Strange Sequence: Longevity from Guoshu

In the middle of a burning mountain forest, a Taoist temple appeared intact on the way to the breakout.

When everyone sees the Taoist temple, their first reaction is that there is definitely something wrong with this Taoist temple. When such things are encountered, they must hide as far away as possible.

But at this time, everyone's physical strength has reached the limit, and there are monsters chasing behind them, leaving them no choice. With Wang Hai's order, everyone can only bite the bullet and rush towards the Taoist temple.

Wang Hai, who was running at the front of the team, rushed to the Taoist temple gate and found that the gate was not closed, and there was a gap between the two doors.

There was no time for Wang Hai to think too much. He raised his hand and pushed the door open, revealing a courtyard inside. Behind it was a dark hall. The three doors of the hall opened outward, and a dark statue of a god was enshrined inside.

As soon as the statue appeared in Wang Hai's sight, a chill ran down his back, and goosebumps suddenly appeared.

But he still forced himself to lead the team in,

Everyone followed in, and the last two team members quickly closed the door after entering.

Then everyone nervously pointed their guns at the temple door and backed away slowly.

As the door closed, it seemed that all the noisy sounds outside were blocked out. Except for everyone's breathing, no sound could be heard in the courtyard.

After waiting for half a minute, there was still no movement outside the door.

This Taoist temple is indeed extraordinary. After entering, the monsters did not chase after them.

But all monsters and monsters know that this Taoist temple is inaccessible. When they enter, it is no less than drinking poison to quench their thirst. They have just left the wolf's den and entered the tiger's den.

Wang Hai winked at his deputy and asked him to go over and take a look at the situation outside. He couldn't stay here for long and should get out as soon as he had the chance.

The deputy walked to the door, pushed it open, and peered through the crack with one eye.

The place where the eyes came into view was a blood-red color, and nothing could be seen clearly.

"Could it be that the fire has spread? But why can't I hear any sound? Nor can I feel the temperature of the flames?"

Just when he was confused, a black dot suddenly appeared from the middle of the blood in front of him, and then the dot began to rotate.

The deputy's head jerked back. There was clearly an eye outside the door. He was looking at that bloody eye just now!

At this moment, a huge force suddenly came from outside the door, trying to push the door inward. The deputy quickly pushed against the door with both hands. As a dark warrior, he felt the extremely powerful force behind the door as soon as he pushed against the door.

"Quick, help!"

The deputy held the door with all his strength for a moment. When the comrades behind him saw that something was wrong, the three of them rushed forward and blocked the door.

As the four people exerted force at the same time, the gap that had been opened by the deputy was finally pushed back by them.

As the door closes, the power behind the door disappears. The door clearly has no latch, but simply closing it can prevent the thing outside the door from entering.

After several people closed the door, they stepped back. The deputy said: "The monsters should be surrounded outside. For some reason, they are blocked by the door and cannot come in. We need to open the door to enter!"

"It's not just the gate that's problematic!" Wang Hai frowned and looked at the two or three-meter walls on both sides, "It's the Taoist temple that keeps them out!"

"Captain, what should we do now?"

The other team members said.

Wang Hai turned around and looked at the main hall behind him and said: "Recover your strength on the spot first, wait until dawn, and then check the situation!"

After hearing the words, everyone began to rest in batches. As time went by, the light of the Hercules Talisman printed by Renzeng on Zhuocuo's back began to fade, and eventually disappeared completely. At the same time, the extra strength on his body also disappeared. .

He immediately collapsed on the ground, gasping for air.

"Hurry up and recover!"

Renzeng silently sat cross-legged next to him and said. Ever since he entered this gym, Renzeng has been feeling a chill coming from the bottom of his heart. His intuition told him that something dangerous would definitely happen in the future. You need to quickly recover your physical strength.

Wang Hai also sat on the ground facing the main hall, staring at the statue disappearing in the darkness, not knowing what he was thinking in his mind.

At this time, the courtyard became extremely quiet, allowing him to clearly hear the beating of his heart. He glanced at the combat watch on his wrist. It was ten o'clock at night, and there was still a long period of time before dawn. time.

"Now we can only take one step at a time. I hope that after dawn, the monsters blocking the door will disperse."

The second hand was ticking, and a cold night wind gradually began to blow in the courtyard.

Wang Hai felt that as the temperature of his body passed quickly, his hands and feet began to become cold.

Wang Hai immediately wanted to stand up, but at this moment, he suddenly found that he was unable to move, and the instructions from his brain could not make his body move at all.

The connection between the two seemed to be suddenly cut off by something, and his brain began to become dizzy.

"not good!"

Wang Hai was shocked, and he kept exerting force in his mind, trying to make his body move. Finally, when Wang Hai felt that his head was going to explode.

