My uncle drew a circle on the bank of the river with chicken blood, and threw the dead chicken into the river, and then I noticed that the surface of the river was brownish.

The reason why the Yellow River is called the Yellow River is because in tens of millions of years, a large amount of yellow sediment has been washed down from the Loess Plateau in the upper reaches, resulting in the entire river surface is earthy yellow.

"Uncle! How the river changes color! I asked my uncle suspiciously.

The uncle stared at the two dead chickens floating on the water, and explained without looking back: "I'm afraid the things in the river can't be suppressed!" ”

I was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "Are you talking about the river god?" ”

"The river god is actually just a very general name, to be precise, this is an ancient power hidden in the Yellow River......" Before he finished speaking, I heard the sound of "popping" in the water, and I hurriedly looked away, just to see a basin-sized whirlpool emerging from the river, and the two dead roosters were gone.

"Uncle—"

"Hurry up and throw down the bronze statue of the double face, quick!"

I let out a "yes" and threw the contents of my arms out after taking two steps forward.

"Bang-"

Impartiality just smashed right on the whirlpool.

The bronze statue immediately sank, the whirlpool gradually disappeared, and the riverside returned to calm.

"There's something in the water?"

I can't help but ask my uncle here.

The uncle made a silent gesture and pointed to the water.

At this time, the neighbors of Donghu Village arrived one after another, all panting, and the uncle turned around and frowned and reminded them with gestures not to make a sound, but there was still time, and the riverside suddenly became bustling.

I was a little overwhelmed, thinking to myself that the river god was sleeping under the water, and my uncle was afraid of waking it up?

"Bad things!"

As soon as this thought came to me, I heard the uncle in front of me sigh in a low voice.

This is the second time I've heard my uncle sigh. In the past few days of getting along, I can clearly feel that my uncle has a calm personality and is particularly strong in his inner spiritual strength, even in a situation like the Thirteen Ghost Caves of the Yellow River, he is not afraid, let alone showing emotions such as discouragement.

At this time, when I heard my uncle sighing, a bad feeling immediately welled up in my heart.

There was another huge splash, and when I looked at the river again, I saw pieces of chicken feathers floating up at the bottom of the water, and I could recognize them at a glance, which were the feathers of the two roosters just now.

At this time, the uncle turned around suddenly, the expression on his face was a little hideous, he glanced at the villagers who were still panting and whispering, no one said a word, and all of them immediately quieted down as if they had been pointed.

"Insufficient success, more than failure!"

Uncle's deep voice made me shudder.

"Jianmin, what's going on?"

At this time, a thin black old man walked out of the crowd.

The uncle glanced at the old man and replied coldly: "It's not you who provoked it!" ”

I remember seeing this old man twice before, and it seems that he is one of the old people who speak more weightily in the East Village.

Countryside! Most of them pay attention to traditional customs, the elders of the family speak very weightily, although there are village branch secretaries' records, there are also village chief captains and other positions, but the affairs of each family are still handled by the family first, and even the major events in the village have to go through several prestige, large years, and the elders who speak with weight are decided, under normal circumstances, the village branch secretary or the village head, will also take the initiative to discuss with them, at least a hello.

This is the countryside, this is one of the traditional customs, although this power in the village will not be above the law, but in the Langlang world under the cover of the law, it is a force that cannot be underestimated.

Of course, I'm talking about the central and eastern parts of China, the rural areas with acceptable economic conditions, and in the remote mountainous areas of the west, just as Master Blagu said back then, no one understands the law at all, and all the big and small affairs in the village are all decided by the owner of the village or the owner of the Miao, and the people in charge of the jurisdiction to which these cottages belong can only open one eye and close one eye.

The black thin old man looked stunned: "What trouble did we cause?" When are we in trouble! ”

"Casually sacrificing the river angered the things in the water." Uncle replied.

The thin black man still had a face full of "I don't understand", but I understood. The last time I sacrificed to the river, a corpse suddenly surfaced in the water, which caused the ritual to be interrupted, and this is probably the reason!

The old man stared at him, and put on a posture of relying on the old and selling the old.

"What then?"

