[Quick Time Travel] Charming System

This pattern is drawn in a circular shape, with a lot of textures carved on the cricoid cartilage, and it also looks like snake-like characters, and it also looks like animal shapes.

Suddenly, as if he had discovered something, his eyes widened in relief.

"This is……"

"Xiaozhang, Xiaozhang!" Professor Qin yelled twice but didn't hear a response. He turned his head and looked over, only to see that Xiaozhang had already stepped into the ancient temple with one foot!

"Zhang Huailin!"

Xiao Zhang's eyes were wide open, and he stared straight into the temple.Hearing the shout, he trembled all over, turned around, and met Professor Shangqin's angry eyes.

"……professor……"

"What are you doing? Didn't I tell you not to go in?" Professor Qin said angrily, "Come here!"

Xiaozhang stepped back with half of his foot that hadn't fully landed, and walked to Professor Qin's side.

"I'm sorry, Professor, I'm just too curious." Xiao Zhang squatted down next to Professor Qin, thought for a while, and said a little uneasily:

"Professor, I just saw inside..."

Professor Qin stopped asking about what happened just now, but interrupted him and asked him to take out the camera and take pictures of the patterns on the ground.

"What can you see in this picture?" Professor Qin asked him, pointing to the leftmost pattern.

Xiaozhang raised the camera to "click" to take a picture, and then looked at the place Professor Qin was pointing at.

"This pattern..." Xiao Zhang frowned: "It feels so familiar."

"Think again." Professor Qin said.

Xiao Zhang slapped his head: "I remembered!"

"The missing case!"

Soon it was dusk.

Professor Qin and Xiaozhang went down the mountain with a packed camera.Before leaving, Xiao Zhang looked back at the ancient temple. In a trance, the door of the ancient temple seemed to be opened a little wider, as if something had escaped from it and forgot to close the door.

A gust of wind blew, and Xiao Zhang shivered coldly.

"Xiao Zhang." Professor Qin called him back from the downhill, "What are you looking at? Let's go."

Xiao Zhang turned his head, and Professor Qin's face was vaguely unrecognizable.

The night wind blew, and the branches on the top of the mountain were rubbed together, and the leaves scraped and beat together to form a mysterious music.

The sun gradually sinks, and the sound of cicadas gradually fades away.

Night has come.

At the foot of the mountain, the lights of every house are lit up, gathering a long string of bright lights like a galaxy.

As soon as Professor Qin entered the door, he was stopped by Wu Laosan.

"Mr. Qin."

Professor Qin turned around, "What's wrong?"

Wu Laosan said: "You didn't go to town today?"

Professor Qin smiled: "Young people like novelty, but I'm old, and I'm not interested in those things. It's better to do research more realistically."

Wu Laosan nodded: "I forgot. But there is one thing, I still want to remind you."

Professor Qin said politely, "Okay, tell me."

"In the past few days, please don't go to the top of Qimin Mountain."

Xiao Zhang was taken aback for a moment, and when he was about to speak, Professor Qin held him back.

"Okay, we'll pay attention."

Fanwaiyi was sacrificed to God's "bride"

Silent night.

Xiaozhang poured water and returned to the room. Professor Qin was sitting beside the bed, reading a book with his glasses on.

After thinking about it, he still asked, "Professor, today..."

"I know what you want to say." Professor Qin turned a page of the book without raising his head, "It's okay."

"But," Xiaozhang walked to the bed, with a suspicious look on his face: "Qiminshan...is it us today..."

"Xiao Zhang," Professor Qin said, "Sometimes there are things that don't need to be too entangled. The things they taboo may not necessarily have an impact on us. We are doing historical research. If we are so particular, then many things Can't explore anymore."

Xiaozhang saw that Professor Qin avoided talking about today's events, so he changed the subject.

"By the way, professor, the photo you asked me to take today, I just copied it to the computer, do you want to see it now?"

Professor Qin put down the book and adjusted his glasses: "Bring the computer here."

