My golden finger is not right

six,

I couldn't stand its entreaties, and thought that since the mountain god had already agreed, it would probably be fine.It's just that I still have some doubts in my heart.

After all, I am not the real Yan Ye, and the power that Yan Ye Madano possesses may not be able to be displayed on me.

If it fails...

I have no time left to think about it.

The fire light on the little lantern's body was getting dimmer, and the original white lamp body gradually shrouded in decadent gray.

Is it about to fall into a deep sleep?

For some reason, a strong uneasiness suddenly rose in my heart.

Not daring to hesitate any longer, I raised my foot and stepped over the stone tablet.

"Boom!" The moment my footsteps landed, I felt like my head was hit hard by something, and my whole body became dizzy for a moment.

I couldn't breathe, and everything in front of me became abnormally distorted and terrifying.Gradually, I couldn't see anything anymore, only a dazzling red...

When I opened my eyes again, the world had already changed. The layers of dead branches and leaves seemed to be given new life, and new buds and young leaves bloomed again.

But before I figured out what happened, an old voice suddenly came from behind me: "My lord, up this road is the altar where we once enshrined that monster." An old man dressed strangely He leaned over and said, "That monster will take a beautiful girl from our village as a bride every year on this day. And this is the only way it must pass."

Listening to the old man's words, I barely figured out the current situation.

It seems that the old man's village is very scarce in resources. Since a long time ago, it has relied on worshiping monsters and then received their blessings to live.And the monster they worship is a monster who likes to live alone on the mountain, has a quiet personality and doesn't like making noise.

Every year, a grand sacrifice will be held in the village, and the dew collected from the leaves stored in the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter will be provided to this monster as a sacrifice.

But I don’t know from which year, this monster suddenly changed its temper. It no longer accepts dew as an offering. Instead, on the day of the sacrificial ceremony, it will kidnap a beautiful unmarried girl in the village as a sacrifice. .

At the beginning, people were unwilling, so the most prestigious elders in the village sent a distress letter to the descendant 1 of the person who first established the connection between the monster and the village.

Within a few days, several strangers came here.But less than a day after they went up the mountain, they were driven down by the monster.

At the end, those people left only one sentence, "It's difficult to explain the depression, make yourself obsessed.", and left in a hurry.

Later, the village also asked for help from the well-known magicians nearby, but in the end, they were either unable to fight against the monster and were driven down the mountain by it, or told them not to think about the kidnapped girls anymore, because it was too late up.

In this way, there was no hope of asking for help, and I was afraid of offending the monster and being slaughtered by it. Besides, so many magicians said that the kidnapped women would never come back, so the village gradually gave up seeking foreign help.

Considering that the monster is also quite powerful, it will bring extremely abundant rainfall to the entire village every year, so that every household has no worries about food and clothing, so for the condition of one girl every year, most people have to choose to acquiesce.

However, the vast majority does not represent all.

There are still some people who shed tears because of guilt and regret when facing a table full of food.

For example, the old man in front of him.

He has a daughter named Masako who was taken away during the sacrifice the year before last.

He tried everything he could, even donating his family's cultivated land to the elders in the village, just in exchange for a chance to send his daughter out of the village.It was only later that things came to light, and his daughter changed from next year's candidate to this year's.

After all, he is not the only father who is reluctant to part with his daughter and does not want his daughter to be a sacrifice.

And fairness, under the gaze of everyone, will not favor the weak.

"I know I've gone too far, but...but..." The old man caressed his heart in grief, with resentment and resentment welling up in his cloudy eyes, "That's my daughter! I've pampered and loved her all my life Daughter for life! I can't just watch her die for just one year's harvest! Her life hasn't started yet, and I still want to watch her get married! Watch her have...children! Watch her enjoy her old age So I will never allow anyone to take her away from me for any reason! I would rather die myself than let her leave so early!"

"I don't want too much food, as long as my Masako can come back, if she can come back, our family can eat bark for a lifetime!" After saying this, the old man knelt down without hesitation.And the muffled sound when the knee collided with the ground made people feel sore, "So my lord, I beg you, I really beg you! You must bring Masako back! Even...even if the one you bring back in the end is... ...It's...a box of ashes..." The old man was at a loss for words.

He clenched his fists tightly, trying to control the whimper in his throat.

"Masako has never met her mother since she was born, but she is very obedient and smart, so she doesn't ask anything. Every day when I return home with hoes and sundries, she brings her younger brothers, obediently Waiting for me at the door. Sometimes when I come back late, they can only go out to dig weeds to eat when they are too hungry. When they are a little older, Masako knows how to cook. Even if I come back at dawn, there will be no food on the table There are still cooked meals, and Masako will run out when she hears the sound, bring the bowl to the kitchen, and heat it up for me."

