Chapter 185
This is a town located on the edge of the desert. It looks a bit remote and desolate. The population is not very large. It only looks like a thousand or so.
The name of this town is Gucang Town, but it actually consists of two villages.
The two villages are called Dagu Village and Xiaogu Village respectively. It is strange that the population of the two villages is very different.
Although the big ancient village occupies a large character, the total population does not exceed 300 people, while the small ancient village has almost 700 people.
In addition, what is also a little strange is that the gap between the rich and the poor in these two villages is even more obvious, and the small ancient village looks relatively normal, because the geographical location here is too remote, and it is common for every household to be relatively poor.
Only Dagu Village, which is less populated, is like those villages located in developed areas or tourist areas. Every household has villas. It doesn't look like a village, but like a group of villas.
Yue Liuyin and the others came to this place by car after getting off the plane, and they stayed at a B&B in the town.
The owner of this homestay is a widow who has lost her husband and raised her son alone, but she is quite talkative. Most of the information Yue Liuyin and the others inquired came from the proprietress.
There are more than 20 people in Yueliuyin's group, apart from the four Taoist families, there is also an archaeologist specially sent by the above, called Professor Chen, and three disciples of Professor Chen, and It was the three soldiers sent by the top to follow and protect Professor Chen.
At the same time, these three soldiers are also Xie Ze's people, each with their own abilities, but the only thing they have in common is that their force value is very high.
One of them looked very young, in his early twenties, a boy with a baby face called Xiaofeng, who was best at inquiring about news.
No matter how strict the mouth is, Xiaofeng can dig out the most important news from his mouth.
As soon as he moved into the B&B, Xiaofeng found the proprietress by a name.
"Miss Boss, it's too cold here. I can't sleep at night because of the cold. If you can, please give me another quilt." Xiaofeng raised a pitiful baby face.
The proprietress is in her 40s, and her only son is sixteen or seventeen. Now at school, although Xiaofeng is a boy in his early twenties, with his naturally tender baby face, he really looks like the proprietress. The son is about the same age.
Looking at his baby face, the proprietress couldn't help thinking of her son, and said with a loving smile, "Okay, I'll send you another quilt later."
"Thank you Madam Boss, Madam Boss is kind, she is just like my sister." Xiaofeng opened his mouth as if it was covered with honey.
No matter how old a woman is, she can't stand this kind of sweet talk and praise for her beauty, and most women can't resist being young.
The proprietress seemed to have a smile on her weather-beaten face, and under Xiaofeng's guidance, she couldn't help talking more and more.
At this time, Xiaofeng gradually turned the topic to Dagu Village: "Miss Boss, I think your town is quite remote. There are only two villages. Mistress, are you from Dagu Village or Xiaogu Village?"
"Of course I am from Xiaogu Village. Everyone in the town is from Xiaogu Village, not to mention those from Dagu Village." The proprietress frowned visibly when she said the last sentence, as if she had said it What topics do not want to mention.
Xiaofeng's eyes flickered slightly: "Miss Boss, is there any conflict between your Xiaogu Village and Dagu Village? Why do I hear that Madam Boss seems to hate people in Dagu Village?"
"Who hates those people? They are all rich people. We dare not say anything to offend them." The proprietress curled her lips.
"I think there seems to be quite a lot of money in Dagu Village, and every family has built villas."
Xiaofeng's words seemed to touch a nerve of the proprietress, and the proprietress blurted out angrily: "That's because those people are greedy for black-hearted money."
"Black-hearted money, what kind of black-hearted money?" Xiaofeng asked.
But this time, the proprietress's mouth seemed to be covered with 520 glue, and she kept her mouth shut tightly, unwilling to say anything more.
In order not to arouse the suspicion of the proprietress, Xiaofeng took the quilt from the proprietress and went upstairs.
After going upstairs, Xiaofeng told Xie Ze all this.
The population gap between the two villages of Dagu Village and Xiaogu Village, as well as the gap between the rich and the poor, is indeed too obvious.
And according to what the proprietress said, the people in the town are all from Xiaogu Village, and they haven't seen anyone from Dagu Village during their journey. Could it be that people from Dagu Village don't come out?
Not to mention the three words black-hearted money blurted out by the proprietress behind, what is black-hearted money?
It seems that there are still many secrets in this ancient village.
The most important thing is that the Dagu Village is the only way for Yueliuyin and his group to cross the desert and reach the ancient underground city.
Since there is no more news from the proprietress, it is better to go to Dagu Village to ask.
Yueliuyin, Xie Ze, and Xiaofeng, the three of them walked about two or three miles before it was dark, and saw Dagu Village.
There is a big tree outside the village of Dagu Village, the leaves are very lush, but the strangest thing is that the leaves are a little reddish, not as green as ordinary trees, and this big tree is just an ordinary tree, also Not a mutated breed.
However, this big tree with reddish leaves didn't attract Yueliuyin's attention too much. What Yueliuyin and the others noticed was a child playing under the big tree.
This child looked to be about five or six years old, his face was a little pale, and he felt like he had just recovered from a serious illness.
Children's words are often the easiest to trick out, Xiaofeng took out a sharp weapon against children, a lollipop, and walked towards the child.
"Little friend, why are you playing here alone, where are your little friends?"
The child glanced at Xiaofeng in a daze, then lowered his head again, playing with a bamboo dragonfly in his hand, "I don't have any friends."
Xiaofeng thought that the child was lonely, so he didn't have any other friends to play with him, so he handed over the lollipop in his hand: "Then kid, how about we play together?"
The child didn't pick up the lollipop: "My brother said, you can't play with people outside the village."
Xiaofeng was taken aback, presumably the child's elder brother was worried about the child's safety, so he would not let him play with outsiders.
Xiaofeng put the lollipop in the child's hand: "Big brother is not a bad person, your brother just doesn't let the kids play with those bad guys outside, play games with big brother, your brother won't object."
The child's gaze was fixed on the lollipop, and after a while, he shook his head: "No, my brother said that no matter who the people in our village are, they are not allowed to contact outsiders. Big brother, please go, if other people in the village If people see it, they will drive you away."
This time the child's words were a bit unexpected, Yue Liuyin and Xie Ze, who were not far away from them, listened and walked a few steps towards the child.
Yue Liuyin squatted down, looked at the child, and said with a smile: "Kids, do you know why your brother said that you can't contact outsiders?"
"I don't know." The child shook his head again.
At this moment, a middle-aged man ran over quickly, hugged the child, and looked at Yue Liuyin and the three of them warily: "You are foreigners, what do you want to do here?"
The face of this middle-aged man looked very pale, and he even felt as if he was dying of a serious illness.
Xiaofeng smiled and waved his hands kindly: "Brother, don't get me wrong, we are here to travel in the desert, and we have no malice towards the children."
"Huh!" The middle-aged man snorted coldly, and looked at the three of them mockingly: "You foreigners who come to this ghostly place to travel are more concerned than anything else. You say you are here to travel, but you actually want to go that place."
When the four words of that place were mentioned, the eyes of the middle-aged man were a little complicated.
Yue Liuyin kept looking at him, and quickly noticed the anger and fear in the middle-aged man's eyes. The anger might be directed at them, but what was the reason for the fear?
Xiaofeng continued: "Brother, what are you talking about? We are here to travel. Seeing that your village is developing so well, I just want to spend a night in your village."
The middle-aged man's face suddenly turned cold: "If you still want to die, you can go as far as you can from here. As for the place you want to go, if you go, you will die."
After finishing the last sentence, the middle-aged man held the child in his arms, glared at them a few times, and walked quickly into the village.
Xie looked at the man's back and asked, "Does the place the middle-aged man mentioned refer to the ancient underground city? This ancient village does not allow outsiders to enter, and it is extremely rich. It is really weird everywhere."
"I don't know if you noticed the faces of that middle-aged man and that child?" Yue Liuyin frowned slightly and said again: "The child looks like he just recovered from a serious illness, and his face is not as lively and rosy as other children, but it is reasonable But that middle-aged man also looks like he is in his prime, but his face is pale and blue, and his body is more thin, but it is not justified."
"Could it be that their village has an infectious disease?" Xiaofeng guessed, "Didn't the kid say that before? Their village does not allow outsiders to intervene, nor does it allow people in their village to have contact with outsiders. Perhaps it is because of cause of infectious disease."
"It's okay if that's the case." Xie Ze's face was a little dignified.
Yue Liuyin continued: "I felt a breath from the two of them, not a good breath, mixed with resentment and anger, and this breath was faintly devouring the vitality of the two of them."
"I remember that when the middle-aged man mentioned that place before, his eyes revealed anger and fear." What Yue Liuyin noticed, Xie Ze also noticed, and Xie Ze looked at Yue Liuyin, saying: Ah Yin, does the aura you mentioned have something to do with the ancient underground city? "
"Perhaps." Yue Liuyin looked away from this ancient village, which is full of weirdness everywhere, "I don't know if it is a village that has to be entered under any circumstances. Xie Ze, are you interested? Let's take an adventure tonight."
Xie Ze held Yue Liuyin's hand and nodded with a smile.
Xiaofeng silently shrinks his sense of existence, don't you know?Showing affection is the greatest harm to single dogs.
As night falls, Dagu Village is located near the desert, and the temperature difference between day and night changes very sharply.
Fortunately, both Yue Liuyin and Xie Ze had spiritual body protection, otherwise they would have been frozen into dogs.
The two sneaked into Dagu Village under the cover of night, because both of them had invisibility talismans on their bodies, so even if they passed by the villagers of Dagu Village, those people would not be able to feel their presence.
Walking into Dagu Village, the weirdness of Dagu Village becomes more and more obvious.
First of all, the strange and pale faces of these villagers. If one person is like this, it can also be explained by illness. If two, three or even a large group of people are like this, the whole village is like this, which is somewhat unreasonable.
Secondly, there are very few women and children in this village, especially children. Except for the child I saw during the day, Yue Liuyin and Xie Ze came in. After walking such a long distance, they didn’t see another child. The appearance of the child.
This last point is the night of Dagu Village.
During the daytime, Yueliuyin and the others couldn't hear any movement in the village at the entrance of the village. If it wasn't for the presence of the child and the middle-aged man, they even doubted whether there was anyone in Dagu Village.
But at night, Dagu Village suddenly became lively, the lights were brightly lit like daytime, and there was a market in the middle of the village, which looked like a very lively night party.
Except for these three weird things, Yue Liuyin and the others didn't find anything else wrong.
Every village will have a village head, who is in charge of everything in the village, and is relatively highly respected.
Why this big ancient village has become like this, maybe only by finding the village head of the big ancient village, can we figure it out.
The village chief's house is relatively easy to find. Among the villas in Dagu Village, the most luxurious one is the village chief's house.
