Today is the Snake King Festival, which can be described as Tu Xiao'an's own festival, although the statue of the Snake King at the front of the long snake-shaped procession has not yet been unveiled, but it is carved according to his current snake form.

When the statue of the snake king enters the main hall of the temple, the power of his faith will be endless, rolling like the water of the Yellow River.

The influence of the Snake King has reached its peak in White Town, and the hundreds of thousands of teams on the streets follow the Snake King out on patrol, which already explains everything, the scale is huge and unprecedented.

But they didn't know that the real snake king was in this sea of people, following them and celebrating the snake king's day together.

Three hours later, at about 13 o'clock in the afternoon, the snake king went out to the temple.

At this moment, countless people looked at the statue of the snake king covered with red cloth with excitement, and they couldn't wait to see the statue of the snake king.

According to reliable sources, this time the statue of the snake king is not in human form, but in the appearance of the snake king himself.

And I heard that it was made by the snake king's majesty.

Seeing this statue of the snake king is equivalent to seeing the snake king.

I don't know where this gossip came out, but the credibility is very high, and everyone is looking forward to it.

The statue of the snake king stands in front of the temple, the ceremony is about to begin, the snake king temple is the center point, the water that has been surrounded for a long time is impassable, it is very lively and crowded, it is full, as long as it can stand on the ground, it will never be empty.

On the floors, on the big locust trees, even on the telephone poles, you can see the shadows of people.

In the sky above the Snake King Temple, dozens of drones are suspended in the air to shoot, and people will not let go of any detail.

The atmosphere of the people of Baizhen was high, like a blazing flame burning towards the sky, and the shouts and shouts were endless.

They are all looking forward to the official start of the Snake King ceremony, the true face of the Snake King.

Tu Xiaoan quietly hid in the crowd, his face couldn't help but show a wry smile, there were too many people, he felt that his false human form was about to be crowded.

This crowd is crowded, and everyone wants to stand in the front row, because it is obvious that only the front row can see it most clearly.

"Boom...."

Suddenly, at this time, in the bell tower of the temple, a loud bell sounded, the bell was simple, solemn, and long and shocking, ringing in the hearts of thousands of people.

Suddenly, everyone unconsciously held their breath and stared at the direction of the bell, and the scene, which was still in full swing, suddenly fell silent, and the whole space became extremely silent.

Everyone looked up with solemn faces, and they knew that the ceremony of the statue of the Serpent King was about to begin.

At this time, in the temple, a white-haired old man with a full head, holding a snake staff, walked out slowly with a staggered step.

A weathered old face attracted everyone's eyes, and everyone was in awe.

Li Defeng, he is the most respected old man in Baizhen, with a noble status and a living fossil level.

The ceremony of the statue of the snake king is about to begin, and who will uncover the big red cloth on the statue of the snake king, which is also very particular.

You can't just find a random person, this person must be respected, senior, and convincing everyone.

Li Defeng is such an old man, no one in Baizhen is convinced, the level of snake catching has long been at the palace level, his apprentices are not only all over Baizhen, it can be said that they are all over the world, when they were young, they were the best snake catchers in Baizhen, the snake king among people, and when they are old, they will teach their snake catching skills one by one.

The most respectable thing is that the old man taught not only how to catch snakes, but also an attitude and cultural knowledge towards snakes.

The old man is a real reverence for snakes, worship snakes, will not treat snakes as animals, as a tool to make money, he is like most traditional craftsmen, content with poverty, although there is a skill in hand, but never show off, silently has carried forward the inheritance of culture as its own responsibility.

Snake catcher is a profession, snake catching is a skill, and it is also a cultural treasure and wisdom crystallization handed down from ancestors.

One of the things he said the most was that you can catch snakes, but you can't kill snakes wantonly, because you have made snakes for a living, so you naturally have to respect and love them.

It's like a phrase that is often put on the lips, life will love you only if you love life.

You wantonly kill the snake, in exchange for not wealth, but the snake's bloody disaster.

Obviously, Li Defeng is now the most palace-level snake catcher in Baizhen, and the statue of the snake king is most suitable for his old man to unveil it.

At the beginning of the difficulty of Sheshan, it was everyone who invited Li Defeng, and he went to the Snake King Temple to invite the Snake King to be born, and to subdue demons and eliminate demons.

The bell rang, the old man appeared, and the scene was silent, not daring to make a mistake.

Although the old man Li Defeng is old and his glasses are sunken, his eyes are still deep and bright, and he looks very energetic.

He walked up to the statue covered with a big red cloth, and the man in the Taoist robe on one side hurriedly offered him three pillars of lit incense, and then obediently stepped aside.

At this time, the people standing in the front row were all people with status and status, and they had long been waiting with incense, looking at the old man respectfully.

Li Defeng held three pillars of incense, first bowed deeply to the statue of the snake king, and then prepared to kneel down and kowtow first.

But strange things happened again, and the old man's knees couldn't bend down.

A handsome man in the crowd had panic and helplessness on his face: "My master, don't continue to kneel, the kid can't afford it."

It is normal for everyone to kneel on this Snake King Festival, but this year's Snake King Festival is different, Tu Xiaoan has become the Snake King, and the statue uses his appearance.

Other people, Tu Xiaoan can ignore it, but what a character Li Defeng is, how can Tu Xiaoan let him kneel in front of his statue.

Li Defeng couldn't kneel down for a long time, and many people saw that he was tired, presumably the Snake King couldn't bear to let him kneel.

"Old man, don't kneel, the Snake King is sympathetic to your old age and doesn't let you make a big salute"

Li Shun, the man in the Taoist robe, hurriedly stepped forward and said.

Li Defeng could feel the invisible power, and knew it in his heart, but he still insisted on bowing to the statue three times, looking at everyone, Lang Lang shouted: "I Baizhen, since ancient times, has been blessed by the Snake King, the wind and rain are smooth, the people are healthy, the snake king was born in ancient times, and the cholera was eliminated, and now the snake king is born, and the demon is subdued, and the snake king is blessed, which is my Baizhen great blessing."

After the old man finished speaking, the man in the Taoist robe raised his hand and shouted: "Kneel"

In an instant, the defeat was like a mountain, dense, and the crowds of people all knelt down, and the scene was extremely macroscopic, which was very shocking.

One by one, they knelt down, only one young man was still standing, and suddenly countless eyes swept together, and the young man quickly knelt down in fright.

"Hey, what's going on, I still have to kneel in front of my own statue"

Tu Xiaoan smiled bitterly and teased himself.
