Doomsday Infinite Escape

Chapter 353 The Statue That Doesn't Exist
Day two.

The smog was hazy in the morning, and the heavy rain finally stopped, adding a touch of coolness.They were in bad shape after being soaked overnight.

When Gu Shu opened her eyes, she found that the ancient temple was much empty. Shen Ziyi and No. [-] who were sleeping on the opposite side had disappeared. She didn't know when they left, and she didn't feel anything.

Maybe she slept too deeply...

Gu Shu frowned. If she was so careless, she might be killed next time.

Gu Shu turned her face to look at the candlelight. The candlelight was still half-lit. Because it was dawn, the light seemed much dimmer.What Shen Ziyi said yesterday flashed through her mind again, longevity candle... longevity candle?
With the sound of slight footsteps, Gu Shu moved, quickly hid to the other side, and looked at the door vigilantly.

The ancient wooden door, you can see the silhouette outside, and then a pair of plain hands pushed the door open, and there was a creak, and the sound was amplified many times in the silence.

Then a woman stepped in. She was wearing Hanfu on the top and a long skirt on the bottom. Because of the backlight, she couldn't see the woman's appearance. Gu Shu squinted her eyes to see.The woman also seemed to see their group, and she let out a sigh, very shocked.

"What, what's wrong?"

After the woman's exclamation, Ouyang Sixue and Lin Jiajia also woke up.

"Who are you? Why are you in the Hailao Temple?" The woman's lively eyes, her face without rouge and gouache, her fairy air, long and thick eyelashes, and her non-worldly appearance are easy to be liked.Her voice was also crisp, and she looked at everyone vigilantly at this moment, not daring to approach easily.

"we are……"

At first, Ouyang Sixue felt that her voice was very hoarse, which was very painful.

She licked her dry lips, and was a little afraid to speak. A young lady fell into the rain and fell asleep on the cold concrete floor for a whole day. It's no wonder she didn't get sick.

"We are tourists. We have been here for a week. We didn't expect that the road leading to the villa on the top of the mountain was blocked by mudslides..." Gu Shu spoke in a calm voice, and told what happened.

The woman looked curious, "You are foreigners!" She showed a very happy look, not at all vigilant and xenophobic as others said.She came over and squatted in front of them, and said, "This is what Lord Neptune means. Neptune wants you to live in the town."

"Lord Sea King?"

"Yes!" The woman pointed to the direction of the two candles, the empty table, "We are worshiping Lord Neptune!"

Gu Shu looked in the direction she pointed, her pupils shrank suddenly, she had never seen it before, and now there was a huge sculpture on the table in astonishment, the upper body was a human, the lower body was a fishtail, and a man holding a halberd in his hand .Gu Shu doubted herself a little, she felt that she was blind.

How did something so big come about?
"For Lord Neptune, you must be respectful, because...the Lord is still alive."

After finishing speaking, the woman got up and bowed three times to the statue.

"It is rumored that Master Neptune will return to the sea at night to drive away evil spirits, and he will return to the ancient temple at sunrise to bring wealth and a good harvest."

The woman raised her face, her eyes were a little confused, but it quickly became respectful.

Gu Shu also looked at the statue, feeling cold all over... Will the night return to the sea?She did not see the statue here yesterday.
