Chapter Ninety-Three: The Ritual

This kind of vibration is so obvious, so obvious that it is not at all comparable to the kind of vibration that comes from the stone tablet!

If I had to describe it, it would be the rhythm of the whole mountain, like rushing out of this land!

My eyes widened in horror at once, and in the next moment, I rolled over and jumped up from the ground almost without thinking, and the edge of the cliff, the bitter mountain wind, made my body unsteady on my feet, and I almost fell off the mountain.

It was Brother Zhengchuan who grabbed me, he was a little angry, and yelled at me: "Third brother, this is on the edge of the mountain, what are you doing so excited?" ”

I was pulled back by Brother Zhengchuan, staggered forward two steps, but suddenly turned back, pulled Brother Zhengchuan and walked down the mountain over there, I said: "This time it is really alive, go down the mountain, let's go down the mountain"

I used so much force that Brother Zhengchuan was pulled by me two steps, but he grabbed me again and said to me: "No matter what comes back to life, it's too late for us to go down the mountain now." If it's really dangerous, it's going to be a ghost who understands, look over there."

As soon as I turned my head, I saw the brightly lit 'pig farm', and at this moment the big porcelain bowl containing twelve pig hearts was placed in the middle of the courtyard, and the whole village walked to the porcelain bowl one by one, showing their knives one by one!

I paused for a moment to breathe, as if I saw an ancient ritual in a blur, but I couldn't tell the difference!

I seem to know what they're doing? What is the purpose? When I think about it carefully, I don't know anything I have lived for more than ten years, and I have never been in such a trance

The next moment, when I came to my senses, I saw that the first villager had already slashed his wrist with a knife, and bright red blood was dripping from his wrist above into the bowl.

The villager stood numbly, too far away, I couldn't see his expression clearly, but I just watched him put a certain amount of blood and then retreated like this holding his wrist, from the other side, a villager came and wiped a handful of things that I don't know if it was a herb on his wrist, and bandaged it with great skill.

Then, the next villager

"The third child!" Brother Masakawa put his hand on my shoulder and said, "I don't know why you said it was going to come back to life, but I believe you." ”

"You believe me?" I looked at Brother Zhengchuan with wide eyes and said, "It's not a question of whether you believe me or not, but it's so obvious, the whole mountain is shaking, can't you feel it?" ”

"Mountain, shook?" Brother Zhengchuan looked surprised.

"It's just a shock, the same as the vibration on the stone tablet, but so much stronger? You can't feel it? "I feel a thirst in my throat, why is this something only I can feel? Hasn't Brother Zhengchuan always had excellent spiritual sense?

Brother Masakawa looked at me with a strange look that I had never seen before, as if it was not his junior brother standing in front of him, but another person, who was trying to adapt.

But after all, he still restored the intimacy between the brothers and sisters, but the next moment he shook his head with a wry smile, which already showed his attitude!

Brother Masakawa really can't feel it?!

I have a feeling of discouragement and anger, is this God playing with me? Almost as if angry, he said, "In that case, what do you still believe me do?" ”

Brother Masakawa put his hands on my shoulders and said solemnly, "Maybe after a long time, you will think that it is for other reasons." But now, I just want to say, no matter who you are, as long as you are my junior brother, you say a word, and I will trust you to the end. The entire mountain gate, in addition to Master, is me and you, and for you, there may be relatives and friends! But for me, you, Master, are almost half of my life. ”

I hate this kind of lyricism, because I can't express my feelings, so in the face of this kind of lyricism, I myself will get goosebumps first, not that I am not moved, but I don't know how to respond.

While speaking, Brother Zhengchuan turned his head, patted me lightly on the shoulder, and said, "Third child, I am destined to be inferior to you in many places!" But, I also expect you to give me the same trust, I say I believe what you say, it is going to come back to life, but definitely not now. ”

"Huh?" I just hummed softly, but I didn't want to go anymore, I didn't say much, but between actions, I had completely given my trust to Brother Zhengchuan, although this place repeatedly made me uneasy.

Naturally, Masakawa also sensed my attitude, and his eyes showed emotion, and he said, "I feel that I am in danger here, and that is because there is danger hidden here." But I don't feel the danger breaking out now! So, I have to figure out the secrets of this village tonight, and see what they're going to do, that's why, just by spiritual sense. ”

"Brother Zhengchuan, you are not inferior to me." I didn't make any comments, just lightly refuted the rebuttal.

