Early morning June 1, Laika Valley.

The morning sun is slightly dewed, full of vitality, the majestic Himalayas, full of gold, the grand ancestor worship ceremony is about to begin!

The ancestral temple close to the hillside, from the inside to the outside, is newly decorated, hung with golden silk cloth and lanterns, the temple is chanting endlessly, the candlelight is swaying, the cigarette smoke is around, a solemn, ** scenery.

The square in front of the ancestral temple is full of tables and chairs, on which are resting all kinds of mountain delicacies and dried fruits, several bulls and horses dressed up in fancy clothes, tied to several big trees, and in the center a platform about ten meters high has been erected early, and high wooden poles have been erected around it, and decorations of various colors are hung on the wooden poles, which are fluttering in the wind. On a badly faded chair on the platform, sat an elderly woman, dressed in a black gown, skinny, hunched over, with two large bags under her eyes like two wrinkled gray bowls, a mouthful of yellow and black teeth, and when she opened her big mouth, people saw a deep black hole, she was sitting precariously, muttering to herself, as if she was chanting some kind of charm, holding a whisk in her hand, waving it a few times from time to time.

"It's that ugly old woman!" Bai Lotian shouted, pointing to the woman on the platform.

The few of them were sitting on the chairs opposite the platform, and the square wooden table in front of them was also full of all kinds of food, and the sect master style was sitting in the middle, his head slightly raised, and his eyes were fixed on the woman who was chanting the incantation.

After hearing Bai Letian's shout, Style glared at him fiercely, "That's our respected Ah Fang, who can talk to the heavens, bless the descendants of the wind department, avoid disasters and difficulties, and have no worries for all eternity." ”

Bai Lotian was so frightened that he covered his mouth and didn't dare to make a sound, Bai Manshuang glanced at him with a smile, stretched out the fingers of his right hand, and quietly pinched his arm, which hurt Bai Lotian and almost screamed again.

Fengsheng glanced at everyone, his eyes looked at the ancestral temple, he was concerned about the "Houshan Holy Cave", he was concerned about whether today's plan could be successful, and then, his elbow quietly approached Bai Manshuang, signaling that she could act.

Bai Manshuang turned his head suddenly, saw the eyes of the wind, and suddenly thought of his task.

Just last night, when the stars were faint and the surroundings were silent, Bai Manshuang heard a slight knock on the door curtain, she sat up, walked down from the bed, and found a man walking in with a bag of things in his hand.

The person who came was Fengsheng, that is, Yuhong, he came to her, lowered his voice and said: "Tomorrow is the ancestor worship ceremony, and the entire wind department will participate, you have to help me do something." ”

"What's the matter? ”

"There's one thing you can give to the 'Wind Cow' for me. ”

"Who is the Wind Cow? ”

"He's a chef, and tomorrow he'll be in the shed near the square, with the others, preparing the ingredients for the feast. ”

"What's that?"

"A pack of magical seasonings can make everyone drink happily and have a unique ancestor worship ceremony. Fengsheng said through gritted teeth, a vicious look flashing in his eyes.

"Why did you let me go? I don't know the Wind Cow. ”

"Yuhuang, where did you come from so many questions, you said, everything is listened to me, have you forgotten?" The wind became more and more angry, and his eyes were staring at Bai Manshuang,

"Oh, okay then, just listen to you, what's the big deal, even if I don't ask, cut!" Bai Manshuang (Yuhuang) snorted coldly and gave him a white face.

The sound of the wind crept out of the wooden house, floated down, and disappeared into the night in an instant.

Thinking of this, Bai Manshuang said softly: "Dr. Bai, let me go, I'll go out for a while." ”

"Do you want me to accompany you?" Bai Lotian stood up, moved his chair, and made way for Bai Manshuang out of the aisle.

"No need. Bai Manshuang's cheeks flushed slightly.

"Oh, okay, I see. It's crowded now, so be careful and remember the way back. Bai Lotian teased.

White Frost squeezed through the crowd, and from the crowd, he made a way out of the crowd and walked in the direction of a brown shed outside the woods.

When he was still some distance away from the shed, Bai Manshuang saw the curling white smoke rising from a distance, gradually disappearing into the air, and the thick fragrance wafted into the air.

A few brown sheds were scattered along the edge of the woods, and outside the sheds were a few gray goats tethered to graze, and a few fat-headed black pigs, with black ropes tied around their necks, lying on the ground with a chirp, and people walking back and forth from time to time, all wearing brown aprons, holding vegetables and meat in their hands.

Bai Manshuang deliberately pretended to go the wrong way and blended into the shed. There are dozens of chefs in it who are busy, some are chopping vegetables, some are chopping meat, and some are burning the fire at the bottom of the pot, and the broth stewed in the pot is constantly tumbling and emitting aroma.

"Which one is Brother Feng Niu?" Bai Manshuang squeezed in, walked past a few cooks, and asked sweetly.

Hearing her shout, a man of short stature with a pointed head turned to look at her, who was stirring the gruel in a large pot with a long spoon in his hand.

