Chapter Sixty-Nine, Strange Rituals

Did you hit an evil spirit?

Tang Yao's head exploded in one fell swoop, this kind of closed mountain village is always a favorite scene of horror movies, dark night, thick fog, dead and silent village, this kind of place is not normal without moths.

Tang Yao sat down slowly against the wall, his heart was a little stuffy, and his breathing became short, anyone who encountered this kind of strange thing would have such a reaction, could the huge black shadow before be a monster similar to the legendary mountain spirit, and the two tall and short black shadows he saw just now were not the legendary Yin Lock Soul?

He now just wanted to get back to his hut as soon as possible, but the night was getting deeper and thicker, and he couldn't tell where he was in the village, or even the north, south, east, west, and west.

"If only there was a flashlight." Tang Yao muttered, but he didn't expect to see a flame lit up not far away, the flame penetrated the layers of dense fog and shone through, although it looked very hazy, but it made Tang Yao see hope, maybe it was a villager holding a torch, he could just use this person's firelight to return to the hut where he stayed.

Finally, a smile appeared on his face, and he stood up and shouted in the direction of the firelight: "Hey, is there a fellow over there?" ”

As soon as he shouted, he saw several flames lit up in the dense fog in front of him, these flames were like ownerless ghost fires floating in the dark night, Tang Yao felt that something was wrong and immediately closed his mouth and hid back, if it was a flame, it would be forgivable, but now seven or eight flames suddenly appeared, this is something wrong.

In this village, the villagers don't go out much during the day, but at night they all push and run out, so they don't necessarily have to have a bonfire party with torches, right?

When encountering danger, Tang Yao will always have a reaction beyond ordinary people, this situation has accompanied him as he grows up, when he was a child, he encountered unexpected dangers several times, he could feel and avoid it in advance, as if Tang Yao was carrying a danger alarm.

At this time, the seven or eight flames slowly approached, Tang Yao felt very uneasy at this time, this uneasiness was like encountering danger when he was a child, and it was like when he just stepped into the Beijun Temple, he completely shrank behind the pyre, and at this time he saw seven or eight people holding torches in Tang Yao's eyes, but these people were dressed very strangely, not the clothes of the villagers, but they were all wearing white robes, and they were wearing a strange sack on their heads, Tang Yao vaguely saw a strange pattern similar to eyes painted on the sack.

While they were looking at the seven or eight people, one of them suddenly waved and shouted, "No problem, they're not here, bring someone here." ”

As soon as this sentence was shouted, the sound of chains came from not far away, this sound was very similar to the sound of chains made by Tang Yao when he saw the Yin Difference Soul Lock Soul before, and at the same time as the sound came, three more figures in the mist slowly walked over, still two tall and one short, looking like the Yin Difference that he had bumped into before.

The three figures are getting closer and closer, because there is no sufficient light source when Tang Yao bumped into Yin Cha before, so he can't see whether it is a person or a ghost, and now seven or eight torches converge together, illuminating the area quite brightly, which made Tang Yao see the true face of the so-called Yin Cha, and it was also two tall men wearing strange clothes.

Tang Yao's gaze slowly shifted to the short figure, which looked like a child, but also wore a sack on his head and chains on his hands, as if he was being forced to move forward.

"Hurry up, the transfer ceremony must be completed before dawn." At this time, someone in the group of weirdos said.

The two tall men immediately tugged at the chains to pull the child forward, and the child seemed to have no resistance, and just walked forward after him.

Tang Yao was naturally full of curiosity when he saw such a strange scene, and at the same time, a wave of worry welled up, thinking that when the person in charge of the village first saw Lin Yuan, he said that he was a demon, and now these villagers pretended to be ghosts and made such a scene, he couldn't help but worry about whether the short man who looked like a child would be Lin Yuan?

If it was Lin Yuan, then what did these villagers want to do, it didn't seem to be a good thing to watch the battle.

Because he was worried about Lin Yuan, he couldn't call on his mobile phone, and he couldn't find other members of the Hall of Dead Bones, so he could only follow up and act on his own first.

The flames in the dark night were quite obvious, Tang Yao followed unhurriedly and tried not to expose himself, the mountain road was difficult to walk, and the visibility was very poor, so Tang Yao walked very hard, stumbling and walking for about half an hour, Tang Yao had already scratched several wounds on his legs, and the people in front finally stopped, Tang Yao hid behind a tree and looked around, and seemed to be able to see a narrow cave entrance.

