"Xi Yue, if one day the mountain god is no longer here, please leave here, go see the outside world, and walk around the scenery we agreed on." On a rock, Yue'er nestled in Xi Yue's arms, she
His body has reached the limit of withering and disintegration, as if he is about to die again.
The tree vine girl relies on the spiritual power of men to support her body. Once she loses her body, she will return to the main body of the mountain god mother. It will take ten years to re-create her body again.
"No, there is no such thing as scenery without you. I will stay with you until I die and become a ghost." Xi Yue hugged Yue'er's shoulders tightly, "I won't
I understand why you refuse to accept my 'mosaic', so why not live a few years shorter for you, I am willing?"
"No, I don't want to face you with such a body, and I don't want you to overdraw your life. You should have a happy life, find a beautiful wife, and die in peace." Yue'er shook her head sadly. This was Yue'er's fall.
The reason why she is in this situation today. She does not want to hurt Xi Yue, nor does she want to serve other men besides Xi Yue. She chooses Thirteen out of sheer helplessness. In fact, she doesn’t know if something really happens, what will happen to her?
Can you persist until the end?
"Other than you, how can I hold anyone else in my arms? I only love you, live for you, and die for you. A few years of life are nothing. As long as I can be with you, even if I am sucked to death, I will die for you."
I am also willing." Xi Yue started to cry.
"Hold me tight, it's so cold." Yue'er closed her eyes.
"I can't stand it anymore." Shisan, who was resting aside, stood up, walked forward and cut Xi Yue's wrist with a knife, letting the blood drip into Yue'er's mouth, and Yue'er tasted the blood.
His face suddenly recovered a little.
"Is there really only one way to solve the problem? Do you really have to soak instant noodles to eat them? Will you die if you chew them dry?" Shisan complained, "Isn't it just about gaining spiritual power to make a living? Who can say for sure?
If you want to have sex, you can drink blood, chew on trees, or bask in the sun more.
I just can’t stand the way in martial arts novels, the male protagonist is so shy and poisonous that he has to have sex to get rid of the poison. The female protagonist is just slept with. If you have some brains, why don’t you masturbate?”
Thirteen clicks are equivalent to saving two lives. Looking at Xi Yue's appearance, if Yue'er really returns to the mountain god, he will probably hang himself or go to the mountain god for a duel. No matter which outcome is a "death"
"Character.
"How long until the Mountain God Festival?" Thirteen asked.
"At around 10 o'clock tomorrow night, what do you want to do, my benefactor?" Xi Yue had already changed his mind.
"Go and see before the Mountain God Festival that your mountain god is a monster. If you are lucky, you will destroy it. If you are not lucky, go out and call someone to destroy her.
Overall, there are still more than 30 hours, which is plenty of time. I advise you to stay as far away as possible and stay away from the Mountain God Area." Thirteen said with a smile.
"Benefactor, don't get close to mom. She is far scarier than she looks. This is the last year for him to awaken. Once he wakes up, the devil will be unstoppable." Yue'er's attitude towards Shisan, a pervert, also changed.
"The devil has been killed, and the gods seem to have seen it. Although I don't remember it, I am still alive at least, right?" Thirteen said with his cheeks pressed, "Gods and demons are not superior beings, they just live a little longer.
As long as you stand straight and kowtow to them with a trembling spine, gods and demons can be killed. Let's go..."
Thirteen climbed up on the wet stone path in the forest, but disappeared within a few seconds.
The Mountain God Festival is getting closer and closer, and the people of Huaizhai are very busy decorating lanterns and colors for this grand festival. They have replaced the white lanterns hanging on the stilts in the village with bright red ones, and have stickers on the doors of every house.
The mantra symbolizing the mountain god's blessing is like a Spring Festival couplet.
The children put on clean clothes and could eat the best food. Every household would also make special rice cakes and snacks. However, on the day of the Mountain God Festival, children under the age of 18 had to stay at home with the doors and windows closed.
They don't leave the house. The adults will pick up their own hatchets and hold them behind their waists. They wear white linen robes with the word "日" written on the back.
The strongest men in the village will chop down 3 old locust trees and use 3 new locust trees to build the shrine. The 3-meter-long, 3-meter-wide shrine weighs nearly 2 tons and requires 16 strong men to lift it.
OK. The old locust wood is hard and used to make the bottom of the sedan chair; the new locust tree wood is soft and carved into the platform of the sedan chair.
This sacrificial shrine is not so much a sedan as a huge coffin. The sacrificial girl will be placed flat on the sedan platform, surrounded by flowers, and the life of the girl selected as the sacrifice will be carved next to the sedan platform, like
The eulogy is average.
All the preparations are completed in one day, and the sacrifice will be directly performed on the second night. After the sacrifice to the mountain god is completed, Huaizhai will hold a running water feast for three days and three nights. This is the children's favorite celebration.
The people of Huaizhai believe that it is the mountain god who has blessed their ancestors with good weather and good weather, and granted them longevity and health. In fact, it does have something to do with it. The habit of tree burial has kept Huaizhai an area of high spiritual power, eliminating pests and diseases, and allowing the water and soil to be specially nourished.
