In this link, people need to sit still, not to talk to each other, not to walk back and forth, not to think cranky, must pray without distractions, and convey the good wishes of the future year to the mountain ghost Niangniang in the form of prayers.

This part is similar to meditation, which is very boring, but it is the most sacred part of the whole sacrificial activity.

The meditation-sitting prayer lasts for a long time, including the entire afternoon of the first day of the prayer and the entire daytime for the next two days. Because it lasts for too long, many people in the mountain ghost festival every year can't bear the prayer link and faint at the venue.

Therefore, not everyone can participate in this sacrifice, the body does not allow it, even if you have this heart, you don't have the strength, which is why most young people participate in the sacrifice.

The Taoist priest finally tasted the bitterness, he couldn't be idle, and asked him to sit motionless and pray, which was even more uncomfortable than asking for his life, but with Sister Bailing watching, he could only stay honestly.

A steady stream of wish power poured in from all directions, and the imprint of the cursed vine on my body faded at a speed visible to the naked eye, and there was no sign of counterattack, and I was completely relieved to concentrate on holding the curse.

In the evening, the people who participate in the festival no longer have to work hard to sit and pray, and a huge bonfire is lit in the center of the festival venue, and the most anticipated bonfire party begins.

Maybe the long time of meditation in the afternoon was too boring, the party had just begun, all the people in the venue were jubilant, everyone held hands, sang and danced around the bonfire, and the humanized organizer also specially lit a few bonfires outside the venue for tourists outside the venue to join in.

The atmosphere is always the flame that ignites a person's inner emotions, and the tourists outside the venue spontaneously surround the bonfire, even if they can't dance, they have to jump a few times with passion.

In an instant, the whole inside and outside the venue was ablaze, and the firelight was mixed with cheers, and the cheers conveyed the singing, which vented the most primitive nature and emotions that people had suppressed for a long time. All the worries and pressures seem to be non-existent at this moment, and people indulge themselves to the fullest, venting their emotions buried in the depths of their hearts, carefree.

In the venue, as I said to the Taoist priest before, as soon as the bonfire party began, there were young people from this village or neighboring villages who invited Sister Bailing, and Sister Bailing all pushed back, but there were still people coming, so the Taoist priest was not happy, this kind of behavior of digging the corner of the wall in front of him simply did not put his Taoist master in his eyes, so he ...... The Taoist priest pulled up Sister Bailing and joined the jubilant team.

I was speechless for a while, but what surprised me even more was that I actually saw the fourth uncle in the venue, he was also in the team of the bonfire party, he was held by a woman, he looked embarrassed, but the woman who held him looked down and generous, and the relationship between the two looked extremely close......

I said in my heart that I depend, it turned out that my grandmother said that the fourth uncle had something important, and this was what she was referring to. However, the fourth uncle is thirty years old, and it is time to find a caring woman to live, after all, this is not in the city, there are more people who get married at the age of seventeen or eighteen in the mountain village of his hometown, like the third uncle, he can already be regarded as an old bachelor.

During the party, the three little girls who had been peeking at the doctor in our neighborhood had the courage to invite the doctor to play with them, but he refused, and then the three girls left disappointed.

I smiled and said to the doctor: "It's rare to have such a good opportunity, it's a pity to just watch from the side and not participate, I don't care here, there is no need to keep guarding." ”

The doctor looked at the crowd jumping in the distance and shook his head: "Forget it, but you reminded me that Yang Mengqing went back to take care of Qiao'er, she should be allowed to come and see, if you don't care here, I will go for her!" ”

I knew the doctor's thoughts, he smiled, and didn't dismantle him, just nodded: "It's okay, you go, if there is any situation, I will call you to inform you!" ”

Hearing me say this, the doctor did not refuse, and turned and left the venue.

Not long after the doctor left, something happened that made me cry and laugh. Two unscrupulous girls who were dressed in revealing clothes and tattooed everywhere and looked very social came to my side, and the ruffians complimented me on the handsomeness of the cursed vine, asked me where I got the tattoos, and said that they would invite me to a bonfire party.

