Chapter 54: Imprisoned at the Altar

The old man gave the order to go down, and saw that many young people moved one by one, and ran to the other end of the snow slope, Liu Snake could not see it, but he knew very clearly what they were doing, because the old man said that they should prepare firewood and perform the priestly ceremony later.

That's right, he just wants to burn Liu Snake and Zhou Lun alive.

Like the dead bodies, they turned into a few wisps of green smoke and a small pile of ashes on this snowy afternoon, and then they were buried by the snow before they could be blown away by the wind.

Struggling, growling, swearing??? To no avail. The people in the audience were like puppets, puppets, without flesh and blood, only numb sneers.

Seeing that Liu Snake and Zhou Lun seemed to be crazy, the old man finally spoke: Two little brothers, I can't help it, we don't really want to do this, but we are forced to do it.

Suddenly, I heard the old man say such a bastard thing, Liu Snake stopped making trouble, and Zhou Lun stopped screaming, just wanted to hear what the old man had to say. I don't really want to do anything, I really can't help it, I have no choice but to kill someone, and I have to be tied up and burned alive, it's just a strange thing, what did we offend you, where did we provoke you, it's really a bastard.

The old man said: "There is a strange disease in our village recently, which is not only difficult to treat, but also extremely contagious. The old man stopped, looked at Liu Snake on the stage, and then looked at Zhou Lun, and his eyes stayed on the corpses. Liu Snake found that there was a hint of compassion flashing in his eyes, which was really strange.

The old man took a deep breath, his chest rose and fell violently under the coarse linen wrap, and continued: "A month ago, a woodcutter in the village went up the mountain to cut wood, but he didn't come back until dark, and then his woman ran to my house overnight to find me. Oh, I forgot to mention, I'm the head of our village, and I usually take care of everything in the village. His mother-in-law had tears in her eyes, her face was full of anxiety, and she told me the situation with tears, and I knew that it was not good when I heard it, and if a person went up the mountain and did not come back at night, it would be more than lucky. Because this kind of thing has happened before, there will always be innocent disappearances of the village name, most of them happen in the mountains, and once they disappear, they never appear again. Many people in the village said that they were dragged away by fierce animals such as tigers and leopards in the mountains, but there is no evidence. No one knows what the truth is, but it actually comes from the heart. I don't really agree with the idea of being eaten by beasts. Because most of the people in the village make a living by hunting, and there are not a few tigers, leopards and jackals slaughtered on weekdays, if they are really dragged to eat, for so many years, there will always be individual human corpse remains found in their caves, but none of them have been found. None of the caves had human bones, and there were a lot of bones in the dens, but they were all other kinds of animals.

In fact, everyone in the village knows the Tao. In this mountain, it has always been the world of human beings, and those animals are just begging for a living in the cracks, only human beings eat their share, where is their turn to eat us. So, I don't quite believe that the disappearance was the work of the beast, but I can't say what is on my mind. Think about it, in this deep mountain and old forest, a living person is gone, except that he said that he was eaten by a tiger, what else can he say, do you want to tell them that those missing people were all taken away by the ghosts in the mountains? The old man's tone suddenly rose a few squares, and the trembling was obvious, and because he was standing on the stage and the terrain was high, the expressions of everyone in the audience were clear at a glance, and when the old man mentioned the "ghost" At the time of writing, the faces of the people in the audience were obviously frightened, and the look of nervousness was about to come out, as if there really was a ghost here, or maybe they had really seen that thing at some point in the past, so they would ???

It can be seen that Liu Snake already has some spectrum in his heart, first of all, it is certain that they look quite tough, but in fact, the real situation is really not like that. What are ghosts to be afraid of, even ghosts are afraid, it can only mean that they are a village without spiritual power, and the village is not good at martial arts and the way of law, so they are afraid of those unclean things. Now it seems that they are just simple ordinary people. Now Liu Snake is relieved, as long as he doesn't meet those powerful characters, dealing with these foolish people with brute strength, Liu Snake is still quite sure in his heart, at least, there is no need to worry too much about this situation now, and there will be a way to solve it later.

The old man didn't notice the wandering of Liu Snake's eyes at all, but was immersed in his own thoughts, and he said, "As I expected, the man was really not stolen by tigers and leopards and other fierce beasts, because he came back a week after his disappearance."

Liu Snake's eyes suddenly straightened, and his eyebrows wrinkled slightly, why did he come back again? Could it be that he guessed wrong. It turned out that after Liu Snake heard what the old man said just now, he also pondered silently in his heart. Now Liu Snake didn't have the heart to think about anything else, he just wanted to hear what the old man could say.

