Chapter 277: The Altar
"Do you think they're really going to let us go?"
Early the next morning, before the sun rose, in a courtyard of Yingkezhai, Zhang Xuanqing and several people gathered in front of the stone table in the courtyard, and Chen Lei once again brought up the topic that had been discussed for a long time last night. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
At this time, two more people were added to their team, a man and a woman, both of whom were waiters, the male was called Luo Liang, and the female was called Wei Weiwei. Because the courtyard was one of ten, and these two people did not "team up", they were "assigned" to Zhang Xuanqing and them.
Luo Liang is an extremely handsome boy, wearing narrow-framed glasses, a little cowardly, hearing Chen Lei's question, he stumbled and said, "Yes...... I guess so...... He...... They ...... yesterday Isn't it good for us? ”
"Have you ever heard that a death row inmate will let him eat a big meal before he is executed?" After Luo Liang finished speaking, a cold sentence immediately floated next to him.
It was Wei Weiwei who spoke, she was very beautiful, but she was also a little difficult to approach, and she couldn't speak, I'm afraid this is also the reason why her popularity is not very good.
But there is also a colder Liu Ping here: "Death row prisoner, you can be a prisoner if you want to be a prisoner, don't take me with you." ”
"Ha-" Wei smiled slightly disdainfully: "I can't get used to you young ladies, what are you pretending to be." You're not a prisoner, do you really think of yourself as a VIP? Since you're a VIP, why don't you go and try it and see if they let you go?"
"You!" Liu Ping's eyebrows straightened, when did someone say this to her? If it was normal, this Wei Weiwei probably wouldn't dare to say this, but at this time, she just felt that everyone was hopeless, so she dared to sneer at her, how could she not be angry?
The words of counterattack were just about to be spoken, but they were stopped halfway: "Okay, I said two girls, when is this happening, and you still have the heart to quarrel!"
It's Chen Chenchen.
He was the oldest among the people, and he was a little more calm than a few youngsters, and said analytically: "Whether we are prisoners or VIPs of those villagers, the most important thing now is how to save our lives." ”
"That's right!" As soon as he finished speaking, his partner Wu Liuqi chimed in beside him: "Although in the mouth of the little girl named Wenwen yesterday, that 'Yunmeng Lake' seems to be a good place to go. But why would they give it to people they don't know? Either they're completely lying to us, or even if it's good, it's more dangerous!"
Mr. Jin nodded loudly on the side: "What the two of you said is good, I also feel that these villagers don't look at what they say, but they definitely don't have a good heart." ”
"For the sake of today, we can only act on the opportunity. It's a pity that when I went ashore, I didn't see other small boats on the edge of the island, and the big ship was too big. Otherwise, we can steal a boat and leave. Mrs. Han also expressed her opinion on the side.
In just a few words, nine out of ten people spoke. Only Zhang Xuanqing was silent, extremely silent. However, Chen Chenchen observed that if he was the calmest among all the people, he was probably the only one. Thinking that the other party knew his daughter, his heart moved slightly, and asked, "What do you think of this little brother?"
"That's right, Brother Zhang, aren't you a Taoist priest? Chen Lei remembered Zhang Xuanqing's identity at this time, and her eyes lit up.
Chen Chenchen raised his eyebrows, Taoist priest, but he heard Liu Ping say coldly: "What kind of Taoist priest, he is a charlatan." Boss Chen, look at your daughter, don't let people deceive you. ”
"Hehe-" Chen Chenchen smiled, after last night's contact, he had already seen that the two of them were not dealing with each other, but he didn't know why.
At this moment, there was a few knocks on the door, and then the courtyard door was opened, and a villager in his forties came in and said with a smile: "A few distinguished guests, the village chief wants me to invite you to the altar of heaven." ”
The altar of heaven is behind the welcome house and is a very large square. Chen Chenchen and the others knew that it was useless to refuse at this time, so they simply followed the villagers very happily and walked out. Walking out of the door, Chen Lei and Zhang Xuanqing fell behind and asked him again if he had figured out anything. Zhang Xuanqing just waved his hand and shook his head and said he didn't know.
He did calculate a hexagram last night, but the hexagram is chaotic, yin and yang are reversed, whether Taiji will come for a while, and whether Taiji will come for a while, the good luck and evil are really unpredictable, and he doesn't want to say it to make the other party frightened. On the way, I met other passengers who had been kidnapped, all in groups of ten, and were taken by the villagers to the altar of heaven.
This welcoming place is really not small, there are so many of them living in it, and there are still many courtyards that are empty. After walking for about ten minutes, I arrived at a stone-paved square. The size of a football field, in the center, there are five stone pillars waist thick and ten meters high, enclosing in a circle. There are some intricate patterns carved on it, full of quaint atmosphere, and it looks like it is some years old, definitely not less than a thousand years.
Village Chief Jiang had already led people to wait in front of the five stone pillars, with incense cases next to them, and three animals and six animals on them. There were also ten villagers, shirtless, with colorful lines painted on their bodies, and their faces were also covered in color. But if you look closely, you can still recognize that one of them is actually the little leader named Xiaotian yesterday.
When everyone arrived, they stood densely on the square, and the sun had just risen. Village Chief Jiang turned his back to the rising sun, with a bright smile on his face, and said loudly: "Distinguished guests, I know that you must have doubts about what I said yesterday. But soon you won't! I can guarantee that you will be glad you have come here when you go to Yunmeng Lake. ”
"What are you kidding!" a person in the crowd stood up, still the same young man from yesterday: "You say something good, you have the ability to let us go." ”
"That's it!"
"If you want us to go to that 'Yunmeng Lake', at least tell us what kind of place it is!"
Someone took the lead, and immediately someone chimed in.
Village Chief Jiang still smiled: "Don't worry, if you don't want to go to Yunmeng Lake, you can also stay in Yingkezhai, but if you don't go to Yunmeng Lake, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave the island." That's our rule here. If outsiders want to leave the island, they must go to Yunmeng Lake, if you want to leave when you come back. As for where Yunmeng Lake is, I will send someone to lead you there!"
The people sent were the few people who were painted all over the body of the little leader, and after Village Chief Jiang finished speaking, he ignored the crowd and held a ceremony to worship the sky. It's nothing more than the gods chanting a few verses, but I didn't hear them clearly because the voice was too soft. After that, he toasted the ten men of the little leader. Then, the ten people led by the little leader led a group of captives to Yunmeng Lake.
It is worth mentioning that Village Chief Jiang really speaks the truth. Some of the people were afraid that Yunmeng Lake was in danger, and when they heard that they didn't need to go, they immediately said they wanted to stay. Then Village Chief Jiang really agreed. This kind of performance made Zhang Xuanqing more and more puzzled, what is their purpose? (To be continued.) )
