Chapter 193: Sacrifice
The statue of the god in the temple of the black-clothed king in Liangshan appeared, and a new god was born from the original black-clothed king Nirvana, and the news soon spread throughout the town.
Moreover, the young and old men in the town encountered many fierce beasts in the mountains on the way to the black-clothed Tianwang Temple, but they repeatedly encountered evil and turned danger into safety.
In the ancestral hall where the gods were originally enshrined in Qingshi Town, the statue of the gods has been invited away by its devout followers to find another place of faith, at this time the altar is empty, and in the ancestral hall hall, all the people with some status in the town have gathered here to discuss major matters related to the safety of the town.
The old man who led the thirty young men to sacrifice to the black-clothed Tianwang Temple before was impressively in the ranks, and his status was not low, there were seats in the hall, and they were very forward, and the middle-aged man sitting on the chair in front of the offering table was the first on the right side of the two rows of seats.
And this middle-aged man sitting in the center is the mayor of Qingshi Town, and he is also the only bloodline inheritor in the town who has mastered extraordinary power, relying on a faint trace of Mangshan Niu bloodline in his body, and with all his strength, he can hit the Mangshan Niu Phantom, and he can smash granite with one punch, which is the strongest existence in the town and the backbone of the town.
Seeing that everyone was almost there, the middle-aged man coughed lightly, and then announced the start of the proceedings.
The old man who sits on the right side of the middle-aged man is the most knowledgeable person in the town, the young man has wandered, has been to many places, has seen a lot, and has come to settle in Qingshi Town after old age, and has a very high status in the town, and all the festivals and rituals are presided over by this old man.
Seeing the mayor's signal, the old man slowly stood up with his beard and walked to the center of the hall, and the old but sonorous voice sounded, "The black-clothed Heavenly King Temple has appeared to the gods, and I want us to worship them, so as to ensure the peace of my town." Recently, the spirit has been in turmoil, the people of the town are panicking, the old man means that in this town, worship this god, and overhaul the temple of Liangshan Zun, sacrifice in the moon, and restore the previous peace of the town!
As soon as the old man's voice fell, everyone present opened their mouths to inquire, and many townspeople who were standing outside at the entrance of the ancestral hall also poked their heads out, and they were quite concerned about the deliberations inside.
The old man raised his hand and pressed it falsely, stopped talking and inquiring, and then looked at a fat middle-aged man at the top of the position, wearing a brocade robe, and his appearance was also white, he was the owner of the largest leather store in the town, and he also opened an inn and a grain store, which was the god of wealth in the town.
The middle-aged man slowly got up under the gaze of everyone, first bowed slightly to the old man, and then asked: "Old Sun, the Temple of the Black-clothed Heavenly King used to shelter our town for a long time, but these days you also know that the situation of the Black-clothed Heavenly King is not good, the temples elsewhere have been destroyed, and the temples on the mountain have been abandoned for a long time.
"Yes! There are gods who can recover the incense after being knocked down from the god position, but there are only a few for thousands of years, and there are countless gods who collapsed and finally died after falling from the god throne, we don't know if this one is reliable, just worship it like this, the money is okay to say, if the opportunity is delayed, and those spirits are wreaking havoc, the big guy will lose a lot! Why don't you go and invite a powerful god back to protect our Qingshi Town!"
Listening to these objections, the old man stroked his beard and did not speak, and when these objections were finished, the old man raised his hand and said loudly: "You all know what the old man means! But the old man thinks he doesn't have to worry about that!"
"Many of the sons and daughters who went with the old man have seen the manifestation of the gods, and the black-clothed king was the strongest god around him before, even if he just woke up from sleep at the moment, but the background is there, before sheltering us Qingshi Town, the town has always been peaceful, and now it is just to welcome it back!"
"As for what you said about inviting another god to come, hehe, I'm afraid you don't know, our Qingshi Town is located in a special location, relying on the reckless mountains behind Liangshan, most of the gods are reluctant to come, and some shallow gods can see it, but these gods are also difficult to shelter our Qingshi Town. On the other hand, the black-clothed king, oh, should now be honored as the black-clothed soldier master, he has been sheltering us and others before, and he has been a powerful god before, and it is much easier to restore the god position than other gods who are not in the stream, if you are pious at this time, when the black-clothed soldier master employs people, I can't say that I can still get the position of a temple priest, the opportunity is in front of you, it depends on your means!"
After some talking, the opponents were not very firm, they discussed with each other, and finally everyone reached an agreement, and the mayor of the town finally made a decision, inviting the black-clothed soldier master to come to the ancestral hall of the town to worship, if it can protect the safety of the town, then the whole town will raise funds to rebuild the black-clothed Tianwang Temple on Liangshan.
