Wu Ma was worried that Liu Yousheng's mother would not be able to see the scene of the dead, so she asked Liu Yanzhi to stay at the ancestral hall to take care of her while he and Yuwen Jianxue went outside the gate.
As he walked, he told Yuwen Jianxue roughly what he had speculated in the ancestral hall, but he changed the story of Journey to the West into myths and legends that he had heard in the past.
Yuwen Jianxue compared the scene she saw at the broken stone monument, thought about it, and felt that what the dancing horse said was very reasonable. Then she wondered whether the marriage could be saved since the divine decree had found a way out, and the two of them tried to find a way
Rushing to the broken stone monument, the divine decree was broken, and he came out of the illusion without having to face such an embarrassing scene.
But I really wanted to discuss this matter with Wu Ma, but I felt that since I had agreed, it would be bad to regret it so easily.
Besides, Aniang still has high expectations for herself. Thinking of what Aniang said to the memorial tablet of Sheng Aye in the ancestral hall, and seeing her heartfelt joy, Yuwen Jianxue really couldn't bear to give up.
She was disappointed.
In this confusion, she followed the dancing horse to the door in a daze.
I saw a dense crowd of people gathered here. The scene was already in chaos, and no one cared about the newlyweds who came out wearing red robes today.
Yuwen Jianxue squeezed into the crowd and saw an old woman holding a human head and crying loudly. The human skin had also been peeled off, cut into square pieces, and thrown aside.
Then someone said: "This boy was originally waiting to snatch the bride with Yousheng, but Yousheng was called away by the old lady. He couldn't wait any longer, so he came out to set off a firecracker, but he didn't expect..."
Yuwen Jianxue looked at the man's head, and immediately remembered it, and said to Wu Ma: "That time you were attacked by an evil tiger, and my mother insisted on following you to save you, so this man carried her there."
Wu Ma said nothing. Yuwen Jianxue felt a little uncomfortable, but it was difficult to say anything more.
Things have become like this, and the marriage will definitely not happen. When Yuwen Jianxue thought of this, she couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, and said to herself: "It's not that Aye has a spirit in the sky, telling me that I can't get this marriage. That's right, I
We should not have gotten married since we have not avenged our great vengeance." Even though I thought so in my heart, there was always something strange and unspeakable about it that I couldn't explain.
Most of the people in the village gathered here, fearful and noisy. Some said they should catch the tiger as soon as possible, while others said that since the evil tiger could come to the village, it was not safe anywhere, so they should run away quickly.
Yuwen Jianxue then thought that for several years since he and the dancing horse came to Liujiazhuang, the evil tiger had never been allowed to enter the village. Today it came in arrogantly and killed people and skinned them. There was probably only one reason - the mother-in-law opened the ancestral hall and removed the tiger.
The warm air was let out.
This is the power of God's will. As long as you find a way to survive, you will never be able to feel at ease for a while.
It suddenly occurred to me that even though the evil tiger had entered the village, looking at the situation in front of him, it seemed that he was only killing people alone.
This is not good - Aniang and Liu Yanzhi are still in the ancestral hall, and it will be terrible if they are watched by the evil tiger.
When he looked up again, the dancing horse had already returned to the yard, probably thinking about himself.
When the two arrived at the ancestral hall, they saw A Niang alone inside and Liu Yanzhi was missing.
"Where is Yanzhi?" Yuwen Jianxue asked hurriedly.
"Someone called me in the yard just now. Yanzhi went out to take a look."
"Who called it?"
"A young boy with a very familiar voice, but I couldn't remember who it was for the moment."
Yuwen Jianxue went to look for Liu Yanzhi again, looking around the front and back of the courtyard, but couldn't find anyone.
Just as I was worried, someone came back with news that another person had died in the yard next door.
Yuwen Jianxue's heart sank, thinking that it must be Yanzhi.
Wu Ma asked her to go next door to see what was going on, and Wu Ma called her and the old people in the village to settle down.
Yuwen Jianxue hurried to the yard where the new deceased was found, only to realize that it was Liu Mang's mother who was eaten by the tiger this time.
The situation of Liu Mang's family is similar to that of Liu Yousheng's family. They are both orphans and widowed.
Then I heard someone say: "Poor Grandma Mang, she also said she wanted to find a wife for her son, but it didn't work out. Poor mother, how can she be so lucky as a winner?"
Several people went to look for Liu Mang and searched all over Zhuangzi, but could not find him, so they suspected that he had been eaten by an evil tiger. Two members of the family died in the blink of an eye, and everyone was shocked and frightened.
Later, there were more and more news about dead people. There was a family of three who were all eaten by tigers. Three heads were hung at the door of his house. People passing by were so frightened that their legs became weak and incontinent.
Wu Ma quickly gathered everyone in the village into the courtyard of Yousheng's family, but it was not a long-term solution. He then heard him and Yuwen Jianxue say:
"I suddenly figured out what the second image of the divine decree means - that is actually the condition for the failure of this divine decree. As long as everyone in Liujiazhuang dies, this divine decree will be considered a failure. You see, since the fight
With the opening of the ancestral hall, there are no more taboos for the evil tiger to kill people. This is God's intention to speed up the progress. We have stayed here for too long."
Yuwen Jianxue recalled the image in her mind: corpses were lying on the ground in Liujiazhuang, and the evil tiger was slowly walking among the corpses with a human head in its mouth.
Then he asked: "What will happen if I fail? I don't know what the punishment will be."
"The divine decree has not prompted us, so there should be no punishment. But the reward of light balls, similar to the illusion of the Skeleton Academy, must be gone. We have been here for so many years in vain."
