After Duan Feiqiu said this, he wiped his mouth and left. Gu Xiangcheng lowered his eyes and drank tea, and when he looked up, he was facing a pair of disgusted eyes that were leaning on the railing on the second floor. I don't know if it's his illusion, the color of these eyes seems to be lighter than a few days ago.

Gu Xiangcheng was in a trance for a moment, and laughed in his heart that he had entered the magic barrier, how could he see who he was?

With a smile on his face, he saw that Qing Qing went downstairs and sat down opposite him. The cold-looking girl glanced at him, tapped her finger on the table, and wrote, "What do you think?" ”

Gu Xiangcheng touched his chin and said thoughtfully: "What he said is unknown, and there is not much information revealed. But...... One thing he said was right, if he continued to be so unclear, Yangui Town would become a dead city sooner or later. When the time comes, no matter who it is, they won't be able to get out. ”

Disgusted with Qing withdrew his hand and tucked it in his sleeve, his thin eyebrows frowning slightly, as if he was struggling with how to solve the town's big. Troublesome.

The beauty frowned, no matter who saw it, it was distressing, and Gu Xiangcheng was no exception. He comforted: "Don't worry about the misogyny girl, I'll go outside and check it out later." ”

Disgusted Qing looked at him: "How do you want to check?" ”

Gu Xiangcheng said with a smile: "Since there are gods to sacrifice in Yangui Town, there must be a record of this." I'd just like to borrow a way to take a look. ”

Oh, so I was going to be a thief. The disgusted girl pursed her lips, but she couldn't think of a better way, so she could only agree with her head.

At this time, Gu Xiangcheng said again: "But the disgusting girl doesn't have to go together." ”

The cold girl looked at him dissatisfied.

"This kind of rough work is left to me, and if the girl has nothing to do, she can go around the town more often. When I went out this morning, I saw a lot of interesting things, and I thought the girl should like them. Gu Xiangcheng smiled.

Disgusted with him for a moment, he lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, and agreed.

The two talked for a while, and Gu Xiangcheng left first, looking a little impatient. After waiting for him to leave, he slowly drank the tea in the pot and left the inn. In order to prevent trouble, she also specially covered a light veil on her face.

What Gu Xiangcheng said is true, there are really a lot of strange gadgets in Yangui Town, and many of them can't be seen outside. Disgusted with Qing looked all the way, and he was dazzled.

"This girl, the best rouge gouache! A box? A kind mother-in-law carried a bamboo basket with a piece of floral cloth on top of it, which was piled with rouge gouache.

His expression changed slightly, but he still shook his head patiently.

She didn't buy it, and her mother-in-law didn't stop her, still smiling and greeting the next guest. It's a pity that the girl who was stopped by her either avoided it or ignored it and hurried past her.

He stopped and watched for a moment, stroking the dust that didn't exist on his body. There is a lot of weirdness in this town, but unfortunately I can't tell what's wrong for a moment.

When he came to the disgusted youth, he was empty-handed, and when he returned to the inn, he was still empty-handed.

Gu Xiangcheng had already come back and asked for a private room on the second floor to wait for her. Seeing her push the door in, a smile rose on her lips, and she raised the booklet in her hand by the way: "It's worth the trip." ”

He took off his veil and sat down. The booklet was spread out on the table, and the page turned was a record of the sacrifices of the gods who had returned to the town for hundreds of years.

Hundreds of years ago, Yangui Town was just a small island, surrounded by endless water, and the residents of the island worshiped the sea god every year and prayed for good weather and rain.

Hundreds of years have passed, the plateau has become flat, the ocean has become a mountain and river, and Yangui Town has become a small city surrounded by mountains on three sides, but the habit of worshipping the sea god has been preserved to this day. The sacrificial items were also changed from sea fish to pigs, cattle and sheep.

