Chapter 203: Hades Parade Street
The whole book .,The fastest update of the latest chapter of the Dark Witch Secrets!
The three days in the secret room are like years, we can't go anywhere, we can only wander around the square inch, the best way to pass the time is to listen to Erlong tell the story of the eight generals. Erlong has not joined the Eight Generals for a long time, only a few years, but these years are the extraordinary period when the talents of the Eight Generals have withered and fluctuated the most. Listening to their stories, the dead and wounded people in it are really sighing.
Erlong sighed and said: "Why do I insist so much on finding the master, in fact, the safety of the master does not need to worry about my apprentice, his thoughts and pattern are by no means understandable to me, the main reason why we want to find the master to solve the bell is that we want to revive the power of the eight generals!" Reassemble the team! β
My sister hurriedly said, "Brother Erlong, what do you think of my brother, are you qualified to join?" β
Erlong smiled: "Your brother is a talent, and he will inevitably become a great weapon in the future, but whether he can enter the eight families depends on the fate, and there are still tests among them, these are all later words, only by finding the master, can the whole process be started." β
He sighed, "Master, Master, where are you now?" β
In the evening of the third day, Zhang Wentao came down with a big schoolbag and asked, "Have you all rested?" β
We looked at each other and nodded.
Zhang Wentao took out three masks from his schoolbag, all of which were ghostly and extremely beneficial. My sister was short of breath when she saw it.
He handed over the three masks: "The parade has begun, march here immediately, you put on grimaces and follow me, remember not to go wrong, I will send you into the procession around the border." β
My sister took a red grimace and was about to put it on her head, I pressed her, thought about it and said, "Sisi, I'll go with your brother Erlong, don't you go!" Just stay here. β
My sister was shocked and asked loudly, "Why?" β
My throat rattled: "It's too dangerous, I have an extremely bad feeling, Sisi, don't go, otherwise you will be in danger at that time, and you and Brother Erlong will be busy with you, and you won't be able to do anything serious." β
I thought my sister would retort and yell at me, but she lowered her head and thought about it, and said calmly, "Okay, I'm not going." β
I was overjoyed and touched her hair: "That's good." β
My sister broke away from me, sat on the side, and said with a choked breath: "I'm not going, can't I do it yet?!" β
Erlong looked at me, and I said with a big grin: "Don't care about her, she is used to being at home, and she has a child's temper." Brother Zhang, let's see how you get it in a while. β
Zhang Wentao looked at his watch: "In about fifteen minutes, the procession around the border will go to the street market next to it, and the crowd will follow, you two put on masks, and follow me now." β
Erlong and I picked two ghost faces to wear on our faces, one blue and one black, I took out my mobile phone and took a selfie to take a picture of myself, which was quite terrifying.
I have to say that this ghost mask is so expressive, whoever wears it has a feeling of coming out of hell, full of ghosts.
Zhang Wentao looked at us: "No, you put on this gown." He took out two bright red coats from his schoolbag, and I put Erlong and I on them, and Erlong danced a few times, and the room was suddenly gloomy.
The more I looked at it, the more panicked I became, and hurriedly said, "Brother Erlong, don't make trouble, let's go quickly." β
My sister sat there holding her breath and said, "You're all gone, and I'm the only one left." β
Zhang Wentao said: "Girl, when I send them out, I have to come back, you stay here, wait for tomorrow I will see an opportunity to send you out first, you go home quickly." β
The younger sister played with the red grimace in her hand, lowered her head and did not speak.
Zhang Wentao took Erlong and I up the stairs of the secret room, and when we got outside, there was a cold wind swirling in the corridor of the abandoned building. It's been three days, and I haven't been exposed to the natural wind outside, and I'm comfortable for a while.
The three of us came out of the building, and faintly heard the sound of gongs and drums in the distance, as well as human voices. At this time, the moon is clear and the wind is clear, the sky is quiet, and listening to these distant sounds suddenly, there is a feeling of floating and ethereal.
We climbed out of the courtyard wall and followed Zhang Wentao on the path, walking out of the small alley between the two buildings, the noisy sound outside was getting closer and closer, and the lights outside the alley were bright. Zhang Wentao took a deep breath: "Two, get ready, this is coming." β
My heart was pounding with nervousness.
The three of us came to the entrance of the alley, and as soon as we arrived here, we saw that it was very lively, and it was like entering another world in a trance. The whole pedestrian street is full of people, standing on both sides of the road crowded next to each other, everyone is talking and laughing, men, women and children, all of them are ordinary people. Although everyone was crowded, they were in order with each other and watched the bustle in the middle of the street together.
The shops along the road are open, lanterns are hung at the doors, and steaming snacks are filled with strong incense and black smoke in the air.
