Strange story player

Fucheng is very big. Going south beyond the city is Mianshan District.

If you go west, you will find Tai'an District. There is Mishan County in Tai'an District. The westernmost part of Mishan County is Xianyang Village.

Further west of Xianyang Village is the Fucheng area, which is completely a stretch of ancient mountain forest with no trace of modern development.

Mishan County is unremarkable, but Xianyang Village inside has something to say.

That is also the origin of the name of Xianyang Village.

Legend has it that hundreds of years ago, people fleeing from the north wandered all the way to Mishan County.

But the fertile land in Mishan County has long been occupied by people, and the remaining land cannot support so many fleeing people.

Seeing a group of people tired, hungry and on the verge of death, a black sheep suddenly appeared.

It didn't even bark, its long pupils just stared at the group of refugees.

As if possessed, the group of refugees began to follow it in a trance.

By the time we stopped, we had arrived at a land with beautiful mountains and clear waters!

A group of refugees were overjoyed and settled here. They named Xianyang Village after the black sheep that led the way.

Of course, creatures like sheep have also become a sacred object worshiped by the villagers of Xianyang Village.

Xianyang Village even holds the Sheep Transformation Festival every three years.

The lucky one who is selected will wear sheep horns and sheep fur and be a sheep fairy for three days.

August 19th.

Tomorrow is the Sheep Festival that happens every three years.

The villagers of Xianyang Village gathered together to sing and dance. Each household prepared a dish and set up a long banquet that stretched for hundreds of meters.

This is indeed a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters, similar to Peach Blossom Spring. It is surrounded by mountains on all sides. The only way to enter the village is a winding dirt road. The road is bumpy and uneven, and ordinary drivers dare not walk on it.

So even though the style here is unique, it still has little reputation.

The Huayang Festival lasts for three days. During these three days, the entire Xianyang Village has issued a death order. All villagers must be present and are not allowed to leave the village. The ban can only be lifted after the Huayang Festival is held.

It is hard to imagine that modern society would still have this kind of feudal patriarchal style, but this is the reality in remote villages. The words of the village chief are even more effective than the law.

However, that night, a sneaky figure appeared outside the Xianyang Temple in the village.

His name is Chen Ping. He is one of the few young people in the village who has been admitted to university and has left the mountains. This time he also asked for leave and came back to participate in the Sheep Festival.

Chen Ping received a higher education. When he was in the village, he didn't think it was anything. But now that he has gone to college, he feels that the Sheep Festival is a bit weird.

My mother was selected to be the Sheep Immortal for the Huayang Festival. According to the village elders, the lucky ones who are selected can make a wish. As long as they are not too greedy, it will usually come true.

The wish that his mother made at that time was that he could successfully enter college.

Strange things happened.

Chen Ping, who had always been stubborn and had no interest in studying, suddenly seemed to have an enlightenment and successfully completed junior high school and high school, and was admitted to a key university!

But just after he was admitted to college, his mother died.

Chen Ping was able to get into college, at least his IQ was good. He soon realized that his mother's death was just like making a wish to some evil god in some works of art and having to pay other prices to fulfill the wish.

In addition, since he was a child, he had an out-of-the-box personality and strong mobility. After returning to Xianyang Village this time, although he continued to eat and drink with the villagers on the surface, secretly, he had always wanted to sneak into the Xianyang Ancestral Hall to take a look. The place was too big. It is so mysterious that people have been guarding it since childhood, and no one is allowed to enter. Only the day before the Fairy Sheep Festival can the selected "Sheep Fairy" enter. When they come out the next day, the Sheep Fairy has already dressed up. My mother was like this back then.

Tomorrow is the Sheep Transformation Festival. I heard that the lucky winner in this round of the Sheep Transformation Festival is the daughter of the Lao Li family?

That girl...

Chen Ping didn't have much memory. He only remembered that she was a bit dark, honest, and had not been talkative since she was a child.

Chen Ping secretly took a look into the ancestral hall, feeling a little annoyed.

There were more guards than usual, and the security was simply too tight.

But the more this happened, the more problems there were in this ancestral hall. He was almost certain that there must be secrets here.

Just as he was thinking about how to enter the ancestral hall, Chen Ping suddenly saw another sneaky figure.

That's... the village chief's son?

Why didn't he take the main entrance?

Chen Ping followed secretly.

