Fucheng is very large, out of the city to the south, is the Mianshan District.

If you go to the west, it is Tai'an District, Tai'an District has a buried county, and the westernmost part of buried county is Xianyang Village.

Further west of Xianyang Village, out of the Fucheng area, is completely a continuous ancient mountain forest, with no traces of modern development.

Buried County is mediocre, but there are some sayings in Xianyang Village inside.

That is also the origin of the name of Xianyang Village.

Legend has it that hundreds of years ago, the people who fled from the north were displaced all the way to Burshan County.

But the fertile land in Burshan County has long been occupied, and the remaining place simply cannot support so many refugees.

Seeing a group of people tired, hungry and on the verge of death, a black sheep suddenly appeared.

It didn't scream, its long pupils stared straight at the group of refugees.

As if enchanted, the group of refugees began to follow it in a trance.

By the time I stopped, I had already reached the boundary of beautiful mountains and rivers!

A group of refugees were overjoyed, settled here, and named Xianyang Village after the black sheep that led the way.

Of course, the creature of sheep has also become a sacred object worshiped by the villagers of Xianyang Village.

Even Xianyang Village will hold a triennial sheep festival.

The lucky ones who are chosen will wear sheep's horns and sheep's fur to be sheep immortals for three days.

August 19th.

Tomorrow is the triennial Sheep Festival.

The villagers of Xianyang Village gathered together to sing and dance, and each family served a dish, and set up a long banquet that stretched for 100 meters.

This is indeed a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, similar to the Peach Blossom Spring, surrounded by mountains on all sides, there is only one winding dirt road that can enter the village, the road is bumpy and uneven, and the average driver does not dare to go at all.

So even though it has a unique style, it still doesn't have a good reputation.

The Sheep Festival lasts for three days, and within these three days, the entire Xianyang Village has issued a death order, all villagers must be present, and they are not allowed to leave the village, and the ban can only be lifted after the Sheep Festival is held.

It's hard to imagine that there will be such a feudal patriarchal style in modern society, but this is the reality of remote villages, and the words of the village chief are even more effective than the law.

However, that night, outside the fairy sheep ancestral hall in the village, a sneaky figure appeared.

His name is Chen Ping, and he is one of the few young people in the village who has been admitted to university and walked out of the mountains.

Chen Ping has a higher education, and when he was in the village before, he didn't think there was anything, but now that he has gone out to college, he feels that this Sheep Festival is a little weird.

His mother had been chosen to be a sheep fairy for the Sheep Festival, and according to the village elders, the lucky ones who were chosen could make a wish, as long as they were not too greedy, and it would generally come true.

At that time, his mother's wish was that he would be able to successfully enter university.

And so strange things happened.

Chen Ping, who has always been stubborn and has no interest in learning, actually completed junior high school and high school smoothly as if he had suddenly opened his mind, and was really admitted to a key university!

But just after he was admitted to college, his mother died.

Chen Ping was able to be admitted to university, at least his IQ was fine, and he soon realized that his mother's death was like in some works of art, after making a wish to some evil gods, he had to pay other prices.

In addition, since he was a child, he has a strong personality and strong action, after returning to Xianyang Village this time, although he still eats and drinks with the villagers on the surface, but secretly, he has always wanted to sneak into the Xianyang Ancestral Hall to see, that place is too mysterious, from childhood to adulthood has been guarded, no one is allowed to enter, only the day before the start of the Fairy Sheep Festival, the selected "Sheep Immortal" can enter, and when he comes out the next day, the Sheep Immortal has been dressed up, and the mother was like this.

Tomorrow is the Sheep Festival, I heard that the lucky person in this round of the Sheep Festival is the daughter of the old Li family?

The girl......

Chen Ping didn't have much of an impression, but remembered that she was a little dark, honest, and didn't like to talk since she was a child.

Secretly glanced into the ancestral hall, Chen Ping was a little annoyed.

There were more guards than usual, and they were simply too tightly guarded.

But the more this happened, the more it proved that there was a problem in this ancestral hall, and he was almost sure that there must be a secret here.

Just as he was thinking about how to enter the ancestral hall, Chen Ping suddenly saw another sneaky figure.

Is that...... The son of the village chief?

Why didn't he go through the main entrance?

Chen Ping secretly followed.

Seeing that in the night, the village chief's son picked up the grass, threw himself on the ground, and got into the ancestral hall.

