I picked up a god on the roadside 21
Without the protection of the Dragon God, filthy things become more rampant
Tens of thousands of ghosts floated out of the river, standing on tiptoe with strange smiles on their faces. Their death faces were different, some were wild beasts, some were birds, and more were countless ancient humans.
Ghosts crowded around ghosts, and in the silent silence, they surrounded Lu Li, who was wearing a wedding dress, and headed towards the mountain.
"jingle"
The dull yet clear ringing of bells echoed throughout the world. The purple flowers by the river fluttered spontaneously. In the center of the slightly exposed cracks in the soil, countless corpses lay, their roots inserted into the bloody soil below, sucking nutrients.
Makes the fragrance more intense
Lu Li pinched his thigh hard, closed his mouth and held his breath, turned around and ran back, pushing away the ghost with a weird smile, looking up at the dark and sticky sky with difficulty, bending down and groping out a very long leg bone from the river water under his feet, and then he scattered the ghost next to him.
The runes on the tip of the tongue became brighter and brighter, gradually surrounding Lu Li, causing the surrounding ghosts to retreat rustlingly, surrounding Lu Li in the center of the small circle, stretching out his leg bones. Lu Li looked back at the Dead Mountain and whispered
"I won't let you succeed easily, don't underestimate me"
Facing the ghosts' rigid blockade, Lu Li raised his hand and swung his stick again and again. Combined with Xin Wu's remaining strength, Lu Li successfully walked ashore, carefully avoiding the thorny vines, and continued to move forward.
The further you go, the stranger it gets.
He saw many bizarre sights.
At this time, they were already far away from the purple flowers. Lu Li's face gradually turned pale. He inhaled a lot of fragrance and relied on the extremely stimulating smell to run out of the Shangfu Mountain area.
Now his body was empty, the runes had become dim, his thighs were bruised from being pinched, and he gasped for breath when touched.
Lu Li squatted down to rest for a while and then stood up immediately and walked forward crookedly. Subconsciously, he still did not go near the area around Shangfu Mountain. Until he entered the territory of Shili Village, Lu Li gradually felt better.
It seems that the farther away from the mountain, the less affected by the mountain. Lu Li thought calmly.
I walked all the way until I entered a deserted village. At the entrance of the village, there was a dilapidated signboard with the words "Shili Village" written in ancient seal script.
Lu Li took a look and walked in. The fog became thicker and thicker. In the distant empty space, a dull bell sounded.
The Shili Village in the dream was in a dilapidated state. Every household was just an adobe house, and some were even thatched houses. The scale was very large. Even the ancient well in the village that had dried up long ago was still there. The color next to the ancient well was very bright, and it looked like it had just been repaired.
This is not the Shili Village in Lu Li's memory, but rather the Shili Village of ancient times as described by the old people.
From the beginning to the end of the village, Lu Li observed for a long time and entered many houses to check.
Many rooms still bear traces of human activity: rice cooking on the stove, grain drying in the sun, unfinished clothes, and uneaten meals.
The person seems to have disappeared out of thin air for no reason.
Walking to the end of the village, Lu Li observed the huge locust tree forest on the right side of the village for a long time.
He continued to walk to the left without stopping until he saw a huge temple that suddenly appeared here.
The big bell in the temple makes a "dong dong" sound, which is distant and lonely.
After hesitating for a while, Lu Li walked in and saw several young people kneeling in the temple to worship. There happened to be three men and one woman.
Because they were facing away from each other, Lu Li couldn't see their faces clearly. He only knew that they were kneeling and worshipping the gods non-stop. Their voices were urgent and their ancient pronunciation was low, so Lu Li couldn't hear what they were saying at all.
Lu Li took a few steps back. Could it be a ghost?
I looked up again, wanting to see who was enshrined in the temple, but I only saw a hazy scene, and the appearance of the deity was blocked.
Lu Li continued to retreat and stopped studying
There are many dangers here. You never know what will pop up. You have to be cautious and find a place to enter Xinwu's territory.
Unfortunately, before I even took a step, I heard a noise behind me.
A woman came over and patted his shoulder in surprise.
"Young Master, are you also here to burn incense?"
Lu Li's shoulders stiffened, and he turned around to see a simple and pretty peasant girl. He couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
Nod
"That's great. The mountain god likes handsome young men the most. Come quickly!" The peasant girl smiled and waved.
Lu Li looked at her strong hands and simple smile, and walked up to her without saying a word.
"Sir, why does this dress look so much like a wedding gown? The color is beautiful, and the material feels comfortable. I'm afraid you bought it in the city, didn't you?"
The woman said enviously, poking the poor scholar in coarse shorts beside her and said shyly
"Brother, buy some for me too!"
Lu Li looked down at the red dress that had become within reach, and subconsciously wanted to take it off. When he heard the woman's envious voice, his eyes flashed.
"Buy, buy, buy. When my brother gets the top score in the imperial examination and returns home in glory, I will definitely buy it for you." The scholar smiled and put his arm around her waist and agreed.
Looking at the scholar's obviously exaggerated steps and dark eye bags, he was obviously a drunkard who only knew how to speak sweet words. Lu Li couldn't help but feel sorry for the woman.
Sure enough, the next second he heard the woman angrily say to him
"My brother always lies to me. No, you have to buy it for me when we get out!"
"Okay, okay, buy it right away." The scholar looked around and saw that no one spoke, so he quickly coaxed the woman.
Seeing this, Lu Li deliberately tried to test
"Miss...I wonder if you like this dress of mine? I can give it to you for free, how about that?"
The peasant girl's eyes lit up immediately, but she was a little worried and said, "Sir, I really can't bear to ask for your things for free."
"It's okay, I have many similar ones at home, you can just take them directly, it's better than asking this brother to buy them for you again."
Lu Li continued to work hard, glanced at the scholar, and continued to seduce with a smile on his face.
"This is really embarrassing, what do you think, brother?" The peasant girl shyly covered half of her face with her sleeves and tapped the scholar's thin back with her elbow.
The scholar smiled and looked at Lu Li, then coaxed him with his eloquent tongue.
"Just keep it if I tell you to. I'll buy more for you after we get out, okay?"
The peasant girl glanced at him in reproach, then happily took it over, caressing the smooth and delicate material like satin in water with her hands, and took out a silver hairpin from her sleeve and handed it to Lu Li.
"Sir, I have received such fine material from you, but I don't have anything valuable to exchange for it. This silver hairpin is the dowry my mother gave me. Now I am using it to exchange for your dress. Although it is not expensive, it is also a token of my heart. Please accept it."
The peasant girl covered her face and bent down to apologize. Lu Li took the hairpin from her hand in a daze. Just as he was about to say thank you, he saw a big empty hole on the peasant girl's head, and her brain was full of wriggling maggots.
Lu Li lowered his head and said in an unsteady tone, "Thank you very much...Miss."
"Hehehe, I am the same"
