Nightmare Attack

Zhang Yuanchao's words made Li Bai's face darken instantly. She threw away Zhang Yuanchao's arm, "Who do you call your daughter?!"

Zhang Yuanchao was not annoyed, he still looked honest and honest. He lowered his head to look at Li Bai's ankle and found that it was not injured. His slightly frowned brow relaxed slightly.

"How about it? Do you want me to help you walk?" Yao Shunyu stepped forward.

Li Bai first glanced at Zhang Yuanchao warily, then looked at Yao Shunyu and shook his head, "I'm fine, keep walking."

They are rushing to the old temple in the village. According to the villagers, this temple has existed for many years. The exact age cannot even be determined. They only know that there is a Buddha statue enshrined in it. The people in the village are kind-hearted. They would put incense sticks on the Buddha statues to prevent the temple from becoming too deserted.

Of course, these words are just for listening. After all, their most important task tonight is not to add incense to the Buddha statue, but to use a sickle to cut pigweed to scrape the gold powder from the face of the Buddha statue. If the Buddha's face is scratched with gold, you will know it is disrespectful.

The night in Blackwater Village is not completely black, but a strange gray that shrouds the entire village like a thick mist.

There are two tasks tonight, and they have been assigned. Yao, Shun and Yu performed the first one, which was to scrape the Buddha's face with gold, while Li Bai and Zhang Yuanchao performed the second task together, which was to kowtow before the devil.

Yao, Shun, and Yu did not agree with Li Bai's arrangement at first. He was worried about leaving the unidentified Zhang Yuanchao with Li Bai, but Li Bai's reasons were also very good. First, Zhang Yuanchao was peeping on her. In other words, the target was her, so It is naturally easier to show flaws around her.

As for the second one, Li Bai did not shy away from it. The task tonight focused on Feng Shui, and he was much better than Yao, Shun, and Yu in this aspect.

Soon, the group of people walked along the muddy dirt road and finally arrived in front of a dilapidated temple.

It is said to be a temple, but it looks like a large courtyard that has been in disrepair. Through the collapsed part of the courtyard wall, you can see a wooden building inside.

The building is very tall, and the overall structure is like a large hall. It is majestic. From the remaining red and green tiles and the thick pillars, you can vaguely feel the glory of this building in the past. But such a building stands deep in Heishui Village. No matter how strange it looks.

What made Yao, Shun, and Yu even more nervous was that there was a faint light seeping out of the hall at this moment, and it seemed that there were incense candles burning inside.

"Young man, it's very strange in here, please be careful." Zhang Yuanchao stretched his neck and looked inside, and then said to Yao, Shun and Yu.

Yao, Shun and Yu ignored him.

"Be careful, we will wait for you outside." Li Bai was also a little worried about Yao, Shunyu.

Taking a deep breath, Yao Shunyu pushed open the courtyard door alone. After pausing for a moment, Yao Shunyu was a little surprised. After entering from the courtyard door, what he faced was not the main entrance of the building, but a shadow wall.

At this moment, there are large words of happiness posted on the screen wall, as well as red couplets that look very festive. There are also two big red lanterns hanging on both sides of the screen wall.

There is no wind tonight, and the two big red lanterns are like the two eyes of a giant beast, motionless, staring at me lifelessly.

After what happened last night, Yao, Shun, and Yu had a headache when they saw the word "happy". Besides, this is a temple. What is the purpose of this arrangement?

After bypassing the shadow wall and standing in front of the building door, the old and dilapidated building was obvious. With a "squeak" sound, the wooden door was pushed open, and the scene inside the building was presented to Yao, Shun and Yu.

I saw a statue on the left and right sides of the lobby. The statue was sitting cross-legged in a lotus position. It was more than one foot tall.

The two statues are different from what Yao, Shun and Yu imagined. They are not Buddha statues at all, but Bodhisattva statues.

This Bodhisattva is not the kind-hearted Bodhisattva commonly seen in temples, but has a style similar to that of Tibetan Tantric Buddhism. His body is boldly painted with various bright colors, including blood red, navy blue, crimson purple, and golden yellow. Several colors are mixed in. Together, it can even be a bit dazzling after looking at it for a long time.

On the Bodhisattva and on the wall behind him hang many colorful flags threaded together. Yao, Shun and Yu had seen similar flags before, so they knew they were called wind horse flags, also known as prayer flags.

The two Bodhisattva statues lowered their heads slightly, their golden faces widened their eyes at the same time, and opened their bloody mouths, as if the wrath of thunder would descend on the world in the next second.

Yao, Shun, and Yu were flustered by the sight of the two Bodhisattva statues. If they hadn't said this was a temple, he would have thought that they were worshiping evil spirits.

As Yao, Shun, and Yu deepened their observation, they gradually discovered some strange things. Logically speaking, there should be a statue facing the main hall door as soon as you enter. This is the main seat in the hall.

Wherever there is a vacancy in the main position, the reason why the statue is placed in a secondary position is offset.

Yao and Shunyu walked up in confusion and pulled open the red hanging cloth used as a shield. Sure enough, he found a large stone platform made of bluestone at the main seat opposite the palace door.

This stone platform is called Xumizuo, and it is used to place Buddha and Bodhisattva statues. Yao, Shun, and Yu knew it. There is also a copper incense burner placed in front of Xumizuo.

There were some debris left on the Xumizuo that attracted the attention of Yao and Shunyu. Apparently, there used to be a statue here, but it was moved away for unknown reasons.

Suddenly, Yao Shunyu's eyes paused while he was thinking, and then he suddenly raised his head, and his eyes happened to collide with the eyes of a Bodhisattva statue.

There was nothing wrong with the Bodhisattva statue, but Yao, Shun, and Yu were all in bad condition. He overlooked one thing, a very important thing. Today, when the villagers from Heishui Village came to convey their mission, they mentioned this, saying that there was only one statue in the temple. .

One statue!

The next second, Yao, Shun, and Yu reacted immediately. He calmed down and walked to the Bodhisattva statue on the left, and then quickly walked to the one on the right. Sure enough, there was no Sumeru throne under the two Bodhisattva statues. It was placed directly on the ground. The most important thing is that there are still scratch marks on the stone slab on the ground, and the marks are very new.

Yao, Shun, and Yu took a breath of air-conditioning. It seemed that this was true. One of the two Bodhisattva statues in front of him was once placed on the Xumizuo in the main hall, and the other one... was fake!

Looking at the two almost identical Bodhisattva statues warily, the familiar feeling in Yao, Shunyu's heart became stronger and stronger. Such a huge body could completely hide other things, such as... the Empress Zhusheng whom she had met last night.

Yao, Shun, and Yu suspected... no, they were certain, he was almost certain that Empress Zhusheng was hidden in one of the Bodhisattva statues!

After confirming this, Yao, Shun, and Yu also knew the way ghosts kill people tonight. His mission here was to worship Buddha and then scrape gold from the Buddha's face. It would be fine if he worshiped the real Buddha and Bodhisattva, but if he made the wrong choice, The target worshiped Empress Zhusheng who was disguised as a Bodhisattva statue...

When Yao and Shunyu thought that they might crawl onto Empress Zhusheng's face and scrape the gold, his right hand holding the sickle could not stop trembling.

"This is troublesome..."
