Soling Internet Cafe
Chapter 41 The Muse 10-12
Muse 10
Unlike Chu Lingya, Bai Jing woke up on a shaking bus.
The setting sun came in from the car window, bringing with it a warm temperature, which made him unable to remember who he was and where he was now. Fortunately, soon there was a place on his body that seemed to be frozen, Bai Jing I shivered and came back to my senses.
Yes, he is Bai Jing. He was still in that magical Internet cafe just now. In order to find Chang Yuxin, who resembles his dead dog Roy, he jumped into Bai Jingjing's game world on his own initiative.
Bai Jing reached into his pocket and touched the thing that had frozen him a while ago, but now the thing is not frozen anymore. ——It was the three talismans that Chu Lingya gave him.Bai Jing reached out and touched his neck subconsciously, and then remembered that the amulet he had worn since childhood was left outside this time, and could no longer protect him.
All right, we have to be vigilant.
Bai Jing looked around and found that it was a very old tin gasoline bus.
This kind of old-fashioned bus is no longer seen in Changle City now. At this time, there are only a few people sitting in the bus. Besides Bai Jing, there are two women, three men, and one The bus driver and a conductor sitting at the window yawning boredly.
Bai Jing recalled the settings of Bai Jingjing's game, and quickly judged that his destination was approaching.
Yumen Village, also known as Prison Gate Village, is the stage where the story of this game takes place.
Sure enough, not long after Bai Jing thought about it, the bus made a screeching brake sound and slowly stopped.
The conductor pressed the door open button, and the bus door bounced open with a bang: "Yumen Village is here, those who want to get off the bus take your luggage, hurry up."
In the voice of the conductor who was exhausted and gloating, Bai Jing followed the rest of the people and got out of the car one after another.Before getting out of the car, he purposely went around to the front to take a look at the driver, and saw a pale, impersonal face.
Bai Jing looked away thoughtfully.
In the sunset, the group of them stopped on a "platform" without a platform, and a stop sign pole inserted into the soil on the side of the road was the whole platform.
After putting down the people, the bus continued to drive forward along the dirt road. A large cloud of smoke and dust was raised up at a speed as if fleeing, and several passengers who got off the bus coughed non-stop.
Bai Jing took a quick and careful look at the people around him. There were two women, one looked like a college student in her early twenties, the other looked in her forties, she was plainly dressed, and she was holding a black plastic bag There were three men left, two of whom looked familiar and young, and the other was a thin and dark old man who didn't know what he was there for, and was empty-handed.
After these people got out of the car, those who took out their mobile phones took out their mobile phones, and those who looked at the map looked at the map. They were all very busy.
The first one to leave was the middle-aged woman. She seemed to be generally wary of other people and was not in a group with anyone. She was the only one who got out of the car and looked around the crowd, then hugged the plastic bag in her hand tightly. The bag hurried away.
"This is Mrs. Du." Bai Jing judged the identity of this woman. After all, he wrote the outline, so it can be deduced to some extent.From this point of view, the skinny old man is Qiu Lu, a character who doesn't seem to be a good person but will be proved to be a good person in the second half of the story. Of course, he died a miserable death in the end.
Most of the two young people are insignificant passers-by. These characters who are not the main supporting roles are all designed by the game planner, and Bai Jing has no impression of them.As for that female college student...
"Sister Bai, can I go with you?"
Bai Jing was stunned for a moment, not only because the female college student was suddenly thrown in front of him, but also because of that "Sister Bai".
Bai Jing looked at himself belatedly, and suddenly realized that his breasts seemed a little...big.
Bai Jing closed her eyes and thought, well, the protagonists of the game are Bai Jingjing and her assistant after all. From this point of view, with the word "Sister Bai", these two characters will come to life together.
"Xiao Luo?"
Luo Xing nodded obediently.In response to the suggestion of the planning department, the assistant played by the player in the game has two gender choices. The female is named Luo Xing (of course, you can choose your own name), and it is set to be a distant cousin of the supporting role Luo Xun, who is both righteous and evil. , also said that it was his illegitimate daughter, although the author himself did not know about this rumor, anyway, the character is a lively and well-behaved girl; the other male character is named Hu Yue, a new character limited to the game, the character design is a Bingshan Tsundere little handsome guy.Both Luo Xing and Hu Yue have their own unique skills. This is an inevitable setting. After all, players play games to have fun. If you don't give them a chance to have fun, they will definitely not let you have cool sales.
Bai Jing said to Luo Xing: "Let's go, let's enter the village together."
The first two young men also discussed it, and greeted them: "Are you two beauties going to Yumen Village to play? We are from City A. We just graduated from university this year and are going on a graduation trip. Would you like to join us?" Play with a partner?"
Bai Jing glanced at them and didn't say anything, Luo Xing smiled and shook his head first: "We're not here to play, we're here to attend a friend's wedding."
wedding?
Bai Jing finally recalled the game story of Bai Jingjing.
Yumen Village, as the story progresses, will be revealed as the story progresses, and the world will know that its real name is "Prison Gate Village", but for the time being, let's call it by this name.Legend has it that the villagers in this village are descendants of a mysterious ancient country that has been lost in the dust of history, with a history of thousands of years.They have lived at the foot of this mountain for generations, guarding the last holy place of the ancient country in the mountain.There are two huge jade gates that symbolize this ancient country. It is said that these two gates will appear in the world only at special times and through special ceremonies. This is the legend of Yumen Village held every five years. "Pass the door offering".
The so-called "passing the door" in traditional customs refers to the first time a woman in marriage and love comes to the man's house, and it also means getting married. The name "passing the door sacrifice" obviously means that this is a sacrifice with a connotation of marriage.Since it is a sacrifice, there must be one party in the marriage who is not a human being. In Bai Jingjing's game, this opponent is set to be the patron saint of the mysterious ancient country left in the world-Jade Emperor.
The villagers of Yumen Village still believe that Lord Yuming is guarding the descendants of the ancient Yumen Kingdom. As a believer, every five years, the village will select an outstanding girl of the right age and send them to the altar of the gods in the mountains through the "Mortal Festival". place.Legend has it that after the ceremony, Lord Yuming will show up and bring the girl, his divine wife, into the Yumen. Seven days later, the Yumen will be opened again, and the girl will return to the village to "Guining", and then return to the mountains and never set foot again. world.
This ceremony has been held for thousands of years, and countless godwives have been sent to the mountains. It is said that most of the godwives have brought glory to the family and brought blessings to Yumen Village, but some girls have lost their lives because of various reasons. The reason is that Yu Mingjun disliked them. Some of them were driven back after living on the mountain for less than a week. After returning, they not only lost their memories of the mountain, but even became crazy, unable to speak clearly.For this part of the girls, the villagers thought that she was stamped "unlucky and unkind" by Yu Mingjun, and no one would pay attention to them, even the family members were unwilling to accept them, so these girls probably ended up very miserable.
In the setting of this game, Bai Jingjing took the time to accompany Luo Xing to attend the wedding of a friend of hers because she owed Luo Xun a favor. Obviously, this friend was the god wife in this year's "Passing the Gate Festival" in Yumen Village .Of course, if you look at it from a third-party point of view, you have to ask Bai Jingjing to go with you to attend a wedding. Obviously, this so-called "passing ceremony" has problems from the beginning, but don't use too much God's perspective in the game.In short, after Bai Jingjing left, through a series of clues, she discovered the truth that the village had been covering up for thousands of years.
