The moment the other party held Gu Wuji's hand, the skeletons around seemed to shift their attention instantly, no longer staring at Gu Wuji, and continued to move forward expressionlessly.
Gu Wuji went against the flow of people and followed the ghost in the wedding dress in front of him. He had a lot of doubts in his mind, and he has never been a person who would bury doubts in his heart. He immediately said, "Who are you?"
The other party shook his head.
Gu Wuji said again: "Thank you for saving me."
The other party was silent this time, but he still didn't turn his head, just whispered, "Get out of here."
"why?"
"Nothing good will happen here. That ceremony is far more terrifying than you think. Ordinary people can't stop it. If you want to survive, you have to leave this place before the ceremony." Said the female ghost in a wedding dress "I know where I can leave this village quietly, and I'll take others with me tomorrow."
Gu Wuji said: "But I have no way to leave, and I have no intention of leaving. Since I am here, I must find out the truth of everything. I know that since you saved me, you must hope that I can do something. ."
The opponent's body froze, as if she did not expect Gu Wuji to say such a thing, she sighed helplessly, and finally turned around.
"It's actually pretty much the same, if you think about it that way. Maybe... I'm really looking forward to what you can do."
The female ghost that appeared in front of Gu Wuji's face was still covered by the mist. Although I couldn't see anything clearly, I could vaguely feel the other person's expression.
"You really are such a person. After all, only a person like you can really change this village... It's a pity that it's too late." The female ghost said faintly, "The only thing I can tell you is Yes, until that ceremony finally begins..."
Gu Wuji looked at the other party with some surprise, the other party seemed to say something, but he couldn't hear the next few words at all.
It was like when they first met in a dream.
"What the hell are you..."
He wanted to ask more questions, but he felt his body sink and his consciousness became even more blurred. As for the female ghost in front of him, the figure had already become blurred in the fog.
…
…
Gu Wuji woke up and found that the outside world was already bright.
Qi Yunxiu was still sitting next to him and watching him closely, and the ghosts next to him showed relief when they saw Gu Wuji wake up.
Gu Wuji couldn't help but say, "What's wrong?"
"You fell asleep suddenly, and no matter how you screamed, you couldn't wake up." Qi Yunxiu breathed a sigh of relief, "I thought something happened to you. These ghosts should be worried about you."
In fact, Qi Yunxiu thought that these ghosts had done something, and said that if Gu Wuji couldn't wake up, they would all be buried with him.
These ghosts are extremely aggrieved in their hearts, how can they have the courage to fight against the two evil spirits now, they are rushing to find death!
After experiencing the anxiety of most of the night, when Gu Wuji finally woke up, these ghosts felt that they saw the hope of living, and they even felt that they loved life even more.
Gu Wuji didn't know why, and looked at these ghosts with moving eyes, "Although we only met for one night, I didn't expect you to be so worried about me. It's a pity that I probably won't be able to see each other again in the future."
These ghosts were too happy to hear Gu Wuji's words. They didn't want to see Gu Wuji again, okay
But before they could even smile, they noticed Qi Yunxiu's icy eyes, and immediately changed their words: "We also feel very sorry, hey, this time it was too hasty."
"If you come again next time, we will definitely entertain you."
A ghost even shed tears, and then hurriedly said: "I really don't want to be separated from you, this night is the happiest day I have spent since I died."
Gu Wuji was more and more moved, and felt that even in such a village, the ghosts in the haunted house were actually very friendly.
After the two of them left, the door of the house was tightly closed.
The ghosts in here probably won't want to provoke any living outsiders for a few years.
It was already dawn, and Gu Wuji was struggling with whether or not to go to the village chief, when an old lady came to say hello.
"Xiao Sun, why are you still here? I saw that the village chief went to your residence for something. Have you finished talking?"
"What?" Gu Wuji immediately looked at the other party, "What is the village chief going to do with us?"
The other party was a little surprised, "So you don't know yet? After all, the ceremony is about to be held soon. The village chief said that it is rare for outsiders to come. Of course, he wants you to participate in it, so let's discuss it now."
"Oh, ok, we went out for a walk this morning, so we missed it." Gu Wuji hurriedly found a way to end the topic, looked at Qi Yunxiu who was on the side, and whispered, "It seems that the village chief is finally about to start action. After all, Xiao Meng is the bride they chose, and something will definitely happen to her today."
Qi Yunxiu also realized this and frowned slightly, "Then shall we hurry back?"
In fact, he doesn't care about the lives of other people except Gu Wuji. Anyway, the player who is this dungeon will die sooner or later, so what is there to care about. But this may be related to the main line and the safety of carelessness, and he has to think about it.
