"Up the slope in front is the Temple of the Mountain Goddess Empress!" Sister Hua pointed to a small hill and told me and Coffin Xiaohui.
I looked up and saw that there was indeed a not too high hill not far ahead, connected to the mountain behind. In the darkness, it looked like the two front paws of a giant beast stretching out.
"Hu Ling, do you smell anything?" Qiao Xiaohui turned to me and asked.
"I can't tell, it stinks!" I replied.
"It's the smell of rotting corpses, be careful!" Qiao Xiaohui said, turning to look at Sister Hua, "This place used to be the graveyard of your village?"
"No, this is very close to the Temple of the Mountain Goddess. No one would bury their family members here. This is disrespectful to the Mountain Goddess!" Sister Hua replied.
Coffin Xiaohui said no more, but her face became unusually solemn.
Among the three of us, Coffin Xiaohui was the most virtuous. Seeing her face, which was always laughing and joking, Sister Hua and I stopped talking and followed her cautiously.
With a "boom" sound, my foot stepped on something as hard as a stick. One end of it rose up and then fell down, making a dull sound.
I lowered my head and looked at what was under my feet, and I was so shocked that all the hairs on my body suddenly stood up.
A piece of human arm bone emitting a pale cold light turned around under my feet and struck another leg bone.
Coffin Xiaohui and Sister Hua obviously saw it too, and their faces changed accordingly.
"Let's go!" Qiao Xiaohui suddenly became a little uneasy. She grabbed my and Sister Hua's hands and ran forward quickly.
As we walked further, there were more and more human bones under our feet. Skulls, sternums, hand bones, and leg bones were densely piled up all over the mountains and plains.
The entire hill has turned into a tomb of bones. At some point, a round blood moon quietly appeared in the sky. The moonlight shone on the dense white bones, shining with a cold blood-colored light.
The strange thing is that the entire mountain is made of human bones, but there is no aura, and there is not even a trace of soul attached to those human bones, as if the whole mountain is just the bones of animals.
Looking at the mountains of bones, I suddenly thought of a question.
Sister Hua said that no villagers had been buried in this mountain before, but now so many human bones suddenly appeared, and in the earthquake in Shouning Village three years ago... these human bones were all villagers who died in Shouning Village.
Villager Dashan said that their souls were rescued from the Ghost Mother Temple by Granny Epiphyllum Epiphyllum, so the souls of these bones were all robbed to the Ghost Mother Temple by Zhu Yan and the Nine Sons Ghost Mother.
The evil ghosts produced by the Nine-Son Ghost Mother are all made from human souls. The ghosts used by the Nine-Son Ghost Mother to deal with Coffin Chen and Granny Epiphyllum are actually villagers from Shouning Village.
No wonder Granny Epiphyllum seems a little helpless when dealing with evil spirits. She is the guardian of Shouning Village, but she has to beat the souls of the villagers who have turned into evil ghosts with her own hands. For Granny Epiphyllum, it must be so painful.
thing.
Thinking of this, I suddenly felt compassion in my heart. Sister Hua once said that her husband and son died in the earthquake in Shouning Village. I wonder if her husband and son are among the bones.
I turned around and looked at Sister Hua with some sadness.
Sure enough, Sister Hua also thought of what I just thought of. Her face became paler and paler, and she rushed to the front and pulled out a corner of non-rotted cloth from the pile of bones.
Coffin Xiaohui and I hurriedly followed.
However, Sister Hua stood up again and rushed towards another piece of broken clothes that was suppressed by the bones but had not completely rotted.
Coffin Xiaohui and I looked at each other, and we both knew clearly what she was looking for.
In the end, Coffin Xiaohui sighed, stepped forward and took Sister Hua's hand that was frantically pulling at the bones, and said softly: "Sister Hua, let's go, maybe they have been rescued by Granny Epiphyllum."
This sentence, Qiao Xiaohui and I both know that the hope is actually very slim, it is just a word of comfort.
But perhaps it was the greatest comfort to Sister Hua. She raised her hand to wipe away the tears on her face, with a little hope in her empty eyes, and ran towards the Temple of the Mountain Goddess Empress first.
On the top of a mountain not far away, there was an empty patch of land, and a small temple gradually appeared in front of us. In the temple, there was also a yellowish and strange light.
My heart tightened, it was here, the Ghost Mother Temple that I had been to once before.
Sister Hua rushed towards the Ghost Mother Temple, followed closely by Qiao Xiaohui and I.
The lights in the Temple of the Ghost Mother were obviously much brighter than when I came alone. When I walked to the door, I could already see what was going on inside. There were white candles that looked disorganized all over the floor, and black lotus flowers that were originally stepping on the feet of the Ghost Mother.
I don't know when it was moved to the ground and placed in the middle of the candle. The statue of the ghost mother has disappeared, and the main seat is empty.
The temple was quiet, not a soul was around.
Sister Hua raised her foot and was about to go in. I felt something was wrong. An extremely dangerous feeling enveloped me tightly. Subconsciously, I pulled Sister Hua's arm.
"Don't go in yet!" I looked at the situation in the room and carefully observed the arrangement of the white candles.
After looking at it like this, I suddenly discovered that these candles were arranged according to the directions of the Five Elements and Bagua, but those directions were actually opposite to the directions of the Five Elements and Bagua. The place that was supposed to be the Gate of Life is now the Gate of Death, and it was supposed to be the Gate of Death.
The place where the position was exchanged is now the earthquake position.
I tried hard to think about the records in the "Shengyuan Heavenly Book", but I felt that they were very familiar, but I couldn't remember them. However, I vaguely understood in my heart that this was an extremely sinister formation.
"Girl?" Sister Hua turned around and looked at me in confusion, with a hint of wildness in her empty eyes, a wildness filled with hatred after the pain in her heart.
My heart suddenly moved, and my eyes fell on the black lotus. It was a sacrifice, a sacrifice that led to the living.
Coffin Xiaohui stood beside me, held my hand tightly, and asked, "Hu Ling, did you see something?"
I looked up at the blood moon in the sky. The red light became more and more intense, leaving almost only a faint white edge.
"We've fallen into a trap! This is a sacrifice that uses strangers as a guide. As long as we enter, the formation will be activated! Let's go, find a place to hide first. We'll see what happens!" I took Sister Hua's arm and pulled her back.
pull.
Sister Hua was a little reluctant, struggled a few times, and followed me and Coffin Xiaohui to hide in a dense clump of banana grass.
"Girl, maybe Granny Epiphyllum and your brother have gone in? There are also the souls of the villagers, they should be in there too." Sister Hua asked me in a low voice.
"My brother and Granny Epiphyllum have not gone in!" I said with certainty, "otherwise the formation would have been activated. It seems that Zhu Yan and the Nine Sons Ghost Mother deliberately led us here!"
Sister Hua fell silent, and the three of us stared at the movements in the Ghost Mother Temple.
The color of the blood moon in the sky is getting redder and redder, and the strange red light spreads down like a blood-stained veil. Even the withered and yellow banana grass around us has a strange blood red color.
A gust of cold wind blew by, and after the candlelight flickered for a while, countless souls suddenly appeared on the main seat of the Ghost Mother Temple. They looked like they were from Shouning Village.
"They..." Sister Hua stood up suddenly and exclaimed.
"Well -" As soon as Sister Hua left her mouth, someone tightly covered her mouth and her body was violently pulled back into the banana bushes.
I thought it was Coffin Xiaohui, but I soon discovered that it was not her, because her hand was tightly holding mine.
I don’t know when there was someone else around us but we didn’t even notice it! This chapter has been completed!
