Wen Sengyu told Ji Qianqian and the others what had just happened, and then the three of them fell into deep thought.
Before seeing the terrestris on the tree just now, Wen Sengyu always thought that the other terrestris was just one of the infinite loops, just like the countless selves in the room at that time, but the terrestris just now was obviously not a human being. Thinking of it, Wen Sengyu seemed to understand something again here.
"Where's the smell coming from?" Ji Qianqian said suddenly while thinking.
Wen Sengyu subconsciously felt the wetness with his lower body. "Fuck! Sure enough, I peed."
"You smelled it wrong, why didn't I smell it?" Lin Qianxi took a deep breath.
"I didn't smell it either. Let's go first to the ancient temple." Wen Sengyu quickly changed the subject.
Then the three of them got up and walked towards the ancient temple. On the way, Wen Sengyu took off his urine-stained underwear and threw it aside as an excuse to vomit. Fortunately, it didn't get into his pants.
After arriving at the ancient temple, Wen Sengyu found that everyone was in a very low mood. Brother Shuo sat on the ground and looked up at them and said feebly: "You are here."
Then he stood up slowly and said, "Everyone is here, let's go in and take a look."
The remaining people all tacitly agreed not to mention what had just happened, and no one even looked in the direction of the giant tree for fear of seeing a familiar face.
Wen Sengyu looked at the ancient temple in front of him. It was a very simple temple. There were two stone lions standing in front of the door. The four steps at the door led directly into the temple. The ancient temple is entirely red in color, with exquisite paintings carved on the joints between the pillars and the roof. There are some green weeds growing above the gray bricks on the roof. Such an ancient temple seems out of place in this world because it is too normal and does not seem to be a product of this world.
Walking into the temple, the statue of a bird-headed human figure in the center comes into view. The statue's eyes are closed, the feathers on its face are very realistic, and its pointed mouth is slightly open, as if it is conveying some thoughts. The body of the statue is twisted 180 degrees, holding a bow and arrow in its hand, with the bow string slightly stretched, making a shooting posture.
Dark Night God, these big words are clearly written on the plaque hanging above the statue.
"Why does the posture of this statue look so like the quinoa on the tree? Is there any connection between them?" Wen Sengyu thought to himself.
"Dark Night God, does he have anything to do with Dark Night Bird?" Lin Qianxi said.
"I don't know. His body has the head of a bird. Could it be that he is the night bird we are looking for?" Brother Shuo said.
Wen Sengyu saw Ji Qianqian walking around in the hall, seemingly looking for some useful clues, so he walked over and asked, "Did you find anything?"
Ji Qianqian shook her head and said, "Not yet, but don't you think this hall is a bit strange?"
"Well, there is nothing except the statue, as if it had been looted." Wen Sengyu said.
"Yeah, and the ground here is very clean. It seems that someone has been cleaning it. Brother Sengyu, I'm afraid." Ji Qianqian put on that itchy little expression again.
Wen Sengyu observed the ground carefully. In addition to being clean, he also discovered a detail. There were several bricks on the ground that were painted later. Just as he was about to squat down and touch the bricks, a strange voice came from the door of the ancient temple.
"Are you tourists here to burn incense and pray for blessings?" An old monk wearing cassocks walked in from the temple door.
"Who the hell are you?" Brother Shuo asked.
"I am the abbot of this temple, Jingye." Jingye replied.
Ji Qianqian on the side suddenly laughed.
"What's wrong, this female donor?" Jingye looked at Ji Qianqian.
Ji Qianqian calmed down and said, "It's okay, Master Jingye, I'm just happy to see humans here. Do you know the Night Bird?"
Jingye looked at Dark Night God with his hands clasped together and said, "Of course I know, that is our sacred bird and our belief."
Everyone looked at Jingye, and then Ji Qianqian asked: "Then do you know where to find it?"
Hahahahahaha, Jingye suddenly laughed: "Find it? He is in each of our hearts."
Everyone was puzzled.
"It's getting late, all donors, please come back tomorrow." Jingye left the ancient temple after saying that.
Wen Sengyu was about to chase him out, but when he arrived at the door, he found that he had disappeared.
"There's no need to chase him. You can't find the NPC when he doesn't want to show up." Shuo Ge said.
"What should we do next?" someone in the crowd asked Brother Shuo.
"Let's rest here for one night first." Brother Shuo said.
"I don't think it's safe here. Let's go to a tree hole to rest." Wen Sengyu said.
At this time, Ji Qianqian on the side also echoed: "Brother Wenhao is right. Now we are not sure whether there is any danger here. Let's go back to the tree first. This is so eerie and scary."
Everyone nodded, then each found a nearby tree and climbed up.
In the dead of night, after Wen Sengyu confirmed that there was no danger around him, he secretly climbed down from the tree and walked into the ancient temple alone. Due to high mental stress, he did not notice the subtle changes in the color of the ancient temple's outer wall.
