The bell tower was not very high, only about three stories high. The two of them quickly reached the top.
A large bronze bell stands in the central part above the bell tower.
Judging from the traces of time remaining on it, this clock must be quite old.
On the high platform, only three people were seen.
They are Shen Weiwei, Shan Hong and Mei Wen.
Among them, Shan Hong was standing at the corner of the high platform, looking at the inside of the high-hanging bronze bell in amazement, while Shen Weiwei and Mei Wen were inside.
"Why are you still standing there, hurry up and save people!"
When Liu Chengfeng saw Shan Hong froze on the spot like a fool, he couldn't help but cursed.
He stepped forward and pulled the two girls out from inside the bell. Both Shen Weiwei and Mei Wen looked pale and trembled.
"What's wrong?"
"So scared?"
Shen Weiwei covered her neck with one hand and grabbed Liu Chengfeng's strong arm with the other hand, her eyes frightened.
"There's... there's a ghost!"
Liu Chengfeng's face froze when he heard this.
"Where is the ghost?"
Shen Weiwei:
"Zhongli!"
Liu Chengfeng glanced suspiciously at the inside of the giant clock and carefully poked his head in. However, he did not find anything hidden inside. Instead, he saw some scratches.
"Brother, come and take a look!"
He waved to Ning Qiushui outside, who also got in.
His eyes fell on the carvings, and Ning Qiushui touched them gently with her fingers.
"Run away..."
He murmured, and then a mysterious smile appeared.
"I see."
They lowered their bodies and exited the bronze bell.
"Tell me, Shen Weiwei, what exactly did you and Mei Wen go through in Zhongli just now?"
Shen Weiwei's lips trembled:
"Just now, Mei Wen discovered that there were inscriptions on the clock, but it was too dark and she couldn't see it clearly, so she asked me to go and have a look. I thought maybe I could see it, so I went in... But just as I and I While Wenwen was reading the words, a terrifying thing suddenly attacked us!"
When the two heard this, they immediately became interested.
"A scary thing? What a scary thing?"
Shen Weiwei shook her head.
"I didn't see it clearly. It bit my ear, and then attacked Wenwen's mouth. Fortunately, Wenwen just took out the ghost weapon and forced the scary thing away!"
Bite your ears first, then your mouth?
Shen Weiwei's narration made the two of them look a little strange.
Shen Weiwei seemed a little anxious because she was worried that the two of them didn't believe her.
"It's true. If you don't believe me, look at my ears!"
After speaking, she directly showed the wound behind her ear.
Ning Qiushui stepped forward to check and found that there was indeed a very deep tooth mark behind her ear.
Blood was still oozing out from the tooth marks.
Then Ning Qiushui checked Mei Wen's lips again.
"It seems that you were really attacked by something terrible..."
"Let's go, this place is not safe anymore."
The second goddess looked pale and nodded.
When leaving, Shan Hong passed by Ning Qiushui and wanted to say something to him, but after licking his lips, he left silently.
Watching them go away, Ning Qiushui turned around and found that Liu Chengfeng was still looking at the inscription inside the bell.
"Don't look at it, this word was just engraved on it."
The bearded man inside Zhong was startled.
"Brother, how do you know?"
Ning Qiushui:
"With this kind of wind and sun, and the fog and humidity in the mountains, the bell body is prone to rust. You can tell by the rust patches on the ground. They were left behind when the little monk struck the bell and vibrated it."
"If there are really any scratches inside, it will be corroded by rust very quickly, and it won't feel so clean and crisp to the touch."
When the bearded man heard this, a thoughtful look appeared on his face.
"And if nothing else goes wrong, the bite mark behind Shen Weiwei's ear should have been left by Mei Wen."
Liu Chengfeng's eyes widened.
"She bit Shen Weiwei, so how come there were scars on her mouth?"
Ning Qiushui was silent for a moment.
"I bit it myself."
"She probably carved some random words into the clock first, and then pretended to have discovered something to attract Shen Weiwei to the inside of the big clock, so that Shan Hong's sight was cut off."
"As for why she bit Shen Weiwei, I'm not sure."
"But when I checked her injuries, I touched their hands respectively. It was indeed the body temperature of a living person..."
There was a pause.
"And Shan Hong should have discovered something, but he didn't say anything. Maybe he's not sure."
"Those people have some secrets hidden in them."
Ning Qiushui stood on the high platform of the bell tower and looked around the temple, but there was still no one around.
"And this temple is really eerily empty. Not only are there no tourists, there are not even a few monks. The abbot who came out to greet us yesterday also mysteriously disappeared."
Liu Chengfeng tilted his mouth.
"That old bald man is not a good guy at first glance."
"When he came out to greet us yesterday, he smiled crookedly. His eyes were like those of a wolf that had been hungry for a long time and suddenly saw meat..."
"Hey, isn't that the little monk...what is he doing?"
The bearded man was complaining, and his eyes suddenly glanced at a figure in the distance, and found that it was the little monk named Fahua. His steps were a little panicked, as if he was looking for something...
"Go over and have a look!"
Without hesitation, the two men immediately ran to the area where the young monk was and bumped into him.
"Little monk, what are you looking for?"
Lotus looked ugly.
"...gone."
"What's missing?"
"The skinless body is gone!"
