The beams next to it are just white, which looks weird, but there are obviously too many here...
The beams were not wood at all, but pale bones, as if they were strung together by spines!
Looking inside the River Temple, one can see a stone statue, which has been damaged and fallen off in many places due to its age.
The overall proportions of the statue make the river god look very small.
The bald head, the eye sockets occupying one third of the face, and the bridge of the nose are short and flat.
No matter how I look at it, I feel like, why does this river god look so much like a water ghoul?
For a moment, my head was buzzing.
I stared at the stone statue of the River God.
This incident completely overturned my understanding of the rules and teachings my father taught me.
Although when I saw the River Lady, I had already made up my mind that I would never worship the River God again.
But I never thought that the river god worshiped by him would look so much like a water ghoul...
If this told me that it was not a water ghoul, I would find it difficult to believe it.
Besides, wouldn’t the corpse fishermen and the water ghoul always fight to the death when they see each other?
Then why does the river god worshiped by the villagers look like a water ghoul?
For a moment, my face turned livid.
The paper man Xu placed Zhou Zi on the ground, and he went straight into the River Temple.
I stood there for a long time before following him in.
The paper man Xu was looking for something in the temple, while I walked to the stone statue of the river god.
The closer I get, the more I feel that this river god and water ghoul are exactly the same...
My face became even more ugly because of this, and my eyebrows became even more depressed.
Not long after, the paper man Xu came to me again. He had doubts in his eyes and asked: "Yin Yang, you look like this, what's wrong with this river god?" The paper man Xu is a paper maker after all, so he doesn't know how to fish out corpses. The relationship between humans and water ghouls.
I told the story again in a hoarse voice.
The paper man Xu Cai was thoughtful, and he suddenly said: "Come and take a look inside."
I was stunned and didn't understand what the paper man Xu meant.
He walked past me and came to the back of the stone statue.
After I followed him, I felt depressed and even more surprised.
There are partition-like stone slabs on both sides behind the stone statue. In the shadow behind the stone slab, there are actually other stone statues...
Their overall height is similar to the stone statue of the river god in front of the water ghoul.
And they have different shapes, some are coiled snakes, ferocious-looking turtles, and even a strange-shaped fish...
"There is more than one river god." The paper man Xu shook his head. He paused for a moment and continued: "The villagers are stupid. If there are foreign objects in the water that cause trouble, they will be enshrined."
"The village where I live regards mountain ghosts as mountain gods and worships virgins every year. At that time, I had no awe for that thing, only fear."
"It seems that the same is true for this river god. It's just that there seem to be a lot of vicious creatures in the water." Paperman Xu's voice was full of complexity.
I was also stunned, because what the paper man said made sense.
I pursed my lower lip and frowned even more.
"The corpse collector, don't you know this truth?" I murmured in a low voice, because I still couldn't understand. If this is the case, then the corpse collector still wants to offer sacrifices to the river god. What else should he worship?
The paper man Xu shook his head and said: "When you go to the countryside, you should follow the local customs. The things offered by the corpse collectors may be used by the most vicious person in the river. After all, corpse harvesting is for the convenience of others. If it is really harmonious, The river god fights to the death. There are many ferocious creatures in this river, and those who can fish out corpses may not have enough."
"Besides, not every corpse collector is so powerful that he can despise everything in the water. Corpse collectors in more places still pray for the safety of corpses." At this point, the paper man Xu even patted me. shoulders.
I remained silent.
Because I agree with what the paper man said.
The paper man Xu continued walking towards the depths of the River Temple.
The light there was dimmer, making it impossible to see clearly.
But after waiting for a while, the paper man Xu came back. What shocked me even more was that the paper man Xu was dragging a corpse...
The corpse was dressed in dirty gray clothes, like a soldier's uniform, and had a large wound on his neck.
"It seems that he found the opportunity to kill a militiaman to get the gun, and sent him back to the village. Forget it. Don't worry too much about the river god. Since it is a vicious thing in the water, you don't have it either. There is a need for reverence." The paper man Xu persuaded me again.
I nodded, and now my mind relaxed a little.
Finally, I carefully inspected the River Temple with Paperman Xu.
In fact, I also want to find some clues about the hag.
The hag is a group, not just one person, but this week there is a ghost talisman of the hag.
He must have had something to do with the hag at one level or another.
But in the end, I found nothing.
Did Zhou Zi really get that talisman by chance?
After searching all over, I found nothing, so I didn’t waste any more time. I followed Xu, the paper man, and took Zhou Jie back to Miaojia Village.
Originally, we planned to take the militia body back with us.
But then I rejected it again.
The reason is simple. When I was studying art in Dixianglu, I also asked Jiang Yihong some things about ghost women opening vaginas.
Jiang Yihong told me some reasons.
When the dead take to the road, most of the corpses are not evil, so there will be lonely ghosts on the road, looking for a skin to borrow the body to resurrect the soul.
The witch's way of opening the vagina is to put an end to the cholera of these things.
And when the corpse is vicious enough, there is no need to open a vagina.
No ghost would dare approach a corpse that was vicious enough, and even if the person leading the way was vicious enough, there would be no need for a ghost woman.
As for the person being unlucky, it could be that there is a lot of blood on the hands, or it could be the fate being unlucky, both of which have the same effect.
We took Miao Guangyang's wife to bury her. She was a woman who had suffered a terrible disaster. Who dared to borrow her body to bring her back to life?
This militia is different. They might be sneaky and cause us trouble again.
In the blink of an eye, we have returned to Miaojia Village.
After entering the village, the paper man promised me not to go back to Miao's house, but to wake up a few villagers and ask them to detain Zhou Ju first, so that we could get rid of this matter.
Zhiren Xu’s words make sense, otherwise I would be afraid that something might happen to Mr. Miao.
He was waiting outside, and I entered the village alone.
When I arrived at the nearest courtyard door, I knocked hard on the courtyard door and woke up a family of villagers.
Coincidentally, this villager turned out to be a Miaozhuang family!
I told Miaozhuang that Zhou Zi was caught by us and would be handed over to the village. Miaozhuang's eyes turned red at that time.
He didn't even bother to put on his clothes. He just picked up a gong at home and said he was going to call someone.
And after I saw the gong, my whole body froze again.
Because I thought about the watchman again...
It's been so long since I came out. I wonder if the watchman has gone to find He Zhi in trouble?
I frowned, and my heart palpitated.
I just completed the trial given to me by Jiang Yihong. I have just completed the first burial mountain. The second burial water and the three-point house will definitely take a long time...
If I go to find He Pheasant and don't go into Jiuhe County but take a detour to Hejia Village, shouldn't it be considered a violation of the teacher's teachings?
