Meeting A Demonic Cultivator, Even God Cries

Hearing Fu Yiran's words, Si Yu glanced at him indifferently, pulled back the quilt without saying a word, and patted the place next to him to signal Gu Xizhou to lie down.

Gu Xizhou stared at the two blurred figures by the window and frowned slightly, but he still listened to Si Yu's words and lay down to sleep.

Seeing this, Fu Yiran turned over and lay down on his own bed, facing the window on his side.

Under the covers, Gu Xizhou heard Si Yu lower his voice: "Listen to me, don't look, sleep well, you'll be fine tonight."

Gu Xizhou nodded and said, "I know."

Probably to prevent Gu Xizhou from running to see the dark shadows outside, Si Yu grabbed Gu Xizhou's clothes corner with one hand when he was sleeping. This time he did not sleep with his back to Gu Xizhou, and soon Gu Xizhou heard Si Yu Steady breathing.

In the darkness, Si Yu closed his eyes, his eyelashes like crow feathers were slightly curled, and his black hair was scattered randomly.

Gu Xizhou glanced at the black figure by the window, but because Si Yu grabbed his clothes, he had no choice but to give up his curiosity.

"Don't look at it?"

Si Yu seemed to be asleep and didn't hear Fu Yiran's words.

In the darkness, Fu Yiran got off the bed again, with a smile on his pretty face, and winked at Gu Xizhou, "Do you want to read it? I'll tear up the newspaper."

"Don't look," Gu Xizhou felt Si Yu's breathing behind him, and frowned, "I'm asleep."

After Gu Xizhou finished speaking, he closed his eyes and fell asleep directly, and after a while, he heard the sound of even breathing.

Fu Yiran next to him saw that Gu Xizhou closed his eyes and was taken aback. He stood by the bed and stared at Gu Xizhou and Si Yu for a moment before returning to his bed.

the next day.

When Gu Xizhou came out of the bathroom, he ran into Fu Yiran who had already put on women's clothes. He saw that there were two dark circles under Fu Yiran's eyelids, and asked, "Why didn't you sleep well last night?"

Fu Yiran waved his hand, and said helplessly, "Don't mention it, those two figures stood by our window for a whole night yesterday, and I didn't dare to sleep."

Gu Xizhou looked at him in surprise, and it wasn't until breakfast that Gu Xizhou realized that the other six people had dark circles under their eyes.

"Did you see the figure last night?" Liu Kai suddenly looked around at the dining table, and found that the eldest sister who was cooking for them had already walked out of the dining room. He said in a low voice, "That figure stood by the window all night. , I was so scared that I didn't dare to move all night!"

"I see." Fu Yiran pointed to the dark circles under his eyes, "I haven't slept all night, but the two of them slept pretty well."

As soon as Fu Yiran finished speaking, the eyes of the surroundings fell on Gu Xizhou and Si Yu at the same time, with a look of surprise on his face, and it was obvious—how did you guys sleep?

Si Yu didn't care about the eyes of the people around him, he ate his breakfast quietly and elegantly, and Gu Xizhou followed suit.

"It really is a boss." Fu Yiran stared at Si Yu and sighed.

Gu Xizhou and the others didn't see the village chief until after breakfast.

"It's really hard work for you. It's really helpless to call you here these days. The plaque in the ancestral hall is rotten. If it is not repaired, it may fall down when the ancestors are worshipped." The village chief said to Gu Xizhou and the others very politely.

After listening to it for a long time, Gu Xizhou finally understood the situation. The village worshiped the ancestors five days later, and the plaque outside the ancestral hall was no longer usable due to years of rain and termite corrosion. The village decided to pay someone to make a new plaque and hang it up. And they are the carpenters invited by the villagers to make plaques.

"Let's go, I'll take you to the ancestral hall right now." The village head said, "Every year before Qingming, our village has an ancestor worship. Ancestor worship is our major event, and bless us with good weather."

As he spoke, the old man laughed and said to everyone: "By the way, the ancestral hall is an important place. There are rules in the village, and outsiders are not allowed to enter."

Gu Xizhou frowned and asked, "What if we go in?"

The village head showed a smiling face to Gu Xizhou, his old eyes smiled like two chrysanthemums, full of wrinkles: "You can try."

After answering Gu Xizhou's question, the village head repeated the time limit again and again: "The new plaque must be made within five days."

After finishing speaking, the village chief put his hands behind his back and walked outside, as if he wanted to lead them the way. The others immediately stood up and followed the village chief's footsteps. Along the way, the village chief told them not to enter the ancestral hall many times, saying over and over again Not too annoying.

