Chapter Forty-Eight: Nuwa Niangniang Temple

The statue of the god holds a multicolored stone in his left hand, which is obviously Nuwa Niangniang, and the multicolored stone says that Nuwa Niangniang's merits in mending the sky are distinguished from her merits in creating people, and this statue can also be called Nuwa Niangniang, just like the difference between sending the child Guanyin, the thousand-armed Guanyin, and the Yulan Guanyin.

There is a dilapidated plaque above the head of the statue, which reads the words 'Mending the Heaven Niangniang', and on the pillars on both sides is a couplet, praising the exploits of Nuwa Niangniang Mending the Sky, the handwriting is a little blurry, and Xu Mo did not look closely.

Luo Ci whispered in Xu Mo's ear: "Brother Xu, this god is Nuwa Niangniang." ”

Xu Mo let out a 'hmm', but thought to himself, "Could it be that the beautiful face on the Book of Revelation refers to this statue?

I couldn't help but step forward, inspect the idol, stretched out my hand and knocked on the idol, and the idol made a 'dangdang' sound, which was made of metal, and looked up and down, but saw that there was a corner of the idol at the bottom that had lost its paint, showing the true color of the raw material.

Xu Mo took a closer look, and the raw material of the statue turned out to be pure brass, and he was even more surprised. The price of brass is not low, between the barren mountains and mountains, such a statue of a god made of brass, can still be preserved here intact, I have to say that it is a miracle.

He retreated, and looked carefully, the hall was very empty, except for the statue of Nuwa Niangniang on the stone platform in the middle, there was only a stone incense burner in front of him, and there were still some incense ashes in the incense burner.

Other than that, there was nothing left, not even the veil had been removed. Therefore, the whole hall can be seen at a glance.

There is a small corner gate on the left that leads to the courtyard.

Zhou Huaizhong waved his hand, the Guang brothers put the travel bag on the ground, unzipped it, and took out a long travel bag, opened the long travel bag, and took out four watermelon knives about half a meter long, Zhou Huaizhong and the three students each took one in their hands.

Then he glanced at Xu Mo and Luo Ci, and ordered: "Let's go in and have a look, you two, stay outside and guard things." ”

Xu Mo finally came here, how could he stay outside and wait? Just as he was about to speak, Luo Ci had already rushed to say, "Cousin, let's go in with us." ”

Zhou Huaizhong glared and said unhappily: "When we meet bad people, we can't be distracted to protect you." ”

Luo Ci retorted: "If you stay here, you will meet bad people." ”

Guangliang interjected: "When you see someone, you just shout loudly, we hear the sound, and we will immediately come out to rescue you." ”

Hearing this, Jing Jing continued: "The bad guys come quietly, they may not have time to call. As he spoke, he stood his left palm upright like a knife, made a downward slashing gesture, and explained: "That's it, if those people have also practiced, if you slash them their necks like this, they will be stunned in an instant." ”

"Okay, okay. Zhou Huaizhong was anxious, and he was upset, so he had to agree: "You guys also go in." There is a dagger in the bag, each of you takes a talisman, and when you encounter an enemy, you can't use it, you just have to protect yourself and don't add trouble to us. After a pause, he said, "You carry the bag and follow us, there is food in the bag, don't lose it, don't lose it." ”

Xu Mo didn't speak, and Luo Ci nodded in agreement.

Bright took out two daggers from his long travel bag and divided them between them. Xu Mo took the opportunity to take a look at the long travel bag, but saw that in addition to the watermelon knife and dagger, there were nunchucks, hammers, long-handled axes, knuckles and other weapons in the bag.

After Guangming divided the weapon to the two of them, he put the long travel bag into the big travel bag and handed it to Xu Mo and Luo Ci to carry, Zhou Huaizhong greeted again, 'go', and the group walked through the corner gate and walked towards the courtyard.

Behind the corner gate, there is a courtyard wall, and between the two courtyard walls, there is a corridor five or six meters wide, and in the corridor, close to the inner courtyard wall, there is a row of old mulberry trees.

There are roads to the left and right, Zhou Huaizhong looked left and right, and then waved his hand to the right, and went to the right first.

Xu Mo looked down at the ground, there was a thick layer of mulberry leaves on the ground, and there were weeds on both sides of the wall, and the mulberry leaves covered the ground, so there was no trace of someone stepping on it. But somehow, he had a faint feeling in his heart that something was not right, but what it was, he couldn't say for a while.

I wanted to remind Zhou Huaizhong and the four of them, and I glanced at them, but I felt that they were so conceited, even if they said it, they wouldn't pay attention to it, and maybe they would be laughed at by them, so it was better not to say it.

The six of them walked for dozens of meters before they saw a door, which was between two mulberry trees, and it was a heavy wooden door with black lacquer, the door was slightly wide, about more than two meters.

When he arrived here, Zhou Huaizhong finally became more cautious, first looked into the courtyard through the crack in the door, and after a while, he turned his head, as if he didn't find anything suspicious, and stretched out his hand to push the door.

The door was hidden, and with a strong push, it squeaked open. Zhou Huaizhong waved his hand, took the three students, and walked towards the courtyard first.

