Chapter 363 The Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon Celebrates Her Life
The village soon fell into a deathly silence, and the villagers had already gone back to their houses.
The lights in the house had been turned off, Han Yunong stood by the window, looking at the farmhouse opposite, there was a window there, he could vaguely see a figure standing there behind the window, and he knew very well in his heart that the villagers opposite must have been ordered by the chief of security and had been monitoring this side.
The house was dark, and Han Yunong naturally knew that the eyesight of the villager on the other side was not strong enough to see the situation in the window here.
The opposite side is nothing more than staring at the door, as long as the front door is open and entering, the opposite side can be seen clearly.
Du Hongsheng had already fallen asleep, while Qin Xiao and Yuwen Chengchao were sitting on the ground.
Yuwen Chengchao and Qin Xiao got up immediately, but Han Yunong made a gesture, signaling that the two of them did not need to be in a hurry, the two approached the window, but saw that there were more than ten figures walking quickly, they seemed to be deliberately not letting the people in the house hear the movement, although they walked quickly, but the footsteps were extremely light.
The three of them could see clearly, most of these dozen figures were carrying bags in their hands, some or less, and they could vaguely recognize that the strong man who had beaten the old woman before was also among them.
These people are all people who have gone through life and death situations, and they have one common strength, that is, they have enough patience.
I don't know how long it took, but I heard Han Yunong say softly: "There is a move." ”
Yuwen Chengchao immediately said, "I'll go with you." ”
"Don't follow too closely, see what tricks they play, don't show your face until you have to, and don't do anything with them." Han Yunong instructed in a low voice: "I'm here to protect Lord Du, you two check the situation and rush back as soon as possible." ”
These people were very fast, and they walked past the door in the blink of an eye, and in the middle of the night, they did not know where they were going.
"I'll follow." Qin Xiao said in a low voice: "Let's see what the hell is going on." ”
Both nodded.
The farmhouse where they lived, it was strange to say, there was no back door, but the back window was opened, and the two of them climbed out of the back window, and behind them was a small forest, and in the middle of the night, no one was staring at this wood.
Han Yunong really doesn't have to worry about these two guys.
Qin Xiao is smart and smart, Yuwen Chengchao is experienced, and they are both solitary roles, and there will be no accidents when these two are together.
Instead, they maintained their formation, with a dozen or so people forming two teams and trotting all the way.
Qin Xiao and the others followed behind, keeping a certain distance, not close, just vaguely seeing their figures.
The two of them climbed out of the window, and without delay, they quickly moved towards the entrance of the village, both of them with cats at their waists and brisk figures.
Out of the woods, looking towards the entrance of the village, I faintly saw that the dozen or so figures had left the village, bypassed the pond, and walked in a northeast direction.
It is estimated that at this time it is already the time of the sea, the people of the village, the sunrise and the sunset, as long as the sky is dark, they will rarely walk outside, according to common sense, before the time of the sea, the whole village should have been asleep.
But these people went out of the village in the middle of the night, and they walked for most of the hour
Both of them knew that those villagers would not be too far away in the night, and they could vaguely see them from behind, but even if they looked back, they would not find themselves.
After walking for more than half an hour, they were already far away from the village, and the two of them followed behind, both suspicious in their hearts.
Qin Xiao knew that it must be a signal to prove his identity to the other party.
Both teams showed their blank paper flags, and they seemed to be relieved, put away the white paper flags, and did not talk nonsense, the two teams merged into one, and continued to trot forward.
The two really didn't know why they ran so far.
Suddenly, I saw a fork in the road on the left, and there was another group of figures, there were also more than a dozen people, both teams stopped, and saw one of them suddenly raise his arm, holding a white paper banner in his hand, and waved it in the air a few times, and the other team immediately raised a white paper flag and waved it in the air.
There is no moon in the cold night, and the sky and the earth are dark, as if swallowed by darkness.
The two followed for another half an hour, and on the way, they actually saw two groups of people converging together, if it weren't for the fact that these people didn't have weapons on them, otherwise Qin Xiao would even suspect that they were going to gather a crowd to rebel.
In the middle of the night, with the white paper banner as a signal, the gloomy atmosphere is very weird.
"It's from another village, and they're going to the same place." Yuwen Chengchao lowered his voice and said, "These guys are sneaky, there must be nothing good." ”
The two guards were still guarding the entrance, but they hid behind the rocks at the entrance, and if they didn't get closer, they couldn't find that there were people in ambush behind the stones.
"Is it a detour or just a pass?" Yuwen Chengchao looked at Qin Xiao.
Suddenly there was a mountain range in front of him, the weather was forested, the mountain ridge was winding and undulating, and in the night, there was a fog floating, hazy and weird, with a little sadness.
Dozens of people arrived at a mountain pass into the mountain, the two squatted in the dry grass and looked at the past, only to see that there were guards on the entrance path, and vaguely saw that the two guards were wearing black robes, with hoods on their heads, and the group of villagers seemed to say something, and then the villagers rushed in, and after a while, dozens of people entered it, and there was no trace.
