Chapter 55: Night Rain Wild Temple (17)
Yan Shixun was originally wondering who had helped him, but when he heard the voice, he reacted.
It was the assistant director who always made him irritated.
He sneered and slapped the arm from his waist. "Get lost. Are you talking like a human being? Burial sacrifice? Why don't you say it's a sacrifice for love?"
The man readily let go of the arms that were around Yan Shixun's waist, but did not let Yan Shixun leave his arms.
He laughed softly, causing a vibration in his chest.
Even Yan Shixun, who was leaning on his chest, could feel the tingling sensation on his back caused by the vibration.
"If I hadn't been able to get you out in time, we might have died together. Although I didn't expect you to have such a complex requirement, I will pay attention next time."
The man was not angry because of Yan Shixun's harsh tone. Instead, he laughed: "But, I seem to have saved you. Don't you have anything to say to me?"
Yan Shixun rolled his eyes, thinking that he and this man were definitely incompatible and had horoscopes that clashed with each other. Then he raised his hand and wanted to elbow the man backwards to get out of his arms.
The man seemed to have expected it, and his cold palm directly grasped Yan Shixun's arm.
"Do you still have the strength to stand up on your own? You clearly needed some support just now. Are you so stubborn?"
"Don't bother with that." Yan Shixun snorted, "Thank you for what happened just now. I owe you one."
Actually speaking, this man did save him once.
Although he had other ways to escape the range of the falling statue, he was bound to get hurt. Getting hurt in such a dangerous and unknown situation was definitely not a good thing for him. It would drag down his subsequent combat power and make him insufficient to deal with emergencies.
But precisely because this person helped him so much, it was equivalent to a cause and effect relationship between him and this person.
You have to pay it back.
It's very troublesome.
Yan Shixun never easily formed karmic relationships with others. Generally, if he could respond with money or other yin and yang commissions, he would decisively let the karmic relationship form a closed loop to resolve it. Except for his master and Zhang Wubing, whose karmic relationships could not be calculated due to their long-term companionship, this person was the first karmic relationship that he failed to reject in time.
But even though he was unhappy, and even had the subconscious urge to cast a spell to exorcise ghosts when he saw this man, Yan Shixun still said to him, "If you need help with anything, like encountering evil spirits or having ghosts enter your home, you can come to me. You can also tell me if you need my help with anything else. Don't get me wrong, I'm doing this to pay off my debt to you this time."
Unexpectedly, the man raised his eyebrows after hearing this. His face, which was as cold as a statue, became lively and had a hint of amusement.
"Then I think I won't be able to pay it off in this lifetime..."
He has encountered evil spirits... There are probably too many ghosts in his "home" to count.
However, if he wanted to help others, he would be very curious to know what kind of experience and growing environment could produce such a unique human exorcist?
In the long years he had lived, he had seen countless exorcists in the world. But none of them was like Yan Shixun, who did not rigidly follow the rules of heaven and earth, but had his own judgment. And he did not rely too much on the power of ghosts and gods, but relied on his own human power to suppress evil spirits.
Since he entered the territory of Wild Wolf Peak, he had sensed that something had happened to the main deity here. When he arrived at the mountain temple, he knew that the one enshrined in the temple was no longer the mountain god. Therefore, he was so disgusted that he didn't even want to enter the main hall where the statue was enshrined, not wanting to get his clothes dirty by the dirty things.
The power of Taoism originally comes from the great way of heaven and earth.
When the righteous gods have died for that reason, this place is like polluted soil, rejected by the great Dao of heaven and earth. How can it respond to the request for help?
So he knew from the beginning that the exorcist named Yan Shixun would lose the power of his divination spell here.
However, he did not expect that when he stood in the shadow outside the main hall and was ready to make an exception and enter the main hall to save people, he was caught off guard to find that Yan Shixun could face the danger arrogantly yet confidently without the help of the power of heaven and earth.
When the young man jumped from the air and landed on the ground, his heart, which had been cold for too long, actually paused for a moment and then beat again, which was rare.
