Chapter III. The sword asks Beiyan 76.The moral question of the altar master
The altar master looked at Ma Lao's protector, whose face was like gold paper and was shivering uncontrollably, and with a wave of his hand, a 'golden light' popped out, shooting directly into his wind pool. When that golden light disappeared into his body, everyone saw that the horse protector whose body was already on the verge of collapse had only grown a few breaths of air, and then magically regained his calm.
"Multi-...... Thank you, Lord of the Altar..."
"Ma Protector, the deity knows what is in your heart and is alarmed, and the deity can understand your difficulties; But you shouldn't use 'straw men' instead of sacrifices, trying to deceive the deity and the gods!" Do you admit that this is one of your great sins? ”
"Little old man...... Recognize! ”
"However, the deity is thinking of your salvation, so you are not to blame for the past. The deity knows in his heart that to this day, you have many doubts about the deity's mystical Taoism, and even about the entire 'Huashen Sect'. Today, the deity will let you see with your own eyes that the great calamities that plague you ordinary people are just a speck of dust in the hands of the deity......"
As soon as the words fell, the magic sword in the altar master's hand instantly 'cut through the void', and the tip of the sword pointed directly to the north of the altar! Everyone's eyes followed the sword, and they saw a straw man tied to the middle of the 'Fire God Mountain', and it was instantly 'alive'! And under the witness of more than 100 pairs of eyes, this straw man who had been reinfused with 'living soul' actually let out a hoarse and sharp roar!
"Ho...... Ha......!! ”
Even if no one in the audience could understand what 'it' was trying to say, from this terrible scream alone, they could already feel that this 'living straw man' was now suffering great pain.
Although this magic method of 'ordering grass to become an adult' stunned all the tiger-necked villagers, for the altar owner himself, it was like a small road that was not enough to worry about, but instead asked the stunned old man Ma about his son:
"Ma Protector, to this day, how much do you 'detain' the soul of Ma Shi in the afterlife?"
"If you return to the altar master, plus the five souls who escaped, there are already seventy-two."
After hearing this, the altar master did not continue to ask; Instead, he pulled out a yellow rune paper ball from his arms, and gently handed it to the old man Ma who was kneeling on the ground:
"Then according to yesterday's covenant, you can take the fire spirit mantra of the deity, and go to the 'five grasses to tie the soul' and add it to the 'merit' of the horse stone."
Ma Laohan took the yellow rune paper ball with both hands, and glanced at the altar master with some suspicion; I saw that the other party's eyes had been slightly closed, and he also sat on the futon and began to settle down, and he had no intention of continuing to talk to himself......
Although this is not the first time that Ma Laohan has killed people with his own hands, it is really the first time that he has presided over the ritual of sacrificing the soul of the 'fire sacrifice'; he carefully held this yellow paper ball, walked to the 'Huoshen Mountain' with a little hesitation, and threw out the charm in his hand towards the 'living straw man' as if tentatively......
Seeing the wind spontaneously combusting, this paper charm floated in the dark night, as if it was as dazzling as a sun, riding the cold north wind in the cold winter season, and drifting straight to the 'Huoshen Mountain'!
No one would have thought that it was just a small ball of burning yellow rune paper, and after coming into contact with the 'Huoshen Mountain', it would instantly ignite a sky-high fire! In addition to the grease contained in the straw and firewood, there was a 'crackling, crackling' sound, and from the 'Vulcan Mountain', there was a painful wail like a 'night cry of evil ghosts'! The shrill shouts and billowing black smoke were entangled and scattered in the air......
Hearing this terrible cry, the altar owner got up and took a jar of vegetarian wine, then rose into the air, and slowly landed on the altar. This is not the first time for the villagers to participate in this kind of worship activity, and of course they know that this is one of the important processes: after each believer of the Huashen Sect has received a cup of vegetarian wine poured by the altar master himself, he will go to Huoshenshan and pour out half a bowl of toasting wine, and then drink the remaining half bowl of 'Blessing Wine' himself. In this way, it will be regarded as a rite, and it will naturally be blessed by the aura of the 'Huayu Heavenly God' in the future.
If the crockpot does not break from the wellhead, the general will inevitably die in front of the battle!
As a result, the three indiscriminate moves of 'Semin sweat medicine in the fingernails' have finally been retributed to all the villagers of Tiger Neck Village, and of course, this also includes the initiator of this immoral move, Ma Laohan.
Fang Cai, the 'Taoist to the most mysterious', raised his hand to call for wind and rain, waved his hand and scattered beans into a soldier, is simply a 'fake' concocted by 'little fat girl Li Le'an', and the 'raw material' of this fake is Shen Gui, who is not far from the master, Shen Taichu! As for the altar master himself, he should be eight points ripe by now. It's just that for the time being, it's not clear whether the Taoist priest with the body of a half-immortal was burned to death by the flames? Or was the air drained by the raging tongue of fire, and suffocated to death.
If you want to talk about the preparatory work for this big drama in advance, you have to start talking about it after last night.
