A two-meter-high bonfire was erected, and flames rose into the sky, shining on everyone's cheeks in the darkness.

The sparks flew, and Gou Haodong and Song Sixuan danced around the bonfire with the people in the village, holding hands.

The singing was wafting, and everyone had joyful smiles on their faces.

The deer that Bagu had hunted had already been on the grill, and the sound of the oil star was particularly attractive.

"Thank you for taking care of Ya'er, and welcome you to Shanchun Village." At the head was Bagu's wife, the man of the village. She raised the wooden wine glass in her hand to Song Sixuan and Gou Haodong and drank it all.

Only the warrior Bagu was present to accompany him, and the other men were not qualified to play at the table. To Gou Haodong, the warriors here are like beauties in a patriarchal society.

In the past, Qilu Province also had this tradition, and every time the teacher talked about it, the girls in the class were full of righteous indignation, and the posture seemed to want to travel back and change the world.

In fact, Gou Haodong feels that except for the fact that he can't stand other men having a wife with him, everything else is more or less acceptable.

The meat of the venison is relatively loose, there is no particularly obvious aroma, it is rare to eat, and then the taste of the seasoning. If you really want to talk about the taste, it can't compare to the oily wild boar next to it.

As if she hadn't eaten for more than ten years, the girl was gulping and tearing one of her hind legs, and there was nothing else in her eyes except food.

This is because the poison of the Ice and Fire Toad has already hurt her vitality, and the High Priest does not want to use the medicine to supplement her, so he can only satisfy her needs by eating.

"It's still the best thing at home!" Ya'er said vaguely.

Song Sixuan touched Ya'er's head lovingly: "Eat slowly." ”

Gou Haodong always feels that his girlfriend is more mature, at least when the two of them are first together, she is far better than herself. It wasn't until I experienced life and death that I really faded away from immaturity and turned into a butterfly. I don't know if it's because she obtained the exercises when she was young, so her mentality is different.

Ya'er didn't feel that she was surrounded by the eyes of "loving fathers" and "loving mothers" around her, and happily enjoyed her food.

"Gou Haodong and Song Sixuan, right, you come with me." The High Priest's indifferent voice came from behind him.

The stockade was not small, and the high priest walked slowly in front, as if surveying everything around him.

"Are you looking for a place to revive Reiki?" The high priest got straight to the point.

Gou Haodong and Song Sixuan glanced at each other, nodded, and then took out the key and showed it to the high priest.

"It seems that everything is ready, only the east wind is owed." The chief priest sighed.

Gou Haodong asked puzzledly: "Senior High Priest, who are you?" ”

The high priest looked at the stars in the sky and said slowly: "I am a natural god, and my name is Wu Qi. ”

"What?" The shock in Gou Haodong's heart was incomprehensible, this high priest who had been preaching and teaching Ya'er turned out to be a god who guarded the aura revival mouth.

"The reason why I don't want to start the revival of the aura is because of this village." Wu Qi glanced back at the firelight in the distance and the people who were singing and dancing: "They are actually not humans, they are tree spirits that seal the exit of spiritual energy, and they have turned into human forms in a thousand years, but they don't know it. ”

Gou Haodong didn't want to interject anymore, and quietly listened to Wu Qi's narration.

"If you look closely, they don't die, and the wounds heal over time. Generations of people are actually the first few people who evolve in the end, but they keep circulating. The real living people in the whole village are only Lao Suo and Ya'er. ”

Gou Haodong looked over with Wu Qi's gaze in disbelief, and he couldn't imagine that all flesh-and-blood people were fake.

"The arrival of the two of them made the village really full of life, and the tree spirits also subconsciously began to shape the image according to these two real human beings."

"No wonder they were so angry when I hurt the trees today." Gou Haodong worked hard to recall the details, and a lot of unreasonableness became reasonable.

The High Priest said slowly: "If you really want to break the seal, the key will devour them and draw power. ”

Gou Haodong was speechless for a while, not knowing what to say.

Although he knew that they were tree spirits, they were still living beings, and forcibly sacrificing them to satisfy the revival of human aura, Gou Haodong was conceited and couldn't do it.

"I've been with them for too long, and to be honest, I'm a little reluctant in my heart. But I've seen all the vicissitudes of life, and I've accepted it. But I'm worried about that little guy ......" Wu Qi looked at Gou Haodong, waiting for his decision.

"Let me think about it." Gou Haodong was like a drowning man, raising his face and breathing heavily, struggling in his heart.

The sooner the aura is revived, the more time humans have to prepare, and the chances of victory in the face of those dangers in the future will also be improved. It's hard to choose just another kind of intelligent life as a sacrifice.

