Chapter 426(1/2)
Chapter 426
Yunya County is as its name suggests, surrounded by mountains with altitudes of more than 1,000 meters, steep cliffs, clouds, mountains, fog and seas. Whether it is the scenery or the steepness, it perfectly satisfies the hobbies of many mountaineering enthusiasts and is an absolutely happy hometown.
So when it was dusk, when Song Mengmeng and the others arrived in Yunya County, the road to the county town was still very congested.
Anyway, they were approaching, and Song Mengmeng and the others were not as anxious as before.
Waiting for the huddles in front of them to slowly clear the vehicles, they finally entered the county town before nightfall.
The county town here is a bit similar to the ancient towns I have been to before, but it is a bit larger in scale!
A winding river passes by the city, dividing the city into two parts: old and new.
The destination of Song Mengmeng and the others this time is in the old city on the other side of the river.
Most of the streets are made of two-story and three-story buildings with wooden structures, and the mottled exterior walls are traces of the sliding of time.
They originally wanted to live in the B&B that had happened before, but the suggestion was rejected. It was not something else, but after that incident, the B&B closed and has not reopened yet.
So in the end, Song Mengmeng and the others had no choice but to live in another B&B not far from that B&B.
The one who received them was an old aunt who looked over 40 years old. She introduced her surname as He, who was considered an old resident in the county. After completing the check-in procedures and asking her to help prepare supper, the two sides became familiar with each other.
So when the dishes were served, Hu Da changed the subject and asked about the murder that happened in the next homestay.
"If you want me to tell me, there must be some misunderstanding in this matter.
Sister Guo and his wife are famous for having a good relationship in our county town. They have grown up from childhood for so many years. Not to mention quarrels, they never even have a blushing face and a loud voice.
Who would have thought that something like that would happen that day?!"
When talking about the neighbors who had looked down and looked up together, Aunt He sighed and shook her head. Until now, she still had some disbelief and doubt about what happened at that time.
What kind of couples are in a relationship?
This is not a joke!
No matter who has a bad relationship, it is impossible for the couple to have such a thing!
But now the case has been decided, and it is useless to say these. Aunt He sighed and did not forget to carry out two long bamboo tubes from the inside, and presented treasures to Song Mengmeng and the others with a smile: "This is our specialty here, the bamboo tube rice wine. They are all made from home. Do you want to taste it?"
This wine is brewed by the traditional method, and only after taking Kaifeng mud, I could smell the rich sweet fragrance.
Song Mengmeng and the others did not refuse, thanked Aunt He, and then saw Aunt He get up and pick up a few earthy pottery bowls, pouring a bowl for them each.
"You said you are here to investigate that matter?!
It’s been so long, can you really find it out?!”
After listening to the origin of Song Mengmeng and the others, and the police station had already come to make arrangements before, Aunt He, who had a certain understanding of their identities, was a little hesitant.
She hesitated for a while before speaking, "Actually, what you asked, is there anything special happening? I thought about it carefully and found that there was really one.
I just don't know if this is a special thing."
"You said."
Hearing Aunt He's words, Song Mengmeng suddenly became interested, her eyes staring at the woman in front of her, waiting for her answer to follow.
"My sister Guo and her husband are Miao people. In fact, most of our county are Miao people. Every year on the third day of March, it is the birthday of one of their witch gods.
On that day of each year, they would go to the altar in the mountains to worship their ancestors.
That day, Sister Guo and the others went there for a day just like in previous years.
Actually, if you want to talk about this, there is nothing strange about it. What’s strange is that when Sister Guo came back in the evening, she came to me and sat down.
I remembered that day very clearly. It was a little rainy, and the business was not good. I just fryed two dishes and prepared to finish the meal. When she came over, I pulled her and sat down together for two drinks and chatted for a while.
I heard her say that she didn't know what was wrong, and her mind was a little dizzy, as if there were suddenly more people living inside.
The only thing I thought at that time was whether she was too tired to worship the witch god all day long, so she didn't think much about it, just advised her to finish the drink and go back and have a good rest.
After that, the tragic incident happened in less than a month!
As long as I think back now, I can’t remember anything else clearly, but I can only remember this matter very well!
She looked crazy later, but she was completely different from her previous personality!”
Aunt He mentioned all the previous things now, but her face still didn't look very good.
She did not lie on this point. She did forget a lot of things, but the words that Sister Guo said in front of her made her feel a little chill when she thinks about it.
"Where is their altar?!" Hu Da put down the wine bowl in his hand and looked up at Aunt He. If what Aunt He said was true, then what is the witch god worshipped behind him? It is really necessary to take a look at it again.
