People travel through the heavens, playing infinite roles

Chapter 199 Chapter 199, Worshiping God
Walking on the quiet path of the strange village, Chu Yun took Tu Shan Yaya by his side and explored the strange village.

Instead of rushing into the house, he roughly explored the village, and found that "this village seems to have been deserted long ago."

The doors of every house were tightly closed, and there was no light inside. It was extremely dark. Chu Yun once probed in with his spiritual sense, but found that there was no one there. The situation in every house was the same.

It wasn't until the two of them came to the end of the path that there was a difference. At the end of the path stood an ancient temple with candles lit inside. It looked a little dim, but it still dispelled the darkness, reflected from the window paper on the temple door. out.

The ancient temple in front of me is the only place in the whole village that is lit with fire.

"However, this ancient temple is located at the end of the village path..."

Chu Yun stared at the ancient temple in front of him that reflected the light of fire, feeling puzzled.

Tu Shan Yaya didn't think too much about it, and said carelessly: "What are you still doing in a daze? Go in!"

The ancient temple in front of her was the only place in the village that was lit with fire. She felt a little tired from the journey, and instinctively wanted to go in and have a good rest.

The firelight projected through the window is very warm, much better than the other dark houses in this village. If she was asked to choose a place to rest, she would definitely choose the ancient temple in front of her.

I don't know how long this ancient temple has been abandoned, and it hasn't been visited by people for an unknown period of time. Dust and dust have accumulated everywhere in sight. , There are spider webs under the corners of the eaves.

Chu Yun walked forward vigilantly, and gradually approached the ancient temple. With the sound of "squeak", the two dusty temple doors were pushed open, and he stepped over the threshold, and the scene inside came into view immediately.

On the high stone-based tribute platform directly in front, stands a statue of a god, the whole body is dark and glowing with a faint purple light.

This is a man standing with his hands behind his back. His facial features are handsome, his face is as sharp as a knife, there is a hint of arrogance between his brows, his eyes are piercing, and there is an undeniable majesty in the depths of his eyes.

Although it was only a stone statue, he was carved lifelike, with the arrogance and indifference of a high-ranking person, and a powerful aura pervaded his body, quite a bit of the charm of the original owner.

"The material of this statue looks familiar. I seem to have seen it somewhere..." Chu Yun's eyes moved slightly, and he couldn't remember it for a while, so he simply stopped thinking about it. Looking down, it was a long dark brown strip Tribute table.

Dust had already accumulated on the tribute table, and it seemed that no one had worshiped it for many years, and the dishes containing the tribute had long been smashed to the ground, breaking into pieces of porcelain one after another.

There was a candlestick on the table. The flames that Chu Yun and Tu Shan Yaya saw outside were emitted from the candlestick on the table.

The candles on the candlesticks were burning slowly, a cluster of red flames flickered slowly in the quiet ancient temple, and might be extinguished at any time.

In such a deserted village, it is strange that the candlesticks on the tribute table are still burning.

After all, if this is really a deserted, uninhabited village all year round, how can this candle still be burning after so many years?Could it be that someone is replacing it?
But soon, the question in Chu Yun's mind was answered. He stared at the candle that was burning slowly and flickering on the top, and found the clue.

As time passed, although the candle continued to burn, the candle did not show any sign of melting, nor did it decrease in the slightest.

"This candle never seems to go out..."

Realizing this, Chu Yun didn't put too much energy on this place, his eyes quickly swept around, there was nothing unusual, very calm, except for the candlestick on the tribute table, everything else was similar to this deserted place. The villages are on top.

In line with the fact that no one has lived there for many years, the gaps along the walls around the ancient temple have been covered with clumps of dead grass. On its surface, a few weeds grow tenaciously from it.

The atmosphere of desolation and decay permeates the surroundings, which is very in line with the current scene of the village.

Suddenly, a silver light sprang up from a dark corner and swept towards Chu Yun silently.

Tu Shan Yaya exclaimed: "Be careful!"

The speed was so fast that what Tu Shan Yaya could catch was almost an afterimage, and it was impossible to see what the silver light was.

The speed was so fast that the naked eye couldn't catch it at all, and it was close to Chu Yun's eyes in an instant, so close!
Tu Shan Yaya's heart trembled suddenly, her straight chest was propped up, and she seemed to be able to see Chu Yun's blood splattered three feet!

But soon, she relaxed with that heart, and saw the silver light passing straight through Chu Yun's face.

His speed is very fast, but not as fast as Chu Yun.

The figure disappeared in the blink of an eye, and when it appeared, it had already come to another direction. Chu Yun's eyes turned cold, and he pulled out the natural teeth from his waist without any hesitation, and swung the knife.

