Except my kindergarten is full of monsters

Rong Sui tried to shake his hand in front of a young man. The man was walking forward with a basket of fish on his back. After Rong Sui stretched out his hand, he suddenly stopped. His black eyes looked straight at Rong Sui's direction. He didn't speak or move.

"Fuck!!" Rong Sui froze and stared at him nervously. After a while, the young man turned his head and continued to pass Rong Sui with a fish basket on his back with a smile on his face.

Surprised, he patted his chest, and Rong Sui pulled Yin Zhuzhi to walk forward quickly, not daring to provoke these villagers.

"Are these ghosts?" Rong Sui asked after finding a place where no one was around.

Yin Zhuzhi's brows haven't been relaxed since he came in, and he has a stern face with some doubts, "No."

"It's not a demon either." Seeing Rong Sui's expression, he added: "I don't know what it is either."

Rong Sui whispered, "You don't know anything?"

Yin Zhuzhi's ears were reddish, and he felt a little embarrassed that he couldn't see the origin of these things, but he really couldn't see it, so he could only honestly say: "I don't know everything about everything in the world, I just live a long time, so It’s just a little more knowledgeable than ordinary people.”

Rong Sui noticed his red ears, Xindao Zhulong looked at the flower of Gaoling, his face was quite thin, and he didn't know if it was because of his original personality or because he had become smaller.

So he took Yin Zhuzhi's hand and continued to walk forward, "I don't know if there is a way, let's go and see what they are going to do first."

Most of the villagers are walking in one direction. That is the end of the village, and there is a building that is taller and more exquisite than other houses.

Rong Sui guessed that it should be a building like an ancestral hall. The villagers carried tables, chairs, benches, food and drinks to that side. After a while, the open space in front of the ancestral hall was already full of things.

Bypassing the villagers and the piles of food utensils, Rong Sui was about to enter the ancestral hall to take a look, but he just took a step when he suddenly felt a strong gaze on his back. He turned his head slightly and saw the busy villagers here Shi Zheng stared at him intently.

The same gaze as the young man's before, dark, empty, lifeless.

Rong Sui: "..."

He tried to take back his raised foot, and stood still at the entrance of the ancestral hall. The villagers staring at him in unison seemed as if the play button had been pressed, and resumed what they were doing, whispering and joking with each other. It was as if they had never seen the two at the entrance of the ancestral hall.

Unable to go in, Rong Sui could only crane his neck to look inside, "It looks like I can't go in." Otherwise, who knows what will happen.

Fortunately, although this ancestral hall is large, there is not much cover inside, so you can see it at a glance.

Just like Rong Sui's guess, this is an ancestral hall, but what is enshrined is not an ancestral tablet, but a humanoid statue.The statue is very tall and mighty. He is wearing a red dress and a red robe, a bear skin, a spear in one hand, a shield in the other, and a golden mask on his face.This mask is different from the one seen on the wall of the village. It has four eyes, and the four corners are longer than ordinary masks, so it looks more strange and fierce.

There are also twelve low tables under the statue.There is a mask placed on each low table. The basic shape is four corners, protruding eyes, huge mouth and fangs, and no ears.What distinguishes them is the patterns on the masks. Each mask is engraved with completely different patterns, and some are written with ancient characters, which obviously represent different meanings.

Rong Sui's eyes swept over these masks one by one, and when he glanced at one of them, he felt vaguely familiar.

But he had never seen such a statue before, so he couldn't help muttering, "Don't be some evil god, are you?"

"It's Fang Xiangshi." Yin Zhuzhi said.

Fang Xiangshi, also known as Momu, is the wife of the Yellow Emperor and a deity widely believed by humans in the early days. She is a god who can drive away epidemics and evil spirits.In the past, the Yellow Emperor toured the world, and his Yuan wife died of illness on the way.The Yellow Emperor ordered his mother to direct the sacrificial affairs and guard the coffin.Because of her outstanding ability, the Yellow Emperor made her Fang Xiangshi, and used her fierce appearance to drive away evil spirits.