Yue Liuyin and Xie Ze entered the village chief's house quietly, and heard a little movement after a while.
It was the conversation of two people, one of whom was the middle-aged man they had met during the day.
"Village chief, does Xiaomu have to go this time? He is only five years old. You are also his uncle, village chief. How can you just watch him being burned to death at such a young age?" Middle-aged The man's voice was a little regretful and feeble.
Through the window, Yue Liuyin and Xie Ze saw an old man with his back sitting opposite the middle-aged man.
The old man's face was already covered with age spots, and his eyes were cloudy, like a piece of rotten wood that might turn into dust at any time.
"Xiaomu is the only one left. Who else could go if he didn't go?" The village chief's voice was filled with resignation.
"Then this time the sacrifice is over, who should go next time? It has been nearly five years in our village, and no other children have been born. Village head, God will not forgive us. We are the offspring of sinners. God wants to Our entire village is extinct." The middle-aged man suppressed and shouted.
The village chief's body became more and more rickety: "Damu, I know you don't want to part with Xiaomu. I am the uncle of both of you. Watching you two grow up, I also don't want to part with Xiaomu. But this time Xiaomu won't go, just in case God gets angry. Our village is really hopeless."
As soon as the village chief finished speaking, Damu covered his face decadently, unable to say another word.
Upon hearing this, Yue Liuyin and Xie chose to leave at the same time.
"There is indeed a problem with this big ancient village. What time is it now? They are still doing human sacrifices. No wonder we walked in and didn't see any other children." Xie Ze said coldly.
"Gods want to eat people, so how can they be called gods?" Yue Liuyin sneered, laughing at the absurdity of the villagers in Dagu Village, and even laughing at the thing that is called a god but doesn't know what kind of demons and ghosts it is, " I figured it out, what is the reason for the resentment carried by these people? How could it be possible for those who died to have no resentment when the relatives around them were used as living sacrifices?"
"Ayin, I have a feeling that the god that the village chief and Damu mentioned exists." Xie Ze said suddenly, frowning.
Yue Liuyin looked at him in surprise: "Xie Ze, why do you feel this way?"
"I don't know why?" Xie Ze was a little dazed and confused, "This feeling in my heart is very real."
Yue Liuyin thought for a while, and took out a piece of talisman from the mustard space. The talisman was divided into four, and struck towards the four directions of Dagu Village.
But when the talisman was floating in the air, it suddenly seemed to hit some force, and it was instantly torn to pieces.
Yue Liuyin held her chest and took a step back.
Xie Ze quickly supported her: "A Yin."
"I'm fine." Yue Liuyin shook her head, put her hands down, her brows and eyes were a little cold, "Your feeling is correct, there are indeed traces of God's existence in this ancient village, and the whole village is covered with a layer of enchantment, I think Those people in Dagu Village do not allow outsiders to come in, nor do they allow people in the village to contact outsiders, there is a high possibility that they will not be able to get out of this village at all."
Xie Ze and Yue Liuyin left Dagu Village and returned to the homestay.
After returning, they still had a lot of doubts in their hearts, so they went to Dagu Village. They didn't understand the weird places in Dagu Village, but they added more secrets.
This is the xenophobic mentality of the villagers in Dagu Village. It may be difficult to find out what happened in Dagu Village from their mouths.
Early the next morning, Xie Ze went out alone.
Yue Liuyin collided with that force last night and suffered a little internal injury.
The two of them had discussed it last night. Since the villagers in Dagu Village didn't want to talk about it, they should ask the people from Xiaogu Village. The distance between the two villages is so close. People in Xiaogu Village don't believe what happened in Dagu Village. Not at all.
Xiaofeng also stayed in the homestay, still looking for opportunities to talk to the proprietress.
After Xie Ze came out, he walked around the town, and the only people who came and went in Gucang Town were only people from Xiaogu Village.
Those people in Dagu Village are like vampires in western myths and novels, curled up during the day, come out at night, and do not contact outsiders, weird and treacherous.
Gucang Town is not big, so after a short walk, Xie Ze almost finished the whole town.
When Xie Ze was preparing to go to Dagu Village to explore again, he happened to see an old woman in front of him, and accidentally fell down.
The pancakes in the basket in the old woman's hand fell to the ground. The alley they were in was relatively remote, and there were only the old woman and Xie Ze at the end of the alley.
Xie ran towards the old woman, helped the old woman up very lightly, and picked up the pancakes that fell on the ground back into the old woman's basket.
"Young man, you are a foreigner." The old lady was helped by Xie Ze to sit down on a big rock beside her. The old lady looked at Xie Ze and said decisively.
It is not difficult to see that Gucang Town is located on the edge of the desert, the wind and sand are very strong, and the faces of the people passing by are also particularly vicissitudes. It is difficult to find a handsome guy like Xie Ze who is fair and handsome.
Xie nodded, and used the excuse Xiaofeng said before: "I am indeed a foreigner, and I came here with a group of friends to travel, and we plan to go exploring in the desert."
The old lady smiled kindly, and the meaning in the smile was a little unpredictable: "If you are going to explore, you must pass through Dagu Village. The village pauses."
Xie Ze was stunned, pretending not to know anything, and asked curiously: "Grandma, why is Dagu Village not peaceful? I think they have fewer people and are quieter."
The old woman sighed suddenly: "Those are cursed people, they are greedy for black money, and they are destined not to live past the age of 40."
Xie was a little surprised: "Curse? Who cursed them?"
"No one can undo the curse of the gods, so Dagu Village is an ominous place. People in Xiaogu Village are unwilling to contact them, and they never come out, and they don't allow outsiders to enter."
It's a god again. Those people in Dagu Village use human sacrifices, and the objects of sacrifice are also gods.
Later, Xie still had a lot of questions, but the old lady shook her head and didn't say any more. She walked to the end of the alley with a basket on her arm.
Xie got the key point of the curse, and didn't ask any more questions outside, and returned to the hotel again.
After returning to the homestay, it happened that they were all sitting in the same room.
The people in the room had some disagreements, and Feng Zhenkai, the young master of the Feng family, who is also Feng Xiange's half-brother, suggested leaving quickly, and didn't want to delay like this any longer.
The more cautious people, such as Professor Chen and others, were worried about the very harsh climate in the desert. Don't find the ancient underground city, and all of them were buried in the desert.
Professor Chen and the others are ordinary people, unlike Feng Zhenkai and the others who have spiritual body protection, naturally they should be more cautious.
When Xie Ze came in, the two parties were a little unhappy.
Yue Liuyin sat in the room, a position by the window, lazily leaning on the chair, lying on the cat in the winter sun basking in the sun.
Xie Ze smiled and went to sit beside Yue Liuyin.
Not long after sitting down, Feng Zhenkai looked at them with a provocative face: "Mr. Xie is finally back, you are the leader of our team, you have been missing all day long, so you have to talk about what you are doing Bar."
The relationship between Xie Ze and Yueliuyin was understood by everyone present. Feng Zhenkai was a little afraid of Yueliuyin's identity as the ancestor of the Taoist sect, so he didn't dare to speak too harshly.
But Feng Zhenkai was a bit pretentious, he didn't want to obey orders and thank Ze Ze all the time, so his tone was unavoidably provocative.
Xie Ze gave Feng Zhenkai a cold look, there was no need to argue with these people, and he said, "I've been inquiring about Dagu Village for the past two days, we must pass through Dagu Village if we are going to the underground ancient city in the desert. road, but Dagu Village is a bit weird now..."
Xie Ze didn't hide his secrets, and told about the things about Dagu Village that he had inquired about in the past two days, especially the curse about God that he heard from the old woman outside just now.
After listening, Professor Chen pushed his glasses and took out a notebook: "In the notebook left by Lao Xue, he also mentioned the curse of this ancient village."
The old Xue mentioned by Professor Chen is the Taishan Beidou of the archaeological world who passed away before.
The two of them belonged to the same generation, had the same passion for archeology, and were friends with the same interest. Professor Xue's death made Professor Chen very sad.
So when the higher authorities decided to send a third group of people to the ancient underground city in the desert, Professor Chen was the first to stand up regardless of the danger.
"What did Professor Xue say in his notebook?" Xie Ze asked.
Professor Chen is getting old, and he is afraid that some places cannot be remembered clearly. He opened his notebook and looked at it, then raised his head and said: "In Lao Xue's notebook, it is recorded that Dagu Village was originally a village with the same population and wealth gap as Xiaogu Village. 50 years ago, the ancestors of Dagu Village accidentally came to the ancient underground city, and took out a large amount of gold from the ancient underground city, which is why Dagu Village is now rich."
"But after they took out the gold, it didn't take long for all the people in Dagu Village who were over 40 years old to die overnight, and the rest of the people who reached adulthood were also aging rapidly, and none of them survived. Those who are over 40 years old, their situation is cursed by the god in the ancient underground city. The god hates them for stealing gold and wants them to pay with their lives."
Xie Ze and Yue Liuyin looked at each other, combined with what the old woman said, 50 years ago, black-hearted money and curses all matched. Could it be that the fact that Dagu Village has become like this today is because of the greed of their ancestors? ?
Yue Liuyin frowned slightly, always felt that there was something wrong with it, the gods did not say how tolerant, but they are high above, possessing endless magic power, they can push mountains and fill seas with a single gesture, the wealth and splendor of the world, yes For them, it is just a moment in the ocean, will the people of a village be driven to the point of extinction because of mere gold?
Whether there will be a deeper reason for this, they don't know for the time being.
But now there is really no time to delay, no matter what the situation in Dagu Village is, they always want to take a look.
However, at this time, when Yueliuyin and the others didn't know about it, something unexpected happened in Dagu Village.
For nearly five years, no new life has been born, and after a short sacrifice, Dagu Village will face the end of not having a single child.
Without descendants, without life, Dagu Village will eventually perish.
At this time, the son of the village chief was about to marry a daughter-in-law, who was also the daughter of another family in Dagu Village.
The village head decided to make it lively, to see if he could make a splash so that after his daughter-in-law got married, he could quickly give birth to a grandson, breaking the impasse of not having a single baby born in the past five years.
The wedding banquet in the village started quickly. The village chief's son was only 16 years old, not yet an adult, and the bride was about the same age as him, but the young couple was about to form a new family under the witness of their parents.
The wedding banquet was held lively, and the faces of the villagers had a rare touch of joy, and they cheerfully sent the couple into the bridal chamber.
The night has just arrived, and the villagers of Dagu Village are very energetic at this time.
At this moment, the very spirited villagers heard a scream.
And the source of this scream is the new house of the newcomers.
The rickety village chief walked towards the new house with the support of two relatively muscular middle-aged men beside him.
As soon as the door was opened, the village chief's cloudy old eyes widened instantly, and a line of tears flowed down his face.
