black!
It's really dark.
It's like being blind.
But Xu Mo knew that he was not blind, it was just because there was no light around him.
Now he finally knew why Mr. Xuanshan didn't come in. The thing he was afraid of was not the mummy, but the mountain temple itself.
This place is evil.
As for why he was not possessed by evil spirits in the last two visits, the only possibility Xu Mo could think of was that he was a weakling in the first two times, with no internal strength and no cultivation.
"Maybe the weird people here didn't like me at that time, so they treated me like a fart and let me go."
According to this theory, the reason why I hit evil this time is because I have strength?
Should we be happy or sad?
Because this was the first time he encountered this kind of dark situation, Xu Mo was a little panicked at the moment because he didn't know what would happen next and what he would encounter. Unknown terror is the real terror.
Xu Mo thought about it for a while. In this situation, the internal strength he had cultivated would probably not be of much use. How about communicating with the 'Wandering God' again?
What if it comes back?
The main reason is that Xu Mo has nothing to do now. His eyes are now completely dark and he can't see anything. There is really no light at all.
After thinking about it, Xu Mo cleared his throat and began to summon the gods using the 'nightmare language'.
This is similar to 'Hello', 'Hello' and 'Are you weird?'.
Let's see if there is a response.
After that, wait.
One second.
Two seconds.
Three seconds...
Snap!
A hand was placed on Xu Mo's shoulder.
Xu Mo was not surprised but happy.
It must be that his 'Wandering God' is back. At that moment, he repeatedly praised it and said it was done. With his own wandering god around, he could deal with any dangers.
Feeling at ease at the moment, Xu Mo even reached out and patted the hand on his shoulder.
It seems like my brother will leave everything to you.
But when the second hand touched Xu Mo's ankle, he was stunned.
"Brother, is that you?"
Xu Mo asked weakly.
Probably not, who can put one hand on someone else's shoulder and grab their ankle with the other hand, and from different directions.
One in front of you and one behind you.
Before Xu Mo could figure out what was going on, the third hand, the fourth hand, and the fifth hand grabbed his collar, right hand and pants almost at the same time.
My heart, which I had just let go, was hanging again, and the height was even higher than before.
The blood pressure is soaring and the heartbeat is pounding.
There's nothing I can do about it, this thing is so exciting, it's hard not to get excited.
Now even a fool knew something was wrong. Xu Mo thought that his wandering god could not have so many hands, and the hands were of different sizes, and some of them were even hairy.
Obviously not a 'person'.
Then, the sixth hand, the seventh hand...and the thirteenth hand came over. One of them grabbed Xu Mo's neck and touched his thigh.
The next moment, Xu Mo heard a dozen voices.
It's a 'nightmare'.
It was the same as the nightmare words I just said. It was a greeting and a response, but these voices contained a suffocating and terrifying murderous intent.
(twelve)
The gentle breeze mixed with the fragrance of vegetation in the jungle, wrapped in the last ray of tenderness blown from the setting sun, like a girl's gentle little hand, patting Xu Mo's face.
"Why!"
Xu Mo opened his eyes and looked at the Octagonal Pavilion and sighed.
It was a bit frustrating to die this time.
He was beaten by a group of people, and it was pitch dark and he couldn't fight back.
It's so frustrating.
Especially touching one's own thigh with one hand is simply a hooligan act.
This grudge is remembered.
Must report.
But Xu Mo also knew that it would not be easy to recover from this situation.
Just think about it for a moment and you will know that this time you have probably triggered the real weirdness and murderous intention in the mountain temple. Why did Lord Xuanshan never approach the mountain temple in the past? This question now has an answer.
The strange thing hidden in the mountain temple will attack anyone who comes close.
Of course, the person being attacked must have internal strength or be a practitioner of Dharma.
On this point, Xu Mo, who has been to the mountain temple three times, has the best say. He went there when he was nothing and went there when he was successful in cultivation, and the results were completely different.
It is possible that the higher the mana, the more dangerous it is.
Xu Mo felt that there must be a big secret hidden in the mountain temple.
Feeling angry, Xu Mo thought about it for a moment and decided to go see it again.
After coming out of the Octagonal Pavilion, Xu Mo ran towards the mountain temple. The route was already quite familiar. It was still daylight and Xu Mo had already arrived.
This time Xu Mo entered the mountain temple and felt completely different from the previous times.
In the past, I just thought this place was just an abandoned ruined temple. Even if there were mummies, I was just afraid of the mummies and didn't think there was anything wrong with the mountain temple itself.
But now, Xu Mo was in it and felt something strange like never before.
It may also be a psychological effect.
Every plant, tree, brick and tile here feels abnormal.
Think deeper.
It seems that Gensan-kun has occupied Zao Mountain for eighty or ninety years. This is a long time ago. Obviously, the mountain temple existed when Gensan-kun was king and hegemony here, and it must have been built a hundred years ago.
Who would have nothing to do to build a mountain temple in such a deep mountain and old forest?
It's a pity that the statue of the god in the dilapidated temple has been lost, otherwise some clues can be seen.
