Chapter 37: Confession
Now, only Lu Qiu and Gu Chong are left in the team, Xie Jinyu, Fan Zhongjing (the thin man) and Song Yu, and the others are dead.
I thought Ming Zhao was a king, but it turned out to be a bronze ...... Lu Qiu was speechless, and this time he made a difficulty.
The earth temple is a mortal situation, which means that it is absolutely impossible to hide important items inside, so where are the important items?
Seeing Lu Qiu come back in embarrassment, Song Yu was startled, and his face turned pale.
"You guys, did something happen to you?"
Lu Qiu nodded wordlessly, and motioned for everyone to go in and say. After coming to the house and sitting down, he told Song Yu everything that had happened.
Song Yu's expression was very ugly, and it could be seen that she was very afraid of this matter, but for some reason, Lu Qiu Wuyan always felt as if she knew something, as if, she knew that this thing was bound to happen, and she was only afraid of that thing in the temple.
"Stained with blood...... It's going to need more ......," Song Yu muttered blankly.
"What did you say?"
"Ahh Hearing Lu Qiu's wordless inquiry, Song Yu raised his head, "No, it's nothing ......"
"What do we do now?" Fan Zhongjing said in a panic that he had always taken Ming Zhao as his backbone, but at this time, he lost his backbone, and he was completely like a headless fly, not knowing what to do next.
"I believe Sister Luqiu," at this time, Xie Jinyu suddenly spoke, she turned her head and looked at Luqiu in front of her speechlessly, "Sister Luqiu will take us out, right." ”
Obviously still has a green face, but her eyes are smarter than her peers, and her short words made Fan Zhongjing seem to grasp the life-saving straw, staring at Lu Qiu Wuyan with eyes full of hope and help, and accurately hugged Lu Qiu Wuyan's thigh.
Lu Qiu took a deep breath without words,
"Don't worry, I'll do my best to get you out." As she said this, her eyes kept falling on Xie Jinyu.
Song Yu, who was on the side, bit his lip and seemed to have made some major decision.
Because the person who originally lived with Fan Zhongjing was dead, he didn't dare to sleep alone, so there was no way, Xie Jinyu had to move over and sleep with him.
Just when both sides were about to go back to the room, Song Yu suddenly grabbed Lu Qiu speechlessly.
"Sister Luqiu, I have something to tell you."
Lu Qiu looked at her speechlessly and whispered, "Let's go back to the room." And so the three of them returned to their rooms.
Lu Qiu Wuyan and Gu Chong sat together, looking at Song Yu opposite, Song Yu took a deep breath and strengthened his belief before he spoke.
"I know where the key items are?"
As soon as these words came out, Gu Chong was in an uproar, "How do you know where the key items are?" ”
"Because ......"
"Because—"
Song Yu and Lu Qiu spoke at the same time, and Song Yu and Gu Chong looked at Lu Qiu who interjected.
Bathed in the gaze of the two, Lu Qiu Wuyan did not feel uncomfortable, but said lightly:
"Because, you're from this village, aren't you?"
What the?!
Gu Chong and Song Yu both showed extremely surprised expressions on their faces, Gu Chong was surprised because Song Yu was originally from this world, but he had been mixed into their team for so many days; And Song Yu was surprised that he had already been seen through by this person, but he didn't break it.
"You, how do you know......"
Song Yu spoke with difficulty, Lu Qiu glanced at her wordlessly, and his tone didn't care, "Your acting skills are really bad, as long as you pay a little attention, you can find something wrong." Besides, it's not the first time I've encountered this situation, even if the original people in the world are well disguised, there will always be emotional flaws. ”
"And you, the one with the biggest flaws I've ever seen."
Gu Chong's eyes widened and he looked at Lu Qiu speechlessly, from beginning to end, he thought that Song Yu was just naturally timid, and he didn't pay too much attention to her. In fact, he can't be blamed completely, who would have thought that the NPCs in the inner world could still blend into those of them who have lived in the world?
Song Yu was stunned, and then a wry smile appeared on his face, "Sister Luqiu, I chose you, and I really chose you correctly." ”
"Before I tell you where the key items are, I'll tell you about my background," she said, looking up out the window, and it was still dark.
"I am from this village, my name is not Song Yu, my name is Feng Ayu."
"The village practices living sacrifices to the river god, and I think you've seen the river god. It's not a river god at all, it's an evil thing, and it's been a nightmare for us in Huaishui Village ever since it was dug out of the ground. ”
Song Yu sat on the bed with her legs hugging her knees.
