Early morning.

"Whew"

Kong Qing opened his eyes, Kong Qing did not practice yesterday, but slept early, long-term cultivation has made Kong Qing not have such a relaxed rest for a long time, stretched his waist, Kong Qing got dressed, and after a simple wash, he opened the door again.

"Huh"

Kong Qing only glanced around, but he didn't see a single disciple of the Yi family, which made Kong Qing feel very strange.

"Why is there no one" Kong Qing shook his head puzzled, and then walked towards the Yijia Guest Hall.

Usually, there is the conversation and laughter of the disciples of the Yi family in the morning, but today's Yi family is extremely deserted.

"Senior sister!"

Seeing Yuan Yuanxiang and Yi Rong standing outside the guest hall, Kong Qing shouted and walked over.

"Senior brother, you're up," Yuan Yuanxiang said casually.

"Senior sister, what's going on, why is there no one," Kong Qing couldn't help asking.

"Daddy left the family in a hurry this morning, and I don't know what happened," Yirong replied.

"Is something wrong" Kong Qing looked inside the guest hall, and there was no one inside.

At this moment, the housekeeper of the Yi family happened to pass by, and Yi Rong saw it and ran up quickly, "Uncle Liu"

"Eh Rong'er" heard Yi Rong's shout, the housekeeper turned around and looked at Yi Rong kindly, "Rong'er, what's wrong?"

"Uncle Liu, where did they go, Daddy, why is there no one in the house" Yi Rong puffed up his eyes and looked at the housekeeper.

"Don't you know" The butler was a little surprised, looking at Yi Rong with a blank look, the butler completely turned around and looked at Yi Rong and the three.

"The sacrifice requires two snake pills, you know," the butler asked.

Yirong nodded, "Well, isn't there still two days?"

"Oops, I also just got the news that two snake pills were robbed by an assassin last night, and the head of the family heard the news early in the morning and took people out of the family," the butler explained.

"The snake pill was robbed" Yi Rong shouted, for this news, obviously Yi Rong couldn't be calm, the sacrifice was a major event in Duci Town, the snake pill was stolen, obviously everyone couldn't accept the news.

"The head of the house has also taken care of it, and I believe that there will be results soon," the butler paused before continuing, "I'll go and get busy first"

"Hmm," Yi Rong nodded before turning his gaze to Yuan Yuanxiang and Kong Qing.

"Miss Yi, what's the matter with the snake pill," Kong Qing hurriedly asked.

Yuan Yuanxiang also looked at Yi Rong suspiciously.

"That's ......"

The triennial snake god sacrifice ceremony in Duci Town, the sacrificial ceremony requires two snake pills, the snake pill is refined by hundreds of medicinal materials, and the refining time also takes a whole year.

The sacrificial ceremony was also handed over to the two families of Duci Town

Hands, respectively, the Wang family and the Yi family, the Wang family refining the male pill, the Yi family refining the female pill, a few days before the ceremony, the Wang family and the Yi family will send people to the Lingcheng to take the pill.

According to the general tradition, after getting the two snake pills, the snake pills must be placed in the mouth of the snake god statue for three days, in order to let the snake god know in advance that the people of Duci Town are coming to hold a sacrifice ceremony.

"Now there are only two days left before the sacrificial ceremony, I didn't expect that there was a problem at this juncture" Yi Rong sighed, and there was an indispensable anxiety between his soft eyebrows.

The sacrificial ceremony is an activity that everyone in the town of Dushi should participate in, and the town has a long history, and for thousands of years, the people of the town have been abiding by the rules and regulations throughout the ancient tradition.

And this time, the snake pill was accidentally lost at this critical juncture.

"Looking at this time, there is no time to refine the two again, that is to say, the two snake pills must be retrieved within these two days, otherwise it will ......" Kong Qing also knew the seriousness of the matter.

"So the reason why the head of the Yi family is leaving the family now is precisely because of this," Yuan Yuanxiang said softly.

"It should be right, Daddy is the head of the family, and it just so happens that this time the task of Shoudan is also the turn of our Yi family, if the sacrificial ceremony cannot be successfully held because of this accident, then Daddy ......" Yi Rong's hands were clasped tightly together, and now she has no way at all, and she can't even contribute to the Yi family.

Kong Qing thought for a while, and hurriedly comforted, "Miss Yi, don't worry, there are still two days before the sacrificial ceremony, as long as you find the snake pill within two days."