Wen Sengyu's goal was very clear. He wanted to carefully investigate the strange floor tiles. After entering the hall, he walked straight to the location of the strange floor tiles, without paying any attention to the imminent danger.
"The color of the floor tiles here is indeed different from other places." Wen Sengyu touched the floor tiles with his hands and then knocked on them, hearing a hollow echo.
"Is it empty down here?" Wen Sengyu thought to himself.
At this moment, a bow and arrow quickly approached his heart. Just when Wen Sengyu wanted to continue studying the secrets of the floor tiles, he suddenly felt his body lose its center of gravity and was kicked away, flying far away. At the same time, a bow and arrow made of stone shot through the stone bricks on the ground, making a crisp sound.
"Qianqian?" Wen Sengyu reacted and saw Ji Qianqian standing next to him nervously.
"Pay attention to the bow and arrow in the hand of the statue!" Ji Qianqian shouted immediately without giving Wen Sengyu a chance to breathe.
Only then did Wen Sengyu notice that the bow and arrow in the hand of the statue was aimed at him, and then he turned around and stood up.
Different from when he first arrived, the statue's body had been completely turned around to keep in the same direction as its face. A pair of bird's eyes were staring at him sharply, making Wen Sengyu's hair grow all over his body. The next second he found that he could no longer move. The bow in the hand of the statue was drawn again, and the arrow was aimed at the heart.
"Don't look into his eyes!" Ji Qianqian shouted from the side.
Wen Sengyu quickly moved his eyes elsewhere. Only then could he move his body again and run out of the aiming range of the bow and arrow. With a whoosh, the second arrow was shot out and penetrated the floor tile again.
At this time, Ji Qianqian had already ran to Wen Sengyu and pulled off his clothes with force.
"What are you doing?" Wen Sengyu struggled to say.
"Take off your clothes quickly and give them to me!" Ji Qianqian said anxiously.
After tearing off Wen Sengyu's clothes, Ji Qianqian threw the clothes into the air with force, and it just landed on the head of the statue, covering its eyes.
With his eyes blocked, the statue slowly twisted its body and resumed its previous posture.
Wen Sengyu, who was still in shock, looked at Ji Qianqian again and said, "What's going on?"
Ji Qianqian wiped the sweat from his forehead and said: "I just noticed outside the temple that the color of the outer wall of the ancient temple has become darker, from pure red to deep red. At first I thought it was a visual difference caused by the darkening sky, but after careful attention After observation, I found that there was something like blood flowing slowly on the wall. Just when I wanted to investigate further, I saw you walking in from the door. So I secretly observed you outside the door and found that the eyes of the statue had been looking at you. Looking at you, he slowly pulled up the bow and arrow in his hand, and then he quickly ran in and kicked you away."
"How do you know to cover the eyes of the statue?" Wen Sengyu asked again.
"How do you know? I'm just guessing." Ji Qianqian replied. "So what do you want to do when you sneak in?"
Wen Sengyu: "I just noticed that the color of some floor tiles in the main hall was different from usual. I wanted to come and see what was going on, and then the scene just happened."
Ji Qianqian thought for a while and said, "It seems you still don't believe me."
"It's not that I don't believe you, I just want to tell you after I have the results of the investigation." After saying this, Wen Sengyu fell silent.
"Do you know how dangerous it is to act alone in the realm of reincarnation!?" Ji Qianqian sounded a little excited, but immediately calmed down. "Forget it, let's take a look at the floor tiles you mentioned first."
Then the two walked to the floor tiles and observed them carefully.
"Listen here." Wen Sengyu knocked on the floor tiles with his hand. "Is the sound different from other places?"
"Hmm, it seems empty down here." Ji Qianqian also noticed the difference.
"Let's see if there's anywhere we can open." Wen Sengyu said.
The two groped around and found no traces that could be opened, so Wen Sengyu suggested using an ax to split the place open. After saying this, Ji Qianqian went outside to bring the ax in, but the two of them tried their best to open it. Failed to split the floor tiles.
"Did we think wrong? There is nothing down here." Wen Sengyu said.
The two fell into silence for a while, sitting on the ground to regain their strength.
Suddenly they looked at the ground next to them and said in unison: "Bows and arrows!"
The bow and arrow shot by the statue to the ground easily penetrated the ground. Wen Sengyu and Ji Qianqian both discovered this phenomenon.
Wen Sengyu hurriedly ran to the side and pulled out the bow and arrow on the ground. The moment he pulled it out, the ground returned to its previous cleanliness, and the broken stones were reassembled as if going back in time.
The two looked at each other, and then Wen Sengyu inserted his bow and arrow into the abnormal floor tile.
He only felt that the moment the arrow touched the ground was effortless, it was as easy as if he took a burning red iron and inserted it into tofu. He saw the floor tiles in front of him explode the moment they touched the ground, creating a gap just big enough for one person to pass through. space.
"Is there a tunnel?" Ji Qianqian said.
"Well, let me go in and take a look first. You wait for me up there." After saying that, Wen Sengyu stepped into the tunnel first.