The village chief led them along the main road of the village until they reached the westernmost edge of the village. There were low shrubs around here, without any shelter, and there were not a single taller tree. I saw the ancestral hall mentioned by the village head.

The surrounding area of ​​the ancestral hall is bare, and the plaque standing at the door says "Zheng's Ancestral Hall". There are countless small holes on this plaque, which are probably left by termites. One piece is missing on the left foot. The plaque was covered with black mildew, and the gold characters on the black background were somewhat smudged.

And on the wall next to the ancestral hall, there is a small wooden sign that reads - the ancestral hall is an important place, idlers are not allowed to enter, and those who violate it will bear the consequences.

From the outside, the ancestral hall is very big, Gu Xizhou glanced inside, it was pitch black, and he couldn't see anything clearly.

The old man pointed to the ancestral hall behind him and said, "This is it. You should make the new plaque as soon as possible, within five days, before worshiping the ancestors."

Seeing that the old man mentioned the time limit for worshiping ancestors many times, Gu Xizhou couldn't help asking: "What will happen if you don't do it within five days?"

"Heh." The old man gave Gu Xizhou a weird smile, and instead of answering Gu Xizhou's question, with his hands behind his back, he asked the others, "Do you have any questions?"

Si Yu: "Where is the wood?"

The old man smiled, pointed to a mountain in front of him and said, "There are many logs on that mountain."

"Chop yourself?"

The old man nodded, "Don't worry, the wood on that mountain was cut down casually, it was planted by the ancestors of the villagers."

This is the first time for Gu Xizhou to enter such a world. In this world, there is obviously a task that needs to be completed by the player. If it is not completed, there will be a penalty. Of course, the penalty in this task world is not known-death.

"Are there any requirements for plaque making?" Gu Xizhou thought of a question, they don't know carpentry.

"Just do it well."

Gu Xizhou frowned: "What kind of work is done?"

"If there is a plaque and words, that's fine."

Not long after the old man finished answering the question, everyone chatted in a low voice.

"Isn't this request too simple? If there is a plaque and words, it's fine, but if we draw peach charms casually, it's fine?"

While they were talking, they suddenly heard the sound of a woman crying. Gu Xizhou subconsciously looked at Fu Yiran beside him, but at this time, Fu Yiran was like him, frowning slightly, as if he was listening to the voice from afar.

It sounded like many women were crying together, not just one person, the low-pitched cry seemed to be confiding, and with the crying, everyone couldn't help but feel their scalps go numb.

Fu Yiran hesitated to speak for a moment, and asked the old man, "Is there a woman crying inside?"

The village head showed a blank expression and said: "No, no one is crying inside, you heard me wrong!"

"Someone was crying."

The village head looked blank, he was taken aback for a moment, and said, "I'll go in and have a look."

After the old man finished speaking, he stepped into the ancestral hall and followed the village chief. Gu Xizhou heard the cries grow louder, as if countless mouths were opening and crying at the same time.

The village chief came out soon after entering, raised his eyebrows and said: "No one is crying, you must have heard wrong, is it because you are too late to come to our village, so you are uncomfortable?"

"Maybe." Si Yu said calmly after hearing the words.

"Hey, you still need to rest more. If you don't rush the five-day construction period, you can take two days off to make plaques, as long as you don't delay the time to worship the ancestors." The village chief smiled and was very considerate.

Although the village chief said so, the cries in the ancestral hall were still heard intermittently, as if many people were crying at the same time, and the voices became louder and louder. As for his kindness, naturally no one accepted it.

The sooner the plaque is done, the sooner they can get out of here.

After the old man left, Gu Xizhou poked his head slightly and took a look inside, wanting to find out.

"Don't go in yet," Si Yu suddenly grabbed Gu Xizhou and said in a low voice.

"Okay." While Gu Xizhou nodded, he glanced inside and into the ancestral hall, and could barely see the candles burning slowly inside.

After confirming the location of the ancestral hall, Gu Xizhou and the others went to the mountain mentioned by the village chief to fetch wood. Unexpectedly, the wood was obtained easily, and no accidents occurred during this period.

The wood was placed at the door of the house where they lived, and the woman who cooked for them last night made the meal very early. When she saw them coming back, she smiled as honestly as yesterday.

"You guys are back, let's eat." The woman said to several people after setting up the bowls and chopsticks.

After finishing speaking, the woman took off her apron and was about to leave. At this time, Si Yu asked casually, "What is your ancestral hall mainly used for?"

When the woman heard the words, she raised her head and glanced at Si Yu and said, "It's for ancestor worship, and only people will go there every year when ancestor worship."

