"The girl was tied up in the temple in a red wedding dress, and when the sacrificial ceremony was held, Zhang Lei suddenly broke in, and cried with a wound and begged the witch to let the girl go, and he was willing to exchange his life for it."

Hearing this, I understood why Liang Yue'er kept looking for Zhang Lei, a man who was willing to save her with his life, even if he died, he would never forget it, no matter how much she hated Zhang Lei before, she really fell in love with him at that moment.

The priestess's target has always been Liang Yue'er? It stands to reason that it is the priestess of the ancient village, and if she wants to sacrifice, she should also use the people of the ancient village to sacrifice, why is it a girl who has been abducted and trafficked?

"What happened after that?" I asked.

"After the girl died, Zhang Lei also died, but a strange thing happened, obviously the sacrifice has been completed, but the idol enshrined in the temple is still angry, it cursed the ancient village, causing the ancient village to be immortal and immortal, repeating that day forever."

Xu Hong sighed when he said this, shook his head a little helplessly and said: "On the third day after the girl's death, the ancient village where the nightmare came, an unknown force resurrected her, and she was full of resentment and devoured the entire ancient village, the priestess was very afraid, and the last time I saw her was in the temple, and then I fell into a deep sleep, and when I woke up again, I couldn't leave the temple. ”

"That's all I know, I'll tell you."

Is that all there is to know about the ancient village? That is, the danger we encounter is caused by the fact that the idol in the temple has cursed the whole village, and the ghosts haunt at night, and it is only safe during the day.

Through Xu Hong's words, I also learned that he couldn't get out here for more than 30 years, so didn't we go from one dead end to another?

"But there's a place where there's a way out, and I've tried before, and I've never dared to go near that place since I met the demons."

Is there a way out? I looked at Xu Hong happily and said, "That's great, we must go out from here, please show us the way." ”

Xu Hong glanced at a few of us and hesitated, and was silent for a while before nodding and saying, "Okay, I can take you over, but I'm afraid that even if we get there, we may meet the priestess, who is even more difficult to deal with than the evil ghost." ”

It was only then that I remembered something, and asked, "We found a fragment of your diary in the village, which is written about you, and did you take that temple relic?" ”

Hearing my question, Xu Hong's eyes were a little evasive, and he didn't answer my words, it seems that my previous guess was correct, the bead of the old Zhang Tou's family in his hand should be a holy relic in the temple, and the person who abducted and sold Liang Yue'er should be sent by the priestess for the holy relic.

I didn't force him to tell him where the beads came from, and if he annoyed him, there would be no one to take us on the way out, so I pretended not to care, and said, "Let's go out first, for it will be dawn in a while, and we will be safer to go out." ”

"Okay." After Xu Hong finished speaking, he stood up, turned around and walked in the direction of the door.

I didn't follow, I slowed down and came to Atcha's side and said in a low voice: "There is a problem with this Xu Hong, we must be careful." ”

"Hmm." Atsa nodded.

A few of us left the temple behind Xu Hong, and when we went out, it was already dawn, and the ghosts who had been wandering in the ancient village had also disappeared. Heading west, through a wooded field, we came across a cliff.

The cliff was very desolate, surrounded by withered yellow weeds and trees, and it was a decadent scene at a glance, different from the green path we saw when we walked by.

Lei Yun muttered to himself: "This place looks really weird, just like Xu Hong said, it is really a cursed village, and there is no anger in sight." ”

Xu Hong walked in front of him, and without looking back, he pushed away the weeds in front of him and said: "The front is the place where the ancient village was sacrificed before, and after the failure of that sacrifice, the idol cursed the entire ancient village in anger, and even this place could not be spared. ”

"Cursed? What kind of curse is it? "I've heard Xu Hong say a few times about the god damning the village, and I don't know what the curse he is talking about.

"Immortal and immortal." Xu Hong paused for a moment and continued to walk forward, "After the ancient village was engulfed by fire, all the people died, but none of them died, the entire ancient village will be shrouded in a blood moon after nightfall, and the dead will crawl out from the ground to grab the living and devour them until the world is destroyed." ”

"And this was originally the sacrifice of the ancient village, and the resentment is heavier than the ancient village, and the ghosts like to wander in this place after nightfall, how can there be living creatures that can grow in a place where the yin and resentment are so strong."

I nodded silently in agreement, as long as we find a way out after tonight, we won't encounter evil spirits again.

I don't know how long I walked, but seeing that the sky was about to get dark, Xu Hong, who was walking in front, suddenly shouted: "Found it, it's here, it's the place in front." ”

A few of us hurriedly followed, and found a very hidden path behind a dead plant.

"At the front." Xu Hong walked in first, and a few of us followed.

The four of us followed without saying a word, all the way up this eerie path, the surrounding plants were very terrifying, their shape was completely different from the plants, but like ghost claws, fortunately they came here during the day, if it was night, even if they were not aggressive, we would be scared half to death.

After walking for a while, my legs have begun to tremble, and then I see that other people are also holding on, and I have not stopped walking all the way, and my legs have long been weak, and they are all fighting to hold on.

"Here we are." Xu Hong stopped panting and gasped.

Looking in the direction that Xu Hong pointed out, a fork in the road winded upward, and the road in front was covered by dry grass.

"That's just a trick to keep people from approaching the place of sacrifice." Xu Hong walked over after a pause, tore the withered grass on it, and soon a hole appeared in front of us.

A few of us hurriedly walked over to help, and it took a long time to clear the dead grass, and a large hole was revealed.

Xu Hong glanced at us and said, "This is the entrance of the sacrifice, it is very dangerous inside, do you really want to go in?" ”

I nodded, "This is the only way we can get out, we have to go in, and I won't force it if you don't want to go in." ”

Xu Hong smiled: "It's all in this situation, how can I not go in, what's more, I've been trapped here for more than 30 years, and I still want to see the outside world." ”
