This old man should be the legendary witch, a male wizard who pretends to be a ghost, but unfortunately he was born in the ravine, otherwise he would have been beaten to death with a stick, I don't know why I hate this witch so much, and even what he said sounded to me, I felt yin and yang, and even disgusting.

Obviously, the big mouth and Gu Yi also feel the same way, at this time, the big mouth has already used the strength in his hand, and the fist is rattling. I was afraid that Big Mouth would impulsively do something discordant, so I quickly patted him on him, as if I were comforting a child.

It's not that I don't save people when I see death, but it also depends on the situation, in the face of a group of stupid mountain people, I don't dare to imagine what the consequences will be once we leak out, and under the anger of the public, how can we live.

Now I can only pray silently, hoping that Xiao Ting's parents can be reincarnated in a good place in the next life, as for Xiao Ting herself, I will have no idea for a while, maybe there will be arrangements in the dark.

The ritual had already begun, and although we hid behind the rocks and couldn't see it, we could tell the difference by listening to the noise outside. Not only Xiao Ting's parents, but also other people were pushed over one after another, some of them were gagged, they could only scream, and some simply scolded, what is ugly and scolded, up to the eighteenth generation of lords, the children who have not yet been born, who have not given birth to sons, and who can't marry their daughters. As a rough estimate, there are no less than ten sacrifices today.

At this time, I only heard the witch speak again: "The time has come, I and other villagers have washed their souls, willing to accept the punishment of the river god grandfather, willing to sacrifice for the river god grandfather, this time the sacrificer, nine men, born in Bingyin Yue, nine women Yi Chou Yue, they were born in the sky, docking the way of the pole yin and yang, originally accepted the dispatch of the river god grandfather"

After the witch yin and yang weird tune, is the next step to throw a living person into the pot?

At this moment, my heart is about to jump out, I have seen life and death, but I have never seen how stupid death is, I am really unwilling for them, but it's a pity that those eighteen living lives, fuck.

The three of us held our breath, let's die, it's not related, but I don't know how Xiao Ting will live alone in the future, Dazui and Gu Yi are standing on my left and right, I am afraid that they will make a noise, so I can't help patting the shoulders of the two with my hands, at this time Gu Yi dragged my arm and rubbed it on her face, at first I didn't know what she was going to do, and then I felt cold on my arm, and my feelings were to use me as a handkerchief, this girl.

The sacrificial ritual continued over there, and I heard the shaman shouting, "Five grains to the sky"

After the witch had finished speaking, someone threw something into the pot, as if it was a pocket or something, it must be five kinds of miscellaneous grains: hemp, millet, millet, wheat, and soybean. The pockets smashed against the skeleton under the basin and made a cracking sound, and at the same time, the periphery of the basin was already lit up by lamp balls and torches, illuminating the entire cave, and I finally couldn't help but be curious, and secretly raised my head to look out.

It is estimated that half of the villagers in Mayi Village are here, and there are hundreds of people in the black pressure, all of whom are soaked in the water at this time, silently watching every move of the witch, and I also deliberately looked for Xiao Ting, but because there are too many people, it should have been submerged a long time ago, and even now it is gagged.

"Open the dragon lock!" The witch continued to shout.

"Wait a minute." As soon as the witch's words fell, he saw an old man with a wooden stick walking out of the crowd, his gray beard had been rolled into felt, and the old man walked up to the wizard and said, "Lord Witch, the little old man has something unclear, and I would like to ask Lord Witch to solve his doubts." ”

"Huh?" The moment the witch turned around, the old face was very long, I guess this witch has never dared to question him, he is used to calling the wind and rain, and now he is called to stop by the old man, obviously unhappy, but now there are too many people to attack, maybe he is putting on a stinky shelf.

"What's the confusion? Say it."

"Well, since Lord Wu has promised, the little second child will have the courage to say a few words, I feel that the movement in the lock dragon well this year is much bigger than in previous years, dare to ask if it is appropriate to open the dragon lock now?"

The old man simply lost his confidence when he said the end, maybe in the eyes of others, this is a blasphemy against the gods, of course, between his own life and death, the gods may also stand behind, so after the old man finished speaking, the crowd was also a little bold, shouting: "Yes, Grandpa River God won't leave us all behind, right?" ”

Wu Ji suddenly sneered: "Definitely, the old man has already spoken to Grandpa the River God, and the old man is very satisfied with this year's sacrificer, so you don't have to worry about anything, you just wait for the next year's wind and rain, haha"

"Dragon's Groan? Open the dragon lock? Lock the dragon well? ”

Could it be that the river god grandpa they are talking about will be a dragon? Dragons are just legends, but anyone with a little common sense knows that dragons are beautified by the ancients, going to heaven and earth, calling for wind and rain and omnipotent, if there is a dragon, it can only be dinosaurs, crocodiles and the like.

