Chapter 307 A Different Sacrifice
“Huh? What’s wrong with you?”
Walking into the courtyard, Lin Qian saw him sitting on a chair shivering and huddled together. Liu Qi and Wang Yi.
The two people's faces were pale and their eyes were extremely dark. It was obvious that they were the result of not sleeping all night last night.
Think about it, who could fall asleep with all the noise last night? Who has the guts to fall asleep?
Seeing Lin Qian coming back, Liu Qi and Wang Yi stood up quickly as if they had seen the savior, and then said tremblingly:
"No one can be seen in the mirror, but there is no one in the water tank." There is no water, but after a while there will be a splashing sound."
"There is obviously no water on the beams. Something, but we just heard something shaking there...this...this is still some problems, and there are many weird things."
"We are both afraid, so...so..."
Lin Qian looked at the trembling two people, thought for a while, nodded and said:
"Well, it's excusable, but don't worry, it's just some ghosts."
Lin Qian walked to the stone table and sat down, observing the situation of Tian Yunxiao and the three of them.
The situation is not bad, Li Gui has died, the balance is being established, and he will wake up tomorrow at most.
Looking at Coco, this little girl was holding a white cat and learning to fly.
The plane was naturally the little white cat. Looking at the kitten holding a peach in its paws, Lin Qian silently withdrew his gaze.
Hearing Lin Qian's words, Liu Qi and Wang Yi turned even paler. They couldn't help but look at their rooms, thought about it and sat back on the stone chairs.
They felt that with Lin Qian by their side, they had a great chance of survival.
Lin Qian didn't care. He looked up at the sky and saw that it was getting dark again.
The time here seems to be very strange. Sometimes it is long and sometimes it is short. For example, yesterday, the time yesterday was a little longer. It was nine o'clock in the afternoon when it got dark.
When it dawned, it was twelve o'clock at noon.
It gets dark today at seven o'clock in the afternoon. There is no pattern and it's very chaotic.
The light in the sky quickly disappeared, and the night began to express its emotions.
Black clouds rolled in, overwhelming the moonlight. Knocking on the door, scratching, footsteps and the faint shout also sounded at the same time.
Lin Qian turned his head and glanced at the wall. The little girl was already standing on the wall, staring down at everyone in the yard.
There was a look of malice in his eyes, and his twisted face was very penetrating.
Liu Qi and Wang Yi hugged each other on the spot, and their bodies began to tremble involuntarily.
Lin Qian's eyes were calm, and she was playing with the bride's hands, occasionally adjusting the hem of the bride's skirt.
He was very leisurely and contented. It could be seen that he didn't care about these things.
Although the noise is a bit annoying, just pretend you can't hear it.
Looking at Coco, well, Coco was not affected at all. The little girl ran to the corner with the little white cat in her arms, and raised her head to see the little girl.
"Dad, why is this young lady standing so tall, and why does she look so delicious!"
Keke looked back at Lin Qian and asked with some confusion.
"You said this, maybe she thinks the scenery above is good. As for why she looks so delicious, it's because she can't eat it." Lin Qian said with a smile.
Hearing his father’s explanation, Keke nodded and thought about the same truth:
“It seems that it tastes good because you can’t eat it.”
Coco wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth, and then walked back reluctantly.
Lin Qian did not continue talking and concentrated on adjusting the bride's skirt.
Liu Qi and Wang Yi were both numb. They were trembling there, not even daring to raise their heads.
The knocking on the door continued, but this time the knocking on the door was obviously a little strange. It sounded as if someone was knocking on the door instead of someone outside.
The sound of scratching at the door was the same, and the footsteps were more intensive, and they lingered in front of the door.
Lin Qian also discovered this change. From this, it can be seen that this is the change Liu Meng mentioned.
I have to say, it’s really interesting, at least that’s what Lin Qian thinks.
The bride's wedding dress slipped through Lin Qian's hands, smooth and delicate. The bride leaned quietly against Lin Qian's body, very quiet and calm.
Coco was sitting on the stone chair, lying on the stone table, watching the little white cat eating the big peach bite by bite, its little eyes narrowed into crescents, and its little feet swayed slightly, looking very happy.
It took a long time, and the night began to show its power. At this moment, Lin Qian's movement of adjusting the bride's skirt stagnated slightly. After thinking about it, he stopped and turned to look at Tian. Yunxiao and their positions.
