Chapter 134 Eyes
The two looked at Gu Dingbang's lower abdomen.
Then, they looked up blankly. Around them were ruined temples and broken statues of gods. The night was dark and cold wind blew in.
They, deliver babies? Really?
***
That night, a group of people who were worshipping Buddha got lost in the forest outside the Buddhist temple.
They were a group of young men who had come from Zhongzhou to Nanzhou to escort the convoy. After Zhongzhou and Nanzhou ceased fighting and resumed trade more than a decade ago, the exchanges between the two continents became closer. This group of young men had just finished a bidding and were amazed by the sects in Nanzhou, so they planned to stay here for a day or two, traveling at their own expense.
Nanzhou and Zhongzhou are completely different. Zhongzhou has no state religion, and most sects are denounced as cults. But in Nanzhou, there are five, six, seven or eight state religions, and people from various sects can go to the streets to preach their doctrines. If this happened in the capital of Zhongzhou, they would probably be kidnapped by the Heavenly Supervisor and thrown into jail on the first day they go out on the streets.
No, to be more precise, it was difficult for them to even enter the capital of Zhongzhou.
All in all, it was only natural that they couldn't suppress their curiosity when they saw the rampant sects in Nanzhou.
Today was the day they heard about Buddhism and decided to go up the mountain to worship Buddha for fun, but they didn't expect that they would encounter a ghost on the way!
Fortunately, they were all young escorts with some real skills. Relying on various martial arts secrets, and with the help of the light falling from the sky, they walked around and spent most of their efforts, but finally killed the evil ghost.
But it is obviously impossible to rush to the Buddhist temple again today.
It was late, and they were lost.
"Brother! There is a dilapidated temple ahead!"
One person shouted in surprise.
The man called Big Brother had a muscular body and a determined face. He looked in that direction hesitantly: "A ruined temple... can people live here?"
The adrenaline from before was still taking effect. One of them held up an axe and said viciously, "If there's any ghost, I'll kill him with my axe! I'll make sure he's chopped to pieces!"
The eldest brother glanced at him helplessly, but they were all young people, and they all had the recklessness of a newborn calf who was not afraid of a tiger! They had come all the way from Zhongzhou to Nanzhou, and just now they killed an evil ghost by themselves, so who wouldn't have some pride in their hearts?
But he still had some concerns. After all, this deep forest was not very safe, especially in the middle of the night, and he went to a dilapidated temple to stay overnight. This looked like the beginning of a horror story. And what the whole weird world lacks the most is weird stories.
"This..." As soon as the eldest brother hesitated and tried to refute, one of the brothers immediately curled his lips: "Not possible again?"
He shouted loudly: "It's always like this! It's always like this! Are we escorts or cowards?"
"We recognize you as our big brother, and this is how you act as a big brother!"
"You! Lao Liu, shut up!" The eldest brother's face turned pale in an instant.
"Yes, isn't Buddhism one of the state religions in Nanzhou? How could there be such great danger around him?" The third brother whispered beside him.
After all, in Zhongzhou, no matter whether it is a small town or a county government, every year there will be officials who personally go to clear out the big ghosts in the surrounding area to prevent ghosts from causing trouble. In the capital of Zhongzhou, the control over evil ghosts is even more stringent. What is the difference between Nanzhou and Zhongzhou?
"Third brother, you better shut up!" the eldest brother scolded again.
It is said that it is not uncommon for a bunch of young people to do stupid things when they are hot-headed, and the current situation illustrates this point more perfectly.
The boss, who was infuriated, couldn't help but blurt out: "Go ahead! Who's afraid of who?"
"Go! Whoever doesn't go is a grandson!" the eldest brother cursed angrily.
"Whoever doesn't go is a grandson! No one is allowed to back down!" The young people who got the agreement raised their eyebrows in joy, put their arms around each other's shoulders and praised, "This is more like our boss!"
The dilapidated temple is located in an open area in the forest. No one has come to worship for a long time. The road ahead is covered with weeds, and the grass is tilted here and there. A few small animals whose faces cannot be seen clearly run through the forest, causing a burst of insect chirping.
The closer they got, the more the enthusiastic young people sensed a mysterious smell.
