Sure enough, it didn't take long for the fog to gradually dissipate, and a small path appeared in front of me.

Xu Hongyi stepped on the path, Ye Zifan followed, and he didn't go far before a stone gate archway appeared.

There are several quaint seal characters written on the archway, Ye Zifan does not know, it is estimated that it is the name of the village.

Passing through the stone gate is a wide and flat road paved with stones.

While the two were walking, Xu Hongyi talked about the origin of the village, and Ye Zifan knew that the village was called Lingyin Village. It has existed in the world hundreds of years ago, and the villagers have been raising Gu to drive away Gu for a living for generations.

There is a kind of Gu worm in the village called Birth Gu, which can help men conceive offspring, Gu worms implanted in the body will change the physique of the pregnant person, and after excreting the substance equivalent to an egg and combining with the sperm of the other party, it will form an organ similar to a woman's **, which is used to carry and give birth to new life. Because it is formed by Gu worms, and there is no woman's birth canal, when the baby is ripe and falls, there is no way out, and it needs to be cut to give birth.

A hundred years ago, medicine was not developed, and there was no such thing as a caesarean section, and men who wanted to have children would eventually open their abdomen and take out the baby. Exchanging big lives for small lives, such a cruel method, but it didn't stop those infatuated men.

Men and men fall in love with each other, which is contrary to ethics and is not accepted by the world. It is even more appalling to conceive an heir in the body of a man, the world regards the villagers as demons, and they want to get rid of it as soon as possible, the priest at that time had no choice but to live in seclusion, and even sealed the birth of the child, and from then on the men in the village were not allowed to give birth to children.

Most of the people in the village are men, and since a hundred years, they have not excluded men and men from falling in love, and the population of the village is decreasing day by day without giving birth to Gu and reproducing children.

After the reform and opening up, medical technology has developed rapidly. In order to ensure that the population of the village would not become extinct day by day, the birth Gu was allowed to be used again, but there were strict regulations.

It's not that the Birth Gu is so precious, it's just that once it is implanted, it is equivalent to planting a chronic poison.

If you are conceived against the sky and violate the laws of human survival, how can you not pay a heavy price.

The birth Gu that has conceived an offspring will not be excreted from the body on its own, and there are no drugs or appliances that can eliminate it.

After the birth Gu plays the role of giving birth to an heir, in order to maintain its own growth, it will continue to devour the essence in the body of the Gu recipient, until the organs fail, and no longer can provide nutrients, then it will be poisoned and violently killed.

Even if you dodge a catastrophe during childbirth, you will die violently when the poison occurs.

For this reason, several generations of elders of the village traditional Chinese medicine bureau have worked hard to develop a method to restrain Gu poison in order to use the essence and blood of the two people as medicine.

This is why the two people who seek medicine need to pass various tests to get the rule of giving birth to a child, one is to be able to remove the Gu poison in the body in the future, and the other is to warn future generations to avoid disasters caused by impulse.

Lingyin Village has always lived in seclusion, retaining the original village rules and habits. However, there is no restriction on the freedom of the villagers, and they can choose whether to leave the village and go to the city when they become adults.

Maizi and Xu Hongyi left the village and walked into the city when they were eighteen years old, and that was the year Maizi met Ye Zifan.

Because of Ye Zifan's joke "If you will have a child, I will marry you".

Maizi moved his heart to steal the birth of a child Gu and give birth to a child for the man he loved.

After listening to Xu Hongyi's narration, Ye Zifan clenched his fists and strengthened his determination to pass the trial.

He is not a person who mourns the past, and the mistakes of the past will not help even if he makes a mistake and laments himself.

After Ye Zifan understood the origin of the village and the beginning and end of the matter, he said to Xu Hongyi: "Let's hurry into the village, pass the trial as soon as possible, so that Maizi can recover as soon as possible." ”

The eagerness in Ye Zifan's eyes made Xu Hongyi feel a little frustrated, and he said with a bad stimulus: "You really can't wait, I can tell you that the trial is not as simple as you imagined." It's still too late to turn back, and if you really enter the temple, there is no room for repentance! ”

Ye Zifan's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at Xu Hongyi with a smile: "I said Xu Hongyi, don't stimulate me, I, Ye Zifan, am not scared!" A small trial, not to mention, is like the tiger's den in Longtan and the hell. Even if it's as dangerous as you say, isn't there still someone who passes the trial? ”

"That's all I say, since you've made up your mind, let's go!" Xu Hongyi smiled incomprehensibly, and that smile looked a little weird.

By this time, the sun had completely set, and the street lamps standing high on both sides of the road glowed faintly yellow.

Ye Zifan looked around, and now at most at seven o'clock in the evening, there are no villagers who have come and gone.

"Hey, why didn't Xu Hongyi see the villagers!"

Xu Hongyi looked back at him, and the dim light of the street lamp cast on his face, which actually showed a bit of calmness.

"Why are you scared?"

Ye Zifan sneered: "Come on, it's just pretending to be a ghost." ”

Xu Hongyi smiled and didn't refute, the two walked all the way along the avenue, and after walking for about an hour, the rows of villages came into view.

Ye Zifan urged impatiently: "Xu Hongyi, where is the wheat?" ”

"I guess you won't see wheat today!" Xu Hongyi said as he walked.

