Chapter 231: Ethereal
"So what do we do now? Do you take the initiative or sit back and wait? ”
Ye Jinyan asked Xue Shenxing's opinion, but she already had an idea in her heart, even if he didn't agree, she would go to the door of life and death.
Xue Shenxing looked at Ye Jinyan with blazing eyes, and a light smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Don't you already have ideas now?" Why bother asking me? ”
At a glance, he had already seen through her thoughts, Ye Jinyan was in a trance, and thought that he would definitely refuse, but when he thought of today's attitude, he had changed.
"Then it is decided, and when the time comes, we will go together, disguised as servants who deliver sacrifices."
After Ye Jinyan finished saying this, the sinking stone in his heart also fell.
After leaving this room, he fell into a long silence, Xue Shenxing looked at the candlelight, looking at its flickering firelight, quite distracted.
Whether to go or not is not something he can decide now.
The next day, after the sacrificial things were prepared, the elders of the clan began to perform the sacrificial rites.
All of these things crossed a mountain and entered the Gate of Life and Death, and inside the Gate of Life and Death, there were many mysterious people wearing masks to guard the door, and no villager dared to take a step closer there.
There were also people in the clan who wanted to explore the secrets, but before they could get into the door, they were already killed by the killers inside the door of life and death.
And only on the day of the sacrifice, all the sacrifices and babies will be sent to the door of life and death.
Those people will come out to hand over, but the people in the clan are still not allowed to take a step in, and it is estimated that the precautions inside are also very strict.
And it is difficult for Ye Jinyan and Xue Shenxing to get in, the people who exchange sacrifices can only guard at the door, and there are still people from the door of life and death who bring things in, and Huzi has also become a member of this sacrifice.
Ye Jinyan looked at Huzi wearing a veil, frowning, he must bring Huzi out safely.
"Your Excellency has an order today! Pick a few more people to go in! A man in a black trench robe* said in the doorway.
He also wore a mask like that raksha on his face, which looked extremely terrifying, and the eerie and terrifying aura emanating from his body made people feel creepy.
And as soon as the big guy heard him say that he was going to pick a few raw people to go in, he was immediately silent.
Ye Jinyan and Xue Shenxing looked at each other, and then took a step, this man saw the two of them like this, although he was satisfied in his heart, but he also had doubts.
None of the people who went in could come out alive, or they were servants who served the people of the door of life and death all their lives, otherwise it would be difficult to get out, and the two of them wanted to join in on their own, which couldn't help but make him wonder.
I didn't have time to think about it, the two leaders were still urging, so I let these two people pull a few more people in.
Huzi recognized Ye Jinyan, but didn't shout.
Obediently walked in with the group of people, the hole of this door of life and death is very wide, once the iron door at the door is closed, it is difficult to escape, unless it touches the mechanism inside.
Ye Jinyan had silently memorized the route in his heart, although it was dark all around, he could feel that the surroundings were wet, and it should be in a very dark environment.
Just a few steps away, I suddenly heard a woman's oops, and it turned out that someone had fallen in front of me.
And when the people inside the gate of life and death saw someone falling, they immediately came over and beat her severely.
"You waste, you can't even walk, pull down!"
In this way, the woman's cry slowly disappeared, and Ye Jinyan felt a burst of surprise in her heart.
Gradually, there was already light in front of me, and the place inside was more spacious, but the atmosphere was also more eerie.
Xue Shenxing gave her a look, and Ye Jinyan knew that he told him not to walk around, and they were divided into two teams.
Ye Jin lowered her head in a respectful manner, and when the maid on the side knelt down, a lazy female voice came down on the stage.
"I brought a little tribute, how can I eat it?"
Hearing this voice, Ye Jinyan chuckled in his heart, why is this voice so familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere?
When she raised her eyes again, her face was shocked. forced himself to calm down, in order not to show any clues, so he buried his head tightly.
"If you go back to the master, the harvest of that Miao Village this year is not very good, and the Gu sent is not the best Gu King."
The woman's voice sounded soft and weak, but it was obvious that there was a feminine murderous aura in it.
Ning Peishan sat up straight, the lazy intention slowly retreated, and looked at a few new servants, so she chuckled, "You all lift your heads for me." ”
Ye Jinyan bit her lip stiffly, and before she could raise her head, the woman beside Ning Peishan had already taken out a dagger from her cuff and was about to stab Ning Peishan in the chest.
But Ning Peishan seemed to have expected it, so she quickly grabbed her wrist and plunged her knife into her chest.
The blood slowly flowed down the woman's wrist, soaking into the top of the garment, and a blood-colored red plum blossomed.
Everyone held their breath and remained silent.
Ning Peishan held her hand around her neck again, and with a click, the person's head and body had already separated. He threw it aside, flicked his sleeves and looked down at everyone and said, "This is what you want to do to assassinate me, I know what you are thinking." ”
She has never had any pity for these people, and her head rolled to the side, and her eyes were still staring straight at Ye Jinyan's direction.
"Everyone else will take me down, Ansheng should do his duty, and your fate will not be so miserable!"
Ning Peishan finished her cold voice and commanded, her tone was tired, as if she was a little tired from speaking, so she stood up.
Ye Jinyan breathed a sigh of relief, and when she saw Ning Peishan passing by her, she quickly lowered her head.
It seemed that she didn't find herself, but when she was about to look up, she found that Ning Peishan was suddenly standing in front of her again, and that terrifying gaze made Ye Jinyan's heart cold.
Ning Peishan smiled, but the smile was extremely terrifying, with a hint of appreciation, and with a hint of killing, looking at Ye Jinyan's eyes full of fun.
"Is that you?" She helped Ye Jinyan up, and said with a smile, "I've been looking for you for a long time, but I didn't expect to meet you here, it's really a gift from God." ”
"How did you end up being the master of some kind of life and death in this place?" Ye Jinyan asked calmly, anyway, the two of them used to be people who knew the roots.
