Chapter 119

"I think that's weird, too." I nodded and agreed with Qi Ziyi.

So I had a heated discussion with Qi Ziyi. Zuo Xintong didn't speak. He just listened to us. Then he stood up and looked at the crazy woman sitting opposite through the crack of the door.

"Zuo Xintong, what are you thinking?" I looked at Zuo Xintong's meditation and asked curiously.

Hearing my question, Zuo Xintong looked up at us. Then she got up and sat down in front of us. Her expression was very serious, which made me nervous unconsciously.

"Let's put the whole thing together today." Zuo Xintong said suddenly.

"You said I nodded and heard Zuo Xintong say so, which proved that she had thought clearly in her heart.

"First of all, after we met the ghost fighting against the wall, we finally came out and came into a big fog. In the words of the little black cat, there was resentment, evil and evil in the fog. The fog was so heavy that we looked down on things five meters away. Later, with the smell and hearing of the little black cat, we came out of the fog and saw the big tree full of baby mummies Zuo Xintong told us what we experienced today from the beginning, "little black cat said that it was an old tree demon, and his cultivation was longer than his years."

"Mo Ming! My name Listen to left Xintong left a small black cat, right a small black cat, Mo Ming really can't help but, raised his head, very proud to correct.

"Then we met the woman who was possessed by the baby spirit. The baby spirit reminded us not to enter the village, that is to say, the baby spirit knew what would happen if we entered the village! I thought the baby spirit was the child of the woman, but when we were forced to follow the villagers to the village, the woman was sober and cried to the village head not to kill her child. This means that the woman's child is still alive, at least for now, so the baby spirit is probably one of those baby mummies hanging from the tree. " Zuo Xintong completely ignored Mo Ming's protest and went on.

"Well, that woman has been begging the village head not to kill her children. Why and how did the village head kill her children? It seems that the whole village acquiesces in this matter! So I thought, would you like to kill the child and hang it on the tree like the mummy babies hanging on the branches, like a kind of memorial ceremony? " Zuo Xintong pause a little, "but why do they do it? What do you do for a tree demon? "

"Why? Afraid that the tree demon will harm the village? " I listen to Zuo Xintong's analysis.

"Lele, do you remember what the village head said when you spoke for that woman?" Zuo Xintong asked me.

I thought about it and recalled what the village head said to me at that time, "he said that they were following the will given by God. If they made God angry, it would not be so easy to avoid natural and man-made disasters at that time!"

"Yes! In fact, the God in their mouth should be the demon tree at the entrance of the village! " Zuo Xintong said what she wanted in her heart, "in order to keep the demon tree from harming the village, they have sacrificed their newborn babies to the tree demon every once in a while for so many years. Looking at the baby mummies full of branches, we can see that this kind of thing has not been going on for one or two years, so the whole village has been numb. Maybe each of them has experienced the pain of losing their children, but in order to keep the village, they have to bear the pain and sacrifice their children. "

"My God! How do you know that, Zuo Xintong? " I looked at Zuo Xintong and saw that she was right and reasonable. I almost thought Zuo Xintong knew the customs of this village before.

"Because I'm a writer of supernatural novels, it's natural for me to insert these clues from the author's point of view." Zuo Xintong said, shrugged to me, "although is my guess, but I dare say, I guess not to leave ten."

"Then the village head said, let's stay in this room and don't go out, no matter what we hear at night! Is it true that the time of sacrifice is this evening? " I follow Zuo Xintong's thought and continue to think about it.

"If you don't want us to see it, why don't you let us go? Instead of putting us under house arrest? " Ziziyi asked questions.

"We must be useful to them, too." Zuo Xintong said with certainty, which I very much agree with.

"It's going to be dark. We have to find a way out." There was no window in this room, only one door. I came to the door again, looked out through the crack of the door, observed for a long time, and then whispered to them, "there are only two people outside guarding us."

"A few people don't matter. The important thing is that we are locked in." Zuo Xintong sighed and said.

"I once learned to unlock locks from my master, and my skill level is fairly good!" Qi Ziyi said to us with a smile, "as long as you can support these two people and give me some time, I should be OK!"

Listening to his words, Zuo Xintong and I stare at him with surprised eyes. We really want to know what Qi Ziyi's master does! I'm good at picking the lock!

"Keep these two people away..." I whispered three times. I saw Mo Ming lying on the bed and wagging his tail leisurely. So I went to him with a smile and said, "Mo Ming, can you help me?"

"What for?" Mo Ming looked at me warily, "I can warn you, I can't beat that tree demon, you take the opportunity to give up that idea!"

"No, no, no! Don't let you beat the tree demon, how about scratching the two villagers with your lovely little claws? As long as you lead them away, we'll have a chance to escape! " I said what I thought.

Mo Ming yawned, jumped out of bed, walked gracefully to the door, pushed the door with his hand, pointed to the gap which was not much thicker than his finger, and said to me, "your cat is not so slim yet!"

"You have become a master of cultivation. How can a mere mortal lock trap you, right?" I think that's enough for me to fart at a cat!

"If I could get the lock off, you wouldn't have to be stuck here." Mo Ming seemed to be very flattering to me, so he was patient, "but this door really can't stop me!" Say, Mo Ming straightened up his small chest again, a face says with pride.

"Look! I'll tell you, why are we trapped in a lock! So our escape plan depends on you! " I put my hands together and squatted on the ground. I said to the little black cat with a flattering face.

"No problem! I can't do anything else. I'm good at scratching people! " I didn't expect that I just flattered him, and Mo Ming agreed happily.