Seeing the night falling, the village chief's son pushed aside the grass, lay down on the ground, and got into the ancestral hall.

I'll go...and the dog hole!

Chen Ping was overjoyed unexpectedly.

After the noise in the wall had gone away, he came to the wall and pulled away the straw like the village chief's son.

After getting into the hole, he looked up and saw a tall, ancient wooden ancestral hall in front of him, which made him feel inexplicably panicked.

The walls of this ancestral hall were much larger than he imagined...

He walked deeper for a while, becoming more and more frightened as he went.

The night was already dark, and the surroundings were too quiet. There was not even a sound of insects. This situation was a bit strange.

As the saying goes, the smarter a person is, the easier it is to scare themselves. This is the case for Chen Ping now. Various horror stories and horrific scenes are constantly appearing in his mind, and he can't help but tremble in his calves.

suddenly!

"I don't want to be a sheep fairy!"

A shrill cry made him tremble.

Wait...that voice is Li Rong, the daughter of the old Li family?

As expected, she was sent to the ancestral hall to dress up one day in advance.

While still in shock, Chen Ping's nose suddenly moved and he smelled some strange fragrance.

This is... longevity incense?

Someone is lighting incense?

The fragrance entered his body, making him feel at ease inexplicably, and the girl named Li Rong suddenly stopped screaming.

"Bringing people to such a gloomy place to dress up in the middle of the night, no wonder they don't want to..."

Chen Ping muttered.

He glanced around and happened to see the village chief's son, who had slipped into the ancestral hall before him, entering a room.

He hurriedly followed, his ears straightened, and he quietly approached the wooden window.

Chen Ping frowned as he got closer, "It stinks!"

A stink that even longevity incense can't cover up.

It smells highly putrid.

He had seen a dead wild boar by the river before. The wild boar had been soaked in water for an unknown period of time and was completely rotten. The smell it gave off was the smell in the house at the moment.

What are they doing?

Chen Ping's heartbeat was getting faster and faster. He quietly inserted his fingers into the gap in the wooden window, tiptoed to lift it up a crack, and looked into the house through the night and lights.

There were many more people in the room than he expected, including the village chief's family, several elders from the big clans in the village, and several middle-aged clan leaders who often left the village to communicate with the outside world and do business.

These people formed a circle, each holding a stick of longevity incense in their hands. The village chief's son, who had just arrived, received a glare and quickly went to get a stick of longevity incense and joined the crowd obediently.

Chen Ping struggled to look in through the crack in the window. There were two people surrounded by them, a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old, who should be Li Rong.

There was another person kneeling on the mat with rickets and wrinkles on his face. Chen Ping took a closer look and saw that that person was the village chief.

The village chief is already over 90 years old, and he still has to stay up late doing such tiring work?

When Chen Ping was confused, he suddenly saw that Li Rong had taken off his shirt!

What are these people going to do? !

Chen Ping sensed something was wrong. Could it be that these people wanted to invade Li Rong?

He was hesitating whether to call the police when he saw the village chief take out an extremely simple brush, soak up the ink from the brush, and place it on Li Rong's naked upper body.

When the first stroke was written, Li Rong suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes were red and tears flowed out.

"ah!!!"

Chen Ping was so frightened that he had goosebumps all over his body. He had never seen Li Rong, who didn't talk much, scream so loudly and shrillly.

However, the surrounding clan elders and middle-aged clan leaders all held longevity incense in one hand and pressed her shoulder with the other.

She didn't look very strong, but Li Rong couldn't move.

She could only move her eyes, but she could only shed tears and her whole body was shaking uncontrollably.

But the old village chief who was drawing peach charms on her body didn't even raise his eyelids, his expression was focused and serious, as if he was performing some kind of sacred ritual.

He wrote very slowly, as if every stroke took great effort.

Chen Ping was so frightened by this weird scene that his legs became weak and his gums were trembling.

After about half an hour, finally... densely packed strange symbols were written on Li Rong's body.

These were not words at all. When the old village chief's last strokes left her body, Li Rong's face suddenly twisted to the extreme!

The people holding longevity incense that had been circling around the two people also stopped.

"You are in love with me, and I hope that we will be clear."

A hoarse, chant-like voice came out of the old village chief's throat.

Under the gaze of everyone holding incense, the old village chief nodded slightly.

