"Okay, now that it's decided, let's go, I'm almost hungry." Zimeng didn't have the heart to rub shoulders with a few people, so after speaking, he took the first step and everyone went downstairs.

Twilight Xue glanced at Tianyou, who seemed to be a little absent-minded, and after pondering for herself, she said, "Why don't I stay too, I don't feel at ease when Qing'er is here alone, you can also bring me something to eat later." ”

Tianyou stared at Twilight Xue and frowned, but when he thought of the strenuous exercise last night, he couldn't help but understand why Twilight chose to stay, and gave Feng Long a look and motioned him to go down first, "That's fine, you two stay, I'll bring food back later." ”

After that, Tianyou no longer paid attention to the two girls, and climbed down the stairs with the footsteps of Feng Long, the village in the early morning, the air was exceptionally refreshing at this time, and the four of them walked on the sheep intestine path as if they were going to integrate into the surrounding environment.

couldn't help but make the four of them take a deep breath, "It's so early, will people still be sleeping?" A group of four people walked slowly on the winding lanes of the village, and Zimeng suddenly saw the silence around him, and couldn't help but feel the illusion of rushing, and always felt that the village seemed to be too quiet.

Seeing Zimeng's listless expression, Feng Long took his words and said: "The villagers usually get up very early, and now it is possible that they have already farmed, and the old patriarch also said last night that their village is isolated from the outside world.

If you want to survive, you have to be self-reliant, and I took a look at the rice in their village, it grows very well, I think these villagers must be very hardworking, and we will know when we meet the patriarch and ask again, don't worry. ”

The more Tianyou walked, the more he felt that something was wrong, and suddenly stopped to take a closer look at the surrounding environment, and exclaimed: "No, no matter how early you get up, it is impossible to be so quiet, is something wrong?" ”

Zimeng couldn't help but be shocked when he heard it: "It can't be, zombies are coming to attack the village." ”

"Impossible, if zombies attacked the village, we couldn't have known about it last night, and if you look at the surrounding rooms and the whole village, there is no destruction at all, and there is no trace of fighting, it can't be a zombie attack on the village..."

"Feng Long is right, it can't be a zombie attacking the village." Before Feng Long's words could be spoken, Zhou Fan's voice suddenly sounded behind him: "The zombies were originally coming at us yesterday."

If the zombies attacked the village last night, it would be impossible not to look for us, so many people died in their village yesterday, today should be the day of the burial, the whole village is holding a burial ceremony, it is estimated that the whole village went to participate, they should be in the place of sacrifice. ”

"Zhou Fan, are you awake?" As soon as Tianyou and the others heard the voice, they immediately looked back, only to see Zhou Fan walking towards them slowly with Qing'er and Duxue, and Zimeng exhaled in surprise.

Tianyou glanced at Zimeng, didn't care about his fuss, paused and said, "What's the matter with you, it won't be that you have gone mad." ”

"Hehe" Zhou Fan smiled when he saw this, shook his head and said: "I'm just a demon in my heart, so I meditate to calm myself down, probably because of the influence of the environment, I don't know how, I entered a state of meditation, and when I woke up, Qing'er and Duxue told me that you had already gone to find Yuxuan, and I didn't worry about it, so I followed." ”

"I see." Tianyou took Twilight's hand and asked, "How do you know that they went to the sacrifice and be buried?" ”

"It's simple, you see." After saying that, Zhou Fan pointed to a rising cloud of smoke in the distance: "The whole village is arranged according to the five elements of gossip, and the direction of the middle gen, only the road where they came is the exit."

The other fork in the entrance is where the hanging coffin is, where is also a death valley, you see where the smoke is lit, it should be lit by the villagers in the ancestral worship, and only the whole village has gone to participate in the burial ceremony, the village will be so quiet. ”

"Since that's the case, let's go over and take a look, where is there only a mountain away from the exit of the Netherworld Mansion, don't mess with anything." After Zhou Fan finished speaking, Feng Long immediately suggested that everyone go over early, lest something bad happen.

"Don't worry, their village can exist for so long, there must be certain rules for them, and people bury their ancestors, we outsiders may not be welcome, why don't we wait for them to come back in the square."

