Although the young wife was pregnant, she was still some time away from giving birth. This was obviously a trip to the shrine that happened sometime before they went to the hospital.
Tang Mianmian narrowed her eyes. "Did these people come to the Ruyue Shrine before they died? Could it be that their deaths were related to the Ruyue Shrine?"
Xiao Tangqiu: "Blind student, you've found the highlight."
Tang Mianmian stroked her chin and continued to speculate: "Could it be that those natural and man-made disasters, the subway overturning, the hospital fire, and even the earthquake... are all related to the Ruyue Shrine?"
They subconsciously looked at the shrine maiden who was the only one who knew the truth, but Ruyue remained indifferent and taciturn.
"They are about to enter the main hall!" Yu Fuling shouted anxiously.
Seeing that those people were about to enter the crowded main hall, Xue Junli made a quick decision and said, "Let's go, let's follow them."
So they hurriedly followed the others into the main hall. The main hall, which was not very large, was crowded with people who came to make wishes and fulfill wishes. They lost track of their targets almost instantly.
While searching for his target in the crowd, Xiao Tangqiu looked at the statue enshrined in the main hall. There was no doubt that the god enshrined in Ruyue Shrine was naturally the mountain god. He had never been to a shrine before and didn't know what the statues enshrined in ordinary shrines looked like, but he knew that those statues would definitely not look like the statue in Ruyue Shrine - the statue enshrined in Ruyue Shrine was actually a huge wolf-shaped stone statue!
This wolf-shaped stone statue is not much different from the wolf-shaped stone statues decorated outside the main hall, except that it is much larger. It squats in the center of the main hall. Although it is just a stone statue, the beast's unique eyes and sharp fangs are extremely lifelike.
It looked down at everyone in the main hall from above. The dark stone statue appeared extremely gloomy, as if it was looking down upon all living beings from a high position, and as if it would pounce down with its fangs and claws at the next moment, tearing these believers who came here happily to make and fulfill their wishes into pieces.
All in all, this wolf-shaped stone statue not only lacks the solemnity that an ordinary statue should have, but it even looks eerie and terrifying with its green face and fangs, which makes people shudder.
Do ordinary shrines really enshrine this kind of statue?
Xiao Tangqiu didn't know, because he had no other reference examples, but he observed the expressions of others and found that even Xue Junli frowned slightly. They obviously thought that this statue was very strange.
Tang Mianmian even muttered directly, "This statue... is too evil, isn't it? It makes me feel uncomfortable just looking at it."
However, except for Xiao Tangqiu and his group, the others not only did not think that the wolf-shaped statue was evil, but their expressions were very pious. He quietly observed for a while and found a clue - those who came to make a wish, although their expressions were still pious, at most they just stood in front of the wolf-shaped statue with their eyes closed and bowed. However, those who came to fulfill their wishes not only had extremely pious expressions, but were almost crazy in their piety, and even knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times and nine times.
This only proves one thing: making a wish to the mountain god is indeed very effective, so those who come to fulfill their wishes are so pious.
Xiao Tangqiu was increasingly bewildered. What was the origin of this mountain deity? If this mountain deity was truly so powerful, why had the residents of Baigui Village fallen into such a state? Hadn't the residents of Baigui Village ever wished for a good harvest and a peaceful life? If this mountain deity was truly powerful, why didn't it protect Baigui Village in the first place, and now has returned to protect Baigui Town?
At this moment, he suddenly made an even more shocking discovery: "Wait a minute... that statue seems to have grown bigger!"