When the two middle-aged clan leaders saw this, one of them took out a black sheep's horn, and an extremely long iron nail was driven into the root of the horn.

The two of them held the horns in both hands and raised them high. Under the gaze of everyone and surrounded by the fragrance, they aimed the iron nails at the base of the horns at Li Rong's temples and stabbed them in!

Li Rong's eyes suddenly bulged out, the veins around her forehead swelled, and two lines of blood and tears flowed from the corners of her eyes. It was obvious that her pain had reached its extreme.

But soon, she stopped feeling pain.

The old village chief picked up the brush, sucked up the ink, and used the brush to hit her eyebrows hard!

A scarlet mark was left between her eyebrows, but the next moment, the skin on Li Rong's upper body, covered with strange symbols, began to fall off on its own!

Chen Ping was so frightened that he blocked his mouth with his free hand, for fear of screaming.

The scene that happened in front of me was too weird and terrifying... A girl who was still alive just now, after her eyebrows were tapped, the skin all over her body began to peel off on its own, revealing blood-red flesh...

However, this time, Li Rong didn't even scream. She just sat cross-legged quietly, her eyes empty. Only the blood was still flowing slowly under the two horns inserted into her temples.

"Wear fairy clothes."

The old village chief's old and penetrating voice sounded again.

A piece of sheepskin... was held over under Chen Ping's trembling eyes.

The old village chief unfolded it and slowly draped it on Li Rong's red flesh.

The sheepskin, which was obviously a dead thing, actually started to move!

It wormed its way into Li Rong's body, clinging tightly to her flesh and blood, and in the blink of an eye... it grew into one with her.

"Welcome, Lord Sheep Immortal."

"Welcome, Lord Yangxian..."

"..."

Everyone in the room saluted reverently, but to Chen Ping outside the window, this scene was particularly horrifying.

He could barely hold back his breathing, and his heart was beating as if it was about to burst out of his chest.

Is this the Sheep Festival?

Is this the lucky one who was chosen?

He suddenly thought of his mother, could it be that my mother also... He shuddered and shuddered.

No, if you want to call the police, you must escape and call the police!

This horrible place must be destroyed!

At this time, the old village chief was taking the final step.

He once again filled the brush with some strange ink. As long as he placed the tip of the brush between his eyebrows, he could maintain Li Rong's "divinity" for a period of time, allowing everyone to take what they wanted.

However, the village chief had just placed the tip of the ink-filled brush between Li Rong's eyebrows.

Suddenly.

Chen Ping retreated quietly, and just as he was about to leave, the moment he lowered the wooden window, he made a sound!

"Click——"

The subtle sound was like thunder in the silent ancestral hall!

The old village chief's hand shook, and the tip of the brush stuck between his eyebrows fell to the ground with a "snap" sound.

The old village chief's old face instantly turned pale with fear, and he shouted: "Pick it up quickly! Stick it on! Hurry!"

A strange night wind suddenly came in from the window, causing the brush to roll on the ground several times.

A group of people hurriedly picked up the brush and hurriedly put the tip back between Li Rong's eyebrows.

The old village chief watched nervously for a while, and finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Li Rong kept her eyes tightly closed.

"You guys, find that person just now!"

"Yes! Village chief..."

…

A gust of wind blew in the ancient jungle that had not changed since ancient times.

The ancestral hall where a group of people had gathered just now was empty now.

The girl sitting stiffly on the futon in the ancestral hall was wearing a sheepskin, with two black sheep horns stuck in her temples. The blood stains on her face had been carefully processed, and even her expression had been shaped into a smile.

However, no one in Xianyang Village who had gone to bed knew...

The girl who shouldn't have opened her eyes now opened her eyes in the dark ancestral hall...

August 20th, eight o'clock in the morning.

Qin Manjiang had arrived in Mishan County last night.

Today is the day when the game starts. If he wants to enter Xianyang Village, there are only two buses throughout the day, one in the morning and one in the evening. He must come here early to wait.

But... what about the others?

As soon as this thought occurred, he heard a man's voice:

"Hello? Kid, here!"

I?

child?

Qin Manjiang followed the sound and saw a middle-aged man with droopy eyelids sitting in the driver's seat of an off-road vehicle. He was unshaven and looked a bit unkempt. However, when he opened his mouth, it was beyond Qin Manjiang's expectations.

"Hello, kid, I'm Boss Shi."