I'll go...... And the dog hole!

Chen Ping was overjoyed unexpectedly.

After the movement in the wall had gone away, he came to the wall, followed the example of the village chief's son, and pulled the grass away.

Drilling into the hole, he raised his eyes and saw the tall and old wooden ancestral hall in front of him, which made him panic inexplicably.

The courtyard wall of this ancestral hall was much larger than he had imagined......

He walked deeper for a while, and the more he went, the more frightened he became.

The night was already dark, and it was so quiet that there was not even a sound of insects, which was a bit bizarre.

As the saying goes, the smarter a person is, the easier it is to scare himself, Chen Ping is in this situation now, all kinds of horror stories and horror scenes keep coming to his mind, and he can't help but even tremble in his calves.

Suddenly!

"I don't want to be a sheep immortal!"

A terrible cry made him shudder.

Wait a minute...... That voice is, Li Rong, the daughter of the old Li family?

Sure enough, she was sent to the ancestral hall a day early to dress up.

Just as he was in shock, Chen Ping's nose suddenly moved, and he smelled some strange fragrance.

This is...... Longevity?

Someone lighting incense?

This fragrance entered his body, which made him inexplicably relieved, and the girl named Li Rong suddenly stopped screaming.

"Bringing people to such a gloomy place in the middle of the night to dress up, no wonder people don't want to ......"

Chen Ping muttered.

He glanced around, just in time to see the village chief's son, who had slipped into the ancestral hall before him, entering a room.

He hurriedly followed, pricked up his ears, and approached the wooden window lightly.

Got in, Chen Ping frowned, it stinks!

Even longevity incense can't hide the stench.

It's a highly corrupt taste.

He had seen a dead boar by the river before, and the boar had been soaked in water for an unknown amount of time, and it was rotting all over, and the smell it emitted was the smell of the house at the moment.

What are they doing?

Chen Ping's heart beat faster and faster, he quietly inserted his fingers into the gap in the wooden window, tiptoed up a crack in it, and looked into the room by the night and the light.

There were many more people in the house than he imagined, including the village chief's family, the elders of several large clans in the village, and a few middle-aged patriarchs who often went out of the village to contact the outside world and do business.

These people formed a circle, everyone held a stick of longevity incense in their hands, and the son of the village chief who had just arrived was stared, and he also hurried to get a stick of longevity incense and obediently joined the crowd.

Chen Ping laboriously looked in through the crack in the window, and there were two people surrounded by them, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, who should be Li Rong.

There was also a rickety kneeling on the mat, his face was wrinkled, and he was very old, Chen Ping took a closer look, and that person was the village chief.

The village chief is in his nineties, and he still has to stay up late to do such tiring work?

Chen Pingzheng was puzzled, and suddenly saw that Li Rong had already taken off her shirt by them!

What are these people going to do?!

Chen Ping sensed that something was wrong, could it be that this group of people wanted to violate Li Rong?

He was hesitating to call the police, but he saw that the village chief took out an extremely simple brush, soaked up the ink, and landed on Li Rong's naked upper body.

When the first stroke fell, Li Rong suddenly opened her eyes, her eyes were red, and tears flowed out.

"Ah!!h

Chen Ping was so frightened that he had goosebumps all over his body, he had never seen Li Rong, who didn't talk much, screaming so loudly.

However, the surrounding clan elders and middle-aged patriarchs all held longevity incense in one hand and pressed her shoulder with the other.

It didn't seem to have much strength, but Li Rong couldn't move.

Only her eyes could still move, and at the moment she could only care about tears, and her whole body trembled uncontrollably.

And the old village chief, who was ghostly painting peach talismans on her, didn't even raise his eyelids, his expression was focused and serious, as if he was carrying out some kind of sacred ritual.

He writes slowly, as if each stroke takes a lot of effort.

Chen Ping was so frightened by this strange scene that his legs went limp, and his gums were trembling.

After about half an hour, I finally ...... Li Rong was written with dense weird symbols.

These are not words at all, and when the last stroke of the old village chief left her, Li Rong's face was suddenly distorted to the extreme!

The people who had been circling around the two of them, holding longevity incense, also stopped.

"You love me, and I wish to be clear."

The old village chief's voice squeezed out a hoarse, singing-like voice.

Under the gaze of the incense-holding people, the old village chief bowed slightly.

Seeing this, the two middle-aged patriarchs took out a black ram's horn, and the root of the ram's horn was nailed into an extremely long iron nail.