In ancient times, the human race declined and fierce beasts were rampant. The appearance of many fierce beasts meant epidemics and disasters, not to mention the death of the third son of Zhuanxu who turned into a plague ghost, causing disasters to the world.

The power of the human race is weak, and it is extremely difficult to resist these evil things by themselves, so they can only ask for the power of the gods to drive away evil spirits.

And because Fang Xiangshi was born tall and ugly, she can drive away evil spirits, so many people enshrine her.At the turn of spring, autumn and winter, there will be a grand Nuo, asking Fang Xiangshi to drive away the plague ghosts.

Yin Zhuzhi's eyes fell on the twelve masks, and he said slowly: "These twelve masks are the twelve beast gods. During the Nuo ceremony, the twelve beast gods will be conquered by Fang Xiangshi, and then they will be defeated by Fang Xiangshi." Under the command of Shi, help the people expel the plague ghosts."

Rong Sui said: "Then they are preparing the Nuo ceremony? It sounds like there is nothing wrong with it."

He has also heard of some Nuo rituals. This ancient ritual has been passed down to modern times, and later developed into Nuo opera, known as the living fossil of drama.Although wearing a vicious mask and jumping and roaring greatly, it may seem weird and terrifying to those who don't understand, but it is actually a ritual to exorcise ghosts and pray for blessings.

Yin Zhuzhi shook his head, his eyes fell on a mask engraved with tiger stripes, his expression was a little dignified, "Didn't you realize that we have walked around the village, but didn't see Qiongqi?"

Rong Sui was taken aback for a moment, and then he was startled when he realized it, "You mean..."

Yin Zhuzhi reached out and touched the tiger-striped mask, "One of the twelve beast gods in the Nuo ceremony is Qiongqi."

Rong Sui was stunned, and subconsciously took a step forward to look at the mask. Suddenly, there was the sound of dishes being smashed behind him, and his back was pierced with sinister and strange eyes. Rong Sui froze his body, in a dilemma.

Yin Zhuzhi took him by the hand and pulled him out, and those people picked up the fallen utensils and started to work again. At this time, the sun had completely set, and there was only a ray of afterglow on the horizon, barely illuminating this side of the sky.

Yin Zhuzhi said: "Qongqi is probably trapped in a certain place, but how these villagers trapped him, I haven't figured it out yet."

He looked at the increasingly dark sky, "And there is another link in the Nuo ceremony, which is to find someone in yellow clothes to pretend to be a sneak, and be expelled from the village by Fang Xiangshi and the twelve beasts."

Exorcising invisible ghosts evolved slowly later. In the original Nuo ceremony, Fang Xiangshi led the twelve beasts to drive them out of the house one by one. Expelled during the ceremony.

But along the way, they only saw the mask to exorcise ghosts, but not the mask representing sneakiness.

So where does the sneakiness on the Nuo ceremony come from?Either there are other invisible things in this village, or... They outsiders are the ghosts to be expelled.

Either way, it's not good news for them.

The last glimmer of light in the sky was also swallowed by the darkness, and suddenly there was a heavy beating of drums in the sky. The sound of the drums came from nowhere, and each sound became faster and faster, as if it was hitting people's hearts.Rong Sui always felt very sad and sad when he listened.

The villagers seemed to be unable to hear the sound of the drums, and quickly packed their things, covered the food with cloth towels, and returned to their homes in groups of three or four.

The street became empty in a moment. After the villagers returned, there were no candles lit in the house. The night on the street became heavier and heavier, almost to the point where you couldn't see your fingers.

"Hold me tight."

The hand hanging by the side was tightly held, and a cold voice that was different from that of a child rang out. Rong Sui turned his head to look at the side by his side, and could only vaguely see a pair of golden and clear pupils.

Yin Zhuzhi led him and walked back along the way he came.

Rong Sui couldn't see the path under his feet, and he walked a little staggeringly, but fortunately, Yin Zhuzhi was very careful, and half supported him to show him the direction.

In the darkness, the eyes could not see, but the other senses became extremely sharp. Rong Sui felt the big hand holding him steady and strong, even in the darkness where he could not see his fingers, there was a reassuring warmth.

