Propped up, the four people sitting on the old farmer's chair walked in front,

The Hu Dao Chang walked beside him, and the smiling crowd walked behind.

Singing all the way, walking in the direction of the end of the village.

Four, but the silence became more and more dead.

All that was left was the singing harmony and the footsteps of the line,

Other than that, on both sides of the road, there was no other sound.

On the village road, it was dim, but it reflected the red light reflected by the red lanterns under the eaves of the houses that were either deserted or there were still people along the way.

The misty red light was like blood, sprinkled on the bodies of the figures who walked by this line, and there was some oil on their faces, full of smiles.

The crowd walked across the ground next to them, either with a vague shadow changing positions as the person moved forward, or there was no shadow at all, but the same red light was reflected.

Scattered shadows intertwine from time to time, and the walking crowd is singing and moving forward.

Xu Feng and Ah Meng turned into two flying birds,

It flew over the group, hidden in the dim night.

I looked at the village road below, and the front of the line was fixed on the seat, just wearing thin clothes.

I don't know if it's cold or excited, the old man who is a little trembling, the old man's face is still full of happy smiles, and his cloudy eyes are also full of anticipation.

Turning his head, Xu Feng looked behind him again, far away from the road that the group of village people had already walked.

In the place that has been flooded by night, there are two figures,

The two figures watched vigilantly, keeping an eye back and forth, far behind the group—it was the two middle-aged men who followed.

Xu Feng glanced at the two middle-aged men more, and then withdrew his gaze.

I saw that at the front of the group, the Hu Dao chief, also turned his head at this time, and looked behind him while walking forward.

“…… Bridge! ”

"The Climber Crosses the Bridge ......"

Daochang Hu turned his head and shouted again,

The group of people in the back followed and shouted in response.

This figure gathered, and the direction was the end of the village,

At this moment, the last family that has walked through the direction of the end of the village,

Without the misty red light that reflected the figures, there was only a group of figures drowned in the darkness.

The bridge is built over a stream that surrounds half of the village.

The stream is shallow, just babbling with a little bit of water.

Three logs span the stream, even if it's a bridge.

And after crossing the bridge, it is already out of the village.

The four figures carrying the old farmer flowed directly through the stream.

A man followed by a man who walked over the wooden bridge in turn.

On the opposite side of the bridge, outside the village, is a mountain range.

Also drowned in fog and darkness.

The pedestrian who crossed the bridge did not lift anything illuminated,

He just walked along the trampled mountain path into the mountain, and let himself drown in the darkness.

Four times, more and more dead silence,

There was no sound of insects and birds, and only the movement of the people walking by could be heard.

The branches and leaves of the trees without the wind stood there tightly, only to show a faint vague outline in the darkness as people approached.

Watching the team of people in front of him walk away into the dim and dead mountain,

Xu Feng turned his gaze back and looked at the two middle-aged men who were far behind the team,

The two middle-aged men clenched the magic weapon in their hands, and they didn't dare to turn on the lights in this dark environment.

Little by little, he walked to the place where the bridge was crossed at the end of the village, and at the end of the bridge, he paused one after another.

“…… Lao Yan, are we still going to follow? ”

On the other side of the bridge, in the darker mountains and forests, the figures that gradually submerged in the darkness along the mountain road, the blurred outlines of the woods and rocks,

It greatly induces the deepest fear in people's hearts.

"Follow ......"

"If someone comes in from the bureau later, we can try to leave some clues."

For this kind of god and ghost thing, it is far more difficult to solve than those spirits with flesh.

They had to figure out what was going on before they could figure it out.

Looking at the dark mountains and forests, Lao Yan paused, then lowered his voice and responded.

"Hmm."

The two made a decision.

Without speaking, he walked across the wooden bridge and into the dark mountain forest.

Xu Feng looked at this scene in the air submerged in the night,

Retracted his gaze and walked forward with Ah Meng.

……

“…… The Ascenders and the others all stopped, and I continued to move forward, communicating with the gods alone! ”

Along the mountain road in the mountains, the team of old farmers was carried into the mountains.

After walking some distance, the chief of the Hu Dao shouted, and the figures stopped.

In the team, one by one followed the figures who came to participate in this happy celebration, and their faces were still full of smiles.

The old farmer sitting on the bamboo chair was still full of red light, looking at the front with excitement.

Ahead, is the place where he will ascend to heaven.

In his family, he is the only one left who has not ascended to the sky!

Today, fortunately, Hu Daochang is sheltered, and he is finally about to ascend to the sky!

The old farmer Qian Er's eyes widened and he looked at the front tightly.

In front, there is a small col between two mountains.

In the col, there was a lot of paper money and other things left over from the rituals.

They were all left over from the previous days when the villagers ascended to the sky.

The old farmer Qian Er was already a little impatient, and moved his fixed body on the bamboo chair.

But he still waited nervously, waiting for Daoist Hu to go over and do something first.

That nonsense chief,

Standing at the front of the line,

Seeing that the crowd stopped and came,

Glancing at the old farmer on the seat, and then at the procession, the place where the night was flooded.

Turning around, he went down the slope and down the col in front of him.