Xiao Zhang handed the laptop to Professor Qin, and the two looked through it under the dim light.

The photo was taken at the time when the sun was at its brightest, the light was sufficient, and the photos were copied to the computer and displayed clearly. Xiaozhang held the computer with his big hands and flipped through the pages.

Turning to a certain page, Professor Qin pressed his hand: "Wait a minute."

Xiao Zhang looked over, and this photo looked very familiar.This is a stone carving that records the sacrificial ceremony. On it is a group of believers in a circle. Everyone has pious faces. In the middle is an altar with a statue taller than everyone else. The crowd surrounds the statue. Or kneel down or pray.

Among this group of villains who pray and worship, there is one villain who is particularly unique.He was different. The other villains were all dressed in plain black robes, but the villain was dressed in red, with long hair hanging behind him, and he raised his face and looked at the statue motionlessly.

"This should be the record picture of the scene of the Wu Clan's ceremony in ancient times. This tall statue should be the god of blessing of the Wu Clan in legend." Professor Qin swiped his hand across the screen and muttered: "Unexpectedly, that Wu Clan I was already able to draw patterns in this style with clarity."

"Look at the next one!"

Xiao Zhang pressed the button, and the next pattern appeared in front of the two of them.

The pattern on this photo follows the previous one.The statue in the center of the altar has changed its posture. He stretched out his right hand, palm up, and handed it to the little man in red.

Xiao Zhang's eyes widened: "Who is this red dress? Is it a sacrifice? God answered their prayers?"

Professor Qin shook his head: "No. Look here," he pointed to the edge of the photo: "The people praying here still have their heads down and nothing has changed. It means that God's hand is stretched out, and no one saw it."

"According to common sense, if God responds to the believers, they will only pray more devoutly and fervently, but there is no other change in their faces except piety."

Professor Qin said with emotion: "God has only shown mercy to one person."

Xiao Zhang: "Pity?"

Professor Qin nodded: "He should not be a believer."

He was referring to the villain in red.Indeed, the villain didn't have any expression on his face, he didn't kneel down or pray, he didn't look like a believer.

"But God reached out to him? What does that mean? An invitation?"

Professor Qin switched to the next photo and said, "It seems to be an invitation."

In the third photo, the villain in red is gone.

Professor Qin closed the page, called up the search box, and found the disappearance case that year.

What the missing young man was wearing back then happened to be a red wedding dress.

·

another house.

There are two beds in the room, one for Zhang Hao and Luo Xiangyu, and one for Shen Mian, who sleeps on a small 1.2-meter bed.

All three of them washed up, changed into their pajamas and shorts, and lay on the bed.

"It's cool in this mountain, and you don't need to blow the air conditioner or fan at night." Luo Xiangyu folded his hands behind his head and said with emotion: "Let me tell you, when I get old, I will find a village or a small town and rent a small yard. Spend your old age in peace."

Zhang Hao smiled: "You? One thought a day, it's hopeless."

"Why can't I be saved? Young people can't have weird ideas anymore? And I'm serious, Wu Town is pretty good, although it's said outside, but we've been here for two days, and there's nothing strange... "

Shen Mian was lying on the bed alone, covered with a quilt, listening to the two senior brothers talking about the mountains.

The surrounding lights gradually went dark, and the surroundings also became silent. Shen Mian's upper and lower eyelids were fighting, accompanied by Luo Xiangyu's noise, and gradually fell into a dream.

—God, please look at me.

——You brought me with you, why don't you want to look at me?

——My lord, your hair is too long, may I tidy it up for you?

——I made you a new robe, would you like to try it?

—This garland is really suitable for you, shall I put it on you?

——The girls in the human world told me that the bracelet is for the sweetheart, can I give it to you?

—I don't like them!I will never talk to them again!

—God, I love you.

--you are always like this.Your people occupy your whole mind, and you don't even have a little room for me.

—Look at me.Please look at me.

God quietly stared at the young man in red in front of him for a moment, and in the sad and hopeless eyes of the young man, he turned his head and walked towards the mortal who was kneeling down on the floor.

