Chapter 443: Yellow River Niangniang
"It's been a long time since I've seen such a beautiful star. ”
Looking at the starry sky, Liu Yu couldn't help but sigh.
At this time, Old Man Huang was holding his old dog and fiddling with a whip, and when he saw the two people coming out, he greeted them with a smile, and then said goodbye to the two of them and went out together.
The pale moonlight hit the earth, as if it had covered the ground with a white veil.
It was quiet all around, except for the sound of the river and the cries of toads along the Yellow River.
"Old man, let me tell you, my brother is not an ordinary person, and he will definitely be able to solve that group of Yellow River Niangniang. ”
Liu An said to Old Man Huang with an excited face.
"I have long seen that with him tonight, maybe it will be successful, and only if it is completely solved, we don't have to worry so much every day. ”
Old Man Huang nodded and said with some sighs.
"Yellow River Niangniang?"
Liu Yu was confused by several people, and he didn't know what the so-called Yellow River Niangniang was.
Old Man Huang lit a bag of cigarettes, took a deep breath, and then told the ins and outs of the Yellow River Niangniang.
The people along the Yellow River have great respect for the Yellow River, they believe that the Yellow River has a spirit, there is not only a river dragon king in the Yellow River, but also a legendary river god, and some places will call the river god the Yellow River King, and the Yellow River Niangniang is the sacrifice that human beings offer to them, in order to be able to bless the Yellow River on both sides of the wind and rain, no water and no disaster.
Of course, this sacrifice is different from the ordinary sacrifice to the gods.
The sacrifices used in ordinary sacrifices to the gods are basically chickens, ducks, and fish, and if they are a little more high-end, they are five kinds of livestock and some high-grade incense.
The sacrifice given to the king of the Yellow River was a living person, and it was also a yellow flower girl who had not been appointed or left the cabinet.
At that time, the people on both sides of the Yellow River believed that the reason why the Yellow River would flood was because the king of the Yellow River was bored in the Yellow River Divine Mansion every day, so he would lose his temper from time to time to entertain the people on both sides of the Yellow River.
So every year they will elect a Yellow River Niangniang, this Yellow River Niangniang must not only have a good figure, but also be beautiful, and the most important thing is to be able to sing and dance.
At that time, almost every big village and town would have a special altar.
After bathing, the Yellow River Niangniang will change into a red wedding dress, wrapped in sesame oil, and carried to the altar by the King of Five Flowers.
After some prayer, the Yellow River Niangniang will be thrown into the Yellow River to accompany the Yellow River King.
Of course, the villages with better conditions will build a good sarcophagus, and the worse ones can only be swept with grass and thrown down.
"Damn, isn't this indirect killing?"
Listening to Old Man Huang's words, Liu Yu couldn't help but scold.
Old man Huang took a deep breath of cigarette, knocked the cigarette pouch pot lightly on the lamp frame of the horse lamp in his hand, and his expression was slightly helpless, "Hey, who said it wasn't, the big girl in the double decade, originally had a very good life, but was thrown alive into the Yellow River, this kind of thing is difficult for anyone to swallow this grievance, so the Yellow River will become more and more unpeaceful, usually there are only one or two Yellow River Niangniang asking for their lives, this year is even more evil, a few days ago I saw more than a dozen." ”
At this time, Liu Yu realized that it turned out that Old Man Huang and Liu Anxia called themselves over not to drive the river, but to drive away ghosts.
But that's okay, it's just what he wants, he hasn't seen the legendary Yellow River Niangniang yet, and today he happens to have a long experience.
"It's not normal to make such a thing, I suspect that someone is behind this matter!"
At this time, Liu Anxia suddenly interjected.
"You're saying that the ghost maker is a sentient being?"
Liu Yu suddenly thought of a possibility.
"It's very likely, apart from them, who would cause such an incident, is it because they are full?"
Liu Anxia nodded.
As they spoke, a few people came to the edge of the Yellow River, and they heard the sound of the Yellow River running water from a long distance.
Old Man Huang took a few people to find a ferry, jumped into the boat next to the ferry like an ape, and held up the pole on the side very familiarly.
At this time, the dog called Goudan'er also jumped up, turned to Liu Yu and Liu An, stretched out his tongue and wagged his tail, looking very excited.
Then Liu Anxia and Liu Yu also jumped up.
"Huang He Niangniang is not here, but near an altar not far away, the altar is near the village, and in the past few days, there have been villagers who have been dragged by Huang He Niangniang to accompany the funeral. ”
Old Man Huang explained to Liu Yu while holding the bamboo pole.
I have to say that Old Man Huang's skills in holding the boat are simply first-class, and Liu Yu didn't feel any shaking when he sat on the boat, just like sitting on the flat ground.
The boat moved smoothly in the Yellow River, and from time to time a few carp jumped on the water, as if greeting a few people, everything seemed so quiet, as if it was a very meaningful ink landscape painting.
After about half an hour, the old man Huang supported the boat and took two people to a place, this section of the Yellow River looks very wide, and there is a huge square stone platform on the bank, it is obvious that this is the altar in the mouth of the old man Huang, behind the altar is a row of neat small houses, the whole village is hazy in the moonlight.
"This is it!"
Old Man Huang sank the rod into the water, stabilized the hull, then squatted down, and then lit the cigarette bag and pot by the light of the horse lantern, and comfortably swallowed the clouds and spit out the fog.
And Liu Yu cautiously glanced around, but found nothing abnormal.
"It may take a while for it to show up, so let's smoke a bag of cigarettes and rest for a while!"
Old Man Huang glanced at the bright moon in the sky, and then handed over the cigarette bag and pot in his hand.
Liu Yu hurriedly waved his hand, he couldn't get used to smoking this thing, when he was young, out of curiosity, he secretly took Liu Erye's cigarette pouch and pot and smoked the experience of being choked and crying, and now he still knows it.
Since Old Man Huang said that it was still early, Liu Yu was not idle, and took out two cigarettes from his pocket, one was handed to Liu Anxiang, and the other was just in his mouth.
The three men whispered to the wide river and the bright moon in the sky, swallowing clouds and spitting mist.
Time flies quickly, and the bright moon in the sky has risen to the middle of the sky.
At this time, a thin layer of fog has risen along the Yellow River, which looks very abnormal, because the ordinary fog is white, and the fog is actually light red, which reveals an indescribable weirdness.
I don't know when this fog appeared, and by the time Liu Yu found out, this red fog had already wrapped several people in the middle.
Liu Anxia and Old Man Huang seemed calm, obviously it was not the first time that the two of them had seen this fog.
But the moment Liu Yu saw the mist, he couldn't help frowning. This mist looks a little strange, although it seems to be composed of yin qi, but it is mixed with some other things, but what that thing is, Liu Yu doesn't know.
Sometimes, one thing becomes strange, and another thing becomes strange, the moment the fog rises, Liu Yu feels that the water of the entire Yellow River seems to become boiling, making a sound like a rising tide, and the boat that was stable just now like land has a crumbling feeling at this time.
"The moon is red, the Yellow River is ringing, the king of the Yellow River is going to eat people!"
At this time, suddenly an extremely ethereal singing voice came from not far away, Liu Yu subconsciously glanced at the bright moon in the sky, and he didn't know what it was, at this time, the bright moon in the sky had been dyed pale red.
Immediately after that, the sound of a stone falling into the water sounded, so that Liu Yu couldn't help but glance at the water around the boat, through the somewhat reddened moonlight, Liu Yu was surprised to find that at this time, there were many girls who were taking a bath around the boat, Qingsi was floating in the water, and the moonlight looked so dazzling on their backs like white jade.
