The wind rippled slightly.

The faint lines sung by the shaman rode the wind into everyone's hearts.

The sun should have been extra warm after a rainstorm. But now, the sun is like a sword, stabbing everyone's body.

The soldiers led by Liu Ziang, Xu Ling and Chen Shan were all fine.

The rest of the researchers, as well as the detectives, retreated to the camp.

But even so, there are still many people with horror on their faces.

Chen Shan is very competent, for fear that this group of sacrificial people will become demons. After Liu Ziang and Xu Ling followed the group, he beckoned, summoned a few strong warriors, and followed closely.

Finally, under the yellow paper money scattered everywhere, the group finally arrived at the lake.

The celebrant lifted the mask of horror from his face.

In shaman sacrifices, they rely on this hideous mask to communicate with ghosts and gods and deter evil spirits.

But now the chief priest was unusual, revealing a white face under the mask.

is not very old, it should be about the same as Liu Ziang and Xu Ling.

After lifting the mask, he shook the improvised soul banner in his hand and shook off the strip of cloth from the stick.

A long stick dances as a sword, and it dances fast.

Needless to say, this is again the handiwork of a Taoist priest.

Finally, after dancing for a long time, the celebrant stopped.

At this point, it seems that the sacrifice has come to an end.

The chief priest waved his hand, and several people who resisted the black altar quickly walked to the lake.

The others also dispersed, their expressions loose.

And the chief priest glanced at Liu Ziang and Xu Ling and his party running over.

first smiled at Liu Ziang, and then looked at Xu Ling in surprise.

Although Xu Ling has changed her clothes, she is still dressed in ancient costumes.

However, he was not too surprised, and immediately looked at Chen Shan and his party in surprise, especially after seeing Chen Shan's sophisticated equipment, his expression was straight.

"You are the leaders of the province?" Finally, he asked solemnly.

Before Liu Ziang and his party could speak, he preemptively explained: "Don't get me wrong, we are not promoting superstitious activities. It's just a local custom, once a year! ”

Although Chen Shan had a gun, he was in his age, and of course no one would think he was a bandit.

And Xu Ling is really amazing, according to her, they are legal this time and have already filed the case.

The equipment of Chen Shan and his party was even sent down from above.

"We're just a scientific exploration team, so there's no need to be nervous!" Xu Ling explained with a smile, and then asked, "You should have sacrificed to the gods and ghosts just now, right?" ”

"It stands to reason that there doesn't seem to be such a sacrificial method in the whole country, right?"

Maybe it was because Xu Ling was dressed in ancient costume, and after hearing her words, the chief priest was not surprised.

He just smiled and said, "Indeed, this kind of sacrificial method is not unique in the country, but it is definitely rare. ”

"Can you tell us why?" Liu Ziang hurriedly asked.

"Hmm!"

The priest thought for a moment, organized the language, and then said, "Many years ago, this lake was not a lake, it was a deep pit. ”

Pointing to the lake, he continued: "It is said that at that time, there were evil spirits in the deep pit that caused trouble in the local area. ”

"It just so happened that our ancestor passed through here, but he couldn't win the battle against the evil spirit. So he found another way, diverted the water of Dongting Lake, turned the pit into a lake, and suppressed the evil with the power of heaven and earth. ”

"Huh! Interesting, I've only heard of casting spells to catch ghosts, and you can still use this? Chen Shan smiled.

When the celebrant heard this slightly mocking tone, he didn't care.

just continued: "It's just that the evil is too powerful, although it was flooded by the lake, it still didn't die." Turned into a strange fish in the lake. ”

"Master Zu was afraid that the strange fish would make trouble, so he stayed here. First, he lit up the lake god in the lake to suppress the strange fish. It is also sacrificed every year to soothe the strange fish. ”

He smiled: "It is said that in the beginning, there was no previous ritual for worshipping the gods. Until the Ming Dynasty, an ancestor said that he saw the god of the lake in the lake, and he added such a process. ”

"Of course!" He shook his head, "Lake gods, strange fish, evil ghosts or something." Definitely not, but after so many years, it has become a traditional local festival. ”

It can be seen that the main priest's sense of survival is very strong. Even if he knows that there is a scientific research team in front of him, he still keeps clarifying.

