Wang Ling'er and I followed the middle-aged uncle into the crowd, and we saw a little girl about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a black face, tied hand and foot and locked in a cage made of wood.

"Patriarch, you say, should you take this crazy girl to sacrifice to the sky?" A tall, thin man in the crowd gestured to the crowd.

"It's this crazy girl, who doesn't abide by the rules in the village, and steals into the forbidden land twice, and the big guy says, should I use her to sacrifice to the sky?"

The old man, who was called the patriarch, sighed, walked to the wooden cage, and asked the little girl sharply: "Jin Ling, who did you say told you to go to the forbidden land?" ”

"Grandpa Musang, I promised him that I couldn't tell others."

The little girl seemed to have some intellectual problems, and was tied up in a wooden cage by everyone and still had a hippie smile on her face, humming a small tune.

"Patriarch, don't ask her anything, just light a fire and sacrifice to the sky!" The tall and thin man urged from the side.

The rest of the people casually chimed in, "That's right, she must no longer be tolerated for her misdeeds, otherwise the village will be in trouble sooner or later!" ”

I listened for a while, completely unaware of what they were talking about.

But listening to the tall and thin man say that the fire is sacrificed to the sky, I seem to understand a little.

They must have wanted to burn the little girl in the cage alive!

Jin Ling...... Get out of the way, I want to see the patriarch......"

I was about to say a few words when a woman pushed through the crowd and rushed in.

"Patriarch, let Jin Ling go, she doesn't understand anything, and she definitely didn't mean to go to the forbidden land." The woman knelt down at the patriarch and pleaded bitterly.

"Jin Ling's mother, it's not that you don't know the rules of our village, so let's ask Jin Ling, who told her to go to the forbidden land, if she is willing to say it, I may be able to punish her lightly!"

As he spoke, the patriarch lit a cigarette stick and gulped it down.

The woman nodded again and again, hurriedly got up and walked to the wooden cage, "Jin Ling, tell your mother quickly, who told you to go?" ”

"Speak up, ...... good"

The woman persuaded her for a long time before the little girl replied with a smile, "Grandma Liu asked me to go." ”

"You talk nonsense!"

The tall and thin man immediately said angrily, "Grandma Liu is deaf and dumb, how can she let you go to the forbidden land?" Patriarch, don't listen to her nonsense, implement the rules of the village! ”

"Wait a minute, you're going too far, she's just a little girl who doesn't understand anything!"

Wang Ling'er couldn't stand the fierce and ruthless attitude of the tall and thin man, and walked out of the crowd a few steps.

"Who, she?"

"Hey, look, there's another man, it seems to be someone from outside......"

The crowd was agitated at this time, and they hadn't paid attention to me and Wang Ling'er before, but now when they suddenly saw the two of us, everyone looked strange, and from time to time they exchanged their heads and pointed and pointed.

"Tetsusan, did you bring them in?"

The patriarch glanced at me and Wang Ling'er, put down the cigarette stick in his hand, and glared at the middle-aged uncle who brought us in and asked.

The middle-aged uncle didn't speak, just nodded.

"Look like you're coming from outside!"

The patriarch narrowed his eyes, then turned his head to the middle-aged uncle and said, "Tiesan, you take them to the temple first." Things in the stockade don't need outsiders to talk much! ”

"Hmph, is there any royal law?" Wang Ling'er was very unconvinced, and said angrily to the patriarch.

"Don't talk about it, do you want to trouble me?" The middle-aged uncle pulled me and Wang Ling'er out of the crowd.

"I ask you, are you still on that desert island without me?"

Wang Ling'er and I nodded.

"Well, if you still know a little gratitude, don't say it anymore."

"It's okay if you don't say it."

Wang Ling'er choked her lips and said, "Tell them to let go of that little girl!" ”

I said, "Yes, or we'll get her out!" ”

"I beg you not to make trouble, this is a matter in the village, they won't do anything to Jin Ling!"

The middle-aged uncle said that the sacrifice to heaven mentioned here is nothing more than tying people to wooden stakes, and after an hour or two, they will naturally let go, and no one will die.

I said to myself, you have spoken a human word.

From the beginning to the inexplicable place he entered, he only said a few words in total, and it was still insignificant.

