The years of reselling the haunted house

Liang Yue and I looked at each other, and Liang Yue asked again: "Mother-in-law, when did this archmage come? Do you know the exact time?"

The fifth mother-in-law shook her head: "I've only heard about it, but I don't know the exact time. But it's probably about a month away."

Liang Yue and I exchanged glances again. If the Archmage really arrived a month ago and came from outside, then we could meet Ma Di and the others when they disappeared.Although there is no guarantee that the two must be related, but for us now, anything may happen.

At this time, footsteps came from outside the door again, and Yunmei walked in.

Because we mentioned to Zhong Xiaofeng that Yunmei had taken a fancy to him before, this made the already shy Xiaofeng behave even more unnaturally. Seeing Yunmei coming in, he even lowered his head.

I looked at it funny, but Yunmei was very generous. After she came in, she said a few words to the fifth mother-in-law.

The fifth mother-in-law talked back and forth with Yunmei several times, but we still couldn't understand what they were saying.I think Qian Qingfeng once made a judgment, saying that the runes on the token might be the characters of a certain dynasty.Since there are characters, there must be corresponding languages.

Now we only hear this strange language, and I feel that the words on the token are very likely to be related to this tribe.

In other words, Qian Qingfeng's judgment was not wrong.It's just that he overthinks the scope. He suspects that there is a dynasty that has disappeared here, but what we have come into contact with is only a tribe that has been separated from the dynasty and has nothing to do with the original dynasty.

After the fifth mother-in-law and Yunmei had a conversation, the fifth mother-in-law immediately said to us: "Yunmei said that this place is not very safe anymore, we have to change to another place immediately..."

I was taken aback: "It's not safe? Mother-in-law, didn't you just say that no one dares to come here to find someone?"

The fifth mother-in-law nodded: "That's right, but the situation has changed now. Gayun suddenly appeared in the village, and the news that the leader suddenly fell ill and asked you for treatment has already spread. Murlie made a fuss about this matter , The leader was charged with destroying the big sacrifice at the big leader. Now the whole tribe takes the mountain and river sacrifice as the most important thing. The leader has been called by the big leader for questioning. Before leaving, the leader said let us leave the tribe immediately, the big leader It is very likely that someone will be sent to the stockade to search. If the big boss catches you, you may not be able to leave. It is very likely that you will all become sacrifices for the great sacrifice."

I shook my head, and said angrily: "It's a shameful thing to use living people to sacrifice in this mountain and river sacrifice. This great mage is not a good bird."

"Then... is Xiaofeng going with us too?" Liang Yue asked.

Because Zhong Xiaofeng was originally imprisoned in this stockade, so it can be said that he was a prisoner of the leader Kurtu.It turned out that Gayun hid himself privately and refused to sacrifice, which was Kurtu's dereliction of duty.After all, Gayun had been used as a sacrifice in the Shanhe Festival, but now he is missing.If Zhong Xiaofeng escapes from here again, Kurtu's crime will be even greater.

Yunmei understood Liang Yue's question and hurriedly said a few words.

The fifth mother-in-law translated and said: "Gayun said. The leader of Kurtu is grateful for Xiaofeng's life-saving grace and has decided to let Xiaofeng go with you. But just now Gayun went out to inquire about the news, and now several entrances and exits of the tribe have been blocked. Sealed. You can’t leave the tribe for the time being. You can only hide in the cave where Gayun is hiding. As for whether they can search there, it depends on luck.”

Yunmei nodded, pointed at the door and said, "Go...go, go quickly..."

Chapter 1471 The Horn of Relief

Yunmei actually came up with a few words that we could understand.Although her pronunciation sounds a bit weird, at least we can understand her words.It seems that in normal times, she seldom talks with the fifth mother-in-law in our language, so her language ability has not improved.During this period of time, she was basically in our language environment, so she was able to say a few words to express her wishes.

Yunmei's expression was very anxious, and we hurriedly followed Yunmei to leave.

The fifth mother-in-law also followed us, wanting to leave the stockade, but when we walked out of the house and listened outside, we heard the sound of people outside the stockade, the footsteps were very noisy, and it seemed that many people were going outside. Come here.

At this time, a man ran over from the door, and his facial makeup seemed to be a follower of the original leader.The attendant should be Kurtu's confidant, and he said a few words to Yunmei directly after coming over.

The fifth mother-in-law was interpreting with us, to the effect that the outside has been completely closed now, and we can't get out of this village.And the people sent by the big leader are about to enter the village to search.Let's find a way quickly, or we will die.

Yunmei had no choice but to take us to continue running into the stockade, and finally found a house inside the stockade to hide in.But obviously, this is only a temporary solution.The big boss's people will start from the door and conduct a blanket investigation, and it won't take too much time to check here.And the outside has been surrounded, and now we are like turtles in a urn, and we can't escape at all.

