After expressing my speculation that the memories of Luo Muhan and others might be erased, I looked at Qingwan and Qiqige with some sorrow, and was a little depressed for a while. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, when I felt that the passage of time in the past few days seemed to be a little different from normal time, I was a little skeptical that I was also gradually assimilated by the aura here.

"It doesn't matter, but you want to hear about my burning at the stake?"

Qingwan said after taking a few sips of clear wine.

When I heard the news, my eyes lit up, and I diluted the question of time a lot.

"What's the news?" I said hurriedly.

"The burning at the stake that day, to be precise, was a sacrificial activity, and although it was cruel, it was indeed a ritual that was held every once in a while in this village. Qingwan said.

Sacrifice?

I frowned, and said with some indignation: "Even if it is a sacrifice, it is too cruel to burn people alive." ”

Thinking of this, I immediately thought of the story I learned when I was a child about Simon Leopard's water control. Originally, I thought that the sacrifice of living people was just a tragedy that happened in ancient times when I had a limited understanding of things and was ignorant and ignorant, but I didn't expect that it would happen to me now.

However, it is not difficult to understand that the people here are dressed up in ancient costumes and make living sacrifices.

However, it is not difficult to understand but does not mean that we agree, and understanding only understands the reasons but not their suffering, let alone their behavior.

I was indignant, and Qing Wan continued: "If you want to talk about the origin of this sacrifice, you have to start with the appearance of this village. I don't know how many years ago, some people came to the beach to escape the war. When there was no way forward, one person made a wish that if he could be rescued by heaven, he was willing to sacrifice his life. Just as the man promised, suddenly the sky was dark, a whirlpool appeared on the sea, and a green dragon soared into the air, and in an instant the wind was fierce, and lightning and thunder roared. The pursuers were blown out of sight. Then, the green dragon Dao dragon breath hit the sea, and a road appeared out of thin air. Guided by the dragon, the group made their way to this isolated place surrounded by water. At the same time, the giant dragon Pang Xuan was over the land, spitting dragon balls into the sun, but the dragon balls appeared for a moment, and the person who made the promise disappeared. Then the dragon disappeared, and only the dragon balls shone on the land. So those who fled settled here. Later, every once in a while, or a few years or a dozen years, the dragon's figure would appear in the sky, and the sea would gradually pour in. The villagers tried countless methods in panic, and in the end, one person was still willing to sacrifice himself, and the sea disappeared with the dragon. So later, every time the dragon appeared, someone in the village would sacrifice their lives for it. This is the time, and we just happened to run into it. ”

I was stunned for a moment when I heard Qing Wan's words, and it took me a long time to ponder, and then I was curious: "The dragon you are talking about is the dragon we saw when we came in that day?"

Seeing Qingwan nodding, I said again, "Where did you hear this?"

"There are records in the village books, and those village girls have never deliberately concealed it in their chats, so it's easy to know this information. Qingwan said.

Hearing her words, I smiled bitterly and said, "So, I went to Luo Muhan at the beginning, was it wrong for them to go to them, after all, they are contestants, not villagers here." It's just that I've been assimilated by this breath. ”

Qing Wan smiled lightly and said, "Stupid, I didn't let you go to them in the first place, it was just your own wishful thinking." ”

I was helpless, and a little melancholy: "Anyway, what's the use of knowing this? There are clues to break the game in it?"

The words made Qing Wan's smile disappear, and she shook her head and said, "No, but I have heard a piece of news in the past few days?"

"What's the news?" I said in a hurry again.

"When we came in, you saw the sea around here, and the bubbles that cut off the sea, right?" Qing Wan didn't answer me directly, but asked.

Thinking back to the picture I saw that day, I nodded and asked curiously, "What's the matter, could it be that these bubbles can actually be punctured?"

"If this bubble can really be punctured, it is estimated that the villagers will not dare to try it, but will be very worried that the bubble will suddenly burst one day, and then the village will completely sink to the bottom of the sea. However, despite the fact that a catastrophe was averted when they came here, over the years, because of the sea and other reasons, there have always been people who have been looking for a way out. And, it seems, I really found it. Qingwan said.

"That's good news. I said, and then said, "But I'm afraid it's not that easy." ”

Qingwan nodded and said, "Yes, because this way out is just a legend, and no one has ever confirmed it." Moreover, those who walked that path ended up dying miserably. So while many people are eager to get out and see the outside world, not many actually take the risk to try. ”

"What the hell is the road?" I wondered.

"One, that exists but can't be seen, the road to heaven?"

Hearing this, I frowned slightly, and muttered: "The road to heaven, does it mean that after walking, you will ascend to heaven and die?"

My complaint made Qing Wanwan smile and said, "Who knows, but, according to the book records and the descriptions of the villagers, I speculate that this road has something to do with the green dragon?"

"How?" I wondered.

"Possibly, that road is the body of the green dragon. And at the end of the road is the head of the green dragon, that is, the top layer of the sky here, and when you go out, you will go out of the sea and return to the world. Qingwan speculated.

After pondering for a moment, I looked at Kikige, who had been listening quietly but had not said a word, and said, "Senior, when you came here before, you led us through the cave and from the stone wall. If it's reversed, can I go back?"

"No, you can't. Kikige said very simply, but did not explain anything.

I was a little disappointed, and then complained: "If it's really a dragon's back, most of those who walk on this road to heaven will end up falling to pieces." ”

"Uh-huh, you guessed it. Qingwan said, but there seemed to be some curiosity between the words as to how I guessed.

"If it's you, someone is stepping on your back, can you bear it? As soon as you turn over in anger, those people will naturally fall off. "Even though it's a complaint, the thought that I might have to step on someone's back and maybe get thrown off at the same time makes my words seem quite weak.

Qingwan smiled slightly and did not answer. I don't know if I don't know how to answer because of my complaints, or if I feel that I have some childish words at the moment and there is nothing to answer.

She was silent, but I still said with some reluctance: "Is there any other news?"
