Vice-captain Cao Zheng lowered his body and trotted towards the ancient temple, looking back from time to time as if he were a thief.

If Xiong Ming and I hadn't been smart enough to find a dark corner to hide, we might have been discovered by Cao Zheng.

Xiong Ming lowered his voice and whispered in my ear: "Hu Tian, ​​what is this kid doing?"

I whispered: "I guess he also knows the secrets inside this ancient temple and wants to go in there and make some money while everyone is resting."

Xiong Ming cursed in a low voice: "Isn't this just a case of guarding and stealing? This matter must be handled by your family! Although this kid has never entered the family, he is still doing things like stealing money!

"

I said in a low voice: "The two of us go around from the side and get to the ancient temple ahead of this guy. After the guy comes in, the two of us will scare him and see if he dares to do it again."

Is the prisoner stealing from you?"

Xiong Ming grinned widely and said, "You can do this!"

After that, Xiong Ming and I stepped up our feet and quickly went around from the other side.

Xiong Ming and I are both former soldiers of the special operations brigade. Although we have retired, our physical fitness has always been very good, so we easily surpassed Cao Zheng and arrived at the main entrance of the ancient temple before this guy.

I didn't notice it when I was far away, but when I stood in front of the gate of the ancient temple, I realized that the majesty and hugeness of this ancient temple were far beyond my imagination.

The door is as high as two stories.

The temple door is made of stone, with one door divided into two. The left and right sides are still engraved with the figures of a man and a woman. However, unlike the previous stone door with the strange shapes of men and women, the men and women on this stone door are in a kneeling posture.

The strange thing is that they all have their heads lowered and their hands raised high, with strange runes carved on their sides.

Those runes are like ghostly symbols, and I don’t know their meaning, but the strange thing is that I always feel like I have seen these runes somewhere.

I stood at the stone gate of the ancient temple and was stunned. After a while, I was pushed by Xiong Ming and I came back to my senses.

Xiong Ming looked at me in surprise and asked, "Hu Tian, ​​what's wrong with you?"

I shook my head and said, "It's okay!"

Xiong Ming shined his flashlight into the ancient temple, and then said: "Let's go quickly! We won't have to play anymore if that guy Cao Zheng finds us later."

I nodded, said nothing, followed Xiong Ming into the ancient temple.

After entering the ancient temple, the first thing you see is a very large hall.

However, unlike our common temples, there are no Buddhas or gods in the main hall of this ancient temple, and there are no gods or ornaments to offer sacrifices. The entire hall only has eight large stone pillars on the left and right sides surrounded by three people, two of which may be because of

It had fallen to the side in disrepair.

After Xiong Ming and I entered the ancient temple, we were the first to find the two fallen stone pillars. We looked at each other thoughtfully, and then we each found a stone pillar and climbed up using our hands and feet.

After climbing up the stone pillar, Xiong Ming and I turned off the flashlights in order to avoid Cao Zheng discovering us.

At this time, Cao Zheng ran into the ancient temple out of breath.

The atmosphere in the ancient temple was lower than outside. Cao Zheng was shivered by the sudden cold wind, and then sneezed again.

"Sneeze!" Cao Zheng wiped the saliva from his mouth with his sleeve and cursed: "It's so damn cold."

After saying that, Cao Zheng began to look around with a flashlight.

Xiong Ming and I lay on the stone pillars, tilting our heads slightly, exposing half of our faces and looking down.

Cao Zheng didn't notice the two of us on the stone pillar. He just took a flashlight and looked around in the hall of the ancient temple, as if he was looking for something.

I looked up at Xiong Ming on another pillar in confusion, and found that the boy was also looking at me.

Seeing me looking at him, Xiong Ming gave me a gesture, meaning: "What is this kid looking for?"

I waved my hand, meaning to say: "I don't know either!"

Then, I pointed to my eyes with my index and middle fingers, and then pointed to Cao Zheng below, my consciousness saying: "Just wait and see what happens!"

Xiong Ming nodded knowingly and said nothing.

I turned my attention back to Cao Zheng below, and found that this kid had already reached the blind spot of my sight.

I had no choice but to move my body carefully on the stone pillar, fearing that this guy would notice me if I made any movement.

It took a lot of effort for me to move half a meter away, and just when I stretched my head to look down, a person's face suddenly appeared in front of me.

It was a woman's face, as pale as paper, with traces of blood oozing from her eyes, ears, mouth and nose.

My heart suddenly tightened at the sudden appearance of this woman in front of me, but in the next second, this woman disappeared out of thin air.

It came and went quickly, as if it had never appeared before.

This sudden scene made me take a breath of cold air, and my whole body slumped and almost fell off the stone pillar.

Fortunately, I was able to reach out quickly and managed to stabilize my body. However, I made a little movement after all this effort.

