My Father Is Definitely Possessed-Chapter 42: Corpses Suddenly Rise
Xu Muhai also agreed with Mu Qingge’s words.
"Disciple, stay close to me." Mu Qingge said to Yin Changli beside her.
"Okay." Yin Changli nervously stepped closer to Mu Qingge.
"Since we can’t get out here, we’ll have to find another way out."
The three of them cautiously walked forward.
The entire ancient temple was eerily silent.
So quiet that only the sound of the wind could be heard.
Even though Ghost Qi was rampant outside the ancient temple, it merely lingered outside without permeating into the temple’s interior.
There must be something inside the temple that deters the Ghost Qi, I suppose.
"Master, this place is so scary." Yin Changli said fearfully as he followed closely behind Mu Qingge.
"What is there to be afraid of? There’s nothing here." Mu Qingge laughed, "With your courage, you still want to become a Sword Immortal?"
"I... who said I was afraid." Hearing this, Yin Changli puffed out his chest, trying to show he wasn’t scared at all.
"Dragon Buddha Hall."
The three arrived in front of a large hall, the plaque above had fallen to the ground, but the three words were still legible.
Stepping into the hall, it was clear it had been abandoned for a long time. A distant altar had been overturned, and even one of the hall’s pillars was broken.
It was evident that a fierce battle had taken place here.
"Is that the Buddha?"
At this moment, Yin Changli saw the huge statue sitting in front of them.
The statue was massive, resembling a Buddha, but it was headless, as if something had chopped it off.
A headless Buddha, obviously more eerie and terrifying.
"Master, is this the Painting Treasure?" Yin Changli stepped forward, looking at the scattered scrolls on the ground, but the scrolls were tattered, their content unclear.
The scrolls had lost their spiritual essence and were now just scraps of paper.
It was hard to imagine the ferocity of the battle that once took place in this temple.
"There are words here." Xu Muhai walked to the statue and noticed black writing on it, which was easy to miss if not examined closely.
The blackened writing looked as if someone had written it in blood.
But over time, the color of the blood had turned black.
Yet the writing was still clearly visible.
’Do not enter the Ten Thousand Buddha Hall!’
Upon seeing these six words, the three of them felt a chill run down their spines.
The Ten Thousand Buddha Hall must be another large hall in this ancient temple; they initially sought an exit, encountering nothing strange. It brought them some comfort.
But these words instilled an eerie feeling.
What’s in the Ten Thousand Buddha Hall?
Why such a warning to stay away?
"Brother Changqing isn’t here right now, and we don’t know how he’s doing. We should find a way to leave this ancient temple quickly." Xu Muhai inhaled sharply, "This place, gives me a really bad feeling."
"Let’s go!" Mu Qingge turned and left with Yin Changli.
Xu Muhai followed as well.
The ancient temple was vast, and they bypassed the Dragon Buddha Hall, heading deeper into the temple.
As they walked, the sense of foreboding intensified.
After ascending a flight of stairs, they were shocked by the scene that unfolded before their eyes.
It was even more gruesome.
Bones were scattered everywhere.
All were skeletal remains, who knows how long they had been dead.
Upon seeing it, there were at least a hundred skeletons.
"Hee hee."
As they were astounded by the scene, a voice echoed in their minds.
"Who!"
Xu Muhai snarled.
They looked around, but no one was there.
The voice, as clear as a little girl’s laughter.
"Master, who was just laughing?" By now, Yin Changli was almost scared to wet his pants.
Mu Qingge’s face was also pale; she heard it too.
But it was impossible to tell where it came from.
"We need to be extremely careful." Xu Muhai quickly suggested.
They hurried to get past the bone-ridden area.
Who knew, after just ten steps, Yin Changli shouted as if startled: "Ah!"
"What’s wrong?" Mu Qingge, shocked by Yin Changli’s scream, asked, "Why are you screaming like a ghost?"
"M-Master." Yin Changli’s face turned ashen, his legs trembled, and his eyes darted downward.
Xu Muhai and Mu Qingge looked down, equally startled!
On Yin Changli’s ankle, there was a hand!
A bony hand, grasping Yin Changli’s foot, a skeleton on the ground.
"Get off!" Xu Muhai shouted, kicking the skeleton away.
But before they could wonder how the skeleton grabbed Yin Changli’s foot, a rustling sound emerged around them.
Soon, the long-decayed skeletons on the ground began to rise slowly.
Some skeletons held broken swords, and hundreds of skeletons stood up, surrounding the three.
"Hiss!"
The three gasped.
All of their cultivations were lost, and surrounded, they were powerless to resist.
"Run!"
The three ran towards a spot with fewer skeletons.
The skeletons, wielding swords and cleavers, chased after them.
Despite being skeletons, they were surprisingly swift.
"Ghosts!" Yin Changli exclaimed.
"These skeletons are being influenced by the Ghost Qi outside." Mu Qingge replied anxiously. "If they catch us, we’ll be chopped to bits."
As they turned the courtyard, they still faced numerous risen skeletons, watching them with hollow eye sockets, seemingly ready to devour them.
They had to keep changing direction, running elsewhere.
Turning numerous corners, passing a corridor and climbing some stairs, the skeletons behind numbered over five hundred.
"Master, I can’t run anymore." Yin Changli panted heavily.
"If you want to live, keep running."
With the True Essence unusable, merely relying on their physical bodies to escape proved difficult.
At that moment, the winds seemed to stand still.
They felt the world had gone silent. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢
The atmosphere was notably eerie.
The many skeletons chasing them appeared like a tide of corpses, quite terrifying.
"Master, they’re almost upon us!" Yin Changli said fearfully. "There’s a large hall ahead, with intact doors and windows. Let’s hide in there!"
"There really is..." Xu Muhai looked up and indeed saw a complete hall in front of them, unlike the dilapidated ones they’d encountered earlier.
The hall doors were tightly shut, with some indecipherable script on them.
But on the hall’s plaque, the words plunged them from hope back into despair.
Ten Thousand Buddha Hall!
They clearly remembered the words written in blood upon entering the ancient temple.
Do not enter the Ten Thousand Buddha Hall!
