The temple looked very strange in the dark.

However, I don't know if it can be called lucky. At least so far, the more than 20 people who entered the temple have not encountered any danger, and not even a ghost has been seen.

This made many people breathe a sigh of relief and start exploring every corner of the temple.

Temple center.

Li Leping, who had already walked around the temple, had a very clear goal.

Now only the main hall in front of me remains to be investigated.

Immediately.

He took action and was the first to step onto the steps.

Jiang Hao followed closely behind him, and behind them were several ghost masters from Southeast Asia.

These guys were obviously like most of them, they didn't dare to search this weird and conspicuous hall immediately.

However, when they saw Li Leping taking action, driven by curiosity, they finally chose to follow Li Leping to inspect the hall at this time.

In this regard, Li Leping did not stop him, but walked alone at the front of the team.

The thick stone steps are cracked, and the surface is covered with a thick layer of dust. When you step on it, it will even scatter everywhere. When you feel short of breath, you also understand that no one has visited this place for a long time.

.

The steps do not appear to be dangerous.

After climbing dozens of steps, the main hall hidden in the darkness finally appeared before Li Leping's eyes.

The shape of this hall is very similar to the main hall in the temple. Whether it is doors, windows or beams, all building materials are made of wood, and most of them are coated with a layer of red paint. I just don’t know if it’s because it’s been here for too long.

No one has taken care of it, so the paint color on the building's surface looks a little dull.

The combination of red walls and black tiles, coupled with the deserted environment, gives people a sense of dead silence and depression.

Looking around, I saw that the door of the palace was not closed.

However, although the door was not closed, it was pitch dark inside the palace. The moonlight seemed to have lost its ability to illuminate here and could not shine into this mysterious darkness, making people outside the palace unable to see anything.

arrive.

The dark hall is like a bottomless abyss. Once a mortal enters, he is likely to disappear completely.

And directly above the door, there is a plaque with writing on it, which glows faintly with golden light under the moonlight.

"Ghost Palace?"

Li Leping immediately saw these two words on the plaque clearly.

The glowing golden font seems to be written in gold paint and cannot be changed by supernatural powers, making it particularly conspicuous in this strange world.

Jiang Hao behind him also saw the writing on the plaque, and his whole body suddenly felt a chill: "The Main Hall is generally the main hall of Buddhist temples used to enshrine Buddha statues, but now this hall is a ghost hall, so what will happen inside?"

What is being enshrined?”

Being born in Buddhism, he naturally understands Buddhist culture.

But the current situation is obviously not suitable to be brought into normal Buddhist etiquette.

"Go in and have a look."

The darkness of the hall was not enough to scare Li Leping, let alone to make him turn around and leave at this moment.

This hall is obviously the center of supernatural events and must be investigated.

But.

When Li Leping crossed the threshold and entered this ghost palace that no one had set foot in for a long time.

Suddenly.

His eyes suddenly shrank, and his palms subconsciously touched his back, as if he was planning to attack something that appeared in front of him.

Behind him, Jiang Hao and several ghost masters were even more tense, their hairs stood on end, and their hearts trembled.

When everyone entered the hall, the light of the flashlight shone on several faces in the hall.

What makes Li Leping and others feel numb the most is that these faces are almost sticking to the faces of living people like them.

It seemed that these faces had been staying a few meters behind the door, but the darkness obscured their existence. Only when Li Leping and others stepped into the hall could they see these faces standing behind the door.

Four faces stood in a row behind the door, with stiff expressions and different skin colors. Some were painted purple, some were painted green, some were painted red, and some were painted blue.

color.

A dead man stood at the door, his lifeless eyes looking at Li Leping as he entered the hall, revealing an unusual sense of terror.

However, what really makes people feel horrified is not the expressions on these four faces, but the four faces themselves.

Because these four faces don't look like human faces at all.

The elongated face, the nostrils on the chin, and the eyes elongated to the corners of the forehead, these facial features are simply not something humans can possess.

"Paper horse?"

Li Leping, who took a few steps back, immediately recovered from the shock and stared at the faces in front of him.

After taking a closer look, Li Leping breathed a sigh of relief when he looked at the four motionless faces.

Looking at the incongruous facial features and facial features, he thought of something less common, but actually existing.

With this thought in mind, he boldly walked towards these four faces.

"really."

He changed his angle slightly, and after seeing the stretched neck, his suspicion was immediately verified.

As analyzed, these four faces do not belong to humans, or even to paper figures, but to items used in folk sacrifices.

Paper horse.

"What bad luck."

Jiang Hao looked at these paper horses that frightened everyone and couldn't help but cursed in a low voice.

The four paper horses in front of you can be said to be lifelike, but compared with normal horses, these four paper horses are obviously much smaller. Although the weird colors make people feel uncomfortable, they do not seem to be dangerous.

"what is that?"

Suddenly.

After being frightened, Jiang Hao, who followed Li Leping, took a step forward before he could take a deep breath. He seemed to have discovered something, and the light of the flashlight suddenly swept over the paper horse.

Then, his neck subconsciously shrank back.

These four paper horses are not the only ones standing behind the door.

Since there are horses, there must be people who ride them.

However, the person who can ride the paper horse will naturally not be a living person.

Sitting on the backs of these four paper horses are four paper figures.

These four paper figures are equally lifelike, and the colors are exactly the same as the paper horses riding underneath them. The painted facial features look particularly scary under the illumination of the flashlight.

Fortunately, everyone had already been frightened by the paper-horse faces before, so they were not frightened by these four strange people on the horse.

"Four paper figures, four paper horses..."

Li Leping looked at such a strange combination in front of him. While he was mumbling something, his face gradually became serious as he thought about it.

"What, what did you think of?" Jiang Hao, who was patting his chest to calm down, couldn't help but ask.

"I remember that when you gave me the popular science about the Water and Land Dharma Assembly, you mentioned that there would be a part in the Dharma Assembly where talismans are distributed, and there is also a part where saints are sent off."

Li Leping said this with a somewhat uncertain tone, because this was also the first time he encountered such an incredible scene.

The ghost did not appear immediately, but instead, various strange and supernatural phenomena appeared in front of him that did not affect his life.

"Distributing talismans, sending saints..."

After hearing these two words, Jiang Hao's eyes flashed and he focused again on the paper man and paper horse in front of him.

The so-called hair talisman means sending an "invitation letter", but this invitation letter is not given to ordinary people. In the etiquette of the Dharma assembly, the invitation letter is used to send up to heaven and down to the underworld, so as to report to heaven and earth.

When and where the Dharma Assembly will be held, I hope that all the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas and sentient beings in the six realms who have received the invitation can rush to the Dharma Assembly.

However, Jiang Hao knew very well that in this ghost palace, even if there were invitations to be sent out, the recipients would not be gods and Buddhas, but a group of fierce ghosts.

After a moment of silence, Jiang Hao slowly spoke: "Do you suspect that these four items will be used in the next eight days?"

Since it is a talisman issued, there must be a messenger responsible for issuing the talisman.

The four paper figures riding paper horses in front of me seem to be very suitable for this position.

"It's not doubt, it's affirmation, because this is a supernatural place, so the things that can exist in the supernatural place must not be decorations, they must have existential significance, but I can't determine which part of the day these things are in.

Use it." Li Leping's tone was very determined.

"Indeed." Jiang Hao agreed.

"It's a pity that there are no other instructions on these paper figures and horses, so I have no way of knowing when these items will be used, and how to use them is also a big problem."