The moment Yan Shixun landed on the ground, it was as if he had stepped heavily on his heart. Those bright and sharp beautiful eyes rushed directly into his mind with an unstoppable force.
Yan Shixun...a wonderful character that has never existed before.
The man lowered his eyelashes slightly, and looked at the young man in front of him with his dark eyes, absent-minded for a rare time.
Yan Shixun didn't notice that the man was in a trance.
After he made his promise, he turned his attention back to the main hall.
Yan Shixun didn't care about what this person said.
He had met many people like this before. At first, they didn't believe that there were really ghosts in the world, and didn't take his promises to heart. However, when they really encountered those things, they would naturally come to him.
The two did not waste much time in their conversation.
Although it was less than two minutes, there was a support point for him to lean on and rest for a while. Yan Shixun's hands and feet had slowly recovered, and he came out of the state of exhaustion and regained some strength.
It wasn’t much, but it was enough for him to stand on his own without any help.
——He really couldn't stand having skin contact with this person! He felt so nauseous that he wanted to raise his hand and hit him.
So Yan Shixun pushed the man away and walked towards the main hall again.
The main hall, with its door wide open, was now in a mess, with dirt and dust everywhere, making it impossible to see clearly what was going on inside.
But Yan Shixun still remembered the young woman he had seen in the mural before, who was gesturing to him anxiously, as if she had something very important to tell him.
Moreover, the shabby little statue was obstructed by the gilded statue, so he didn't have time to confirm the situation.
Yan Shixun still had doubts in his heart.
——When he explored the main hall for the first time before going to bed, it was because the small statue hidden behind the gilded statue made a sound that he discovered that there was another space behind the gilded statue.
Just now, when the gilded statue was about to attack him from behind, he suddenly became alert because of a bumping sound.
The incident happened suddenly at the time, and he did not have time to investigate it in detail. But now thinking about it, the two sounds seemed very similar, both of which were the sounds made when the stone statue hit the altar.
Could it be that the old statue was reminding him of something?
This abnormality and doubt drove Yan Shixun to prepare to enter the main hall again.
"Although I shouldn't hinder you, but, maybe you can look back?"
A man's deep and serious voice came from behind.
Yan Shixun's long legs paused as he was about to step over the threshold of the main hall, and he suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.
He turned around immediately, and then his eyes widened slightly.
——In the courtyard outside the eaves of the main hall, there were densely packed with shadowy red ghosts.
The heavy rain poured down, constantly washing the old bluestone slabs in the atrium. The water flowed and splashed along the cracks in the stones, splashing on the ground.
And those red ghosts stood in the rain, with a pair of lifeless eyes without whites, looking towards the direction of the main hall in deathly and empty silence.
They didn't make a sound and didn't make any attacking moves. They just stared at Yan Shixun quietly. It was unknown how long they had been standing there.
Yan Shixun was startled, and then he felt a sense of absurdity and sweat broke out slightly on the back of his neck.
If the assistant director next to him hadn't reminded him, he wouldn't have noticed the existence of these ghosts!
But that shouldn't be the case. Even if he had temporarily lost his power, his muscle memory and subconscious intuition from dealing with ghosts and gods for a long time were still there. How could he not notice these ghosts at all?
Is it the heavy rain that blocks our perception?
No, the question should be, is there something wrong with the rain, or is there something wrong with the ghosts themselves?
Yan Shixun raised his serious eyes and looked at the red ghosts who were standing quietly and silently in the rainstorm.
The ghosts noticed the gazes and slowly and stiffly turned their eyes to look at the only living person who was still breathing in the courtyard.
Hundreds of cold and chilling gazes, one after another, fell on Yan Shixun.
It also fell on the split-screen lens attached to Yan Shixun's shoulder.
Hundreds of thousands of viewers squatting in front of the split-screen camera were so frightened that they trembled all over and their scalps went numb. Many people were so frightened that they threw their mobile phones away.
