Chapter 45: The Valley Encounter

 "Oh, Zhengye, drive more carefully!"

Password five six three seven four three six seven five

Yan Wei covered her head, which had just hit the roof of the car, and grimaced in pain.

"The opponent's speed is too fast. If I drive slower, I will lose him!"

Zhang Peng's mouth twitched: "I also admire your driving skills."

Kong Sang, the co-pilot, was very calm: "What I admire even more is, where did you get a car from?"

"I'm just borrowing it. After I use it, I will go to church to confess."

"Isn't this confession...a bit cheap?"

"No, no, no, God loves the world. As long as we sincerely repent, the Lord will forgive our sins."

"..."

Kong Sang rested her chin on her head and muttered: "But seeing how Xia Wan was releasing the black mist and her posture, I thought she would fly away with Granny Xiu. I didn't expect that she would also be driving."

"..."

This time, the others were speechless.

Yan Wei couldn't help but said: "Do you think that the most powerful people can fly into the sky and escape from the earth?"

This time the short seller was surprised: "Huh? Isn't it?"

"...Kongsang-kun, what you are talking about is a novel about cultivating immortals. Besides, even if you can fly, how far can your Taoism carry you? You are dreaming."

"Don't talk about us. Even Chen Tao, who is recuperating, there are not many division commanders in Maoshan who can fly for a long time and can fly faster than a car."

"Then the Yin Qimai I met in Xiangxi before flew away, didn't he?"

"So, you have to be an old monster to do it." Yan Wei rolled her eyes: "According to your logic, all of us will die."

"Okay, it seems like I've been poisoned by novels about cultivating immortals."

"I said you guys are really leisurely and relaxed." Liu Zhengye, who was driving, had an expressionless face.

"Let's think about what we will do when we meet Xia Wan and Granny Xiu teaming up later."

"It's already tricky enough just to lower the shroud's head. Add in Xia Wan, who may be evil, poisonous, and fall into the city, and it's enough for us to drink."

Kong Sang looked out the window and murmured: "I'm thinking, is Xia Wan going back and forth this time because of us? Or is she doing it on purpose?"

"Huh? What did you say?"

Kong Sang waved his hand: "It's nothing, I was just thinking about it. He Meng, how is it? Is it coming soon?"

He Meng looked at the pocket watch device in his hand and said, "It's almost done. Let's park the car nearby."

"If we are not hostile and want to retreat, the road here is wide and it is easier for the car to drive out. Moreover, the car is too loud and it is easy to alert the snake. Who knows if Xia Wan has any other helpers."

Everyone also thought it made sense. After the group of five people got out of the car, they followed He Meng's guidance and arrived little by little at the valley where Xia Wan parked her car.

In front of me, a bonfire was set up on the huge altar.

The twelve lifelike statues seem to be full of spirituality in the firelight.

From time to time, a ball of fire will explode in the campfire, and the sparks will not go out even if they fall to the ground.

In just a moment, the entire altar was like a flaming star map, magnificent and beautiful.

Xia Wan and Jiang Xuechan stood at the position of the butterfly mother in the middle of the altar.

The two of them seemed to be murmuring something. Xia Wan was kneeling in front of the bonfire, holding a wooden sign in her hand, with a very pious demeanor.

Jiang Xuechan was holding a musical instrument in her arms, playing and dancing. The silver jewelry and bells on her body also made crisp sounds, mixing together to form a strange song.

"What are they doing?"

Kong Sang observed for a moment: "It should be some kind of ceremony. The dancing woman is holding an ancient harp, which is a representative musical instrument of the Miao people."

"When the Miao people hold major ceremonies, they often use Lusheng, Night Flute, and Gu Xiaoqin."

"That's it...but this altar is so strange." Yan Wei couldn't help but said: "Why is there a butterfly in the middle? Is there a god about butterflies?"

"This is a Miao mythology." Kongsang explained: "In their system, the goddess cut down the maple tree, and the heart of the tree turned into a butterfly, and the butterfly laid twelve eggs. They are the twelve eggs around the altar.

The prototype of the statue.”

"The one that looks most human is called Jiang Yang. He made his sister out of eggshells, and that's how Jiang Yang created a human."

"Jiang Yang is also regarded as the father god of the Miao people."

Kong Sang looked at Liu Zhengye: "During college, I also studied some religious and national history. This ceremony seems... not very dangerous. At this point, even as a watcher, I can't feel it.

What kind of hostility?"

