Chapter 1084 The Six Paths of the Gods! (12)

Of the three people kneeling on the ground, except for the child in Dou Niang's arms who dared to open his ignorant eyes to look at the figure who seemed to be shrouded in a dark miasma, the other two people kept their heads close to the ground, each trying their best to suppress their breathing.

Dou Niang trembled and reached out her hand to press the child's head.

At this time, the figure who looked like a senior official suddenly asked a question. Her heart was pounding, but she didn't understand what the other party asked at all.

But the old woman next to her reacted quickly and said repeatedly: "Replying to the adults, we have only been to this wild temple for a short time, and we don't know if anyone has been here before!

As for making a wish to the painting on the wall... I don't know."

The man, whose figure was wrapped in a large and gloomy official robe, and whose face looked even more gloomy, shook his head when he heard it: "I have to waste another night, what a pity..."

He glanced back and forth between the old woman and the young woman, and finally looked at the boy whose head was forcibly lowered by Dou Niang.

The horse-faced man grinned, which made people feel even more creepy.

"This baby is good..."

The skinny hand, with only a piece of skin covering the dark blood vessels and bones, stretched out from the man's sleeve and reached out to the boy who broke free from his mother's hand and raised his head.

At this time.

Suddenly, footsteps sounded outside the temple gate.

The man in the temple looked fierce--

Then, he suddenly felt an indescribable sense of fear. This sense of fear made him feel that the air filled with the surroundings became unsafe, as if there were sharp blades everywhere-he suddenly retracted his palm, and did not turn his head to see who was behind him. He shook the hem of his robe and sat down on the ground next to the fire.

"The weather is too cold, let's light a fire to warm up..."

The man muttered a few words to himself, picked up a few branches and threw them into the fire.

The scattered flames in the fire gave off a little heat, and after accumulating for a while, they finally ignited the thin branches, and the flames jumped again in the small temple.

Several figures stepped into the wild temple, and the swaying firelight reflected the shadows of the latecomers, sometimes interlaced and sometimes overlapped on the walls and the ground.

The half-grown boy who stayed at the end turned back and closed the temple door.

The cold wind outside the temple finally stopped blowing into the temple.

The man in the official robe beside the fire sat up straighter, watching the tall young man sitting down beside the fire opposite him, and the tall and thin old man behind him bowed and waited beside him.

The figures of these latecomers just blocked the mother and son of the damselfly and the old woman behind them.

A warmer breath circulated in this temple with a big hole in the roof. The warmth brought comfort to people, and gave the mother and son of the damselfly and the old woman who were kneeling on the ground a little courage in their hearts.

They raised their heads cautiously and saw the young men standing in front of them. Their eyes passed through the gaps between the young men and saw Su Wu sitting by the fire.

Dou Niang saw Su Wu's profile and was a little surprised.

She recognized who Su Wu was.

But in this situation, no one took the initiative to speak, and she didn't dare to say anything at this time.

Su Wu raised his eyes and looked at the man in official uniform opposite him. When the man met Su Wu's eyes, the feeling in his heart that made him shudder, as if there were sharp knives on his neck, hanging on his neck, and against his chest, suddenly broke out. The fine hairs on his face were all erected by this sense of terror!

The man lowered his head, dared not speak, and dared not look into Su Wu's eyes again!

But the other party's voice slowly flowed into his ears, the voice was calm, as if nothing had happened: "Looking at your appearance and dress, you don't look like a Han Chinese.

A bannerman?"

"Yes, yes..." The man was unwilling to answer Su Wu's question, but his mouth was out of control and he told the truth directly.

"What's your name?"

"Bao Bao. The Manchu name is 'Yilegen Alinbao'."

"The dead officials in the wild forest in front of the valley, were they the officials who came with you?"

Hearing Su Wu's question, 'Bao Bao' immediately wanted to fight against the power that came from nowhere and did not respond to the other party's question, but he was powerless to fight, just shaking all over, and replied like sifting chaff: "Yes... yes..."

"Looking at the clothes you are wearing, you are also an official appointed by the court.

What are you doing here?" Su Wu's eyes lingered slightly on the 'Hongshu patch' on the chest of Bao Bao's official uniform. The Hongshu patch was the patch on the court uniform of the seventh-rank civil officials in the Qing Dynasty.

A seventh-rank official must be a county magistrate in a foreign county or a county magistrate in a capital county.

It is rare for a bannerman to serve as a county magistrate in a foreign county.

Most of the Eight Banners children are still resting on their laurels, eating, drinking and having fun every day, enjoying the splendor and wealth in the capital.

"I received the emperor's order to go to Kaocheng County in the Central Plains to serve as the county magistrate, and I just happened to pass by here." Bao Bao answered with his head down. When facing Su Wu, he was always wrapped in that unspeakable fear, so much so that he called himself a slave in front of Su Wu, who was not his master at all!

"Why did those officials die?

Were they killed by you?" Su Wu asked again.

As soon as this question was raised, Bao Bao, the respondent, had a distorted face. His face was full of anger, struggle, and fear. The two completely different emotions appeared on his face, making his expression look weird and distorted. He shook his head violently, wishing he could break his neck, but he kept saying, "Those officials died because of me, but I didn't kill them!

I, I use them to experience the "Hell Transformation"..."

Su Wu's eyes suddenly lit up, staring at Bao Bao and asked, "What is the Hell Transformation?"

"Hell Transformation, Hell Transformation is--" Bao Bao's head shook more violently, so that 'his' voice became unclear and intermittent. He trembled all over, trying to respond to Su Wu's question uncontrollably-but at this moment, his skin suddenly turned yellow, mottled and rolled up, like a layer of paper that had been soaked by the years, and layers of paper rolled up on his mottled and yellowed face!

Bao Bao's entire face turned into a paper face. This face was completely different from his original image. It was a man with leopard eyes and ring eyes drawn on paper!

Swish!

'He' struggled to get up, but the paper wrapped around his body tore in the process of struggling.

The paper with the leopard eyes and ring eyes on his face also fell off his face.

Under that paper face, there was another paper face!

The face of this paper face was a man who looked quite handsome -

Su Wu watched Bao Bao struggle to get up and picked up the paper face that fell off his face. He recognized the leopard eyes and ring eyes face and the handsome face - these two faces belonged to the two officials who died earlier!

The shadows around him were churning and submerged Bao Bao's knees.

Bao Bao was unable to move under Su Wu's shadow, and he couldn't even struggle!

"What is hell?"

Su Wu sat by the fire, picked up another official's face that had fallen off Bao Bao's face, and continued to ask him.

Bao Bao knelt on the ground like a golden mountain being pushed down by a jade pillar, and kept kowtowing to Su Wu: "Master! Master! You are the master! Please spare me - please spare me this time!"

While he kept kowtowing, pieces of paper faces kept falling off his face.

A total of 27 pieces of paper skin fell off his body.

It corresponded to the 27 officials who had died before.

After all the paper skin fell off, Bao Bao's face became blank, and under the human skin, the outlines of his facial features slightly protruded, but he could never grow real facial features.

Su Wu shook his head, looked at Bao Bao's face without facial features, and said: "I roughly understand what you call 'Hell Transformation' - but those are just my guesses after all.

You have to explain the real situation to me.

Tell me, what is Hell Transformation?"

"People who are not in the six paths of the gods will be transferred to the six paths of the gods after passing the punishment of hell. This is Hell Transformation..." After Bao Bao replied, he fell to the ground as if all the bones and muscles in his body were pulled out.
