Cthulhu

Chapter 493 There is an extra footprint, there is a ghost
"You are not afraid of killing so many people on the battlefield, how can you be afraid of these skeletons that don't even have flesh?" Cheng Cheng simply put her off his back and walked towards those skeletons.

Shangguan Feifei seems to be a little afraid of this kind of place, women are always a little afraid of such gloomy things.Adding that she was beside Cheng Cheng, she acted even more obviously, she quickly caught up with him and hugged his arms, and walked towards the pile of skeletons.

The total number of bones piled up randomly should be hundreds or even thousands. No wonder it is called the Ten Thousand Temples.I saw that there were many spider webs wrapped around the skeletons, and some of the skeletons were corroded so brittle that they should be easily broken off with one foot.

"How did these people die? Why is there no coffin? Did they also die in war?" Looking at the densely packed skeletons, Shangguan Feifei asked in a low voice.

"It doesn't look like it. If the people who died in the war should have weapons and armor left behind, there is nothing here except skeletons. I think it must have been a plague or a natural disaster a long time ago, and died. Many villagers couldn't bury them one by one because there were too many dead, so they raised money to build such a temple for thousands of people, and piled up all the corpses here." Seeing these stacked skeletons , Cheng Cheng boldly guessed, but what is certain is that they are not soldiers who died in battle.

"Well, it makes sense." After nodding, Shangguan Feifei also felt that Cheng Cheng's deduction was right.

"Let's go inside and have a look, and find a place to rest." Cheng Sheng didn't have the time to study the origin of the skeleton here, so he walked directly into the house.

Shangguan Feifei hugged his arms, also opened her big shining eyes, looked left and right, and then walked towards the house.For the princess who was used to living in the magnificent palace, living in this kind of place where the dead were released was simply unimaginable.

Even the door of the room was smashed by someone, new and old spider webs were entangled on the rotten door frame, and there were two spotted spiders lying on it, waiting for their prey to fall into the web.Cheng Cheng took the Seven Star Broken Soul Sword in his hand, and twisted all the spider webs at the door around the sword.

He took Shangguan Feifei and walked into the house, and saw that there were still many coffins piled up in the house. They should be people with a certain status, otherwise they would not be able to enter the coffins, just like the skeletons piled on the open-air dam. Throw it on the ground and you're done.

"Why is there a bed there? Could it be that there are still people living here?" Suddenly, Shangguan Feifei pointed to another door and exclaimed, and at the same time hugged Cheng Cheng's arms tightly, and shrank him to the back.

The room was already gloomy, and with the addition of coffins everywhere, it created an even more eerie atmosphere. Shangguan Feifei's sudden exclamation was quite scary, and Cheng Cheng was taken aback.He took a long breath and said, "Why are you so surprised? It's scary."

"Are you afraid too?" Just now Cheng Cheng wanted to live in this ancestral hall, seeing that he was also frightened at this time, Shangguan Feifei also found a reason to attack him.

"Haven't you heard that people scare people and scare people to death?"

"Humph"

Cheng Cheng ignored Shangguan Feifei and looked into the room she pointed out just now. Sure enough, there was indeed a bed, and the bed curtain was still white, as white as the white skull on the ground, which looked a bit weird.

"Hey, hey, do you think there are really fierce ghosts here? Otherwise, why would you put a bed here?" Shangguan Feifei seemed to be really scared, and looked at the coffin in the room twice, with a gloomy expression. asked the taste.

"Don't be afraid if there are ghosts, ghosts are not necessarily our opponents, just go and have a look and you will know." In fact, Cheng Cheng also felt a little nervous in his heart, logically speaking, there shouldn't be such a thing as a bed in the Ten Thousand Temples.For the sake of a man's dignity, he had no choice but to go and find out in front of Shangguan Feifei.

"Ah, I think it's better not to go there again. It's gloomy here, and I always feel that it's not suitable for people to live in. We'd better go outside. Even sleeping in the open is better than here." This is really not a place for people to stay. Shangguan Feifei called again It's time to get up and retreat.

"Don't worry, there's nothing scary about the undead." As Cheng Cheng said, he continued to walk towards the room. Shangguan Feifei couldn't resist, so she could only follow along.

When I came to that room, I didn't see the coffins that can be seen everywhere in this ancestral hall. There was only one bed in this empty room. The snow-white bed curtain was blown into the room with a gust of draft. The snow-white bed The tent swayed slightly.Not only did it not reduce the fear of the two of them, but it made it even more gloomy.

Apart from the bed, the rest of the room was nothing but dust and cobwebs.

