Chapter 32: The Sacrifice
"You're awake, sit down."
It was a woman who spoke, with a delicate appearance, and a pair of small tiger teeth leaked out when she spoke.
"Sister, Brother Chen."
"You've been asleep for a few days, you should be hungry, I'll cook for you."
Long Qianxue laughed, and didn't wait for Chen Haodong to speak, turned around and set off to get busy.
"Your sister isn't?"
Chen Haodong asked suspiciously, remembering that Long Yang said that his sister was sick.
"The monk cured my sister."
Before Chen Haodong could speak, Long Yang spoke again.
"Brother Chen, thank you for following the monk, otherwise my sister and I wouldn't know what to do."
"There is nothing to do, you and I are destined, and we can help nature."
Chen Haodong smelled the aroma of food, and his stomach growled.
"Hehe, Brother Chen, the meal will be ready soon."
After Long Yang finished speaking, he ran to the kitchen and brought a bowl of oily baba, bacon, salted duck eggs and other delicious food, and put them on the seat.
"Brother Chen, come and eat."
Chen Haodong had slept for so long, gobbling up the food on the table.
Not to mention, it really has a unique flavor, which is really different from the taste of eating outside.
"It's so fragrant, you won't wait for me if you have meat to eat."
Chen Haodong looked at the door, and the monk was standing at the door.
"Monk."
Chen Haodong glanced at the monk and didn't need to explain anything.
"Lao Chen, I didn't find it."
The monk said the matter aside, the Gu master in the village here helped you see it before, helped you temporarily suppress the Gu poison, and said that you fell into the Heartless Gu.
If you don't solve it within half a month, you will be robbed of your body by Gu and become a puppet of the Gu people, and then you will be a killing machine.
"It's okay, if I'm taken away by then, remember to send me away."
Chen Haodong looked at the monk with firm eyes.
"Amitabha, you'll be fine."
The monk said firmly, and suddenly the conversation changed.
"I heard, in a few days, there will be a sacrificial ceremony here, and there will be a great Gu master presiding, and we will go over to find him when the time comes."
"Hey, I guess it's a bit difficult to do."
At this time, Long Qianxue spoke.
"It is said that this dragon granny has just become a high priest, and the previous high priest abdicated for no reason."
Long Qianxue explained.
It is said that Granny Long is now fifty or sixty years old, and she is the new high priest of the M clan.
After eating, Chen Haodong felt much better, it should be that he hadn't replenished his strength for a long time.
"Long Yang, take us out for a walk."
"Okay."
"I'll go too, there's a ceremony here in the afternoon, you can go and see it, but don't talk nonsense."
Long Qianxue said.
The four of them walked out, and the rain had stopped at this time, but the farmland had become a pond.
"It's over there, right?"
Chen Haodong pointed to where a lot of people gathered in front of him, men, women and children, there were one or two hundred people.
"Brother Chen, that's it, this is Long Po's people drawing lots."
"What's going on?"
Chen Haodong asked inexplicably.
"Isn't there a sacrificial ceremony in a few days, it's a sacrifice selection."
Long Qianxue seemed to know a lot, and then said.
"Whoever is drawn will be a doll to be sacrificed to the mountain god."
"Taboo? It's no wonder that the mountains and forests here are full of dirty things. ”
At this time, two Gu masters were talking about something on the platform that had been set up, and then took out a bamboo stick into the wooden box.
Then two men went down and picked up a girl of six or seven years old.
This has been repeated, a total of four children were held, and the children sat on the stage and laughed,
At this time, a person on the stage opened his mouth to say a word, and the people below followed.
"Brother Chen, monk, kneel."
At this time, Long Qianxue and Long Yang also knelt down.
Chen Haodong glanced at the dragon eye and knelt down, although he didn't understand.
"What is this doing?"
"This is a child on the altar, which means thank you for solving the problem for our village."
"Do you have to sacrifice every year?"
"No, once every six years."
"I originally had an eldest brother, but unfortunately, he was also sacrificed by Long Po."
Saying this, Long Yang shed tears.
I didn't expect his family to have this story.
After hearing this, Chen Haodong wanted to rush forward, but was stopped by the monk.
"Calm down, we're just outsiders and there are so many people here."
The monk explained, afraid that Chen Haodong would make some moves.
"Longyang, do you have a mountain god?"
Long Yang didn't answer, but said.
"I heard from my sister that there was no sacrificial event for a year, and many people died from hunting in the mountains to cut wood, and the bones could not be found."
Long Yang seemed to be recalling something and said.
"Also, that year, the previous sacrifice was terrible. Mudslides are frequent in the mountains. ”
Chen Haodong thought of it, it should be some dirty thing, there is no god in this world.
If it's a powerful ghost demon in the Yin Division's position. Or it is impossible to do such a thing if the tragedy is successful.
It's scary to think about, the toad spirit is so powerful when I just came, and now there is a big demon.
After watching for two or three hours, it rained again, and then the meeting was dismissed, and the four of them returned to Long Qianxue's house.
"Monk, do you want to go to the sacrificial place at night?"
Chen Haodong wanted to see what the situation was.
"But your body?"
The monk hesitated, in fact, the monk also wanted to go and see, but he didn't dare to go alone, and he was afraid that there would be an accident when he heard Chen Haodong say this.
"Let's go and see, it's okay, if there is any situation, we will withdraw immediately."
"Amitabha."
The monk did not speak, which was considered a tacit acquiescence.
"Long Qianxue, do you know that the day after tomorrow sacrifice ceremony is so?"
Long Qianxue looked at Chen Haodong with an incredulous expression, knowing the strength of the two, they couldn't deal with that monster.
"You better not get involved, it's not good to do anything when the time comes,"
Long Qianxue explained.
Both of them are kind to themselves, and they are afraid that they will be in trouble when they encounter dirty things or Gu masters.
"Don't worry, we'll be fine."
Chen Haodong opened his mouth and said, in fact, he also wanted to see who the sacredness was.
"Amitabha, my Buddha is merciful, purifying all sentient beings, donor, do you want to go on like this forever?"
The monk spoke,
Long Qianxue also wanted to avenge her family, and gritted her teeth after taking the test for a long time.
"I'll go with you."
"No, it's dangerous to go again and again."
Chen Haodong said.
If there is really a big demon, it will be 94 life at that time, and if it is discovered by the villagers, or if it is reported, it will be troublesome.
"Alright then, I'll tell you how to get there."
Long Qianxue thought about it and told Chen Haodong the address.
Chen Haodong picked up the guy with the monk and walked outside.
At this time, the moon was completely invisible, it was pitch black, but fortunately it did not rain at this time, and the two of them slowly walked towards their destination with the help of the lights in the rooms of the other villagers.
Chen Haodong touched the monk all the way,