He saw his only son lying in a pool of blood with unwilling eyes staring at him.
The son of the village head held a pair of scissors in his hand, and there was a person lying opposite him, a newly married bride, also holding scissors in his hand.
Two young men who hadn't yet grown up were lying in a pool of blood.
The wound on the couple's neck was a very hideous blood hole cut in their necks.
The murder weapon was the scissors held by the two young men, and the scissors were still dripping blood.
The scene in front of him was like these two young people killing each other.
But they just got married today, and tonight is their bridal chamber. They have so much resentment in their hearts that they choose to stab each other to death on the first night of their wedding.
But everyone in Dagu Village knows that this couple is childhood sweethearts who grew up together, their marriage was approved by them, and there is nothing dirty between them, even if they had quarreled, it was just an ordinary fight. noisy.
No matter what, it is impossible to put the other party to death, let alone the two people's wide-open eyes, which still have the fear of life.
What are they afraid of? It can't be their childhood sweetheart.
"Village chief, what's going on? Why did the two of them die suddenly?" A villager shouted in fear.
"Could it be because of the stranger who came yesterday?" The middle-aged man named Damu who had talked with Yueliuyin and the others before said.
"What outsider?" The village chief's muddy eyes burst out with a startling gleam.
Damu told what happened during the day yesterday.
"Did they enter the village?"
Hearing what the village chief said, Damu shook his head: "Xiaomu and I just saw them at the entrance of the village."
"It shouldn't be them." The village chief couldn't wait to find out who killed his son, but he also knew that it was impossible for a few foreigners to sneak into the new house and kill his son and wife without alarming all of them.
"Who would that be?"
Suddenly, a voice came from the crowd: "Could it be that the gods are angry?"
After this one's voice finished speaking, at the same time, the expressions on everyone's faces froze, and the same fear appeared in their eyes, as if the scene at this moment was frozen.
"Prepare the sacrifice in advance, we must extinguish the wrath of the gods." The village chief agreed with this idea.
In the past 50 years, there have been no other murders in this village of theirs. They all died of natural aging, and they also did not live to be 40 years old.
The people who came in went out again, and all the red colors on the wedding banquet were removed, and the bleak white was hung up.
Two newlyweds who died tragically on their wedding night were put into a coffin, and at the moment the coffin was closed, a similar distorted smile appeared on the faces of the two newlyweds, which made people shudder.
At the same time, a black shadow appeared in the mourning hall. Such a black shadow was like a pair of eyes, watching all the people in Dagu Village.
No one can escape, one by one slowly.
The mysterious curse of Dagu Village, all the weird and treacherous things are confusing.
Yue Liuyin and Xie Ze decided to visit Dagu Village again at night.
Taking advantage of the nightfall, the Dagu Village was more lively that night than in the past, and everyone held a torch.
Under the reflection of the fire, those people's faces became paler and more numb. If they hadn't breathed out from their noses and mouths, they might not be much different from the walking dead.
Among these people holding torches, four people carried a sedan chair, and inside the sedan chair sat a child dressed in red and green, and his face was even painted with red powder.
And this child is Xiao Mu, the somewhat withdrawn child they had met before.
Xiaomu is just a five-year-old child. Under such circumstances, under the background of everyone's torches, his small face is expressionless, but if you look carefully, there are still some eyes mixed with his big round eyes. fear.
Xiaomu is a child, but he is different from children in other places. He grew up in Dagu Village, which makes him more mature and understands many other things than children of the same age. For example, he clearly knows what he is about to face. But he has no right to refuse.
He was the only child in the whole village, and he was the only choice when the god wanted the flesh and blood of a young life as a sacrifice.
So when Xiaofeng asked him why he didn't play with other friends, Xiaomu would answer that there were no other partners.
When Xiaomu was younger, he actually had a partner who was one year older than him.
But in the same scene as today, Xiaomu watched helplessly as his little friend was burned to a bone in the scorching sun.
For the survival of all the people in the village, and to appease the anger of the gods, Xiaomu will do the same as his little friend.
The most respected village chief walked up to Xiaomu with a glass of water, his eyes were kind and sad, numb and desperate: "Xiaomu, listen to uncle and drink this glass of water obediently."
Xiaomu remembered that before his little friend was burned to death, he also drank the same glass of water, and he couldn't remember anything after drinking it.
This is the last mercy of the people in the village, letting them leave in a coma.
After drinking the water, Xiaomu fell asleep not long after.
The sleeping child was tied up by two adults on a stake piled high with firewood.
Among the people holding torches around the stake, a middle-aged man stepped out from the crowd, this one was Xiaomu's biological brother.
Damu also held a torch in his hand, and he was reluctant to part with his younger brother. If he could, he would wish to go for his younger brother. With such a rotten body, he will not be forgiven by the gods.
The big wooden torch lit the firewood, and the fire quickly blazed up.
Surrounded by the raging flames was Xiao Mu who was still asleep on the stake.
Those people standing around, some of them were his closest relatives, neighbors who watched him grow up, no matter how hard these people could bear it, they had to witness him being burned to the ground.
Just when the flames were about to reach Xiaomu's sleeve, suddenly, a gust of wind blew over.
The whistling gust of wind was mixed with fury, and instantly extinguished the raging flames.
After the flames burned out, two people appeared in the middle of the fire, Xie Ze hugged Xiao Mu who was still in a coma, and Yue Liuyin looked at the numb people coldly.
"A group of ignorant idiots, do you think your so-called human sacrifice can remove the curse on you? It's a joke."
"Why did you two outsiders interrupt our sacrifice? No matter what you know, put down Xiaomu and leave our village immediately." The village chief glared at them coldly with old eyes.
"It's ridiculous. It seems that all your ignorance comes from the pitiful and hateful hearts in your hearts. You are born as humans, but you are worse than animals." Yue Liuyin looked at the group of people coldly, raised his hands, and another gust of wind blew However, this time the torches held by these people were extinguished, "I would like to see what the god you are worshiping is."
Those people watched their bodies being fixed in place, and then automatically made a way out. The two outsiders hugged Xiaomu and walked into the temple they feared and revered.
There is a temple in Dagu Village, which was also established 50 years ago. People in Dagu Village wanted to be forgiven by the gods, so they built this temple. Every year, they choose a fresh life as a living person Sacrifice, offered in front of the temple to the gods they fear and awe.
Yue Liuyin kicked open the door of the temple. The temple was a bit grand, and there was only one statue in the temple.
And this idol is made of gold, and the idol made of gold has a majestic expression, like an image of glaring King Kong.
What's ridiculous is that from the moment Yueliuyin walked in, she felt that there was not even a trace of divine spirit on this statue.
What's more, there is a sense of resentment around this statue.
Xie put down Xiaomu he was holding, walked towards Yueliuyin, and also fell in love with the god statue on the high hall: "God didn't forgive them, nor accepted their offerings."
"I'm afraid those people don't know the truth. It's ridiculous and pitiful. They use relatives around them as living sacrifices, and watch their own flesh and blood being burned alive, but they don't know that all their efforts are wasted." Here, Yue Liuyin sneered, "No, it's not a complete waste of effort, at least they succeeded in using their stupidity to shorten their already fragile lives."
"Ayin, what did you see?" Xie Ze felt an ominous aura when he walked in, but he still didn't know the source of this aura.
Yue Liuyin sneered: "There is no god in this temple, even if there is, it is a god transformed from a wraith. During those 50 years when those people were cursed by the gods, those idiots chose human sacrifices in order to resolve the curse. Although the souls of those who were burned alive left this place, the grievances left by them before they died remained here."
"These grievances have been accumulated year after year, and they are constantly amplifying until now they have formed a spirit of resentment. If the two of us hadn't come today, that child would have been burned to death by them. I'm afraid there would be no need for God at all." Curse, these people will kill themselves under the wrath of the wraith."
Xie Ze's expression was indifferent. Those people outside were pitiful, but they also responded to the sentence. Poor people must have something to hate, and those people are not worthy of sympathy at all.
It's just that those people don't deserve sympathy, and this little life that was brought in by them, Xiaomu shouldn't die like this.
Even if his life was only 40 years short, or even less than that, it shouldn't be lost at the hands of those people for such absurd reasons.
"Come out." Yue Liuyin looked at one place coldly.
In that place, the air twisted for a moment, and quickly turned into a black shadow.
This black image is a cloud of black mist, and there is no concrete human figure cultivated in the black mist, only a pair of eyes that look a little eerie.
This thing is the spirit body transformed from resentment, and it is also the resentment and resentment of those who were sacrificed and burned alive before death.
Yue Liuyin looked at the mass with colder eyes, it seemed that they were still a step late, this wraith was already tainted with murder.
Two lives, not long ago.
The village head and the villagers of Dagu Village thought that the village head's son and daughter-in-law died tragically under the curse of the gods, but they didn't know that the death of the two people was because of their stupidity.
This vengeful spirit was cultivated by their own hands. Without their stupid human sacrifice, this vengeful spirit would not have appeared at all.
But now this wraith is constantly growing, and the blood shed by two fresh lives can no longer satisfy this wraith that is about to move. They should be glad that this time, Yue Liuyin and Xie Ze came.
"They're going to kill again, they deserve to die." A somewhat vague voice uttered from the black mist formed by the Wraith, mixed with a very deep resentment.
Some are like children, some are like women.
Yue Liuyin was unmoved by this: "Even if they deserve to die, they shouldn't die in your hands. It's just a group of resentful spirits who wantonly take other people's lives. Do you think you are the judge of the world?"
The actions of the villagers in Dagu Village are indeed worthy of death, but even if they deserve death, the people who come to take revenge should be the souls killed by them, not this group of spirits formed by relying on resentment.
"You want to save them, why do you want to save them? You are all murderers, you are all together, you all deserve to die." The black mist condensed by the resentful spirits continued to grow, covering the whole place in a blink of an eye. most of the temple.
And this cloud of black mist is still eager to try to stretch towards Yueliuyin and the others.
At this moment, Xie Ze stretched out his arms, and Yuan Yijian suddenly appeared in his hand. With a wave of the long sword, the sharp sword glow seemed to cut through the brilliance of the night, and immediately dissipated all the black shadows that were close to Yueliuyin. fog.
A scream came from the black mist, and the black mist that was still expanding suddenly shrank to the size of a basketball.
This wraith has not been formed for a long time, and he doesn't have much thinking, but he already knows what it means to bully the weak and fear the strong?
Whether it was Yueliuyin who hadn't done anything yet, or Xie Ze who was holding the Yuan Yi sword in his hand, neither of them could be provoked by such a small wraith.
As soon as the black mist moved, he quickly wanted to escape to the door.
Yue Liuyin smiled coldly, flicked her white fingers lightly, and the door of the temple that was originally kicked open by her kicked instantly closed.
