Mayor Wang Ren raised his thin glasses, looked at Meng Shuixin and said, "From the day you came back, I knew that we were trapped in the gap of time, because everything has changed, just like we were locked down here a long time ago, before your current break-in, we are trapped. ”

"Wait a minute, Mayor Wang Ren, I think I might understand what you mean." Chen Tian stroked his eyes at this time and said, "You mean that you were originally trapped by the curse, right?" ”

Wang Ren's expression changed for a moment, and then he returned to normal: "I thought Meng Rong had already sued you." ”

"Mayor Wang Ren." Meng Shuixin opened his mouth and said, "I believe that you are my grandfather's good friend, but this does not mean that you can push everything on my grandfather, mayor, I don't care that you are originally in the existence of zài and curse, I only care about how to break this curse, because I think that since you have been trapped in the same time in the past years, there must be a purpose, otherwise why are you trapped alone on this day of the celestial vision?" ”

The smile on Wang Ren's face disappeared, but he was silent for a while, looked at Meng Shuixin and said, "The daughter of the Meng family really lives up to her name, and she is worthy of your family's surname." It's just that you're right, we really want to get rid of this curse of fate for generations, we don't want to live on the same day, because on this day every day someone dies and someone is born, but it doesn't follow the laws of nature, he may also follow certain laws, but it is a mysterious law that we don't know. The only thing we can do in a day is to wait for the high priest to come out and tell us that in the next few days, how many will be born and how many will die. ”

"Even the number of births and deaths is prescribed, do you have to give birth like a Virgin Mary without men and women together?" Meng Shuixin frowned.

"You said that we are a cursed city, how can we have the ability of normal people, the number of our women and the number of men have not changed for so long, and they are walking day by day with a surprisingly similar trajectory." Wang Ren said and smiled bitterly.

"Wait a minute." Chen Tian interrupted the old man's sad emotions and said, "Are you saying that all male and female numbers are the same?" ”

"Yes, women are chosen by the high priest to pass on the life of the next generation, and how long each person lives is in the hands of the high priest, or in the hands of this curse that is carried on us, and I was also given the accusation of the mayor by the high priest as soon as I was born, but, I believe, my day will soon come, and I will soon meet the day of my death." Wang Ren said, "I don't know if it's fate that you are trapped here, but, Meng Shuixin, I hope you can break this curse, I believe that it may not be accidental that your mother was able to enter our town back then, perhaps, his arrival will herald your arrival, you see......"

Wang Ren opened the box he was holding just now, and inside was a sheepskin scroll, the ancient characters in it Meng Shuixin didn't know, but Chen Tian took the sheepskin scroll and looked at it, Meng Shuixin looked at Chen Tian and looked very seriously and asked, "Do you know?" ”

Chen Tian nodded: "Wen Jingrong mentioned such ancient characters in the book he gave me before, and I was very interested, so I asked Wen Jingrong to help me find more books on this subject, so it can be said that I probably know some of these words." ”

"Wen Jingrong, it's him ......again," Meng Shuixin said in a dark voice.

"This is an ancient text, some of which are very difficult to understand, and I don't understand it very well, after all, I have only read it for a while, but I can probably surmise that this is a sacrificial text." Chen Tian said.

"Priest, Mayor Wang Ren, is it possible for us to meet the high priest?"

Mayor Wang Ren said with an embarrassed expression on his face: "It's not that I don't let you see the high priest, it's just that the days we have seen the high priest over the years are numbered, and the last time you appeared, it was also one of the only times we saw the high priest, and the high priest is really the most sacred being in the stone, and we have no way to decide whether we can see him or not." ”

"Wait a minute, Mayor Wang Ren." Chen Tian suddenly interjected and said while looking at the parchment roll, "Can you tell me the number of men and women in your town, since the number of people in your town has never changed, I guess these numbers have not changed either, right?" ”

Meng Shuixin looked at Chen Tian and did not speak.

"Come to think of it, we have 84 men and 66 women." Wang Ren said.

Chen Tian pointed to an incomprehensible ancient character on the parchment scroll, and said: "150, the three stars alternate, the time overlaps, this is a large altar that wants to change time, and it is not ...... to change everyone's fate."

