Chapter 108: Pagan Legends

At twelve o'clock, Coaster turned off the TV and stretched a big waist, stood up, and was just about to go upstairs to sleep, when he suddenly found himself standing in front of a person, unable to see his face clearly, but felt that this whole body exuded a dangerous aura: "You, what are you going to do?" ”

"I want to ask you what you're going to do? Who is next? "It seems that Ji Tsai has lost all patience and is ready to go straight to the shot.

Who knew that Coaster looked at Ji Zai with a confused face: "What goal?" ”

"You're the one who dragged people out of the chimney, right? Santa's brother! With just over a week to go until Christmas, are you still going to target anyone? ”。 At the same time as Ji Zai spoke, a cyan flame had already appeared in his hand: "Say it!" Honestly, I might be able to spare your life! ”

Seeing Coaster's appearance, Ji Zai couldn't help but be stunned, what is this? Confessing your mistake to Santa Claus? Or is this guy a liar? As soon as he thought of this, Ji Tsai took another step forward: "Do you want to lie to me? It's not that easy! ”

"Ah, don't come here! Don't come over 1! If I want money, I still have more than a hundred dollars in the drawer, and I really only have this money! Please don't hurt me! When Coaster saw Ji Tsai coming, he was so frightened that he hurriedly stepped back, and even peed out.

After smelling the unpleasant smell of urine, Ji Tsai remembered one thing, there was no smell of blood in this room! The obvious smell of blood made Ji Tsai frown when Coffee put the tooth on the table, but there was no one in the room now. Seemingly...... It's really a mistake!

Thinking of this, Ji Zai cleared his throat and said, "Okay, work hard next time, or I'll drag you out of the chimney!" With that, he disappeared into the room, leaving Coaster in shock.

As soon as Ji Zai's figure appeared in the room, a person pounced: "Ji Zai——! ”

Ji Zai subconsciously dodged sideways, punched over, and after hearing a familiar scream, he looked indifferently at the guy who was hit on the wall and was about to become a wall hanger: "Spring hasn't arrived yet, don't mess with your hair & spring!" ”

Coffee looked at Ji Zai with an aggrieved face: "It's just that I haven't seen you for a day, I'm just a little worried about you, you don't have to be so fierce, right?" ”

Ji Zai took off his coat impatiently and fell on the bed: "You should be grateful to stay in this world now, if you stay over there, think about what the consequences will be if you pounce like that just now!" ”

"I guess we'll have a barbecue tonight, right?"

"Yes!" Ji Zai closed his eyes and answered, and found that something was wrong, so he opened his eyes and sat up, only to find that Wu Ling'er, Brother Ying, Xiaohua, and even Wu He were also in the room: "When did you come in?!" ”

"We've always been there!" Wu Ling'er smiled and reached out to poke Ji Zai's smooth and delicate face: "I said, it's a cold day, why don't you stay at home, why do you run out?" Don't tell me you're so bored that you went out for a walk alone! You'd rather spend your time making a mask than go for a walk! ”

Ji Zai slapped Wu Ling'er's hand away angrily: "Just take care of yourself, why do you care about me so much?" ”

"Hey, that's really indifferent! It's so sad! It's just that Santa's brother wasn't found, right? Wu Ling'er opened Ji Zai's eyes with a word: "How do you know?" "Could it be that Xiao Tuo is talking too much?

Just when Ji Zai secretly guessed and got angry, Wu Ling'er poked his face again: "You, you usually have such a fierce mouth, but I didn't expect to be more enthusiastic than anyone else!" Don't look at me with that look, you temper, you don't have to think about it to know what you're doing running out of this place! Awkward guy, can't everyone do it together after saying it? Do you really think you're invincible? ”

Ji Zai slapped Wu Ling'er's hand away angrily again: "Dead woman, poke my face again and I'll beat you!" But this time, Brother Ying and Xiaohua rarely scolded him because of the tone of his speech.

