Yan Yang watched the figure quickly leave her sight, and after a while she was sure that the monster would not come back, she turned her head and saw the ambiguous posture of Emperor Chu pressing on her, supporting the ground with one hand.

Yan Yang pushed Chu Huang, who was still looking at the window, his eyes were a little evasive, "Can you come down?" She asked timidly.

Emperor Chu felt that his chest was pushed by a pair of softness, and he turned his head slightly to notice Yan Yang's crimson face under him, as well as his ambiguous posture, and got up from the ground silently without saying a word. Seeing Emperor Chu's demeanor at ease, Yan Yang felt that he was a little petty because of his blushing posture just now, maybe Emperor Chu was in a hurry to make an ambiguous posture.

Chu Huang looked at the direction in which the monster was leaving, and then quietly approached the window, the moonlight outside was just right, but the deserted house behind was covered with a cold light under the moonlight, which looked a little weird. Most of the villagers live close to the village, so how can there be so many abandoned houses here? And the white shadow, which he was sure was what he had seen on the eaves that day, what was it? What exactly does this village have to do with it?

Suddenly, there was a sound of a rope being pulled at the door, Yan Yang had just seen the appearance of the monster, so now when he heard a sound outside, he subconsciously hugged Chu Huang's hand, Chu Huang looked at Yan Yang, who had been panicking behind him, and silently asked her to hide behind her, and slowly approached the door.

Yan Yang listened to the footsteps getting closer and closer, and the look on his face became more and more frightened. Chu Huang leaned against the door and listened to the sound of footsteps that were getting closer and closer, stiffened his body and leaned forward slightly to make an attacking posture, while his upper body was tightly tied together by the ropes of the group of people and Yan Yang.

"Squeak" The door was slowly pushed open, and a shadow was reflected on the ground by the moonlight and was pulled for a long time. Emperor Chu stepped forward and knocked the figure to the ground, and the two kicked the person on the ground fiercely.

The boy on the ground was knocked to the ground and rolled over, then stood up, glanced at the two people, and said in a deep voice, "It's me." ”

"Left bank?" Yan Yang was shocked, how did he escape? Emperor Chu knew that the people who came were not those people, so he let down his vigilance.

"Well, run away." Left Bank glanced at Yan Yang and said, "Keep running ahead, don't look back, and don't hide in the woods." ”

"What's wrong?" Yan Yang looked at the little boy's face with a solemn expression, was slightly stunned, and asked.

"They're going to kill you two," Left Bank's eyes were complicated, "so run away, it'll be too late if you don't." ”

As he spoke, he untied the ropes on Yan Yang and Emperor Chu. Yan Yang had a lot of questions in his heart, why did that group of people kill the two of them? Isn't it just a peek at a sacrifice? What's the secret? And what exactly is that white shadow? The village seems to have a lot of secrets......

But time did not allow Yan Yang to think too much, and after the two were untied, the left bank ran in the direction of the entrance of the village with the two of them. As he ran, the left bank said, "You must go straight through the mountain, which is the closest way to Shonan Castle." And if you go back, don't come here, this place should not be disturbed by outsiders. ”

Yan Yang pursed her lips, she didn't say anything about this matter, there are so many weird things in this village, and Emperor Chu just glanced at the left bank and didn't say anything.

When the three of them were about to arrive at the gate of the village, suddenly a group of people surrounded the three of them tightly, Yan Yang and Chu Huang glanced at each other, and the left bank looked at the large number of people in front of them, and there was a feeling of being deceived in his heart, it turned out that everything he did tonight was under their surveillance, which was ironic.

A sound of footsteps sounded, and a circle of people around the three of them made way for a passage, and a dignified middle-aged man walked out, followed by several young men with torches. The man glanced at Yan Yang and Emperor Chu, and finally looked at the left bank, which was half a body shorter than Emperor Yan Yang and Chu Emperor.

"Kishi'er," he looked at his son with a sharp gaze, "come here." ”

Zuo An pursed his lips, still standing silently beside Yan Yang and Emperor Chu, the man looked a little unhappy when he saw that he didn't move, and said angrily: "An'er, do you really want to go against me?"

"Father, I'm saving you," Zuo An looked at the middle-aged man and persuaded, "Don't be wrong again and again." ”

The man's eyes were gloomy, and he was completely angry: "Do you know what you're talking about? ”

Left Bank said firmly: "I know! ”

The middle-aged man's face turned completely dark, and his eyes swept with a storm when he looked at the left bank: "Lock them all up in the dungeon, as for the two of them, ......" The man then looked at Yan Yang and Emperor Chu, and continued: "The day after tomorrow is used to sacrifice to adults." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, several men in the prime of life stepped forward and pressed the three of them towards the direction of the dungeon. The crowd gathered around them gradually dispersed, and only the village chief looked in the direction they left with a gloomy face.

……

In the dungeon, the three people were locked in the same cell, Yan Yang looked at the weeds on the ground and was silent for a long time before saying to the left bank: "Can you answer me some questions truthfully?" ”

Left Bank probably thought that she would ask such a question, thought for a moment and nodded, and replied, "Okay." ”

"Who is your lordship? Why do the houses become more desolate the more you go to the village, and why do the villagers live in groups at the head of the village? And what's that white shadow?" Yan Yang raised all his questions in one go, and looked at the left bank in confusion.