Wraith has no specific form for the time being, and can pass through any place, so for the closed door, Wraith's footsteps still don't stop at all.
However, when it tried to pass through the door in vain, the Wraith was bounced onto the statue with a snap.
The black mist, which was originally the size of a basketball, shrank again, this time to the size of a pear.
If the black mist completely disappears, this newly formed spirit body will say goodbye to this world again.
Yue Liuyin grabbed her hand, and Wraith Ling grabbed her hand in an instant.
"Forgive me, forgive me." A poor child's voice came out of the pear-sized black mist.
Maybe this wraith still has a bit of thinking, at least it knows that a young woman who looks like Yue Liuyin's age always has a different kind of sympathy for poor children.
It's a pity that Yue Liuyin is not an ordinary young woman, even if she is, Yue Liuyin can't find the slightest sympathy for a group of resentful spirits.
Wraiths are born out of resentment. In the beginning, they could only absorb the resentment in the world to strengthen themselves. After cultivating into a spirit body, especially if their hands are infected with murder, human life can also become a sacrifice for them to strengthen themselves. .
The more human lives are in their hands, the more powerful the wraiths will be. When they are strong enough, they can even dilute all the filth in the world, especially the filthy emotions and desires on the other side of the human body.
It's like a false god that Yue Liuyin met before, a resentful spirit cultivated, if it wasn't for the unlucky thing that bumped into Yue Liuyin's hand, there would be nothing left of being bombarded by the Nine Heavens God, otherwise If you wait for it to continue to grow, you don't know how far it will grow.
"If you want to gain my sympathy, then you are looking for the wrong person."
The group of resentful spirits suddenly felt a breath of fear.
Yue Liuyin didn't show any pity at all, and squeezed hard.
After the screams, everything temporarily calmed down.
"There is no need for this place to exist anymore." Yue Liuyin took a last look at the statue that had no aura of God at all.
Xie Ze picked up Xiao Mu again, and stepped out of the temple with Yue Liuyin.
The moment he walked out, under the shocked gazes of the people outside, Xie Ze's Yuan Yi sword slashed across the fake temple.
With a bang, the temple that had stood for 50 years collapsed.
But at this moment, Yue Liuyin stopped her footsteps.
Because among the collapsed ruins, something appeared.
"What is that, it looks interesting." Yue Liuyin walked towards that thing.
Xie put Xiaomu down and followed.
The thing exposed in the ruins looks like a stone tablet.
It is a black stone tablet with many inscriptions engraved on it, and a town character is written on one side.
These inscriptions are all written in an ancient script. Coincidentally, Yueliuyin just knew each other. After reading it, Yueliuyin couldn't help laughing.
In the past, she said that the villagers of Dagu Village were a bunch of idiots, but now that they are idiots, she praised them.
"Ayin, there is something wrong with this stone tablet. There is a kind of power on it, which seems to be suppressing something." Xie Ze just walked into this stone tablet, and he felt a very uncomfortable force. They were all a little irritable and wanted to destroy this stele.
"Hehe!" Yue Liuyin sneered: "I don't know who set up a formation on this stone tablet, Xie Ze, do you know what this formation is used for?"
Xie shook his head, "I don't know, but the power from above makes me feel very uncomfortable."
Hearing this, Yue Liuyin's smile faded away, she held Xie Ze's hand, and pushed it over with a wave of spiritual power.
Under Yue Liuyin's spiritual power, the irritable feeling in Xie Ze's heart quickly disappeared.
Although this feeling disappeared, Xie Ze still held Yue Liuyin's hand tightly.
Yue Liuyin glanced at him with a smile, and then looked at the stone tablet: "These people who are worse than idiots are trying to use this stone tablet to suppress—God."
Xie was stunned for a moment, and didn't know whether those people were too confident or too stupid.
Mortals try to suppress gods, but they can't even find the breath of gods.
When Yue Liuyin and Xie Ze saw this temple for the first time, they really thought it was the people from Dagu Village who wanted to use the spirit of incense to make the god behind them remove the curse on them.
Looking at it now, this is just one of the goals of the people in Dagu Village. Their more important goal is to use this stone tablet buried under the temple to suppress the gods in the temple.
However, these stupid and poor people don't know that whether it's their human sacrifice or their stone tablet, it's just a waste of their efforts.
In this huge ancient village, apart from the presence of gods on the barrier above, which forbids them to leave, there is no trace of gods anywhere in the ancient village.
The villagers of Dagu Village were also fixed in place by Yueliuyin's immobilization talisman, whether it was Yueliuyin and Xie Ze who stepped into the temple, or Xie Ze destroyed the temple with a sword, revealing the hidden treasures buried below. These people can only look at the stone tablet, but can't do anything, and they can't even speak.
Until this time, Yue Liuyin became a little curious, how did such a group of ordinary people get this stele.
Although this stele is useless, the formation on the stele clearly exists.
With a wave of her hand, Yue Liuyin released the village chief's restraint, and asked, "Who made this stele?"
The village chief glared at Yue Liuyin angrily, but kept silent.
Yue Liuyin slightly curled her lips: "At this time, you have a bit of backbone. When you can use your relatives as living sacrifices, what kind of backbone do you have? While I still have some interest in the direction, tell me honestly. , otherwise the deity is not sure what he will do."
Yue Liuyin doesn't like to use power to overwhelm others, and often when she calls herself the deity, it means that Yue Liuyin doesn't want to be polite to you.
The village chief, whose bones were as decayed as dead wood, softened, and replied in a weak voice: "This stone tablet was erected by a wizard in our village. The wizard told me that as long as the stone tablet is still there, Dagu Village will not be extinct."
"Ridiculous." Yue Liuyin snorted coldly, "It's just a stone tablet with a little formation, and it's trying to suppress God."
After Yue Liuyin uttered the last sentence, the village chief's complexion changed visibly, and the deep age spots and wrinkles on that old face distorted.
"My lord, forgive me, it's not that we want to disrespect the gods, we just want to live."
The people in Dagu Village are hateful and pitiful. The reason why their pity is not worthy of sympathy is that they are so hateful.
Yue Liuyin didn't sympathize with them, her voice was still indifferent: "Why are you guys cursed by God?"
The village head froze for a moment, his eyes numb and vicissitudes turned to the pile of ruins of the temple, and he turned back after a while, sighing.
The story of Dagu Village originated 50 years ago.
Fifty years ago, a stranger came to the village, and the stranger brought a map.
It is said that this map is a treasure map. Under the guidance of the treasure map, there is an underground ancient city in the middle of the desert, and there is everything in the underground ancient city.
Gold is even more numerous.
Under the invitation of this stranger, the people in Dagu Village were very tempted.
At that time, young and middle-aged people from more than a dozen large ancient villages followed the outsider to find the underground ancient city buried in the desert along with the clues of the treasure map, in an attempt to obtain that treasure.
Half a year later, those young and middle-aged people who left Dagu Village came back, only half of them came back, and the outsider disappeared, and those who came back indeed brought back countless gold.
The gold made the people of Dagu Village overjoyed. They used the gold to live a prosperous life, and even built villas like those rich people. Dagu Village, which was originally poor and backward, became a group of villas.
The people in the small ancient village adjacent to them are very envious, but amidst the complacency of the people in the big ancient village and the envy of the people in the small ancient village, an accident happened.
In Dagu Village, everyone who was 40 years old and went up died overnight.
Adults are also aging rapidly.
Anyone who has reached the age of eighteen, they seem to have lost their youth, and can quickly become an old man who is six or seventy years old overnight.
Even if it's slow, a year will take them from a lively lad to a shambling old man.
Take today's village head as an example, the village head looks like an old man with one and a half feet who has already stepped into the grave, but in fact the village head is only in his 30s.
And Damu, the middle-aged man who reluctantly sacrificed his own younger brother, was actually a young man who had just turned [-].
At that time, there was a wizard in the village. The wizard told the people in the village that their ancient village was cursed by the gods.
There lived a god in the ancient underground city in the desert, the ancient underground city was built by the god, and the innumerable gold there was also the god's property.
The people in Dagu Village stole the gold from the gods, and the gods cast a curse under the curse of the gods. Under the curse of the gods, the people in Dagu Village could not live to be 40 years old, and they would lose their youth forever.
What's more, the people of Dagu Village also found that they couldn't go out of Dagu Village's boundaries. They were trapped in this place, and an invisible prison enveloped all of them.
Sorrow, pain and despair at that time were the truest portrayal of these people.
At that time, even if the people who stole the gold wanted to put the gold back, they had no choice because they couldn't get out.
The people in Dagu Village want to lift the curse, but they are a group of ordinary people, and they can only ask for help from the most mysterious wizard in the village.
This wizard is also a foreigner who settled in Dagu Village many years ago and possesses mysterious and unpredictable abilities.
The wizard told the people of Dagu Village to build a temple and let them bury a stone tablet with formations under the temple.
I tried to use this to try to resolve the curse of the gods, but it was still useless. At that time, the people in Dagu Village were forced to do nothing, or they thought of human sacrifice under the fear of death.
Women were the first to be sacrificed, because women have the weakest strength, and the idea that men are superior to women is still in this backward village.
But it was useless, women were treated as sacrificial offerings and could not be forgiven by the gods at all.
Moreover, the people of Dagu Village also hope to reproduce through women, and they cannot let women die.
Therefore, the people in Dagu Village set the sacrificial objects as old people who were on the verge of 40 years old, but it was still useless.
In the end, it was replaced by today's children. The people of Dagu Village foolishly imagined that they would be forgiven by the gods with the lives of fresh children.
But what they finally got was that five years ago, no other little life was born in the ancient village.
In a huge ancient village, there is only one child, Xiaomu.
Amid the sighs of the village chief, Yue Liuyin and Xie Ze learned about the reason of the curse.
One comes from the word greed, if there is no greed at the beginning, there will be nothing today.
Not to mention who the foreigner was 50 years ago and what purpose he had, he just rashly believed in a treasure map and a random sentence spoken by a stranger. People are indeed pitifully stupid.
It's just that a curse has been extended for 50 years. I don't know how many lives have been buried in it. I don't know when it will end. Maybe it will be the day when Dagu Village is really extinct.
The village chief looked at Yue Liuyin carefully. Before that, the village chief had discovered that Yue Liuyin and Xie Ze, two outsiders, had very different powers.
Could it be that they were the protagonists in the prophecy about Dagu Village's glimmer of hope left behind by the wizard when he was dying.
The village chief raised his cloudy eyes: "My lord, when the wizard died, he left behind a painting. There are two people in the picture, which are somewhat similar to your lord and your lover."
Hearing this, Yue Liuyin became a little curious. Could it be that the wizard really has the ability to prophesy, knowing that she and Xie will appear here after 50 years.
