India

The rumored woman took a strange man, followed by a man and a woman, and rushed together to a place that everyone regarded as a forbidden area. This scene attracted the attention of many people on the road.

There were many villagers who came to ask Mrs. Zhang, but they were all fooled by her in a few words, and some people were unwilling to let go of their curiosity, and those who had nothing to do followed them all the way.

Looking back, Mo Nan saw the villagers who followed him, and saw Ji Guiran who was looking at him with a gloomy face. He pretended not to see him, ignoring the crowd behind him and him, talking to Mrs. Zhang as he walked.

"Sister-in-law Zhang, is this the direction to that temple?" He looked at the mysterious temple not far away, feeling a little panicked in his heart.

"Yes, Po Fei has been living next to that temple."

"Who the hell is she?"

"Well... To put it simply, it is the person who manages the annual village ceremony, but in fact, Fei Po has other trivial things to do."

"Then she must have a very strong mentality." Mo Nan said truthfully, after all, he felt guilty when he recalled the appearance of the snake god.

Mrs. Zhang felt a little funny when she heard his lingering fear words, she smiled and replied: "It's not that scary, according to the memories of those who performed the sacrificial dance in previous years, Mrs. Scarlet Snake is quite a handsome man."

"Huh? True or false?" Mo Nan was surprised, "Wait, isn't it a snake?"

"I don't know much about the specifics. That statement only exists in the memories of people in the past, and only those who danced remember the face of Lord Scarlet Snake, but after it spread, everyone believed it."

"Well, I'm a little curious... Is the person who does this thing every year a man or a woman?" Mo Nan regretted it just after asking. He suddenly remembered what happened to Mrs. Zhang's husband last year, and scolded himself for being stupid.

But Mrs. Zhang didn't care, she replied: "Both men and women, as for who it is, I have to decide who it is. She has always been mysterious. After so many years, I still can't fully understand her actions."

"Huh? Mrs. Zhang, you seem to be very close to that Fei Po?"

"Is it close or not?" she said with a smile as if recalling something from a long time ago, "When Li Yan and I first arrived here many years ago, we were taken in by Fei Po, and later I got married. , leave Li Yan and Xiao Yan still with her."

"Oh, that's what it is."

"Although I don't understand many of Fei Po's thoughts, but don't worry, she is not a bad person, and talking to her will not be difficult."

"Yeah." Mo Nan nodded, feeling quite curious.

He ignored the eyes watching him from behind, and while chatting with Mrs. Zhang, he followed her to the Snake God Temple, and soon came to the temple again.

It was noon at this time, and the bright sunlight shone through the shade of the trees and shone on the vermilion outer wall, which made the color more vivid and strange, a little irritating to the eyes.

"Follow me to the back." Mrs. Zhang pulled him and walked to the back of the temple.

"behind?"

Mo Nan followed the footsteps suspiciously. When he came to this place before, his attention was completely focused on the mysterious temple. Now he went to the back of it to look, and he found that there was a house behind the temple.

The construction of the house is the same as other farmhouses in the village, but there are some differences. For example, the outside of the wall of the house is also painted with a layer of vermilion paint, but it looks old compared to the new temple. Much older, and the paint is chipped off in some places.

Don't people who live in such a house feel eerie... Looking at the weird color, Mo Nan couldn't help cursing, and then wondered, since he was in contact with the snake god, would he wear the same clothes as it? strangeness.

The fact was just as he had imagined, when he saw a touch of red coming out of the house, he suddenly panicked.

In his mind, an old woman with snowy temples and frosty hair first appeared. She was wearing a bright red dress and her face was covered with thick rouge. When she saw him coming, she walked towards him with an orchid finger... Just thinking about it can break out in a cold sweat.

Fortunately, Mo Nan's eyes did not see such a dazzling scene. After seeing the person in front of him clearly, he blinked blankly.

That person was indeed wearing bright red clothes, and indeed had exquisite makeup on his face, but his appearance did not look like an elderly woman, she was clearly a woman in her prime, she was wearing black long hair that had not been combed Although she has a strong and mature temperament, she seems to be no older than thirty.

Why does this kind of person call her... Feipo?Mo Nan stared at the stunning woman in front of him, full of doubts.

Before he could think of anything, Fei Po spoke in front of him.

"Isn't this Mrs. Zhang?" The corners of her upturned eyes were somewhat tired, and she asked with a half-smile, "What wind brought you here?"

"Fei Po, why are you sleeping until now? You don't know how to maintain your image." After a few words of pleasantries, Mrs. Zhang went straight to the point, "That's right, I want to ask you if you can... change the sacrificial dancer."

Fei Po raised her brows when she heard this, and said without changing her face: "What's wrong? Are you scared now? I remember I told you that nothing will happen."

She looked at some villagers not far away, and added: "And I told you, you can't associate your husband's disappearance with Scarlet Snake." There was a faint threat in her words.

