Chapter 132 Dragon King Temple

The moment I walked out of the courtyard door of the old village chief's house, the cold wind blew on my face, and I shivered unconsciously.

Even in the daytime, there is still a thick layer of gray fog floating in the village.

Looking down at the snake bracelet on his wrist, he was a little worried about Chu Yuan's safety. He didn't come back all night, and he didn't know if something happened.

I plan to look for him while looking at the situation in the village.

Walking around the village, I found that there were coffins in many dilapidated houses in Hualong Village, and paper ashes were burned at the gates, and black circles were drawn.

Thinking of the rules of Hualong Village where people cannot die, and looking at those coffins, there might be corpses of dead villagers lying in them, and I couldn't help feeling a little apprehensive.

When wandering around the village, I hadn't gone far, and suddenly the feeling of being spied on in the village yesterday appeared again.

There was a pause, but I didn't look back, but continued to walk forward, and when I was about to turn, I turned around sharply.

There was nothing behind, and when I turned back and continued walking again, the feeling of peeping disappeared.

I walked in the village cautiously, and while observing the village, I remembered what Grandma Liu said. I always felt that there were other reasons for this.

I don't know if Grandma Liu is hiding it on purpose, or she doesn't know. .

Hualong Village built temples for the two ancestors, enshrining the two ancestors who had completed their meritorious deeds as soon as possible and were among the immortals.

If this is the case, why did the two ancestors kill the villagers?
And have such a big resentment towards the whole village?

This is obviously unreasonable, and there may be other reasons hidden in it that I don't know.

I walked around the village, and when I reached the end of the village, suddenly through the thick fog, I heard someone singing opera from a long distance.

It's the voice of an old man, and the voice is very good, it seems to be singing Song Quer.

It was still dark at this time, so I wasn't too scared, but I also felt a little weird in my heart. This village is isolated from the outside world, although there is usually no entertainment.

But how can the old people in the village still sing?

Following the sound, I walked slowly and came to the gate of an old and small courtyard.

At a glance, I saw an old lady sitting with her back facing me in a dilapidated courtyard, listening to an old man sitting on the threshold of the main room singing a song.

The old couple seemed to be having a good time.

After the old man saw me, he didn't say much, just smiled and motioned me to find a seat to sit down.

There happened to be an empty chair next to the old lady, so I went in and sat down beside her.

The old man sang hard, but for some reason, the singing voice gradually became more ethereal and ethereal.

Even though I was sitting in the courtyard, the uncle's voice seemed to be coming from far away, and the more I tried to concentrate on listening, the more indistinct the voice became.

My consciousness gradually became drowsy, and my eyelids were so sleepy that I just wanted to fall asleep.

Fortunately, it exudes a touch of coolness, which wakes up my chaotic consciousness.

After I came back to my senses, I had suspicions in my heart, and I started to be cautious, and said to the old lady next to me: "Grandma, what song is the uncle singing!"

The old lady didn't respond, she was motionless.

I thought the old lady couldn't hear clearly because of her bad ears, so I repeated it again, but the old lady still didn't respond at all.

I frowned slightly, and raised my head sideways to look at the old lady beside me.

It was this one glance that immediately made my hair stand on end.

The old lady sitting next to me is clearly a puppet.

This puppet is very real, except for the lack of expression, it is almost exactly the same as a real person. At first, its back was facing me, which made me mistakenly think it was a real person.

I shuddered all over, and after I realized it, I suddenly thought of what Grandma Liu said to me.

If you see a puppet in the village, you must send the puppet to the Dragon King Temple.

And I also told me that puppets don't know how to eat. If I see puppets eating, I must act as if I didn't see anything.

At this time, the old man finished singing the opera, and when he raised his head, his cloudy and dull eyes were on me.

He stared at me blankly with his sunken eyes, and said to me with a smile: "Little girl, are you a foreigner who just came from outside?"

When I was at the old village head's house just now, although many old people came, their faces were all unfamiliar, and I couldn't remember them.

I nodded slightly and said yes.

The old man smiled and said, "Why did you come here? This village is not peaceful!"

I swallowed, and prevaricated: "I heard that there is a Dragon King Temple in this village that is very effective, so I came here to worship the temple."

The old man didn't continue talking, he looked me up and down, and asked me: "Little girl, now that I have finished listening to the song, can I ask you to do something for me?"

I asked suspiciously, "What?"

The old man continued, "Can I trouble you to take her to the Dragon King Temple?"

With a chill behind my back, I said with some fear: "Master, why did the village send puppets to the Dragon King Temple?"

Unexpectedly, after the old man heard my words, his expression suddenly became dumbfounded, and he said suspiciously, "What puppet?"

Hearing what the old man said, I turned my head abruptly, and my eyes widened in disbelief.

The old lady, who was supposed to be a puppet, turned into a living person at this moment, still sitting on the stool, but she was very numb, with a dull expression like a machine.

As the old man looked over, the old lady turned her neck a little stiffly, grinning and said hoarsely: "Little girl, I have trouble with my legs and feet, please."

Seeing this scene in front of me, I couldn't help being dumbfounded.

It was obviously a puppet just now, why did it suddenly change.

wrong!

I took two steps back slightly, and I was thinking about what happened when I came here just now in my head.

Seeing my appearance, the old man said with a bad face: "If the little girl is not willing, then forget it."

I turned around quickly in my head and thought of a countermeasure.

There was something very wrong with this old lady, but in retrospect, the whole village had actually become quite queer.

The longer I stay in this kind of place, the more I will have long nights and dreams, maybe something will happen.

In addition, since I came to this village, I feel a little groggy. I'm not sure if it's because I've been blinded just now.

However, so what if there is a problem.

When I came here, I had already made plans, so I simply followed the old man's wishes and sent this old lady to the Dragon King Temple.

Coming into this village, since last night, I have been feeling that someone in the village is watching me. If I go to the Dragon King Temple secretly by myself, I will be suspected if I am noticed.

But now there is a legitimate reason to send this old lady there.
