Chapter 1576: The Goddess of Birth.

Yao Shunyu on the other end of the phone was obviously stunned for a moment, "What?"

"That's right, I don't have any traces of modern industry here, and another thing is that there are also 8 people traveling with me. Jiang Cheng paused, "Counting Wang Fugui and me, there are 10 people in total. "

Yao, Shun, and Yu took a deep breath, "It's the same."

"Yes, and one of us died last night."

Jiang Cheng and Yao Shunyu briefly explained the situation on his side, the weird temple, the crazy monk Huicong, the ridiculous things he saw at night, and most importantly, the ghost Guan Erye who could kill people.

Yao Shunyu was stunned for a while after listening to this, but after finally hearing that there was a fixed draw session every day, Yao Shunyu became excited, "It's a match, it's a match! We have a similar situation."

"It's just a different form of expression. We are just copying the brand here." Yao, Shunyu emphasized.

When he heard the word "turn the cards", the first thing that popped into Fatty's mind was a popular domestic costume drama a few years ago, in which the emperor chose the concubines who would sleep with him that night by turning the cards.

"Flip the cards?" Jiang Cheng had the same idea as Fatty. He had the impression that flipping the cards was exclusive to ancient emperors.

"Yes, how should I explain it to you?" Yao Shunyu lowered his voice, "In short, the customs and habits of this Blackwater Village are very strange. They are men who are inferior to women.

"The people in charge here are all women. The men never leave the house or take a step forward when eating. They even speak in a soft voice. They all act like little married women who are afraid of making the women angry. ”

"The most terrifying thing is that even when they give birth to children, men do it!"

"Can you imagine? I saw a dark-faced man with a big belly and bound feet, half-hiding behind the door, smiling shyly at me and Li Bai."

Yao Shunyu's despair could be felt from the sound. The fat man thought about the scene and his whole body was covered with goosebumps.

But Jiang Cheng was obviously more concerned about what happened to them, "Then what? What happened to you?"

"The customs here are very strange. They force Li Bai to turn over the signs every night. Don't get me wrong, it's not that Li Bai is doing anything with us, Li Bai is turning over the signs for another thing." Yao Shunyu's voice trembled, "They, they Call that thing Lady Zhusheng.”

"Empress Zhusheng," Jiang Cheng said thoughtfully, "is a fertility deity often worshiped in southern Fujian."

"Yes, they call her the Empress Zhusheng, but we are more accustomed to calling her the Empress Songzi, or Goddess Songzi." Yao, Shun, and Yu said quickly.

"Li Bai is the only woman among us, and she has the highest status among us, so the villagers in Heishui Village ask her to turn over the cards, and the person she picks will go to the annual life-injection meeting in Heishui Village. , this is also the most important festival of the whole year in Blackwater Village.”

"The birth-injection conference usually lasts for several days, and is held at midnight every day. The villagers inform the location in advance. The selected person must attend alone, but the rest can choose to accompany him."

"The person chosen last night claimed to be a painting teacher, and his mission was to go to the temple to worship."

"Worship the temple?" Jiang Cheng suddenly interrupted Yao Shunyu, and he immediately thought of the evil temple he was in.

"It's not what you think. It's a wild temple. It looks very rundown from the outside. We went there too, and Li Bai and I reminded him to bring pen and paper to record everything he saw in the temple."

"That teacher was timid and had no other options, so he trusted Li Bai and me. Everything was normal at first, but something happened shortly after he entered the temple."

"A large fog suddenly appeared around the temple. The fog was very thick, and the small temple disappeared in the fog in a short time."

"Are you sure the temple disappeared?" Jiang Cheng asked. Normally Yao, Shun and Yu's description should be that the small temple was covered by fog.

But Yao, Shun, and Yu spoke with certainty, "No, he just disappeared. That teacher went into the temple to offer incense to the statues inside and to light everlasting candles in front of the statues."

"But after the fog hit, all the firelight in the temple disappeared. It was a very sudden disappearance." Yao, Shunyu emphasized, "Not just Li Bai and I, everyone else also saw it."

"Then what?" Jiang Cheng asked.

Yao and Shunyu took a deep breath, "Then less than half an hour later, the fog receded strangely, and the temple appeared again, with the light of candlelight inside."

"We waited for a long time. It was as quiet as death inside. We didn't dare to move rashly. We didn't dare to get close until the given task time had passed. But when we opened the door of the ruined temple, the teacher inside was already there. Gone."

"The temple is not big. There are seven statues of gods enshrined in it. Because they are so old, a lot of the paint on them has fallen off. Li Bai and I have never seen these statues, and no one else knows them. They should all be wild gods."

"There are incense and candles in front of these statues. The incense and candles are burning. These were brought by the painting teacher."

"The strange thing is that in a corner of the temple, we found another incense candle, but the incense candle was arranged in a hurry, and the candle did not have time to be lit."

"Tell me again, more carefully, what is the task of that painting teacher?" Jiang Cheng asked.

"Offer incense to all the statues in the temple, and then light the everlasting candles." Yao, Shunyu, and Shunyu obviously understood what Jiang Cheng meant, and spoke slowly and in detail.

"Burn incense and light candles for each statue, so why did the teacher put these things in the corner?" Jiang Cheng said, "What's in that corner?"

Yao Shunyu took a deep breath and his tone became gloomy, "We looked carefully, there is nothing, it is the darkest place in the whole temple, if you don't look carefully, you can hardly notice it."

"Also, we found very fresh scratches on the wall in that corner. The position of the scratches is relatively high, about two meters above, and there is no reason for the painting teacher to touch that position." Yao Shunyu said again.

This time even the fat man reacted, "So there is an extra statue in that position, and the statue can move by itself!"

Jiang Cheng can probably think of the scene at that time. It should not be a statue, but a ghost.

The ghost hid in the dark, but the meticulous painting teacher found it, then walked up, respectfully burned incense, and finally put candles.

This violated the task rule that one could only burn incense to the statues in the temple, so when the teacher was about to light the candles, the ghost took action.
