Chapter 399: The Grand Gathering (4)
"Knock knock—" The sound of drums rang out.
"Woo-woo-woo" The low horn cornet also sounded, Nanliang Mountain is already crowded at the moment, from the foot of the mountain to look up at Nanliang Mountain is like a high erected chimney, there is a platform like a barrier on the top of the mountain, there is a gap in the center of the platform, whenever the sun rises and sets, the position of the sun will be just able to be embedded in this position, and the bird god they believe in is actually the sunbird. Legend has it that the Emperor of Heaven has ten sons called the full golden crow, they take turns on duty to shine on the earth to bring light to all things, but one day when the emperor goes out, these ten golden crows appear in the sky at the same time, for a time everything withered and withered, the rivers dried up, and the people were about to be sunburned. Everyone resents the appearance of the sun and longs for the existence of the night! Finally, a sharpshooter came out of the human race, he found the bow and arrows in the mountain, and shot nine arrows in a row to shoot the nine golden crows in the sky to death, people have forgotten the warmth brought to them by the golden crows at this time, the archers were not willing to shoot the tenth arrow after shooting the nine arrows, the tenth golden crow in the sky was unfortunately shot into a wing, it fluttered down and the earth instantly returned to a darkness. One day, two days, three days passed, people began to fear the darkness, and the original hero archer became an executioner, but there was still no light in the sky. Someone suggested that everyone light the torch, place the tribute to ask for the forgiveness of the golden crow, hoping to make the sky bright again, the emperor lived up to the heart of the frightened golden crow after recuperating from the wounds to see the stars on the earth with thousands of lights, it also felt the people's pious repentance, originally they appeared in the sky at the same time and made a mistake, the last golden crow gradually appeared to bring a ray of light to the earth, and the people who saw the light again began to forget the previous unhappiness, In order to prevent the golden crow from disappearing again, many places have designated the day of the reappearance of the golden crow as the bird god festival. The people of the Yamagoe area will come to worship the bird god on this important day every year, or the major events in the clan will be announced on this day, and there will be a competition in the ring on this day, and it is not a simple matter to sit in the position of the patriarch.
At the beginning, Sha Yi was able to sit in the position of the patriarch, one is that he is overwhelming the whole audience by force, and the other is that this person is open-minded and can settle the disputes between the villages, and every year Sha Jia Zhai can win steadily, and gradually Sha Yi has not even had any objections to the position of the patriarch. Now the difference is that Sha Yi is dead, his son Sha Maha is on the run, now who can dominate the whole field depends on whose means, the force competition does not need to be the owner of the village in person, there are such brave people in the village can win, as long as there can be a strong warrior in the village, then it can win the position of patriarch for the owner of the village. In the next year, the other villages must listen to the arrangements of the patriarch, no matter how big or small, as long as it is external, the patriarch must be in charge. The population of the 36 villages is no less than 300,000, and these rights are also hot for the eyes of each village.
"The sacrificial meeting has begun—please take your seats one after another!" The ring has been set up in the center of the altar, and the flags of each village have been set up around the ring, and tables and stools are placed under the flags waiting for the people of each village to sit down. Although Shajiazhai died violently this year, Sha Ren still needs Sha Jiazhai's consent to operate, Sha Ren hurriedly rushed back to the village, in addition to wanting to rescue the villagers, he also had to arrange people to build the venue for the sacrificial meeting. Now that the venue has been built, the owners of each village have begun to enter with their own good hands, but in the crowd of Shajiazhai, Yan Baihu saw a familiar figure, he thought that he had seen it wrong, and a closer look was not someone else, it was Sha Maha who absconded in Yangzhou, at this moment Sha Ren retreated behind Sha Maha and took the lead.
"Ladies and gentlemen, today's sacrificial meeting was supposed to be presided over by my brother Shayi, but my brother unfortunately passed away three months ago, and there was Sha Maha acting as an agent in the village. It's just that Sha Maha is still young enough to serve as a priest, and Sha Ren, as his second uncle, naturally helps to operate, and also invites Yu Ji Yu, a master of the Tao, to pray for my Shanyue! You don't have any opinions, do you? Sha Ren took the lead in the ring to give a salute, but when he spoke, he remembered those things in the village three days ago, and he looked at Yan Baihu out of the corner of his eye, and when he spoke, he bit his cheek and said.
Three days ago, Zhou Yu, Dian Wei, and Sha Mohe knocked on the door of Shajiazhai alone, but Huang Zhong and Zhou An had already pulled out all the shadows near Shajiazhai, and they were ambushed outside Shajiazhai, even if someone in the middle of the village wanted to spread the news, it was impossible. But as soon as Sha Mohe appeared, the soldiers in Shajia Village surrounded the three of them with knives and guns, and one of the soldiers opened his mouth and asked, "Young Patriarch - what did you run back from?" Isn't this embarrassing for the brothers? ”
"Little Liu—why are you on duty, but what about the others? And what is my second uncle doing now? I want to see him—" Sha Maha has a little bit of the majesty of the lord of the village, and he is usually very good with these soldiers in the village, even if he fights with a sword, no one will do anything.
"They all went to Yangzhou and were defeated and became prisoners, this time we can come back because-" Xiao Liu's arm was still wrapped in gauze, and it seemed that he had suffered a knife wound, but the movement at the gate of the village had already alarmed Sha Ren in the village, and Xiao Liu's words came to his lips and saw the people rushing out of the village and quickly shut up.
"Come on—take down this rebel, I didn't expect you, the rebel, to have the courage to come back? Do you still have the face to come back? Take it down—" When Sha Ren was getting a headache from the older generation in the village, someone came to report that Sha Maha had come back and was surrounded by soldiers at the gate of the village.
"Pap, papa, pap - the second village master is really still such a hot temperament, now you Shajiazhai is worried about internal and external troubles, if Sha Maha will not come to you can live in this field? The soldiers of the village saw this clearly, but you young village master, do you all think in your hearts that he killed your village master? You ask yourself, even if you are a bastard, whether you are drunk or crazy, but you will not do anything to your parents, do you think that Samaha can kill people drunk without getting drunk? The bravery of the lord of the sand village is well known, that is, he let Sha Maha not be an opponent with one hand, and such a tiger will be killed by his own son? Do you think it's possible? Tiger poison does not eat the son, and vice versa, that is, the son does not eat the father! There must be something strange about this matter - the second village master might as well invite us into the village, and today he will definitely give Shajiazhai an explanation! Zhou Yu looked at the soldiers who gradually surrounded him, he laughed and clapped his hands, so that everyone present was full of doubts What kind of medicine is sold in Zhou Yu's gourd?
"Who are you? Shamaha is your subordinate? Why dare you be so bold? Sha Ren saw that Zhou Yu was so presumptuous, and couldn't help but scold loudly.
I saw that Dian Wei didn't say a word, grabbed a soldier next to him and threw it at Sha Ren like a stone, Sha Ren was in no hurry to dodge and was smashed to the ground, before Sha Ren could react, Dian Wei had already stepped forward and stepped on Sha Ren's chest, he opened his mouth and asked: "You try to be disrespectful to my son-in-law again, Lao Tzu stepped down and broke your neck!" ”
