sunk in yesterday

Out of the corner of his eye, Meng Tianhua seemed to glance at them.

To be more precise, he glanced at the lantern pinned to Guan Yuzhou's waist, afraid of being discovered, and quickly looked away.

At this time last time, the villagers were busy putting out the fire outside the temple, and they were looking at the statue of the goddess in the hall.This time, Xia Zhuo forcibly sent the head back, and the main room will not go for the time being.The centipede came over and asked them if they were tired, and if they wanted to go back early to rest. After being rejected, they didn't have much emotional ups and downs. They took a stool and ran to the temple gate to sit absent-mindedly.

All the strange things before seemed to be illusions, but now the smoke on the three sticks of incense is straight up to the sky, without slowing down.

Xia Zhuo dozed off while waiting.He stared in a daze and leaned to the side, leaning on Guan Yuzhou's shoulder.

The man tugged at the collar for him to keep the cold air from getting in.

The surroundings were so quiet that time seemed to have stood still, until Xia Zhuo almost fell asleep with his legs limp, and San Daoyan suddenly bent over his waist as if someone blew his breath.At this moment, it was as if a sleeping program had been activated. The candle flame, which was still burning dutifully, jumped violently, as if it was struggling for the last breath. Li Da, who leans against the wall, is in charge.

"Old Li is not good! Something happened inside! Take a look, those incense candles..."

Centipede woke up with a start, kicked his feet and went straight to the temple.He took a closer look, and his soul was so frightened that he rose half of the sky again, "Quickly, go and invite Wang Gaoren, go quickly!"

The man scrambled and ran down the mountain, and when he ran to the high slope, he suddenly tripped over something, and the torch flew straight out, and he fell on his back. Looking back, I saw a piece of red silk floating in the mist on the ground.

When the wind picked up, a pair of embroidered shoes were exposed behind the silk and satin.Accompanied by the shoes, there was a burst of babbling and singing.The mist rolled on the soil slope, and a red figure appeared, as if standing in the clouds, and the gorgeous blood flowed down the slope. It was a color darker than the raging fire, and it reflected everything around it red.

call--

The torches went out.

Hearing the screams from such a distance, the centipede's face and calves trembled, and the villagers were in a mess again.

Soon the sound of the play was approaching, erratic, sometimes left and right.

When people were panicking, the figure of the villager who went to call for help appeared.Holding the extinguished torch high in his hand, stepping on the beat of the play, he walked towards the crowd mechanically and strangely.

Someone's eyes fell on the torch, and then turned to his lowered other hand, and suddenly he couldn't speak, "You, you, you! How did you tear the red silk!"

He approached from the darkness, from his legs to his waist, from his waist to his shoulders... Gradually his whole body appeared in the light.Several villagers wanted to get the silk in his hand, but before they got there, the head that was still on the neck, looking at the temple gate with a hollow gaze, fell to the ground without warning.If you look closely, the red silk is firmly stuck around his neck, like a ostentatious scarf.

The cold body twitched and fell, the fear in the eyes of the nearest group of people almost solidified, the screams were suppressed in their throats, and they could only pant heavily.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

The dark red blood was sprayed all over the ground like gorgeous blooming flowers.The lifeless corpse crawled towards the temple gate, as if it wanted to ask someone for help, but finally got stuck on the threshold and did not move.

I don't know who took a step back first, and moved a stone.

Immediately afterwards, the crowd seemed to have found a breakthrough and could no longer bear it.

"what--!!"

"Dead, dead!!!"

"It's Old Zhu from the village!! He, his head fell off!!!"

The mountain is already boiling, but the mountain is so quiet that everyone is dead.With a precedent, no one dared to run down rashly, the horrible scene has been deeply imprinted in the mind, some people vomited on the spot, and some peed their pants.

Heart-piercing howls struck like a bell, and reverberated in the courtyard of the temple, covered by fog, unable to float out.