He felt the surroundings suddenly light up, and then his eyes suddenly opened, and the drowsiness in his mind gradually dissipated. Only then did he realize that he had fallen asleep without knowing when.

There was a huge wave in his heart. He definitely did not fall asleep naturally. When performing the task, his nerves were extremely tense and it was impossible to fall asleep. There was some force that affected me and forced me to fall asleep!
He quickly stood up and turned around to warn his team members. However, when he turned back, he found the shadow of his team members behind him. Even the shadow of the gate was gone. There were only a few dead black plants in sight. Pine tree remains.

He quickly turned back to look ahead, and sure enough, the main hall had disappeared, replaced by a loess path covered with dead grass on both sides.

"what's going on!"

Wang Hai encountered this kind of thing in vain and became confused. His eyebrows were raised high, his eyes widened, and his arms began to tremble unconsciously.

But his rich combat experience told him that the more he encountered this kind of situation, the more he had to calm down. He took deep breaths repeatedly to gradually regain his calm. Looking around, he found that he was now deep in a dead black pine forest, with an incomparable sky. It was dark, with half a waning moon.

He looked at his combat watch and found that it was already eleven fifty, "Did I sleep for so long just now?"

He thought quickly in his mind for a while and walked forward along the path. He couldn't act rashly in this situation. Since he no longer knew where he was, instead of running around aimlessly, he might as well walk along the path and take a look. Where does it lead to.

Wang Hai walked for a while, his eyes constantly scanning the pine forests on both sides, his body slightly bent, alert to attacks that might appear at any time.

However, nothing appeared in the pine forest. After walking for a while, a black figure suddenly appeared on the road ahead.

Wang Hai stopped and pointed his gun at the black figure, his finger already on the trigger.

After waiting for a long time, the black shadow was motionless, as if it was not a living thing. Wang Hai tried to take a step, but the black shadow had no movement. As he got closer, he finally saw clearly that the black shadow turned out to be a grave bag.

There is a circular space in the forest around the tomb, and there is still a path extending forward behind the tomb.

Wang Hai walked to the tomb bag and saw that the color of the soil in the tomb was different from that of the surrounding soil. It was clearly that it had just been dug recently. There was a blank spiritual tablet with a black wooden sign in front of it.

Wang Hai kicked the tomb tablet over and looked up. He found that there was no name on the tomb bag owner and it was empty.

Have a spiritual tablet but no name written on it?

Although Wang Hai was surprised, since there was no danger, he ignored it, walked around the tomb and continued walking along the path.

Wang Hai didn't know that a strange scene appeared on the grave bag behind him. Blood began to seep out of the grave bag and continued to flow out. When the blood flowed to the spiritual tablet that he had kicked over, It was actually absorbed by the spirit card, and the entire spirit card glowed with a layer of blood-red light.

On the originally nameless tablet, four big characters in red gradually appeared: Tomb of Wang Hai.

At this time, Wang Hai had already walked deeper into the path. At this time, a grave bag appeared in front of his grave again, but outside the grave bag, a dead man's arm covered with mud stretched out from the inside, like a dead branch. The same thing was inserted into the grave, twisted and stiff.

"This is!"

When Wang Hai saw the arm, he quickly stepped forward to take a closer look, and then his expression changed drastically. The tactical watch worn on this wrist was exactly the same as the one on his hand. He was clearly one of his team members!
Judging from the skin color on his arm, it was obvious that he had just died, and the second hand of the watch on his wrist was still moving continuously.

Wang Hai grabbed the hand and tried to pull it out of the grave bag.

However, as soon as he grabbed those hands, he felt a bone-chilling coldness coming over him. Then, the five fingers of the dead hand clasped together and grabbed his wrist tightly. Then Wang Hai felt a powerful force coming. , to pull myself down.

Wang Hai already knew at this time that the team member's body had undergone horrific changes, and he grabbed the handle of the rifle hanging on his chest with his other hand.

Zhuo Cuo trembled all over and opened his eyes suddenly. He heard bursts of rapid gunfire in his ears. The gunfire rang for a few seconds and then stopped quickly, and the place returned to deathly silence.

"No, there is a situation!"

Zhuocuo suddenly jumped up from the ground and shouted a warning, but after he looked around, he realized that his comrades around him had disappeared, and he was the only one left in the courtyard.

Zhuo Cuo cursed himself in his mind, "You can actually fall asleep in this situation! Damn it!"

However, this sleep allowed his body to finally regain some strength.

He rushed to the gate and rushed to the place where the gunshots were heard. However, the gate that could be easily pushed open before could not move at all no matter how hard Zhuo Cuo tried.

When he found that the door was impassable, he was about to climb over the wall. The top of the wall was only about three meters high. Zhuo Cuo jumped up and put one arm on the top of the wall. Then he exerted his strength and climbed over the top of the wall.