The red cocoon shook slightly, the red thread began to disappear, and Tian Yunxiao opened his eyes first.
He raised his arm and looked carefully, then laughed:
"Is it the ghost in the dream, Captain Lin, your methods are really terrifying."< br>
Tian Yunxiao pushed up his glasses, his eyes filled with smiles.
“Looking at you, I feel pretty good. What are the chances of becoming an outlier this time?”
Lin Qian stretched out his hand to grab the water droplets that swept out from Tian Yunxiao's eyebrows, and said.
"Well, it's hard to say. I guess there is a 20-30% chance." Tian Yunxiao thought for a while and said.
"Is that so? It's not low." Lin Qian said.
It is not easy to become an outlier. He, Tian Yunxiao, is confident that he has a 20-30% chance, which shows that he is very sure.
Tian Yunxiao smiled and said nothing. He looked around and frowned:
"It can be seen that there are quite a lot of evil ghosts. How about I deal with them?"
But at this point, Tian Yunxiao shook his head again and said:
"I guess not. Team Lin didn't move anything. I guess the result will be the same."
After saying that, Tian Yunxiao smiled and sat next to Liu Qi, glanced at the ghost standing on the courtyard wall, and ignored him. Looking at the white cat on the table with interest.
Lin Qian smiled, smart guy.
Tian Yunxiao was the first to come out. This is not surprising. He was already much stronger than Xu Qingxiao and Song Yu.
However, now that Tian Yunxiao has come out, Xu Qingxiao and Song Yu should be here soon.
"Old Tian, you?" Liu Qi looked at Tian Yunxiao hesitantly, a little unsure whether he was Tian Yunxiao.
After all, the temperaments of the two of them are as good as heaven and earth. In the past, Tian Yunxiao was polite, well-informed, and a scholar.
Now Tian Yunxiao looks extremely confident, with a smile in his eyes and a strange temperament, like an elegant... fox?
Liu Qi was a little unsure whether the person in front of him was Tian Yunxiao or his classmate.
"What's wrong?" Tian Yunxiao turned to look at Liu Qi.
Looking at Tian Yunxiao’s warm smile, Liu Qi shuddered:
“No, it’s nothing, I just feel that you seem different.”
Tian Yunxiao smiled and didn't pay too much attention. He turned around and continued to stare at the scary white cat.
This is the terrifying thing about Captain Lin's family. This white cat can easily kill him, but now this white cat is sitting on the table, holding a peach and gnawing there. .
And he was very docile to that little girl.
Liu Qi saw that Tian Yunxiao was not interested in talking, so he wisely stopped talking nonsense.
He also knew that after coming out of the red cocoon, Tian Yunxiao was no longer from the same world as him.
He understands very well.
But he didn't care about this. With a familiar person beside him, he felt a little more at ease, at least he didn't have to be so nervous.
Lin Qian looked at the red cocoons of Xu Qingxiao and Song Yu without saying anything. As time passed slowly, it was an hour after Tian Yunxiao came out.
The red cocoons of Xu Qingxiao and Song Yu began to disappear at the same time, and they appeared in everyone's eyes in just a blink of an eye.
"Zhen Zhen, it's not bad, exactly the same."
Xu Qingxiao touched a twisted and winding black line on his skin, grinning at the corner of his mouth, revealing a strange smile.
Song Yu looked at the black skin on his body and frowned, then a supernatural force appeared, the skin began to change color, and a sound of flesh and blood was ripped apart.
A piece of human skin suddenly appeared in the air. Song Yu smiled and stretched out her hand to wear the piece of human skin. This was her original skin, but it was covered by the ghost skin.
And now, she peeled off this layer of skin and wore it outside.
"It looks comfortable this way. How can it be so dark and elegant?" Song Yu muttered.
When Liu Qi saw this scene, his pupils shrank, he swallowed, and a chill ran down his spine.
His classmates seemed to be no longer human...
"Why are there so many ghosts here?" Xu Qingxiao frowned and looked around, his eyes thoughtful.
“It’s just a ghost.” Song Yu stared straight at Lin Qian, but when she saw the bride in Lin Qian’s arms, she looked away.
Lin Qian looked at Song Yu with a playful smile:
“Want my skin?”
Hearing Lin Qian's words, Song Yu smiled, neither denying nor admitting.