"Don't be impulsive!" A dispute came from the corner beside.

The volume is not loud, it is deliberately lowered, and it is Shen Wei who can be heard without looking.

Meng Tianhua glanced at the messy outside, and then glanced at the incense stick without any trace, as if asking, is he really impulsive?

It has already reached this point, can it still be considered impulsive?

What you are doing nothing is sitting and waiting to die!

"It must be a problem with the candles. Didn't you hear what the aborigines said just now? He said to keep burning the incense sticks tonight! Last time the temple was burned down and the incense sticks were gone. This time it will go out again. The problem is not that Where else can it be here?" Meng Tianhua's voice sounded very confident, as if he was explaining the facts, deliberately trying to let Xia Zhuo and Guan Yuzhou, who looked like they had nothing to do with him not far away, hear it.

Shen Wei looked at Liu Qianyu as if asking for help.

indeed.

It does make sense.

"But..." Shen Wei wanted to say something more, but he was also a little shaken, especially because Guan Yuzhou had just mentioned the fact that the two candles burned at different speeds. It seemed that all they could do now was to save this candle.

"The candles are in their hands!" Meng Tianhua shook off his arm that was blocking him, pointed to Guan Yuzhou and said, "He obviously knows that there is a problem with the candle, and he still holds the props without using them. He didn't want everyone to die here Shen Wei, you found that hairpin before, so why did you put it in their hands? Look at them, they don't seem to be acting at all!"

Shen Wei told him he was dumbfounded.

What happened to this kid all of a sudden?Everyone acted together, and of course the items they found belonged to everyone, and it was everyone's consensus to hand them over to whom. How could it be as if they were being threatened when they came to Meng Tianhua?Whoever has the ability has the right to speak, isn't this justified?Whether it is reality or a dream, it is the same.

"Aren't you..." He wanted to ask, is it because you care about Xia Ming, but after he saw the appearance of the person in front of him, he couldn't help swallowing the words just as he started.

Meng Tianhua's eyes were staring, the veins on his forehead were tense, his chest heaved violently due to his agitation, his face was flushed red, and he looked like he wanted to eat people.

Liu Qianyu frowned. She knew the cause and effect, so she took it for granted, "They brought us here in the first place, and some things are not up to you to say. And it's too ugly to die. Wait for what happened tonight to pass. You have to apologize to them. They already have a very good temper, if you are as rude as those unreasonable people we met in the past, wouldn’t you be short of arms and legs by now?”

Unexpectedly, Meng Tianhua not only didn't listen to it, but he still couldn't let go of the first sentence, "It's because they played a role in the beginning, so you all feel that you should listen to them. Why? Keep going on like this and finally lead them into a pit." I can't even wake up!"

Liu Qianyu said: "Why do you still ask? Just because you are not as good as them!"

Meng Tianhua didn't say a word, but looked at her with a very gloomy look.

Liu Qianyu was startled, and couldn't help but look away.

She turned her head and saw that the temple gate shrouded in mist was like a cloud of black ink, and Guan Qiang and Xia Ming were standing casually in the cloud of ink, the masks on their faces were dancing flames Against the chaotic light.They were not so distracted at all, Xia Ming whispered something, Guan Qiang actually walked towards the severed body, and pulled out the blood-stained silk, as naturally as walking in his own home.

With just a quick glance, the cold feeling clinging to his back could not disappear for a long time.

"I advise you not to mess with them." It was Zhao Xiaomeng who interrupted.

The candle that had burned to the height of only two fingers seemed to be stimulated by some kind of flame, and the flames were constantly chirping.

Liu Qianyu called her: "Sister Zhao...?"

"I just remembered it not too long ago. There was a person mentioned on the forum... At first I thought it wasn't him, because in the description he was casual and gloomy." Zhao Xiaomeng suddenly felt lucky that she gave up approaching at the beginning, "But even if you don't Speaking of him, you should have heard of 'Little Sheep' and 'Red Rose'."

