I took a closer look and saw that it was really a child!
"Why is there a child by the reservoir in the middle of the night?" I muttered in my heart.
At the same time, I stretched my neck and took a few steps forward. I saw the child lowering his head and shaking his body, not knowing what he was doing.
"Hey, kid, why are you here alone? How dangerous it is!" I shouted.
After waiting for a long time, the child ignored me. I was even more suspicious. What on earth was this child doing...
"Brother... do you think my clothes can still be washed clean..."
Just when I took out the flashlight and wanted to take a photo, a childish and hollow voice suddenly penetrated my ears.
I was stunned for a moment, and then I realized that the child in front of me was speaking, and it sounded like a little boy.
"Are you talking to me?" I asked cautiously.
"Brother... do you think my clothes can still be washed clean..."
The little boy didn't answer, but repeated his question again.
I walked behind him, looked down, and found that he was indeed washing clothes, but the clothes looked familiar. I couldn't help but shine a flashlight on them, and I was stunned immediately.
This dress turned out to be a red wedding dress, exactly the same as what Uncle Bai’s daughter-in-law wore!
Moreover, the red wedding dress in the little boy's hands seemed to be fading, because I found that his hands had been dyed blood red.
Just when I couldn't believe it, the little boy spoke again,
"Look, my hands are dirty..."
As he spoke, he rubbed his hands vigorously, trying to wash away the redness on them, but the strange thing was that the harder he scrubbed, the redder his little hands became!
At this time, the sound of washing hands was so harsh in my ears!
In the end, he actually rubbed all the skin and flesh off his hands, and then gradually stopped...
Seeing this bloody scene, I was so frightened that it took me a long time to recover. At the same time, my heart suddenly sank. I hurriedly walked a few steps forward and came to the water to see what this child looked like!
As a result, as soon as I came to him, before I had time to look, the little boy suddenly stood up, shrank his neck, jumped into the water with a strange gesture and disappeared...
I was startled for a moment, then I squatted by the water and shined my flashlight, trying to find the boy...
At this moment, something suddenly jumped out of the water, grabbed my legs, and pulled them down hard. I lost my center of gravity and fell to the ground, and quickly slid down into the water.
!
"Haha...come down and accompany me..."
A cold voice came from the water!
I was startled, and I quickly grabbed the weeds on the shore with my left hand. I quickly pulled out the mahogany sword with my right hand and struck the hands holding my legs. I felt my hands sink, and the hands immediately retracted.
in the water…
I stood up and took a few deep breaths, thinking with lingering fear:
"It's really too dangerous! If we are pulled down here, we will definitely be doomed!"
I calmed down a little, and suddenly I heard something sound in the water, so I looked into the water carefully, and saw only a faint bloodless face in the water, gradually sinking into the dark bottom, because the water rippled.
, that face also shook from time to time...
And she was wearing a red wedding dress...
"Uncle Bai's daughter-in-law?!" I lost my voice.
It seems that she has turned into a water ghost...but who harmed her?
I immediately thought of the little man, but the strange thing was that I didn’t feel any ghostly energy or resentment from the man. This was not in line with the characteristics of a water ghost at all, and why did this little boy want to harm the bride and groom?
?
"Don't think about it, that boy is not a ghost at all!"
Lao Yutou's voice rang in my ears, and I didn't know when he crawled out again.
"I also think he is not a ghost, but what exactly is he?"
"Actually, you just saw something that proved his identity, but it's a pity that you didn't pay attention."
"Something that proves his identity..."
I muttered, and then suddenly thought of something, it was that stone tablet!
I paused, quickly got up and ran towards the path I came from. I didn't run very far when I saw the half stone tablet by the woods. I used all my strength to lift the stone tablet and leaned it against the tree next to it.
I took a closer look with my flashlight...
I found that this stone tablet was very old. It was covered with cracks and was somewhat broken. It looked like it had been there for a while, but I could still vaguely make out the three characters "Five Saints Tablet" engraved on it.
"Five Saint Monuments..." I muttered.
I seem to have seen this name somewhere, probably in Master's ancient books.
I thought about it for a long time, and suddenly there was a buzzing sound in my head,
"No way...is there really such a thing in this world?"
I got up and immediately started searching around the stone monument. If it was true as recorded in the book, I should be able to find that thing...
After searching for a few minutes, I found a straw mat in the woods about ten meters away from the stone monument. The bottom of the straw mat was bulging as if it was covered with something. I stepped forward and opened the straw mat, and then I saw what was underneath.
It is a small temple over one foot high and four or five feet square!
Yes, it was indeed a small temple. I was a little nervous and used a flashlight to illuminate it. When I bent down and took a look, my heart suddenly tightened. On the porch of the small temple, the words "Five Saints Temple" were written mottled on it!
I looked at this small temple in astonishment, and then blurted out:
"Then...that child can't be the God of Five Powers, right?!"
Lao Yu climbed up to my shoulder and stretched his neck to take a look.
"Hmm... If you have some knowledge, that boy is indeed the God of Five Powers."
The Wutong God has been recorded since early times. Wutong is actually a general term for ghosts and demons. Most of them have rats, monkeys, snakes, and toads as their original forms, and they transform into human forms.
The reason why they are called gods is not because they are immortals, but in some places they are worshiped by the common people, which is the so-called folk immortals...
But this folk immortal position is different from the five great immortals in the northeast. Compared with the five great immortals, Wutong is not on the stage, and it is fundamentally different...
To put it bluntly, the five links represent evil and are just evil gods. Most people worship them because they are afraid of them, so they build temples to worship them. Of course, some do it to seek wealth. If the worship is good, it can be fulfilled, but it also requires a certain amount of dedication from the believers.
price.
But I never thought that this kind of evil image that often appears in novels actually exists!
My mind immediately thought of the two ghosts I saw on the bed at Uncle Bai's house, those two toad-like faces... Thinking of this, I suddenly got goosebumps all over my body...
"What? Are you scared?" Lao Yutou asked angrily.
"That's not true. It's just that I don't understand why there is a Wutong God here? Why does it attack the newlyweds?"
Lao Yu chuckled,
"Most Wutong are evil people, what do you think he is for?"
I nodded suddenly and muttered:
"Although this is also a reason, I don't think it is the key point, otherwise this area would have been unstable!"
I looked back at the broken stone tablet not far away, and suddenly thought of something in my heart...