When talking about this, Aunt He actually didn't know much, but she didn't hide it. She thought about it and raised her hand to the left: "It is said that it is in the mountains, and the only ones who can really go there are the Miao people themselves. We outsiders are not qualified to understand those."
This is not something Aunt He conceals it, but the fact.
After all, due to related issues early in the morning, Yunya County once mentioned that it wanted to combine stories related to this belief in order to develop the tourism industry, but it was unanimously opposed by the Miao people.
Later, this matter ended up being stopped because it no longer violated the habits of faith.
However, this incident was too big and became a taboo in many people's memory.
However, it is precisely because of this that Song Mengmeng and the others are becoming more interested in this so-called altar.
They are not Hu Yue, and they have to think about things repeatedly. Hu Da just went out quietly. When he came back, he had already figured out the location of the altar and the news of how to enter.
So the three of them did not delay the next time, and quietly left the homestay under the cover of the night and rushed towards the altar.
With the strength of the three people now, even if they do not use modern tools to transport, their speed can be so fast that they cannot see the naked eye. Moreover, the road conditions on the mountain are not suitable for using any means of transportation, and it is easier and more convenient to go directly.
In the hearts of the Miao people, Chi You is definitely an indescribable ancestor of the great god.
However, after seeing the statue of the witch god at the entrance of the altar, Song Mengmeng suddenly realized the strangeness and something was wrong with the sculpture.
This black lacquer is a piece of black paint, which looks a bit like a bird, but it is also in the shape of an animal, and there are also circling scales of this snake as it is at the bottom of its feet...
It doesn't look like a specific animal, but it looks like a hodgepodge that cannot be distinguished by the deity...
This thing is the Witch God?!
Song Mengmeng blinked, and based on her understanding of Chiyou's film, if this thing could be respected as a god and presented to the altar, then...
Even if God Chiyou was so angry that he came back alive without caring about the seal.
“Inheritance is not absolute either.”
Seeing Song Mengmeng standing in front of the statue with shocked pupils, Emperor Yan had already seen it openly. He calmly comforted Song Mengmeng, who could be furious at any time: "What those guys are most likely to take if they want to get a suitable body is this kind of divine move.
For example, they use the sayings of gods to meet their strange needs.
You think, if the practice of offering sacrifices to gods will be understood, then those actions that would have been artificially rejected to seize other people's bodies?!"
Yes, if it is a ghost, everyone will definitely be beating him, but what if it is a god...
Wouldn't that become a hot commodity that everyone is rushing to win?!
These bastards really know how to find a way!
"Go in and have a look first."
Hu Da's face was not very good either. She pursed her lips and walked into the altar first.
This altar is built in a cave not far from Yunya County.
It is probably because it is not as particular as before, so apart from the sacrifices, we usually just use a fence to cross the entrance of the cave.
However, such an obstacle actually has no hindrance to Song Mengmeng and the others.
The three of them easily broke through the iron gate and entered the cave.
Many of these stalactite caves are narrow when entering, but there is a huge space inside.
Although there is no lighting and the cave is dark, the three people present have good night vision abilities and do not need to light the lights in such a way that they are too noticeable and noticeable.
After walking about fifty meters, the space suddenly became wide and spacious.
The wind blowing from the ground was dark and cold, and it was filled with a coldness that could not be ignored. Looking at the empty hall in front of me, which was half the size of the main stadium, the three of them stopped at the same time.
Hu Da raised his hand and snapped his fingers casually. The fluorescent light that rose from nowhere gathered from all directions, gradually emerged from their heads and formed a light source, illuminating the entire empty hall without any hiding.
Here, it seems to be the altar that the Miao people worship and fascinate here.
The ground around was obviously flattened, with placing mats neatly for people to bow and bow. The middle position was indeed not unexpected, which was worshipped as the so-called witch god, which was almost the same as the entrance of the cave.
Because there is light source lighting at this moment, the thing looks clearer, and of course, it is even more disgusting!
The roll of things that could not be seen clearly in the black fog was completely a piece of piece together of a bunch of things, hideous and terrifying!
"Because there is no entity, it is not wrong to replace their existence." Hu Da frowned. If she read it correctly, there was a fox tail there...
It's really...
"Um?!"
Song Mengmeng took two steps, suddenly stopped, turned to look at the cave.
If she didn't feel wrong, although it was very light, that feeling wouldn't be wrong! If she didn't feel wrong, there would definitely be something deep in the cave!
Evil!
"Go in and take a look."