It turns out that the "door-to-door sacrifice" is not a sacrifice to select a god's wife, but a proof of the backwardness and barbarism of this village.For thousands of years, people here have guarded a piece of land, neither wanting to go out to work, nor want to develop their hometown. They insist that they are descendants of gods, and they are unwilling to communicate with the outside world and intermarry. Gradually, they become poorer and poorer. more and more closed.However, they always insisted that as long as enough god wives are sacrificed, the Jade Gate can be opened, and as long as the Jade Gate is opened, the countless wealth left by the ancient country can be found, and they will live a life of masters from then on.
However, where in the world does the pie that falls from the sky come from.In order to maintain the normal life of the village, the managers in the village, that is, the presbytery in the setting, have regarded the young women in their village as "lambs" that can be sold at will since many years ago.They secretly established bases in the mountains, engaged in various despicable activities such as selling silver and acting on behalf of clouds. Those young and naive girls grew up under the theocracy culture, and they were brainwashed unconsciously. When they entered the mountains, it was too late to escape. , Throughout their lives, they were imprisoned in the mountains, and after being drained of their surplus value, they were thrown into the sacrificial pit to worship the gods.Occasionally, a few girls with strong personalities and relatively clear minds chose to resist, and the final outcome was either suppressed, or even if they escaped, they became mentally abnormal because of the persecution, and their families still regarded them as Unclean people refuse to accept them, so they can only die miserably outside in the end.
The player takes on the role of a junior high school classmate of the "prospective god wife" Qiu Qingyu. The two have not seen each other for a long time. Because of a wedding invitation, he/she and Bai Jingjing came to Yumen Village, and what awaited them was a series of bloody murder cases.After investigation, Bai Jingjing and the player found that the murderer was the girl who had discovered the bad habits in the village a long time ago and slaughtered the whole village in order to avenge her sister who died tragically.In the end, everything will be reduced to ashes in the sea of flames. The gorgeous flames are like the wedding dress on Qiu Qingyu. This brave girl destroyed this deformed demon lair with her courage and anger alone, and also wore Wearing this blood-colored wedding dress, she walked into the deep mountain in the sea of flames and ended her short life.
Although Bai Jing's outline is a story with complete clues, the company believes that Bai Jingjing's game is just testing the waters. Both the gameplay and player acceptance need to be further observed, so it is not in favor of incorporating too complete and controversial plots from the beginning , so as not to affect the official launch of the follow-up Bai Jingjing series of comics, coupled with the time limit, in the end, only the murder case in the village on the eve of the marriage of a classmate was taken in the production, and Bai Jingjing and her assistant solved the case, which is relatively easy and simple. Bai Jing doesn't know if there will be a day when he will see the sun again.
As the sun set, the surroundings quickly became dark. Looking at the big mountain in front of him, Bai Jing couldn't help thinking, how much of everything in this world is actually exposed on the water, and more things are probably like this twilight. I don't know how many mountains in the world have sunk in the huge shadow, no one knows it.

"This is your home?"
"That's right." On the other end, Wu Zhongyou had already graciously let Chu Lingya into his home. Of course, he was trembling towards Tianxi, and people may not be able to tell who is easy to mess with and who is not. The strength comparison of ghosts is almost clear at a glance.That feeling is called survival.
Wu Zhongyou stuck to the side, watched Tianxi bouncing and following Chu Lingya into the door, and silently gave Chu Lingya a thumbs up in his heart.How powerful Chu Lingya must be if he could subdue such a ghost!
Chu Lingya looked around Wu Zhongyou's house, quite surprised.Because this place is exactly what Wu Zhongyou said, it is a very ordinary apartment for single young people.The house is not big, and things are packed in a mess, but it is full of worldly smoke and smoke everywhere, and it doesn't look like a place where ghosts live at all.
Chu Lingya bent down to open the refrigerator, and found that there was indeed a pile of fat house happy water, frozen instant food, snacks and so on.
Tianxi came over and looked at Chu Lingya curiously, then pulled his hand: "I want to drink that."
Chu Lingya persuaded her: "Coke is not good for children's health, and it's someone else's stuff."
Tianxi: "I want to drink that!"
Wu Zhongyou hurried up to smooth things over: "Drink, drink, it's okay, anyway, it will reappear after you take it off, and you won't feel it in your stomach after drinking it, just have a mouthful." He said, taking out two cans of Coke, Carefully present it to Tianxi.
Tian Xi hugged the Coke and laughed, ran to the sofa and jumped.
Chu Lingya sighed helplessly: "You shouldn't spoil children."
Wu Zhongyou: "She...she must not be young."
Indeed, judging by Tianxi's clothes, she is not a ghost of this era.
Chu Lingya shook her head: "Her time has stopped, so she is still a child."
Wu Zhongyou didn't quite understand what Chu Lingya meant, but he still nodded.
Chu Lingya said: "What happened to you that day, you disappeared suddenly, and we couldn't find you even if we tried to find you later."
Wu Zhongyou rubbed his head: "I don't know either. What room did I want to go with you to rest?" He silently crossed out the word "prison" that came to mind, "Suddenly I feel like my mind is confused After a while, when I came back to my senses, I was back in the room. I almost thought I had a dream, if I didn't see you today, I really couldn't explain it!"
"Did anything special happen after that?"
"Nothing special..." Wu Zhongyou said, "Chu Lingya, do you think I will never get out for the rest of my life?" He looked at Chu Lingya pitifully.
"Do you want to go out by yourself?" Chu Lingya asked him.
"Of course I want to. Although I don't have to worry about eating and drinking here, it's really boring to be alone, and I don't know when there will be any accidents."
Chu Lingya said: "Let me take a look at your room first."
"Okay, okay, look around." Wu Zhongyou said, jumping up to show Chu Lingya the way, "This is my bedroom."
Chu Lingya saw the computer desk facing the door and the computer on it at a glance. At this moment, the computer was not turned on, and the computer screen was black.
"Don't you turn on your phone every day and look outside?"
"Oh yes, after coming back out of nowhere that day, I don't know why it can't be opened."
Chu Lingya went up and pressed the power button, the main computer made a slight running sound, and soon the display screen turned on.
"Huh?" Wu Zhongyou was stunned, "I clearly..."
"Play that game and have a look." Tianxi got in at some point, climbed onto the computer chair and double-clicked the black cat icon, a circle of ripples rippled on the computer, followed by Chu Lingya and the others. A mountain under the twilight appeared, and several people were walking towards a village at the foot of the mountain.
"Uh...Bai Jing?" Chu Lingya looked closer at the screen, and soon realized that what she saw was a running game, and the protagonist of the game seemed to be Bai Jing, even though she was a woman.
"The game started?!" Wu Zhongyou was also stunned, "What's going on, I could only see the outside scene before."
Chu Lingya said: "What is the content of this game, please tell me carefully."
……
Bai Jing followed the crowd to Yumen Village after it was completely dark.
The mountain in the dark night looks like a huge beast lying on its back, its true face cannot be seen clearly, and Yumen Village, which is still flickering with lights, looks like the monster's eyes looking at the world.
There is a river at the gate of Yumen Village. Walking across the stone bridge, you can see a stone archway with the words "Yumen Village" written on it. The two couplets on the left and right are all auspicious words. From this point of view, it is not ordinary. Villages are no different.
However, at this time, the word "囍" was plastered everywhere in the village, which was obviously a gesture of organizing a wedding.
