Chapter 261: A Hundred Ghosts Gather
I don't know how long it took to walk, but the sacrificial procession not far in front of me seemed to have arrived at the place and finally stopped??? ?ยท With the night and the bright moon, I could see roughly where the sacrificial procession was.
As far as the eye can see, there is a large mountain range not far ahead, and according to my previous observation of the terrain, it should probably belong to the highest place in this area; It's just that the mountain seems to have been cut in half by something, and a cliff twenty or thirty meters high has formed in front of us. Under the cliff is an open space about the size of half a football field, and I don't know where the original half of the mountain ridge has gone?
But at this time, these are not all of my concern, because what attracts my attention even more is that in the middle of the cliff, there is a huge hole, and I don't know how deep the black one is? According to my guess, it should be very likely that this is the place where the old ancestor in Anu's mouth is located......
Directly in front of the entrance to the cave, Anu's sister Amu had been tied to a pillar more than one person tall by the villagers, but it was not exactly the same as the pillar I saw, because there seemed to be a black brazier on top of the pillar tied to Amu. And the same pillars, there are six more on either side of the opening, although I don't know what such a layout means? But the atmosphere in front of me was very unusual......
Because it is not very close, we can't see the expression of Amu who is tied to the pillar at this moment; But Anu, who had been with us, was anxious after seeing her sister tied to a pillar, and wanted to rush over while we weren't paying attention, but fortunately, Hu Yifei quickly grabbed him to save us from being exposed.
At the same time that Amu was tied up, the originally bustling villagers also stood in two rows on both sides of the cave as if they had a division of labor; It happened to be connected with the six pillars on both sides to form a line, and only the four old men in the village were left in the huge open space, standing in front of and behind Amu as if they were standing guards; And, of course, the hunched village chief...... I don't see what he looks like.
Everything seemed to be ready, and the hunched village chief took out a bell out of nowhere, and then danced around the pillar in front of the cave with Amu tied, and seemed to be muttering something while dancing. "Jingle bell...... The sound of jingle bells ......" bells was heard for a while.
"This old liar, he looks like a toad like that! Can you fool the villagers just like that? Lin Zi stupidly pointed to the jumping village chief and said to us. In his opinion, the village chief in front of him was not even as good as the old aunt who danced the big god in the village before, how could he deceive everyone in the village by ghostly and ask them to obediently hand over their family members to sacrifice to the so-called old ancestor?
"Not necessarily, don't talk yet, let's see!"
Although on the surface, what Lin Zi said is not wrong, but in my opinion, it is different; Because just as the village chief was shaking the bell, I was keenly aware that the yin qi around me seemed to be slowly gathering in front of the cave. And it seems that it is not the village chief himself who controls all this, but the bell he holds in his hand!
Although Lin Zi was curious about why I said this, he didn't ask much, just stared intently at the village chief who was bouncing not far away, wanting to see why I said that?
As time passed, the yin energy in this place began to get heavier and heavier; But it wasn't just that, I felt that the ghosts within a few kilometers of me seemed to be attracted to something, and they were also converging in this direction.
"It seems that this village chief is not simple at all, everyone be careful!"
In order to protect Lin Zi from these yin qi and yin spirits, I hurriedly took out a few anti-ghost talismans from my backpack and let them carry them on my body; Although Anu didn't know what this anti-ghost charm was for, he listened to me and put it in his jacket pocket. At the same time, in order to let the forest see what was about to happen, in addition to Anu, I opened the eyes of heaven for them one by one.
"I'll go, Brother Tian, what the hell is going on?"
Lin Zi, who opened the eyes of heaven, saw the yin spirits surging around him one after another, and was suddenly surprised, and hurriedly asked me; Even Hu Yifei and Gao Jing were the same, with a look of disbelief on their faces.
"Do you see the bell in the village chief's hand? I think it's all the hell! โ
Although I didn't know exactly what was going on in front of me, I still told Lin Zi and them what I was aware of.
"Big brother and big sister, Anu doesn't want to be separated from her sister!"
Anu also seemed to hear a hint of something unusual from our conversation, and looked at us with teary eyes.
"Don't worry, your brother Zhang Tian will definitely rescue your sister!"
Gao Jing seemed to take special care of this poor child, gently touched his little head, looked at me without blinking, and then comforted Anu. It's just that this comfort is comfort, and she just brought my name, combined with her eyes that made me feel all over, and suddenly made me feel that it was really impossible to stay out of the matter in front of me.
"Don't worry! With me, nothing will happen to your sister! โ
I smiled lightly at Gao Jing, and as soon as my mind was hot, I assured Anu. Lin Zi and Hu Yifei naturally saw that although I was comforting Anu, I was actually echoing Gao Jing; Suddenly, there was an indescribable smile on my face, which made me blush rarely, but fortunately I couldn't see it when it was dark now, otherwise it would be really embarrassing.
At the sound of the village chief's bell, it didn't take long for more than a hundred and a dozen ghosts to gather in the clearing, including men, women, and children; Like the villagers standing on either side, they seemed to have been arranged for a long time, and they did not stop when they arrived at the clearing, but divided into seven waves and walked towards the seven pillars. And what surprised me even more was that they didn't stop when they came to the pillar, but crashed straight into it, as if there was another world inside the pillar?
At this time, the village chief, who was originally bouncing around, finally stopped circling around the pillar in front of the cave, but walked straight to the front of the cave, and then knelt down towards the cave and kept kowtowing, and while kowtowing, his mouth was still muttering something that we didn't understand.
With a "boom", the brazier placed on top of the seven pillars suddenly burst into flames, bursting out with blue flames in an instant; At the same time, the villagers who were standing on both sides also seemed to have seen something amazing, and hurriedly followed the footsteps of the village chief and knelt down on the spot, kowtowing reverently.
