Chapter 53 Night Rain Wild Temple (15)
This night is not peaceful.
The status "Peaceful Today" that Goose Brother posted in the evening is still on his social account. Comparing it with the main screen and split screen of the program, it seems particularly ironic.
On the main screen, the audience stood in front of the live broadcast with trepidation, watching the live camera being kicked forward gently. The up and down shaking camera further intensified the panic-stricken sense of fear.
And as the angle of the live camera kept changing, the audience could see the pale face of the red ghost flash by up close, and see the ghosts' feet floating in the air without falling to the ground.
In the background of the main screen, there were several screams and shouts for help, but you couldn't see what exactly happened, which was terrifying.
Everyone in the row of rooms where the guests were staying had been awakened.
After the incidents in Annanyuan and Baishuang's rooms, problems also occurred in the other two rooms one after another.
First, the talented actor who shared the room with Anthony felt like something was gnawing at him in his sleep. When he opened his eyes, he saw a huge rat squatting at the end of the bed at his feet. Its claws, as sharp as knives, were holding his legs and tearing his flesh. His calves and the bed sheets were all covered in blood.
The actor was so frightened that he screamed, but he still didn't realize the seriousness of the situation. He just thought it was a rat plague in the suburbs and that the rats were not afraid of humans and were attacking people. He quickly kicked the rat down, rolled up and crawled to find a handy weapon to defend himself, while trying to wake up Anthony next to him.
But the result was nothing.
The bed next to me was cold and it had been who knew how long since anyone had slept on it.
The actor's heart sank, and he suddenly felt something was wrong. He looked up and met a pair of focused and silent eyes.
Anthony didn't even know when he got up. He just stood at the head of the bed, looking at the actor quietly.
A chill ran up the actor's back.
While he was sleeping, a person stood beside his bed and kept looking at him...
"Ann, Anthony, what's wrong with you?" the actor asked with a trembling voice, pointing at the rat he kicked off the bed, and motioning to Anthony: "There's a rat! Didn't you see it? After being bitten by this thing, there may be a lot of bacteria infection and many viruses spread. Come and help us drive the rat out together."
Unexpectedly, Anthony not only did not come forward to help, but he stood there and laughed, very pleased: "Why do you want to drive away God's followers? It is here to help me realize my dream. It can also help you. Why are you resisting?"
"What, what wish? Are you crazy!" the actor was stunned.
But he didn't have much time to think and ask questions. The giant rat that was kicked down accidentally had already recovered from its confusion and climbed up from the corner again. Its red eyes locked onto the male actor with a fierce look in them.
The actor shuddered, and suddenly felt something was wrong. This mouse didn't seem to be just overfed. How could its eyes be red? And he saw a human-like ferocious expression on the mouse's face.
Anthony next to him also looked strange...
The actor acted decisively and ran without even putting on his shoes, rushing towards the door before the mouse could pounce on him.
Anthony, who had been standing quietly at the head of the bed, also moved at this time. He pounced on the actor and grabbed his waist, dragging him back with strength beyond human limits.
"Anthony! I have no grudge against you, why are you trying to hurt me!" The actor shouted in horror, anxiously turning his head to look at the mouse over there, while desperately trying to break free: "Let me go!"
"Why did you run?"
Anthony seemed very puzzled. "As long as you become a believer of God, you can realize all your wishes. Whether it's trampling An Nanyuan underfoot or making Yan Shixun look bad, God can do it. What's wrong with that? Are you questioning God's ability? God is omnipotent. Just look at this village and you will know. It was such a poor and backward place before and it can become so prosperous now. It's all God's credit."
The actor watched helplessly as the giant rat ran towards him on all fours. It was getting closer and closer. He was sweating with anxiety and yelled, "I don't want it! Haven't you heard that man can conquer nature? Why would I step on Annan Yuanyan Shixun? Go get what I want myself! Get out of my way!"
This powerful roar was originally the actor's last desperate resistance. But he didn't expect Anthony to actually freeze in his place, loosening his hand that was holding his waist to prevent him from running, and the giant rat suddenly stopped.
Although the actor didn't know why, he was still so surprised that he wanted to cry. He took this opportunity to open the door and ran out.
The giant rat, which had just reacted, slammed into the door with a "bang" and let out a shrill cry in anger.
If Yan Shixun were here, he would definitely know that this is because evil ghosts are also afraid of evil people. If a person himself has no fear of ghosts, but is more powerful or even more ferocious than the ghosts, then even if the person does not have any means of exorcising evil spirits, he can still scare the ghosts and save his life.
