Chapter 74 The Hidden Village
Maomao led them all the way deeper, bouncing along the way, and their happiness was visible to the naked eye.
After walking for nearly twenty minutes, Gu Qingyin became a little anxious. Just as she was about to ask, Maomao in front of her suddenly screamed twice in excitement.
Gu Qingyin's heart moved and she took two quick steps. The front suddenly became clear.
Gu Qingyin was very surprised. Who would have thought that there was a village hidden on this small island.
Maomao turned around and shouted at them twice, then turned around and ran out, even faster than when he ran away before.
Huo Xinghai was startled, "It won't run away, right?"
"No." Gu Qingyin was very interested in this village, "Go in and have a look."
The houses in the village are all wooden houses on stilts. They must be very old, and some of them are already half-collapsed.
Gu Qingyin found a room that looked relatively complete and walked in.
The furnishings in the house are very simple, with a bed, a low table, and four wooden benches. There was a plate on the table, and it was so dark that I couldn't tell what it was. There was no quilt on the bed, but there were straw mats and crooked wooden pillows.
There is a sickle in the corner of the house, a bow and arrow hanging on the wall next to it, and a rattan basket with holes hanging on the beam...
Gu Qingyin looked around and felt something.
The owner of this house didn't know that he would never come back when he went out this time. He just went out temporarily, and he might want to wait until he came back to finish the food on the table.
"What happened..." Gu Qingyin muttered to herself.
Looking at the pile of corpses outside, we can tell that the people in the village left the village because of the same thing, and none of them came back.
"Mom, what did you find?" Huo Xinghai stood at the door and poked his head around.
Gu Qingyin came out, shook her head and asked: "Is Maomao back?"
This place was so dirty, Huo Xinghai felt disgusted all over his body, as if he was afraid of bumping into something.
"I don't know where it went. This place is so dilapidated. Is there anything easy to get from it?"
Gu Qingyin continued walking into the village. Huo Xinghai didn't want to go in, but he didn't want to stay here with the two puppets either. After hesitating for a moment, he reluctantly followed his mother.
Gu Qingyin discovered a very strange building in the village. It looked a bit like a yurt from the outside, but it was made of wood.
A circular wall with a conical roof on top, a piece of wood standing on top, and a white cloth strip tied in front.
The wooden door on it has fallen off. Looking in from the outside, it is dark, as if there is some kind of ghost hidden there.
"Mom, mom." Huo Xinghai tugged on Gu Qingyin's clothes, "You don't want to go in, do you?"
Gu Qingyin stared at the inside of the yurt and comforted her without much care, "Be good, just wait for mom at the door. I'll go in and take a look and then come out." After saying that, without waiting for Huo Xinghai's consent, she walked away.
Huo Xinghai could only watch as his mother got farther and farther away from him, and finally disappeared at the entrance of the yurt.
He blinked, feeling a little strange. Would a normal person suddenly lose sight when he enters the door?
Huo Xinghai suddenly became nervous. Could this entrance be a time and space entrance to other dimensions? Can his mother come back?
He took out his phone and looked at the time, and secretly made a very brave decision - if Gu Qingyin didn't come out after five minutes, he would go in to find her!
The main one, if he disappears, disappear together. Don't think of leaving him alone anyway.
Gu Qingyin noticed something was wrong when she walked in the door with one foot, and it felt like walking through a time and space channel again.
But it was too late to retreat at this time. She could only follow the force forward, unless she could tear her body in half, half on this side of time and space, and half on the other side of time and space. Things were not so bad that he had to kill himself, so Gu Qingyin chose to stay put for the time being and see where the destination was.
As the power of time and space slowly dissipated, Gu Qingyin's eyes also lit up, a dim yellow light that seemed to be dimming at any moment.
Gu Qingyin looked up and saw stone murals all over the wall. The light she just felt came from the torch next to the mural.
Gu Qingyin paused and looked around.
This is a very empty place, with an altar-like thing in the center, with a brazier and a bronze cross on it. She came closer and saw a large area of dark red on the edge of the bronze altar.
If you guessed correctly, this should be what the yurt looked like before it was abandoned, and it was a place for sacrifices in the village.
I don't know how many people died on the altar, and the evil aura was very strong. Gu Qingyin casually slapped the evil evil charm on it.
But it's strange. As soon as the evil evil talisman fell on the altar, the talisman suddenly became transparent and then slowly disappeared.
Gu Qingyin raised her eyebrows knowingly, because she came from another time and space, so she couldn't affect things here unless she wanted to stay forever.
But obviously, she doesn't want to.
Shrugging, Gu Qingyin turned around and returned to the mural. She was only curious about the fate of this village.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
The murals were very simple, but the meaning expressed was very clear. Gu Qingyin read them one by one.
There is no specific time. At first, a group of people traveled across mountains and rivers, found a piece of land, and then settled there, becoming the first residents here.
This piece of land is the island where Gu Qingyin and the others record the show.
The villagers have been holding sacrificial activities, and the god they worship is coincidentally the Zhulong.
The candle dragon occasionally answered their prayers and swept away their tribute.
But suddenly one day the candle dragon disappeared. No matter how many tributes the villagers prepared and how sincere their prayers were, the candle dragon never appeared again.
The villagers didn't understand. They discussed it for a long time and came to the conclusion that maybe the tribute was wrong.
Afterwards, the villagers began to sacrifice human beings to pray for the candle dragon's response.
The result was unexpectedly good. The first time a human was used as a sacrifice, the candle dragon appeared.
The candle dragon swept away the sacrifices and then helped the villagers realize their wishes.
At this point, the villagers became more and more certain that Master Zhulong liked to eat people.
Although evil, as long as one person is sacrificed, the whole village can live a good life, and the villagers think it is worth it.
But they never expected that that would be the last time Zhulong appeared. After that, no matter how many men and women were sacrificed, Zhulong never responded again.
The villagers fell into panic, and then reflected again on what step they had taken to anger Zhulong, and finally came to the conclusion again that the sacrifice was too old and not delicious.
Then the villagers, led by the village chief, broke into a house that day and took away their child who was less than a week old.
The child was born with a disability. He could not speak, was very hairy, and was thin and small. At first glance, he looked like a little monkey.
Gu Qingyin stared at the furry child on the mural for a long time, thinking it couldn't be such a coincidence, but her intuition told her that it was just such a coincidence.
This furry kid was Maomao when he was little.