A thin page, not much to record, and at first glance there are no clues. Gu Xiangcheng thought about it, went out and called Xiao Er, and threw him a piece of broken silver: "Little Second Brother, there is something unclear below, please ask Little Second Brother to solve your doubts." ”

Xiao Er said with a smile: "Guest officer, you said, the little one must know everything!" ”

Gu Xiangcheng said: "I was eating in the lobby in the morning, and I overheard someone say that after the Poseidon Festival, there will always be so many people who die, but is it true? ”

"Oh my uncle, you can be quiet!" Xiao Er was suddenly frightened, he looked around suspiciously, leaned closer and whispered, "Guest officer, I told you, you should also listen to the fun, don't talk nonsense!" ”

"You say."

Xiao Er swallowed his saliva, lowered his voice and said, "Actually, this matter is also evil......"

Four years ago, the Poseidon Festival was as lively and crowded as ever, and there was such a situation earlier, so everyone didn't pay much attention to it. But on that day, just as everyone was about to leave after worshipping the gods, suddenly a large crack broke in the ground, and the whole altar sank down, and the bottom was a sea of water that was rolling in waves, and the water splashed on the people nearby, making people feel relaxed.

Everyone thought it was the manifestation of the sea god, and they crowded to see it one by one, and a few people in front of them avoided it, so they were squeezed into the water. Coincidentally, as soon as those people fell into the water, the big slit gradually closed.

After that, this kind of incident occurred every year at the Poseidon Festival, and at first people were still trembling, for fear that the gods would be angry, but later they found that their lives were better than before, so they didn't care about it.

Besides, those who died did not learn and did not know how to do it on weekdays, they were idle, relying on their own strength, and they almost became a scourge for the disaster, and they could be cleaned up by the gods, which could be regarded as eliminating harm for the people.

It's just that this is the evil gate, and the evil door is here. The corpses of those people would appear on the altar in a few days, as if the gods had brought them back after they had eaten the sacrifice! But when they were sent back, they all turned into skin and bones, and there was no flesh and blood in them!

After listening to this, Gu Xiangcheng pondered for a while, and when he came back to his senses, Xiao Er was still looking at him with blank eyes, as if he was waiting for his question, and couldn't help laughing: "Thank you, little second brother, I understand." ”

"Hey, thank you, you're busy!" As soon as Xiao Er heard that he had nothing to do, he smiled very brightly, nodded and retreated.

Seeing him as if he was facing a great enemy, Gu Xiangcheng smiled helplessly, and looked back at the disgusting youth: "What do the disgusting girls think?" ”

Disgusted with green: "There is something strange. ”

Gu Xiangcheng said in his heart, isn't what you said the same as if you didn't say it? But the face still agreed: "What the girl said is good." ”

Disgusted Qing glanced at him and saw that he was perfunctory, and he didn't defend himself, but just wrote: "Duan Feiqiu, Chengzhi, and Little Second Brother, one of them must be fake." ”

Gu Xiangcheng's eyes moved, and he asked softly, "You mean ......?" ”

Disgusted with Qingwei, he nodded slightly and wrote: "I doubt Duan Feiqiu. ”

"Why is that?"

Disgusted Qing wrote: "It's too much of a coincidence. ”

Gu Xiangcheng thought about it carefully, too, how could they just hear someone talking about the Sea God Sacrifice while they were eating? Duan Feiqiu's appearance seemed to be deliberately waiting for them.

"But it doesn't make sense, if what Duan Feiqiu said is really false, then why did he warn us to leave quickly?" Gu Xiangcheng was still puzzled.

For this, I can't figure it out. But she was still suspicious of Duan Feiqiu. There is no reason.

Because they had something hidden in their hearts, the two of them didn't eat much at night, so they went back to their rooms to rest. Fortunately, they have enough time to tear apart the secret of the wild goose's return to the town little by little.

Walking on the dark alleyway, the husband couldn't help but yawn a lot, and knocked twice on the pawl. He gambled during the day, won a lot of money, and made a lot of money! I'm a little sleepy at this point.

As he was walking, there seemed to be a person standing at the entrance of the alley. The husband squinted, walked over cautiously, and said, "This adult, it's the second watch, why haven't you gone home yet?" But the mystery—uh—"

The rest of the husband's words were blocked in his throat, and his whole body floated in mid-air, his eyes were round, his hands were clutching his neck, his face was flushed, and he kept struggling.

