The statue held a Fangtian painted halberd in its left hand, a three-pointed two-edged sword in its right hand, and in the middle of its chest there was actually a hand holding a turquoise evil ghost shield with a mouth full of fangs.
The appearance of the statue itself is also very frightening. It looks more like an evil ghost than a god or Buddha. It has a green face and fangs, and there are high fins on its head, like a ghost incarnated by a strange fish.
But Li Yi recognized this monster and knew clearly that it was not an evil ghost and that the temple had its reasons for enshrining it. He even knew the reason why it appeared on the island.
This is a Yaksha statue.
Someone once recorded the legend of Yaksha.
It is said that there are yakshas in the sea, just like there are mandrills in the mountains. They are neither ghosts nor enchantments, but another type of their own, that is, a special animal between humans and animals. Refer to Liu Shi'an's saying: The place on the coast of Zhucheng County
, there was a man who built a house for fishing. One day, everyone took a boat out to sea for fishing. A Yaksha entered the house and secretly drank the fisherman's wine. After finishing a jar, he fell drunk to the ground. Yaksha was picked up by the fishermen who returned home.
The man was caught, tied up, and beaten, but he showed no signs of being supernatural at all, and actually fell to the ground and died from exhaustion.
This is one of the few legends about Yaksha that Li Yi has seen, but in his opinion, the descriptions in it are somewhat inaccurate.
A kind of alien that is neither human nor animal, neither a ghost nor a charm, would actually get drunk and die directly after being beaten. This is too strange. Look at him, and then look at Li Xu, they are also considered
He is an alien, and there is no reason why he will die immediately just because he was beaten by an ordinary person.
According to Li Yi's own understanding, it is very likely that the sea yaksha just took off its body, and the real body has long since escaped. However, for ordinary people, they cannot see that scene at all, and naturally they cannot imagine it.
As for the Yaksha statue in the temple, it was most likely set up by the villagers to ensure a safe trip to the sea. Fishermen all know that if they encounter a Yaksha in the sea, they will not only have a warehouse full of fish and shrimps, but at least they will be able to return safely, so although
It is strange to have a temple on the island, but if the temple worships Yaksha, it is not strange at all.
In this case, logically speaking, this fishing village should not be abandoned. So what is the reason why this village is abandoned even if it is dedicated to Yasha?
With this question in mind, Li Yi searched the abandoned fishing village along the path at the entrance of the village.
It only took him about ten minutes to check every door of every house in this small village.
Just as he thought, he did not see even half a living person, and most of the houses showed no signs of being disturbed. Everything in the house was well placed, and traces of daily life could even be seen in some homes.
However, the person disappeared.
As if in an instant, these people mysteriously disappeared without even having time to leave any traces.
A temple dedicated to Yaksha.
All the villagers of the fishing village disappeared overnight.
Suddenly the oil lamp that seemed to be guiding him came on.
There was also a mysterious man who had used some means to make him come to the island unknowingly at some time, and his actions seemed to be a threat, but in fact he could be seen as asking for help.
Who is it?
Since you want to ask for help, why don't you show up openly? Are there any concerns? Or are you just having some unavoidable difficulties? Or are you just pretending, but in fact, no one is asking for help and you have the intention to harm others?
Li Yi decided to investigate this strange fishing village again.
As for the oil lamp that led him there before, he made no other moves after that. He must have wanted to tell him that all the problems were hidden in this fishing village.
So with all kinds of questions, Li Yi picked up the oil lamp and embarked on the road of search again.
At this time, the sky had completely darkened. It seemed that during the time he was thinking, the entire island quickly passed through the dusk and entered the real night.
Squeak.
He pushed open the temple door again. The slight difference was that this time, even with the brightness of the oil lamp, Li Yi couldn't see clearly what the temple looked like during the day, but he could find other people in the darkness.
s things.
Under the moonlight, on the treetops, there were nocturnal birds with round heads and wide eyes.
The night owl is a ferocious carnivorous bird, also known as an owl because its face looks like a domestic cat.
A deserted island.
Abandoned fishing village.
Desolate temple.
But it attracted a large number of night owls, which can't help but make people feel weird.
Yeah yeah yeah!
Suddenly, a night owl screamed without warning, and then all the night owls screamed. The scream was so shrill that it made people stunned.
Hundreds of owls chirped together.
This sudden cry adds a touch of weirdness to this already weird island.
Li Yi suddenly remembered another folk name for an owl.
The chorus of night owls is a sign of great misfortune.
This strange phenomenon adds an unspeakable grotesque color to this deserted island fishing village that is already full of weird colors.
A fishing village where everyone mysteriously disappeared.
A group of ominous birds gather here at night and make shrill cries.
Up to now, the mysteries surrounding Li Yi's heart have not diminished, but have become more and more numerous.
The most important thing is that so far, he has not been able to find key evidence related to this island.
Or it can be said that the supernatural beings on this small island have not actually revealed their truly weird side.
Just when Li Yi was thinking about whether he should do something to see if he could induce the mysterious person who seemed to be asking for help or a supernatural phenomenon, an even more incredible scene soon appeared.
As the cries of night owls resounded through the sky, and the rustling sounds of falling soil were heard, the green-faced and fanged Yaksha statue enshrined in the temple actually started to move.
As if he saw that his cry was effective, as the soil covering the statue continued to shake off, the night owl's cry became louder.
Suddenly, the originally silent island turned into a shura field of howling ghosts and wolves, just like awakening a sleeping demon, making people's faces change.
All this was seen by Li Yi, who was hiding aside.
In fact, he didn't hide his figure at all, but he didn't seem to care much about his existence, whether he was a night owl or the "resurrected" Yasha statue.
Perhaps to them, Li Yi is just an alien who looks very much like a human being.
Of course, Li Yi was actually not too surprised. He originally entered this place by mistake in order to find the supernatural phenomena hidden in the plot. Naturally, he would not make a fuss about the coming-to-life statues and the chorus of the ominous night owl.
He was just thinking about a question.
A question that cannot be answered even after witnessing this scene.
What is the intention of the person who seems to be asking me for help?
Did the other party deliberately let me see this scene?
Otherwise, why did he leave the oil lamp here? It seems that he deliberately asked me to wait here.
Also, it was clear that there was still some time before dark, so why did it suddenly get dark?
Looking at the stars twinkling in the night sky, Li Yi's eyes also flickered and he didn't know what he was thinking.
