After being dressed as the evil god

The wind passed through the woods leisurely, and the fallen leaves swirled, and the chicks that accidentally fell were supported, and they fell back to the nest under the wind.

By the time the frightened chicks screamed with their immature voices, the wind had already blown through the woods, leaving only the rustling of leaves and a period of coolness.

When it was about to blow out of the woods, the wind suddenly stopped.

The wind that was contaminated with the fresh air of the plants and soil in the forest fell to the ground and scattered, turning into a monk with dark green robes and a smooth face, carrying a piano bag and wide sleeves, and the sleeves were stained with dew on the stones in the forest.

His eyes fell on the slope of the mountain forest, as if he saw something, he walked over there.

……

The forest canopy hides the sun, and the forest under the forest is more quiet.However, as the sun was about to set, the quietness under the forest gradually turned into a cold one.

At this time, generally no one will stay in the mountains and forests.It was going to be night soon, and even the most skilled hunter would not be happy to spend the night in such a mountain forest.However, in the mountain forest at this time, there are two people, an old man with a rough face, although shrunken and thin because of age, but he looks very strong, and a tall and strong young man who looks very simple and honest.

The old man's name was Xu Tian. He was carrying a basket on his back, and with the other hand, he was holding the young man beside him tightly, Xu Li.Now the temperature in the forest is getting lower and lower, and the blowing makes the skin cool, but Xu Tian is sweating profusely.

Of course he didn't want to spend the night on the mountain. As early as two hours ago, he was going to go down the mountain. However, for more than two hours, he and Xu Li have been wandering around in this forest, and they couldn't get out.The sun had set further and further to the west, but they walked closer and closer to the depths of the mountain forest. Before they knew it, they even lost the road under their feet.

Xu Tian swallowed his dry throat, and held Xu Li's hand tighter: "A Li, do you still remember the way?"

Xu Li was tall and strong, but his eyes were blank. Looking at him, he asked blankly, "Fourth Uncle, what way?"

Xu Tian was anxious in his heart, and rushed up furiously, but when he looked up and saw Xu Li's ignorant and silly face, he suppressed his anger again. He sighed, found a piece of cloth and tied their wrists together. Together, they said to Xu Li: "Hold on to Fourth Uncle, don't wander around."

Xu Li nodded obediently. He was standing at the front of Xu Tian's side, holding a medicine pick in the other hand halfway in front of him. His tall and strong physique made people feel safe, but what they met now was not What can be solved by mortals like secret vine beasts, but ghosts hit the wall.As an ordinary mortal, what else could they do?

Xu Tian took a deep breath, laid out a few stones on the ground, and erected a branch in the middle, looked at the direction of the shadow, and made a rough calculation.He stood up, made up his mind, and dragged Xu Li through the forest with difficulty.

He can't just do nothing.Waiting to die is the worst option.

I don't know how long we walked, but the light under the forest canopy became dimmer, and it gradually became difficult for ordinary people to see the surrounding situation clearly, and the thicker and thicker tree shadows seemed to become hideous.Xu Li suddenly pointed to a spot in the forest clearing and called him, "Fourth Uncle."

It was a small clearing in the forest, with several stones regularly placed on it, and a tree branch in the middle.That was exactly what Xu Tian used to determine the direction before.

"Yeah." He replied heavily, with a very ugly expression on his face.

He had already seen the pile.As he walked, the terrain of the trees nearby began to repeat. He couldn't fail to notice it. After noticing it, he glanced there and saw the thing he had placed before.

Xu Tian just didn't say it.Xu Li was insane and didn't know how to be afraid, so he couldn't make up his mind at all. Even if he told Xu Li, it would only increase his panic.

The sky under the forest was getting darker and darker, and it was about to be completely dark.The cold evening wind blew across his skin, and Xu Tian shivered. His stomach was empty and tight, and the muscles on his body were sore and stiff, but he still had to drive them to move. He could not be trapped here, let alone take Trapped here to death with Xu Li.But he really needed to rest for a while, not to mention it was getting dark.

Xu Tian stopped to catch his breath, and said, "Get ready, spend the night here."

The forest at night is impassable.If the garrison is not cleared out while the sky is still bright, the night will be even more difficult.

Xu Li responded with a simple answer, and when he was about to turn his head to pack his things, he suddenly saw a light in the corner of his eyes.

"Fourth uncle, what is that?"

Xu Tian looked over and saw some warm yellow lights lit in the distance, and several thin blue smoke covered the dark sky.That is……

"There is a village!" Xu Tian said pleasantly, but immediately felt a little uneasy and suspicious.

