Everyone rushed forward to help Wang Jie up and brushed the dust off his body.
Fortunately, it was just a minor scrape on the leg. Song Jiarou found a herbal medicine for bruises and applied it on Wang Jie's wound, and he was not seriously injured.
Lin Mobai looked up and observed his surroundings. There seemed to be nothing unusual in the temple. The walls were covered with green moss, and at first glance, there were only some broken bricks and tiles.
But suddenly, a vague figure appeared in the yard, about five or six meters away from them, walking aimlessly and staggeringly.
When Lin Mobai saw clearly, he found that it was an old woman in ragged clothes and looked very old! She was short, only as tall as the table, but her back was bulging high, about one or two feet long.
Lin Mobai looked at her, only to see her turn her head and meet Lin Mobai's eyes. Under her gray hair was a face full of wrinkles, her entire face was as white as if it was smeared with several pounds of flour. Her pair of small eyes like bottle caps were narrowed into a slit, staring at Lin Mobai fiercely.
"Look there?!" Lin Mobai pointed at the old woman in the courtyard of the ancient temple and shouted.
"What? What did you see?" Everyone looked at Lin Mobai in confusion.
It seems that the white-faced old woman seemed to be deliberately hiding her tracks and only letting Lin Mobai see her
Urgently, the old woman gave Lin Mobai a strange and sinister smile, then continued to stagger into the house of the ancient temple.
Lin Mobai raised his index finger to his lips, signaling the two people beside him to keep quiet, and slowly followed the old woman into the house inside the temple.
When the three of them walked into the house, they found it was a typical old-style brick house. The house was covered with dust, and the beams were covered with dense spider webs, with several thumb-sized spiders crawling on them.
Continuing to walk into the house, I saw a dry well standing in the middle. The well had been in disrepair for many years and was covered with dark green moss.
“Why is this well built inside the house?”
“When I was a child, my grandfather told me that a well is a place where negative energy gathers. If there is a well in the house, it will bring misfortune to the people and wealth, and it will destroy the fortune of the family.” Wang Jie said seriously upon seeing this.
"And from a scientific point of view, a well inside a house will increase the humidity in the house, and the well walls will easily collapse, which is not good for the foundation of the house." Song Jiarou added with a frown.
Lin Mobai walked to the well and looked around. He saw that it was pitch black inside and had no bottom.
He picked up a fist-sized stone at his feet and threw it into the bottom of the well. It was only after about ten seconds that he heard a faint impact sound.
"Hey Mobai, how about we go? I always feel like someone is watching me from behind." Wang Jie patted Lin Mobai's shoulder gently and said in a low voice.
"Yeah..." Lin Mobai nodded.
However, Lin Mobai was not afraid of the horrific scene just now. This dilapidated temple was too weird. If he were to bring these three ordinary people with him and encounter any danger, it would be troublesome.
Just as they took a few steps and had not yet left the house, they heard a loud noise.
"boom"
The floor tiles underfoot began to collapse at an extremely fast speed. With a loud bang, everyone's feet had sunk one meter deep.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Lin Mobai quickly closed his eyes, stretched out his hand to lift Wang Jie, and transferred the true energy from his dantian to gather on his feet.
The speed of the floor tiles collapse was still accelerating, and in a blink of an eye, it was over everyone's heads. Lin Mobai jumped and jumped directly out of the room.
Lin Mobai and Wang Jie stood in the yard and looked down. They saw that Song Jiarou and Zhao Feng had disappeared, and there was only a bottomless, dark pit below.
"Song Jiarou, Zhao Feng!!"
He shouted their names, but there was no response.
Lin Mobai was immediately furious: "This isn't an online novel, how could it be such a coincidence?!"
"Mo Bai, what should we do?" Wang Jie on the side also had a look of anxiety on his face.
"Go down and save them!"
Wang Jie ran out of the ancient temple and retrieved a vine from outside. He tied it to a pillar in the yard and pulled it hard to make sure it was strong enough.
Although the pit was deep, it was shaped like a slope. Lin Mobai was the first to slide down along the rope, followed closely by Wang Jie.
After successfully landing, Lin Mobai turned on the flashlight and saw that the big pit was in a right angle shape, and there was a dirt tunnel in front of Lin Mobai and Wang Jie.
The two of them groped forward step by step following the light of the flashlight.
But after walking for a while, suddenly, they heard a burst of light footsteps behind them, and Wang Jie suddenly felt a chill on his back.
"Click, click, click..." Lin Mobai couldn't help wondering, this footstep was definitely not Song Jiarou's! Song Jiarou looked less than 100 pounds, and she definitely couldn't make such footsteps. This footstep sounded slow and dull.
"Song Jiarou!"
Lin Mobai called out tentatively, but there was no response.
Since those footsteps were not from Lin Mobai and Wang Jie, nor from Song Jiarou and Zhao Feng, then whose footsteps could it be
As the two slowly walked towards the tunnel, the footsteps became clearer and clearer, "click, click..." one after another like a death warrant.
The tunnel became smaller and smaller as it extended forward, and in the end it could only barely accommodate two people.
Lin Mobai shone the flashlight forward and saw a door appear in front of him.
The door was covered in stains and it was difficult to tell what material it was made of, but one could clearly see that there was a pattern of a terrifying human face and a scorpion body engraved on the door, and near the pattern there were some densely packed strange runes that were difficult to understand.
Lin Mobai placed one hand against the door, trying to transfer the true energy from his dantian and pour it into the door.
Suddenly, the words on the door flashed a faint green light.
"Is... is it Yewen?" Lin Mobai was extremely confused and carefully observed the words written on the door.
Yewen is the universal script used in scriptures and techniques written in heaven, and was created by the two ancient gods, the Sun and the Moon. Although it is just words, pure spiritual energy is required to write each word. The stronger and purer the spiritual energy infused, the more ferocious and powerful the power released by the scroll will be.
Lin Mobai was the Inscription Emperor of the Immortal Realm in his previous life, and was proficient in almost all techniques and books, but he was inevitably surprised to see this kind of text in the mortal world.
"During the ancient times... no one was allowed to enter... Wan Lei..." The back was completely covered by stains.
The content on the door seems to be a warning not to enter.
Lin Mobai put away his true energy, but a strange scene happened.
As the true energy was retracted, the bronze door slowly opened with the sound of a harsh stone mill. As the bronze door opened, an ancient atmosphere that seemed to have been sealed for thousands of years suddenly came to the face.
It was pitch black inside the bronze door. When the strong flashlight beamed in, the endless darkness immediately swallowed up the flashlight's light.
As soon as the two of them stepped inside, suddenly! A woman's cold laughter came out from inside, instantly resounding throughout the tunnel.
It’s estimated that no one has been to this kind of place for thousands of years. How could there be such a terrifying laugh
Wang Jie stopped walking immediately, and was so frightened that he yelled, "Who, who the hell is playing tricks here?"
