"What are these words?"

Hearing the young man's resentful words, the village chief frowned: "You can rest assured that the good things will never change, and if you say that you will be covered with food and lodging, and you see that you have been walking around the village for the past two days, and no one has stopped you?" The people in our village even took the initiative to show you the way......

"Hey! I also spent money on this way, don't change the concept, a person is fifty a day, if it is to go to a difficult place, I will add a little more."

The young man waved his hand: "On average, it's seventy or eighty yuan, which is not much outside, but it is a lot for the people in the village, right?" So, we're just a trade."

"You, don't tell me about these twists and turns, let's just push open the skylight and say something bright, can I continue shooting? If it's still possible, I'm bothering you to get out of the way. If not, then I'm sorry, you return the money to me, and I'll delete the photos and videos in front of you, how about we break up peacefully?"

This... He's right.

This matter is a transaction from beginning to end.

When they wanted to photograph the scenery of their village, they first asked for advice and paid money, and finally they signed a contract.

The terms and conditions of the contract are clearly written. The most important one is to allow the other party to shoot except for some pre-demarcated areas, and if the villagers or even him stop it, the contract will be scrapped.

When the time comes, how much money the young people have spent in the village these days, they will have to pay back double!

Naturally, it was impossible for the village chief to let the contract be scrapped.

You must know that their village is surrounded by mountains, and due to geographical restrictions, every family living in the village may work hard all year round, and all that falls into their hands is 10,000 yuan!

This has to be done if there are young people in the family.

If you encounter a situation where the children of the family go out to work, and only the old man and the old lady are left with the children, it will be even more painful.

Three thousand yuan, although it doesn't seem like much from the outside, it may be enough for a few people to eat a meal of daily food.

But I can buy a bag of rice and a barrel of oil for each family, which is enough to eat for a month.

And this money was turned into rice and cooking oil as early as a few days ago, even if he wants to return the money now, he doesn't have the ability, let alone double the compensation.

Moreover, he has no intention of defaulting.

Could it be that the other party was misunderstood by what he did just now?

Groaning, reorganizing the language in his mind, the village chief spoke again, "Xiao Li, don't you think this is a misunderstanding. All the people in our village are honest people, how can I do such a thing to destroy my future."

"Don't worry, the people in the village, including me, won't stop you from shooting!" Speaking of this, the village chief raised his hand, pinched his fingers and made an OK gesture, and said cautiously, "Just a little piece of advice."

"That's it, Xiao Li, can you adjust the sound of your camera, and don't keep flashing. Although I haven't paid attention to these things in recent years, I am in front of the temple gate after all, and the lord enshrined in it is not a good-natured person, and there is no need to step on the things that are avoided, right?"

Not only is it a bad temper, these people in the temple are originally fierce and vicious.

The Five Rampant Temple, as the name suggests, is dedicated to the five rampant gods.

The five rampant gods, also known as the five lang gods or the five gods.

It is a general term for Wuthering Mountains and forests, monsters and lonely souls who like yin*** women, and it does not specifically refer to that kind of ghosts and gods. Usually there are five statues to worship blood food, known as "five links".

The origin of the five gods is complicated, and some say that it refers to the ghosts of Liuzhou in the Tang Dynasty; It is said that in order to commemorate the heroic souls who died in battle during the expulsion of Meng Yuan, Ming Taizu took five people as a god to seal the gods; It is also said that it was for the Yuan and Ming dynasties to harass Jiangnan and plundered and burned the Japanese invaders.

In short, the five gods are not among the righteous gods in nature.

It's just that in the past, people worshipped it as a god in order to avoid calamity. Adhering to the principle of eating people's mouths and taking people's soft hands, let them settle down somewhat, but with the passage of time, the five rampant bodies gradually became more blessed to avoid trouble, and the power to make money became

God of Wealth......

But no matter what it is, even the heroic souls who died in the battle at the beginning are far less kind than the gods and Buddhas in the Taoist Buddhist Temple.

It's better not to take the initiative to provoke!

"You're right."

