Chapter 224: Waiting for Death

After a short conversation with Chen Wenxing, Xu Lang didn't say anything anymore, and the nameless man beside him supported him and walked forward quickly.

The people of Peach Blossom Village did not act too roughly, but the dozen or so black-robed people present surrounded the executors tightly, leaving no chance to escape.

Of course, under Xu Lang's prior instructions, everyone knew that this trip was a must.

So there is no need for the people of Peach Blossom Village to be tough, they will go with it.

Nameless held Xu Lang's arm, and from time to time looked at a black-robed man beside him.

This person, ever since he appeared, has been looking at the executors and seems to be very interested in them.

As Nameless observed, the eyes that were only exposed to the outside looked a little familiar, but he was sure that he had never seen him in his life.

But that sense of familiarity became stronger and stronger, especially the way the man looked at him, revealing many subtle emotions, which made Nameless very uncomfortable.

Nameless frowned, observing as he walked, and finally the man turned around and looked at Nameless, and Nameless seemed to see a smile in his eyes.......

It was also at this glance that the nameless heart suddenly roared, this person turned out to be Chen Huanxi, who he had carried the coffin for before!

Maybe it was the change in Nameless's face that made the man understand something.

I saw the black-robed man, slowly stretching out his dry palm, taking off the mask on his face, a sharp-beaked monkey cheek, full of old age, but his eyes were bright, and the face of an old man full of spirit suddenly appeared.

After Nameless glanced at it, he secretly said in his heart that it was indeed him.

This black-robed man is the protagonist of the funeral, the deceased Chen Huanxi!

But now that the matter is over, Nameless has also understood the situation at that time, Chen Huanxi was only on the verge of death due to the power of the curse, but he did not die.

After the nameless coffin was carried and John dripped blood, Chen Huanxi's "medicine to get rid of the disease" regained his vitality.

Chen Huanxi looked at the nameless appearance, as if he was in an extremely happy mood, his voice was hoarse but full of confidence, and he said with some sarcasm: "I can participate in the sacrifice today with a sound body, and I would like to thank you for it." ”

Nameless glanced at him with a faint look, ignoring the meaning of his words.

On the contrary, it was the conversation here that made Huang Hui, John and the others in front of them turn around with some doubts, and they happened to meet Chen Huanxi's face!

John understood the ins and outs of the matter, except for some secret hatred, he didn't have too many expressions, but Huang Hui didn't figure out the whole thing until now, and when he saw Chen Huanxi "coming back from the dead", he thought he was alive and ghostly, and he was a little panicked.

After glancing at it, he hurriedly retracted his head, grabbed Gu Chunxia's arm tightly, and didn't dare to look around anymore.

And all this happened to make one of the dozen or so black-robed people present look at it.

Especially when he peeked at Nameless and Xu Lang, and when he saw Chen Huanxi again, he was not surprised at all, but felt that things should be like this, which made him wonder in his heart.

"Could it be that my conjecture was the opposite of the truth?"

The man was on the edge of the black-robed man, his movements were not seen by anyone, and he was extremely meticulously concealed, only to see that he lifted his sleeve slightly, and a metal watch was exposed, which showed that the time had come to 11:45 p.m. on May 13.

There are only 15 minutes left until the zero o'clock when the festival begins!

He was slightly behind because of his thinking, and the black-robed man in Peach Blossom Village in front of him turned his head a little strangely, but the man quickly lowered his sleeves with his hands and feet, without arousing suspicion, and continued to follow the team quickly.

......

Xu Lang couldn't see exactly where they had come, but judging from the time they walked, they should have walked for about twenty minutes at this time.

It stands to reason that the tomb mountain should have arrived a long time ago, but the rest of the people have no intention of stopping.

Nameless looked at Xu Lang with some strange movements, glanced at the surrounding environment, and whispered in Xu Lang's ear: "We just passed by the grave that was dug before, the grave has been re-dug up, and the scarecrow inside is gone, it should be taken back by the people of Peach Blossom Village."

Now we have crossed the graveyard and are beginning to head deeper into the grave mountain, where perhaps this is the place of sacrifice! ”

Xu Lang nodded when he heard this, it was good if the scarecrow in the grave was recovered, after all, if they wanted to complete the task, they still had to bury the original scarecrow, which would also save time.

"When you arrive, estimate the distance between the sacrificial site and our grave and the time it will take, so that you know in your heart."

Nameless heard Xu Lang's words, nodded secretly without words, and could be regarded as a response.

Time passed like this, minute by minute, the road began to be more difficult to walk, it seemed that no one had set foot here for many years, and it began to be rugged, Xu Lang almost planted several heels.

Everyone present was also extremely serious and formal, no longer whispering, and everyone was particularly nervous when the sacrifice began.

And the man hidden in the black-robed team, his face was so nervous that he had begun to twitch a little, if it weren't for the black cloth covering his face, everyone could see the strangeness in his heart.

He never thought that one day, as an ordinary person, he would step into layers of crises and a desperate situation on the front line of life and death!

Looking at Xu Lang's tall and confident back in front of him, he silently thought in his heart that the gap between people and people was so big.

And at this moment, everyone stopped in unison.