"Even so, there is a high probability that Xia Wan is carrying someone else's life. Let's go take a look first before talking about it."

With that said, the five people came to the entrance of the valley.

"Buzz..."

As soon as the five people stepped into the valley, buzzes rang out in the surrounding dense forest.

In a dim environment, although everyone's vision is blurred, they can still feel that the buzzing sound is getting more and more harsh.

"Yan Wei, set fire!"

"Okay!"

Under the swarm, fire light shot out quickly, and everyone could see their surroundings clearly through the light.

It turns out that the surrounding area has long been surrounded by bees!

Yan Wei turned her palm over, and the flames spread out like a ring of fire! Part of the bee colony was directly burned to ashes.

The rest seemed to be afraid of the flames and only dared to fly in groups but did not dare to step forward.

...

Jiang Xuechan, who was undergoing the ceremony, frowned: "These people are so fast. They arrived much earlier than we planned. It seems that you have been tampered with."

Xia Wan suddenly became anxious: "What should we do? Now is the critical moment!"

Granny Xiu immediately said: "Old lady, I will go outside to stop them."

Jiang Xuechan thought about it and said, "That's not appropriate. Granny Xiu, you are old after all. It will be very difficult for you to fight against five young people who are in their prime. If you lose your hand, the ceremony will be interrupted and it will be impossible to recover."

"In this case, Xia Wan, go and block them, and let your mother-in-law kneel down and worship Mother Butterfly instead of you."

Grandma Xiu nodded: "Yes, old lady, I can still do things like praying and reciting mantras."

Xia Wan nodded gratefully.

Grandma Xiu said in a deep voice: "But you have to be careful, those five people have complicated schools and even have official backgrounds! Even if you are a higher-minded person, don't take it lightly!"

"Thank you, mother-in-law."

The moment Xia Wan pulled away, Grandma Xiu immediately filled the gap. Seeing that the bonfire beside Mother Butterfly had not changed much, Jiang Xuechan breathed a sigh of relief and continued with the ceremony.

In front of the valley, Kongsang and others drove away the bees and crossed the jungle.

Yan Wei directly acted as the lighting, and under the firelight in her palm, there was a dense patch of grass in front of her.

"There seems to be no cover from here to the altar in the distance. Is there another trap?"

"There should be. The bee swarm just now is probably one of their methods, but it is not as ferocious as the Gu insects. I am afraid it is just for warning."

Now that summer is approaching, everyone is wearing relatively thin clothes. When walking through the grass, they all feel some itching.

"It seems there are a lot of snakes, insects, rats and ants here, we..."

Before Yan Wei finished speaking, Kong Sang made a gesture to signal everyone to be quiet: "It seems... is there any sound?"

Soon, everyone heard a "rustling" sound, as if something was moving through the grass.

"Hiss...hiss..."

Amidst the weird sounds, red light spots lit up among the grass.

There were more and more light spots, and they were getting closer and closer, and the weird sound was particularly prominent in the silent night sky.

Yan Wei popped up a fireball. The fireball exploded in the air, and the splashing sparks illuminated the prototype of the light spot with little rays of light.

"Damn, there are so many snakes!" Yan Wei was immediately startled.

Everyone's expressions also became solemn. The snakes in front of them were colorful and of different sizes, and they were all obviously poisonous.

Moreover, each snake has a strong Yin energy on its body, and its eyes are anthropomorphic with a hint of vigilance. They are not ordinary species.

"I thought you would definitely find this place, but I didn't expect you to come so quickly."

In the darkness, Xia Wan slowly approached.

Wherever they went, the poisonous snakes twisted their bodies and moved to both sides. They raised their bodies slightly and bowed their heads, just like the guards paying homage to their queen.

Liu Zhengye said with a hint of scrutiny: "This is snake poison, and it's a very powerful type."

Xia Wan's face was expressionless: "I have no obligation to answer your questions."

"The case of Wang Xin and Wang Meng requires you to come with us. Of course, you can rest assured that we are just looking for relevant personnel to collect evidence. Not yet..."

"No need to go, I was the one who killed Wang Xin and Wang Meng." Xia Wan interrupted Liu Zhengye coldly.

Liu Zhengye didn't expect the other party to admit so simply: "What about the girl in the fast food restaurant and the people who died inexplicably at the comic exhibition?"

Xia Wan raised her eyebrows: "What does the death of those two people have to do with me? It's not because Wang Xin, that good-for-nothing, was bewitched by yin magic and opened up his inner desires."