[What the hell are these things? They are so scary.]
[There must be hundreds of ghosts looking at me. Even through the screen, I can’t stand it. I don’t know how Brother Yan, who is right there, can hold on. He is amazing. And the assistant director, I didn’t expect that he was so strong even though he was so low-key before. He just stood there without moving. If it were me, I would have run away long ago.]
[Thanks for the invitation. I was working overtime at the company and was scared to death. When the assistant director reminded Brother Yan, I was concentrating on watching the screen to see what was in the yard. But at that moment, my boss pushed the door open and called my name. I was so scared that I almost lost my soul. I screamed and scared my boss. He said that if you have any opinions about overtime, you can just raise them directly, don't scare him by surprise, he is afraid of being scared to death... Am I not afraid! ]
[When I think about these ghosts standing outside and watching Brother Yan from the beginning, I feel terrible. They don't make any sound! Even if they make a noise, like the statue in the house just now, it would be fine. It's too scary to stand behind people without making a sound. There's no way to know when they will attack. It's too torturous to turn around and see if there are any ghosts behind me. I have now huddled in the corner of the house, making sure there are walls behind and on both sides so no one can stand there.]
[? ? You actually thought the statue in the main hall was okay? You are really brave (thumbs up.jpg). I was so scared after watching that that I forgot to breathe. When Brother Yan landed, I suddenly realized that I almost suffocated myself and quickly breathed frantically.]
[Aaaaaaah, you guys are actually still discussing which one is not scary! Am I the only one who thinks they are all scary? A statue suddenly came to life, came to life!!! It even attacks people! It’s so big, it looks like it must be several meters tall, my gigantic fear will never be cured in this lifetime.]
[I was originally frightened by the statue, but Brother Yan was so handsome (covering his face and smiling bitterly.jpg), and following the split-screen camera was like watching a 3D movie, the ups and downs were so exciting and fun! My fear was immediately overcome, and I felt that there was nothing to be afraid of following Brother Yan, and I could kill even gods. That kind of satisfying feeling was amazing, as if the whole world belonged to me. I have never experienced such a mysterious feeling in my life.]
[I am halfway into the profession. From what I have heard from you, you should be led by Daoist Fellow Yan Shixun to enter a state of concentration. The so-called mysterious and mysterious, the door to all wonders, because Daoist Fellow Yan Shixun's heart is firm, he has no fear or wavering, he just charges forward with determination, plus you may be a predestined person, with good comprehension, so you have also been led to experience Daoist Fellow Yan Shixun's state of mind. I am afraid that Daoist Fellow Yan Shixun was thinking like this at the time, if the gods do evil, then the gods will also kill... I have mixed feelings, my master always said that I am too obsessed with tangible things, but the great way is invisible. At that time, I didn't understand what my master meant, but when I saw Daoist Fellow Yan Shixun, I suddenly had some enlightenment. ]
[Ah? There are actually experts here? Taoist priest, Taoist priest, please don’t leave! The child just wants to ask if the statues of gods in other places can also move QAQ. Woohoo, it’s too scary. I think I won’t dare to go to the temple in my life. Taoist temples and monasteries in tourist attractions often have a room full of statues of gods of all sizes, and some even have murals. Now that I have watched this program, I suddenly feel that if those murals and statues can also move...Aa ...
[I am dying of laughter. Isn’t this just a live travel show? It takes you to appreciate the natural scenery. Why, aren’t these attractions beautiful? The staff are performing so hard, moving on the wall and swinging big axes. Even the animals are trying hard to show what horror is on the wall. What else are you dissatisfied with? What bicycle do you want? Those who said the show was boring before, come out and watch tonight’s live broadcast and tell me again, this is boring? This is uninteresting? Then I must see what kind of interesting your show is. Is it the kind that can scare people to death? ]
[…I’m sorry, it’s me. I said the show was boring because I was young and reckless. I take it back. This show is so interesting! (The kind of interesting that can scare people to death.)]