When he was about to get close to the entrance, he heard a cold voice coming from behind the stone: "The Nine Heavenly Queen Mother descends to the earth!" ”
The sound was heard, but no one came from behind the stone.
Qin Xiao smiled: "It's all at their doorstep, we don't have the habit of going through the back door." ”
Yuwen Cheng smiled at him, and the two of them stood up from the dry grass, but walked directly towards the entrance.
"The Queen Mother is .....!" Yuwen Chengchao muttered, and the black-robed man behind the stone obviously knew that the situation was wrong, and one of them said sharply: "Who is it?" He had already stood up, and at this moment, Yuwen Chengchao and Qin Xiao had already rushed up like two cheetahs.
Yuwen Chengchao's body is extremely fast, and when he says it, before the person can see himself clearly, one palm has been cut between the person's throat, the person's voice stopped abruptly, Yuwen Chengchao is afraid that he is not dead, and the other hand has been clenched into a fist, and he smashed it the top of the person's head.
The two of them knew immediately that this was a code.
It's just that there is no head and no brain, the two really don't know how to answer the next sentence, they give each other a look, and they separate left and right, and they have already known the hiding place of the two black-robed people before, and quickly approached the past.
Qin Xiao's speed was much faster than that of Zhiyu Wen Chengchao, and when the stone hit that person's mouth, he had already rushed in front of that person, and the fish intestine thorn stabbed out coldly and ruthlessly, directly stabbing into the throat of the black-robed man, and instantly stabbed the black-robed man to death.
The two corpses fell limply.
Yuwen Cheng shot quickly towards this side, and the black-robed man on the other side also showed his figure, and saw a figure rushing towards him, this person reacted very quickly, kicked his feet, opened his back, and was about to shout when he opened his mouth, but Qin Xiao was already prepared, with a flick of his right index finger, a stone shot over like a meteor, it was the beauty star fingering technique taught by the little aunt, the person's voice had not yet come out of his mouth, and the small stone had already entered his mouth and blocked
He sighed.
The black robe can cover the whole body, the hood is on, there are two holes in the eyes, just two eyes are exposed, this robe has a strange shape, wearing this body to walk in the night, being seen, it really makes people think it is a wandering ghost.
The two dragged the body to a hidden place again, and were about to enter the mountain, but they saw another group of people coming at the bottom of the mountain, knowing that they were villagers from other villages.
Qin Xiao whispered to Yuwen Chengchao: "Eldest son, change into their clothes." ”
The two dragged the two corpses into the forest, pulled out their clothes, and quickly changed them.
Yuwen Chengchao and Qin Xiao only knew at this time that the next sentence was "The Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon Lives the Living", the two of the Nine Heavenly Queen Mother knew, but what kind of sacredness this Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon was, I really had never heard of it.
Yuwen Chengchao waved his hand, and the villagers immediately followed the path towards the mountain.
The two returned to the entrance, and when the villagers approached, Yuwen Chengchao said in a deep voice: "The Nine Heavenly Queen Mother has descended to the earth!" ”
After the words were spoken, an elderly villager stepped forward and said extremely respectfully: "The Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon spends her life!" The villagers behind him also groveled, looking in awe.
Yuwen Chengchao sneered: "I want to see if there is a queen mother and a bullshit saint in it." Seeing that the group of villagers had not gone far, the two quickly followed.
These villagers were very familiar with the road, and the road in the mountains twisted and winded, and after walking for a while, they came to a valley.
"What is the Bright Moon Holy Maiden? Why haven't I heard of it? Yuwen Chengchao said suspiciously: "Qin Xiao, have you heard of it?" ”
"The eldest prince has never heard of it, where have I heard of it." Qin Xiao said in a low voice: "But these people are definitely not the first time to come here, they can match the code, which means that they come here often." He glanced at the dark mountains and said in a low voice, "If my guess is correct, there should be someone here who is pretending to be a ghost and fooling the people." ”
On the edge of each fire-burning iron pot, a black-robed man stood on each side, carrying his hands behind his back, motionless, like a stone carving.
At this time, the night was cold, the cold wind hit people, and after walking in the valley for a while, I saw from a distance that there was a stone platform appearing, the stone platform was extremely high, and an iron pot was erected at each of the four corners, and the fire in the iron pot was raging, and the stone platform was as bright as day.
This valley is quite spacious, and when you look up from the valley, you can only see the surrounding mountain peaks rising and undulating, which makes people feel like they are in a cage.
What made Qin Xiao gasp was that under the stone platform, there were densely kneeling people in rags, not to mention three or four hundred people, all of whom were silent, kneeling on the ground, with their hands folded, looking extremely pious.
The villagers who came at the end obviously knew where they should go, and when they reached the few empty spaces left on the side, they all knelt down, and like everyone else, they all folded their hands and faced the stone platform, all with respectful expressions.
Naturally, the two of them would not go over together, quietly to the side of the place where no one noticed, and their four eyes were looking at the stone platform, knowing that there must be a good show here.