"No... no, I didn't," Mrs. Zhang became a little nervous.

"Then what are you doing?"

Mo Nan blurted out first: "That! I asked her for it."

Hearing Mo Nan's voice, Fei Po turned her eyes to look at him. She brushed the strands of hair scattered in front of her eyes to see Mo Nan's appearance clearly.

"Oh?" She seemed to have seen something novel, "This young man looks very strange, he must not be from here, right?

"Well, it's not..." For some reason, Mo Nan felt a little unnatural being stared at by her.

Fei Po continued to stare intently, and then asked with interest: "Where did you come from?"

"...from my hometown."

"Where is your hometown?"

"It's...where it should be." Mo Nan pretended to be happy and smiled at her, feeling a little inexplicable crisis.

After hearing this, Fei Po let out a sound, then whispered something interesting, then slowly walked towards him.

Mo Nan resisted the desire to step back again and again, forcing himself to raise his eyes to meet the woman's gaze. His eyes fell into those deep eyes, and he vaguely felt a few mysterious dark reds flowing in the depths of her pupils. People are timid.

"Why are you afraid of me? I won't eat you again." Fei Po saw the fear in his eyes and smiled.

"Then...then I'm not afraid." Mo Nan stood up straight.

"Okay, so tell me where you come from?"

"...Yeguo."

"Yeguo?" She raised her eyebrows again, "That's a good place, and several people in our village come from there."

"I know."

"You know all about this..." Fei Po hooked her lips and smiled, "It's really incredible, then go on and talk about why you want to sacrifice the position of the dancer."

"Because..." Mo Nan was about to blurt out the truth, but unexpectedly, she swallowed it with sharp eyes, and replied, "Because I like it!"

"...?"

"Well...to tell you the truth," Mo Nan saw a look of doubt on her face, and blinked, "Since I was young, I have cultivated the skills of speaking and dancing at home, and I have grown up to my current age. I have come out to roam the rivers and lakes, looking for ways to sublimate myself, but I heard that the priests dance in Cang County’s annual ceremony, and I am going to ask for advice?... What do you think?"

What he said was so beautiful that the eyes that stayed on him turned into blank eyes.

"Oh..." Fei Po nodded, with a posture of accepting this statement calmly, "But there are not many days until the grand ceremony, young master, are you serious?"

"Seriously..."

"Okay, let Fei Po let me see if she has the qualifications."

After she finished speaking, she reached out and pinched Mo Nan's chin abruptly. The latter was caught off guard by her, and her long nails made her chin ache a little.Mo Nan looked nervously at Fei Po in front of him, guarding against her next move.

"This looks..." She leaned closer, "It's really bright and moving..."

"..." Wait, this doesn't seem to be a word to praise a man.

"These eyes are also enough to seduce people." Fei Po murmured, getting closer and closer, Mo Nan felt that her weird eyes were about to stick to him, and subconsciously wanted to back away, but was caught by her. His hands were restrained and he could not move.

When the tip of her nose was about to touch him, suddenly a force pushed her hand away. Fei Po sensitively sensed the sudden force, and withdrew her hand first, and raised her eyes to look at the person who attacked her. .

She looked at Ji Guiran in front of her lightly, their eyes met, and they collided with each other's momentum, neither of them were willing to back down.

After a long while, Fei Po first withdrew her gaze, and gradually let go of the hostility on her body, and then yawned lazily, her slender nails glowed a deep red under the light.

She stretched herself, waved her hands and planned to go back to the house, and said to a group of people: "Okay, that's it."

"..."

"...??"

Everyone looked at each other.

Mo Nan asked her incredulously, "Are you agreeing?"

"I agree," Fei Po thought of something, stopped, looked back at him and said with a smile, "Although I don't believe a single word of the reason you said, I think you can give it a try. Sir Fei Snake should like you very much."

"Oh..." Mo Nan nodded dully.

At this time, some surrounding villagers expressed their incomprehension, so someone stood up and asked questions.

"How are you, Fei Po?? They came from outside."

"Yes, what if the snake god is dissatisfied and gets angry again?" A worried voice said, "We are the ones who suffer..."

"Don't make such an absurd decision just because of a momentary impulse... Please think carefully..."

Their voices reached Fei Po's ears, causing her to gradually become impatient, and she interrupted their earnest advice sharply: "Shut up."

The simple word made the chattering crowd immediately quiet down.

"I said yes, so I can." She said coldly.

What returned to her was the silence of the crowd, no one dared to speak again.

"I'm going back to the house, Mrs. Zhang, you can teach him." After finishing her last sentence, Fei Po entered the house without hesitation, and her figure disappeared from everyone's sight.

"it is good……"

The wind blew from the spacious hall, mixed with some coldness, just like the words of the woman in red, Mo Nan shivered unconsciously.

He realized a little belatedly whether he had done something terrible.
