【Barrage:!Why are you going to the temple all of a sudden? 】
[Danmaku: No way, it seems that if they don't work, the whole village will be flooded by the water from the east, but it's too dangerous to cross the river directly...]
[Danmaku: Yes, instead of crossing the river rashly at this time, it is better to go to the Temple of the River and collect all the information. 】
[Barrage: This progress is too tense!This is the level that even Chairman Tian Qiu would find it a bit difficult to handle, but the opposite six-pointed star is too tight, so it has to be like this. 】
Obviously, Tian Qiu, who did not raise any objections in the picture, thought the same way.
Her expression was a little dignified, but when Yu Yue looked over, she changed into a rather relaxed expression.She bent down and carried the large box on her back.
"Don't worry, benefactor, your decision is very correct, I will protect you." Tian Qiu vowed.
Yu Yue nodded, then shook his head: "If you encounter danger, run away. I will move with you."
As he said that, he was about to step forward to receive the box that was pressed against Tian Qiu's body.
Tian Qiu shook his head desperately, dodged lightly, and signaled that he was very strong and didn't need his help.
"Let's go." The little dragon king grabbed the little girl's shoulder impatiently, turned around and left with the little girl.
Yu Yue and Tian Qiu had no choice but to follow quickly.
The road under your feet has become more wet and soft, and stepping on it is as creepy as stepping on human skin tissue.
Along the way, the group encountered many villagers.These originally warm and hospitable people now showed fear and hurried home.After they saw the direction of the group of people, their expressions became more exaggerated, as if they had seen a ghost.
This is not like the attitude you should have when you see outsiders worshiping the river god.
How much are the people in this small town afraid of the river god?
Could it be that they haven't been to this river temple for a long time?
Yu Yue and Tian Qiu looked at each other, knowing that there must be a mystery behind this.
"Woo." From the front, came the voice of the little girl who couldn't help sobbing, but obediently inhaled.
The little girl was only a tiny bit old, crying and wiping her eyes with the sleeves of her cotton clothes, while staggering and speeding up her pace to keep up with the little dragon king who was striding forward.
Maybe she was too sad, didn't pay attention to her step, and suddenly stepped on a deep hole.Hearing her scream, the whole person rushed forward.
A hand suddenly grabbed her arm and pulled her back.
Yu Yue let go of his hand and said in a low voice, "Be careful!"
The little girl hurriedly stood still, touched her eyes again, looked up at Yu Yue nervously, and whispered, "Thank you brother."
Very nice.
[Barrage: Good boy! 】
[Barrage: Standing with my little brother, it's really good! 】
Seeing her like this, Yu Yue couldn't bear it for some reason, and asked her softly, "What's your name? Where are your parents?"
His voice was very soft, and he deliberately slowed down his pace, but the little dragon king who was leading the way ahead still heard these words.
The young man with dark skin and thin skin turned his head and gave Yu Yue a cold look, then stared at the little girl and paused, "Answer brother well."
The little girl choked for a moment when she cried. She opened her eyes and thought for a long time before answering Yu Yue in a low voice: "My father and mother like the river god very much. They asked me to serve the river god well. They said that the river god Hiccup will also like me very much."
Yu Yue: "..."
Tian Qiu: "..."
This too standard answer made both of them fall into silence.
Just as Yu Yue was about to speak, he felt a movement in front of him, and looked down, and it turned out that Zai Zai, who had been sleeping obediently all day, woke up.Zai Zai shook his head from side to side, as if shaking his head, looking very tired.
"What's wrong?" Yu Yue couldn't understand it, and asked in a low voice while covering it.
Zai Zai scratched Yu Yue's palm with his small wings, but said nothing.
Tian Qiu on the side noticed his movements, and also poked his head to take a look, and smiled: "Look at this very energetic appearance, he should be fine."
Seeing that Tian Qiu still remembered this matter, Yu Yue thanked him in a low voice.
Zai Zai's spirit is indeed much better than when he just saw that sentence, but he always feels that Zai Zai has not fully recovered and is not as lively as before, so he squeezed Zai Zai's little hand and rubbed it. Zai Zai coaxed him back into his pocket to sleep.
After doing these actions, he raised his head and said to the little girl, "Don't be afraid."
There is the little dragon king teaching the little girl to give standard answers in front, and there will be no clues if she continues to ask, but it will make the little girl even more nervous.Instead of that, it's better to comfort her first.
The little girl nodded silently, and the four of them fell silent again.
It was always quick to bury their heads on the road. It didn't take long for them to arrive at the foot of the mountain, and then walked up the mountain road in silence.
The little dragon king walked in the front, the little girl walked in the middle, and Yu Yue and Tian Qiu walked in the rear.
At this time, the sky had gradually darkened, and there was a damp and cold mist in the mountains and forests, making ghosts appear everywhere.
Even if there were four big living people walking together, Yu Yue and Tian Qiu also felt depressed at the same time.But the little dragon king who was leading the way in front seemed to be more energetic, and his steps were faster.The little girl following behind the little dragon king almost had to run to keep up with the young man.
This is too strange, Tian Qiu turned his head and mouthed silently to Yu Yue: "Be careful."
Suddenly, the little dragon king in front stopped abruptly.
Hearing a "wow", he stretched out his arms and brushed aside the overgrown branches.
Then, step aside, Yin Cece said: "Here we are."
So caught off guard, the River God Temple suddenly appeared in front of several people.
Seeing his eyes clearly, Yu Yue gasped uncontrollably.
——When I was at the bottom of the mountain at first, I saw that the building still had the shadow of some temples, but now, it looks like a temple worshiped by people?It was clearly just a dusty palace-shaped earthen house.
The rules of the earthen house are strange, with a main hall and two side rooms.At this time, the gate of the main hall was open, and there was an indistinct painting hanging on the hall. exceptionally clean.
The cold wind blew in like this, until the painting shook slightly as if it was alive, as if beckoning people to come in.
It doesn't feel sacred for a while, but it makes people feel gloomy.