Although there was not much movement, several stones fell from the stone pillars and hit a place not far below, making a few crisp sounds.

In the ancient temple, except for the slightest sound of wind, it was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

These sudden crisp sounds sounded like a "bolt from the blue" at this moment.

Cao Zheng was startled and hurriedly raised his flashlight to shine in my direction, shouting loudly: "Who is it? Where is it?"

Fortunately, I moved quickly enough and turned my side into the darkness of the pillar, so I was not discovered.

Cao Zheng shouted several times, but when no one answered, he subconsciously took a few steps forward.

Cao Zheng walked under the stone pillar where I was, and took a closer look. He saw that what fell on the ground were some gravels. He immediately let out a sigh of relief and murmured: "It turns out they are some stones. I also

I thought...! Hahahaha! Cao Zheng, Cao Zheng, when did you become so timid?"

After saying that, Cao Zheng ignored the stones on the ground, turned around and strode back to the previous place.

And I was lying on the stone pillar, gasping for air. Perhaps I was afraid that Cao Zheng would find me, or perhaps I was afraid of the woman who suddenly appeared and disappeared just now, so I didn't dare to move for a long time.

"Grandma! If I hadn't had a good heart, what I did just now would have frightened me to death!" I cursed in my heart. "What's going on with that woman? Why does she feel familiar? She seems to be there."

Where have you seen it? But I can’t remember it for a while..."

I was thinking secretly when I suddenly heard a "click" sound not far from me.

I heard the sound and hurriedly looked down, only to see Cao Zheng kneeling in the northeast corner of the ancient temple hall. A sharp knife in his right hand cut his left hand, and blood slipped from his wrist bit by bit and dripped under him.

above the ground.

Strangely enough, the blood dripping on the ground did not scatter in all directions, and even seeped directly into the cracks in the rocks. Instead, they slowly gathered together and flowed towards the stone wall in the southeast corner.

The blood flowed very fast, as if attracted by some mysterious force, and gathered on a "fork"-like pattern on the wall.

The "fork" pattern seemed to be extremely sensitive to blood. Once Cao Zheng's blood came into contact, it immediately turned counterclockwise.

The "click" sound I heard before was caused by it.

Seeing this scene that violated common sense in physics, Xiong Ming and I couldn't help but feel a little startled. Xiong Ming even gestured at me and asked: "Hu Tian, ​​what is going on?"

I spread my hands and replied: "I, how do you know?"

After replying to Xiong Ming, I didn't communicate much with this guy. Instead, I focused all my attention on Cao Zheng below me.

I saw that Cao Zheng stood up slowly at this time. Perhaps due to excessive blood loss, he was already a little unsteady and his body was shaking from side to side unconsciously.

But Cao Zheng didn't seem to care, and murmured some strange words.

I tried so hard to just barely hear a few words, "Bless me three times to return... I pray three times to raise my hand... The door opens... The taboo is lifted..."

Cao Zheng's words were confused and confused.

While Cao Zheng was saying strange words, he staggered forward and stopped when he was less than one meter away from the stone wall in the northeast corner.

What happened next was really beyond my expectation.

Cao Zheng actually knelt down on the stone wall, raised his hands high, lowered his head, and recited a large passage of obscure scriptures in his mouth.

This shape of Cao Zheng reminds me of the patterns carved on the stone doors of ancient temples.

Seeing this, I couldn't help but secretly wonder: "What is this guy doing? Is he performing some kind of sacrifice? Or..."

Just when I was wondering what Cao Zheng was planning to do, I suddenly heard Cao Zheng underneath me suddenly speak loudly: "I respectfully invite the God of Creation to return to the world!"

After saying that, there was a flash of cold light, and Cao Zheng stabbed his own chest with a knife.

Blood poured out of Cao Zheng's body almost instantly, and sprayed towards the stone wall in the northeast corner. His blood was sucked dry by the stone wall in almost two or three seconds.

net.

As for Cao Zheng, at this time, he was like a rag that had been squeezed dry. His face was ferocious, and his whole body was a deathly gray color that sent chills down the spine.

Cao Zheng fell. He was a living man, but in the blink of an eye he turned into a mummy.

But even so, there was still a strange smile on his face.

What is he laughing at?

Is he secretly rejoicing in his "greatness"?

Or are you celebrating the arrival of the so-called Creator God?

Or is he mocking the human beings in this world?

Ridicule their ignorance?

Taunting them for their weakness?

have no idea!

No one knows!

Perhaps, even Cao Zheng himself may not be able to know.

The blood is still flowing.

They flow along the lines on the wall in the northeast corner.

The blood flowed very fast, and in the blink of an eye, a strange figure of a man and a woman gathered on the wall in the northeast corner.

The next second, the "fork"-like figure began to rotate crazily, and with a "click" sound, the "fork"-like figure suddenly sank into the wall, and then, the entire ancient temple began to spin.