Yuwen Jianxue thought for a while, forgetting about rewards or anything, what is more important now is that this divine decree clearly wants the lives of everyone in Liujiazhuang.
"We now have two options,"
Wu Ma said: "First, leave Liujiazhuang. When everyone is dead, the divine decree will end in failure. The good thing is that there should be no danger for the two of us."
"But," Yuwen Jianxue said, "can we both be considered people from Liujiazhuang?"
"It doesn't count. Otherwise, God's will will not give a second image. In fact, this image is also a reminder from God's will to leave the illusion. It is equivalent to the last optional escape route.
Furthermore, it doesn’t matter if the evil tiger thinks that we are people from Liujiazhuang. We can take advantage of it to massacre the village and sneak to the broken stone monument. If the evil tiger’s purpose is to kill everyone, it will definitely break the stone monument.
Look for us, and the way to survive is right there.”
Yuwen Jianxue listened quietly to the sound of dancing horses. The sound was colder than ever before, "What about the second way?"
"Let's find a way now to lure the evil tiger to break the stone monument - there is no turning back if we choose this path."
Wu Ma looked at her with bright eyes: "This divine decree is your personal divine decree. I leave the choice to you. No matter which way you choose, I agree. However, there is one thing you must decide as soon as possible, because
Time is very tight.”
Of course Yuwen Jianxue understood the meaning of the dancing horse. Once the evil tiger was lured over, there would only be one left until it was dark, and it would either rush to the broken stone monument or die.
Wu Ma's voice was as cold as before, but Yuwen Jianxue once again felt the breath of a living person, and waves of warmth rushed over him.
"Go and break the stone monument,"
She barely hesitated, "Let's break the stone monument."
After staying in Liujiazhuang for so many years, Yuwen Jianxue has long become a part of the village. The kind people in this villa have brought her countless warmth. In the past few years, she has eaten at many people's houses.
After playing and laughing, the young girls all became good friends with her. Those scenes will become unforgettable experiences for her in her life. Because she lived too heavy a life in the past.
Especially Liu Yousheng's mother, she felt the care of her mother whom she had not seen for a long time. Even later, she regarded Yousheng's mother as her own mother. Now, it is time for her to use the warmth she feels
, all given back to the kind people in Liujiazhuang.
Wu Ma seemed a little pleased and smiled at her. Yuwen Jianxue suddenly thought that since entering the illusion of Two Realms Mountain, Wu Ma didn't seem to smile much. The last time Yuwen Jianxue saw his smile was a few days ago.
Years ago, after the Turks came back from a night attack.
"Very good," Wu Ma said, "Next, you have to listen to me. Since the evil tiger wants revenge, its goal is to kill everyone in Liujiazhuang. If you want to lure it away, there is only one way to completely anger it.
Leave it to me to lure it away, but I need your help..."
The two settled the matter, and Wu Ma left first and went to a different courtyard. When he turned back, he had an extra baggage in his hand.
"What's this?"
"Don't ask, you don't want to know."
Wu Ma saw that she also had a porcelain jar in her hand, so she asked, "What are you holding?"
"snort."
…
In a courtyard not far from Liu Yousheng's home, Yuwen Jianxue was huddled in the corner of the main room, with a porcelain jar in her arms.
This is the task that Wu Ma gave her - since the evil tiger is eyeing the lone person, it should create a bait.
Although she was in danger, Yuwen Jianxue didn't panic at all, just because Wu Ma said that she would definitely keep her safe. What Yuwen Jianxue was thinking about was more about Wu Ma's last words to her.
talk:
"After the evil tiger followed me, you should lead Aniang and everyone to leave the villa as soon as possible. You have to protect everyone's safety and keep walking east, as far as possible, and wait for my good news."
Yuwen Jianxue is not smart enough, but he also understands the meaning behind this sentence. After the evil tiger appears, the dancing horse will take it away. The subsequent dangers will be borne by him alone.
Yuwen Jianxue thought about Wu Ma's expressionless face. She couldn't figure out whether what was surging in this man's body was the cold bottomless sea water or the passionate blood.
She felt that the more she spent time with him, the less she seemed to understand.
The only thing she can be sure of is that today, she will be willful, selfish, and brave for once.
This time, she decided not to follow Wu Ma's arrangements. No matter how high the price was, she would never let Wu Ma fight alone.
She had had enough of the days when Wu Ma went into the forest alone and stayed alone in the villa waiting for the results. She no longer felt that helpless, hesitant, powerless, that feeling of waiting for the worst news at any time.
Don't endure it anymore.
She wanted to help him survive and make sure he was still alive as soon as possible.
Or, die with him. This is the pride of Yuwen Jianxue.
A black shadow suddenly flashed in from outside the courtyard and rushed towards Yuwen Jianxue.
As he pounced on her, suddenly, a thorn shot out from the paper window of the house and pierced the evil tiger's eye.
The evil tiger obviously didn't expect it. He hurriedly turned his head and one of his eyes was stabbed. A painful howl resounded through the villa.
Immediately afterwards, the dancing horse jumped out of the window holding the [Arrow-backed Porcupine].
The evil tiger opened its mouth and rushed towards the dancing horse.
The dancing horse stamped its feet and rushed to the wall. The thorns on the porcupine in its arms kept stabbing at the evil tiger.
The evil tiger dodged several times and chased after him.
One person and one tiger disappeared outside the courtyard wall.
Yuwen Jianxue lowered her head, opened the porcelain jar in her arms, and a strong smell of alcohol overflowed...