Tian Qiu stretched out his hand, lightly stopped Yu Yue, and asked, "Little Dragon King...Brother, how long has anyone been here?"
The little dragon king looked back at the two of them. For some reason, his eyes were particularly dark: "What are you talking about? People come here all the time. Every year when the harvest is approaching, we will come in at a fixed time to worship God. You Look, there are all offerings over there."
As he spoke, he pointed to the corner of the hall, and sure enough, he saw several boxes of offerings.
[Barrage: Just here?What are you doing here?Let's put something down and see if the house has collapsed? 】
[Barrage: Hahahaha the god of the river is really miserable. 】
[Barrage: Hush, whisper, listen. 】
there's noise.
Outside the Heshen Temple, both Yu Yue and Tian Qiu heard very slight "tick" and "tick" sounds.Say far or not, say near or not.
Looking towards the source of the sound...
Both of them stared at each other.
It is a desk.
Some liquid was dripping down from behind the desk.
Yu Yue stared blankly. At this moment, his eyesight suddenly became very good, as if he could see the dark red stain under the desk. The dark red stain continued to enlarge and turned into a distorted figure—— Big head and small body.
He shook his head desperately to shake this terrifying figure out of his mind, but just as he turned his head, he found that Tian Qiu, the little girl and the little dragon king all turned around, looking at him with a very strange smile, and slowly Slowly approach him.
"pat".
With an exceptionally clear sound, a drop of cold and sticky liquid dripped from the air, Yu Yue's head felt cold, and he jumped up suddenly, turned around and was about to run.
"It's just the dew on the leaves. Don't panic, calm down!" At this moment, a hand held him, and a familiar voice said, "Listen to me, I am, speaking, talking. Don't listen to other voices .”
Tian Qiu's soothing voice immediately caught Yu Yue's attention.
The scene in front of him gradually blurred, and the expressions of those "partners" with weird smiles slowly returned to normal.
After a while, Yu Yue looked at Ueda Qiu worriedly.
"Okay, wake up," Tian Qiu said with a sigh of relief, "You are very sensitive, so be careful in this kind of place."
"I don't think so," the Little Dragon King looked at Yu Yue and said, "How many people want to see the God of the River appear but have not had the chance yet!"
Yu Yue was still immersed in the scene just now. At this time, he raised his head and touched the top of his head, and looked up again. The veins of a leaf above his head were facing him, unable to bear the weight of the dewdrops falling down. Sure enough, the wet drop just now was dew.
Looking into the Heshen Temple again, the desk was just an ordinary wooden table again.
Yu Yue slowly relaxed his tense body, realizing that he was affected by the sound of dripping water behind the desk and had a terrible hallucination.
Seeing his eyes, the Little Dragon King smiled again: "However—the Lord River God is extremely powerful, it's normal for the little brother to be afraid."
"Is it normal?" Tian Qiu stared at the little dragon king and asked, "I seemed to see a dead person just now, did someone die inside?"
Little Dragon King's expression froze.
Yu Yue was almost frightened too, but fortunately he saw Tian Qiu blinking desperately, and could distinguish Tian Qiu's exclusive expression when he entered the scene, and immediately realized that Tian Qiu was deceiving the little dragon king.
Only then did his complexion turn for the better.
[Barrage: Akita dog, don't scare my little brother, he's running the train with his mouth full again. 】
[Barrage: Hahahaha, their customs clearance ideas are too different. 】
"How is it possible?" Little Dragon King twitched his lips and replied coldly, "Even if the person disappeared, he was taken away by the River God, or he angered the River God and said that he is dead. .”
[Barrage: Damn! ! ! 】
[Barrage: This information point! 】
In the picture, Yu Yue and Tian Qiu were stunned at the same time.
Listening to this explanation, it can't be that someone has really died!
Tian Qiu gave Yu Yue a look, signaling him to take it easy.
Yu Yue remembered that Tian Qiuben had said that the Heshen Temple was a very dangerous place, so he was prepared in his heart and calmed down soon.
"Okay, let's go in then." He took a step forward.
Unexpectedly, the little dragon king stepped aside and shook his head: "Go in. I'll wait for you outside."
This was very strange, Yu Yue couldn't help asking: "Aren't you going in?"
"I won't go in." The Little Dragon King confirmed with a smile.On his dark face, a pair of eyes shone with a strange light, "My younger brother was sent as a sacrifice to the river god a few years ago. Only I can go up this hill. Without my guide, everyone else will be lost in the fog." , anyone who wants to worship the river god has to come and invite me. Do you understand? Let’s just put it this way, I don’t know if the river god is in a good mood today. Up the mountain."
From what I said, it seems that a few people can be guided by him for free, which is already a huge advantage, so don't let him go on an adventure with him again.
The younger brother was sacrificed to the river god as a gift, and the older brother became the little dragon king. This fact is intriguing.
[Barrage: This A-level book does not seem to have a big map, and each character has a lot of information. 】
[Banmaku: That's not it... At least it depends on what the Dragon King said. He doesn't seem to think there is anything wrong with his brother being a sacrifice. 】
Tian Qiu was silent for a while, and nodded after a while: "Understood. Then do we have to go in together? It is dangerous to provoke the river god or be favored by the river god. If the river god takes a fancy to us Hey, what if you don't like this little girl?"
"You have a pretty good idea," the Little Dragon King looked at Tian Qiu in the pink rabbit suit with a disdainful smile on his lips, "Don't say that the River God won't just fall in love with outsiders, even if he does, then why not?" Is it not your luck? I don’t care if you two or one go in, anyway, the River God will definitely look down on you.”
Tian Qiu: "..."
Yu Yue: "..."
That's what I said. [Barrage: Hahahahaha! 】
[Bullet screen: It's rare to see Le Ziren being deflated, let me laugh for a while. 】
The scene was embarrassing, Yu Yue thought of what the little boy said before, that all the sacrifices would be sent here to be selected, he was blessed for a moment, and changed the subject and asked: "Then your brother has also been here?"
Hearing this, a surprised look flashed across the Little Dragon King's face, and he sized Yu Yue up and down.