It is also because of this that famous generals who have made great military achievements in history are regarded as door gods by the people and posted on doors to scare away ghosts and prevent them from entering the house.
The actor, who accidentally did the right thing and bought himself a chance of survival, was unaware of this. He didn't even dare to look back and could only run in the corridor.
The room next to the male actor was where the variety show stars slept. He rushed over and knocked on the door frantically, hoping that the two people in the room would wake up and help him.
The person who was supposed to sleep in the same room with Anthony was a third-tier male star, but because he snored when sleeping, the male actor was replaced and he was asked to sleep in the same room with a variety show star who also snored when sleeping, so that no one would disturb each other. Unexpectedly, he actually escaped this disaster.
The sleepy variety show star got up and went to open the door: "Who is it? It's so late, what are you doing..."
Before he could finish his words, a figure suddenly rushed into the room. The man immediately closed and locked the door, gasping for breath and shaking like a sieve.
The variety show star was awakened by the shock.
When he looked carefully, he found that it was the actor who was supposed to be sleeping in another room. He was a little surprised and joked: "Why are you running so fast? Are you being chased by a ghost?"
It was originally just a habitual teasing statement, but unexpectedly the actor actually nodded, and said in shock: "It's no different from being chased by a ghost. Anthony, Anthony is crazy!"
The variety show star was confused: "Anthony is pretty crazy, but you wouldn't say it so bluntly?"
This guy has been in the entertainment industry for more than a decade, how come he is still as straightforward as a young man? He wasn't this straightforward when I met him in other variety shows before. What exciting thing happened to him?
Seeing the variety show star who still didn't understand the situation, the actor shouted anxiously, "No! Anthony is really crazy, and there are rats. There are rats this big in my room that crawled out from under the bed and bit me. Look!"
The variety show star looked down at the spot the actor pointed to and saw blood still flowing on the actor's leg.
At this moment, it seemed that the smell of blood stimulated something in the room, and a "creaking" sound came from under the bed.
The variety show host subconsciously looked back and saw a furry paw slowly extending from under the bed. A pair of red eyes flashed greedily in the darkness.
The third-tier male star who was still sitting on the bed was so frightened that he jumped up: "What the hell! What the hell is this!"
The male actor collapsed and yelled: "It's this rat, it bites people! How come you have one here too!"
The male actor, who had already vaguely realized that something was wrong, turned around, opened the door and ran. Although the other two did not understand what was going on, people tend to follow the crowd. Once they see others running, they will subconsciously think that there is danger and run along.
As the three rushed out of the room, they saw a rat and a man coming out of the actor's room.
Anthony's face was filled with abnormal enthusiasm and a weird smile, which made his handsome face look extremely creepy. The rat standing next to him was more than one meter tall, with blood on its mouth and claws, and looked extremely ferocious.
As soon as the three of them saw Anthony's face, they were so scared that their scalps went numb. They only had time to shout "Fuck!" before they ran away.
The mice that came out of the actor's room and the variety show host's room quickly chased after them.
Anthony stood there without moving, just watching the three people running for their lives in a panic, with a trace of disdain on his face, as if he was looking down on them.
"Idiot." Anthony sneered disdainfully. "They can't see the current situation clearly. As long as they believe in God, all their dreams can come true. But they insist on stupidly sticking to those outdated things. They are really old, just like An Nanyuan, old and cowardly."
But soon, his face was covered with an intoxicated expression, and he laughed foolishly: "Mountain God, Mountain God, hahaha! Although this program is stupid, it is still useful. It allows me to see the greatness of God. Mountain God, I believe in you, I worship you, please fulfill my wish."
"What An Nanyuan, what Yan Shixun, ha! I let them look down on me. An Nanyuan's position should obviously be mine, and I should be the top star! Those female fans must be blind to like An Nanyuan!"
Anthony's chest was heaving violently, and he was obviously very angry. But the tone changed, and he laughed again: "It doesn't matter, with God here, An Nanyuan and Yan Shixun will soon die in front of me, and let their fans see how miserable they will die. By then, even if they beg me, it will be useless. I'll just wait for them to be scared to pee their pants. And Yan Shixun, an ordinary person dares to be so arrogant in front of me, I'm going to teach him what traffic is king, I'm the top traffic! Hahaha!"
As he spoke, he reached out and opened his split screen, greeting it with a smile.
“My dear ladies, although it’s a little late, I still hope you can watch my split-screen live broadcast.”