Wang Ling'er and I heard him say this, so we didn't plan to continue to make trouble.

The middle-aged uncle took us to a dilapidated temple and told me to stay honest with Wang Ling'er and not to go out and run around.

I asked him, "What the hell is this place?" ”

If you're not allowed to run around, you have to tell me where the hell this is, right?

The middle-aged uncle shook his head slightly, "I've said it many times, don't ask more!" ”

"If you want to go back, stay honest, or you'll never want to go out!"

After he finished speaking, he shook his hand and left.

What do you mean?

Wang Ling'er and I glanced at each other, and both of us were confused.

What the hell is this place, and who are they?

Is it a time-space shift, or is it another world?

It's really hard to figure out for a while.

I sat down in the hall of the ruined temple and looked listlessly at the Buddha statue.

"Lu Yuan, what do you think it is?"

Wang Ling'er suddenly grabbed me, and then quickly jumped towards the wall.

"It's a dark red mark!"

When I heard this, I hurriedly moved over to take a look, and sure enough, there was a dark red mark on the wall, which was exactly the same as what I had seen outside the ghost tower before.

"Could it be that my dad is here too?" I exclaimed.

Wang Ling'er said that he may be like us, after entering the grotto, he encountered the strange force and was sucked in.

I nodded, if that's the case, then the people in the village should know where my dad is!

Moreover, it is highly likely that he is still alive!

As soon as I was excited, I immediately wanted to go out and ask someone.

Coincidentally, at this time, a person walked in outside the door, and I saw that it was the mother of the little girl from before.

"Young people, don't walk around!"

When the woman saw that Wang Ling'er and I were going to go out, she came in and said something to us.

I said, "Auntie, can I ask you something?" ”

The woman looked at me and Wang Ling'er, "What's the matter?" ”

"What is this place?" Wang Ling'er asked.

I thought that the woman would tell her bluntly, but I didn't think that her answer was almost the same as that of the middle-aged uncle, "There are many rules in the village, if you want to be safe and stable, it is best not to ask too much and meddle in things!" ”

I was speechless for a moment, is it so difficult to say a place?

After a pause, I asked the woman if she had ever seen a middle-aged man about forty years old who looked a little similar to me.

The woman nodded with certainty almost without thinking, "Not long ago, there were indeed a few outsiders in the stockade, and one of them seemed to look a little like you. ”

"How many outsiders?"

Wang Ling'er asked the woman, "Where are they now?" ”

"I don't know."

The woman shook her head, "Only the patriarch knows this. ”

"Don't be in a hurry!"

The woman said that the patriarch would soon come to us, and that the first thing to do was to wash away the sins from our bodies in the temple.

Wash away the sins from your body?

Wang Ling'er and I were stunned for a moment and asked the woman, "What do you mean?" ”

The woman smiled mysteriously, "You outsiders have sins on you, and if you can't wash away the sins on your bodies, the patriarch won't let you go back!" ”

Wang Ling'er and I almost listened to it, what kind of words are these?

Is there sin in us outsiders?

It makes everyone here seem to be bodhisattvas, and their hearts are very pure, and they don't know who it is just now, and they are still tortured to extract confessions from minors!

"Auntie, who told you what you said?" Wang Ling'er looked at the woman and asked.

The woman replied, "It was the old patriarch who had said it."

I think all the people here are weird, and none of them seem to be normal.

Towards night, the little girl who had been locked in the wooden cage returned.

She and her mother have always lived in the ruined temple, and they are descendants of the previous generation of temple keepers.

Tetsu Triathlon didn't lie to us, the sacrifice here will not kill anyone.

This little girl named Jin Ling was covered in mud, and when she saw me and Wang Ling'er when she entered the door, she smiled stupidly: "Hehehehe, I've seen you." ”

I thought to myself, I did see it in Tianba before.

But Jin Ling laughed for a while, and suddenly said, "You are dying, hehe, dying!" ”

When Wang Ling'er heard this, she hurriedly pulled her and asked, "Little sister, what do you mean by this?" ”

I was also very puzzled, although this little girl named Jin Ling was crazy, but when she suddenly said such a sentence, I was still a little worried in my heart.

After all, there is so much weirdness in this place!
