that this little bit of whiteness is only enough to stuff the teeth of others.

Cheng Bai hasn't developed much of the ability of the golden right arm now, and he may still have some confidence in fighting alone, but if it is a group fight, even if he is crushed by strength, it is impossible to protect so many people at the same time.

In order to be able to be angry, Chu Wan'er decided to act in a full set, although she felt uncomfortable from the moment she entered the Daxiong Treasure Palace, but she still gritted her teeth and wanted to kneel down with Xu Chunbo.

Seeing this, Cheng Bai was shocked, and hurriedly ran in and grabbed Chu Wan'er, and was about to forcibly pull her out of the hall.

Chu Wan'er saw Cheng Bai's anxious look, thinking that he was dissatisfied with being so enthusiastic with other men, and she was overjoyed.

Cheng Bai had just pulled Chu Wan'er up, and he found that the pilgrims who were originally kneeling here suddenly all looked at them.

I saw that their eyes were blank, but their faces became very hideous and fierce, looking at Bai and Chu Wan'er, as if they were looking at the enemy who killed their father.

Cheng Bai didn't expect that the believers here had been controlled to such an extent, and he was so shocked that he was about to run out with Chu Wan'er, but he found that the believers outside the main hall were also surrounding the Daxiong Treasure Hall.

I saw that in the entire Pudu Temple, except for Cheng Bai and Chu Wan'er, everyone had become godless and hideous, with their arms drooping, shaking their heads, and walking towards the two of them step by step.

"Get on your knees. ”

"Get on your knees. ”

Everyone was talking to themselves, sounding very infiltrating, and it was obvious that what Cheng Bai had just done had angered them, or angered Pudu Cihang, who was controlling them.

Chu Wan'er knew that these people were controlled, and couldn't help but be shocked by the strength of the national teacher, she was thinking that this kind of scene should be solved, and suddenly felt that someone grabbed her, and when she looked back, she found that it was Xu Chunbo, who had only knelt down for a short time, and he was also controlled.

"Come with me. ”

Cheng Bai said in a deep voice, and ran outside with Chu Wan'er.

More and more pilgrims gathered towards them, and when they saw this, they hurriedly performed light feats, trying to break away from the crowd.

However, Pudu Temple is too big, and he has to bring Chu Wan'er with him, so Qinggong can't fly far at all.

Seeing that there were more and more pilgrims around, Cheng Bai gritted his teeth, and could only give up the idea of leaving the same way, turned around and pulled Chu Wan'er towards the side door.

The temple halls in Putuo Temple have been repaired a lot, and Cheng Bai and Chu Wan'er have been twisted and turned, and they have lost their way inexplicably.

Chu Wan'er came in through the side door, and she was naturally familiar with the road here, but she didn't want to remind Cheng Bai, she just wanted to enjoy this moment.

Cheng Bai is already in a state of flux, and he doesn't care if he takes advantage of Chu Wan'er, for some reason, he always runs into a dead end inexplicably, so he wastes a lot of time.

More and more pilgrims gave up their last resistance and began to obey the voice in their heads unconditionally, so their actions gradually became faster.

Cheng Bai only felt that at this moment, it was like he had come to the end of the world, full of thoughtless and even crazy walking corpses, desperately trying to swallow the two of them as the only survivors.

These pilgrims were just ordinary people, and as long as the mana blessed on them was revoked, they would return to their original state, so Cheng Bai couldn't bear to attack them.

Under the siege and interception of pilgrims, Cheng Bai finally lost his direction completely, and in a hurry, he hid directly in a temple.

This temple is still dedicated to Shakyamuni, but it is much smaller than that in the Mahavira Temple.

Cheng Bai pulled Chu Wan'er and quietly hid behind the golden statue of Sakyamuni, thinking that after they left, he would find a chance to escape.

Chu Wan'er looked at Cheng Bai's nervous and sweaty appearance, and her heart became more and more puzzled.

When he killed people in Montenegro County, he didn't blink his eyes, why didn't he kill directly at this time, but hide everywhere like this?

Looking at the hideous beast-like expressions of these pilgrims looking for them everywhere in front of her, Chu Wan'er subconsciously remembered some memories of her life......

It was a suave son, and she was a low-born store girl, and the two fell in love at first sight when they met for the first time.

Since then, Childe will find her every day to listen to a song, and then reward some silver taels.

After a few days, the boy finally couldn't control his feelings and showed his heart like her.

She looked at his nervous and cramped expression, hid her face, smiled, and agreed.

A few days later, the son used eight sedan chairs to marry her home, and the high-pitched suona sound accompanied by the praise of the people along the way, made her feel that she was wrapped in great joy.

Stepping through the brazier and entering the door of Childe's house, it was the happiest moment of her life.

She thought it would be the beginning of her happy life, but what she didn't expect was that it was the beginning of a nightmare.

She was not Childe's only wife, he had married more than twenty before her, which she had only learned later from the conversation of the servants.

Because when she first entered her son's house, there were only three people in front of her.

It is very normal for men, especially aristocratic men, to have three wives and four concubines, and at first she had this mentality, planning to do her duty as a wife with peace of mind and enjoy the rest of her life.

However, the good days didn't last long, and she gradually discovered some strange things in Childe's mansion.

For example, every night, she would hear the woman's scream.

For example, whenever she lights a candle, she smells a light fragrance.

For example, she found that the material of the lantern in Fuzhong was amazingly elastic, and it was easy to break.

For example, since she entered the palace, she has always felt that the servants look at her not so much as at the master, but more like looking at an artifact.

The servants would let her eat the best food and enjoy the best treatment every day, and they would also give her a massage from time to time to relax.

She couldn't stand this, shirked it a few times, and the reply she got was nothing but the crying of the servants, which was their meaningless eyes.

She never did manual work again, not even touching a needle, not because she didn't want to, but because the servants didn't allow it.

What puzzled her even more was that her original three sisters never came back after returning to their parents' house one after another.

She realized something superficially, and a great fear lingered in her heart all day, and finally fell after a while.

Childe finally showed her true colors, without the slightest kindness, some were just terrifying and cold-blooded, more cold-blooded than beasts.

For he told her that he was going to make her a human skin lantern.

She begged Childe to let him go, but all she could do was a beastly smile and an unforgettable pain.

The sharp knife tore at her skin, peeling it away from her body bit by bit, and the wail turned to despair, and she realized where her sisters had gone.

A new lantern was lit in Childe's house, and the delicate bride stepped over the brazier again, and she looked at the bride in the lantern with a happy face, knowing that she would soon become like herself.
