Someone in the crowd respectfully brought out a bowl of water and handed it to Yu Jin.

The goddess was furious, her crutches slammed on the ground, and cursed something in a dialect that Yu Jin couldn't understand.

However, the villagers were crowded and surrounded by the goddess. Rao was a noble woman, but she was still just an old man, so she could only sit on the side and hit her crutches in anger.

Yu Jin picked up the bowl, still hesitating, but the goddess smashed the bowl with a cane, muttered in her mouth, and raised her wrist.

Yu Jin knew that she was going to use incense again, and was going to avoid her.

Unexpectedly, the power of the goddess was greater than he thought, and she pressed him on the chair and couldn't move, and forcefully put the sachet under his nose.

The rich aroma poured into his nose, and he passed out again.

Yu Jin was awakened by the cold water choking his nose. He opened his eyes and found that his hands and feet were tied, his mouth and nose were sealed, and he was put into a sack with stones in it, and he was sinking to the bottom of the river.

He held his breath, called out a knife, cut the ropes on his hands and feet, untied the shackles at his mouth and nose, pierced the sack, and got out of the bag.

The river is not too deep, he has good water, calm down, and quickly surfaced.

He was about to swim to the shore, but his feet were entangled by the water plants. In desperation, he had to dive again and cut the water plants.

A group of small fish swam out of the water plants and rushed towards his face.

Yu Jin tilted his face, his breath was chaotic for a moment, he almost choked on water, and his body was entangled by more water plants.

The water plants are like a soft cage, imprisoning him deep in the river bottom.

Fortunately, the blade was sharp, he cut off the surrounding water plants, quickly swam back to the river, and changed his breath.

Ding He was standing on the shore, and when he saw his head sticking out, he squatted down and stretched out his hand, ready to pull him ashore.

Yu Jin's mood suddenly brightened, and he swam towards him.

But the water came to a turn, and there was a whirlpool not far away. He had already spent a lot of effort because he was fighting with the water plants, and at this time he was no longer able to deal with it as easily as usual.

Ding He's expression changed slightly, he jumped into the water, clamped his body, and dragged him to the shore.

The river seemed to sense his presence and automatically moved aside to make way for a passage.

Ding He dragged Yu Jin ashore and laid it flat on the ground. Yu Jin wiped his face, coughed twice, and sat up.

He dried the water on his body and leaned on Ding He.

Ding He saw that he looked tired and touched his face to ask him to rest.

Yu Jin opened his eyes and stared at the river in a daze: "Why do they use this method again?"

Ding He's voice carried a soothing power: "Which method?"

"The day before yesterday, they were going to drown me. , this time again in the same way."

He was also stunned, and then threw him into the water, wanting him to drown in the water.

Just once in an airtight box and once in a river.

Although rain and rivers are both related to water, it is not easy to come up with related rituals, but this method is too similar.

"Maybe they think that the last time they gave you a chance to wake up and escape, there may be fewer escapes this time. It may also be that they have no other way."

It sank directly to the bottom of the river, of course Much quicker and more effective than letting water slowly submerge the body.

Yu Jin suddenly felt that the sacrifice on the fourth day might not kill him.

But there are still problems. If they just wanted to kill him, what method did they use? The easiest thing is to beat him to death with a stick while he is asleep, fearing that he might be secretly poisoned in his drinking water in a head-on conflict.

I also felt that he angered the gods and wanted to kill him, but it was actually a very contradictory thing.

He frowned and analyzed: "They want to kill me, and they don't need to be limited to rituals... Unless a person of high standing strongly advocates it. Besides, they know that I have weapons that can break the box and the door of the secret room, and dare to use this kind of weapon. If they want to kill me, they will search my body first to make sure I don't have anything special on me. But I didn't change the clothes myself last time. They should know that the weapon is not hidden on the body. Unless..."

Unless the goddess didn't put the Tell them about that.

He wondered a little now what was in the bowl of water in the morning. He originally thought it was an ordinary drug, but now it doesn't seem so simple.

Yu Jin's eyes flickered, and he stopped talking about this topic. Instead, he buried his head on the side of his neck, murmured a few words, and fell asleep again.

The next day he woke up by himself and sat on the bank waiting for the goddess to pick him up.

When the sun rose over the branches, I didn't see the goddess. Instead, I saw a few ordinary villagers appear with salvage tools. They found him sitting upright on the shore, his face changed greatly, and they exchanged a few words with each other fiercely, and ran. back to the village.

Yu Jin could only organize his clothes, and followed them back to the village slowly.

He still didn't know the structure of the village, so he didn't dare to walk around before.

He didn't hide his whereabouts deliberately, and the villagers in front turned back from time to time with ugly expressions, as if being followed by evil spirits.

But they didn't dare to come up to fight directly, for fear of what disaster would happen to him.

Yu Jin'an returned to Yu Cheng's house safely and saw him sitting melancholy by the door, holding a box in his hand.

When Yu Cheng saw him coming back, his eyes lit up and he was a little worried.

Yu Jin looked at the box in his hand, which he dug out in the mountains, and asked vigilantly, "What is this?"

Yu Cheng frowned: "Are you here? It was given to you by the goddess, she said that she will not be here today. I'm here. The clothes are brought here, you can wear them as you want, and after you pack up, go to the house with the big red lanterns by yourself at night."

