fight for day

The banquet started, but Lin Yue didn't move, her eyes were fixed on Ye Xu.

Bai Su really enjoyed eating, and Lu Zhou didn't have much appetite, so he asked Lin Yue in a low voice what kind of ceremony it was.

"According to the legend, the mermaids are descendants of the gods, and they need a pure girl to pray for his protection on behalf of the people, and call the sacrificer." Lin Yue's face was quite ugly, "The ancient people were feudal, and at that time the sacrificer was going to Shentang. , not anymore, just let the girl stay by the river for one night, doing so-called prayers."

The statue above the altar has been invited down, and Ye Xu sat on a sliding pole and was carried away by two men.

"No, I'm worried." Lin Yue said uneasy, she put down her chopsticks, "I have to go and have a look."

According to this, Lin Yue was going to stay with Ye Xu in the wild all night, how could Lu Zhou feel relieved and asked, "Will they let you accompany?"

This custom is quite weird, and Lu Zhou thinks it is unlikely.

Lin Yue said: "I know where it is, so I just watch from a distance, I can't leave her here...you guys go back first."

Lu Zhou frowned and said, "You wait first."

He talked to Bai Suzhen, and the latter said that there was no problem at all: "Yes, how can you throw the two girls out in the middle of the night? Let's stay with us and go back together tomorrow."

Lin Yue opened her mouth and said without evasion, "Okay, thank you in advance."

The place she said was not too far away, but Ye Xu would not be sent there until a little later. During this period, Lin Yue couldn't communicate with Ye Xu, and sat with a sad face.

Lu Zhou said softly: "Eat some food first, I still have some bread and fruit in the car, take it there at night, don't be hungry."

Lin Yue sighed, picked up the chopsticks and didn't take a few mouthfuls.

Soon the banquet was withdrawn, and this kind of rural banquet could not be held, so a few people stood by the car and watched the aunts busy.

There were not many people eating, there were only five tables. Lu Zhou saw the villagers quickly put away the round tables, carried them on their shoulders and walked slowly, with other things, such as generators, buckets, bowls and chopsticks...

Lu Zhou was puzzled, the orphanage was behind it, wouldn't it be more convenient to borrow some things directly there?Could it be said that these things can only be dedicated?

He asked Lin Yue, and the latter said: "Nursing students are quite special... In fact, in the deep mountains and old forests like ours, there are usually no orphanages, but the nursing students used to be in a private school, and the original teacher was very caring. Picked up a lot of orphans, and then slowly turned into an orphanage, Ye Xu was picked up."

Lin Yue clicked her tongue: "But. People here are quite shy of this orphanage - mainly because of superstition, they all think that an abandoned child is an ominous symbol. When I was a child, I still lived here. No one would like me to be near the orphanage, and Ye Xu only became acquainted with Ye Xu when she was in elementary school."

Lu Zhou snorted.

"The children here are afraid of strangers, and they usually don't leave the house." Lin Yue motioned him to look around, "Look, even if the banquet is placed at the door, they won't come out, they are all brought in."

Lu Zhou frowned and said, "About how many children are there?"

Lin Yue shook her head: "Who knows? I asked Ye Xu, and she said that the management is divided into age and gender, and she hasn't met all the other people."

This was a bit beyond Lu Zhou's expectation. He glanced at the slightly dilapidated small building, and thought that this management method was quite special.

Several people waited for a while, Lin Yue saw that the time was almost up, and they set off with some things.

The blade plunged into the stele, and the ground trembled. Ye Zhuming clenched the handle of the knife, turned it hard, and the blue stone stele shattered instantly.

The rocks fell with a clatter, and the ground collapsed rapidly, revealing a large hole half a foot wide.

It was on.

Ye Zhuming frowned, squatted down and looked around, it looked like a tunnel, and it was well repaired, the walls of the corridor were covered with blue bricks.

Ye Zhuming jumped down, there was a lot of space inside, and his height of 189 could stand up straight inside.

"Let's go separately?" Bama asked behind him.

Ye Zhuming shook his head: "I don't know if I will bump into Song Guanlan, but just follow me."

He looked at the tunnel again, and found that there were many bronze lamps occasionally hanging on the two walls, and the light source was emitted from them.

The bronze lamp seems to have been hung for a long time, the outer wall is full of rust, and the mouth of the cup is covered with layers of cobwebs. There is still more than half of the light-colored lamp oil in the cup, but a thick layer of dust has floated around the periphery.

Ye Zhuming looked at the lamp with a heavy sense of history, and suddenly said: "Do you remember the record about the Mausoleum of the First Emperor in "Historical Records": Use mermaid ointment as a candle, and the immortal will last for a long time."

Ba Ma nodded: "I remember, but this is not Lishan."

Ye Zhuming fiddled with the lamp wall, his fingertips were covered with ashes: "If it's not Lishan, can there be mermaids?"

Holding the knife in his hand, he chose a direction and slowly walked down the stairs.

This aisle seems to be an arch, with the stone tablet as the center and the two ends extending downward.After walking for about 10 minutes, a door appeared in front of Ye Zhuming.

It was not locked, Ye Zhuming easily pushed it open, and a bigger space appeared in front of him.

Outside the door is a ring-shaped mountain-step plank road, which is tightly attached to the mountain wall. The steps extend round and round, from big to small, all the way to the bottom.

This space is very large. Even though there are nearly a hundred steps on the outside, the area in the center is still larger than a football field.