"What do these guys want to do?" Tang Yao became more and more curious in his heart, the group of people in front of him seemed to be discussing something, and the sound of argument came intermittently, and after a while, the argument stopped, and these people went into the cave one after another.

Tang Yao cautiously followed, and only after they had fully entered the cave did he walk to the entrance of the cave and look inside, the inside of the cave looked much deeper than the outside, Tang Yao glanced inside, and could see a few fires reflected on the cave wall, the cave was very narrow, like Tang Yao's height of one meter eight could only bend over and bow his back if he wanted to enter.

He waited for a while to make sure that he would not be discovered, and then got into the cave, the cave was very humid and stuffy, and some reptiles could be vaguely seen on the cave wall, Tang Yao felt very uncomfortable in this oppressive environment, but he still endured and walked forward, the fire appeared and disappeared in front of him, Tang Yao was afraid of losing it, so he stepped up his pace, but fortunately, it didn't take long to reach the end of the cave.

Although the entrance is narrow, there is a large open space at the end, which can be described as a hidden treasure.

Tang Yao saw them enter the cave after they stopped, hiding in the dark and looking forward, these people put torches on the cave wall, it seems that it is not the first time to come here, the cave wall has been inserted with some slots, these blazing flames are beating on the cave wall, the light becomes very good, Tang Yao counted, at this time there are a total of thirteen people standing in the cave, eleven of them should be adult men, and two people who are as short as children.

After entering the cave, these people immediately took off the sack they were wearing on their heads, and sure enough, Tang Yao saw the three men who had appeared at the entrance of the village in the morning, and Tang Yao also saw the faces of two children, one of whom was Lin Yuan, and Lin Yuan's hands were also tied with iron chains.

Tang Yao quietly took out his mobile phone, but the signal displayed in the cave was no service, he wanted to exit the cave to find someone to help, but he was afraid that he would not find his way back, so after thinking about it, he decided to stay and see what the hell these people were doing.

Lin Yuan didn't seem to be forced, and no one beat or scolded him, but he did have chains on his hands, and the other child didn't look like he was resisting or struggling, they looked quite quiet.

At this time, the eleven adult villagers began to get busy, someone opened the package they carried, and took out some strange things from it, some bones of unknown animals, as well as brush paint, and some wooden sticks engraved with strange patterns, these villagers put the wooden sticks on the ground in a circular way, and then put the bones they brought in the wooden sticks around them, and then opened the chains on the hands of the two children, and began to draw something on the faces of the two children with paint, and Tang Yao saw clearly after finishing, Each of the two children had an eye on their foreheads.

"What the hell is this, it can't be some crooked way, right?" Tang Yao became more and more worried.

At this time, Lin Yuan and another child were standing on the wood, and the rest of the villagers began to dance around them in a strange way, not only dancing but also singing strange songs in their mouths, saying that they were songs, but in Tang Yao's ears it was more like chanting a mantra.

Lin Yuan closed his eyes and lowered his head, one hand took the hand of the other child, both children looked nervous, the whole process lasted about ten minutes, at this time the other child seemed to be a little strange, staggering as if about to fall, Lin Yuan hurriedly helped up, and the villager who took the lead shouted: "Stand up straight." ”

After saying that, the man raised his hand and motioned for everyone to stop, and then took out a long needle made of bone or stone, and walked towards the two children step by step.

Tang Yao finally couldn't help but rush out and shout when he saw this: "What are you doing!" ”

Everyone was taken aback, everyone looked at Tang Yao who suddenly broke in in amazement, and the villagers who took the lead shouted angrily: "Who are you, what are you doing here?" ”

Tang Yao also scolded unceremoniously: "You crazy people, what are you doing pretending to be ghosts, what do you want to do to these two children?" ”

However, this time it was not the villagers who took the lead but Lin Yuan who answered Tang Yao, he rubbed his somewhat sleepy eyes and said to Tang Yao: "Brother Tang, the uncle and uncle in the village said that this is the rule set by the ancestors of our village, and the dolls in the village must worship their ancestors in this way when they reach a certain age and get the blessings of their ancestors. ”

As soon as these words came out, Tang Yao was stunned for a moment, and said secretly: Oops, did you make a mistake?
