The sixty-first palm: the prophecy of the mountain god
On the second day, Pei Ziyan went out early to prepare to go up the mountain alone, and when she left, she glanced at Chaohuan, who was sleeping soundly on the bed, and showed a helpless expression.
Originally, I brought the other party here to see the details of the other party, but I didn't expect her to eat and drink like an ordinary person.
She thought for a moment, but still didn't wake the other party.
When she went out, it was still night outside the house, Pei Ziyan didn't plan to disturb others, and was going to go directly to the mountain to investigate, but as soon as she stepped out of the village chief's house, she saw someone outside the house.
The man was sleeping soundly against the wall, Pei Ziyan was stunned, and when he walked in, he found that it was Liu Qin.
How did he end up here? Pei Ziyan stretched out his hand and patted Liu Qin's shoulder, the other party woke up in a daze, saw Pei Ziyan in front of him, and quickly widened his eyes and sobered up.
"Pei, Miss Pei, it's early." He stood up stiffly, not forgetting to pat his pants, looking at Pei Ziyan in front of him, frowning slightly, and subconsciously laughing twice, "I, I thought that you would definitely go out again today, and I was afraid that I would miss it, so I just waited for you here." ”
"What are you doing with me?" Pei Ziyan was puzzled.
"This..." Liu Qin scratched his head before he said, "I haven't seen a demon yet, I want to follow Miss Pei for a long time." ”
As soon as he heard it, he knew that it was a lie, but Liu Qin didn't plan to say it, and Pei Ziyan didn't bother to continue to ask.
She glanced at the sky, and she didn't know how long this guy had been waiting here, so after thinking about it, she nodded and said, "Okay, you come with me, I just lack a leader." ”
Seeing that she agreed, Liu Qin was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly walked ahead to lead the way, chatting with her as he walked.
"Miss Pei, you got up so early, didn't you have breakfast? I have two leftover steamed buns from yesterday, can you eat them? ”
"Miss Pei, didn't the one who was with you yesterday come, speaking of which, I also met her halfway yesterday, is she lazy?"
"Miss Pei, speaking of which, you have caught those demons, how do you generally deal with them?"
Pei Ziyan raised her eyes and glanced at him, the corners of her mouth hooked up an arc, and finally answered his question, "What?" You care. ”
"Uh." Liu Qin saw a smile on the corner of her mouth, and nodded stubbornly, "Yes, I always heard the old people in the village talk about these things before, and I was very curious." ”
"Hmm~" Pei Ziyan glanced at him meaningfully, and saw that Liu Qin was uncomfortable, so he looked away and said: "If you encounter a more evil one, you will be killed on the spot, oh, it is just a soul." If you don't cause trouble, you can send it to reincarnation or something. ”
"However, this time this demon abducted seven women, it can be regarded as an evil spirit, and it is estimated that he will be killed on the spot."
Pei Ziyan said it easily, but Liu Qin stiffened when he heard it, he hesitated for a long time, and finally hung his head down.
He didn't say anything more until he reached the bottom of the mountain.
The two went up the mountain again, but this time it was not as smooth as before, and when they reached the mountainside, Pei Ziyan found that there was a layer of enchantment surrounding the mountain.
She stretched out her hand and tentatively touched the barrier, but was immediately repelled by the barrier, and her delicate palm emitted a burning pain, but she only frowned.
"Is there anything here?" Liu Qin saw her hesitant appearance, and also tentatively reached out to touch it, but like Pei Ziyan, he was also rejected by the enchantment, holding his hand and looking at him in disbelief.
It was obviously the same mountain road as always, but there was an invisible wall in front of them that isolated them here, Liu Qin didn't dare to touch it at will, and turned his head to ask Pei Ziyan what he meant.
I thought that it would be like yesterday, Pei Ziyan would be able to solve this enchantment easily, but in the face of Liu Qin's trusting gaze, Pei Ziyan shook his head.
"No, it's not the same level as yesterday's." explained to Liu Qin like this, but Pei Ziyan thought more in her heart.
She had sensed that aura several times before, but it was not a threat, so she let the other party go. But today's level of enchantment is definitely not something that that thing can do.
Either that thing relied on a powerful magic weapon to set up an enchantment, but she didn't perceive the aura of that magic weapon, so it shouldn't be. That's either that, it's that thing that hides the internship, but why is that? Or the third possibility, someone more powerful is coming.
Stronger than that, even more powerful than her, to be able to lay such an enchantment without her noticing.
But, here comes the problem again. Why would someone who is so much stronger than her go to such a thankless place to come to such a small place? Even if he wants to prey on humans, with his strength, it will be easy.
Pei Ziyan didn't come up with an answer, looked at his red hands, and then looked at Liu Qin, who was sweating profusely, shook his head and said, "Things have changed, let's go back first." ”
"Okay."
Liu Qin had no opinion, and the two returned the same way and went down the mountain.
When the two walked to the stream at the foot of the mountain, it was just dawn, and Liu Qin looked at Pei Ziyan and was about to ask her about her plans in the future.
But before he could speak, he suddenly saw Pei Ziyan's expression change suddenly, she looked in the direction of the village, and ran back without saying a word.
Although Liu Qin looked dazed, seeing that she was so anxious, he thought that something was wrong in the village, and hurriedly followed.
The village chief's house.
Chao Huan woke up from her dream with a yawn, she rubbed her sleepy eyes, and looked at a person standing next to the bed, who didn't know how long he stood again, just looked at her without saying a word.