——It would be great if you were the only believer in me.

The next moment, the picture collapsed, countless fragments fell from the sky, and the statues were mottled and cracked, falling into dust one by one.

The young man in red stood in the midst of the mess, his black hair was flying, his black pupils were like night, and blood spilled from the corners of his mouth and eyes.

"Amian, you forced me."

Ah Mian, you forced me.

Slumber and open your eyes.

The glare of the light shone down from above his head, causing a few tears to flow from the corners of his eyes.Luo Xiangyu and Zhang Hao's moderate conversation came from my ear.

Shen Mian put his arms on his forehead, it was cold and sweaty, and he broke out in a cold sweat while sleeping.

Shen Mian turned over and looked out the window.

The movement of his turning over was not small, Luo Xiangyu stopped talking, and leaned half against the bed: "Slumber? Woke up?"

Shen Mian let out a "hmm", "I had a dream."

Wake up and forget.I only remember one sentence, it was a paranoid and crazy voice, call him Ah Mian.

I don't think anyone ever called him that.But this name Shen Mian felt so familiar, so familiar, as if someone had called him that way before.

Affectionate, lingering, smiling, tender, desperate and sad, hateful and sad.

It's all the same voice.

calling him:

Ah Mian.

Shen Mian clutched her forehead, having a splitting headache.

Ever since he stepped into the southwest territory and entered Wu Town, he hasn't had a good night's sleep, and the elk that he met that day could turn into a human...

Is it a hallucination?

What the hell is wrong with him.

Fanwaiyi was sacrificed to God's "bride"

In the morning, the sun just came out.

Shen Mian really couldn't fall asleep, got up from the bed early and got dressed.

He didn't get up much, but Zhang Hao still heard it. He opened his eyes, "Shen Mian?"

Zhang Hao also lifted the quilt and sat up from the bed, "Why did you wake up so early?"

"I can't sleep anymore." Shen Mian changed her shoes and folded the quilt casually, "I'll go out for a walk."

The door closed with a "creak", Zhang Hao glanced at Shen Mian's leaving back, turned his head and pushed away Luo Xiangyu's foot that had turned over and put it on his lap, and also got up.

Outside the door, after Shen Mian finished washing, she stood in the yard and took a deep breath. The gloom of the night seemed to be swept away by the morning dew.

The Wu family seemed to have gotten up early and gone out.It was inconvenient for Shen Mian to touch other people's things when the master was not around, so he stood at the gate of the courtyard for a while, and opened the door.

"Shen Mian," Zhang Hao followed from behind, "wait for me, let's go shopping together."

Someone was pushing a small cart on the trail and was selling some food. They were all breakfasts like steamed buns and soy milk. Zhang Hao bought two cups of soy milk and some buns and steamed buns.

Shen Mian didn't have any appetite, so she only took a cup of soy milk and drank a few sips.It has a strong bean flavor and is a very pure taste.

Zhang Hao swallowed the bun in his mouth and said, "What's wrong with you these days? Are you not used to this place?"

Shen Mian was a little surprised.After he came to Wu Town, he really didn't get used to it, and he was always flustered, as if something that would affect his life would happen here.

He is very disturbed.But he hides these emotions very well.Unexpectedly, Zhang Hao could find out.

But... Shen Mian shook her head: "No."

There's no need for senior brother to worry about him, Shen Mian smiled: "You think too much, I just accept the bed, I didn't sleep well, so I don't look very good."

Zhang Hao frowned, and nodded suspiciously.Since Shen Mian didn't want to say more, he didn't want to ask too much.

The two walked aimlessly, and unknowingly came to the foot of a mountain.

"It's quite high." Zhang Hao said with emotion: "This is the famous Qimin Mountain, right?"

"Qimin Mountain?" Shen Mian took a few steps forward: "Is it famous?"

Zhang Hao smiled: "Fortunately, it is still very famous in the southwest area. According to ancient historical records, it is said to be the sacred mountain of the Wu people."