In the darkness behind him there was a lot of movement. Rong Sui wanted to turn around to look, but his eyes were covered by a warm and dry hand. Yin Zhuzhi's voice was still cold, but when he listened carefully, there was an imperceptible gentleness. "Don't look."

Rong Sui blinked, his eyelashes scratched Yin Zhu's palm, making him itchy.

"What is it?"

"Those villagers."

A warm yellow light came from ahead, Yin Zhuzhi saw the appearance of the bus, and whispered: "It's here."

He let go of his hands covering Rong Sui's eyes, Rong Sui blinked, feeling a little uncomfortable looking at the light coming from the bus.

Seeing them coming back, the driver quickly opened the car door to let them come in, but when he reached Yin Zhu, he asked in a trembling voice, "Isn't the one who went out with you a pretty kid?"

Rong Sui blinked, looked at Yin Zhuzhi, who was dressed in casual attire, with an evil taste: "Growing up, didn't you realize that he has exactly the same eyebrows and eyes as that kid?"

Driver: "..." He said that the child must not be human, otherwise there would be no way for Tanlu to bring a child as a companion.

"Yes, it's quite similar..." With dry laughs, the driver rubbed his arms and shrank back to the driver's seat, and went to look at Yin Zhuzhi again without looking.

Everyone else came up to ask about the situation, and Wen Tun looked behind Rong Sui, "Why didn't Grandpa come back?"

The smile on Rong Sui's face faded a bit, but he still tried his best to hide his worry, "There is a village ahead, we searched around the village, but we didn't see anyone."

Bai Ze said: "The village? Is it far away? We can't see any villages from here."

Rong Sui: "You can only see it when you get closer. It seems to be an ancient village. The villagers are also very strange. They are neither monsters nor ghosts. Even the gods can't tell what they are."

"The village will hold a Nuo ceremony tomorrow. We suspect that my father is trapped in the village. We plan to go there again at dawn."

While they were talking, the driver in front yelled again and scrambled to hide behind.

"There are ghosts outside! There are ghosts outside!"

He squatted in the aisle in the middle with his hands folded, and while he was chanting "Taishang Laojun is as anxious as a law" and "Guanyin Bodhisattva blesses" indiscriminately, he raised his sleeves and wiped his tears while crying.

"I don't want to die. I have old and young children. Before I left, my wife told me to boil bone soup and wait for me to drink it when I go back..."

Seeing his heartbroken look, Rong Sui patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "It's going to be okay, there are ghosts outside, and we have a carload of monsters here too, I'm sure we'll let you go home and drink bone soup."

The driver cried: "..." Thank you then?

Yin Zhuzhi, who had been silent all this time, walked to the window and looked out.It was pure blackness outside the car window, except for the faint light from a row of small lights on the roof, barely illuminating the space inside the car, the world outside the car seemed to be immersed in a pool of ink, nothing but pitch black .

In the reflection of the car window, the golden pupils became brighter and brighter. Yin Zhuzhi looked at the creature stalking in the darkness. With his finger on the glass car window, a red flame flew from his fingertips to the window.

The flame is very weak, but it can illuminate a small area around it when it shakes. I saw that where it passed, the darkness briefly receded, revealing faces with hideous masks.

This mask is made of wood, just like the ones that Rong Sui saw hanging on the wall, except that although the previous ones were hideous, they didn't make people fearful or uncomfortable.But at this time, amidst the thick ink, the mask that was occasionally illuminated by the fire gave off an uncomfortable atmosphere.

Protruding eyes, four corners, huge fangs, no ears, exactly the same shape, these masks seem to grow on the faces of the villagers at this time, Rong Sui moved, and even the protruding eyeballs of the masks moved accordingly .

"It can't be burned." Yin Zhuzhi suddenly said: "They are invisible things."

Candle Dragon used to guard the Netherworld with a fire spirit, which could burn away all sneaky filth. However, after the fire spirit touched these villagers, it did not burn, indicating that they were not ghosts, but invisible things.

Intangible things with no form or body will naturally not burn.

Bai Ze said: "Could it be resentment?"

In addition to sneaky monsters, there are actually many other forms of creatures in this world, and resentment is one of them.