Although there are many legends about dragons all over the country, and even some people can say the appearance of the dragon in a colorful way, there are several places in the lock dragon well, such as Yuwang lock Jiaojing, Shunjing in Jinan City, lock dragon pillar in Suolong Village, Wushan County, Chongqing, Beixinqiao in Beijing, Lock Dragon Well in Tanzhe Temple, that is also something that cannot be verified, plus people's word of mouth, it is invisibly exaggerated, to say that there is a dragon, I don't believe it.

I don't know when Dazui and Gu Yi also came out, quietly staring outside, their expressions were very nervous. To be honest, it's the first time I've seen such an occasion, and everyone has curiosity, especially when they hear about the lock dragon well.

At this time, the strange roar in the cave became louder and louder, but I didn't know where the dragon was locked, I couldn't take my eyes off the two people who walked out next to the witch, one of them held a key more than half a foot long in his hand, and walked quickly to the back of the basin, about a dozen steps before stopping, followed by a click.

As the dragon lock was opened, the crowd began to retreat, leaving only a few dozen people, holding the sacrificers with red cloth heads, standing on the edge of the high basin.

I felt that my palms were sweating, I don't know if I was nervous or scared, and then I looked at the big mouth's face was also very exciting, holding the sapper shovel in one hand, holding the big stone with the other hand, his eyes were dodging, and Gu Yi put his head in my arms, covering his ears with both hands, and the sweat on his forehead wet my clothes.

"Open the dragon gate!" With the shouting of the witch, the two people in charge of opening the dragon lock immediately bent down and made a very hard movement, clicking, like the sound of a stone being pushed away, just blocking our view from this position, although I can't see it, but I can hear it quite clearly, the sound of the strange roar is like a sound in my ears, and the sound of the big iron chain churning and colliding makes people's whole body tense.

I could feel Gu Yi's trembling body, drilling into my arms one by one, eager to get into my stomach, with a big mouth expressionless, looking at me, wanting to speak, I quickly covered his mouth, and secretly scolded this stupid pig.

The crowd began to retreat on a large scale again, this time directly back a few hundred meters before stopping, and the two people in charge of unlocking were no longer calm at this time, and ran back like crazy, looking back while running, and the witch and the people who escorted the sacrifice, they had long disappeared without a trace, where could they still be seen.

The strange roar is getting louder and louder, as if it came from underground, a bright sound, it is terrifying, and the sound of the chain colliding is hard in my head, I don't know how terrible this dragon is, anyway, this stand is big enough, and it is estimated that a timid person will pee his pants now.

Poof, suddenly a white air exhaled from the sky above Longjing, like the chimney jet on the locomotive when the train accelerated. I involuntarily touched the * on my leg, my heart suddenly seemed to be out of control, and now the only thought was to get out of this place quickly, even for a second I didn't want to stay longer.

The sacrificers also began to be in a mess, although their mouths were tightly gagged, and the dull roar was unbearable to listen to, and even a few people jumped down at the basin, five or six feet high, and it was estimated that it would become a meatloaf. Of course, there were a few people who jumped backwards, but their bodies were tied up and strong, and they were blindfolded, so they couldn't distinguish the direction at all, and they couldn't escape, so they could only jump around in the water like headless flies, like a group of living corpses.

Suddenly, a large black shadow emerged from under the water, stirring the water for a wave, and the three of us were pushed back and forth by the waves.

"Dragon!" I almost screamed out, there really is a dragon, it seems that I am still rare and strange, this world really can't be recognized according to common sense.

I said secretly: "Is this the legendary dragon, but it looks more like a python with horns, but no matter what, it must be a rare breed, and no one will doubt it if it is a dragon."

The first time I saw such a big animal, it was twice as big as the schistosoma I saw in the Holy Water River last time, I don't know how to describe this behemoth in front of me, the whole body was dark and shiny, and it was shining with fish scales, and its body was seven or eight feet long like a super python changing various postures, and its head was the size of an adult bull's head, especially the single horn on its head that bent forward, flashing with a cold white light.

Suddenly, the behemoth opened its fist-sized eyes, glowing with blood-red light, and looked greedily at the sacrificers who were jumping in the water, and my heart beat faster again, it seemed that this monster was about to go on a killing spree.
