Alien space

Ewenjie Square is at the center of Nailu City, and in the center of the square, there is a very huge statue.

—It was a woman.

A snake tail.

Her face is pitiful, her eyes are looking at the sky, tears are frozen on her face, her slightly opened mouth reveals two sharp teeth, her hands hanging under her neck are holding hands in pain, and a desperate sense of suffocation hits her face.This appearance makes one have to imagine what she is enduring.

But this is only a close-up of a small part of the statue, from the rest, there is no other meaning.

The curly long hair covered most of the chest, and the wings on the back were bowed forward, and the fierce attack was hard to ignore.Not only that, but there are also countless fierce stone snakes behind her, ready to attack. They opened their bloody mouths, showing sharp teeth, and their forked snakes spit out flamboyantly.

The stance is clear, the snakes are rattling for her, not hostile to her.

The first ray of sunlight fell on the face of the statue.

Time speeds up, the sun passes, expands wantonly, and gradually covers the entire space.

clear light.

The people living in Nailu City are relatively diverse, and there are enough people for nineteen types.

Compared with yesterday, today's streets are more decorated.

One of the most obvious changes is the street level.

The bright red carpet outlined with golden threads is spread out on the main street, starting from the direction of the four small islands and going straight to the destination.

Throughout the night, the movement did not stop.

Chen Jianchu didn't sleep very well, but fortunately he was energetic and there was nothing serious.

Yan got up earlier than him, and even went out to come back.

"It's very lively outside now. After Chu has breakfast, let's go and have a look."

Yan said.

When he passed by the long table by the wall, he placed the paper bag on it without stopping, and walked straight to Chen Jianchu.

As usual, Yan hugged Chen Jianchu who was sitting on the bed.

It's a soothing hug.

The hand hanging by his side moved, and Chen Jianchu slowly grabbed the cloth around Yan's waist.

At this distance, he can feel the temperature belonging to the other party, and if he gets closer, he can feel the ups and downs of the muscles.

These are the characteristics of being alive.

Scenes that happen every day.

After all, only in this way can Chen Jianchu be convinced of the authenticity of Yan's existence.

"Do you want to sleep a little longer? Chu's breathing is a bit heavy."

Yan said.

Chen Jianchu shook his head.

No move.

He neither spoke nor got up.

With him like this, Yan didn't say anything, kept silent and let him continue to cling.

After a while, Chen Jianchu reluctantly let go of his hand, and then, he grabbed Yan's clothes again, and looked at him without saying a word.

The emotions and thoughts expressed in the eyes are very pure.

Yan understood what he meant, leaned over and pecked lightly his own lips.

"Get up quickly."

That being said, the tone did not imply urging or impatience, on the contrary, it was very lenient and slow.

This time, Chen Jianchu got his wish.

He lifted the quilt, got out of bed, and went to wash.

Chen Jianchu didn't have the habit of folding quilts, so he would spread the quilts on the bed at most.

What's more, with Yan, he even saved this effort.

When Chen Jianchu came out, the paper bag was already empty, and Yan took out the breakfast inside.

Apparently, there are two kinds of breakfast.

One is purchased, and the other is from Yan.

"Chu can try the food here, if you don't like it, you can eat my cooking."

Yan said so.

Chen Jianchu took a bite, chewed, and swallowed expressionlessly.

Seeing his indifferent mood, Yan knew that he didn't like it.

Yan exchanged the two breakfasts, noticed Chen Jianchu's gaze, Yan looked over, and Yan Yan said: "Chu's stomach is not good, let's eat some moderate diet."

Chen Jianchu has no desire to speak now, it's not because he's tired of Yan, or anything, it's just his personality.

Facing Yan's tenderness and consideration, Chen Jianchu inevitably softened.

With a hum, he responded to Yan.

Yan finished the breakfast that was excluded for Chen Jianchu and bought very naturally. His attitude was very peaceful, and he was not at all dissatisfied with Chen Jianchu's taciturnity since he woke up.

"Finish? Do you want to go out?"

After Chen Jianchu took the last bite, he turned his eyes to Yan.

Yan noticed it immediately and asked.

"Are they firing a salute?"

Chen Jianchu asked.

"There are none now, but they all carry dragonborn blood, and the smell is a bit strong."

"Go and see, once in a hundred years."

"it is good."

"Chu."

Before going out, Yan stopped Chen Jianchu.

Chen Jianchu put his hand on the door, and stopped the strength he wanted to use.

He looked back at Yan.