In fact, that long-tongued woman Zhao Di really didn't chew her tongue indiscriminately! It is true that she has seen with her own eyes more than once that the eight-point familiar altar master has an affair with the second widow of the Zhang family. It's just that the man and woman she saw last night were Qi Yan and Li Le'an.
For Qi Yan, Chu Zhi's closed disciple, on the entire Huayu Continent, the lock that can block him has not yet been invented! Even if the two mandarin ducks in the house have already latched the door in advance; But once you meet Qi Yan, it will really be regarded as a brine and tofu, and one thing will drop one thing! Therefore, Zhao Di, who is in the shade in the middle of the night, will mistakenly think that the altar owner is taking someone home to cheat!
After all, in addition to their own locks, who can 'push with their hands' and open the door and enter the house?
Although what Zhao Di saw was only a 'moral issue', for the 'eight eyes' flashing in the house, whether it was the second widow Zhang or the altar owner himself, including the uninvited Qi Yan and Li Le'an, because they all had ghosts in their hearts, for a while, no one could ease their senses!
Facing such a chaotic and embarrassing situation, it is really exciting for everyone!
It was still Qi Yan, an old Jianghu who 'often visited the door', who was experienced, and casually pulled the quilt covering Ma Shishi's body, and this embarrassing scene was successfully resolved! But even if Qi Yan was between the lightning and flint, he tied up the charlatan; But how to deal with this unexpected widow Zhang made the two of them a little difficult......
There will always be some benefits to having a good wife in the family! Since you can't make a decision, you can just push it directly on Shen Gui's head!
And Shen Gui and this widow who lost her chastity have no grievances against each other at all, and they don't want to hurt her life! And although people have fornicated with evil Taoists, this is just a moral issue, and it has not violated Shen Gui's moral bottom line, except for his dead husband who can 'teach his wife in dreams', no one has a position to accuse her of anything. So at most, she has some small problems with unladylike people and unclear people, and she is not guilty of death at all!
Maybe other villagers can't say it well, but as far as this second widow Zhang is concerned, 10,000% of them will not believe in the 'Huashen Sect'! What people covet is just the 'beauty' of this altar owner. Therefore, Shen Gui knocked this Fengyue veteran unconscious and hid it in a pile of straw in the barn.
But until the god sacrifice ceremony began, the entire Tiger Neck Village had been turned upside down by Ma Laohan's people, and the second widow Zhang buried in the straw pile was still not found! I don't know if this is another sense of 'dark under the lamp'.
As for the horse stone that has been lying on the sickbed for a long time...... After Li Le'an's initial diagnosis, the results obtained were very unoptimistic!
This 'little son of the village chief's family' has a strong body like a little calf, according to common sense, since there are no obvious scars on the body surface, he should not fall into a deep coma at all;
Judging from Li Le'an's diagnosis, the strange disease that Ma Shishi suffered from is really very ironic.
The reason why he was in a coma for dozens of days was that there was an inseparable indirect relationship with his father, Ma Laohan! Maybe even Ma Laohan himself couldn't have imagined that the 'Sleepy Demon San' that the altar master rewarded and asked himself to put in the tea to harm people was actually a 'new powerful sweat medicine' independently developed by the 'Huashen Sect';
As early as when this altar master came to Tiger Neck Village for the first time, he was very speculative with the 'young village chief' Ma Shishi, and praised him for growing a 'fairy flesh and bones', and the inner organs of the Lingtai also planted their own wisdom roots, and they also had a wisp of Taoism with themselves! And Ma Shi, who grew up in the countryside since childhood, how can he get around this old Jianghu? said that the two said that they formed a master-apprentice relationship with each other; Before the master left, he was also rewarded with a bowl of 'soul wine' that blessed a hundred years of cultivation......
One day in the sky, thousands of years on earth!
After falling into a coma, this young master Ma was placed by the desperate old man Ma to 'continue his life' by the side of the Taoist master, and the bowl of high-concentration 'sleepy demon wine' every day was only interrupted once in more than 50 days! Ma Shi was a stick boy in his early twenties; But those who are weaker are afraid that they have already crossed the Nahe Bridge!
Although Li Le'an searched out some 'new sweat medicine' from the 'altar master', it was a pity that the remaining time was too short, and she had not been able to crack the formula for the time being, and naturally she did not think of a way to rescue Ma Shi, however, even if she successfully cracked the composition of Meng sweat medicine in the future, Li Le'an was not very sure about waking Ma Shishi at all.
For such a long time, Ma Shishi was forced to take drugs as food; Even if you really save a life, nine times out of ten, you will become a fool!
So when Shen Gui listened to Li Le'an's words, he also gave up the idea of transferring the 'Ma Shao Village Chief'. Anyway, he had been lying there for almost two months, and even if the door was open, it was expected that he would not be able to escape, and no one would come to harm him.
After all, in the entire Tiger Neck Village, apart from himself and Ma Laohan, who would care about the life or death of this 'vegetative person'?
