It is said that falling in love can help escape

He eats people.

These three words were repeatedly split before his eyes, and then reassembled together. It took Tang Yu a long time to digest this information.

A layer of coldness seeped out from behind, like a cold poisonous snake, slowly crawled behind his ears, and breathed out at him slowly.

Tang Yu's body was extremely stiff, he walked slowly with the crowd, and smiled at the elder sister: "Okay, I will pay attention."

The elder sister seemed to be relieved, she silently nodded to him, and then patted his shoulder vigorously.

Soon they arrived near the altar, everyone gathered together, the bright torches were raised high, and the flames flickered.

Tang Yu still didn't see Shen Yizhou's shadow, he didn't even see Yuan Bai and Chen Jie.

Several people in black robes stood on the altar, with ornaments resembling ivory and chicken feathers on their heads, holding long wooden sticks of different colors in their hands.

Seeing that almost everyone had arrived, the leader took a step forward, raised the wooden staff high, and raised it above his head with both hands, opening his mouth and shouting a series of incomprehensible languages.

Tang Yu stood below listening with a dazed expression, but every time the people above said something, the people below would respond, and everyone was very excited.

Then, the man threw the wooden stick to the ground, and the ground of the altar shook violently. It was like some kind of signal, and everyone suddenly started to diverge. The woman in the red and green batik pleated dress bowed her head Head to the altar, the man is below, holding a torch and standing in a large circle around the altar.

Tang Yu thought about it, and when he was about to fish in troubled waters and follow the man around the altar, his body was roughly grabbed by someone, and he was lifted onto the altar like a chicken.

Tang Yu didn't realize what happened the whole time, and then he found himself standing on the altar, and at the very front.

The man who caught him up was the one who raised the cane just now. He had a long face, narrow eyes with a malevolent gleam in them, high cheekbones, and a sinister face.

He looked at Tang Yu and grinned at him: "Xiaoyu, where do you want to go? Are you so afraid of me?"

Tang Yu: "......"

Could this be that high priest?

He was thinking about how he should react, and he felt that something was wrong.

The man's hand came down from his waist irregularly, and when he was about to rub his butt, Tang Yu turned around, grabbed his wrist, and ruthlessly A twist.

The man suffered from pain and shook Tang Yu's hand twice before finally shaking off Tang Yu's hand.

Tang Yu raised her eyes and smiled at him: "Slippery hands. Are you okay?"

The man looked at him sullenly, and said coldly: "It seems that I haven't had enough lessons this afternoon, so I don't know what's good, just wait."

It seems that this person is the high priest.

Tang Yu didn't speak, and watched him stand back among the men in black again.

The men holding torches stood in a large circle, and they moved slowly around the altar. Following the high priest's order, one of them shouted, and the rest began to move.

— they are dancing.

They danced in circles, using their hands and feet together, shaking their bodies, and groaning reverently.

As for the women on the altar, they lowered their heads and slowly knelt on the ground following the singing.

Tang Yu also knelt down.

My heart is full of doubts.

Such a weird sacrifice... Who are they offering sacrifices to?What are you praying for?

Under the constantly flickering firelight, the high priest took out a worn parchment scroll from his arms, and he began to rap again in that language that no one could understand.

Tang Yu took the opportunity to look at the other men in black robes out of the corner of his eyes. They all wore similar clothes, only the color of the cane was different. One of them had a very delicate cane, which was different from the others. It should be the patriarch. up.

But this patriarch didn't look that scary, he could even be called kind, and he couldn't tell at all that he was the kind of person who could eat people.

Among these people, who is the ghost card and who is the human card?

Tang Yu was thinking about this problem. Suddenly, the voice of the high priest's chanting became louder and faster, and the men dancing under the altar seemed to be inspired, and they also accelerated their dance steps. Step on the ground and make strange drum beats.

At this moment, the parchment scroll in the high priest's hand suddenly glowed with white light under the eyes of everyone. The light was so dazzling that it quickly illuminated this area like daytime.

A woman's figure appeared in the middle of the white light. Her skin was snow-white, her eyes were bright and her teeth were white. She was wearing a simple white cloth robe and a circle of soft white flowers on her head.

She has no entity, only a phantom.

The woman stood on the altar, her eyes swept across the faces of the crowd one by one, her eyes seemed to be full of sadness, her brows were slightly frowned, and she opened her mouth softly, but what she said was something that no one would listen to. Do not understand the language.

All knelt down and folded their hands on their chests.

The High Priest held a staff and responded to her with excitement.

The woman listened quietly, her thin white fingers clenched tightly on her chest, and her brows became more and more wrinkled. Then, in the prayer of the high priest, she pointed her finger to the southwest thoughtfully.

The high priest knelt heavily on the ground, and his head collided with the ground, making a loud crashing sound.

Tang Yu looked at this scene inexplicably, and the doubts in his heart almost piled up in his throat.

what happened?What is she saying?Who is this woman?

Suddenly, the ground began to tremble violently, the ground shook, the trees swayed to one side, the whole world was spinning, the wind was strong, and the clouds were dense, as if the end of the world was coming.

And these human beings are like a few small dice packed in a wooden box. With the continuous shaking of the bumps, some people couldn't hold the torches in their hands, and fell to the ground in a mess.

Tang Yu clasped his head in his hands like a conditioned reflex, and the panic in his heart invaded his heart like a tide.

But surprisingly, the shaking stopped very quickly.

Everything returned to calm in an instant.

Tang Yu looked up and found that the woman on the altar disappeared together with the white light, and the high priest looked to the southwest with a gloomy expression, his eyes straight.

He also looked southwest—

A scarlet light lit up in the southwest, like a red eye in the night, silently staring at them.
