Chapter 106: The Village of the Holy Maiden
There was a night breeze blowing, and those pair of godless and treacherous eyes looked particularly penetrating under the cold moonlight, no temperature, no emotion, but it was precisely this that made them look terrifying.
When were they discovered? Or ...... These people are deliberately luring them here!
"Hmm-" There was an extremely strange smell in the air, which Fu Baiman noticed it, and instantly his hair stood up and looked around vigilantly, and a low roar of warning came out of his throat.
"Hee-hee, come on-" A sharp and strange voice suddenly came from the air, the ethereal words seemed to have an irresistible bewitchment, the group of people turned around like puppets, and followed the source of the sound step by step, Ah Li's brain was dizzy, and she bit the tip of her tongue, and the smell of blood permeated her mouth, forcing herself to wake up.
Quietly clenching the contents of his sleeves, he looked at the mechanical backs of the group.
Yuan Yan's eyes were dark, and he bent down silently, and a small piece of gravel between his fingers struck him violently somewhere in the darkness!
"Whoa—" The thing reacted very quickly, only the sound of the leaves swaying, but the stone of Yuan Zhizhi was empty.
"A bold mortal dares to hurt this immortal!"
Ah Li sneered: "But a nameless demon dares to proclaim himself an immortal, and he is not afraid of heavenly punishment!" After finishing the words, Yuan Yanzhi was already holding her and flew up, and the rune paper in her sleeve flew away, that thing was disdainful, but it was scalded by the rune paper!
"Whew!!" The burning pain made it scream, and it hurriedly spread its legs and fled into the depths, but a cat suddenly sprang out from the left side, and the agile body was swooped! That extremely dangerous momentum made it tremble!
"Poof, ahem! What does this smell so stinky! Fu Baiman felt that his brain was dizzy, and he shook his head and was held in his arms by the slave boat behind him, and he kept sneezing.
"That's ...... Skunk, right? Ah Li said sullenly.
It smells so bad......
Yuan Yizhi nodded. It was clear that he was holding his breath.
The group of people was obviously not walking fast, but after a moment of effort, they were gone. The skunk was even more frightened by Fu Baiman and hid in the mountains.
Today's follow-up was a temporary idea, and they didn't prepare anything except rune paper, so it was unrealistic to go back, so they had to continue walking along the mountain road.
However, this time their luck was obviously not very good, and they did not see anyone for a long time, but the wolf howls in the mountains became louder and louder.
"Let's take a break here." Yuan Yanzhi found a slightly higher open space, not as dangerous as in the woods, and would not encounter wolves, sprinkled some insect repellent powder, and a few people sat on the ground and closed their eyes to rest.
Of course, Fu Baiman was curled up in the arms of the slave boat, and she had been sticking to the slave boat so tightly recently, which made the slave boat happy and a little overwhelmed. Ah Li leaned on Yuan Yanzhi's arms, listening to his strong and powerful heartbeat, but she lost sleep.
The moonlight outside was still warm, and she didn't feel cold when she covered Yuan Yanzhi's coat, but her heart was troubled, looking at the small wounds on her fingertips, her thoughts were heavy.
Last time, Wu Ji used that dagger to hurt her, using the resentment of the dead soul to force her to remember the past, and wanted to seal her in the dagger......
Wu Ji, do you know what it's like to lift a stone and shoot yourself in the foot?
She looked at Yuan Yanzhi's quiet sleeping face, her heart hurt fiercely, her throat was bitter, and she couldn't help but lean over and kiss the corner of his mouth, burying her face deep into his arms.
It's dawn.
Ah Li was awakened by the smell of barbecued meat. I don't know when I fell asleep, Nu Zhou and Yuan Yanzhi went to hunt a few wild animals early in the morning, and they were steaming oil on the branches.
"A-Li! Come and eat meat! Fu Baiman was rudely biting the chicken leg in his paws, while not forgetting to greet her vaguely. As soon as Ah Li got up, Yuan Yanzhi handed her the torn rabbit meat. Fu Baiman's gobbling action paused, and he looked at the slave boat very suggestively.
"Huh? What's wrong with Barbarian? No, isn't it delicious? ”
Hum! A big fool who doesn't understand the amorous feelings!
“…… It's delicious! "It's undeniable. 、
"Well, that's pretty ...... eat more."
……
"Uncle! Do you know where the village of the Holy Virgins is? ”
"The village of saints? Haven't heard of it! ”
Ah Li thought for a while, and changed her words: "Is there any place nearby, well, where the incense is strong?" ”
"Incense?" The uncle was startled, and his originally puzzled face turned into disagreement: "You young people, you want to find that ghost village every day without doing anything!" Promise! Just follow this tree! It's not long anywhere else......"
Although I don't understand what the uncle means, I have a direction.
"Why did we listen to her? Why didn't she come by herself? Fu Baiman has always been puzzled by this question, looking at the vast road ahead, he finally asked.
Ah Li smiled: "We have fought many times, and we don't care who comes to the door first." ”
This time, it was eight hundred years of waiting.
I thought that the ghost village would be barren and gloomy, but I didn't want it to be warm and normal. There are still people walking on the dirt roads in the village, greeting each other from time to time.