"Really...is there a god?" Shen Mian muttered, not knowing whether she was asking Zhang Hao or herself.

"Huh?" Zhang Hao looked at him: "Why do you ask this question suddenly?"

"I just think," Shen Mian thought for a while, "Wu Zhen is actually quite magical. Maybe those legends are not fake?"

"Legend?" Zhang Hao asked strangely, "What legend?"

"Are you talking about the legend that the young man was favored by the gods and then taken away by the gods?" Zhang Hao laughed: "That must have been made up by the villagers! How could there be gods who kidnapped human beings? This is too ridiculous .”

"That is to say, the disappearance cannot be explained by science, so it is covered with a layer of metaphysics."

Shen Mian twitched the corner of her mouth, "Maybe."

During the conversation, the two had already walked halfway up the mountain.The sun had already risen to the top of the head, and a thin layer of sweat had already formed on Shen Mian's forehead.

Zhang Hao glanced at him: "Why don't you go back? I think it will heat up later."

Shen Mian looked up, the sunlight was a bit dazzling, he half-closed his eyes, looked at the top of the mountain, "I want to go up and have a look."

Zhang Hao sighed, "Okay, it's up to you. Just go and have a look."

The sun gradually rose, the air gradually became hotter and hotter, the cicadas on the trees kept singing, the sun shined through the gaps in the branches and onto the mountain path, Shen Mian climbed to the top of the mountain step by step on the fine sunlight.

On the top of the mountain is an ancient temple.Shen Mian stepped forward, stepped on the altar, and stopped in front of the dilapidated temple gate.

"Why is it so broken?" Zhang Hao followed, looked at the altar on the ground, then turned around and poked the door frame with his finger: "This place should be a place for them to hold ceremonies, right? Why does this ancient temple look so old?"

Shen Mian didn't answer him, but raised her hand and pressed her palm against the door.

"Hey," Zhang Hao grabbed him, "What are you doing? Do you want to go in?"

Shen Mian let out a "hmm", "I want to go in and have a look."

Zhang Hao frowned in embarrassment, "This place actually looks quite creepy..."

"Brother, wait for me outside." Shen Mian pushed his hand away, "I'll be out soon."

The door was pushed open with a "squeak," and a dilapidated and corrupt smell overflowed through the half-open door.

The inside of the temple is pitch-black, and looking in from the outside, it looks like some wild animal greedily opened its mouth in the darkness, waiting for its prey to automatically step into the trap.

A gust of cold wind blew past, Zhang Hao shivered, and stood a little further away silently.

Shen Mian blinked nervously, her heart was suddenly clenched, and her heartbeat accelerated.

Something watched him in the dark.

He hesitated.But the next moment, the feeling of being stared at disappeared.The creepy feeling was gone, as if being watched just now was just his illusion.

Shen Mian clenched her fists, raised her feet and walked in.

Zhang Hao watched Shen Mian walk into the darkness.

There are caves in the temple.From the outside, the ancient temple is broken and old, but the inside is decorated with grandeur and simplicity.Objects are exquisite, elegant and classic.The reason why it looks dark and gloomy from the outside is because the shading stones are built on the beams of the door, which can block the sight of the outside world, but there is nothing to hide from the inside.

Shen Mian walked carefully to the statue in the middle.

The whole body of the statue is pitch black, the black robe drags the floor, and the long hair is tied into a high ponytail with a black crown.The statue has a serious face, firm eyes, and a smile on its lips.

Shen Mian was amazed, the carving of this statue was ingenious and lifelike, just like the incarnation of a real person.

By coincidence, Shen Mian raised her hand and touched the robe of the statue.

The candle flickered at this moment, the dim light hurt Shen Mian's eyes, he closed his eyes, and withdrew his hand to wipe the teardrops from the corners of his eyes.

Looking up again, I don't know if he was wrong before, the arc of the idol's mouth seems to be a little restrained, not as happy as before?

Did he remember wrongly?

Shen Mian looked around and saw a figure in the corner.

people?