(End of this chapter)
This is a town located on the edge of the desert. It looks a bit remote and desolate. The population is not very large. It only looks like a thousand or so.
The name of this town is Gucang Town, but it actually consists of two villages.
The two villages are called Dagu Village and Xiaogu Village respectively. It is strange that the population of the two villages is very different.
Although the big ancient village occupies a large character, the total population does not exceed 300 people, while the small ancient village has almost 700 people.
In addition, what is also a little strange is that the gap between the rich and the poor in these two villages is even more obvious, and the small ancient village looks relatively normal, because the geographical location here is too remote, and it is common for every household to be relatively poor.
Only Dagu Village, which is less populated, is like those villages located in developed areas or tourist areas. Every household has villas. It doesn't look like a village, but like a group of villas.
Yue Liuyin and the others came to this place by car after getting off the plane, and they stayed at a B&B in the town.
The owner of this homestay is a widow who has lost her husband and raised her son alone, but she is quite talkative. Most of the information Yue Liuyin and the others inquired came from the proprietress.
There are more than 20 people in Yueliuyin's group, apart from the four Taoist families, there is also an archaeologist specially sent by the above, called Professor Chen, and three disciples of Professor Chen, and It was the three soldiers sent by the top to follow and protect Professor Chen.
At the same time, these three soldiers are also Xie Ze's people, each with their own abilities, but the only thing they have in common is that their force value is very high.
One of them looked very young, in his early twenties, a boy with a baby face called Xiaofeng, who was best at inquiring about news.
No matter how strict the mouth is, Xiaofeng can dig out the most important news from his mouth.
As soon as he moved into the B&B, Xiaofeng found the proprietress by a name.
"Miss Boss, it's too cold here. I can't sleep at night because of the cold. If you can, please give me another quilt." Xiaofeng raised a pitiful baby face.
The proprietress is in her 40s, and her only son is sixteen or seventeen. Now at school, although Xiaofeng is a boy in his early twenties, with his naturally tender baby face, he really looks like the proprietress. The son is about the same age.
Looking at his baby face, the proprietress couldn't help thinking of her son, and said with a loving smile, "Okay, I'll send you another quilt later."
"Thank you Madam Boss, Madam Boss is kind, she is just like my sister." Xiaofeng opened his mouth as if it was covered with honey.
No matter how old a woman is, she can't stand this kind of sweet talk and praise for her beauty, and most women can't resist being young.
The proprietress seemed to have a smile on her weather-beaten face, and under Xiaofeng's guidance, she couldn't help talking more and more.
At this time, Xiaofeng gradually turned the topic to Dagu Village: "Miss Boss, I think your town is quite remote. There are only two villages. Mistress, are you from Dagu Village or Xiaogu Village?"
"Of course I am from Xiaogu Village. Everyone in the town is from Xiaogu Village, not to mention those from Dagu Village." The proprietress frowned visibly when she said the last sentence, as if she had said it What topics do not want to mention.
Xiaofeng's eyes flickered slightly: "Miss Boss, is there any conflict between your Xiaogu Village and Dagu Village? Why do I hear that Madam Boss seems to hate people in Dagu Village?"
"Who hates those people? They are all rich people. We dare not say anything to offend them." The proprietress curled her lips.
"I think there seems to be quite a lot of money in Dagu Village, and every family has built villas."
Xiaofeng's words seemed to touch a nerve of the proprietress, and the proprietress blurted out angrily: "That's because those people are greedy for black-hearted money."
"Black-hearted money, what kind of black-hearted money?" Xiaofeng asked.
But this time, the proprietress's mouth seemed to be covered with 520 glue, and she kept her mouth shut tightly, unwilling to say anything more.
In order not to arouse the suspicion of the proprietress, Xiaofeng took the quilt from the proprietress and went upstairs.
After going upstairs, Xiaofeng told Xie Ze all this.
The population gap between the two villages of Dagu Village and Xiaogu Village, as well as the gap between the rich and the poor, is indeed too obvious.
And according to what the proprietress said, the people in the town are all from Xiaogu Village, and they haven't seen anyone from Dagu Village during their journey. Could it be that people from Dagu Village don't come out?
Not to mention the three words black-hearted money blurted out by the proprietress behind, what is black-hearted money?
It seems that there are still many secrets in this ancient village.
The most important thing is that the Dagu Village is the only way for Yueliuyin and his group to cross the desert and reach the ancient underground city.
Since there is no more news from the proprietress, it is better to go to Dagu Village to ask.
Yueliuyin, Xie Ze, and Xiaofeng, the three of them walked about two or three miles before it was dark, and saw Dagu Village.
There is a big tree outside the village of Dagu Village, the leaves are very lush, but the strangest thing is that the leaves are a little reddish, not as green as ordinary trees, and this big tree is just an ordinary tree, also Not a mutated breed.
However, this big tree with reddish leaves didn't attract Yueliuyin's attention too much. What Yueliuyin and the others noticed was a child playing under the big tree.
This child looked to be about five or six years old, his face was a little pale, and he felt like he had just recovered from a serious illness.
Children's words are often the easiest to trick out, Xiaofeng took out a sharp weapon against children, a lollipop, and walked towards the child.
"Little friend, why are you playing here alone, where are your little friends?"
The child glanced at Xiaofeng in a daze, then lowered his head again, playing with a bamboo dragonfly in his hand, "I don't have any friends."
Xiaofeng thought that the child was lonely, so he didn't have any other friends to play with him, so he handed over the lollipop in his hand: "Then kid, how about we play together?"
The child didn't pick up the lollipop: "My brother said, you can't play with people outside the village."
Xiaofeng was taken aback, presumably the child's elder brother was worried about the child's safety, so he would not let him play with outsiders.
Xiaofeng put the lollipop in the child's hand: "Big brother is not a bad person, your brother just doesn't let the kids play with those bad guys outside, play games with big brother, your brother won't object."
The child's gaze was fixed on the lollipop, and after a while, he shook his head: "No, my brother said that no matter who the people in our village are, they are not allowed to contact outsiders. Big brother, please go, if other people in the village If people see it, they will drive you away."
This time the child's words were a bit unexpected, Yue Liuyin and Xie Ze, who were not far away from them, listened and walked a few steps towards the child.
Yue Liuyin squatted down, looked at the child, and said with a smile: "Kids, do you know why your brother said that you can't contact outsiders?"
"I don't know." The child shook his head again.
At this moment, a middle-aged man ran over quickly, hugged the child, and looked at Yue Liuyin and the three of them warily: "You are foreigners, what do you want to do here?"
The face of this middle-aged man looked very pale, and he even felt as if he was dying of a serious illness.
Xiaofeng smiled and waved his hands kindly: "Brother, don't get me wrong, we are here to travel in the desert, and we have no malice towards the children."
"Huh!" The middle-aged man snorted coldly, and looked at the three of them mockingly: "You foreigners who come to this ghostly place to travel are more concerned than anything else. You say you are here to travel, but you actually want to go that place."
When the four words of that place were mentioned, the eyes of the middle-aged man were a little complicated.
Yue Liuyin kept looking at him, and quickly noticed the anger and fear in the middle-aged man's eyes. The anger might be directed at them, but what was the reason for the fear?
Xiaofeng continued: "Brother, what are you talking about? We are here to travel. Seeing that your village is developing so well, I just want to spend a night in your village."
The middle-aged man's face suddenly turned cold: "If you still want to die, you can go as far as you can from here. As for the place you want to go, if you go, you will die."
After finishing the last sentence, the middle-aged man held the child in his arms, glared at them a few times, and walked quickly into the village.
Xie looked at the man's back and asked, "Does the place the middle-aged man mentioned refer to the ancient underground city? This ancient village does not allow outsiders to enter, and it is extremely rich. It is really weird everywhere."
"I don't know if you noticed the faces of that middle-aged man and that child?" Yue Liuyin frowned slightly and said again: "The child looks like he just recovered from a serious illness, and his face is not as lively and rosy as other children, but it is reasonable But that middle-aged man also looks like he is in his prime, but his face is pale and blue, and his body is more thin, but it is not justified."
"Could it be that their village has an infectious disease?" Xiaofeng guessed, "Didn't the kid say that before? Their village does not allow outsiders to intervene, nor does it allow people in their village to have contact with outsiders. Perhaps it is because of cause of infectious disease."
"It's okay if that's the case." Xie Ze's face was a little dignified.
Yue Liuyin continued: "I felt a breath from the two of them, not a good breath, mixed with resentment and anger, and this breath was faintly devouring the vitality of the two of them."
"I remember that when the middle-aged man mentioned that place before, his eyes revealed anger and fear." What Yue Liuyin noticed, Xie Ze also noticed, and Xie Ze looked at Yue Liuyin, saying: Ah Yin, does the aura you mentioned have something to do with the ancient underground city? "
"Perhaps." Yue Liuyin looked away from this ancient village, which is full of weirdness everywhere, "I don't know if it is a village that has to be entered under any circumstances. Xie Ze, are you interested? Let's take an adventure tonight."
Xie Ze held Yue Liuyin's hand and nodded with a smile.
Xiaofeng silently shrinks his sense of existence, don't you know?Showing affection is the greatest harm to single dogs.
As night falls, Dagu Village is located near the desert, and the temperature difference between day and night changes very sharply.
Fortunately, both Yue Liuyin and Xie Ze had spiritual body protection, otherwise they would have been frozen into dogs.
The two sneaked into Dagu Village under the cover of night, because both of them had invisibility talismans on their bodies, so even if they passed by the villagers of Dagu Village, those people would not be able to feel their presence.
Walking into Dagu Village, the weirdness of Dagu Village becomes more and more obvious.
First of all, the strange and pale faces of these villagers. If one person is like this, it can also be explained by illness. If two, three or even a large group of people are like this, the whole village is like this, which is somewhat unreasonable.
Secondly, there are very few women and children in this village, especially children. Except for the child I saw during the day, Yue Liuyin and Xie Ze came in. After walking such a long distance, they didn’t see another child. The appearance of the child.
This last point is the night of Dagu Village.
During the daytime, Yueliuyin and the others couldn't hear any movement in the village at the entrance of the village. If it wasn't for the presence of the child and the middle-aged man, they even doubted whether there was anyone in Dagu Village.
But at night, Dagu Village suddenly became lively, the lights were brightly lit like daytime, and there was a market in the middle of the village, which looked like a very lively night party.
Except for these three weird things, Yue Liuyin and the others didn't find anything else wrong.
Every village will have a village head, who is in charge of everything in the village, and is relatively highly respected.
Why this big ancient village has become like this, maybe only by finding the village head of the big ancient village, can we figure it out.
The village chief's house is relatively easy to find. Among the villas in Dagu Village, the most luxurious one is the village chief's house.
