Chapter 10: The Unexpected Plot
The alley burned with a stream of fire, and several innocent garbage cans were engulfed in flames, emitting a billowing stench.
The cycle of light and shadow, the evil wind. The dark shadow swallowed the light, and there was a grinding sound in the ears, and what was hidden in the corner under the dim light?
The flickering light refracted the shadows of two humanoids, twisting and elongating.
Footsteps sounded, and heavy wheezing drew closer and closer in the shifts of light and shadow.
Mu Yufei stood on the tuyere, and every shaking of the hem of his clothes made his eyes more resolute.
The cold light flashed from the blade of the Yanling knife. The tip of the knife sinks into the ground, and a ripple appears on the ground as it lands.
A thorny pine vine burst out of the ground, like a nimble python, writhing around each other's feet.
Like a hydrangea toss, the snake vine shook the poor fat man up, and was crossed in mid-air by a huge spike formed by two thorns.
A strong wind swept and a rain of blood fell. The scarlet air stunned another fat man who was isolated and helpless.
Mu Yufei stimulated the red flame in the knife, and the fire spread along the rattan, like a fiery snake engulfing the bandaged man.
The scorching smell and wailing, accompanied by the rain of blood falling loudly, at this time, Mu Yufei is like a killing god from hell!
Feeling the baptism of blood rain, Mu Yufei shook his arm and shook off the blood beads on the knife surface. Then the knife pointed forward, his eyes were sharp, and he had the momentum of blocking my death.
+1000 for a total of 1840
"It's really XXXX, this weapon is too XXXX." Excited, Mu Yufei actually spat out the words of a tiger and a wolf.
He held the goose feather knife in his arms and rubbed it back and forth, loving it like his own child.
Compared with the previous Thundering Fan and Staff Whip, the damage of this Yanling Knife was too high, so that Mu Yufei couldn't understand it at all.
Not only does it have high basic attack damage, but it also comes with fire burn and vine entanglement.
Although this time it was a surprise to hit Double Fat, but the strong control and high damage made them not even have a chance to transform.
Mu Yufei exclaimed, and the excitement in his heart could not be calmed for a long time, until a subtle voice came from afar, and he came back to his senses.
The green moss stone steps are slippery and impassable, and there is a stench of decay. Mu Yufei cautiously stepped down the stairs, and after a long time he saw a path.
The faint sound of prayer was faintly heard by the wind coming in the distance, and the air was filled with moisture and an indescribable smell.
The mist drifted away, as if it was deliberately obscuring the way ahead.
The path was lined with rows of houses, but the light of the fire in the cracks told Mu Yufei that the square should be at the back of the building.
The doors of the houses are mostly closed, and a lantern hangs in front of them.
Occasionally, when the door is slightly opened, whenever Mu Yu flies forward to say hello, he will be severely reprimanded by the other party.
What tonight is the night of the descent, do not interrupt the prayers of believers; Don't disturb Anna's sweet dreams; Lord Luna, who will bring light to us, and so on.
Some people even insulted Mu Yufei as a despicable foreigner, asking him how he escaped from Jinglian Lake?
"Scattered plot information?" Mu Yu slowed down, and what the villagers said gave him a clear message:
What kind of ritual are the villagers of the Sealed Coffin Village performing, preparing to summon the true god?
Mu Yufei smiled slightly, he felt that this was the foreshadowing of the game's plot.
Isn't his title a despicable foreigner? It seems that only by going to Jinglian Lake can we know some truths.
"I remember the game's promotional animation that mentions the moon god Ciel, the moon god?" Mu Yufei's eyes lit up, and the two fragments of information were combined by him.
"Now the sealed coffin village is still the scene of the sunset, and what I saw in the promotional animation is the blood moon in the sky, which shows that it is because of the sacrifice of the villagers that all the abnormalities will be caused."
"I'm such a genius, hehe."
Pastoral Fly is immersed in his own world, but he forgets that he has encountered monsters before, which means that strange things have happened before the blood moon.
The wooden door creaked and slowly opened, and there was still deep darkness behind the door.
"Excuse me, are you a brave man?" A timid voice came from behind the door, trembling faintly.
"Huh? Who's there? Mu Yufei hurriedly put away the exaggerated expression on his face and wiped the saliva from his mouth.
"I'm Hualien Feng, the son of the village chief, are you a brave man?" Whip-scarred hands reached out and pushed open the door, and a thin teenager in his twenties walked out tremblingly.
Hualien Feng had a blood-stained bandage on half of his face, his linen clothes were very dirty, and he was holding something tightly in his hand.
"Ahem, I am the brave man you are looking forward to, I will bring light!" Mu Yufei's face seemed to have a glow, and he bent down like a virgin to look at Hualien Feng's face.
Unexpectedly, after the young man in front of him heard Mu Yufei's answer, he knelt down with a plop.
"Please, Lord Brave, please save my father and save the village."
Hualien Feng grabbed Mu Yufei's trouser leg tightly, his bare arm was rubbed with blood, and tears were mixed with bright red, which made Mu Yufei's heart tighten.
"Hurry up, hurry up. Are your wounds alright? I have a potion, can you try it? Mu Yufei hurriedly helped Hualien Feng up and let him rest on himself for a while.
Hualien Feng glanced at Mu Yufei gratefully, and the wound on his hand healed quickly, and his face gradually became rosy.
"Do you know of any safer places around here?" Mu Yufei asked.