Ever since his younger brother became a sacrifice to the river god, everyone in the village was afraid of him, and few people were willing to talk to him, let alone ask about his younger brother.When Yu Yue asked, the Little Dragon King remembered that it was the boss of the boat who proposed "going to the Temple of the River" before.
Maybe it was because no one had talked to him about his brother for a long time, or maybe it was because no one had talked to him for a long time, which made him feel novel, but he actually answered Yu Yue.
After a long while, he said, "You know a lot. But I think you only know superficially—people in the village only know that it is best to let the sacrifices spend the night in the temple before delivering the sacrifices, but they don't understand that is Why. I have always guessed that the soul of the river god will come to communicate with the sacrifice that night, and only the sacrifice that suits his wishes can survive the process of crossing the river... As for what happened to my brother, I don’t know. I don’t want to say so much to a foreigner. Come in quickly, I’ll be waiting for you here.”
What he said made the little girl standing behind them even more frightened, and she shrank into her cotton coat.
But it's useless to be afraid, the little dragon king is standing here, he must watch them go in.
"Okay, thank you for telling me this," Yu Yue turned to Tian Qiu and said, "I will go in with the little girl, please stay outside and wait."
Tian Qiu, who originally wanted Yu Yue to stay outside and wait, turned his eyes in surprise, and before he could ask, Yu Yue had already replied: "I know it's more dangerous inside, but...you must be safe, it's safer to go up and down the mountain .”
Tian Qiu immediately understood what Yu Yue meant.
Her ability is to change form, and the little dragon king said just now that only he can go up and down the mountain freely here, if the little dragon king refuses to take them away, she needs to change into the form of the little dragon king and try to leave here.
Otherwise, with Yu Yue alone, the chances of going down the mountain safely would be much smaller.
Tian Qiu pondered for a moment, did not object, but said: "Then you pay attention to safety. Call me if you need something."
[Barrage: What do you mean?Why did you let the little brother in? 】
[Barrage: Don't you understand?In case President Tian Qiu is KO'd by the River God, and the little dragon king runs away again, no one will be able to leave. Let Tian Qiu stay outside now. One is to ensure that at least one person survives, and the other is that the little brother runs away from inside. It is also convenient to come out for help. 】
[Danmaku: So that's the case, then I think the team arrangement is quite reasonable. 】
[Barrage: Shh, don't make noise, let's go in! 】
With a "creak" sound coming from the screen, Yu Yue finally pushed open the old door of the Heshen Temple and stepped in lightly.
The little girl followed behind him and walked in carefully.
The ground is full of muddy sand and gravel, and it hurts the soles of your feet when you step on it.Yu Yue gently stopped the little girl, looked around vigilantly, and slowly moved forward.
The moment he took the first step, the door behind him made a whining sound and quietly closed.
Having had a dungeon experience once, Yu Yue has gotten used to the automatic door closing mechanism of the dungeon, standing still and looking at the darkness around him, waiting for his eyes to adapt.
This time, the surroundings were silent, not even the breathing of the two of them could be heard.
can not hear?
Yu Yue's heart beat faster for no reason.
"Brother." Suddenly, the little girl's voice sounded strangely.
"..." Yu Yue looked in the direction of the voice, swallowed lightly, and answered her, "Well, what's wrong?"
"That painting is so strange." The little girl said again.
Then, Yu Yue felt that the arm in his hand was heavy. It was the little girl who grabbed his arm and led him to the depths of the hall.
It was clear that he still couldn't see clearly what was going on inside, how did the little girl see clearly in an instant?
Yu Yue knew that there was a problem, but he couldn't confirm it for a while, so he could only follow forward cautiously.
"Swish".
In the darkness, he couldn't see where he was going, and kicked a broken rope, which slid across the ground, making a screeching sound.
Yu Yue stopped suddenly, breaking out in cold sweat.
Wait a minute, there must be some clue that he didn't notice.
Yes, cut the rope.
When he was standing outside the River Temple, he saw broken ropes on the ground, and those ropes were gathered in front of the portrait—it looked like a child tied up by a rope was standing here, but the rope was bitten off, children also...
Yu Yue suddenly grabbed the arm of the little girl in front of him and took a big step back.
The moment he stepped back, a black figure that was darker than darkness flashed past his eyes, as if a large, slippery, sticky snake-like monster swam past him.
At that moment, Yu Yue's heart almost exploded, the sound of drums filled his ears, and a white light flashed in front of his eyes.
Even after experiencing it many times, he still couldn't be extremely calm and fearless in the dungeon environment.
But the speed at which he regained consciousness became faster, and even his potential was stimulated with fear, and he saw his surroundings dimly.
Cold sweat fell from his forehead all of a sudden.
In the darkness, the whole hall is the same as before, there are still chairs on all sides, desks and portraits in front, but at this moment, something like a snake's tail falls from the portrait, slowly rolling on the ground and wriggling , shining in the dark.
It kept swimming out of the painting, and its swimming range became wider and wider. From that route, it was surrounded by Yu Yue and the little girl in circles.
It was at this time that the little girl's cry reached Yu Yue's ears: "Brother, brother, what's wrong with you? Why did you drag me here? Do you want the river god to eat me?"
"Me? I pulled you here?" Yu Yue's heart sank.
"Yeah." The little girl nodded obediently.
It seems that everything I experienced just now was an illusion again.
From the little girl's point of view, maybe he dragged her in.But it is pointless to discern this now.
Yu Yue knelt down and coaxed the little girl in a low voice: "Don't be afraid, shhh, don't make a sound. If you don't make a sound, the River God won't eat you."
The little girl was as obedient as ever, and under Yu Yue's persuasion in a low voice, she sobbed and fell silent.
Yu Yue stood up alone, staring at the monster that was constantly entwining the two of them in the darkness and tightening its body.Except for a part of the monster's body in that painting, most of the monster's body is walking in the darkness.
Without a loophole, they couldn't have escaped around this monster.
Do you want to call Tian Qiu?