"This sacrifice is not meant to change the fate of everyone." Meng Shuixin picked up Chen Tian's words, and some fragments suddenly flashed in his mind and continued, "It's about changing a person's fate, and this one is very likely to have died in ancient times, but he has an identity that cannot be resurrected lightly, so they have prepared a grand sacrifice, and everyone who dies in their fate is the sacrifice of this huge sacrifice." ”

Chen Tian looked at Meng Shuixin and said, "But this sacrifice was indeed stalled, so Stone Town has been trapped in time and can't escape, where did this parchment come from?" ”

Wang Ren raised his head and looked at Meng Shuixin, hesitated for a while and said, "This was brought by your mother." ”

"What did you say?" Meng Shuixin looked at Wang Renyou and asked repeatedly.

"At the beginning, your mother said that it was because she found this parchment scroll that she knew about our existence, and she wanted to find it, and your mother had an unprecedented spirit of adventure that does not belong to a girl, and she also found this place through the clues on this map." Wang Ren said,

here. Wang Ren said, "The most rare thing is that your mother can't read the words on it at all, he just feels that these patterns are at least stored in this parchment scroll, so I want to return her to you, I think that since he can find our storage zài with this parchment scroll, you must also be able to rely on it to us." ”

Meng Shuixin looked at the parchment roll on the table, and suddenly felt that his back was very cold, and there was a coldness that spread directly from his back to his whole body, after being reborn, Meng Shuixin thought that it was only possible to control it together, this qiē was a qiē that he had experienced, and the things in this world were all things he had experienced, but it was also when the wordless progress of life that Meng Shuixin found more and more that this life was fundamentally different from the previous life. Some of the trajectories seem to deviate from the course they should have, and the things that I had not paid attention to in the previous life have gradually surfaced, and the things that have been hidden by the dust have gradually revealed their essence.

This qiē is like an invisible hand controlling this qiē behind his back, which makes Meng Shuixin feel that he should be the one who should be pulling the rope, but he is being manipulated by someone's rope, which makes Meng Shuixin feel very uncomfortable.

"Chen Tian, what kind of writing is this?"

"I once saw it in a book that Wen Jingrong gave me, and it was said that this script is an ancient script, which is earlier than the knotted rope record. Before the knotted rope record, we actually stored the zài text, but the writing at that time did not belong to human beings, human beings did not deserve to have such a high-level writing, at that time the writing was the exclusive of God, God used this text to communicate and sacrifice heaven and earth, it has always existed, but human beings have not known its existence zài, he is thousands of years earlier than human characters or even tens of thousands of years earlier. Chen Tian said, "But suddenly one day, a god leaked this text to human beings with a copy of the text that only belongs to the gods, so other people began to destroy the behavior of human beings, just to prevent this kind of text leakage, of course, this qiē is a myth mixed with a qiē biography of the clues, some are true and some are false, they are older than the age of history, longer than the time when dinosaurs existed, so I have always been skeptical about the content of these books." ”

"However, such words are indeed preserved." Meng Shuixin said, "What are we going to do now?" ”

"You're right, Meng Shuixin, we need to go to the high priest, and then, bring him this parchment scroll." Chen Tian said, "No matter what this sacrificial ritual is, no one knows better than him, unfortunately, I can't understand a lot of the words on this parchment scroll, it doesn't look like hieroglyphs, nor does it look like ancient Chinese, but there are some feelings like a combination of foreign and domestic ancient characters, if you look at it, I don't think he is a kind of writing, I think he is like a word game, a word game that disassembles and reassembles all the words, but or, All the words were pieced together by him as the source. ”

"Mayor Wang Ren, you also heard, we need to see the high priest." Meng Shuixin said.

"Really no, none of us can go to the high priest and disturb the high priest's retreat without the permission of the high priest and the initiative to receive him, otherwise we will be punished greatly." Wang Ren said.

"But......" Chen Tian was just about to say something, when there was a sudden sound of chaos at the door, and then he heard someone shouting at the door, "Mayor Town, Mayor Town, it's not good, it's not good, the thunder has killed two people, but there are no pregnant women in our town recently!" ”

Wang Ren stood up suddenly, his short body as if he was about to fall.