Having said that, Shen Wei suddenly remembered.

He looked at Xia Ming again, "...Xia Ming is 'Little Sheep'?"

But isn't "Little Sheep" a very young boy in the rumor?

"I don't know." Zhao Xiaomeng shook her head, and she paused, "That's all I have to say, you... weigh yourself. Of course, don't worry too much. People who have met them say that they still have principles. There is a big difference in the hegemony of killing."

The few people fell silent, even if Zhao Xiaomeng's words were just speculation, it was enough to make Liu Qianyu afraid for a while.But these days they got along fairly well, she looked at Meng Tianhua, and persuaded him a few words, telling him to apologize properly.

Meng Tianhua breathed a sigh of relief, bowed his head and remained silent.Just when Shen Wei and Liu Qianyu thought he wanted to understand, he suddenly slammed the person in front of him away, stumbled and rushed out, with extreme words in his words: "I found the problem, I will definitely prove it to you watch!"

Shen Wei staggered and turned pale with shock, "What are you doing?!"

Xia Zhuo folded her arms, and when she heard the sound of running, she couldn't help but twitch her lips.

Guan Yuzhou was facing the door, still holding the red silk in his hand, and an inconspicuous bloodstain was printed on the ground, extending from the door to his feet.

Meng Tianhua ran extremely fast, as if something was chasing him behind him, a gust of wind arose as soon as he got up.The wind came suddenly, and blew out the candle closest to him that was about to bottom out.

The centipede, who was still anxiously guarding the altar and waiting for old man Wang to come, suddenly changed his face, and he had the heart to swallow people alive.Which is more important, life or money?of course!Of course it is fate!No matter how honorable these guests are, they can't make fun of it. Is it the candle that went out?It is his life that is clearly destroyed!

At the same time, the participants heard very soft and rather odd sounds.

The misty play stopped suddenly, and the strange sound seemed to be right next to my ears.

It was like the sound of a rusted bearing being forcibly bent with great force.

"squeak--"

The closed main room door was twisted into a distorted shape like a twist, revealing a large black hole, and the bottom corner of the pale goddess statue could be faintly seen inside.

Centipede Face wanted to yell at him, but his pupils gradually narrowed. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a pair of hands resting on his shoulders, and a few rotten nails touched the collarbone. There was a bloody mouth.

Those hands had a strange texture. I don't know how long they had been soaked in water. The fingers that were swollen like mallets had long since lost their original form, and there was still a strange layer of bruise on them.Cloudy and yellowish pus continued to slip from under the tight skin, and bursts of stench invaded the nasal cavity.

The centipede's face softened, and he passed out for the third time.

Meng Tianhua didn't care about him, he was so timid, he was suddenly caught by something, and he stretched out his hand to snatch Guan Yuzhou's lantern.

Shen Wei was so frightened by his action that he almost went to heaven on the spot - the excitement was no less than when he hit a ghost.

But seeing that Xia Zhuo and Guan Yuzhou were not obstructed, it seemed that they had been prepared and had been waiting for this moment.

His eyelids twitched, and he hurried forward.

Meng Tianhua tore up the lantern, took out the softly glowing white candle inside, and replaced the extinguished candle.

The three twisted cigarettes dangled, and suddenly returned to straightness, and even the other sizzling candle opposite it became calm.

Meng Tianhua showed joy. He looked at Shen Wei who had already walked behind him, and tried his best to prove himself: "Shen Wei, look, what I said is right? I have thought of this method for a long time. As expected, as long as you put This candle will restore everything to calm. I just wanted to try it, but I didn’t expect it to be successful, Qianyu, come over and see—”

Shen Wei hesitated to speak, he still remembered the appearance of those two just now.

Very strange.

But can't tell.