"Lake God? Yesterday......! Chen Shan paused for a moment and immediately spoke.

But before the words could be spoken, Liu Ziang and Xu Ling glared at him at the same time.

He was also quick to react and quickly shut his mouth. But he still murmured in his heart, "Have they never seen such a big snake?" ”

This person had never seen a black snake, and Liu Ziang was not surprised at all.

The black snake only appeared in yesterday's rainstorm and thunder weather.

Who would wander around in that kind of world?

At this moment, a strange fragrance wafted in.

Liu Ziang's nose twitched, and he immediately said incredulously: "Wine? Peach blossom wine? ”

When I turned my head to look, I saw that the black altar that had been resisted by others had been opened.

The aroma of this wine comes from the jar.

"Wine as a sacrifice?" Liu Ziang asked again.

The chief priest nodded, and he also looked strange: "Master Zu's will, the thing that sacrifices to the strange fish must be peach blossom secret brew!" It's a little weird indeed! ”

"Peach blossoms?" Hearing this, Liu Zi raised his eyebrows slightly.

In order to find Taoyuan Immortal Village, Xu Ling locked this place.

And now, it is necessary to sacrifice the peach blossom secret brew to the monsters in the lake.

In "The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring", before entering the Taoyuan Immortal Village, you have to pass through a peach forest.

For a while, Liu Ziang felt that there seemed to be some connection between this.

Xu Ling also frowned slightly, and watched curiously as all the fragrant wine in the jar was poured into the lake.

"Alas!" Only Chen Shan patted his thigh, "It's a pity, this smells like good wine." ”

"Huh!" The chief priest immediately shook his head at Chen Shan, "It's good wine to smell the aroma, but you can't drink it." ”

"Why?" Liu Ziang and Xu Ling both looked at him strangely.

Pointing to the poured wine, the priest said: "The peach blossom secret brew, the 'secret' is the secret, and there is a secret five stone powder in the wine!" Has a strong hallucinogenic effect. Some fish will even get 'drunk' to death. ”

"Five stones?" Liu Ziang and Xu Ling were shocked at the same time.

Although Xu Ling's housekeeper pretended to be a rich man. But the immortal bones and paintings he brought to the store were not fake!

The paint for that painting was indeed made of human blood mixed with loose ore powder like 'five stone powder'!

Peach blossom!

Five stone scattered!

Two clues that go hand in hand!

Liu Ziang immediately looked at Xu Ling.

He has always pretended to be high and profound in front of Xu Ling, because he has thought since he was a child that only cold and mature men can attract beautiful women.

But for a moment, he really couldn't pretend anymore.

He desperately wanted to know why Xu Ling's team would lock the preliminary location in such a suspicious place.

"Whoa!"

But before he could speak, a series of waves surged up.

Everyone turned their heads to look at the lake again, and after the wine was poured into the lake, huge fish jumped up from the surface of the lake and swam towards the place where the peach blossom secret brew was poured.

The splash was thrown out by their tails.

Liu Ziang also remembers that these fish were the schools of fish that went up the current yesterday.

When the fish swims to the shore, they gulp down the water containing the secret brew.

After a while, I saw a lot of fish turning their bellies white, as if they were drunk to death.

However, in the next second, a large cloud of bubbles rose from under the drunken school of fish.

At the moment when the bubble popped up, the people surrounding the lake dispersed in a hurry.

As it dispersed, a huge fish head burst out of the water. He opened his huge mouth and swallowed a large piece of white-bellied fish, and then sank into the lake.

"Oops!" At that moment, Xu Ling's expression changed greatly, and he turned his head fiercely and glared at Liu Ziang, "It's all your fault!" ”

"Quick, call someone over and want to fish!" Immediately, she shouted at Chen Shan again, and ran towards the lake while exclaiming.

The corners of Liu Ziang's mouth also twitched.

It's just that the fish that surfaced on the surface of the lake is about the same size as the fish that was eaten by the black snake yesterday.

Definitely can swallow one person in one bite!