Yue Liuyin and Xie Ze entered the village chief's house quietly, and heard a little movement after a while.
It was the conversation of two people, one of whom was the middle-aged man they had met during the day.
"Village chief, does Xiaomu have to go this time? He is only five years old. You are also his uncle, village chief. How can you just watch him being burned to death at such a young age?" Middle-aged The man's voice was a little regretful and feeble.
Through the window, Yue Liuyin and Xie Ze saw an old man with his back sitting opposite the middle-aged man.
The old man's face was already covered with age spots, and his eyes were cloudy, like a piece of rotten wood that might turn into dust at any time.
"Xiaomu is the only one left. Who else could go if he didn't go?" The village chief's voice was filled with resignation.
"Then this time the sacrifice is over, who should go next time? It has been nearly five years in our village, and no other children have been born. Village head, God will not forgive us. We are the offspring of sinners. God wants to Our entire village is extinct." The middle-aged man suppressed and shouted.
The village chief's body became more and more rickety: "Damu, I know you don't want to part with Xiaomu. I am the uncle of both of you. Watching you two grow up, I also don't want to part with Xiaomu. But this time Xiaomu won't go, just in case God gets angry. Our village is really hopeless."
As soon as the village chief finished speaking, Damu covered his face decadently, unable to say another word.
Upon hearing this, Yue Liuyin and Xie chose to leave at the same time.
"There is indeed a problem with this big ancient village. What time is it now? They are still doing human sacrifices. No wonder we walked in and didn't see any other children." Xie Ze said coldly.
"Gods want to eat people, so how can they be called gods?" Yue Liuyin sneered, laughing at the absurdity of the villagers in Dagu Village, and even laughing at the thing that is called a god but doesn't know what kind of demons and ghosts it is, " I figured it out, what is the reason for the resentment carried by these people? How could it be possible for those who died to have no resentment when the relatives around them were used as living sacrifices?"
"Ayin, I have a feeling that the god that the village chief and Damu mentioned exists." Xie Ze said suddenly, frowning.
Yue Liuyin looked at him in surprise: "Xie Ze, why do you feel this way?"
"I don't know why?" Xie Ze was a little dazed and confused, "This feeling in my heart is very real."
Yue Liuyin thought for a while, and took out a piece of talisman from the mustard space. The talisman was divided into four, and struck towards the four directions of Dagu Village.
But when the talisman was floating in the air, it suddenly seemed to hit some force, and it was instantly torn to pieces.
Yue Liuyin held her chest and took a step back.
Xie Ze quickly supported her: "A Yin."
"I'm fine." Yue Liuyin shook her head, put her hands down, her brows and eyes were a little cold, "Your feeling is correct, there are indeed traces of God's existence in this ancient village, and the whole village is covered with a layer of enchantment, I think Those people in Dagu Village do not allow outsiders to come in, nor do they allow people in the village to contact outsiders, there is a high possibility that they will not be able to get out of this village at all."
Xie Ze and Yue Liuyin left Dagu Village and returned to the homestay.
After returning, they still had a lot of doubts in their hearts, so they went to Dagu Village. They didn't understand the weird places in Dagu Village, but they added more secrets.
This is the xenophobic mentality of the villagers in Dagu Village. It may be difficult to find out what happened in Dagu Village from their mouths.
Early the next morning, Xie Ze went out alone.
Yue Liuyin collided with that force last night and suffered a little internal injury.
The two of them had discussed it last night. Since the villagers in Dagu Village didn't want to talk about it, they should ask the people from Xiaogu Village. The distance between the two villages is so close. People in Xiaogu Village don't believe what happened in Dagu Village. Not at all.
Xiaofeng also stayed in the homestay, still looking for opportunities to talk to the proprietress.
After Xie Ze came out, he walked around the town, and the only people who came and went in Gucang Town were only people from Xiaogu Village.
Those people in Dagu Village are like vampires in western myths and novels, curled up during the day, come out at night, and do not contact outsiders, weird and treacherous.
Gucang Town is not big, so after a short walk, Xie Ze almost finished the whole town.
When Xie Ze was preparing to go to Dagu Village to explore again, he happened to see an old woman in front of him, and accidentally fell down.
The pancakes in the basket in the old woman's hand fell to the ground. The alley they were in was relatively remote, and there were only the old woman and Xie Ze at the end of the alley.
Xie ran towards the old woman, helped the old woman up very lightly, and picked up the pancakes that fell on the ground back into the old woman's basket.
"Young man, you are a foreigner." The old lady was helped by Xie Ze to sit down on a big rock beside her. The old lady looked at Xie Ze and said decisively.
It is not difficult to see that Gucang Town is located on the edge of the desert, the wind and sand are very strong, and the faces of the people passing by are also particularly vicissitudes. It is difficult to find a handsome guy like Xie Ze who is fair and handsome.
Xie nodded, and used the excuse Xiaofeng said before: "I am indeed a foreigner, and I came here with a group of friends to travel, and we plan to go exploring in the desert."
The old lady smiled kindly, and the meaning in the smile was a little unpredictable: "If you are going to explore, you must pass through Dagu Village. The village pauses."
Xie Ze was stunned, pretending not to know anything, and asked curiously: "Grandma, why is Dagu Village not peaceful? I think they have fewer people and are quieter."
The old woman sighed suddenly: "Those are cursed people, they are greedy for black money, and they are destined not to live past the age of 40."
Xie was a little surprised: "Curse? Who cursed them?"
"No one can undo the curse of the gods, so Dagu Village is an ominous place. People in Xiaogu Village are unwilling to contact them, and they never come out, and they don't allow outsiders to enter."
It's a god again. Those people in Dagu Village use human sacrifices, and the objects of sacrifice are also gods.
Later, Xie still had a lot of questions, but the old lady shook her head and didn't say any more. She walked to the end of the alley with a basket on her arm.
Xie got the key point of the curse, and didn't ask any more questions outside, and returned to the hotel again.
After returning to the homestay, it happened that they were all sitting in the same room.
The people in the room had some disagreements, and Feng Zhenkai, the young master of the Feng family, who is also Feng Xiange's half-brother, suggested leaving quickly, and didn't want to delay like this any longer.
The more cautious people, such as Professor Chen and others, were worried about the very harsh climate in the desert. Don't find the ancient underground city, and all of them were buried in the desert.
Professor Chen and the others are ordinary people, unlike Feng Zhenkai and the others who have spiritual body protection, naturally they should be more cautious.
When Xie Ze came in, the two parties were a little unhappy.
Yue Liuyin sat in the room, a position by the window, lazily leaning on the chair, lying on the cat in the winter sun basking in the sun.
Xie Ze smiled and went to sit beside Yue Liuyin.
Not long after sitting down, Feng Zhenkai looked at them with a provocative face: "Mr. Xie is finally back, you are the leader of our team, you have been missing all day long, so you have to talk about what you are doing Bar."
The relationship between Xie Ze and Yueliuyin was understood by everyone present. Feng Zhenkai was a little afraid of Yueliuyin's identity as the ancestor of the Taoist sect, so he didn't dare to speak too harshly.
But Feng Zhenkai was a bit pretentious, he didn't want to obey orders and thank Ze Ze all the time, so his tone was unavoidably provocative.
Xie Ze gave Feng Zhenkai a cold look, there was no need to argue with these people, and he said, "I've been inquiring about Dagu Village for the past two days, we must pass through Dagu Village if we are going to the underground ancient city in the desert. road, but Dagu Village is a bit weird now..."
Xie Ze didn't hide his secrets, and told about the things about Dagu Village that he had inquired about in the past two days, especially the curse about God that he heard from the old woman outside just now.
After listening, Professor Chen pushed his glasses and took out a notebook: "In the notebook left by Lao Xue, he also mentioned the curse of this ancient village."
The old Xue mentioned by Professor Chen is the Taishan Beidou of the archaeological world who passed away before.
The two of them belonged to the same generation, had the same passion for archeology, and were friends with the same interest. Professor Xue's death made Professor Chen very sad.
So when the higher authorities decided to send a third group of people to the ancient underground city in the desert, Professor Chen was the first to stand up regardless of the danger.
"What did Professor Xue say in his notebook?" Xie Ze asked.
Professor Chen is getting old, and he is afraid that some places cannot be remembered clearly. He opened his notebook and looked at it, then raised his head and said: "In Lao Xue's notebook, it is recorded that Dagu Village was originally a village with the same population and wealth gap as Xiaogu Village. 50 years ago, the ancestors of Dagu Village accidentally came to the ancient underground city, and took out a large amount of gold from the ancient underground city, which is why Dagu Village is now rich."
"But after they took out the gold, it didn't take long for all the people in Dagu Village who were over 40 years old to die overnight, and the rest of the people who reached adulthood were also aging rapidly, and none of them survived. Those who are over 40 years old, their situation is cursed by the god in the ancient underground city. The god hates them for stealing gold and wants them to pay with their lives."
Xie Ze and Yue Liuyin looked at each other, combined with what the old woman said, 50 years ago, black-hearted money and curses all matched. Could it be that the fact that Dagu Village has become like this today is because of the greed of their ancestors? ?
Yue Liuyin frowned slightly, always felt that there was something wrong with it, the gods did not say how tolerant, but they are high above, possessing endless magic power, they can push mountains and fill seas with a single gesture, the wealth and splendor of the world, yes For them, it is just a moment in the ocean, will the people of a village be driven to the point of extinction because of mere gold?
Whether there will be a deeper reason for this, they don't know for the time being.
But now there is really no time to delay, no matter what the situation in Dagu Village is, they always want to take a look.
However, at this time, when Yueliuyin and the others didn't know about it, something unexpected happened in Dagu Village.
For nearly five years, no new life has been born, and after a short sacrifice, Dagu Village will face the end of not having a single child.
Without descendants, without life, Dagu Village will eventually perish.
At this time, the son of the village chief was about to marry a daughter-in-law, who was also the daughter of another family in Dagu Village.
The village head decided to make it lively, to see if he could make a splash so that after his daughter-in-law got married, he could quickly give birth to a grandson, breaking the impasse of not having a single baby born in the past five years.
The wedding banquet in the village started quickly. The village chief's son was only 16 years old, not yet an adult, and the bride was about the same age as him, but the young couple was about to form a new family under the witness of their parents.
The wedding banquet was held lively, and the faces of the villagers had a rare touch of joy, and they cheerfully sent the couple into the bridal chamber.
The night has just arrived, and the villagers of Dagu Village are very energetic at this time.
At this moment, the very spirited villagers heard a scream.
And the source of this scream is the new house of the newcomers.
The rickety village chief walked towards the new house with the support of two relatively muscular middle-aged men beside him.
As soon as the door was opened, the village chief's cloudy old eyes widened instantly, and a line of tears flowed down his face.
