The statue held a Fangtian painted halberd in its left hand, a three-pointed two-edged sword in its right hand, and in the middle of its chest there was actually a hand holding a turquoise evil ghost shield with a mouth full of fangs.
The appearance of the statue itself is also very frightening. It looks more like an evil ghost than a god or Buddha. It has a green face and fangs, and there are tall fins on its head, like a ghost incarnated by a strange fish.
But Li Yi recognized this monster and knew clearly that it was not an evil ghost. There were reasons for worshiping it in the temple. He even knew the reason for its appearance on the island.
This is a Yaksha statue.
Someone once recorded the legend about Yaksha.
It is said that there are yakshas in the sea, just like there are mandrills in the mountains. They are neither ghosts nor demons, but another category of their own, that is, a special animal between humans and animals. Liu Shi'an, a consultant, said: On the coast of Zhucheng County, there are people who build houses and fish. One day, everyone was out fishing in a boat. A Yaksha entered the house and secretly drank the fisherman's wine. After finishing a jar, he fell drunk to the ground. Yasha was caught by the returning fishermen, tied up, and beaten. He didn't show any signs of being supernatural at all, but he fell to the ground and died from fatigue.
This is one of the few legends about Yaksha that Li Yi has seen, but in his opinion, the descriptions in it are somewhat inaccurate.
A kind of alien that is neither human nor animal, neither a ghost nor a charm, can actually get drunk because of drinking and die directly after being beaten. This is too strange. Look at him, and then look at Li Xu, it is also considered He was an alien, and there was no reason why he would die immediately just because he was beaten by an ordinary person.
According to Li Yi's own understanding, it is very likely that the Haiyaksha just took off its body, and the real body had escaped long ago. However, for ordinary people, they could not see that scene at all, and naturally they would not expect it.
As for the Yaksha statue in the temple, it was most likely set up by the villagers to ensure a safe trip to the sea. Fishermen all know that if they encounter a Yaksha in the sea, not only will their warehouses be full of fish and shrimps, they will at least be able to return safely, so although It's strange to have a temple on the island, but if the temple enshrines Yaksha, it's not unusual at all.
In this case, logically speaking, this fishing village should not be abandoned. So what is the reason why this village is abandoned even if it is dedicated to Yasha?
With this question in mind, Li Yi searched the abandoned fishing village along the path at the entrance of the village.
It only took him about ten minutes to check every door of every house in this small village.
Just as he thought, he did not see even half a living person, and most of the houses showed no signs of being disturbed. All the items in the house were well placed, and traces of daily life could even be seen in some homes.
But the person disappeared.
As if in an instant, these people mysteriously disappeared without even having time to leave any traces.
A temple dedicated to Yaksha.
All the villagers in the fishing village disappeared overnight.
Suddenly the oil lamp that seemed to be guiding him came on.
There is also the mysterious person who made him come to the island unknowingly at what time and by what means, and the actions that seem to be threats, but in fact can be seen as asking for help.
Who is it?
Since you want to ask for help, why don't you show up openly? Are there any concerns? Or are you talking about some unavoidable reasons? Or is it just pretending, but in reality, no one is asking for help but you have the intention to do harm to others?
Li Yi decided to investigate this strange fishing village again.
As for the oil lamp that attracted him before, he made no other moves after that. He must have wanted to tell him that all the problems were hidden in this fishing village.
So with all kinds of questions, Li Yi picked up the oil lamp and embarked on the search again.
At this time, the sky had completely darkened. It seemed that during the time he was thinking, the entire island quickly passed through the dusk and entered the real night.
Squeak.
The door of the temple was opened again. The slight difference was that this time, even with the brightness of the oil lamp, Li Yi could not see clearly what the temple looked like during the day, but he could find other people in the darkness. s things.
Under the moonlight, on the treetops, there were nocturnal birds with round heads and wide eyes.
The night owl is a ferocious carnivorous bird, also known as an owl because its face looks like a domestic cat.
A deserted island.
Abandoned fishing village.
Desolate temple.
But it attracted a large number of night owls, which can't help but make people feel weird.
Yeah yeah!
Suddenly, a night owl screamed without warning, and then all the night owls screamed. The scream was so shrill that it made people stunned.
Hundreds of owl chirped together.
This sudden cry added a touch of weirdness to this already weird island.
Li Yi suddenly remembered another folk way of calling an owl.
The chorus of night owls is a sign of great misfortune.
This strange phenomenon adds an unspeakable grotesque color to this deserted island fishing village that is already full of weird colors.
A fishing village where everyone mysteriously disappeared.
A group of ominous birds gather here at night and make shrill cries.
Up to now, the mysteries surrounding Li Yi's heart have not diminished, but have become more and more numerous.
The most important thing is that so far, he has not been able to find key evidence related to this island.
Or it can be said that the supernatural beings on this small island have not actually revealed their truly weird side.
Just when Li Yi was thinking about whether he should do something to see if he could elicit the mysterious man who was suspected of asking for help or a supernatural phenomenon, an even more incredible scene soon appeared.
As the cries of night owls filled the sky, and the rustling sounds of falling soil were heard, the green-faced and fanged Yaksha statue enshrined in the temple actually started to move.
As if he saw that his cry was effective, as the soil covering the statue continued to shake off, the night owl's cry became louder.
Suddenly, the originally silent island turned into a shura field of howling ghosts and wolf howls. It was like awakening a sleeping demon, causing people to change their expressions.
All this was seen by Li Yi, who was hiding aside.
In fact, he didn't hide his figure at all, but he didn't seem to care much about his existence, whether he was a night owl or the "resurrected" Yasha statue.
Maybe to them, Li Yi is just an alien who looks very much like a human.
Of course, Li Yi was not too surprised. He originally entered this place by mistake just to find the supernatural phenomenon hidden in the plot. Naturally, he would not make a fuss because of the coming-to-life statues and the chirping of the ominous night owl.
He was just thinking about a question.
A question that cannot be answered even after witnessing this scene.
What is the intention of the person who seems to be asking me for help?
Did the other party deliberately let me see this scene?
Otherwise, why did he leave the oil lamp here? It seems that he deliberately asked me to wait here.
Also, why did it suddenly get dark when it was clearly still some time before dark?
Looking at the stars twinkling in the night sky, Li Yi's eyes also flickered, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
