Chapter 100: Serving as a god
The two chatted as they walked, and they arrived at the old patriarch's house not long after.

The location of the old patriarch's house is relatively remote, located in the southeast of the ancient city.

There are earth buildings blocking the southeast, north and west here, and you have to go through a long and narrow alley to go further.

Although it is surrounded by other buildings, it does not affect the lighting.

Because this is a single two-story earthen building, there are four households in one building. Outside the building is a small courtyard surrounded by stone fences, which occupies a large area and is very spacious.

The entrance of the small courtyard is colorful upturned eaves. In the center of the small courtyard stands a porcelain-white pagoda, with colorful flags hanging from the four corners of the pagoda, fluttering in the wind.

When I came to the courtyard, there was some faint light, the source of which was some yellowed kerosene lamps.

These kerosene lamps were hung on the rain deck at the entrance of the corridor, and all kinds of overturned insect corpses were piled on the base of the kerosene lamp, which looked a little disgusting.

Li Tianque noticed that the exterior wall of a family on the left side of this single earthen building was painted with colorful oil paints, and there seemed to be some colorful square patterns on it.

Li Tianque immediately turned on the flashlight of the mobile phone and shone on the outer wall of the house.

The oil paint on the outer wall is of all colors, a bit like street graffiti.

But the overall composition here is more simple and solemn, and most of the colors used are light tones, while the square patterns above are mainly blue, green, and black, with different shapes.

Some resemble caterpillars, others resemble moths, and others resemble beetles.

Insects again...

Li Tianque felt a little puzzled, and took a closer look, and confirmed again that the patterns on it were indeed bugs.

In the very center of these patterns sits a bug monster wearing a scarlet embroidered robe.

The worm sat cross-legged, with a bright red cushion under it.

Looking from a distance, the posture of this worm monster is like an eminent monk sitting on a lotus flower, and his expression seems to be quite majestic.

Under its blood-red cushions, there are black and white intertwined birds. These birds have rusty steel rings on their necks and broken feathers on their wings. They look a little weird.

"The patterns on the wall seem to be bugs... The old patriarch likes bugs?" Li Tianque asked puzzled.

"Of course not. The old patriarch's wife died of insect cancer. He hated insects the most in his life. How could he draw insect totems on the outer wall?
This room is the residence of Grandma Dolma. This old lady is a strange wizard, and the god she believes in is a kind of bug. "Liang Zhichao explained.

"Grandma Zhuoma..." Li Tianque repeated, and the hunchback old lady in a long animal skin dress that he had seen before immediately appeared in his mind.

"That's right... You see, these two people are really interesting. One hates bugs and the other believes in bugs, but they live in the same building, and they are both respected elders in the village." Liang Zhichao murmured.

Li Tianque was a little surprised by this news, and couldn't help asking:
"Then the two of them are relatives?"

"Well, there are three major tribes in Urkolo Township, the eagle tribe, the wolf tribe and the monkey tribe.

There are many clans in the Ministry, and they have their own pastoral areas and living areas. They usually live in the same building or adjacent buildings with the clan. Grandma Zhuoma and the old patriarch both belong to the Wolf Department, and they belong to the same clan. but……

Because of some differences, the two have not spoken for a long time. "

"It seems really stubborn..."

Li Tianque sighed and continued to observe the oil paintings on the wall.

At this moment, Li Tianque felt a strange thing suddenly caught in the dark place in the corner of his flashlight.

Li Tianque immediately shone the flashlight in that direction, this photo didn't matter, it actually showed a strange black face!

This strange dark face was expressionless, looking in the direction where Li Tianque and Liang Zhichao were.

The strange face looked extraordinarily black where the flashlight couldn't reach, and the gully on the face seemed to present a distorted and ferocious portrait.

However, the strange face just flashed past, and when the light of the flashlight was fully focused in that direction, the black face disappeared quickly.

At the moment when the black face appeared and disappeared, Li Tianque managed to capture the general appearance of the face with the help of the flashlight.

The face was horribly smooth, like an old African man smeared with grease.