"No, you go back first." Gu Wuji said: "I still have to go to the village chief's house to see. I don't think the village chief will do anything for a while. You help me stare over there, I'm going to investigate things. ."
Although Qi Yunxiu did not agree with him, Gu Wuji was very determined, and considering that if the village chief went back early, Gu Wuji might be in danger, so Qi Yunxiu said goodbye to Gu Wuji and hurried to his residence.
…
…
Gu Wuji came to the village chief's house, pushed the door open, and immediately met the village chief's wife, who was cleaning the lobby. He was not surprised when he saw him coming, as if he had expected this to happen.
"You finally came."
"You knew I would come?" Gu Wuji was a little puzzled.
"After all, it's about time for the ceremony. Those who want to investigate won't miss it now. You must want to know about the mountain god and those brides." The village chief's wife said, "If you trust me, talk to me. Let me do it."
Saying that, she put the broom aside and hurriedly walked inside.
Gu Wuji followed and noticed the wound on the other's arm, "Your wound..."
"That night, it was me." The village chief's wife had a complicated look on her face, looking at Gu Wuji with a bit of fear in her eyes.
"Why did you do such a thing." Gu Wuji said.
"It was all coerced by him." The village chief's wife revealed a bit of hatred in her eyes, "If it wasn't for him, I would never have come to this village at all... You know, this immortal has everything. His first wife died long ago, and I was married later."
"After knowing the truth, I wanted to leave this village, but I met the so-called mountain god. I became like a ghost. If I don't obey orders, he will make my life worse than death." At the mountain god, the village chief's wife was very resentful again.
"So it is." Gu Wuji nodded.
"But the moment I was hurt by you, I suddenly realized that this was a good opportunity to kill him. What if he died, anyway, I don't want to go on like this anymore." The village chief's wife said bitterly "But I don't really believe in the others. If it was someone else who came this time, I wouldn't bring them here."
Gu Wuji became more and more convinced that he had really come this time.
While they were talking, the two had already passed through the back yard and came to a more remote room. The door was not even locked, but there were a lot of spells on the surrounding walls, as if they were guarding against something. .
This scene reminded Gu Wuji that when he was in the cave, there were also a large number of spells attached to it. At first, he thought it was for exorcism... But later, the mountain god himself was already evil enough.
"What are these spells?"
After all, the village head can be said to be covering the sky with one hand in this village. He doesn't even lock the door, so he is not afraid of anyone who dares to come in. For his wife, he thinks that he has completely controlled it, and it is completely impolite to beat or scold.
But in this case, he was afraid of something, or a ghost.
What appeared in Gu Wuji's mind was the female ghost he saw in his dream last night.
"I don't know either." The village chief's wife shook her head. "But he takes these spells very seriously. If I touch them, I will be punished horribly."
The village chief's wife pushed open the door of the room and whispered to Gu Wuji again: "You can't speak loudly here, otherwise you may disturb the mountain god, just look at things carefully..."
Gu Wuji nodded.
"Also, the contents inside must not be brought out, otherwise the mountain god will appear directly." The village chief's wife instructed again.
"it is good."
"You'd better come out quickly, after all, I don't know when he will come back." The village chief's wife nodded, pushed the door open, turned around and went out again, sweeping the floor in the yard outside, probably to cover up something .
Gu Wuji walked in alone.
The interior decoration of this room is very strange, there are no windows in it, and the light source is the candles lit around. The interior of the entire room is reminiscent of the cave, and there are countless spells on the walls.
In the center of the room is an exquisite plate, as if being enshrined, with a stone on it.
As for the table, there were things like notebooks and materials that Gu Wuji was thinking about, and he opened it immediately.
There is almost information about the whole village in the information, and there is something written on the back about their loyalty to Lord Mountain God, which makes people horrified.
Gu Wuji suspects that this so-called loyalty is actually the brainwashing of the villagers by the will of the mountain god. Only those who are related to female ghosts seem to be able to avoid such brainwashing. After a certain amount of time, everyone in this village may become the servants of this so-called mountain god.
At that time, it may not only be affected by this village, but will spread to the entire mountain, and the so-called mountain god, at that time, may be called a real mountain god by strength alone.
As for the layout, Gu Wuji took a cursory glance at it. He has been wandering around the village these days. He knows a lot about the layout of the village, but he finds that it is not the same as the one on this piece of paper.
The time on this paper should be a few years ago... and the biggest change above is where they live. In the past, this residence seemed to be a building dedicated to the mountain god, but it was overthrown.
Gu Wuji couldn't help frowning. It stands to reason that the village chief has such a good relationship with this mountain god, why would he overthrow that building... Or, the difference between the current mountain god and the past is too big, so will the building affect anything?