Suddenly, Ah Li thought that she had arrived in Wu Village. But it's really tight here, many houses are still muddy, and you can't see the cement bungalows outside.
"How many of you are here to worship the statue of the Holy Maiden?" The hoarse voice next to him brought several people back to their senses, and Ah Li smiled: "Yes, uncle, we heard that the saint is very spiritual, and we specially drove over for a long time." ”
"Haha, it's going to take a while, you guys come with me first!"
"Thank you then!"
It seemed that guests like them were accustomed to it, and no one on the road looked at them with surprise or alarm like the villages on the other side of Wanhu Mountain before.
"You kitten is so handsome......" The old man looked at Fu Baiman as he walked. Nu Zhou's heart tightened, and he hid Fu Baiman in the crook of his arm, and looked at the old man with a vigilant face: "This, this is not for sale!" ”
"Haha......"
The old man's house was very clean, and there were still corn and a few bunches of peppers hanging on the beams.
Ah Li looked at it, pointed to the things hanging on it and asked, "Uncle, is this some custom in the village?" ”
Along the way, Ah Li found that there were such things hanging on the beams of every house, which looked like white cloth on the outside, wrapped in something of unknown nature, of different lengths, the short one was not as long as Ah Li's arm, but the long one was longer than Ah Li's whole person.
Yuan Yanzhi hooked his lips and smiled: "It's probably bacon made at home!" ”
"Haha, it's not a custom, it's just some dry goods!"
Don't you take out the dry goods to blow the wind and bask in the sun, so wrapped in something that is not afraid of smelly? Ah Li muttered in her heart, but she didn't ask any more.
"You have a little rest, and then you can worship the Holy Maiden at night!"
Saint...... Ah Li looked at the small puppet on the small cabinet in the room and sneered: "Call someone here and hide behind your back." Wu Ji, your habit of voyeurism really won't change for hundreds of years! ”
"Who are you talking to?" Fu Baiman was tense, but he didn't notice the smell of witch season in the room.
"Bang!" Yuan Yanzhi crushed the puppet without hesitation, and when the powder dissipated, the feeling of being peeped into the room disappeared.
"Be careful, this village is his eyes and ears!"
Fu Baiman and Nu Zhou nodded with serious expressions: "Okay!" ”
From the moment they stepped into the village, they had already entered the territory of Wuji. Those on the outside seemed to be people, but they weren't angry.
Ah Li didn't dare to be careless, so she could only nest in Yuan Yan's arms and wait for dark.
Recently, she has always been sleepy, and she can't help but fall asleep, so she and Yuan Yanzhi talk without a match.
"How did you take me before?"
"You are very well-behaved, you never cry for no reason, at most you hum twice when you are hungry, and hum twice when you are uncomfortable. When I was a child, I took you to the battlefield, and there were a few times when I saw dead people, and you were afraid, but you didn't cry, but you just shrank into my arms. ”
"What else?" These memories were too far away for him to mention, and Ah Li was interested, pestering him to continue listening.
Yuan Yanzhi kissed her lips and said with a smile: "And when you first came to Kwai Shui, you didn't know what it was, you just thought that you had some terrible illness, and you wrote me a unique letter to run away from home, and when you walked to the door in a dirty skirt, you were caught by your grandmother." ”
Ah Li's face was as red as blood: "I, was I so stupid at that time?" ”
"Heh, I'd rather you'd ever be so stupid."
So that I can take you under my wings forever, but I am not strong enough to keep us apart for 800 years.
"I thought that if I could come out one day, I would definitely go to you, go up to the jasper and go down to the yellow spring, no matter where, whether you still remember me or not."
His people have been marked, and they have been his, all their lives.
"A-Li."
"Huh?"
"I once thought that if I arrived at Huangquan first, I would definitely not drink Meng Po soup, I would wait for you, wait next to the Sansheng Stone, time has changed, and my heart will not change."
"And what if I don't remember you and I'm with someone else?"
"You won't." Yuan Yanzhi looked at her firmly: "You can only be with me." It's always mine! ”
Such domineering words, but Ah Li's heart was full of joy when he heard it: "Then you are also mine!" If one day I find out that you are with other women......"
"Huh?"
"I'll make you not a man!"
Yuan Yanzhi smiled, approached the tip of her ear and didn't know what to say, only to see Ah Li's small earlobe getting redder and redder, and punched him angrily: "It's not serious!" ”
The two were talking, and before they knew it, it was already dark outside.
There are no street lights in the village, so when the central side is lit up, it is very conspicuous, but unexpectedly, the expected lively scene is not seen, the doors of the houses are closed, and even the old man who led them is nowhere to be seen.
A tall statue of the Holy Maiden stands in the center, surrounded by torches and a few pillars of incense sticks that are burning vigorously. I don't know what the incense stick is made of, the dark red color is like blood, and it makes people feel numb when they look at it.
Even more striking are the large jars at the foot of the statue of the Holy Maiden, the edges are covered with strange runes, and the water in the jars never stops fluctuating even though there is no wind.
"Be careful, there's something in there."
