I was taken aback: "Molting? Can people also molt? How is this possible? She's a human, not a cicada......"

I felt very incredible, although I found that the woman was abnormal, but it was not connected with the cicada.

Lao Xiao poured another glass of wine, picked up the wine glass and wanted to drink it, I quickly stopped him: "Uncle Xiao Xiao, it's almost over, don't drink too much to delay things." ”

Lao Xiao smiled: "This little wine, it's not too much." During this time, let alone wine, I didn't even eat a full meal. ”

The third uncle waved his hand: "Old Xiao Lao Xiao, don't pay attention to him, you continue to drink and continue to say, what is going on with that woman?" ”

Lao Xiao nodded: "As far as I know, there is a strange custom in the goddess village, every girl is born, she has to go through a process of choosing a goddess. After being selected as a goddess, she will be the female leader of the entire goddess village in the future and enjoy supreme power. ”

Hearing this, I couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Xiao, isn't the goddess village just a village after all?" It's not a palace, even if it enjoys supreme power, what can it do? ”

Lao Xiao glanced at me and said with a smile: "Then you are wrong, no one has been able to understand the secret of the goddess village for many years." Even if no one leads the way, no one can find the specific address of the goddess village. I am an outsider, although I have followed Liang Yue to the goddess village, but I can't find out even the slightest secret. ”

I asked curiously, "Is it ...... The woman who performed the cicada metamorphosis is a goddess? ”

Lao Xiao shook his head: "She doesn't count, she can only be regarded as a candidate for a goddess." Under normal circumstances, the goddess village will select three to five candidates for the goddess, and let them go through a process of experience before finally selecting the real goddess. ”

The third uncle asked: "Lao Xiao, that woman who has shed cicadas, is it the so-called experience?" ”

Lao Xiao nodded and said, "That's right." As soon as the baby girl of the goddess village is identified as a candidate for the goddess at birth, she will be injected with a drug, similar to the hormones in the cicada's body. Then the growth of the baby girl will be controlled by this drug, and it will not grow like a normal person. When they reach the age of teens, they undergo a special kind of molting, which is similar to the phenomenon of cicadas, and transform into normal people. After the cicada metamorphosis, the girl will have another gladiatorial fight. The final victor will become the new goddess of the goddess village and dominate the entire goddess village. ”

"The victorious became the goddess, but what about the defeated?"

"The goddess fights, never to the death. The one who fails, of course, is dead. Lao Xiao sighed and said.

When I heard this, I was very indignant: "What kind of custom is this? Is this too cruel? What age is this? ”

The third uncle patted me on the shoulder: "Big nephew, don't be impatient." This mountain is high and the emperor is far away, and it is not surprising that there is a bit of a peculiar custom. Didn't you listen to what Lao Xiao said just now, there is no one to lead the way, and it is difficult to find the goddess village. Such a place, isolated from the rest of the world, is likely to be a traditional custom passed down from ancestors. ”

Lao Xiao slapped his thigh: "Yes, yes, that's it." I was following Yue Yatou into the goddess village, and I saved the girl by mistake, I saw that she was pitiful, and when I left the goddess village,

Secretly brought her out. I thought of using my method to help her break the cicada molt phenomenon on her body, but who knew that the effect would be very small. I had no choice but to find this yard, and there happened to be a cellar underneath, so I hid her underneath. But she still maintained her quirks, and only by hanging from the cellar could she live in peace. And I calculated her days, if I waited until the complete human transformation was completed, it would be troublesome, and I would not be able to control her at that time. I was also in that yard and called Mr. Wu. In addition, there were some wandering ghosts in this yard, so I caught them and made them make trouble, so that they created a haunted momentum, and others would not come here. ”

It turned out that the haunting thing here was actually caused by Lao Xiao.

I looked at Lao Xiao and asked, "Uncle Xiao, you mean, have you been to the Goddess Village?" So where is Liang Yue now? ”

Lao Xiao glanced at me: "Don't worry, Miss Yue is fine for the time being, but what I mean by bringing you here is that we have to find a way to take her away from the goddess village." Now she's just a little troubled and can't get out. ”

When I heard this, I became even more anxious: "Uncle Xiao, you keep saying that she is in trouble, what happened to her?" I'm dying......"

The third uncle was next to me, glared at me, and scolded: "You are unproductive, can you be calmer?" Calm down, big nephew. Isn't Lao Xiao telling us? Since it is said that Yue Yatou is okay for the time being, then don't worry, wait for Lao Xiao to finish speaking. ”

Lao Xiao waved his hand: "It's okay, it's okay, I know that Li Yang is worried about the safety of Yue Yatou, I understand." In fact, Liang Yue is in the goddess village now, and when it dawns tomorrow, I can take you there. It's just that I've only been in and out once, and I don't know if I can find it. ”

"Uncle Xiao, I heard Mr. Wu talk about Liang Yue's life experience, she said that she came back to find her biological parents, so her biological parents are in ......"

Lao Xiao nodded: "That's right." Liang Yue's parents are from the goddess village. And as soon as Liang Yue was born, he was identified as one of the five goddess candidates. Oh yes, they also have a name for this kind of goddess candidate internally, called Duonu. This means that all five of them are budding flower bones, but only one will eventually bloom. ”

"Duo girl? Liang Yue is a flower girl? The third uncle asked in surprise.

Lao Xiao remained silent, and then said: "That's right, Yue Yatou is also a poor person, since she was born, she has been destined for her life. At the beginning, it is injected with drugs and undergoes human molting. After the successful person's transformation, he has to fight with other flowers, and it's good to win, and he can be a goddess and be supreme. Although I can't leave the goddess village for the rest of my life, at least I still have a life. If you lose, this life is gone. What's even more terrifying is that most of the people in the goddess village agree with such a way of living. For hundreds of years, it hasn't changed. And it is an extremely honorable thing for the children in my own family to be selected as a girl. The fate of the child, they will not think about it. ”

After listening to Lao Xiao's words, I deeply felt that such a closed village hid too many unreasonable problems. Such a custom, if placed in modern society, must be enshrined in law and morality

Not allow. However, the goddess village has continued this custom for hundreds of years.

When the third uncle heard this, he nodded and said: "I know, it must be that Liang Yue's parents still have some conscience, and they don't want their daughter to be a girl, so they sent Liang Yue out of the goddess village and to Liang Yue's adoptive parents' house, so that Liang Yue did not stay in the goddess village." to be able to live the way of modern people. ”
