The boy in front of Xuan Ming got up calmly without panic.

He picked up the cracked mask on the ground, looked up, and smiled like a spring breeze. He was not affected by the defeat just now.

"In the lower bodyguard of Chu Hao and Bai Erye."

He has a bright eyebrow and harmless humans and animals. He is undoubtedly a handsome young man.

"Female?" Xuan Ming was completely stunned, "Then why do you want to wear Bai Jue's clothes?"

"It's not convenient to tell me if you have official duties. It's a blessing for Chu Hao to be able to fight with the girl today."

hypocritical!

Xuan Ming cursed in his heart.

The tone and wording of her speech were exactly the same as that of Bai Jue. No wonder she recognized the wrong person.

However, Xuan Ming looked around and suddenly felt a chill in the soles of his feet.

"Then... where is the real Bai Jue?"

Swallows!

At this time, three fireworks appeared in the sky that was near dusk.

"No, the master is in danger." Chu Hao's expression changed and he immediately turned around and walked towards the hillside.

Xuan Ming shouted: "Hey! Where are you going? Who is in danger? Is it a general?"

Chu Hao turned around, "No need to ask more, come with me."

...

The night has arrived.

The southeast of the forest is bright and the fire is shining.

The wooden altar squeaked in the wind.

More than twenty people who were ignorant of men and women were surrounding the altar, chanting strange spells with their teeth and claws.

The torches lit from all directions are like the gates of hell, with ghosts lying around.

The moment Gu Wanqing opened her eyes, she almost couldn't tell whether it was sunlight or fire.

I just felt that the scene in front of me was as strange as if I was in the underworld, with evil winds gusts and smells fishy.

She was tied to a big tree, with her mask and robe scattered beside her.

Fortunately, my clothes are still there.

"Don't move!"

A weapon made of wood came to her side, pressing against her neck, which was enough to be fatal.

Looking at the slanted eyes, he was a middle-aged woman dressed in a strange manner, with fierce eyes.

She was wearing a wide and rough robe and cloak. Under the flashing fire, she could barely see that it was as green as the lake water.

In Yan'an City, no one can wear this way, and it is still in the summer.

Gu Wanqing only dared to touch her eyes and asked carefully: "This aunt... where is this?"

The middle-aged woman did not answer.

She asked again, "Who are you? Why should I catch me?"

The woman still didn't answer.

"What are the people on that stage doing? How?"

“…”

It can be seen that Gu Wanqing got no answer.

After she fainted, she knew nothing, but only remembered that she saw a man who called herself a mountain god.

In this gloomy environment, has she really encountered ghosts and gods?

Gu Wanqing narrowed her eyes and looked at the altar in front. The girl pretending to be a bride was lying straight among the group of people, surrounded by strange dances.

"Hey! Girl!" Gu Wanqing shouted.

"Shut up!" The middle-aged woman pushed the weapon in her hand a little harder.

"Okay OK."

Gu Wanqing shut up obediently.

In fact, the blade she left in her wrist guard had been pulled out by her.

The blade is specially made and extremely sharp.

Gu Wanqing has the habit of using hidden weapons, and it is impossible for me to tie her up with such a rope.

In a short while, Gu Wanqing had already untied the rope secretly.

The moment she let go, the middle-aged woman wanted to stop her with a weapon, but was stopped by Gu Wanqing.

Gu Wanqing smiled deeply, unscrewed the weapon in the middle-aged woman's hand, and pressed it against her neck, which was opposite to the moment.

She didn't make much noise and did not attract the attention of those people from afar.

"Aunt, don't move now. You should know how sharp this thing is than me." Gu Wanqing said.

The middle-aged woman swallowed, and her neck was so restrained by her force that she could not speak loudly.

"you!……"

"If you answer my questions, I won't hurt you."

"I'm just a guard, you... it's useless to kill me."

"Where is the guard?"

The strength of Gu Wanqing's subordinates increased, and the weapon pierced a bloody mark on the middle-aged woman's neck.

The woman felt pain and hurriedly replied: "Sacrifice, sacrifice!... It is a sacrifice for the mountain god. The sacrifice has not been completed and cannot be interrupted..."

"Are you talking about Nan Yan's annual sacrifice?"

"No... it's a sacrificial priest in our village, and we want to sacrifice the bride to the angry mountain god..."

Gu Wanqing was even more surprised, "There are only hunters here, and there are no villagers here on the tax list. Why are you lying?"

The woman said: "I did not lie... The mountain god is already angry. As descendants of the mountain god, we must soothe the mountain god's anger..."

"How to soothe?"

"The bride sent by Yan'ancheng was burned,"

Gu Wanqing was shocked, "Burning a living person? It's ridiculous."

Moreover, the role of the bride is the lover of the mountain god, why do you need to burn it?

Will gods also let mortals be buried with you? Is this a god or a monster?

“When will the sacrifice be held?”

"In half an hour, the sky fire will come and let the bride return to heaven."

Gu Wanqing only felt that the woman was inconsistent with her preface, but she didn't seem to be lying when she looked at her expression.

"Forget it, you can sleep."

Gu Wanqing raised her hand and pointed her acupoint, and the woman fainted on the ground.

She quickly took off the woman's robe and covered her.

The sacrifices in the distance seemed to be still in progress, and no one would notice her running away for a while.

And the bride is still lying on the altar and needs to be saved.

...

The night sky is colorful and the moon is sparse.

The reflection of the stars and moon in the water was reversed, and a pair of steps passed by gently. The illusion suddenly became chaotic and then calmed down again.

Gu Wanqing wore a green robe and moved quickly in the darkness.

The altar was surrounded by these people and could not take action, for fear of being injured by weapons.

Moreover, the fire is flashing and dark, making people feel uncomfortable in their sight.

It is very far from the dilapidated mountain temple, almost in a deep depression in the entire mountain, and there are indeed sporadic houses.

There are tools for chopping wood and hunting in front of the house, as well as laundry tubs.

This shows that there are indeed a group of people living here who are isolated from the world.

It's like a paradise, not known to anyone else.

It’s a pity that this place is gloomy and terrifying, and there is no fairyland at all.
