Starting his cultivation from marrying the Weaver Girl

Chapter 43 Four Statues
Before Xiaoqing could say anything.

Lin Yao grabbed her hand and jumped into the darkness.

The two men's ears were filled with the sound of whistling wind. This situation did not last long before their bodies fell to the ground.

"Lin Yao, you are really a..."

"madman?"

Seeing that Xiaoqing seemed to be hesitant to speak, Lin Yao spoke up and continued her words.

He chuckled. After what happened at Lanruo Temple, he understood one thing.

This world is full of weirdness and filth. If I continue to act according to normal thinking, I will probably die here sooner or later.

However, Lin Yao did not explain anything to Xiaoqing. He looked up and saw that the path to rebirth was still hanging high above his head, stretching into the distance with no end in sight.

"The Path to Rebirth is a road of no return, with only death and no life. This Rebirth Inn is truly eerie."

Lin Yao let out a sigh of relief. He knew this, but there were still too many things that required him to get there before his problems could be solved.

"Lin Yao, there are four statues here."

Xiaoqing's voice brought Lin Yao back to his senses. There were four statues around where they were standing, facing the four directions of east, west, south and north respectively.

Behind the statue, there is a village.

"Why is there anyone here?"

Lin Yao frowned. When a living person enters the Path of Rebirth, he just wants to go to the Rebirth Inn. How could someone settle down in such a place?

"Be careful."

Lin Yao walked forward slowly. The four stone statues in front of him had different shapes. The stone statue closest to them was almost the same as the monster Lin Yao had seen on the ninth floor.

It has a face that is half male and half female, and even its body is made up of members of the opposite sex.

This statue reminded Lin Yao of Lanruo Bodhisattva, who had a male body and a female appearance. Could it be that he had some connection with the statue in front of him?

Lin Yao looked at the other three statues one by one. Except for the first one, he could not guess the meaning of the other three statues.

"Divided into four directions?"

Lin Yao threw out an embroidery thread from her sleeve and pulled her body into the air.

really.

Lin Yao, who landed on the ground again, already had a rough idea of ​​the meaning of the positions of the four statues.

He looked up at the path to rebirth.

"There's a hexagram of a dilemma above our heads, and there are these four divine beasts suppressing us. No wonder the path to rebirth is so dangerous. This is a formation that suppresses the four divine statues."

Lin Yao looked towards the village in the distance. Perhaps only by going there could he truly find clues about the Wangsheng Inn.

"Let's go."

The two walked towards the village, and just as they left, the eyes of one of the four statues flickered for a moment, and then quietly went out.

There is a stone tablet at the entrance of the village with two big scarlet characters engraved on it - Close the door.

"Is there no way out?"

Lin Yao glanced at the stone tablet and took Xiaoqing into the village.

There was a pot at the entrance of the village, bubbling with steam, as if something was cooking.

The aroma of meat wafted through the air at the entrance of the village. Lin Yao walked to the iron pot where broth was boiling with some animal bones suspended in it.

At this moment, a sound of breaking wind came from his side.

Xiaoqing caught the flying object.

She looked at the dark blade of the flying knife in her hand, which was obviously poisoned.

"do not go."

Lin Yao called out to Xiaoqing who was about to chase after him. They didn't know what was happening in the village yet, and if they chased after him rashly, something might happen.

The embroidery thread gradually extended from his feet and sneaked into the houses on both sides. Soon, he felt the breath of a living person not far ahead.

"Front."

Lin Yao and Xiao Qing rushed to the side together, and a figure flashed among the scattered houses.

The two continued to chase each other relying on the information transmitted by the embroidery thread.

"We can't chase him anymore." Lin Yao stopped. The two of them had been chasing him all the way. After walking a little further, they reached the center of the village. The figure had been deliberately keeping a safe distance from them.

It was obvious that he wanted to lead the two of them into the central area of ​​Fengmen Village.

"It's difficult to handle."

As he chased along the way, Lin Yao did not sense any breath of any living person except that figure.

He even had a feeling that this man had been leading them in circles.

"Lin Yao, I feel a little uncomfortable here."

Xiaoqing suddenly spoke up. Ever since she entered Fengmen Village, her demon instinct made her resist this place, especially the closer she got to the center of the village, the stronger this feeling became.

Lin Yao frowned. It was now extremely difficult to return to the afterlife. The only clue might be in this Fengmen Village.

But he also couldn't ignore Xiaoqing's body.

In fact, it was not just her. Lin Yao also felt that some changes seemed to have taken place in his body after entering Fengmen Village.

For a moment, he was in a dilemma.

While Lin Yao was thinking, the figure suddenly appeared on the roof not far in front of them.

"Outsiders? Are you followers of Mithuda?"

The ethereal voice echoed in the ears of the two men. Lin Yao looked at the figure and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Mi Toudao?

Could it be one of the four statues?
"We don't mean to offend, we're just looking for the Inn of the Afterlife."

Lin Yao thought for a moment. Judging from the man's behavior, he might have mistaken the two people as people serving the four statues.

"The Inn of Rebirth?"

There was some hesitation in the man's words, and he spoke slowly after a long time.

"This is Fengmen Village. There's no Wangsheng Inn as you mentioned. Leave quickly."

As he finished speaking, the figure disappeared from the roof. Lin Yao also felt that this time he did not stop and went straight into the depths of Fengmen Village.

Lin Yao looked at the direction he left, his brows furrowed, which could be heard from his words.

This person must know something about the Rebirth Inn, but doesn't want to tell them.

As for this Fengmen Village
Lin Yao had indeed heard some related legends in his previous life, and even visited the place in person once.

However, the village was not as weird as rumored, it was just a little desolate.

I didn’t expect to see Fengmen Village here.

"So, this village probably exists to suppress something."

Lin Yao looked deeply at the scattered houses in front of him.

"Xiaoqing."

"Nothing serious, just a bit of resistance here."

"Thank you."

Lin Yao slowly stepped into the center of Fengmen Village, and the embroidery thread spread out beside them. This place was not much different from the outside, except that there were more houses.

The two of them carefully walked towards the place where the figure disappeared.

"Lin Yao, there are masks hanging on the doors of the rooms here."

Xiaoqing looked at the houses on both sides and spoke softly.

Lin Yao also discovered this. He even saw some dolls wearing sacrificial costumes in front of some doors.

Even here, there is no sign of life around.

The only things that illuminated the way forward for the two of them were the two candles placed in front of every household.

One red, one white.

The wedding candles and funeral candles appeared in front of the door at the same time, making Lin Yao feel even more chilled.

"The doors on both sides are arched, and the house faces east and west, so it's obviously a wing room, plus there's a candlelight at the door."

Lin Yao had a vague idea why there were no strangers living in this village.

This might actually be a huge village of graves!