Lin Qian didn't care either. There was someone who could peel off his skin, but it wouldn't be Song Yu.
"You three, go to Dajiang City after you leave. There are not enough manpower there." Lin Qian said.
"Yes, okay." Tian Yunxiao nodded.
"That's no problem." Xu Qingxiao smiled and nodded.
"Okay." Song Yu nodded.
Lin Qian was not saying anything, and looked up at the sky. It was twelve o'clock in the morning, and the night was actually fading.
The sky began to turn fish belly white, the golden sun began to rise, and it was dawn.
At this time, the knocking, scratching, footsteps, and the ghost standing on the wall all disappeared, just in the blink of an eye.
At the same time, the knock on the door rang again, and the old village chief’s voice appeared:
"The sacrificial activities will begin soon. Those who want to participate in the sacrificial ceremony can gather under the old locust tree."
Lin Qian knocked on the table, and Huang Hui, who had fallen to the ground, suddenly opened her eyes and stood up.
Then he opened the door and walked out. The old village chief smiled and nodded to Huang Hui and said:
"Good boy, go ahead. I will take you with me for this sacrifice. I went to see the Lingguan.”
Hearing what the old village chief said, a smile suddenly appeared on Huang Hui’s face:
"Really! Thank you, old village chief! Thank you, old village chief!"
Huang Hui bowed and thanked the old village chief repeatedly.
The old village chief just smiled, then stared at Lin Qian and the others, the smile on his face disappeared slightly:
"Young man, I advise you to participate in the sacrifice, otherwise, you I can’t guarantee the safety of your life.”
“The villagers are already very dissatisfied with you. If you still insist on it, it’s better to blame us for not warning you in advance. Young man, don’t say it was unforeseen.”< br>
After speaking, the old village chief glanced at Lin Qian and others coldly, then turned around and left with Huang Hui.
Lin Qian looked at the back of the old village chief with a calm expression.
Tian Yunxiao had a smile in his eyes and stared at the old village chief without saying a word.
"Captain Lin, can you kill this old man?" Xu Qingxiao asked.
"Why are you so murderous? It's not too late to wait until I get his skin off first." Song Yu stroked his arm with a smile on his face.
Lin Qian glanced at the two people, not paying much attention, and said lightly:
"You cannot kill the sacrifices."
Hearing this, Tian Yunxiao was a little surprised, Xu Qingxiao Somewhat disappointed, Song Yu was extremely indifferent.
"Is that so? Forget it." Song Yu said.
Lin Qian didn't care. He came to the roof of the second floor in a flash and looked in the direction of the old locust tree.
It was still there just like yesterday, with villagers kneeling on the ground quietly and reciting obscure rituals. If you listen carefully, you can find that today's rituals seem to be different from yesterday's.
The old locust tree remains the same, its leaves swaying, driving the wooden sign below.
The old village chief walked slowly through the crowd, walked to the old locust tree, and knelt down, just like yesterday.
As soon as the old village chief appeared, everyone stopped chanting and waited for the old village chief to take the lead.
The old locust tree was swaying unsteadily, and Lin Qian squinted at it. He wanted to see what today's memorial ceremony was.
Tian Yunxiao looked up at Lin Qian and thought for a while before joining in the fun.
Xu Qingxiao wanted to go up, but unfortunately he was stared at by a pair of green eyes, so he didn't dare to move. The same was true for Song Yu.
But suddenly, the expressions of the three of them changed slightly. The three of them looked at each other and understood that something was wrong.
They all looked up and saw that Lin Qian's body began to flash green and red, and his whole body seemed to be illusory.
At the same time, one person, or should not say one person, but the chanting of a group of people sounded in their ears.
"The bathing orchid soup is full of fragrance, the flowers and clothes are like a young girl, the spirit is curled up and left, the death is still young."
"The Jian will be in the longevity palace, and the sun and the moon are in the same light, the dragon We are riding in the emperor's clothes, chatting and traveling around Zhouzhang."
"The emperor has descended. Looking up into the clouds, I can see Jizhou far away, but I am so exhausted across the sea."
"I miss my husband so much that I am very tired and worried."
Tian Yunxiao narrowed his eyes slightly. , slowly spit out a sentence:
"Jiu Ge, Lord Yun Zhong."
"What are they offering sacrifices to? Why would they use this?" Xu Qingxiao frowned, a little confused.
