He carefully recalled the accident reports he found, and found that most of them occurred from January to February of the solar calendar, but after changing to the lunar calendar according to the calendar of that year, he found that they were all in the lunar month.

After discovering that it was the wax moon, Niu Struggle's heart was greatly shaken.

"The Legend of Rites" has a saying: The waxer, the reception, the new handover, so the great sacrifice to repay the merit.

And the word wax can also be called hunting, and the field hunts birds and beasts to worship its ancestors.

The wax moon is the end of the year, and the common people prepare for the new year with various activities, which seems to be very festive. But the most important activity before the month of Lap is to worship ancestors at the end of the year, so the month of Wax is the month of sacrifice in the year, what the sacrifice is for, at least is to kill chickens and sheep, it can be said that it is the most murderous month of the year. The heavier the murderous aura, the goblin's favorite.

And this ancestor is not just an ancestor in the simple sense, all kinds of immortals, gods, devils and monsters are among them. A series of folk activities such as cleaning the house in the middle of the moon, inviting incense, sacrificing stoves, sealing, and Chinese New Year's Eve all originated from this.

Why do you want to perform sacrificial activities in the wax moon, not only because of the end of the year, but also for other reasons, just like in ancient times, it was always asked after the autumn, which was related to the five elements of yin and yang.

The wax moon is the ugly month with the dry branch discipline method, the ugly is the soil, the winter goes to spring, and the most important thing for the recovery of all things is water. Among the four elephants, the white tiger belongs to water.

But the attributes of the five elements in autumn are restrained by the white tiger, and the white tiger is the main killing, so the world is full of slaughter, and it is a good season for life to disappear, so it will be chosen after autumn. But the ugly moon is different, although it is a cold winter wax moon, but it has begun to give birth to life, aquatic wood, but wood has to have soil to take root. But the water and the soil are mutually restrained, and what to do with each other can only be alleviated through sacrifices.

Therefore, in the ugly moon, that is, the wax moon, among the twenty-eight constellations, the most dazzling is the third Suzhou of the White Tiger, the stomach house, and the star monarch is called the stomach pheasant. The stomach, Rong Ye, to put it bluntly, collect some "bribes" from the people, also called sacrifices, and then shelter the world.

The stomach pheasant is a goddess, the best temper, once it comes to the moon, the wind of sacrifice together, there will be a lot of people who are not godheaded, not qualified to enjoy the worship of heaven and earth, run out to steal the offerings of the people, and even worse, it will harm people's lives, and use blood to meet their own needs for cultivation.

Between heaven and earth, in addition to gods, demons and monsters, there are many spiritual creatures, who have no right to enjoy the offerings of the world, but they also have the right to live. You must know that sacrifice is the most cruel thing, and there are even living sacrifices, blood sacrifices and other terrifying-sounding activities, but why have they continued to exist for thousands of years? Because the essence of living beings is the best tonic for the gods, and the gods enjoy it, how can it be possible to completely stop other spirit creatures from imitating it. Therefore, they sometimes allow some spirits to absorb the essence of humans and animals to improve their cultivation, even if they occasionally hurt people's lives, it depends on the situation.

The stomach pheasant is the most kind-hearted woman, and she is a spiritual cultivator, so she generally turns a blind eye to this kind of thing. God also knows the catty in this, but he doesn't pursue it, ants are life, people are life, and spiritual things are also life, so there must be a glimmer of life.

The beggar once told Niu Struggle many examples of spiritual creatures absorbing people's essence, most of which appeared when the stomach pheasant was the most dazzling, that is, in the wax moon. However, even if the stomach pheasant is in charge of the starry sky, other stars will occasionally come out to take turns. Spirit creatures are born with extraordinary perception of heaven and earth, and in order to avoid the interference of other star monarchs, they only commit crimes under the stomach and gods, which can be regarded as a tacit understanding.

Thinking about these clearly, Niu Zhan observed the stars for a while, combined the 28 constellations with the landform of Shangping Village in his mind, and soon found a piece of land that echoed with the stomach house. He gasped at the sight of the field. It turned out that although the area was not large, only about half an acre, it was just across the road from the accident site.

This can't be said to be a coincidence, Niu Zhan is sure that he definitely guessed right this time.

What is a spiritual object, a spiritual object is not a demon, it is the original form of the demon before he cultivated into an adult. For example, the fox demon, the spirit is a fox, if it is a cat demon, the spirit is a cat, if it is a shemale, the spirit is 。。。。。。 Their mana is not strong, and their impact on people is not too great, at most absorbing the essence of some people. But if people lack energy, they will be weak, especially in the geomorphological characteristics of Shangping Village, if people drive a car, they are mentally weak, and they are most likely to have accidents.

The truth has been analyzed a lot, but Niu Struggle is a little confused.

At this time, the sky was faintly bright, and he could see very clearly that the land was an ordinary cultivated land, because it was deep winter, there was not even a root grass in the field, it was all loess, and there was no smell of fart! Not to mention any spiritual creatures, there is not a single one with long legs.

If it was really a spiritual thing, it would definitely not run away at this moment. Because spiritual creatures absorb people's essence, unlike youkai, they can trick people into bed with beauty, or use some ecstasy to disturb people's minds, they don't have that much power. To put it bluntly, at best, they are some small animals that have a mind and know how to cultivate immortals or something. Moreover, when a person's essence is inhaled, it must be refined against the moonlight, and it is impossible to leave the place as if it is settled. The accident happened the day before yesterday, not to mention the dozen or so dead people, just the part of the essence that Guo Qingqing lost would take ten days and half a month to absorb.

If it was really a spiritual thing, it should definitely be in that land at this moment, and there would be no way to go. People who have lived in the mountains have experienced some things, so when they enter the mountains, sometimes they will find that some animals are stunned in place as if they have been pointed, and people do not run when they catch them, in fact, they are refining the essence of spiritual things, not that they don't want to run, they can't run, everything has to be gained and lost, and it is impossible to only take advantage of it without harm.

"Damn, even if you're a mouse, you're going to show your head so damn it" Niu Zhan thought to himself, he searched carefully in the field, and there was not a single mouse hole, let alone a mouse.

Only then did he make a difficulty, and thought: Beth's mother is a scorpion essence, a centipede essence, an ant essence, and a cockroach essence, where can I find it!

Although he thought so in his heart, he actually knew that it was impossible, of course ants and cockroaches could not become sperm, but scorpions and centipedes were possible, but on this day, he crawled on the ground and cultivated against the moonlight, and if he didn't become an immortal, he would have to freeze to death.

"Oh, you can't guess wrong again, right?"

Niu Zhan squatted on the ground in disappointment, his hair was almost scratched, and he smoked several cigarettes in a row, waiting until the sun rose, and he still had no clue. tossed all night, to say that it was not cold, it was a coaxing ghost, relying on good health and the strength in the heart. At this point, there is really no trick.

He stood up and reluctantly hit his motorcycle, secretly blaming himself for his incompetence. But no matter how much you scold yourself for not having the ability, you still can't solve the problem. It seems that I can only go back, admit defeat, bow my head, and ask Sour Laoxi.

Just as he was about to leave, he looked back at the land again, and in the increasingly dazzling sunlight, a bluestone came into view.

Just now he found a stone in the ground, but he didn't care, who didn't have a few stones in the field. But after seeing the color of the stone clearly at this time, Niu Zhan screamed secretly, careless, fortunately he took a second look, otherwise he would have missed it.