After landing, he looked up and found that the small courtyard in the Taoist temple appeared in front of him.

"What's going on? Didn't I dig out from here just now?"

Such a strange thing made Zhuo Cuo rub his eyes, suspecting that he was dazzled. But after rubbing it and looking again, the scene in front of him remained unchanged, which immediately gave Zhuo Cuo a chill.

Zhuocuo still didn't give up, so he turned around and climbed over the wall again. The scene remained unchanged, it was still this courtyard.

"In that case!"

Zhuo Cuo did not climb over the wall this time. Instead, he lay directly on the wall and looked outside. What he saw made his face distorted, "It's still the same!"

He looked back behind him, then turned to look ahead and compared them, and found that the two sides were exactly the same without any difference.

As soon as Zhuo Cuo let go of his grip and let his body fall to the ground, he felt his scalp numb. This situation was even weirder than that of Nige Temple at that time.

"This is trapping me!"

Zhuocuo thought to himself, and then looked at the hall in front of him that enshrined the statues that Wang Hai had avoided before.

"It seems that if you want to get out, you have to look inside!"

Zhuocuo's previous experience in Tibet taught him that when faced with danger, he had to stay still and wait for death. Only by taking the initiative can he find a way out.

So after Zhuocuo understood his situation, he walked straight towards the main hall.

After entering the main hall, you saw a statue of a god standing in the darkness directly opposite. There was an offering table in front of the statue, and there were two black candles on both sides of the offering table.Further ahead is a square box painted with red paint, with the words "merit box" written on it, which is no different from ordinary Taoist temples.

However, after Zhuo Cuo glanced ahead, he lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

The thick bluestone tile floor is covered with a layer of dust. It should be that no one has entered for a long time. This is normal. After all, this Taoist temple is located deep in the mountains.

But as luck would have it, besides his own footprints on the ground, there was also a string of fresh footprints that had obviously just been stepped on.

"Could it be that a previous teammate got in first?"

Zhuo Cuo looked forward along the footprints and found that the footprints went straight to the altar in front, and no other footprints appeared after that.

"What does this mean? Could it be that you went to this altar and never came down again?"

The appearance of this strange series of footprints frightened Zhuo Cuo so much that he had to take a closer look at the altar. He saw that the area of ​​the altar was not large and there was no place for people to hide. In this case, wouldn't it mean that , is this set of footprints from that statue?
Did you just walk up there?

When Zhuo Cuo thought about this, he looked at the statue again and immediately felt that the statue was extremely weird, and he felt like it would fly towards him in the next second.

This statue is entirely made of clay, because Zhuo Cuo knew nothing about Taoist culture and could not identify which deity was enshrined on it.

But as long as he knew that the statue might move and run around, he would not risk his life and ran forward to check it out. As he walked towards the Zhuocuo Statue Hall, most of his attention stayed on the statue, checking Is there any other way out of this place?

Sure enough, he saw that there was still space behind the wall where the statue was leaning. He walked over and found a black coffin parked behind it.Opposite the coffin is an open wooden door with a patio behind it.

There was actually a coffin parked in the Taoist temple, and it was parked right behind the statue. This unnatural sight even made Zhuocuo, a Tibetan, find it outrageous.

But compared with what happened before, Zhuocuo was no longer surprised, as long as there was a way.

He quickly walked into the corridor next to the patio and walked to the corridor on the right.

The floor of the corridor was still the same kind of bluestone tile floor, but there was some black stuff stuck to the floor. When I got closer, I found that it was dried blood.

The first room in the corridor on the right is closer to the patio, so the door and windows can still be seen clearly.

The wooden hollow windows look very retro, and you can see the situation inside with a slight probe at the door.

The room was very empty, with only an old round table, a cabinet, and a canopy bed. There were quilts on the bed, but they were all covered with a layer of dust.

"A very normal room." Zhuocuo thought to himself after looking at it.

He continued walking forward and came to the door of the second room.

There is a brass lock on the wooden door, which locks the room and cannot be opened. What's more strange is that this room has no windows and the walls are intact. It seems that no windows were designed for this room when the house was built.

Zhuo Cuo felt strange and stretched out his hand to test. Then his expression changed and he suddenly took his hand back.

As soon as his hand touched the wooden door, he suddenly felt a chill, and then the energy and blood in his body began to surge towards the wooden door. Fortunately, he stopped his hand in time.

"There must be something terrible here!"

Zhuocuo immediately thought of the two possessed monks who were restricted and sealed in Nige Temple. Could it be that there was something similar here?
"Look inside again."

He moved on.

The third room also has no windows, and the door is locked with a copper lock. Then the fifth and sixth rooms are all the same.

The corridor became darker and darker as he walked forward, and in the end Zhuo Cuo had to take out his tactical flashlight and turn on the lighting.