[Hahaha, the old audience who has been following the show since the last episode of Guishan Villa said that there is no need to be afraid at all. I have already regarded the show as a horror movie. Once you change your perspective, you will find that this movie is so well made. I would like to call it the light of domestic horror movies. It is especially suitable for watching alone at home in the middle of the night with the lights off. The atmosphere is very good. Especially now that it is still raining outside my house, the red light of the plaque across the street is still shining on my window, and then look at the ghosts standing in the heavy rain in the camera... This atmosphere is absolutely amazing, an immersive horror experience. (Secretly throw away the tissue in my hand that was wiped with tears and snot, no one will find out that I was scared and cried, the plan went through√, the cat gave a thumbs up.jpg)]
[The one who said that, wipe away the tears from your eyes, and you are confident when you speak? I know your ID, and you just said in the comment section that you were so scared that you jumped up, closed the curtains, and quickly hid in the bed. Now you say you are not scared anymore? Hahahaha. ]
[I was dazed. I just got up from the bed trembling. I reached out to get the tissue on the balcony to wipe my tears, but I didn't dare to get out of bed. I was already in various positions on the bed, stretching my legs and arms, and trying to get the tissue. I was like a stick insect, my waist was almost broken, but I refused to get out of bed. When the statue started moving, I was so scared that I couldn't control myself. My heart was clenched tightly. I followed the split screen to watch Brother Yan go up and down, and I was afraid that he would be hurt by the statue. Especially many times, the split screen was facing the statue and the mouse-like portrait on it... It was too scary. I covered myself with several layers of quilts in the hot summer, but I still felt cold and shivered in the quilt.]
[You must have been so scared that the blood was not flowing to your heart. It's probably the survival instinct of living things. The blood is not flowing, so you feel cold hands and feet. But to be honest, even though I know this is the reason, I am still scared. I smile bitterly. This thing is unbearable for anyone.]
[Why has no one mentioned the assistant director? He is so handsome! I never noticed him before, it was so strange, there were a lot of people standing there, but he was just like a shadow, blending into the environment, I couldn't even notice his existence. Just now when he rescued Brother Yan from behind, my god! I laughed so hard that my ears were numb.]
[I noticed him from the beginning because of Brother Yan. Brother Yan seemed to be very unhappy with him, and they kept quarreling with each other in the car. At that time, I was wondering, is the position of assistant director so competitive? Even though I can't see his face, his body and muscles, my God, it's obvious that he is not an ordinary person! ]
[Ah, Brother Yan is so handsome! So handsome!! Woohoo, the thing I regret least is becoming Oats, Brother Yan is so cool. Did you see the scene just now where Brother Yan rushed towards the statue with a long stick? I have already taken a screenshot, this scene is amazing! On one side of the screen is a tall and ferocious golden statue, and on the other side is a young man who rushed forward with a hearty fighting spirit. His body is small but his momentum is definitely overwhelming. Surrounding it are folk and weird scenes such as murals and temples. One is moving and the other is still, one is bright and the other is dark, and the tension is powerful. Amazing! Brother Yan is killing me! It's just like a game CG. I shared it with my bestie and she asked me which game company's new game trailer this was. She was itching to play it now. Haha! There is no new game, but there is a new idol. Brother Yan, nb! ]
[Ahhh, sister, share this with me! I want it too! When I saw that scene just now, I was so shocked that I couldn't speak. I used to look down on those who said that if God stood in my way, God would be killed, and if Buddha stood in my way, Buddha would be killed. I thought they were too arrogant. People should be humble and low-key, and be moderate. But just now, Brother Yan really broke my principles of doing things. I was so excited that tears welled up in my eyes. I clenched my fists at home and cheered for Brother Yan, shouting "Go!" I really felt like I was back in college ten years ago. At that time, I seemed to be so daring and brave, and I was not afraid of anything. Now, have I been tempered into this state by life? I really don't regret becoming an oat. I have never chased stars, but Brother Yan is really a star. He guides me forward and breaks the boundaries I have set for myself, which makes me suddenly have the courage to fight against life again. Brother Yan dares to kill even gods. I am only facing a small leader. What am I afraid of? Go! ]
[Come on, sisters in front! Although I don’t know why an amateur in a travel variety show would become a chicken soup-type life mentor because of a horror live broadcast, it doesn’t matter! An idol who can’t exorcise ghosts is not a good teacher! However, a good idol can indeed play a positive role in guidance. I am so moved by this and want to join Oats.]
