Chapter 818: Sacrificial Lake Festival
"You want to know the real reason?" Sui Ge smiled. "The real reason is that my friend has been in a mood lately and wants to find a virtuous girlfriend to solve his lifelong problems. So, he wanted to try his luck at this place. β
"Wouldn't it? Try your luck here? Liu Sina seemed to refuse to believe it, "The two of them seem to be in good condition, how can they not find a girlfriend." What's more, even if you want to find a girlfriend, it is better to go directly to a blind date show or participate in a large-scale matchmaking, and it is easy to solve the problem. β
"TV blind dates, matchmaking? Are these things reliable? Deng He seems to be interested in expressing himself, "I think, what TV blind date, what matchmaking is unreliable, it is nothing more than the one-sided pursuit of handsome and rich, white rich and beautiful, this is not looking for feelings, looking for fate, it is clearly looking for money!" β
"Huh! ~β
Liu Sina couldn't help but purse her lips and smile, but unfortunately Su Haiyan didn't react.
Sui Ge didn't expect Deng He's heart to be surging at this time, but the purpose of their coming here today was not to pick up girls, but to find out what those demons were gathering in Pearl Lake for. So, Sui Ge then asked: "Two beauties, I don't know if you know anything about this Lake Festival?" β
"Anyway, they're all here to play, and it doesn't matter if you don't understand it." Liu Sina said disapprehantly.
"The Lake Festival, of course, is the Lake Festival, and the Lake is as simple as that." At this time, Su Haiyan finally spoke, "It is rumored that Pearl Lake was a sacred place in ancient times, and there were gods in the lake, so the Lake Festival is to sacrifice the gods in it." β
"It's hilarious that there are gods in the lake, isn't it?" Sui Ge laughed, "I wish there were lake monsters in the lake." β
Hearing Sui Ge's words, a trace of dissatisfaction flashed in Su Haiyan's eyes, and then she said coldly: "Even if you don't believe that there are gods, you can't blaspheme them, right?" β
"Since I don't believe in the existence of gods, let alone blasphemy?" Sui Ge competed against each other.
"You blasphemy, beware of being blamed by the gods!" Su Haiyan snorted, "I really didn't expect that there are frogs at the bottom of the well everywhere now!" β
"Heyβyou two, don't take it too seriously." Liu Sina also felt the smell of gunpowder between Sui Ge and Su Haiyan, so she said to mediate for the two, "Come out to play, the mood is the most important, why bother to be unhappy about any gods." Besides, it doesn't matter if there are gods or not, anyway, tonight's Lake Festival will begin, and we will soon see what is going on when it comes to low. β
"Yes, yes!" Deng He also hurriedly said, and glanced at Sui Ge.
Sui Ge was really speechless, and secretly said that Deng He is really spring-hearted, but you don't want to be spring-hearted with a monster, in case you stage a Resident Evil in bed, wouldn't it be a big loss of appetite. It's a pity that Sui Ge can't remind Deng He now, even if he uses mental power, after all, this monster is a demon, and his perception of mental power is particularly keen.
"Good men don't fight women." Sui Ge said lightly, "Anyway, I'm here for fun." As for whether there are gods in this Pearl Lake, it doesn't matter. β
"Mr. Zhou, you're right to think so." Liu Sina said with a smile, "It's hard to come out to play, why waste your good mood." Speaking of which, although this mountain road is not easy to walk, the air here is really good, the scenery is good, and it is indeed very pristine. β
"yes. This place is indeed quite original, and it is very good for eco-tourism. It seems that I should investigate more here, and maybe I can find any other investment projects. Sui Ge said with a smile.
"Mr. Zhou is worthy of being a businessman, and he thinks about making money everywhere he goes." Liu Sina said with a smile.
"Don't you want to make more money?" Sui Ge asked.
"Who wouldn't." Liu Sina smiled and said, "I still want to make more money, and I will travel around the world in the future." β
"Traveling around the world, you don't have to make more money, you can also marry a rich husband."
Sui Ge's words were quite in line with Liu Sina's thoughts, and the woman smiled and said: "Oh, I have such an idea, but it's a pity that it's not easy to find a rich husband these days, so I finally ran into one, guess what-it turned out to be someone else's husband!" β
After saying this, Liu Sina also threw a wink at Sui Ge.
It seems that Liu Sina really regards Sui Ge and Deng He as successful people, but she obviously thinks that Sui Ge is more in line with her "appetite", so she wants to test Sui Ge to see if she can get a little fate, but she doesn't know that the "Zhou Tong" in front of her is just Sui Ge in disguise, and Sui Ge can't have any thoughts about her.
If you talk about ideas, Sui Ge may still have some thoughts about Su Haiyan, but Sui Ge's thoughts about her are just that Sui Ge wants to understand her true face under her quiet appearance.
Stopping and stopping along the way, it took more than three hours for Sui Ge and others to see Pearl Lake.
This Pearl Lake, is formed in the mountains of a large lake, its existence zΓ i time has been unexaminable, but very, very long, this Pearl Lake does not look very big, the water surface is only hundreds of acres wide, but the depth of the water is very deep, it is said that no one has ever dived to the bottom of the water, although there are also divers who dare to venture into the underwater has dived, but it is said that the bottom of the water is rocky, the terrain is very complicated, and do not dare to go deep.
