Chapter 12: The Curse
The general meaning of this diary is that the whole village is cursed, and the villagers are trapped here without dying and not being able to escape. The curse begins here whenever the moon appears, and the place where the hundred ghosts walk through the night is not a single grass, and the people of the village die in pain in the middle of the night, and then come back to life at dawn. Over the millennium, it has been repeated over and over again, becoming more and more inhuman. The village chief has discovered that every time the moon appears, one person in the village will disappear and will not be reborn, so he speculates that the person who disappears is the key to the night walk of the hundred ghosts, and as long as the key is destroyed before the moon appears, nothing will happen.
It's just that an accident has happened, the arrival of a few of our uninvited guests has caused the magnetic field to vibrate, and the time of the moon's appearance may have come earlier.
In the past few days, the village has not held a sacrificial ceremony, but an inventory of the so-called key, and once the key appears, it will be sacrificed to the sky by the villagers. According to the diary, the moon will appear four days later, which means that it is only three days away.
After reading it, Chen Mo pursed his lips tightly, his face was serious, although he usually had a serious face, but it was still different from this time.
"Is something wrong?"
"I suspect that our arrival not only changed the magnetic field, but perhaps the key changed from the villagers to us. Just in case, you must pay attention to whether you are different. ”
After listening to Chen Mo's words, I unconsciously stroked my waist through my clothes, and everyone was checking to see if there was anything different on my body.
"The key... Looks like it's me. I pretended to be calm and said, but my heart was extremely nervous, I didn't expect this black handprint to be so serious, and everyone's eyes were focused on me in an instant.
Chen Mo and Bai Luoyang, the two big men, I was embarrassed to lift my clothes to show them, so I called Yan Qi to walk into the cave together and showed her the black handprints there.
After lifting my clothes, I was stunned for a moment, "There was only one." At this time, there was another one next to the original handprint.
Yan Qi carefully observed the two black handprints, and after about a few minutes, she frowned, "I'm sorry, I can't see what this thing is, if you can ask the immortal to let my master take a look, his old man must know." ”
"I'll come."
When I heard this, I walked from the entrance of the cave against the light, wearing armor like a hero, and I was stunned for a moment.
When I reacted, the person had already walked in front of me, and the man who was a head taller than me was half-kneeling in front of me at this time, and his cold fingertips touched my waist, and I flinched back unconsciously.
"Don't move." As he spoke, Si Ye firmly grabbed my waist with his other hand, and I couldn't move for half a minute.
Si Ye watched it for about three or five minutes, and while watching it, he scraped it with his fingertips, which made me very embarrassed, and in just a few minutes, I felt that my days were like years, and I looked down at Si Ye's well-defined face, and I fell into memories again in a trance.
With the same armor, the same sword, and the same posture, Si Ye knelt in front of me like this, and said to me sincerely and sincerely, "The minister is always willing to bow down to the princess." ”
Behind her was the yellow sand and neatly arranged soldiers, and Si Ye knelt in front of her like a god of war.
"It's a corpse." The cold voice brought me back to my senses, and Si Ye had already finished checking.
"I've heard my master say a method, but I don't know if it can be used."
"What law?"
Bai Luoyang leaned weakly against the corner of the wall, his lips and face were sickly white because of the injury and blood loss.
"Since it was the people below who wanted her life, she deceived the people below and took people to confuse the truth."
"But you also said that the people below asked me by name, and I must be born to get through the trick, but it is difficult to find a person who matches my eight characters in this sparsely populated place."
Bai Luoyang's words gave me some hope, but when I think about it, I have extinguished this hope with a basin of cold water, not to mention how difficult it is to find one with the same character among the billions of people in the real world, it can be described as a fantasy to find one in this village of less than a hundred people, and presumably these monsters who are not human or ghost have long forgotten their birthdays, and they can't rely on Bai Luoyang to touch them one by one.
Bai Luoyang smiled mysteriously, "I didn't say that it must be a living person." ”
"What's going on?"
"Paper people." Si Ye, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.
Seeing that I was confused, he explained, "Bai Luoyang's method is to tie a dummy, stick the talisman with your birthday on him, and then use your blood to feed him for an hour or two, and finally cast a trick to confuse the real with the false." ”
Just do it, Yan Qi and Chen Mo secretly sneaked into the village to find pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and prepared to make a dummy for me right away.
"This place has been forgotten for too long, and the things are still brought by the dynasties of the parties concerned, and what I found is basically all of them. But it's enough. ”
Because I was targeted by a nameless ghost, if there was no trace of yin qi on my body, so the matter of being a paper man naturally fell on Yan Qi's head, she tore the paper in front of her while nourishing it with yin qi, and finally pasted my birthday eight characters, and used my blood to point a little bit on the paper man's eyebrows, and the paper man came to life.
I don't know whether to praise Yan Qi or Qi Yan Qi, a sacrificial paper man is free to do it for the better, but she does it with a nose and eyes, the paper man lit two blushes, looked at me with a smile, as if he had a soul, and he was mad.
"Do you like it? I'll make one for you. ”
Seeing that I was staring at the paper figure and not letting go, Si Ye misunderstood my intentions, and sketched with his fingertips from the leftover paper scraps, and an ultra-mini paper figure appeared in front of me.
It's not so much a paper man as a paper man, about the size of my palm, and it can still move!
It jumped on my shoulder and rubbed my neck affectionately, which was a thousand times cuter than what Yan Qi did!
"I've put telekinesis on it, and I can block the ghost's blow for you."
Si Ye watched me and the paper man frolicking, with a smile in his long narrow eyes, the atmosphere was rare and peaceful at this time, if only it could be kept like this...
When night fell again, I threw the little paper figure into the space to play with Dada, and followed Si Ye to the village for a walk.
If you ignore the weirdness of the countryside, the trail here is still very comfortable, through the dark clouds as if to see the glimmer of the moon, in order to prevent something from coming out on the side of the road, I and Si Ye are very close, fingertips from time to time and Si Ye bump together, Si Ye's big hand directly wrapped, although cold but bring a sense of security, this is the first time in more than 20 years that I hold hands with boys, and the night is red faced.
"Qingluan, you're shy." Si Ye's voice came with a smile.
My face blushed even more, and I secretly complained in my heart that I was not angry, Si Ye was a ghost, even in the night, I could definitely see that my face was as red as a monkey's ass.
"Si Ye, I seem to have found a little memory of the past today, I remember that you were an invincible general, but you surrendered to my feet."
Hearing me say this, Si Ye was not embarrassed and angry, but he stopped and knelt down on one knee again on the country road, "Not only before, even if it is thousands of years, I will always only surrender to you." ”
At this time, I didn't know how affectionate Si Ye said this, and I didn't know that he was once the king of the northwest who didn't even have to kneel as an emperor, but he told me about his love from a thousand years ago to the present.
