After traveling through the book, I conquered the male protagonist Long Aotian!

Although Chu Lingxiao was covered with a red veil that blocked his vision, and Gu Qingze was very careful in treating the wound, he still detected Gu Qingze's subtle movements with his extremely keen perception.

His tone was firm, as if he already had the answer in his mind, and he slowly said: "Qingze, you are injured."

Gu Qingze was slightly startled, then he showed a warm smile. It was obvious that he was injured, but he subconsciously comforted Chu Lingxiao: "It's okay, it will be fine soon, Lingxiao, don't worry."

"........"

Upon hearing this, Chu Lingxiao fell into silence. His face was covered by the red veil, making it impossible to glimpse his expression at the moment.

In the dim light, the red veil looked like a burning mysterious flame, yet it gave people an elusive feeling.

After a while, he spoke again, his voice calm and firm: "Let's keep going."

They walked for a while and saw an old and dilapidated temple in front of them. The temple seemed to be a corner forgotten by time. Chu Lingxiao stopped and said softly, "This is it."

His voice echoed in the silent air, and Gu Qingze raised his head and looked at the temple.

The walls of the temple were mottled, the tiles on the roof were incomplete, and there was something strange about it. Gu Qingze asked in confusion, "Is there anything special about this place?"

Chu Lingxiao explained: "When I was in the sedan chair, I felt a special breath coming from this direction."

The two of them walked slowly into the temple, which was filled with a stale smell and a faint stench of decay. However, it was not too obvious and was just floating in the air.

As soon as they entered, Gu Qingze's eyes were attracted by the center of the temple.

There is a huge statue there. Although it is covered with dust, its majestic appearance can still be seen.

After Chu Lingxiao walked around the statue, he stopped and said, "There's nothing unusual about this statue."

Gu Qingze walked forward and observed the statue carefully.

Although the face of the statue is covered with dust, its solemn expression can still be seen.

He nodded and said, "There is indeed nothing unusual."

"I thought the stench was coming from the statue. For example, the statue was actually hollow and there was a corpse hidden inside. After all, the statue looked quite large."

"After all, this is a statue of a deity, and it was made based on a certain immortal who ascended to heaven. Even though it is dilapidated now, it is natural that it should be a little different. Maybe it even has a hint of immortal spirit."

Chu Lingxiao heard this, and looked thoughtful, muttering softly: "Fairy spirit..."

After seeing that there was nothing unusual about the statue, the two of them ignored it and continued to explore deeper.

It doesn't matter if you don't explore it, but you'll be shocked once you do.

A group of women wearing red wedding gowns and red veils stood straight in front of them. The scene was like a strange dream, which made people shudder.

"Isn't this rigor mortis?"

Gu Qingze became even more alert, and there was a hint of nervousness in his eyes.

An inexplicable premonition arose in his heart, as if the brides would suddenly move.

He didn't know why, maybe it was because he had watched too many horror movies, or maybe it was the mysterious atmosphere in the temple that made him feel uneasy.

"It's confirmed. The stench of corpses we smelled came from here, from the brides."

"Hmm... If nothing unexpected happens, they are the missing brides from Cangyun City."

"Since we can smell the stench of corpses from these brides, they must be...dead and are now in corpse form."

He was still analyzing, but Chu Lingxiao broke away from him and slowly approached the brides...

Gu Qingze was extremely anxious and called out loudly, "Ling Xiao!"

His voice echoed in the temple, full of worry and anxiety.

It would undoubtedly be extremely dangerous to rush forward before understanding the situation clearly.

However, Chu Lingxiao's steps did not stop at all because of his call, and he continued to walk there steadily.

His figure appeared firm and resolute in the dim light, as if he had an extremely clear goal in his mind.

Chu Lingxiao's voice was extremely calm: "Qingze, only if I go over there, the ghost cultivator will show up. There are already eleven brides here, and now we only need one..."

Gu Qingze only had a vague idea of ​​what was going on, and his mind was racing as he tried to comprehend Chu Lingxiao's intentions.

Before he could think it through, Chu Lingxiao had already stood with the brides and stopped moving.

"Qingze, it's up to you now. I need you to buy me some time."

As soon as Chu Lingxiao finished speaking, a strange noise suddenly came from outside the temple.

How to describe that kind of movement?

It's like a person has a lot of bells hanging on his body, tinkling, or like the calls of many goldfinches. If you listen carefully, it even sounds like the sound of a large triangle being struck.

The sound is crisp and ethereal. If it were taken out alone, it might not be scary, but instead it has a different rhythm.

However, in this dead silent atmosphere, the sound seemed particularly abrupt, causing an inexplicable fear to surge in people's hearts.

The bell-like sound gradually became louder and louder, like a tide coming from far away.

Less than half a moment later, the sound came to the door. With a "creaky" sound, the door was slowly pushed open.