Ye Zifan's face was displeased, he naturally came to the village to make sure of Maizi's comfort first, so that he could prepare for the trial with peace of mind, but why didn't Xu Hongyi let him see Maizi? What exactly is he hiding?

Ye Zifan asked in a deep voice, "Xu Hongyi, what do you mean?" Is the wheat in the village or not? ”

"Let's go to the temple and see the priest first!" Xu Hongyi walked along the path in the village and into the depths of the village.

Ye Zifan was full of doubts, but he had nothing to do, so he could only follow his arrangement.

Walking into the village, Ye Zifan found that Lingyin Village was not as poor as he imagined, although the houses in the village were relatively old, and the furnishings were simple and luxurious.

Take the one that the two of them just passed by, through the gap in the door, Ye Zifan vaguely saw some modern electrical facilities in the main room, these were not surprising to him, the low table where the TV was put was yellow rosewood, just a little big and small, the price was absolutely amazing.

Ye Zifan sighed and exclaimed: "Xu Hongyi, didn't you say that the village is isolated from the world and there is no external receiving cable, so how is it electrified?" ”

"The village has its own power generation and communication equipment, which only covers the entire village." Xu Hongyi replied.

"And what do the villagers do for a living?"

After all, modern society has developed science and technology, and it is no longer necessary to use the magic of raising Gu and driving away Gu, but the village is labeled as rich everywhere, which makes Ye Zifan a little confused.

"What? What do you understand these for? ”

Seeing Xu Hongyi selling Guanzi, Ye Zifan snorted disdainfully.

It wasn't until late at night that he walked out of the village, and Ye Zifan was shocked to realize that the coverage of Lingyin Village was so large.

With such advanced modern technology, radar, satellites and other detection equipment have not been able to detect the existence of the village, and this Lingyin Village is full of mystery and strangeness.

The hall that appears in front of you is three stories high, the red wall is made of glazed tiles, the four corners of the top of the hall are raised high and hang a wind chime each, the wind bell rings, and the pleasant sound dyes a little softness for the magnificent and solemn palace.

The wind stopped, and the temple became more mysterious and quiet surrounded by heavy black.

Ye Zifan walked closer and looked up, there was a black golden silk nanmu plaque hanging on the top of the red vermilion lacquer gate, on which the dragon flying and the phoenix danced with three simple seal characters.

Ye Zifan turned his head to look at Xu Hongyi beside him: "This is the temple?" ”

Xu Hongyi nodded solemnly: "It's here, let's go in!" ”

The two pushed the door into the inner hall through the bluestone road carved by the lotus stone, the hall was as bright as day, and the four corners of each hung a goose egg-sized pearl was emitting a faint light.

The east and west walls of the main hall are painted with beautiful and smooth lines, bright and clear colors.

The characters in the painting are dressed in a foreign and ancient style.

In the painted painting on the east wall, the man in the white robe has a lofty expression and an ethereal posture, holding a bowl of large golden bells, his arms raised above his head, and his elbows slightly bent to make a rattle. Countless black insects flew out from the bell mouth, and the layers were like black mist.

In the painted painting on the west wall, the man is holding the baby with a happy face, and the other man on the bed next to him has his eyes closed and looks serene, but he is covered in blood, and the flesh and blood in his belly are flying.

Ye Zifan frowned, the murals in this temple were strange and bloody, and the original palace was even more mysterious and forested.

At this time, a young man in black walked out of the hall, and after seeing the two of them, he said: "Doctor Xu, the priest has instructed that it is getting late today, so the two of you will rest in the guest room of the apse for one night first, and then come back tomorrow for the trial." ”

The two of them entered the mountain at noon, and it was almost late at night, and they were already hungry and exhausted after a long journey.

Xu Hongyi and Ye Zifan followed the man in black into the guest room of the apse.

The rooms are furnished in a simple and elegant manner, full of antique charm, and furnished with many modern facilities and electrical appliances.

The man in black prepared the meal, and after the two washed up, they hurriedly ate some food, and then went back to their rooms to rest.

Ye Zifan stood by the window and looked at the bright moon hanging high in the dark night sky, and couldn't help but wonder if the current wheat was also standing under the window and looking up at the bright moon like him.

How is he now? Will Gu poison still attack?

Tomorrow's result is still unknown, success or not is directly related to the future of Maizi, these complicated thoughts rise and fall, stirring Ye Zifan's restlessness.

After a sleepless night, when the sky was white, Ye Zifan was still standing at the window.

The door was pushed open, Xu Hongyi looked at the tough and upright figure, sighed slightly, and said, "It's almost time, let's go over!" ”

Ye Zifan turned his head, his face was not tired from sleepless nights, and his phoenix eyes shone brightly.

The two of them had breakfast first and came to the lobby of the front hall.

The man in black from last night was already waiting in the main hall, and after seeing the two of them, he said, "Mr. Ye, please wait, the priest will be here." Dr. Xu, please follow me into the apse. ”

Xu Hongyi followed the man in black into the apse, and Ye Zifan stood alone in the empty hall.

White smoke rose from the incense burner in front, and a faint fragrance permeated the hall.

Airplanes!

The abnormal sound came into his ears, and Ye Zifan's upright body shook suddenly, and the scene imprinted into his eyes gradually distorted.

In the aisle connecting the apse and the front hall, there are two figures, quietly looking at Ye Zifan in the hall.

Ye Zifan's body trembled slightly for a few moments before returning to calm, but there was a bit of sadness in his expression.
