I Forged the Myth of the Old Ones

"Praise the sun."

Lu Bian sighed with emotion, then turned around, turned over and continued to bask in the sun.

"What is this doing"

Drizzt yawned.

"In photosynthesis."

Lu Bian replied solemnly.

"Photosynthesis what? Forget it, has the wedding already started?"

Drizzt asked.

"Almost, we're cruising around town."

Lu Bian said casually.

Drizzt got dressed and walked cautiously through the empty yard to the front yard.

He came to the gate of the Hai family and saw the welcoming team.

This was the first time Drizzt had seen so many living people in this world.

No, not right.

Drizzt saw that the one carrying the sedan chair was a dark-skinned local, and the one escorting the team was a maid in red with a pale face and red lips.

These maids were just like yesterday's Hai family master and Hai family lady, full of the smell of dead people.

On the street, the crowd that looked lively and lively was even more bizarre.

These people are waving towards the welcoming team. Their movements are rigid and repetitive, as if they are machines, without any anger at all. Their movements are not consistent, and they have a strange feeling of being scattered.

It was as if the puppets on the stage would only act according to their original settings.

"This town is doomed. From the moment of encountering the Black Queen Mother, this town is doomed."

A sudden voice came from behind Drizzt. He glanced at it, and it was Lu Tian, ​​who no longer had those flowers and plants on his body.

He was also holding a compressed biscuit in his hand, nibbling on the water.

Noticing Drizzt's gaze, Lu Bian hesitated for a moment, then broke apart a half of the compressed biscuit and handed it to Drizzt.

"That's all I have, and it's time to hit the road after eating."

Ask for a monthly pass, recommend a ticket!

===076. Qilang Dance===

Logically, the newlyweds should be full of joy, auspiciousness and joy.

However, the wedding in the Hai Family Mansion seemed rather strange.

The faces of those who play joy are unnaturally white, with only cheeks, smeared with comical blush, and the same red lips, matched with the excessively red paper clothes on their bodies, the lively melody almost becomes sad grief.

The onlookers were numb, only mechanically repeating the motion of waving their hands, and even the smiles on their faces were as hypocritical as they were painted on.

The wedding scene, which is obviously noisy, noisy, and warm, reveals a kind of cold, quiet, and chilling atmosphere.

Lu Bian saw that in the lobby, the master of the Hai family and the lady of the Hai family were sitting on chairs, waiting for the newcomer.

And beside them, stood a man in black and wearing a mask.

That must be the bridegroom of the Hai family.

Even if no one explained it, Lu Bian knew about it.

Because the mask is too conspicuous.

It was a fish mask with a mediocre, ubiquitous appearance of a fish head. The whole body was blue and black. With the black clothes on the man, it looked like a walking fish.

The sedan chair came to the front yard, and the men who were carrying the sedan chair slowly put it down, backed away woodenly, and made way for the sedan chair.

"It's a bit strange. In a normal wedding, the bride should be sent directly to the place of worship, but it's still far from the lobby."

Drizzt caught a glimpse of the black tower.

Yes, the location where the bride's sedan chair landed was in front of the lake tower of the mansion.

A road is connecting the tower from the shore.

The curtain of the sedan chair was lifted, and a woman wearing a red wedding dress with a red hijab came out slowly.

Her movements were rigid, and every step was full of trembling, as if she was struggling to resist "something" that was controlling her body.

This causes the bride's movements to stumble, extremely slowly.

But no one cared.

The music is still playing, passers-by are still swaggering, the bridegroom of the Hai family is waiting in place, staring at the tower.

Drizzt had a certain idea in his heart. He knew that the bride still had a certain rationality, and the so-called process of combining the bride and groom was probably the process of erasing the last remaining rationality.

It must have been some sort of nightmarish vision that would kill reason just by looking at it.

He and Lu Jian stood at the entrance of the lobby, watching the bride follow the black chain-entangled tower.

It was not until the bride stood in front of the tower that she finally stopped and stood in an unnatural posture, like a marionette.

All the music came to an abrupt end, and then, some kind of melody from ancient times sounded.

Surrounding the bride are people wearing the same masks as the groom, wearing black robes and fish-head masks, dancing beside the bride.