At this time, a procession came from the far side of the street, and everyone rushed forward to see the excitement, wanting to feast their eyes. Zhang Wentao opened the way in front: "Ladies and gentlemen, let go, the ghost pawn must return to the team!" β
When the people around saw me and Erlong dressing up, they all got out of the way, and just like that, we also had a lot of effort to squeeze to the front, and then the street parade arrived. This is a group of people dressed as ordinary people, tall and short, men, women and children, and unlike the onlookers on the street, these ordinary people who parade on the street each wear a papier-mΓ’chΓ© shackle around their necks.
The shackle is a kind of torture instrument in ancient times, made of wooden planks, divided into two templates on the left and right, there is a hollow hole in the middle of the plank, and there is also a hole in the front, which is set on the neck and hands. There is an idiom called a flail with a lock. This kind of torture instrument is generally used to detain prisoners whose criminal responsibility is not too heavy, and can be exiled in the streets, where is the lack of morality in this torture instrument, not to mention the loss of freedom, after wearing it, you can't sit, you can't stand, you can't lie down, you can't lie down, it's not comfortable in any posture, and ordinary people can be honest when you wear it for two or three days.
Each of these ordinary people on the street wore such a papier-mΓ’chΓ© shackle, and there were at least two or three hundred people along the way.
"What's going on?" I asked Zhang Wentao.
"These are ordinary people who spontaneously come to parade through the streets with their crimes," Zhang Wentao said loudly amid the sound of gongs and drums. 'Ramming' is to carry, and 'shackles' are naturally shackles. It represents the sinner's sincerity to the king of Hades that he is guilty and confesses to the gods of hell. β
Erlong and I looked at each other, we were both wearing ghost masks, but we could see the consternation in our eyes.
The first time I heard of such an event, ordinary people spontaneously paraded through the streets wearing shackles to show their sincere repentance and confession. Although this activity is full of ghosts and demons, it cannot be said that it has no effect on educating the people at all.
After Zhang Wentao spoke, the old moral system collapsed, the new moral system has not yet been established, and there is a vacuum.
When these hundreds of people walked over, the people who watched the excitement shouted: "The civil and military judge is here!" β
I only heard the sound of drums, and in the distance there were two huge golden umbrellas with cranks, carried by several people. Under each umbrella, there is a tall and mighty judge. Both judges are played by people, each of whom is more than two meters tall and dances as they walk, with an amazing momentum. The military judge's face is like a heavy jujube, with a golden helmet and golden armor, a few strands of long black hair, angry eyes, and a sword dancing in his hand. The clerk was kind-eyed, holding a huge ancient booklet with three large characters written in black pen on it, "Book of Life and Death".
As soon as these two judges appeared, the atmosphere of the scene was ignited, and all the ordinary people were shouting: "Hades! Hades! β
Behind the three drums, the sky exploded with fireworks, and after the civil and military judges, there were sixteen strong men carrying a golden luan and came slowly, majestic, tall and big. On this big sedan chair, there is a person who is nearly three meters tall, with a python robe and jade belt, and his face is like a crown of jade, which is really extraordinary.
As soon as he appeared, the people along the street knelt down one after another, and that posture really caught up with the ancient emperor to go out on patrol.
Zhang Wentao shouted loudly: "That's the Hades King!" β
Erlong lowered his voice: "How can this Hades King make up with thin eyebrows and fine eyes, he looks like a small family, he doesn't look like a native of the Central Plains, but like a race from Southeast Asia." β
Zhang Wentao glanced at him and quickly covered his mouth: "Can you be more careful when you speak, and wantonly comment on the Hades King in this place, do you still want to live?!" β
Erlong shook his head and said nothing.
The Hades King of Sixteen drove all the way over, and the people along the way knelt all the way, kowtowing desperately, and could see that they were extremely pious, and when they came to us, Zhang Wentao hurriedly said: "Kneel!" All kneel! Let sleeping dogs lie! β
Erlong knelt down with a puff, without hesitation, I thought that a master like him could cherish his face, but I didn't expect to be so at ease with the situation, and kneel for the sake of the overall situation, without ambiguity at all.
He knelt down, so don't be stunned, and kneel down quickly. We lowered our bodies for fear of being seen by Hades.
At this time, with the sound of the horn, the Luan of the Hades King arrived, kneeling on the ground and no one dared to look up.
The ground was suddenly covered by a large black shadow, which was hidden by the large palanquin, and everyone trembled in the shadow, walking on thin ice.
The ears are filled with strange music from Guri, with gongs, drums, horns, and indescribable musical instruments, which are mixed together, and people's brains are about to explode.
