Chapter 220: Split
Xu Lang held the scarecrow behind the nameless with one hand, helped him slightly, bent down a little, and kept his balance and moved forward slowly.
"You mean, after you entered the yard, those families were taking a nap?"
This made Xu Lang a little stunned, this kind of thing sounded very nonsensical.
Sacrifice is a ritual above all else in Peach Blossom Village, even as an ordinary villager, it should not be this style.
Nameless was also puzzled, and his tone was even more strange, "That's right, I was secretly checking the situation at that time, and the scarecrow was placed in the middle of the courtyard, but there was no movement in the house, and I didn't show up for the first time out of caution, but the longer I waited, I still didn't find a figure."
When I crept into the house, I saw that the two members of the family were lying on the kang and did not move, and my entry did not attract their attention.
I thought they were dead, but judging by the heaving of their chests, they were asleep, as was the case with the other family. ”
Xu Lang frowned when he heard this, this was too weird.
The scarecrow, which was regarded as a treasure, was placed in the courtyard like this, and the villagers had no defense, and they fell asleep in the house!
This feeling...... It's like someone guessed that Nameless was going to snatch the scarecrow and deliberately arranged it!
Xu Lang couldn't help but look around, saying that he was checking, but in fact, he pricked up his ears to listen to whether there was anything nearby.
This deliberate feeling was too strong, making Xu Lang faintly feel like he had fallen into a trap, as if a pair of eyes were always watching him, and his every move and every plan was under the control of that person.
Xu Lang was even more suspicious, and couldn't help but begin to doubt the authenticity of the scarecrow, and patted the thick scarecrow behind him with some uncertainty.
"Have you ever checked a scarecrow?"
Nameless immediately understood Xu Lang's thoughts, but still shook his head slightly, "While realizing that the situation was strange, I also suspected that I had been tricked, but after checking the scarecrow, I didn't find anything abnormal, this is just a few extremely ordinary scarecrows, and there is no mystery." ”
This made Xu Lang feel even more wrong, if this was really a ploy by the people of Peach Blossom Village, then when everything seemed normal, it was too abnormal!
This time, Xu Lang didn't feel that his suspicion was a bad thing, on the contrary, the more he reached the last moment, the more cautious he became.
Xu Lang's brows condensed into a pimple, but after all, he couldn't come up with a reason, and this feeling of being out of control made him a little like a thorn in his back.
And the inhuman scarecrow behind him made him feel that it was a hidden danger, but he had to carry it!
Xu Lang simply stopped thinking about it, since things had come to this point, he could only move forward, but a little abnormality was not enough for him to overturn the conjecture of the way to live.
This time, when they entered the tomb mountain, they did not take the old path, but changed to a more secluded path, where they could bypass the other main tombs and go straight to the location of the dug tomb.
Although the journey will be longer, it will be safer in Xu Lang's opinion.
After walking for about twenty minutes, the road ahead became smoother and smoother, and Xu Lang's pace became faster.
Not long after, Nameless's body stopped and whispered, "It's here!" ”
Xu Lang was in high spirits, it was impossible to say that he did not have the slightest change in emotions in his heart, this was the closest he was to completing the task.
Maybe this time it will be successful, and he will be able to survive the mission again, and this is his sixth mission!
Nameless took the lead in unloading the scarecrow behind him, and then came to Xu Lang's side and helped him place the scarecrow on the edge of the tomb.
Judging from Chen Huayu's words, in fact, there is nothing particular about "back mange", in fact, it is to carry a scarecrow on his back, come to the tomb, and bury it.
It's just that this ritual has been passed down to the present, and with the deliberate actions of the people of Peach Blossom Village, coupled with the blessing of supernatural powers, it has become more and more weird and cumbersome.
As soon as the scarecrow behind Xu Lang was released, he didn't know if it was an illusion or something, but he felt that the feeling of peeping behind him suddenly relaxed.
The whole person looks very relaxed!
John and Gu Chunxia also looked at the tomb in front of them with joy on their faces, and the four of them all gathered together.
But then Gu Chunxia was a little stunned, "What about Rong Chuan?" ”
Several people couldn't help but be a little stunned, and looked around the neighborhood, but there was no one in sight.
At this time, the time has come to half past one in the afternoon, and half an hour has passed since the previously agreed time, so it stands to reason that Rong Chuan should have arrived early!
Everyone present, only the road was as usual, as if they had already guessed.
In fact, when Xu Lang couldn't contact Rong Chuan, he already had a little bad premonition.
Especially when digging the grave, when he found out that the people of Peach Blossom Village were hiding under the grave mountain, he knew that it was impossible for Rong Chuan to swagger and bring Chen Wenxing or Chen Wenjin here.
Because once he comes here, he will be immediately discovered by the people of Peach Blossom Village.
"There's no need to look for it, even if Rong Chuan succeeds, if he brings one of the Chen family's sisters and brothers here, he will definitely be discovered by the people of Peach Blossom Village, so he has no chance of success."
At this point, Xu Lang even hoped that Rong Chuan would fail from the beginning, so as not to anger the people of Peach Blossom Village and cause their operations to be destroyed.
