Thick plasma hung on their faces, and their eyes seemed to have turned a dark crimson color.
Luo Jiutian retracted his hand, stared at the two of them warily, and began to retreat.
When his right foot was still half a step away from the door, the man jumped up from the ground and rushed over.
"Steady Rock Thunder!"
A golden light hit the man's chest, and at the same time, a black figure flew over from the right. Luo Jiutian turned around to block it, and suddenly felt a sharp stinging pain on his right arm.
The man's wife landed gracefully, with her limbs lowered, licking the blood on the nails of her right hand and looking at Luo Jiutian greedily.
Luo Jiutian quickly raised his right arm and took a look. The woman's attack just now left a shallow scar on his arm, and bright red blood was overflowing from the wound.
After tasting real living blood, the eyes of men and women became more earnest and dangerous.
Gotta get out first.
"Steady Rock Thunder!"
This time the golden light hit the ground in front of the two of them, kicking up a thick layer of dust.
Luo Jiutian ran away after the fight. Taking advantage of the dust, he turned around and ran out of the bedroom. Following the route in his memory, he ran towards the door as quickly as possible.
Behind him, two footsteps approached very fast. Luo Jiutian couldn't even take a breath. After he opened the door and rushed into the yard, the first thing he did was to turn around and shoot a solid thunder at the door frame.
The fragile porch of the house collapsed under the blow, crushing the two people inside under the broken bricks and rubble. Luo Jiutian did not relax. After leaving the yard, he ran wildly for a while on the road where the fog was getting thicker.
Then he panted heavily and slowly stopped.
"Oh my god..."
Luo Jiutian simply bandaged himself, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and walked forward looking around.
The fog floating in the air was thicker than before. Looking to both sides from Luo Jiutian's position, he could only distinguish the vague outlines of the houses on both sides.
He looked back and made sure that the two men were not chasing him, and then he felt relieved.
As a result, when he looked back, Luo Jiutian was horrified to find that several figures emerged from the thick fog ahead.
Luo Jiutian hurriedly ran to his right side. Fortunately, there was an unattended vegetable garden on his right side. Now the vigorous wormwood had grown to half a person's height. Luo Jiutian hid here and kept praying.
Those "people" don't see themselves.
The figure gradually became clearer.
It seems... there are a lot of people.
indeed.
The footsteps of many individuals.
In addition, there seemed to be some strange musical instrument-like sounds.
Two middle-aged men in black clothes walked at the front, walking past Luo Jiutian without looking away. They each held something in the shape of a suona, and the strange music came from here.
But, this is not a suona sound.
It wasn't that loud, it was longer and deeper, and it made Luo Jiutian's neck feel cold after hearing it.
Behind the two men were two long lines, all of which were men in black. The men looked ahead blankly.
They were also holding something upright in their hands.
Luo Jiutian squinted his eyes and looked at those things.
Those rod-shaped objects were about one person tall, with pointed tops and a cold light.
That's the blade.
Luo Jiutian shivered all over and quickly squatted lower.
What are these two rows of men with knives going to do?
It didn't take long for the answer to appear.
When Luo Jiutian was concentrating and thinking with a sense of crisis, a big thing slowly appeared in the fog. The thing was carried on the shoulders by four men in black, and they staggered past him.
It’s a sedan!
Oh My God……
Have you traveled through time?
Even in an ancient capital like Wenjing, I have never seen sedan chairs.
The sedan was bright red and looked out of place among the men in black around it. It was simple in shape and looked as if it would fall apart in the next second.
Luo Jiutian took a closer look and discovered that the curtain on the front of the sedan was actually nailed shut. A circle of red nails sealed the curtain tightly, making it impossible to see what was inside.
But he didn't really want to see it either.
I guess...it won't be anything good-looking.
When the sedan arrived in front of him, the person carrying the sedan on the right tripped over a stone. The sedan tilted suddenly, and the floating curtain on the side flew up.
No, it didn't fly.
A pale hand suddenly raised the floating curtain, and an equally pale face appeared. In the sedan was a white-faced woman with tears streaming down her face. The woman cried loudly in the direction where Luo Jiutian was hiding.
.
"Help me! Help me!..."
Luo Jiutian didn't react at all and was only shocked.
Are you talking to yourself?
Has it been discovered?
She...she's calling for help.
I want……
A man in black who was guarding the back of the sedan reacted. He stepped in front of the woman, raised the long knife in his hand, and stabbed the woman in the face.
"ah!--"
Blood suddenly burst out on the woman's face, and the white-faced woman instantly turned into a red-faced woman.
The woman shouted and pulled back the floating curtain. Seeing this, the man withdrew expressionlessly and returned to the original position of the team.
The queue continues to move.
Luo Jiutian covered his nose and mouth tightly, widened his eyes, and watched the two rows of figures gradually disappear into the fog.
It took a full five seconds for him to feel the presence of his body again.
God, I was so scared.
He glanced a few times in the direction where the queue disappeared.
What are those people for?
The weirdness of this village exceeded his imagination.
After the short-term fear subsided, huge curiosity surged out.
Sigh——Looking at the formation just now, it should be something related to the village.
Is it some kind of sacrifice? Punishment?
Luo Jiutian raised his numb left foot and shook it while looking at the fog ahead.
Do you need to go see it yourself?
But...it always feels like I'm seeking death.
But going up to this Fire Lotus Mountain is enough to commit suicide, right?
Now that you have chosen to commit suicide, let's follow through.
Luo Jiutian stood up furtively and followed the strange music.
It didn't take long for the queue to reappear.
Luo Jiutian kept a safe distance from the team and followed quietly.
I want to see for myself, where are they going?
This seems to be the direction to the ancestral hall.
Are they going to send that woman to the ancestral hall?
No, it's not.
Luo Jiutian saw the outline of the chimney from a distance. The queue passed in front of the ancestral hall, bypassed it, and continued walking along the dirt road.
Go, go, go, go.
Finally, the queue slowed down.
Stopped.
Luo Jiutian hid behind a willow tree and looked around.
There is actually a lake!
The queue stopped in front of a lake. There was a pile of firewood in the open space in the middle of the willow trees.
A gray stone coffin lay flat beside the firewood.
The stone coffin is shaped like a rolled-up petal, with the lid open, waiting for its next fate.
