Just as Sun Lu threw himself down, a dark thing fell from above the divine platform, smashing the altar to pieces with a "bang".

"Good, do you have mechanisms?" Sun Lu got up in a hurry and ran to me.

Zhang Xi also appeared and frowned and said:

"Master, can you stop being so reckless in the future? How many lives do you have?"

Sun Lu smacked his lips and said nothing.

I only glanced at the lantern in his hand, and then turned to the divine platform. I saw the situation clearly and was stunned.

It turned out to be a statue that fell from above and smashed the altar!

The entire statue is about the same size as a real person, with legs crossed, as if meditating.

But that was definitely not a Buddha Bodhisattva, but just a vague human form. It was pitch black all over, like coke burned by fire, and it was completely impossible to see what it was.

Zhang Xi, Sun Lu, and I looked at each other, subconsciously looked at the top of the divine platform, and felt extremely suspicious.

The Buddhist temple is naturally dedicated to the Buddha gods, so how could there be such a strange-looking statue?

Moreover, the statue is not placed on the altar, but is hung above the divine platform, with a strange octagonal lantern hanging below...

"Bullshit, what do you think is in the lantern?" I asked casually, and wanted to look back.

But inadvertently, from the corner of my eyes, I saw a corner of the roof that seemed to be squatting!

My scalp tightened and I pulled Sun Lu back two steps, asking him to lift the lantern high.

The green lights illuminate the roof. Seeing the situation clearly, I felt goosebumps all over my body explode.

Then who is this person? It’s just a human-shaped stone statue bulging in the corner.

Judging from the curve on the chest, it should be a female image, but she was kneeling in the direction of the divine platform, as if worshiping the divine platform.

What is creepy is that on the shoulders of the stone statue, there is not the stone carved head, but a dark human skull!

Soon I discovered that there were more than one stone statue of a woman with a skull on her back, but there were three other three sides close to the roof, with a total of nine.

The nine stone statues are embedded in the wall, and they seem to be a convex overall carving. Although the details of the body are slightly different, each one is a kneeling woman, and each stone statue is supported by a human skull.

"Xizi, do you know what these stone statues do?" I asked.

Zhang Xi's voice was also puzzled, but he said:

"I don't know, but this is definitely not as simple as a stone statue. I can feel that not long ago, there were still souls in every skull."

"There are souls in the skull? Nine female ghosts?" Sun Lu widened his eyes.

Zhang Xi nodded, "Even the disaster was covered before, it should be these nine ghosts who were causing trouble."

"Then where are these nine ghosts now?" Sun Lu turned around and looked at the iron gate, "They locked us inside and ran out by themselves?"

Zhang Xi and I looked at each other, and our faces were full of surprise.

Unlike Sun Tuzi’s thoughts, I could vaguely feel that besides the three of us, there are other existences in the Buddhist temple, and more than one.

But what made me panic was that I clearly opened my ghost eyes with blood, but I still couldn't see them.

"Bullshit, you just said what's in the lantern?" Zhang Xi asked.

My eyes also turned to the octagonal lantern.

Sun Lu lifted the lantern upwards and frowned, as if he didn't know what to say.

Without waiting for him to speak, I put my head on top of the lantern and looked in.

With just one glance, I almost shouted out.

There is no fire source like candles in the lantern, but only a bare-butt child!

The child seemed to feel someone looking at him, and slowly raised his head and looked up.

His eyes were actually green, just like the eyes of the lynx cat in the dark night with a strange light!

This should be the child under the well when Sun Tuzi and I were on the top. How could he be in the lantern?

I took two steps back and looked at the octagonal lanterns more than two feet tall, and couldn't say a word.

At this time, Zhang Xi had already seen clearly what was happening in the lantern.

He suddenly raised his head and looked at Sun Lu with a strange expression.

Sun Tuzi also blinked at him, his expression was also inexplicably strange.

After a while, the two of them turned to look at me at the same time.

I felt even more distressed when they saw it, and I asked reluctantly:

"What do you think I'm doing?"

Sun Lu grinned, "Damn it... I'm honest, don't dislike listening. I think, I look familiar with this kid."

I couldn't help but be stunned.

He seemed to have said the same thing just now.

The fact is, the reason why I reacted strongly was that when I looked at the child in the lantern, I also felt a similar feeling.

But this feeling is a kind of weirdness that I can't say. I'm almost certain that I have not only seen the child, but also very familiar with him. But if I ask me to see him, I can't even think of it if I want to see him where I have seen him and when I have seen him.

"I have seen this child too." Zhang Xi glanced at me and said.

"Me too."

I nodded in a daze and tried to analyze and said, "We have seen all three of us, so that should be something that we will know each other later..."

Unexpectedly, Zhang Xi and Sun Lu looked at each other again and shook their heads at me at the same time.

Sun Lu suddenly raised his hand and pointed at me, saying in his throat: "I feel that the child here is you! No matter how you are your son!"

"Damn..." I almost rushed up and kicked him.

But what I didn't expect was that Zhang Xi actually stared at me with a strange expression and said word by word:

"I'm sure this kid is you!"

I was stunned again. After a long time, I walked forward again with stiff steps, glanced at the two of them, lowered my head and looked into the lantern again.

This time, when I saw the child looking up, I felt strangely reaching the limit.

I finally knew why I felt so familiar with the children in the lanterns that I couldn't be familiar with them, but couldn't tell where I had seen them.

In the photo frame of the old house in Dongjiazhuang, there is a black and white photo with lace.

That was when I didn't remember much, my grandfather took me to the photo studio in the town to take a photo shoot.

The children in the lantern, except that their eyes are green and their facial features are exactly the same as me at that time!

But why is this happening...

Zhang Xi seemed to see my question, frowned and thought for a while:

"Did I say that I always feel that something is missing from you?"

"ah?"

I looked at him blankly, but soon, a vague clue appeared in my chaotic mind.

Sun Lu's eyes rolled and said:

"Faohao, you said that when you were a child, Shepherd Gu helped you see your life. Now there is a 'small Shepherd' in the lantern... Couldn't that Shepherd Gu do anything to you, right?"

I was shocked like an electric shock...

Gu Shepherd!

I heard from my grandfather that the photo at home was taken during the Chinese New Year when I was four years old.

When I was four years old, my so-called parents left me because... Gu Shepherd helped me see my life and said that I was a disaster that killed my parents and relatives...

Gu Yanggong, what did he do to me?

"Damn it, are you okay?" Zhang Xi asked cautiously.

I staggered back a few steps, barely shook my head, "No...I'm fine."

I instinctively moved my eyes away from the octagonal lantern, trying to force myself to calm down.

But when my eyes turned to the direction of the divine platform, I actually saw that the coke-like human-shaped statue seemed to move among the ruins of the altar. Immediately afterwards, the statue actually opened its eyelids, revealing a pair of blood-red eyes!

"Xizi..."

As soon as I shouted, the statue suddenly raised its head, and its bloody gaze stared at this side.

Sun Lu and Zhang Xi also saw this scene.

Sun Lu couldn't help but burp: "I'll go, what's going on? The statue is alive?"

I stared at the statue in a daze and gradually realized that the red eyes did not seem to be dead without emotions, but an indescribable solemn and angry.

I suddenly reacted: "That's not a statue, it's a burnt corpse!"

Before he finished speaking, the blood light in the eyes of the "Stattoo" suddenly surged, and it seemed to be shot towards this side as if it was substantial.
