I Created the Myth of the Old Ruler

,

It stands to reason that a newlywed should be full of celebration, auspiciousness and joy.

However, the wedding at the Hai family mansion seemed rather weird.

Those musicians playing joy have unnaturally white faces, only two cheeks, smeared with funny blush, and the same red lips, matched with the excessively red paper clothes on their bodies, the lively melody almost becomes sad mourning.

The crowd of onlookers was indifferent, they just mechanically repeated the movement of waving their hands, and even the smiles on their faces were as hypocritical as if they were painted on.

The wedding scene was obviously noisy, noisy, and enthusiastic, but there was a certain cold, quiet, and chilling atmosphere.

Lu Jian saw that in the lobby, the master and wife of the Hai family were sitting on chairs, waiting for the new couple.

And beside them stood a man in black and a mask.

That must be the bridegroom of the Hai family.

Even if no one explained it, Lu Jian knew about it.

Because the mask is too conspicuous.

It was a fish mask, with a mediocre fish head that can be seen everywhere. The whole body was blue and black, and matched with the black clothes on the man, it looked like a walking fish.

The sedan chair came to the front yard, and the men who were carrying the sedan chair put it down slowly, and stepped back numbly to make way for the sedan chair.

"It's a bit strange. In a normal wedding, the bride should be sent directly to the worship hall, but this place is far from the lobby..."

Drizzt caught a glimpse of the black tower.

Yes, the position where the bride's sedan chair landed was in front of the lake tower of the mansion.

A road is connecting the tower from the shore.

The curtain of the sedan chair was lifted, and a woman in a red wedding dress and a red hijab came out slowly.

Her movements were stiff, and every step was full of tremors, as if she was struggling hard, resisting the "some" existence that controlled her body.

This causes the bride's movements to be stumbling and extremely slow.

But no one cares.

The music is still playing, passers-by are still ostentatious, the bridegroom of the Hai family is waiting in place, staring at the tower.

A thought came to Drizzt's mind. He knew that the bride still had a certain amount of rationality, and the so-called process of combining the bride and groom was probably the process of erasing the last remaining rationality.

It must be some kind of nightmarish sight that wears away reason just by looking at it.

He and Lu Jian stood at the entrance of the lobby, watching the bride walk towards the black tower surrounded by chains.

It wasn't until the bride stood in front of the tower that she finally stopped, standing in an unnatural posture, like a marionette.

All the playing music stopped abruptly, and then, some kind of melody from ancient times sounded.

Surrounding the bride are people wearing the same mask as the groom. These people wear black robes and fish head masks, dancing beside the bride.

It was a dance that Lu Lian had never seen before.

In folklore, singing and dancing are closely related to sacrifices. The prototype of many dances comes from imitation, imitating animals and natural landscapes that humans see.

But what kind of prototype can give birth to such a dance?

The bodies of those people were distorted into a shape that completely violated the physiological structure. Just looking at it, it seemed as if they could hear the sound of bones breaking.

One of them turned his body more than 360 degrees, folded his hands together, and stretched upwards, as if he was praying to a god who didn't know where;

One of them fell backwards, his back was directly attached to his buttocks, and his hands and feet overlapped, forming a strange symbol.

One of them hugged his hands in opposite directions, meeting behind his back, his body bent as much as possible, like a huge meat ball.

The bones and internal organs seemed to be temporarily pulled out of these people, making them shape like mud.

The accompanying music has no sense of melody, just like the noise of fingernails scratching the smooth blackboard, like the wailing of some monster from hundreds of millions of years ago.

It is impossible to imagine what kind of scenes the existence of creating this dance has witnessed to generate such inspiration and weave a dance that is frightening, awe-inspiring, and frightening.

"This praying wave dance doesn't look like a serious thing."

Lu Jian sighed with emotion, even without the pollution of the Black Queen Mother, the people of the Hai family would have been doomed to alienation.

No matter how they struggle, no matter how they resist, the fate of their entire family has been decided thousands of years ago.

Maybe it came from an accidental worship, maybe it came from a dangerous exploration, maybe it came from some ancient books, the ancestors of the Hai family mastered the extraordinary power brought by this dance, they walked the land and came to Dry Water Town , living here for decades, perhaps, this is the starting point for their ancestors to gain power.

Just as those dancers were tormenting the minds of the viewers, an even more unbelievable situation appeared.

The solid, dark, and icy tower started to squirm.

Those bricks, tiles, stone pillars, and pavilions seemed to be given life, becoming soft, and the tower was returning to life like a colossal giant that had just awakened.

Lu Jian finally knew why the tower was locked with chains.

Because it is itself a living thing.

Like a cocoon formed by a huge worm, the tower bound by the chains trembled constantly, causing the chains to jingle and rattle, echoing in the ears.

And the bride didn't move her footsteps, standing in front of the tower that was gradually recovering, she raised her hand and assumed a sacrificial posture.

Drizzt could tell at a glance that this was exactly the movement of the gray-white fish-headed stone statue he had seen in the fog the night before.

Could it be this high tower that those fish-head men worshiped?

The revolver in Drizzt's hand was ready to go.

Because the current situation made him feel that even if he and Lu Jian could successfully witness the union of the bride and groom, it would be difficult for him to survive the wedding.

quack quack quack -

The top of the tower slowly cracked open.

From the tip of the high tower split into four petals, countless black tentacles can be seen slowly spreading out.

Like stamens, countless thick tentacles trembled constantly, stretching towards the bride.

In the center of the stamen, there is a dirty mud.

In an instant, the entire Hai family mansion was filled with the stench of metal, but no one expressed dissatisfaction. Everyone's eyes were full of enthusiasm. They raised their hands high to welcome this scene.

Lu Jian recognized that the silt was the liquid in the lungs of the terrible murloc.

"This means..."

He had already guessed the last secret of the Hai family and the Black Queen Mother.

Lu Jian glanced around, and Drizzt squinted his eyes directly, trying to delay the loss of sanity caused by the scene of this ugly and profane creature devouring the bride.

The mud was poured on New Year's body, smearing dirt on the pure bright red wedding dress, and the red hijab had already been swept away by the mud.

The bride's face was exposed, her face was bloodless, her eyes were pitch-black, and countless, life-like silt instantly penetrated from her mouth, nose, ears, and every inch of her body.

The entire pond turned into a sea of ​​black silt, and the silt that exuded a metallic stench was like a flower of evil, blooming in the pale noon sun.

At this moment, the groom of the Hai family also took off his mask.

Lu Jian saw that it was a fish.

The groom didn't have a human head, only the head of a fish. The eyes that exuded strange light, the body covered with scales, and the webs between the fingers seemed to be exactly the same as the corpse in the cave.

He didn't speak, just jumped forward.

Jump into the mud.