Gu Chunxia was a little anxious, "But no one is dripping blood, how can we complete the way of life?" ”
Nameless looked at Xu Lang's appearance, and didn't have any worries, if he had expected this a long time ago, then he should have said it early, Xu Lang only said this now, which means that he already has a way to deal with it.
And Xu Lang's next words did confirm his point of view.
"Our plan is to exchange blood for the four people present!"
As soon as Xu Lang's words came out, everyone was shocked.
John looked at the tombstone on the ground with their names engraved on it, and didn't quite understand, "In exchange for blood... Will it work? ”
Xu Lang is extremely confident, this way of dripping blood, since the nameless proposed, he has made many conjectures.
If you can have the blood of the Chen family's sisters and brothers, it will naturally be better, but if it doesn't work, there are exactly four of them here, and they can be completely self-sufficient!
After all, neither Chen Huayu nor Uncle Chen at the beginning said that they must be outsiders!
The people of Peach Blossom Village want outsiders to drip blood, and that's because the people inside them can't afford to drip blood!
Xu Lang told his conjecture to everyone, and several people glanced at each other after listening, and there was indeed a certain amount of truth.
Nameless nodded and said to everyone: "In this case, we don't need to wait for Rong Chuan, we will bury the scarecrow first." ”
There is no explicit requirement for this link, but Xu Lang and others still handle it carefully.
The nameless scarecrow buried Xu Lang, Xu Lang buried the nameless scarecrow, and John and Gu Chunxia were also buried interchangeably.
It didn't take long for everyone to finish the work at hand, and it was surprisingly smooth that nothing happened.
And the taboos that Uncle Chen said at the beginning, Xu Lang and others also abided by them, just in case.
Nameless stepped on the grave under his feet, tidied up the vicinity of the tomb, looked at the others, and finished it.
So he came to Xu Lang's side, "Can we drip blood?" ”
John and Gu Chunxia also looked at Xu Lang's face nervously, until Xu Lang nodded, the two of them were overjoyed, and they were about to take out a short knife and cut their fingers.
But at this moment, a sudden change occurred!
In the woods behind, there was a sudden loud noise, and suddenly a large number of crows flew out, their eyeballs bulging one by one, faintly as if they were bubbling with a fierce light, and flew directly in the direction of Xu Lang and the four of them.
John swore that he had never seen so many crows, almost overwhelmingly covering most of the already dim sunlight, and the black pressed one by one, and each made a terrifying sound like a baby's hiss.
As if he was crazy, he actually hit the tombstone directly!
One by one, blood spilled on the tombstones.
It was as if there was something on a tombstone that was attracting them to death, and the already weak wooden signs, where they could withstand such an impact, began to crack and show signs of loosening.
Xu Lang couldn't see clearly, but he could feel that the things in his ears that looked like feather arrows were frantically brushing around him, whistling and planting graves beside him!
Nameless took out a dagger from his waist and stood in front of the tombstone, swinging his knife from time to time to slash the crow to the ground with precision, "Don't let these beasts get close!" ”
And John and Gu Chunxia were even more direct, holding the tombstone as a whole, using their bodies to resist, and the back was full of holes that had been pecked by crows, and a little blood began to penetrate.
The two of them were taking advantage of this, turning around, leaning their backs against the tombstone, and shielding their fragile faces with their arms.
Xu Lang didn't know what to do, he couldn't see what was happening, only the whistling sound.
Rao is nameless and seemed a little in a hurry, a large number of crows seemed to be dying, and at this moment, the emptiness on Xu Lang's side gave the crows a chance.
I saw a crow grab the tombstone engraved with an unknown name with its beak, and tried to pull it up from the ground.
Xu Lang was blind, and there was no way to stop it, and when Nameless saw this, it was too late, and one after another the crows found a breakthrough like a relay and began to attack Xu Lang with all their might.
Xu Lang was accidentally hit in the chest by a crow and fell on his back.
Finally, under Nameless' slightly impatient eyes, the crow finally uprooted the tombstone and flew into the air in a swirl.
The crow flock seemed to have a heart, and when they saw a crow take the tombstone, they stopped attacking like crazy, and began to protect the crow and fly away.
Nameless gritted his teeth, looked at the tombstone that belonged to Xu Lang behind him, his face froze, and he stepped directly on the wooden roof, stepping on his tombstone into the grave!
With a knife in his backhand, he will chase after the crow swarm and try to take back the tombstone with a single blow of the flying knife!
At this time, Xu Lang finally realized the complexity of the situation, and listening to the sound of Nameless running away, his heart was shocked, and an ominous premonition suddenly appeared.
Suddenly in the direction of Nameless's departure, he shouted, "Nameless, come back quickly!" ”
But just as he finished saying this, a large number of footsteps suddenly came from around, and Xu Lang's heart sank, the people of Peach Blossom Village came!
Just as he was about to try to evacuate, he only felt a chill around his neck, and then a cold knife wind came, and a cold blade was close to his throat.
Xu Lang's complexion changed suddenly, and he didn't dare to move the slightest, because maybe his throat would be cut in the next second!
