Chapter 30: A Sudden Crisis
With the concerted efforts of everyone, the last edge of the ancestral altar has gradually been built, at this moment the ancestral altar left a small number of people to guard, at noon, everyone consciously went home to bathe and fast, some people in order to show their sincerity to the ancestors, do not forget their roots, and even did not eat lunch.

Shi Shouyin also said goodbye to Xiao Yi and went back, and Xiao Yi simply meditated in the open space on the side to practice his internal strength, and after practicing for three hours, it was getting late, and as time went by, there were more people under the ancestral altar again. Xiao Yi stopped cultivating.
"Ding! Congratulations on the advanced Whale Swallow Tips. Current proficiency is 320/900, which is a slight increase. ”
Just when Xiao Yi checked his attributes, there were many people under the ancestral altar, everyone was talking, it was very lively, and some young children flexibly shuttled among the adults, playing and laughing. At this time, the members of the hunting party began to gradually come over, and for the first time, Shi Feng solemnly walked up to the altar with the weapons of the town clan in full armor.
At this moment, the adults gradually grabbed the child so that he could not move; At this moment, the members of the hunting team also looked at the Ten Thousand Stone Bow, the weapon of the Zhen Clan, with a solemn appearance.
Then some respected old people in Heishui Village were also neatly dressed and walked over slowly and solemnly.
As Shi Feng put the Ten Thousand Stone Bow, the weapon of the town clan, on the weapon rack in the center of the altar, the village chief and the others also walked up to the altar, and at this time, the altar was filled with wine and meat one after another, and the sacrifices had been prepared for a long time.
I saw the village chief Shi Qianzhong and others looking at the sky without saying a word, and with the last afterglow of the sunset ending, Shi Qianzhong said loudly: "Sunset, light the fire!" ”
As these words fell, the area around the altar was suddenly illuminated by torches.
At this time, everyone in the audience fell silent and looked up at the altar. Seeing this, Shi Duzhong shouted: "Ancestor worship begins!" ”
Seeing Shi Shouren, Shi Feng, Shi Xin and other nine members of the hunting team came to the altar with bows and arrows, the arrows were still specially handled, and the fire was blazing, Xiao Yi looked curious, but saw that everyone in the audience did not feel the slightest surprise, Xiao Yi raised his eyes, and the nine people stood in turn corresponding to the pigs, horses, cows, sheep, deer, wolves, lions, tigers, and leopards on the table.
But seeing the nine people walking to the big ding in the center of the altar without saying a word, each bent their bows and arrows, and only listened to "Xiu Xiu Xiu!" I saw that the nine sharp swords with fire and a sharp roar were inserted into the corresponding sacrifices.
At this time, Xiao Yi heard the village chief shouting again: "Kneel down!" ”
The nine people immediately put down their weapons, each of them bowed respectfully to their prey, and at this moment the village chief on the altar and everyone knelt down sincerely, and everyone in the audience also flocked to it, and then knelt down and kowtowed again and again. Seeing this, Xiao Yi also knelt down sincerely.
Until the village chief stood up and turned around and said, "The salute is over!" ”
Hearing this, everyone stood up and looked at the stage respectfully and without saying a word, but saw that the nine members of the hunting party also stepped down one after another.
At this time, the village chief Shi was waiting to pay tribute to the sacrifice, and suddenly ......
At the entrance of the village, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves. Everyone was shocked, changed color one after another, and all looked far away, but when they saw that a group of about 100 iron horsemen suddenly appeared at the entrance of the village, they quickly approached the entrance of the village.
As the other party gradually approached, a big flag floated over, but the flag was three feet long, and a huge red Zhao character was embroidered on it, which was unusually eye-catching under the firelight on both sides of the village.
The first pair of horses are riding in parallel, but seeing the two healthy horses with bright saddles, pure white, without a handful of variegated colors, iron hooves splashing stones, silver hyenas riding the wind, at a glance it is a good BMW horse.
And the leader was tall and sturdy, about forty years old, with a gloomy face with a high nose and deep eyes, and an eagle looking at the wolf, which made people look cold. The man's shaggy beard and white skin on his cheeks were very different from those of the Han Chinese, and he was actually of a white race, and he was also a nobleman among the Qian.
In comparison, the person next to him was much younger, about seventeen or eighteen years old, and just as the cavalry was about to approach the altar at the entrance of the village, the middle-aged man jumped down from Ma Shantian and respectfully helped the young man get off the horse. It undoubtedly caught the attention of the young man.
It can be seen from the behavior of the middle-aged man that the identity of the young man is extraordinary, and the soldiers behind him are even more uniform, except for the two horses in the lead, they are all of the same breed, and only a national force like Zhao Guo can make up this kind of healthy horse to equip the soldiers.
Each of these soldiers carried a scimitar in his hand, and his expression was fierce, waiting for the person in front of him to speak.
"It's the soldiers stationed in Ink City!"
"It's someone from Zhao Guo who is here!"
"These people must be uneasy and kind to come here now!"
Seeing this, everyone in Heishui Village turned their heads to each other and whispered. At this moment, everyone was worried and panicked, and only the young men who were not afraid of tigers did not know what they were afraid of, and they looked at the people curiously.
The members of the hunting team were also all angry: "The soldiers stationed in Ink City came here at this time, I'm afraid it's not as simple as coming to see us to worship our ancestors, they haven't come to our Heishui Village to plunder for so many years, is it possible that they plan to come over and loot today?" ”
At this moment, on the altar, Shi Duzhong saw that the middle-aged man's face suddenly changed slightly, and his heart couldn't help but sink secretly, only this one, he is not an opponent, tonight the other party is only afraid that the person who is not good will not come, and he is afraid that he will come at this time, but he is afraid that he has a plan.
didn't wait for the other party to speak, only listened to Shi Duzhong's loud voice: "It turned out to be Lord Gu Suyi, the general of the garrison of Ink City, I don't know if Lord Gu led people to my poor and remote place overnight, what are you doing?" If Lord Gu wants to add food to all the military masters, there is a little surplus food in the village, today is the day for my Heishui Village to worship the ancestors, why don't you prepare a hearty dinner for you later, how about it? It will definitely make all the military masters go home happy. ”
The middle-aged man, that is, the partial general Gu Suyi in the mouth of the village chief, glanced at Shi Qianzhong, and sneered disdainfully: "Don't talk nonsense, if you really want us to have a good time, then you have to do it properly according to the conditions of our major general, so for the sake of Shi Min's identity, we don't care about you, if you don't obey, then you will go underground tonight to spend the night with your ancestors!" ”
At this time, I only heard the young general say: "General Lone, how do you talk to the old man, we are official orthodox soldiers, when you say this, what is the difference between us and the bandits, we are here to borrow a 10,000-stone bow from the old man, you still don't apologize to the old man, borrow something to have a borrowed look, let the old man extinguish the fire, so that people are willing to lend us the Wanshi bow, right?" ”
"Old man, I'm sorry, General Ben was offended just now, but did you hear what our major general said? This is also the sincerity of our major general, if it were me, hum! ”
Xiao Yi didn't expect the young general to say a word, and the middle-aged general Gu Suyi honestly bowed his head and obeyed. It seems that tonight's crisis should only be on the young general.