Someone who has lived in a strange world for more than ten years can easily think of the beginnings of several strange events.
The gods worshipped in the temples were actually evil gods, and they were tricked into being sacrifices; the inside had become a spider cave, waiting for people to fall into the trap. At that time, the spider silk wrapped around their heads, making it so sticky and stuffy that people could not breathe, but the extremely tough spider silk would not break easily. They struggled and were terrified, and were hung upside down by the horrible demons crawling on the spider web, and suffocated to death in the spider's cocoon like stored food.
But now that things have come to that point, wouldn’t it be embarrassing if I don’t go in?
The young men had mixed feelings, but no one wanted to be the first one to leave.
Their frightened eyes darted around, trying to find some evidence to verify that there was indeed nothing wrong here.
But after searching for a long time, they found nothing, and they felt that there were more problems!
They noticed that there seemed to be traces of something walking by the ruined temple. The traces were very light and almost invisible without careful observation. Unless someone was escaping and deliberately wiped out the traces, only a ghost with such a light weight could leave such imperceptible traces on it.
The third brother's nose moved, his brows furrowed, and for some reason he lowered his voice and huddled together with his companions, asking anxiously, "Do you smell anything fishy?"
The faces of the young men who were gradually coming back to their senses turned pale. The eldest brother tried hard to say, "Smell, what smell, there is no smell at all. I said I smelled the smell of scones!"
The eldest brother swallowed nervously: "Third brother, you said that, do you want to go back..."
"Who wants to go back!" The third brother raised his voice slightly.
Everyone's eyes widened. The fourth brother rushed over and covered the third brother's mouth, whispering: "You bastard, are you trying to kill yourself?"
The third brother quickly shook his head: "I...I..."
The rest of the people couldn't help but look over with expectant eyes.
Speak, speak, speak out—
If you are scared, you should leave!
The third brother chewed on his words for a long time: "I think it's okay to go and take a look."
The others gritted their teeth and said, "…Let's go!"
The voices they used to utter these harsh words were as low as the hum of a mosquito.
As they got closer to the temple, they could hear more and more strange noises, including panting, burning firewood, and all kinds of sounds mixed together, including people talking.
As everyone listened, Lao Wu spoke first: "Maybe we are overthinking it. Someone must have entered here in advance."
The voices were very low and various sounds were mixed together, so it was difficult to hear clearly. I could only occasionally hear a few encouraging words such as "try harder", "we'll be there soon", and "come on".
For a moment, everyone's heart couldn't help but tremble along with the speaker's gentle voice.
Lao Wu said vaguely: "Is it because the couple is afraid of meeting people..."
The boss coughed dryly and said logically: "Then let's not go..."
"Let's go and have a look." Lao Liu suddenly said, his eyes slightly shining: "I haven't seen it."
"…….You're almost there!" the boss couldn't help but scold.
Lao Liu raised his eyebrows: "Or are you guys too scared to go?"
The explosion point was hit accurately, and the others immediately started arguing: "Who dares not to go? Who accompanied you here? Huh?"
The dilapidated temple is not big and is drafty on all sides. A faint firelight can be seen coming out of the main door. If you get closer, you can see some shadows twisting in the light of the fire.
A few people found another way and slid to the other side quietly on the grass.
There was a big hole in the wall here. They went outside and found that the inside was covered with a layer of gray rags.
Approaching here, everyone couldn't help but hold their breath and breathe lightly.
The sound became clearer.
They listened expectantly.
But then I heard the voice of a third person.
The person who had been howling in a low voice was a man, and the other two people, one with a gentle tone and the other with an anxious tone, seemed to be women.
Several people looked at each other, all confused.
He couldn't help but stare at the gray cloth with a strange expression.
Lao Liu couldn't hold it in any longer, and with a little curiosity about opening the door to a new world, he lifted the gray rag with trembling hands.
The first thing that came through was the light from the burning firewood, followed by the shadows of three people in the ruined temple, and the faint smell of blood was smelt at the tip of my nose.
The first thing they saw were two upright figures. One was wearing various ornaments and carrying a long stick on his back. His head was slightly lowered and his brows were furrowed. The other was wearing a piece of cloth and his hair could not be seen clearly. Only his slender figure and pretty face could be seen, glowing slightly under the firelight.