He has been chopping firewood and hunting in this mountain forest since he was young. For so many years, he has never heard of other villages nearby.But... after being lost for so long, the nearby mountains and forests are no longer familiar to him.

The pain of wandering in the forest for a long time gave birth to too much hope, but in a blink of an eye, a little hesitation was suppressed.It would be best not to spend the night in the forest, at worst, take a look carefully...

Xu Tian made up his mind, pulled Xu Li and said, "Let's go and have a look."

The closer the two walked to the village, seeing the outline of the village, they were about to leave the forest, and Xu Tian felt more relaxed, as long as he could leave the forest.

In the last twilight of the sunset, a soft wind suddenly blows through the mountains and forests. This wind makes people feel refreshed, and even the dark forest seems to be much brighter.

Xu Tian felt Xu Li who was leading him stop suddenly, and said to him, "Fourth Uncle, there is someone."

Xu Tian's heart trembled, and he looked over.

In the forest beside them, a figure was standing under a tree, walking slowly towards this side.

There was the shadow of the man under the tree, and the sound of footsteps stepping on the broken branches and fallen leaves was also very clear.Xu Tian's heart relaxed a little, but he still pulled Xu Li vigilantly.

After just looking at him, the man came out from under the tree. He was a young man in dark green robes with a qin on his back. He had an extraordinary appearance.

How could such a person appear in this remote forest?Could it be some mountain spirit and wild charm?Was the previous ghost hitting the wall related to him?

Xu Tian became more and more vigilant: "This... sir, why did you appear here? Could it be that you lost your way?"

"Lost?" The man shook his head with a smile, and pointed out, "Isn't the road right there?"

Xu Tian looked in the direction of the man's finger, and saw a small path hidden under the shade of trees not far away, which seemed to be the path they had taken up the mountain before.

Xu Li was insane: "Fourth Uncle, we found the way!" He was about to walk on the road happily.

Xu Tian grabbed the foolish boy, turned his head and said to the newly appeared Mr. Qin Carrying, "Since Mr.'s way is over there, please go first. It's getting late, and we have to go back to the village."

He deliberately pointed towards the village over there, vaguely implying that he was from that village.Xu Tian didn't really want to enter that village, he did all this just to avoid walking with this sudden person.They were hit by ghosts on the wall before, and they walked back and forth countless times, but they couldn't find the original road. Now, as soon as the gentleman carrying the piano appeared, that road appeared together. Who knows whether that road is real or not? ?Where will it lead them?

Xu Tian was praying and wishing to part with the gentleman who was carrying the piano, but he saw him looking at the village not far away, and said with a smile: "That's right, it's getting late, it's better to stay in this village for one night, why not go together?"

Xu Tian had no choice but to follow along to the village.

The village looked not far away, but when they reached the entrance of the village, it was completely dark, and many households were lit with lights, and a dim warm yellow light shone through the window paper.

Xu Tian felt faintly uneasy, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. He stared carefully at the gentleman next to him carrying the piano, but saw that he looked very peaceful. He had already walked to the door of a house and began to knock on the door for the night.

It was a family that seemed to be in good condition. The house occupied a large area, with at least five rooms.After dark, the village was so quiet that dripping water could be heard. The gentleman who was carrying the piano knocked on the old wooden door with his fingers.

After the knock on the door, there was a voice of inquiry from the door. After hearing that they were going to stay overnight, the door opened a gap, and a person looked at them from the gap.

Xu Tian listened to the conversation between Mr. Qin and the owner, and the more he listened, the more frightened he became. The Mr. who carried the piano said that the three of them wanted to stay overnight, as if he knew that they were not from this village.And the owner who opened the door... Now only half of his face is exposed through the crack of the door, but he does look like an ordinary farmer, and there is nothing wrong with it.

The owner of the house had no expression on his face and looked very indifferent, but after turning his head to look at them, he opened the door and invited them into the house.

The inside of the house is just an ordinary earthen wall, and a lamp is placed on the rough wooden table, shining a dim yellow light.The dim light was like a layer of hazy fog, making the whole room appear hazy.

"There's nothing to entertain, let's drink some water." The owner found out a few bowls, scooped up water and handed them to them.His movements were a little slow, as if he was tired.There's nothing wrong with that, peasants, few of them are refreshed after a day's work.

Xu Tian observed very carefully and carefully, but he didn't notice that two completely different worlds were reflected in the eyes of the Mr. who carried the piano.