The two of them held the horn of the sheep in both hands, raised it high, and under the gaze of everyone and surrounded by the fragrance, they aimed the iron nail at the root of the horn at the position of Li Rong's temple and stabbed it in!

Li Rong's eyes suddenly bulged, the green tendons around her forehead swelled, and two lines of blood and tears flowed from the corners of her eyes, obviously, her pain had reached the extreme.

But soon, she was painless.

The old village chief picked up the brush, absorbed the ink, and used the brush to slap her eyebrows!

A crimson mark remained in the center of her eyebrows, but the next moment, the skin on Li Rong's upper body, which was covered with strange symbols, actually began to fall off on its own!

Chen Ping was so frightened that he blocked his mouth with his free hand, for fear of screaming.

The scene that happened in front of me was too weird and terrifying...... A girl who was still alive just now, after the center of her eyebrows was clicked, the skin on her body began to peel off on its own, revealing crimson flesh......

However, this time, Li Rong didn't even make a scream, just sat quietly cross-legged, her eyes were hollow, only under the two horns inserted into her temples, and the blood was still flowing slowly.

"Wear fairy clothes."

The old village chief's infiltrating voice sounded again.

A piece of sheepskin...... Under Chen Ping's trembling gaze, he was picked up.

The old village chief unfolded it and slowly draped it over Li Rong's crimson flesh.

The sheepskin, which was obviously a dead thing, actually moved!

It squirmed into Li Rong's body, clinging to her flesh and blood, and in the blink of an eye...... and she grew into one.

"Greetings, Lord Sheep Fairy."

"Welcome, Lord Sheep Fairy......"

“……”

Everyone in the room saluted reverently, but this scene was particularly terrifying in the eyes of Chen Ping outside the window.

He could barely suppress his breathing, and his heart was beating as if it was about to burst out of his chest.

This is the Sheep Festival?

This is the lucky one who was chosen?

He suddenly thought of his mother, could it be that my mother was too...... He shuddered, shuddering.

No, if you want to call the police, you must escape and call the police!

This horrible place must be brought to an end!

At this time, the old village chief was taking the final step.

He once again filled the brush with some kind of weird ink, as long as the tip of the brush was fixed at the center of his eyebrows, he could maintain Li Rong's "divinity" for a period of time, and everyone could take what they wanted.

However, the village chief had just glued the tip of the brush that had absorbed the ink to the center of Li Rong's eyebrows.

Suddenly.

Chen Ping quietly retreated, and was just about to leave, but the moment he put down the wooden window, he made a sound!

"Click-"

The subtle sound was like thunder in the silent ancestral hall!

The old village chief's hand shook, and the tip of the brush attached to the center of his eyebrows fell to the ground with a "click-" sound.

The old village chief's old face turned pale with horror in an instant, and he shouted, "Pick it up!" Paste it on! Fast! ”

A strange night breeze suddenly came in through the window, blowing the brush on the ground several times.

After a circle of people picked up the brush with all hands and feet, they hurriedly put the tip of the pen back to Li Rong's eyebrows.

The old village chief observed with concern for a while, and finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Li Rong had always closed his eyes.

"You guys, find out the person just now!"

"Yes! The village chief ......"

……

In the ancient jungle, a gust of wind blew.

The ancestral hall where a group of people had gathered just now was empty at the moment.

The girl sitting on the futon in the ancestral hall was dressed in sheepskin, with two black horns stuck in her temples, and the blood on her face had been carefully processed, and even her expression was shaped into a smile.

However, none of the people in Xianyang Village who had fallen asleep knew......

The girl who shouldn't have opened her eyes opened her eyes in the dark ancestral hall at this moment......

August 20th, 8 a.m.

Qin Manjiang had already arrived in Zhishan County last night.

Today is the day when the game begins, and if you want to enter Xianyang Village, there are only two buses throughout the day, one morning and one night, and he must come here early to wait.

But...... What about the others?

As soon as this thought came to him, he heard a man's voice:

"Hello? Here, kids! ”

I?

Child?

Qin Manjiang followed the sound and saw that a middle-aged man with drooping eyelids was sitting in the driver's seat of an off-road vehicle, his beard was unshaven and he looked a little unkempt, but as soon as he opened his mouth, it was beyond Qin Manjiang's expectations.

"Hello, kid, I'm Boss Shi."