Cheng Cheng thought about everything, but couldn't figure out why there was a bed here, and the bed was empty, with no one at all.Could it be that, as Shangguan Feifei said, there are really people living here?

Impossible, just looking at the thick dust on the floor of the house, it means that no one has lived in it for a long time.Afterwards, Cheng Cheng stepped forward step by step, moved closer to the bed, stretched out his finger and poked at the long snow-white tent.

It's as if you haven't encountered any obstacles, the snow-white bed curtain was easily pierced by Cheng Cheng's fingers, and when he retracted his finger, there was a hole in the bed curtain.

"The curtain seems to have been corroded for a long time, but no one has touched it, so it is well preserved." Although the curtain on this bed is still white, but when you look closely, you can also find that there is something on the curtain. A lot of cobwebs and dust, but it is not so clear to see from a distance.

"Look, there's a dead man over there." Suddenly Shangguan Feifei grabbed Cheng Cheng's hand again and exclaimed loudly.

Following her fingers, I saw that the dead person that Shangguan Feifei pointed to was in a corner. To be precise, it was also a skeleton, but the clothes on the skeleton were still well preserved, unlike those skeleton clothes outside that were exposed to wind and rain. It's all rotten.

Going forward, I saw that the skeleton was still holding a wine jar in his arms, and he must have been an alcoholic in his lifetime.Seeing this, Cheng Cheng's mind suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and he had a new guess: "I know, this drunkard must be the person who guards this Ten Thousand Temples. Someone guards this Ten Thousand Temples. There is a bed."

"That's right."

"So, there must be no ghosts here, and there are ghosts only because of this drunken drunkard. Well, now we can rest here for a night in peace, and then we will go on our way tomorrow." After explaining the origin of this bed, I thought to myself Most of the eerie feeling disappeared, it was obvious that he was scaring himself.Cheng Cheng came to that bed and patted the bed frame twice. Although the bed curtain was rotten and uninhabitable, the bed frame was still strong. He couldn't help but said happily, "It looks like we can still have a bed to sleep in tonight."

Seeing that Cheng Cheng seemed to want to sleep on this bed, Shangguan Feifei shrank her neck in horror, gritted her teeth and said, "Scum, if you want to sleep, you can sleep, you dare to sleep on the bed that the dead have slept on!"

"Who said that the dead can't sleep after sleeping? Besides, I just borrowed this bed frame, can I make my own bed?" Cheng Cheng looked at the drunken drunkard in the corner, and asked with a smile: " You say yes, man?"

"what"

Suddenly, Shangguan Feifei let out another high-pitched scream, causing Cheng Cheng to stagger forward in fright, and bumped his foot against the bed frame of that bed.The bed frame, which felt solid when I slapped it just now, was actually broken by his impact, and then collapsed.

Of course, Cheng Cheng, who had no support, also fell on the rotten bed with inertia, quickly got up, spit two mouthfuls, wiped off the dust on his body, and then said slightly angrily: "I said princess, can you Can't you be more reserved? Don't just scream at every turn? If someone hears it, they really think it's haunted."

"Ghost, ghost, there is a ghost!" Shangguan Feifei didn't seem to hear his complaint, and hurried to his side, hugged his arms tightly, closed her eyes with a look of horror on her face, and said loudly that there was a ghost .

Seeing that Shangguan Feifei didn't seem to be pretending, but really saw something bad, Cheng Cheng also frowned, and asked, "Where is the ghost?"

"The ground, the ground!" Pointing to the ground, he said nervously.

"On the ground?" A big question mark popped up in Cheng Cheng's mind, what the hell would run to the ground?Immediately moved his eyes to the ground, and looked everywhere, except for the drunken man in the corner, there was only the bed that was thrown to pieces by him, where was there any shadow? : "No? Are your eyes blurred?"

"No, footprints on the ground" still didn't dare to open her eyes, she never thought that she, who is not afraid of killing enemies on the battlefield, would be so afraid of such a bleak thing.

Moving his eyes to the ground again, he did see footprints, but what is the connection with ghosts? : "What happened to the footprints?"

"Oh, why are you so stupid? See for yourself, apart from the footprints that the two of us stepped on, how did you get another footprint? It must have been left by a ghost." After patting Cheng Cheng, Shangguan Feifei said anxiously, as if she was blaming him for becoming so stupid all of a sudden.

Grass, is this young master stupid?It's clear that you didn't speak clearly, okay?Cheng Cheng thought unhappily, and moved his eyes to the footprints on the ground. After distinguishing the footprints stepped on by himself and Shangguan Feifei, he really found another unknown footprint!
