15. The sacrificial ceremony begins
Liansheng and Shengtong returned to Forgotten Worries again, which was different from before.
Liansheng knew the weirdness of Forget Worry Town and the extra "little follower" around him.
This little follower is Xiao Jing, Xiao Jing has been following Liansheng closely, and she follows Liansheng wherever she goes.
Regarding Xiao Jing's reaction, the holy child did not say anything against it, so Xiao Jing was like a dog skin plaster "sticking" to the ripples.
……
Back in Forgotten Town, the Holy Child arranged a clean room for Liansheng to wait for the night to come.
For an evening bonfire, it's certainly not that simple, but it's also unfamiliar.
Lian Sheng looked at Xiao Jing, who was standing trembling beside him, and asked softly, "Xiao Jing, do you know what the bonfire party is for at night?" ”
Hearing Lian Sheng mention the bonfire party, Xiao Jing's body trembled slightly, and then replied in a low voice.
"Sister, every bonfire party is a party for everyone to sacrifice to the gods, and the sacrifices are not chickens, ducks, cows and sheep, but the saints elected by everyone."
"Holy Maiden?"
Regarding Liansheng's questions, Xiao Jing hid everything selflessly and told everything she knew.
According to Xiao Jing, this bonfire party is not as simple as it seems, and this sacrifice alone requires a living person to sacrifice.
And the selection of this sacrifice is also extremely strict, and it must be a girl with good looks and who has not experienced sexual intercourse to be qualified to become a saint.
At first, the selection of the holy maiden was selected from the villagers in the town, but slowly, I don't know when I began to kidnap the girl from outside the town.
However, the maidens who became saints and sacrificed to the gods were missing and never heard from after they went to the altar.
However, none of the villagers cared about the lives of these girls.
Recalling these, Xiao Jing's expression was a little lonely.
"Sister, do you know, Forget Worry Town was lively before the Holy Child came, and those uncles and aunts were kind to Xiao Jing, but now they don't look at Xiao Jing, and they won't smile at Xiao Jing."
When it comes to the Holy Child, the originator of all evil, Liansheng is extremely disdainful of what he has done, and even his tone is a little cold.
"Xiao Jing, listen to what you mean, this Holy Boy is not from the town, is he from outside?"
"Xiao Jing can't remember, it was told to me when my mother hadn't changed before, one night two years ago, the Holy Child fell at the entrance of the village covered with injuries, and then the uncles saw that a child would be so badly injured."
Speaking of this, it seemed that her memory was a little vague, and Xiao Jing tilted her head and thought for a while before continuing.
"Then the uncle couldn't bear it, and then he left the Holy Child in the village."
Hearing this, Liansheng felt that he had more questions.
"Xiao Jing, two years ago, the Holy Boy should have been only three or four years old, how could he fall here with an injury, what about his parents, have you never asked?"
Hearing this series of questions, Xiao Jing's expression became even more confused, and she couldn't speak for a long time.
Looking at Xiao Jing's confused look, Lian Sheng sighed slightly, touched Xiao Jing's white and tender little face, and comforted softly.
"It's okay Xiao Jing, forget it if you can't think of it, and everything will be revealed in the evening."
"Then Mom, Uncle and Auntie, will they also become the same as before?" At this time, Xiao Jing's eyes were full of vitality.
"It's going to be the same." Lian Sheng seemed to be a promise to Xiao Jing, serious and serious.
After receiving the answer, Xiao Jing smiled happily for the first time.
"Great, I knew my sister would definitely save us, thank you, sister."
Looking at Xiao Jing's bright smile, Liansheng's mood also became better, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised a slight arc.
However, Xiao Jing looked at Liansheng's smile and couldn't help but be stunned, and it took a long time before she spoke.
"Sister, you look so good when you smile, my brother who can marry you must be very happy."
"People are small and ghosts are big."
After replying to Xiao Jing's words, Lian Sheng didn't say anything more, closed his eyes and quietly waited for the night to come.
Seeing that Lian Sheng had no idea of continuing to speak, Xiao Jing was also very interested, and left the room with gentle steps.
……
When Lian Sheng woke up from his cultivation and opened his eyes, the sky had already darkened. The town of Forgotten Worries at night is a little eerie.
Knock knock knock......
Squeak......
The door to the room where Liansheng was located was gently pushed open.
However, the person who came was not Xiao Jing, but a holy child.
At this time, the holy child was dressed very solemnly, and his small body was covered with a pitch-black robe, and the robe was embroidered with the dark gold symbol "ㄤ".
"Let's go."
I don't know if it's too lazy to disguise anymore, the current holy child feels a little cold, like a poisonous snake lurking in the dark.
Instead of replying to the Holy Child, Liansheng got up and straightened out some wrinkles caused by not moving for a long time.
Regarding Liansheng's attitude, the holy boy did not show any patience, but just waited quietly beside him.
After tidying up, Liansheng went to the sacrificial platform with the holy child, and the bonfire party was also held under the sacrificial platform, not far from the house where Liansheng was.
When Liansheng arrived at the altar, all the villagers of Forget Worry Town were already waiting by the unlit bonfire.
and Xiao Jing, who was just standing quietly beside her mother, everyone didn't say a word, their faces were flat, and they didn't have the joy of holding a bonfire party at all.
In other words, the so-called bonfire party is just to cover up the existence of sacrificial ceremonies and the lives that were once alive.
"Are you all ready?"
The Holy Child's voice sounded from time to time, and then the old woman who had been staying by the Holy Child's side stepped forward and spoke respectfully.
"Lord Holy Child, everything is ready, now it's time for you to start the sacrifice ceremony."
"Okay, I declare that the sacrificial ceremony begins now,"
As the sound of the holy fairy tale fell, there were bursts of drums from the altar.
A group of big-bodied* men beat drums around the altar, and the whole atmosphere was very serious.
After a while, the drumming stopped, and a big man who had just beaten the drum and stood in the middle raised his head and shouted.
"Give us eternal life, O God of creation."
After saying that, he jumped into the big hole in the center of the altar.
Just now, the big hole was surrounded by big men, and Lian Sheng didn't see it.
It wasn't until the big man jumped just now that Lian Sheng discovered that there was a bottomless hole in the center of the altar.
However, when the big man jumped down, there seemed to be some black smoke lingering at the mouth of the big hole.
What's even more weird is that there seems to be a faint sound of chewing coming from the big hole.
Seeing this situation, the holy boy frowned slightly, and his voice was a little impatient: "It's not enough. ”