Monsters are raised by nature, their souls are transformed after death, and resentment is formed by the gathering of strong resentment.

Bai Ze saw it once.It was a defeated city. It is said that two cities fought a thousand years ago, and the victor slaughtered all the people in the defeated city. Thousands of years later, that city has been abandoned, and the dead people have already turned into bones.But occasionally someone breaks in by mistake, only to find that the city is as prosperous as it used to be, and the dead people still live and work in peace and contentment.

Some experts have been invited to rescue him, but they all say that there are no ghosts.

Later, Bai Ze passed by by chance, so he went to see it out of curiosity. As expected, the common people live in it, and it doesn't matter if outsiders enter it, just like being in two worlds.He found out that it was caused by resentment, or because he saw a long spear on the city wall. The red tassel of the long spear was ruined and covered with rust, only the tip of the spear was white and sharp.

Out of curiosity, he pulled out the spear, and the prosperity in the city disappeared without a trace.All that is left is decadence and desolation.

The owner of the spear is said to be a very brave general. He has been guarding the city and the people, but he was defeated in that battle and died with the people in the city, leaving only a spear.

"If it's resentment, at least there must be a carrier." Bai Ze said: "Besides, resentment is just a phantom-like thing formed by the gathering of strong resentment, and it is not offensive."

And the villagers they saw didn't look harmless.

Bai Ze also became a little uncertain.

At this time, there was another big drum sound in the sky, the tone was thick and powerful, and after three thuds, the masked villagers retreated back like frightened birds.

Rong Sui asked, "Where did the sound of the drum come from?" They didn't see a big drum in the village either. Speaking of which, drums were indeed used in Nuo rituals, but they didn't see them in the ancestral hall.

"From all directions."

Yin Zhuzhi opened the window, and the cold wind blew in through the crack of the window, and the fire light floated in along the wind, stopped and dangled in front of Rong Sui before disappearing.

"I'll go and see tomorrow, and I'll know if it's resentment."

Rong Sui nodded, and went back to his seat to sit down. He was leaning against the window, and when he turned his head, it was the dark night outside. He stared at it for a while, took out his mobile phone to check the time, and the time on the mobile phone was gone since he came in. Changed, Rong Sui sighed very lightly, staring at the photo of him and Rong Fu on the screen in a daze.

"Go to sleep." Yin Zhuzhi took out his mobile phone and closed the curtains of the car window, "Qingqi is one of the twelve beast gods, and if it is calculated that it is better than our situation, nothing will happen."

Rong Sui stretched out his hand to rub his face, and responded in a low voice.There were old people and children in the car. Even though he was worried about Rongfu, he didn't dare to show it too obviously. He had been holding back just now, but now that he was quiet, he couldn't control his emotions.

Yin Zhuzhi hesitated for a moment, then raised his hand to rub his head.

Rong Sui smiled gratefully at him, leaned back on the back of the chair, and forced himself to rest with his eyes closed. He had to go to the village tomorrow, so he had to refresh himself.

For the Yaozu, sleep is not necessary. Yin Zhuzhi imitated Rong Sui's appearance and lay on the back half. After lying down for a while, he couldn't help turning his face to the side, staring at the sleeping Rong Sui.

The positions of the two were very close, and Yin Zhu could see the young man beside him by turning his face.

Rong Sui didn't sleep very peacefully, his brows were slightly frowned, and under his thin eyelids, the eyeballs moved restlessly.Yin Zhuzhi raised his hand and tapped lightly between his frowning brows, his face softened under the light, "Have a good sleep."

As his fingers left, Rong Sui's frown relaxed, and his breathing became peaceful and long.

Yin Zhuzhi turned his face away, and couldn't help turning to look at him after a while.In the past, he didn't have much contact with the young man. At most, after the young man cooked delicious food, he would bring a copy to him.But he never responded. It is his duty to protect Zhong Shan and Zhong Shan's creatures, and he does not need the youth's confession.

Perhaps because of this, the young man regarded him as a stone statue that could not speak, and occasionally chatted with him. He felt a little noisy at first, but after getting used to it, he thought it would be good to listen to the life of Zhong Shan's creatures. , and let him go.

