Soul Painter

The mysterious Bengka Nuo dance.

Govan is just famous.

But he will see you soon.

When it was a few hundred meters away from Bunka Village.

It has been seen that in the black sky, the mountain in front seems to have been ignited.

A huge flame rushed into the sky, and the night sky was surrounded by blue smoke, and the stars were dimmed.

Together with the boiling atmosphere and mysterious singing, it fell from the top of the mountain.

"...Ah, ah, hello~ Treasurer~ Kalu, hello~ Bengka~"

Gao Fan suddenly had a feeling of ambiguity. He always thought it was a whisper from an ancient existence, the background sound of the world, but at this moment, it was actually sung in his ears.

"It's so spectacular~" Ding Dang said.

Ren Youran looked back at the two silent, masked Bunka people behind them from time to time.

"Don't be afraid. It's said in the guide. This is a special welcome ceremony in Bengka Village. During the Nuo dance, people from the tribe will go down the mountain to greet the respected guests and escort them up the mountain. Because it is a ceremony to worship the gods, Bengka During this period, the clansmen are silent." Ding Dang said to Ren Youran and Gao Fan.

He also took out his notebook and opened the handwritten strategy for the two of them to read—because he knew that the mobile phone could not be turned on when he arrived in Bengka Village, so he made handwritten notes.

"It's a good thing you didn't scare me away, otherwise I wouldn't have seen such a mysterious and spectacular sacrificial activity~" Ding Dang said to Gao Fan again.

It wasn't me who was scared to pee my pants just now...Gao Fan ignored Ding Dang, looked at the Bunka Village that was getting closer, and then looked at the two Bunka people behind him...It's weird.

"But the owner of the farmhouse with two faces..." Ren Youran peeked at the two strong and silent Bunka people behind him again, and whispered, still feeling terrified.

"Didn't they say it, they were talking with a mask on, we heard it wrong." Ding Dang said carelessly.

"Have you noticed?" Gao Fan said to the two girls, "The silverware they wear is black."

The costumes of the Bengka people are quite similar to those of the Miao people. They wear silverware on their wrists and necks, but the color of those silverware is black.

"Silver will turn black when it encounters sulfur. This is chemical knowledge, but silver will also turn black after being with the corpse for a long time. This is the knowledge of tomb robbery." Gao Fan smiled.

ah! Ren Youran shuddered, and couldn't help but grab Ding Dang.

"I think you're smiling more like a villain! Leave him alone! Let's go to the Nuo dance!" At this time, we were very close to Bengka Village, and we could see that there were many people gathered in the village, all of whom were tourists. Ding Dang and Ren Youran felt quite safe, so they trot over to join them.

As for Gao Fan, he has another feeling, the closer he gets to Bengka Village.

The warm, boiling mysterious atmosphere became more and more obvious.

Now Gao Fan looked up at the brightly lit village.

Bengka Village is a typical village structure, and still retains the architectural style of dozens or even hundreds of years ago, which is also one of the selling points that attract tourists to visit here.

Another selling point is the Bengka culture. The Bengka mask is a derivative of this culture. The connotation of this culture, when translated, is 'everything comes from the tree and goes to the tree'.

In order to sacrifice Bengka, Bengka Nuo Dance is held every few months.

The Bengka Nuo Dance is strictly forbidden to take pictures, and it is also forbidden to record it with all modern photography and cameras. According to the reason, it should be banned repeatedly. After all, you can take pictures with a mobile phone now, but because Bengka Village is in the magical magnetic field, so So far, there are no videos or photos of Bengka Nuo Dance on the Internet, which is especially mysterious.

...

Fiery sound waves.

Like the high temperature from a volcano, it spewed out from Bunka Village.

The closer he got, the more clearly Gao Fan could see the carnival.

In the center is a huge bonfire.

Beside the bonfire are dozens of Bunka villagers singing and dancing.

They all wore Bunka masks on their heads and danced an ancient dance, but no one made a sound. This silent and mysterious ceremony echoed the sound of wind and fire passing by in the barren mountains at night, and had a particularly barbaric and ancient The breath makes tourists hold their breath involuntarily, and their minds are captured by it.

And the one surrounded by the Nuo dance and accepting the sacrifice is Bengka.

A huge black ancient tree.

It was the tree that Gao Fan saw in his phantom when he came into contact with the Bunka mask.

Its height and breadth are enough to cover the entire Bungka Village.

Thousands of residents of Bunka Village are the young human beings who live under its protection.

It is crash card.

A giant tree that is the "origin of mankind" and will also become the "end of mankind".

The first time Gao Fan saw this tree, he even thought it was a mountain peak. In the night, it looked extremely tall and huge.

Great to be awe-inspiring.

I would like to crawl at your feet and become the soil in your root system... a heartfelt awe and love is rolling in Gao Fan's mind.

No, it's trying to infect me. Gao Fan's knowledge of occultism made him resistant to the occult and made it easier for him to approach the occult.

Suddenly, after Gao Fan finally stepped into Bengka Village.

The system suddenly swiped a task: 'Investigate the truth about Bengka Village'.

Reward, 10 points of SAN value.

Is this reward a bit small?

Does the system think that Bengka Village is not worth investigating?

At this time, the mystery that made up in the air suddenly boiled.

There was a burst of roaring cheers from the tourists.

And the direction of this voice is under the big tree, on a high platform.

Gao Fan saw a white-haired old woman on crutches, trembling up to the high platform. She was wearing a huge Bunka mask half as tall as her, looking like a monster with only a face.

Tourists cheered to her: "The Great Elder is here!"

Gao Fan has seen the introduction, this is the climax of the Nuo dance, and the elder will give the blessing of Bengka, that is, the Bengka mask, to all tourists.

It's a sacrifice.

Like Lin Senhao's identity with the Invisible Son.

Gao Fan thought.

"We..." the voice of the priest was a little low, "We would like to thank Bunka for providing a comfortable shelter for human beings before the end of the world is coming."

"Bengka!" The audience shouted, and Gao Fan shouted especially vigorously when he saw Ding Dang.

"We still need to save more humans. You all need to save humans and find more sacrifices to make Bunka stronger and better able to protect us in the apocalypse!" the priest roared hoarsely.

"Broken card!" Tourists cheered again.

Doomsday, cults, sacrifices, demons, minions... all the classic elements are in place, Gao Fan thought.

"Please examine the sacrifice, Bengka, and give us the fruit of eternal life!" The priest raised his crutch upwards and shouted.

The big black tree trembled violently.

Immediately afterwards, the crown of the tree began to look like a living thing, and branches hung down.

On each branch, there is a Bunka mask.

It looks like there are countless heads hanging.

A mask was hung in front of Gao Fan.

Gao Fan looked up at this scene, the flames were lingering, the black tree hung down the mysterious mask, and the ignorant people stretched out their hands to inherit the mask, not knowing that what they inherited was not a blessing but a curse... What a wonderful creative theme! .