The dead leaves and paper money falling on the col ground were trampled by him from time to time,

After turning around again, Hu Daochang walked into the other side of the col, and the people who were still staying on the col could no longer see Hu Daochang's figure.

Qian Er, an old farmer sitting on the seat, could only wait anxiously.

……

The col was not very wide, but it was surrounded by a nearby ridge, and only the direction from which the team came could go down to the bottom of the col.

To the west of the col, there is a small river that resembles a mountain spring stream, which flows from the hills and forests on the side of the col to the col.

By this time, however, the stream that had come down from the mountains had long since dried up, leaving only some traces of the river with dead leaves and stones.

Descending to the bottom of the mountain col, the Hu Dao Chang walked to the edge of the river trace at this moment, raised his head and looked around, and finally looked at the mountains and forests upstream of the river track.

"Come out, I've brought you what you ate today."

The chief said loudly into the dry river.

After the words fell for a while, there was the sound of a stream running over the dead leaves.

Along the river, which had long since dried up, water suddenly flowed down again.

Then, riding the stream, a winding figure wider than the river that suddenly had water,

Along the river, slid down the upper reaches of the river.

It's a giant snake, or maybe it's a python.

The white body with silver-white scales is a little reflective even in the dark night here.

The eyes were wide open, reflecting some miserable green light in the night.

The head was only slightly raised from the ground, and it was already taller than the Hu Dao Chang standing in front of it.

With a cold gaze, coupled with this oppressive body, Hu Daochang, who was standing in front of it, also seemed to feel the pressure, and paused for a while.

only to avoid the sight of some of the white pythons staring at him,

"Your first meal of the day is outside, and after eating, there are two small snacks, you can eat them together."

Hu Daochang said loudly.

The python didn't make any sound, still staring at him.

"When you're done, you run, I've got to go."

"Hiss ......"

The python made a sound for the first time, its huge head lowered a little, and moved closer to Hu Daochang's head,

The cold eyes stared at him.

"Why? Those two snacks came from outside. Your existence has been exposed, and when they are sure that you are just a giant python, even if you become a monster and your body grows ten times longer, you will be dead. I don't want to die yet, and I don't think I'm going to be able to fight the falling shells. So wait a while for you to finish your snacks and I'll have to leave. If you think you'll survive, you can stay here. I won't take the rest with me, whatever you want. ”

The nonsense chief said to the white python.

The white python raised its head, and its cold eyes kept looking at this nonsense leader.

It seems that he understood the nonsense's words, but he has not made a sound.

"If you're not afraid of death, you can stay here. I won't stop you, and please don't stop me. ”

Hu Daochang raised his head to the giant python and said again.

"Hiss ......"

The python stuck out its tongue, made some more sounds, and turned its head to look over the col.

"Whatever you want. The soul is mine, and the body is yours. You can eat it if you like, I don't have a problem. ”

"But you'll have to eat those two snacks for me."

"Hiss ......"

"If it weren't for them, we could have stayed here...... We and their well water do not interfere with the river water, but they want to provoke me! ”

Hu Daochang spoke, his face was expressionless, and his eyes showed some cruelty.

"Hiss......"

The giant python seems to agree with Hu Daochang's words,

After one more sound,

The massive body hovered on the ground, turned back, and burrowed back into the forest above the hill.

The Hu Dao Chang watched the figure of the giant python submerge in the night again, turned his head, looked around the col again, and then walked back in the direction outside the col.

Above the col,

On the other side of the mountain forest, under the branches and leaves of a tree,

The flying bird incarnated by Xu Feng and Ah Meng quietly landed on the branches,

witnessed the whole process of this nonsense chief and the white python.

Watching that Daoist Hu leave, Xu Feng and Ah Meng were still under the branches and leaves, and paused,

Glancing at the direction in which the white python was hidden, Xu Feng turned his gaze again, still staring at the col.

Soon.

The Hu Daochang, who left, took the team of the group, the old farmer who was carried, back to the mountain col.

“…… Congratulations to Qian Er on his ascension! ”

In the col.

The old farmer Qian Er, who was carried, and the four people who were carried on the bamboo chair, were placed on the edge of the dry stream of the mountain col.

And the other figures, including those four people, surrounded the old farmer Qian Er and formed a big circle.

Only the old farmer who was fixed on the bamboo chair and the Hu Dao chief standing next to him were left in the circle.

"Congratulations to Qian Er on his ascension to the sky......"

Hu Daochang shouted, and the other people in the circle around him were also excited, singing peace with red faces.

And the shouts of the crowd in unison were like a signal of notification.

On the dry stream, there was another stream gurgling down.

"Congratulations...... Qian Er ascends to the sky! ”

"Congratulations ......"

It was a long cry from the crowd.

The murmuring of the stream is clearer,

Finally, the stream flowed from the river to the feet of the old farmer Qian Er's seat.

Qian Er was a little excited, suppressing his emotions and not letting himself be too excited to move around on the seat.

At this time, the nonsense chief shouted again.

"Except for those who ascended to the sky, everyone else, with their backs turned outward, silenced their voices, and closed their eyes!"