The old man said: Although the man did not come back by himself, he was sleeping in the mountains, and was found by a group of hunting children, and later, many people went to the village, and finally carried him back to the village, so it can be regarded as his own return.

Either way, it's good to be back. That's what everyone thought at the time. But we were wrong.

After the man was carried home, he fell asleep for a day and a night, and then finally woke up, which made his mother-in-law happy, and he didn't know what to do with it.

However, after a while, the man found out that the man had lost his memory, and he did not remember anything from the past, not even his own mother-in-law.

The old man said in a vivid voice, like a performer.

But the strange thing is still to come, the man stayed at home for several days with nothing to do, and his mother-in-law felt sorry for him, and did not let him go out of the mountains to hunt, but just let him stay in the house to rest, thinking that his man would get better soon and know himself soon. Four days later, however, something went wrong.

Sister-in-law Wang, who came to her house and ran the door, noticed something wrong as soon as she entered the door, but she couldn't say anything for a while, so she walked in, shouting as she walked, and as soon as she pushed open the door, she saw the mother-in-law lying on the bed, to be precise, the mother-in-law who died on the bed. There were no clothes on, not even the quilt covered some parts, and the man sat on the bed, his eyes blank, his face expressionless, naked.

Sister-in-law Wang was frightened and cried on the spot, crying loudly, but her legs were weak and she couldn't take a step, and sat down. The villagers who heard the cry of Wang's sister-in-law found the source of the sound as soon as possible, and soon the mother-in-law's house was crowded with people.

When I arrived at her house, I found that my mother-in-law's face was festering beyond recognition, and it continued to festering at a visible rate.

"There's something strange here", Liu Snake couldn't help but say after hearing it, frowning and looking very serious.

Yes, I knew the truth, so I immediately invited the priests from the village.

What did the priest say? Liu Snake seemed to be a little impatient, and immediately continued.

The priest said that this was the devil's dedication, and that the man was taken by the devil and later released, but it was no longer the original man who came back, but the messenger of the devil, who came to spread the curse! The old man's tone was very heavy, he was gritting his teeth and talking, and Liu Snake had clearly seen the green tendons on his neck that were protruding due to excessive force.

What did you do with that man? Although Liu Snake was still tied to the altar, he seemed to have forgotten his current situation and was deeply involved in the conversation with the old man. It's just that Zhou Lun's face has been frozen red and purple, and the snot hangs out of the left nostril like a green worm, frozen into a small ice cube above his lips.

The priest said that the man must be buried alive in order to break the devil's curse and usher in the blessing of the gods. The old man said.

Then did you really bury that man alive?" Liu Snake asked eagerly.

We had no choice but to do as the priest said.

So what happened? Is the curse lifted?

If it had been lifted, there would have been no six bodies on the altar now, and the two of you wouldn't be tied up here.

Liu Snake heard the old man's reminder, lowered his head and looked at the rope tied to his chest, raised his head and smiled bitterly, a big snowflake fell into Liu Snake's crystal pupils, and instantly turned into small water droplets, so small that he could barely see it, but he felt cold in his eyes, and wanted to use his hands to figure it out.

That's not a curse at all, is it? Liu Snake said loudly to the old man in the audience. Because the wind was stronger, the snow that had just fallen on the ground was rolled up again, and the heaven and earth were in chaos.

That's right, it's not a curse, it's a contagion, a disease that transcends the limits of human resistance, and if it does, it's a dead end. And the death is extremely tragic, making it impossible to look at it directly.

The woman also died, and the man was buried alive by you, so it stands to reason that the pathogen has been isolated, why are so many people dead now, and their faces are not as festering as you said? And he added: What does this have to do with us? We have not been infected, we have only just come here, and we saw a group of people dragging a group of people down the hill to see what was going on, so we followed them here.

Liu Snake tried to say that the old man could let himself and Zhou Lun go, and try to treat them in a civilized way to solve this seemingly ridiculous matter. Because after all, these people in the audience are all ignorant villagers, who have no spiritual power, don't understand martial arts, and a mortal can't swing a sword to slash and kill.

Liu Snake still has a problem that has not been clarified, if this problem is understood, they are not letting people go, Liu Snake may really want to do it, not for himself, but Zhou Lun next to him, seeing that this kid's body is quite strong, but he is so cold, there is a layer of frost on his eyebrows, and there is no sound, his head is vertical, and it is really distressing to watch.
