181. Substitutions
This kind of involuntary remark, the feat of bowing down, several people present are not very adaptable, Rong Shiyin has never played the empress and the immortal god even if she acts in a TV series, and now she is frozen on the spot, I don't know what kind of expression I should use to face it, and I don't know what to say, I can't say "Zhongqing is flat", right?
Fortunately, the villagers didn't bother her for too long, and soon someone led the way in front, and the rear was in formation, and the mighty villagers followed closely, and no one cared about Blessing and Li Moyi at all, and the two of them quietly followed the end of the team, and followed the team to an empty meadow. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Blessing could see at a glance that it was the meadow next to the Grand Canyon, but the original green grass was now withered and yellow, hanging down and waiting to die, she leaned down and touched it, the blades of grass made a slight crisp sound, and broke off in response, and the fragments of the blades of grass were swept away by the breeze, and disappeared from her fingertips.
If it doesn't rain again, I'm afraid that the people in this village will starve to death and die of thirst, so it's no wonder they're in such a hurry.
Where can Rong Shiyin pray for rain, she can only stand up to the shelf and slowly walk up to the altar of praying for rain step by step, but what is the use of such a delay, so many people below are watching, and they can't escape at all.
In the crowd, someone whispered:
"This person, what kind of high priest of the Star Worship Clan, specially came to relieve our worries about no rain, yesterday I was preparing all kinds of things to pray for rain, but as a result, I suddenly fainted. ”
"Fainting? It's so useless, can you really pray for it?"
"It's okay, it's a big deal, according to Lizheng's original plan, send an unmarried girl to Hebo as a daughter-in-law, I have done this before, if she hadn't come suddenly, she would have done it. ”
"Oh, whose daughter did you choose?"
"Who else could it be, of course, the big families first took turns to pay money to buy their daughter's safety, and finally fell on the head of Widow Cui's family, who couldn't afford it. ”
"Oh? ”“
Otherwise, who do you think it can be, those fathers and brothers who are as fierce as tigers, who dares to move?"
Blessing frowned, and asked Li Moyi in a low voice: "Are we crossing over?"
Li Moyi shook his head: "I don't know, but if it's a crossing, why isn't anyone surprised when dressed like us?"
The two continued to look at the stage again, Rong Shiyin stood on the stage alone, looking at the dazzling array of magic weapons on the table, and didn't know their purpose at all, there was no traditional soul suppression bell or peach wood sword, only something that looked like a compass, and some shiny stones.
Rong Shiyin's eyes were really black, looking at the faces full of anticipation in the audience, she had to bite the bullet, pretend, and hold the compass in her hand, the ancient compass engraved with the heavenly stem and the twelve hours, held it in her hand, and the pointer in the center flickered around, and finally pointed to due south and due north.
And then...... She didn't know what to do, she didn't even know how to pretend to be a ghost, and how to pretend to be a ghost.
The people in the audience watched her stand on the stage for a long time, not doing anything, and it didn't look like she was closing her eyes and chanting scriptures.
"Hurry up. ”
"What for?"
Then, I don't know who was the first to shout: "Liar!"
"Yes, liar!"
The echoing voice rose higher and higher, and the lack of water, ignorance, and hope turned into a strong disappointment, which made all the villagers' hearts begin to twist, and they only wanted to arrest this female liar and sacrifice to the river god, so that the heavens could have mercy and give them nectar, so that their crops could be revived and their livestock could multiply.
The restless villagers began to rush towards the prayer altar, and suddenly a childish voice sounded: "You can't hurt her!"
Li Zheng looked at the little girl who was standing in front of the prayer altar, bared his teeth and smiled: "Chun Tao, you are not good at home to serve your mother, why did you come here? This woman deceived the whole village, she is going to be the bride of Hebo on your behalf." ”
Chun Tao opened her arms, her small body blocked in front of the prayer altar, in front of hundreds of villagers, her figure was almost negligible, and Li Zheng blocked the irritable villagers: "You guys wait." ”
Then he said to Chun Tao with a pleasant face: "If the god of Hebo wants to have a bride, he will give us nectar, if she doesn't go, then you go, okay?"
