Shen Yaowei suddenly stopped and looked at the Mountain God Temple beside her.
As she got closer, she realized that this small temple was built very uniquely. The door was like a person’s open mouth. There were two handles on the door, and above the handles were two circular black windows.
Overall, it looked like a human face shouting in despair, especially the dark window. It looked like a pair of hollowed-out eyes, making one’s scalp tingle.
“Yaoyao, why aren’t you leaving?” Shen Yuyan asked.
At this moment, another voice came from the Mountain God Temple.
“Yaoyao, come here.”
It was still Huo Junhan’s.
Shen Yaowei glanced at Shen Yuyan and saw him looking at her in confusion. She knew that he definitely didn’t hear that voice.
Clearly, there was something in the Mountain God Temple that was luring her in.
Shen Yaowei had come to Oriole Mountain to help investigate the clues, so she said to Shen Yuyan, “Third Brother, 1 want to go in and take a look.”
After saying that, she didn’t give Shen Yuyan a chance to reject her, but turned and walked straight into the Mountain God Temple.
Seeing that, Shen Yuyan hurriedly followed her.
There was only one small temple, and the space inside was very narrow.
The air was filled with a strong smell of inferior sandalwood. The sunlight from outside shone through the door and window, barely bringing some light to the small and cramped room.
It also allowed Shen Yaowei and Shen Yuyan to see the scene inside clearly.
The first thing they saw was the table facing the door. On the table were pastries and fruits that looked relatively fresh. Burning incense sticks were densely inserted in the incense burner, and behind the table was a stone statue.
Shen Yaowei’s gaze landed on the stone statue and happened to meet the two rubies embedded in the stone statue’s head.
In an instant, she had the feeling that there was a pair of eyes spying on her from behind the gemstone, making her heart beat faster uncontrollably.
After skillfully making a Heart Cleansing Chant, Shen Yaowei placed her hand on Shen Yuyan’s arm.
Shen Yuyan was also looking at the stone statue just now. He also looked at the pair of rubies and felt the same as Shen Yaowei.
Just as his heart raced and the blood in his body began to stir, a warm little hand was placed on his shoulder, making him shiver.
At this moment, his eyes regained clarity, and the discomfort in his body disappeared.
“Third Brother, is this the Mountain God?” Shen Yaowei pointed at the stone statue in front of her.
The stone statue looked to be more than a foot tall. It sat upright on the lotus flower stone platform. Its appearance and figure looked very much like a Bodhisattva. It had a smile on its face, but its ruby-studded eyes added a hint of evilness.
Not only that, but Shen Yaowei also realized that there was something wrong with the stone statue’s gesture. One of its hands was placed vertically on its knee, and the posture of the other hand was a little strange. Its ring finger and thumb were interlocked, and its pinky was slightly bent. Its middle finger and ring finger were pointed at the main entrance of the small temple.
Shen Yaowei found this gesture familiar. She felt like she had seen it in a book.
However, she couldn’t remember the details.
Shen Yuyan narrowed his eyes and looked at the stone statue again. Then, he slowly nodded and said, “1 think so. But, there’s something strange about this Mountain God. 1 can’t trust him. Let’s get out of here as soon as possible.”
Shen Yaowei looked at the stone statue’s gesture again and committed it to memory. Then, she turned around and walked out of the temple with Shen Yuyan.
At this moment, Shen Yaowei and Shen Yuyan didn’t notice that when they stepped out of the Mountain God Temple, the head of the stone statue moved slightly.. Then, the smile on its face disappeared, and its ruby-studded eyes gradually became covered with a few traces of black mist…