"There is really a wedding!" Two young people who came to play, one named Gu Mingxuan and the other named Chen Kang, excitedly took out their mobile phones and "clicked" to take random pictures.On the way here just now, the two of them have already explained their background clearly. They were originally visiting a nearby city, and they accidentally heard that there is a Yumen Village here. It is a traditional custom, so I came here by car for a run.As for the fact that Yumen Village began to receive tourists, although it was not in line with Bai Jing's original intention, it was not too discordant. He guessed that it was an adjustment made for the convenience of players.
After a few people entered the village, they saw a huge banyan tree at a glance, with countless aerial roots extending from the tree, densely packed.The banyan tree is covered with red wishing talismans and glass wind chimes. When the night breeze blows, these strips of cloth flutter along with the crisp bells of "jingling", the atmosphere is absolutely in place.
"Sister Bai, my friend's house is at the west end of the village, let's go there." Luo Xing took out an envelope, opened it and said.It was a red wedding invitation card, and the groom's name was written in the column: Qiu Yuming, but no photo was posted.
The local aboriginals in Yumen Village are all surnamed Qiu, and occasionally have some foreign surnames, and they are all married by distant cousins who have been going around. This is something that only happened in the past few decades.
Gu Mingxuan and the others reluctantly said goodbye to the two beauties, and went to find a homestay by themselves, while Bai Jing and Luo Xing rushed to the home of the protagonist, the murderer Qiu Qingyu. The first murder occurred, and the deceased was the Mrs. Du whom they had met at the entrance of the village before.
Yumen Village is not big, and it only takes more than ten minutes to walk from the beginning to the end of the village. Bai Jing followed Luo Xing, looking at the houses and buildings along the way.
The style of the houses is basically modern, most of them are self-made two or three-story buildings with courtyards and mosaic glass bricks on the exterior walls. Every household is equipped with solar water heaters and satellite antennas. Occasionally, some people can see cars in their homes. It is a trace left by modern society, but other than that, there is always something strange about this village.After seeing a few houses, Bai Jing realized that it was because there were strange spells with black letters on a red background pasted on the doors of every house.
Bai Jing thought for a while, and realized that it was the talisman blessed by Yu Mingjun, the representative of game art design.All the people in Yumen Village will post such charms on their doorsteps, which not only means to be protected by Yuming Lord, but also means to show that they are followers of Yuming Lord.In addition, there will be uninterrupted sight of some kind of string-like decorations made of colorful jade hanging on the door of several families, which means that this family has a god wife.A string means that there has been one, some people have several in their homes, and the rows of jade strings hanging on the doorway are like some kind of impressive evidence, and most of these people live better than others, and the houses are more Tall, even the doorway is built more grandly.There are three strings of jade hanging on the door of Qiu Qingyu's house, which means that there have been three god wives here, and after she gets married, a fourth string of jade will be hung here.
Luo Xing stopped at the door of Qiu Qingyu's house: "This is it." She said, and rang the doorbell.
A sharp electric bell tore through the night, making people startled suddenly.
"Meow!" Bai Jing turned his head to look, just in time to find a black cat with green eyes lying on the wall of Qiu Qingyu's house, the cat gave Bai Jing a cold look, it seemed to have something in its mouth, Bai Jing Before Jing could see clearly, it lightly jumped to the ground and ran away quickly.
"Scared me." Luo Xing patted his chest, and after a while, footsteps came from the yard.
"Who is it?" It was a middle-aged woman's voice.
Luo Xing hurriedly said: "Hi, we are Qingyu's friends, she invited us to the wedding."
Unexpectedly, the inside heard the words but fell silent.
"Aunt?"
After a while, the voice sounded again: "Oh, okay, wait a minute, Xin, there are guests!" The footsteps actually turned back again, muttering something, and it took a long time before a series of voices sounded again. There were footsteps, and someone quickly ran to open the door.
"Are you friends of Sister Qingyu?"
Seeing the head protruding from the door, Bai Jing almost wanted to grab the person and leave, but luckily he still had reason.
Undoubtedly, the person who came to open the door had a heart, but the captain of the criminal police was wearing a loose undershirt and shorts at the moment, pulling his shoes off, looking like a young country boy.
"Yes, my name is Luo Xing, and I'm Qingyu's junior high school classmate. This is..."
"You don't know me?" Bai Jing asked.
"Huh?" Chang Yuxin who was called Ah Xin was stunned for a moment, then looked at Bai Jing suspiciously, "You are..."
"Bai Jing."
Luo Xing glanced at Bai Jing, as if he was a little strange why his name changed from Bai Jingjing to Bai Jing, but maybe he thought it was some kind of pseudonym, so he didn't correct it.
"Bai Jing?" Chang Yuxin recalled the name in his mouth, as if he had heard it somewhere but couldn't remember it.
Bai Jing was a little disappointed, but this also confirmed his thoughts.Even taking Chang Yuxin away forcibly now may be useless, because he lost his memory and was completely possessed by the characters in the game.But... Bai Jing doesn't remember that he set up a younger brother for Qiu Qingyu, is this also added by the game planner?
"Sorry, I can't remember, where did we meet?" Although he lost his memory, Chang Yuxin was still Chang Yuxin after all, and his speaking style was so direct.
Bai Jing shook his head: "Forget it, maybe I remembered it wrong."
"what?"
Luo Xing has already stepped into the door: "Where is Qingyu, why is she not seen?"
"My sister is in the ancestral hall preparing for the 'door-to-door sacrifice', and she won't be back until later." Chang Yuxin said, "Since she invited you here, you can stay at our house, we have available guest rooms."
"Are there two rooms? We live separately." Bai Jing said.
"Yes, yes." Chang Yuxin was obviously a little surprised by the guest's "out of sight", but he accepted it.
Bai Jing seized the time to look at Qiu Qingyu's house. The house was pasted with red Double Happiness characters everywhere. It really looked like a daughter who was about to get married. His eyes fell on the northeast corner of the whole house, where there was a building that was different from modern concrete buildings. The small wooden house looks quite old.
"That's our family's shrine, where the gods' wives used to be, and my sister's will go in too." Chang Yuxin explained, and when he said the last sentence, his voice was a little low.
"What is a divine wife?" Luo Xing couldn't help asking, as if he still didn't understand what was going on.
"The god's wife, the sacrificial victim." Bai Jing said, "This is what your classmate is going to marry."
Chang Yuxin's body shook slightly, as if he had reacted to Bai Jing's words, but he didn't show it in the end, but his warm attitude just now cooled down: "Master Yu Mingjun is the god who protects our village, you are Outsiders, it's better not to talk nonsense, otherwise..."
"Otherwise what will happen?" Bai Jing asked.
Chang Yuxin was silent for a while: "Anyway, just don't talk nonsense." He pushed open the two doors, "This is for the two of you to live here, if you need anything, just call me, I live in the innermost room."
After finishing speaking, he dropped the two guests and left on his own.
------------------------
Muse 12
In the dim living room of Qiu's house, only Bai Jing and Luo Xing were left.
Luo Xing yawned and said, "Sister Bai, then I'll go to rest first." After saying that, he went into a room by himself.
This is probably the difference between the game and the real world. If it was in the real world, I am afraid that no one would be as careless as Luo Xing, who would not understand the surrounding situation, and go to sleep after his friends.
Bai Jing didn't bring any luggage, but when he went into the room and opened the closet, there were actually some replacement clothes, each set was very delicate, obviously the artist had put a lot of thought into Bai Jingjing's clothes.Bai Jing took off the skirt on her body, picked out a pair of trousers that were easy to move around, and went out.