The outside of the temple has been shrouded in fear, and only the fainted centipede face remains in the courtyard, and no aborigine wants to stay there anymore.The surroundings were quiet again, except for the disgusting bloody smell that was still emitting from the corpse, it seemed that this night would really pass so peacefully.

Shen Wei couldn't open his mouth for a long time, but Xia Zhuo looked at the face of the centipede lying unconscious on the ground, and said very unhappy: "This is a good way to escape reality, why don't you just scare him to death? It also saves you from divorcing your wife , just wait for Mrs. Li Sun to remarry."

Hearing his words, Meng Tianhua looked over accurately, and his voice was much more confident than before: "You occupy the candle but don't use it, don't you know that you will release that female ghost after it is extinguished?"

Xia Zhuo's voice came out from under the mask, a little distorted, but still loose, "I don't know."

Meng Tianhua choked, and wanted to say something, Shen Wei had already stretched out his hand to hold his shoulder, and his knuckles were slightly buckled inward, causing moderate pain.

"you……"

"Don't talk about it yet." Shen Wei let go of his hand, with a complicated expression on his face.

The surrounding fog gradually dissipated.

This seems to mean that this dream is about to reach its end, and then it only needs to wait patiently for twelve o'clock.

After ten minutes, nothing abnormal happened again.Before everyone breathed a sigh of relief, the next second, deep fear exploded directly in the bottom of their hearts, and their blood vessels seemed to be full of ice stubble.

"Ah-"

Behind a mist that hadn't completely disappeared, a thin figure appeared.

When they heard the sound, they could only see a picture of a villager's head tilted and two eyeballs flying out of their sockets.

Before this person died, he didn't even see who killed him, his brains splashed out, dripping down the face of the person next to him.

Liu Zijin was holding a brick, half of his arm was spattered with scalding blood.A gust of evil wind blew from nowhere, and his sleeves fluttered with the wind. He seemed like a ghost who had just crawled out of hell. His black and white eyes turned red, and they were no longer as cold as they were when they first met.

Some young villagers did not recognize him, and there were a few older ones whose eyes were filled with horror and disbelief.

Someone pointed at him tremblingly, but before the name was finished, Liu Zijin had already appeared behind him.

One by one the torches fell to the ground, some of them were extinguished by the blood all over the ground, and the rest burned up on the dry plants.

Xia Zhuo took a step back, and whispered to Guan Yuzhou, "You guessed it right, as expected that candle will attract him."

After the original candle is extinguished, Mrs. Liu will come out to slaughter the village.

But replacing the candles in the lantern, although Liu Shi was suppressed, it would make Liu Zijin show up and start a killing spree.

Both directions are dead ends.

In a short time, Liu Zijin killed everyone outside the temple.Reflecting the raging flames, his corpse stepped on the threshold and walked into the temple.

Meng Tianhua was so arrogant just now, now he is so timid, he can only watch helplessly as the blood-soaked aborigines walk towards him step by step.There was still blood flowing down that brick, and every drop was like a death scythe waving in the air. Without even thinking about it, he pulled Shen Wei with his last strength and hid behind his companion.

"laugh."

Xia Zhuo smiled unreservedly.

However, Liu Zijin just bent down, lifted the face of the centipede on the ground and knocked his head off.Then he dragged the body and left along the same road.

sand……

sand……

The sound of dragging was gradually drowned out in the sound of crackling and burning flames.

Liu Qianyu rushed up quickly, and lifted Meng Tianhua's hand that was holding Shen Wei tightly, "Are you crazy!"

She knew that Meng Tianhua was timid, but she didn't know that he was someone who would push others out at the critical moment of life and death.

Meng Tianhua still couldn't recover, he rubbed the back of his red hand in a daze, rolled his throat, and still looked at the incense candle that was still burning steadily, "It shouldn't be, there can be nothing wrong..."

"Let's go." Xia Zhuo stepped on the blood on the ground, pulled Guan Yuzhou's head and did not go back outside the temple gate, "If you don't leave, you can't get out."

