Marry a eunuch to catch demons

Seeing that the peasant woman was really enthusiastic, Ye Ge was a little undecided, but heard Xie Zhen say: "Thank you, auntie, but the family members should have come to look for it now, if we go with you, I'm afraid we will be separated from them. "

"Hey, our village is very close to here. Let's go there once and then come back. It won't be a problem." The woman pointed to the direction of the forest and persuaded a few more words.It's just that for some reason, Ye Ge looked at her simple smile and always felt that something was wrong, but when she thought about it carefully, she really couldn't think of it.

"It's really unnecessary." Xie Zhen shook his head with a smile, his tone was still gentle, but his rejection was obvious.

Seeing that she couldn't persuade the peasant woman, the smile on her face retreated a little, but she still chatted with them enthusiastically, then she turned around and walked up the mountain road with the basket in hand.

Ye Ge watched her gradually go away, and was about to say something to Xie Zhen, but saw a faint white smoke from the cigarette stick in Xie Zhen's hand at some point.

"Ge'er noticed it just now?" Xie Zhen took a shallow puff of white smoke, and reached out to touch Ye Ge's temples.

"Her, is there any problem?" Hearing what Xie Zhen said, Ye Ge took out a pen and a notebook and asked.

"Now it seems that she is just an ordinary woman, but—" Xie Zhen smiled lightly, the cigarette rod moved slightly, and a wisp of white smoke snaked out from the faucet and floated out of the car window soundlessly, thinking The woman went in the direction she left.

"What's the matter, we still need to go and see," Xie Zhen lowered his eyes after speaking, and traced the unfading corners of Ye Ge's eyes with his fingertips: "Do you still dare to go, little pigeon?"

Ye Ge blinked her swollen eyes, hesitated for a moment, but finally followed the feeling in her heart and hugged Xie Zhen's arm.

"Go, sir, I will go."

Xie Zhen looked into Ye Ge's eyes, clearly read such an answer, and couldn't help nodding his forehead again: "Okay, then let's go and have a look together."

"However, it doesn't work now, I'm afraid it will be better at night."

"The things in this mountain are getting more and more interesting."

Another night, Xie Zhen took Ye Ge and drove into the forest again with a car full of gas.

The mountain road this time seemed to be no different from before, just as dark and oppressive.

In order to prevent being discovered by the monster in the mountain, Xie Zhen's half-pig faucet left only a very faint white smoke, which was far away from the white smoke that followed Nongfu Mountain during the day. Hook up.

Ye Ge looked out of the window nervously. Sure enough, it didn't take long before he noticed something strange. The surrounding scenery was still changing, but this time, they didn't come to the way down the mountain. Four or ten minutes later, they still Walking forward in a meandering way, the dark forest ahead seems to have no end in sight.

Xie Zhen stopped the car, turned to look at Ye Ge: "Are you ready?"

Ye Ge nodded twice, and took Xie Zhen's hand.

The two quickly left the car, as if the last barrier had been removed. When the cold wind blew, Ye Ge couldn't help shrinking her shoulders and leaned against Xie Zhen's side.At this moment, he somewhat understood why Xie Chongzu and Baoying were so frightened.

Xie Zhen knew that although his little pigeon was stubborn, he was still scared, so he put his arms around his shoulders: "Don't worry, your husband won't let you get into trouble."

Do you still have to tease me at a time like this... Ye Ge muttered inwardly, but couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth.

White smoke continued to emerge from the half-pipe, although it was extremely faint, it was enough for them to see the direction of guidance.

The forests on both sides are getting thicker and thicker, even the fallen leaves and the jagged dead branches are enough to block the moonlight.And the road they can walk is getting narrower and narrower, it doesn't look like there are people living at all.

At this moment, Ye Ge suddenly heard what seemed to be a sound, as if many people were walking in unison, hurrying forward.

But in this kind of place, how could there be so many people?Ye Ge was puzzled, but Xie Zhen's pace slowed down. He knew that they should have found it.

"Follow me, be careful not to make any noise." Xie Zhenfu said in Ye Ge's ear.

Ye Ge nodded quickly, and then slowly entered the dense forest with Xie Zhen.The two were very cautious, trying to control the sound of their feet, and approached the crowd moving forward in the dark little by little.

Through the many branches, Ye Ge vaguely saw tiny lights, which were lifted to the height of a person and lined up in a long row.

After walking in again, Ye Ge suddenly realized, and at the same time broke out in a cold sweat. Where are the little lights? They are clearly the eyes of beasts, which suddenly grow on the faces of people, and they are shining fiercely and bloodthirsty. of light.

And among the crowd, Ye Ge saw the simple peasant woman in the daytime at a glance, and saw that she also had a pair of weird eyes at the moment, and her face was cold and fierce, completely different from the daytime.

"They, is this still a human?" Ye Ge looked at the peasant woman in astonishment, and wrote on Xie Zhen's hand.

Xie Zhen shook his head, and wrote on Ye Ge's hand with a slightly cool tobacco stick: "I'm afraid it's not anymore."

Or... it wasn't.

Ye Ge and Xie Zhen followed the beast-eyed men, keeping a certain distance from them all the time.