There was a pile of debris blocking the way ahead, and several people were huddled together. Several pairs of eyes appeared in the darkness.
The shadow swayed on the broken wall, and the light made the shadow extremely long and tall.
The boss vaguely felt that something was wrong. The smell of blood at the tip of his nose became stronger and stronger with the light pouring in, and the hoarse voice of the man in his ears became heavier and heavier.
His pupils shrank!
——I saw something suddenly popping out from the wall opposite the two people!
“**——”
The eldest brother quickly lowered his head and frantically covered the mouth of the dumbfounded Old Six.
When he looked up hurriedly again, his eyes met the two people opposite him accurately.
Those were two pairs of extremely vigilant eyes filled with murderous intent.
The firelight fell, outlining the shadows beneath the two people's facial features.
The shadows behind them were swaying.
No, that's not right.
It's not their shadows that are shaking!
But the thing that serves as a reference for their shadows is shaking!
The rugged shadow broke out from the mass of shadows, and four or five tentacles were swaying like water plants!
The person opposite, who was covered with ornaments, lowered his eyes and looked at them.
It was as if a ferocious beast was locking onto them!
The boss's breathing quickened.
"run……."
But people are often unable to mobilize their own bodies in extremely dangerous situations, and this group of young people obviously did not escape.
When she walked over, her movements were obviously very slow, but an extreme fear seeped out from their hearts and grabbed their souls!
The man came closer and closer, covering the swaying shadow behind him.
The man was still moaning.
All kinds of ghostly things popped into my mind and I couldn't get rid of them.
Will they, will they become that man too?
This sentence suddenly popped up in everyone's mind!
The man was getting closer and closer, but they couldn't move.
She muttered in a low voice, looking at them as if they were dead, her condescending eyes stepping on their faces.
Several people began to tremble, and their hands and feet were extremely cold.
Even more terrifying things are about to happen!
The long stick was pulled out from behind her and slid across the ground. Every stroke was like a prelude to a ghostly carnival!
I saw that under that person's eyes, the muscles were slowly wriggling, compressing the area around the eyes and causing blood-red bruises, and a pair of eyes opened from under her eyes!
Then, another pair of eyes opened from beneath her new eyes.
Another pair, another pair, until the whole face is crowded with eyes! Like a pomegranate that has been broken open, revealing the dense flesh inside!
Various bits of ornaments collided with each other and shook continuously.
The woman's lips opened and closed, making her eyes bloodshot. Her entire face was filled with bloodshot eyes, which stared at them intently.
She said calmly, "The eyes are really haunting."
The veins on her neck bulged, and with a sudden force, several more eyes grew out of her flesh and blood! The eyeballs rolled around!
The sticks swung down--
The huge impact came like a tidal wave!
Several people were sweating profusely as they witnessed an extremely horrifying scene, but they were unable to move and could only watch death approaching in despair!
***
Liuwei took off the rag that he used to cover his white hair and wrapped it around the mucus-covered baby, who was red and wrinkled.
Liuwei skillfully wrapped his eight hands one by one and picked up the baby.
Look up and wish.
Shi Yuan's collar was pulled up, and her face was splattered with blood. Her hands seemed to have scratched something on her face. When she saw Liuwei looking at her, she threw the thing on the ground aside. The thing rolled on the floor, covered in dust and was forced to stop, looking at the broken statue in the center of the ruined temple.
Shi Yuan pouted and said, "They are some thieves, they are trying to rob us, right? I will knock them out and throw them into the temple as gifts."
After she finished explaining, she couldn't help but come over curiously and tease the baby: "It looks normal, but why is it so ugly?"
Liu Wei, who was barely experienced, smiled and said, "It will look good when it opens in the future."
"As for normal..." Liuwei paused: "It's normal."
The two were looking at the baby.
At this time, Gu Dingbang also opened his eyes weakly.
In his bright or dark perspective.
Liuwei was the first to come up and said with a smile: "You're awake, the operation was successful!"
"Look at your child. He looks so much like you!"
A baby was handed over with a light voice. The baby opened his three eyes as if with telepathy and smiled happily towards his blood-related relatives!