One is dimly lit, the farmhouse is rough, and the owner with hands that have been working all year round is holding a thick bowl of clean water, while the other... the house collapsed, filled with gloom, and the water in the rough bowl is cloudy and black .

The lights were like illusions, fascinating the eyes of the world. Li Chi took the bowl from the owner of the house, and then passed it to Xu Tian and Xu Li who were farther away.After the bowl of black and dirty liquid passed through his hands, the reflection was all clean and clear water.

But under the illusion, Xu Tian didn't realize it.He took the bowl, but didn't drink it, not because he noticed anything, nor because he disliked the simplicity.These days, it is not easy to receive a bowl of water. If it hadn't been for the heavy rain a few days ago, which washed away all the saltiness and bitterness in the water, even a bowl of water would be hard to come by.

Xu Tian didn't drink it, just out of caution.He was still worried, and was about to hint to remind Xu Li not to drink it, but he saw that the silly boy drank it up in one gulp as if he was extremely thirsty after taking the bowl.

Xu Tian: ...

This silly boy!He stared at the past, Xu Li saw it but didn't understand why, and smiled at him twice, saying: "Fourth uncle, sweet."

Xu Tian felt powerless and waved his hand.

The owner over there didn't seem to have noticed the lawsuit, raised his arm and slowly pointed to the two rooms on the side, Sui and the others said: "You can sleep in these two rooms tonight."

Xu Tian hurriedly put down the bowl, thanked the owner, and dragged Xu Li into one of the rooms.

After closing the door, Xu Tian breathed a sigh of relief in the room where only he and Xu Li lived. Sitting on the kang, his tense nerves relaxed little by little.Looking at Xu Li again, he was completely unaware of all this, he just felt hungry and was rummaging through his back basket for dry food.

Seeing him like this, Xu Tian couldn't help but get angry, and shouted in a low voice: "I just know how to eat! Put everything in my mouth!"

Xu Li was ignorant and didn't know how to be angry, so he smiled at him and handed him the dry food he had just found: "Fourth Uncle, eat."

Seeing him like this, Xu Tian lost his anger again, and sighed sadly: "You... oh! Why don't you know how to be afraid? Why do you believe in everything and eat everything! Can you import it casually? Look at this Where are they? What's the situation this trip?"

First it was the ghost hitting the wall, and then the sudden appearance of Mr. Strange. Now the village doesn't know what's going on.Are all kinds of monsters and goblins less in the state of Liang?How can you survive without being careful?

Seeing Xu Li's ignorant look, Xu Tian sighed, "Why am I telling you this?"

He took the dry food and took a few bites indiscriminately, then found a small cloth bag from the basket, and opened it carefully.Inside is a small stove and a few rough incense sticks.

Xu Li set up the censer, lit the incense, and bowed devoutly for a few times, chanting words.What he said was to ask all the nearby gods and ghosts to enjoy the incense, don't make things difficult for them, if they can go back safely, they must offer more offerings.After all these readings are finished, the incense is inserted into the stove.

The gray smoke drifted upwards, and the smell of incense had already dispersed in the room, and it was about to drift out of the room.

Meanwhile, in another room.

Li Chi had already seen what happened in that room, he shook his head: "It's too messy."

With a flick of his sleeves, the room of Xu Tian and Xu Tian was enveloped by invisible divine power. The power was as light and invisible as the wind, and did not cause any movement. It just blocked the incense that had just drifted away in the room, and there was no breath. leak out.

In this kind of place, random sacrifices without any direction may not necessarily attract anything.If it's unlucky, it may even attract groups of ghosts and spirits.But after offering sacrifices, he promised to go back for the grand sacrifice.If his sacrifice cannot satisfy the attracted spirits, he is likely to be entangled, and it is difficult to end well.

However, from Xu Tian's attitude, he also saw the problem on Liang Guo's side.

Lu Guoduo believes in the gods of the gods and often makes offerings. If he encounters strange people and strange things when he is trapped in the wild, although he is vigilant in his heart, it is easier to think and believe that this is the guidance of the gods.Xu Tian's reaction was more of fear and guard. He didn't seem to have thought about it at all, and he didn't believe that there would be gods to help when he was in danger.When he was in a dangerous situation and had no other way, he chose to use the incense that he carried with him, in a way similar to asking for peace, to seek peace.

This is the most effective way of his years of experience.

The weak have no one to rely on, and they don't even believe that they can get mercy by praying, so they can only pick out all the useful places from themselves in order to survive.

As the night darkened, the dew condensed.

The tired two people next door have already fallen asleep, and the god who occasionally came here sits and waits.