However, after feeling that warm feeling personally, Yin Zhuzhi felt a little dissatisfied.

He wasn't content to just watch the warmth from the sidelines.

Lowering his eyelashes and narrowing his shining golden eyes, Yin Zhuzhi turned back into a cub, raised his paw and hesitated for a moment, then climbed over the back of the chair and nestled on Rong Sui's lap.

The warm body temperature passed through the close skin, Yin Zhuzhi narrowed his eyes in satisfaction, and nestled quietly on Rong Sui's lap with his tail crossed.

...

The night passed, the sun rose from the east, the morning glow dispelled the night, bright light came in through the curtains, Rong Sui was dazzled by the light, and slowly opened his eyes.

After sitting and sleeping all night, his body was a little stiff. He moved his legs, only to notice the sudden extra weight on his thighs.

Rong Sui stared confusedly at the dragon cub on his lap, "You..."

When did Yin Zhuzhi change back?When did it climb onto his lap?Obviously when he was sleeping yesterday, the God of Zhongshan was still sitting beside him.Rong Sui thought in a daze.

"Let's go." Yin Zhuzhi pursed his ears, curled the tip of his tail secretly, climbed back to his seat with a calm face, and then transformed himself into yesterday's cold and reliable god again.

"Oh yes, let's go." When it came to business, Rong Sui didn't care about other things, rubbed his eyes and got out of the car with Yin Zhuzhi.

This time, he brought Bi Fang with him, while Long Ya and the others stayed in the car to make an afterthought.

Bi Fang squatted on Rong Sui's head, the driver had already seen the strangeness, and opened the car door calmly to let them get out.

The three of them walked towards the village again.

The village is more lively than yesterday.The children have changed into colorful clothes, chasing and playing with wooden masks on their faces.The adults have already started practicing Nuo on the side of the road.

Bi Fang shook his head and complained, "Are they dancing to the gods?"

Nuo Chan's movements are large and exaggerated, because they evolved from the movements of driving away wild animals, so they don't pay much attention to rhythm and aesthetics, but mainly rely on large-scale repetitive program dances.It doesn't look so beautiful, and sometimes it can even be called hot eyes.

When they walked to yesterday's ancestral hall, they saw that an altar had been set up in the open space in front of the ancestral hall. On the altar was a smaller statue of Fang Xiangshi, and under Fang Xiangshi, there were twelve statues in sequence. The mask of the beast god, Rong Sui saw the mask engraved with tiger patterns representing Qiongqi at a glance.

The sacrificial offerings have been arranged neatly, and they must be offered on the altar first. After the Nuo ceremony is over, the villagers will make a feast of the sacrificial raw meat and celebrate together.

Rong Sui stared at the mask, "Could that mask be Dad?"

Yin Zhuzhi took a look, "The possibility is very high."

Bi Fang said, "Why don't you just grab the mask?"

"This is not a real world." Yin Zhuzhi looked at the distant sky, "...he has his own set of rules. If we rashly break the rules here, other changes may occur."

The most important thing for these villagers is the grand Nuo, so when Rong Sui tried to enter the ancestral hall, the villagers would all look at them. If Rong Sui insisted on entering yesterday, no one knew what the consequences would be.

The masks of the twelve beast gods are important items in the Nuo ceremony, and obviously they cannot be snatched away casually.

Rong Sui frowned, "Then what should we do? Wait until they finish the ceremony? But who knows what will happen after the ceremony."

Yin Zhuzhi shook his head, "We need to find the source."

These villagers are just the result, not the cause of all this.If you want to leave smoothly, you have to find the source of all this.

The three of them stood aside, watching the villagers happily preparing for the Nuo ceremony.

Fang Xiangshi is played by a very tall man. He is dressed in bright red clothes, with a beast's skin on his back, a wooden shield on his back, and a halberd in his hand. If you don't look at that face, follow him Fang Xiangshi really does look alike.

The Twelve Beast Gods also selected young and strong men in the village, all of them were tall and tall, dressed in red clothes, with colorful ribbons hanging around their waists.