The uncle turned around and glanced at the river: "You must use a life sacrifice, I have returned the double-sided bronze statue, originally two black roosters should be fine, but you just quarreled like this - first prepare a black cat, a black dog and a black donkey, now I have to try!" ”

Ten minutes later, Li Bo and the others hurriedly came to the river with the offering table, holding yellow incense, burning paper and other tributes.

An hour later, Zhou Laohan brought people to get a black dog, a black cat, and a black donkey, and at this time, there were hundreds of people around the entire old wharf, all of whom were neighbors of the village, but unlike an hour ago, all of them stood quietly, like wooden people.

In this hour, there was bad news.

A large number of red snakes crawled to the village, many people and domestic animals were bitten, domestic animals directly foamed at the mouth, within a few minutes, they died whine, after the person was bitten, he was immediately unconscious, was rushed to the hospital, it is estimated that there is a lot of luck.

At this time, the village really realized that something big had happened!

After the tribute was placed, the black donkey, the black dog, and the black cat, as if they had been fixed, all stood motionless by the river, and the uncle raised his knife like a fierce god, cut off his head and bleed, and threw the corpses into the river.

I know that this kind of sacrifice is called "life sacrifice", which has been used since ancient times, and my uncle told me about it before.

Uncle first used a black rooster, and now he uses a black cat, a black dog, and a black donkey, if that doesn't work...... The back of my neck was suddenly cold.

What era is this, it shouldn't be a "human sacrifice"!

I stared at the carcasses in the water, trying to see what would happen next.

At first, the corpse floated motionless on the surface of the water, but after about half a minute, a whirlpool appeared on the surface of the water again, full of square meters, and the corpses of three animals were sucked to the bottom of the water right under my nose, and then there was a sound similar to the barking of a cow from the bottom of the water.

"Woooooooo

The voice was low, but it was clearly audible, and at the same time, there was a one-meter-high wave on the water, you must know that there was no wind at all at this time, and the water was as flat as a mirror a minute ago.

The uncle stared at the whirlpool for a few moments, was stunned, turned around and shouted to the neighbors: "Dragon, snake, leave quickly!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, there were a dozen or so people in the crowd, trotting towards the village.

Then the uncle shouted to the crowd: "Sheep, cattle, horses, pigs, come here!" ”

As soon as these words landed, twenty or thirty villagers slowly walked towards me and my uncle. First Chinese Network

"Follow me!" After speaking, the uncle knelt down facing the Yellow River and kowtowed several times in a row.

Everybody did it.

After kowtowing, the uncle was still kneeling, and everyone behind him had to kneel.

As the river calmed down, the sound of a cow's bark faded away, and I was relieved.

The scene was silent for a minute, and the uncle slowly stood up, and the black and thin old man came over again, and at this time he had completely lost the arrogant and domineering momentum just now.

"Brother, what's wrong?"

Uncle kept staring at the water: "It should be fine for the time being!" But I'm afraid it won't last long, and I have to find the Yellow River ghost coffin and send it to the place where he should be. ”

"You're talking about the red coffin back then?"

The old man's voice trembled immediately.

"That's right! It was when the red coffin was that for the sake of the whole village, I hid the ghost coffin of the Yellow River in the thirteen ghost caves - my family's old 'second is still better than dead. ”

A hint of anger flashed across the uncle's face.

The thin black man didn't speak, obviously knowing about it.

When everyone heard the uncle say that it was okay for the time being, they all breathed a sigh of relief, and the gossip was shouting again.

"But what about the red snake in the village?"

"Yes! The red snake seemed to be venomous and was bitten...... I'm afraid it's ......."

The uncle didn't say anything, turned around and walked in the direction of the village.

At this time, my mind came to mind the previous experience in Zhanhua County, the situation was similar to the current situation, there were many snakes in the village overnight, and those snakes were still very disciplined, and more than 100 people were trapped in a ruined temple outside the village...... In the end, I figured out the reason, and it turned out that Bragu's apprentice used Gu magic to control those snakes.

Gu art?

Suddenly, the word stuck in my mind.

I'm also Bragu's apprentice! He forced me to memorize a lot of Gu spells, and he also stuffed a natal Gu into my stomach...... Can I control these snakes too?

Thinking about it again, he can only use Gu spells, but he doesn't know how to use them at all, just like Yang Guo in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Zhao Zhijing only taught him the mental method of Quanzhen Teaching, but did not teach moves, and the result is that he doesn't know martial arts at all.