The fire outside the temple was exactly the same as last time.They changed something, and it seemed like nothing had changed.

It was as if the dream was telling them bluntly that they were doing futile work.What should happen will still happen, no matter how you stop it, the deviated track will be reset.

Including a bright yellow sky overhead.

The village below the mountain was on fire again.

But the villagers were all dead, and the corpses were piled on top of each other, and no one could shout a word of warning any more.

Oh no.

Xia Zhuo thought about it, but there is still a difference.

Thanks to their candle, the crowd in the village was extinguished faster.

Shen Wei was originally devastated and looked shocked.But when he came out and saw the familiar hell scene, he panicked and shouted: "No, Kong Man is still in the village!"

"You don't have to worry about him." Xia Zhuo walked slowly towards the edge of the cliff.

The level of danger in this dream is not high, and the aborigines have no intention of attacking them.

Why?Because the seven of them don't belong to Tuping Village, aren't they within the scope of the couple's revenge?

In this case, the danger of this dream seems to exist only in time.

Meng Tianhua, who was refused to approach, finally couldn't bear it anymore. He picked up the broken pieces of the lantern, tried to put it back together, and apologized to Shen Wei and the others in a panic.

Liu Qianyu didn't intend to forgive him at all, and avoided him like a plague god.Once the trust has collapsed, there is no possibility of saving it. This is a well-known truth. Maybe after this time, they will not have to act together next time.

It was Shen Wei who caught up, and said sorry to Xia Zhuo and the others a few times for offending them before, but they really didn't mean to contradict.

Xia Zhuo waved his hand casually, he aimed at people but not at groups, and then corrected Shen Weiqi's initial evaluation of them, "Teacher Guan and I have never been good people."

It has been said that the good or bad of a person is never written on his face, and his principle is to retaliate, and he will repay it twice or three times to a higher place.A gentleman uses his mouth but not his hands, but he wants to use his mouth and hands.

"So your eyesight is not very accurate."

He meant something, not only to himself, but also to the stern-faced person behind him.

Shen Wei had no refutation, and was silent for a moment, "You are right."

"It's okay, I won't be angry with him anymore." Xia Zhuo smiled at him, with a sly look in his eyes, "On the other hand, he helped us and tried a wrong path. Uh... I can still give him a six-point mark for his performance, which is a pass. Teacher Guan and I doubted whether he had the guts at first, but it turns out that he is only afraid of ghosts, but not people."

"...Do you know where Kong Man went?" Shen Wei changed the topic as if he didn't want to talk about Meng Tianhua.

"I don't know." Xia Zhuo said it as a matter of course, "It's just that he is better than you, so you don't need to worry about it."

"..." It's really sad to say it again.

This time the fire started later, before the cliff edge, the familiar feeling of dizziness swept over everyone again.

The first time is raw and the second time is familiar, Xia Zhuo knows in his heart that the time will be reset again.

Sure enough, after the white light in front of them faded, they returned to the dirt road outside the village.

The setting sun behind him turned a strange red, like blood spreading all over the ground, spreading to Tuping Village not far away.

All seven of them were there, and they seemed to be immune to the fire. Except for Meng Tianhua, the others were not as flustered as last time.

Kong Man was covered in sweat, and his clothes were burned with holes. He looked at Guan Yuzhou and Xia Zhuo, as if he wanted to say something.

But before that, the light meter refreshed the information.

Tips:

1. Day and night alternation

2. Moderate supplies

3. If there is a god, please listen to his wish (New)

(The prompt will disappear after 10s)

his wish...

This "he"...

It turns out that the protagonist of this dream is not Mrs. Liu.

Xia Zhuo looked at Meng Tianhua, who was sitting on the ground trembling, stretched out a hand, and slowly put it on the other's shoulder, showing a harmless smile, "This time you are a great hero. It's your turn to pull la~"
