Ghostly Tomb

Chapter 65 Fox Sacrifice Ceremony ([-])

Chen Zhi turned on the flashlight on his mobile phone and took a picture inside the temple, but there was no one in sight.He and Ghost Dao walked to the entrance of the ruined temple, and whispered "Erkui" a few times, but no one answered, and the whole ruined temple was quiet and pitch black.

Chen Zhi and Ghost Dao walked into the temple lightly. Chen Zhi took a flashlight to look around. Although the temple looked dilapidated on the outside, the layout inside was very complete.There are colorful curtains hanging everywhere in the temple, which is full of musty smell.

Right in front of the temple is a statue of a god, whose appearance is not clear.Chen Zhi took a photo with an electric wand. This statue is carved of a woman, with a graceful posture and a lifelike smile. Her body is painted with gold leaf. I don’t know what era it is from. At first glance, I thought it was A smiling woman hides behind a curtain.

In front of the statue was an altar, covered with a long tablecloth, on which were offered steamed buns and fruits, all moldy with time.There is a tablet on the altar, which reads: "The Empress of the Fox Fairy".

Chen Zhi thought to himself, "This is probably the fox fairy enshrined in their village." He walked over and softly called, "Erkui, we are here."

He and Ghost Dao searched around the temple with a flashlight, but found no one. The temperature in the mountain was very low, and the pillars in the temple were covered with frost.

Chen Zhi felt that things were not going well, and Er Kui looked very serious at the time, so he probably wouldn't miss the appointment.Now, he and Chunhua'er didn't show up here as scheduled. There were two reasons. One was that they couldn't wait for Chen Zhi and escaped from the village by themselves.Second, they were discovered.

At this time, Chen Zhi felt something wrong under his feet, a little sticky, as if there was a viscous liquid under his feet.

He used a flashlight to shine a light on his feet, and saw that there was a pool of red liquid on the blue bricks on the ground. Ghost Knife squatted down and touched it with his hand, and said to Chen Zhi: "It's blood."

Chen Zhi pointed the flashlight at the source of the pool of blood. The blood flowed from under the table where the sacrifices were placed, and a corner of the tablecloth was already stained red.

Holding his breath and holding the flashlight, Chen Zhi walked lightly to the altar, slowly removed the tablecloth with a knife, and was immediately startled.

Just behind the tablecloth, Er Kui was lying there hunched over, his eyes were cloudy, and he was already dead.Many knives were stabbed in his chest, his body was covered in blood, his eyes were protruding, and he looked like he was dying.

Just at this moment, there was a clatter behind Chen Zhi, and a figure jumped in from the door.

"Who?" Chen Zhi turned around quickly, reaching out to grab the man's throat.

But was firmly grasped by the person who came, and the person said: "Your mother, what do you want to do? You want to strangle me to death?"

Chen Zhi took a closer look and found that the person who jumped in was Fat Wei.

Chen Zhi immediately breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, he had been worried that something would happen to Fat Wei. He asked Fat Wei, "How is it? Did you see the leaves?"

"No", Fat Wei shook his head, with a look of loneliness in his eyes, "I went through the window of her house, and her house was empty, there was no one there, I saw that Ye Zi's clothes were folded on the kang, Shouldn't have traveled far."

Chen Zhi patted Pang Wei and said: "Don't think so much now, let's find a way to get out first, and make plans."

Fat Wei looked at Er Kui's corpse on the ground, and said, "These villagers are so crazy, they even killed their own people, they really turned into animals in the mountains. "

Chen Zhi nodded and said, "Er Kui and Chun Hua'er may have been discovered here. Er Kui died not long ago. It is estimated that Chun Hua'er is in the hands of those villagers now. According to what Er Kui said, she may be killed tonight." Send it to the fox hole."

"Look over there", it was Ghost Knife who spoke from behind, and his finger pointed to the back mountain outside the window.

Chen Zhi looked along his fingers.

From a distance, I saw a group of black shadows holding shining torches, forming a fiery snake, walking slowly towards the back mountain, which has already gone a long way.

"Let's go! Let's follow them, and they will take us to the fox cave." After Chen Zhi finished speaking, he motioned for Ghost Saber and Pang Wei to run out of the ruined temple and follow the flames.

The three quickly ran towards the fire in the night. Tracking was a technical job. They had to prevent being seen by others first, so their steps had to be very light, but their speed and reaction ability had to be very fast.During the running process, Chen Zhi once again noticed the kung fu on Ghost Dao. Although his speed was fast, his body was very stable. He couldn't hear the sound of breathing during the whole running process, and Fat Wei was also okay. In comparison, Chen Zhi's breathing was more rapid.

The three of them ran and followed the villagers up and down the mountain, and walked in the mountain for nearly three hours.

Chen Zhi soon discovered that they had entered the depths of Daxing'an Mountains. This is definitely an undeveloped primitive deep forest. The temperature on the mountain is very low, and the surrounding trees are so tall that the tops cannot be seen. The trees are covered with hard frost. .The stiff leaves rattled in the cold wind, and the wind hit the face like a knife, and the sound of wild beasts came from the mountains.The deep mountain roads in Daxing'an Mountains are very difficult to walk, and the stones on the mountains are bright and hard.Grasping it with two hands, one by one accidentally, there was a deep bloody gash.The pedestrian in front seemed to be very familiar with the mountain road, and walked very quickly. Chen Zhi vaguely saw that there were about a dozen people, two of them were carrying a long stick, and a woman was tied to it.The woman seemed to be gagged, and she couldn't hear a sound. It was probably the spring flowers worshiping the gods tonight.

Just as they were getting closer to the villagers in front, Chen Zhi saw from a distance that the team in front seemed to have stopped.

Chen Zhi and the others also slowed down, jumped onto a big rock, and looked towards the fire in the dark mountain.Because they ran too fast just now, the villagers are only about 20 meters away.

Chen Zhi saw that the place where the villagers stopped seemed to be a large smooth stone slab, which was very large, about [-] to [-] square meters.The villagers unhooked the spring flowers from the sticks and placed them in the middle of the stone slabs.

Chen Zhi saw from a distance that standing in front of those villagers was Chun Hua'er's father.

After Chun Hua'er was unloaded from the stick, she seemed to be very panicked, and kept begging his father for protection. Chen Zhi could hear Chun Hua'er's crying here, but his father seemed unmoved, and he was in the flickering firelight. Next, Chen Zhi saw his father's face seemed to be smiling.

While the three of Chen Zhi were studying their next move.Suddenly, the whole deep mountain shook like an earthquake, all the trees were rattled, and a group of mountain birds flew out of the forest with a "squeak", as if there were some huge beasts like this while running.

At this time, I saw those villagers shouting loudly: "The fox fairy is coming! Run!".

The torches fell one after another, and a group of villagers rolled and climbed, running down the mountain like crazy.It seemed that something terrifying was coming out of the mountain.

Chen Zhi and the others quickly jumped down and hid behind a huge rock. They saw the group of villagers shouting like a group of black shadows, disappearing into the darkness, and the mountain returned to a dead silence.

The three of Chen Zhi and the others came out of the rock, climbed up and looked forward.

It was pitch black ahead, and I couldn't see clearly.On the stone slab, some torches had not been burnt out, scattered on the ground, and through the slight light of the fire, one could see Chunhua lying on the slate, trembling violently, and her face was distorted due to great fear.
