I was wrong, I was really wrong!

"I said, I might be sick." Qi Shan paused, and Jia Qian could have heard him, so he let go and said, "I've had sex dreams for more than half a month. In the dream, I had sex with a man. I can't remember what he looked like, I forget it when I wake up, but it must be a man."

"Then you want to tell me, this man's name is Qingyu?" Jia Qian tilted his head and spoke with a constipated expression on his face. "Are you sure this isn't your plan to come out with me? Today you told me that you had a strange disease and kept dreaming about the same person. Another day you brought a man named Qingyu back and told me, bro , this is fate!"

"...Jia Qian, your brain is too big, I admire you."

The room was quiet for a long time, and Jia Qian felt that the air was about to stagnate, and finally couldn't help it, "Qi Shan, let me ask you one last time, what's going on? I believe everything you say, but you can't lie to me! "

Qi Shan resisted the urge to swear, and repeated the erotic dreams he had had for more than half a month.Then, there was a longer silence.

"It doesn't make sense, aren't you straight?" Jia Qian scratched his chin, a little distressed, "Could it be that you are actually curvy, but you didn't realize it?"

"Then how do you explain the name Qingyu? Besides, how could it be possible to have the same dream for more than half a month?" Jia Qian's guess was quickly overturned by Qi Shan mercilessly.

"Could it be bewitched? My mother said that the two strange illnesses you had when you were a child were bewitched, and those unclean things would love to find you." Jia Qian began to guess again, and the more he guessed, the more vigorous he became, "Could it be a man? Ghost, I fell in love with you, so I look for you every night..."

"Fart! There are no ghosts in this world!" Qi Shan finally couldn't help hearing his unreliable guess, and his lips began to tremble when he spoke.

Jia Qian quickly reassured him, "Don't worry, I'll just say that, I know you're afraid of that stuff, so I won't say it, I won't say it." He said he didn't say it, but within a few seconds he was talking again. "But don't you really believe it? There is such a thing as ghosts. Those two times when you were a child were really scary..."

"Jia--Qian-- believe it or not, I'll kill you!" Qi Shan was furious, and Jia Qian knew that this wave of jokes had gone too far, so he turned around and ran away, "It's useless for you to kill me, when we go home, call Grandpa, go and ask for a talisman for you!"

After such a fuss, the matter about Chun! Meng was interrupted.Qi Shan began to be immersed in the question of whether there are ghosts in the world or not.

Qi Shan is afraid of ghosts, the kind of fear that puts one's life on the line.Probably because he fell ill twice when he was a child, or it could be said that it was the shadow left by evil spirits.Although he said he had no memory when others asked, in fact, Qi Shan still remembers the feeling of his body being dominated by someone else or another soul.It's a bit like in a dream, where the mind is clear but the body doesn't listen.Doing what he didn't want to do, talking what he didn't want to say, even the second time, he heard the voice of another soul.It was a woman with a sharp voice that made his eardrums ache. She said she wanted the man's life.

Qi Shan is terribly afraid of something, and will try to deny it, as if it doesn't exist.Just like this time, even though he already guessed the reason in his heart, what he said was "illness" instead of "bewitched".Although no one knew better than him, he was in the dark again.But he still had to try to deny it.

In Qi Shan's heart, the question of whether there is a ghost or not is far more important than the meaning of life and death.He spent most of the day thinking in his room without even eating breakfast.After he forced himself to come to the conclusion that there are no ghosts in the world, he realized that he was about to faint from hunger.

There are not many people in Nantang Town, or everyone is busy preparing sacrifices at home and doesn't go out very much.A group of students wandered around the town for two days, saw the appearance of the entire building complex, and went down to eat and drink with many people under the leadership of Qi Xu. They couldn't be more satisfied.

The only fly in the ointment is that Qi Shan had two consecutive nights of erotic dreams, and Jia Qian listened to him call her bed for two consecutive nights.On the afternoon of the sacrificial ceremony, the two of them each had dark circles under their eyes, looking at each other without words but tears.

