I Forged the Myth of the Old Ones

A soft whisper rang from his ear, Drizzt turned around quickly, but the revolver in his hand was empty.

There was no one behind him.

Cold sweat seeped out from Drizzt's forehead, and before he knew it, the surrounding space became claustrophobic and dark, and even the moonlight seemed to be swallowed up.

Those vague and ambiguous tree shadows, like people with distorted postures, are ready to go in the corner.

"help me"

Along with this light whisper, Drizzt felt a chill on the back of his neck, and some wet, cold breath with a metallic stench hit his neck, causing Drizzt to get goosebumps all over his body.

He turned around and was about to shoot, but he pulled the trigger with his fingers, but he couldn't.

The trigger seemed to be frozen, not moving at all.

Drizzt looked down and saw that one hand was gripping his right hand holding the gun, his fingers behind the trigger, preventing it from moving.

"Wake up."

Lu Bian's voice came from his ear, and Drizzt was startled.

Only then did he realize that his gun was facing him, and Lu Bian reached out to block the trigger, which prevented Drizzt from killing himself.

"What did you see?"

Lu Bian gently removed the pistol from Drizzt's hand, put it on the table, and asked patiently.

"I saw that woman in red, that woman was in the room just now"

Drizzt's voice was weak.

"No, you just sat here and didn't do anything until you picked up the pistol to shoot yourself in the head."

Lu Bian also held half of the compressed dry food in his hand.

"You must be starving, eat some dry food to suppress the shock."

Lu Bian handed Drizzt the half-eaten dry food.

Drizzt took the dry food in a daze, as if he was still immersed in what he saw just now, until he ate a couple of bites and realized that the situation was not right, and then hurriedly looked at Lu Bian.

"This is what you've eaten!"

"It's fine, I don't mind."

Lu Dian patted his chest.

"This house has a big problem. I suspect that the woman is the Black Queen Mother. She will subtly affect the consciousness of the people around her and make them crazy."

Drizzt said with some fear.

"The people of the Hai family and the Black Queen Mother have been together for so long, maybe they are no longer normal people."

Drizzt suspected that when he and Lu Bian witnessed the wedding, just seeing the bridegroom and bride would be enough to cause him to lose control of his senses.

"These people have either turned into the walking corpse monsters in the fog last night, or turned into monsters with fish heads. I'm afraid that servant is also in disguise. He controls the master and wife of the Hai family to receive us."

For the people of the Hai family, it's enough to have a good wedding. As for Lu Bian and Drizzt, they are probably just unstable elements that need to be handled properly, that's all.

"We stay here tonight. Even if the people of the Hai family don't plan to harm us, the will of the Black Queen Mother will affect us."

Drizzt felt the situation was very dangerous.

"She said it was okay."

But Lu Bian suddenly opened his mouth.

"What did you say?"

Drizzt only felt weird, because Lu Bian didn't look at himself, but at the empty chair next to him.

"She said she would not harm us."

Lu Bian repeated it.

"who are you talking to"

The hairs on Drizzt's back stood up, and he didn't dare to move rashly, just turned his body slightly.

"bride."

Lu Bian pointed to the empty chair.

At this moment, on the chair, in Lu Bian's field of vision, there was a woman in a red wedding dress.

The woman's face was pale, her red lips were red, her eyes were full of blood, there was no white eye, and two lines of blood and tears flowed down her cheeks.

She just sat there like it had been there hundreds of years ago.

===075. Praise the sun ===

Drizzt saw nothing on the empty chair.

But he could detect a little breath, as if there was a person sitting there.

Swallowing his saliva, Drizzt looked at Lu Bian.

Lu Bian sat down, sitting next to the empty chair, staring at the void.

"Are you the Black Queen Mother?"

Lu Bian asked.

The woman in the red wedding dress, with a pale face and red eyes, only gave Lu Bian a faint glance.

hum-

Countless knowledge flowed into Lu Kian's brain.

"I don't want to marry Haiwang, I don't want to die."