"Next, I would like to invite you to watch how An Nanyuan and Yan Shixun died miserably in front of the camera. They might even be scared to tears before they died. Top stars? Millions of fans? Do they deserve it?"
Anthony's face was almost distorted. His handsome face, which had been slightly adjusted to look like Annanyuan's, now revealed a sense of vulgarity between his eyebrows. His eyes were rolling around like a rat hiding in a gutter, destroying the handsomeness of his entire face.
Some fans who subscribed to Anthony's split screen just received the broadcast notification and entered the split screen, and suddenly heard Anthony's words.
The original praises and confessions were all stuck in their throats. Fans looked at the hideous face that had lost all its handsomeness in the camera in astonishment, and could hardly recognize that this was the Anthony who had fascinated them so much before.
Moreover, the words he said were completely different from his previous gentleness and thoughtfulness. They were filled with the most vicious curses and insults, which immediately made many fans who grew up in a clean environment feel uncomfortable.
Only a small number of fans are still supporting Anthony.
But there were also viewers who came from the main screen. They recognized where Anthony was standing as soon as they saw this angle of view, and they also identified from the distance of the camera several guests who were still running away frantically and the giant rats chasing them closely behind.
The quick-witted audience members immediately matched the image to the screams they had previously heard on the main screen, and realized that this was what was happening behind the screams, as presented from Anthony's split-screen perspective.
[I said before that the voice sounded like the voice of a star I often see in variety shows. It turned out to be him... Oh my god, what happened? When I heard it on the main screen just now, coupled with the red ghost that filled the screen, it was so appropriate that I almost scared myself to death.]
[There's a rat! It's a rat! Did you see the rat chasing after them? It's exactly the same rat we saw before!]
[So it's not just Annan Yuan Baishuang and the others who are being chased by this monster, are the others the same? Oh my god, what's wrong with this show? Isn't it a travel variety show? Am I watching it wrong? How did it become an escape show?]
[Wait, I have a question, why didn’t the mouse chase Anthony? The same thing happened to Rourou before, she wasn’t chased by the mouse either.]
[I'm going to do the math problem of combining like terms. The two people you mentioned have one thing in common. They both went to the bathroom at night and said that they were peeped at while taking a bath. Do you remember that before the guests went to bed at night, they were sharing food for dinner, but Anthony came back and said that someone peeped at him while taking a bath and touched him, and Rourou did the same.]
[Ah? Oh my god, then, did something happen in the bathroom? I don’t believe that anyone would peek at them taking a bath. After all, celebrities nowadays are very careful about their reputation and would not do such a stupid thing. I began to wonder if those who peeked at them taking a bath were these rats?]
[That doesn't explain why Mouse didn't chase Anthony and Rourou. Was it because he watched them take a bath? Don't be ridiculous. Do you think he's a pervert? How can you be so kind to him? Besides, if we talk about looks, I think that Mouse should have gone to peek at Brother Yan taking a bath if he wasn't blind!]
[…Then you will become a dead rat. Have you forgotten how strong Brother Yan is? When we were in Guishan before, Brother Yan sent away a ghost friend single-handedly. Have you forgotten? Is there anyone who has the courage to peek at Brother Yan taking a bath? Even the most fanatical Oats would only dare to think about it…If you really do it, you will probably be sent away directly.]
[I agree that something happened in the bathroom that prevented these two people from being chased. Have you noticed that Rourou and Anthony are not normal now? You all saw Rourou. The main screen device cable is still wrapped around her feet. When she kicked the camera, my heart trembled. The camera was shaking, more professional than the camera movements of horror movie directors. The effect was so horrible. The ghosts were real. I almost passed out when I saw it. And Rourou's hands, didn't we just analyze that she might have bitten them like that? Do you think any normal person would bite their hands to the point where the bones are visible and still smile?]
[I used to think Anthony was very polite and considerate, a very cool brother, and I even followed his social media accounts. What's wrong with him now? What he said made me frown.]
[I was so scared that I cried. I have three cameras open now. I won’t talk about the main screen. I was scared away after taking a look at it. Anthony’s camera is so weird and creepy now, and Brother Yan’s is even more so. I am now buried in the quilt and dare not put my head or feet outside. It is so stuffy and hot that I am almost suffocating.]
[It’s over. Brother Yan doesn’t seem to have the habit of carrying a cell phone. He can’t see the comments we sent. We can’t tell these guests if they are in danger. What should we do? Who will save them?]
[Then we can only pray that they will run to Brother Yan... I hope they can run into Brother Yan.]