If he yelled at this time, he would not be able to find any clues, maybe he would anger the little dragon king, and maybe even bring Tian Qiu into danger.
Yu Yue took a deep breath and quietly took another step towards the painting, ready to see what was weird about it.
[Bullet screen: Shit, I dare not make a sound. 】
【Barrage: What kind of monster is this...】
[Bullet screen: I'm so courageous, I even went to the monster's lair! 】
In fact, Yu Yue was also very nervous, he hugged Zai Zai in front of him again.Zai Zai's state is also a little strange, he seems to be asleep again.
Strange to say, the monster that was swimming around him suddenly slowed down at this moment, as if it really didn't want to hurt the two of them anymore.
Yu Yue approached the painting step by step, and finally managed to see the outline clearly.
It was a strange-looking monster. Its upper body was still embedded in the painting, and its lower body swam out of the painting.It has eyes as big as copper bells, fangs, and a head that looks like a... small tiger, plus the snake tail that is still swimming outside.
Rather than saying that this is a monster, it is better to say that it looks like many monsters put together.
It's like...a child putting together all the horrors imaginable.
In the darkness, Yu Yue's eyes lit up, always feeling that he had grasped a certain key information.
In order to verify this conjecture, he walked up to the little girl, covered her eyes and said, "Don't look."
"Is it very, very big and scary?" The little girl timidly asked.
With her voice, the monster in the darkness suddenly expanded several times.
Yu Yue's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly lowered his voice and said, "No, no, it's very beautiful, not scary at all. It's the most beautiful in the world, just like..."
In the middle of his speech, he couldn't think of the best look, so he got stuck.
In the darkness, however, the little girl let out an unexpected "ah" and asked, "Are you like Mom and Dad?"
Yu Yue: "..."
Unexpectedly, the child's imagination is so rich, Yu Yue raised his head to look at the painting, and couldn't help but gasped.
I saw that the image on the screen, which was just a tiger-headed tiger-brained green-faced fangs, had turned into two headless men, who looked like a man and a woman, with their hands clasped together.
And those snake tails around the two of them suddenly became light and fluffy, like soft red satin.
The Heshen Temple, which was still eerie just now, instantly became like a newlywed's boudoir.
What happened here?
Yu Yue was stunned.
However, the thick snake tail in front of him turned into soft silk and satin, which suddenly improved his vision, and then he saw clearly that there was a bronze mirror embedded in the desk below the scroll, facing the two of them.
At first glance, it looks like a sparkling eye.
Yu Yue realized more sensitively that this should be a key prop.
Beside her, the little girl also noticed Yu Yue's gaze, she poked her head over to look, and her dirty round face was reflected in the bronze mirror.
"what……"
Yu Yue was stunned and suddenly lowered his head.
In her arms, Zai Zai, who was still asleep just now, woke up!At this time, its body glowed with a faint warm light. There was no doubt that the hoarse and melancholy voice just now came from Zai Zai's body.
Is this the sound from Zai Zai's body, but he hasn't touched its body at all?
Wait...you can hear it.
Yu Yue changed his mind, and immediately thought that Zai Zai had evolved and could hear the strong voice of the main body from a distance.
If so, then what he heard was the voice of Zai Zai's body in the distance.
Yu Yue slowly opened his eyes wide.
Doesn't this mean that there is also Zai Zai's body in this dungeon, and Zai Zai's body...is not a vampire?
For some reason, the story in the book of Genesis ran before his eyes again. He remembered the process of Zaizai being "abandoned", and suddenly realized that there are many possibilities for Zaizai's body.
He was thinking about it in shock, but he heard that beautiful and somewhat dejected voice say: "Oh...it's a child again."
Yu Yue: "!"
What does it mean to be a child again?
Did it really eat many children before this?
All of a sudden, Yu Yue couldn't even breathe well, he picked up Zai Zai and asked in a low voice, "Your... eat children?"
In the darkness, the glowing Zai Zai paused.
Yu Yue's heart sank.
Just when he was about to start thinking about what to do, he saw Zai Zai's two straight arms drooping heavily!
Then, it made loud "whoop" and "hum" sounds, its chubby body turned like a rattle drum, and its arms swung back and forth—it looked like it had been greatly wronged.
The next second, with Yu Yue's low cry, Zai Zai broke free from his grasp, jumped onto the only clean spot on the ground and began to roll.
That movement seemed to be physically saying——
Why do you say I eat children!
So wronged!It is really wronged.
[Barrage: ... What happened to this pet? ! !Why did you start to roll around in the land of the River God? 】
[Barrage: I don't know what the little brother said to it, it seems that it is so wronged that it is rolling. 】
【Barrage:……】
In the picture, Yu Yue didn't expect Zai Zai's reaction to be so intense, so he jumped in shock.
He was more anxious than anyone else, fearing that Zai Zai would be hurt by unknown monsters in the dark, he hurried up and bent down to pick up Zai Zai who was struggling constantly, and coaxed in a low voice: "Okay, okay, don't eat, don't eat."
His gentle voice soothed Zai Zai.Zai Zai gradually calmed down in his arms.
Yu Yue breathed a sigh of relief.
The live viewers let out a sigh of relief.
【Barrage:! ! ! 】
[Barrage: Help!look up!Look up! 】
[Barrage: You are being targeted! 】
[Barrage: Don't be caught up, woo woo woo. 】
【Barrage:? ? ? 】
In the picture, Yu Yue gradually felt a chill all over his body, and finally sensed something, and his body froze.
He raised his head slowly, but saw the figure of him hugging Zai Zai reflected in the bronze mirror in front of him, and his heart sank suddenly.
I don't know if it was his illusion, but the angle of the bronze mirror changed slightly, as if that eye was slowly seeing him from head to toe.
With a condescending scrutiny, that gaze finally lingered on his legs for a long time - it was so weird, which made Yu Yue feel nervous and uncomfortable.
He moved his legs and found himself numb.
The next moment, he heard that somewhat melancholy voice again.
"This one……"
"This looks good."
