Chapter 381: Dragon Boat Festival

"You still have one more thing to deal with. As soon as the staff member was halfway through the escape, Zhou An remembered something and said.

The staff immediately stopped fleeing, turned his head and said with an ugly smile, "My lord, what else do you have to order?" ”

"Take all these bodies away. Zhou An said indifferently.

"I'll take the body away now. Said the outsider.

The staff and his two men left with the corpses lying on the ground.

Zhou An turned his head to look at the seriously injured old couple, the two were beaten very badly, their bodies were full of injuries, and the two of them were old, if they were not treated in time, they might leave the root of the disease and be tormented by the disease in the future.

Zhou An used two prayer skills in a row, and two white rays of light fell towards the two bodies of the old couple, and the white light penetrated into their skin, and gradually the scars on their bodies disappeared, and they returned to their usual appearance.

The couple who were screaming were no longer screaming, and even screamed comfortably, and when the white light disappeared, they completely recovered as before, and even they immediately stood up to express their gratitude to Zhou An.

Later, Zhou An used prayer skills on the couple's daughter and Tilt Dance to make them recover.

The couple and their family knew that Zhou An was not an ordinary person, so they naturally didn't treat Zhou An like before, and treated Zhou An a lot more respectfully.

Their daughter is not as close to Zhou An as she was when they first met, there is some distance, mainly because although Zhou An saved them, Zhou An was too ruthless and beat everyone to death, which made her a little scared.

Zhou An didn't care much, he was only living here temporarily, and his and his wife were just a hurried passer-by in Zhou An's life, and maybe they wouldn't see each other again in the future.

Looking at the weather, the twilight had sunk and it was almost dark, Zhou An planned to stay for another night and leave tomorrow.

The couple's family gave up the room they lived in and let Zhou An live, but Zhou An had no choice but to live with Tilt Dance.

After Zhou An settled down, he took out the box he got from Ke Qilu, the box was square, with blue patterns on a white background, and there was a small stone lock at the opening and closing of the lid and the body of the box.

Zhou An used the volley splitting silk, raised his right hand slightly, merged his five fingers, and swiped towards the stone lock is air, and suddenly the stone lock was cut in half.

Zhou An opened the box, there was a wooden box inside, this wooden box was a mechanism box, Zhou An did not open it, he knew that the mechanism of the general organ box was very insidious, either poisonous or deadly, if you didn't pay attention to it, you would die, and even if the mechanism was damaged, the things inside would be destroyed.

However, the box is so well protected, which also shows that the contents of the box are very important, and judging from the color and breath of the box, it is at least a few hundred years old, which is very ancient.

Zhou An doesn't know anything about mechanics, so he can't open this box, so it seems that he has to find a mechanic to crack it.

At this moment, a middle-aged man suddenly flew from the roof, holding a knife in his hand, and slashed towards Zhou An's body.

Zhou An pulled out the sword at his waist, slashed through it, and suddenly a two-zhang long sword qi shot towards this person.

This sword qi is very fast, very sharp, the sneak attacker held a knife in front of him, the knife was cut off, and the remaining sword qi slashed to his chest, leaving a long blood mark, seeing that the middle-aged man was no longer attacking Zhou An, he fled into the distance, without a trace.

Looking at his back as he fled away, Zhou An did not chase after him, although this middle-aged man was masked, but it gave Zhou An a sense of familiarity, and he always felt that he had seen it somewhere.

Zhou An thought about it for a while and couldn't remember, but Zhou An was sure that it was not from Fengyue Villa, so what kind of place was it.

Zhou An didn't think about it anymore, but covered the quilt and fell asleep.

The next day, Zhou An woke up and left with Tilt Dance.

The two rode their horses and whipped their horses into the distance.

Zhou An did not plan to go to Guiyuan City, but to Songhua City, which was close to Guiyuan City.

The reason why Zhou An didn't go to Guiyuan City was that Zhou An didn't want to hand over the things in his hands to the three elders of the Golden Crow Sect for the time being, but wanted to ask the master of the organ to untie the mechanism and see what was inside.

The road was quite calm, and when he encountered a small group of robbers, Zhou An also killed them and came to Songhua City safely.