[I am dying of laughter. Other people’s idols: Brother is great at singing and dancing! He works hard at acting and singing! My idol: He can exorcise evil spirits and catch ghosts, and he is also a life mentor.]
[Ah? This is the most outrageous reason for being a fan I have ever seen. But, forget it… There are even ghosts and the statues of gods move, what could be more outrageous? 沧桑.jpg]
[Wow, you guys finally decided to post comments. I was scared to death! Why didn’t you post comments when Brother Yan was in the main hall just now? The screen was empty. There wasn’t even a comment to protect me. I was almost scared to death. I wanted to exit the screen but I was so scared that I froze and couldn’t move. It wasn’t until you posted comments just now that I felt your popularity and finally recovered.]
[Ahem... Do you think we're not scared? We're too scared to post comments, we're too busy screaming. My neighbor just knocked on my door politely and asked me if I needed help. He heard my screams. I didn't even dare to tell him that I was just watching a variety show, a travel variety show... It was a social demise. It was so late and I was still disturbing people. I was so embarrassed that I wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into.]
[So it’s you, the lesbian next door. I’m your neighbor. Actually, I was also scared by the show just now. I was just getting scared when I heard screams from the wall. I almost thought my house was haunted…]
[…Aaaaaaaaaah!!! Sorry sisters, see you on Mars.]
[I am dying of laughter. I am sure that the neighbor is a straight man. He just said that he was going to die and you showed up. It seems that the sister in front of me has to pack her luggage and immigrate to Mars overnight. Farewell, sister. Love your hair.]
[! Shit! I just watched Anthony's split-screen live broadcast. He saw several really big rats chasing An Nanyuan and the others, and one of the guests was injured. That's right! They looked exactly like the animal painted on the ceiling of the main hall. They were about to despair, thinking they were doomed, but then the rats suddenly ran away. I was saying something must have happened just now! Otherwise, the rats wouldn't have suddenly all run in the same direction. Did Brother Yan destroy the main hall? Brother Yan is awesome! He directly attacked Wei to save Zhao, and solved the problem from the root.]
[Ah? What is the rat chasing An Nanyuan? I don't know. Because I really don't like Anthony, I directly blocked his split screen, and he didn't notify me when it started. What did I miss? Confused. ]
[Fuck! It must be Brother Yan who did something. I just came from Anthony's place. Anthony was crazy! He was filming the guests being chased by rats and cursing in a sarcastic tone. The guests were already in a desperate situation. Seeing that the rats had found their hiding place directly because of Anthony's guidance and broke into the house directly, the guests were almost desperate. The one called Bai Shuang was about to cry. As a result, the rats suddenly stopped as if they heard something, and then turned around and ran. The guests escaped. We, the audience, were celebrating with the guests, and we were still wondering what happened. Then someone said that it might be Brother Yan who did something. Then when I came, hey! It really was true! ]
[I am dumbfounded. As expected of an old viewer who watched the previous episode of Guishan Villa, I know Yan Shixun too well. Oh no, it's Brother Yan! Brother Yan is awesome! I declare that from today on, Brother Yan is my real brother!]
[Ah??? Did this happen to other guests? I was watching on Brother Yan’s split screen and didn’t know. I’ll go check it out right away!]
As the audience exchanged what they knew through the barrage and comment area, most of the audience soon knew the situation of Yan Shixun and the other guests, and immediately ran to the opposite split screen to watch.
