Chapter 37 Grave (4)
Without thinking about it, he followed the blood to the bronze statue, and found a movable copper plate on the chest and abdomen of the bronze statue, which seemed to be a door panel.He stretched out his hand and was about to touch the copper plate when his waist tightened suddenly. Before he could react, his body was already suspended in the air, and an irresistible force brought him into the air.Guan Xueying behind her also made a sound of struggling. Although she couldn't cry out, she could still hear the panic in her heart from her rapid breathing.

"Is this your real face?" Feng Si lowered his head and said softly.Under him, the monster he had been chasing for months finally appeared clearly in his sight.

The village head, Wan Dongfeng, has been restless these days.He had an inexplicable premonition that a huge crisis was approaching.

It was the young man named Fons who brought about this crisis.At first, Wan Dongfeng thought this was an arty, ordinary donkey friend, and didn't pay much attention to it. Unexpectedly, the second day this guy came to the village, he took a photo and started looking for him.And the two people in that photo are the father and son who bother him the most and scare him the most.

"This is for you," the man said before leaving. "It doesn't matter if it dies, as long as it pays with the lives of all of you in the village."

This is by no means to scare people, Wan Dongfeng knows that person's tricks too well.If necessary, he could stew his own son into soup and drink it.There is no way, the poor village chief can only support himself, maintaining the lie that has been circulating for thousands of years.Fortunately, under the deliberate arrangement of the ancestors, this village has always been in a semi-civilized and ignorant state, which is easy to fool.As long as my old bones close my eyes and kick my legs one day, I will leave the rest to others to worry about.

But Fons' arrival has the potential to change all that.He didn't know how this person had the photo of the father and son, but he could judge from this that this kid must know a lot of things that he shouldn't know.

He immediately gave the order to silence him, but it was strange that this big living person disappeared inexplicably, and the villagers couldn't find him no matter how hard they searched.Some people suspected that he actually slipped down the cliff and fell to his death while escaping, but no body was found, and no one could be [-]% sure.What's more, a big living person came to the village and disappeared. Maybe the family will follow the clues to find it.

To make matters worse, Wan Dongfeng hadn't bothered enough about this matter these past few days, and a new trouble came again, and it was an even more terrifying big trouble.

"Village Chief! Something has happened!" A knock on the door in the middle of the night woke Wan Dongfeng from his sleep, "The ancestor seems to have woken up!"

Wan Dongfeng's obscenity had already reached his lips, and he held it back. He jumped up from the bed, didn't care about putting on his shoes, so he staggered out and opened the door: "What did you say?"

"Something happened to the ancestral grave! The ancestor seems to have woken up!" The person outside the door repeated loudly, breaking Wan Dongfeng's last sliver of luck.

After 20 minutes, Wan Dongfeng brought people to the ancestral grave.He was calm on the surface, but he was completely without confidence in his heart.The person who left had only told him how to keep the ancestor in a deep sleep in a normal state, but now it was an extraordinary time, when the time was not up and there was no warning at all, the ancestor suddenly woke up.

What should I do?Wan Dongfeng was flustered in his heart, but on the surface he had to force himself to keep his composure so that the villagers would not see it.When he came to the ancestral grave, he yelled a few times outside, but Yu Shu and the others didn't respond at all.

"It's a disaster that can't be avoided..." Wan Dongfeng sighed.He turned around and waved to the villagers who followed him, "Stay outside. If I don't call you, don't come in no matter what sounds you hear."

The villagers were eager for Wan Dongfeng to say that, and they all nodded hurriedly.Wan Dongfeng sighed again, walked in, then closed the stone door of the tomb with force, and activated the hidden lock hidden inside the door.Only he knew about this mechanism. Once activated, several thick stone slabs would seal the door of the tomb, making it impossible to open the door of the tomb from the outside.

"If it really doesn't work, I'll die here with you." Wan Dongfeng muttered, walked forward with slightly stumbling steps, and followed the bloodstains to the main hall behind the Sanqing Hall.There, the ancestors had indeed woken up.

At first glance, the shape of the ancestor is somewhat similar to the king squid in the deep sea, with a huge oval body and many long and thick tentacles.But if you take a closer look, you will find that there are some incongruities in this shape.Although those long tentacles came out of the torso, the color was completely different from the torso.The ancestor's torso is dark gray, but the tentacles are crimson. The contrast between the two tones is quite sharp. For example, those tentacles are like vines wrapped around a big tree, rather than the same root. .

If these tentacles are removed, the huge torso left by the ancestor looks more similar to a brain magnified hundreds of times, full of wrinkles.At the front of this "brain", a green eye is shining with evil light.This is a monster that does not exist in people's common sense, but it is there, with a horrifying aura, so real that it cannot be doubted.

Hearing Wan Dongfeng's approach, the ancestor seemed a little excited, and his tentacles began to dance slowly in mid-air.But it quickly stopped moving, and slowly retracted the tentacles.

"You still recognize me, old ancestor." Wan Dongfeng smiled wryly, "It's not the time yet, why did you wake up? Those juniors who ran in to see you just now, where did they go?"

