weird idol

In the dark night, Wujiabao, which is lined with torches, is particularly eye-catching.

When Qin Shaoyou and the others rushed to the gate of Wubao, the clan soldiers of Wujiabao were closing the gate of Wubao.

Seeing the arrival of Qin Shaoyou and his party, the Wujiabao clan soldiers who closed the door instantly became vigilant. They were divided into two teams, one team continued to close the door, and the other team leveled their long spears and took a defensive posture.

A person who looked like a team leader asked loudly, "Who are you? What are you doing here in Wujiabao?"

The crowd stopped their horses.

At Qin Shaoyou's suggestion, Zhu Xiucai hit the horse and responded loudly: "We are businessmen passing by, because it is late, we don't dare to sleep in the open air. After hearing the good name of Wujiabao for a long time, we came over to stay for a night and returned it. I hope it's easy, bro."

He didn't give out the name of the Town Demon Division.

This is also the habit of the Night Watchmen of the Demon Suppression Division.

When going out to investigate a case, unless necessary, the night watchman of the Demon Suppression Division usually borrows other identities, such as businessman, soldier, fast catcher, etc., so as not to scare the snakes and alert the demons and cultists.

After listening to Zhu Xiucai's words, Wujiabao's clan soldiers didn't ask any more questions, so they put down their guard and waved: "The hostess? Let's go in, hurry up. It's getting dark, we must hurry up. close the door."

"Thank you, bro." Zhu Xiucai handed over his thanks and looked back at Qin Shaoyou, who nodded and ordered, "Come in!"

A group of people rode like this and passed the gate of Wubao and the soldiers of the Wu family.

The simplicity of the process surprised Qin Shaoyou.

The Wu family soldiers didn't even verify their identities, did they check their luggage? Put people in Wubao so easily?

They are not afraid that among the people who come to stay for the night, there are malicious people who will be detrimental to Wujiabao?

This doubt did not trouble Qin Shaoyou for too long. After entering Wubao, he found the answer.

It turned out that Wujiabao provided a place for outsiders to rest, a place similar to a small urn city.

In the middle is an open space with several pergolas, surrounded by earth walls and watchtowers several meters high, surrounding the open space.

There are night-time clan soldiers on the earth wall, and there are archers in the watchtower.

The pergola above the open space is barely able to shelter from the wind and rain, but it can't stop the bow and arrow that is condescending.

Therefore, even if there are really bad people sneaking in, seeing such a scene, you can only suppress the evil thoughts in your heart and dare not act rashly.

After looking at it for four weeks, Qin Shaoyou commented: "No wonder Wujiabao dares to take in the caravan and travelers for the night. It really has some strength and confidence."

"Yeah." Zhu Xiucai nodded in agreement, and then sighed: "Wujiabao was just a barren small village more than ten years ago, but now it has developed as much as the powerful family, which is amazing."

"Is there such a thing?" Qin Shaoyou was a little surprised.

He already had some understanding of the world, and knew how difficult it was for a poor little family to grow, not to mention that it had grown to such a scale in just over a dozen years.

"Indeed." Wei Lishi took over the conversation. "Ten years ago, Wujiabao was still Wujia Village. They changed to a new patriarch. It was this new patriarch who led Wujia Village to become what it is now..."

"This guy is really amazing."

After listening to Zhu Xiucai and Wei Lishi's remarks, Qin Shaoyou became interested in the patriarch of Wujiabao.

If it is in the novel, this patriarch is the protagonist template properly, either opening the 'family revitalization system' or getting other plug-ins.

They came too late, and the pergola in the open space had already been occupied by the caravans and travelers who had arrived before. They could only find a corner of the wall to shelter from the wind, intending to make do with it for the night.

Anyway, looking at the night tonight, it doesn't look like it's going to rain, and it doesn't matter if you sit on the ground.

After dismounting, Zhu Xiucai and others divided into two groups.

A batch of brown blankets were spread on the ground to prepare for the place to sleep at night.

One is to feed the horses with hay.

