288 Ceremony preparations
Scorpion spirits, which are usually seen in the desert.
As for why it's so common in the desert...... Because I got used to the environment there!
So Liu Feng didn't understand that if this creature was chased and killed and wanted to escape, it would definitely have to run away in the desert, why would it run out of the desert?
From a psychological point of view, when people are running away, they usually like to hide and escape in a safe area, and other animals are certainly no exception.
Think about chasing the dogs in the village and running around, no matter how many laps you go around the village, you must have caught the dog in the kennel in the end.
"Why did this scorpion spirit run out of the desert? And by such a coincidence, I came to Uncle Nine? ”
Liu Feng thought for a long time and raised his own questions.
If you don't understand this, I'm afraid this matter is not so easy to solve.
"Xiao Zhang, are you saying that behind this incident, someone deliberately manipulated and lured the scorpion essence over?"
"Hmm." Liu Feng nodded.
The reason for this speculation is that the above doubts are only auxiliary reasons, real evidence...... Fuck, this place is 108,000 miles away from the desert, how did the scorpion spirit pinpoint here?
"Four-eyed Daoist, please think about it carefully, when you fought with that scorpion spirit, did you find anything strange, this is very important, please think carefully."
"Strange place......
The four-eyed Taoist touched his chin and fell into deep thought, and after a long time, he raised his head and said thoughtfully:
"And it didn't ......"
Liu Feng: "........."
So what are you doing with such mystery?
Inside the house, there was silence for a while, everyone had their own thoughts.
Uncle Nine frowned, thinking about how to solve this matter in order to keep the people in the town.
The four-eyed Taoist looked pensive, wondering how to solve this matter.
Xiao Yin looked at the sad face of the master and the young man who was very underbeaten, and her heart was sullen.
Liu Feng was thinking...... What should I eat for lunch?
Fried scorpions?
The trouble is that after this scorpion spirit escaped, it gave birth to an unknown number of small scorpions, which is the most troublesome.
Just like a nest of ants, even if the nest is destroyed, there will always be a few fish that slip through the net.
I'm afraid that no matter how you kill them, you won't be able to kill all the little scorpions in the town.
And once these little scorpions that slipped through the net developed into big demons, it would be a devastating blow to the town.
"Uncle Jiu, I'm afraid this matter requires the strength of many people, and it is impossible for us to kill all the scorpions with us."
Liu Feng proposed his idea to Uncle Jiu, but as for whether he adopted it or not, it had nothing to do with him.
"This ...... Four eyes, what about the strength of those scorpions that have not become sperm? ”
"Actually, it's just an ordinary little scorpion, ordinary people can trample it to death with one kick, otherwise my apprentice wouldn't be able to catch one so easily."
"Master, when you say that, it seems that I am weak!"
"Isn't it?"
"Where am I weak?"
"Where are you not weak?"
"Master, you're so annoying!"
"Go, go, now is not the time for you to play a little temper, while playing, this side is busy!"
"Humph!"
Xiao Yin snorted coldly and didn't speak again.
"In that case, it may be a good idea to ask the people in the town to help you find it, but ......"
"But...... There were originally a lot of ordinary scorpions in the town, Uncle Nine, do you want to talk about this? ”
"Hmm."
Uncle Nine nodded.
It's a real nuisance.
Liu Feng was also a little unbearable, although he would rather kill a thousand by mistake than put a hundred by mistake, but if he was killed with such a stick, it was really bad.
That's two sticks......
"Four-eyed Dao Chief, is there any obvious difference between the scorpion born by the scorpion essence and the ordinary scorpion?"
As for why the word "obvious" was added...... Because if it's not obvious enough, the people won't recognize it!
"Well, not really."
The four-eyed Taoist smiled awkwardly,
"I haven't compared much, but in my impression, there really isn't anything special."
"So, you can't tell the difference?"
"Hmm."
"Alas!"
Liu Feng let out a long sigh,
"Uncle Nine Wow...... Only, beaten to death with a stick! ”
"That's it, for the safety of the people, just do as you say!"
Although he compromised, Uncle Nine still had a reluctant look on his face, obviously he didn't want to use this way.
But under the trade-off, this can only be used to save the lives of the people in the town.
"And so it should be...... So! ”
……
It's almost the New Year, and there is such a thing, and the yamen attaches great importance to it.
But in order not to cause panic and let the people have a good year, the yamen made up the facts.
Scorpions are more common in this day and age and are not too valuable.
The yamen made a bloody investment this time, and two scorpions could be exchanged for a piece of sugar, so the people were very loud.
It's just about the New Year, and you need some sweet candy to add flavor to the New Year.
In front of the yamen, the people lined up in a long line, and many people came to exchange for candy with the scorpions they had worked so hard to catch.
Originally, the yamen needed most of the manpower to handle the ritual of worshiping the heavens, and with such a thing, manpower was even more scarce.
So, they hired a few helpers on a temporary basis...... These helpers are named Liu Qing, Qin Ming, and Prime Minister Dacheng...... The Great Prime Minister? Is that a name?
There is also a small Yin.
Liu Feng adhered to the principle that the fertile water does not flow into the fields of outsiders, and took advantage of the privileges he obtained from Uncle Jiu to arrange these people into the yamen to do business.
This money is not earned in vain.
After glancing at the busy people from a distance, Liu Feng left with a smile and walked towards the town square.
It is the center of the town and spacious enough to host such a large event.
By this time, the altar had already been erected, and it was made of fine wood.
In order to let God see sincerity, in order to let God see that people can afford to use such good wood, so as to experience the prosperity of the world......
To put it bluntly, it's all bells and whistles.
Can God see you?
If you can see it, why are there so many wicked people wandering outside?
And the good guys......
Liu Feng doesn't like this kind of ritual very much, he always thinks that it is a scene work, useless, and a waste of financial and material resources, which is very troublesome!
But there is no way, the people believe that this is this thing, although some people also know that this matter is not so simple to ask the heavens, but at least they can ask for peace of mind, right?
In this life, people need too much comfort in their hearts.
But if there is no self-comfort, people ...... Probably long gone.
Qiusheng and Wencai were instructing a group of workers on how to place various equipment, and Liu Feng stood under the stage and didn't bother.
"Where did this come from? It's so much fun! ”
Liu Feng smiled and moved his muscles.
However, at this moment, he saw two red dots flashing under the altar, the dark part that had been covered.
"Really...... Such a coincidence? ”
