Chapter 145 The Demolished Jade Emperor Temple
Seeing that team of ghosts walking on tiptoe in the rainy night with blue lanterns, Nangong Yuzhang and I held our breath almost at the same time.

There were seven ghosts in that ghost team, six big and one small, the six big ones were all male ghosts, and the young one was a little girl.

The little girl walked in the front, holding the blue ghost lantern in her hand.

Their speed was not fast, and it took a while to walk tens of meters away.

Nangong and I exchanged glances, and then I heard Nangong say: "This ghost team may have something to do with Beiyu Desolate Village, let's go up and see."

I nodded.

The ghosts of that ghost team are all around the shadow, even if I follow them, I am not very afraid.

Nangong Lian and I followed carefully tens of meters behind. Although Nangong Lian used spells to shield us from the rain along the way, the water droplets on the weeds and bushes beside the road still made our clothes wet. few.

Looking at those ghosts in front again, the rain is passing through the body, and there is no need to think about whether the clothes are wet.

Sometimes, I really envy them.

Nangong Xizang and I didn't dare to walk too fast, because the ghosts in front walked too slowly, they took every step very carefully, and almost all the steps were the same.

After walking with that group of ghosts for a while, I curiously asked Nangong Yuzhang in a low voice, "What are those ghosts doing?"

Nangong Xie shook his head and said, "You don't know, how would I know, I'm not one of them."

After walking with the group of ghosts for a while, Nangong Xiong and I were stunned at the same time, because not far in front of me was the Jade Emperor Temple, and the temple was surrounded by weeds, basically the same as the one on Cai Ling's painting scroll.

After seeing the Jade Emperor Temple, Nangong Xiong smiled and said, "Haha, it doesn't take much effort to get here!"

I said, "We've been walking for a day and a night, so it doesn't take much time!"

Nangong Xiong said with a "hum", "Why, why don't you go back and wait for tomorrow's dawn to walk again?"

I shook my head quickly.

We followed these ghosts, and indeed felt that the distance was much closer, but if I were allowed to walk by myself at dawn, it would be really hard to say whether I would be able to find this way.

Although this section is not very long, when we walked during the day, we found that this place seemed to be blinded. We had to search carefully to find the traces of the road. If we didn't follow the road, we would only go further and further away.

I tried to observe the surrounding situation, but I didn't feel any spells such as ghosts covering the eyes, so I asked Nangong what was going on, and she told me that it was a kind of formation that separated the road and the surrounding mountains. , The vegetation is built on top of each other, forming a maze-like existence. There is only one correct road, and if you go wrong, you will not find the exit.

After the ghost team arrived at the Jade Emperor Temple, they turned to the left, and then they disappeared as if the world had evaporated.

After waiting for a while, Nangong Xiong and I chased to the front of the Jade Emperor Temple.

We looked around, but we didn't see the so-called Beiyu deserted village. As Zhao Ling said, there is no deserted village at all.

I glanced in the direction where the ghost team disappeared. In the rainy night, I couldn't see the distant scenery clearly. I could only vaguely see a green hill, but one thing was certain, there was no village in the green hill.

Nangong Xiong looked away from the place where the ghost team disappeared, but concentrated on looking at the Jade Emperor Temple in front of her. I asked her if there was another clue to the Jade Emperor Temple.

She ignored me, but walked directly to the dilapidated temple gate.

I also quickly followed, the temple gate was no longer there, but it was pitch black inside, and I couldn’t see what was going on inside. Nangong Xiong directly took out a flashlight and took a photo, and I found that the temple was also empty. There is not a single statue in the temple.

We walked directly into the temple, and there were a few dilapidated tables and a few crumbling chairs inside. Those tables and chairs were so rotten that I felt that if I touched them lightly, they would completely fall apart.

On the table that was about to fall apart, there were still tea bowls and teapots, and two teapots were overturned.

I couldn't help wondering: "Who would set up a tea table to drink tea in the Jade Emperor Temple?"

Nangong Xiong did not answer me, but continued to look around, and there were still a few rolls of red silk cloth thrown in the corner. Those red silk cloths often appear in temples and are usually used to wrap around the body of gods. There is a statue here, as for why the statue disappeared, we need to investigate further.

Perhaps the disappearance of the god statue has something to do with Beiyu Village becoming a deserted village.

Nangong Xiong walked slowly to the side of the red silk cloth, then looked around and walked to the side of the rotten wooden chair, and took off a chair leg from the chair, and then she used that chair leg to turn over the red silk cloth. cloth.

There was a burst of dust, and Nangong Lian and I quickly covered our noses.

As the red silk cloth was slowly pushed aside, Nangong Xiong and I were stunned, because a child's skeleton was wrapped in the red silk cloth. From the analysis of the size of the skeleton, it seemed to be the same blue as before. The ghost lantern, the little girl who leads the team is almost the same as a ghost.