"Don't give me... a child any more."
[Danmaku: No way, it seems that if they don't work, the whole village will be flooded by the water from the east, but it's too dangerous to cross the river directly...]
[Danmaku: Yes, instead of crossing the river rashly at this time, it is better to go to the Temple of the River and collect all the information. 】
[Barrage: This progress is too tense!This is the level that even Chairman Tian Qiu would find it a bit difficult to handle, but the opposite six-pointed star is too tight, so it has to be like this. 】
Obviously, Tian Qiu, who did not raise any objections in the picture, thought the same way.
Her expression was a little dignified, but when Yu Yue looked over, she changed into a rather relaxed expression.She bent down and carried the large box on her back.
"Don't worry, benefactor, your decision is very correct, I will protect you." Tian Qiu vowed.
Yu Yue nodded, then shook his head: "If you encounter danger, run away. I will move with you."
As he said that, he was about to step forward to receive the box that was pressed against Tian Qiu's body.
Tian Qiu shook his head desperately, dodged lightly, and signaled that he was very strong and didn't need his help.
"Let's go." The little dragon king grabbed the little girl's shoulder impatiently, turned around and left with the little girl.
Yu Yue and Tian Qiu had no choice but to follow quickly.
The road under your feet has become more wet and soft, and stepping on it is as creepy as stepping on human skin tissue.
Along the way, the group encountered many villagers.These originally warm and hospitable people now showed fear and hurried home.After they saw the direction of the group of people, their expressions became more exaggerated, as if they had seen a ghost.
This is not like the attitude you should have when you see outsiders worshiping the river god.
How much are the people in this small town afraid of the river god?
Could it be that they haven't been to this river temple for a long time?
Yu Yue and Tian Qiu looked at each other, knowing that there must be a mystery behind this.
"Woo." From the front, came the voice of the little girl who couldn't help sobbing, but obediently inhaled.
The little girl was only a tiny bit old, crying and wiping her eyes with the sleeves of her cotton clothes, while staggering and speeding up her pace to keep up with the little dragon king who was striding forward.
Maybe she was too sad, didn't pay attention to her step, and suddenly stepped on a deep hole.Hearing her scream, the whole person rushed forward.
A hand suddenly grabbed her arm and pulled her back.
Yu Yue let go of his hand and said in a low voice, "Be careful!"
The little girl hurriedly stood still, touched her eyes again, looked up at Yu Yue nervously, and whispered, "Thank you brother."
Very nice.
[Barrage: Good boy! 】
[Barrage: Standing with my little brother, it's really good! 】
Seeing her like this, Yu Yue couldn't bear it for some reason, and asked her softly, "What's your name? Where are your parents?"
His voice was very soft, and he deliberately slowed down his pace, but the little dragon king who was leading the way ahead still heard these words.
The young man with dark skin and thin skin turned his head and gave Yu Yue a cold look, then stared at the little girl and paused, "Answer brother well."
The little girl choked for a moment when she cried. She opened her eyes and thought for a long time before answering Yu Yue in a low voice: "My father and mother like the river god very much. They asked me to serve the river god well. They said that the river god Hiccup will also like me very much."
Yu Yue: "..."
Tian Qiu: "..."
This too standard answer made both of them fall into silence.
Just as Yu Yue was about to speak, he felt a movement in front of him, and looked down, and it turned out that Zai Zai, who had been sleeping obediently all day, woke up.Zai Zai shook his head from side to side, as if shaking his head, looking very tired.
"What's wrong?" Yu Yue couldn't understand it, and asked in a low voice while covering it.
Zai Zai scratched Yu Yue's palm with his small wings, but said nothing.
Tian Qiu on the side noticed his movements, and also poked his head to take a look, and smiled: "Look at this very energetic appearance, he should be fine."
Seeing that Tian Qiu still remembered this matter, Yu Yue thanked him in a low voice.
Zai Zai's spirit is indeed much better than when he just saw that sentence, but he always feels that Zai Zai has not fully recovered and is not as lively as before, so he squeezed Zai Zai's little hand and rubbed it. Zai Zai coaxed him back into his pocket to sleep.
After doing these actions, he raised his head and said to the little girl, "Don't be afraid."
There is the little dragon king teaching the little girl to give standard answers in front, and there will be no clues if she continues to ask, but it will make the little girl even more nervous.Instead of that, it's better to comfort her first.
The little girl nodded silently, and the four of them fell silent again.
It was always quick to bury their heads on the road. It didn't take long for them to arrive at the foot of the mountain, and then walked up the mountain road in silence.
The little dragon king walked in the front, the little girl walked in the middle, and Yu Yue and Tian Qiu walked in the rear.
At this time, the sky had gradually darkened, and there was a damp and cold mist in the mountains and forests, making ghosts appear everywhere.
Even if there were four big living people walking together, Yu Yue and Tian Qiu also felt depressed at the same time.But the little dragon king who was leading the way in front seemed to be more energetic, and his steps were faster.The little girl following behind the little dragon king almost had to run to keep up with the young man.
This is too strange, Tian Qiu turned his head and mouthed silently to Yu Yue: "Be careful."
Suddenly, the little dragon king in front stopped abruptly.
Hearing a "wow", he stretched out his arms and brushed aside the overgrown branches.
Then, step aside, Yin Cece said: "Here we are."
So caught off guard, the River God Temple suddenly appeared in front of several people.
Seeing his eyes clearly, Yu Yue gasped uncontrollably.
——When I was at the bottom of the mountain at first, I saw that the building still had the shadow of some temples, but now, it looks like a temple worshiped by people?It was clearly just a dusty palace-shaped earthen house.
The rules of the earthen house are strange, with a main hall and two side rooms.At this time, the gate of the main hall was open, and there was an indistinct painting hanging on the hall. exceptionally clean.
The cold wind blew in like this, until the painting shook slightly as if it was alive, as if beckoning people to come in.
It doesn't feel sacred for a while, but it makes people feel gloomy.
