Chapter 288: True and False City God
Inside the black sedan chair, I saw the face of an old man, the face was iron and blue, and the face was full of folds. However, what makes me feel most strange is that this face is narrow and long, although he is wearing an ancient official uniform, but even this has not been able to cover his sharp-beaked monkey cheeks.
How the hell can this be the City God?
I have seen the statues of the city god in the temple before, most of them are dignified, kind and kind-eyed, I have never seen this cockroach-eyed rat-like city god.
It seems that Ah Kun is right, this guy may be the existence of the high priest who exists in the vicinity or something, but he just thinks of himself as the city god.
The moment he opened the sedan curtain, he seemed to be a little surprised, his little round eyes stared at me, and he said something in his mouth, which I didn't understand.
I rushed to the sedan chair, went straight over and grabbed the old man by the neck, and pulled him out of the black sedan chair.
The old man didn't realize this at all, and Ah Kun stared at the masked people around him, none of whom dared to rush forward. Ah Kun and I carried this city god and kept running towards a side road. The masked people in the back didn't dare to chase after them, and the city god who was held up by me and Ah Kun kept shouting, and Ah Kun said directly to the old man: "Don't fucking nonsense, or screw your head off!" β
Sure enough, I thought that the old man might not understand Ah Kun's words, but I didn't expect him to understand, and he didn't dare to speak immediately.
It wasn't until we got to a deserted spot that the two of us stopped.
I stared at him and asked, "Who the hell are you?" β
The old man's eyes turned, and he immediately said with a smile: "Who are you two who dare to offend Lord Cheng Chenghuang, you are not afraid that this city god will be guilty of ......."
Syllable......
Before the old man could finish speaking, Ah Kun went up and slapped him, this slap was particularly hard, the old man's face turned purple, and he fell to the ground with his head.
I didn't expect Ah Kun to do this, he stared at the old man, and said coldly: "You know that we want to save people, we don't have time to talk nonsense with you, you are the city god and naturally have your way, if my friend has any three long and two short, I believe you will not live until tomorrow!" β
The old man swallowed his saliva, he looked at me again, and he said: "Two masters, you may have misunderstood, those three people broke into the Chenghuang Mansion and were caught, and they should be sacrificed to heaven, and they were hung on the altar, that is the will of God, and the will of God cannot be disobeyed......"
Syllable......
The sound was even more crisp, and as soon as the slap went down, a mouthful of blood spurted out of the old man's mouth. Not only was the corners of his mouth bleeding, but I could even see that tears had come down from the corners of his eyes.
"Sacrifice to the sky, I think you are an old goblin who wants to suck people's essence, right?" Ah Kun asked coldly.
The old man knelt directly on the ground this time, and the two slaps Ah Kun just now were enough for him, but he knelt down and continued: "Two masters, it's really not what you think, breaking into the City God's Mansion is a capital crime, it's not something I can control, and I ask the two masters to spare the little one." Betraying the capital crime and sacrificing to heaven is also their honor, and you as friends should be honored for them! β
I can't listen to these words anymore, it seems that this old guy really doesn't cry when he doesn't see the coffin, I directly pulled out the dagger from my waist, pressed it on the old man's neck, and said to him: "The two of us are going to kill you, the city god, what, do you want to sacrifice the two of us to the sky?" β
"Hero, hero, if you have something to say, don't move the knife! The two heroes may have misunderstood, it's not the City God you say, I'm just a substitute, the real City God should have gone to the altar! The old fellow rolled his eyes and said in a sly voice.
Ah Kun's face changed, are we falling for the city god's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain?
Just as I was stunned, I suddenly saw the old man's face turn fierce, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth, and biting at me. I dodged quickly, and suddenly a puff of yellow smoke came out of the way, and a weasel scurried out from under my feet.
Almost at the same time, I heard the sound of the dagger slicing through it, and the weasel didn't go far before it was pinned to the ground.
The weasel is still wearing the official uniform that has shrunk several times, and it seems that the city god in the black sedan chair is a yellow-skinned spirit, no wonder he looks like a cockroach eyebrow.
"Hurry up and save people!" Akun said.
I nodded, and the two of them quickly ran in the direction of the village. When I ran to the other side, I found that the black sedan chair had been thrown to the ground, the mask had fallen to the ground, and the person who had carried the sedan chair just now was gone. If you look closely, the black sedan chair is actually papier-mΓ’chΓ©, just like the kind of paper sedan chair that is burned to the dead.
The direction of the village is blazing, and that must be the place where the sacrificial ceremony is located.
Looking in that direction, I felt a little stunned, Ah Kun and I didn't dare to delay, and ran quickly in that direction. As we got closer, we began to hear the sound of gongs and drums beating in the village altar and the babbling of the masked men, as if they were chanting some incantations.
Ah Kun and I ran to the side of the sacrificial ground, changed into masks, and blended in with the crowd of masks.
Shen Yue, Sister Zhang and the little goblin were still tied to the sacred tree, and most of the sacrifices were burned by fire to announce to the heavens, and it is estimated that the three of them will be burned together with the divine tree in a while.
On the other side of the altar, the sound of gongs and drums was louder. They seemed to be greeting something, and sure enough, after a while, a huge black sedan chair was slowly lifted out of the wooden building opposite.
In this way, the inside of this sedan chair is real, I don't know if it's the real city god, but it must be the city god in the mouth of the old lady before. In this way, the old yellow-skinned spirit that Ah Kun killed just now is really a stand-in, and he can think of using a stand-in to prevent it, which means that the City God Lord has sensed our existence.
A person came out of the black sedan chair, and that face did look like a person, but his face was also iron-blue, and he always felt that the face was weird, with a very heavy evil aura.
In this case, Ah Kun and I can only fight.
"Xiaofan, I'll deal with that old guy, you go and save people!" Ah Kun said to me, because the ritual was about to begin, and the masked people had been fed to the side of the wooden shelf, and they were ready to push the wooden shelf into the campfire. The so-called sacrifice to heaven is actually to burn the three of them.
The city god had already set up a position, and he began to chant mantras in his mouth surrounded by some masked people.
"Good!" I replied.
Then, the two of them began to act separately, I quietly approached Shen Yue and them, while Ah Kun quietly approached the side of the City God.
When I got closer and closer to the divine tree, it had already aroused the suspicion of those people, because these people should all be specially selected, and the masks on their faces were different.
Since they were all discovered, there was no need to hide it, so I rushed directly towards the Shenmu. Several masked men surrounded them, all with knives in their hands.
I also took out the black scale dagger, and the person who pounced on me slashed at me, I dodged quickly, took half a step back, lowered my body, and moved forward quickly, and smashed my fist directly on the bodies of the people in front of me. Several people flew out at once, and they fell to the ground, and they were all in agony, and they couldn't get up.
The situation here immediately attracted the attention of all the masked people, and more masked people surrounded me, and I couldn't get close to the sacred tree, and there were constantly masked people rushing towards me.
However, they are all just ordinary people, and I overturned them in a few moments, and Ah Kun's side has also begun to do it, so the pressure on my side has been reduced a lot. In one go, I rushed directly to Shen Yue's side, I patted him on the face, but he suddenly opened his eyes and stared at me viciously.
This sudden situation really startled me, I subconsciously took a step back, and at the same time heard the sound of wind from a knife, and the afterglow swept away, and a knife was about to slash my neck.