Chao Huan paused, she raised her head and saw the face, but she was not afraid, and even said in a somewhat unkind tone: "What's the matter." ”
The person in front of him was Lian Yunlan, who had been secretly protecting Chao Huan, and when he saw that Chao Huan had woken up, he said, "There is something in the sky and sky for me to convey to you." ”
"Pei Ziyan has a problem, I need your cooperation to test her."
"Oh." Chao Huan was not surprised, after listening to Lian Yunlan tell her detailed plan, she nodded expressionlessly.
"I see, I'll cooperate."
Lian Yunlan, who conveyed the news, directly hid his figure after completing the task, but Chao Huan still knew that he was nearby, after all, the day was just the one who gave the order, and it was Chao Huan who was mastering him.
The good dream was woken up, Chao Huan didn't want to continue sleeping, looked at the bed that was still empty next to him, cleaned up and got up.
She went out of the bedroom door, but found that the village chief and his wife, who were supposed to be at home, were not there, Chao Huan was a little surprised, after all, they have never dared to go out, why are they not here today?
Chao Huan felt that something was wrong, she opened the door and walked out, and as soon as she opened the door, she saw the figures of several villagers, walking in a common direction.
This meeting may seem normal in other places, but Chaohuan, who has been here for two days, feels strange, why did people who were reluctant to step out of the house go out today? And it's all going in one direction.
Pei Ziyan is not there, and no one can protect him if he encounters danger. Chao Huan thought calmly for a moment, but still felt that he would follow and take a look.
She followed the people, and gradually came to a wide place, where Chaohuan had come, and Liu Qin said that this was the center of the village, and that the villagers would be summoned when the village announced something important.
She lurked in the crowd, but the people who usually don't leave the gate now gathered here, Chao Huan squeezed on the edge and couldn't see the middle at all, she tried to drill forward from the gap between the people, trying to see the scene in the middle.
When she finally stood in front, she was taken aback by the scene in front of her.
In the square where people gathered, there stood seven girls dressed in red, wearing hairpins on their heads, covered with red veils, and their faces were quietly closed.
Behind the seven girls, a piece of letterhead fluttered in the wind, and Chao Huan squinted to see the words on it.
"The mountain god marries..."
She muttered those words, and her eyes grew more and more incredulous.
The mountain god marries, seventeen brides.
When the moon is full, good karma is forever married.
At this time, Pei Ziyan, who sensed that something was wrong with the village, also rushed back, and she saw the villagers gathered here at a glance, and also saw the flying letterhead that attracted everyone.
Pei Ziyan could clearly perceive the power on the letterhead, and it was that power that confused the hearts of everyone present and made them go out of the house and gather here.
I didn't expect that demon to do this right under her nose!
Pei Ziyan was furious in her heart, she flew forward, and tore off the letterhead with one hand, and as the letterhead was torn off, the chaotic eyes of the villagers also returned to clarity, they first wondered why they were here, and then saw the seven girls in red.
"Clean girl!" A woman let out a cry, she was Liu Jie's mother, and she recognized at a glance that among the seven girls was her own daughter.
The identities of the seven girls in red in front of him are self-evident, they are the seven people who were abducted before.
Pei Ziyan's face was even more ugly, and she was attacked by the demon who had always been underestimated, which was too much of a slap in the face for her. Her gaze swept over the seven girls, and she was about to step forward to check on them, but before she could get closer, she felt an enchantment separate them.
This is!
The same barrier as on the mountain.
Not only Pei Ziyan, but other people who tried to contact those girls were also isolated by the enchantment, and some who were too intense were even injured by the enchantment, and no matter how the family members outside cried and called, the seven girls in the enchantment all closed their eyes, as if they were sleeping.
Chao Huan walked to Pei Ziyan's side, she also realized something, the two glanced at each other, and walked towards the village chief.
"Things have changed, and we have to discuss it." Pei Ziyan said, Liu Fangzheng nodded in agreement, and the three of them went back to the village chief's house.
"The information written on it is very vague, but you can guess it." Chao Huan put the letterhead in his hand on the table, no matter how you look at it, this letterhead is written on ordinary paper and pen, but the spiritual power on it makes it impossible to destroy it easily.
Pei Ziyan had calmed down, she looked at the letterhead, and said solemnly: "That demon is completely different from before, it has become stronger, it has set up an enchantment on the mountain, and I can't approach it easily." ”
"The letter says that the mountain god is married, and the seventeenth bride. This mountain god probably refers to the demon, and it calls itself the mountain god. But what about this seventeen brides who are agreeable? Chao Huan pondered for a moment, "Does seventeen refer to age?" Or quantity? ”
"It should be the number, and among the abducted women, how many of them are not of the same age."
"In that case, he wants seventeen brides." Speaking of this, Chao Huan frowned, obviously very displeased with this "mountain god", "Did it kidnap these women in order to marry them?" ”
"This, these seventeen, there are only fifteen unmarried girls in our village." This is still with the addition of those abducted women.
Liu Fangzheng only felt dizzy, thinking that his life was ordinary, and he thought that he could enjoy his old age in peace, but now why did he encounter such a thing!
"Are you still going to send these women out?" Pei Ziyan's tone was cold.
"But, but..." Liu Fangzheng didn't dare to say it, he had witnessed this strange scene with his own eyes today, and he had long been afraid of the existence of the self-proclaimed "mountain god", so it was naturally the safest way to give priority.
"The full moon is..." Chao Huan calculated in his heart and said, "The next full moon is five days later, and there is still some time, otherwise we will go back to Fuliucheng first to move the rescue troops?" ”
Here to the willow city, if you rely on the magic weapon, you can get there in a few hours.
