As soon as Zi Ye's words were finished, Ying Xi saw a group of people dressed strangely suddenly appeared in front of them, and when they got closer, they didn't seem to be human, not only dressed strangely, but even their faces were unusually terrifying, with long hair on their faces, black skin, nostrils facing the sky, and their mouths opened to reveal two fangs that were more than a foot long, extremely vicious, and Ying Xi approached Zi Ye's arms with a slight sigh.

This group of monsters is getting closer and closer to the Purple Night, and more and more monsters are approaching and seem to form a circle, surrounding the Purple Night.

A strange sound of music sounded, and a gust of yin wind raged, Zi Ye clenched the sword in his hand, and protected Ying Xi with the other hand, no matter what kind of monsters these were in front of him, as long as they came up, they would have to fight to break through, just as the monsters in front of him were getting closer and closer, Zi Yan seemed to see a small figure hiding behind this group of monsters, it should be right, Zi Ye looked at it again, it was a child.

"Wait!" The monsters continued to approach, Zi Ye suddenly shouted, this sound seemed to break the strange atmosphere, the monsters seemed to be stunned by this shout, taking advantage of this moment, Zi Ye flew up, flashed to one of the monsters, reached out and grabbed it, a grimace mask was dragged into his hand, looking at the hideous monster mask in his hand, Zi Ye smiled, sure enough, these should be people, they are just dressed in strange costumes and wearing the masks of these monsters.

The people whose masks were unmasked seemed to panic, and suddenly someone in the crowd shouted, "The Drought Fish is going to eat people!" The others scattered and fled.

Zi Ye also reacted very quickly, he immediately grabbed the person who was removed from the mask, and at this time, the person who was pulled by him also cried and shouted: "Lord Drought Fish, please don't eat me, I have a thin body with yellow muscles and no flesh, and I am still sick, please don't eat me!" ”

"This big brother, what are you talking about? And why cannibalism? The person who had struggled for a long time and had not broken free seemed to be much calmer when he heard what Zi Ye said, and only then did he dare to secretly turn his head and look at the person who pulled him to speak.

"You, you're not a drought?"

"Of course I'm not a drum, and I don't eat people." As if sensing that the person who was being pulled had calmed down, Zi Ye also let go of his hand and smiled.

"Oops, I'm scared to death, you're a human being for a long time!" This eldest brother is not a polite person, and he was relieved when he heard Zi Ye's words, and stared at Zi Ye carefully for a long time before he relaxed.

"Hmph, you're not a human being!" Ying Xi, who was sitting on horseback, snorted coldly, and she also recovered from the shock just now.

"Oh, it's really two people, you said you really didn't come early or late, but this hour rushed out of that ghost place, and rode a horse, we thought it was some kind of two-headed monster with four hooves in the upper body!"

"Why did this big brother say that?" Purple Night also felt a little strange, even if they were wrong just now, but the clothes and masks they were wearing knew that they should have been waiting here for a long time, and it seemed more like some kind of ritual was going to be held.

"Hey, I'll tell you." The eldest brother was about to open the words to tell the ins and outs, but suddenly heard a more strange sound from the dense forest, the ground began to shake slightly at this time, and the eldest brother's face immediately turned pale, "Go, hurry up, leave first!" After speaking, without waiting for Zi Ye to answer, he hurriedly ran in the direction where the group of people had fled.

The Purple Night Soldier's sense of smell also seemed to realize some unusual danger, so he hurriedly mounted his horse and took Ying Xi all the way to follow the big brother who had escaped just now.

After running for less than a stick of incense, following the direction of those people scattering, Ziye they seemed to see some lights, it seemed that there were a few thatched huts, this should be the village where they were originally going to find a place to stay, and when Ziye and their horses walked to these houses, they found that those people had already hidden in the house, and the door of the house was closed tightly, which did look a little unusual.

Zi Ye got off the horse, found one of the thatched houses, buckled on the door and shouted: "Is there anyone, we fled and got lost in the war, can I ask the eldest brother and sister if you can borrow a place to stay overnight?" ”

At first, there was no movement in the door, and Zi Ye was not in a hurry, and after waiting for a long time, he knocked on the door again, this time there seemed to be movement, and the door quietly opened a crack to reveal a head, Zi Ye saw that it was a coincidence, isn't this the big brother who escaped? The man also seemed to recognize Ziye and them, and opened the door with peace of mind, "I said why are you again, come into the house!" ”

Ziye knew that something strange must be there, and they seemed to be afraid of something, but they didn't ask much, so they quickly helped Ying Xi off their horses and hid in the house together.

The room is very light, there are no decorations, they are all tools for the peasant family's usual farming, and there is a big carbon basin in the middle, this big brother is very enthusiastic, and moved a few small benches for Ziye to sit down around the brazier. Zi Ye also sat down casually, but Ying Xi was a little uncomfortable with such an environment for a while, looking at Ying Xi's stunned expression, Zi Ye didn't talk much, he looked at a wooden cabinet with a leather jacket for keeping out the cold, so he took it and spread it on the bench and said to the eldest brother: "Please borrow this leather jacket from the eldest brother, my sister was originally the daughter of a big family, but she was lost with her family because of this war, so..."