Time was limited and it was getting dark, so Xu Mo quickly explored the mountain temple.
He had seen the mummy of Taoist Piaoyun many times. This time, Xu Mo thought that there must be a breakthrough.
So I just took off the apricot robe.
"Taoist priest, don't blame me. I just want to see if there are any wounds on your body. I don't mean any blasphemy."
Xu Mo was mumbling something while taking off his clothes.
Sure enough, I found it again.
There is something fishy on the abdomen of the mummy.
Taking a closer look, Xu Mo raised his brows and saw something as big as a palm, half of a baby emerging from the abdomen of the mummy.
Like a deformed monster.
It was also stir-fried, but the head, shoulders, arms, and tiny hook-like fingers were clearly visible.
"What the hell is this? Pregnant?"
Even Xu Mo, who had seen a lot of strange things, couldn't help but feel his scalp numb when he saw this scene. For those who didn't know, he thought Taoist Piaoyun was a woman who was eight months pregnant. For some reason, the fetus in her belly burst and died.
He came out, but only half of his body came out.
Then he suddenly dies and turns into a mummy.
This matter would never have been discovered unless the clothes of the mummy were removed.
Xu Mo took a closer look and found that the mummified baby and the body of Taoist Piaoyun were connected together, which also ruled out the possibility of stuffing the baby in from the outside.
"What kind of practice does Taoist Master do? Can you even conceive a child?"
Xu Mo was puzzled.
During the investigation, the sunlight outside quickly dissipated, and Xu Mo knew that he could not delay any longer.
If you delay any longer, the fake corpse will appear and you will have to strangle yourself to death.
At that moment, Xu Mo rolled up his apricot-colored Taoist clothes and was about to go out. When he saw the lantern next to the mummy, his heart moved, so he picked it up and stepped out.
Outside, the sun sets over the mountains, but the remaining light is not gone.
A hundred meters away, the big tiger has been 'waiting' for a long time.
Xu Mo said hello.
"Tiger, you came at the right time."
While talking, Xu Mo walked over.
"The tiger will take a few steps back. I'm afraid that the strange things in the temple will detect the tiger's aura soon. Although they will not step out of the temple, there is no guarantee that the strange thing will happen. Don't be afraid of 10,000, just be afraid of the worst.
"
Not surprisingly, Mr. Xuanshan, who was originally here for dinner, was deceived by Xu Mo again.
Xu Mo was very sure about this demonic tiger.
"Tiger, look, what is this?"
Xu Mo shook the lantern in his hand.
Mr. Xuanshan squinted his eyes, confused but also wary. He stepped back, ready to run away at any time.
Xu Mo still said minding his own business.
"The lightless ghost state in this mountain temple is very powerful. Although Taoist Piaoyun is not dead, he can't move. The lantern beside him must be the key thing. By the way, the tiger is familiar with Taoist Piaoyun, so
Teacher and friend, have you ever seen this thing?"
His rapid-fire words and questions made the big tiger stunned.
"No, I haven't seen it before!"
Feeling Xu Mo's gaze, Mr. Xuanshan replied.
"That shouldn't belong to Taoist Piaoyun, but this thing is in the temple. Everything in the temple is dilapidated, but this lantern is still in good condition. This is unreasonable. Could it be that this lantern is not something from the temple, but something from the temple?"
From other places, such as the lightless ghost realm..."
Originally, Xu Mo was cheating, so he analyzed it and clarified his thoughts.
But as I talk, I really gain something.
Upon closer inspection, this lantern really does not match the style and age of the mountain temple. You must know that the lantern on the eaves of the mountain temple has long been rotten and only the skeleton is left.
But this lantern, although old, is in good condition.
Maybe, it was really brought from that lightless ghost realm.
‘Lightless Ghost Realm’ is the name Xu Mo gave to that terrifying and dark place.
Very appropriate.
At this moment, Mr. Xuanshan finally couldn't help it and asked who Xu Mo was?
Xu Mo chuckled, greeted everyone, and introduced himself to his family.
"Xuan Shanjun, don't think too much. Xu has some knowledge and knows a lot of things. But for now, we will observe the situation in the temple. If anything happens, we will go back to Shanjun's residence and discuss it in detail later."
Lord Xuanshan was frightened when he heard this, but Xu Mo didn't take it seriously and fixed his gaze on the mountain temple in the distance.
At this moment, the sky is completely dark.
After observing it for a while, there was nothing unusual.
Xu Mo secretly thought, maybe he thought wrongly. Logically speaking, the mummy of Taoist Piaoyun should be wandering around the temple with a lantern.
Is it because the lantern was taken away by him that he didn't react?
Do you want to send the lantern back again?
Forget it.
Going in at this time is completely asking for death. It is better to observe it for a while. If there is nothing strange, go back to the tiger nest with Mr. Xuanshan to chat for a while, talk to each other, and then come back to investigate after dawn.
He made a plan in his mind and observed for another hour. It was calm and calm. Xu Mo then called Mr. Xuanshan and said let's go home and talk.