People, if you don't live to be 1 year old in a place like this, you won't be able to say hello to anyone. Of course, except for those who often look for tree vine girls to show their love.
While everyone was busy with their work, Thirteen climbed up the cliff behind where the mountain god was in order to bypass the villagers and the mountain god. This was not a cliff to peek at the blue flower pond, but a real cliff 500 meters high.
.Looking up, it looked as flat as a mirror. Thirteen pulled out two sharp sabers, stuck them on the multi-speed spirit release machine, and climbed up like a gecko.
"I really don't know if falling to death counts as death in the line of duty?" Thirteen looked back and looked down, his heart beating involuntarily.
"Lin Xi, hey, did you hear what I said? Pack your things and be ready to run away at any time!" Thirteen pressed the communicator next to his ear. There was no answer but an interfering squeak. I guess this cliff has become a natural barrier for signals.
We can only go to the top of the mountain to see it.
It took a full 40 minutes for Thirteen to finally climb to the top of the cliff.
The mountain god of Huaizhai is standing on the top of the cliff. Thirteen has been in the Underworld Bureau for more than eight years and has seen countless ghosts and ghosts. Even the most unscrupulous ghost throwing soap can't startle Thirteen.
But what was in front of him left Thirteen speechless for a long time. A thick tree that needed twenty people to hug rose up from the ground like a building, towering into the clouds, and the leaves that spread out all around covered the area within a fifty-meter radius.
It has become a dead place that cannot be illuminated by sunlight, and there is no grass growing at the foot of the trees.
The trunk of the big tree was covered with bright red vines, wrapping its whole body like blood vessels. Countless red slender vines hung down from the branches, which were thirty meters long.
The whole tree is nearly fifty meters high, just like a smaller version of the Tree of Soul in "Avatar", and its branches and leaves are also bright red like maple leaves. What shocked Thirteen was not its hugeness and bright red, but
On its trunk, hundreds of gaps were cut out, and a human body wrapped in white gauze was stuffed into each gap. Some of the dead at the bottom of the trunk had ferocious expressions, and their whole bodies were wrapped in bright red vines.
, as if trying to crawl out from a gap.
These people are all young girls. Different from the custom of the dead in Huaizhai being buried under trees, they are all stuffed into the cracks of the trees while they are completely alive, and then killed and absorbed by the trees until they are assimilated.
How cruel a person must be to sacrifice his children to the mountain god and watch them slowly die in the struggle. Thirteen looked at the corpse of a ferocious man who had freed his arm from the vines, and couldn't help but hold the hand on the sword hilt.
rattling.
The specialty hatchet of Huaizhai is made from the wood chips produced by digging tree holes every year. The red trunk will turn from red to black 7 days after leaving the mountain god, turning into a treasure as sharp as iron.
"What kind of monster is this?" Thirteen stepped forward and touched the tree trunk, and unexpectedly discovered that there was a heartbeat beating under the trunk.
"In the eyes of you demon hunters, maybe she is a monster, disrespectfully called the Old Demon of Huaishan. But in the eyes of us descendants of the Sun Worship Cult, she is our supreme mountain god mother." Along the Mountain God Road.
, the old village leader Rob, with his hands behind his back, slowly walked over.
"You already know what I do?" Thirteen turned around.
"Although we have given up on the path of spiritual practice, I am not so blind that I can't tell the difference between practitioners and ordinary people. I know that the Bureau of Underworld Affairs has always wanted to set up an office in Huaizhai, but please thank Director Wu Zhu for me.
With good intentions, the people in Huaizhai can manage their own lives without the intervention of outsiders." Robert was polite and kind.
"Hehe, it seems that Wu Zhu has been tricked again this time. Such a blocked scenic spot is simply an abyss of moral decay..." Thirteen drew out Wang Mazi's long-edged blade, "I am a special agent from the Bureau of Underworld Affairs.
Paranormal Investigator, you are suspected of murdering Yue'er and multiple women. You must go back with me to assist in the investigation. Everything you say will become evidence in court. You have the right to remain silent and hire a lawyer to defend you.
If you can’t afford one, the Bureau of Underworld Affairs will assign one to you. Is there anything else you don’t understand?”
"Yes, the murders you are referring to are all sacrifices to the mother of the mountain god in our opinion, and according to our customs, the sacrifices must be living sacrifices, so I did not kill them." Robert stopped in the distance with a smile.
Thirteen was no more than 5 meters away, "But I have a murder case on my hands, that is, I killed Luo Tieniu, and I framed the blame on the mandrill ghost."
"Why did you kill him..." Shisan had just asked, and the answer had already appeared in Shisan's mind. But the calmness of Shisan who knew the answer was gone. He quickly pressed the communicator and shouted, "
Girl! Talk back! Girl!"
But there was no sound from the communicator... This time it was not that the signal was interfered with, but simply that there was no one on the other side.
"Son of a bitch! What did you do to the girl?!" Thirteen roared with a ferocious look on his face. It was obvious that Robert's purpose of killing his own people was to lure Thirteen out of the village and separate him from Lin Xi.
