"There is a sacrificial ceremony going to be held in the town today, and Master is also coming, get up and accompany me to see Master!" Di Qing said excitedly. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Li Canghai then remembered that today was the day of sacrifice in Fufeng Town, and he hurriedly got up from the bed.

After a little freshening up, Li Canghai and Di Qing and others went downstairs and hurriedly used some snacks, and after leaving Lu Ji to guard the inn, they walked with Di Qing and Li Yu and left the inn.

The sacrificial ceremony is an extremely important event for Fufeng Town.

On this day, the townspeople are dressed up to attend.

The place of worship is located in the square in front of the ancestral hall.

Although there are still snowflakes in the sky, it is still difficult to hide the enthusiasm of the people.

In the midst of the bustling street market, people do not feel a trace of sadness, as if everyone has forgotten that someone fell off a cliff and died yesterday.

However, Li Canghai can also understand.

Death happens every day, and although everyone is sad, this day will still be lived.

What's more, it is such a major event as sacrificing ancestors, and it will not be canceled because someone dies unexpectedly.

The streets are bustling with people.

According to the ritual process, the ritual begins at the end of the day and ends at noon.

At first, a group of men wearing ghost masks walked into the town from outside the town to the sound of drums, and then walked all the streets of the town to ward off evil spirits.

After that, everyone gathers in the ancestral hall square to dance a dance praying for a good harvest, and then the town's respected people recite the sacrifice.

The whole process is not much different from other sacrifices, but what makes Li Canghai puzzled is how the famous Lu Dongbin could come to such an unknown town?

Speaking of which, Li Canghai didn't have much interest in these red tape sacrifices, all he cared about was being able to meet the rumored Lu Xianren.

The festival proceeds in a step-by-step manner, and the procession of ghosts and gods enters the town from outside the town and dances along the streets to exorcise ghosts.

Li Canghai and Jiuyuan County Commander Zhou Chang, town mayor Liu Yang and others waited in front of the ancestral hall.

An hour later, the exorcist team arrived at the ancestral hall.

Liu Yang is a person from the town who is Gao Delong, and he will recite the sacrificial text.

Dozens of sturdy men, wearing masks on their faces, danced a majestic prayer dance in front of the ancestral hall.

The quaint and desolate dance, accompanied by the rhythmic drums, makes people's blood boil to watch.

Even Li Canghai didn't expect that in such a small town, he could see such a wonderful dance.

Just as the prayer dance was over, an old poem suddenly came from afar: "Even the Qingdi came out of Penglai, and the sword halberd was all over the nine walls." I don't know anyone at the moment, so I don't want to bury it. ā€

Accompanied by the voice of the old man, a man and a donkey came from a distance stepping on the snow.

"Master's poem!" When Di Qing heard this, she said excitedly.

Li Canghai looked up and saw that the old man was dressed in a crane, with a jade crown on his head, a crane with a childish face, and a statue of a fairy.

But after the man walked in, Di Qing's face suddenly fell.

"Canghai, he's not a master!" Di Qing lowered her voice, including anger.

Li Canghai glanced at her in surprise and said, "Qing'er, are you mistaken?" ā€

Di Qing was a little unhappy, and said with a frown: "Canghai, I have been practicing with my master since I was a child, how can I not recognize him as an old man?" This is clearly a liar! How can this be reasonable, dare to pretend to be the name of the master to deceive, I must teach him a good lesson! ā€

Li Canghai narrowed his eyes and said quietly: "Qing'er, put your anger away for the time being, if he is really a liar, I will not let him go." Let's see what his purpose is for pretending to be Lu Zu. ā€

As he spoke, the old man came to the ancestral hall.

Everyone didn't know Lu Dongbin, but he had heard of his poem, Liu Yang and the others saw this, thinking that it was really Lu Dongbin's arrival, and hurriedly stepped forward and knelt on the ground to salute: "Lu Immortal is coming, we are waiting for a long time, and I hope that the immortal will forgive my sins!" ā€

Hearing that the immortal chief was coming, everyone knelt down and saluted.

In front of the ancestral hall, all the people knelt on the ground, but Li Canghai and the three of them stood in place, which attracted the attention of the old man.

The old man glanced at them, then twisted a Dharma seal, and said, "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, you don't have to be polite, please get up." ā€

"The fact that the Immortal Chief can come to the town is really a blessing for the people of this town. Please ask the immortal chief to drive away the calamity for us and the others. Liu Yang stepped forward and saluted.

The old man nodded and said, "This trip down the mountain is for the purpose of purifying sentient beings and eliminating disasters and misfortunes for the people, which is within the responsibility of the poor road. ā€

Hearing that the old man was willing to pray for the blessings of the people, everyone was happy in their hearts, and once again bowed to the old man.

In the whole world, who doesn't know the name of Lu Dongbin?

This is a real living immortal, if you can be blessed by the immortals, you will be blessed for a long time, away from calamity.

Li Canghai looked at the people who were kneeling down, then looked at the old man, stepped forward and saluted: "I heard that Immortal Lu is about to complete his merits, and he can soar at any time, why did he come here?" ā€

The old man looked Li Canghai up and down, stroked his beard and said, "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, this little friend knows a lot about the poor way. Yes, the poor Dao cultivation is almost complete, and he can fly to the heavenly realm at any time. However, a few days ago, the poor road calculated that there would be a catastrophe here, and the poor road could not bear the disaster of the people, so he went down the mountain to this place before ascending to eliminate this disaster for the people. ā€

The old man said a serious thing, except for Li Canghai and Di Qing, everyone was convinced.

Liu Yang's face was even more ugly, and he said in horror: "Immortal Chief, you said that there was a catastrophe in this town?" What's going on? ā€

The old man glanced at everyone and said, "This is a heavenly opportunity, and it can't be easily revealed." Wait until the matter of the sacrifice is dealt with as soon as possible, and the poor road will explain it to you. ā€

Hearing this, Liu Yang and the others did not dare to hesitate any longer, and hurriedly began to recite the sacrificial text.

Liu Yang recited the prayer in a sonorous tone, while the residents knelt on the ground and bowed to Liu Yang's tone.

When the prayer was finished, the people stood up.

Liu Yang walked to the Ding furnace in front of the ancestral hall and threw the sacrificial text into the Ding furnace to burn, so that the sacrifice was over.

And at this moment, there was a sudden cry of exclamation from among the people.

"No, no, dead man!"

Immediately after, there was a burst of screams, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.

Li Canghai was taken aback, and hurriedly separated everyone and walked over, and sure enough, he saw a man lying in a pool of blood.

To Li Canghai's surprise, this person was none other than Qian Lin!

Li Canghai hurriedly squatted down, reached out to probe Qian Lin's pulse and breath, and found that Qian Lin had no breath, so he couldn't help frowning.

Liu Yang and the others came over and saw Qian Lin lying in a pool of blood, and their faces turned pale.

"What the Immortal Chief said is right, there is indeed a catastrophe in this village! In just two days, two people died! ā€

"Yes, there hasn't been such a murder in this village for many years, this must be a curse!"

"Fortunately, the Lu Immortal is here, and with the Immortal Chief in charge, we will definitely be safe and sound."

……

Several respected old men looked excited, and hurriedly walked towards the old man, begging him to show mercy and help Fengzhen avoid this catastrophe. (To be continued.) )