Yan stepped forward, stretched out his hands to straighten his collar, his gaze drooped.

Chen Jianchu also looked down.

On the side of his neck, there was a vague imprint.

The signs are faint and not a recent product.

This is left over from 'Yan' when he was in Philotlein.

Every time, he had to re-brand it again, and he couldn't see it fading at all, which made it deeper and deeper.

Chen Jianchu didn't forget how long Yan was silent after recovering his mind.

At that time, although he was expressionless, his mood must have exploded.

Moreover, since his mind returned, Yan never touched him again.

After all, during the time in Philotlein, they were very intemperate. 'Yan' was reckless again, he didn't know the severity of his strikes, tossing Chen Jianchu enough.

Originally, Chen Jianchu couldn't stand it very well.

After straightening his collar, Yan pushed open the door.

The sky above the city today is different from yesterday, and is no longer occupied by species.

There are colorful hot air balloons floating in the sky, as well as dyed paper tapes and traces of paper kites.

It was a little far away, and Chen Jianchu couldn't see it very clearly, but it seemed to have animal fur.

The streets were crowded with people, almost clinging to each other, making it difficult to move an inch. Many people became irritable. They were anxious and worried that they would not be able to occupy a good position.

If the ban hadn't been issued, I'm afraid it wouldn't be the turn to grab a seat today, and someone would have come to guard it a few days before the festival.

All the roads are full of people, but the expensive and beautiful carpet is empty, no one steps on it, and no one uses the flying organ. Wang, no one does that.

It’s weird.

Even other creatures were not seen, the sky was so clean that only those few dead things remained.

Although there were many people, Chen Jianchu was well protected by Yan, and he was basically not crowded.

Frankly speaking, this scene was beyond Chen Jianchu's expectations.

Not to mention how much he was interested.

If it wasn't for Yan, Chen Jianchu probably wouldn't have come out.

He was always like this, lacking interest in everything.

"Can we see it?"

As the crowd moved forward, there was also a reason why they were not too far away from the square. After ten minutes, they could glimpse the head of the statue.

Here, it is already difficult to get any closer.

"Of course." Yan said.

Before Chen Jianchu could speak, he heard Yan say: "Chu here."

In fact, Chen Jianchu didn't even know how to get there. In short, Yan dragged him through the crowd, and finally climbed onto a terrace.

This location has a good view of the statue in the center of the square and the crowd below.

Undoubtedly, there are double doors behind the terrace.

"Are we breaking into a private house like this?"

Chen Jianchu only glanced at him, and focused more on Yan.

"Maybe it doesn't count." Yan said, "This room is empty and does not belong to anyone."

Chen Jianchu: "Since Yan knows, then the locals should know even more. How could we take advantage of this loophole?"

Facing Chen Jianchu's extremely detailed cross-examination, Yan answered them one by one.

"For the reason of Ji Ya, nineteen kinds of people regard snakes as fetishes, but not all of them think so, maybe they think so, but this does not hinder their behavior. Some people think that as long as they eat the fetishes flesh and blood, you can avoid sickness, death, and so on.”

"Someone killed a lot of snakes, and this room is a stronghold."

No one dared to approach here easily, they were afraid of being punished by the gods.

Therefore, it is an abandoned place.

Jian Yan even inquired about this kind of thing, Chen Jianchu knew it, and Yan would definitely go to understand this festival completely.

"It's about to start."

Yan said.

As Yan's voice fell, the noisy world became silent in an instant.

I saw nineteen kinds of people kneeling down on one knee in unison, and something floating in the air exploded.

Extremely loud to the eardrums.

Chen Jianchu looked up, and all he could see was some lingering smoke, and that wisp of smoke soon dissipated, unable to enter his eyes again.

There were deep humming sounds from all directions, and a female voice was singing. The melody was clear and simple, and it had the atmosphere of the beginning. Even without the decoration of musical instruments, it still showed its style.

This chant lasted only about 1 minute. After it stopped, people kneeling on the ground stood up one after another.

Chen Jianchu was about to ask Yan what the meaning of the red carpet was, when he saw the statue shrouded in a shadow.

What came with the wind was a strong smell of blood.

The dark red blood flowed down from the sky, pouring over the head of the statue, and the sad stone surface was covered with blood, and it meandered downwards.

The blood is not slow, not one-sided, it's just that the stone surface is the highest, and it's the first to be stained with blood.

Shoulders, wings, stone snakes... etc. were all washed with thick blood.

For these, nineteen kinds of people cheered, which contained excitement and excitement.

