Watching fans with the protagonist every night

Before dawn, the sacrifices began.All the members of the Beiying clan, including the elders, arrived at the back mountain. The red firecrackers were piled up to the height of a person. Several fifteen or sixteen-year-old children helped spread the firecrackers on the mountain, and spread them on the side of the execution platform. After the fog on the mountain dissipated a bit, the huge noise finally exploded in his ears, and Yi Xin radiatedly went to cover Qiu Yihan's ears.

Qiu Yihan evaded without a trace, shaking his head lightly.

Yixin knew that there were many people here, so he was on guard, so he didn't force it, thinking that he set off firecrackers with the children in the orphanage during the Chinese New Year. He was the one who was the least afraid of making noise, and he was also the one who helped other children cover their ears the most times. Man, firecrackers were not allowed in the city later, and the Chinese New Year was not so lively.

A group of people ran to five places in a row, and the snow that had accumulated half a person's height on the mountain road on the back mountain had been completely cleared away. After the firecrackers were set off at the fifth place, Yi Xin couldn't help feeling that they were really idle, even if These places are the entrances to the underground altar, why are there five openings?After opening five openings, the yin qi released by it will not be less, and it will be scattered, which is very difficult to control.

After setting off a lot of firecrackers, and walking through the many mountain roads, it took almost an hour. When we returned to the main house of the Beiying Clan, old man Zhao took a group of children to the cafeteria for the first time. After breakfast, old man Zhao gave They sent out another stack of bamboo slips, and Yi Xin suddenly remembered that after the New Year, Qiu Yihan would start choosing courses.

On the bamboo slips exuding the fragrance of bamboo leaves, there are even various items such as piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, etiquette, and Peking opera balabala. Old man Zhao waited for them to finish reading before bringing up a bamboo tube with many bamboo sticks inside.

"Everyone smokes one to decide the content of the exam in June." He said lightly.

"what……"

"Isn't there still a March exam?"

"There are more than four months left for the June exam..."

"Why draw lots now..."

"Shh..."

The children were immediately agitated. They knew the date of the Beiying Clan exam and how difficult the June exam would be, but they had to consider the difficult exam before the simple exam in March. This really made them uncomfortable, although the voice was not It calmed down after a while, but the dissatisfaction was still reflected on their faces, especially Yu Keren.Recently, Yi Qingchen was not around, Yu Keren restrained himself a lot. On the way here, Yi Xin heard that he also stayed in his room for three days, which was not easy... Yu Keren was already so lively the point.

"The June exam was drawn temporarily 700 years ago." Old man Zhao stroked his beard and smiled, his eyes gleaming, "However, because the temporary task did not necessarily match their previous training, many people did not complete it 700 years ago. tasks, even... dying outside..."

"Hiss—" the children collectively gasped, except for a few courageous ones who came from famous families, the others couldn't help showing doubts, Qiu Yihan frowned.

What can a six or seven year old child do?

Old man Zhao said: "You choose courses according to your own tasks. After the task is completed, you can freely control it for half a year. For the remaining half year, you will draw lots according to the task of the next big exam. Except for this year, you don't have to take the exam in March. The big exam is going out in June, the exam is in the clan in September, and the exam is in December... Remember, don't forget it as soon as you look back, no one has died in the clan for a long time..." Old man Zhao sighed lightly, as if he hadn't The dead were not to his liking, and there were two or three little ghosts who were not afraid of anything except death, and their faces turned pale when they heard this.

Old man Zhao signaled, and a group of people went up one by one according to their positions to draw lots.When it was Qiu Yihan's turn, Yixin stretched her neck vigorously to see what the contents of the signature in the tube were, but only the serial number was written on the signature, nothing else was written.

"Haha, go back and study hard!" Old man Zhao gave them the notes in the other tube in the order they drew, and rarely smiled, but in the eyes of others, he was full of gloating,

Yixin sharply saw that Qiu Yihan had drawn seven, and the note on the seventh read: rootless water yarn, merman fabric, sharks in the sea hate Lu people very much, there is a list of rewards for water yarn in Lu Nei City.If you get one, you will be given a pass; if you get the approval of the sharks, you will be good;

Yi Xin's heart sank, the first thing he thought of was not the difficulty of this task, but Dong Hai...

Although the keel in the East China Sea does not exist now, if he wants to "revisit the old place" with Qiu Yihan, it is really difficult to control his emotions.

The person who received the note spontaneously returned to the house, and Qiu Yihan also returned to the house. Today is New Year's Eve, and after the lunch break, everyone will go down to the altar, and everyone in the Beiying Clan will have a New Year's Eve dinner together.

Qiu Yihan copied all the words on the bamboo slips to the bamboo slips, and spent the rest of the time in meditation.Yi Xin looked up and down the words on the note several times, and gradually got a little annoyed.

He really doesn't want himself to think of Shi Wuxiu when he gets along with Xiao Qiu Yihan, but he will always think of it.

After the lunch break, everyone gathered at the entrance of the north courtyard of the main house. The patriarchs and elders walked in the front, and some people were holding several jars of cinnabar.

The northernmost part of the north courtyard is empty all the year round. There is a large pool in the courtyard, which is filled with dark water. A huge statue of a turtle and snake is half submerged in the pool. The color is also thick black. The patriarchs and elders respectfully After bowing three times and kowtowing nine times to the statue of the turtle and snake, a group of people behind them also knelt down. After several kowtows, the big pool split in the middle, and the water dropped until it was invisible. steps appear in front of you.