Left Bank was silent for a while, and then said, "Listen to my story." In this world, there have always been some hidden clans such as Medicine Valley, Poison Island, and some other families. My mother is from the Elam tribe. Twenty years ago, there was a war between Chu and Zhao, and the commander who led the troops was the famous iron-blooded general of Chu - He Xiao. When the state of Chu and the state of Zhao fought, the state of Chu won the war. When General He returned to the court, he fell into the trap of the enemy army and lost contact with his soldiers for a month. By the time they found the marshal, General He had turned into a monster who ate the dead, he only had reason during the day, and at night he would lose his human nature and look for corpses for food, and everyone didn't know what the general had gone through, only the adjutant general's wife...... She is a member of the Yilan tribe, and the Yilan tribe is a hermit family of medicine like Yaogu. She said that the general was hit by the Gu worm of the Poison Island, and this Gu worm could not come up with an antidote even if it was the sworn enemy of the Poison Island, and it could be said that there was no antidote in this world at all...... And the general will gradually lose his mind, and slowly he can't control himself during the day, and finally become a monster who only knows how to eat corpses. Although there is no antidote, there is indeed a way to inhibit the growth of Gu worms on his body...... That is to feed on the flesh and blood of the Yilan people, because the Yilan people have been taking medicinal baths since they were young, and their blood has its own medicinal properties, which can inhibit the Gu worms in his body, but cannot eradicate them. And the first one to be used as a sacrifice to General He was her...... Because she is from the Ilam tribe. She, like everyone else, didn't want to see General He become a monster...... And that she's my mother......"

Speaking of this, Yan Yang and Emperor Chu were silent for a long time, and Emperor Chu looked at the left bank even more complicatedly, he did have a little impression of that He Xiao, he also heard that there was a god of war general in Chu twenty years ago called He Xiao, and at that time someone reported that General He was missing in a battle, it turned out to be like this......

Zuo An didn't look at Yan Yang, and the Chu Emperor continued: "Although General He ate her, because the Gu worm is still in his body, he will still succumb to his instinct every night to find the corpse as food, and his subordinates see that the general has become like this, and they are unwilling to go back to the court to report their work, so they all stay in this deep mountain and accompany their god of war." Because General He's appetite gradually increased, they had to do the business of stealing corpses. General He lived alone in the back mountain, and at night he was no longer a human being, and often ran down the mountain, and sometimes children could occasionally see white shadows. As time passed, he began to lose control of the Gu worms, and he would lose control and harm those people, so the villagers gradually moved to the outskirts of the village. But he didn't know why he didn't run to the entrance of the village, so everyone began to relax. In order to keep the children of the village from carrying these things, their parents delivered food to the general in the name of sacrifice, that is, the stolen corpses. ”

"So, everything can be explained." Emperor Chu looked at the left bank, his eyes were obscure, "How could you know about this, if so, they should all hide it from you?" ”

A wry smile appeared on the face of the little boy on the left bank, "The first woman to sacrifice is from my mother's Yilan tribe, and the second woman to sacrifice is my brother, and this time it should be my turn......" After speaking, sadness appeared on his face, "Our Yilan men will not change when they reach a certain age, just like I am 24 years old now, and I only look about 10 years old." So I'm also an eyewitness to that incident......"

It's not going to grow up, and it's been the monster's reserve food for so many years...... Yan Yang looked at the young man who was far away from him and suddenly felt a little distressed, he was carrying so many things. But I didn't know how to comfort him.

"My father has long sent people outside to look for people from the Ylan tribe, trying to find someone to replace me. But how could the Yilan tribe be so easy to find after years of seclusion. My mother and my brother all died at the hands of that person, I want to hate him, but I am not qualified for him to save thousands of people in Chu and defend the country of Chu. Now he is also tormented by his own sins, every time he eats the corpse after the Gu worm attacks, he will want to commit suicide another day, and he can't die, that Gu worm exists to study immortality. He has suffered this pain for twenty years," said the Left Bank, smiling bitterly, "and every day I pass, I am one day closer to that day." My father didn't find any of the Elam people outside, and I didn't want him to find ...... This sin is not to be borne by innocent people, and now there is a week left before the day of the ten-year sacrifice, and it looks like we are all going to die together. ”

Emperor Chu glanced at the left bank, and his thin lips opened slightly: "Who wants to die with you?"

The left bank skimmed the Chu Emperor and did not speak, this was the first time they did not fight each other. Yan Yang didn't know what to say in this oppressive atmosphere, so he simply remained silent.

"Tomorrow, you can escape," Left-Bank closed his eyes and broke the silence.

Yan Yang moved her body slightly, curled up and hugged herself Hearing this, she silently rubbed her fingers, the probability of escaping was too low.

……

Late at night, Yan Yang and Chu Huang both fell asleep deeply, and the left bank opened his clear eyes and looked at Chu Huang and Yan Yang. In fact, he was also very curious about the origin of these two people, especially Emperor Chu's extraordinary bearing, he seemed to know that he was not an ordinary person, who was he? It was pitch black under the eyes of the left bank.