The village is silent, not to mention birds and beasts, not even the chirping of insects, only the lights of each house are quietly on.

The lights of one house went out suddenly, and its door opened silently.A few villagers came out, their footsteps were smooth and silent, and after everyone came out, the door closed silently behind them.

The lights of one house after another were extinguished, and one after another villagers came out of the room, leaving only the light of the moon and stars.Under the moonlight, the expressionless faces of the villagers were illuminated.

……

Xu Tian suddenly woke up.

He didn't know why he woke up suddenly, he didn't even know when he fell asleep.

He originally wanted to endure tonight, but he was too tired. He had been lost in the mountains for several hours, and encountered strange things like ghosts hitting the wall. He was exhausted physically and mentally.

After Xu Tian woke up, he only felt a strange silence, just like the wet and cool silence when he was playing with water when he was a child and dived to the bottom of the stream.It wasn't until he noticed the even and steady breathing around him that he gradually confirmed that he was really awake.He turned his head and looked, Xu Lizheng was sleeping soundly.

The chill of the night made him more and more awake as he lay down, so he simply sat up.

Too quiet.

Except for Xu Li's breathing, there was no other sound.

Xu Tian wrapped up his clothes and walked to the window.

For some reason, he felt weird and uneasy in this silence, and this hazy feeling urged him, making him walk to the window with fear and anxiety, and look out from a gap in the broken window paper.

It was very dark outside, but after the eyes slowly adjusted, they could see the earth under the moonlight clearly.

Xu Tian slowly adapted to the dim light, and slowly saw the outside...outside...

His pupils suddenly tightened!

One after another villagers stood outside the house. They stood silently, motionless. The owner who had entertained them before also stood among them, looking at the house with the same expressionless expression as them.

Big drops of sweat ooze from Xu Tian's forehead, his whole body is cold and hard to move, the blood flow is getting slower and slower, which makes the beating of the heart become heavier and harder, as if it will stop soon.The dead silence almost engulfed him.

Squeak.

The sound of the door opening broke the eerie silence.The sound didn't come from outside the house, it came from the house.

Then, there was a burst of unhurried footsteps, walking from the inside to the outside of the house.The steady footsteps revived the heartbeat and warmed up the cold body again. When Xu Tian felt himself regain consciousness, the owner of the footsteps finally entered his field of vision.

Is that... the gentleman who plays the piano?

……

The god holding the piano walked out of the room safely, as if what he was facing was not a group of strange and silent living corpses, but a group of devout and confused believers.Under the gaze of a pair of lifeless eyes, he sat calmly with the piano on his knees.

The courtyard fell silent again, and the villagers stood still like strange statues, but their faces gradually became darker and darker, and their expressions became more ferocious.

Just as they were about to move, a long gust of wind suddenly blew past, and the sound was like a sigh.

The black and blue colors on the faces of the villagers suddenly faded a lot, and the grim expressions showed struggle and hardship.

The head of the house owner suddenly moved. He turned stiffly and slowly and walked away. All the villagers were looking at him. Their bodies did not move, only their necks turned as he walked.Their necks froze at that angle until much later, when the owner returned.

The owner of the house is holding a rough porcelain bowl with a broken rim in his hand, which contains a bowl of clean water.He walked up to the god and offered the bowl of clean water.

It was just an ordinary bowl of clean water, nothing special and precious, but it wasn't as poisonous as the three bowls of water that were entertaining them before.If it wasn't for his hand to remove the cold, the moment Xu Li drank the water, he would have fallen to the ground, frozen and unable to move, until he died slowly.

Li Chi took the bowl, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.

This is just an ordinary bowl of clean water, but it is rare to find such a bowl of clean water in such a village soaked in the poison of yin and cold and filled with the smell of corpses.

And he accepted the offering of the bowl of clean water.

Li Chi raised his hand, and the empty porcelain bowl flew flatly onto the stone beside him. When the sound of the porcelain bowl falling on the stone sounded, his fingers fell down again, pressed on the string, and just dialed the first note.

Its sound is broad and distant, both loose and deep, as if rising from the ground.The buzzing sound of a zither almost made people vibrate together with the ground, the soles of their feet were numb from the shock, and it went all the way to the top of their heads, so their scalps also became numb.A breath was shaken from the chest to the throat, and released from the mouth. After the turbid breath was released, he couldn't help but tremble.

The resentment and ferocity dissipated, and Qingming reappeared, and the expressions of the living corpses were no longer ferocious, but turned into mourning and misery.