What came to his face was an extremely heavy smell of corpse decay.Qiu Yihan's fingers moved slightly, and Yi Xin couldn't help secretly rejoicing that the evil spirit here was heavier than he had imagined. Fortunately, he had prepared for Qiu Yihan before.

Everyone went down to the tunnel. At the end of a relatively spacious tunnel, a huge statue of Taotie was crawling in it. Right above it was where the statue of the turtle and snake was. The Taotie was obviously guarded. This Taotie was bigger than what I had seen before. After Qiu Yihan observed quietly, his eyes shifted to Yi Ziyi.

Yi Ziyi's expression was both normal and strange, very flat.It is normal because he is hundreds or even thousands of years old, and he has participated in countless sacrifices, so it is impossible for him to be as scared and excited as a new kid.It's not normal because... other elders who are older than him have indescribable solemnity and respect on their faces, but he is the only one who doesn't.

Yi Ziyi... Yi Ziyi... Ziyi...

Jiang Ziyi?

Qiu Yihan's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he lowered his eyes.

After the elders kowtowed, they put the vats of cinnabar they had brought in the center. Starting from the patriarch, everyone dipped their hands in the vats of cinnabar, and then wiped the runes around Taotie with their hands dipped in cinnabar. The rune, there was a faint golden light, Yi Xin frowned and looked at all this, it happened to be Yu Keren's turn, when Yu Keren put his hand on the rune, he suddenly said "Ah!", several people looked at him sternly Stabbing at him, he stopped in fear and gave way to the next one.

Yi Xin suddenly knew why he was panicking, and also knew why there was a rotting corpse in the altar.

When Qiu Yihan reached out to touch the rune, he was obviously also taken aback, but he immediately recovered his expressionless face, put his hand away and stood aside.

The patriarch led the elders to chant ancient mantras, and the runes shone brightly. Red liquid slowly seeped from the Taotie stone statue, and flowed from the stone statue onto the runes.The cinnabar is mixed with the red liquid, and the final color is the same as before, dark red and dull, and the evil spirit on the Taotie stone statue has been reduced by an unknown amount.

After finishing the sacrifice, the Beiying tribe washed their hands in the small underground pool—it was pure melted snow water, and soon they would start eating the New Year's Eve dinner.

Yi Xin didn't know what other people thought, anyway, if it was him, he would definitely have no appetite at all.

The New Year's Eve dinner was very rich, with delicacies from all over the world, and even the Jiuqiongju and Penglai Eighteen Seats that Yixin had eaten at the Fengdu Zhisheng Inn.

The children had a good appetite, and at first they were restrained and did not dare to eat. Later, they must have been starved by the custom of only two meals a day for newcomers here, so they began to eat.

Qiu Yihan still eats at the usual speed, taking his time and eating slowly.Yi Xin could see whether she could eat or not, but she was not greedy, she just stared at the opposite table with full attention.

The table where Qiu Yihan was sitting was the authentic table of the Eight Immortals, all of them were children, and the patriarch and elders were also at the table of the Eight Immortals, not far away, and the rest were long tables where people could sit on both sides.Qiu Ye sat next to the elder, the only "outsider" who sat at that table.

Qiu Ye didn't talk very much, but repeated the same plate of food and the same glass of wine. The people at the same table were not surprised by such strange signs, and Yi Xin couldn't help but have a bad feeling. Thinking of the previous rune, he Know that this hunch is very likely to be true.

The New Year's Eve dinner lasted until Zishi.During this period, no one left the table, even if they were sitting dry, no one left first.

When the patriarch ordered them to go back to their room to rest, some of the younger clan members had already eaten a round belly, and some of them drank some wine secretly, and could not walk in a straight line.In the end, the older disciples were asked to take them back to their rooms.

Qiu Yihan had never touched alcohol before, he stopped moving his chopsticks after eating about [-]% full, but it was a shame to drink the fruit juice in the cup for a while.

Back in the room, Qiu Yihan also drew the talisman on the altar below, stroke by stroke, without any mistakes.

While Yixin lamented how powerful he was, he also decided to tell him what he had discovered, anyway, he would always know in the future, and knowing something in advance would be beneficial to Qiu Yihan now.

"Xiaoqiu, do you know what is the mystery in the charm of this altar?" Yi Xin put on a mysterious look after tidying up the room.

Qiu Yihan: "...I don't know." ←←

Yi Xin said: "That spell can absorb people's energy."

Qiu Yihan lowered his head, and took out the talisman that was attached to his heart from his bosom. The paper of the talisman was faintly black, but the side that was attached to the heart was still the original yellow color, unchanged at all, and the power of the talisman paper was not lost at all. "No wonder, the runes under the altar are intertwined, and there is a sense of bouncing and touching. It turns out that those runes are the blood of Taotie..."

The author has something to say: Little Theater

Yixin: I always feel that you make too many ←←.

Qiu Yihan: Because I am the second generation of immortals (the apprentice of the immortals), the first generation of ghosts (the master of Fengdu ghosts), the second generation of demons (the descendants of the demon clan), the second generation of gods (the disciples of gods) balabalabala...

Yixin: ...