We can see from the window that those people are gradually moving towards our side, and each person in the stockade is checked in detail, and the people after the check are gathered together.

With such a search method, it is even more difficult for us to escape.

Seeing this, Zhong Xiaofeng said: "Brother Yang, captain, don't worry about me, you are very skilled, take Ga Yun to see the opportunity and kill out. The fifth mother-in-law is originally from here, and she is not in the wanted range, she should be fine. "

I waved my hand: "Don't say these words. It doesn't matter what happens before you are found. Now that you have been found, how can we leave you behind and escape by ourselves. If you want to be a sacrifice, Brother Yang, I will accompany you .”

Liang Yue also nodded: "There's me too. I'm the captain, so I can't leave the team members behind and escape by myself."

Hearing that Zhong Xiaofeng was willing to stay and let him run out, Ga Yun cast admiring glances at Zhong Xiaofeng.

As we speak, the chieftain's people are getting closer and closer.I found that the chief's subordinates all wear yellow hair bands on their heads, which is obviously different from other villages.

According to the number of people, there are dozens of people, all of them are holding machetes, and their bodies are vigorous.I thought to myself that there are so many people, even if we really want to rush out, there is no hope of breaking through.

Seeing those people getting closer and closer to us, my heart also rose to my throat.For the time being, we haven't decided yet. If we are found out, whether we will fight hard or wait to be caught.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, a series of horns sounded suddenly from outside the stockade.The voice was deep and deep, and I don't know where it came from.Moreover, there is a rhythm in the sound of the horn, high and low, cadenced.

As soon as the horn sounded, the searchers were moved by the sound, quickly turned around and gathered, and rushed towards the gate of the stockade.

This change also surprised us.I looked at Yunmei puzzled and asked, "What's that sound?"

Yunmei stared at the gate and explained casually.

The fifth mother-in-law said: "In the tribe, horns are used to convey news. The sound of the horn just heard was to summon all the warriors in the main village. Something must have happened to the main village."

The main village mentioned by the fifth mother-in-law must be the village where the chieftain is.We don't know what happened to the main village, but the sound of the horn actually saved us.

Those warriors who searched heard the sound of the horn and acted extremely quickly, so they all gave up and continued the search.

Yunmei hurriedly led us away from the village.The guards outside had all withdrawn, and almost all the warriors rushed to the main village. Obviously, something serious happened in the main village.We also took this opportunity to escape from the stockade and ran back to the hidden cave.

After entering the entrance of the cave, I let go of my hanging heart.This should be the safest place so far.

We went into the cave with Yunmei, and the fifth mother-in-law said that she could go out to inquire about the news, and when she found out, she would come back and inform us.

After the fifth mother-in-law left, she never came back.

The few of us were trapped in the cave, and we were also very anxious.Especially Yunmei, her father was also in the main village, and was questioned by the chief, so she didn't know what was going on at this time.

Seeing Yunmei anxious, we also feel a little sorry.After all, the leader, Kurtu, was also questioned by the leader because he protected us.

When we hid in this cave again, a whole day had passed since we came out, and it was getting late.

At that time, after my third uncle Qian Qingfeng and I entered the mountain pass, we felt that it was very cold inside, and the temperature seemed to be much lower than outside.

And after entering this cave, this feeling is even stronger.At that time, I was stripped naked, and when I woke up, I was so frightened that I didn't feel the cold here.When I came back this time, even though I was wearing clothes, I still felt the chill. No wonder Liang Yue wanted to light a fire in this cave before.

There is also a lot of firewood prepared here. We lit the fire again on the original fire, and the fire burned again.

The four of us sat around the fire, each thinking about our own thoughts.At this time, my stomach groaned again.

When we were in the house just now, the leader served us meat, but after we only took a bite, we chatted with the fifth mother-in-law.For a while, I only ate some compressed biscuits. After such a long time, I was already hungry.

At this moment, I suddenly smelled a smell of meat, which stimulated my stomach again, and the gurgling sound became more serious.

I searched around and found that Zhong Xiaofeng had taken out a large piece of meat as if by magic, and was cutting it with a knife.

"Xiaofeng, you..." I was overwhelmed with surprise and rushed over.

Zhong Xiaofeng smiled: "Brother Yang. When I was leaving the room, I took this piece of meat on the tray. It just happened to fill everyone's stomachs."

Zhong Xiaofeng divided the meat into five pieces, gave each of us a piece, and left the remaining piece for the fifth mother-in-law.

We all praised the careful Zhong Xiaofeng for saving our stomachs.

