Chapter 13 Mezzanine

Xiao Yin is standing at the point of choice in his life at the moment, and the remarks in Mo Lan's carriage just now may just be a hot heart, but now that he sees the Gu process that really happened to me, he needs to face this problem more realistically.

"I'm ......" he looked around in horror and began to retreat unconsciously. It's no wonder that Xiao Yin is cowardly and timid, anyone will be restless in this situation

Since it was early in the morning, the surrounding leaves were covered with dew, and through the reflection of the sun, Xiao Yin seemed to see something in the water.

It was his face, a decadent, bloated face, a mass programmer's face.

He was suddenly stunned for a moment, his face seemed to be a terrible shadow, and the hesitation in his eyes collapsed and disintegrated in an instant, replaced by a determination and longing that he had never felt before.

"I'm going to change myself, I need the protection of the gods, come on, start the ritual."

Chunlan nodded, then pointed in the direction of the bamboo building, motioning for us all to follow.

At this moment, I focused my attention on the three bamboo buildings behind the girls, which were hidden behind dense orchids, and at a glance they were indeed similar to the Dai bamboo buildings we saw in the magazine photos, but as I got closer, I slowly felt that this was not a traditional bamboo building.

The Dai bamboo building is a classic form of Chinese dwelling, which is the inherent Ganqi style architecture of the Dai people. The lower level is elevated, with no sheltered fences, and livestock are tied to posts. There is a terrace near the staircase on the upper floor, which is transformed into a long room, separated by a bamboo fence from the master bedroom and an important money storage area; The rest are large open rooms, the roof is not very high, the sides are sloping, the eaves reach the floor slab, and there are generally no windows. Although the bamboo building in front of us is also made of bamboo, it is also stored overhead below and closed living above, but one thing is completely different from the bamboo building of the Dai nationality, the bamboo building of the Dai nationality is two floors up and down, and these bamboo buildings are three floors up and down, compared with the ordinary bamboo building, there is one more layer of mezzanine, the outer layer of the mezzanine is surrounded by dense bamboo knots, but it maintains enough gaps, it looks like a cage from a distance, and it exudes a faint light.

"Mo Lan, why do you feel that your bamboo building is a little special, what is in that middle mezzanine?" I asked curiously.

"Our bamboo building is an additional layer on the basis of the Dai bamboo building, and the mezzanine in the middle is actually the place where the ceremony is carried out, because the orchid itself is a relatively fragile flower, which is very demanding on the environment, and the survival conditions of the orchid Gu are more stringent, especially the requirements for light." Mo Lan patiently explained to me. "You see the bamboo knots outside the mezzanine, we put them according to a certain law, the purpose is to create a special light environment."

There are no stairs leading to the mezzanine itself, so we need to walk to the three-story house first, and then climb down a small hole, stepping on the narrow wooden ladder, the sound of creaking and creaking one after another, and the slightly trembling ground makes people's hearts even more worried.

When the body fully enters the mezzanine, I will feel that the sudden darkness makes the eyes a little sore, and this step into the step is like being in a world of light and shadow, through the sunlight scattered in the bamboo knots, I can only recognize the arrangement and assembly in it.

A large box sits on a table with a strange shape, a regular hexagon. There are also three small plates in front of the box, in which are placed the offerings. The large mezzanine consisted only of one table, one box, and three small plates, but the simplicity of it was beyond my expectations.

Mo Lan let go of the hand that had been holding me, and then slowly followed her four sisters to the table, each standing at the midpoint of the edge of the table, and the five girls just formed a regular phalanx.

"Xiao Yin, come to the front." Chunlan called expressionlessly.

Xiao Yin didn't hesitate this time, he followed to the front of the table without squinting, and happened to occupy the empty side of the table. It blends in with the formation of the five girls.

"I'm ready, let's get started."

Although he said it decisively, the five girls were not in a hurry to start the ritual, and they could clearly feel that there should be a series of preparations before this ceremony. "Xiao Yin, don't be in a hurry, eat the sacrifices in the first three small plates."

I took a closer look at the plates, and realized that these sacrifices were extraordinary, with a reptile in each of the three plates. Some resemble centipedes, while others have wings. I know that eating bugs is a common thing in Miao Jiang's life, but for someone who has never tried it, it is really a disgusting and disgusting picture.

Xiao Yin gently picked up the three insects, stuffed them all in his mouth at once, and then bit them violently, and rich juice splashed out of his mouth. He couldn't care about the nausea at the moment, closed his eyes and swallowed the three insects, and then the whole person lay on the floor and pinched his throat to suppress the upside-down gastric juice.

"These three insects are to build an environment suitable for the survival of the orchid Gu in the body, otherwise if the orchid Gu dies during the planting process, it will be no different from being highly poisonous, and you will also die on the spot." Mo Lan comforted with a little worry. "Please hold on."

As soon as the words were spoken, the five maidens returned to their places and began to dance, accompanied by a wonderful spell.

The treasure box suddenly popped open by itself with the sound of singing, and a faint white light emanated from it, and the entire gloomy mezzanine was illuminated in an instant.

I don't know how to describe the scene in front of me, it was a very wonderful light reaction, and the light in the box slanted out like a rope tightly binding Xiao Yin.

Only then did I realize that this was not the light generated in the box, but because there was mottled sunlight in the mezzanine itself, which happened to shine on the dust particles that flew out of the box, so a huge light wave was formed, and seeing that all the dust flowed into Xiao Yin's body, he began to howl wildly.

"Ahh Xiao Yin's whole body was flushed, as if he was suffering from an acute allergy, and then he covered his chest hard and began to roll left and right on the ground. "Liu Quan, save me!"

I hurriedly ran over to help him, and found that he was as hot as fire, and I touched his arm lightly, and a layer of blisters formed on the palm of my hand.

"Mo Lan, what's going on?"

"You stay away from him, now the orchid Gu is growing in his body, just like a plant about to take root in the soil, the process will be extremely painful, but you must not interfere with him, otherwise he will die at any time." Mo Lan shouted at me, his tone not allowing for doubt.