Yan Shixun really didn't know the dangerous situation the guests were facing at this time.
He was still standing alertly in the main hall of the mountain temple, surrounded by the slowly moving murals.
Starting with the two villagers who took the lead in moving, all the figures on the nearby murals began to move one after another.
No matter what these people were doing originally, they now broke their still state, threw away what they were holding, ran out of the house, knelt on the ground in the same direction, and kowtowed heavily in fanaticism and respect.
Yan Shixun seemed to have accidentally entered some kind of cult scene, his sobriety being totally out of place among the murals.
The four walls of the main hall, from top to bottom to the ceiling, are covered with murals, depicting hundreds of figures, including men, women, old and young.
If Yan Shixun's guess is correct, these murals "painted" using souls as markers mean that hundreds of people are under the control of "God".
Even judging from the fact that two villagers who had just met a few hours ago were also in the painting, it is very likely that the entire village that they said respected the mountain god has been "painted" in the painting.
Yan Shixun frowned and looked at the movements of the characters on the mural. Suddenly, he felt that the scenes and terrain in the painting looked familiar.
Because of his good memory and eyesight, Yan Shixun still remembered the general terrain they had traveled along the way.
Even though it was raining heavily and dark, and he couldn't see the specific situation clearly, he still remembered from the scenery outside the car window that there were large farmlands and scarecrows guarding the farmlands nearby.
Although he didn't see the houses in the village, if he compared the topography of the farmland with the topography on the mural at this time...
Yan Shixun frowned and observed for a long time, and was shocked to find that his guess was actually true.
——The terrain of the two is exactly the same.
After discovering that the villagers' souls were most likely recorded on the murals, Yan Shixun would not be naive enough to believe that these farmlands, houses and forests were just decorations like landscape paintings.
If these farmlands and forests have the same purpose as the marked villagers, which is to show off, then, could the meaning of that existence be -
Not only do the villagers worship me as a god and are my loyal followers, but even these mountains and rivers belong to me. I am the only one in control of this place.
Yan Shixun's suddenly sharp eyes immediately looked towards the statue in the center of the hall like lightning.
That is the direction in which all the characters in the murals are bowing.
The tall, gilded statue reaches up to the ceiling, with weapons in both hands and a ferocious look on its face, like the door god statues that people used to put on their doors to ward off evil spirits.
But unlike those door gods who were full of righteousness, Yan Shixun did not detect any majestic and inviolable righteousness in the statue. On the contrary, even though the statue was covered in gold and radiated light, it still had a dark and depressed aura, as if it had been hiding somewhere for a long time and did not come out. It even looked at people with squinting eyes, and was timid and disgusting.
On the ceiling above the statue, a huge hairy animal was painted in particularly rich and bright colors. It was an animal similar to a mouse, but upon closer inspection, it looked like a weasel, with yellow fur all over its body. Its body was fat and huge, and in the mural it looked almost as big as the statue.
The animal is not surrounded by auspicious objects like in traditional murals. Instead, it is surrounded by brightly colored paintings of various gold, silver, jewelry, banknotes, cars, and even beautiful women posing, which is extremely modern.
If you didn't know that this was a mountain temple, you would think it was some kind of scam painting to attract people.
He didn't see it clearly before, but looking at it again now, Yan Shixun felt that the two black eyes of the animal seemed to be looking at the entire hall from a high place, and spinning around from time to time.
Yan Shixun suddenly felt irritated. If he didn't know that he had no way to use hand gestures or talismans to drive away the evil spirits, he would have definitely used hand gestures to drive away a god on the spot to test its authenticity.
But Yan Shixun did not stay in the hall for too long. Instead, he immediately walked behind the statue, ready to see the condition of the dilapidated statue.
Now that it has been confirmed that something has happened to the true god, the way to break the impasse now lies on the other side that is completely different from the current "temple".
Everything that is despised by the current "temples" may very well be the traces left behind by the true gods.
However, when Yan Shixun's legs were about to step into the small space behind the statue, he suddenly noticed a faint breeze blowing behind him, as if something was moving and bringing up the wind.
His eyes turned fiercely and he turned around suddenly, and at the same time, his palm shot out with lightning speed and directly grabbed behind him.
Yan Shixun's dry palm grasped a wet and cold thing, which seemed to be filled with blood and rain, and was so cold that it did not seem to be the temperature of a normal person.
Then, his narrow, upturned eyes widened slightly for a moment.