"Isn't the house with the red lanterns an ancestral hall?"

Yu Cheng was stunned: "Yes, but there are other houses, right? I remember that the lanterns of the ancestral hall have not been lit for a long time."

"Did the goddess say why he didn't come? ?" Yu Jin took the box, opened it, and found a crumpled spell with a hole in it.

"She didn't say it." Yu Cheng also came over to see, "What is this? A spell?"

Yu Jin closed the box: "Nothing. Where would the goddess be at this time?"

"I know where the goddess's house is, so I can take you with me. Let's go and see." Yu Cheng also felt strange, but saw him throw the box into the room and shouted, "Aren't you holding it?"

Yu Jin had already entered the room to wash up, and the voice came from a distance: "I No need."

Yu Cheng couldn't figure it out, so he could only wait for him to clean up and take him to the godmother's house. Along the way, I met a lot of villagers, and they were all hostile to them.

As soon as he entered the house of the goddess, he saw a middle-aged woman crying, pounced and grabbed Yu Jin's clothes: "Where's my mother-in-law? Where's my mother-in-law?"

Yu Jin calmly and resolutely took his hand away, stood behind Yu Cheng and let him He helped himself: "What happened to your mother-in-law?"

"My mother-in-law is gone!" Yu Cheng asked in surprise, "The goddess is

gone?"

Yu Jin took the opportunity to look around the room, making sure that every time he saw the trace of the goddess, Yu Cheng was left alone to comfort the middle-aged woman.

Yu Cheng was in a dilemma, but the middle-aged woman cried really badly, and looked like she was about to beat Yu Jin, as if he had determined that he killed the goddess.

After Yu Jin came out, he went to the ancestral hall. There is indeed a pair of lanterns hanging at the entrance of the ancestral hall, but it is only during the day that it is impossible to see whether the lanterns will be lit at night. He touched the pillar at the entrance of the ancestral hall. The color was dull and the paint was peeling off.

There was a coffin in the center of the ancestral hall, as he had seen on the first night.

He pushed open the coffin, and inside was lying the goddess, who had lost his breath.

Spots have appeared on the corpse, and it seems that he has been dead for some time.

The ice that was originally placed in the coffin has melted, because no one has come to replace the ice inside, and the degree of decay of the corpse has returned to normal.

Yu Jin closed the lid of the coffin, and silently returned to Yu Cheng's house.

The goddess didn't come at night, but another group of people came. They were all strong and sturdy. At first glance, they had done a lot of farm work and their physical strength was far superior to ordinary people.

They all gathered in front of the door, and they looked fierce and vicious. Yu Cheng couldn't help but take two steps back and secretly asked Yu Jin, "Why are there so many people?"

Except for the first day, he had never seen such a posture.

Yu Jin was wearing a bright red wedding dress, and the whole face was made more bright. He carefully adjusted the folds of his clothes, raised his head slightly, and walked out: "Probably today's ceremony is important." The

villagers enthusiastically offered to send him to the wedding scene.

"No need, I'll go by myself." Yu Jin glanced coldly, and quietly lit a flame at the person who was going to come up to press him.

The man was so hot that he didn't dare to be impulsive even with other people.

A middle-aged woman stood up and said she was just leading the way for him.

This person Yu Jin had an impression. In the morning, he said that he would kill him to avenge the goddess, and in the evening he was full of enthusiasm.

Yu Jin asked her to walk in front, keeping a distance from her.

After walking for a while, the middle-aged woman stopped in front of a house, her eyes were cold, but a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, telling him that she had arrived.

Yu Jin shook his head: "It's not here." The

middle-aged woman looked impatient: "It's here."

"There are no red lanterns on the door." Yu Jin looked at the flamboyant red light in the distance, his eyes were clear, "If I guess correctly, it should be a group of thugs waiting for me in this house." If disasters are brought about, and then let him perform the ritual, it will definitely lead to more disasters. He must be killed before the ritual is completely finished to quell the anger of the gods.

Every time they hit the killer, it's a pity that every time Yu Jin escaped, and now it's time to gamble.

After he finished speaking, the middle-aged woman's face changed obviously, and she shouted something.

Yu Jin's body ignited a flame as gorgeous as Xifu, like a phoenix in a flame, showing a cold and mocking smile to the middle-aged woman and other villagers: "It's a pity you can't stop me."

The middle-aged woman closest to him screamed and covered her face to avoid it.

"I'm not going to do anything to you, I just want to complete the ceremony."

The thugs hiding in the dark were afraid of the flames on him, and they didn't dare to show their heads for the time being, but just followed him with a gloomy look.

As Yu Jin walked all the way, the flames floated all the way, and the soul fire of the undead souls repeatedly surrounded the whole street, which illuminated the whole street so brightly, as if it were daytime.

He found the newly painted ancestral hall with red lanterns hanging on the door, and pushed the door in.

The ancestral hall has just been renovated, and now there are red silk cloths hanging everywhere, which looks particularly festive.

In the center of the ancestral hall, there is a dark coffin. The lid of the coffin was tightly closed, and the scent of spices seemed to be leaking from the gap.

He closed the door of the ancestral hall and pushed open the lid of the coffin.

There was nothing in the coffin, except for some spices.