"Every year, on the day it was dug up, a girl would be selected in the village and put on a raft as a sacrifice and sent to the earthen temple, and then the next day the raft would float back on its own, and the girl would be nowhere to be found."
"One year, the choice of the sacrifice fell to my family."
Speaking of this, Song Yu's tears flowed, she rudely wiped them away with her hands, and continued:
"My sister was chosen for the sacrifice, and at that time, my sister was already eighteen years old, and she had negotiated with the family in the village and was ready to get married after the sacrifice."
"My father and mother prayed to the priest in charge of the sacrifice, but the priest said that the election was the will of the river god and could not be changed, and even the family that was married to my sister took the initiative to dissolve the marriage contract, so that my sister could rest assured,"
"As a sacrifice."
"I was also very sad, and in private I also let her escape from the village, maybe she could survive, because as long as she crossed the Heishui River not far from the village, the villagers would not continue to chase her."
"At that time, I was sixteen years old, and my body shape was not much different from my sister, and the sacrifices were to be packed into a sedan chair and sent to the river, even if they came down, they had to cover their faces. Because of this, my sister thought of a way to escape the living sacrifice,"
"Just replace her with me."
Gu Chong frowned when he heard this.
"I was stunned by her, and by the time I woke up, I had already been loaded into a sedan chair. At that time, I was panicking, listening to the joy of gongs and drums outside, and I didn't know what to do. ”
"At this time, I heard Ah Bi's voice."
"Ah Bi is the priest's apprentice, and I have had a good relationship with him since I was a child......
"There was a special code between us, so I tapped the wooden plank in the sedan chair with my last hope, hoping that he would understand that it was my ...... sitting in the sedan chair."
"He found out."
"He told the priest, and the priest went to the house and found his sister who was hiding in the house, so she got into the palanquin again, and I was put home."
Feng Ayu raised his head and looked at Lu Qiu speechlessly, "I believe you should have seen it when you went to the ancestral hall, right?" My sister's tablet, her name is Feng Amu. ”
Lu Qiu nodded wordlessly.
"That's when the real nightmare began."
"Since my sister was sacrificed alive, it is common to hear a female voice singing a ballad in the village at night, or constantly calling for a sister, and if anyone goes to see or answers, their heads will be cut off in unison, or they will be chopped into pieces and piled up in the house."
"I know, that's my sister looking for me."
"She was unwilling, unwilling to die like this, so she was slaughtering villagers in a frenzy and wanted revenge. She's also constantly looking for me, because it's me who she wants to get revenge on. ”
"The priest died, and so did the family with whom she had been disengaged, and although my father and mother were not dead, they were frightened mad. Even so, the annual living sacrifice must be held, because the evil creature in the temple is much more terrible than my sister. ”
"The population of the village is getting smaller and smaller, and I am living a life of hiding in Tibet, until I find out that one day, there are outsiders like you in the village, who claim to be outsiders in the world, and I find that my sister will not be able to find me among you."
"So," Lu Qiu said wordlessly, "you've never confessed your identity to the people before you?" ”
Feng Ayu nodded.
"I've encountered people who didn't find key items and all of them died here, and I've also encountered crooked hits that just happened to be found."
"What impressed me the most was a man whose name I have forgotten. But he was very smart and strong, but he found all the props in four days. But he didn't feel good, so I didn't ask for his help. ”
"So you're telling us this, what are you going to do with us?" Lu Qiu said speechlessly, she also believed that there was no such thing as pies falling from the sky.
"I don't need you to do anything," Feng Ayu took a deep breath, she stared straight at Lu Qiu speechlessly, and said word by word,
"I just need you to help me on the last day, surpassing my sister."
"Excess?"
Lu Qiu frowned silently, "But since your sister is the one who blocks the door of this world, how can we go over?" ”
Feng Ayu shook her head, "No, you're wrong, my sister is not qualified to be a doorblocker, she is just the same as the female ghost you heard singing at night, just the so-called river god's subordinates." It's just that my sister is stronger and more evil than the female ghost, in fact, the female ghost who sings has never harmed anyone, and even warns when danger comes. ”
"The real blocker is the river god, you just need to make sure that the river god is completely dragged down, so that he has no time to take care of my sister until I completely overtake my sister."
"So, you're going to overlive the Dead?"
"Well," Feng Ayu nodded, "Ah Bi taught me before he died." Over the years, I've learned pretty much as well. ”
Lu Qiu and Gu Chong glanced at each other and nodded.
