Chapter 76 Ghost Infant 4

Entering the earth temple, there is only a simple offering table in the small room, and on the offering table is a carved wooden statue of Guanyin giving birth to children.

The Guanyin statue is completely dark, and I don’t know what kind of wood it is made of. It is dark and shiny, with some faint black and red light.

"Mother" took out two red candles, two red apples, and three sticks of incense from the cloth bag she carried with her.

Put the candle on the candlestick and light it, and put three sticks of incense in the incense burner. "Mother" knelt down solemnly, muttering to herself, not knowing what she was talking about. After the incense candle was mostly burned, she bowed respectfully and devoutly.

After bowing three times, he stood up and looked at Gu Hanhan.

"Girl, come here and say goodbye."

The mother spoke softly, with a strange and excited light in her eyes.

Gu Hanhan's intuition told her that there must be something wrong with this worship ceremony and it would most likely be detrimental to her.

So, Gu Hanhan just stood there blankly, without any reaction. "Mother" became a little anxious, glanced at the incense that was about to burn out, and grabbed Gu Hanhan's clothes to force her to kneel down.

"Mom, didn't I just bow to you?"

"Mother" was stunned, and Gu Hanhan immediately used the skill "True Lie". Fortunately, the lie was judged to be true.

Immediately, the surprised look on "Mother's" face disappeared and was replaced by an amiable smile. However, in Gu Hanhan's eyes, this smile was a bit scary.

After walking out of the earth temple, "Mother" stopped after walking a few steps, turned to look at Gu Hanhan thoughtfully, and said.

"Girl, mommy has to go do some errands nearby. Just stay here and don't move. Mommy will come back as soon as she goes."

What kind of things can be done in this deep mountain and old forest? Although he knew that there must be something wrong with this so-called doing things, Gu Hanhan still nodded obediently, with an expression like I will stay here and will never run around.

After "mother" walked away, Gu Hanhan immediately followed her, passing through denser weeds and woods, and saw an ancient tower with a height of five or six stories vaguely visible in the depths of the woods.

Gu Hanhan quickened her pace and followed her "mother" to the foot of the ancient tower.

After getting close to the ancient pagoda, Gu Hanhan saw the whole picture of the ancient pagoda. The tall tower made of dark gray cement had many small windows. The small windows had no window paper or baffles, just like many small holes in a straight building.

In order to avoid being discovered by "mother", Gu Hanhan did not rush forward rashly, but hid behind a thick tree and watched "mother" walk to the foot of the tower, looking around as if waiting for someone.

Not long after, several Taoist priests wearing Taoist robes appeared under the tower. The leader was an old Taoist priest with gray hair. Behind him were several young Taoist priests. Gu Hanhan recognized them. Those young Taoist priests were officially Li Tiantian and Wang Yinyin.

and Zhao An.

After "Mother" chatted with the old Taoist priest for a few words, she took a piece of yellow talisman paper from the old Taoist priest's hand. She carefully put the talisman paper into a cloth bag and put it away. "Mother" bowed to the Taoist priest a few times and turned around to prepare.

leave.

Gu Hanhan immediately returned along the original road. Before his "mother" returned to the earth temple, he stood on the wooden board next to the earth temple early, pretending to have been waiting for a long time.

Gu Hanhan could not hear clearly the conversation between "mother" and the old Taoist priest just now because they were too far away. He only heard the words "child", "transfer life" and "pregnancy protection".

It was already afternoon when he walked home from the Tu Temple. He didn't stay at home for long before Gu Hanhan sneaked away from home and went to the Tu Temple again.

When they arrived at the Tu Temple, Li Xinyi, Mo Han and Qian Haifeng were also there. They were playing with the altar table, as if they were trying to find some mechanism.

"Did you find anything?"

The people who were looking for clues were not surprised when they saw Gu Hanhan. They just shook their heads and said they found nothing.

"This earthen temple is empty. Both the Buddha statues and the offerings are very simple, but the incense is very strong. The ashes in the incense burner are full, and the offering table is full of wax marks from red candles. This weird sense of dissonance,

It most likely means there is something hidden here."

Mo Han spoke up to explain to Gu Hanhan, and Gu Hanhan nodded to express understanding.

Gu Hanhan had also discovered this strange thing a long time ago, and she had already guessed where the thing hidden here might be.

Gu Hanhan walked to the altar table, walked straight to the Guanyin statue, whispered: "I'm sorry," and then directly pulled up the Guanyin statue.

"What are you doing!"

Qian Haifeng roared, somewhat panicked, and observed his surroundings vigilantly.

However, no terrorist incident occurred after the Guanyin statue was uprooted, which made Qian Haifeng a little embarrassed.

Gu Hanhan calmly groped for the small area under the Guanyin statue, and sure enough he felt the gap left by the spliced ​​wooden boards that had not been sealed. There was something hidden underneath.

Gu Hanhan took out a prop knife and gently pried it against the gap. The wooden board was pried open, revealing a small hidden space.

"How did you know there was something here?"

Qian Haifeng asked, his tone was not very good. Gu Hanhan didn't want to talk to him, but seeing Li Xinyi and Mo Han looking like "I really want to know too", Gu Hanhan decided to explain reluctantly.

"What do you think is the weirdest thing in this room?"

Almost without thinking, everyone's first reaction was to this Guanyin statue. However, although they knew that there must be something wrong with this wooden Guanyin statue, I am afraid that only Gu Hanhan dared to play with it directly.

After seeing through the little thoughts of these people, Gu Hanhan sighed slightly, and said with a hatred of iron: "I know there is something wrong with this thing, but I don't check it out. Why don't I keep it for the New Year? Danger and opportunity coexist, why don't you try it?"

Try, even if you search this small temple for a day and a night, you still won't be able to find the clues you want."

After saying that, Gu Hanhan continued to use her extremely bold characteristics, reached into the hole, and finally took out a small earthen jar with a yellow talisman paper attached to it.

Gu Hanhan recognized that this talisman paper was exactly the same as the talisman paper given to "mother" by the Taoist priest.

As soon as her hand touched the yellowed, wrinkled and somewhat damaged talisman paper on the jar, a chill came to her heart. Gu Hanhan's intuition told her that once the talisman paper was uncovered, some uncontrollable horror would definitely occur.

As for the incident, it's not time to unveil the talisman yet.

After putting the earthen pot and Guanyin statue back to their original places, Gu Hanhan told several people the news about Li Tiantian and Wang Yinyin.

"Their identity is Taoist priests, and they must have come into contact with more clues about the mission than us. Now we go to the tower to find them and exchange clues, which should speed up the completion of the mission."

Gu Hanhan made a suggestion, but no one refuted it, so the group left the earth temple and headed towards the ancient pagoda.

With Gu Hanhan leading the way, the group found the ancient pagoda without much effort. However, how to find Taoist priests Li Tiantian and Wang Yinyin was another problem.