Fang Xiangshi and the twelve beast gods hadn't put on their masks yet, they were all gathered under the altar and waiting for something.When the sun in the sky rose to its highest point and people's shadows became the shortest, the master of ceremonies sang loudly, "Please God."

As his voice fell, there was a rapid and exciting drumbeat in the air, and the man playing Fang Xiangshi strode forward and performed a strange etiquette to Fang Xiangshi's statue, "Please the gods give me strength."

After he finished speaking, he got up, took off the golden four-eyed mask on the statue of Fang Xiangshi, and put it on his face.

The other 12 people, like him, also put the masks of the twelve beast gods on their faces after going through complicated etiquette.

The villagers watching the ceremony cheered, put on their masks one after another, jumped around with their hands raised high, and cheered enthusiastically in a language that Rong Sui could not understand.

The 13 people wearing masks were divided into two camps, and their momentum changed subtly in an instant.

Fang Xiangshi faced the twelve beast gods alone, and the dignified atmosphere gradually spread, and the cheering and dancing villagers were also infected and quieted down, watching this scene nervously.Only the thick drumming continued, but the drumbeat had eased down.

Fang Xiangshi let out a roar, and started beating on the spot with a halberd in one hand and a shield in the other.The twelve divine beasts also began to dance around him as if paying homage.

In the Nuo ceremony, Fang Xiangshi must first defeat the twelve beasts and make them surrender before he can drive the twelve beasts to eat ghosts.

Under the altar, Fang Xiangshi opened his hand and jumped left and right a few times, then he gave a loud shout and stabbed the halberd towards the forehead of a beast god.The stabbed Beast God stopped and made a gesture of submission.

There was another burst of enthusiastic cheers among the villagers, and then Fang Xiangshi subdued the twelve beast gods one by one, and led them to the villagers' homes.

The next step is to exorcise ghosts.

Headed by Fang Xiangshi and assisted by the twelve beast gods, they entered the house one by one, circled and danced in the house to drive away the plague ghosts, and the villagers followed behind, murmuring words that Rong Sui could not understand .

There are not many houses in the village, but jumping from house to house, the time is also a bit reluctant, it seems that the sun in the sky has already set on the western horizon in a blink of an eye.

Fang Xiangshi and the Twelve Beast Gods came out of the last room, but the ceremony did not end. The man playing Fang Xiangshi raised his halberd and said loudly: "There are evil spirits watching outside the village, we have to get rid of them. Devil!"

The villagers raised their arms and shouted, "Expel the evil spirits! Exorcise the evil spirits!"

They repeated "" to drive away evil spirits over and over again, their voices became mechanical and stiff, and the afterglow of the setting sun in the distance fell on the mask, suddenly giving birth to a little weirdness.

The evil spirits outside the village... aren't they the ones who are talking about, Rong Sui moved, but was held back by Yin Zhuzhi, who raised his index finger and pressed lightly on his lips, "Shhh, watch first."

Rong Sui was taken aback, and saw these villagers raised their arms high, cheered and followed Fang Xiangshi, and slowly walked out of the village.

Rong Sui noticed that from the moment the villagers left the village, their bodies suddenly became shriveled, and their empty clothes fluttered in the wind, but there was still a mechanical and repetitive sound coming from the wooden masks, "to expel evil spirits." Ghosts! Get rid of evil spirits!"

Just like the ghostly villagers I saw last night, they were weird and terrifying.

Only the last bit of the orange-red sunset was exposed on the horizon. The crimson sunset covered half of the sky, and the other half was already covered with twilight. The villagers wearing masks walked slowly towards the direction of the bus. In a hurry, he could only look at Yin Zhuzhi frequently.

Yin Zhuzhi looked at the distance, his eyes reflected the red glow of the sky, and he already had some calculations in his heart.He patted Rong Sui on the shoulder, and he instructed: "Don't go out of the village."

He glanced at the place where the setting sun was sinking, where there was still the last ray of extremely red and bright light, and the dull drum sound was also coming from there. The speed catches up with the last ray of light.

The drumming continued, and there was a hint of sadness in the haste. The villagers kept walking and surrounded the bus.

Under Yin Zhuzhi's order, Rong Sui did not dare to step out of the village at will, and could only stand anxiously at the entrance of the village and watch the bus.