Song Yu looked at Lin Qian solemnly, his eyes flickering slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.
Lin Qian had some doubts in her eyes and looked in the direction of the old locust tree:
"Yun Zhongjun? Today is Yun Zhongjun? Are they all Jiu Ge?"
Lin Qian was very surprised:
"Sacrifice to mountain ghosts, sacrifice to Daze? What on earth are they sacrificing?"
At this moment, as the old village chief finished reciting the sacrificial inscription, everyone All fell silent.
The old village chief stood up slowly, with a solemn expression:
“God laying ceremony!”
The words blurted out, and in an instant the old locust tree shook suddenly. With a plop, the wind chime sounded again, and the two black wooden plaques fell off and were caught by the old village chief.
The old village chief looked at the wooden sign in his hand, nodded, and then shouted:
"Sacrifice!"
The voice was as solemn as the old village chief's face. Solemn.
After the words fell, seven or eight big men wearing coarse linen clothes and red masks appeared.
They carried two red lacquer coffins onto the altar. One of the coffins shook slightly, as if something was struggling inside.
Everyone saw this scene, but no one cared. Instead, they were full of envy.
The coffin was placed on the altar just like yesterday. Scratching sounds came from a coffin, and there was a faint sound of crying, which seemed to be a woman's voice.
But no one cared. The old village chief walked up to the altar with two sticks of black incense and inserted the black incense into the incense burner. Black smoke swirled around in the air, and then went straight into the two coffins.
Seeing this scene, the old village chief withdrew from the altar expressionlessly.
"The sacrifices have been opened, let's pay homage to the gods!"
The old village chief shouted, then took the lead and knelt down, kowtowing and saluting just like yesterday.
Dong
Everyone kowtows immediately.
“It’s done! Exit!”
The old village chief stood up, turned around and walked outside. When he passed through the crowd, everyone gave way as if they were giving way to the gods.
The old village chief walked calmly, but suddenly he turned his head and looked in a direction, which was the direction where Lin Qian was standing.
He looked indifferent, and after looking at Lin Qian, he left the crowd.
Qinghong began to disappear and the restart ended. Lin Qian looked at it all calmly.
The old locust tree is still the old locust tree, and the sacrifice is still the sacrifice, but today's sacrifices and rituals have changed.
There were no other changes. The sacrifices were still held normally, and Lin Qian still did not attend the sacrifices.
“Interesting place.”
Lin Qian came down from the roof and returned to the yard. He glanced at Tian Yunxiao and the other three and said calmly:
“Look for it yourself. Room."
"Okay." Tian Yunxiao pushed up his glasses, then got up and went to find the room.
Xu Qingxiao and Song Yu both smiled and said nothing, the same thing.
As long as Liu Qi and Wang Yi are still trembling.
Lin Qian didn't care and sat down on the stone chair, recalling in his mind what happened when the starving ghost entered the sacrificial activity.
Just now he let the starving ghost quietly walk under the old locust tree, and the result was very strange. Before the sacrifice began, it was quiet, peaceful, and nothing weird at all.
But when the sacrificial activity begins, all the starving ghosts die instantly and then return to their original bodies.
Recalling the situation at that time, Lin Qian was sure that he did not find any supernatural fluctuations, not even a little bit.
The starving ghost felt as if he was being attacked out of thin air.
"It's like an attack from the past. There is no way to avoid it, and you can't feel it."
Lin Qian tapped the table gently:
"The past ? If that’s the case, that would be a bit troublesome.”
Looking around, Lin Qian's eyes deepened as he thought of the ghost on the courtyard wall:
"If it really existed in the past, then many things would make sense."
"No wonder I I can't find a single ghost. It turns out that these things were not given to me at the same time."
"Like. If this is the case, then I have a way, but I still have to confirm it. If I guess wrong, it will be a big joke."
Thinking of this, Lin Qian started to plan, he had to find a way. Determine whether the source ghost of Coffin Village is really in the past time, and if so, where is this point in time.
He can't just go over there. If he restarts the past, God knows when it will appear. When supernatural beings collide, no one knows what will happen.
"You have to give it a try. If it doesn't work, then just wait for the sacrifice to end and eat the evil ghost after it comes out."
"There are only seven days left, no. It’s too long,” Lin Qian thought.
At this moment, the old village chief opened the door and walked in alone. (End of this chapter)