"Where is who?" Shen Mian's heartbeat quickened, he knelt down and picked up a board in his hand, and walked towards the figure.

The figure stood quietly in the corner without making any sound.

Shen Mian grasped the board tightly, her lips were tightly pressed together, and she moved forward step by step.

However, when he got closer, he found that it was not a figure at all.

That is a piece of clothing.Hanging there, it stands like a person.

It was a red dress.

This is a wedding dress!

The wooden plank in Shen Mian's hand fell to the ground with a clang, kicking up fine dust.

He froze in place, as if struck by lightning.

Fanwaiyi was sacrificed to God's "bride"

There is a fool in Wugu Village.

Fools are from out of town.Dirty, lying at the entrance of the village, he was found by people who went out to go to the market in the village and rescued him.

The village doctor wiped the fool's face clean and found him very handsome.

The girls in the group liked the fool's face very much.The idiot cleaned up and looked particularly attractive in ordinary times.

"—It's a pity that he is a fool."

If he was a sane man, the girls in Baobuqi village would all be vying to marry him.

The fool lived in the village for more than ten days, and the villagers asked him what his name was, where he lived, and how he came here.

Only two words can be uttered in his mouth: Chaomu.

Even after knowing the idiot's name, the villagers still like to call him idiot.The men in the village didn't like him and pitied him.

He's so good-looking but he's an idiot, his face is really in vain.

The youngest son of the family in the east of the village taunted the fool at the girl he was chasing.What are you doing so good-looking?If it were me, I would rather be ugly than be a fool.

He is stupid, and he is not a threat to the young men in the village, and the women in the village are happy to have a handsome man to look at every day.The fool just stayed in the village.

I have lived here for almost a year.

It was at this time that a strange thing happened.

It was a rainy night.It rained heavily that night, and people from the village who entered the mountain were trapped on the mountain.

In desperation, everyone had no choice but to hide from the rain and go deeper, planning to hide in a temple in the middle of the mountain.

The fool happened to live in the temple in the middle of the mountain.In the team that entered the mountain, several men hated idiots, so the idiots were driven out and spent the night in the freezing rain.

At dawn the next day, the team came out of the temple and found the fool outside in a coma.The team leader kicked the idiot away and led them away.

Someone quietly went back to look at it, and found that the fool had died.

Things get weird here.

Because half a month later, the fool reappeared at the entrance of the village.

He was wearing a red wedding gown, long hair shawls, long robes that dragged the floor, a little cinnabar between his eyebrows, and he said to everyone:

"Have you seen my Amian?"

He knocked on the doors of the villagers' houses one by one, and gestured to them about Amian's appearance and Amian's height...

Ah Mian Ah Mian Ah Mian.

Everyone only thought that he was even crazier after he disappeared and returned, and never paid more attention to his words.

At the same time, there was a lunatic in the village.

The one who found out that the fool had died.He pointed at the fool when he met everyone, and said:

"That's a ghost!"

But no one believed him because he was a madman.A fool will not show anything, because he is a fool.

But once the fool looks at the madman, the madman will shake his body and run away, looking like a fool who is terrified.

The villagers regarded the two of them as a joke.But gradually they stopped talking about the two, because they had new things to be busy with.

The annual worship ceremony has begun.

The god of Wugu Village is an amiable and respectable god.He has slender eyebrows and good eyes, and has a smiling face all the year round. Under his protection, the Wugu Village has a good weather every year.

This year's ceremony has also been prepared early.While preparing the items for the ceremony, the idiot came again wearing a red wedding dress.

His suit is really conspicuous.The villagers were afraid that he would make trouble, and wanted to drive him away, coaxing him to lie to him, and wanting him to go to other places to play.

The fool refused.Instead of making trouble, he moved a straw mat and sat under the god statue invited by the villagers from the family temple, leaning against the god statue.

Seeing that he was really not making trouble, the villagers ignored him.

Soon it will be the night of worshiping the gods.

During the ceremony, the crowd pulled the fool out of the idol and squeezed him out of the crowd.

