Chapter 34: Dance

Seeing the momentum of the villagers, my legs were scared. I thought to myself, why did I agree to Li Yang to do this unlucky thing in a daze. Why do they all do the safest and lightest work, and I am the one who is the front line of cannon fodder?

I don't care, instead of letting the villagers catch and beat them half to death, it's better to go up and love whoever you love.

I stood up and ran out along the wall, but the robe was quite long, and the corners of my clothes were mopping the floor, and I didn't pay attention to stepping on it, and I fell on it solidly.

I only heard someone shouting like thunder in the distance: "**, I saw it, it's really that Bodhisattva." ”

The ranks of the villagers were suddenly in chaos, and I peeked at it, and someone actually took out all the shotguns, and the muzzle of the gun was pointed in my direction. I was so frightened that I grabbed my robe, and ran along the dark wall.

The village chief led everyone to the ancestral hall quickly, and the village elder Yin Tou saw the robe fleeing to the end of the village by the moonlight, he did not rush to chase, but asked Liu Yan with a solemn face: "Child, tell grandpa in detail what happened just now?" ”

Liu Yan kept sobbing and said in a dumb voice unique to a little girl: "Grandpa, when I went home just now, I saw that black Bodhisattva jumping out of the ancestral hall, jumping up and down, it was too scary. ”

Lao Yin Tou instructed: "Dazhu, take the two of you into the ancestral hall to have a look." ”

After a short time, Da Zhu came back with two descendants with pale faces, and stumbled and said, "Old village chief, that Bodhisattva is indeed gone." The child was not wrong. ”

Someone in the team discussed: "Is it a corpse that jumps and jumps, and it becomes a zombie?" ”

Lao Yintou's face could be wrung out of water, he was the oldest old man in the village, and he turned around the door of the ancestral hall twice with his hands behind his back.

Dazhu asked: "Old village chief, are we still chasing?" ”

"Chase!" Old Yin's hair was ruthless: "This thing is likely to become a drought." ”

Everyone looked at each other, no one spoke, and only the "crackling" of torches could be heard in the huge procession.

"What is a marry?" Someone asked.

Old man Yin said: "You descendants, none of you have grown hair, so naturally you have never heard of it." Drought is a kind of zombie, if there is such a monster in any area, there will be a very serious drought, no harvest, and countless deaths. When I was a child, I encountered a natural disaster, it was a three-year natural disaster, the family could not hide grain, the grain harvest was poor, and I also encountered a drought, and every family died, and people were hungry to gnaw the bark of trees and eat loess. This thing is a hoodoo thing, and after being caught, it must be burned with a fire, and the folk call it 'beating the dry bone pile'. ”

Someone was carrying a gun: "Damn, let me see if I have to kill it." ”

"Okay, don't talk nonsense, notify all the men from all families to go out, take the guys who take advantage of it, shovels, pickaxes or whatever, all gather at the door of the ancestral hall, give me a carpet search, and kill the drought when you see it!" Old man Yin ordered.

No one thought that this matter would be so big.

Li Yang and Lao Cao stole the Bodhisattva back and hid it in the car, everyone sat in the dormitory in shock, and saw the crowd outside the window, the torches were transparent, and they were about to get out, Teacher Yin Weiguo ran over, panting and said, "Don't walk around tonight, something big happened in our village." It's too dangerous to get out of the water! ”

The people were restless in the house. Li Yang said worriedly: "Lao Liu has nothing to do." Or I'll go out and answer it. ”

Vice President Li's face was solemn: "Our ability is limited, and you can only mess things up more and more when you go out." Liu Yang, I know it in my heart, he is very clever, and Jiren has his own natural appearance. ”

At this time, I was running wildly under the moonlight, and according to the route set by Liu Yan in advance, I went out of the end of the village, which was a dense forest. The mountains are high and densely forested, all of which are towering trees, and there are many bushes, and the roads are rugged and maze-shaped. According to Liu Yan's statement, don't say that I am alone, when I was fighting Japan, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who hid a company were still playing. The only thing to pay attention to is not to get lost, and you must mark it when you enter the mountains and forests.

Theory always sounds perfect, but I don't know until I run. In terms of terrain familiarity, how can I compare to the villagers. In particular, these people are also leading rural dogs. The largest of these big dogs can be the height of a child, with a long tongue, yellow hair, and an amazing momentum. There was a wild bark in the direction I was running.

The search party was full of sturdy men, carrying pickaxes and shovels and burning torches, and pursued towards the end of the village.

Out of the village, I ran along the sheep intestine path, and then turned my head, and the torches still reflected in the sky. Someone shouted, "The zombies are ahead, I saw them just now." , grab it and burn it! ”

Cold sweat broke out on my head, my heart was pounding wildly, and I felt a cramp in my legs. I took off my robe, threw it down the cliff, and plunged headlong into the bushes, where I did. The branches of the tree cut through my hands. After climbing for a while, I stopped, and looked out through the crack in the tree, and in the distance, the light ball torches, as bright as day, and the search army stopped where I had just been.