But in the time of half a cup of tea, his struggle gradually weakened, and his body fell to the ground with a pop, gradually becoming cold. The figure at the entrance of the alley paused for a moment before slowly dissipating.

"Ahh

Early the next morning, as soon as the residents of that alley went out, they were frightened by the corpse in front of the door, and let out a heart-rending shout.

When Gu Jiaocheng and Yanqing heard the news, they hurried over, pushed aside the lively crowd, squeezed to the front, and saw the corpse - the flesh and blood in the person's body seemed to evaporate out of thin air overnight, leaving only a skinny corpse!

The two glanced at each other, and they both remembered what Xiao Er said yesterday.

They are outsiders after all, and they can't ask to see the corpses. can only follow the flow of people to gradually disperse.

On the way back, Gu Xiangcheng broke the silence: "It's finally started." ”

Disgusted with the green nodded.

Gu Xiangcheng said: "I thought that there was still a lot of time waiting for me to check slowly." But now it seems that ......," he paused and said with a smile, "Actually, Duan Feiqiu is right. ”

Disgusted Qing looked at him suspiciously.

"It won't be long before Yangui Town becomes a dead city." Gu Xiangcheng repeated in a low voice, "You say, is he reminding, or is he prophesying?" ”

Whatever the possibility, there is not much time left for them.

Gu Jiaocheng thought of the big dark clouds in the sky he saw when he first arrived, and he thought that it was inseparable from this sea god sacrifice.

The two of them were not in a hurry to return to the inn, and walked slowly around the town.

"I said that your family is going to be in a big disaster, why are you so ignorant?" As he was walking, a familiar voice came from afar. When I got closer, it was Duan Feiqiu who was being chased by a middle-aged woman and beaten with a broom. When he saw his acquaintance, he was overjoyed, "Brother Gu, Miss Shen!" ”

It seems that there is no way to hide.

Gu Xiangcheng wiped his face, and greeted him with a puzzled smile: "Brother Duan, who are you?" ”

"Don't mention it, I just kindly reminded this aunt to be careful with fire, otherwise I am afraid that there will be a bloody disaster, and she will chase her for three streets - ouch!" As he was talking, Duan Feiqiu was cold and took another beating, grinning in pain.

Gu Xiangcheng couldn't help but smile, stopped in front of the aunt, and said with a smile: "This aunt, my friend can't speak, please forgive him this time!" ”

The middle-aged woman crossed her waist with one hand, spewed out a fierce breath from her nose, glared angrily at Duan Feiqiu, who was hiding behind Gu Xiangcheng and refused to show her head, and scolded: "Next time you dare to talk nonsense, the old lady will pick you all over your skin!" ”

Duan Feiqiu was so frightened that he almost didn't cry!

The middle-aged woman took another spit, carried a big broom, and walked away like a fly.

Duan Feiqiu dared to come out at this time, and when he saw that the person had really gone away, he patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief, looking like he had escaped, looking inexplicably funny.

It's just that Gu Xiangcheng couldn't laugh. He looked at the friend he had just met yesterday and wanted to see something different in him. But no matter how he looked at it, this man was still like this, obviously very young, but unkempt.

Duan Feiqiu relieved himself and glanced at them: "You guys...... Haven't left yet? ”

Gu Xiangcheng was stunned for a moment and said, "Well, yes." I was going to leave today, but someone died early in the morning. Now the gates of the city are also blocked, and no one is allowed to enter or leave, and they cannot go out. ”

Duan Feiqiu's face suddenly became very strange, as if he was smiling: "Really? ”

"Don't talk about this, by the way, Brother Duan, I just seemed to see you over there, why were you chased and beaten by the aunt just now?"

Duan Feiqiu's panicked look flashed: "Really? Maybe you're mistaken? I was chased by that aunt for three streets, how could I possibly go to see the body? ”

"I see." Gu Xiangcheng bent his eyes and responded with a smile.