"Only by presenting a bride to the King of the Sea can we calm the storm and save the whole town."

"You are very lucky, Li, you were chosen to be the bride this year"

"The dance they danced is very strange. It gives people a trance-like power. Even the wind and waves seem to be attracted by this dance and settle down."

"Ake, the people of the Hai family have taken a fancy to you, and you will be their bride. This is our family's honor."

"Every woman who married into the Hai family has disappeared, and they have never seen their family members again. Do you think they have actually been sacrificed to Haiwang as a sacrifice?"

"No, it's so uncomfortable, so uncomfortable, who can help me?"

"If you don't want to be like that, just follow my instructions and I'll help you"

"Kill me, kill me, please, kill me"

The frantic and messy sentences finally mixed in the brain, impacted the brain, and burned in every gully of the cerebral cortex.

Lu Bian felt the heat in his nose, and crimson blood seeped from his nostrils. Soon, his vision became blurred, his ears tingled and buzzing, and his throat seemed to be stuck with thick phlegm, making it difficult to breathe.

From his eyes, nose, mouth, and ears, fresh blood flowed, staining his clothes and the ground.

"Hey, are you alright?"

Drizzt stood up and patted Lu Bian on the shoulder.

"no problem."

Lu Bian waved his hand, and his arm also burst into blue veins, and the blue-black blood vessels were clearly visible under the skin.

It was slightly inferior to the information he had just received.

There seemed to be green grass growing in his nostrils, Lu Bian rubbed his eyes, except for the blood on the back of his hand, it was grass clippings.

The pain burned the stumbled brain.

To distract his attention, he said.

"The Lord of the Sea, that is, the original sea monster was the Black Queen Mother. He was one of the incarnations of a certain god. He was later sealed and suppressed into the black tower in the Hai Family Mansion."

"But the Black Queen Mother's own power has not been completely sealed. With the passage of time, her power overflows, seeks the help of others to lift the seal, and also subtly affects the people of the Hai family."

"He has bewitched every bride who married into the Hai family, hoping that these outsiders can help him get out of trouble, but the existence of the Black Queen Mother itself is a kind of pollution, even if it is a cry for help, it is enough for those who hear it. get crazy."

"The people of the Hai family are on the verge of collapse, and they have been polluted the most by the Black Queen Mother. In other words, they may have all become servants of the Black Queen Mother, just because they have fallen into madness when they became servants, but instead There is no way to release it."

As he spoke, the wound on Lu Bian's body was covered with green vegetation.

"Are you really all right?"

Drizzt had never seen such a situation before. If it wasn't for Lu Bian, a guy who seemed abnormal before, he might have lost his mind when he saw this scene.

"No problem, just soak up the sun."

When Lu Bian said these words, the woman in the red wedding dress had disappeared.

"The woman in the red dress is a symbol of pollution. To be able to see her means that we have been subtly polluted."

Hearing this, Drizzt's heart sank.

If you and Lu Bian were polluted when they entered the town yesterday, how badly would the residents living in Kanshui Town be polluted by the Hai family in such a short distance for such a long time?

Can these people still be called human?

"Fortunately, as long as we finish the wedding tomorrow, we can get out of the way, and we don't have to forcefully participate in the dispute between the Black Queen Mother and the Hai family."

Drizzt said worriedly.

"It's just that the people in this small town, I am afraid that they have instructed my predecessors to say that the foreign land is not a false place, and the people of the foreign land are not lifeless fakes. If you can save one, you can save one. It seems now that no matter what, tomorrow is the end of it all."

He glanced at Lu Bian.

The man with grass on his body fell asleep at some point, and the flower bones on his head were slowly blooming.

The gongs and drums are loud and the lanterns are colorful.

When Drizzt woke up, he smelled a strong smell of gunpowder.

He heard the sound of firecrackers and festive music.

He sat up and found himself sleeping on the bed with the blanket still over him.

When he walked out of the house, he saw Lu Bian standing in the courtyard, facing the sun, with his hands open, as if he was about to embrace the sun.
