Chapter 108 God of Land

Ji Taiyu shuddered and looked down at his forearms. The hairs on them stood up and his whole body was covered with goose bumps.

He swallowed, mustered up his courage and walked forward. Two footsteps appeared on the path together, click, click.

Walking slowly to the land temple, the smell of incense wafted into my nose. The land temple in the countryside naturally did not have as good conditions as the Sanxian Temple in the Izumo Mountain Tourist Scenic Area. There was no copper incense burner, only a double-hole cement brick placed upright on the ground. The two brick holes were filled with incense ash. Several incense candles were inserted in the incense ash, emitting a faint blue glow.

Ji Taiyu slowly walked forward. The land temple was also made of the same cement bricks and covered with glazed tiles. Taoist temples in Yunzhou all like to use glazed tiles. The whole small temple is only about 1 meter high, and there is a clay statue sitting cross-legged inside.

There were several leftover cement bricks piled up on the left side of the land temple. Ji Taixuan shone the flashlight over there and found a plastic bag that seemed to contain something in the hole of the brick.

The plastic bag is black.

Ji Taixuan's heart skipped a beat. He clearly remembered what the letter said:

[On the way into the village, you will come across a land temple. Remember to burn three incense sticks to the land. The incense can be found in a red plastic bag under the bricks next to the small temple. Remember it is a red plastic bag. If you see any other color plastic bag, give up burning incense and leave immediately.]

"We must leave immediately!" Thunder exploded in Ji Taiyu's heart, and then a crisp voice came from the land temple:
click-

It was the sound of porcelain cracking.

Ji Taiyu turned his head stiffly, only to see some fruits scattered on the altar in the land temple. The cold moonlight slanted into the temple, illuminating a pale clay face.

The face of the land god is round, his facial features are soft, his forehead is full, and his earlobes are thick. He is a very typical image of a folk god of incense. However, on this face that can be called "kind", there is blood flowing.

The horrifying scene made Ji Taiyu's body stiffen, his legs went weak, and he was unable to take a single step.

There was a rusty nail inserted in each of the land god's eye sockets, his upper and lower lips were sewn shut with thick black silk thread, his nose was cut off with a knife, and his ears were filled with mud. Blood flowed from his seven orifices, dyeing the pale face of the clay statue seductively and strangely.

Looking down, the land god's hands were also handcuffed, his legs were sitting cross-legged and one of his left feet was smashed, while his right foot, which was still intact, was also crushed by a heavy cement brick.

The crisp 'crack' sound just now was the sound of the cement brick cracking in the middle.

Extreme fear pushed Ji Taiyu's psychological defenses to the limit. His lips opened and trembled silently.

Under Ji Taiyu's stunned gaze, the land god's bright red lips, which were sewn shut with needle and thread, silently opened upwards and he began to laugh.

"Ghost!!!!" With a heart-wrenching scream, he finally collapsed. Ji Taixuan climbed up from the ground using his hands and feet, and ran forward desperately, not daring to stop for a moment.

It is hard to imagine that the exhausted body of an internet-addicted teenager who stays up late all day playing games can burst out at such a speed. Ji Taiyu ran down the road and disappeared, leaving the land temple with incense burning in the air far behind.

Also left behind was Feng Yusu who was following behind him.

Having been idle at home all day, she had poor athletic ability and was powerless to catch up with Ji Taiyu. Fortunately, the moon had come out and the shadow of the boy running was reflected in the moonlight, so she did not lose him.

Feng Yushu cautiously turned her head slightly and looked towards the land temple where the crackling sound had just been made. She didn't know what Ji Taiyu had seen just now that had frightened him so much that he ran away for his life. She soon found out.

A pale head with blood gushing out of all its orifices poked out slightly from the temple door. Blood was dripping from its two eye sockets that were blinded by nails, and its lips, which were sewn shut with thick black thread, were slightly open, as if smiling.

"......!" Feng Yusu was startled and subconsciously took a step back to keep some distance, but she quickly calmed down.

Feng Yusu looked up at the bright white moon hanging high in the night sky, and silently moved two steps to the side in the direction of the moonlight. Her heart was pounding in her chest. Under her nervous gaze, the 'Land God' crawled out of the temple.

A pale head with blood gushing from all seven orifices and porcelain-like skin painted with bright pottery colors crawled out of the temple. The land god wore a bright red official hat with two wings on his head. He stretched his neck and stuck his head out of the temple door. It seemed that he used his hands and feet to crawl out in a beast-like posture.

But after the neck stretched out, what next emerged from the temple door was not the shoulder of the land god covered in a bright red official robe, but a bloody cervical vertebra.

"Ah..." Feng Yusu covered her mouth with her hands unconsciously.

Below the pale head of the land god was a bloody cervical vertebra, which looked like a shower head hanging on the wall in a bathroom, or like a snake with a human head crawling around.

Behind the cervical vertebrae are the ribs. Humans have 12 complete pairs of ribs connected on both sides of the spine, spreading outward like the eight legs of a spider. Below the ribs, a bloody coccyx drags on the gravel road, crawling in a curved shape, making a chirping sound.

Kala——Kala——

A complete set of human ribs supported a dead head with blood gushing from all seven orifices. The land god crawled out of the temple. His long and deformed body cast a strange snake-like shadow in the moonlight.

Feng Yusu clenched her hands nervously and stared at the ground beneath her feet.

It was already very close. As long as the land god crawled a little closer, she could trigger the rules of Terang and try to "kill" this unknown ghost. Terang's instant death rules were extreme and threatening enough, but the direct collision between the rules must and could only be the last resort. It was irrational to act rashly without information.

This was what Ning Zhe taught her before they set out, and Feng Yusu remembered every word he said.

The land god's winding snake body crawled over the cement bricks covered with incense ash, and his eyes, which were dried up with blood, quickly swept over Feng Yusu without stopping.

He turned around, crawled into the rice field by the roadside, and disappeared without a trace.

"That's great..." Feng Yusu patted his chest and breathed a long sigh of relief.

I don’t know what the rules are regarding this ‘Land God’, but it is obvious that she did not trigger that rule. The Land God ignored her and left.

After calming down a little, Feng Yusu came to the land temple, bravely squatted down slightly, and looked inside the temple gate.

Sitting in the small land temple was a headless corpse wearing a bright red official robe. There was a big black hole on the neck and the shriveled chest was sunken inward, as if only a hollowed-out body was left.