Xu Mo and Luo Ci followed behind with travel bags, and then looked into the courtyard, which was full of weeds more than one person deep, and deep in the weeds, you could see a more majestic hall, the hall was surrounded by houses on both sides, but the part on the left side had mostly collapsed, and there were obvious traces of being burned by fire.

Looking to the left, there is also a courtyard gate on the other side of the courtyard wall, a hundred meters away, and in the symmetrical place with the courtyard gate on this side.

Among the weeds, there is a stone road connecting the main hall and the courtyard gate, but the stone road is also overgrown with weeds, and there seems to have been a rain on the mountain two days ago, and the ground has been washed very clean, so there are no footprints of people walking on it.

Zhou Huaizhong and his three students had already walked in the direction of the main hall, and Xu Mo and Luo Ci followed closely behind them.

Xu Mo looked at the weeds around him, the weeds were swaying in the wind, and he didn't find anything abnormal, but the original feeling that something was wrong became stronger, and his heart became more and more peaceful.

"Sakura-chan, don't be afraid, don't be afraid!" Luo Ci's voice came, but he was comforting Sakura.

Xu Mo looked over Luo Ci's shoulder, but when he saw the parrot, he was moving around on her shoulder, and he was about to spread his wings several times, but he stopped again, very restless. Obviously, it doesn't feel uneasy.

Is there any terrible beast in this courtyard?

Xu Mo couldn't help but think, and in a blink of an eye, seeing that Zhou Huaizhong and the three students had already walked away, Guangliang turned around, beckoned to him and Luo Ci, and urged them to hurry up.

Seeing this, Xu Mo had to stop thinking and quickly chased after Luo Ci.

The group arrived at the front of the main hall, the main hall was seven or eight meters high, supported by several big red pillars, and there was also a plaque on the main entrance of the main hall, which reads the words 'make man Niangniang', and the statue of the god enshrined in the hall is completely different from that of the outer hall.

To be exact, the body is almost the same, and the face is completely different. It was no longer the appearance of the beautiful face that Xu Mo had seen in the Book of Revelation, but it was ordinary, not even the braids like small snakes in his hair, which were almost no different from the faces of normal people.

The right hand of the idol grabbed a villain, saying that Nuwa Niangniang's exploits in creating people. The statue was visible at a glance and was carved out of stone, with only a layer of white plaster on the outside.

Except for Xu Mo, no one else noticed the problem with the idol, of course, it could be that they saw it but didn't pay attention.

Zhou Huaizhong walked into the main hall with a few people, the window lattice of the hall was pasted, the sunlight could not shine in, it looked indescribably gloomy, and the temperature dropped several degrees at once. As soon as Luo Zipu entered, he couldn't help but shiver.

There are mantles hanging on both sides of the main hall, and the mantles are covered with dust, Zhou Huaizhong picked them open with a watermelon knife, and when he looked in, the dust on the mantle fell down and fell on him.

Xu Mo took advantage of this opportunity to glance inside, and there was nothing behind the divine mantle.

"Bah, bah!" Zhou Huaizhong snorted a few times and retreated, apparently when he used the watermelon knife to open the curtain just now, some of the dust fell into his mouth.

Quiet walked up and helped him pat the dust off his body.

Zhou Huaizhong then glanced at the light and asked him to inspect the divine mantle on the other side. The light did not dare to disobey, and reluctantly passed, and behind the divine curtain on the other side, there was also nothing.

The group came out of the main hall and inspected the houses on the left and right, the doors of these rooms were open, but there were only some miscellaneous items in the rooms.

They refused to give up, and went round the houses, and went to the back of the main hall, behind which there was also a stone path, and the stone path led to the back door, which was cast of iron and locked with a brass lock.

Bright took out the hammer from his travel bag and smashed the copper lock open in three or two strokes, throwing it in the weeds. The light pushed open the iron door, and a group of mermaids rushed out.

Behind the iron gate, there is still a courtyard, and an arched doorway is facing the iron gate.

Xu Mo looked in through the arch, and there were still many mulberry trees planted in the yard, blocking the scene in the yard, but vaguely, behind the mulberry trees, a few houses could still be seen.

There were still a lot of fallen leaves on the ground, and the people went to the courtyard, where there were three large houses, and the big houses had no windows, and the doors were all heavy iron gates, and the iron gates were locked on the outside.

Seeing this, Zhou Huaizhong sneered: "Their base must be in these three houses, smash the lock open and see what is inside." ”

Bright answered, and with the hammer still in his hand, he stepped forward and struck the lock of the middle house with a few blows, but the lock was not strong, and it was smashed open in a few strokes.

Guangliang stepped forward and pushed the iron door with him, but the two of them pushed it a few times, but the iron door did not move.

"What's going on?" Zhou Huaizhong hurriedly asked.

Guangming said uncertainly: "It seems to be blocked inside." ”

"Let's give it a try. Zhou Huaizhong continued.

At that moment, the two walked to the door, and Xu Mo and Luo Ci also put down the travel bags in their hands and stepped forward to help. But the six of them tried their best, but they never pushed the door open.

They then tried the doors of the other two large houses, and the same was true.

"These grandsons, they're blocked inside, damn it. Zhou Huaizhong couldn't help but curse and kicked the door hard.

Xu Mo noticed that the parrot on Luo Ci's shoulder seemed to be even more uneasy.