The festival is very lively, but the fool is very lonely.He stood quietly outside the crowd, still wearing the red wedding dress, his face full of indifference.

Someone bumped into him, turned around and saw that it was a fool, and pushed him over, "Go, go! Don't block here! Get out!"

The fool fell backwards, and saw that his head was about to hit the tip of the stone on the ground.

Someone reached out and pulled him up.

To be precise, she reached out to hold him, and then smiled at him with a bright smile.

"Zhaomu, I'm here to pick you up."

Zhao Mu's eyes lit up, and after a while, they were filled with tears.

"Why are you crying?" The person holding him hurriedly wiped his tears, "I'm sorry, I can't leave the mountain normally. I can only come out to see it during the festival."

Chao Mu's eyes were red, and he held the man's hand tightly with his backhand.

"Amian, I found you."

The boy named Ah Mian's eyes curled up when he laughed, and the dimples around his mouth were exposed.

He pulled Zhao Mu over and led him forward, "Would you like to go to my house to play? It might get a bit boring after a long time, but..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhao Mu couldn't wait to speak, "I'll go!"

Zhao Mu looked at Ah Mian, "I want to be with you. Always be together."

Amian was taken aback for a moment, then turned her head and said, "It will take a while."

"Even if that's the case," Amian said with a smile in her voice, "Would you like it, Zhao Mu?"

"Yeah." Zhao Mu stared at Ah Mian closely: "I want to be with you forever."

"it is good."

The fool is missing.

Right in front of the villagers, he disappeared out of thin air.

The recording officer who recorded the ceremony watched the fool in the red wedding dress disappear before his eyes, and recorded this scene vividly.

But everyone doesn't care, they are just fools, if they disappear, they disappear.Who cares?

Except for a few little girls, who occasionally sigh with regret, and then let it go.

No one knew that the idiot Chaomu was taken to his home by a boy named Ah Mian.

Ah Mian's home is very luxurious, with carved beams and painted buildings. The main courtyard is a huge statue of God. Ah Mian said that it was his elder.So Chao Mu obediently bowed down to the statue.

Outside the courtyard are big trees covering the sky, surrounding the courtyard.The backyard is a crystal-clear stream, where many animals drink and play.

Seeing Ah Mian coming in, everyone stopped their movements, and their eyes fell on Zhao Mu behind him.

The elk lying on the top stood up, walked up to Amian, and rubbed his cheek affectionately, "My lord, why did you bring humans back?"

Chaomu's eyes widened.

"Amian," he took Ah Mian's hand and blocked the person behind him, "this deer..."

Amian stuck her head out from his shoulder: "I'm not human. Are you afraid?"

Zhao Mu was shocked.He looked at Amian, "You..."

He looked at the elk again: "It..."

Ah Mian let out a "puchi" laugh, "I appeared in the mountains on a rainy night! Didn't you ever think that I would be a fairy?"

Looking at his smile, Zhao Mu unconsciously laughed too.

He said, "I'm not afraid."

Episode 8 is sacrificed to God's "bride" ([-])

Today is the day of offering sacrifices to the gods in Wu Town.

There are lights and festoons everywhere in the town, which is very lively.

The ceremonial days in the town are all presided over by generations of witch families.Of course, as I said before, there are no so-called witches in Wu Town.However, there is indeed a family in Wuzhen who has presided over the rituals of Wuzhen for generations.

That is the mayor's family of Wu Town.

This year's worship ceremony was also presided over by Mayor Wu.

Mayor Wu lives in the mansion where the mayor is the most unassuming.Early in the morning, Mayor Wu's house was busy.

Wu Sinan came out of the ancestral hall.After being locked in the ancestral hall for a long time, the moment he stepped out of the ancestral hall, he raised his hand to cover his eyes.

The sun is strong and a little harsh.

The person sent by his father stood aside, "Master, let's go, your father is still waiting for you in the main hall."

Wu Sinan shrugged and followed them to the main hall.