"Does anyone in your village live in it?"

The women in the village smiled, put down the apron in their hands, and said, "Living in it? Who lives there? Living with the ancestral tablet? How scary!"

After speaking, the woman left straight away, leaving the nine of them sitting at the dining table to continue eating.

"It's going well today...we'll use tools to cut that piece of wood later." The only girl in the team said softly, "I haven't seen such a world for a long time. It's rare that there were no dead people this morning."

After the girl finished speaking, her eyes were bent into little moons, obviously not as nervous as yesterday.

Fu Yiran next to him heard the girl's words, and said calmly: "Don't be careless, be careful that you will be the first to die."

When the girl heard Fu Yiran's words, she immediately became angry and excited, and asked, "What are you talking about! What do you mean I was the first to die, are you sick?"

Fu Yiran glanced at her indifferently, and sneered, "I'm just kindly reminding you—curiosity killed the cat."

"Hey, you are not a man or a woman, say it again! You..." The girl was very angry. After all, in such a world, it is not a good thing for someone to say that you will die.

Fu Yiran rolled his eyes: "Remember my advice, anyway, you are going to die or live, and it has nothing to do with me."

"Okay, don't say a few words," Gu Xizhou patted Fu Yiran's shoulder. This place is always full of death, so it's really not good to say that.

The people next to him also persuaded the girl, but Fu Yiran didn't speak under Gu Xizhou's eyes. In the afternoon, there were two people in the team who didn't like each other, but they rushed to work together and finished the plaque before it was almost dark.

"It's ready? You are too fast, can you press it today?" The village chief didn't mind the crooked words on the new plaque that looked like small second-hand scripts, but showed joy on his face.

On the contrary, Liu Kai took a look at the already dark sky, and estimated that it took them about an hour to get to the ancestral hall this morning, and it was already dark now.

"We'll press it for you tomorrow morning. It's too dark to be safe now," Liu Kai said.

The village chief didn't forcefully ask them to hang up the plaque today, but instead he laughed, "Well, there's no rush anyway, just fix it before offering sacrifices to the ancestors."

After dinner, Gu Xizhou glanced at the time on his phone and said to everyone: "It's getting late, go to sleep."

When the people around heard his words, they nodded slightly and went back to their rooms.

The three of them had washed up briefly, and Gu Xizhou was sitting on the bed, staring at the window with newspapers in a daze.

"Look at what?"

Si Yu patted Gu Xizhou on the shoulder and asked.

Gu Xizhou looked up at him and said, "I was thinking about those two figures last night."

"Curiosity killed the cat." Si Yu suddenly said lightly.

Gu Xizhou was taken aback when he heard this sentence, because it was exactly the same as what Fu Yiran said to the girl during the day.

After sleeping until midnight, Fu Yiran woke Gu Xizhou up again, pointed to the reflection on the window, "Gu Ran, don't you wonder what's outside?"

Gu Xizhou: "..."

Fu Yiran smiled at him, intending to invite Gu Xizhou to explore the mystery together, with a smile in his eyes, but soon the expression on Fu Yiran's face froze.

Gu Xizhou felt his vest cool, he turned his head and saw Si Yu turned over from the bed, Si Yu's eyes fell on Fu Yiran coldly, and then whispered to him: "Remember what I told you."

Gu Xizhou nodded with curiosity. In fact, he was scratched by the black shadow outside, and he really wanted to take a look.

It must be a ghost outside, and it's not a big problem for him, most likely a beating will be enough.

Seeing his gaze towards the window, Si Yu walked to the window helplessly, and tapped on the window lightly with his hand.

"There's nothing you want here, let's go."

The things outside seemed to understand his words, and the outline of the black shadow on the window became smaller and smaller until it disappeared.

The next day—

Gu Xizhou hadn't walked out of the room when he heard whispers at the door!

"Dead... It really isn't that simple, two people will die in one night!" Liu Kai pointed to the room in the corner, and whispered to Wen Wen next to him.

When Gu Xizhou saw the blood dripping all over the floor, he knew that something had happened last night. His four feet were outside the door. Gu Xizhou walked over and took a look - the two corpses lying on the ground had already changed beyond recognition, and the blood on the ground It flowed from their faces, and their faces were gone. Other than that, their clothes were intact. From the clothes, it could be seen that one of them was the girl who quarreled with Fu Yiran yesterday.

Gu Xizhou subconsciously looked at the situation in the room of the two of them. He noticed that the window of the room where the newspaper was pasted was torn into an irregular shape, just enough to see the situation outside.

Curiosity killed the cat.
