Chapter 53 Beauty Snake

Maybe they knew that what they did was too outrageous.

The remaining men in the village came to the Taoist priest one after another. As a result, the place where the Taoist priest originally lived was already empty. It seemed that they had known that things would turn out like this.

Suddenly, all the men in the village locked their doors tightly and did not dare to go out.

Finally, the village chief took the lead and found a monk from another nearby temple.

When he heard about what was happening in the village, the monk was not willing to help.

In the end, there was no other way. The leading village chief took the remaining men in the village to the temple to beg. After an unknown amount of time, the monk finally agreed to help.

In the mural, a young novice took out a red bead and looked down at the men kneeling on the ground, as if he was explaining something.

As if they had found a treasure, the people in the village quickly hung the red beads on the top of the ancient pagoda. Finally, just in case the evil spirits inside came out to cause trouble again, they decided to lock the door with chains.

The mural ends here and there is nothing else to follow.

But there seemed to be a lot of brown scratches on the wall, as if someone had tried to scrape off the mural with strong hatred.

After Qi Guanshan saw the mural, he didn't know what to say.

Although he is also a man, he feels that what those people do is not what humans do.

Fu Zhaozhao stared at the mural and seemed to notice something strange.

Among the several murals where people appeared, there was a depiction of a young child. The child seemed to have a certain status in the village, standing behind the village chief.

In other words, the leading village chief is most likely his parent.

Like the process of making the beautiful snake, there is even a little boy involved.

Just as she was thinking about what was wrong, a black shadow flashed behind her.

Fu Zhaozhao felt something was wrong and quickly turned around to shine a flashlight.

All you can see is darkness and the gentle swaying of water waves.

She looked around carefully, but there was nothing wrong, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, there was a feeling of being tapped on the shoulder from behind.

Fu Zhaozhao turned around reflexively.

The flashlight shone on Zhang Quan's mask. Zhang Quan was so frightened that he quickly raised his hands to show his innocence.

Seeing that Fu Zhaozhao was overreacting, Qi Guanshan asked her what was wrong with gestures.

Fu Zhaozhao waved his hand, saying it was nothing, and then asked Zhang Quan in sign language what he wanted from him.

Zhang Quan pointed to the top of the ancient pagoda, and then made a swimming gesture.

But the posture looked a bit strange, like the movements of molluscs swimming in water.

Zhang Quan's expression was a bit too abstract. Qi Guan Shan looked confused, obviously not knowing what he meant.

Fu Zhaozhao quickly thought of the figure he had just seen.

She then asked the other party with gestures, was that thing swimming up there?

Zhang Quan immediately nodded excitedly, saying that was what he meant.

The two of them went back and forth and communicated completely without words; Qi Guan Shan, who was miserable, didn't understand at all and stared at them eagerly.

After the exchange, Fu Zhaozhao pointed to Qi Guanshan, who was still unclear about the situation, and pointed at him again, meaning to ask him to follow him up.

Qi Guanshan understood this movement, nodded and quickly followed. The ancient tower is in the shape of a spiral and does not look very high from the outside. However, when you climb and swim inside, you will find that it is actually quite useless.

While swimming up the stairs, Fu Zhaozhao noticed that there were many traces of things being dragged along the stone stairs.

It inevitably reminded her of some more terrifying scenes.

I don’t know how long I swam, but the light got darker and darker, and the windows on the wall became smaller and fewer as you went up.

Just when the three of them felt that the stairs were a little too long, they reached the top.

To be precise, there is a layer of flat and thick stones on top, and there is no door as expected.

Fu Zhaozhao took the flashlight and shined it at the top of his head - he saw a piece of white stone hanging firmly above, as if telling the three people in front of him that there was no way to go up.

Qi Guanshan reached out and patted the stone above his head in disbelief.

However, no miracle occurred, and the rocks remained rocks.

Then he knocked around again, as if trying to find some weak spot. He always felt that there should be a place to go up.

At this moment, Zhang Quan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly pulled his arms.

The two turned to look at him.

Zhang Quan quickly pointed to the uppermost position. There seemed to be some dark things swaying back and forth with the water.

Fu Zhaozhao swayed over, stretched out his hand and tugged at the pile of black things.

After a moment, she let go of her hand with an extremely ugly expression, letting the black thing swim elsewhere with the water.

Qi Guanshan quickly asked her what was wrong, and Fu Zhaozhao made gestures, but he failed to understand.

After a few times, Fu Zhaozhao said that he would talk about it after he got out.

Only then did Qi Guanshan have to let go of his hand.

The dark mass just now gave her an idea, and she groped along the thin slit above, seemingly looking for something.

After a while, her movements finally stopped.

Then Fu Zhaozhao waved to the other two people and asked them to come over.

Then the three of them used water to pull the stone down with all their strength. The water suddenly became turbid, and the stone that had been tightly closed was pulled down, and a large space above it suddenly became empty.

Only then did Qi Guanshan notice that there was a rusty handle on the edge of the stone. It was probably from being soaked in the lake for too long and he couldn't see it at first glance.

However, it seems that the people who designed this floor in the past wanted to allow people from outside to enter, but people inside could not come out on their own initiative, so they deliberately designed it like this.

After the surrounding water returned to calm, the three of them climbed up one after another.

Unexpectedly, the top and bottom seemed to be two spaces.

Above the rocks is a dry floor, and below is a deep lake.

After climbing up, Fu Zhaozhao took off the mask, took a rare breath and looked around.

Qi Guanshan, who followed behind, seemed to be exhausted and took several breaths. During this period, he looked at Fu Zhaozhao with envy for a while.

After all, there are very few people in Midu who are as physically fit as Fu Zhaozhao. Even people like him who exercise regularly will inevitably be out of breath when passing through these places with huge differences in water pressure. Adapt.

What was even more unexpected was that Zhang Quan, who was following them, also took off his mask like a normal person, and at the same time looked at the hole he had just come up from, as if he was studying something.

After taking a few breaths, Qi Guanshan patted Fu Zhaozhao's hand and asked her, "What did you see in the water just now?!"