Then Gu Wuji hurriedly opened the notebook again, and there were some blurry photos of women attached to it. Although it was blurry, it could still be seen that they looked very good, and there were various news recorded beside them.
Presumably these are the news of the brides. In the first document, Gu Wuji inferred from the time of writing that she was the ghost marriage object of the village chief's son.
This is completely different from the bride that Gu Wuji met, and he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. After all, that woman was the most likely person in his opinion.
Gu Wuji hurriedly looked back and saw several familiar faces.
After all, he had actually seen those female ghosts before.
But when Gu Wuji turned to the end, he didn't see the person he was looking for. What surprised him even more was that the time when this information was compiled seemed to be in the recent period, plus the extremely detailed information that seemed to be inferred.
Could it be that the village chief is also looking for that person.
Gu Wuji closed the notebook and was about to turn around to leave when he heard a noise from the outside world, apparently the village chief had returned.
"Oops." Gu Wuji looked around, there was no back door or any window in this room, it was impossible to run away.
Gu Wuji finally had to hide in the cabinet in the corner.
There is no other option in this situation now. If the situation gets worse next time, I'm afraid I'll have to confront the village chief and the mountain god in advance... But in this place, the mountain god should appear only partially, and he should still have some hope.
There was another quarrel between women and men from the outside world, and the village chief's wife deliberately made a loud noise, as if to remind Gu Wuji inside.
Then came a crisp slap, and a woman's cry, and then the man slammed the door open.
Gu Wuji could see from the gap in the cabinet that the person who came was not the village chief, but a strong-aged man, who was yesterday's big pillar.
"It's just a crappy place, I thought there was something good." Dazhu came in and saw the layout of the house, and he pouted a few times, "It's so pretentious, I don't want to offer anything good to sacrifice to the mountain god. ?"
Gu Wuji guessed that Dazhu's daughter may be a future sacrifice prepared by the village, so his brainwashing degree is not very high, and he is not too in awe of the mountain god. After yesterday's defeat, he also came in today to make trouble while the village chief was away.
Dazhu's eyes looked around and didn't see anything good. He wanted to open Gu Wuji's cabinet, but he was suddenly attracted by the stones on the table not far away.
"It shouldn't be a cheap thing to put this stone here." After speaking, he reached out and picked up the stone, put it in his pocket and turned around to leave.
But in the next moment, from the stone, a huge black and swollen hand suddenly stretched out.
Dazhu fell to his knees in fright, and before he could scream, his hand grabbed his head.
…
…
The village chief rushed into the house in a hurry.
Qi Yunxiu and the others followed in a hurry. They were still talking about delaying the time just now. Who knew that the village chief's face suddenly changed greatly, and they couldn't catch up with the fast running back.
"Damn it." Qi Yunxiu's eyes had cooled down. He didn't even know if Gu Wuji was in it now. If he really broke through the worst situation, he could only do the worst.
The village chief is so urgent that he can't even care about Qi Yunxiu and them. He was extremely anxious and angry in his heart. No wonder he didn't see that Sun Shi before. Could it be that Sun Shi had already sneaked here? Damn, if he really found that thing, even if he didn't notice it at first, he would definitely remember it later!
If this is the case, even before the ceremony, Sun Shi will be killed directly.
He rushed into the yard abruptly, and saw his wife sitting on the ground crying, and the door ajar.
At this moment, the people behind Qi Yunxiu all gasped. Although they didn't know what happened before, they couldn't help but guess in their minds that Gu Wuji must have come to investigate something...
The village chief suddenly pushed open the door, and what appeared in front of him was a headless corpse lying on the ground.
The moment they saw the corpse, what everyone could think of was, of course, the carelessness who didn't know where he was from just now.
The players in the back almost screamed. Qi Yunxiu's face turned cold. He stretched out his hand and was about to tear off the gauze from his face. An unprecedented sense of tyranny flooded his heart, and the position of his eyes kept increasing. The stinging pain made him not sober for a while, just thinking about killing everyone here.
How can Gu Wuji die, he is the most unworthy person here!
If even he was dead, would these people have any reason to live? !
But at this moment, Gu Wuji's voice suddenly sounded behind them, "What's the matter? What happened to you?"
Qi Yunxiu's body froze, he turned around, looked at Gu Wuji in disbelief, and the hostility around him completely dissipated in a moment.
"You're all right..."
The others were also relieved, they really didn't want to see Gu Wuji's body like this.
As for the village chief and the village chief's wife, they were all stunned.
"Of course I'm fine." Facing the different eyes of everyone, Gu Wuji pulled an old woman behind him, "I just went to help this old man and came here when I saw something moving here. ,what happened?"