Tian Qiu stretched out his hand, lightly stopped Yu Yue, and asked, "Little Dragon King...Brother, how long has anyone been here?"
The little dragon king looked back at the two of them. For some reason, his eyes were particularly dark: "What are you talking about? People come here all the time. Every year when the harvest is approaching, we will come in at a fixed time to worship God. You Look, there are all offerings over there."
As he spoke, he pointed to the corner of the hall, and sure enough, he saw several boxes of offerings.
[Barrage: Just here?What are you doing here?Let's put something down and see if the house has collapsed? 】
[Barrage: Hahahaha the god of the river is really miserable. 】
[Barrage: Hush, whisper, listen. 】
there's noise.
Outside the Heshen Temple, both Yu Yue and Tian Qiu heard very slight "tick" and "tick" sounds.Say far or not, say near or not.
Looking towards the source of the sound...
Both of them stared at each other.
It is a desk.
Some liquid was dripping down from behind the desk.
Yu Yue stared blankly. At this moment, his eyesight suddenly became very good, as if he could see the dark red stain under the desk. The dark red stain continued to enlarge and turned into a distorted figure—— Big head and small body.
He shook his head desperately to shake this terrifying figure out of his mind, but just as he turned his head, he found that Tian Qiu, the little girl and the little dragon king all turned around, looking at him with a very strange smile, and slowly Slowly approach him.
"pat".
With an exceptionally clear sound, a drop of cold and sticky liquid dripped from the air, Yu Yue's head felt cold, and he jumped up suddenly, turned around and was about to run.
"It's just the dew on the leaves. Don't panic, calm down!" At this moment, a hand held him, and a familiar voice said, "Listen to me, I am, speaking, talking. Don't listen to other voices .”
Tian Qiu's soothing voice immediately caught Yu Yue's attention.
The scene in front of him gradually blurred, and the expressions of those "partners" with weird smiles slowly returned to normal.
After a while, Yu Yue looked at Ueda Qiu worriedly.
"Okay, wake up," Tian Qiu said with a sigh of relief, "You are very sensitive, so be careful in this kind of place."
"I don't think so," the Little Dragon King looked at Yu Yue and said, "How many people want to see the God of the River appear but have not had the chance yet!"
Yu Yue was still immersed in the scene just now. At this time, he raised his head and touched the top of his head, and looked up again. The veins of a leaf above his head were facing him, unable to bear the weight of the dewdrops falling down. Sure enough, the wet drop just now was dew.
Looking into the Heshen Temple again, the desk was just an ordinary wooden table again.
Yu Yue slowly relaxed his tense body, realizing that he was affected by the sound of dripping water behind the desk and had a terrible hallucination.
Seeing his eyes, the Little Dragon King smiled again: "However—the Lord River God is extremely powerful, it's normal for the little brother to be afraid."
"Is it normal?" Tian Qiu stared at the little dragon king and asked, "I seemed to see a dead person just now, did someone die inside?"
Little Dragon King's expression froze.
Yu Yue was almost frightened too, but fortunately he saw Tian Qiu blinking desperately, and could distinguish Tian Qiu's exclusive expression when he entered the scene, and immediately realized that Tian Qiu was deceiving the little dragon king.
Only then did his complexion turn for the better.
[Barrage: Akita dog, don't scare my little brother, he's running the train with his mouth full again. 】
[Barrage: Hahahaha, their customs clearance ideas are too different. 】
"How is it possible?" Little Dragon King twitched his lips and replied coldly, "Even if the person disappeared, he was taken away by the River God, or he angered the River God and said that he is dead. .”
[Barrage: Damn! ! ! 】
[Barrage: This information point! 】
In the picture, Yu Yue and Tian Qiu were stunned at the same time.
Listening to this explanation, it can't be that someone has really died!
Tian Qiu gave Yu Yue a look, signaling him to take it easy.
Yu Yue remembered that Tian Qiuben had said that the Heshen Temple was a very dangerous place, so he was prepared in his heart and calmed down soon.
"Okay, let's go in then." He took a step forward.
Unexpectedly, the little dragon king stepped aside and shook his head: "Go in. I'll wait for you outside."
This was very strange, Yu Yue couldn't help asking: "Aren't you going in?"
"I won't go in." The Little Dragon King confirmed with a smile.On his dark face, a pair of eyes shone with a strange light, "My younger brother was sent as a sacrifice to the river god a few years ago. Only I can go up this hill. Without my guide, everyone else will be lost in the fog." , anyone who wants to worship the river god has to come and invite me. Do you understand? Let’s just put it this way, I don’t know if the river god is in a good mood today. Up the mountain."
From what I said, it seems that a few people can be guided by him for free, which is already a huge advantage, so don't let him go on an adventure with him again.
The younger brother was sacrificed to the river god as a gift, and the older brother became the little dragon king. This fact is intriguing.
[Barrage: This A-level book does not seem to have a big map, and each character has a lot of information. 】
[Banmaku: That's not it... At least it depends on what the Dragon King said. He doesn't seem to think there is anything wrong with his brother being a sacrifice. 】
Tian Qiu was silent for a while, and nodded after a while: "Understood. Then do we have to go in together? It is dangerous to provoke the river god or be favored by the river god. If the river god takes a fancy to us Hey, what if you don't like this little girl?"
"You have a pretty good idea," the Little Dragon King looked at Tian Qiu in the pink rabbit suit with a disdainful smile on his lips, "Don't say that the River God won't just fall in love with outsiders, even if he does, then why not?" Is it not your luck? I don’t care if you two or one go in, anyway, the River God will definitely look down on you.”
Tian Qiu: "..."
Yu Yue: "..."
That's what I said. [Barrage: Hahahahaha! 】
[Bullet screen: It's rare to see Le Ziren being deflated, let me laugh for a while. 】
The scene was embarrassing, Yu Yue thought of what the little boy said before, that all the sacrifices would be sent here to be selected, he was blessed for a moment, and changed the subject and asked: "Then your brother has also been here?"
Hearing this, a surprised look flashed across the Little Dragon King's face, and he sized Yu Yue up and down.
