We arrived at a village and saw an old lady that's praying.... actually no. She isn't praying. Or maybe she is. She is saying something about a statue taking away people's spirits...maybe I heard wrong. How does a statue take away spirits?
"Hello, we need a place to stay." Wei Wuxian said.
The old lady did not react as if she didn't hear
"Sleep, we need a place to sleep," Wei Wuxian said again
The old lady still did not react
"Old grandma, we arrived here and need a place to sleep, sleep, do you know what that is?" Wei Wuxian said, pretending to sleep.
The old lady stood up, and lead us into a temple. With a statue. Another person came out from behind the statue. Wei Wuxian asked him about what the old lady meant by statues taking away people's spirits, but the man only said
"Stay here for the night, maybe you'll understand everything."
The old lady came back with a pile of wood.
"It's cold at night, light a fire." She said.
Wei Wuxian kept on making up ghost stories to scare Nie Huaisang, and I and Lan Wangji started lighting the fire.
Night came fast, and we were talking about the statue when a chain fell. We all looked towards the statue, where the sound came from. Suddenly, the statue began to move. I let Nie Huaisang hide behind me for that I knew he would be scared.
As Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian started attacking it, I lead Nie Huaisang behind a rock and stood in front of him. Nie Huaisang did what he was told, which was to stay behind the rock and stay calm. At least try to stay calm.
Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian finally sealed the statue, but something still wasn't right. I was going to warn them, but I think they felt it too. Something was wrong.
"Raaaagh raaaaaagh"
We all knew it. There are corpses ready to attack, about to arrive at the temple. Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian quickly went to the door. Nie Huaisang went with them. Lan Wangji told me to go behind the statue, in case they needed help. I went, only to see someone I least expected.
3rd POV
Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian exchanged glances, and both flew away from the door at the same time. They left Nie Huaisang clueless and shocked, trying to catch up with them.
Wei Wuxian used a talisman to create a net to stop the corpses from attacking them as they pouring into the temple, scratching and pounding on the net. The net eventually broke, and they started attacking. Suddenly, there was the sound of a flute, and the corpses all left, going in the direction of the flute, which was blown by Wen Liqing. Wen Liqing lit a fire to freeze the corpses to take up time, never hurting them because they came from her village. This village is her home.
Back at the temple, everyone was about to leave when...
"Stop!"
We all stopped in our tracks. Nie Huaisang started praying.
"Wei Wuxian! Do you realize your mistake, leaving your Shijie and everyone worried to death about you?"
That's it! The next chapter comes out next Wednsday~Friday. Please forgive me! I know this chapter came out early, but I feel like I owe you this. HAVE A GREAT SUMMER!:)