The man put down the long spoon, wiped his hands on his apron, walked to Bai Manshuang's side and said, "You are looking for me, is there something wrong?"

"There's something for you!"

"I don't know you. ”

"'Liu Feng' asked me to come. ”

"Liu Feng?" Feng Niu looked left and right, not finding that others had noticed their conversation, and then, leading Bai Manshuang out of the long shed, came to a place where no one was around.

"What is it?" asked the Wind Ox, looking left and right, in a low voice.

"He said it's spices, let me give it to you. ”

"Well, you hurry up, just don't let anyone else see you've been here if you don't know me. Feng Niu said nervously, reached out and took a paper bag handed over by Bai Manshuang, put it into his arms, and walked back to the shed with a smoke.

Bai Manshuang walked back to Bai Lotian, and the old woman on the platform finished her muttering and walked off the platform. After entering the sacrificial ceremony, the blue-skinned bull and the horse in colorful clothes, led by several young men in gorgeous costumes, walked through the square in turn, walked to the door of the ancestral temple, and stood still.

Then, leading the crowd to the front of the bull and the horse, an old man in a brown and red shirt walked quickly in front of them, facing the vast number of people, opened the scroll of paper in his hand, and began to recite the sacrifice. Then, with the sound of a few trumpets, all the people outside the hall walked to the square and bowed.

After an hour, the Yongchang sacrifice was finally finished, led by the old man, the style as the chief priest, the first to step into the ancestral temple covered with red cloth, and then the wind and the sound of the wind, Bai Lotian and Bai Manshuang as foreign surnames, stayed outside the door.

The noon sun was shining on Bai Letian's face, he touched his belly and said, "Since it is a sacrificial ceremony, there will never be a gluttonous feast, I am already hungry, when will I be able to eat?"

"Hehe, you gluttonous cat, wait, maybe it's going to be night!" Bai Manshuang said with a grin.

Speaking of the feast, Bai Manshuang thought of Feng Niu, remembered the packet of spices handed to him, and secretly said in his heart: "It's not good! That must be a bag of poison, and Feng Niu is Yuhong's accomplice, this is part of his plan, he wants to kill everyone in the Wind Department and fulfill his long-cherished wish." ”

It is estimated that the meal for the banquet is ready, and it is still too late to stop it. Bai Manshuang regretted that she had only thought of this question now, and beads of sweat broke out on her forehead.

Bai Manshuang looked around, but she didn't dare to tell Bai Lotian the truth, she didn't know what to do, she had an idea, "Do you have a flint?" ”

Bai Lotian was stunned, he knew that Bai Manshuang had always loved to play, and he had a lot of ghost ideas, so he didn't know what tricks he wanted to play, and said with a smile: "What do you want to do, no!"

"I want it now, give it to me right away! Quick!" Bai Manshuang said, scratching Bai Letian's armpit.

Bai Lotian couldn't stop laughing, causing the people next to him to look at him angrily, so he had to take out the flint from his pocket and hand it to her.

Bai Manshuang snatched the flint, squeezed past the kneeling crowd, and staggered into the distance.

Bai Lotian smiled and sighed, looking at Bai Manshuang's back, "This sister is really playful." ”

The horses, dressed in multicolored saddles, were tied to the trunks of trees by the square. The owners all went to the front to participate in the sacrifice, they were wearing gorgeous clothes, kneeling in front of the ancestral temple, like a phoenix in a group of roosters, particularly eye-catching.

Bai Manshuang rushed out of the crowd, saw the horse tied to the trunk of the tree, and galloped away. She came to the horse's surroundings, looked around, and no one paid attention to her, so she slipped to the horse, reached out and gently stroked the horse's head, "shh

Bai Manshuang lay on the horse's back, kicking the horse's belly hard, and the jujube red horse rushed towards the chef's shed where the wind cow was like a bolt of lightning.

At this time, the meals in the greenhouse are basically ready, and it is time for the sacrificial ceremony to end. According to the confession of the wind, Feng Niu had already quietly avoided everyone with the powder of "Golden Crystal Artemisia" and "Soul Breaking Grass" that he had obtained, and stirred it evenly in the soup and vegetables. As long as the banquet opens, after everyone eats, the wind cow quickly contacts the wind, and then, that is, the two of them go away and start a new life.

Bai Manshuang drove the jujube red horse, passed through the sparse crowd, bypassed the barricades formed by a few rocks, and frightened the sheep and pigs outside the greenhouse, almost broke free of the rope, and made a mess, and a few cooks who were squatting on the ground were stunned by the sudden situation, almost knocked to the ground, and ran away angrily.

When he was about to rush into the shed, Bai Manshuang had already taken out the flint and ignited the silk cloth on the jujube red horse. The silk cloth was quickly ignited, the flames rose very high, and the jujube red horse was burned by the fire, and "bang" neighed, desperately moving forward.

The jujube red horse is like a flame, more like a bullet, shooting towards the greenhouse.

The people standing outside the shed were all stunned!