Of course, the ancestors could not answer these questions.It just shrank its body back slowly, as if it was a little dissatisfied that its "children" came instead of other things.Wan Dongfeng didn't say any more, and started looking for the whereabouts of the missing person in this temple.He walked up to the bronze statue and pulled open the trap door forcefully.As soon as he opened the door, his vision blurred, and he was hit hard on the face.This punch made him stare in the eyes, and he immediately fell to the ground, as if all his limbs and bones had lost consciousness.It took a while before he could feel the severe pain rising from his face, and he regained consciousness in his hands and feet, but he couldn't move, as if he was bound by something.

Wan Dongfeng barely opened his swollen eyelids and saw everything in front of him clearly.He had already been tied hands and feet with ropes, and there were two people standing in front of him, one was Feng Si whom the villagers had been looking for so hard, and the other was Guan Xueying, the mute daughter of the villagers Guansuo.After a little thought, he understood what was going on, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

"It's hard to guard against house thieves," Wan Dongfeng shook his head, "I didn't expect the bug to come from you."

Guan Xueying was very timid in front of the village chief, she didn't dare to express anything, she just shrank her body behind Feng Si.Wan Dongfeng turned his gaze to Feng Si again: "There is help, so it's not surprising that you can escape our search. But I don't quite understand why you can stay with your ancestor for so long without incident. "

"To be honest, I'm even more surprised than you about this." Feng Si said, leaning against the old ancestor.Not only did the monster not make an attacking movement, but it moved its body back two meters with difficulty, and those tentacles with teeth and claws were also close to the body.

Feng Si, however, refused to let go, strode after him, and grabbed one of the tentacles.The old ancestor stopped moving, but his whole body began to tremble slightly.

"I don't quite understand what's going on, but obviously, it's afraid of me." Feng Si spread his hands.

half an hour ago.

An irresistible force swept Feng Si into the air.He turned around and finally saw the true face of this monster called "Old Ancestor".Before that, combined with the vague old photo and various descriptions he heard and read, he had imagined the shape of this monster countless times. Now that he saw it with his own eyes, he found that it was actually similar to what he imagined.Of course, there is a little bit of deviation, and that is those waving tentacles.

——All the descriptions only mention an oval object shaped like optic flesh, or a brain, but never mention that there are attachments outside its main body.Neither does the monster in the picture.

"What is this? Evolution?" Fons said mockingly.In fact, he was nervous enough, especially before the ancestor showed up.But I don't know why, after falling into the tentacles of this monster, he was not afraid anymore, and a certain kind of... kindness was faintly felt from the bottom of his heart.This kind of intimacy is very strange, but it can't be erased. It's like pulling out a tattered puppet from an old toy box. Although I can't remember whether I played with it when I was young, the indescribable feeling The familiar feeling, but it will quietly emerge from the depths of my heart.

"I said, I'm not really related to you, am I?" Feng Si stared into the green eyes of the old ancestor.The ancestor seemed to have never met such a prey who dared to look at it. There was a trace of surprise and hesitation in his eyes, just like a human being, but immediately after, the killing intent was revealed.It exerted force suddenly, retracted its tentacles, pulled Fons to its side, and then a big hole was opened on the surface of its body, like a raging bloody mouth, trying to swallow Fons.

Guan Xueying opened her mouth wide, terrified to the extreme, her throat twitched like a twitch, and she let out a hoarse cry, which was already the loudest she could make.The next scene made her close her eyes and dare not look at it again: the ancestor stuffed Feng Si's body into his "mouth", and she felt that she could almost hear Feng Si's body being torn apart in her imagination, the flesh and blood being swallowed and The sound of bones being crushed into crumbs.

But this was just an imagination after all. She closed her eyes and waited for a long time, but she didn't hear any extra sounds. The entire temple was silent, as if the only sound left was her nervous breathing.After a while, she really couldn't bear this depressing silence, and finally opened her eyes bravely, and she was stunned when she saw it.

Feng Si, who had been devoured, was actually standing on the ground intact, and the tentacles wrapping around him had also loosened.It seemed that Feng Si didn't understand what happened. He was also full of doubts, staring at the old ancestor who didn't know why he was so kind.But soon, both of them understood.

"Are you afraid of me?" Feng Si scratched his scalp, took two steps forward, and stood in front of the ancestor.In his line of sight, the old ancestor had already retracted all the tentacles, and his whole body seemed to have shrunk a lot, lying motionless on the ground.If you observe carefully, you can see that its body is trembling slightly.Feng Si was right, the ancestor was actually scared.

Guan Xueying also dared to approach, but the ancestor still didn't move.She looked at Feng Si, her eyes were full of confusion, Feng Si shook her head: "I don't understand what happened, I was obviously swallowed by it, but for some reason, it quickly vomited me up again come out."

"Why is it afraid of you?" Guan Xueying wrote.

Feng Si spread his hands: "Ghost knows why. But since it doesn't dare to hurt me, I want to have some intimate contact with it."
