Chapter 336 Strange Black Shadow
In the main hall, Shen Yao gathered all the cushions in the hall together.
These cushions are all round and are now placed side by side. Although there is space in the middle, it is still enough to sleep for a while.
There were not many people in the main hall, except for them, there were a few young monks in the temple.
When the abbot was not there, the young monks all listened to the oldest one.
When Pei Yan walked in holding Gu Chaoxi, Qin Wei had just turned over on the futon and was about to lie down.
When Qin Wei saw them, his eyes lit up and he straightened up instantly.
"What happened to you, little cutie?"
She moved her body, but did not stand up from the mat. She just tilted her head and asked.
Pei Yan laughed and glanced at the person who was sleeping soundly in his arms.
"It's okay, I'm just too sleepy." As he said that, he slowly bent down and knelt on one knee on the ground, then placed Gu Chaoxi next to Qin Wei.
He protected her head and let her lie down slowly, then he pulled his hand away.
"Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Pei Yan asked Qin Wei while looking up.
She shook her head and said it was actually okay.
The cushions in the main hall are relatively soft, and you don’t feel the hardness of the floor when you lie on them.
It’s just that I’m used to sleeping with a pillow, so suddenly lying completely flat like this still feels a little uncomfortable.
Although candles were burning in the main hall, the light was not very strong.
The residual light of the candle shone on the face of the Buddha, and the Buddha seemed to be looking down at them.
When you lie down and look up, you will see the upturned Buddha statue staring at you. To be honest, it is a little scary.
Several people lay side by side on the futons, and there were only four quilts for eight people.
Pei Yan, who was leaning on the side, was naturally covered with the same quilt as Gu Chaoxi. Next to him were Qin Wei and Shen Yao, followed by Shen Lan and Zhou Youyou, Qi Chuzhao and Zhou Ze.
There were still some cushions left in the hall for the monks in the temple, and at this time they were kneeling on the cushion in the front.
For a while, the monks knelt on the ground, chanting Buddhist scriptures silently.
The person who is now acting as the host is considered the eldest brother of these people.
Seeing that they had all gone to bed, I couldn't help but remind them.
"If anything goes wrong later, I will wake up all the donors immediately."
"Okay, thank you for troubling me, little master." Pei Yan smiled softly, turned his head to look at Gu Chaoxi, and grabbed Gu Chaoxi's hand under the quilt.
Only after holding her hand did Pei Yan feel a little more at ease.
Now it seems like a completely unprepared battle. It seems prepared, but it is not.
Because you don’t know who you are going to fight, or how the fight will be fought.
We can only wait and see how things develop.
As Pei Yan thought about this, his head became heavier and heavier, and it seemed that he couldn't open his eyelids at all.
He tried for a while, but the overwhelming sleepiness completely swept away his consciousness.
But in a moment, Pei Yan closed his eyes and fell asleep.
However, no one slept for long as they were woken up by screams.
The moment Gu Chaoxi sat up, he was almost nailed to the spot and was forced to watch the scene in front of him.
Outside the open door of the main hall, moonlight shone on the steps.
A huge black shadow seemed to have evolved into a physical entity, with a long black tentacle extending from it.
The tentacle rolled up a refugee who was resting on the steps of the side hall, and hung him in the air.
There seemed to be two eyes in the dark shadow, staring closely at the struggling prey in front of it.
The man screamed in pain, but no one helped him, and he was completely wrapped up in the tentacles.
Gu Chaoxi frowned. She couldn’t tell whether she was frightened by the scene when she opened her eyes just now, or because the low air pressure in this illusion made her feel uncomfortable.
In short, when the refugee was thrown into the body by the black shadow, Gu Chaoxi was still sitting there without moving.
The direction they were lying now was with their heads facing the Buddha statue and their feet facing outwards.
That's why she saw the scene outside as soon as she sat up.
Only when the man was completely swallowed by the black shadow and only the black shadow was left covering the door in front of him, Gu Chaoxi was finally able to move.
Pei Yan leaned towards her and whispered, "Are you okay just now?"
It was like a mental attack that made people completely unable to move, even Pei Yan was like this just now.
She lowered her head in response, moved her fingers, slowly raised her arm and twisted it.
The monks kneeling on the cushions behind him were chanting scriptures louder and louder, as if this was the only way to drive away the monster in front of the main hall.
One of the young monks couldn't help it and turned his head quietly.
The huge black shadow outside the door stretched out two particularly long black tentacles from the side, waving them in the air, as if it was about to hit the main hall.
The little monk was startled and turned back instantly, but the sound of his chanting scriptures became louder and louder.
Gu Chaoxi turned over and knelt on the ground, facing Pei Yan.
"Is there anything handy? We must solve this problem."
It was impossible to let it grow up outside like this unscrupulously, not to mention that there were many refugees sleeping in the yard.
If this black shadow wants to go backwards, who knows how many people will die.
Pei Yan got up from the cushion, stretched his muscles in the open space nearby, looked around the main hall, and his eyes fell on the Buddha statue.
"We really can't find anything."
Not to mention that when they first surveyed the temple, it looked like a very normal temple, and they didn't find any tools that could be used during their inspection.
If there is anything useful in this plane, it's probably the poison in the hands of the two murderers and the knife that killed them.
They have not forgotten the knife wounds on Master Qin's body when he died.
It's not an easy task to hit such a thing with bare hands.
Gu Chaoxi's gaze swept across several Buddha statues, and finally fell down.
There was nothing here, she knew that already.
"How to do it."
While they were still thinking, they saw the leading monk suddenly turned around and bowed to them.
"Donor, you can take this and use it."
He took out a peach wood sword from somewhere, and held a string of Buddhist beads that looked like Bodhi seeds.
Oddly enough, the peach wood sword was emitting a golden light, and some runes slowly appeared on it.
Pei Yan looked puzzled, but did not reach out to take it immediately.
The monk probably knew why, and explained: "This was left by the abbot before he left, so we must not use it unless it is absolutely necessary."
"But now it seems that we are afraid that we can no longer protect the Ancient An Ning Temple."
The monk said this and sighed.