Hualien Feng seemed to be very weak, he didn't speak, just stretched out his finger and pointed in the direction he had just come out.
It was dark inside, with the only dilapidated oil lamp shining on the dusty wooden table, and in the light of the fire it was faintly visible what was placed around it, what seemed to be a box or something.
Mu Yufei walked to the chair with Hualien Feng and cleaned the thin layer of ash on it with his sleeve.
"Hurry up and sit down, you said you are the son of the village chief, how can you be like this?" Mu Yufei looked at the half-spoiled bread on the table and asked puzzled.
"Iā" Hualien Feng lowered his head, he bit his lip and was silent.
Mu Yufei knew that there must be something hidden in this, so he didn't force Hualien Feng to say it immediately, but looked around in the faint light.
The house is not big, only about 200 square meters.
After looking carefully through the light, Mu Yufei realized that the so-called boxes around him were all wooden coffins!
There was also a bandaged corpse at Mu Yufei's feet, long gone.
Being in the middle of a pile of coffins, Mu Yufei suddenly felt a chill behind him, and an inexplicable panic rose in his heart.
"Hualien Feng usually lives here?" In an open coffin, Mu Yufei saw some bedding, and doubts and pity were intertwined in his heart.
"As you know, my father, Hua Jiuyan, is the village chief of Fengqi Village, and we have all been living a peaceful but happy life. But it wasn't until a traveler came that everything changed..."
The teardrops on Hualien Feng's cheeks folded into a scene in the firelight.
In the first tears that slipped, a traveler in a cloak came to the north gate of the Sealed Coffin Village, holding a roll of parchment in his hand.
"Hello, where is the village chief? I'm looking for him urgently. The traveler stopped one of the villagers, who enthusiastically told him that he could see the village chief's residence through the assembly square in front of him.
In the village chief's residence, Hua Jiuyan is teaching his son Hualien Feng how to cultivate new plants.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"Hello, is the village chief at home?"
Hua Jiuyan got up from his chair and walked to the door.
Although he is forty or fifty years old, Hua Jiuyan still looks strong and powerful, and the stubble on his face cannot hide his warmth and friendliness.
"I'm here, who is it?" Hua Jiuyan opened the door, and the traveler outside the door bent down with his left hand on his chest.
"Hello, village chief, I'm a passing traveler." The traveler paused, then handed the parchment scroll in his hand to Hua Jiuyan.
"By chance, I found something in the Sleepless Worm Tomb, and I specially brought it to ask you to help take a look."
"Sleepless Worm Grave? Parchment rolls? Come in! Come in! After hearing the words "Tomb of the Sleepless Worm", Hua Jiuyan hurriedly pulled the traveler into the house.
Then he turned to look at Hualien Feng and said, "Son, you go to the Moonlight Garden first to find Anna and tell her that those plants are almost ripe and ready to be used immediately." ā
Tick. Tears fell to the ground and shattered, and the image disappeared with it.
Hualien wiped the tears from her eyes and lay on the table.
The fire core in the oil lamp suddenly became irritable, and Mu Yufei seemed to hear the sound of wailing coming from it.
In the light of the fire inside the oil lamp, the assembly square of the sealed coffin village was reflected.
There were many people kneeling in the square with their hands tied behind their backs, and the villagers had hideous faces and whips in their hands.
"Father, father, please don't do this. These strangers are just passing by by accident, they shouldn't..."Hualien Feng was slapped a big mouth before he finished speaking.
"How dare you hinder Lord Luna? Oh my God, you must have been bewitched by the devil. Come on, drag him down for me! Hua Jiuyan called out to the servants on the side with an expressionless face.
He didn't care about the relationship between father and son, and asked two men wearing faceless masks to rudely drag Hualien Feng down and lock him in the funeral house.
The silver full moon in the sky cast a soft light, and the villagers knelt on the ground and kept worshipping.
Hua Jiuyan stared at the bonfire in the center of the square, and with a wave of his hand, the villagers threw the still living outsiders on the carriage and headed towards Jinglian Lake from the exit in the south of the village.
A gust of wind blew out the fire in the oil lamp, plunging the room into darkness.
"Shadow! Shadow! It's coming, it's coming! No! Don't! "Hualien Wind seems to have fallen into madness.
He kept scratching his head, and the bandages on Hualien Feng's face squirmed, as if something was inside.
With a bang, Hualien Wind smashed through the closed wooden door and rushed out.
"Where are you going? Come back! Mu Yufei hurriedly chased out, but how could he still see the shadow of Hualien Wind?
"Dare to love, this is the burial house in the village." Mu Yufei looked at the building behind him. "In this way, the assembly square should be just west of the funeral house."
"Hualien Wind, Hualien Wind, you are shoehorning the plot into me." Mu Yufei actually had some fears, just now when the bandages on Hualien Feng's face squirmed, he thought that something would suddenly stick out, and he would definitely not be able to avoid it at such a close distance.
Mu Yufei took out the newly brushed torch from the iron axe man and returned to the burial house.
Just now Hualien Feng was there, and he didn't have time to explore this room properly, but now, the pastoral snitch laughed: "It's time to demolish the house!" ā
I don't know how long later, the burial house was littered with coffin fragments, and Mu Yufei leaned against the wall, looking disappointed.
No! Nothing! There wasn't even a single body in the coffin!
Only half of the withered vines were found in one of the coffins. There are many scratches on the inside of the coffin, could it be that the corpses inside have been eaten by something?