The purple crescent moon-shaped underworld instantly emerged from the void, releasing a terrifying devouring force outward, and the incoming silver light was stopped immediately, trying to escape but it was too late.

It neighed in horror, it was a small silver snake, and at the moment it was swallowed into the Ming Dao, Chu Yun could clearly see the realness of that silver light.

The sudden crisis was quelled.

"Hey, there seems to be something engraved there." At this moment, Tu Shan Yaya suddenly pointed to the stone wall on the left and cried out in surprise.

Chu Yun looked in the direction she pointed, and saw some words engraved on the stone wall on the left, densely packed and neatly arranged. These words seemed to tell the history of the ancient temple here.

Tu Shan Yaya walked over slowly, and with the help of the candlelight, she saw these stone inscriptions clearly. When her eyes fell on them, her mouth opened little by little, and her small face was full of sluggishness. What is it? I can't understand it at all!"

Tu Shan Yaya, who was so depressed, didn't know a word of the characters carved on the stone wall. She was so annoyed when she saw that she almost rushed up to scratch these evil characters!

"The gods came to the world to protect our village."

At this moment, Chu Yun came over, Tu Shan Yaya turned her head after hearing the familiar voice, tilted her head, and asked suspiciously: "Dead wood, can you understand the words on it?"

Chu Yun approached, glanced lightly at Tu Shan Yaya, who was full of doubts, and said lightly, "I tell you to read more."

You insist on marbles... He said silently in his heart, but didn't say it to his face.

Did you call... Tu Shan Yaya opened her rosy mouth slightly, with a dazed expression on her face, and couldn't remember when Chu Yun said this to herself.

What a stupid fox... Chu Yun glanced sideways from the corner of Chu Yun's eyes, and Tu Shan Yaya, who was thinking seriously, actually said that sentence just once, that is, the time just now.

However, this stupid fox's head, which has not been used all the year round, probably started to think back from the first time they met, and I don't know how long it took to think about it.

Looking back, Chu Yun stared at the stone wall in front of him with the light of the candlesticks lit on the tribute table, and explained: "In the ancient times, this village was tortured by monsters, and the villagers suffered unspeakably. However, on a certain day, a true god descended, and he beheaded and killed the monsters that were raging here."

"Therefore, the villagers built this temple to worship the gods for generations."

This is the origin of this temple.

"That stone statue seems to be the true god who visited the earth in the past."

Chu Yun glanced at the words engraved on the stone wall again, "There is no record of the name of the true god."

In other words, the true god who came here may have happened to pass by here and killed the beast...

When Chu Yun was thinking in his heart, Tu Shan Yaya had already stared at a pair of big eyes, and asked faintly: "Stinky wood, how do you know this kind of word?"

Speaking of this, she seemed to have thought of something, her small mouth suddenly opened into an oval shape, and suddenly said: "Oh! I see, you must have made up what you said just now!"

There was a confident expression on her little face. At this moment, she seemed to be possessed by a famous detective, thinking that her guess must be right!

"Yes, it must be so! What this wood said just now must be made up!"

Chu Yun's eyes were calm and turbulent, and Tu Shan Yaya, who was smug and confident in his own reasoning, glanced lightly from the corner of his eyes, and said lightly: "This is the text of the underworld."

Tu Shan Yaya's small face froze immediately, the smug expression slowly dissipated, his eyes were full of sluggishness, obviously he hadn't recovered, "Uh... If this is the underworld writing, then he seems to have really read it. Gotta understand!"

It is not surprising that the Lord of the Underworld knows the words of the Underworld.

Tu Shanya pursed her lips, suddenly feeling a little tired, her white jade arms like lotus roots were bent and raised, and then slowly straightened, her small mouth was slightly opened, and when she was about to stretch, Chu Yun's voice It was already ringing in my ears: "Go out and have a look."

Inadvertently just now, his eyes swept across the black shadow that suddenly flashed past the window.

"Oh."

Tu Shan Yaya pouted depressedly, she wanted to rest after going through so many things, she was too tired and sleepy.

But if she is left here alone, Tu Shan Yaya thinks that her drowsiness will disappear quickly, "The atmosphere of this village is very strange, just staying in it will make you feel uncomfortable."

If Chu Yun wasn't by her side, she wouldn't be able to sleep.

Following behind Chu Yun, Tu Shan Yaya stepped across the threshold and looked towards the way he came from like Chu Yun, his pupils suddenly enlarged slightly, and he couldn't help but gasped: "Hiss, when did they appear? !"

They naturally refer to the villagers here.

In the line of sight of the two of them, the path they came from was the direction of the village entrance, and a large group of villagers gathered. They formed a circle along the withered banyan tree, chanting words, but they couldn't understand what they were chanting anyway. Something, like a bunch of spells.

