Chapter 36 Who is staring at me
The interior of the temple feels connected to the outside world.
The swaying roof is covered with mottled signs of decay. Some stones at the corners have been broken into pieces. The paint on the door has peeled off. Some of the tiles on the roof have also fallen off, and tiny bits of light shine through.
As soon as you enter the temple, you will see a dim scene, the rotten trees blown in by the wind are flickering dimly, exuding a smell of decay in Huicheng. The ground was littered with flagstones eroded by corrosion and wind ash, and it smelled more like a rough patch of land than a temple.
After Chen Shu entered, he did not see an old Buddha statue, but on the altar table covered with dust, there was a clay statue of a cat - it was a cat in the true sense, with an elegant body and a slender figure. It is extremely exquisite, and it seems that the smoothness of its hair can be seen.
A pair of cat eyes also seem to come alive. You can't tell what color they are, but when you look straight at them, it seems like they are staring at you.
It can only be described as lifelike.
The interior of the temple is full of dust, mottled and decadent atmosphere, as if it had been abandoned and forgotten at the end of time, with no one to inherit it, only the years passing by quietly.
It seems that no matter what kind of place it is, as long as it is in a temple, people will subconsciously become quiet.
Especially after the arrival of the age of divinity, places such as temples and Taoist temples seem to have naturally carried a certain amount of divinity. Therefore, ordinary people will not roll around in such places at all.
The team of more than seventy people basically remained quiet at this time.
It's strange to say that this temple doesn't look big from the outside, but when you get inside, although it is dilapidated, it seems much more spacious.
I don’t know if it’s the thing itself, or it’s awakening some weird attributes.
"According to inference, this ruins is a temple built specifically for cats in ancient times."
"It's just that the remains are incomplete, so we can't know more about the truth yet."
Chen Shu suddenly thought of many things about cats:
“Cats have been given different statuses and symbolic meanings in different cultures and periods. In ancient Egypt, cats were worshiped as gods and regarded as patron saints and protectors. People often died while reverencing and caring for cats. Cats were mummified and sacrificed.”
"In the ancient Roman Empire and medieval Europe, cats were regarded as evil things and the embodiment of the devil. Because of their black fur, they were regarded as a bad omen and were persecuted, slaughtered and even burned."
"In ancient China, rats were a common problem in farmers' production, and cats, as expert mouse catchers, helped solve this problem to a certain extent. Therefore, cats are considered to be the most important thing in rural communities in some areas. Useful 'labor'."
However, building a temple for a cat seems a bit nonsense no matter how you think about it.
It can only be attributed to the ruins, and anything can happen.
But as Chen Shu stood quietly aside, the strange feeling in his heart became stronger and stronger - he had a strong premonition.
Someone is watching him.
His far-sightedness makes him extremely sensitive to other people's gazes, and this feeling is absolutely unmistakable.
Just looking around in this slightly empty temple, his perspective ability was almost used to the extreme, but he could not find the source of this gaze.
Until he looked at the clay sculpture on the altar table.
For the first time, Chen Shu encountered an object that his eyesight could not penetrate, as if he was facing a mass of invisible and intangible air. Even if Chen Shu tried to maximize his vision, it was just that his current Eyesight is far from reaching the point where it can observe the world with molecular weight, and it ultimately fails.
It seems like an illusion.
Chen Shu seemed to see a humanized look of ridicule flashing through the clay cat body's eyes, as if he was laughing at Chen Shu's overestimation of his abilities.
No, it’s not an illusion!
Gods don’t create illusions!
At least as a far-sighted god, Chen Shu didn't think that there would be any illusion after seeing it with his own eyes.
So, this thing is alive? !
God?
Evil spirit?
Warcraft?
Chen Shu frantically analyzed in his mind, but couldn't get an answer. He was just secretly shocked, but his face didn't show the slightest abnormality. Instead, he focused his attention elsewhere.
Whatever the hell this thing is.
Even Chen Shu knew that it was not something he could deal with for the time being.
Just thinking about the years this guy has lived, you can know that it will be difficult to deal with.
So, it's better not to mess around. If it makes big news, it would be really bad.
only.
The more Chen Shu stopped looking at him, the more excessive his gaze became. No matter where he stood, he could feel the obvious gaze.
Chen Shu: You're stuck with me, right?
But now he has an even stranger thought in his mind, which is why no one discovered it before?
This kind of gaze is not difficult for a more powerful divine master to sense.
If it is really detected, the ultra-small ruins here should not have such a low rating.
It can’t be because of looks, right?
Or is it because I am a god?
for the rest of the time.
Chen Shu finally realized what it meant to feel like sitting on pins and needles, like a thorn in the back, or like a lump in the throat.
Fortunately, nothing unusual happened until they left the temple, which made Chen Shu breathe a sigh of relief.
He looked back at the temple with lingering fear. At this time, he felt that the so-called hill looked more and more like a tomb.
"Never again."
He thought secretly in his heart.
Follow the same path all the way back.
Still nothing unusual happened.
There is no distinction between day and night in the ruins. It is always daytime. No matter how great the curiosity is, it will be worn away by fatigue and unchangingness. On the way back, the crowd was silent for a long time.
Even many teenagers were disappointed. The "adventure" they originally imagined in their hearts turned into a spring outing.
But not until it was time to walk out of the ruins.
Something went wrong.
"Big orange..."
"My big orange is missing!"
Among the crowd, a girl from another class had a cry in her voice.
Daju was a pet cat she kept. It looked overgrown and fat. She brought it with her because she heard it was a relic with a name like [Mancat Temple].
I just don’t know when I lost it.
When I asked her, even she couldn't remember clearly, she just said that she only remembered holding him in her arms all the time.
Of course, it is impossible to go out of your way to find a pet cat. Moreover, pet cats in this environment may be in danger.
In the end, if he delayed the crowd for three or four minutes, he could only consider himself unlucky.
Seeing the girl crying, several girls around her comforted her.
Chen Shu only felt noisy.
He even wanted to go up and give her a big pussy fight.
because.
He looked at the "lost" fat orange cat, standing at her feet with its head tilted, staring at him with a strange meaning in its cat eyes.
But no one saw it.