But Yan Shixun had completely forgotten about the fact that he had started a live broadcast.
He was concentrating, his eyes fixed on the red ghost standing still in the courtyard. His muscles were tense, as if he was ready to fight at any time.
In the heavy rain, the two sides faced each other quietly, and no one moved.
After a long time, those red ghosts seemed to have lost interest in Yan Shixun. They slowly turned their gaze back to the depths of the main hall, with their eyes slightly raised as if they were looking up.
Yan Shixun frowned and suddenly had a guess.
The scarecrow that suddenly appeared just now kept shouting "sacrifice to the mountain god" and "birthday of the mountain god". It seems that these few days are big days for the mountain god temple.
In a normal mountain temple, temple fairs, parades, and blessings are held, and the surrounding villagers will bring their children to participate, and the scene is lively. But at this time, the gods enshrined in the mountain temple are no longer the real gods, so what kind of people are coming to participate?
It could be a ghost, a scarecrow, or some other evil spirit.
If that’s the case, then could it be that these ghosts are here to participate in the worship of the mountain god?
Since they came here for sacrifice, it seems possible that they would not have any other reaction before the time for sacrifice.
In order to verify his guess, Yan Shixun squatted down slightly, picked up a piece of rubble that had collapsed from the main hall, and threw it into the courtyard.
The rubble passed through the ghosts' translucent blood-red bodies, bounced twice on the ground, and fell in the distance.
But these ghosts seemed to have no feeling at all. They stood there without any reaction, and continued to look silently into the depths of the main hall with those completely black and dead eyes.
really……
Yan Shixun, who had confirmed the correctness of his guess, slowly relaxed his muscles and turned to look in the direction of the ghosts' gaze, wanting to see what they were looking at.
Is it the mountain god in their hearts?
Then Yan Shixun discovered that what the ghosts were looking at was actually the ceiling of the main hall.
But now, the gilded statue under the painted ceiling has collapsed to the ground, leaving the main hall, which had previously looked extremely majestic, in a state of disrepair.
And the huge animals in the ceiling painting...
It disappeared without a trace.
Only an empty throne was left, which looked extremely funny.
……Um?
Yan Shixun frowned.
Could it be that the animal had just failed in its attempt to see the gilded statue, so it took advantage of the dust in the main hall to escape?
He said with disgust, "Even if the evil god is wearing a fake skin, he can't be a righteous god. He actually ran away? What a spineless thing."
Yan Shixun snorted, with contempt in his eyes, he stepped directly into the main hall and walked towards the space that was originally behind the gilded statue.
The figures on the murals all ran away, and the doors and windows of every household were closed, as if they were frightened by the scene of the statue falling to the ground and had hidden themselves away.
There was only one young woman still in the mural, and she kept gesturing anxiously at Yan Shixun, following his pace and jogging across the fields in the mural, trying to attract his attention.
Yan Shixun noticed something and subconsciously turned his head, meeting the young woman's eyes.
He was stunned, and then he saw the young woman pointing forward with ecstasy, motioning him to go there.
Yan Shixun looked in the direction she pointed, and saw that it was the location of the old statue.
After the gilded statue in front fell, the space behind it was completely exposed.
The dusty wooden statue was lying on the altar with its back to Yan Shixun. Unlike the gilded statue, which was covered in armor in the style of the cold weapon era and had muscles and sharp objects all over its body, this wooden statue made people feel at ease even with its back. Its round lines without edges flowed like water, carrying warm love, as if it was the water source that nourished all life, making people feel comfortable and close.
Even though the stone statue itself was old and dusty, it looked as if no one had cared for it for a long time.
dust?
Yan Shixun frowned and walked over quickly.
He had clearly used a handkerchief to carefully clean the dust from the old statue and the altar when he first explored the main hall. How come in just a few hours, the old statue was covered in dust again?
He stretched out his hand, trying to lift up the fallen old statue.
Then, his hand froze in mid-air.
