Chapter 1577 Annotation to the Empress
Yao Shunyu on the other end of the phone was obviously stunned for a moment, "What?"
"That's right, I don't have any traces of modern industry here, and there are also One point, my fellow traveler is also 8 "People." Jiang Cheng paused, "Counting me and Wang Fugui, there are 10 people in total."
Yao Shunyu took a breath, "It's the same"
"That's right. , and one of us died last night.”
Jiang Cheng and Yao Shunyu briefly explained the situation on his side, the weird temple, the crazy monk Huicong, the ridiculous things he saw at night, and most importantly, the ghost Guan Erye who can kill people.
Yao and Shunyu were stunned for a while after hearing this, but after finally hearing that there was a fixed daily draw session, Yao and Shunyu became excited, "It's a match, it's a match! We also have something similar. The situation.”
“It’s just a different form of expression, we are copying the brand here.” Yao Shunyu emphasized.
When he heard the word "turn the cards", the first thing that popped into Fatty's mind was a popular domestic costume drama a few years ago, in which the emperor chose the concubines who would sleep with him that night by turning the cards.
“Flip the cards?” Jiang Cheng had the same idea as Fatty. He had the impression that flipping the cards was exclusive to ancient emperors.
"Yes, how should I explain it to you?" Yao, Shunyu lowered his voice, "In short, the customs and habits of this Blackwater Village are very strange. They are men who are inferior to women."
"The people in charge here are all women. , the men never leave the house, never come to the table when eating, and even speak in a soft voice, like a married woman, for fear of making the woman angry. ”
"The most terrifying thing is that they are men!"
"Can you imagine, I saw a black-faced man with an extremely bloated body, with small feet bound, and then half hidden in the Behind the door, he smiled shyly at me and Li Bai. "
Yao Shunyu's despair could be felt in his voice. The fat man thought about the scene and his whole body was covered with goosebumps.
But Jiang Cheng was obviously more concerned about what happened to them, "Then what? What happened to you?"
"The customs here are very strange. They force Li Bai to turn over the signs every night. Don't get me wrong. It’s not about Li Bai and us, Li Bai turned over for another thing.” Yao Shunyu’s voice trembled. Come on, "They. They call that thing the Zhusheng Empress."
"The Zhusheng Empress." Jiang Cheng said thoughtfully, "It is a fertility deity often worshiped in southern Fujian."
"Yes, they are called Zhusheng Empress, but we are more accustomed to calling them Songzi Empress, or Songzi Guanyin." Yao, Shun and Yu said quickly.
"Li Bai is the only woman among us, and she has the highest status among us, so the villagers in Heishui Village asked her to turn over the cards, and the person she picked would go to Heishui Village to participate in a competition. The annual life-injection conference is also the most important festival of the entire Blackwater Village.”
"The birth-injection conference usually lasts for several days and is held at midnight every day. The villagers inform the location in advance. The selected person must attend alone, but the rest can choose to accompany him."
"The person selected last night claimed to be a painting teacher, and his mission was to go to the temple to worship."
"To worship the temple?" Jiang Cheng suddenly interrupted Yao, Shunyu, and he immediately thought of the evil temple where he was. .
“It’s not what you think. It was a wild temple. It looked very dilapidated from the outside. We went there too, and Li Bai and I reminded him to bring pen and paper with him and record what he saw in the temple. Everything was recorded.”
“The teacher was timid and had no other options, so he trusted me and Li Bai. Everything was normal at first, but soon after he entered the temple, Something happened.”
"A big fog suddenly appeared around the temple. The fog was very thick. The small temple disappeared into the fog in a short time."
"Are you sure the temple disappeared?" Jiang Cheng asked, and the normal description of Yao, Shun and Yu should be that the small temple was covered by fog.
But Yao, Shun and Yu's tone was very certain, "No, he just disappeared. The teacher went into the temple to offer incense to the statues inside and to light everlasting candles in front of the statues."
< br>"Available in Mist After the attack, all the fire in the temple disappeared. It was a very sudden disappearance. "Yao Shunyu emphasized, "It was not just me and Li Bai, but everyone else also saw it."
"Then what?" Jiang Cheng asked.
Yao and Shunyu took a deep breath, "Then less than half an hour later, the fog receded strangely, and the temple appeared again, with the light of candlelight inside."
" We waited for a long time, and it was as quiet as death inside. , we didn’t dare to act rashly, and we didn’t dare to get close until the given task time had passed. But when we opened the door of the ruined temple, the teacher inside was gone.”
“The temple does not count. Large, there are 7 statues of gods enshrined inside, because of the age It has been too long, and the paint on them has fallen off a lot. Li Bai and I have never seen these statues, and no one else knows them. They should be some wild gods."
"There are incense and incense in front of these statues. Fire candles, incense and fire candles are burning, These were all brought by the painting teacher.”
“The strange thing is that in a corner of the temple, we found another incense candle, but the incense candle was arranged in a hurry and the candles were all empty. Didn’t have time to light it up.”
"Tell me again, more carefully, what is the task of that painting teacher?" Jiang Cheng asked.
"Offer incense to all the statues in the temple, and then light the ever-lasting candles." Yao, Shunyu, and Shunyu obviously understood what Jiang Cheng meant, and spoke slowly and in detail.
"Offer incense and light candles to each statue of the gods. Then why did the teacher put these things in the corner?" Jiang Cheng said, "What is in the corner?"
Yao, Shun, and Yu Taking a deep breath, his tone became gloomy, "We looked carefully and found nothing. There was the whole room." The darkest place in the temple, if you don’t look carefully, you can hardly notice it.”
“Also, we found very fresh scratch marks on the wall in that corner. It's about two meters high, and there's no reason why the painting teacher can't touch it." Yao Shunyu added.
This time even the fat man reacted, "So. So there is an extra statue in that position, and the statue can move on its own!"
Jiang Cheng can probably think of the scene at that time, so it shouldn't be A statue of a god, but a ghost.
The ghost was hiding in the darkness, but the meticulous painting teacher discovered it, then walked up to it, respectfully offered incense, and finally placed a candle.
This violated the rule given by the task that only incense can be offered to the statues of gods in the temple, so when the teacher was about to light the candles, the ghost took action. (End of this chapter)