Chun Tao's lips trembled, looking at him, and a thin woman squeezed in outside the crowd, she was unsteady, staggered over, hugged Chun Tao, and knelt in front of Li Zheng: "Uncle, you also watched Chun Tao grow up, how can you bear to watch her marry Uncle He." ”
She turned her face again and pulled Chun Tao: "Don't you kneel down for Uncle Huang quickly, how can you bump into Uncle Huang in front of so many people, kowtow to Uncle Huang!"
Chun Tao slowly knelt down under the pull of her mother, but the corners of her mouth were tightly pursed, full of dissatisfaction.
In the case that an outsider came to send him to death, of course Li Zheng didn't want to move the people in the village first, not to mention that now Widow Cui gave him enough face in public, he waved his hand very happily: "Cui family lady, take Chun Tao away quickly, the child is not sensible, what if he collides with the god of Hebo, go quickly." ”
Then he looked at Rong Shiyin and said loudly: "We have words first, if we can't ask for it, you will marry the great god Hebo, since you are the high priest, then for the well-being of our people, it is also willing." ”
As soon as he shook his head, the two strong men ascended the high platform and were about to drag Rong Shiyin away.
"Stop. Blessing couldn't help but shout, everyone looked at her in unison, and after shouting, she didn't know what to say, Li Moyi quietly held her hand, and the temperature from the palm gave her infinite confidence.
The blessing said loudly: "I am the high priest, she is just my stand-in, try your conduct, now everything has been revealed, why the heavens will send you a drought, is because, there are people's hearts!
There was silence in the crowd, and Li Zheng pointed to the blessing: "You!
Blessing sneered: "You pretended to be the god of Hebo to marry a daughter-in-law, but in fact, you threatened rich people to pay for the safety of their daughters, and then forcibly took away the girls from those weak families." It's not a conscience!"
Li Zheng's heart was exposed, a few people in the village who paid money to keep them safe, they were not big families, they just felt sorry for their daughter, so they had to grit their teeth and squeeze out the money, and they had already resented this endless blackmail, but Li Zheng took the big hat of begging for rain, all the villagers, etc., and pressed it down, they couldn't say anything, except forbearance, only forbearance.
Now that someone finally said it, their attitude immediately changed from supportive to centrist, no longer shouting to let Rong Shiyin be Hebo's bride, but retreating to the side and watching silently.
Blessing looked at the dozen or so people who bowed their heads and were silent, and guessed what their identities were.
The iron must be struck while it is hot, and the wall-riding faction cannot be changed, in case Li is strong, they have to rebel again, and the blessing added: "Do you think it will be okay to pay the money?" She pointed at Rong Shiyin: "She is dead, and there will be another flood in a few days, so I have to ask you for money again, and then give Chun Tao to Hebo, what about after Chun Tao dies? Whose daughter should it be?
The blessing looked at all the young men in the village: "All the unmarried girls in your village are dead, where did your daughter-in-law come from, and where did your heirs come from?"
This sentence gets to the point, they don't care whether other people's daughters are dead or alive, but if there is no daughter-in-law, it is a big problem, how can the incense of the temple continue?
Li Zheng couldn't say a rebuttal that was squeezed by the blessing words, and it took a while to hold back a sentence: "You little lady is sharp-toothed and can speak, why don't you tell me, it's not raining in the sky, what should I do?"
Blessing sneered: "Of course, you are a scheming person who is not right-hearted to Hebo to apologize for your sins first, and then it can rain." ”
"You!" Li Zheng pointed to the blessing: "Beat this demon woman to death!"
Several people who were loyal to Lizheng rushed over with sticks and hoes in their hands, trying to hit the blessing, but the blessing was not moved at all, she smiled very calmly, and a gust of wind curled up behind her, blowing her long hair. "Click" "Click" ...... With the sound of a few wooden sticks breaking, only a small piece of the weapon in their hands remained, and at this time, the long hair of the blessing stopped gently and hung quietly on her chest.
Li Mo was like a tall spear, standing beside the blessing, guarding her safety.
Blessing gently pushed his long hair behind his ears, looked at Li Zheng, and smiled: "Now, your life and death are not in your own hands, believe it or not, he will take one of your ears, will never gouge out your eyes, will cut off your left hand, and will never cut off your right hand." ”
Where do you need to say that so many arm-thick wooden sticks were gently pinched by Li Moyi's two fingers just now, like thin wicker being pinched off, and now no one dares to joke with their lives, not to mention, the matter of collecting money has made those people in the village who have a lot of family backgrounds dissatisfied.
