Zhang Xi frowned and remained silent.

The old man stabilized his emotions, and then said: "About a hundred years ago, my tribe and I passed by here, just in time for a frenzied massacre.

Xi Village has always respected bamboo, because it is what they have always relied on for survival. Coupled with the unique conditions here, the life of the villagers can be called affluent.But that year, the bamboos in the bamboo forest all died of illness overnight for some reason. Some people with bad intentions came forward and said that it was because they had offended the gods. , Watering the bamboo forest with their blood, what's even more incredible is that the bamboo forest recovered the next day. "

Zhang Xi had some speculations in his heart, and it was probably because someone made a hindrance.

"You haven't seen the joy and ecstasy on the faces of those people at that time, and you don't know how hideous the smiles of those people standing in the pool of blood are. I was not as old as you at that time, and that scene was engraved in my mind for many years. When I close my eyes, I see the red in front of my eyes..."

"What happened later?" Zhang Xi interrupted his irrelevant memory.

"Later? Then those people thought they were the saviors, and thought they saved the whole village. Xi Village started an annual sacrifice. At the beginning, they just sent some old, weak, sick and disabled people who were of no use to them to die. She has become a girl who lives with her body.

There are rotting corpses everywhere under the bamboo forest. Maybe you take a random step, and what you step on is a mass of rotten flesh and a skeleton.

But those people didn't know it, and thought they were really blessed by the gods, and they hid in this small village complacently, thinking that they would be able to sit back and relax from now on. "

"This is a matter of Xicun. What does it have to do with the clan? You sent me here at the beginning, but now you send me back for no reason, harming my parents and my brothers and sisters. This is the so-called fellowship? What do you have with the people of Xicun? different?"

The old man didn't explain why this topic was different, and continued: "Because Xicun hides treasures and doesn't know it. They guard such a precious thing, but destroy it again and again, they are extremely stupid.

In the bamboo forest, there is a pair of twin bamboos with the same root and the same lineage. Originally, they had the purest spirit and could keep a peaceful place. However, under the corruption and irrigation of flesh and blood, they have changed beyond recognition. They have become two vermilion demon bamboos. Cursed.I let you guard here, just because I don't want to startle the snakes and let them know that I'm being targeted.Now that I know where they are, what do I need you for? "

As soon as the old man finished speaking, he raised his hand and waved a palm, Zhang Xi barely avoided it.Zhang Xi knew that she was no match for her hundreds of years of Taoism.

Originally, this matter had nothing to do with her. Even if it was not because she was sent here, but she passed by by chance, she would not care about it. It's just a pity that the girl she has been guarding with red robes all the time, I am afraid that after this, she will be killed. Life is at stake.

"Why?" The old man sneered, "What is there to miss here? But it's human nature, after all, it's been nearly a hundred years."

Zhang Xi glanced out of the cave, in the vast darkness, she couldn't see anything clearly, she couldn't see the mountain, she couldn't see Xi Village, and she couldn't see the people she cared about.

"It's nothing, I'll leave at dawn."

The old man nodded, ignored Zhang Xi, and left first.

Zhang Xi sat in the cave and waited until dawn.

It was the first time she stepped into Xi Village in the daytime, and the villagers all put on their guard when they saw this Moshang who came from nowhere.Zhang Xi herself doesn't know why she did this for no reason, to tell them that Xicun is not a solid cage, and they may encounter prying eyes and dangers from the outside world at any time?Obviously, these villagers are ignorant, no one has the ability to think so much, and no one will think about the future, after all, the present is always too tempting.

Hongmei was waiting for her at a loss in a closed alley in the village. If something important hadn't happened to her, she wouldn't have been called out during the day. Recently, there have always been many unexpected situations happening, and it was difficult to deal with them for a while. .

Zhang Xi didn't tell Hongmei that she was leaving, nor did she remind her that something might happen here in the future, but she just told her to take good care of Lin Jin as much as possible and not let Mengshi bully her too much. She still had to buy plum cakes every morning until one day she When you may not need to eat anymore...

Hongxie was at a loss, and didn't quite understand the deep meaning of Zhang Xi's words. She didn't realize it until Zhang Xi's figure disappeared at the end of the alley, and hurried back to Meng's house now that no one noticed her.

Lin Jin went back to Xi Village with Zhang Xi last night, and her heart was always difficult to calm down, but she remembered that An Qiao was just a little-known Taoist priest, and she was not Zhang Xi's opponent in terms of force value, so she was not very worried. Thinking about when he could find a way to sneak out to find her again.

When Hongmei came back, she saw Lin Jin with the door open, smiling all by herself with a nymphomaniac look on her face, she didn't know what she was thinking, she somehow found it funny, couldn't help but twitched the corners of her mouth, and then realized that she had startled herself For a while, I didn't go to see Lin Jin again.

I will definitely do what the adult told me to do, but Hongxie always feels that this is a bit strange, but because she is afraid of Zhang Xi's majesty, she doesn't dare to think about it.

In the morning, Mrs. Meng didn't arrange work for Lin Jin, so she sneaked out through the back door by herself, not only Zhang Xi, but also Xiao Qiu. Lin Jin remembered that she hadn't seen Xiao Qiu since the last time they broke up.She wrapped a few untouched plum cakes from the table, and ran to the Town God's Temple while everyone was not paying attention.

Before she ran to the temple, she smelled something strange in the air. There was a faint fishy smell in it, and there was a bit of rancid smell, very similar to the smell of corpses accumulated over the years.Lin Jin's heart trembled, and he hurried into the temple, but he didn't see Xiao Qiu.