In the past two days, other members of the Qi family came back one after another, headed by Qi Xu's parents, who expressed cordial and friendly concern for Qi Shan and the others.Qi Xu's cousins ​​are even closer to these peers, and within a day they form a group.

The sacrifices in Nantang Town are very lively. During the day, dragon and lion dances, juggling performances, and various food stalls are set up. You don’t need money to eat whatever you want, but you can’t waste it.In the evening, there will be a lantern festival along the coast of Nantang, guessing lantern riddles, setting off fireworks and lotus lanterns, which is not inferior to New Year's Eve at all.

It wasn't until after ten o'clock in the evening that the lantern festival dissipated.A group of college students had enough to eat and were tired from playing, they laughed and went back to the Qi family's ancestral house.

Before going to bed, Jia Qian stuffed himself with earplugs under the dark circles under his eyes, which he asked for from Qi Xu's cousin who just came back today, so he could sleep soundly.

But unexpectedly, Qi Shan didn't have that dream again tonight.Not long after falling asleep, even in his sleep, he clearly knew that someone was watching him.

"I'll tell you a secret," Qi Xu's voice suddenly sounded in the room, Qi Shan tried hard to open his eyes, but found that he couldn't do it at all, so he could only lie stiffly and continue to listen to Qi Xu's words, "Do you think Strange? It is clearly said to be a sacrificial ceremony, but there is actually no sacrificial ceremony arranged today."

Qi Shan wanted to nod, because he had really thought about this question.

Qi Xu didn't continue talking, someone in the room snapped his fingers, Qi Shan who tried hard for a long time to open his eyes finally got his wish.Only then did he see clearly that there was not only Qi Xu in the room, but also the girl who opened the door for them. Both of them were wearing light gauze skirts and pearls on their heads, and they looked like ancient people.Before he had time to digest the information, he soon realized something was wrong.His body moved by itself!

Half a minute later, Qi Shan sat on the edge of the bed, looked at Qi Xu with eyes full of horror and smiled and said to him: "Actually, for more than 400 years, there have been sacrifices in Nantang Town every year, but usually there are no sacrifices. There are only two exceptions. One was 700 years ago, and one is today."

After finishing speaking, Qi Xu got up first and walked towards the door, "Zhong Han, bring him here."

The girl named Zhong Han came over and smiled at Qi Shan's eyebrows, "Don't be afraid, that girl is just trying to scare you, you are too timid, you should practice. Otherwise..." Otherwise, she didn't say anything, Just smiled and turned away.

After she left, Qi Shan was once again horrified to find that her body was moving uncontrollably again.He walked out of the room with stiff steps and looked at the people holding candlesticks all over the yard, dressed in ancient costumes, with their heads slightly lowered towards him, and felt his heart suffocate instantly.In front of him are people he has seen before, and some of them are even familiar.The Qi family stood closest to him, and most of them were from the town. Just today, they talked together on the street, guessed lantern riddles together, and watched performances together on the side of the street.

But now, Qi Shan only thinks that these people are like ghosts who want their lives. If there is any trouble, these people will reveal their true colors, screaming and rushing towards him, gnawing his flesh and drinking his blood!

His eyes can't move independently, Qi Shan's field of vision is very limited, he can only see part of the people in front of him.Among this group of people, there are no his classmates.As far as the eye can see, the lights in the few rooms that can be seen have been turned off, as if the people inside have not been disturbed by the battle in the yard, and are still sleeping.

Seeming to see what he was thinking, Qi Xu kindly explained for him, "They are all asleep and won't know what happened tonight. When tomorrow dawns, their lives will not be any different in the future." , she looked at Qi Shan, "As for you, it's hard to say."

Qi Xu motioned to Zhong Han and walked towards the courtyard gate, Qi Shan immediately automatically followed behind her.Then came the people holding candlesticks in the yard, and the white candles were lit. These people lined up in two rows and followed behind Qi Shan.Not saying a word, more like a wandering spirit than a person.

