"Brothers, did you hear clearly?" asked Heng Qi again.

The villagers looked at each other and frowned.

"Brothers, is the chicken alive? Do you want to open it and take a look?" Liu Yong also stepped forward and sneered.

The villagers shook their heads in refusal, and after muttering in the local dialect for a while, they all left. A certain fear and uneasiness could be clearly seen on their faces.

After the villagers left, I stared at Heng Qi and said, "Stinky boy, what the hell are you doing?"

Heng Qi couldn't hide the smugness on his face and said: "I didn't do anything, I just caught a few toads and put them in the coffin - the old god refuses to take out his magic weapon, so we can only think of a way, haha......"

"Stinky boy, you can! I won't do anything serious, I will only do these things of stealing chickens and dogs!" Heng Qi's girlfriend Jiang Rulan gave him a roll of his eyes.

"Then what were these villagers muttering just now?" Gao Weizhen asked.

"They speak the local dialect, which we don't understand. Heng Qi, Liu Yong and others all shook their heads.

"They seem to be talking about the blood god, and what are they talking about the third blood god coming down the mountain in the first month ......of July," Liu Ting interjected.

"The third day of the seventh month, oh, today is the third day of the seventh month! And just now I kicked a stone tablet in the grass in the yard, and it was written the word 'blood god'!" the peasant suddenly exclaimed.

"Then I've figured it out now, this temple is the Blood God Temple, and it is the Blood God that is enshrined in the temple!" the old god's two thick eyebrows also raised sharply.

"Maybe the blood god made them feel some kind of taboo, so they left. Liu Yong also guessed.

"Don't get up with this kind of feudal superstition!" Stinky boy, the villagers are not here now, so hurry up and go shopping!" I scolded.

Heng Qi and Liu Yong went to the street to buy something. After a while, the old god also pulled the farmer and said, "Let's go for a walk and find out some news." And the two men departed. Only four girls including Xie Ke and Zhou Hong were left in front of the coffin.

Xie Ke was naturally whispering with his girlfriend Liu Ting, Jiang Rulan and Gao Weizhen were chatting about something, and Zhou Hong's attention and I were still on the handheld terminal.

The anomalous bioradar scanned in circles, but was never able to pick up a meaningful signal.

And the toad they threw in the coffin still made a little movement from time to time, and this sound was particularly terrifying in the dark night! Zhou Hong and I were nothing, and the other three girls were a little uneasy, and they protested and muttered a little or twice from time to time.

Later, Liu Ting finally couldn't bear it anymore and said to Xie Ke: "Monkey, go and get that damn toad out, it's always a terrible person!"

Xie Ke came to me and begged: "Kesi, I can't lift the coffin lid by myself, so I have to help you." ”

I went with him to push the coffin lid, this cedar coffin lid may contain too much water, heavy as a dead man, Xie Ke and I took the strength of the old nose to push the coffin lid open a palm-wide gap, Xie Ke reached in and caught a few toads.

I raised the lantern again, and when I was sure it was gone, I closed the lid again. As for the chicken, which had been beaten to death by the peasants, it was now wrapped in a piece of red silk, and was as stiff as ice in the freezer!

Although if this thing is soaked in boiling water, plucked, washed and cleaned, put it in a pot and fried with oil and salt, and then put some seasonings, it is a good dish, there is no mystery at all. However, at this moment, this thing wrapped in red silk and lay down in this coffin containing the dead, and naturally there was a strange atmosphere, so bad that I didn't want to touch it, for fear that once I touched it, I would have goosebumps on my body!

At this time, they bought food and ordered a plate of mosquito coils, and we finally filled our bellies, and the mosquitoes were a little less disturbed. Soon the peasants also returned. Several old men yawned and lay down on the bamboo mat, and the girls also lay on another bamboo mat. Zhou Hong and I continued to monitor the radar scan signal on the handheld terminal.

I said to Zhou Hong: "Honghong, you go and rest, just watch it with me." ”

Zhou Hong asked me to rest, and she came to watch. In the end, I couldn't resist her, so I had to go and rest for a while, and then come back to replace her.

I also lay down on the bamboo mat, intending to squint for a while. I only heard Heng Qi ask the peasant and the old god: "Two old boys, what news did you come to inquire about just now?"

The old god said: " We just visited an old villager, asked him about the blood god, the old man at first secretive, refused to say, the farmer gave him a few blue bills (that is, ten yuan bills), he told a story that has been passed down for hundreds of years, legend has it that hundreds of years ago, there was a man named Wang Zhongxi in their village to a place called Sanlichong behind the village to cut wood, went for a few days and did not come back, and then when the villagers found him, he was already dead, I don't know what the reason for his death, the horror is that his body also underwent a very strange change, becoming like a ripe strawberry。 Someone accidentally touched off a piece of his skin, and even found that the flesh under his skin was as red as blood, that is to say, his entire body was filled with blood, and the blood clot was as red as clotted fat! And after ordinary people died, the blood was basically dried up, where would it be bright red like clotted fat? Therefore, the elderly people in the village said that he met the blood god and was asked for his life by the blood god. Later, there were a few cases of this kind of thing, and the people in the village were really frightened, so they invited a feng shui master to suppress the evil spirit, and the feng shui master let the village build this blood temple, and set a rule, every year on the third day of the seventh month, a fragrant chicken must be slaughtered to sacrifice to the blood god, in order to eliminate disasters and resist difficulties......"

"And this year's fragrant chicken happened to be killed by farmers. Heng Qi smiled.

"Today is the third day of the seventh month, it seems that the blood god is going to 'go down to earth', peasant, you are very dangerous. Liu Yong also smiled.

"Do you take this superstitious remark that does not stand up to scrutiny?" said the peasant, dissatisfied, but there was a certain element of weakness in his words.

At the same time, the peasants asked me for confirmation: "Kesi, you come to judge the reasoning, is their remark too ridiculous?"

The villagers also felt ridiculous about the blood god's statement, after all, it was too old, and nothing like that had happened since then, and at the same time, the blood temple had been in ruins after a long period of war, and no one had mentioned the sacrifice on the third day of the seventh month. But an incident three years ago once again sounded the alarm bell for the villagers, and made them pay attention to the legend of the blood god again. The old god continued.

"What happened three years ago?" asked Heng Qi.