-

The figure doubled, but the movement did not stop at all. Yin Zhuzhi flew to the place where the setting sun fell, and his tail was vigorously drawn towards the junction of the sky and the earth... The scales of the adult candle dragon are extremely hard, and the mane on the tail is even more comparable to a sword. But for a moment, the world they were in trembled slightly.

Rong Sui looked up at the sky, and saw the Candle Dragon, which was almost as tall as this side of the world, its black scales reflected red light in the setting sun, as if engulfed in a raging flame.

Yin Zhuzhi kept moving and continued to attack the same position.

But the villagers surrounding the bus showed panic and began to get restless, "A ghost is coming! It's a ghost!"

"Kill them kill them!"

"They're ghosts!"

The wooden masks seemed to be integrated with the villagers, and expressions of horror or ferocity appeared on the dull faces, but in the end they all threw themselves on the bus in unison, banging on the window with their weapons.

"Fuck it!"

Suddenly an extremely abrupt swear word came out amidst the sound of knocking, and the man who was squeezed into the innermost layer wearing a Qiongqi mask suddenly grabbed the halberd in Fang Xiangshi's hand, and then the halberd swept across, throwing the villagers who were lying on the car window Sweep them all away.

"I'm finally able to come out." The man swayed around with his halberd, as if he was not used to his body. He lowered his head and glanced around, and couldn't help but curse again, "What the hell is this? What about my body? "

While he was speaking, the villagers rushed towards the bus again, Rong Fu cursed a few words, and could only use this body of some kind to drive the villagers away.

"Go away, Lao Tzu!"

He was stunned, and when he managed to escape, he realized that it was not his own body. He was so angry that he swept away all the villagers around the bus with a halberd.

The masked man outside suddenly started fighting by himself, Bai Ze stopped the half-drawn formation, leaned over to the car window to look, "Is there an internal fight? Can you still draw the formation?"

Long Ya squinted his eyes to look at the candle dragon in the distance, shook his head and said, "There's no need to draw."

-

A crack suddenly appeared in the dark sky, Zhulong grabbed the crack with two claws and tore it forcefully, and there was a cry of pain in the air, "Ah, it hurts, it hurts!"

Yin Zhuzhi's eyes were piercing, he still didn't stop his movements, and directly tore out a passage that was big enough for him to pass through.

At the same time as the sound sounded, the masked villagers disappeared suddenly, leaving only an old Qiongqi mask falling to the ground, making a dull sound.

Rong Fu in the mask was thrown, his teeth bared, his mouth dizzy, hissing and panting in pain, so that he cursed his mother.

Rong Sui saw the villagers surrounding the bus disappear from a distance, and hurried over with Bi Fang in his arms, and then heard a familiar voice scolding the Eighteenth Company.

Rong Fu was trapped in the mask and couldn't move, so he could only enjoy his mouth. When he saw his boy coming, he stopped his voice angrily, "My boy, my boy, pick me up quickly."

Twitching the corner of his mouth, Rong Sui looked at his old father who had turned into a mask, bent down and picked up the mask, "What's going on?"

I went out to find a way, and got myself into the mask.

Rongfu was also depressed. He just found out that the village was preparing for the Nuo when he was exploring the road.As Qiongqi himself, one of the twelve beast gods, he found the ugly mask a bit displeasing to the eye, and snatched the mask away regardless of the villagers' stares.As a result, he fell unconscious before taking two steps.

When he regained consciousness, he found himself trapped in the mask.

What else could Rong Sui say after hearing this, he could only say "should" to his old father.

...

The villagers disappeared, but the trembling of the world was not over yet. Every time Yin Zhuzhi exerted his strength, the screaming became worse. Rong Sui sounded like killing a pig.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

"Don't tear it, don't tear it, stop it, woo woo woo woo..."

"My face is going to be rotten..."

With a complicated expression on his face, Rong Sui lowered his head and asked his old father, "What kind of monster is this?" It sounded strange....

"I don't know." Rong Fu moaned displeased, "How could I know such a motherfucker monster?"