Qin Shaoyou did not participate in these chores, and his attention was attracted by several statues in the center of the open space.

These statues are standing next to the pergola, and some caravan members and travelers who are staying here are still surrounded by them, kneeling, offering incense, and praying devoutly.

Qin Shaoyou walked over and looked at it carefully, but did not recognize the identities of these statues, but thought that they were all kind-hearted.

He was also a little puzzled: Why did the people of Wujiabao put the statue of the god here?

Is it to use the idol to warn the caravans and travelers who are staying overnight not to mess around?

Or do you expect these idols to provide protection for everyone?

Just when Qin Shaoyou was curiously guessing, an uncle in front of him knelt down and prayed for blessings, got up from the ground, bowed three times to the statue again, and made some wishes such as 'getting rich, concubine and good health', and then turned around. , ready to return to their own caravan.

Qin Shaoyou stopped him, and after a few polite words, he asked, "Uncle, what kind of immortal are you worshiping?"

Unexpectedly, the uncle shook his head: "I don't know either."

"I don't know if you still worship?"

"Hey, no matter what kind of immortals they are, it's always right to worship them. As the saying goes, it's not surprising that many people are polite, and the same should be true of immortals. Besides, if you worship a few more, you can get more blessings."

The uncle said, and enthusiastically gave Qin Shaoyou three incense sticks and asked him to say goodbye.

"If it doesn't work, it's at most three kowtows in vain, but if it works, then it's a profit. This business is not a loss."

Seeing that the uncle treats god worship as a business, Qin Shaoyou suddenly laughed.

As expected of a businessman.

"Forget it, idols still can't worship indiscriminately. If you get into trouble with the evil gods, let alone get rich and take concubines and your health is good, your little life will have to go in."

Qin Shaoyou declined the other party's kindness and did not go to worship these statues.

When the uncle heard his words, his face changed for a while, and finally he ran to withdraw the three incense sticks he had inserted, and muttered, "We can't do this business, I'll take the incense back, and you can leave me alone."

This operation stunned Qin Shaoyou.

After watching the statue for a while, Qin Shaoyou turned and walked towards the corner of the wall where they were.

Just as he turned around, the eyeballs of one of the statues suddenly moved quietly.

It stared directly at Qin Shaoyou!

In the stone sculpture's eyes, there were two cold and strange eyes.

It's like looking at delicious prey.

Qin Shaoyou's hair exploded instantly, he turned around quickly, and put his hand on the handle of the knife, but found nothing.

The eyes of the gods have long since returned to their original shape.

The people who were kneeling and praying did not see the abnormality just now.

Nothing seems to have happened, just hallucinations.

But Qin Shaoyou didn't think so.

He hurriedly returned to the team, stopped his subordinates, and whispered: "Everyone, be careful, there is something wrong with this place."

The wrestlers were all startled, and immediately looked around vigilantly.

Zhu Xiucai and Monk Ma looked at each other and asked in a low voice, "Sir, did you find something?"

"Beside the statues just now, I suddenly felt danger, and the blood in my body was also stimulated."

Hearing what Qin Shaoyou said, Zhu Xiucai raised his brows and cast a scrutiny glance at the statue.

"Is there something wrong with those statues?"

"I'm not sure." Qin Shaoyou shook his head. "The sense of danger came suddenly and disappeared quickly. Before and after the incident, I didn't find any problems with those statues."

"I'll go take a look?" Zhu Xiucai volunteered.

"Be careful." Qin Shaoyou nodded in agreement.

When Zhu Xiucai went to check the statue, Monk Ma made a suggestion: "Sir, why don't we change the place to spend the night?"

"It's too late." Qin Shaoyou looked up at the sky.

There is no moon or stars tonight, the sky is pitch black, and there is not a single light to be seen.

"It's already completely dark, and the danger outside will only be greater than here.

And the gate of Wujiabao is also closed, unless we identify ourselves, they will not open the door.

Besides, do any of you know any other places to sleep around here? "

Everyone, look at me, I look at you, all shaking their heads.

"So it's impossible to change places, you can only stay here for one night."