But the body of the living corpse has long been frozen, and there are no tears to shed, only the sorrow swallowed down the throat and the sorrow clouded in the eyes.

The sound of the zither became thinner and longer, whispering like words, comforting and complaining.Joy, anger, sorrow, fear... All the seven emotions in the body are stirred up, and the heart is moved by emotion. It seems that flowing blood has finally regenerated in the cold and long-lived body of the living corpse.

The villagers sat down one by one, but the feeling of being alive again was always just an illusion.

They have been dead for too long, so long that the resentment born of pain and unwillingness has turned all the people who died in vain in the village into living corpses.

The coldness is painful, and the coldness lasts forever, and if the warm blood in this cold body starts to flow again, and the dry heart beats again, that is the moment of their decay.They are doomed to perpetuate this icy torment.

Resentment, resentment!After this cognition was clarified again, when the resentment created by the suffering was about to climb up the expressionless faces again, the final sound of the piano sounded long and long.

Its voice is broad and soft, like the wind rushing over every villager's body, and then scattered into the sky and the earth.The wind seems to be soothing, and all the uneven old things are known to heaven and earth, because the gods have seen them.As a result, all the bitterness and unwillingness were smoothed away by the wind and scattered into the world.

The faces of the living corpses became quiet and peaceful.In the final coda of the piano sound, their torsos quickly decayed, turning into a handful of clean ashes and scattered into the wind.There is only one skeleton sitting in the yard, which is not scary, but peaceful and relieved.

After the last lingering sound had dissipated, Li Chi got up holding the piano, and was about to go back to the house. When he turned around, his eyes glanced across a window where the window paper was broken intentionally or unintentionally.

Xu Tian froze there.

"Fourth Uncle?" Xu Li's voice sounded from behind him.

Xu Tian was startled by him, and turned to stare at him: "What are you doing?!"

Xu Li scratched his head and smiled innocently: "I'm awake."

Xu Tian took a deep breath and reached out to him: "Help me."

Xu Li sighed, and stretched out his hand to support Xu Li: "Fourth Uncle, what's wrong with your leg?"

"Squatting numb!" Xu Tian hummed.Either he froze from fright, or he just squatted for a long time.

"Fourth Uncle, why are you squatting there?" Xu Li asked.

"What nonsense?" Xu Tian glared at him again, enduring the itching of blood recirculation, and moved to the side of the kang to sit down bit by bit, his deeply wrinkled face looked old and tired, "Ah Li..."

Xu Li sighed.

Xu Tian didn't speak, he was entangled, and after a long time, he said slowly: "When it's dawn tomorrow, you should respect that gentleman who carries the piano, and beg him."

"Ah...ah?" Xu Li originally responded, but when he heard "begging", he was at a loss again, and looked at Xu Tian in a daze.Respecting him understands, but what do you ask for?

Seeing him like this, Xu Tian sighed: "Forget it, I will tell you tomorrow, you should respect that gentleman, and when you are told to kowtow, you kowtow. You are obedient, and if your illness is cured by then, Your mother won't cry anymore."

Xu Li didn't quite understand what fourth uncle wanted to do, and he didn't quite understand what was wrong with him, but he understood the last half of the sentence and nodded in response.

Xu Tian looked at him foolishly, and said again: "Go to sleep!"

Xu Li lay down obediently, and his breathing became long and slow after a while.Xu Tian couldn't fall asleep.

He is not paranoid and stupid, so he can understand the meaning of everything he just saw.

There is something wrong with this village, none of those villagers are alive!If it weren't for the Mr. Piqin that he met by chance before, he and Xu Li might die here tonight.

They... might have met a real fairy!

This cognition made Xu Tian a little confused and a little happy, but because he couldn't believe it, he couldn't give birth to greater joy.

True fairy.He only heard it in the legends when he was a child. They would listen to the wishes of all living beings and punish evil people with evil intentions. They would accept offerings from all living beings, but never force them to sacrifice. They would protect their believers instead of threatening them. intimidate……

Xu Tian used to yearn for such a fairy, but he has lived for nearly 50 years, but he has never seen one, so he gradually forgot about it.People will eventually learn that stories are always just stories.

But now, have they met the fairy in the legend?

Xu Tian blinked hard, and let out a long, slow breath.

He closed his eyes.There was still some time before dawn, and he could still sleep for a while.

After a while, Xu Tian opened his eyes again.

As soon as he closed his eyes, he thought of the group of bone skeletons sitting cross-legged outside the house. Although the gods had already dealt with it, who could fall asleep when there were a group of bones facing each other with empty eye sockets outside the house? !