Chapter 1472 Crimson Tide, Hu Tianjian

Liang Yue said worriedly: "Everyone, eat quickly, and fill our own stomachs first. I don't think it will be peaceful tonight. It seems that something big is going to happen in this tribe."

We each grabbed a piece of meat and ate it in our mouths. We can only wait for the fifth mother-in-law to come back and deliver the news.

Yunmei was probably worried about her father's safety, so she didn't eat the meat, and squatted beside the fire with her shoulders in thought.

Zhong Xiaofeng handed over a piece of meat, and said in a low voice, "Eat something first. It's useless to be anxious at this time, or your body won't be able to take it, and you won't have energy."

"Bo, Yitu..." Seeing Zhong Xiaofeng handing her meat, Yunmei hurriedly stood up, nodded to Zhong Xiaofeng and said something.

Zhong Xiaofeng smiled: "You mean to say thank you. Does Boa Yitu mean thank you?"

"Shoes...shoes...thank you..." Yunmei learned to say.

"Yes, thank you... This meat is yours in the first place, so you don't need to thank me. By the way, tell me what else you can say..." Zhong Xiaofeng leaned over and chatted with Yunmei.

I know that Zhong Xiaofeng did this to divert Yunmei's attention on purpose, and didn't want her to worry too much.But the two young people chatted together despite the language barrier.Liang Yue and I watched from the sidelines, feeling very relieved.

Under the firelight, the two young people got together and talked in a low voice. At this moment, this scene was so warm and romantic.

When Liang Yue and I saw this scene, we couldn't bear to interrupt it.

After another ten minutes, it was estimated that the sky outside was completely dark, and finally footsteps came from outside.

The few of us immediately became alert, and Liang Yue and I both took out our weapons, while Yunmei took out a machete from her body in a snap, and that machete was exactly the same as those carried by those warriors.It seems that this machete is a regular weapon in this tribe.

I've seen that kind of scimitar very well. It can not only cut and chop, but it's extremely sharp. Even if a master uses it, it seems that the scimitar can be thrown out like a flying knife, and then retracted again.

Each of us held a weapon and stared nervously in the direction of the hole.

The sound of footsteps approached quickly, and it was the fifth mother-in-law who appeared from the entrance of the cave. We were relieved to see that there was no one behind her.

The fifth granny saw us, waved her hands and said, "Don't worry, it's safe."

"Mother-in-law, how is the situation outside?" I asked quickly.

"It's almost chaos outside now. The horn sounded just now because someone broke into the main village. It is said that the man carried a magical weapon and wounded a dozen warriors in a row. Even the leader was almost injured. .That's why the horn sounded to summon the warriors."

"Walakri Kurtu?"

Yunmei was very nervous and asked the fifth mother-in-law directly.

The fifth mother-in-law said: "Don't worry, sister Yun, the leader is fine now. He has returned from the main village and asked me to tell you something."

Yunmei was relieved when she heard that, and we all surrounded the fifth mother-in-law and asked her to introduce the situation outside in detail.

The fifth mother-in-law went on to say: "I have some news for you, the Shanhe Festival has been brought forward again..."

"Advanced again? Why does the time change at any time? Isn't this too random?" I asked in surprise.

The fifth mother-in-law explained: "The time is all determined by the archmage. And the archmage also has to refer to the changes in the water in the chasing dragon pool. It is said that the scarlet tide is earlier than expected, so the grand ceremony is also brought forward."

"Crimson spiritual wave? What is it?" I asked.

"It's the phenomenon I told you about the water turning red in the Falling Dragon Pond. I didn't know what it was called before, but this time I figured it out. The water turning red is called the Scarlet Spirit Tide in the tribe. , It does happen once every 60 years. It is said that when the crimson spiritual wave appears, if the sacrifices of the Mountain and River Festival are placed, the mountain will open a crack in the mountain, and Hu Tianshen will appear from the mountain. There are still a few more details about this. To describe it in one sentence, it is called the sky overwhelmed with water, beards. The red tide, Hu Tian sees. This Hu Tian refers to Hu Tianshen. It seems that the purpose of this mountain and river sacrifice is to see the true face of Hu Tianshen. What will happen when I see it? I don't know anymore."

"The sky is overwhelmed, Xu Jiazi. The red tide, Hu Tianjian. Mother-in-law, where did you hear these words?" I asked.

The fifth mother-in-law said: "These characters are actually written on a few stone tablets at the mountain pass of the tribe, but they all use their characters. I can speak their words, but they rarely use this character, and I don't know much about it." I don't know."

I remembered that when Uncle San and Qian Qingfeng and I entered the mountain pass, we did see strange characters on the stones there.Now it seems that those characters are written in these twelve characters.