The name of Songhua City is really worthy of its name, a big river runs through the entire Songhua City from left to right, as if the Songhua City is divided into two, but with such a view, the reputation of Songhua City is long-lasting.

Zhou An and Dip Dance entered the city.

"It's so lively here, are there any festivals? Tilt said.

"Count, today is the Dragon Boat Festival. Zhou An said with a smile.

"Eat zongzi, I don't know what flavor the zongzi here are, let's eat and see. Tilt said.

"Good. Zhou An said.

Zhou An and Tilting Wu found a lively restaurant, and took the horse to let Xiao Er feed the feed, and Zhou An and Tilting walked into the sprinkle building.

found a window seat, and Zhou An and Tilt Wu sat down. Zhou An called Xiao Er to order, Xiao Er took out a menu and handed it to Zhou An, Zhou An didn't look at it, and gave it to Tilt Dance, let Tilt Dance order.

Tilt Dance nodded happily.

I ordered a pot of sake, a few plates of side dishes, and ten rice dumplings with different flavors.

Zhou An and Qian Wu ate it, especially Zhou An ate three zongzi, which tasted good.

After eating, he said, "I heard that there is a custom of dragon boat racing in places where there is water, why don't we go and have a look." ”

"I want to go see it too, go. Zhou An said.

Zhou An put down five taels of silver on the table, and then walked towards the Songhua River with the dance.

The Songhua River is the water of life in Songhua City, which has raised thousands of people in Songhua City, and is known as the river of the mother, so every time during the Dragon Boat Festival, the dragon god sacrifice will be held, and many people will be invited to race dragon boats to express their respect for the dragon god.

When I came to the side of the Songhua River, I saw more than a dozen men, pulling ropes, not knowing what to pull from the sea, and walking step by step with difficulty in the distance.

"Brother An, what are they doing? Tilt asked.

"They are pulling dragon boats, and dragon boats usually sink under the water, and they will only pull them up during the Dragon Boat Festival. Zhou An said.

"Is this dragon boat just a two-boat race? Tilt asked.

"Of course not, the dragon boat is also known as the dragon boat race is divided into four links: inviting the dragon, swimming the dragon, collecting the dragon, and sacrificing the dragon god, inviting the dragon is to pull up the dragon boat on the bottom of the sea, and the dragon refers to the race between the dragon boats, and the dragon boat is to sacrifice to the dragon god at the bottom of the river after rowing the dragon boat. Zhou An said.

"You're so talented, you know that. Tilt said.

"I usually read a lot of books. Zhou An said modestly.

The dragon boat was pulled up, and five people came out of the crowd, and the five people stretched out their hands and pressed towards the dragon boat, only to see a white heat spread out from the top of their heads, and the wet wooden boat that had been soaked for a long time gradually became dry and renewed.

Zhou An was surprised to see this scene, there was a martial artist at the level of Tongmai who specially cleaned up the stagnant water for the dragon boat.

When the stagnant water was cleared, all the dragon boaters got up to their boats, picked up their oars, and waited for the priest's instructions to prepare for rowing.

Seeing that everything was ready, the priest said loudly, "The dragon begins!"

I saw the people on the five dragon boats rowing their oars quickly, rowing forward, and every time they rowed, there was a whirring sound.

When the boat was halfway through, the dragon boat stopped, and all the fifty men on the boat fell to death in blood.

Seeing this scene, the crowd watching the dragon boat race let out a sound of horror in unison, what is going on, how are the dead, all the people fled to the distance, away from here.

And the officials of the county government appeared, and several officials used light skills to come to the dragon boat and check the bodies of the deceased. There were no signs of poisoning on these people, nor did they have any wounds, could it be that this was a divine punishment to die?

Divine punishment here refers to the dragon god sending down power to kill people.

However, this was only speculation, and the officials of the Judgment Division immediately invited the officials to come to the autopsy to see how they died.

After disemboweling and examining the skin and blood, he said: "I found that there is a small hole three inches in the back of their heads, and this small hole is their fatal wound, but the strange thing is that there is only a trace of water in the small hole, and there is no hidden weapon or anything like that, as for how they died, I don't know." ”
