This moment coincides with the chen hour, which is when the sun is in the sky and the sky and the earth are bright.
However, as the "God Dance" ceremony progressed, amidst the chaotic and disorderly drumming, the area near Xunliu Street unconsciously rose into gray-black mist, becoming dim and hazy.
It was as if night had fallen early.
After a while, the fainted young woman suddenly reached out her hand to support the incense table and slowly got up from the ground.
Her movements were extremely stiff, like a patient who had been paralyzed in bed for many years and struggled to get out of bed and walk after recovering from a serious illness.
There was no blood on her face, like a cold corpse.
And her eyes - both the eyeballs and the whites of her eyes, all turned into a dull black, like two deeply sunken holes in pale marble.
"Is this what the dead soul of our ancestors looks like?"
Seeing this strange scene, everyone around them felt a little nervous and their heartstrings tightened involuntarily.
The purpose of their "divine dancing" ceremony is to bring back the spirits of their ancestors.
But the young woman's appearance at this time looked more like a man-eating evil spirit.
One child couldn't help but ask: "Dad, my aunt looks so scary..."
The man called "Dad" was also frightened and broke into a cold sweat.
But he took a deep breath and still pretended to be calm to comfort his son: "Be good, don't be afraid, it's just that the ancestors used your aunt's body to return to the world to meet us descendants."
"But, daddy, my ancestor's eyes are so scary. I feel like she wants to eat me..." The child's face was still pale and he hid behind his father, not daring to look at the young woman next to the incense table.
"Don't be disrespectful to your ancestors." The man held his son's hand tightly.
At this time, the young woman possessed by the undead raised her head and looked around.
"Goudan, are you there?" she asked in a cold tone.
Dog eggs?
Who is Goudan?
Everyone present looked confused.
But they soon learned the answer to this question.
An old man with white hair and a cotton robe stepped forward and said respectfully in front of the young woman: "Ancestor, I am a bitch."
The white-haired old man's name is Bai Qingyu, and he is the patriarch of this family. He is a very senior and prestigious person. He always speaks the truth in the family, and no one dares to offend him.
But no one expected that the patriarch would have a nickname called "Goudan"!
So at this moment, in the minds of everyone, the majestic persona of the patriarch collapsed.
"Is my daughter here too?" The young woman asked again in an indifferent tone.
An old lady with a dignified face wearing a crane cloak also took a step forward, lowered her head and said, "Nanny has met our ancestors."
The old lady is the matron of the family and the mother-in-law of the possessed young woman.
Even though she usually has a kind and gentle smile, her family status is very high. Not only is she in charge of the financial power of the family, but sometimes even the patriarch Bai Qingyu is afraid of her.
However, at this moment, facing the souls of her ancestors who were summoned back, she turned into a humble and submissive junior.
…………
In this way, in the next period of time, the young woman called out the names of all the elders in the clan.
The elderly people who were usually highly respected in Reed regarded themselves as juniors in front of her and behaved respectfully.
At the same time, the fear in everyone’s hearts gradually dissipated——
Since the "young woman" can easily call out the little-known nicknames of the elders in the clan, this obviously proves that what is possessing the young woman is indeed the soul of the ancestor, not some evil spirit.
Thinking of this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
One after another, they walked up to the "young woman", bowed to her, and asked her questions.
The "young woman" answered one by one with a hoarse and cold voice.
What a scene of harmony and joy between grandparents and grandchildren!
At the same time, everyone was also surprised to find that even when faced with difficult questions, the "young woman" could easily answer them and tell them the answers they wanted to know most.
"Is this the wisdom of our ancestors?" they couldn't help but sigh secretly.
Only the pale child was still huddled behind his father, not daring to go forward to see his "ancestor".
He always felt that the "ancestor" looked at everyone as if he was looking at a table full of delicious food.
…………
A few minutes later, something unexpected happened.
The "young woman" suddenly noticed the little boy's eyes full of fear and suspicion.
So she pointed at the boy and said in a hoarse voice: "He disrespected me."
The little boy's father immediately lowered his head and said respectfully: "This kid is not sensible. I hope our ancestors will forgive me."
"Let him come in front of me." The "young woman" said expressionlessly.
The little boy shuddered and took a few steps back.
The "young woman" finally had a touch of anger on her face.
She raised her hands stiffly.
From this moment on, her arms began to grow longer, changing from flesh and blood to plant branches, with layers of green leaves growing on the branches, like two dark green snakes, extending towards the little boy's neck. And go.
Under her feet, criss-crossing tree roots quickly grew, piercing the solid bluestone pavement, like countless wriggling earthworms, trying to wrap around the little boy's feet.
On her pale cheeks, on the tip of her nose, in her eyes, and in her ears, pieces of white petals grew, and clusters of delicate light yellow stamens grew in the middle of the petals.
Every little white flower looks like a little mouth.
The petals are lips, the stamens are teeth, and the nectar is saliva.
Vaguely, everyone seemed to be able to hear these open little mouths whining in unison.
"Hungry……"
"She is not an ancestor!" Someone shouted in horror, "She is a monster!"
But now that the abnormality is discovered, it is obviously too late.
The little boy was completely entangled in the branches and was immediately lifted into the air, about to become the tree demon's meal.
The boy's father stumbled forward, trying to stop the tree demon from eating his son, but a branch penetrated his shoulder directly, and blood flowed down.
There is no resistance.
Everyone present fell into despair instantly.
This is the current situation of mortals in front of demons and monsters.
It's like a fish confronting a knife or a lamb confronting a wolf.
…………
at the same time.
At the moment when the prototype of the tree demon appeared, Gu Xu relied on his powerful spiritual perception to capture a sudden burst of sinister aura in the distance.
It was as if in the dark night, a guiding light suddenly lit up.
"I know where the ghost is," he said to Shi Xiaohan beside him, "come with me quickly."
After saying that, he used the "Meteor Walking on the Moon" movement technique that he had just learned recently, and disappeared in an instant.
Shi Xiaohan looked at the afterimage he left and was stunned for a second.
"Gu Xu, when did he become so fast?"