Qiu Qingyu's house was quiet, and it didn't look like there were many people there.The light in the corridor was dim, Bai Jing walked to the end and knocked on the door that was not closed tightly.
"Who?"
Bai Jing pushed open the door and saw Chang Yuxin wearing headphones, lying on the bed as if listening to music.
"Are you free, can I trouble you to take me out for a walk?"
Chang Yuxin looked a little reluctant, Bai Jing thought for a while, and changed his attitude: "Please, I'm a girl, I don't know the place where I live, and I'm a little scared to go out alone at night~"
Perhaps the sense of responsibility as a policeman has been baked into his bones, and Chang Yuxin immediately got out of bed when he heard this sentence: "Okay, then wait for me for a while."
Not long after, the two packed up and went out together.
It was just after eight o'clock in the evening, but the whole Yumen Village was already very quiet.There are almost no people on the streets of the village, and occasionally someone is saying goodbye by lighting incense candles and the like.Bai Jing took a closer look and found that some shrines would be set up on the street corners in the village, and what was enshrined in them were piles of relatively large jade stones that didn't make sense, but he knew that they were the representatives of Yu Mingjun's divine body.
Chang Yuxin probably didn't know what to say, so he picked out some random things along the way and told him that this is a stage, where operas are performed during festivals and festivals; there is a health center there, and there is only one doctor, and the villagers go there when they get sick. Looking there, no matter how serious the illness is, he will go to the nearby town; the communication with the outside world has increased in the past two years, a homestay and an Internet cafe have been opened in the village, and occasionally tourists will come to visit.
"Internet cafe?" Bai Jing paused, "I have a friend who runs an Internet cafe. His name is Chu Lingya, and his Internet cafe is called Sao Ling."
Chang Yuxin glanced at him inexplicably, and let out an "oh".Bai Jing is disappointed, it seems that Chang Yuxin's memory has been washed clean, and he doesn't even remember his good friends.How is this going to take him out?
Bai Jing said: "What kind of god do you believe in here... Lord Yuming?"
Chang Yuxin's steps obviously stopped for a while, and then he continued: "Well, the Great God Yuming is our patron saint and our ancestor. People here regard themselves as its descendants."
"It doesn't sound like you really believe it?" Bai Jing asked tentatively.
Chang Yuxin paused again: "I didn't mean that."
Bai Jing followed him along a narrow alley.There is a small ditch at the door of every household here. You can wash things in the water at ordinary times. In case of fire, it can also play a protective role.
Chang Yuxin's footsteps stopped suddenly, and Bai Jing was about to keep making indirect comments, to see if he could remember something, when he looked up, he saw a small dim room with a man in a police uniform. He poked his head out of the window: "Ah Xin, are you still walking outside at this late hour?"
Chang Yu thought to himself: "Accompany my sister and friends for a stroll in the village."
The man said: "Friend?"
Chang Yuxin pushed Bai Jing forward and said, "Well, she invited friends over to attend the door ceremony."
The man shot over with gloomy eyes, and looked Bai Jing from head to toe. His eyes stayed on Bai Jing's chest for a long time, which made Bai Jing very uncomfortable, but he held back.
"Since you know that the door-to-door sacrifice is coming soon, don't wander around at night if you have nothing to do. It would be bad if you bumped into the envoy."
"Hey, okay, thank you Brother Qiang." Chang Yuxin pulled Bai Jing, beckoning him to leave quickly.The two walked along the path quickly, until they turned two corners, they seemed to still feel the cold gaze of the man like some kind of reptile.
"Who is that?" Bai Jing asked.
"Qiu Qiang, the policeman in charge of this village." Chang Yuxin said, "Stay away from him, this person is not very good." After he said this, he seemed to be stunned, obviously he was not very good for this " "What's wrong, and I'm a little puzzled why I said it.
Bai Jing didn't expose him, and he wasn't sure if giving too much stimulation directly would affect Chang Yuxin, and ever since he came to the game world, Bai Jing always had a strange feeling that there seemed to be a pair of invisible eyes somewhere. Eyes were watching him.
Bai Jing asked, "What is an envoy?"
"During the door-crossing ceremony, it is said that there will be envoys from the Great God Yuming who will come to the village to learn about the situation. They may appear in various forms, such as birds, insects, cats, dogs, etc., or they may be a certain person. Listen to the current situation in the village, do you still respect God Yuming, have you done anything wrong, etc., the most important thing is to investigate the god wife, if it is found that the god wife is virtuous, etc. For problems in this area, God’s punishment will follow.”
"Is there really a situation where there will be problems under investigation and fines?" In Bai Jing's view, isn't this just monitoring his slaves to prevent slaves from having improper thoughts?
"...Yes." Chang Yuxin replied after a while, but he refused to continue, "The ancestral hall is here."
Bai Jing raised his head and found a black building on the open space not far away. The door was decorated very elegantly. At this time, it was brightly lit, and there were bright red silk flowers hanging on the door, which looked beaming.
"Your sister, what is Qiu Qingyu preparing in the ancestral hall these days?"
"Ceremony. The process of door-to-door sacrifice is very complicated. If one fails to do it properly, the god wife will be disqualified directly, and the village will suffer accordingly, so strict training must be conducted in advance."
"I heard that if you become a god's wife, you can't return to the human world. What does your sister think? Does she really want to be the wife of a high god?"
"Hush." Chang Yuxin covered Bai Jing's mouth, and then he realized that his behavior was inappropriate, and let go of his hand at a loss, "Slow down, you will really be heard !"
Bai Jing looked around, it was pitch black and there was no one in sight.
"You don't understand, ears and eyes are everywhere." Chang Yu said heartily, "I beg you, please don't trouble me, big sister!"
big sister...
Although he is not a woman, Bai Jing also thinks this title is too shocking, not to mention he is so beautiful.Nonsence!Bai Jing felt that his mind was a little unclear because he had been wearing women's clothes for too long.
It was purely an accident that Bai Jing would debut under the name Bai Jing.Because he chose the wrong word with the pinyin input method on the Internet, Bai Jing thought that he would use a pen name anyway, so he simply used the word "Jing", and it was because of his excellent aesthetics of women's clothing that he was inexplicable after his debut. It was rumored that she was a rich and beautiful woman, and the company also felt that this was a gimmick, and he himself didn't like being a public figure to affect his private life, so he naturally invented a virtual character like "Bai Jing".
Bai Jingjing is fictional, and Bai Jing who wrote about Bai Jingjing is actually fictional, and the real Bai Jing is hiding behind the scenes.
Bai Jing asked softly, "Can I visit the ancestral hall?"
"Of course not!" Chang Yuxin whispered, "The ancestral hall is a forbidden place, ordinary people are not allowed to enter, unless..."
"Unless what?"
"Here." Chang Yuxin pointed to the door with his chin, and after a while, Bai Jing saw two teenage girls walking out in fairy-like light pink dresses with flower baskets in their hands. , "Unless they are like them. Those are future candidates for God's wife, and now they are called maids."
"Okay." Bai Jing stood up, and before Chang Yuxin had time to stop him, he quickly ran to the gate of the ancestral hall and stopped the two girls.Chang Yuxin watched helplessly as he chatted with those two people, and left a phone call with each other, and then ran back with a smile on his face.
"What the hell do you want?"
"Say hello." Bai Jing said, "This is the first time I've come to a village like yours with such well-preserved traditional customs. I want to know a little more. Oh, I forgot to tell you. I'm a cartoonist and I'm good at creating ghosts. A work of suspense."