——Standing behind him, even reaching out to him, was a scarecrow covered in red.
These were the scarecrows in red clothes stuck in the fields that Yan Shixun saw through the car window when he was driving past the fields along the way.
No one knew where the scarecrow's hat had been thrown, revealing its pale paper money face that had been soaked by the rain. The square hole in the paper money had been painted blood red to serve as a mouth, but it had also faded due to the rain, like streaks of blood sliding down its face and falling into its clothes.
It was carrying a long red pole on its back that had been inserted into its body from its head, as if it had died from the piercing of its body, or as if it was carrying something heavy.
Yan Shixun quickly recovered from his surprise. He quickly stretched out his other hand and directly grabbed the scarecrow's other arm and locked it under the same palm. He held it firmly and steadily, making it impossible for the scarecrow to break free. His other free hand was used to guard against sudden situations.
"Mountain, God..."
The scarecrow was unable to struggle free from Yan Shixun's hands and could only try in vain to attack Yan Shixun again and again but was suppressed by him forcefully.
Even if he temporarily lost the ability to cast spells, he was definitely not a weakling who could do nothing without them. Physical exorcism? He was very familiar with it.
Ask those evil ghosts who have been sent to the underworld if it hurts when he beats people. Haha.
Yan Shixun sneered and looked at the scarecrow closely without panic, trying to find any clues related to the mountain god from this thing that suddenly appeared.
The scarecrow's pair of black eyes without whites also looked straight at Yan Shixun. It opened its paper money mouth and shouted in a hoarse and empty voice: "Mountain God..."
"Mountain God, birthday..."
Lifeless voices echoed in the empty hall, overlapping and blending layer by layer, forming a creepy empty echo.
It feels like the world we are in is no longer the human world.
Obviously, when Yan Shixun just stood in the hall, he didn't see the scarecrow, but in less than a minute when he walked over, the scarecrow suddenly appeared here and stretched out his hand to touch his neck.
Yan Shixun remembered what Anthony said before, about something touching his back.
At that time, he thought that something was trying to touch the yang energy of living people. But from Anthony and Rourou's description, what they encountered should be black and easy to hide in the dark.
Yan Shixun seriously suspected that those were the charred corpses that he had heard his previous clients talk about.
But what appeared in front of him now was a scarecrow covered in blood, which was not conducive to hiding in the dark. It should not be what Anthony and Rourou encountered.
So, are these scarecrows that move and even appear suddenly also trying to generate human yang energy? What does the mountain god's birthday mean?
……etc.
Yan Shixun's mind, which had been running at high speed, suddenly stopped.
This was not the first time he had heard the term Mountain God’s Birthday.
A few hours ago, when the drunken villagers went to check on the guests, they also said that they had to go to bed early to prepare for the upcoming Mountain God Festival.
I'm afraid what they are celebrating is the birthday of the mountain god.
That time point is tomorrow.
Yan Shixun suddenly understood the meaning of the people on the wall bowing down - perhaps, those people were celebrating the birthday of the mountain god.
But, which mountain god is it?
Now that the righteous god has met with trouble and can no longer control the land and forests, what these things are celebrating... can only be the birthday of the evil god.
The scarecrow was still trying to move forward, and even raised its foot which was dripping with blood, but Yan Shixun was quick to grab its leg with his other hand and broke it cleanly.
“Crack!”
One of the scarecrow's legs broke.
There was no sign of pain on its face, but it looked like a plant that could not feel pain and was ignorant of pain.
Yan Shixun looked at the broken section of the leg in his hand, raised his eyebrows, and a hint of surprise appeared between his brows.
——What he held in his hand was not the straw he imagined.
Instead, it was a dead person's leg with blood vessels and muscles, with straw as skin, but it had no temperature and the blood had stopped flowing.
Even when the scarecrow's legs were broken, a foul smell immediately spread throughout the hall, like the smell of an old corpse that had been soaked in water.
It is hundreds of times more smelly than meat that has accidentally gone bad at home. It can make ordinary people vomit on the spot and is so spicy that they can't even open their eyes.
Yan Shixun was also caught off guard and was hit in the face by the stench.
He immediately took two steps back, threw the broken leg of the scarecrow aside, and then without any hesitation, he exerted force with his palm and crushed the remaining hands and feet of the scarecrow.
Of course, this time he regained control of his strength and did not let the hands and feet separate from the scarecrow's body and emit an even stronger stench, but only broke the bones inside.
“Crack!”
