All the secrets are under the White Water Pool.
Linglong's eyes rolled around, it was meaningless to burn the villagers to death, and the so-called Dragon God insisted on doing this for only one reason. There are some unspeakable secrets about the people who were burned to death. Burning them is just a pretense, hiding that secret is the truth.
The village chief must know something, or maybe he planned all this.
Just looking at his appearance, he doesn't look like a martial arts master, but if there is someone behind the village chief, where does that person always live? This village is not big, and the villagers are very familiar with each other. If a new person comes, they will be recognized immediately.
He thought for a while, then raised his head and asked Wang Dazhui, "Have any new faces ever come from your village?"
Wang Dazhui recalled for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I've never seen it before. You two are the only people who have stepped into the village in recent years."
Yin Yin grasped the key words sensitively, "Does it mean that someone broke into the village by mistake in the early years?"
"Yes," Wang Dachui nodded, "just like you, both of them were injured and made their way to the entrance of the village by mistake."
Yin Yin pulled the corner of his mouth and smiled at Wang Dazhui, "Then what happened to them later?"
"The people in the village were burned to death." Wang Dazhui replied calmly.
Yin Yin: "…"
Knowing that it was such a sad answer, she would not ask.
Linglong's eyes flashed, "Then what about the people who should have been burned that year? Where are they now?"
Wang Dazhui pondered for a while, and sighed, "I was left in the Dragon Palace forever to serve the Dragon God."
Linglong's brows frowned, it seemed that there was something on those people, and the Dragon God couldn't put them back into the village. I'm afraid, he would have been quietly executed by the Dragon God long ago.
He glanced at Wang Dachui, "When will this year's sacrifice be held?"
Wang Dazhui's expression froze, "The day after tomorrow, all the villagers have to stay at home and cannot go out."
Linglong buried his head, it seems that tomorrow is the last chance.
After a brief meal with Yin Yin, Linglong pulled her back to the room. Yin Yin had an intuition that Linglong was planning something.
"Little Lingling, what are you thinking?" Yin Yin posted it with a sly face.
Linglong watched Yin Yin for a long time. He thought it was the best way to pat Yin Yin to faint, but he couldn't feel relieved to leave her here alone in a coma. But if she doesn't stun her, she will definitely follow her.
How to do
After hesitating for a while, Linglong decided to tell Yin Yin the truth, "I need to go under the White Water Pool to see. All the secrets are hidden there. As long as you go there, everything will be solved."
What he didn't say was, if it goes well, then everything will be solved. If it doesn't go well... Then, like the villagers, you will probably have to stay in the Dragon Palace and serve the Dragon God all your life.
And in the current situation, it is more likely that it will not go well.
But even if he didn't say it, how could Yin Yin not understand. Not to mention that Linglong is injured now, even under normal circumstances, it is not necessarily the opponent of the Dragon God. Going here is dangerous.
She grabbed Linglong's sleeve and looked at him with burning eyes, "Can you not go?"
Linglong looked at Yin Yin, put her hand on her face, and gently rubbed it a few times, "No."
Yin Yin immediately performed the stunt of crying for three seconds, and he was about to cry.
"Don't pretend to cry." Linglong pinched Yin Yin's face, "We can't sit still, if we stay here and do nothing, it will be a dead end."
Although he knew what Linglong said, Yin Yin just didn't want to let Linglong do it when he knew it was dangerous. She thought for a while and said, "Then I'll go with you."
really.
Linglong's heart sank, "You stay here obediently and wait for me to come back."
"I don't!" Yin Yin rebuffed Linglong's proposal, "If something happens to you and you can't come back, then I will still be burned to death. Rather than being burned to death by them, I might as well be with you. Die in the Dragon Palace!"
Linglong frowned and looked at Yin Yin, thought for a long time, and finally nodded, "Okay then."
If you must die, then die together.
With a heavy heart, Yin Yin was waiting for the night to come.
In fact, although she feels that this trip is dangerous, isn't Linglong the protagonist? With the protagonist's halo covering it, you must be able to survive in a desperate situation, right
When I used to read novels, I often complained that the protagonist had too much halo and too many golden fingers. Now... She just wished the halo was bigger and the fingers bigger.
"Yinyin, don't worry too much, there is a certain number in the dark." Linglong pulled Yin Yin to his side and sat down, holding her cold hand.
"Yeah." Yin Yin nodded, "You say, what is in the Dragon Palace? Why did those people go crazy after being imprisoned for a year?"
Forgive her for thinking of some unremarkable things at this time, such as XXX.avi.
Please make up your own mind about the content of XXX.
"I guess someone might be using the villagers to make some kind of medicine." Linglong thought about it and said, "They were affected by the medicine, so they were confused."
"Drugs?" Yin Yin frowned, but she had heard that Qin Shihuang invited many alchemists to concoct alchemy in order to seek immortality.
"I don't know exactly what the drug is. I can only find out when I go to the bottom of Baishuitan." Xianggong, Xiaosheng can't
At the third watch, Linglong, who was lying on the bed, opened his eyes on time. He pushed Yin Yin, who was already a little confused beside him, "Yin Yin, let's go."