"Sacrifice..." Chu Yun looked at the scene in front of him and had a guess in his heart.

Not only that, but even the houses located on both sides of the path are strangely lit by candlelight at this moment, the dust accumulated on the windows and doors has disappeared, and the houses that come into view are completely new, clean and refreshing, as if there are people from time to time clean.

It was obviously dark and dusty and defeated before, why is it completely changed now?

The lights were brightly lit, and there were even more people. How could the village they were in at this moment still have the deserted and lonely look before?
It is clearly a bustling and busy village with many villagers.

"This weird village seems to have changed at a certain time just now..."

The moment he thought of this, Chu Yun looked back subconsciously, and his calm eyes moved slightly. As expected, the whole village changed in a certain moment.

I saw that the ancient temple in front of me was also completely new, completely different from the previous ruined appearance.

The dust accumulated on the temple door and window paper disappeared, the corners of the eaves were no longer covered with cobwebs, and the paint on the door on the steps showed a bright red color.
The stone bricks inside were no longer cracked, and healed directly, and the broken dishes on the tribute table reappeared at this moment, filled with juicy melons and fruits.

Has it changed from ruin to grandeur... When Chu Yun was thinking about it with downcast eyes, Tu Shan Yaya stretched out her small hand and tugged at his sleeve, and said in a low voice, "What should we do now? Continue to stay in the temple ?”

"I'm afraid that temple is not so easy to stay in. Go and meet them." Chu Yun glanced at the ancient temple, which was obviously more dazzling than before, then withdrew his gaze and walked forward leisurely.

It is better to take the initiative than to accept passively. Dodging means escaping, and escaping has never been a way, and Chu Yun has never been a person who will evade when things happen.

Walking on the path, there are houses with candlelight on both sides, which should bring hope and warm light to people, but at this moment, these lights look extraordinarily weird, even with a hint of eerie chill.

Tu Shan Yaya unconsciously developed small bumps all over her body. She clasped her arms and rubbed each other to keep warm. An inexplicable fear arose in her heart. Looking at the figure of Chu Yun in front of her, she hurriedly followed, muttering in her heart: "This guy is here It's quite reliable at critical times..."

Only by following closely behind Chu Yun can she not be so panic-stricken in such an eerie situation.

Soon, under the leadership of Chu Yun, the two came to the large vacant area in front of the houses in the village, and a short walk was the exit of the fence, surrounded by endless gray mist.

And the current area is where the villagers worshiped.

Chu Yun looked forward, and the villagers in his line of sight were dressed in strange clothes, which were different from those in the Central Plains. They had the meaning of Miao Jiang costumes. They were more or less hung with some silver ornaments, including earrings, bracelets, bracelets, Without exception, they are all made of silver.

In addition, there are some villagers' Miaojiang costumes with some silver decorations, such as some bells or matching rings.

The villagers in front of them were next to each other, forming a circle around the banyan tree and kneeling on the ground, praying devoutly, chanting words, and ancient incomprehensible spells were recited from them.

And in the circle surrounded by this group of villagers, there is an old man, holding a black cane in his hand, with his eyes closed, and the villagers are also chanting incomprehensible ancient spells in his mouth.

"This status should not be low in the village, and I guess it is at the same level as the high priest or the village chief..." Chu Yun recognized it at a glance.

The reason is very simple. The old man with a black cane was not only surrounded by the villagers in the center of the circle, but also was different from the villagers kneeling on the ground and chanting a spell, he was still staggering and jumping around The... well, jump master.

That's right, it's Tiao Dashen. When Chu Yun saw the scene in front of him, the first thing he thought of was Tiao Dashen.

The old man surrounded in the middle of the circle had his eyes closed, his lips trembling, and his body was still playing with some strange dancing postures, straightening his waist for a while, and lowering his head for a while to do the movements before wrestling.

"Isn't this the great dancer?" Chu Yun thought to himself.

While the old man in the middle of the circle was doing weird dancing poses, some silver ornaments hung on the Miaojiang costume he was wearing were also dancing with him, shaking and shaking, making noises like bell.

"boom!"

With the old man's loud cry, the sacrificial ceremony was over. He slowly opened his eyes, retracted his hands raised to the sky, and the villagers who formed a circle around the banyan tree also slowly stood up.

At this time, the old man, who had just finished the sacrificial ceremony, glanced out of the corner of his eye and noticed Chu Yun and Tu Shan Yaya not far away.

There was a hint of doubt in his eyes, as if he didn't understand why the two of them appeared here, but soon, he smiled suddenly: "The two should be foreigners, right?"

Chu Yun nodded slightly, without changing his face, as calm as ever, while Tu Shanya beside him was silent, his small face was full of vigilance.