He had no doubt that if the beast-eyed people found out at this moment, they would definitely pounce on him and Xie Zhen and tear him to pieces.

In the vast and deep forest, they could hardly tell the direction. According to the time on Xie Zhen's watch, they had been walking for almost an hour.

At this time, in front of the orc-eyed man, a small temple-shaped hut appeared faintly.

Ye Ge immediately thought of what Xie Chongzu said before, which enshrines a small temple with no eyes.

The house was not necessarily much bigger than the Earth Temple in Cangcheng, and was soon surrounded by those beast-eyed people.

The beast-eyed people suddenly let out bursts of angry roars. The sound was by no means human-like, but rather like a mixture of various beasts.

Then, they began to do their best to attack the dilapidated temple that seemed to be collapsing in the next moment.

But the temple didn't know why, no matter how the beast-eyed people attacked, it still didn't move at all.

But those orc-eyed people didn't stop attacking. They seemed to be unable to see that their own could not hurt the temple at all, and continued to vent their anger, rushing towards the temple madly.

This behavior continued until a quarter past twelve, when those beast-eyed people suddenly fell silent as if they had received a silent order.Immediately afterwards, they formed a long line as they did when they came before, and walked into the depths of the dense forest.

Seeing those beast-eyed people leaving, Ye Ge immediately asked in Xie Zhen's hand, "Sir, shall we follow?"

Xie Zhen had no intention of leaving, but shook his head: "No hurry, let's go to the temple first."

After finishing speaking, the two of them waited until all the beast-eyed people had disappeared before walking cautiously towards the small ruined temple.

Unlike the obstacles that the orc-eyed man received, Ye Ge and Xie Zhen entered the temple very smoothly.

Ye Ge opened his eyes wide and looked at the room in front of him as carefully as possible. Just as Xie Chongzu described before, this small temple is indeed surrounded by disciples. Only a stone statue as tall as a person is enshrined on the desk in the middle.

With Xie Zhen's permission, Ye Ge walked a few steps closer to the stone statue so that he could see it more clearly.I saw that although the stone statue was damaged on the surface, it was still recognizable. He was wearing official robes, holding a booklet in his left hand, and a pen in his right hand. .

"Did the pigeon see anything?" Ever since he entered the small temple, Xie Zhen had been looking at the stone statue, half-pig sticking his cigarette stick to his mouth intentionally or unintentionally, seeing Ye Ge's serious look, not only rubbing asked his head.

"This may be a judge," Ye Ge hurriedly took Xie Zhen's hand when Xie Zhen asked, wrinkled his little nose and wrote in thought: "But it doesn't look very similar, anyway, I'm in the judge temple next door It’s not the same as what you see in acting.”

"Yes, this is indeed a judge, but it is not an ordinary judge." Xie Zhen nodded, tapped the tip of Ye Ge's nose with his finger as a reward, and then explained: "The judges we usually see are mostly Characters like Zhong Kui and Lu Juan are judges."

"But this stone statue is also a judge, but what he judged was not a human, but a demon. This is a demon judge."

Demon judge...Ye Ge silently recited these two words, and his eyes fell on the face of the stone statue. The most striking thing was the pair of black and imperceptible eye sockets.

At first, he thought that the eyeballs of this stone statue were probably made of some precious stone, so they were stolen and sold by thieves, which is also a common thing at the foot of the mountain.

But after what Xie Zhen said just now, Ye Ge also instinctively felt that things might not be that simple.

"Then why were his eyes gouged out?" Ye Ge asked in Xie Zhen's hand.

"The demon judge is specially used to judge demons and suppress demons. If someone doesn't want him to be suppressed, he will naturally be destroyed." Xie Zhen rubbed his thumb on the cigarette stick and said, but when he was about to finish, he sneered again: "It's just that he Not greedy enough, I want to release the monster and take this judge for my own use, so I just gouged out his eyes."

Guarding monsters?Ye Ge quickly thought of those beast-eyed people, and he tried to straighten out the incident: "That is to say, at first there was a demon here, and then it was restrained by the demon statue, and then someone wanted to release it. A monster, so I gouged out his eyes..."

"Those beast-eyed people hate this small temple so much because they were once suppressed by it?"

"It's probably because of this," Xie Zhen said while stepping forward, and tapped the stone statue twice with the cigarette stick in his hand: "However, I guess there are other reasons."

Ye Ge blinked, and when she was about to ask what it was, Xie Zhen held her hand: "Let's go, let's go and see those orc-eyed people."

"What about this stone statue?" Ye Ge was a little dazed. He could clearly feel that more things could be dug up from the stone statue and the small temple. He really didn't understand why Xie Zhen suddenly wanted to see the orc-eyed man again.

"Stone statue," Xie Zhen raised his eyes slightly, looked again at the statue of the demon judge who had lost his eyes, and then smiled at Ye Ge: "It's not too late."

The small temples and stone statues here are full of weirdness, but when Xie Zhen probed, he didn't find anything unusual.Xie Zhen turned the cigarette stick in his hand and retracted it into his sleeve, already making a guess in his heart.

Or, after the stone statue had its eyes gouged out, it was really useless.But if this is the case, then Xie Chongzu's experience the night before is obviously unreasonable.

That being the case, it is likely to be the second reason - the time has not yet come.