It was a dance that Lu Keng had never seen before.

In folklore, singing and dancing are closely related to sacrifices. Many dances are based on imitation, imitating animals and natural landscapes that humans have seen.

But what kind of prototype can give birth to such a dance?

The bodies of those people were twisted into shapes that completely contradicted their physiological structure, and just by looking at them, it was as if they could hear the sound of bones breaking.

One of them turned his body more than 360 degrees, folded his hands together, and stretched upwards, as if praying to a god who didn't know where;

One of them leaned back, his back was directly attached to his buttocks, and his hands and feet overlapped, forming a strange symbol.

One of them held up his hands in opposite directions and met behind his back, bending his body with all his might, like a huge meat ball.

The bones and internal organs seemed to be temporarily pulled out of these people's bodies, allowing them to shape like mud at will.

The accompanying music has no sense of melody, like the noise of scratching a smooth blackboard with fingernails, like the wailing of some kind of monster from hundreds of millions of years ago.

It is unimaginable that the existence that created this dance has witnessed what kind of scene to have such inspiration and weave a dance that is terrifying, awe-inspiring, and frightening.

"This prayer wave dance doesn't seem to be a serious thing."

Lu Bian sighed with emotion, even if there is no pollution from the Black Queen Mother, the people of the Hai family are probably already destined to alienate.

No matter how they struggle, no matter how they resist, the fate of their entire family has been decided thousands of years ago.

Maybe it came from an accidental worship, maybe it came from a dangerous exploration, maybe it came from some old books, the ancestors of the Hai family mastered the extraordinary power brought by this dance, they walked the earth and came to Dry Water Town , lived here for decades, perhaps, this is the starting point for their ancestors to gain strength.

Just as the dancers were torturing the minds of the viewers, an even more bizarre situation emerged.

That sturdy, pitch-black, icy tower began to wriggle.

Those bricks, stone pillars, pavilions, as if they were given life, became soft, and the tower was like a behemoth that had just woken up, returning to life.

Lu Bian finally knew why the tower was locked with chains.

Because it is itself a living thing.

Like a cocoon formed by a huge worm, the tower bound by the chains kept vibrating, causing the chains to tinkle and reverberate in his ears.

And the bride, without moving, stood in front of the tower that was gradually recovering. She raised her hand and assumed a sacrificial posture.

Drizzt could tell at a glance that this was exactly the movement of the gray-white gargoyle statue he had seen in the fog the night before.

Could it be this tower that the fish-headed people worshiped?

The revolver in Drizzt's hand was ready to fire.

Because the current situation made him feel that even if he and Lu Bian could successfully witness the union of the groom and the bride, it would be difficult for him to live through the complete end of the wedding.

quack quack-

The top of the tower slowly cracked.

From the tip of the four-lobed tower, countless black tentacles can be seen slowly spreading out.

Like stamens, countless thick tentacles vibrated continuously and stretched towards the bride.

In the center of the stamens, there is dirty silt.

In an instant, the entire Hai Family mansion was filled with a stench of metallic taste, but no one expressed dissatisfaction, everyone's eyes were full of enthusiasm, and they raised their hands high to welcome this scene.

Lu Bian recognized that the sludge was the liquid in the terrifying murloc's lungs.

"This represents"

He has guessed the last secret of the Hai family and the Black Queen Mother.

Lu Bian glanced at his side, and Drizzt even narrowed his eyes, trying to delay the loss of sanity brought about by the sight of this ugly and blasphemous creature devouring the bride.

The silt poured on New Year's body, smeared the pure bright red wedding dress with dirt, and the red hijab had long been swept away by the silt.

The bride's face was exposed, her face was bloodless, her eyes were pitch black, and countless silts that seemed to have life instantly penetrated into her mouth, nose, ears, and every inch of her body.

The entire pond turned into a sea of ​​pitch-black silt, and those silts that reeked of metal were like flowers of evil, blooming in the pale midday sun.

At this moment, the groom of the Hai family also took off his mask.

Lu Bian saw that it was a fish.

The groom has no human head, only the head of a fish, his eyes emitting a strange light, his body covered with scales, and the webs between his fingers, just like the corpse in the cave.

He didn't speak, just jumped.

Jump into the mud.
