Hit ghost

"This is... Qu Wan?!" The two people beside him also saw it, Xie Jin gasped, the densely packed red snakes were still writhing, and the red jumping body would directly bring physical discomfort to people.

"Could it be the Zhao family who kidnapped her?" Ji Duan also frowned, those little red snakes were like twisting blood vessels, if Qu Wan hadn't struggled to get half of her face out with the last bit of strength, they would have even done so miss.

"Big old Wen, how can I save this...!" Ji Duan just turned his head to see Wen Liang's next move, when he saw this guy directly touch the tight glass cover, and opened the only one among the red snakes. imprisonment.

"Wait, don't you wear protection? These snakes can suck blood!" Xie Jin wanted to dissuade him, but Wen Liang's half of his arm had already been inserted into the group of snakes.

Strange to say, when the red snakes biting on Qu Wan's skin saw Wen Liang who had thrown himself into the net, some of them boldly opened their mouths to bite, but soon changed their way of twisting as if they were poisoned. It twitched like a madman, and was finally swallowed by its own kind.

The law of movement of the red snakes in the glass altar was broken. If you look carefully, the gentle blood began to spread in the altar. These red snakes suddenly bumped like headless flies, even if they were outside through a thick layer of glass. Very clear.

And Qu Wan's head was picked up by Wen Liang at this time, her gorgeous face was a little dull at this time, and she couldn't see any luck after being rescued.

"My God, there are so many bites." Xie Jin bravely used a pocket knife to pick apart a snake that was still biting Qu Wan's face. The snake fell to the ground and struggled vigorously. After a while, its body suddenly split open. , the color also changed from red to transparent.

"The blood on these snakes is obtained by sucking Qu Wan's blood, right?" Ji Duan kicked the dead snake away on the ground with his toes, the red color was disappearing, and there was something like a nerve twitching in the snake's transparent body .

Ji Duan had an ugly expression on his face, and he kicked the snake away, "These don't look like snakes, but rather like transparent leeches that suck human blood."

Turning around, he saw that Wen Liang was packing Qu Wan's head into the bag he was carrying. The two exchanged eyes. Wen Liang raised his eyebrows, pretending to be more natural. I haven't found it yet, and I can't take in the deposit now, so I have to rely on her to guard against that old thief Zhao Dong."

Ji Duan ignored Wen Liang, and looked at the glass jar in which Qu Wan's head had been soaked. The red snakes were still struggling fiercely, as if the blood on which they depended for survival had now become the deadliest poison. Thin snakes writhed densely in it, but in the end they could not escape the fate of being poisoned to death.

"What's the matter with them?" Ji Duan touched the glass wall with one hand, just at this moment, a red snake that was a bit bigger bumped into it, making a lot of noise.

"Probably because of my blood." Wen Liang reluctantly stuffed Qu Wan into the bag, and he stretched out the arm that had just been inserted into the glass jar. Only then did Ji Duan and Xie Jin discover that there were a few obvious teeth in the center of his forearm. print.

"You were bitten?" Ji Duan was closer. The bite wound on Wen Liang's arm was obviously different from Qu Wan's. There was no scarring wound. Some parts of Qu Wan's face were bitten terribly, but Wen Liang's arm Just like a needle prick, neither red nor swollen.

"It's nothing serious, they became what they are now because they bit me." Wen Liang shook his arms, as if the snake venom was useless to him, "These should be very poisonous snakes, I don't know what they are used for. , but since Qu Wan is here as nourishment, this matter must have something to do with the Zhao family."

The family that owns and controls the Five Immortals, the Li family has already declined, but the Zhao family dared to put Qu Wan here so arrogantly, obviously this was done on purpose.

"This is an intentional show for us. I don't know what their purpose is until I go to the banquet." Wen Liang took the lead to walk towards the door that looks like an exit in the room, "Let's go, we have to talk to the old man." Only when the thief sees you."

All the windows of the Zhao family's entire house are facing north, and together with the seemingly century-old locust tree in the courtyard, the huge tree wraps the house in shadow.

Walking through the promenade, there is no one here, but there is an illusion that there are people everywhere. They walk in the semi-open-air corridor, and the feeling of thorns on their backs is hard to describe, just like...

"Why do I feel that someone is always watching us?" Xie Jin looked back frequently, the grass behind him was blowing in the wind, there was still no one there, but the feeling of being watched was still there.

"Don't worry, maybe we are not human." Wen Liang waved his hand to Ji Duan without turning his head, "Old Ji, take care of your Uncle Xie, it's better not to fall behind at this time."

"Let's go, what he said is right." Ji Duan walked around behind Xie Jin and blocked Xie Jin's back, "Would it be better for me to walk behind?"

Xie Jin quickly refused, and he pushed the young man in front of him again, "No, I will be the queen this time as agreed, I just think that feeling is very strange, it's okay."