Wu Ling'er sat on the sofa: "Okay, let's talk about your harvest today!" ”

"No gain!" Ji Zai shrank in the quilt and leaned against the head of the bed angrily and said, "I thought it was an old guy, but it turned out to be not at all!" I guess I'll have to look for it again! ”

Wu Ling'er nodded, then turned her head to look at Brother Ying: "Na, what do you say?" ”

Brother Ying glanced at Wu Ling'er and said, "I think that Santa Claus or something, maybe we can put it aside for the time being!" Now we feel that the connection between the two cases is the meadowsweet, not Santa Claus! ”

"Huh? Why? ”

Brother Ying gently knocked on the coffee table and said, "Have you found it?" Neither case happened on Christmas Day! Whether it's Santa Claus or his evil brother who is associated with Christmas, they only appear on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day. But both cases took place some time before Christmas. Maybe...... We're looking for something else! ”

Just when Brother Ying was analyzing like this, Wu Ling'er's computer suddenly rang, and Wu Ling'er hurriedly opened the computer: "Dead salted fish, what information have you found?" ”

Xiao Tuo on the other end of the computer looked depressed: "Boss, I'm working as a coolie for you, right?" Can't you be a little gentle with me?! ”

"No matter how gentle I am with you, you are also a salted fish! Say it! "For Xiao Tuo, Wu Ling'er never seems to be polite, it is obvious that the boss has an attitude towards the younger brother.

Obviously, Xiao Tuo's protest was protest, and he never had any hope for the outcome, so he obediently said: "That...... I looked up the case you mentioned, and it seems that it is not only in this town, but also in France, and in Europe! It all happened just before Christmas. It feels like we're going in the wrong direction! ”

"Finding the wrong direction?!"

Xiao Tuo smiled a little embarrassedly: "Because Ling'er asked me to check the news about Santa Claus, so the direction is wrong, how to say it, it feels like we are stupid!" ”

"Huh?"

"Our focus should probably be on that wreath!"

Xiaohua suddenly interjected, "You mean, that Christmas wreath made of meadowsweet?" ”

Xiao Tuo nodded: "Yes!" ”

"Well, that sounds a little amazing, so...... Can someone tell me, what the hell is meadowsweet? All I know is that it looks beautiful! Wu Ling'er looked at the screen with her chin in her hand, and pointed out a bunch of information about meadowsweet: "It seems that a lot is used in gardening, but these meadowsweets are a little different from the garland we see!" ”

"This meadowsweet is rare, and it may be the most powerful plant in pagan legends!"

After hearing Xiao Tuo's words, Brother Ying's brows furrowed: "Pagan legends? ”

"Yes!" Xiao Tuo also looked at the information in his hand with some embarrassment: "They use meadowsweet in living sacrifices. It's pretty much as ...... Bait to God! The gods will be attracted to meadowsweet and will then 'visit'! Moreover...... Devour the nearest human! ”

Coffee leaned over curiously: "So, why would anyone use it to make a Christmas wreath?" Isn't that too weird? ”。

"It's not as strange as it sounds! Coffee, I mean...... Almost all Christmas traditions are pagan! ”

"Huh?!" Wu Ling'er was surprised again: "Christmas is Jesus' birthday!" ”

"Nope! Jesus was born about the fall! Christmas is very close to the winter solstice. Later, the church re-selected the date and named it 'Christmas'. But Christmas logs, Christmas trees, and even Santa's red suit...... These are inherited from pagan worship! Xiao Tuo shrugged his shoulders after speaking: "It's a little incredible, right?" But that's just the way it is! ”

Coffee was more curious and asked, "So how do you know this?" What will you tell us about the fun next time? ”

Wu Ling'er depressedly pushed away the coffee that was pressing on her and said, "Probably the Easter Bunny is Jewish or something!" However, it is also said that the traditional Chinese New Year is called the Spring Festival, but in ancient times, the day of the beginning of spring was called the Spring Festival, and the New Year festival was set up to drive away a monster called 'Nian'. Probably all the origins of the festival will be a little different from what we usually know, right? ”
