Yue Qingshan nodded to everyone: "When I was in the world in my early years, I had heard of the Jinhuamen'er. They were a gang that stole gold under the guise of juggling. They were used to doing evil things and called the former government officials After being caught, he was killed, chopped, and exiled. I never expected to meet him here."
"If Uncle Yue is right, do you have any feeling that these clan elders are related to Kong Deshun? The clan elders may not be aware of Kong Deshun's affairs. They may know about it and deliberately condone it in order to profit from it. If so, the people of Yuping Town The common people are really miserable one by one, watching helplessly as they use their children to do things with ulterior motives."
"We couldn't have guessed anything until we saw Mr. Lilang. A demon who has been hiding in the mountains for thirty years can do anything he wants. Hurry up and follow him. The parade is about to move forward."
Before Yue Qingshan finished speaking, he saw the old coffin men shouting for the cat boy to come out. Then the crowd was beating gongs and drums even louder. Two boys and girls, dressed like New Year dolls, were carried on small sedans. come out.
"Get up the sedan chair and see the boy off. The witches will see you off. The people will follow you. Get up~~~"
There was another roar of the old dragon, and the sedan carrying the boy took one step ahead, leading the statue of Li Langjun forward. The Nuo performers on both sides were even more joyful, and followed the statue towards the outside of the town with weird steps. .
After they left first, the common people crowded at the tail of the float, forming a long queue of dragons and snakes and followed them.
It is only a few miles from Yuping Town to Tiexa Mountain. Even without a carriage, there is not much work to do. These rural people also have the habit of walking through mountains and ridges on weekdays. The wind is whistling as they walk. I didn't feel tired all the time. I followed the parade floats through the Heqiao Mountain Road and soon came to the Tiesha River Valley.
This place is less than half a mile away from the Lilangjun Temple, and across a narrow river valley is the lair of the Lilangjun.
Yue Guanchao wanted to continue walking with them, but he could clearly feel that the people had stopped. He curiously asked the old man next to him: "Old man, aren't you going to send Mr. Li Lang off? What do you mean by stopping here?"
"Young man, you are new here, right? The people can only send the Great Immortal Li outside the river valley. Even the clan elders have to stand outside. Only these Nuo witches can go in along the river valley and wait for them to send the boys and girls there. In the temple, only then can we come back.”
"You, don't go any further. As long as you are pious enough, when those wild cats come back, you will definitely bring back some golden beans."
After saying that, the old man stopped talking and lowered his head to pray for something.
He originally wanted to follow him inside, but his plan completely changed. Song Siyuan lowered her voice and whispered in his ear:
"We will pretend to go back first and hide in the nearby bushes. We will wait until these people and the witches have left before we come out, so as not to conflict with them."
"Okay~"
At Yue Guanchao's signal, they retreated from the crowd against the common people and hid in the bushes when they were far away.
At this time of year, most of the shrubs had fallen leaves and withered, and were all covered with ice and snow. As they walked farther and farther, the noise and excitement were gradually absorbed completely. There was no more noise and gongs, only the crunching sound of feet on the snow, as they walked along Keep walking through the dense pine forest, and when you get close to the mountain passes on both sides, you can easily see the valley scene through the hillside.
These hundreds of witches carrying the boys and girls have walked to the river valley and are gradually approaching the Lilangjun Temple!
At this time, the boys and girls saw that there were few pedestrians and were getting closer and closer to the mountains. They finally felt the strange atmosphere. The joy on their faces faded and they became restless. They even wanted to get out of the sedan. However, the sedan had long been sealed and there was a copper lock outside. There was a loud bang and the car door could not be opened.
"Ahhhhhh~~"
For a moment, the children's high-pitched wails echoed throughout the valley.
These hundred witches may have felt that the children were too noisy, so they sprayed something into the car. They saw a line of light yellow powder floating like smoke, lingering around the car, and quickly got into the car from all directions.
These children were wailing, but after breathing in the unknown yellow gas, they stopped crying instantly, and instead became happy and happy, which was completely different from the pain and fear just now.
This scene made everyone confused. Song Siyuan said: "I am thinking that these hundreds of witches should also be from Lingnan, otherwise they would not be so familiar with Nuo opera. Those greedy people should actually be members of the Jinhuamen. They The powder in his hands is mostly used to control people."
"As expected, the greedy guest is in the same group as Kong Deshun. At this point, it is no longer something that Kong Deshun can do with illusions. This is a whole set of tricks to fool people. It seems that there seems to be something in this valley that calls these people They went to great lengths to use the Li Langjun Temple to cover up the truth."
"But where is Kong Deshun? Why hasn't he shown up yet?"
Song Siyuan and the others stared at the river valley for a while. Apart from the Nuo opera performed by hundreds of witches pretending to be gods and ghosts, there was nothing unusual in the river valley. Even the Lilang Temple was silent, looking eerily solemn under the dry mountains and still water.
"Perhaps, after these Nuo opera wizards leave, we can see where they are going to carry these children~"