He saw his only son lying in a pool of blood with unwilling eyes staring at him.
The son of the village head held a pair of scissors in his hand, and there was a person lying opposite him, a newly married bride, also holding scissors in his hand.
Two young men who hadn't yet grown up were lying in a pool of blood.
The wound on the couple's neck was a very hideous blood hole cut in their necks.
The murder weapon was the scissors held by the two young men, and the scissors were still dripping blood.
The scene in front of him was like these two young people killing each other.
But they just got married today, and tonight is their bridal chamber. They have so much resentment in their hearts that they choose to stab each other to death on the first night of their wedding.
But everyone in Dagu Village knows that this couple is childhood sweethearts who grew up together, their marriage was approved by them, and there is nothing dirty between them, even if they had quarreled, it was just an ordinary fight. noisy.
No matter what, it is impossible to put the other party to death, let alone the two people's wide-open eyes, which still have the fear of life.
What are they afraid of? It can't be their childhood sweetheart.
"Village chief, what's going on? Why did the two of them die suddenly?" A villager shouted in fear.
"Could it be because of the stranger who came yesterday?" The middle-aged man named Damu who had talked with Yueliuyin and the others before said.
"What outsider?" The village chief's muddy eyes burst out with a startling gleam.
Damu told what happened during the day yesterday.
"Did they enter the village?"
Hearing what the village chief said, Damu shook his head: "Xiaomu and I just saw them at the entrance of the village."
"It shouldn't be them." The village chief couldn't wait to find out who killed his son, but he also knew that it was impossible for a few foreigners to sneak into the new house and kill his son and wife without alarming all of them.
"Who would that be?"
Suddenly, a voice came from the crowd: "Could it be that the gods are angry?"
After this one's voice finished speaking, at the same time, the expressions on everyone's faces froze, and the same fear appeared in their eyes, as if the scene at this moment was frozen.
"Prepare the sacrifice in advance, we must extinguish the wrath of the gods." The village chief agreed with this idea.
In the past 50 years, there have been no other murders in this village of theirs. They all died of natural aging, and they also did not live to be 40 years old.
The people who came in went out again, and all the red colors on the wedding banquet were removed, and the bleak white was hung up.
Two newlyweds who died tragically on their wedding night were put into a coffin, and at the moment the coffin was closed, a similar distorted smile appeared on the faces of the two newlyweds, which made people shudder.
At the same time, a black shadow appeared in the mourning hall. Such a black shadow was like a pair of eyes, watching all the people in Dagu Village.
No one can escape, one by one slowly.
The mysterious curse of Dagu Village, all the weird and treacherous things are confusing.
Yue Liuyin and Xie Ze decided to visit Dagu Village again at night.
Taking advantage of the nightfall, the Dagu Village was more lively that night than in the past, and everyone held a torch.
Under the reflection of the fire, those people's faces became paler and more numb. If they hadn't breathed out from their noses and mouths, they might not be much different from the walking dead.
Among these people holding torches, four people carried a sedan chair, and inside the sedan chair sat a child dressed in red and green, and his face was even painted with red powder.
And this child is Xiao Mu, the somewhat withdrawn child they had met before.
Xiaomu is just a five-year-old child. Under such circumstances, under the background of everyone's torches, his small face is expressionless, but if you look carefully, there are still some eyes mixed with his big round eyes. fear.
Xiaomu is a child, but he is different from children in other places. He grew up in Dagu Village, which makes him more mature and understands many other things than children of the same age. For example, he clearly knows what he is about to face. But he has no right to refuse.
He was the only child in the whole village, and he was the only choice when the god wanted the flesh and blood of a young life as a sacrifice.
So when Xiaofeng asked him why he didn't play with other friends, Xiaomu would answer that there were no other partners.
When Xiaomu was younger, he actually had a partner who was one year older than him.
But in the same scene as today, Xiaomu watched helplessly as his little friend was burned to a bone in the scorching sun.
For the survival of all the people in the village, and to appease the anger of the gods, Xiaomu will do the same as his little friend.
The most respected village chief walked up to Xiaomu with a glass of water, his eyes were kind and sad, numb and desperate: "Xiaomu, listen to uncle and drink this glass of water obediently."
Xiaomu remembered that before his little friend was burned to death, he also drank the same glass of water, and he couldn't remember anything after drinking it.
This is the last mercy of the people in the village, letting them leave in a coma.
After drinking the water, Xiaomu fell asleep not long after.
The sleeping child was tied up by two adults on a stake piled high with firewood.
Among the people holding torches around the stake, a middle-aged man stepped out from the crowd, this one was Xiaomu's biological brother.
Damu also held a torch in his hand, and he was reluctant to part with his younger brother. If he could, he would wish to go for his younger brother. With such a rotten body, he will not be forgiven by the gods.
The big wooden torch lit the firewood, and the fire quickly blazed up.
Surrounded by the raging flames was Xiao Mu who was still asleep on the stake.
Those people standing around, some of them were his closest relatives, neighbors who watched him grow up, no matter how hard these people could bear it, they had to witness him being burned to the ground.
Just when the flames were about to reach Xiaomu's sleeve, suddenly, a gust of wind blew over.
The whistling gust of wind was mixed with fury, and instantly extinguished the raging flames.
After the flames burned out, two people appeared in the middle of the fire, Xie Ze hugged Xiao Mu who was still in a coma, and Yue Liuyin looked at the numb people coldly.
"A group of ignorant idiots, do you think your so-called human sacrifice can remove the curse on you? It's a joke."
"Why did you two outsiders interrupt our sacrifice? No matter what you know, put down Xiaomu and leave our village immediately." The village chief glared at them coldly with old eyes.
"It's ridiculous. It seems that all your ignorance comes from the pitiful and hateful hearts in your hearts. You are born as humans, but you are worse than animals." Yue Liuyin looked at the group of people coldly, raised his hands, and another gust of wind blew However, this time the torches held by these people were extinguished, "I would like to see what the god you are worshiping is."
Those people watched their bodies being fixed in place, and then automatically made a way out. The two outsiders hugged Xiaomu and walked into the temple they feared and revered.
There is a temple in Dagu Village, which was also established 50 years ago. People in Dagu Village wanted to be forgiven by the gods, so they built this temple. Every year, they choose a fresh life as a living person Sacrifice, offered in front of the temple to the gods they fear and awe.
Yue Liuyin kicked open the door of the temple. The temple was a bit grand, and there was only one statue in the temple.
And this idol is made of gold, and the idol made of gold has a majestic expression, like an image of glaring King Kong.
What's ridiculous is that from the moment Yueliuyin walked in, she felt that there was not even a trace of divine spirit on this statue.
What's more, there is a sense of resentment around this statue.
Xie put down Xiaomu he was holding, walked towards Yueliuyin, and also fell in love with the god statue on the high hall: "God didn't forgive them, nor accepted their offerings."
"I'm afraid those people don't know the truth. It's ridiculous and pitiful. They use relatives around them as living sacrifices, and watch their own flesh and blood being burned alive, but they don't know that all their efforts are wasted." Here, Yue Liuyin sneered, "No, it's not a complete waste of effort, at least they succeeded in using their stupidity to shorten their already fragile lives."
"Ayin, what did you see?" Xie Ze felt an ominous aura when he walked in, but he still didn't know the source of this aura.
Yue Liuyin sneered: "There is no god in this temple, even if there is, it is a god transformed from a wraith. During those 50 years when those people were cursed by the gods, those idiots chose human sacrifices in order to resolve the curse. Although the souls of those who were burned alive left this place, the grievances left by them before they died remained here."
"These grievances have been accumulated year after year, and they are constantly amplifying until now they have formed a spirit of resentment. If the two of us hadn't come today, that child would have been burned to death by them. I'm afraid there would be no need for God at all." Curse, these people will kill themselves under the wrath of the wraith."
Xie Ze's expression was indifferent. Those people outside were pitiful, but they also responded to the sentence. Poor people must have something to hate, and those people are not worthy of sympathy at all.
It's just that those people don't deserve sympathy, and this little life that was brought in by them, Xiaomu shouldn't die like this.
Even if his life was only 40 years short, or even less than that, it shouldn't be lost at the hands of those people for such absurd reasons.
"Come out." Yue Liuyin looked at one place coldly.
In that place, the air twisted for a moment, and quickly turned into a black shadow.
This black image is a cloud of black mist, and there is no concrete human figure cultivated in the black mist, only a pair of eyes that look a little eerie.
This thing is the spirit body transformed from resentment, and it is also the resentment and resentment of those who were sacrificed and burned alive before death.
Yue Liuyin looked at the mass with colder eyes, it seemed that they were still a step late, this wraith was already tainted with murder.
Two lives, not long ago.
The village head and the villagers of Dagu Village thought that the village head's son and daughter-in-law died tragically under the curse of the gods, but they didn't know that the death of the two people was because of their stupidity.
This vengeful spirit was cultivated by their own hands. Without their stupid human sacrifice, this vengeful spirit would not have appeared at all.
But now this wraith is constantly growing, and the blood shed by two fresh lives can no longer satisfy this wraith that is about to move. They should be glad that this time, Yue Liuyin and Xie Ze came.
"They're going to kill again, they deserve to die." A somewhat vague voice uttered from the black mist formed by the Wraith, mixed with a very deep resentment.
Some are like children, some are like women.
Yue Liuyin was unmoved by this: "Even if they deserve to die, they shouldn't die in your hands. It's just a group of resentful spirits who wantonly take other people's lives. Do you think you are the judge of the world?"
The actions of the villagers in Dagu Village are indeed worthy of death, but even if they deserve death, the people who come to take revenge should be the souls killed by them, not this group of spirits formed by relying on resentment.
"You want to save them, why do you want to save them? You are all murderers, you are all together, you all deserve to die." The black mist condensed by the resentful spirits continued to grow, covering the whole place in a blink of an eye. most of the temple.
And this cloud of black mist is still eager to try to stretch towards Yueliuyin and the others.
At this moment, Xie Ze stretched out his arms, and Yuan Yijian suddenly appeared in his hand. With a wave of the long sword, the sharp sword glow seemed to cut through the brilliance of the night, and immediately dissipated all the black shadows that were close to Yueliuyin. fog.
A scream came from the black mist, and the black mist that was still expanding suddenly shrank to the size of a basketball.
This wraith has not been formed for a long time, and he doesn't have much thinking, but he already knows what it means to bully the weak and fear the strong?
Whether it was Yueliuyin who hadn't done anything yet, or Xie Ze who was holding the Yuan Yi sword in his hand, neither of them could be provoked by such a small wraith.
As soon as the black mist moved, he quickly wanted to escape to the door.
Yue Liuyin smiled coldly, flicked her white fingers lightly, and the door of the temple that was originally kicked open by her kicked instantly closed.