I was speechless for a while, and said in my heart that this thing is not what Lao Tzu wants, but this curse has to stick to me like a dogskin plaster, and if I had a choice, I wouldn't let this ghost thing get on me if I was killed.

So, I was already in a bad mood, and I unceremoniously blew them away, and when I left, I heard them cursing quietly, which really made people laugh and cry. At the same time, I'm also a little depressed, why do doctors attract pure and lovely little sisters, and I can only attract bad girls?

Compared with people, it can really infuriate people!

I was complaining in my heart, Yang Mengqing came back, and brought me a hot-boiling meal very intimately, after eating, I noticed the expectation in her eyes when she looked at the venue, he smiled, and told her to go if she wanted to go, just to relax.

She looked at the bonfire and thought about it, but still shook her head: "Brother (I want to add here, since I saved Yang Mengqing at school, she regarded me as an elder brother, and when I returned to my hometown, my grandmother learned about Yang Mengqing's life experience, she was very sympathetic, so she recognized her as her godgranddaughter, and I became her brother justifiably), I still don't go, you matter here, anyway, there will be opportunities in the future." ”

Hearing her say this, I was very moved, I couldn't help but touch her head, and just wanted to say something considerate to her, when suddenly, a strong sense of vigilance surged in my heart.

Yang Mengqing saw that my face changed suddenly, and his words stopped abruptly, and asked vigilantly, "Brother, what's wrong?" ”

I watched my surroundings warily and did not answer, but the alertness in my heart intensified, as if some invisible danger was approaching.

I hurriedly said to her, "Sister, quickly, bring the Taoist priest." ”

Yang Mengqing didn't ask much, and after answering, she immediately turned over and crossed the barbed wire fence and entered the venue, in the current noisy situation, no one would notice her.

Once inside, she quickly disappeared into the crowd, and I nervously clenched the apocalypse and dialed the doctor's number while keeping an eye on the situation.

When the doctor received the call, he only said that he would be there soon, and then hung up, but the uneasiness in my heart did not diminish at all, but a terrible chill swelled up.

Fortunately, although the uneasiness persisted, nothing happened, and the doctor and Taoist priest rushed back.

After listening to my explanation, the doctor and Sister Bailing were nothing, and the Taoist priest was a little unhappy, and scolded with a dissatisfied face: "Damn-, what a sense of unease, I think you kid is deliberately bad for the good things of the Taoist master, and you have nothing to do......

The Taoist priest really owed, and wanted to continue to complain, but Yang Mengqing became angry: "Shut up, no one asks you to stay here, it's about my brother's safety, but you only care about yourself, what kind of friend are you?" ”3800

We didn't expect that Yang Mengqing, who usually doesn't like to talk much, would lose his temper so much, especially the Taoist priest, who was stunned by this call, and opened his mouth several times, but he couldn't say a word.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, the doctor hurriedly pulled Yang Mengqing over, and Sister Bailing also twisted the Taoist priest's ear, which hurt him so much that he begged for mercy again and again, and finally had to admit his mistake, and the atmosphere eased up.

After such a fuss, the Taoist priest didn't dare to mention the matter of entering the venue anymore, and shrank to the side and sulked.

The bonfire lasted until eleven o'clock, and nothing happened on our side, but the uneasiness in my heart was still there, without any reason, and gradually even I began to wonder if it was a delusion that I was too anxious.

Since it was the first night, we were all very cautious, and we hardly slept much, in order to prevent another quarrel, as soon as the bonfire party ended, I called Yang Mengqing home to take care of Lin Qiaoer.

The first night had passed undisturbed in my intense uneasiness, and by the next morning the vine of the curse had completely faded from my face and had shrunk to the shoulder, and at this rate, the curse would return to its original state as soon as the day passed.

Of course, this possibility is almost zero, because the further the mountain ghost festival goes, the less power of prayer, and the slower the speed of suppressing the curse, and the time of three days is calculated by grandma, and it is basically impossible to advance it.

Compared with yesterday, today is particularly boring, thousands of people except for quiet or silent-sitting, there is no special activity, the tourists who came to visit walked nearly two-thirds at once, and the venue suddenly became empty.