"Manga..." Chang Youxin's expression showed that he seemed
Unlike Chu Lingya, Bai Jing woke up on a shaking bus.
The setting sun came in from the car window, bringing with it a warm temperature, which made him unable to remember who he was and where he was now. Fortunately, soon there was a place on his body that seemed to be frozen, Bai Jing I shivered and came back to my senses.
Yes, he is Bai Jing. He was still in that magical Internet cafe just now. In order to find Chang Yuxin, who resembles his dead dog Roy, he jumped into Bai Jingjing's game world on his own initiative.
Bai Jing reached into his pocket and touched the thing that had frozen him a while ago, but now the thing is not frozen anymore. ——It was the three talismans that Chu Lingya gave him.Bai Jing reached out and touched his neck subconsciously, and then remembered that the amulet he had worn since childhood was left outside this time, and could no longer protect him.
All right, we have to be vigilant.
Bai Jing looked around and found that it was a very old tin gasoline bus.
This kind of old-fashioned bus is no longer seen in Changle City now. At this time, there are only a few people sitting in the bus. Besides Bai Jing, there are two women, three men, and one The bus driver and a conductor sitting at the window yawning boredly.
Bai Jing recalled the settings of Bai Jingjing's game, and quickly judged that his destination was approaching.
Yumen Village, also known as Prison Gate Village, is the stage where the story of this game takes place.
Sure enough, not long after Bai Jing thought about it, the bus made a screeching brake sound and slowly stopped.
The conductor pressed the door open button, and the bus door bounced open with a bang: "Yumen Village is here, those who want to get off the bus take your luggage, hurry up."
In the voice of the conductor who was exhausted and gloating, Bai Jing followed the rest of the people and got out of the car one after another.Before getting out of the car, he purposely went around to the front to take a look at the driver, and saw a pale, impersonal face.
Bai Jing looked away thoughtfully.
In the sunset, the group of them stopped on a "platform" without a platform, and a stop sign pole inserted into the soil on the side of the road was the whole platform.
After putting down the people, the bus continued to drive forward along the dirt road. A large cloud of smoke and dust was raised up at a speed as if fleeing, and several passengers who got off the bus coughed non-stop.
Bai Jing took a quick and careful look at the people around him. There were two women, one looked like a college student in her early twenties, the other looked in her forties, she was plainly dressed, and she was holding a black plastic bag There were three men left, two of whom looked familiar and young, and the other was a thin and dark old man who didn't know what he was there for, and was empty-handed.
After these people got out of the car, those who took out their mobile phones took out their mobile phones, and those who looked at the map looked at the map. They were all very busy.
The first one to leave was the middle-aged woman. She seemed to be generally wary of other people and was not in a group with anyone. She was the only one who got out of the car and looked around the crowd, then hugged the plastic bag in her hand tightly. The bag hurried away.
"This is Mrs. Du." Bai Jing judged the identity of this woman. After all, he wrote the outline, so it can be deduced to some extent.From this point of view, the skinny old man is Qiu Lu, a character who doesn't seem to be a good person but will be proved to be a good person in the second half of the story. Of course, he died a miserable death in the end.
Most of the two young people are insignificant passers-by. These characters who are not the main supporting roles are all designed by the game planner, and Bai Jing has no impression of them.As for that female college student...
"Sister Bai, can I go with you?"
Bai Jing was stunned for a moment, not only because the female college student was suddenly thrown in front of him, but also because of that "Sister Bai".
Bai Jing looked at himself belatedly, and suddenly realized that his breasts seemed a little...big.
Bai Jing closed her eyes and thought, well, the protagonists of the game are Bai Jingjing and her assistant after all. From this point of view, with the word "Sister Bai", these two characters will come to life together.
"Xiao Luo?"
Luo Xing nodded obediently.In response to the suggestion of the planning department, the assistant played by the player in the game has two gender choices. The female is named Luo Xing (of course, you can choose your own name), and it is set to be a distant cousin of the supporting role Luo Xun, who is both righteous and evil. , also said that it was his illegitimate daughter, although the author himself did not know about this rumor, anyway, the character is a lively and well-behaved girl; the other male character is named Hu Yue, a new character limited to the game, the character design is a Bingshan Tsundere little handsome guy.Both Luo Xing and Hu Yue have their own unique skills. This is an inevitable setting. After all, players play games to have fun. If you don't give them a chance to have fun, they will definitely not let you have cool sales.
Bai Jing said to Luo Xing: "Let's go, let's enter the village together."
The first two young men also discussed it, and greeted them: "Are you two beauties going to Yumen Village to play? We are from City A. We just graduated from university this year and are going on a graduation trip. Would you like to join us?" Play with a partner?"
Bai Jing glanced at them and didn't say anything, Luo Xing smiled and shook his head first: "We're not here to play, we're here to attend a friend's wedding."
wedding?
Bai Jing finally recalled the game story of Bai Jingjing.
Yumen Village, as the story progresses, will be revealed as the story progresses, and the world will know that its real name is "Prison Gate Village", but for the time being, let's call it by this name.Legend has it that the villagers in this village are descendants of a mysterious ancient country that has been lost in the dust of history, with a history of thousands of years.They have lived at the foot of this mountain for generations, guarding the last holy place of the ancient country in the mountain.There are two huge jade gates that symbolize this ancient country. It is said that these two gates will appear in the world only at special times and through special ceremonies. This is the legend of Yumen Village held every five years. "Pass the door offering".
The so-called "passing the door" in traditional customs refers to the first time a woman in marriage and love comes to the man's house, and it also means getting married. The name "passing the door sacrifice" obviously means that this is a sacrifice with a connotation of marriage.Since it is a sacrifice, there must be one party in the marriage who is not a human being. In Bai Jingjing's game, this opponent is set to be the patron saint of the mysterious ancient country left in the world-Jade Emperor.
The villagers of Yumen Village still believe that Lord Yuming is guarding the descendants of the ancient Yumen Kingdom. As a believer, every five years, the village will select an outstanding girl of the right age and send them to the altar of the gods in the mountains through the "Mortal Festival". place.Legend has it that after the ceremony, Lord Yuming will show up and bring the girl, his divine wife, into the Yumen. Seven days later, the Yumen will be opened again, and the girl will return to the village to "Guining", and then return to the mountains and never set foot again. world.
This ceremony has been held for thousands of years, and countless godwives have been sent to the mountains. It is said that most of the godwives have brought glory to the family and brought blessings to Yumen Village, but some girls have lost their lives because of various reasons. The reason is that Yu Mingjun disliked them. Some of them were driven back after living on the mountain for less than a week. After returning, they not only lost their memories of the mountain, but even became crazy, unable to speak clearly.For this part of the girls, the villagers thought that she was stamped "unlucky and unkind" by Yu Mingjun, and no one would pay attention to them, even the family members were unwilling to accept them, so these girls probably ended up very miserable.
In the setting of this game, Bai Jingjing took the time to accompany Luo Xing to attend the wedding of a friend of hers because she owed Luo Xun a favor. Obviously, this friend was the god wife in this year's "Passing the Gate Festival" in Yumen Village .Of course, if you look at it from a third-party point of view, you have to ask Bai Jingjing to go with you to attend a wedding. Obviously, this so-called "passing ceremony" has problems from the beginning, but don't use too much God's perspective in the game.In short, after Bai Jingjing left, through a series of clues, she discovered the truth that the village had been covering up for thousands of years.