Now the situation has shifted to the blessed side.
Blessing looked up at Rong Shiyin, who was at a loss, and smiled: "You did a good job, now, I'll handle it." ”
She walked towards the prayer altar, Li Moyi followed closely by her side, her eyes did not squint, and the chilling murderous aura was chilling.
Standing in front of the altar, Rong Shiyin lowered her voice: "Are you okay?"
Blessing smiled at her: "Don't worry." ”
The resentful or suspicious gazes of the audience had no effect on the blessing, she picked up the compass, determined the position, and unhurriedly used stones in the four directions to position the Xuanwu Seven Stars in charge of the north.
Blessing closed her eyes slightly, and read a passage that had just emerged from her mind: "The bullfighting girl is in danger of the wall of the room, the seven stars gather in the wind and rain, Xuanwu Qi, and the black water is ......"
With her prayers, the white clouds floating leisurely in the sky suddenly seemed to be urged by something, and the high-altitude currents jumped rapidly, gathering in one place, and the color also changed from white to black, becoming more and more intense.
The wind moves, the wind blowing in the mountains and forests, mixed with the thick moisture of the rain in the distance, and the first to feel the abundant moisture is the soil on the earth, which exudes the earthy smell before the rainstorm.
In the distant clouds, there was a faint sound of thunder, one drop, two drops, three drops, and then a torrential rain, washing away the parched land.
The villagers, who had been looking forward to the rain for a long time, had a happy expression on their faces, and Widow Cui took the lead in bowing to the ground: "Living immortals!
When the villagers saw this miracle, they rushed to the ground, and those men who had been instructed by Li Zheng to kill the blessing were even more frightened and kowtowed, and they didn't dare to stop breaking their foreheads, and they also chanted: "The great god doesn't remember the villain, and we are also instructed by others, so don't blame us." ”
Blessing didn't speak, she saw the mountain ghost Wen Xiang who hoped to resurrect her lover, standing behind the villagers, blood and tears slowly flowing from her eyes.
When she forcibly awakened the power of the blessing, the blessing summoned the soul of her lover Yun Chang back according to her wishes.
However, at the same time, the souls of those soldiers in the canyon who were betrayed and died in ambush came back.
All the sad past events reappeared in front of the mountain ghosts again.
In order to buy her jewelry, Yun Chang chose to betray the general who once trusted him the most, and sold the top-secret information about when they would pass through the canyon to the enemy country, and exchanged the lives of three thousand brothers for such a necklace.
When he took the necklace he had just bought, he tried to take a shortcut from the canyon back to the forest, but he met a soul that lingered because of deep resentment, and he fled into the ice cave in a panic, not daring to go out, and the stream seeping from above soaked his clothes, and finally, he was frozen to death in the hole, and the seepage of water day after day covered him with ice, and finally, he was sealed in a huge block of ice.
It is also because of the resentment of the three thousand soldiers in the canyon, even if it is the spirit of the mountain ghost, it is impossible to detect the place where Yun Zhang's bones are buried.
After the blessing summoned Yun Zhang's soul, he saw Wen Xiang, and even saw the three thousand brothers who were killed by him, he had no face to face them, and once again, his soul was scattered, and he never entered the reincarnation, and disappeared forever between heaven and earth.
"It would be nice if I didn't know anything, at least, I know, he's here...... But now, there is nothing. Wen Xiang fell into deep regret and sadness.
Blessing looked at her and sighed softly: "Feelings, that's also something that can't be helped." ”
The mountain ghost is worthy of being a mountain and forest elf, and she has not been decadent for a long time, she quickly suppressed the pain, gently raised her hand, and caught the raindrops falling in the sky: "In the depths of this land, there are many red letter stones. ”
Red letter stone, which is the raw material for making arsenic, is called crane top red, highly toxic because of its red, liquid arsenic.
The torrential rain will seep into the soil, polluting the groundwater with red letters, and the well water here can never be drunk, and if you drink it, you will be poisoned by arsenic.