However, because of the preservation of this lake festival, the surroundings of Pearl Lake today are naturally very lively.
In the woods and grass on the shore of Pearl Lake, you can see some simple sheds everywhere, which are prepared by local residents, and you can buy local snacks and local specialties here, although these things are very simple, but for people who are already hungry, it is still a good choice to fill their stomachs.
Seeing that Pearl Lake was finally close in front of her, Liu Sina couldn't help but cheer: "Ah! It's finally here! I'm really tired, but fortunately I practice yoga and fitness on weekdays, otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to walk here today! β
"What's the matter, you're hungry, aren't you?" Sui Ge smiled, this Liu Sina didn't eat less food he brought along the way.
Of course, the food that Sui Ge seemed to take out of his backpack was actually taken out of the Hongmeng Stone.
The space in the Hongmeng Stone is almost endless, so Sui Ge will also put some convenient goods, snacks and the like in it, mainly for the daughters of Tang Yuxi, but this time it was cheap for Liu Sina for no reason.
As for Su Haiyan, this woman ate very little, originally Sui Ge was counting on getting some useful information from her mouth, but this woman didn't like to talk, and her mouth was very tight, Sui Ge couldn't get any substantive information from her mouth at all.
But now that this Pearl Lake is close at hand, a qiΔ speculation has also come to light. It's just that Sui Ge hasn't seen Zhang Ming and Ximen Zhong at present, and he doesn't know what their situation is.
However, there are really a lot of monsters here in Pearl Lake, Sui Ge estimated that there are about three or four thousand people who come to Pearl Lake to participate in the Lake Festival, and at least half of them are monsters.
In addition, from the conversations of these people, Sui Ge kept hearing the name of the "Heart Cultivator".
It is clear that many of these people are members of the Mind Society.
At this time, Liu Sina asked Sui Ge, Deng He and Su Haiyan to eat cold noodles at the stall on the side, shouting that she wanted to treat her.
Sui Ge couldn't find Zhang Ming and Ximen Zhong now, and he had no clue for a while, so he could only wait and see what happened. In Sui Ge's opinion, when the Lake Festival begins, everything will come to fruition.
"Ten yuan a bowl of cold noodles, how many bowls do you want?"
As soon as the four of them sat down, a sturdy village woman came to greet them, but the price of this jelly was not cheap.
"Ten bowls first, and then bring eight of your cooked corn cobs." Deng He opened his mouth and said, he was also hungry today, after all, he had come all the way in the past few hours, and after getting used to the flying of the sword, walking had become a "body life" in a certain way.
"How much can you eat?" Liu Sina asked Deng He.
"Isn't that panicked by hunger?" Deng He said a word, and then looked at the cold powder that had just been served on the wooden table, not only surprised, "Such a big bowl? β
"Of course. We mountain people do business and pay attention to honesty. The peasant woman said solemnly, "Our bowl of cold noodles is enough to be five bowls in the city." I remember going to the city to eat a bowl of noodles, five yuan a bowl, not enough for me to cushion the bottom......"
"Okay now, can we finish ten bowls?" Liu Sina glared at Deng He.
"Don't worry, Brother Gu can eat it alone." Sui Ge smiled slightly and said, if Deng He really eats with his belly open, it is indeed not a problem to eat ten bowls alone, after all, he is a cultivator, and his digestion is much stronger than that of ordinary people.
While eating the cold noodles, Sui Ge casually asked Liu Sina: "Miss Liu, I heard a lot of people talking about the Heart Cultivation Society, do you know what kind of organization the Heart Cultivation Society is?" β
"Oh, the Mind Cult? It is a way of practicing that advocates nature and Zen, mainly focusing on the practice of the state of mind, and it is said that the effect is quite good, and I also went to practice a few classes, which are somewhat similar to yoga practice. Oh yes, Haiyan often goes to the Heart Cult to practice, she and I know better, if you are interested, ask Haiyan. β
"Miss Su, can you tell us about this Heart Cultivator?" Sui Ge said to Su Haiyan.
"You don't believe in the existence of the gods, what else is there to say." Su Haiyan said indifferently, "It's just that by the time you see the gods appear, it may be too late." β
"What do you mean?" Sui Ge asked blankly.
"It's not interesting." Su Haiyan said, "Talking to you about the existence of gods and spirits is like a summer insect talking about ice, which has no practical meaning." As for the Heart Order, our members all have a devout faith, something you can never understand. β
"Oh, that's a shame." Sui Ge said lightly, "I originally thought that this Heart Cultivation Society could strengthen the body, and I originally planned to send a member to practice, but since you said so, it seems that it is better to forget it." But when did this lake festival start? β
"After sunset. Come on......"
Su Haiyan's gaze fell on the deep water of Pearl Lake, and her expression became unusually reverent.
"Here comes the corn on the cob!"
As he spoke, Deng He had already eaten three bowls of cold noodles, and then began to grab a steaming corn cob that had just been delivered in his hand, this guy just took two bites, and then said, "Oh, I'm going to find a place to 'release water'." Hostess, where is the bathroom? β
"What is a bathroom?"
"Toilet." Deng He was speechless.
"Oh, there." The proprietress pointed to a dense patch of grass not far away.
Sui Ge saw that Deng He had escaped by urine, so he got up and said with a smile: "I'll also go and release the water, so that you don't get lost in the 'bathroom', Brother Gu." β
