"No!" a female voice came from behind the screen in the room, sounding about Cuicui's age and speaking Chinese, "I can't agree to your terms." ”

"Why!" Wood didn't understand, "Didn't you say that only those with dragon teeth could enter the forbidden land?

"There is only one way, and the holy place is the only way to pass, and if outsiders enter the holy place, they will violate the ancestral teachings and will be punished. The priestess said coldly.

"If you have dragon teeth, you have to be punished?" Mu asked Cuicui in a low voice, what kind of punishment, she said that it was to use a kind of insect raised in Miao Village to sting people, after being bitten, the whole body of the person will be in unbearable pain, and some people will even be delirious, this kind of punishment is called Gu punishment, and the priest is the most powerful person in the village, it should be the priest himself to inflict the punishment.

"Won't you die?" asked Wood again.

"No, it's better to live than to die. ”

"Then I'm relieved, huh?" said to the priest behind the screen, "and you must keep your promises. I didn't expect to be punished for helping you find holy relics, so can't you be accommodating?"

"No, you can't. The priest said coldly.

"It's just a bite from the little bug, let's go. "Wood disdainful.

"I don't know how thick the sky is, no one can stand my Gu. The priest said disdainfully.

"Let's see, let's go to the execution ground. "The wood started to shake a little, and I thought it wouldn't really be that powerful.

"Go to the Holy Land. The priestess finally came out from behind the screen, it was a young woman, she was different from the other women she had seen in Miao Village, she did not wear silver combs and silver combs, silver headdresses, bracelets and earrings, but just a simple bun with a hairpin on it, and a copper bell tied to the hairpin, the style was really different from that of the Miao people.

"Beauty, no makeup?" said whatever wood came to mind.

"Don't talk nonsense, if you provoke the priest, you don't even know how to die. Cuicui whispered.

As the priestess and the three You and the others walked out of the village, they soon arrived at a hill in the southwest of Miao Village, which was where the holy place was located. The shrine is surrounded by a lacquer tree, known locally as the Tickle Tree, which causes severe rashes and festering skin if the animals touch it, and if you want to pass through the forest, you can't go through it unless you set it on fire.

There is only one entrance to the holy place, which is built of stone, and it is entered through an archway, more than twenty meters long, through the tickling woods. It was dark early in the mountains, and all the Miao people had a torch in their hands. After passing the natural barrier of the tickle woods, the space in front of me suddenly opened up, and through the light of the fire, it was clear that this was a sacrificial place, with a large tiered altar and a small altar on each side. There were many sacrifices on the altar, including dead cattle and sheep, a lot of flies, and some dry bones on the ground around it, and wood covering their mouths, holding back the nausea.

It can be regarded as a difficult walk through the altar part, the flies, the stinking corpses, and the dark light in the forest make people think of it, and the wood thinks of Sadako. Then there is the cemetery of the Miao people, and strangely, many of the tombs do not even have tombstone epitaphs, probably buried during the war or plague, and none of them look like new graves.

"This is the old cemetery of Umkoo Miao Village. The priestess's voice was still cold, and it gave me goosebumps in this environment.

Mu saw that Cuicui had put three strange incense sticks on a grave in the back, emitting purple smoke, and later asked her, and she said that it was her grandmother, and the incense was the requiem incense of the Miao people.

It's Gu magic again, it's requiem incense again, Mu Tou thought to himself, what other ghosts are there in this Miao Village? I have seen Lao Wang's bronze lamp and the green haired monster of the grassland before, and Mu has not reacted so much to these surreal things.

Cuicui put on the incense and put a bouquet of wildflowers in front of the grave, "Let's go, I'm just stopping by to see grandma, on weekdays, the Miao people only have one chance to disturb the old cemetery once a year." Grandma died in the field, and it was Elder You who sent a corpse chaser to send her back, and Grandma was the last priest, so she had to be buried in the old cemetery. ”

Mu has heard that in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, there was a story of the People's Liberation Army witnessing the corpse in Xiangxi, the corpse chaser only drove the corpse at night, and took a team of dead corpses over the mountains and mountains, and the corpses jumped like zombies in the movie. He had also heard that Sheng Miao would use Gu techniques, Gu techniques were generally passed down from generation to generation, and the most powerful Gu techniques were respected as priests, Mu asked Cuicui, "What are the current priests and your grandmother?"

"Granddaughter, she's my twin sister. Cuicui said mischievously.

"Ah?!" Mu didn't see that such a person with a very different personality was actually a sister, and he didn't think about it in that direction, but if he looked closely, he was really a little similar, and they were really different from Xiao Hu and Xiao Liu's twins.

"I won't tell you, my sister is not happy if I talk too much. There were outsiders, and she wouldn't let me call her sister. Cuicui seemed to be quite aggrieved and pouted. This is the second expression seen on Cuicui's face besides the smiling face, and her sister is an iceman, always with a stinky face. "It's almost there. ”

The cemetery suddenly shrunk because it was funnel-shaped, with a stone wall at the end, and there was a "line of heaven" at the mouth of the funnel, and a stone tablet was erected on the right side with the words "Black Dragon Gorge" written on it.

"This is the forbidden land. The priest's voice was as cold as the chill seeping from the canyon.