I nodded: "The sky is overwhelmed with water. It should be said that it is a waterfall. A Jiazi is 60 years. The scarlet tide must refer to the scarlet spiritual tide. It seems that there will be a scarlet spiritual tide in 60 years. In 60 years, Hu Tianshen It has already been recorded that this event will happen. Third Uncle also said that the waterfall also has tide changes, but he did not expect the change of the scarlet spiritual tide to happen only once in 60 years."

"That's right. The leader came back and told me one thing. He said that now it seems that he is not just an outsider who came with the archmage in the main village." Fifth Granny said.

"Anyone else? Who are they?" Liang Yue and I were taken aback when we heard this, and hurriedly asked.

The fifth mother-in-law shook her head: "The leader said that they have always been mysterious, and he only speculated from a few clues."

I looked at Liang Yue and asked, "Could it be Ma Di and the others?"

Liang Yue nodded: "I think so too. If it's really them, then we've found the right place to find this place."

I was a little overjoyed, and said: "We have been out for so long, and finally we have some news about them. But if they are really here, are they also here for this mountain and river festival?"

Liang Yue shook his head and said, "The composition of that team is too strange. We don't know about others, don't we know about Ma Su? Old Ma is indifferent to fame and fortune. Since he can follow them here, there are two possibilities. One is that there are things he is extremely interested in here, and the other is..."

"Coerced?" I asked.

Liang Yue nodded.

I continued to analyze: "Then I still think he is more likely to be coerced. When you found me and third uncle, Hai Long showed us a video. Two people went to Ma Di's office at that time. Those two people were my third uncle and me. But in fact, we didn’t go to Ma Di’s place during that time. So those two people pretended to be me and my third uncle on purpose. I suspect that someone pretended to be us. I went to persuade Ma Di. Ma Di must have been deceived at the beginning, but later even if he found out the truth, he couldn’t return, so he was coerced at this time.”

Chapter 1473

Liang Yue said: "This is for sure. Someone organized these people together to use their professional knowledge. These people should be the strongest in each field they can master. If they come here The Kele tribe should be related to the Mountain and River Festival. The scarlet tide has been seen for 60 years, and some people have predicted that there will be a scarlet tide in the past few days, the mountain body will open, and Hu Tianshen will appear. But I think these phenomena are caused by What is shown is definitely not as simple as these things on the surface, and there must be a bigger secret behind it."

We analyzed the ins and outs, and also handed the meat Zhong Xiaofeng divided to the fifth mother-in-law.

I said to Liang Yue again: "So I was still thinking, if this so-called mountain and river festival has nothing to do with us, we should just find a chance to escape from here. Now it seems that we can't leave for the time being. "

Liang Yue smiled wryly: "Of course I can't go, there are still several people missing. In addition, we should try our best to participate in this mountain and river festival. I can tell you frankly that the purpose of our visit this time is not only to find Ma Di and the others, but also to Find out the purpose of that group of people coming here, if necessary..."

When Liang Yue said this, she stopped talking suddenly.I think it may be that she is afraid that there are outsiders here, so she can't tell me all the inside information.

When I was here last time, I asked Liang Yue about their ultimate purpose of coming here, and why she pretended not to know us well on the way.Liang Yue was about to say something, and just in time for Yunmei to come back, she didn't say anything.

It seems that if I want to know these things, I need to find another opportunity and time to ask Liang Yue.

Thinking of this, I asked the fifth mother-in-law: "Grandma, if we want to participate in this mountain and river festival, what should we do? Is there a way?"

The Fifth Granny was eating the piece of meat. When I asked her about it, she was taken aback, and then said, "This is not easy. They strictly screened the people who participated in the big sacrifice, except for the people in the main village and the people invited by the big leader." , and then there are the leaders of the five villages and their cronies. When participating in the grand sacrifice, they all need to clean their faces first. Oil paint can no longer cover the face, so strangers will definitely not be able to pass the test."

I nodded: "Then let the leader bring the two of us in."

Zhong Xiaofeng hurriedly said: "Me, and me, I will go with you too."

I glanced at Zhong Xiaofeng and nodded: "Okay, and you. Let Yunmei's father take the three of us in."

The fifth mother-in-law shook her head: "It's impossible. Let's not talk about how difficult it is, even the leader will not agree. Letting you leave as soon as possible is already the biggest concession. To condone Gayun's hiding is to bear the burden." The suspicion of hiding sacrificial offerings has made the leader's position in the tribe unstable. This time he was questioned by the big leader, and he has already received the favor of the big leader to come back safely. If he takes you to participate in the big sacrifice again, once he goes out After the incident, not only will the leader lose his position, but he may even die."

"Fifth Granny, I've always wanted to ask you, you just mentioned the status of the leader. Is he at odds with that Murlie? Aren't they the leaders of the two villages? Why does it sound like that Murlie Targeting him everywhere?" I questioned.