His eyes were also shining with light, and the corner of his mouth was split into an incredible arc, as if he was laughing wildly, or like a beast that wanted to devour people.

"My God, what the hell is that?" Liang Zhichao naturally saw that terrifying face, and couldn't help exclaiming.

"I don't know, go up and have a look!" Li Tianque said, and rushed into the corridor quickly.

That strange face really didn't look like a human face, which made people feel horrified, and the two couldn't help worrying whether Grandma Dolma might encounter any danger.

Li Tianque and Liang Zhichao rushed into the corridor in a hurry, Li Tianque almost stepped on Liang Zhichao's heels in the darkness.

But just when the two of them entered the corridor with their front feet, there was a clear thud behind them at the same time, as if something had fallen from a high place.

The place where this thing fell should be the window on the other side, which is opposite to the two of them.

Judging from the sound, the fallen object should have landed on the street by now.

The two were not in the mood to wonder what had fallen, and they didn't go to the old patriarch's house. Instead, they immediately came to the door of Grandma Zhuoma's house on the second floor and smashed the door frantically.

"Open the door! Grandma Dolma, open the door!"

Liang Zhichao shouted eagerly into the room.

When knocking on the door, a string of copper bells hanging on the door curtain made a crisp sound.

This brisk voice might sound demure and relaxed in normal times, but in this situation it sounds very weird first.

There was no response to the two knocking on the door, and Liang Zhichao was about to knock on the door.

Li Tianque immediately stopped him and said:
"No, Grandma Zhuoma is old. If we are wrong, if we force our way in in the middle of the night, we will give the old grandma a heart attack!"

"Then what should we do? The guy was in the room just now, and you heard the sound, maybe it has jumped down now. It would be fine if it jumped down, but if the sound is..." Liang Zhichao said nervously.

In fact, even if Liang Zhichao didn't finish the next sentence, Li Tianque naturally knew what he was worried about:
If the sound heard in the corridor just now came from Grandma Dolma, it is very likely that the old wizard has been pushed out of the window by the monster in the room.

Possibly even dead.

"Well, hurry up and take a look at the other side of the street, I have a way to get in here." Li Tianque said.

Liang Zhichao hesitated for a moment, although he was still a little uneasy, he still agreed to Li Tianque's suggestion.

So, Liang Zhichao rushed out of the corridor and went to another street where the voice came from just now.

After Li Tianque saw that Liang Zhichao had left, he had no scruples.

He pressed his hand on the hinge of the door, and then slowly injected black cancer cells into the gap.

The black organization bypassed the hinge, entered the room, and then found the door lock.

"pat..."

The door lock was unlocked, and Li Tianque quickly entered the room.

There is a faint pink light in the room, and the smoke is floating in the room, and the sound of butterflies flapping their wings is constantly heard in the room.

As soon as he entered the door, Li Tianque immediately smelled a strange fragrance.

The aroma was so strong that Li Tianque was worried that he would be poisoned, so he immediately blocked his nostrils temporarily with the black tissue that spread from his body.

Grandma Zhuoma’s room is filled with various crafts related to insects. The colors of these crafts are all very bright and the workmanship is exquisite, which makes people have to admire the level of the author.

After passing through the door curtain, Li Tianque immediately came to the room where he saw the strange face just now.

This is also where the pink light source is. When Li Tianque saw the pink light source, he couldn't help being stunned.

What he never expected was that what appeared in front of him turned out to be a huge beetle.

The shape of this beetle does not seem to be any different from the velvet tiger beetle caught by Li Tianque, but its size is astonishingly large, with a diameter of at least 30 centimeters, and it looks like a large black beetle. watermelon.

The giant black beetle was kept in a long glass aquarium filled with sand and blades of grass and some fresh lamb.

There are two thin tubes inserted in the carapace gap and abdomen of the black beetle, and a plastic bag similar to plant nutrient solution is connected to the end of the thin tube.

Li Tianque noticed that the forefeet of the black beetle was still moving slightly, it seemed that it was still alive, and there were incense candles and fruits enshrined under it, this guy was actually enshrined by Grandma Dolma as a god!
