my weird life

Chapter 10 Temple

"Dang dong dong dong!"

Ying Gui chased after him.

Su Wu rang the emperor's bell, and in the sound of the bell, the shadows moved forward one by one, like a picture with dropped frames.

But it is extremely fast, even if it keeps getting stuck, it still keeps a distance of two meters from Su Wu, not too close or too far!
At the same time, Su Wu found that every time the emperor's bell rang, the black hand attached to his armpit would freeze for a moment, and at the same time, his pain would gradually disappear.

This ghost hand can move autonomously!
Just now, he tore off the ghostly fragments and let himself grow flesh and blood. Although he was influenced by Su Wu's thoughts, it was the ghost hand itself that reacted.

Su Wu's consciousness can affect the ghost hand, but this influence is too weak at present.

His brain issued an instruction, and his own hands could respond instantly, but when this instruction was passed on to the ghost hand, it took a minute or more before it could respond slightly.

In 1 minute, the day lily is cold!

"Dang dong dong!"

The sound of the imperial bell echoed continuously in the alley.

Su Wu dragged a dark and strange ghost hand with ten fingers growing out of his armpit, and finally turned the corner of the alleyway and walked into the dark fork.

Yinggui kept trying to stick out at the corner of the alleyway. Its human-shaped head poked out from the alleyway, and its dark face without facial features faced Su Wu.

Su Wu seemed to see a pair of eyes from that black face, staring straight at himself.

There was an inexplicable chill in his heart.

He turned his head and looked at the bustling street at the end of the fork.

The streets were plunged into darkness—a harbinger of the lantern trick.

When the red lantern is about to fly into the sky, all the lights and neon lights within its envelope will be extinguished, and it will be plunged into darkness. Only the skylight can shine on the ground.

Seeing this situation, Su Wu's heart skipped a beat.

He turned his head in an instant, and saw only the dim light of the sky around him, and the ghostly figure staring at him at the corner of the alleyway melted instantly.

In the next instant, it appeared in the shadows around Su Wu!
In an instant, the person stood up, and the distance between Su Wu and Su Wu was less than two meters!

"Dang dong dong dong dong—"

Su Wu was so shocked that his hair stood on end, but at the most dangerous moment, his wrist made the best choice on his own. It shook suddenly, the emperor bell rang, and Ying Gui stayed in place!
Thoughts exploded in my mind.

"Before the Lantern Sly appears, all the lights will be extinguished. And when the street is plunged into darkness, the Shadow Sly can leave the unit building and continue to hunt and kill himself."

"This period of time is extremely dangerous and must not be taken lightly!"

tread, tread, tread...

Su Wu's footsteps echoed in the fork.

Ying Gui in front of him pressed on every step of the way, but was suppressed by the sound of the emperor's bell, and kept a distance of two meters from Su Wu all the time.

Su Wu walked for about 5 minutes for a distance of less than a hundred steps!

Finally came to the fork.

The red lantern rose to the sky, and the crimson light fell on Su Wu's back. A layer of cold sweat oozes from his back, and he is very worried that his perspective will be pulled upwards in the next moment, overlooking his corpse on the ground.

But this time, even under the crimson light, his head was still resting on his neck.

Only Ying Gui in front of him disappeared without any sign, like a bubble.

Su Wu turned around and saw that under the crimson light, there were headless corpses in shops all over the street, and they all kept their postures at the last moment of their lives, like wax figures.

His face was ugly.

The worst guesses still happened.

He was illuminated by the red light, but he was unscathed.

This shows that Lantern's tricky way of killing is not what he speculated, as long as he is illuminated by red light, he will die.

The way it kills is completely random!
Whether it is illuminated by red light does not explain anything.

As long as it rises, everyone in the range may die, or they may all be unscathed!

This is a knife hanging over the head of a living person. As for when the knife will fall, the decision is not on the person under the knife, but on the knife itself!
"Hey! Hey!"

At this time, a sharp pain suddenly occurred from the right armpit, the pain made Su Wu's heart twitch, and he gasped for breath.

He lowered his head to look at his right armpit: the ghost hand was swinging freely, and every time it moved, Su Wu felt severe pain!
"Damn it! Damn it!"

Su Wu clenched the imperial bell tightly and kept shaking it, while his brain continued to send out instructions to fight for the control of the ghost hand.

Under the double pressure, the ghost hand fell silent.

He looked around, and his eyes quickly locked on the small temple next to the shop called 'Palace Pastry'.

The small temple is built with dark red brick walls, which is completely different from the decoration style of the surrounding shops and can be recognized at a glance.

At this time, the temple was emitting an orange light, earning a foothold in the crimson long street.

"Just go there!"

Su Wu no longer hesitated, and ran wildly.

I don't know if it was due to the consumption of too much physical strength with Ying Gui, or because of his own psychological reasons, Su Wu obviously felt that his running speed had slowed down this time, and his legs seemed to be tied with sandbags.

In the glass window of a passing clothing store, three models stood silently in the crimson light.

Two models in fashionable bright clothes;
The third one is standing on the side, her clothes are not bright and fashionable, but her lack of head makes her look unique.

The distance between the fork and the small temple is not far.

So even though Su Wu's physical strength was declining, he still quickly rushed to the small temple.

Surrounded by the orange light emanating from the small temple, Su Wu felt that his physical and mental exhaustion seemed to be relieved, and he felt an inexplicable sense of security in his heart.

Even the ghost hand, which has been constantly changing and needs to be suppressed with the emperor bell, is much quieter.

He frequently used the imperial bell to suppress the ghost hand, and he also found that the sound of the imperial bell could not affect the lantern.

Every palace lantern, like a blood-stained palace lantern, was spinning in the sky as usual, and none of the lanterns stopped for a moment because of the sound of the emperor's bell.

The crimson lightly dissipated,
Surrounded by neon lights,

The audience was silent.

Su Wu stood in the orange light, looking at the small temple in front of him.

This is really a small temple made of bricks. It squeezes out from the cake room on the left and the blind massage on the right. There is no plaque, no house number, and it is not connected to the top floor at all.

"Is there such a temple in the street?"

"Never."

"It appeared out of nowhere."

Confused, Su Wu pushed open the half-covered black lacquered temple door, stepped over the threshold made of a wooden plank, walked in, and immediately smelled a strong smoky smell.

He remembered that he lived in the countryside of his hometown when he was a child, and there was an earth temple at the corner of the street where his family was located.

Because a group of old people hide in the temple all day long, bragging and telling ghost stories. The smells of all kinds of dry tobacco they smoked and lighting fires in the temple to drive out the cold are similar to the smell in this small temple. almost.

There are no statues of gods in this temple.

There are no incense burners, altars, merit boxes, etc.

Only a bucket-thick stone 'candlestick' is connected to the ground, and an orange fire burns on the candlestick.

The flame doesn't know what to use as firewood, but its burning brings Su Wu infinite peace.