Nameless looked up, and the moonlight sprinkled like water on a strange building, completely exposing the place of worship.

They were now on the back of a cliff, and in front of them was a stone staircase that was neither long nor short, and above the stone staircase, on a high and flat ground, there was a house that resembled an ancient temple.

It is said to be a temple, but it has been eroded with the years, it has long been torn apart, on the verge of collapse, just a wooden shelf, and there is no statue of God and Buddha in it, and it looks empty all around.

On that platform, there were many familiar faces, the village chief, Uncle Chen, Chen Lingyun, and Linggu on a four-wheeled bicycle were closing their eyes and waiting for the approach of zero o'clock.

On the platform, there was a long straw mat, on which were placed six dark and gloomy coffins, the lids of which were open, as if waiting for the deceased to lie down.

Obviously, these six coffins were prepared for the five executors plus Chen Wenxing.

However, the scarecrow belonging to the executor was nowhere to be seen.

Gu Chunxia and Huang Hui in front of them had the weakest ability to bear, and at this time, looking at the coffin that had been prepared for them in front of them, they couldn't help but feel weak and almost fell to the ground.

John was also pale, his teeth trembled, only Nameless and Xu Lang's faces were as usual, and they were not too panicked.

The black-robed man beside Gu Chunxia suddenly stretched out his hand and pushed her body, which directly frightened her into exclaiming.

"Get on stage!"

Gu Chunxia glanced back at Nameless and Xu Lang as if asking for help, but all that responded to her was endless silence and cold staring.

She clenched her fists and gritted her teeth a few times, but when she looked at the coffin above with her eyes twinkling, her courage was lifted and all was gone, and only endless fear remained!

Unexpectedly, he pushed the black-robed man beside him away, and fled to the side of the grave mountain.

Xu Lang tilted his ears slightly, listening to everything that was happening nearby, while Nameless was watching Gu Chunxia's movements, without any expression on his face.

And Gu Chunxia just ran out, barely two steps, and was grabbed by the black-robed man by the hair and dragged back.

"Don't! Don't kill me! Please, don't kill me! ”

The black-robed man didn't care about Gu Chunxia's crying, her struggling strength was nothing under that person's hands, dragging her hair and began to drag her up the stone steps, the sound of the collision of flesh and blood with the cold steps, and Gu Chunxia's wail made the hearts of everyone present feel cold.

At this time, the rest of the black-robed people also took out long knives from their arms, put them on the neck of the executor, and forcibly coerced everyone to go to the sacrifice.

Huang Hui and John looked at Gu Chunxia's fate, swallowed their saliva, hid the fear in their eyes, didn't dare to struggle anymore, and began to walk towards the stone steps step by step.

And Xu Lang listened to everything that happened before, and the corners of his mouth showed a slight smile.

In his opinion, the realization of Gu Chunxia and others is like the performance of normal people before they die, and their troubles can just dispel the suspicions of Linggu and others and pave the way for the next plan.

Nameless and Xu Lang also went up the cliff in turn, and what caught their eyes was an altar, a large number of yellow paper ingots and paper figures were quietly placed on the ground, and there were about thirty people standing around.

This makes the cliff, which is not too big, seem a little crowded.

And Nameless and the other five executors, plus Chen Wenxing, who had a longing on his face, came to the vicinity of the straw mat together, and Nameless leaned over and looked at the coffin.

Suddenly, he found a scarecrow lying in the center of each coffin.

It's just that in Chen Wenxing's coffin, the size of the scarecrow is about the same as his height, and it is lifelike, and in the coffin of the executor, the scarecrow the size of a palm is also lying quietly in the center of the coffin.

Nameless was secretly happy in his heart, but there was no change on his face, and he pinched Xu Lang's arm without leaving a trace.

Xu Lang immediately instructed, bowed slightly towards the nameless, and responded appropriately.

Several people stood in front of their own coffins, but their emotions at this time were completely different.

Gu Chunxia still didn't give up struggling, she was already tied up with ropes at this time, and her mouth was gagged to stop her from crying, but she still stood in place and kept kicking and beating the coffin.

Huang Hui and John were in a similar situation, they were both pale and trembling, death came so quickly, even if they understood that Xu Lang and the others had a plan, they still couldn't resist the fear in their hearts.

Only Xu Lang and Nameless showed a little calm, but after Xu Lang's prompting, they still pretended to have a desperate expression.

And Chen Wenxing, who was on the very edge, was completely opposite to the performance of the executors, he looked at Linggu with a fanatical face, and his mouth was like a crazy man, and it seemed that he wanted to kneel on the ground and wait for death immediately.

The black-robed man hidden at the edge of the cliff, his eyes flickered, and if he could see through his outfit, his legs under the black robe trembled slightly.

This was the urgency and panic before the great war, and he peeked under the cliff without leaving a trace, as if his tricks and methods were hidden there.

But at this moment, a crisp copper bell sounded throughout the deep mountains, and the faint resonance echoed everywhere, breaking the silence of the night, and Uncle Chen was still dressed in the dark night, holding the copper bell in one hand, while slowly approaching the altar.

Xu Lang listened to this sound, and his heart sank, which means that zero o'clock has arrived, and the sacrifice has begun!