Numerous mermaid candles are suspended in mid-air, illuminating the inside as bright as day, and you can clearly see the Wangtan water in the middle, the area is not small, above the pond water is a stone mill disc of equal size, and on the big mill disc, There are also countless small grinding discs. Looking down at first glance, it feels like countless gears are interlaced inside the machine.

The color of the pool water was very dark, and Ye Zhuming could smell a faint smell of blood in the air.

He looked down and was about to go down to find out, when he suddenly heard something else.

Without any hesitation, Ye Zhuming immediately took two steps back and lay down into the passage, while covering the door, Ba Ma quickly turned into a palm-sized sparrow, flapping its wings and landing on top of Ye Zhuming's head.

...Ye Zhuming raised his eyelids suspiciously.

The little sparrow didn't dare to make a sound, so it flew up and stood on the edge of the door.

Ye Zhuming looked down and saw that the stairs on the opposite side were humming and parting to the two sides, and a row of people in black robes came out one after another, all covered with big hoods.They all looked like ordinary people, but their faces were frighteningly white, and they still held iron chains in their hands, which looked like black impermanence.

Ye Zhuming closed his eyes lightly, his eyelashes fluttered slightly, and when he opened them again, his dark pupils turned into pure gold.

The smell of blood in the air became stronger, mixed with the strong breath of dead bodies, Ye Zhuming's face gradually became serious.

As the black-robed eccentric walked further and further away while dragging the chain, there was a faint sound of wheels rolling.

In a blink of an eye, a huge wooden cart was pulled out, with a large iron cage on it, filled with more than a dozen children, crowded together in one place.

These children are both male and female, and they are not very old. They should all be around ten years old. Their faces are dull, their eyes are dull, and they all seem to have lost their souls.

And there are three such wooden carts.

Ye Zhuming roughly counted, nearly fifty children.

Suddenly, he saw a familiar face in a corner—it was Li Yueshu who disappeared not long ago!

At this time, he completely lost the cunning and agile boyishness in the photo, and he was holding on to the railing blankly, his face was full of bewilderment.

The weird men in black robes put down their chains one after another, turned around and opened a car door, and pulled out a child.

His movements were extremely rough, as if he was holding a doll instead of a child, and the boy didn't seem to feel any discomfort, allowing the strange man in black to carry him to a millstone and take off his clothes.

Ba Ma didn't know what to think of, and whispered something.

Ye Zhuming's eyes were indifferent, and he watched quietly.

The little boy lay naked on the millstone, and the black-robed weirdo kept arranging his limbs, as if matching the patterns on the millstone.

His movements became more urgent, and the hood on his head suddenly fell off, revealing his head.

There was no hair on his head, but there was a face where the back of his head should have been, with slender eyes, a bloody mouth that reached to the earlobe, and a mouth full of sharp fangs.

This face highly overlaps with the picture sent by Pan Mu, it is Luo Sha Ling.

It seems that it was this kind of thing that caught Li Yueshu.

Ye Zhuming roughly estimated that there were nearly twenty Rakshasa spirits below, which happened to be the upper limit of Ye Zhuming's combat power.

Luo Cha Ling seemed to have finally found a suitable angle and stopped swinging.

At the same time, the deep pool began to bubble slowly, and the water gradually churned. Not much to say, a man with a beautiful face emerged from the water.

His upper body was naked, and his long wet hair was hanging loose. As he rose higher and higher, his lower body also leaked out...

It was a green fish tail!

Ye Zhuming frowned even more.

The green-tailed mermaid climbed onto the big millstone and slowly moved to the center of the millstone.

After he lay down, he raised his hand—or webbed claws, with long and sharp nails. The mermaid raised his hand expressionlessly, and stabbed the fish's tail hard!

The blue blood flowed out, extending along the lines on the millstone like life, and covered the millstone in an instant, emitting a faint blue light.

After the mermaid blood covered the millstone, it began to move up the connected pillars, and flowed precisely to the millstone where the little boy was lying.

When the lines on the small millstone were also filled with mermaid blood, Luo Shaling who was standing aside suddenly raised a knife, picked up one of the little boy's legs, and stabbed it hard at the base of the thigh!

Ye Zhuming stood up abruptly and slammed open the door. The silver knife appeared in his hand, and in the next second he threw it at Luo Chaling who raised the knife!

The blade whizzed away, easily piercing into Luo Chaling's chest, the impact directly brought it back a few steps, and fell off the disk.

Ye Zhuming raised his hand again, and the silver knife flew back spontaneously. With a full face, he held the knife to meet the Luo Chaling who rushed over!

He moved very fast, he raised his leg and kicked down two of them, the silver knife in his hand cut his throat, and then he got up and swung out, taking another head.The extremely high speed brought up an afterimage, Ye Zhuming raised the knife and dropped it, and Luo Chaling's screams filled the entire space.

Ba Ma's body became bigger, and he couldn't stop spinning when he opened his wings. The wings as hard as iron tore several Rakshalings.

Ye Zhuming stepped on a Rakshaling, pulled the knife out of his chest, and without any hesitation, threw it at the last escaping Rakshaling!

This time, the silver knife failed to complete its mission accurately. Halfway through the journey, it was changed by a huge external force, twisted and pierced into the distant stairs with a whistling sound!

The buzzing and trembling sound lingered for a long time, Ye Zhuming's face was terribly gloomy, and he looked at Song Guanlan who suddenly appeared on the opposite side.

It was still dressed in the robe, and the arm was raised slightly, still in the movement of striking the knife.

Song Guanlan's expression didn't look good, he stared at Ye Zhuming with a cruel smile on his face: "It's you again?"
