He Jianfei said in surprise: "The atmosphere here is indeed a bit unusual, but it is too strange to build so many temples in this place. There is no room for two masters in one day, and one temple cannot accommodate two gods. In such a small piece of open space, more than a dozen temples have been erected. No matter how ignorant you are, you can't be this ignorant, right?" Old Man Li interjected: "Perhaps people at that time were forced to make a living and had no money to buy land, so they put these temples of gods together." He Jianfei shook his head and said: "Xi'an is the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties and has a very deep cultural origin. Even the poor would not do this. Besides, if you want to worship, why not worship Tathagata instead of respecting the Three Pure Ones, but make some small gods. In my opinion, this open space can be used to build a medium-sized building Wouldn't a large-scale temple be better?" Old Man Li finally figured out the deeper meaning of He Jianfei's words: "You mean, these are deliberately made like this?" He Jianfei frowned and said, "It's hard to say. It's still early anyway, Let's check each one." They picked the nearest small temple and entered.
The door of this temple is in dilapidated condition, with only half of the wooden door decayed by moths and fragments hanging sparsely on the frame.
He Jianfei touched it lightly with his hand, and it suddenly collapsed. A large spider web covered the way into the temple, but there was no spider on it.
He Jianfei couldn't help but feel strange when he saw that some of the webs were still brand new. Looking down, he found a few shriveled spider corpses on the ground.
He Jianfei picked up the corpses and pinched them with his hands: "It looks like the blood was drained by something? Could it be..." Just as his face darkened as he thought about it, Old Man Li's voice came from the hall: "This one is much kinder." He Jianfei After hearing this, he walked into the main hall and saw Old Man Li looking up at the statue: "Although this statue is also carved with fangs, it is not as ferocious and terrifying as the one I saw before." He Jianfei looked at it carefully and shouted. : "It's really strange! This statue is dressed in earthly colors, and even the official belt is carved lifelike. Why is it carved to look like a devil?" Old Man Li couldn't figure it out, and said, "Maybe it's this Do people in this area worship evil gods?" He Jianfei sighed and said: "There are many famous evil gods in the divine world, but I can't recognize this one. I'm afraid he is not a righteous god." Old man Li asked: "Then what does this have to do with me? What does Qiang's death have to do with it?" He Jianfei said: "We haven't figured it out yet, but this area is indeed unusual. Something must have happened before the founding of the People's Republic of China. Besides, Senior Aqiang's home is very close to here, so it may be difficult for Aqiang. Seniors have had a lot of influence." They walked through several temples in a row, but they were all the same.
In addition to the different colors of their clothes, some are kitchen officials and some are mountain gods, but they all look fierce with angry brows and eyes.
Like a ghost in hell. He Jianfei found spider corpses one after another and was very confused, but he just didn't say it out loud.
Walking around and taking a look, He Jianfei saw all these dozen small temples without realizing it. Seeing that Old Man Li was tired, He Jianfei stopped to rest on a stone. Suddenly he remembered something and said with a smile: "By the way, Old Man Li, I've never seen the temple you mentioned with the words on the wall. Where is it?" Old Man Li then remembered it and wondered: "That's impossible. I've obviously been in it and I can see it clearly. ..." He Jianfei clapped his hands and said: "Then you must have gone far and left this open space, so we can't find it." Old man Li shook his head and said: "It's not possible. There is only such a small open space on the left and right. When I saw that terrifying statue, I was so scared that I ran out to the village. How could I still be in the mood to go further?" He Jianfei said disapprovingly: "There's no need to be nervous. It's almost dark now. We Let's go stay in the village for one night and ask the villagers who know about it. It won't be too late to come back tomorrow to check in detail. Since there is that scarlet letter, it shouldn't be difficult to find out." So the two of them got up and left. After walking a few steps, Old Man Li suddenly said: "Oops, I forgot the key on that stone." He Jianfei had to wait for him to go back to get it, but found that Old Man Li's whole body suddenly shook violently, and his voice became extremely trembling: "Then... that temple... is back... "He Jianfei was shocked when he heard this. When he quickly looked back, he saw a very dilapidated small temple where they had just rested. Sure enough, there was the red letter on the wall of the temple.
Old Man Li was so frightened that his hands and feet went cold: "Obviously... the place we were sitting just now was empty. There was nothing. How... how could there be an extra temple out of thin air?" He Jianfei looked at the temple intently, with red letters. Shrouded in fog, I couldn't see clearly what it was, but there was a faint ferocity that I had never seen before.
In the haze, He Jianfei seemed to feel that someone was waving to him in the temple, and he moved forward step by step involuntarily.
At this moment, the relic necklace on his chest suddenly emitted a golden light, shining directly at He Jianfei's temple.
He Jianfei was startled, and suddenly his color changed. It was too late, but soon, he took out a handful of gravel from his arms with his left hand, scattered it all over the sky to form the Seven-Star Big Dipper Formation, grabbed Old Man Li with his right hand and shouted: "Quick! ! Run!!!" The relic necklace suddenly glowed with golden light. He Jianfei knew that the evil energy was dangerous, so he secretly cried out, broke off the beads in his hand, and flicked them into the temple.
After such a delay, He Jianfei and Mr. Li finally escaped from the open space.
