Chapter 500 The Weird Underworld Festival in Reservoir Village
Pan Cao's words were not alarmist, he was warning them, what would happen in this place at night?
I heard Pan Cao say before that the place under the lake seemed to be some kind of First Tomb, and it should be a different place, but Feng Yu really couldn't guess what kind of movement there would be at night.
After talking for a while, Wang Ding and his wife came back from collecting herbs. The locals rested at sunset, and it was basically time to go home when the sun went down.
After a tiring day, Feng Yu and the others went back to rest early in the morning. Pan Cao was in the same room with them. Everyone tacitly understood what Pan Cao had said in the evening.
Feng Yu was probably tired, so he lay down and touched the pillow, and fell asleep quickly.
Maybe it's because I changed places and I didn't sleep well. She also said that she slept too much in the middle of the night. It was just because she was overthinking.
In the second half of the night, there was movement outside. Feng Yu was awakened by a burst of noise. He had not slept soundly. When he woke up, he saw that several people in the room had already sat up.
Under the dim moonlight, neither of them spoke, but quietly listened to the movements outside.
Feng Yu also sat up. He wanted to ask what was going on, but remembered Pan Cao's words and did not dare to speak. The four of them sat in the room, and from time to time there were rapid footsteps passing by outside, and they were frightened when they heard it.
Zhang Xiuxian touched the edge of the window with his bare feet. He stared outside and there was no movement. Feng Yu also touched it quietly with his bare feet.
The house they lived in was empty at the bottom. When you came up, you had to climb a ladder. From the height, you could see a long distance outside. There were scattered torches outside the windows. They gathered many people in an open space.
Feng Yu was fascinated by this scene. He had never imagined this scene. The people in the reservoir village were very strange. Every household had arrived, each holding a box in their hands. If you look closely, they seemed to be walking zombies, and their eyes were not open.
Feng Yu secretly cursed, Damn, are you sleepwalking? No way?
The light from the torches is limited, and the field of view that can be seen is almost all like this. It is very creepy. People in this village hold a box in the open space for a meeting in the middle of the night?
At this time, Pan Cao said in a very low voice: "They are performing sacrifices to the underworld twice a week. They will be like this at night, but most of them are unconscious. I was scared when I first came here, but as long as I don't wake them up,
It’s nothing serious.”
"I asked, what are they holding? Is it valuable?"
"It seems to be some kind of wood. I have never seen it before. It is covered with knots. I guess it was fished from the lake."
People in the open space began to come forward one by one to worship, holding boxes, looking extremely weird. The feeling of a walking corpse was completely without thought. Feng Yu looked at the scene and it seemed familiar, and there seemed to be pictures flashing through his mind.
.
The next second, he thought of Han
In the king's tomb, he had seen exactly the same sacrificial scene in that illusion, and he himself was one of them. The person worshiping on the stage was none other than Yamu, the mother of King Haiyue.
Thinking of this, Feng Yu couldn't help sweating down his spine. Could it be that the person they were offering sacrifices to was also Ya's mother?
Driven by curiosity, Feng Yu had to find out. Seeing that there were no more people outside, he made a gesture to Bai Ran and Pan Cao, which meant that he wanted to go over and take a look.
It was impossible to stop him at this time. Feng Yu wanted to know whether the sacrifice they made to the underworld had something to do with Ya Mu.
The village was very quiet, because I came out barefoot, and my footsteps were very light.
After getting closer, he could see more clearly. Those people had their eyes closed and were holding a wooden box in their hands. In order not to alarm them, Feng Yu kept the distance to about a hundred meters.
The methods of sacrifice are almost the same as those in Feng Yu's fantasy world. This is very strange and indescribably weird.
Zhang Xiuxian's eyes were wide open. It is usually rare to see such a scene. A whole village stayed awake most of the night while sleepwalking to perform sacrifices. Those who didn't know it thought they were hit by evil spirits.
Feng Yu wanted to get closer and see the contents of the box clearly, but in the dark, his vision was very blurry. Zhang Xiuxian whispered, "What are they using to worship this thing? Why does the thing in there look a bit like a human head?"