Wraith has no specific form for the time being, and can pass through any place, so for the closed door, Wraith's footsteps still don't stop at all.
However, when it tried to pass through the door in vain, the Wraith was bounced onto the statue with a snap.
The black mist, which was originally the size of a basketball, shrank again, this time to the size of a pear.
If the black mist completely disappears, this newly formed spirit body will say goodbye to this world again.
Yue Liuyin grabbed her hand, and Wraith Ling grabbed her hand in an instant.
"Forgive me, forgive me." A poor child's voice came out of the pear-sized black mist.
Maybe this wraith still has a bit of thinking, at least it knows that a young woman who looks like Yue Liuyin's age always has a different kind of sympathy for poor children.
It's a pity that Yue Liuyin is not an ordinary young woman, even if she is, Yue Liuyin can't find the slightest sympathy for a group of resentful spirits.
Wraiths are born out of resentment. In the beginning, they could only absorb the resentment in the world to strengthen themselves. After cultivating into a spirit body, especially if their hands are infected with murder, human life can also become a sacrifice for them to strengthen themselves. .
The more human lives are in their hands, the more powerful the wraiths will be. When they are strong enough, they can even dilute all the filth in the world, especially the filthy emotions and desires on the other side of the human body.
It's like a false god that Yue Liuyin met before, a resentful spirit cultivated, if it wasn't for the unlucky thing that bumped into Yue Liuyin's hand, there would be nothing left of being bombarded by the Nine Heavens God, otherwise If you wait for it to continue to grow, you don't know how far it will grow.
"If you want to gain my sympathy, then you are looking for the wrong person."
The group of resentful spirits suddenly felt a breath of fear.
Yue Liuyin didn't show any pity at all, and squeezed hard.
After the screams, everything temporarily calmed down.
"There is no need for this place to exist anymore." Yue Liuyin took a last look at the statue that had no aura of God at all.
Xie Ze picked up Xiao Mu again, and stepped out of the temple with Yue Liuyin.
The moment he walked out, under the shocked gazes of the people outside, Xie Ze's Yuan Yi sword slashed across the fake temple.
With a bang, the temple that had stood for 50 years collapsed.
But at this moment, Yue Liuyin stopped her footsteps.
Because among the collapsed ruins, something appeared.
"What is that, it looks interesting." Yue Liuyin walked towards that thing.
Xie put Xiaomu down and followed.
The thing exposed in the ruins looks like a stone tablet.
It is a black stone tablet with many inscriptions engraved on it, and a town character is written on one side.
These inscriptions are all written in an ancient script. Coincidentally, Yueliuyin just knew each other. After reading it, Yueliuyin couldn't help laughing.
In the past, she said that the villagers of Dagu Village were a bunch of idiots, but now that they are idiots, she praised them.
"Ayin, there is something wrong with this stone tablet. There is a kind of power on it, which seems to be suppressing something." Xie Ze just walked into this stone tablet, and he felt a very uncomfortable force. They were all a little irritable and wanted to destroy this stele.
"Hehe!" Yue Liuyin sneered: "I don't know who set up a formation on this stone tablet, Xie Ze, do you know what this formation is used for?"
Xie shook his head, "I don't know, but the power from above makes me feel very uncomfortable."
Hearing this, Yue Liuyin's smile faded away, she held Xie Ze's hand, and pushed it over with a wave of spiritual power.
Under Yue Liuyin's spiritual power, the irritable feeling in Xie Ze's heart quickly disappeared.
Although this feeling disappeared, Xie Ze still held Yue Liuyin's hand tightly.
Yue Liuyin glanced at him with a smile, and then looked at the stone tablet: "These people who are worse than idiots are trying to use this stone tablet to suppress—God."
Xie was stunned for a moment, and didn't know whether those people were too confident or too stupid.
Mortals try to suppress gods, but they can't even find the breath of gods.
When Yue Liuyin and Xie Ze saw this temple for the first time, they really thought it was the people from Dagu Village who wanted to use the spirit of incense to make the god behind them remove the curse on them.
Looking at it now, this is just one of the goals of the people in Dagu Village. Their more important goal is to use this stone tablet buried under the temple to suppress the gods in the temple.
However, these stupid and poor people don't know that whether it's their human sacrifice or their stone tablet, it's just a waste of their efforts.
In this huge ancient village, apart from the presence of gods on the barrier above, which forbids them to leave, there is no trace of gods anywhere in the ancient village.
The villagers of Dagu Village were also fixed in place by Yueliuyin's immobilization talisman, whether it was Yueliuyin and Xie Ze who stepped into the temple, or Xie Ze destroyed the temple with a sword, revealing the hidden treasures buried below. These people can only look at the stone tablet, but can't do anything, and they can't even speak.
Until this time, Yue Liuyin became a little curious, how did such a group of ordinary people get this stele.
Although this stele is useless, the formation on the stele clearly exists.
With a wave of her hand, Yue Liuyin released the village chief's restraint, and asked, "Who made this stele?"
The village chief glared at Yue Liuyin angrily, but kept silent.
Yue Liuyin slightly curled her lips: "At this time, you have a bit of backbone. When you can use your relatives as living sacrifices, what kind of backbone do you have? While I still have some interest in the direction, tell me honestly. , otherwise the deity is not sure what he will do."
Yue Liuyin doesn't like to use power to overwhelm others, and often when she calls herself the deity, it means that Yue Liuyin doesn't want to be polite to you.
The village chief, whose bones were as decayed as dead wood, softened, and replied in a weak voice: "This stone tablet was erected by a wizard in our village. The wizard told me that as long as the stone tablet is still there, Dagu Village will not be extinct."
"Ridiculous." Yue Liuyin snorted coldly, "It's just a stone tablet with a little formation, and it's trying to suppress God."
After Yue Liuyin uttered the last sentence, the village chief's complexion changed visibly, and the deep age spots and wrinkles on that old face distorted.
"My lord, forgive me, it's not that we want to disrespect the gods, we just want to live."
The people in Dagu Village are hateful and pitiful. The reason why their pity is not worthy of sympathy is that they are so hateful.
Yue Liuyin didn't sympathize with them, her voice was still indifferent: "Why are you guys cursed by God?"
The village head froze for a moment, his eyes numb and vicissitudes turned to the pile of ruins of the temple, and he turned back after a while, sighing.
The story of Dagu Village originated 50 years ago.
Fifty years ago, a stranger came to the village, and the stranger brought a map.
It is said that this map is a treasure map. Under the guidance of the treasure map, there is an underground ancient city in the middle of the desert, and there is everything in the underground ancient city.
Gold is even more numerous.
Under the invitation of this stranger, the people in Dagu Village were very tempted.
At that time, young and middle-aged people from more than a dozen large ancient villages followed the outsider to find the underground ancient city buried in the desert along with the clues of the treasure map, in an attempt to obtain that treasure.
Half a year later, those young and middle-aged people who left Dagu Village came back, only half of them came back, and the outsider disappeared, and those who came back indeed brought back countless gold.
The gold made the people of Dagu Village overjoyed. They used the gold to live a prosperous life, and even built villas like those rich people. Dagu Village, which was originally poor and backward, became a group of villas.
The people in the small ancient village adjacent to them are very envious, but amidst the complacency of the people in the big ancient village and the envy of the people in the small ancient village, an accident happened.
In Dagu Village, everyone who was 40 years old and went up died overnight.
Adults are also aging rapidly.
Anyone who has reached the age of eighteen, they seem to have lost their youth, and can quickly become an old man who is six or seventy years old overnight.
Even if it's slow, a year will take them from a lively lad to a shambling old man.
Take today's village head as an example, the village head looks like an old man with one and a half feet who has already stepped into the grave, but in fact the village head is only in his 30s.
And Damu, the middle-aged man who reluctantly sacrificed his own younger brother, was actually a young man who had just turned [-].
At that time, there was a wizard in the village. The wizard told the people in the village that their ancient village was cursed by the gods.
There lived a god in the ancient underground city in the desert, the ancient underground city was built by the god, and the innumerable gold there was also the god's property.
The people in Dagu Village stole the gold from the gods, and the gods cast a curse under the curse of the gods. Under the curse of the gods, the people in Dagu Village could not live to be 40 years old, and they would lose their youth forever.
What's more, the people of Dagu Village also found that they couldn't go out of Dagu Village's boundaries. They were trapped in this place, and an invisible prison enveloped all of them.
Sorrow, pain and despair at that time were the truest portrayal of these people.
At that time, even if the people who stole the gold wanted to put the gold back, they had no choice because they couldn't get out.
The people in Dagu Village want to lift the curse, but they are a group of ordinary people, and they can only ask for help from the most mysterious wizard in the village.
This wizard is also a foreigner who settled in Dagu Village many years ago and possesses mysterious and unpredictable abilities.
The wizard told the people of Dagu Village to build a temple and let them bury a stone tablet with formations under the temple.
I tried to use this to try to resolve the curse of the gods, but it was still useless. At that time, the people in Dagu Village were forced to do nothing, or they thought of human sacrifice under the fear of death.
Women were the first to be sacrificed, because women have the weakest strength, and the idea that men are superior to women is still in this backward village.
But it was useless, women were treated as sacrificial offerings and could not be forgiven by the gods at all.
Moreover, the people of Dagu Village also hope to reproduce through women, and they cannot let women die.
Therefore, the people in Dagu Village set the sacrificial objects as old people who were on the verge of 40 years old, but it was still useless.
In the end, it was replaced by today's children. The people of Dagu Village foolishly imagined that they would be forgiven by the gods with the lives of fresh children.
But what they finally got was that five years ago, no other little life was born in the ancient village.
In a huge ancient village, there is only one child, Xiaomu.
Amid the sighs of the village chief, Yue Liuyin and Xie Ze learned about the reason of the curse.
One comes from the word greed, if there is no greed at the beginning, there will be nothing today.
Not to mention who the foreigner was 50 years ago and what purpose he had, he just rashly believed in a treasure map and a random sentence spoken by a stranger. People are indeed pitifully stupid.
It's just that a curse has been extended for 50 years. I don't know how many lives have been buried in it. I don't know when it will end. Maybe it will be the day when Dagu Village is really extinct.
The village chief looked at Yue Liuyin carefully. Before that, the village chief had discovered that Yue Liuyin and Xie Ze, two outsiders, had very different powers.
Could it be that they were the protagonists in the prophecy about Dagu Village's glimmer of hope left behind by the wizard when he was dying.
The village chief raised his cloudy eyes: "My lord, when the wizard died, he left behind a painting. There are two people in the picture, which are somewhat similar to your lord and your lover."
Hearing this, Yue Liuyin became a little curious. Could it be that the wizard really has the ability to prophesy, knowing that she and Xie will appear here after 50 years.