After the voice fell,

The crowd of people who were still chanting the previous congratulatory words quieted down suddenly,

One after another, he turned outward, and then closed his eyes tightly.

His face was still flushed with excitement, and he seemed to be happy that he was able to participate in this ceremony.

The old farmer sitting in the middle seat was also excited, excited, and finally had to wait for this moment.

The gurgling stream soaked his feet on the ground, and there was a slight cool feeling, which made his excited emotions rarely calm down.

The old peasant turned his head and looked at the people around him, all of whom turned their backs, lowered their heads and closed their eyes.

All around them suddenly became dead silent, and the mountains and trees on the hills beyond the col in the distance outlined a somewhat terrifying outline in the night.

The old peasant's body unconsciously turned again, looking back and forth.

He didn't know what he was looking at, but this sudden dead silence,

It seemed to make him feel some long-lost fear.

This little bit of fear made him a little uncomfortable.

He is about to ascend to the sky, how can he be afraid of the excitement.

The old farmer twisted his body on the seat a few times, but his body was restrained by the straps on both sides, so he could only barely move and then stopped moving.

He was a little panicked, but he didn't know what he was panicking about.

Will he be like his son, who ascended to heaven and stiffened all over?

No......

By the way, I'm about to ascend to the sky, and I should be happy.

Thinking so, the old farmer stopped moving in his seat, and then some smiles gradually appeared on his face.

Yes, I should be happy.

"Wait for the proposer to close his eyes."

The chief Hu Dao next to him shouted again, and the old farmer followed and closed his eyes.

After closing his eyes, the old farmer waited with a smile on his face,

It's just that the ears seem to have become more sensitive.

He heard some stumbling movements,

It seems to have come by the stream above.

Yes, the gods have the ability to control water, and it must be here.

The old peasant sat up a little more straight, waiting for this long-lost moment to come.

finally

The movement in front of the old peasant stopped,

But the old peasant smelled a fishy wind,

It's like a gust of wind blowing in the slaughterhouse, and he's standing in the doorway.

The old farmer closed his eyes and was a little puzzled.

But there was more of a smile on his face.

That's it...... Festive, festive.

What a fishy smell...... All right......

The old farmer Qian Er had a smile on his face,

But at the last moment,

He still opened his eyes,

Then his eyes opened wider.

What did he see?

The head of a white python hung down from the top of the hill and landed on top of his head, staring at him with cold eyes.

Is this a fairy?

The old farmer opened his mouth to say something.

But nothing came out.

He was tensed in his seat, but it was held in place.

……

Xu Feng and Ah Meng's incarnated flying birds, on the branches next to the mountain col, saw this scene in its entirety.

From the nonsense chief telling everyone to turn around and close their eyes, to the old farmer also closing his eyes.

On the river that gurgled down the stream, the figure of the giant python slowly reappeared.

Only this time, I didn't completely come down the hillside again,

Just leaned out his long and huge body, and easily stretched his head to the seat where the old farmer Qian Er was sitting.

When he opened his mouth, he blew fishy air and drooled from his mouth.

Looking at the white python,

Xu Feng paused.

It's just what has happened in the historical mapping.

Xu Feng did not appear again in this historical mapping.

It's just that with Ah Meng as two flying birds, looking at what has happened next.

Turning his gaze,

Xu Feng looked at the other side of the col again.

Where you can go down to the bottom of the col,

In the night, hiding from the two middle-aged men, Lao Yan and Lao Yang.

“…… Old Yang, it seems that we have good news. ”

"The guys here just look like they're spoofed, but they're just tricks, and they happen to be the ones we can easily solve."

Lao Yan whispered to Lao Yang,

"Then I also have bad news, Lao Yan, that so-called nonsense chief should be in league with the white python. We may not be able to get out of this village from the moment we enter this village. ”

"That's not something you expected, it's bad news."

Lao Yan didn't return, still looking at the things that were going on in the col in front of him.

"Oh, too...... Then we'...... now."

"Find a way to notify the bureau."

Lao Yan and Lao Yang both stood up one after another and put the magic weapons they were carrying back into their pockets.

Picked up something else.

Taking out an electronic device, Lao Yan dodged back a little and entered something into it.

Bury it in the ground next to it.

When they entered the village, the two of them had already tried, but they couldn't get to the outside by satellite call or normal call.

However, the wireless signal in the village can still be used.

This small device can continuously send signals and information to the outside world in more extreme environments.

If someone comes in from behind, they will receive information that the monster here is a giant python.

As for whether the descendants can spread it, Lao Yan and the others can't know.

"Old Yan, do you think we can run away? The guy didn't finish eating, so he turned around and ate us. ”

"I don't think I can run away."

"That ......"

The two of them only paused briefly, and then together, through the cover behind the col, walked out,

Walked to the bottom of the col.

"Brute! What do you want! ”

Lao Yan's glasses widened, and he roared directly at the white python.

This roar made the white python who was already about to eat, the nonsense chief,

There are also those figures that can't be seen in the ground, and they all turn around one after another.

Only the old farmer Qian Er was left, almost collapsed, his eyes widened, and he collapsed on his original seat.