This is actually what Feng Yu wanted to say. Pan Cao said that the things in the box were fished out of the lake, but they looked like round things like human heads.
"No, I have to go and find out."
Zhang Xiuxian nodded. The two of them went through life and death together. It was considered a life-long friendship. As he said that, the two of them walked forward smoothly.
Feng Yu looked back and saw that Bai Ran and Pan Cao were nowhere to be seen. He didn't think much and continued to approach the group.
With about twenty or thirty meters left, Feng Yu smelled a very strong fishy smell, which made people feel very sick. It was emanating from the box.
When I got closer, I saw that the thing in the box was a round piece of wood, covered with rotten material, and the wood was covered with pustule-like things. At first glance, it looked like a bloody human head.
Zhang Xiuxian was shocked. He had never seen anything so disgusting. It might be some kind of witchcraft object. Each of these people was holding such an object, which was beyond expectations.
Feng Yu remained motionless after looking at it, hesitating in his thoughts.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Xiuxian was shocked when he stepped on an underground branch, and a crunching sound broke the original tranquility.
Then came the eyes that turned towards each other. Although these people had no thoughts, they were zombie-like creatures. They broke their sacred sacrifice and immediately exploded.
Zhang Xiuxian half-climbed on the ground in embarrassment, smiling at the person who turned around, "Well, by mistake
There will be a misunderstanding, please continue, leave me alone, and continue."
The difference between Feng Yu and Zhang Xiuxian was only five meters. In this way, their positions were completely exposed.
He was really afraid of what would happen. I don’t know how many times this happened. Feng Yu wanted to scold his mother, but before he even had the chance, those people rushed over like zombies attacking him.
Zhang Xiuxian seized the opportunity and scolded her, "Her grandma, run away, they are all stunned."
The two ran out quickly. Zhang Xiuxian ran for his life very fast. They had no direction. Pan Cao said that no one could save them after disturbing them. If this is true, he is really greedy for something big.
Feng Yu secretly cursed Bai Ran and Pan Cao, what should they do? What happened to the people of Reservoir Village?
It was very dark, and I lost my direction not long after I ran out.
Zhang Xiuxian said: "Are you looking at our tenderness and want to sacrifice us?"
"Don't be poor. Let's not talk about whether you are young or not. The sacrifice must be true."
"Damn it, Ya'er provoked someone. Did you see what was in the box? Why didn't you see Wang Ding acting like this during the day? How come he changed his face?"
Feng Yu had no time to pay attention. The people behind him were chasing him like crazy. This was more stressful than a zombie chasing people. They were dead before, but now they are alive!
The two of them ran until they reached the end of the road. They had already reached the edge of the village. Beyond that was a forest, and Huaxian Ancient Lake was at the other end.
At this time, Bai Ran and Pan Cao appeared right in front. Pan Cao looked angry and scolded: "I told them not to disturb them, but you just didn't listen. Now, even I will be implicated."
, there’s nothing about the damn thing that makes people worry.”
Bai Ran asked them to go to the other side of the lake for shelter. There was no other place to go now. Maybe by chance, they would get something unexpected.
Zhang Xiuxian complained: "His grandma, we are blind. I am not telling you that you, the old man, have lived here for so many days, how come you haven't even figured out the most basic situation?"
Pan Cao immediately yelled: "You melon boy, I know very clearly, but you don't know the importance of things. Now it's better. Go to the mountains to escape for your life. You can't live in a nice house, so you have to do it yourself."
Bai Ran didn't say much nonsense, he ran forward directly. Smart people don't wait for danger, but make preparations before danger comes.
When I ran into the forest, the chilly humidity was very heavy, but it was not cold. Except for the darkness, everything else felt normal.
Bai Ran led the way with the lamp on. This scene seemed similar to Feng Yu's, as if that scene happened yesterday. Zhang Manyue, Zhang Xiuxian, and the three of them were walking on the vast Xing'an Mountains. Looking back on the past scenes, they suddenly seized the opportunity.
Feng Yu's eyes were wet.
It turns out that the older you get, the less you can think about the past.