Just when I thought about it, Nangong Xiong said directly: "It's that little girl from just now!"

I said "ah", and then asked how she was sure.

Nangong Xun said: "I can see that they have connected auras. I have the eyes of the galaxy, so I can recognize them at a glance."

I nodded, Nangong's eyes are very sharp, since she said so, she must be right.

But why did the little girl's skeleton stay in the Jade Emperor Temple?
I can't help but wonder in my heart.

Nangong Qiang looked at it for a while, then used the old chair leg to cover the little girl's skeleton with the red silk cloth again.

Then she threw the chair legs to the side and walked outside the Jade Emperor Temple. At this time, the rain outside had gradually diminished, and it seemed that it would stop soon.

Looking at the mountainside in the distance, a hazy light has already appeared, and the sky is about to dawn.

I didn't go out of the Jade Emperor Temple, but continued to look around in the temple. I picked up the chair leg thrown away by Nangong Yuzhang and touched the teapot and tea bowl on the abandoned table, only to find that the teapot was very heavy. It didn't move, as if it was glued to the table.

The same goes for teacups.

I tried to push it a few times, but when it didn't work, I threw away the chair leg and prepared to touch it with my hands. At this time, Nangong Yuzhang said: "If you want to die, just touch it!"

I quickly withdrew my hand and looked towards Nangong Yuzhang. She stood at the gate of the Jade Emperor Temple and looked at me with a sneer. Her smile made me feel a little chilled.

I asked Nangong Xiong why these teacups and teapots should not be touched.

Nangong Xiong said, "Because it's poisonous, and it's extremely poisonous!"

I curiously asked what kind of poison it was, and Nangong Xiong said, "It's a kind of poisonous poison, a poisonous poison that can kill even ghosts. If ordinary people accidentally touch it, if the treatment is timely, the soul will be injured, and the soul will be scattered if it is not timely."

Hearing what Nangong Xiong said, I took a few steps back in fright. I never thought that there are poisons in this world that can directly poison people to death.

Nangong Xiong said again: "It's nothing surprising, your little foodie's Gu poison is also very powerful, and it can directly injure people's souls, making people lose their souls, but the amount of poison needs to be controlled by you and the foodie. .”

I asked curiously: "Snacks should also be sensitive to toxins, why didn't Snacks remind me when I was going to touch the tea bowl?"

Thinking of this, I got in touch with Xiaohuo, and Xiaohuo told me in his consciousness that it is not afraid of the toxin, even if I am poisoned, it can eat the toxin again without hurting me.

I couldn't help but burst out laughing when I heard Xiaohuo's explanation.

"What are you laughing at?" Nangong Xiong asked me.

I told Nangong Xiong what the snack guy told me, and she said enviously, "You've taken up the snack bar again."

Although the snack guy said so, I still didn't dare to touch the teapot and tea bowl with my hands, but continued to ask Nangong Yuzhang if he had any other discoveries.

Nangong Xiong pointed to the surroundings of the Jade Emperor Temple and said, "It's almost dawn now, use this light to look around again."

I walked out of the temple gate and saw that there were ruins among the weeds all around. If you look at it from a distance, you can't see it at all, so it is not reflected in Cai Ying's painting scroll.

Nangong Xun continued: "This shows that the original scale of the Jade Emperor Temple was not small, but it was demolished later. I suspect that the villagers of Beiyu Village did it. As for why only the main temple remained, I think something happened when they demolished the main temple, the whole village died, and Beiyu Village became a deserted village!"

"This can also explain why there are tables, chairs, teapots and tea bowls here. These should be left when the people who demolished the temple here were resting."

Nangong Yuzhang has a rich imagination, but she is not just thinking about it, but slowly deducing it based on some clues. What she said is very likely to be true, provided that the Jade Emperor Temple was really demolished by the people of Beiyu Village of.

Thinking of this, I asked curiously: "Could it be that the Jade Emperor got angry and killed the entire village?"

Nangong Xizang smiled and said: "You are so naive. Most of the gods who have gods have disappeared, including the Jade Emperor, so it is impossible for him to come to kill people. I am a person who lives in the upper realm."

I nodded.

I looked around carefully, and said: "The temple should not be simply demolished, but relocated. First of all, the statues are gone, and they should have been moved. After the temple walls were demolished, there were no bricks left. Shi, he should have moved to another place."

If we want to find those bricks and statues, maybe we can find Beiyu Village.

While we were analyzing, a ray of sunlight shone over. Following that ray of sunlight, we couldn't help but glance at the place where the ghost disappeared last night. A village slowly emerged from what was originally just a green hill.

That village is Beiyu Village on the scroll!