Before Ziye finished speaking, the eldest brother understood people and said: "Oh, when you look at this girl, you know that your status is noble, and we really don't have anything good to entertain in the countryside, so we can only grieve this girl." ”

Ying Xi looked at the cushion that Zi Yezi had carefully laid out for himself, and then tested the softness with his hand, and then smiled and said to Ying Xi: "Miss Duo'er, come, sit down, I can only temporarily wronged you for a few days, you can rest assured that Zi Ye will arrange you properly!" Ying Xi looked at Ziye's smile, and suddenly felt so relieved, why would such a stubborn and cold person smile so gently?

When Yingxi was stunned, this man opened the conversation box first: "The two of you must be surprised by what happened just now." Seeing Ziye and they nodded, the man continued: "This is a bit of a long story, it is said that there are less than ten families in our village, and the ancestors are the descendants of the Lou Fu country of the northern clan in the Spring and Autumn Period. Originally, it was also comfortable, perhaps because of the long-term residence in the Central Plains, we maintained the same habits as the Central Plains people, and it was not difficult to communicate, but a little bit of the customs of building annoyance have been handed down, and a sacrificial ceremony will be held during this time of year to pray for health. So the costumes and masks that you saw earlier were also special props drawn by our former High Priest. ”

However, after an incident happened a few years ago, the village began to change a little unpeacefully. That incident started from a heavy rainy day a few years ago, this was originally a wild and remote place, except for the people of the tribe, there were few outsiders passing by, but it was raining heavily that day, a woodcutter in our village was passing by a mountain road, and suddenly saw a group of mighty teams, that group of people should be dressed as Central Plains people, led by a person dressed as an official, is urging others as if they are transporting something. The woodcutter was intrigued, and he followed the group to get closer, but when he came a little closer, and hid behind a large tree, he realized that the men seemed to be carrying a boulder about three feet high. This is a little strange, if those people transport some gold jewelry or brocade jade is very normal, but it is really a strange thing to transport such a large piece of stone, the woodcutter is also more and more curious, want to get closer to see a clear, this just approached, the woodcutter almost screamed in surprise, God, this stone is like a winding dragon, especially the dragon's head, the eyes, nose and beard are really magical, this live momentum frightened woodcutter dare not look carefully, This must be a fetish! The woodcutter secretly thought in his heart, so he didn't dare to get any closer, and when he was about to leave, he only heard a bang of lightning accompanied by a lightning strike that brightened up the radius of several miles, and this strong white light almost made people unable to open their eyes, the woodcutter barely opened his eyes but saw the wonders of his life, in the vast white light, he seemed to see a lifelike purple dragon swimming in the sky, and then what was even more peculiar was that out of nowhere came out of nowhere, a few big dragons came out of nowhere, and the number of woodcutters plus this purple one was a total of nine flying dragons, The spectacle of the Nine Dragons hovering is truly unheard of! But it was only in the blink of an eye, with the lightning flying, the scene just now also disappeared without a trace, leaving only a piece of scorched earth that was struck by lightning, and there were two booms, and the woodcutter followed the sound to see that the dragon stone carried by those people just now had slid down with the mountain, and the woodcutter also hurriedly followed the direction of the dragon stone rolling down.

He himself didn't know how long he had been chasing, but when he was just panting for breath, he found a piece of rubble, and it seemed that the dragon-shaped boulder must have landed near here, and the woodcutter was both surprised and delighted, and he was both curious about this artifact and rejoiced that there might be some treasure hidden in it, so the woodcutter continued to follow the gravel to the depths of the forest.

When the woodcutter found the dragon-shaped boulder, the boulder had been broken into several pieces, but the shape of the fall was indeed very strange, some seemed to have something released from it, and then looked at the broken dragon's head, the eyes were full of a spirit, and the woodcutter also felt strange, how this is obviously a stone, this dragon's eyes are indeed a little dazzling, so he approached and took a closer look, and this look found something.

It turned out that this dragon's eye turned out to be a gem, glowing faintly lilac light, this time the woodcutter was bold, it seems that this must be a treasure, so he made great efforts to buckle this gem out of the dragon's eye, just buckled out, suddenly the earth shook, the woodcutter was so frightened that he hugged his head, waited for a while, the vibration seemed to stop, he looked around again, but unfortunately the other half of the dragon head that fell out of how to find, otherwise the other eye must also be made of gems.

At this time, although the rain was light, but the sky was overcast and more terrible, and the black and oppressive dark clouds rolled in, as if they wanted to encroach on the whole sky, and the woodcutter felt that this place was also a little evil, so he hurried home with this treasure in his arms.