Walking forward for about five meters, the corridor came to an end, and behind the antique door was a study room stacked with books and materials.

"Do you have this feeling?" Wen Liang stopped in front of the door, turned to look at the two people behind him, "The Zhao family asked us to go to where Zhao Dong is, and this process is to let us discover something on purpose."

Turning his gaze to the book case made of a piece of high-quality wood, there was an open booklet with a thread seal. Wen Liang walked over to pick it up and flipped through it. It recorded some family battles about Badong Village.

"How should I put it, the price to be paid for this Hongmen Banquet does not seem to be too light, you see." Wen Liang turned to a page for Xie Jin and Ji Duan who came over to read, "Badong and Batong, Fengshui located in the center of the dragon vein Baodi, this is exactly what we guessed."

Emoticons are also marked on the yellowed pages. The eight huge coffins around the village do carry the connotation of carrying coffins in Nine Dragons. Turning to the next page, they are full of names of people with very dense branches.

"This is the genealogy of the five major clans in Badong Village, right?" Xie Jin had good eyes, and he found Zhao Dong's name in the Zhao family tree at a glance, "According to the order... No. 20, the seventh generation of patriarchs, Badong Village is at least Did it take root in this mountain before the founding of the nation?"

"It may be much earlier than the founding of the country." Wen Liang looked down on Zhao Dong's branch, and Zhao Guangsheng's name was underneath, "The patriarch is hereditary, and the five immortals rely on each family, so it seems that Zhao Guangsheng will He's the next Zhao Dong, so that's why he was able to undergo that kind of change when he invited the immortal to ascend his body."

"It's not just Zhao Guangsheng, the five people including Li Yougui should be in the same situation." Ji Duan saw the names of Gao Quan and Li Yougui in other genealogy, the same thing between these five people is that they are all the eldest sons.

He recalled what He Nian said that night in the camp, "Zhao Guangsheng is the guardian of Lady Liu, because he is the next successor of Liu Xian, so is He Nian called her guardian?"

"I'm afraid that's the case." Wen Liang stared at the old thread-sealed booklet, the densely packed names of people are just like his current thinking, "but as far as I know, the five immortals only had supernatural powers when they sacrificed to the great shaman at first. According to the current situation and combined with this logic, there must be at least one existence above the five major families in Badong Village."

He looked up at the two people standing on his right, "Recall carefully, who have we come into contact with since we entered the village?"

"People in the family?" Ji Duan replied, he didn't keep up with Wen Liang's escaping thinking, "And those villagers who were forced to set up stalls on the street?"

"No, there may be another one that we've always wanted to see but never showed up..." Xie Jin realized something, and took a deep breath, "It's brother Ma, no, if you talk about it separately from the five immortals, The existence above the Five Immortals should be called a shaman more appropriately."

"Wen Liang, look back, is there any record in this book?" Xie Jin urged, he watched Wen Liang pick up the page with one hand, but after turning this page, the three of them were a little stunned.

There is nothing after the genealogy, not a blank page, but a page that has been torn into irregular shapes, and the content on it can hardly be seen through the strands of paper, only a few words can barely be read together.

"Sacred boy, holy boy sacrifice?" Xie Jin was a little confused. Before he set off for Badong Village, he had spent a long time looking up a lot of information. Pigs, cattle and sheep are usually used in shaman sacrifices, but this is not very clear. What is the ordinary saint child sacrifice?

No matter how carefully he pieced it together, no other information could be found on the rotten pages, because of the unknown, the uneasiness planted a seed of uneasiness in his heart, and Xie Jin couldn't help thinking of some folklore stories he had heard in the early years.

In that era of famine and drought, in order to pray for rain, some villages would take boys, boys and girls as sacrifices to some so-called earth dragon kings, but no dragon king would dwell in the Dragon King Temple that was about to collapse in the countryside. ?It's just some long-haired snakes that make up their numbers and trick fresh children into eating them.

If Xie Jin had never believed in the authenticity of this kind of folk tales before, he would have been dragged out of his hypocritical cognition by the reality until he met the evil heretic Wang Zhong who took his child's life to make alchemy in the pool.

Never trust human nature too much, this is the truth that Xie Jin realized in the Wang Zhong incident. Whenever standing on the commanding heights of human nature, often when you are most defenseless, the pool under your feet is no longer that pool of water without waves. Instead, it turned into a quagmire that could drag him down to hell.

If the goodness of human nature is the light piercing the sky at the highest point of the cliff, then the evil is the abyss of nothingness formed by the transformation of the ground below.

Xie Jin felt the coolness attacking his whole body from the inside out, and the little bit of uneasiness at first was infinitely magnified instantly after his mind was opened, and gradually surrounded him.

"Wen Liang, you have experienced more than us." Xie Jin knew that he was calmer than ever, but the words from his throat still trembled, "Tell me, is there a possibility that this book The so-called saint child sacrifices above are actually living human sacrifices?"
