Yunjiang County, Dujiang Township, Sihe Village.

The sky was bright, and a stage was set up on the bank of the river.

But the play on this stage was really shocking.

People dressed in strange costumes play the role of these demons, dancing with knives and guns, even like a group of demons dancing around, looking dark and cold.

But there was a lot of excitement on this stage, but the spectators gathered below looked solemn and solemn, not at all like they were listening to a big play, but more like waiting for the verdict of life and death, like a funeral.

The stage scene was finally sung, and a goddess with sparse and yellow hair, a layer of portraits of gods, demons and monsters on her face, and a black robe full of ribbons walked out.

Her eyes looked at the rolling Yangtze River and stood on the high platform.

"Hoa!" The goddess, who was originally forty-five degrees to the sky, suddenly raised her hand, shouted violently, and then knelt on the ground.

Immediately afterwards, a group of black-clothed men carried the same thing and set up offering platforms on the bank of the river.

There were live pigs tied up with flowers, dead cow heads, goats struggling powerlessly, and three or four immature young children dressed up as gods.

And next to the toddler was an angry man.

This is a human sacrifice, not because it wants to appease the anger of the river god, who dares to do this.

The men, women and children in the audience were silent one by one, not daring to say more, but their faces were extremely unbearable.

But more of them looked at the goddess with a frenzied face, and the statue of the river god behind the goddess.

"Rumors confuse the public, Lao Tzu can't wait that the knife in his hand was not cut accurately."

"Devil woman, you femme fatale poisonous woman, you will be damned."

"Damnation!"

The big man shouted angrily and kept yelling and scolding at the crazy woman.

"Don't worry, you will sacrifice to the river god later, and then you will contribute some strength to protect the party." The goddess didn't care.

Worship the river god every year, radiate ten miles and eight towns, not only to sacrifice livestock but also to sacrifice boys and girls, this year it is the turn of Sihe Village.

In the crowd, there were crying mothers and crying children.

"Life is hard, isn't the river god bless us, why do you want to kill people!"

"What is bitter, if it weren't for the river god, where would we have a good life, and what would we live on." The fisherman with the smell of fish stepped forward and buttoned down a big hat.

"Yes, if we don't worship the river god, who will bless us?"

"The river is getting more and more turbulent, and a few people will drown if you are not careful, and when the time comes, it will anger the river god, whether our fishing boats will go out of the river, this day will not pass!" The boatmen gathered together and blocked the people of Rivers Village, and the two sides looked at each other angrily

"Haha, crazy woman, your good days are over." The tied man shouted angrily on the side.

The clamor below caused the goddess to be extremely dissatisfied.

The leading man understood in his heart, and rushed forward viciously, "I don't think about the good of the river god, if it weren't for the blessing of the river god, the flood that has occurred for so many years will send you to see Lord Yama." ”

"Be honest with me one by one, it's just wolf-hearted, and you dare to be disrespectful to the river god."

They were beaten and wailed all over the place.

"Kneel down for me, if you neglect the river god and provoke the wrath of the gods, don't say that you, even if it is ten miles and eight towns, you will be unlucky!"

The people in Dujiang Township looked at them and gritted their teeth one by one, but they didn't dare to say more, and they didn't dare to fall out with the goddess in front of them.

People who rely on the river to live still count on the blessing of the river god, if it is really troublesome, then in the name of the entire river god, they will not be able to live near the river township.

The goddess looked at the believers who had gradually settled down, and then turned around with satisfaction, and continued to dance in front of the statue of the river god, saying something from time to time that ordinary people could not understand.

The goddess's method of sacrificing to the river god is really a little different, it looks very evil, and it can really frighten many people.

"Blood!"

The executioner standing on the side directly cut off the head of the bound big man, and the moment the blood column spurted out, a small pot skillfully caught all the blood.

I saw that her hands that looked like dead wood were stained with fiery blood, and she drew ghost charms on the bodies of the boys and girls who were full of fear, and finally pressed a black pill into the boy's mouth.

As the pill was taken, the blood on the boys and girls swirled, and the blood rune that had just been drawn turned over with blood, looking even more demonic.

"Throw him down the river, don't stain the eyes of the river god."

As she spoke, the goddess lit the high incense with the thickness of an adult's fingers, and inserted one pillar after another into the incense burner in front of her, knelt on the ground again, and suddenly let out a voice: "Ho~Wei~"

The whole ceremony reached its climax, with gongs and drums beating on the shore, and the already frightened crowd fell to their knees and chanted the same trumpet.

Every time the drum was beaten, the crowd fell on their knees and bowed their heads.

The uniform shouts and cheers rose and fell, flowing towards the river with the rolling thick air.

They are calling on the river god to come and enjoy the offerings and bless the coming year.

The bad habits passed down from generation to generation have a strong barbaric atmosphere, but this is even more convincing to the people of the ten miles and eight towns, they are worshipping the real gods, giving birth to fear and faith.

The smoke travels down the wind and downstream.

At this time, there happened to be a person who stepped on the waves of the river and went upstream.

Feng Yi raised his brows and furrowed slightly.

It was the smell of incense in the Taoist temple of the past.

But there is a majestic incense power in this breath.

That's right, it's incense.

Further on, the sound of drums and earth-shattering shouts could be heard from the riverbank.

Vaguely, I saw the high altar of the gods, and the people on the shore who were kneeling on the ground and bowing to the river, as if to welcome the gods.

This, no, it smells of blood!

"Sacrifice to the gods?"

Feng Yiyang's mind unfolded, and he instantly understood everything.

"Human sacrifice!"

"This is such a foolish human sacrifice."

The wind is easy to blow that air.

If the sacrifice of the living can attract the gods of the heavens, then what kind of incense is needed, is it not that there are many battles in this world, and the gods who are high above are not going to be busy to death.

The goddess on the shore was already sweating profusely.

Bowing, attracting the incense, howling for a long time, according to the past, the river demon has already appeared, but why is it missing today.

The black-clothed Chinese characters on the side behind him stared at each other with big eyes, and they didn't know why, so they had to continue to kneel on the ground and listen to the goddess's promise.

Round after round, the drums beat again.

After a long time, I finally saw the waves surging above the river, and the wind blowing across the riverbank.

A figure walked slowly on the river, like a god in the world.

"The river god has appeared, the river god has appeared."

The goddess was so frightened that her eyes were about to pop out, and then she suddenly woke up, and hurriedly shouted loudly, so excited that she almost wanted to pull over.