Mayor Wu sat in the upper seat, and when he saw his son coming in, he pointed to the seat beside him: "Sit."

The others quickly packed up their things and retreated, leaving the main hall to the father and son.

Wu Sinan sat down and looked at his father. Before he could speak, Mayor Wu asked him first.

"Do you know why I asked you to reflect in the ancestral hall?"

Wu Sinan swallowed, "Disrespect God?"

Mayor Wu looked at him, and slowly put down the cigarette, "You said you saw that person?"

Sinan Wu lowered his head: "I was wrong."

"You read that right." Mayor Wu said, "I've seen the boy you mentioned."

Wu Sinan raised his head suddenly, "Then you still..."

"I thought I was wrong." Mayor Wu sighed, and looked at his only son, "What kind of god do you think we worship? Is it really the original god?"

Wu Sinan was stunned.

Someone hesitated outside the door for a moment, but Mayor Wu saw him, "Come in."

The visitor walked up to Mayor Wu, bent down and whispered something close to his ear.

Mayor Wu did not shy away from Wu Sinan, and said, "Then kill the black dog in the backyard, and the blood of the black dog must be spared tonight."

"Black dog?" Wu Sinan frowned and thought for a while, "Isn't tonight a ritual ceremony?"

Why use black dog blood?Isn't that to ward off evil spirits?

"That's right." Mayor Wu stood up and looked at Wu Sinan with deep eyes. "It's a ritual for offering sacrifices to the gods. But I said it before."

Mayor Wu laughed, "Is the god we worship in Wuzhen a righteous god?"

Wu Sinan was shocked.

eight pm.The ceremony of offering sacrifices to the gods has begun.

The lights started to spread from the foot of the mountain, all the way up, the mountains were illuminated by lights, but it was at night, and the red lanterns came up, making the highest mountain in Wu Town look like a ghost mountain.

32 girls in black robes formed a circle, their faces were covered with black gauze, their eyes were covered with black stones, and they walked barefoot on the mountain road.

Surrounded by the girls was a sedan chair carried by sixteen shirtless, middle-aged men.

It is not quite accurate to say it is a sedan chair.It was a small ancestral hall with four pillars carved out of jade. It was hollow on all sides, half covered with red and black gauze, and half covered with white gauze, so that the enshrined things inside were barely visible.

In front were nine boys and girls leading the way, one leading the way, and the other four on each side walking behind, with their heads lowered holding the burning incense.The girl at the head carried a bamboo basket filled with black paper gauze, which she sprinkled all the way to the sky.

Going forward, it is the host of the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the gods.He was also dressed in a black robe, with a hideous mask on his face, and he also walked up with bare feet.

After the worshiping procession, came the townspeople.Everyone lowered their heads, knelt down three steps at a time, and walked up the mountain.

The entire team was silent, only the breathing of the crowd climbing the mountain, the chirping of birds in the deep mountains, and occasionally the caressing of grass and trees caused by the passing of small animals.

Shen Mian and the others walked at the back of the line, and felt goosebumps on their bodies when they saw this weird scene.

"I said," Luo Xiangyu trembled, "Isn't he too creepy? Are you going to shoot ghost movies next here?"

Shen Mian also felt that something was wrong, it was weird enough that the ceremony of worshiping the gods was held at night, and it was the first time he encountered a priest wearing black clothes.Black and red, late at night, the fuck.

Worship to God?Is he doing sacrifices to ghosts?

However, Shen Mian would not say these words, because the surrounding townspeople were extremely devout at the moment the ceremony started, so devout that it frightened him.

But if Shen Mian looked carefully, or if it was daytime, Shen Mian might find that the townspeople's faces were not only devout.

The sky was completely dark.The surroundings were extremely quiet, the sound of footsteps and heavy breathing FBJQDF were intertwined, and Shen Mian followed her up, feeling that the atmosphere of this ritual ceremony was really strange.

"Professor," Shen Mian walked quickly in front of Professor Qin, "Is the ceremony in Wu Town really like this?"