A group of big dogs barked. Someone shouted: "The robe is at the bottom of the mountain, and the drought has jumped off the cliff." ”

I breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that you should hurry down the mountain and chase after you, and when you are gone, I will get out.

I vaguely heard Old Man Yin say, "No, why is the robe motionless." Wrong! Big pillar, let the dog get out of the way, smell me! ”

There was no one in the group below for a moment, and I was too far away to see the situation. In the nervousness, he held on to the big tree, his teeth rattled, and his legs were numb. At this time, there was a sudden barking of dogs, and someone shouted: "Old village chief, you are so powerful, that drought fish is really hiding in the woods." ”

Old man Yin was also a little proud: "I have eaten more salt than you have eaten." Pursue! Damn, this is running this god. Descendants, I'll show you how I defeated the cow ghost and snake god in a moment. ”

The torches flickered, the voices of people talking to each other buzzed, and the barking of dogs could be heard from afar.

I didn't care much, so I got into the bushes and walked in a mess, and I couldn't tell the direction. After running for a while, I came back to my senses, and I should take advantage of this chaos to take a detour back to the village. But now it is impossible to find the way back, and when you look up, it is all dense and tall and short trees.

I was scared into a cold sweat, and it was the end of me if I got lost.

I took a few deep breaths and told myself to be calm, I looked up at the sky, and tonight I don't know why, the moon hung high in the sky, as bright as a silver plate, and it looked like the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. According to common sense, I was about to go to the North Star to look for directions, when I suddenly heard a drum beat from the mountain.

The drum sound has a strong sense of rhythm, with ups and downs, high and low, and it feels like it's near, but it's far away.

I don't know why, this drum sound sounds a little familiar, and I subconsciously feel that it is very dangerous. It's like a poisonous snake coiled in the dark, although you can't see it, but the sense of vicious depression swells all over the body.

I crept cautiously through the woods, the drumming drew nearer, and I lay down on a dirt bag on a high place, trembling apart the branches, and looking down from above.

In the dense forest below, there is a clearing, and a dressing mirror hangs on the tree next to the clearing, and a person sits in front of the mirror, combing his hair in the mirror.

The man was wearing a bright red gown, covering his body tightly, and wearing a red mask on his face. Because my back is to the hillside, I can't see what the mask looks like. But it was certain that this should be a woman, she sat sideways on the ground, her long group robes spread out, and her figure could be seen to be graceful, and most importantly, she had long black hair.

It looks a lot like a Japanese costume drama, a concubine in the shogunate era.

With a comb in her hand, she combed her hair in front of the mirror, gently and gently. The moonlight fell on her, and I almost screamed when I saw it, and I don't know if it was a visual gap or a psychological suggestion, but I saw that her body was slowly emitting black gas outward.

The black air enveloped her, and it looked like a figure blown away. Imagine a person made of smoke and dust, and a gust of wind blows, and this person blows apart but not messy. Let's say it's not a person, it's also slightly humanoid, twisted and deformed, very terrifying.

The woman's next move stunned me.

At first, I didn't pay attention, but as soon as the woman stood up, I noticed a huge talisman drawn in the clearing. This picture makes full use of the dead grass and stones on the ground to form a pattern similar to a ghost painting, with a complex structure and a strange composition, and the moonlight shines on it like water, which looks very bold.

Seeing this picture, I peed. I've seen this picture before, and the first time I've seen it is depicted in a stick figure of Luo Fengchengxian's notes, and she carved this strange pattern on herself. The second time was at the gate of the Yin-Yang Temple, when Master Xie helped the little boy ascend to immortality. I don't know exactly what this picture is, but I know that this picture is a very important thing needed in the autopsy ceremony.

The woman walked slowly to the picture, and somewhere took out a tambourine from her body, and danced as she struck it, and began to circle along the picture.

I watched with bated breath, I didn't dare to breathe, and I clutched the soil on the ground with both hands, for fear that I would cry out.

The drums "dongdong" sounded, the red group robe on the woman's body danced with long sleeves, and the red mask on her face was weird and inexplicable, in the moonlight, it really looked like a ghost.

The black qi emanating from her body gradually condensed and formed, becoming a black shadow, standing in the depths of the dense forest, standing quietly, watching the woman dance like a human.

Drums, dark shadows, figures, witch dances......

I watched the whole body cold, and I can basically confirm that the woman dancing below is Master Hong Chen.

How did she get here? Is it all the way to the track? What is her purpose here? Looking at the scene in front of him, it was very much like doing the immortal ascension ceremony of autopsy into immortals. Where did she know about this kind of spell?

I don't know how long I jumped, but my blood froze while I was lying there, and I didn't dare to move. I had a hunch that if I was found by her, I would definitely die without a place to bury.

After jumping, Master Hong Chen, who was wearing a red grimace mask, walked step by step to the big tree with mirrors hanging on it. By the light of the moon, I saw a rope tied to the branches. Hong Chen looked up at the sky and opened his arms, as if he wanted to embrace the moon. The mountain wind suddenly rose, blowing her clothes fluttering.

Her next move was even more incredible.

She stood on a high stone and slowly put her neck into the rope.