It turns out that the "door-to-door sacrifice" is not a sacrifice to select a god's wife, but a proof of the backwardness and barbarism of this village.For thousands of years, people here have guarded a piece of land, neither wanting to go out to work, nor want to develop their hometown. They insist that they are descendants of gods, and they are unwilling to communicate with the outside world and intermarry. Gradually, they become poorer and poorer. more and more closed.However, they always insisted that as long as enough god wives are sacrificed, the Jade Gate can be opened, and as long as the Jade Gate is opened, the countless wealth left by the ancient country can be found, and they will live a life of masters from then on.
However, where in the world does the pie that falls from the sky come from.In order to maintain the normal life of the village, the managers in the village, that is, the presbytery in the setting, have regarded the young women in their village as "lambs" that can be sold at will since many years ago.They secretly established bases in the mountains, engaged in various despicable activities such as selling silver and acting on behalf of clouds. Those young and naive girls grew up under the theocracy culture, and they were brainwashed unconsciously. When they entered the mountains, it was too late to escape. , Throughout their lives, they were imprisoned in the mountains, and after being drained of their surplus value, they were thrown into the sacrificial pit to worship the gods.Occasionally, a few girls with strong personalities and relatively clear minds chose to resist, and the final outcome was either suppressed, or even if they escaped, they became mentally abnormal because of the persecution, and their families still regarded them as Unclean people refuse to accept them, so they can only die miserably outside in the end.
The player takes on the role of a junior high school classmate of the "prospective god wife" Qiu Qingyu. The two have not seen each other for a long time. Because of a wedding invitation, he/she and Bai Jingjing came to Yumen Village, and what awaited them was a series of bloody murder cases.After investigation, Bai Jingjing and the player found that the murderer was the girl who had discovered the bad habits in the village a long time ago and slaughtered the whole village in order to avenge her sister who died tragically.In the end, everything will be reduced to ashes in the sea of flames. The gorgeous flames are like the wedding dress on Qiu Qingyu. This brave girl destroyed this deformed demon lair with her courage and anger alone, and also wore Wearing this blood-colored wedding dress, she walked into the deep mountain in the sea of flames and ended her short life.
Although Bai Jing's outline is a story with complete clues, the company believes that Bai Jingjing's game is just testing the waters. Both the gameplay and player acceptance need to be further observed, so it is not in favor of incorporating too complete and controversial plots from the beginning , so as not to affect the official launch of the follow-up Bai Jingjing series of comics, coupled with the time limit, in the end, only the murder case in the village on the eve of the marriage of a classmate was taken in the production, and Bai Jingjing and her assistant solved the case, which is relatively easy and simple. Bai Jing doesn't know if there will be a day when he will see the sun again.
As the sun set, the surroundings quickly became dark. Looking at the big mountain in front of him, Bai Jing couldn't help thinking, how much of everything in this world is actually exposed on the water, and more things are probably like this twilight. I don't know how many mountains in the world have sunk in the huge shadow, no one knows it.

"This is your home?"
"That's right." On the other end, Wu Zhongyou had already graciously let Chu Lingya into his home. Of course, he was trembling towards Tianxi, and people may not be able to tell who is easy to mess with and who is not. The strength comparison of ghosts is almost clear at a glance.That feeling is called survival.
Wu Zhongyou stuck to the side, watched Tianxi bouncing and following Chu Lingya into the door, and silently gave Chu Lingya a thumbs up in his heart.How powerful Chu Lingya must be if he could subdue such a ghost!
Chu Lingya looked around Wu Zhongyou's house, quite surprised.Because this place is exactly what Wu Zhongyou said, it is a very ordinary apartment for single young people.The house is not big, and things are packed in a mess, but it is full of worldly smoke and smoke everywhere, and it doesn't look like a place where ghosts live at all.
Chu Lingya bent down to open the refrigerator, and found that there was indeed a pile of fat house happy water, frozen instant food, snacks and so on.
Tianxi came over and looked at Chu Lingya curiously, then pulled his hand: "I want to drink that."
Chu Lingya persuaded her: "Coke is not good for children's health, and it's someone else's stuff."
Tianxi: "I want to drink that!"
Wu Zhongyou hurried up to smooth things over: "Drink, drink, it's okay, anyway, it will reappear after you take it off, and you won't feel it in your stomach after drinking it, just have a mouthful." He said, taking out two cans of Coke, Carefully present it to Tianxi.
Tian Xi hugged the Coke and laughed, ran to the sofa and jumped.
Chu Lingya sighed helplessly: "You shouldn't spoil children."
Wu Zhongyou: "She...she must not be young."
Indeed, judging by Tianxi's clothes, she is not a ghost of this era.
Chu Lingya shook her head: "Her time has stopped, so she is still a child."
Wu Zhongyou didn't quite understand what Chu Lingya meant, but he still nodded.
Chu Lingya said: "What happened to you that day, you disappeared suddenly, and we couldn't find you even if we tried to find you later."
Wu Zhongyou rubbed his head: "I don't know either. What room did I want to go with you to rest?" He silently crossed out the word "prison" that came to mind, "Suddenly I feel like my mind is confused After a while, when I came back to my senses, I was back in the room. I almost thought I had a dream, if I didn't see you today, I really couldn't explain it!"
"Did anything special happen after that?"
"Nothing special..." Wu Zhongyou said, "Chu Lingya, do you think I will never get out for the rest of my life?" He looked at Chu Lingya pitifully.
"Do you want to go out by yourself?" Chu Lingya asked him.
"Of course I want to. Although I don't have to worry about eating and drinking here, it's really boring to be alone, and I don't know when there will be any accidents."
Chu Lingya said: "Let me take a look at your room first."
"Okay, okay, look around." Wu Zhongyou said, jumping up to show Chu Lingya the way, "This is my bedroom."
Chu Lingya saw the computer desk facing the door and the computer on it at a glance. At this moment, the computer was not turned on, and the computer screen was black.
"Don't you turn on your phone every day and look outside?"
"Oh yes, after coming back out of nowhere that day, I don't know why it can't be opened."
Chu Lingya went up and pressed the power button, the main computer made a slight running sound, and soon the display screen turned on.
"Huh?" Wu Zhongyou was stunned, "I clearly..."
"Play that game and have a look." Tianxi got in at some point, climbed onto the computer chair and double-clicked the black cat icon, a circle of ripples rippled on the computer, followed by Chu Lingya and the others. A mountain under the twilight appeared, and several people were walking towards a village at the foot of the mountain.
"Uh...Bai Jing?" Chu Lingya looked closer at the screen, and soon realized that what she saw was a running game, and the protagonist of the game seemed to be Bai Jing, even though she was a woman.
"The game started?!" Wu Zhongyou was also stunned, "What's going on, I could only see the outside scene before."
Chu Lingya said: "What is the content of this game, please tell me carefully."
……
Bai Jing followed the crowd to Yumen Village after it was completely dark.
The mountain in the dark night looks like a huge beast lying on its back, its true face cannot be seen clearly, and Yumen Village, which is still flickering with lights, looks like the monster's eyes looking at the world.
There is a river at the gate of Yumen Village. Walking across the stone bridge, you can see a stone archway with the words "Yumen Village" written on it. The two couplets on the left and right are all auspicious words. From this point of view, it is not ordinary. Villages are no different.
However, at this time, the word "囍" was plastered everywhere in the village, which was obviously a gesture of organizing a wedding.