The young man took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the impatience in his heart, and said, "But this camera is like this when it leaves the factory, and the sound and flash of photography are unavoidable. This obvious sound and light is also to prevent people from taking pictures of it."

Seeing that the village chief opened his mouth and looked like he was still going to speak, he hurriedly interrupted the other party: "Don't think about the mobile phone, the picture taken by that thing is too blurry to use, I don't have a spare camera...... Either you let me go, or I'll go?"

"I... Alas, then be yours!"

The village chief opened his mouth, then sighed helplessly, turned around and left the Five Rampant Temple.

He said what he should say and what he should persuade, and when there is really something wrong, it has nothing to do with their village.

Seeing this, the young man named Xiao Li secretly pursed his lips.

It cannot be ruled out that the village chief is indeed a well-intentioned reminder, but it is not impossible to hold the idea of pit him again.

After all, in the past, in order to shoot something new and interesting, he also traveled all over the country, while seeing the beautiful scenery of various places, he also saw more greed in human nature, take a step back today, and he will dare to ride on your head tomorrow.

It is said that the people in the village are simple, but if they are really vicious, the scene is also quite refreshing..... Therefore, he has always been cautious and has a good contract before working.

It's still a bit unavoidable, but it's much better than it was at the beginning.

As for the real situation of the camera...... Then the benevolent will see the benevolent, and the wise will see the wise.

Anyway, he didn't want to delay his shooting because of this little thing. You know, although you can see this rampant festival outside, those places have long been developed into tourist attractions.

Too much time with money, a lot of things have long since gone bad.

Far from being as authentic as the festival in this small mountain village - look at the villagers wearing "colorful clothes" and armor, and their every move is the same as the real thing. It's as if they've really become ghosts.

Seeing it with his own eyes, even he, an atheist, had a feeling that his hair stood on end, and he couldn't help but think of some stories he had heard......

Shake your head and clear your mind of the cluttered thoughts.

In the next moment, the young man picked up the camera again, pointed it at the figure in front of him who was singing and dancing, and began to press the shutter vigorously and frequently.

The blinding glow of the flash flickered continuously.

The villagers in the inner circle had to squint their eyes slightly to ensure that their performance was not affected.

Anger is inevitable, this is a sacrifice to the five rampant gods, who can afford to have an accident, but when his eyes are focused on the young man, the anger in his heart is automatically reduced by half.

For the sake of the rice and oil at home, as well as the extra money of seventy or eighty a day, bear with it...

The village chief had no choice but to leave, and the villagers who performed were bribed, so naturally no one came to stop the youth.

As he moves, "perfect" images are captured on film.

And in the process, the smile on the young man's face became more and more intense - when he took a picture of the rampant festival and went back to add a little text, he could make up a few articles and videos.

Counting some of the landscapes I photographed before.

Put it on his account on various platforms, tens of thousands of yuan are always available, and if he is lucky, a video or article can bring him tens of thousands of income, and even if he can receive advertisements or win competitions, he can earn more.

However, when he came back to his senses, he suddenly noticed that in the group of villagers performing. The villager dressed in black with a vicious mask on his face was always secretly watching him - if he remembered correctly, the other party was playing the Five Rampant Gods?

"What have you been looking at, sick?" The young man put down the camera and looked at each other with a displeased expression.

And after he found out, the other party not only did not retreat, but instead

Look at it openly.

What made him realize that something was wrong was that the villager who played the role of the five rampant gods and was dressed in black kept moving, still maintaining the ritual, but his face always kept looking at the young man.

In the eye they met, the young man noticed a smile on the other man's face—he had not forgotten that the villagers were wearing masks, not painted faces.

In other words, a mask that has been made a long time ago will actually have a change of expression, which is ...... Even as time passed, the villager leaned closer to his place, intentionally or unintentionally.

The young man wanted to avoid the other party, but at this time, he suddenly found that his legs were like they were filled with lead, and even this feeling spread to his face as soon as he wanted to open his mouth to make a sound.

