The paper bird, holding a paper lantern, flew steadily to the vicinity of the action team.
The small lantern is only as big as a bowl, but it can just illuminate the way for the crowd.
Xiao Zhou also noticed that there were talismans pasted under the lanterns, which dispelled the evil spirits gathering in the cave.
As an action team that knows the truth about the ghost realm, anyone who still can't see that Chu Mu has real abilities is a blind man.
The rising star who had screamed earlier walked quietly to Xiao Zhou's side and said, "Little brother, you and Chu Mu are very familiar with each other, right? Can I stay with you tonight?"
The action team consists of both men and women, and in principle the men are separated.
The new rising star had seen Xiao Zhou and Chu Mu talking privately a few times. She was sure that Xiao Zhou would have something good for Chu Mu. If nothing else, he would definitely have an amulet. As long as she followed Xiao Zhou around, she would be able to get some benefits, right?
Xiao Zhou saw what she was thinking and was about to refuse when the sedan chair procession in front suddenly stopped.
"Dear guests," the matchmaker said in a much more polite tone than before, "We are about to enter the second cave, Minshan Cave. The second cave master has many rules, so please remember not to offend."
“First, there is a curfew in the village, and people are not allowed to go out after the sun sets;
Secondly, the chief of the village does not like ugly people, so guests can go to the village to buy rouge and powder;
Third, from the second cave onwards, every villager believes in the Immortal Lord. Upon entering the cave, guests are also requested to recite scriptures and offer sacrifices.
As soon as the three rules came out, a new round of discussion began in the live broadcast room:
[It's interesting, a supernatural plot combined with a strange storyline, it's quite a playful one, my national television station.]
This should have been done a long time ago. Look at China, with all the bans on this and that, directors can't get good scripts approved even if they want to shoot them. It's too restrictive.
[Yes, spring comes when a hundred flowers bloom. I support it!]
This time, "The Most Beautiful Central Continent" should be a stepping stone for decision-making. It's so popular, everyone has a live broadcast room, and it's quite impressive.
【It would be great if I could be selected to participate in the show. 】
[Is your profile picture your fault? Forget it, you're just a new idol, just wait and see.]
[But Chu Muliandao hasn't officially debuted yet, he's still a trainee, and yet he's not only in the cast, but judging by the signs, he's definitely going to be the center of the show.]
[Well, from today on, Chu Mu is officially granted the title of King of Chuzhuang (Pretentious), the number one pretentious person.]
The celebrity guests of the action team are all already well-known in the entertainment industry.
Except Chu Mu.
Those in the fan circle can’t stand resource-rich people the most, and the words they say are getting more and more sour.
Thus, Chu Mu became the electronic King Zhuang of Chu without his knowledge.
After walking down the cave for half a day, everyone's eyes suddenly lit up.
After passing through the deep cave, there is actually another world.
This is a village hidden deep in the valley. It is not really appropriate to call it a village.
Because it was unexpectedly large.
Chu Mu lifted the curtain of the sedan chair, and all he could see was a dense forest that had maintained its original ecology. Outside the dense forest, he could see stilt-style buildings of various sizes, and further away, there were towering mountains.
What is this place? It's a bit like Journey to the Center of the Earth.
[Botanists are here to tell you that the plants here are all extremely rare and ancient species, the kind that would have to be put in a museum if they were found outside.]
[It doesn't make sense. How could such a magical place have never been discovered by hikers before?]
I've been to Miao Meng Shisandong, and it's just an ordinary Miao village, with direct buses to tourist attractions. It's nothing like this, isn't it?
Chu Mu murmured, "It seems that this is the real Miao Meng Thirteen Caves."
The Miao Meng Thirteen Caves in the real world are, as netizens have said, just a few Miao villages with nothing special about them.
However, on the departure plane, Xiao Zhou told Chu Mu that the Miao Meng Thirteen Caves had existed in two time periods in history.
The Miao village in later generations was built three hundred years ago, and all the information can be matched with the local chronicles.
In fact, before this Miao village, there was an earlier Miao Meng Shisandong.
It was probably built in the Northern Song Dynasty a thousand years ago. Historians cannot explain who built it and why it disappeared.
The opportunity to discover it was during archaeological work in a mysterious ancient tomb.
That ancient tomb was very strange, and many archaeologists died there.
Xiao Zhou's father was the person in charge. He didn't believe in evil and was about to go to the tomb himself when a Taoist priest in yellow clothes came uninvited and told him that the tomb contained the last master of the Miao Meng Thirteen Caves.
"The Miao Meng Thirteen Caves defied human ethics and the laws of nature, and were punished by heaven with genocide. However, the evil spirits are hard to change, and if they are released, it will be a catastrophe."
Xiao Zhou's father was a complete materialist at the time. He refused to listen to advice and actually opened the tomb.
He was found dead in bed the next day.
In his hand he tightly clutched a piece of silk book, on which was written a line of blood-stained characters: The Thirteenth Cave Lord has appeared in the world, and will be granted the title of Gui County as soon as possible.
A blood line crossed out the word "county" and changed it to "province".
The country at that time did not realize the seriousness of the situation and did not take it too seriously.
Chu Mu analyzed that Hong Wentao should have started to do evil at that time.
As the ghost who has lived the longest in this world, Chi Ruisi is probably the only person who knows about the deliberately covered-up Miao Meng Thirteen Caves.
He raised his eyebrows, and there was a hint of evil in the corners of his dark eyes.
Ever since he was taken advantage of, Chu Mu didn't want to even glance at him, and naturally didn't notice anything unusual about Chi Xiusi.
"The wedding sedan has arrived—"
The ghost matchmaker's voice returned to its previous sharp and piercing tone, as if she could find some kind of shelter in this place.
Chu Mu lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and was about to jump down.
Chi Xiusi pulled the person back from behind.
"What are you doing?" Chu Mu glared at him.
"I'll carry you down from the sedan chair." Chi Yusi went down before him. "I'm your servant, and it's my duty to serve the young master."
Live broadcast room:
【This man is such a dog! 】
[Don't listen to him, Chu Maomao. Look at how smart he is. He doesn't look sick at all!]
[Oh my goodness, why did he let me carry you on his back? Mommy won’t allow it!]
Chu Mu lay on Chi Xiusi's back, letting the tall and slender man carry him towards the village.
Of course, he was not deceived by the dog man as netizens thought, he just simply didn't want to be betrayed by the ghosts in the village.
The village was not small. Chi Xiusi carried Chu Mu on his back and walked from the beginning to the end of the village, and then passed through a bamboo forest before reaching his destination.
This is another relatively grand courtyard building. Compared with the stilt houses in the village, one can tell the status of the building at a glance.
The back of the courtyard is backed by a mountain, and on both sides are stilt houses like sentry posts, closely guarding the only entrance and exit.
"The bride is here." The gate of the house was wide open, and a group of people came out to greet her with laughter.
This is a group of paper-made people, with their bodies supported by thin bamboo poles and two red spots painted on their pale faces.
"Please ask the bride to dismount."
Centaurs treat humans as livestock.
Chu Mu raised his eyebrows, inexplicably feeling that this description was quite apt.