"The visitor is a guest. It's very dangerous outside. Why don't you two stay overnight in our village first, and leave when the fog outside the village clears tomorrow?"

The old man smiled and proposed to stay with the guests very enthusiastically. There was a kindness on his wrinkled face, and his kind eyebrows and eyes were nothing more than that.

"We will then……"

Upon hearing the old man's proposal, Tu Shan Yaya was about to refuse immediately, but was stopped by Chu Yun, who looked at the old man and said, "That's troublesome."

"No trouble, no trouble."

Leaning on a black cane, the old man smiled and waved his hands to signal to Chu Yun that you don't have to be polite, and said, "It's been a long time since anyone from outside our village has been here. It's a blessing for our village that the two little friends are here. We are too happy Well, why bother?"

"That's good."

Blessings... Chu Yun smiled at the corner of his mouth, and his calm eyes inadvertently glanced at the withered banyan tree with no green leaves on its top. This banyan tree has not changed at all.

It's like the sacrifices made by the villagers just now, sacrificed to loneliness, and it didn't have half the effect at all.

"Could it be that this priest is just putting on a show, asking for psychological comfort?"

"Or maybe this priest is missing some important key steps, which makes it seem useless."

Chu Yun's eyes were deep, and he had two thoughts in the blink of an eye. Withdrawing his thoughts, he looked at the old man in front of him and said, "I don't know, old man, what is your status in this village?"

"Old man, I am the village head of this village, and I will preside over the usual sacrifices." The old man with a stick smiled and responded, revealing his identity without the slightest concealment.

The status of the village head and high priest is indeed not low... Chu Yun nodded slightly.

At this time, the villagers who had knelt on the ground and prayed also gathered around curiously: "You are foreigners, where are you from?"

"Hee hee, little brother, you look so handsome, I wonder if you are married?"

"Hey, you rascal, you can't help but get angry when you see a good-looking one. Hurry up and go home, don't embarrass our village here!"

The surrounding villagers talked to each other, and the atmosphere was suddenly very cheerful and lively.

These villagers are very enthusiastic, just like the village chief, except for the few women who kept looking at Chu Yun with their gazes, the rest are staying guests.

"Brother, why don't you stay here tonight?"

"Yes, yes, there have been no outsiders in our village for a long time."

Enthusiastically extended an invitation to Chu Yun and Tu Shan Yaya, asking them to stay here to rest for one night before leaving tomorrow, but Chu Yun smiled and nodded in silence.

"Cough cough."

At this moment, the village head clasped his fist and coughed twice, the cheerful atmosphere disappeared suddenly, and the silence was extremely quiet, and the villagers who were still talking enthusiastically shut up all of a sudden.

It can be seen that the village head is very dignified, at least in this village.

Seeing the surrounding atmosphere quiet down in an instant, the village nodded with a smile, obviously satisfied with its majesty, then looked at Chu Yun and Tu Shan Yaya, and said:
"According to the custom in our village, there will be a bonfire party after the sacrifice. If you don't mind the trouble, why don't you two join us?"

"Well."

Chu Yun nodded calmly, but Tu Shan Yaya didn't have any objections, anyway, she listened to Chu Yun now.

At this juncture, it is more appropriate to listen to Chu Yun in everything. Although Tu Shan Yaya is very reluctant to admit it, she also knows in her heart that Chu Yun's brain is much better than hers.

The bonfire party started quickly. Everyone in the village, as well as Chu Yun and Tu Shan Yaya, sat around the bonfire not far away and divided into groups.

From time to time, you can still see men and women sitting together and leaning on each other. Obviously, this bonfire party is a good time to develop relationships.

Beside the bonfire in front of you, young women wearing silver ornaments are dancing there, their graceful dancing postures and graceful postures complement each other, and they are quite moving when they dance.

The silver decorations hanging on the clothes jingle with the shaking of the dancing posture, making a pleasant bell sound.

When paired with some good food and wine, it's bliss indeed.

"Little friend, was there any attractive woman in our village?"

At this time, the village chief who was sitting not far from Chu Yun asked with a smile.

Tu Shan Yaya answered first: "He already has someone!"

This refers to Dongfang Huaizhu, but the village chief who doesn’t know Dongfang Huaizhu smiled, looked thoughtfully at Tu Shanyaya who was the first to answer, and said with a smile: “That’s a pity. It is estimated that there are many women in the village, and their hearts will be broken because of the little friend."

Chu Yun ignored the other party's teasing, and said in a low voice, "Does the village chief ever know the origin of the fog outside?"

As soon as these words came out, Tu Shanya's eyes lit up, and a bright starlight flashed. She was also very interested in this topic.