He now has lost control over the rest of his body except for his eyes, and the young man scolded anxiously in his heart when he saw this:

", didn't you say that you are not allowed to become a fine after the founding of the country? And what is the situation he is experiencing now!"

......

Gradually, the villagers also noticed that something was wrong.

The annoying flashing light hadn't flickered since it stopped a few minutes ago.

You know, the other party didn't even listen to the persuasion of the village chief, so why did he suddenly not take it, when his curious eyes shifted to the young man.

"Yo, isn't he tired if he keeps his hands up?"

"Who knows, but the young man's physical strength is really good, and he never complains about going up and down the mountain."

"That's right, there's nothing wrong with it except for your stubborn temper!"

"Anyway, he's been in this position for a while, he's looking at something so seriously, I... ! How did you get out!"

"Shouldn't I go?"

"It's not a wandering god, it's just a performance in front of the temple, and in the past, the five rampant lords were sacrificed every year, even if you don't know the rules, you can get used to it, right? How dare they move such a long distance from the temple gate, t, the brain was kicked by a donkey?"

"Well, do you think something is wrong... Isn't that a little too realistic?"

"Who... Hiss! Is this realistic? You said that the idol inside really came down, I believed it, this hateful foreigner, annoyed ***. Quick, go and get our village chief back with a few people!"

「......」

The original ritual had ceased to exist since the first step of the black rampant god.

In just over ten minutes, the performers scattered around in colorful clothes, armor, and masks broke away from their positions one after another, and gathered behind the black rampant god along with the other four rampant gods.

followed the black rampant god step by step, and walked out.

At first, the men were uncoordinated on their limbs, like corpses that had just crawled out of a coffin, and their movements were stiff and strange.

But it didn't take long for the sluggish movements to gradually return to normal.

But this normality does not refer to normal people, but to the corresponding images they wear—judges, yin soldiers, and those "boys" who are not human in nature.

At this time, the surrounding light gradually dimmed.

The surface of the bright moon above his head was shrouded in a thin layer of mist.

The bright moon has become as hazy as frosted glass at the moment.

Seeing this, the hearts of the surrounding onlookers were cold.

This ritual of sacrificing the five rampant has been passed down from generation to generation in this mountain village, and I don't know how many years have passed, and there has been no problem. But this time, it directly attracted such a big disaster... However, they also did not bother to blame the young man who took the photo.

After realizing that the situation was wrong, the onlookers did not care about the rule that they should not make noise during the performance.

While the rampant attention was still focused on the young man named Xiao Li, they quickly discussed countermeasures.

On the other hand, let people go and find the village chief back.

On the one hand, let the old and weak in the village go first with their daughter-in-law.

Three left

More than a dozen young men picked up a handy tool around them and held it in their hands, waiting for it.

It's not that they're not afraid.

Young and strong are also human beings, in the face of such a strange situation at the moment, how can they not be weak-hearted, the bold can still grit their teeth and stiffen, and the two trouser legs of the timid are already wet.

But there is no way, when you know the danger, you can't let your elderly parents and young wives and children be in front, right?

No matter how afraid you are, you can only stand up.

Some people may ask, it stands to reason that in this kind of village that preserves traditional customs, there are generally some folk mages such as goddesses, why don't they find professionals to solve the problem in this situation, but instead go to the village chief?

Is there a possibility that the mage was also on the scene, but for now, the villagers didn't think the mage would help them.

Because, the source of this chaos, the performer in a black robe and a rampant mask on his face, is none other than the mage in the village!

!

Whoever has a bad accident, but the biggest mess happens to this lone seedling.

......

On the other side, as the blue jade in his arms gradually quieted down, the picture that appeared in front of him was also quietly shattered.

Zhang Ke came back to his senses, followed his breathing, and a large amount of sparks erupted from his nose.

The scorching heat scalded the surrounding air into layers of heat waves, and the Arowana, who was not far from him, hurriedly swam towards the bottom of the fish pond with the stupid little brothers, and even the mussel girls did not dare to continue to swim on the water.

At the same time, the land of Kyushu, which had been quiet, ......