"There is really a wedding!" Two young people who came to play, one named Gu Mingxuan and the other named Chen Kang, excitedly took out their mobile phones and "clicked" to take random pictures.On the way here just now, the two of them have already explained their background clearly. They were originally visiting a nearby city, and they accidentally heard that there is a Yumen Village here. It is a traditional custom, so I came here by car for a run.As for the fact that Yumen Village began to receive tourists, although it was not in line with Bai Jing's original intention, it was not too discordant. He guessed that it was an adjustment made for the convenience of players.
After a few people entered the village, they saw a huge banyan tree at a glance, with countless aerial roots extending from the tree, densely packed.The banyan tree is covered with red wishing talismans and glass wind chimes. When the night breeze blows, these strips of cloth flutter along with the crisp bells of "jingling", the atmosphere is absolutely in place.
"Sister Bai, my friend's house is at the west end of the village, let's go there." Luo Xing took out an envelope, opened it and said.It was a red wedding invitation card, and the groom's name was written in the column: Qiu Yuming, but no photo was posted.
The local aboriginals in Yumen Village are all surnamed Qiu, and occasionally have some foreign surnames, and they are all married by distant cousins who have been going around. This is something that only happened in the past few decades.
Gu Mingxuan and the others reluctantly said goodbye to the two beauties, and went to find a homestay by themselves, while Bai Jing and Luo Xing rushed to the home of the protagonist, the murderer Qiu Qingyu. The first murder occurred, and the deceased was the Mrs. Du whom they had met at the entrance of the village before.
Yumen Village is not big, and it only takes more than ten minutes to walk from the beginning to the end of the village. Bai Jing followed Luo Xing, looking at the houses and buildings along the way.
The style of the houses is basically modern, most of them are self-made two or three-story buildings with courtyards and mosaic glass bricks on the exterior walls. Every household is equipped with solar water heaters and satellite antennas. Occasionally, some people can see cars in their homes. It is a trace left by modern society, but other than that, there is always something strange about this village.After seeing a few houses, Bai Jing realized that it was because there were strange spells with black letters on a red background pasted on the doors of every house.
Bai Jing thought for a while, and realized that it was the talisman blessed by Yu Mingjun, the representative of game art design.All the people in Yumen Village will post such charms on their doorsteps, which not only means to be protected by Yuming Lord, but also means to show that they are followers of Yuming Lord.In addition, there will be uninterrupted sight of some kind of string-like decorations made of colorful jade hanging on the door of several families, which means that this family has a god wife.A string means that there has been one, some people have several in their homes, and the rows of jade strings hanging on the doorway are like some kind of impressive evidence, and most of these people live better than others, and the houses are more Tall, even the doorway is built more grandly.There are three strings of jade hanging on the door of Qiu Qingyu's house, which means that there have been three god wives here, and after she gets married, a fourth string of jade will be hung here.
Luo Xing stopped at the door of Qiu Qingyu's house: "This is it." She said, and rang the doorbell.
A sharp electric bell tore through the night, making people startled suddenly.
"Meow!" Bai Jing turned his head to look, just in time to find a black cat with green eyes lying on the wall of Qiu Qingyu's house, the cat gave Bai Jing a cold look, it seemed to have something in its mouth, Bai Jing Before Jing could see clearly, it lightly jumped to the ground and ran away quickly.
"Scared me." Luo Xing patted his chest, and after a while, footsteps came from the yard.
"Who is it?" It was a middle-aged woman's voice.
Luo Xing hurriedly said: "Hi, we are Qingyu's friends, she invited us to the wedding."
Unexpectedly, the inside heard the words but fell silent.
"Aunt?"
After a while, the voice sounded again: "Oh, okay, wait a minute, Xin, there are guests!" The footsteps actually turned back again, muttering something, and it took a long time before a series of voices sounded again. There were footsteps, and someone quickly ran to open the door.
"Are you friends of Sister Qingyu?"
Seeing the head protruding from the door, Bai Jing almost wanted to grab the person and leave, but luckily he still had reason.
Undoubtedly, the person who came to open the door had a heart, but the captain of the criminal police was wearing a loose undershirt and shorts at the moment, pulling his shoes off, looking like a young country boy.
"Yes, my name is Luo Xing, and I'm Qingyu's junior high school classmate. This is..."
"You don't know me?" Bai Jing asked.
"Huh?" Chang Yuxin who was called Ah Xin was stunned for a moment, then looked at Bai Jing suspiciously, "You are..."
"Bai Jing."
Luo Xing glanced at Bai Jing, as if he was a little strange why his name changed from Bai Jingjing to Bai Jing, but maybe he thought it was some kind of pseudonym, so he didn't correct it.
"Bai Jing?" Chang Yuxin recalled the name in his mouth, as if he had heard it somewhere but couldn't remember it.
Bai Jing was a little disappointed, but this also confirmed his thoughts.Even taking Chang Yuxin away forcibly now may be useless, because he lost his memory and was completely possessed by the characters in the game.But... Bai Jing doesn't remember that he set up a younger brother for Qiu Qingyu, is this also added by the game planner?
"Sorry, I can't remember, where did we meet?" Although he lost his memory, Chang Yuxin was still Chang Yuxin after all, and his speaking style was so direct.
Bai Jing shook his head: "Forget it, maybe I remembered it wrong."
"what?"
Luo Xing has already stepped into the door: "Where is Qingyu, why is she not seen?"
"My sister is in the ancestral hall preparing for the 'door-to-door sacrifice', and she won't be back until later." Chang Yuxin said, "Since she invited you here, you can stay at our house, we have available guest rooms."
"Are there two rooms? We live separately." Bai Jing said.
"Yes, yes." Chang Yuxin was obviously a little surprised by the guest's "out of sight", but he accepted it.
Bai Jing seized the time to look at Qiu Qingyu's house. The house was pasted with red Double Happiness characters everywhere. It really looked like a daughter who was about to get married. His eyes fell on the northeast corner of the whole house, where there was a building that was different from modern concrete buildings. The small wooden house looks quite old.
"That's our family's shrine, where the gods' wives used to be, and my sister's will go in too." Chang Yuxin explained, and when he said the last sentence, his voice was a little low.
"What is a divine wife?" Luo Xing couldn't help asking, as if he still didn't understand what was going on.
"The god's wife, the sacrificial victim." Bai Jing said, "This is what your classmate is going to marry."
Chang Yuxin's body shook slightly, as if he had reacted to Bai Jing's words, but he didn't show it in the end, but his warm attitude just now cooled down: "Master Yu Mingjun is the god who protects our village, you are Outsiders, it's better not to talk nonsense, otherwise..."
"Otherwise what will happen?" Bai Jing asked.
Chang Yuxin was silent for a while: "Anyway, just don't talk nonsense." He pushed open the two doors, "This is for the two of you to live here, if you need anything, just call me, I live in the innermost room."
After finishing speaking, he dropped the two guests and left on his own.
------------------------
Muse 12
In the dim living room of Qiu's house, only Bai Jing and Luo Xing were left.
Luo Xing yawned and said, "Sister Bai, then I'll go to rest first." After saying that, he went into a room by himself.
This is probably the difference between the game and the real world. If it was in the real world, I am afraid that no one would be as careless as Luo Xing, who would not understand the surrounding situation, and go to sleep after his friends.
Bai Jing didn't bring any luggage, but when he went into the room and opened the closet, there were actually some replacement clothes, each set was very delicate, obviously the artist had put a lot of thought into Bai Jingjing's clothes.Bai Jing took off the skirt on her body, picked out a pair of trousers that were easy to move around, and went out.