There was a trace of anger in Liu Zhengye's eyes: "Do you dare to say that the evil Gu card has nothing to do with you? If it does, it is because your evil spell hurt Wang Xin's mind. Even if it is not your own hand, it is an indirect evil, isn't it?

?!"

Xia Wan chuckled: "Are the people in the Department of Good and Evil really so unreasonable?"

Kou Kou five six three seven four three six seven five

"You only see me killing people, why haven't you thought about why I kill people? Or, in your eyes, are we and other people who have mastered evil laws destined to kill people like crazy?"

“Do you so-called ‘officials’ take it for granted that you are on the side of justice?”

Liu Zhengye wanted to speak, but was stopped by Kong Sang.

Kong Sang stepped forward and said: "You are not the one who warned me through illusion when we were in the courtyard."

"You don't have the aura of being a ghost traveler either. You have a helper, he's probably the one dancing on the altar."

"That person is your support and the person who warned me."

"We probably know about Wang Xin's evil Gu card. Thinking of you and that evil Gu card, I'm wondering, are you doing this for the sake of your children?"

Xia Wan's breath was suffocated, and her eyes were gloomy: "What exactly do you want to say?"

"I would like to ask, will this ritual harm other people?"

Xia Wan was silent for a moment and said, "If the ceremony goes well, no."

"What if it fails?"

"...will not fail!"

Looking at Xia Wan's clenched hands, Kong Sang knew what he was doing and continued: "The Department of Good and Evil will indeed deal with all the strange forces and chaos that harm people. As a consultant of the Department of Good and Evil, I will naturally take this as a dogma."

"But, I still have a position."

"One more?"

"I'm still the watcher, and I'm a member of the Ten Divisions of the Yin. So strictly speaking, the person at the altar who helped you complete the ceremony and I are considered a team, right?"

"What do you mean?!"

"I want to know the reason why you killed Wang Meng and Wang Xin. I want to know what happened to the four people who died."

"For us, it's not like you just kill them and we can call it a day."

"The reasons and motivations will become the reasons for the investigation and will also become the factors that determine our next actions."

Kou Kou Wu Lu彡⑦④彡LU⑦五

A fierce light flashed in Xia Wan's eyes: "Are you threatening me?!"

"I'm not threatening you, I just can't figure it out. On the one hand, you don't want us to find you, but on the other hand, you deliberately left evidence."

Xia Wan's eyebrows jumped: "I don't know what you are talking about!"

"As an upright witch, even if you kill Wang Xin and then Wang Meng, don't you know how to escape? Living in Shangjing, you must know that the Department of Good and Evil will soon find you. ."

"But when you left, you left so much evidence behind."

"Mirror, ring, human blood rouge, human skin paper. Plus Wang Xin's diary, every reason put together is enough for us to find this place."

"I believe that as smart as you are, if you are willing, taking these away will not be a problem, and destroying Wang Xin's diary will also be very simple."

"But you didn't do that. It seemed that you ran away in a hurry and forgot to take it with you. However, the civilian staff of the Department of Good and Evil came to find you the day before us! You had time to destroy the evidence and leave easily!"

Xia Wan was silent. She was thinking about how to refute this statement, but Kong Sang didn't give her time to think:

"Then, by the same token, the person who warned me in the courtyard really didn't want me to come, or was she using this to motivate me and ensure that I would definitely come?"

"Perhaps, her illogical appearance, even risking her identity being exposed, was not to stop me, but to further involve me, a shady person. Right?"

Xia Wan was completely silent. This behavior seemed to be acquiescing to what Kong Sang said.

"Then the problem is, you want us to track here, but you prevent us from going in and interrupting the ceremony."

"Obviously, this ceremony is very important to you, and the outcome of the ceremony may also determine the choice between you and us."

"But you seem to be surprised now, which means we came too early."

"Maybe in your mind, it's best for us to come when the ceremony is over, right?" Kong Sang asked a series of questions: "Xia Wan, what is your purpose?"

"Frankly speaking, if we fight with you now, no one can predict the outcome."

"Then what? What if we win? Then the ceremony will inevitably fail."

"But it seems you can't bear the consequences of failure. Instead of doing this, you might as well tell us the truth first."

A little knowledge:

Password 563743675

The mythological system of the Miao people is actually a bit complicated.

For example, the traditional system of the Miao people uses Mother Butterfly as the main heart and Jiang Yang as the father god.

But there are also Miao people in western Hunan who believe in other gods.

For example, Nuwa Empress, or Nuo Gong and Nuo Mu.