"My Masako..." The old man couldn't hide his pain anymore, and cried loudly.His mournful cry was like a dagger, piercing bitterly into the hearts of the listeners.

"I understand, this time I will do my best to bring your daughter back." A voice came in just right, successfully stopping the old man from choking, "But this place is dangerous, you are taking the risk to bring her back now." It's not easy for me to get here, I can walk the rest of the way by myself, you should leave first."

The old man hesitated for a moment, and knew that he was really useless in the future, and he was afraid that if he went with the other party, he might be hindered.So I had to give up.He wiped away his tears and stood up slowly.

But before leaving, he still knelt down again regardless of the opponent's stop, kowtowed vigorously a few times, and then staggered away.

The man didn't let out the sigh that had been accumulated for a long time until the figure of the old man was completely hidden in the woods.

"This is the balance that fathers and brothers mentioned."

"When the weights of the two ends of the balance are not equal, the balance will be broken. When one end goes up, the other end must fall."

That sad voice pulled me back from my thoughts.When I looked in the direction where the voice came from, I saw a beautiful figure with a delicate hair bun, a black kimono in women's style, and a waist that could not be grasped.

The woman turned her back to me, so I couldn't see her face clearly.But inexplicably, I felt a strange familiarity with her.When I see her, I feel very relieved.

Seeing that woman raised her hem, as if she was about to start, I quickly stretched out my hand and shouted at her, "Wait! Please... ehhhh!"

I suddenly froze in place.

Where are my hands? !etc!What about my head!Hey!And my legs!

Only then did I realize that my form at this time was quite different.

The limbs and torso of human beings are all wrapped in clusters of mist that seem to be blown away.

I'm like a big blob of cotton candy floating in mid-air right now!

My heart suddenly turned cold. Could it be that I have traveled through again and become a strange life form?

Before I could calm down completely, a white veil suddenly fell in front of me.

And the woman in the black kimono also walked over.

The woman combed her hair in a high bun and did not wear any makeup, but she still had a beautiful appearance with black eyebrows and pink lips.She looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old, and her shiny black eyes and fair skin were the best proof.

It's just that although she is as beautiful as morning dew, her temperament is a little cold.

She always purses her lips, frowns coldly, and looks serious.It vividly set off this young girl's appearance to look old-fashioned beyond her age.

I saw her walking towards me step by step, and subconsciously held my breath.Her eyes had been on the veil, but when she was about to bend down to pick it up, she frowned slightly, and her eyes flickered, and she fell on me.

Eh? !was it seen?

I "floated" a step back in embarrassment, thinking about how to explain my origin to her, but saw her suddenly take a few steps closer.

At this time, I was only one step away from her.

Her eyes met mine.

But I can't see any part of me in her beautiful pupils.

"Is it an illusion?" I heard her say.

Without any hesitation, she bent down and picked up the handkerchief, then folded the embroidered corner into it, and then stuffed it into the cuff.

and many more--!

I remembered!I have indeed seen this pattern, on an altar with a lot of dust in Yan Ye's house!The reason why I have the impression is that there is nothing on the altar, only a wooden sign with this pattern is enshrined.This altar was separated from the altar, and it was not placed in the main house, but was placed in a small corner of the courtyard.

I don't know much about that altar. I once asked Ms. Keiko, but she just smiled, then touched my head, and told me not to care about those irrelevant things.However, according to the tradition of the Yanye family, each descendant of the Yanye family will get a pattern that is exclusive to them. The base is a Chinese character "杀" that is very similar to a Chinese character, and then add various small patterns in turn according to the time of birth. .

But I don't know exactly what to add. I can only be sure that the woman with a cold face in front of me should have the surname "Yan Ye".I just don't know what relationship she has with that confession.

The girl got up and gathered her clothes, then walked up the mountain road.

Suddenly, a suction force came from the woman's direction, and I felt my whole body being compressed, and then, following the ball's trajectory, rolled a few times in the air and landed on her head.

The whole process was a bit strange. When I came back to my senses, I found that my "body" had changed from "a big lump of marshmallow" to "a small lump of marshmallow", which was only about the size of an adult's fist.

And the woman under me seemed to know nothing about it, and was still walking forward at a leisurely pace.

It seems that the reason why I came here should be that I have something to do with this woman.

I couldn't help thinking about it, but it didn't take long for me to feel tired.I tried my best to restrain my tiredness, but under the slight shaking of the woman's walking, I was soon defeated...