A few hours ago, although the old statue was in tatters, with even the lines of its arms and shoulders severely worn, and its body covered with dust and cobwebs, without any of the decorations and repeated carvings that should have adorned the statue, the wooden statue as a whole remained intact.
But now, a huge crack began to appear from the feet of the wooden statue, and the crack spread all the way upward to the waist of the statue, as if if it was bumped again, it would split in half from the middle.
Even Yan Shixun couldn't help being moved, his eyes flickering as he looked at the statue.
So, when the gilded statue attacked him from behind, the muffled sound he heard was not an illusion, but was made by the old statue falling on the altar?
Yes, do you want to remind him?
Since there is a problem with the mountain temple, the righteous god has lost his position, the evil god has arrogantly occupied the temple, and even the gilded statue has become a tool and weapon commanded by the evil god, which means that the throne has been controlled by the evil god.
Could it be that this old statue was the mountain god who had met with an accident and was the legitimate owner of this mountain temple? That was why she wanted to remind him again and again, and that was why the young woman in the mural, with good intentions, gestured to him to find this statue?
Yan Shixun slowly squatted down, his handsome face solemn and full of respect for the old statue.
"Yu Shun once said, 'Look to the mountains and rivers, and you will see all the gods.' Mountain gods were born in the mountains and rivers, and they protect the mountains and rivers and the lakes, so that there will be good weather and no evil spirits. They should be respected and worshipped by the people they protect, so that the cause and effect will come to an end. But why are you lying here, no longer protecting your people, watching them being invaded by evil spirits, and even your own temple being occupied by evil spirits?"
Yan Shixun deliberately slowed down his voice and asked the statue in a low voice, as if expecting a response from the statue: "What happened? What happened to those murals, scarecrows, ghosts, charred corpses... Where did the villagers go? Are they the characters in the murals, or are they the other scarecrows and ghosts?"
There was clearly no wind, but the statue actually swayed slightly.
Yan Shixun waited patiently for a while, but received no further response from the statue.
He lowered his eyes slightly and looked at the round and compassionate face of the wooden statue.
What kind of love and reverence must have been in the craftsman who carved the statue for the mountain god he believed in and was grateful to, to carve the statue's eyebrows and eyes so delicately. The slightly drooping willow-leaf eyebrows and eyes are full of motherly kindness, and the details on the statue are so fine.
Even the mountain god himself was willing to rest in this statue during the forgotten time when his throne was taken away and his faith was abandoned, and continue to protect his children with his increasingly meager strength. He was even willing to give shelter to a stranger passing by.
Even if the statue is shattered, it doesn't matter.
Yan Shixun reached out and lifted up the statue, then carefully wiped away the dust and cobwebs on the statue again.
"How about I take you away from here, and we won't be in the same room with the evil spirits anymore? I will help you regain the justice and position you lost. The temple that was occupied by you will eventually return to your hands. Then, you can continue to be the mountain god and protect the people. How about it?"
The statue is silent.
Just a little sawdust fell from where the eyes were carved.
It's like the gods are crying.
Yan Shixun stood up and wanted to pick up the statue.
However, he did not expect that the statue that he could lift easily when exploring the mountain temple before was now too heavy to be moved.
It was like the idol itself was refusing to leave.
“Even if the mountain god dies, he will die on his own throne, dissipate all his strength and soul, and become a handful of yellow earth again, blending into the mountains and rivers, and continuing to nourish the land.”
A man's low and flat voice suddenly came from outside the hall.
He stood outside the threshold of the main hall, with heavy rain and red ghost shadows behind him.
However, his overly strong aura made him look like he was not in a desperate situation among the ghosts. Instead, he looked like he was standing at the front, commanding the ghosts, and no one dared to disobey.
"The mountain god won't go with you."
The man looked at Yan Shixun and said indifferently: "She still has things she wants to accomplish."
“Crack!”
A flash of lightning streaked across the sky, tearing through the darkness.
It illuminated Yan Shixun's gloomy and angry expression at that moment.