In my heart, Brother Zhengchuan is almost perfect, good-looking, likable character, dexterous craftsmanship (what to do, including cooking can be done very well), outstanding talent (the master's spiritual sense), and hard patience Even reading a book in Wangxian Village is also outstanding In contrast, I am a guy who only knows how to seize a qiē time to play crazy, and has no heart and lungs, where can I compare with Brother Zhengchuan.

He even said that he was like me, I didn't admit it, and in my heart I instinctively wanted to defend my master and brother.

Brother Zhengchuan heard what I said, just smiled lightly, tightened the hand on my shoulder, and then whispered: "Silly boy, you will know later." "Say no more!

And I have an indescribable discomfort in my heart, I always feel that Brother Zhengchuan has a little distance from me at this moment, is he aware of something? I don't understand, I always feel that the cold of the mountain wind can't compare to the cold in my heart.

I wanted to express my attitude, but I didn't know what to say, so I just leaned closer to Brother Zhengchuan: "Brother Zhengchuan, in short, you are my senior brother and my brother, I will not change." ”

"Silly boy, who will change?" After speaking, his eyes were firmly fixed on the bottom of the mountain, and he whispered: "Maybe it's me, I'm too eager to prove myself." ”

Maybe there's nothing wrong with proving yourself, right? I thought so, but I followed Brother Zhengchuan's gaze and looked down the mountain, at this moment, the people in this village were still bleeding themselves, and the whole process was as orderly as at the beginning, but it was strangely silent.

It seems that they are not bleeding themselves, but a group of prisoners, who are silently queuing up to receive their own food, and there is a deep, impenetrable sense of despair in the numbness.

If you don't become numb to this kind of thing, then you can't think about it, and the scene is a little terrifying.

The adults in the whole village were more than a hundred, and each person did not have much blood, but after so many people came down, even the person in charge of bandaging did not miss that the big porcelain bowl was finally filled.

I stood far away and couldn't look closely, but I could see a bloody bowl in the light.

I don't want to look closer, I guess human blood is running fresh pig heart, this picture is not very pleasant At this time, the old man who was the first to sacrifice stepped forward again, as if he was holding a jar or something like that in his arms.

After completing the whole process of bloodletting, he opened the contents of his arms and sprinkled a little bit of blood on that night.

I couldn't tell what he was doing, but I'm sure he spilled something. Because at that moment, I clearly saw that the bowl of blood lit up, as if it had been sprinkled with a layer of phosphor, but it was only for a moment.

What is that? I was moved and glanced at Brother Zhengchuan, but he didn't have any reaction! I didn't dare to speak, because my two expressions were 'abnormal', Brother Zhengchuan seemed to have some inexplicable feelings in it, I can only comfort myself, Brother Zhengchuan also saw it, but I was not so surprised!

The ritual at the foot of the mountain was almost over, for I saw 12 women appear, holding a strange easy in their hands, and began to carefully divide the blood and pig hearts in the bowls.

Then the old man lifted the jar he had held in his hand before, and the rest of the people knelt down!

I don't know if it's numbness or piousness, Brother Masakawa muttered, "And then? What are they going to do? Is this the end of it? ”

In fact, I felt a little sad in my heart, and suddenly remembered the poverty of this village, in this era, I am afraid that not every family has such a thing as electric lights, but the place of 'pig farm' is brightly lit.

Raising so many pigs, not to kill and eat, or to sell, to improve life, but to carry out such a strange ritual I remember, the people in the village are busy, almost cutting pigweed everywhere, thinking of their numb appearance, my heart hurts in sadness!

Yes, as soon as I came to this village, I thought that they were ragged like beggars, and at this time, I found out the reason why they were more like beggars, that is, their faces were yellow and thin.

Even so, do you still have to bleed? Did they do it voluntarily, or did they force it? And if forced? Who will save? Is this also the reason why Brother Zhengchuan is persistent?

In the wind, I sighed, but saw the twelve women who had finished the bowl of blood, holding the strange container in their arms, and first walked out of the 'pig farm', and then the villagers followed!

Like a straight line, out of the pig farm straight line? I suddenly remembered the straight line between the pig farm and the top of the hill on the edge of the cliff, and my heart was shocked.

And Brother Zhengchuan's face also became ugly, and he whispered, "I'm afraid they're going to come up, right?" ”