And where is the distance, we are also more than half an hour away from here, we haven't eaten for a day, even if we pass, we don't have anything to eat, and other people's ancestral things, why can't we take them to eat, so it's best to wait for them here. ”

Everyone was silent when they heard this, since Zhou Fan said so, they would not join in the excitement, and a group of people slowly followed the winding path and came to the square in the middle of the village again.

But to their surprise, the old patriarch actually sat there waiting for them, and there was a table of sumptuous meals placed in the square, everyone was a little surprised to see it, but because of hunger, a group of people still came to the square quickly.

"I'm starving," Zimeng grabbed the chopsticks on the dining table without saying a word.

"Get out of the way and cool off," before Zimeng could make a move, Feng Long quickly picked up the chopsticks and slapped them on his claws, which immediately made Zimeng retract his hand in pain, and was about to scold Feng Long angrily.

However, Feng Long spoke first: "Are there any rules, the old patriarch is still beside you, and you don't ask if this meal is prepared for you." ”

"Uh, this......"After being scolded by Feng Long, Zimeng was a little shy and didn't dare to look directly at everyone, and he didn't say a word.

"Haha," the old patriarch seemed to be very happy when he saw that everyone was coming, and he smiled even more happily when he saw Zimeng's deflated appearance, and after a pause, he said: "It's okay, this meal was originally prepared for you, you can eat it with confidence." After that, he motioned for Zhou Fan and a few people to sit down.

Zhou Fan and the others were also hungry for a day, and when they saw the old patriarch say this, they were even more unrestrained, and they each found a place, so they began to eat and drink, "By the way, why is the village so quiet, is there any village-wide activity." ”

After Zhou Fan clipped a chicken wing to Qing'er, he put down his chopsticks, and said that he walked towards the old patriarch sitting on the side, and when he saw Zhou Fan coming, the old man did not answer Zhou Fan's words, but asked Zhou Fan first: "Why aren't you hungry?" ”

Zhou Fan smiled and shook his head and replied, "I'm not very hungry yet, you haven't told me yet, what's going on?" ”

The old patriarch glanced at Zhou Fan strangely, his expression was a little strange, "Actually, it's nothing, after the death of each generation of our patriarchs, the whole village will go to participate in the burial ceremony, and Yu Qiong is this way of dying, there is no need to make sacrifices in the village."

That's why I ordered Yu Xuan to take the whole village and let him preside over the funeral ceremony, as for me not to go, I will give Yu Xuan the right to be handed over to Yu Xuan when I am old, and some things are also needed, and he, the patriarch, can show up to suppress the people below. ”

Zhou Fan stared at the old man's expression, and seemed to see some clues from his expression, and couldn't help but stare at the old man with slight eyes and said, "The old patriarch is waiting for us here, presumably not just to be lazy." ”

"Hehe, little brother Zhou Fan is really a smart person." The old man changed his previous old state, and his body immediately gave people the majesty of a superior person, which emanated from him, and the old man stared at Zhou Fan and the others for a while before he said solemnly: "I know where the corpse pond you said before is." ”

"What do you know?" Zhou Fan's face changed when he heard this, and his friendly expression became a little cautious and a little defensive.

The old man didn't care about Zhou Fan's expression, he smoked a cigarette and said: "Actually, I didn't know about this matter at first, until I went to rummage through my father's relics last night and learned that my grandfather's patriarch was robbed, and the previous patriarch inheritance was my uncle, alas, it is also a sin." ”

Everyone originally ate the right food, but when they heard the old man's words, they couldn't help but stop the chopsticks in their hands, and the old man paused and said: "I found an event notebook in my father's collection, which said that my clan did not know who was the grave keeper a thousand years ago.

And let my clan live in this place for generations, but when it came to the sixth generation of patriarchs, he found that this so-called tomb keeper was a conspiracy, and the patriarch was unwilling to be at the mercy of generations, so he made a corpse pool in the back mountain, and used the lives of the clansmen to nourish the blood pool, wanting to change the fate of the clansmen for generations with the help of the blood pool. ”