They danced on blood-stained stone slabs in various styles.

They pulled out the leather hip pots, unknotted them, and spilled their blood.

Splashing bright red wantonly, smearing bright paint on other people's faces, slaughtering species on the spot, splashing blood directly on the statue, and placing the still warm corpse respectfully in front of the base of the statue, the severed blood vessels are trickling with liquid, meandering on the ground……

From the corner of my eye, I could see blood spattering on the wall.

Although I had already been mentally prepared for this festival, I never thought it would be like this.

The hand holding Yan Xiang was gently pulled away, Chen Jianchu looked over.

Yanzheng was watching him, with regret in his black eyes, he asked gently: "Is Chu afraid?"

Chen Jianchu opened his lips in the hustle and bustle: "No, it's just that I haven't seen this kind of thing."

After saying that, Chen Jianchu shook Yan's hand a little harder to show that he was okay, and asked, "Does Yan know why they did this?"

Yan nodded and said: "The blood used in the blood sacrifice is all taken from the descendants of dragons. The reason why only the blood of descendants of dragons is taken is that in the past, the first place in the diet of descendants of dragons was all kinds of people. And their blood contains It has a lot of energy, and many species are afraid of dragonborn. It is undoubtedly the best to use this as a guide. Besides, the dragonborn is of a high level, it can not only act as a deterrent, but also wash away the humiliation of the past."

It turned out that they poured blood on the statue in order to transfer energy to Giya, who had long since passed away.

As for the species slaughtered and sacrificed on the spot, it is easier to understand.

——The energy of living creatures is far greater than that of dead creatures.

Yan raised his finger to the sky, those kite-shaped objects.

"Did Chu see it?"

Chen Jianchu: "Yes."

Yan withdrew his hand, looked at Chen Jianchu, and said: "They will also peel off the most proud spoils and seal them up until the festival. If there is a better one during the period, they will replace them. When it is time to hang them, they will The most precious and rarest intact leather tubes will be selected."

This is a way to demonstrate achievements and abilities, and it is also a way to comfort ancestors.

Chen Jianchu didn't know what Yi Shengnuo was like before, but in the main space, it seemed that there were priests in every era.

Thinking about it carefully, he didn't know much about the sacrifices of foreign races, he only knew that the chief priest was the highest executor.

Thinking of this, Chen Jianchu's gaze sank.

At present, the foreign race has not yet selected a new long sacrifice.

"Let me tell Chu about the meaning of the red carpet."

Chen Jianchu looked up at Yan and said, "The carpet faces the four islands."

Yan nodded, and said: "It is said that after the death of the snake girl Jiya, the body was divided into four parts, the wings, the snake tail, the human body, the head, and the four islands buried these limbs. And the red carpet is the energy transmission they selected bring."

"They dismembered her?"

"This is impossible to know. There are many rumors circulating, and it is always a way of praising."

Chen Jian Chumo came down, and he asked: "The festival is not over so soon, is it? It will take at least one day."

After all, it is once in a hundred years.

Yan said: "It's a day, when the sun rises, it's over."

One day is enough for them to show their talents.

However, what they do will not be too beautiful.

—for a dying species.

Chen Jianchu was quiet for a moment, then asked: "Then what shall we eat today?"

What this sentence asks is not what dish we eat today, but whether we have something to eat today.

In the temporary hut, Chen Jianchu didn't see any ingredients, and with the current situation, who would open the door for business?

The nineteen kinds of people don't take it seriously if they don't eat for a day.

Whether he eats or not, Chen Jianchu doesn't care, the main reason is that he doesn't want Yan to be hungry.

It was because of his negligence that he did not anticipate the duration of the ceremony and prepared the ingredients in advance.

"Does Chu want to eat mushrooms?"

Yan asked.

Chen Jianchu looked at Yan with some doubts.

"Where does Yan want to pick it?"

It is impossible to buy, and the rest may be obtained by yourself.

Yan said: "I heard that there is a place where the mushrooms are very good."

There are no mushrooms in the diet of nineteen kinds of people. In their eyes, they are like grass and trees, which are really hard to swallow.

Therefore, it is relatively easy for them to order mushrooms.

Suddenly, Chen Jianchu remembered something.

He didn't know the length of the memorial ceremony, but Yan knew it. Besides, Yan always made more preparations than him, so how could he let this happen?

Come to think of it, Yan had already planned to pick mushrooms.

So, what kind of place is Yan going to go?

Chen Jianchu became curious.
