There is a starving ghost in Qingyun Temple

Chapter 5 Lock Longjing 05
The mouth of this well is deep and bottomless, and the iron chains that have not seen the light of day for many years are rusty and fishy, ​​sticky and black. The further you go down, the smell of rust mixed with cattails becomes stronger and stronger, making you choke. People are disgusting and disgusting.

With a "kick" sound, the two finally landed safely.The coldness on the silk toes hit her like an ice pick, and she couldn't help but shiver.When he raised his eyes, his vision suddenly changed from darkness to light. Below the mouth of the well was a deep dark river that could not be seen to the end. A thin mist appeared on the river, vaguely blocking their sight.

Li Yun was about to move forward, but the young lady behind him grabbed his sleeve.

"Huh?! Taoist nun, this is—"

Shen Huihe took out a white jade medicine jar from his sleeve, swallowed one himself, and then handed the other to him.Seeing this, Li Yun swallowed the brown pill without hesitation, and a bitter peach wood smell filled his mouth.

Shen Huihe raised a crescent eyebrow and said with a smile: "Aren't you afraid that I will poison you to retaliate against you?"

His face was calm and calm, he cleared his throat and said coldly: "I didn't know it down there, but now that I've been down the well, I know it's really dangerous down there. The Taoist nun is injured in the back, but she's still willing to go into the well to look for people, although I don't know if it's a lie. A money charlatan, he is definitely not a vicious person who is determined to exact revenge."

Shen Huihe was startled and grunted in displeasure, thinking that he had seen it clearly yesterday.

"You can't say for sure. I am the most cruel, evil and unlucky person." She curled her lips and took out a dozen talismans from under her sleeve on the other side and handed them to him, "Put them away. It should come in handy later.”

Last night, she used the art of summoning spirits to lure the big black-robed thing under the wellhead, but she had never walked down the undercurrent of the river herself.

The two of them swam through the cold and biting river water and walked inside step by step. Their feet were as heavy as if they were filled with lead paste, and the thin mist seemed to be gradually filled with strong ink. They danced with ink and splashed everywhere, feeling confused. I can't see clearly the water and stone wall in front of me.

Shen Huihe kept waving the talisman along the way to clear the fog in front of him.After a long while, the two finally came to a spacious circular wall room.The stone slab at the front of this circular wall chamber seemed to have been deliberately raised by two feet. Although the ground was wet, these undercurrents could not rise up anyway.

Directly in front is a large tall stone wall with three small arched doors. The uppermost stone lampshade in the middle is sticky, with a few withered and dried cattail flowers stuck in it.

There are three doors on a wall, the door of life or the door of death, there is only one choice.This is a three-door formation.

The two of them observed carefully for a while and suddenly said in unison: "Left!"

The two of them were startled, looked at each other, and then turned their heads away at the same time in a tacit understanding, with disgust and disgust for each other in their eyes.

"Only the water flow in front of the small door on the left is the smallest, and the water line under the ground is also the lowest. I'm afraid there is an empty room inside."

Shen Huihe nodded slightly and agreed with his judgment, then threw out a piece of talisman: "Destroy!"

A small hole was cut out of the small iron door, and no water flowed out. It was indeed an empty room.However, the size of the small hole was so small that a petite and delicate woman could only pass through it, which was a bit difficult for the tall and straight Li Yun.

Shen Huihe blinked his crystal clear eyes, easily passed through the small hole, and stood in the alcove eagerly watching the show.

Li Yun's eyes moved slightly, but it was fleeting, and then he said without being angry or angry: "It turns out that the Taoist nun is considerate of me, and I don't want to put myself in danger. Then I would rather be respectful than obey my orders, and just wait here for the Taoist nun." Take care, Taoist nun!"

She was startled. It seemed that Boss Li was really difficult to tease and deal with!

"Boss Li, you——"

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!Suddenly, a girl's eerie laughter came from behind!She wasted no more time and waved her left hand, and the small door collapsed.

"go!"

Entering the alcove, the corridor inside became even more moist and slippery, and the water dripping from the top of the head made a loud sound.There were strange sticky black stains hanging upside down on the stone walls on both sides. They were pitted and bumpy. Some places were deeper and some were shallower. They also exuded a familiar fishy smell.

Li Yun walked in front, frowning slightly, wanting to raise his hand to touch this weird thing.

"Don't touch it! It's poisonous!" She shouted to stop him, stopped, and frowned.

"What's so weird?"

"Do you know how much evil this big guy in black robe has done for decades?"

"I have heard that in early April every year, the villagers sacrifice a five-year-old or six-year-old girl to Suolongjing to pray for a safe and abundant harvest. This has been the case every year for more than twenty years. .”

She nodded slightly, with a hint of ridicule in her tone: "Fortunately, you are not ignorant, impulsive and ignorant. If you look more carefully, you might be able to see some clues?"

Li Yun tried his best to ignore the displeasure in her tone and turned his head to take a closer look.

"I always feel like these sticky things are surging slightly?"

"Even if you still have some vision, these sticky things are still breathing."

"Gasp? What do you mean by this?"

"These pitted soil stains look strange and shapeless at first glance, but if you turn the top few clays upside down, you see, there are some clues?"

Li Yun's eyes narrowed slightly at first, then he frowned, and finally looked at her in disbelief: "These are all--"

"Yes, they are all human faces, presumably those of abducted girls."

The faces hanging upside down on the stone wall, firmly embedded in the mud and black ink, are the faces of girls who were sacrificed underground in the past.Although they are dark and slimy, it is impossible to tell who is who, but those slightly protruding eyelids, nose bridges and small lips are all similar. If you look closely, they are really the faces of young women. .

However, the facial features on their faces have become more mature, as if they have grown up to three or four years or seven or eight years old under the nourishment of the dark tide and sludge clay. Some of them have even developed the delicate appearance of young ladies.The center of each lump of mud is the bridge of their noses, and the wings of their noses are still rising and falling, as if they are breathing regularly.

"They might still have a chance -"

Shen Huihe changed a few gestures, then shook his head and said helplessly: "We can't save them, their seven souls and six souls have been absorbed long ago. Although they are living creatures, they are half-dead and half-alive beings fed by the filthy air. Objects, perhaps even have become—"
