My Weird Life

   Chapter 10 Temple

   "Jingle dong dong!"

   Shadow Trick chased after him.

  Su Wu rang the imperial bell, and in the sound of the bell, the image was like a frame-dropped picture, moving forward one by one.

   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 imperial bell rang, the black hand attached to his arm would freeze for a while, and at the same time, his pain continued to subside.

   This ghost hand can act autonomously!

   Just now he tore off the fragments of the shadowy ghost and let himself grow flesh and blood. Although he was influenced by Su Wu's thoughts, it was the ghost hand himself who responded.

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

   His brain issued an instruction, and his own hands could respond instantly, and this instruction was transmitted to the ghost's hand, and it took a minute or more to respond slightly.

   In one minute, the day lilies are cold!

   "Jingle!"

  The sound of the imperial bell echoed in the alley.

  Su Wu dragged a dark and eerie ten-fingered ghost hand under his arm, and finally turned the corner of the alley and walked into the dim fork.

  Yinggui kept trying to stick out at the corner of the alleyway, its human-shaped head sticking out of the alleyway, its dark face without facial features facing 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.

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

  The streets are plunged into darkness—a precursor to the lantern trick.

When the    red lantern is about to fly into the sky, all the neon lights within its envelope will be extinguished and plunged into darkness, only the sky light can fall on the ground.

   Seeing this situation, Su Wu suddenly felt a sudden shock in his heart.

   He turned his head in an instant, and saw that there was only a dim light in the sky, and the corner of the alley was 'staring' at his shadow, which melted in an instant.

   The next moment, it appeared in the shadows around Su Wu!

   In an instant, people stood up, and the distance from Su Wu was only two meters away!

   "Jing dong dong dong dong dong-"

  Su Wu was so startled that his hair stood on end, but at the most dangerous moment, his wrist made the best choice on his own, and suddenly shook, the imperial bell rang, and the shadow was frozen in place!

   Thoughts exploded in my mind.

   "Before the lantern monster appears, all the lights will go out. When the street falls into a dark interval, the shadow monster can leave the unit building and continue to chase and kill itself."

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

   tread, tread, tread...

   The footsteps of Su Wu echoed in the fork.

   The shadow in front of him was pressing hard, but he was suppressed by the sound of the imperial bell, and he always kept a distance of two meters from Su Wu.

   It was less than a hundred paces, but Su Wu walked for about five minutes!

   Finally came to the fork in the road.

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

   But this time, even if it was illuminated by the crimson light, his head was well rested on his neck.

   Only the shadowy ghost in front of him disappeared like a bubble without any signs.

  Su Wu turned around and saw that under the crimson light, there were headless corpses in shops all over the street. They all maintained their last postures, like wax statues.

   His face was ugly.

   The worst guess is yet to come.

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

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

   The way it kills is completely random!

Whether    is reflected by the red light does not explain anything.

   As long as it rises, everyone within range may die, or all may be unscathed!

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

   "He! He!"

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

   He lowered his head to look at his right armpit: the ghost hand was swaying at will, and every time it moved, it caused Su Wu to experience severe pain!

   "Damn! Damn!"

  Su Wu clenched the imperial bell tightly and kept shaking it. At the same time, his brain kept sending out instructions to fight for control of the ghost hand.

Under the double suppression of   , the ghost hand became quiet.

   He looked around, and his eyes quickly settled on the small temple next to the shop with the signboard 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 radiated orange light, and it earned a foot in the long street full of crimson.

   "Just go there!"

  Su Wu no longer hesitated and ran wildly.

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

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

  Two models in bright, fashionable clothes;

   The third one is standing on the side. Her clothes are not bright and fashionable, but she has no head, which 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 quickly ran to the small temple.

   Covered by the orange light from the small temple, Su Wu felt that his physical and mental fatigue was relieved, and he felt an inexplicable sense of security.

   Even the ghost hand that needs to be constantly suppressed by the imperial bell has been quiet a lot.

   He frequently used the imperial bell to suppress the ghost hands, and found that the sound of the imperial bell could not affect the lanterns.

   Every palace lantern that looks like a blood-stained palace lantern rotates as usual in the sky, and not a single lantern pauses for a moment because of the sound of the imperial bell.

   The crimson fades away softly,

  Neon flashes all around,

  The whole place 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 is abruptly 'extruded' from the cake room on the left and the massage for the blind 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 on the street?"

   "Never seen."

   "It seemed like it appeared out of nowhere."

   Confused, Su Wu pushed open the half-covered black-lacquered temple door, stepped over the threshold separated by a wooden board, and walked into it, and immediately smelled the thick smoky smell of burning fire.

   He remembered that he lived in the countryside of his hometown when he was a child, and there was a land temple at the entrance of the street where he lived.

Because a group of old people hid in the temple all day to brag about cows and tell ghost stories. almost.

   There are no deity statues in this temple.

   There are no incense burners, offering tables, merit boxes, etc.

   Only a bucket-thick stone 'candlestick' was connected to the ground, and the candlestick was burning with orange fire.

  The flame does not know what fuelwood is used, but its burning brings infinite peace to Su Wu.