Qiu Qingyu's house was quiet, and it didn't look like there were many people there.The light in the corridor was dim, Bai Jing walked to the end and knocked on the door that was not closed tightly.
"Who?"
Bai Jing pushed open the door and saw Chang Yuxin wearing headphones, lying on the bed as if listening to music.
"Are you free, can I trouble you to take me out for a walk?"
Chang Yuxin looked a little reluctant, Bai Jing thought for a while, and changed his attitude: "Please, I'm a girl, I don't know the place where I live, and I'm a little scared to go out alone at night~"
Perhaps the sense of responsibility as a policeman has been baked into his bones, and Chang Yuxin immediately got out of bed when he heard this sentence: "Okay, then wait for me for a while."
Not long after, the two packed up and went out together.
It was just after eight o'clock in the evening, but the whole Yumen Village was already very quiet.There are almost no people on the streets of the village, and occasionally someone is saying goodbye by lighting incense candles and the like.Bai Jing took a closer look and found that some shrines would be set up on the street corners in the village, and what was enshrined in them were piles of relatively large jade stones that didn't make sense, but he knew that they were the representatives of Yu Mingjun's divine body.
Chang Yuxin probably didn't know what to say, so he picked out some random things along the way and told him that this is a stage, where operas are performed during festivals and festivals; there is a health center there, and there is only one doctor, and the villagers go there when they get sick. Looking there, no matter how serious the illness is, he will go to the nearby town; the communication with the outside world has increased in the past two years, a homestay and an Internet cafe have been opened in the village, and occasionally tourists will come to visit.
"Internet cafe?" Bai Jing paused, "I have a friend who runs an Internet cafe. His name is Chu Lingya, and his Internet cafe is called Sao Ling."
Chang Yuxin glanced at him inexplicably, and let out an "oh".Bai Jing is disappointed, it seems that Chang Yuxin's memory has been washed clean, and he doesn't even remember his good friends.How is this going to take him out?
Bai Jing said: "What kind of god do you believe in here... Lord Yuming?"
Chang Yuxin's steps obviously stopped for a while, and then he continued: "Well, the Great God Yuming is our patron saint and our ancestor. People here regard themselves as its descendants."
"It doesn't sound like you really believe it?" Bai Jing asked tentatively.
Chang Yuxin paused again: "I didn't mean that."
Bai Jing followed him along a narrow alley.There is a small ditch at the door of every household here. You can wash things in the water at ordinary times. In case of fire, it can also play a protective role.
Chang Yuxin's footsteps stopped suddenly, and Bai Jing was about to keep making indirect comments, to see if he could remember something, when he looked up, he saw a small dim room with a man in a police uniform. He poked his head out of the window: "Ah Xin, are you still walking outside at this late hour?"
Chang Yu thought to himself: "Accompany my sister and friends for a stroll in the village."
The man said: "Friend?"
Chang Yuxin pushed Bai Jing forward and said, "Well, she invited friends over to attend the door ceremony."
The man shot over with gloomy eyes, and looked Bai Jing from head to toe. His eyes stayed on Bai Jing's chest for a long time, which made Bai Jing very uncomfortable, but he held back.
"Since you know that the door-to-door sacrifice is coming soon, don't wander around at night if you have nothing to do. It would be bad if you bumped into the envoy."
"Hey, okay, thank you Brother Qiang." Chang Yuxin pulled Bai Jing, beckoning him to leave quickly.The two walked along the path quickly, until they turned two corners, they seemed to still feel the cold gaze of the man like some kind of reptile.
"Who is that?" Bai Jing asked.
"Qiu Qiang, the policeman in charge of this village." Chang Yuxin said, "Stay away from him, this person is not very good." After he said this, he seemed to be stunned, obviously he was not very good for this " "What's wrong, and I'm a little puzzled why I said it.
Bai Jing didn't expose him, and he wasn't sure if giving too much stimulation directly would affect Chang Yuxin, and ever since he came to the game world, Bai Jing always had a strange feeling that there seemed to be a pair of invisible eyes somewhere. Eyes were watching him.
Bai Jing asked, "What is an envoy?"
"During the door-crossing ceremony, it is said that there will be envoys from the Great God Yuming who will come to the village to learn about the situation. They may appear in various forms, such as birds, insects, cats, dogs, etc., or they may be a certain person. Listen to the current situation in the village, do you still respect God Yuming, have you done anything wrong, etc., the most important thing is to investigate the god wife, if it is found that the god wife is virtuous, etc. For problems in this area, God’s punishment will follow.”
"Is there really a situation where there will be problems under investigation and fines?" In Bai Jing's view, isn't this just monitoring his slaves to prevent slaves from having improper thoughts?
"...Yes." Chang Yuxin replied after a while, but he refused to continue, "The ancestral hall is here."
Bai Jing raised his head and found a black building on the open space not far away. The door was decorated very elegantly. At this time, it was brightly lit, and there were bright red silk flowers hanging on the door, which looked beaming.
"Your sister, what is Qiu Qingyu preparing in the ancestral hall these days?"
"Ceremony. The process of door-to-door sacrifice is very complicated. If one fails to do it properly, the god wife will be disqualified directly, and the village will suffer accordingly, so strict training must be conducted in advance."
"I heard that if you become a god's wife, you can't return to the human world. What does your sister think? Does she really want to be the wife of a high god?"
"Hush." Chang Yuxin covered Bai Jing's mouth, and then he realized that his behavior was inappropriate, and let go of his hand at a loss, "Slow down, you will really be heard !"
Bai Jing looked around, it was pitch black and there was no one in sight.
"You don't understand, ears and eyes are everywhere." Chang Yu said heartily, "I beg you, please don't trouble me, big sister!"
big sister...
Although he is not a woman, Bai Jing also thinks this title is too shocking, not to mention he is so beautiful.Nonsence!Bai Jing felt that his mind was a little unclear because he had been wearing women's clothes for too long.
It was purely an accident that Bai Jing would debut under the name Bai Jing.Because he chose the wrong word with the pinyin input method on the Internet, Bai Jing thought that he would use a pen name anyway, so he simply used the word "Jing", and it was because of his excellent aesthetics of women's clothing that he was inexplicable after his debut. It was rumored that she was a rich and beautiful woman, and the company also felt that this was a gimmick, and he himself didn't like being a public figure to affect his private life, so he naturally invented a virtual character like "Bai Jing".
Bai Jingjing is fictional, and Bai Jing who wrote about Bai Jingjing is actually fictional, and the real Bai Jing is hiding behind the scenes.
Bai Jing asked softly, "Can I visit the ancestral hall?"
"Of course not!" Chang Yuxin whispered, "The ancestral hall is a forbidden place, ordinary people are not allowed to enter, unless..."
"Unless what?"
"Here." Chang Yuxin pointed to the door with his chin, and after a while, Bai Jing saw two teenage girls walking out in fairy-like light pink dresses with flower baskets in their hands. , "Unless they are like them. Those are future candidates for God's wife, and now they are called maids."
"Okay." Bai Jing stood up, and before Chang Yuxin had time to stop him, he quickly ran to the gate of the ancestral hall and stopped the two girls.Chang Yuxin watched helplessly as he chatted with those two people, and left a phone call with each other, and then ran back with a smile on his face.
"What the hell do you want?"
"Say hello." Bai Jing said, "This is the first time I've come to a village like yours with such well-preserved traditional customs. I want to know a little more. Oh, I forgot to tell you. I'm a cartoonist and I'm good at creating ghosts. A work of suspense."
"Manga..." Chang Youxin's expression showed that he seemed
