Chapter 389 Skinned Deer (1)

Under the illumination of the flashlight, the light and shadow of the old building in front are intertwined, the mottled pillars appear and disappear among the vegetation, the dilapidated wooden door is half upside down, revealing half of the doorway, and there is a wooden plaque above the door, but it is covered by vines The plants were covered, and it was impossible to read what was written on it.

Machete said that there was a pair of eyes peeping at us just now, but those eyes did not belong to Red Boy.

What would that be?
As soon as the eyes disappear, the laughter also disappears. Is it possible that, like the white-haired old thief, some long-lived animal deliberately imitates human laughter to scare us?No, no, the laughter I heard before came from all directions. Some animals that can live to a very old age are not common, so it can't be everywhere, right?
There must be other reasons.

Scimitar squinted his eyes, and the flashlight was very close to his eyes. His gray pupils seemed to have become transparent, which looked very weird, as if a ring was vacant in both eyes, which was really uncomfortable at first glance.

I don't know if it's because of the mixed race, but the gray eyes look fine during the day, but at night, especially under the light, they are actually quite uncomfortable.

Machete said slowly: "Face left, face right, you go to the side." He gestured to both sides of the building with a flashlight.

The building doesn't look big, but it's not small either. Although it's covered by vegetation, you can still see other doors from the left and right. Obviously, there are several rooms. The architectural style in ancient times is like this, and the doors are all outside.

The twin brothers nodded, and walked to both sides with flashlights. There were thick fallen leaves on the ground. The dry climate in winter made the dead leaves very brittle. When they stepped on, every step made a clear clicking sound.

With a gun in my hand, the gun was already loaded, and I walked side by side with the scimitar to the main entrance of the building.Anba couldn't move forward or retreat. The man about 1.8 meters shyly followed me closely. He was too close, which made my movements a little awkward. I couldn't help but said: "You are so tall, don't get so close. You made me move so sluggishly that I would be hard to deal with if I was in danger."

Anba was also a little embarrassed, and deliberately straightened his back, not as timid as before.

While we were talking, we reached the gate and used a machete to clean up the vines climbing the gate, revealing the covered plaque on it.

deer temple.

I looked at the two words above and felt a little strange, and said, "What does Zhang Temple mean? I know Dragon King Temple and Mazu Temple, and I also know that the folks in Northeast China have the habit of worshiping immortals, and some even build Wuxian Temples. This deer temple...could it be the deer temple?"

The five animals often worshiped by the folks, that is, the five immortals, Hu, Huang, Bai, Liu, and Hui, are respectively foxes, weasels, hedgehogs, snakes, and mice. These are the five animals that are most likely to become sperm in folklore, so Known as the Five Immortals.In addition, except for some special religions, the Han people do not worship other animals, and most of the temples they build are Taoist or Buddhist temples.

But if the deer temple refers to the deer, then it is a bit strange, because the deer is a kind of animal, which is neither included in Taoism or Buddhism, nor is it among the five immortals. For no reason, who would worship the deer?
Filled with doubts, I turned on the light inside, and inside was the main hall of the temple. When the light was turned on, a clay statue of deer was exposed on the altar inside.This confirmed my conjecture, it really is the deer.

Deer is a small ungulate. It looks very pleasing and cute. Girls like it. About deer, it is well known for their musk glands, which can secrete musk. Musk can not only be used to make precious spices , and can be used as medicine, so it has always been very expensive, which also makes the roe deer a target of poachers, which also reduces the number of roe deer year by year. At present, the wild roe deer has been listed as a first-class protected animal.
There was dust everywhere in the temple, and the clay statue of the deer looked like it was dusty, and it raised its hooves and turned its head, as if it was about to run away.

Seeing this, Anba on the other side also felt strange, and said, "It's really a roe? My father once hunted one before, but it was a female roe, which doesn't produce musk, so it's worthless. Deer?"

With doubts, the three of us stepped into the main hall, and the lights swept around. The temple is not big, and the tables and cases on both sides of the main hall are still neatly arranged.

While checking, I asked Anba, "Have you ever heard of worshiping deer?"

Anba said: "Is there anyone who worships this thing? We eat meat and eat grass? And the deer looks cute, but it is very evil. Have you heard the story about the deer wearing human skin? "

This story has been widely circulated, of course I have heard of it.

It is said that among the deer, only the male deer can become sperm, because the male deer has a musk gland sac, which is a treasure for people to cure fragrance and medicine, but for animals, it is a tool for reproduction, which has great potential. aphrodisiac effect.

According to folklore, male roe deer will gradually lose interest in female roe deer when they become spirits, and they will be interested in human women when they become human and intellectual.For this reason, if the male roe deer has become a man, if he takes a fancy to a human woman, he will find a way to secretly kill the woman's man, then wear the man's human skin on himself, disguise himself as a man, and have sex with that woman mating.

Even if the roe deer is covered with human skin, it is impossible to be exactly the same as a human being. Normal people can see the difference, but the male roe deer will use its own musk sachet to secrete an aphrodisiac fragrance before causing trouble. The woman was insane, so she disguised herself as a human being and got away with it.

The five immortals worshiped by the people are enshrined in Baojia, so they are called Baojiaxian, but the deer is a kind of evil spirit, so no one will offer deer, so the temple in front of us is particularly strange.

Thinking about the puppet on the tree outside, it was even more wrong.

I said: "Could it be that decades ago, someone worshiped the roe deer to protect their children from disasters? Anba, haven't you heard the elders mention this?"

Anba shook his head, looked around curiously, and said, "Didn't there be a note with the birth date just now? This is a thing from the old days. People at that time were very tight-lipped. This kind of feudal superstition , I did it secretly, and I dare not say it to the outside world, anyway, I have never heard of it, hey..." He seemed to have thought of something, pointed to the clay sculpture of the deer, with a suspicious expression: "...the eyes I saw just now , could it be..."

I whispered: "Don't scare people, there are so many weirdos."

Anba said: "It's better to believe that it exists than not. How about explaining what happened before? I said, if there is really a deer spirit here, let's get rid of it as soon as possible... Deer deer spirits are all male, and I like them the most. Picking off a man's skin, and then wearing human skin to fuck a woman, we are all men, it's really dangerous."
