After seeing the scene inside the door, I was able to confirm that Zhang Mingyu was indeed here. What I needed to determine now was whether what I saw on the other side of the door was real or just my hallucination.
I prefer it to be my imagination.
Because if it is not an illusion, the feeling of being unable to touch or set foot on is real. It will be very difficult for me to really find Zhang Mingyu.
I was in Badong Village at that time, and I failed to prevent Zhang Mingyu from leaving.
Now here we are.
I want to take him back.
Even if I can't take him back, I still want to ask what happened to him.
Soon I saw the temple.
Just like the first time I saw this temple, I felt a deep and mysterious feeling just standing outside. The difference is that this temple seemed to have undergone some changes.
Although the dead souls from the Dead Soul River came here, they did not pour into the temple. Instead, they stayed ten meters away from the temple and did not go any further.
They seem to be worshiping something in the temple, and also like fear.
It wasn't until a thunder suddenly sounded out of thin air, and black thunder struck at the gathering souls at the same time, that I finally saw the scene in the temple clearly.
That's a statue.
It's just that the statue is not standing inside the temple, but standing on the eaves of the temple, and the black thunder appears from that statue.
When I looked at the statue, my mood suddenly became complicated.
"Zhang Mingyu?"
"Is that you?"
I took a deep breath and walked over, and as I got closer, the black thunder on the statue seemed to become much stronger at this moment, but the thunder did not hit me, but kept coming.
Blast at those dead souls.
But what I don't understand is that the souls of the dead are constantly disappearing under the thunder, but the souls that have gathered seem to have no fear and are still gathering without fear of death.
I even saw that some have reached the level of ghosts or even higher levels, but they still came here, as if under those black thunders, their departure was a relief for them.
Not long after, I came to the temple, and when I raised my eyes, I could see the whole statue.
I stared at the statue blankly.
In terms of appearance, he is very similar to Zhang Mingyu, but he is a little more dignified than Zhang Mingyu.
There is a beast on the statue's clothes.
I originally thought that it might be the image of Tai Chi, but it was not, but a fierce tiger. The tiger roared, and black thunder seemed to be spit out from the tiger's mouth.
"Is that you?"
I looked at the statue and asked, but when I wanted to go to the eaves, I suddenly heard a rustling sound, and faintly, I felt a figure looking at me.
I looked over subconsciously.
The old woman was standing in front of me at some point, and beside her, there was a dog.
Tai Chi?
I chased her, but this time the old woman didn't seem to have any intention of running away. When she saw me chasing her, she just turned around and walked slowly towards the temple.
However, when I arrived at the temple, I was about to speak, but the scene inside completely stunned me.
The old woman was kneeling on the futon. Tai Chi was no longer beside her, but appeared on the altar table in front of her. On the altar table, there was a white coffin.
When I looked at the coffin, my heart lifted up subconsciously.
"Zhang Mingyu?"
"What did you do to him?"
I looked at the old woman.
The old woman did not answer me. She just took three incense sticks from the offering table, lit them and inserted them on the incense burner in front of the white coffin. She then gently touched her body and lay on the white coffin.
After a moment of Tai Chi, which seemed very weak, he slowly spoke.
"You're still here."
I frowned and said: "I don't care why you appear here, tell me what happened to him, otherwise, no matter you are a human or a ghost..."
"Are you going to kill me?" The old woman interrupted me with a calm voice.
I was speechless for a moment.
She chuckled softly, her voice was old, but it contained some strange emotions that I couldn't put into words.
"He's fine."
"It's just that you can't take him away now."
"What if I have to take him away?" I asked.
"You can't take it away."
"He won't go with you either." The old woman shook her head, then pulled out the three half-burned incense sticks from the incense burner, and handed them to me.
"This is what he left for you."
"When you ring the bells, you can light one of them to protect yourself from the effects of the bells."
"When you find the fifth coffin, you can light the second one, which will help you awaken the ninth path to invite the gods."
"When you return to Fengling Village, you can light the third one."
"The Huangquan Road in Fenling Village can be destroyed."
I looked at the three incense sticks in a daze for a while.
She actually knows everything?
I hesitated for a moment and took the three sticks of incense.
"Who are you anyway?"
I asked.
At this moment, I had no idea of taking action. Just based on these few words she said, I was sure that what she said was true.
I just don’t understand. These three incense sticks were clearly lit by her just now. Why were they left to me by Zhang Mingyu?
Also, what is the relationship between her and Zhang Mingyu?
I still remember that when I first met her, she was worshiping the fallen Fengling Village City God on the Ghost Mountain. At that time, I knew from Liu Yunsheng’s words that she was not simple.
Later, I visited the Chenghuang Temple on Ghost Mountain again and left the coffin there according to what she said. I got a book "Tongshen" in the secondary hall of the Chenghuang Temple.
It was also "Tongshen" that made me understand the path I wanted to take.
If I think about it carefully, she seemed to be my guide in the beginning.
I looked at her with mixed feelings for a moment.
"I'm just an ordinary old woman."
"Is he really okay?" I was silent for a while and looked at the white coffin. I wanted to open the coffin, but I endured it.
"If you can return to Niang'er Village, he will be fine."
After the old woman finished speaking, she kowtowed to the white coffin and slowly stood up.
"If you can't go back to Niang'er Village, when will the soul of this dead soul disappear completely, he will come looking for you."
"Where are you."
"He will take you home wherever he goes."
When I heard this sentence, my body trembled violently, and at the same time, I felt a little sour in my heart for no reason.
But before I had time to ask, she had already stood up and walked out of the temple, and her figure disappeared in front of me in the blink of an eye.
disappeared together.
And the white coffin.
and Tai Chi.
In front of me, there was only one altar table left.
There is no statue on the altar table.
There was only one jade plaque left, with only two simple words on it.
Heavenly Master.
That is the symbol of Tianshi Mountain.
