Chapter 26
Chapter 26
The sedan chair stopped at the gate of the courtyard.
Against the backdrop of the dim light, the shadows of the villagers' teeth and claws shone on the ground.
Amidst the "cracking" firecrackers, Qi Wuyuan lifted the car curtain and was choked by the dust raised by the firecrackers and coughed twice.
Chen Ye took a step forward with no expression on his face, took the initiative to hold Qi Wuyuan with his cold palm, and led him carefully towards the yard.
The villagers who were dripping with sticky river water waved their swollen arms in a gesture of welcome, all of them had red eyes and wanted to stare at Qi Wuyuan to death.
Qi Wuyuan was brought into the main room by Chen Ye, all the villagers were isolated in the yard, the main room door was open, and they were all crowded outside the high threshold.
Half of the white curtains in the room fell in vain, and there were two tablets placed on the table in the middle.
The marriage procedure went smoothly, and when the audience in the live broadcast room were curious about where Qi Wuyuan was going to make trouble, he and Chen Ye had already finished worshiping.
The atmosphere suddenly eased, and everyone became beaming.
After worshiping, Chen Ye was next to Qi Wuyuan, and the dressed-up Mrs. Chen squeezed into the main room from the courtyard.
At this time, Mrs. Chen looked very old, without the exaggerated makeup on the paper figurine's face, dense folds fell on her face, and her sallow face was full of age spots.
She had shrunk to less than 1.5 meters tall, leaning on a crudely crafted cane and walking into the main room with her back bent "Boom, Boom, Boom".
Qi Wuyuan looked at Mrs. Chen, he was a little surprised - Mrs. Chen was still alive.
Although Mrs. Chen is already very old, she is indeed still alive.
As the only living person in the entire village, he has been living here.
Mrs. Chen looked at the couple in front of her, and said in an old voice vaguely: "I heard that the paper bundles I made before are gone?"
"The rules and regulations in the village must be strictly abided by. If the customs are broken, there will be no luck."
Aunt Chen spoke harshly intermittently, and an old woody smell that hadn't been dusted off spread from her body, like a pool of stagnant water.
Although she is still alive, anyone with a discerning eye can feel that Mrs. Chen is not angry at all. The only difference between her and a dead person is that she is still able to breathe.
"Fortunately, I found out, and quickly helped Aye prepare a new paper bundle."
As soon as the words fell, Mrs. Chen tapped on her crutches.
The candles lit in the main room were blown out by a gust of wind. Under the dark sky, the atmosphere in the main room became more and more dull.
An exquisite building made of paper bundles was carried into the hall by two villagers.
The swollen body did not hinder the dexterous movements of the villagers. The paper bundles were placed firmly on the left side of the main room, and Qi Wuyuan could clearly see the lifelike workmanship of the paper bundles as soon as he raised his eyes.
Aunt Chen nodded in satisfaction after seeing the paper tie back in place.
"Without the paper tie, you are offending the mountain god by getting married."
Mrs. Chen moved the crutches in her hands, and preached: "It's all right now, you can continue."
She turned around and straddled the threshold with difficulty, and walked out of the main room.
While listening to Mrs. Chen's words, Qi Wuyuan secretly looked at the new paper bundle not far away from the corner of her eye.
The paper bundles placed in the house completely reproduced the architectural appearance of the entire Aigong Village, with an unbelievably high level of detail.
The Chen Family Courtyard made out of paper sticks vividly resembles weddings, weddings and weddings.
The yard is full of paper figurines of the villagers who came to eat, paper figurines of the bride and groom standing in the main room, and even the coffins were made.
Taking a closer look, the little paper figurines wearing Li Ming's clothes were also standing in the yard with the villagers, with purple blush on their faces.
In a family not far away, an old man made of paper was drying something—a paper man who looked very similar to Wen Yao was hooked on a clothes hanger and was about to be hung on a high railing.
A circle was drawn around Wenyao's neck with a red pen, and the red line ran from the neck through the chest and all the way to the paper figurine's feet.
As soon as the strong wind passed through the main room, the little paper figurines that resembled Wen Yao were tied on the paper and scattered along the red line into several pieces.
"Grandma, what is that, it's so beautifully made."
A crisp child's voice sounded outside the door, and the little girl who was held by her grandmother in the crowd raised her bone-exposing finger and pointed at the paper bundles in the room.
As soon as the little girl finished speaking, her grandmother slapped her hand down: "Don't point fingers, I can't take you away!"
With so much strength, the little girl lost one of her fingers.
This was the last finger of the little girl still hanging on her hand.
"After getting married, send it to the bridal chamber—"
Qi Wuyuan still didn't move.
He and Chen Ye walked towards the back room together.
It was the same room where Qi Wuyuan stayed overnight on the first day.
The scenery outside the house changed bizarrely.
The sky darkened at an unbelievably fast speed.
Qi Wuyuan gradually felt a sense of hunger, gradually becoming hungry and thirsty.
When he realized that the time was wrong before, the food and water that Qi Wuyuan supplemented were all offered by Li Quan.
He was the only one in this meeting, Qi Wuyuan licked the dry skin of his mouth, temporarily suppressing the hunger from his stomach.
Just the last two days.
It's not like he didn't have the experience of not eating or drinking for two days.
He was able to persevere when he was a child, but now this experience has little impact on him.
After Qi Wuyuan followed Chen Ye to the back room, he left all the other NPCs, but in the blink of an eye, he found that the whole environment changed from Chen's bedroom to the mountain god's cave.