Ever since his younger brother became a sacrifice to the river god, everyone in the village was afraid of him, and few people were willing to talk to him, let alone ask about his younger brother.When Yu Yue asked, the Little Dragon King remembered that it was the boss of the boat who proposed "going to the Temple of the River" before.
Maybe it was because no one had talked to him about his brother for a long time, or maybe it was because no one had talked to him for a long time, which made him feel novel, but he actually answered Yu Yue.
After a long while, he said, "You know a lot. But I think you only know superficially—people in the village only know that it is best to let the sacrifices spend the night in the temple before delivering the sacrifices, but they don't understand that is Why. I have always guessed that the soul of the river god will come to communicate with the sacrifice that night, and only the sacrifice that suits his wishes can survive the process of crossing the river... As for what happened to my brother, I don’t know. I don’t want to say so much to a foreigner. Come in quickly, I’ll be waiting for you here.”
What he said made the little girl standing behind them even more frightened, and she shrank into her cotton coat.
But it's useless to be afraid, the little dragon king is standing here, he must watch them go in.
"Okay, thank you for telling me this," Yu Yue turned to Tian Qiu and said, "I will go in with the little girl, please stay outside and wait."
Tian Qiu, who originally wanted Yu Yue to stay outside and wait, turned his eyes in surprise, and before he could ask, Yu Yue had already replied: "I know it's more dangerous inside, but...you must be safe, it's safer to go up and down the mountain .”
Tian Qiu immediately understood what Yu Yue meant.
Her ability is to change form, and the little dragon king said just now that only he can go up and down the mountain freely here, if the little dragon king refuses to take them away, she needs to change into the form of the little dragon king and try to leave here.
Otherwise, with Yu Yue alone, the chances of going down the mountain safely would be much smaller.
Tian Qiu pondered for a moment, did not object, but said: "Then you pay attention to safety. Call me if you need something."
[Barrage: What do you mean?Why did you let the little brother in? 】
[Barrage: Don't you understand?In case President Tian Qiu is KO'd by the River God, and the little dragon king runs away again, no one will be able to leave. Let Tian Qiu stay outside now. One is to ensure that at least one person survives, and the other is that the little brother runs away from inside. It is also convenient to come out for help. 】
[Danmaku: So that's the case, then I think the team arrangement is quite reasonable. 】
[Barrage: Shh, don't make noise, let's go in! 】
With a "creak" sound coming from the screen, Yu Yue finally pushed open the old door of the Heshen Temple and stepped in lightly.
The little girl followed behind him and walked in carefully.
The ground is full of muddy sand and gravel, and it hurts the soles of your feet when you step on it.Yu Yue gently stopped the little girl, looked around vigilantly, and slowly moved forward.
The moment he took the first step, the door behind him made a whining sound and quietly closed.
Having had a dungeon experience once, Yu Yue has gotten used to the automatic door closing mechanism of the dungeon, standing still and looking at the darkness around him, waiting for his eyes to adapt.
This time, the surroundings were silent, not even the breathing of the two of them could be heard.
can not hear?
Yu Yue's heart beat faster for no reason.
"Brother." Suddenly, the little girl's voice sounded strangely.
"..." Yu Yue looked in the direction of the voice, swallowed lightly, and answered her, "Well, what's wrong?"
"That painting is so strange." The little girl said again.
Then, Yu Yue felt that the arm in his hand was heavy. It was the little girl who grabbed his arm and led him to the depths of the hall.
It was clear that he still couldn't see clearly what was going on inside, how did the little girl see clearly in an instant?
Yu Yue knew that there was a problem, but he couldn't confirm it for a while, so he could only follow forward cautiously.
"Swish".
In the darkness, he couldn't see where he was going, and kicked a broken rope, which slid across the ground, making a screeching sound.
Yu Yue stopped suddenly, breaking out in cold sweat.
Wait a minute, there must be some clue that he didn't notice.
Yes, cut the rope.
When he was standing outside the River Temple, he saw broken ropes on the ground, and those ropes were gathered in front of the portrait—it looked like a child tied up by a rope was standing here, but the rope was bitten off, children also...
Yu Yue suddenly grabbed the arm of the little girl in front of him and took a big step back.
The moment he stepped back, a black figure that was darker than darkness flashed past his eyes, as if a large, slippery, sticky snake-like monster swam past him.
At that moment, Yu Yue's heart almost exploded, the sound of drums filled his ears, and a white light flashed in front of his eyes.
Even after experiencing it many times, he still couldn't be extremely calm and fearless in the dungeon environment.
But the speed at which he regained consciousness became faster, and even his potential was stimulated with fear, and he saw his surroundings dimly.
Cold sweat fell from his forehead all of a sudden.
In the darkness, the whole hall is the same as before, there are still chairs on all sides, desks and portraits in front, but at this moment, something like a snake's tail falls from the portrait, slowly rolling on the ground and wriggling , shining in the dark.
It kept swimming out of the painting, and its swimming range became wider and wider. From that route, it was surrounded by Yu Yue and the little girl in circles.
It was at this time that the little girl's cry reached Yu Yue's ears: "Brother, brother, what's wrong with you? Why did you drag me here? Do you want the river god to eat me?"
"Me? I pulled you here?" Yu Yue's heart sank.
"Yeah." The little girl nodded obediently.
It seems that everything I experienced just now was an illusion again.
From the little girl's point of view, maybe he dragged her in.But it is pointless to discern this now.
Yu Yue knelt down and coaxed the little girl in a low voice: "Don't be afraid, shhh, don't make a sound. If you don't make a sound, the River God won't eat you."
The little girl was as obedient as ever, and under Yu Yue's persuasion in a low voice, she sobbed and fell silent.
Yu Yue stood up alone, staring at the monster that was constantly entwining the two of them in the darkness and tightening its body.Except for a part of the monster's body in that painting, most of the monster's body is walking in the darkness.
Without a loophole, they couldn't have escaped around this monster.
Do you want to call Tian Qiu?