"But how can this snake pill be easy to find" Yi Rong sighed, "If the people of Resignation Town know about this, everyone will blame Daddy, and Daddy will definitely be in a hurry now."

glanced at Yuan Yuanxiang, and then looked at Yi Rong, "Miss Yi, we are also in a hurry here now, why don't we also go to the snake god statue to have a look, maybe we can help one or two."

"But......" Yi Rong glanced at Kong Qing and Yuan Yuanxiang's faces, and then nodded heavily, "Okay, it's naturally best to be able to help Daddy."

Speaking of this, Kong Qing and the three of them immediately rushed to Duci Mountain.

Walking all the way through the streets, the people on the street were still doing their own things as always, and the one who saw that none of the people had a little smile on their faces, and they didn't know that the two snake pills needed for the sacrifice had been stolen by the thieves.

The advent of the snake god sacrifice, everyone has an unspeakable joy, although it is just a legend, the people who do not leave the town have always put the sacrificial ceremony on the most important thing.

During the sacrifice, no matter what you are doing, whether you are far away from home, or at a critical juncture in your cultivation, you must immediately stop and participate in the ceremony, praying to the snake god to shelter the town for three years.

It is precisely because of this that for thousands of years, the town of Duci has been in peace and tranquility, even if there is any sect war in the city, it still has not affected the town of Duci, and some of the wars caused by the war will also be resigned

The town serves as a refuge.

Therefore, the fame of Duci Town is still famous in the large and small town-level areas of Guoling City, and many outsiders will also travel long distances to see the sacrificial ceremony.

Yuan Yuanxiang grabbed Yi Rong's hand tightly, wanting to let Yi Rong not worry, but Yi Rong's eyes had already revealed the anxiety in his heart without concealment.

The theft of the snake pill, for whatever reason, is inseparable from the Yi family, and this time the task of guarding the pill also happened to fall on the head of the Yi family, and there was such an accident, Yi Bin, who was the head of the family, was the most anxious.

"Miss Yi, is the ceremonial place on the mountain" Kong Qing looked at the big mountain range in the distance.

Kong Qing rescued Yi Rong in about this position last time, and Yi Rong's blood grass was also found on Duci Mountain.

"Well, the ritual place was carefully taken care of by Daddy a few days ago, and I guess Daddy is also on it now" Yi Rong replied, and pulled Yuan Yuan Shanti to speed up.

Along the way up the mountain, I also saw many beasts and insects on the way, but the most were snakes.

This made Kong Qing can't help but think of the big python that Yuan Yuanxiang encountered in Baiyun City before, compared to these small snakes, they are not at the same level at all.

The thousand-year-old history of Duci Town, who knows if there is a huge python like that on the mountain, Kong Qing thought in his heart.

After a period of time, Kong Qing and the three of them finally came to the top of the mountain, and there were many footprints on the way.

Seeing this, Kong Qing and the three of them immediately rushed up.

"Miss!"

Seeing this, a disciple of the Yi family hurriedly shouted with joy.

Yi Rong nodded and replied simply, "Get out of the way, I'm looking for Daddy!"

"Ah, eldest miss, the head of the family has already ordered, and now that there is a problem with the ceremony, no one can disturb it" The disciple of the Yi family hurriedly stopped.

"I'm my father's daughter, and I want to contribute to the family!" Yi Rong suddenly said angrily.

The Yi family's disciple's face was bitter, "Miss, don't embarrass us, the head of the family has ordered"

"Yes, eldest lady, we don't dare to disobey the order of the head of the family," another disciple of the Yi family also persuaded.

Just when Yi Rong was in a dilemma, Yi Fu, the elder of the Yi family, came over, and when he saw Yi Rong and the three of them, he had always doted on Yi Rong very much, and immediately walked up quickly and patted the Yi family disciple on the shoulder, "It's okay, it's all my own family, it doesn't matter."

"Yes, Great Elder" The Yi family disciple put away his spear and took a step back.

Yifu showed a difficult smile, "Rong'er, why are you here, now that there is a problem with the ceremony, we are all in a hurry now."

"Second uncle, I am also a child of the Yi family, there is a problem with the ceremony, the consequences are unimaginable, Rong'er also wants to do his part for the family and share the worries for his father" Yi Rong replied seriously.