【Congratulations, you have successfully survived the fifth day! 】
[...Update the current primary goal: successfully survive the sixth day. 】
[Prompt word on the sixth day:? ? 】
[The prompt is cancelled, players are asked to explore by themselves. 】
The reminder words in the brain sounded synchronously.
Second time.
From the sedan chair to the coffin.
From the village to the mountain temple.
The space transformation without any sign will only make Qi Wuyuan's cognition fall into a temporary confusion.
A stone statue of a mountain god standing tens of meters high stands in the cave, and unruly ghosts lurk in the dark place where the moonlight cannot reach. In Nuoda's space, paper figurines of various ways of death are inserted all around.
The vivid eyes of all paper figurines were tightly closed.
Taking a closer look, most of these paper figurines can match up with people in the village.
There are other female paper figurines who are not compatible with the villagers that Qi Wuyuan has seen. Qi Wuyuan looked at the past deeply, and all kinds of wedding clothes that faded into dark red were hung on dozens of female paper figurines. The way of death is exactly the same.
There is a blue-black handprint on their necks, their faces are hideous, and their joints are twisted unnaturally.
A trace of coldness flashed across Qi Wuyuan's eyes.
He let go of Chen Ye's hand: "How many brides have you killed?"
Chen Ye gave a "tsk" impatiently: "This has nothing to do with you."
"Continued cooperation."
In the mountain temple, a strong sense of oppression poured out from Chen Ye at will. In the face of the absolute strength of the home court, Qi Wuyuan couldn't resist at all.
He didn't like any of the villagers in Ai prison village.
Being forcibly bound to this place has made Chen Ye experience the darkest despair.
There are no innocents in the village.
Qi Wuyuan smiled, he raised his hand: "Just asking casually."
"Our cooperation will of course continue."
Qi Wuyuan blurted out flattery: "I know, without your escort, not to mention those villagers, you would have killed me long ago."
He will not underestimate the ability of a dungeon boss.
Qi Wuyuan's praise made Chen Ye frowned uncomfortably, but he still let the matter go.
Chen Ye didn't want to get too entangled in such a trivial matter, he started to talk about the serious matter: "The evil spirit beads are on the altar in front of the stone statue."
"Get that thing, and I can take you out of the village."
Qi Wuyuan bent his eyes: "Okay."
He walked towards the altar in front of the stone statue.
Qi Wuyuan walked across the ground full of paper figurines like no one else, and came to the altar and picked up the only bead that was very conspicuous on the table.
As soon as his fingers touched the very beautiful beads that glowed with red polarized light, a reminder sounded in his head.
[Evil Qi Bead (advanced item)]
[Although it can store evil spirits, its value seems to come from the "uniqueness" of this bead. It is a unique existence in the world, and it is also regarded as a treasure by a mountain god. 】
[This item can be taken away from the copy by the player. 】
This profile sounds like it's useless.
An ornament that increases in value simply because it is rare.
Qi Wuyuan narrowed his eyes, picked up the bead of evil energy, turned around and walked towards Chen Ye.
He returned to Chen Ye smoothly, and consciously handed the evil spirit bead in his hand to the man.
The whole process from getting married to getting the bead of evil energy went smoothly and unbelievably.
After Qi Wuyuan entered the sedan chair, he was never attacked by any monsters again, and was as safe as the early stage of a low-level dungeon.
There is no chasing and killing of paper figurines, let alone the attack of dark ghosts lurking in the dark.
Even from Chen's house to Shanshen Temple, the dungeon played some tricks to teleport them here, saving time on the way.
[That's it? ? ]
[Speechless, this dungeon is anticlimactic. ]
[So it's better to hug the boss's thigh tightly. ]
[The anchor is already stable, after successfully cooperating with the BOSS, it is not safe to survive the time of the main line. ]
[But... what if the boss doesn't keep his promise? ]
[Why do you think that a dungeon boss will not break the contract, it's just a verbal agreement. ]
[Don't jump to conclusions so early, I think the anchor should think of everything that the barrage thinks of. ]
[Yes, I believe that Baby Ah Yuan still has some tricks! ]
After getting the baleful energy beads, Chen Ye looked at Qi Wuyuan in an unclear manner, and the corner of his mouth rose, maliciously puncturing Qi Wuyuan's fabricated life experience.
"I remember that there has never been a family in the village who specializes in funeral business."
[Currently, the degree of collapse of human settings: 37%]
It suddenly rose by several percentage points, and it was only 50% away from the 13% dead line of Qi Wuyuan's collapse.
Qi Wuyuan bent his eyes, and there was no panic about being punctured.
"Do you think the evil spirit beads I gave you will be real?"
Qi Wuyuan looked at Chen Ye, not losing even half of his momentum.
The eyes slightly covered by the disheveled hair were dark and deep, with a vivid emotion that Chen Ye couldn't describe but was amazing enough.
Facing the oppressive feeling from the absolute strength of the man, Qi Wuyuan felt the blood in his whole body was rolling slightly.
He straightened the broken hair on his forehead, smiled and blinked twice, and said provocatively, "I'm a smart man."
Chen Ye crushed the counterfeit beads in his hand: "No, you are a smart lunatic."
"It just so happens that I like to have smart lunatics stay with me."
The killing intent of pulling each other in the air was completely diffused.
Qi Wuyuan curled his lips: "Don't be so confident, maybe I will help you get rid of the feudal dross?"
"After all, evil does not prevail over good."