Qi Shan followed Qi Xu, walked out of the gate of Qi's house, walked through many streets and alleys, and arrived at Nantang.At some point, the corridors of Nantang were filled with candles, and the whole Nantang was covered with a layer of cold light. The lotus flowers in the pond bloomed at the junction of the cold light and the night, and they were so red that they were enchanting.

Qi Xu didn't pause, and led Qi Shan up the corridor.At the same time, the people in Nantang Town, who had been waiting for a long time, divided into four groups, walking from the four corridors to the Huxin Pavilion.The crowd finally formed a cross at the Huxin Pavilion.

Seeing this posture, the first thought that popped into Qi Shan's mind was that this group of people wanted to make him a sacrifice!Struggling desperately all the way, but could only follow Qi Xu to keep approaching the Huxin Pavilion in vain.

There are stone steps on the west side of the Huxin Pavilion, Qi Xu took Qi Shan's hand and stepped down step by step.Qi Shan's face became paler and paler, as if Qi Xu could push him to the bottom of the Nantang in the next second.

At the bottom of several stone steps is a thick bluestone slab, and further down, there is a bottomless lake.As soon as he stepped on the bluestone slab, Qi Shan thought desperately: It's over, the next step is to go to the west.

However, Qi Xu stopped.Qi Shan was still overwhelmed by the surprise of temporarily recovering a life, but the next second he saw Qi Xu take out a dagger from his sleeve, and in front of Qi Shan, the cold light reflected on Qi Shan's face Suddenly, it was like cutting his flesh, and it hurt raw.

Qi Xu held the dagger and compared it to Qi Shan's neck, and the back of Qi Shan's head suddenly felt cold.That is to say, his body can't control himself now, otherwise he would probably have been scared to pee.

"What are you afraid of? My sister doesn't want your life." Qi Xu said flatly.

Qi Shan's entire spine and even the back of his head are numb, and usually the frenzied people say they don't want your life, then you must die.

"Do you still remember Qi Lianyu?" Qi Xu said, "He is also my younger brother, as timid as you. Probably because he was young and couldn't bear the burden. After being discovered by his father back then, his cowardice made him stand in front of his father one after another. Give in. When you asked me the other day when the actor died, did Xiao Juren do anything for him..." Qi Xu smiled, a little mockingly, but also helplessly, "Of course he did, he believed his father's words and drank A bowl of medicine, I forgot about Qingyu, in exchange, I begged my father to let Qingyu go. In the end, my good father, he broke his promise."

"Do you know who our priest is enshrining?" Knowing that he didn't answer, Qi Xu asked Qi Shan one after another, as if venting, and then asked himself, "It's Qingyu. Back then, my father hated him so much." , spent a lot of money to hire a magician, and used extremely insidious sorcery to trap him at the bottom of the Nantang forever, not to be reborn. The result was self-defeating. Unexpectedly, there was an ancient seal under the Nantang, and a group of people who had lost their minds Ghost, Qingyu swallowed thousands of ghosts with overwhelming resentment, and he made him." Qi Xu laughed again, "Originally, we all thought so. But many years later, I realized that I was wrong. Father didn't intend to be trapped Living in Qingyu, or he doesn't know what the result of doing so is, he just used Qi Lianyu and Qingyu to gamble his luck and create a guardian for the descendants of the Qi family in Nantang Town."

"You can blame us." Qi Xu picked up the dagger and put it close to Qi Shan's neck, "Qingyu has guarded Nantang Town for more than a thousand years, and there will be no war or famine. All he wants is Qi Lianyu, and we have to do everything for him turn up."

"Qi Shan, even if you don't remember, this is what you promised, and you can't go back on it." Qi Xu couldn't help accentuating the pronunciation of the last word, and Qi Shan, who had been dazzled by the huge amount of information after listening to the words for a long time, suddenly Wake up, she's about to go under the knife!