"Yeah." Yin Yin rubbed his eyes and nodded at Linglong.
Although Linglong and Yin Yin were both injured, they were people who knew martial arts anyway, and it was no problem to sneak away while the villagers who didn't know martial arts at all were sleeping.
Lightly walking to the bedside, pushing open the window, Linglong and Yin Yin arrived outside Wang Dachui's house smoothly.
Based on the memory of the day, Linglong led Yin Yin to Baishuitan.
In the dead of night, the whole village was asleep.
At this time, Baishui Village looked a lot different from that in the daytime. I always felt that it had a creepy meaning. Countless scenes of horror movies flashed across Yin Yin's mind.
Too much imagination is not necessarily a good thing.
She squeezed Linglong's sleeves tightly, for fear that the person in front of her would disappear in the blink of an eye. The sounds of wild beasts could be heard all around. It seemed that, at least on this point, Wang Dazhui had not lied to them.
Seeing that Baishuitan was already in front of me, the shrill scream sounded again in the dark night, "Ah!"
Yin Yin was startled, and immediately covered his mouth and screamed silently.
Linglong's eyes narrowed, and she looked around. The sound didn't seem to come from the bottom of Baishuitan.
But around here, there is not even a place to cover it. Where do people hide
Just when Linglong was puzzled, a negative voice suddenly sounded from behind, "You two, why are you sitting here if you don't sleep so late?"
"Ah!" Yin Yin really screamed, Linglong turned around and blocked Yin Yin from behind, looking at the person in front of him coldly.
The person who came was the head of Baishui Village.
"Then the village chief is so late, what are you doing here?" Linglong asked with a cold face.
"Hmph." The village chief snorted, turned around and walked forward, "You two want to go to Baishui Pond, right? Don't blame me for not reminding you, it's better not to interfere in the affairs of Baishui Village."
Yin Yin stuck his head out from behind Linglong, looked at the back of the village chief and said, "Actually, we don't want to interfere at all, why don't you let us go now."
The village chief stopped and said, "Forgive me, I can't do anything about it. The formation at the entrance of the village was set up by the Dragon God, and even I walked out."
"So you're not a Dragon God?" Yin Yin asked.
"Oh, how could I be the Dragon God? The two of you are really flattering me." The village chief laughed to himself while standing in the dark, but that laughter sounded inexplicably sad.
"Actually, you know that there is no Dragon God under Baishuitan, right?" Linglong's cold voice was mixed with Ye Feng, which sounded a little colder. Tame love, go home at night and play the devil
The figure of the village chief seemed to be shaking a little, and Yin Yin had the illusion that he would be blown away by the night wind just like that.
Seeing that the village chief did not deny it, Linglong continued to ask: "Since you know, why do you want your villagers to die?"
The village chief turned around abruptly, and his expression actually overlapped with that of Li Li that night. Yin Yin couldn't help frowning, what were they carrying
"My grandfather was a very wise man. When I was young, I often pestered him and asked him to tell me stories." The village chief suddenly started talking about the past, "Once, my grandfather asked me a question. He said, if one day you are driving a carriage on the road, but the horse suddenly loses control and runs forward like crazy, you will not be able to stop. At this time, you find that there is a fork in the road ahead of you, There are three people standing on one road and one person on the other, so which way would you let the horse go?"
He glanced at Linglong and Yin Yin and asked, "What do you guys think, which one is the right one to choose?"
Yin Yin frowned, this is clearly a paradox, no matter which side you choose is wrong.
"The side with fewer people." Linglong said.
The village chief smiled and said, "My grandfather said the same thing at the time. Sometimes, only by sacrificing a few people can protect the vast majority of people."
Yin Yin thought for a moment, "Could it be that if you don't burn those sacrifices, other villagers will be in danger?"
"Dragon God's anger is a disaster." The village chief said and turned around, "Aren't you two going to Baishuitan? Come with me."
When Yin Yin was standing by the Baishuitan, she was still brooding about what happened just now. She looked at the calm water of the Baishuitan and asked, "How do you go about this?"
"Do you want to go down?" The village chief seemed a little surprised.
"Well." Linglong took a few steps around the water pool, "Isn't the formation at the entrance of the village set up by the Dragon God, I can only ask him to let us out."
The village chief glanced at Chi Shui and said faintly, "Don't look for it, the Dragon God is here to pick you up."
Before he could understand the meaning of the village chief's words, Yin Yin felt that his ankle was held by a cold hand. Looking at the pale hand sticking out from the pool, Yin Yin was pulled down before she could even scream.
There was a loud bang, and a huge splash of water splashed on the edge of the pool.
Linglong's heart was startled, "Yinyin!!!"
The author has something to say: Next time, Sailor Moon will fight the Dragon God at the bottom of the pool! 【Wait yourself to shut up... 】
PS: The horse carriage should be familiar to you. Yes, it is the tram problem of the world's top ten famous paradoxes =. =
It's still not reasonable to adapt it to an ancient version.
But as long as everyone understands what Wo wants to express, it's enough _(:з"∠)_