"It's nothing, it's just a dead person here." Qi Yunxiu said in a relieved tone.
Others: "..." Although it's good to have nothing to do with it, but don't speak in a relaxed tone like it's just a dead ant!
The village chief grabbed his wife and said aggressively, "What did you say happened?"
The village chief's wife said tremblingly: "The big column suddenly rushed in, slapped me and rushed inside. I don't know what happened... I don't know how he died!"
"Ultimate Chaos"
"It's actually him."
The village chief couldn't help but regret that he didn't ask people to take a good look at this guy before. He turned his head to look inside the room, and everything seemed to be normal. Presumably, this man, Dazhu, saw the stone and thought it was valuable, so he started it, and that's how it ended.
However, the village chief looked at Gu Wuji suspiciously, "Xiao Sun, why haven't you come back after being outside for so long? Don't you want to know about your companions?"
Qi Yunxiu was unwilling to be forced to question Gu Wuji, and was even more worried about Gu Wuji's exposure, so he said coldly, "What are you suspecting?! With me here, just according to our relationship, Sun Shi has nothing to worry about."
Others couldn't help but be silent, your relationship, what is this relationship, why does it always sound a little weird...
Gu Wuji said calmly: "Yes, what is our relationship, of course I trust him. Besides, I also want to go back as soon as possible, but the old man is in trouble on the way, can I help?"
Of course Gu Wuji felt that he and Qi Yunxiu were close friends.
Just after the sudden death of Dazhu, I saw that the stone returned to normal. Gu Wuji bit his head and came out of it, and reached out over the wall with agile hands.
Thanks to the fact that he helped a lot of old people before he came to the village chief's house, and the old man didn't pay enough attention, he didn't notice that he had left, so he can testify to Gu Wuji now.
The old man next to him looked at Gu Wuji with admiration, and then said to the village chief: "This guy is really good, he has helped me a lot, and he is much more reliable than the young people in the village. I think you should be the village chief. Let these young people learn from others."
Since Gu Wuji is such a person who does good deeds every day, the village chief put down most of his suspicions and said quickly: "I'm really sorry, I'm afraid you're all shocked when you see such a scene... This is our own in the village. If things happen, you should go back first, and I will definitely make up for you tomorrow."
This is a dead person, but the village chief's tone is like trying to fool the past, and he doesn't even bother to tell the players not to publicize the matter.
After all, the ceremony was imminent, and he was too lazy to make more excuses. These people were going to die anyway.
Gu Wuji and others nodded and were about to leave. The village chief said, "You are welcome to attend the ceremony tomorrow, you must come!"
When everyone went out the door, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Qi Yunxiu looked at Gu Wuji even more deeply, and he didn't dare to leave his eyes, for fear that if he didn't pay attention a little, something really happened to him.
Others are almost used to it, they already feel that Qi Yunxiu is a gay! There is no other choice.
However, Qi Yunxiu, the ruthless and ruthless star of the legendary Tuan Xie Xing, actually had such a side, which also made them feel that the contrast was too strong.
The old woman looked at them and suddenly grabbed Gu Wuji's sleeve with a serious expression, "You have to be careful."
"Old man, what's wrong?" Gu Wuji looked over suspiciously.
"Men and men, this is against the law of heaven. You and that man, it's best not to have any contact with them." The old woman said.
Others also know that this village is so backward, and besides, the old man is so old that it is normal for him to not understand the feelings between the same sex, and they don't think too much about it.
In fact, as players of this game, most of them are casual about their sexual orientation. After all, their lives may be at risk at any time. Who cares whether they like men or women.
Qi Yunxiu was very angry when he heard it, and glared at him coldly, but the other party was an old man, so he decided not to care about the other party anymore.
Gu Wuji nodded, "Thank you for your reminder, but me and that person, we are just friends and have nothing to do with it, so he will be troubled."
Everyone felt that Gu Wuji's words were actually quite considerate, and they might have dealt a bigger blow to Qi Yunxiu.
The old woman didn't believe Gu Wuji's words at all. After all, Qi Yunxiu's thick arrow could even be seen by her, only Gu Wuji, who was extremely nervous in this regard, didn't notice it.
What the old woman said later shocked everyone.
"Don't take it seriously. The village chief's son too. If it wasn't for the man he liked, how could such an accident happen. This must be the punishment of the mountain god! So you young people must listen to what you have to say."
Gu Wuji suddenly realized that he had never paid attention to the village chief's son from the beginning, probably because all the female ghosts he met were.
Mingming's son of the village chief is also an important role in the first ghost marriage. Maybe, something can be investigated from him.