On the other hand, Bai Ze stared at the sky for a while, then suddenly asked, "Could it be Kui?"

"Shan Hai Jing" records: In the East China Sea, there is Liubo Mountain, which goes into the sea for seven thousand miles.There is a beast on it, shaped like a bull, with a pale body and no horns, with one leg, and when it enters and exits the water, there will be wind and rain. Its light is like the sun and moon, and its sound is like thunder. Its name is Kui.The Yellow Emperor got it, used its skin as a drum, and used the bone of a thunder beast as a prong. It was heard for five hundred miles, and it was powerful in the world.

It was peeled and made into a big drum, which matched Kui's situation.

"It's me, it's me, hero, please forgive me..." With the cry of Wuwu, a giant bull with only one foot slowly emerged. His body was a little weak, and it was obvious that he had no entity.

Although he looks strong and mighty, Kui looks weak, his black eyes are full of tears, and he looks at Rong Sui and the others with aggrieved eyes, "What are you doing!? They are sleeping soundly..."

Rong Sui: "..."

He couldn't speak to the delicate and weak Kui for a while, and he was silent for a long time before remembering to ask: "You trapped us here first, right?"

I didn't expect to be so honest that the villain would sue first!

Kui blinked his moist eyes, and said innocently, "Nonsense, I've been sleeping and I haven't even turned over!"

Rong Sui: "?"

He vaguely sensed that there seemed to be something wrong, and raised the mask that restrained Rongfu and asked, "Then do you know this mask?"

Unexpectedly, when Kui saw the mask, he burst into tears again. While crying, he still grabbed the mask and hugged it in his arms, "I know you so well..."

Rong Fu was so disgusted by being hugged and rubbed in his arms, and he couldn't break free, so he could only curse angrily, "Crying egg, why don't you talk well? Let me go!"

Kui was so frightened that he hiccupped loudly, and the crying stopped immediately. He stared blankly at the mask in his arms, and said sadly, "Why are you swearing?"

After a while, he screamed again and threw the mask on the ground, "This is not my mask!"

Rong Fu was so dizzy that he forgot to swear.

Rong Sui picked up the mask and patted it clean. Judging from Kui's appearance, it should not be a fake, as if he really didn't know about all this.He told him what happened in the village.

After listening to it, Kui was a little stunned, and it took him a long time to blink. Although he didn't cry, Rong Sui felt that he was really sad this time, just like the drumbeat he heard before. It is pathos.

"That was a long time ago." Kui said sadly.

At that time, he was still a young Kui, and he was accidentally caught and skinned to make a drum, but for some reason, his consciousness never dissipated, and he was attached to the drum, tossing around.I don't know how many years later, the big drum made of his skin fell into a village. The village is not very rich, but the villagers are all diligent and hardworking, living hard.

Kui was placed in the ancestral hall, and would be taken out to hold the Nuo ceremony every year during the Nuo ceremony. He liked the people and atmosphere of the village very much, so he tried to make the loudest voice every time, and prayed for the village together with the villagers.

I don't know how many generations have passed like this, and suddenly there was a mistake in the Nuo ceremony.An evil spirit who does not know where it came from entrenched the village. The Nuo held by the villagers failed to drive it away, but instead angered the evil spirit and ate up the entire village.

In the formerly bustling village, there is only a lonely Kui and an old mask left.Kui was very sad. He only remembered that he cried for a long time, hid the remaining mask in the drum body, and fell into a deep sleep along with the village.

"When I wake up again, it will be now." When he mentioned the sad matter, his mood dropped a lot, "What you saw was probably my dream."

He still vaguely remembered that he didn't sleep very well, as if he had a lot of nightmares.

"I didn't know it would happen." Kui is a good Kui, knowing that he had accidentally done something bad, he even apologized to Rong Sui, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, can you guys stop tearing my face off... ...it hurts."

Rong Sui looked at the sky where a big hole had been made, and waved to Yin Zhuzhi with all his strength. The huge candle dragon circled several times in the air, shrunk down and landed in Rong Sui's arms.

Rong Sui patted his back, "Thank you."

Yin Zhuzhi lay in his arms, and closed his eyes tiredly.