The next day, there were still no accidents, and the evening was still a bonfire, but tonight people no longer danced, but in pairs with each other, or sat outside the campfire, or looked for a remote and quiet corner, to tell their hearts, and make a lifelong decision.

It can be said that tonight is what the Taoist priest is looking forward to the most, but unfortunately because of last night's incident, Sister Bailing completely ignored him, and the Taoist priest's plan fell through, for this reason, he was quite unhappy with Yang Mengqing.

As soon as the second day passed, all the attractive programs of the mountain ghost festival were over, and early in the morning of the third day, most of the remaining tourists left, and finally there were only about 100 people left outside the venue, some of which were near the village, and there were even fewer real tourists.

As soon as I woke up on the third day, my eyelids kept jumping, and at the same time, the uneasiness in the past two days had reached its peak, and at this time, I was not the only one who had such a premonition, the Taoist priest, Sister Bailing, and the doctor all had solemn faces, and their hearts began to feel inexplicably uneasy.

At about nine o'clock, several of us began to panic inexplicably, and felt an indescribable strangeness, and at the same time, several black sheep and a buffalo tied to the outside of the meeting hall to be used as an end sacrifice for the sacrifice also began to become restless, desperately trying to break free from the rope.

At this time, we couldn't hold back any longer, and Sister Bailing informed the grandmother in the venue of all the situation through the Son and Mother Lianxin Gu, and the news sent back by the grandmother surprised us.

Her old man, as well as a few old men in the rest of the villages who knew witchcraft, had the same hunch, and it was even stronger than ours.

After getting this news, we couldn't help but look at each other, and grandma also came out with a news that made us even more panicked at this time, she asked us to be ready to evacuate at any time, she had already ordered the inside of the venue, Erhu and the village chief uncle were already starting to prepare.

The mountain ghost festival has not yet ended, but grandma has made such a decision, which makes us feel uneasy and panic at the same time.

The sky was overcast, and there was a precursor to a storm, which was not often seen in the middle of winter.

As soon as we received the news from Grandma, the Taoist priest and Sister Bailing immediately began to act, contacting the staff outside the venue while evacuating the remaining tourists.

Since we didn't know what was going to happen later, the Taoist priest was taken as a liar when he went to evacuate the tourists, and no one paid attention to it. Later, it was the security team found by Sister Bailing who came forward and persuaded most of the tourists to return to the village under the pretext that there were fierce beasts approaching around.

Until this point, we were still confused, but the strong sense of crisis in my heart had made my hairs stand up involuntarily.

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from my consciousness, it was the intermittent voice of the little witch boy: "Brother... Brother, dangerous ...... Narrow pass... Run......"

I was stunned for a moment, and said in my heart, could it be that the little witch boy lost to the cursed vine? But it soon became clear to me that this was not the case, for I received a very vague message from another consciousness in my mind, and to my disbelief, it was actually conveyed to me by the vine of the damned.

This message is neither a sound nor an image, but a simple 'thought' that roughly means a truce with me, and it degenerates into the original state of the curse on its own, demanding that I recall the witch boy, and ...... Run now!

The thought conveyed by the cursed vine is very faint, but the final escape meaning is very clear, and it is very strong, giving people the feeling of burning fart-shares.

What could it be that could make the cursed vine fear like this, and voluntarily degenerate in order to flee for its life?

I didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and immediately conveyed a thought to the little witch boy, and immediately, the witch boy flew out of my body and swooped back into the witch boy statue, at the same time, a small half of the cursed vine seemed to have shrunk, emitting countless black gas, and finally curled up back on my right arm, turning into black lines.

Without allowing me to be shocked in the slightest, a series of shouts and curses suddenly sounded on the side of the venue near the mountain forest:

", whose dog isn't on a leash?"

"Quick, get out of the way, ah, look, there's a turtle on that dog's back!"

"Hey, really, wait...... What are those? ”

……

I hurriedly got up and looked in the direction of the commotion, only to see the third child, who had been missing for nearly three days, jumping out of the forest with a turtle in embarrassment, the old turtle looked frightened, and shouted while fleeing: "Run for your life, that thing is coming......

Immediately behind them, a large white mist spread out from the depths of the trees, enveloping the sacrificial venue.