After a few crisp sounds, the scarecrow, who had been struggling to attack, collapsed to the ground. He could only use his powerless hands and feet to keep crawling on the spot, trying to get up.
But it was in vain.
"Mountain God..."
On the scarecrow's paper money face, the bright red mouth was grinning so wide that it almost reached the ears, but the pair of black eyes were dripping with black tears because of the fading color.
It was like crying and laughing, and the expression was twisted and complicated.
"Mountain God, I offer sacrifices to you, my, God..."
"The millet is growing. In the fields, there are no birds to eat the seeds, and no one to pick the seeds. The millet has a good harvest..."
"Pay off my debt..."
The scarecrow kept squirming its body, trying to crawl towards the gilded statue behind Yan Shixun.
Sounds kept coming out of its mouth, but they were a mixture of various complex emotions such as joy and regret. Rather than speaking, it sounded more like wailing for mercy.
Under its body, a pool of blood was dragged all the way from its original place, which was shocking to the eye.
At the same time, as if awakened by the scarecrow, the villagers who were originally kowtowing to the statue in the mural with concentration and enthusiasm slowly stopped their actions, turned their heads stiffly and looked at the scarecrow.
Their expressions were different. Some looked disdainful, as if they looked down on the scarecrow's behavior, while others looked angry and almost crazy, as if the god they believed in had been humiliated.
But some villagers showed sadness and empathy on their faces, and some even covered their faces and cried, as if to say that their choices were also beyond their control.
Although Yan Shixun lowered his eyes and watched the scarecrow crawling from his feet to the statue, he was always trying to do two things at the same time and paying attention to the situation in the mural.
Yan Shixun was quick to notice the movement of the murals. He silently relied on his good eyesight to see the expressions of everyone in the murals in the dim light.
Then Yan Shixun discovered that those with angry or disdainful or indifferent faces were the young men who had abused their families, the husbands who beat their wives, the sons who ignored the opposition of the elderly, and the young men who ganged up with their friends and went up the mountain together despite the dissuasion of others in the changed murals.
Those who were crying and grieving were the victims of violence, wives, the elderly, and even children who were crying beside their mothers.
This inevitably made Yan Shixun a little surprised.
He originally thought that since the characters in the mural were bowing down to the statue, they must be the believers of the "god" who later replaced the real god.
But now it seems that not everyone is like that.
Judging from the constantly changing and displayed scenes on the mural, it seems more like someone originally disagreed with his family's actions but was unable to dissuade them, so he was implicated and painted into the mural, and became a believer in "God".
The scarecrow's wailing continued, drowning out the sound of the heavy rain and other minor noises.
Behind Yan Shixun, on the ceiling of the main hall, the huge animal that was painted in the middle of the mural and accepted the worship of all the characters in the mural suddenly turned its eyes and fell on Yan Shixun.
A malicious and greedy smile appeared on its furry face full of flesh, and its bright red tongue protruded from it, licking its sharp teeth.
It seemed as if he couldn't wait to try the taste of this overly smart soul that had even vaguely discovered the truth.
The eyes of the gilded statue, which were originally glaring forward, slowly turned and looked at Yan Shixun, who was too small compared to it, looking down at him as if he was an ant.
The statue suddenly turned the heavy and sharp weapon in its hand, and the next moment, there was a fierce look in its eyes as it looked at Yan Shixun.
Then the statue moved.
The six or seven-meter-tall statue straightened its slightly bent body and made an attacking gesture, its face ferocious as if it was angry. The statue raised the gilded axe in its hand high, gathering strength, and then dropped it heavily, heading straight for where Yan Shixun was standing.
The sound it made as it cut through the air was masked by the "crackling" sound of the rainstorm, and was completely covered by the scarecrow's wailing, becoming a fragmented bass among other sounds and went unnoticed.
The characters on the murals on the wall all saw this scene.
The soft-hearted wife had already turned her head away, not wanting to watch. The crying child was frightened and dared not cry anymore. But some villagers showed excitement, and even couldn't help jumping up from their kneeling position, cheering.
Yan Shixun, who had been watching the mural, noticed something was wrong. What had suddenly changed the characters on the mural? They had just seen the scarecrow, but what were they seeing now?
Before Yan Shixun could think about it, he suddenly heard a "click, bang!" sound in his ears, like the sound of a statue falling to the ground.
Yan Shixun immediately turned around and looked towards the source of the sound reflexively.
Then he saw, behind him, a huge gilded statue holding a huge axe and coming towards him.
His entire field of vision was occupied by the hideous face of the statue.
"boom--!"