If he yelled at this time, he would not be able to find any clues, maybe he would anger the little dragon king, and maybe even bring Tian Qiu into danger.
Yu Yue took a deep breath and quietly took another step towards the painting, ready to see what was weird about it.
[Bullet screen: Shit, I dare not make a sound. 】
【Barrage: What kind of monster is this...】
[Bullet screen: I'm so courageous, I even went to the monster's lair! 】
In fact, Yu Yue was also very nervous, he hugged Zai Zai in front of him again.Zai Zai's state is also a little strange, he seems to be asleep again.
Strange to say, the monster that was swimming around him suddenly slowed down at this moment, as if it really didn't want to hurt the two of them anymore.
Yu Yue approached the painting step by step, and finally managed to see the outline clearly.
It was a strange-looking monster. Its upper body was still embedded in the painting, and its lower body swam out of the painting.It has eyes as big as copper bells, fangs, and a head that looks like a... small tiger, plus the snake tail that is still swimming outside.
Rather than saying that this is a monster, it is better to say that it looks like many monsters put together.
It's like...a child putting together all the horrors imaginable.
In the darkness, Yu Yue's eyes lit up, always feeling that he had grasped a certain key information.
In order to verify this conjecture, he walked up to the little girl, covered her eyes and said, "Don't look."
"Is it very, very big and scary?" The little girl timidly asked.
With her voice, the monster in the darkness suddenly expanded several times.
Yu Yue's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly lowered his voice and said, "No, no, it's very beautiful, not scary at all. It's the most beautiful in the world, just like..."
In the middle of his speech, he couldn't think of the best look, so he got stuck.
In the darkness, however, the little girl let out an unexpected "ah" and asked, "Are you like Mom and Dad?"
Yu Yue: "..."
Unexpectedly, the child's imagination is so rich, Yu Yue raised his head to look at the painting, and couldn't help but gasped.
I saw that the image on the screen, which was just a tiger-headed tiger-brained green-faced fangs, had turned into two headless men, who looked like a man and a woman, with their hands clasped together.
And those snake tails around the two of them suddenly became light and fluffy, like soft red satin.
The Heshen Temple, which was still eerie just now, instantly became like a newlywed's boudoir.
What happened here?
Yu Yue was stunned.
However, the thick snake tail in front of him turned into soft silk and satin, which suddenly improved his vision, and then he saw clearly that there was a bronze mirror embedded in the desk below the scroll, facing the two of them.
At first glance, it looks like a sparkling eye.
Yu Yue realized more sensitively that this should be a key prop.
Beside her, the little girl also noticed Yu Yue's gaze, she poked her head over to look, and her dirty round face was reflected in the bronze mirror.
"what……"
Yu Yue was stunned and suddenly lowered his head.
In her arms, Zai Zai, who was still asleep just now, woke up!At this time, its body glowed with a faint warm light. There was no doubt that the hoarse and melancholy voice just now came from Zai Zai's body.
Is this the sound from Zai Zai's body, but he hasn't touched its body at all?
Wait...you can hear it.
Yu Yue changed his mind, and immediately thought that Zai Zai had evolved and could hear the strong voice of the main body from a distance.
If so, then what he heard was the voice of Zai Zai's body in the distance.
Yu Yue slowly opened his eyes wide.
Doesn't this mean that there is also Zai Zai's body in this dungeon, and Zai Zai's body...is not a vampire?
For some reason, the story in the book of Genesis ran before his eyes again. He remembered the process of Zaizai being "abandoned", and suddenly realized that there are many possibilities for Zaizai's body.
He was thinking about it in shock, but he heard that beautiful and somewhat dejected voice say: "Oh...it's a child again."
Yu Yue: "!"
What does it mean to be a child again?
Did it really eat many children before this?
All of a sudden, Yu Yue couldn't even breathe well, he picked up Zai Zai and asked in a low voice, "Your... eat children?"
In the darkness, the glowing Zai Zai paused.
Yu Yue's heart sank.
Just when he was about to start thinking about what to do, he saw Zai Zai's two straight arms drooping heavily!
Then, it made loud "whoop" and "hum" sounds, its chubby body turned like a rattle drum, and its arms swung back and forth—it looked like it had been greatly wronged.
The next second, with Yu Yue's low cry, Zai Zai broke free from his grasp, jumped onto the only clean spot on the ground and began to roll.
That movement seemed to be physically saying——
Why do you say I eat children!
So wronged!It is really wronged.
[Barrage: ... What happened to this pet? ! !Why did you start to roll around in the land of the River God? 】
[Barrage: I don't know what the little brother said to it, it seems that it is so wronged that it is rolling. 】
【Barrage:……】
In the picture, Yu Yue didn't expect Zai Zai's reaction to be so intense, so he jumped in shock.
He was more anxious than anyone else, fearing that Zai Zai would be hurt by unknown monsters in the dark, he hurried up and bent down to pick up Zai Zai who was struggling constantly, and coaxed in a low voice: "Okay, okay, don't eat, don't eat."
His gentle voice soothed Zai Zai.Zai Zai gradually calmed down in his arms.
Yu Yue breathed a sigh of relief.
The live viewers let out a sigh of relief.
【Barrage:! ! ! 】
[Barrage: Help!look up!Look up! 】
[Barrage: You are being targeted! 】
[Barrage: Don't be caught up, woo woo woo. 】
【Barrage:? ? ? 】
In the picture, Yu Yue gradually felt a chill all over his body, and finally sensed something, and his body froze.
He raised his head slowly, but saw the figure of him hugging Zai Zai reflected in the bronze mirror in front of him, and his heart sank suddenly.
I don't know if it was his illusion, but the angle of the bronze mirror changed slightly, as if that eye was slowly seeing him from head to toe.
With a condescending scrutiny, that gaze finally lingered on his legs for a long time - it was so weird, which made Yu Yue feel nervous and uncomfortable.
He moved his legs and found himself numb.
The next moment, he heard that somewhat melancholy voice again.
"This one……"
"This looks good."
"Don't give me... a child any more."