Song Sixuan grabbed Gou Haodong's hand and said softly, "I think I can ask their opinions." ”

Gou Haodong's eyes lit up, and then dimmed: "It feels a bit like a moral bondage, they are so simple, even if their lives are in danger, they will probably agree to us without reservation." ”

Suddenly, the sound of Suo Suo sounded in the woods, and several men came out of the woods next to them and stood there quietly watching Gou Haodong and them.

"High Priest, why didn't you tell us?" The leader said: "Since it is our duty, what are we afraid of?" Sooner or later, it will be done, and it must be done. ”

Gou Haodong wanted to say that there must be another way, but when he opened his mouth, there was no sound, and he turned his head to look at the high priest, who shook his head.

The man in charge stuck his left hand in his mouth, and when a loud whistle sounded, the people who were playing at the party rushed towards this side in an uproar.

"What's wrong?" It was Ya'er who spoke, she happily threw herself into Song Sixuan's arms and looked at the silent high priest on the side.

"Ugh." The high priest sighed before he could say anything.

"I was leading a squad on patrol just now and I heard the conversation between the high priest and the guests. We are not humans, we are treads, and our mission is to initiate the resurrection of the Spiritual Qi and sacrifice sacrifices. The two guest houses felt that they shouldn't let us die, so they kept struggling. ”

"Are we dryads?" "What is Reiki Recovery?" "Can you not die?"

The following immediately chattered and discussed, of course, they were more curious than resistant, which made Gou Haodong's heart more and more uncomfortable.

"Here's the thing." The high priest looked at Ya'er, the pampering in his eyes flashed, and then he looked at the residents of the village with some reluctance.

"Everyone listens to the High Priest!"

Silence returned to the stockade, except for the distant crackling of torches and firewood.

"You have actually been reincarnated, no matter how you reproduce in the village, in fact, they are all these people, but you don't know it. And the high priest has always been one of me, and the reason why I wear a mask is because I am a natural god and have always kept this face. As he spoke, Wu Qi lifted his hat and took off the mask that had been worn for thousands of years.

The long hair splashed with ink was thrown out, and the delicate goose egg face was displayed in front of everyone, with picturesque eyebrows, skin like condensed fat, and looking forward to radiance. Mature plump with the purity of a girl.,People can't help but get close.。

Heavy breathing came from the crowd, and everyone was attracted by Wu Qi's beauty.

There are beautiful women in the south, and they are all smiles in the city.

Gou Haodong has a family by his side, so he is embarrassed to stare at Wu Qi, and Wu Qi is a thousand-year-old goblin, so it's better not to make up his mind.

"High Priestess, you are so beautiful...... " the girl murmured, her eyes beginning to blur.

"Huh!" Wu Qi reprimanded, and everyone's bodies subconsciously stirred up, and they began to gradually wake up.

"I'm sorry, but my face is born with the ability to charm, so I don't show my true face very much." As he spoke, Wu Qi put on his mask again, turning back into the dull and mysterious High Priest.

Bagu walked to the front of the crowd and knelt down on one knee: "Willing to turn on the aura revival!" ”

Others also knelt down one after another: "Willing to start the revival of the aura!" ”

Gou Haodong couldn't hold back and reminded loudly: "Once it's opened, you will disappear into this world, isn't it good to live?" ”

Bagu looked at Gou Haodong's face seriously, suddenly laughed, and then shook his head: "You have come here thousands of miles away, it must be an urgent matter; If the wise man can entrust the girl to you, it will certainly not be a wicked person; Whether we are human beings or tree spirits, since the world needs us, let's contribute our strength and tell the world that we have been here! ”

Gou Haodong was speechless by what he said, and finally nodded heavily.

Originally, I wanted the people in the village to say goodbye to each other, but the key in Gou Haodong's arms suddenly appeared and flew towards the people in the village.

The soft leaves gently brushed the top of their heads, and each time they touched a person, the leaves would become larger, and the rhizomes would become thicker, and by the time all the people touched them one by one, the grass that was originally the size of a palm had become more than a meter tall.

The crystal green light exudes the breath of spring and rises into the sky, and the people around them slowly turn into trees starting from their feet, and finally turn into humanoid plants that surround the key in the center.

The earth trembled, the aura rose from the range of the village, and the rich aura seemed to condense water, and Gou Haodong and the three of them felt that the pores of their bodies were automatically opened, greedily absorbing the aura around them.

"They ......" The girl was completely confused by what was happening in front of her, or perhaps she didn't want to admit the reality that these people were dead, so she stood there stunned, not knowing what to say.

Song Sixuan walked over distressedly and patted Ya'er's back gently, and the murmur came into her ears.

Zhang Lei ...... Little Fourth Sister...... Bagu ...... Lulu ....... "All of them are people around her who have completely left her.

Song Sixuan looked at Gou Haodong and Wu Qi in embarrassment, and the three of them looked at each other silently.
