Chapter 144 The Snake Village
When I looked away, Chu Yuan had already stepped into the temple, and I quickly followed, but as soon as I entered the door, the feeling of being peeped appeared again instantly.

At a glance, I saw a statue of the Dragon King with a weird shape enshrined in the temple.

"Chu Yuan!"

Seeing that Chu Yuan's pitch-black eyes were fixed on the statue without saying a word for a long time, I couldn't help calling out.

Although I deliberately lowered my voice, my voice seemed to be transmitted far away in this dead space, and the echo felt like someone shouted strangely in my ear again.

Entering here, the eerie feeling of being spied on is very strong.

Just looking at it, I felt a little cool around my temples, and something cold floated to the side of my face.

There are many banners hanging in the Dragon King Temple. I don't know what they are for, so I just pulled them around the temple.

I felt something slippery and sticky all at once, and it immediately rolled up in my hand and wrapped around my fingers, scaring me to withdraw my hand quickly.

I saw a colorful little snake wrapped around my finger.

The little snake was only about a foot long, with a round head, slightly protruding forehead, and a short thick tail. It looked a bit weird.

It moved slowly around my fingers, and there was an inexplicable expression in its snake eyes, and it bared its teeth at me.

I was so frightened that I kept shaking my hands, but the little snake was still sticky around my finger, and I couldn't shake it off!

Chu Yuan turned his head at this time, his eyes changed slightly when he saw the little snake in my hand, but he reacted quickly, walked over and reached out to take the little snake down.

The little snake was grinning at me just now, but after being held by Chu Yuan, its head was tilted to one side, and it was still swimming around in his hand without biting him.

"Why are there snakes in this temple?"

I was so frightened that my whole body went numb. In fact, I was still terrified of snakes.

"Probably because of this temple!"

Chu Yuan let the snake go, squinted his eyes with doubts, and looked around.

I was afraid that another snake would crawl on my head along the banner hanging above my head, so I stepped back outside the temple gate while looking around.

"do not move!"

Chu Yuan seemed to have seen something, suddenly appeared in front of me like a ghost, then stretched out his hand towards me, lifted it up and retracted it.

In his hand, a small snake that was the same size as the one that was wrapped around my hand just now was wrapped around his palm.

The little snake seemed to have just hatched, the snake was still covered with half-dried mucus, its eyes were half-open, and it was spitting out snake letters.

He raised his eyes to look at the eaves above, followed his gaze, and saw that there were many snakes on the dim eaves, with their heads half-protruded, as if they were about to fall down from under the eaves.

I was so scared that my scalp went numb, but Chu Yuan narrowed his eyes and said, "How do these snakes feel, they seem to be looking for you!"

I got goosebumps all over my body when I heard it, but Chu Yuan said involuntarily, "Go into the temple!"

After finishing speaking, he turned and pulled me into the Dragon King Temple, and turned and closed the door.

Even if it is daytime, there is no light inside. When the temple gate is closed, it will be dark inside.

And I always feel that there are many eyes lurking in the dark looking at us.

"Chu Yuan!" I called again softly.

"Don't talk yet!"

Chu Yuan stood behind me, told me not to speak, and covered my mouth with his hand.

His fingers pinched my face, and his palms covered my lips, as if I was kissing his hand.

I struggled slightly out of habit, but Chu Yuan said softly, "Close your eyes."

I can't figure out what kind of routine he is doing. In this kind of place, if you close your eyes, what is he doing?

I looked at him with wide eyes full of doubts.

"obedient!"

Chu Yuan's voice sounded again, this time there was an indescribable gentleness, and those deep eyes were so clear that they could see people.

Although I don't know if he has some crooked ideas, but I have an inexplicable sense of trust in his words, and slowly close my eyes.

I don't know what kind of magic he cast, when I closed my eyes, suddenly a gust of wind blew in this empty temple.

The wind blew past me in a flickering manner, then circled upwards, and gradually danced around the beams like fireflies.

There are many candles on the wall of the Snake Temple, which are lit one by one as if they were called.

The faint light reflected the entire empty temple like a ghost land.

Chu Yuan's voice rang in my ears, "Okay!"

When I opened my eyes, I saw that Chu Yuan was holding a few paper-cut figures in his hands, and placed them in the four corners of the temple.

"What are you doing?" I followed him and asked in a low voice behind him.

Chu Yuan knelt down and said without turning his head: "Set up a small formation to prevent some things from seeing the situation in the temple. Of course, if conditions permit, the red dragon is the best choice."

I nodded half understanding, paused, and asked again: "What is the red dragon you mentioned just now? Is it a snake?"

He glanced at me with a strange face: "The red dragon is what a woman's menstrual blood sticks to the menstrual belt!"

"Uh……"

Three black lines appeared on my forehead, I was somewhat embarrassed, my face was blushing and I was speechless.

In order to ease the embarrassment, I could only leave him as if nothing had happened, and look around with a flashlight.

But when I was sweeping the ground, I paused, and squatted down to take a closer look.

"I found something!" I happily said to Chu Yuan.

"What?" He leaned over and stood beside me.

"There are footprints on the ground." I shot the flashlight flat on the ground, pointing to the footprints on a layer of dust.

The footprints are very shallow, and if you don't look carefully, you can't find them at all.

Chu Yuan looked at the ground with slightly narrowed pupils, pondered for a moment, but shook his head and said, "This is not a footprint."

However, at this moment, a monstrous wind blew from nowhere in the temple, and the banners hanging in the temple swayed wildly, and the dust on the ground was also scattered in all directions.

I quickly covered my mouth and nose with my hands, complaining in my heart that the wind was blowing at the wrong time,
Fortunately, it only blew for a while, and then suddenly disappeared.

When I looked at the ground with a flashlight, there were no footprints anywhere.

Just when I was feeling speechless, I unexpectedly discovered that there were some carvings on the bluestone slab on the ground, like a painting.

Frowning, I moved closer and wiped the bluestone slab twice with my hand, and the shallow scratches on the slate became clearer.

"Look!" I discovered the secret, and excitedly pointed to the marks on the slate.

However, Chu Yuan had already looked at the stone slab, watching calmly.

I changed two different angles, but the painting above is weird, and I can't see why.

Seeing Chu Yuan looking engrossed, I couldn't help but whispered for a long time, "Tell me, what is this painting?"