The further he walked, the more he felt something was wrong. Rooms kept appearing in front of him, which were beyond the normal layout of the building.

"An endless corridor." Zhuo Cuo couldn't help but have this idea at this time.

He stopped immediately, not daring to go any further.

Then he immediately began to turn back.

In a forest of dead black pines.

There was a rustle in the pine forest.The night wind blew the tree trunks and shook the entire forest.

In the woods, the deputy walked anxiously with a flashlight.

He was lost, lost in this pine forest.

After he woke up, in the same shock, he turned around and ran away. He thought that he must have been targeted by some kind of terrifying Weird. The reason why he was not dead yet was probably because Weird was still attacking his teammates and could attack him at any time. will find him, so now is his most precious time to escape, and he cannot waste a moment.

After running for a while, he found a grave in front of him. When he felt something was wrong, he planned to go around it through the pine forest next to it.

However, after running into the pine forest, he soon found that he could not escape.

A section of the road that was not too far at first turned out to be inaccessible in half a day, and even if we turned back the same way we came, we could no longer find the trail we were on.

Going around in a circle.

He was completely lost in this place, unable to leave or go back.

"A ghost is attacking the wall?" He thought in his mind, "If it is really a ghost attacking the wall, then unless I find the ghosts in this forest and deal with them, I will be trapped here alive."

The deputy thought with a livid face.

At this time, he seemed to have been abandoned by the whole world. There was only deathly silence and indescribable weirdness.

Suddenly there was a burst of gunfire from the front, "It's a teammate!"

He was immediately ecstatic and hurried towards the sound of gunshots, but after running for a while, he suddenly found three vague figures walking towards him in the forest in front of him.

The deputy immediately stopped, looked hesitant for a moment, then turned and ran away.

Although his strength is not bad, in his current state, if he encounters three strange things at once, he will be looking for death if he fights head-on.

However, he turned around and ran not far before he stopped again and his eyes suddenly shrank.

The blurry black figure in the distance appeared again. This time the figure did not move, but stood there quietly.

But this time the number became a bit too much, and the black humanoid shadow outlines actually reached an astonishing six.

Six strange figures were scattered in front of them.

"Change another direction." Cold sweat instantly covered the deputy's forehead.

But soon, strange figures appeared again in Old Lin in front of him. These figures had their backs to him and were leaning against a tree. They were also motionless.

No.

Not without movement.

The figures leaning behind the tree seemed to have discovered him at this moment, and they twisted their necks strangely and looked behind them.
One by one, lifeless and cold heads poked out from behind the tree.

One after another, so densely packed that it was hard to count how many heads poked out in an instant, as if there was something behind every tree, or perhaps each tree represented a ghost.

A cold wind blows.

The deputy, who was covered in cold sweat, felt as if he had entered an ice cellar.

This is not a pine forest. This is simply a ghost forest.

"It's over."

The deputy was desperate at this point.

He no longer struggled to escape, because there was no way to go. The forest had not yet found a way out. It was surrounded by ghosts and it was impossible to leave alive.

The terrifying ghost figure appeared from behind the tree and walked towards him.

in all directions.

keep emerging.

soon.

There was a desperate scream before death in the forest, and then everything became calm again.

The strange figure in the forest gradually disappeared again, seeming to be hidden, and here was another dead pine forest.

But what no one noticed was that there was a tree on the outskirts of this forest at some point. Moreover, this tree was a little immature. It seemed that it had just grown up not long ago. It was not as dark as other trees and looked slightly hairy. White, more obvious from a distance.

A cold wind blows.

This tree swayed along with the other old trees, making a rustling sound.

At this time, Zhuocuo was turning back, and the silence in the darkness was terrifying.

He glanced at the tactical watch that had been distributed to him before and found that it was exactly 59:[-], and the hour hand was still ticking. Finally, the hour hand, minute hand, and second hand overlapped, and it was [-] o'clock in the morning!
At this time, in the deserted courtyard, the door that Zhuo Cuo could not push open suddenly opened, a gust of night wind flowed in, and the two black candles on the altar table suddenly spontaneously ignited, giving off a green light.

Zhuo Cuo had already reached the first room when he suddenly heard a very small sound coming from the coffin in front of him.

It looked like someone was scratching the lid of the coffin with his fingernails.

At the same time, a powerful sense of fear came from the bottom of his heart.

"The things inside are going to crawl out!"

The movement in the coffin became louder and louder, and Zhuo Cuo saw the coffin lid suddenly shake, and then streams of asphalt-like black mucus flowed out from inside.

"Run, don't run into me! If you do, you'll die!"

Zhuocuo made a quick judgment, but where should he run at this time?
He took a quick look around and saw the only unlocked room around him. His eyes lit up and he quickly pushed the door open. He pushed it open smoothly.

Then he dodged, entered, and closed the door! (End of chapter)