Professor Qin's face was hidden in the flickering lights, making it hard to see clearly.However, Shen Mian intuitively felt that Professor Qin's eyes were on her.

He heard Professor Qin's voice, panting heavily, "Amian, you have to look carefully for yourself."

Shen Mian was stunned.

Amian?Why did the professor call him that?

In just a few seconds when he was stunned, the professor had already bypassed him and led his assistant for a long way.

Zhang Hao came up from behind and patted him on the shoulder, "What's wrong? Are you tired? How about taking a rest?"

Shen Mian shook her head and refused: "It's coming soon, it doesn't matter."

He wants to go to the top of the mountain to see again.After the wedding dress was discovered that day, he and Zhang Hao were discovered.

It was the townspeople who went to put offerings in the temple to see them.They were scolded a lot, saying they had offended the gods.But for some reason, the people in Wu Town didn't punish them for this.

Zhang Hao knew what he was thinking by looking at his expression, "Don't get entangled. The wedding dress you mentioned, wasn't the wedding dress at that time the same? The people in the town also said that the wedding dress was They put it there all the time. You're just crazy!"

Shen Mian looked at him and smiled, but didn't speak.

He knew that Zhang Hao and the others would not believe what he said.

That wedding dress was indeed exactly the same as that worn by the young man in his dream.

This is by no means a coincidence!

He must go and see again, what is going on!

He had a hunch that after he came to Wu Town, the answers to all the things he encountered were connected to the wedding dress in that ancient temple!

As long as he can see that wedding dress again, as long as he can look at it again, he will definitely be able to...

He must be able to...

The mountain has arrived.

The procession of worshiping the gods stopped, and the night wind blew away a corner of the black veil covering the carried sedan chair.

The two statues of gods placed inside were exposed.

Episode 9 is sacrificed to God's "bride" ([-])

The worship ceremony of Wugu Village is held once a year.

What the villagers enshrine is a very kind god.

The god is dressed in a white robe, with shoulder-length hair. He likes to wear a green hosta and a magnolia on his temples all the year round. He sits on an elk with extremely long horns, plays in the mountains, and sometimes points out the way down for the lost. road.

As for Zhao Mu, he was saved by the gods on that rainy night when he was about to die.

But Zhaomu didn't know that it was the gods who saved him.He only knew that the one who saved him was a good-looking young man with white clothes like clouds and long hair like waterfalls. When he bent over to lift him up, a faint fragrance of magnolia wafted to his nostrils.

They stayed together in the mountains for a long time, sunset and sunrise, streams gurgling, dilapidated huts, they did with the sunrise, and rested with the sunset.

Chaomu has always dreamed of such a day, just like ordinary people, with human touch.

He thought, it would be great if he could continue like this with Ah Mian.

But when Ah Mian heard what he said, her flowers trembled with laughter, and the magnolia flowers on her temples trembled accordingly.

"No way," Ah Mian wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, "I can't spend the rest of my life with you like ordinary people."

Chao Mu's heart tightened: "Why?"

Chao Mu was very anxious, "I'm not stupid, I'm not like what the people at the bottom of the mountain said, I just don't want to talk to them, that's why..."

"I know, that's not what I'm talking about." Amian sat up straight and sighed, "Hey, you don't understand."

Zhaomu was so uncomfortable that he didn't sleep well all night.

What does he not understand?He is really not a fool, is there anything that Amian can't tell him?

He didn't wait for Ah Mian's explanation. One morning, he woke up from his sleep and found that he was sent down the mountain.

Ah Mian is gone.Zhao Mu frantically went to the mountain to find it. He wandered around the mountain for many days, but he couldn't find the dilapidated cabin where they lived for many days.

Ah Mian doesn't want him anymore.

Chaomu returned to the village in a daze.Wandering in the village day after day, wearing a tattered dress, looking for and searching in the village all day long, asking everyone.

Have you seen my Ah Mian?

White clothes, long hair, a green hosta, and a magnolia on the temple.

everyone said he was crazy