Almost as soon as the thought came to me, I felt something in my stomach squirm a few times.

I wasn't afraid, after all, similar experiences had occurred a few times before, and I knew it was that natal Gu.

Ever since my uncle told me that the life of this worm and mine have become one, and that we have become brothers who "do not seek to be born in the same year and month, but to die in the same year and month", every time I rub my stomach, I am cautious, for fear of hurting it.

I've moved Natal Gu a few times before, but I didn't take it seriously.

At this time, looking at the panicked villagers of Donghu Village, and then at the back of the uncle who was gradually moving away, I unconsciously recalled the time when the natal Gu in my stomach squirmed before, as if it was ...... It seems like there's a pattern to be found, every time I think of it.

As soon as this thought came out, the back of my head felt like it was being electrified.

Natal Gu is a holy relic in the art of witchcraft, a natal Gu can only change its owner once in its life, and it is tied to the master's life...... Since it is a holy thing, it cannot be understood in a conventional way...... Could it be telepathic with me?

Suppressing the beating heart, I deliberately thought about the natal Gu in my stomach, and it really squirmed a few more times.

I was immediately surprised and delighted, and subconsciously asked the Gu worm in my heart: How can I control the poisonous snakes crawling into the village?

It was really a knee-jerk move, and I didn't think it would come of anything.

What I never expected was that as soon as this idea came to me, there was a response from somewhere deep in my brain: I can.

At this moment, if the feeling just now was surprise and joy, now it is a surprise.

Oh my God, what's going on, the natal Gu in my body really has telepathy with me, this isn't a plot that only exists in mythological stories!

"What do you do to get rid of those snakes?" I silently repeated this sentence in my mind, hoping that the natal Gu in my womb could respond.

"You find a high place, then silently recite the 'snake repellent spell', and you can leave the rest to me!" Sure enough, a message was received in the brain.

I restrained my excitement at this time, and hurriedly asked, "What can you do in my belly?" ”

The natal Gu in his stomach responded: "I am the king of ten thousand Gu, these snakes are actually Gu snakes living under the mud and sand in the depths of the Yellow River, only if you pronounce 'snake exorcism Gu', I can call all the Gu snakes back, and then you can control them through me!" ”

Snake Repellent Gu?

Bragu forced me to memorize hundreds of spells, and I quickly combed through them before I remembered that in fact, Bragu had only given me the names of these spells, and as for the content of the spells, I didn't understand a word.

I took a deep breath and strode to the dam, probably because I was stunned just now, which caused many villagers to stare at me, and it was all tied to my neck, and I didn't bother to pay attention to everyone's eyes.

Standing on the dam, I recited the 'Snake Exorcism Mantra' in the direction of Higashito Village, and I recited it several times in one breath, and the natal Gu in my belly kept squirming.

After reading it, I asked the Natal Gu with my thoughts, "What's wrong?" ”

The Natal Gu replied, "I have already sent out sound waves, and all the Gu Snakes will gather at the fastest speed. ”

I added, "Can you keep them from hurting?" ”

Natal Gu replied, "I know all your thoughts, and they have already conveyed this kind of command!" ”

I was overjoyed and hurriedly shouted to the crowd: "Don't worry! All the snakes will leave the village soon and the snakes will no longer hurt people......"

Almost as soon as I finished speaking, I heard someone shouting, "Snake! Snake! Snake! ”

When everyone followed the reputation, they saw a red snake more than a meter long crawling from the village, followed by the second, and the third, and in less than three or four minutes, there were at least hundreds of red snakes crawling in the entire range of vision.

This frightened all the villagers present.

My heart is also up and down, grandma's, so many snakes! Just looking at them, I feel like I'm panicking, and if they don't get out of control, I'm in trouble......

The natal Gu in the body sent a message: "You can control them through me, as long as you want something, I will receive the information transmitted by your brain, and then transmit it to them with sound waves that only they feel." ”

"Good!"

I took a deep breath and thought about getting all the snakes to line up in a neat line. Almost as soon as the idea came to me, I saw that all the snakes began to crawl, and in less than a minute, they were "square", and they all looked up motionlessly and spat black letters at me.
