It was as if everything that had happened last night had been an illusion. Everything was just a figment of our imagination.
I couldn't help but become a little nervous. Along the way, I kept a vigilant eye on the dark surroundings. It was as though I was afraid that someone would jump out from a corner.
Fortunately, we were able to reach the entrance of the godly temple safely. The door was locked by a broken lock, and the moment we opened the door, He Ling, who was inside, couldn't help but pounce on us and cry.
"It's so dark here. I've been here alone all night. It's so scary!" He Ling's face was wet from her tears. Her eyes were filled with deep fear.
Unfortunately, he met Feng Ming who did not care for the fairer sex and mockingly said, "You are the safest one in this temple, alright? "None of those things dared to go in, because there's a Buddha statue here. We all slept in the haunted house for the whole night."
"Then are you guys okay?" He Ling was frightened by Feng Ming's words and started to look at us suspiciously.
I felt it was funny, but I didn't know how to comfort her. The right judgement was to rely on myself to trust her the most.
Feng Ming didn't have any intention of continuing and directly said, "We are going to look for something. If you don't want to, then stay inside the temple. You can come out in the day, but you definitely can't come out at night! Do you understand? "
He Ling swallowed her saliva in fright. "I, I want to go with you guys. I'll be back tonight, I believe you guys."
Feng Ming shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly, then led us around while still holding that small compass. That compass looked like a compass, but the words on it were completely incomprehensible. Occasionally, he would point at it and scold us angrily.
The weird thing was that after cursing for a while, it mysteriously stopped just like that.
Causing He Ling and I to frequently look over, we felt that it was very fun.
The compass led us through the streets and alleys and stopped in a wide courtyard. In the middle of it was a strange plate made of stone. The picture on the board looked very exquisite, but upon closer inspection, we discovered that it was actually a step or even a story.
It was obvious that the girls were more curious about the pictures. He Ling and I looked at each other and quickly finished looking at the pictures.
He Ling's face was pale. She was obviously frightened. "Sister Bai, this is all from the past. Who in this society would believe this?"
I smiled helplessly. The bloodstains on the disc weren't something that had been left behind for a long time. It should have at least been around a year!
Feng Ming, on the other hand, did not have the slightest bit of comprehension towards these diagrams. Why can't I understand it!? "
I pointed to the first picture and showed it to him. "This is to say that there are actually two gods in this place. One of them is sealed, and the other is worshipped.
"In the second picture, a large number of people suddenly died, but after dying, they did not get any peace. Everyone felt that someone provoked the gods, and under the finger prints of the gods, they decided to compensate the gods."
"The villagers were unwilling to sacrifice their loved ones in the beginning, so they could only choose outsiders to perform the sacrificial ceremony. The first woman was thrown into the disk, and the God took her away in exchange for a year of peace."
"The fourth picture, year after year, repeated like this, God not only protected them, he even started bringing immortality to them, he even started not getting sick, and human nature became greedy. People cheered and laughed, and behind him was the red disc."
"The fifth picture should have been drawn recently. There's a beautiful woman painted on it, with a faint smile on her face. Don't you feel that when you're looking at her, she's also looking at you?"
I stared at the woman, at her beautiful body, and I felt a kind of fear come over me.
"Sister Bai!" The cry of the phoenix suddenly screamed out, pulling me back from the fear of the abyss.
I looked at him with some understanding and didn't understand what was going on. He directly grabbed my hand and searched through my meridians. After pressing down on it, a wave of pain came. I instantly became more clear-headed.
"What's going on?"
Feng Ming sighed and said, "Sister Bai, your empathy is really too great. I can only look at this design. I really admire it!"
Even though he was teasing me, I could feel his concern.
He Ling also read on the side, "Sister Bai, you don't know what happened to you just now. It was really scary. You were still talking about that woman. It was like I saw her at that moment."
I forcefully smiled. I still couldn't accept the fact that I had such a physique.
"It's alright, let's look for clues!"
Seeing that I was fine, Feng Ming let out a breath of relief. He then leaped up and jumped on top of the disc. There was at least two meters of height. It was very difficult for He Ling and I to climb up, so we could only wait for the phoenix cry to subside.
Just as I was waiting, I suddenly heard a mournful cry. It was a bit far but close. I was afraid that it was due to my imagination. I felt like turning around to ask He Ling.
He Ling's expression of wanting to cry or not told me everything. It wasn't something that I could hear!
"Sister Bai, what's that sound?"
I didn't have the heart to scare a child, so I casually said, "It might be a cave. You should know that in some places, because they are too poor, they can't build a house, so they live in caves in the mountain. The longer they live, the deeper the caves will be.
Even I myself believe that there is evidence to be drawn from this statement.
However, He Ling looked at me with a wry smile. "Sister Bai, do the caves need men, women, and children to be separated?"
I was startled, and immediately heard the cries of both men and women, mixed with the cries of infants. The three sounds, mixed together, gave off a strange feeling that I couldn't put my finger on it.
He didn't know what to do, but Feng Ming suddenly jumped down. With a serious expression, he said, "Let's leave this place first, then we'll go find something."
He Ling and I were eager to leave immediately, so we quickly walked to the front. That crying sound was also weird. After Feng Ming spoke, it actually disappeared without a trace.
Could it be that this person only knew how to look at people, and only knew how to bully weak people like us?
Originally, we thought that the next location would be the housing area. However, we didn't expect Feng Ming to bring us directly to the back of the mountain. Not a single blade of grass grew on it.