After the discussion, the mayor and a few people stayed behind to discuss the matter of inviting the newborn black-clothed soldier master.
The old man surnamed Sun sat on the chair and stroked his beard, and said in a deep voice: "Please God, everything else is easy to do, that is, the body of this god is a little difficult to do, unlike the clay sculpture and wood carving of ordinary gods, but the body of this god is something that needs armor." What do you say?"
"What else can I do? Old rules, let's get together!" said the middle-aged leather goods boss on the side, sitting on a chair, fiddling with the jade wrench in his hand from time to time.
"I think, it's better to let the blacksmith shop in the town create a pair of armor, no need to refin, ordinary iron casting, the general appearance is enough!"
"No, the matter of the idol is very important, and it must not be easily perfunctory, otherwise it is easy to hate the gods. The old man waved his hand, "Mayor Town, the old man remembers that you have a pair of armor, which is made of stainless steel, and mixed with a lot of red gold, which is a family heirloom handed down by your father. I wonder if it can be used as the body of this god?"
"How can this be? This is the mayor's heirloom, and it doesn't have to be used, so how can it be taken out so easily?"
But the middle-aged man sitting in the middle, the outline of his face, which was as rough as a rock, moved slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Under the nest, how can there be no eggs, even if I keep this armor, I am not the opponent of any spirit, at most I can protect myself." But if I can exchange this armor for a powerful god to protect the whole town, I, as the mayor of the town, should donate this armor!"
As he spoke, the middle-aged man stood up and said categorically: "This matter is so decided!" Elder Sun, the divine body will use my family heirloom armor, and the rest of the things will be left to please, we must invite this black-clothed soldier master to our town as soon as possible to end the spirit rebellion as soon as possible!"
"The old man must do his best!" the old man surnamed Sun also said in a solemn voice.
The high-level officials in the town reached an agreement, and the progress of the matter of inviting the gods was very fast, and in less than a day, an extra pair of black and red armor sitting cross-legged on the high platform in the ancestral hall was enshrined in the ancestral hall.
Then the townspeople came to the ancestral hall, and knelt outside in the black press, kowtowed to the armor on the high platform and prayed, and began the ceremony of inviting the gods under the auspices of the old man wearing a sacrificial robe.
The old man had a solemn face, shaking a string of quaint copper bells in his hand, wearing a feather hat on his head, and slowly knelt down in front of the armor in the crisp bells, and then all kinds of offerings were placed in front of the armor in turn, guiding the townspeople to call out together: "Respectfully invite the black-clothed soldier lord to appear and descend!"
"I respectfully invite the Lord of the Black Soldier to appear and descend!"
"I respectfully invite the Lord of the Black Soldier to appear and descend!"
The townspeople began to shout, and at that moment, a roar rang out, accompanied by tremors and screams, and a strong fishy smell wafted through the town.
"Oh no, it's a spirit that has broken into town!" many people shouted in panic.
Suddenly, many of the townspeople who prayed here panicked, and a few timid people wanted to flee back to their homes to hide, but as soon as they left the vicinity of the ancestral hall, they were stunned by the huge number of beasts.
Driven by two huge spirits, jackals, leopards, foxes, wild boars, and other beasts in the mountains are afraid of more than a thousand, as well as dense snakes hissing and spreading, and the walls of the town are broken by these two spirits together, and they are raging towards the town.
At this time, most of the residents of the town worshipped in the ancestral hall, and the rest of the townspeople guarded the walls of the town, but at this moment, the tide of beasts was coming, and it was obvious that those townspeople were more than lucky.
"What should I do, what should I do?" Many people were so frightened that they panicked, and even had a timid direct incontinence, and they could smell a smell of fishiness in the air.
The beasts were already surrounded by dense beasts, and it was impossible to run now.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we have no way back at this moment, we can only pray for the protection of the gods!" The old man who presided over the invitation to the gods took a deep breath and shouted: "Stabilize your mind and pray with the old man to pray for the black-clothed soldier lord to come!"
Roar Roar Roar !!
In the earth-shattering roar, many people were frightened, and they all knelt on the ground and trembled, praying extremely reverently for the black-clothed soldier lord to appear and shelter.
"I respectfully invite the Lord of the Black Soldier to appear and descend!"
"I respectfully invite the Lord of the Black Soldier to appear and descend!"
............
The sound gradually gathered, wave after wave, overwhelming the roaring snake of the beast one after another, the mayor of Qingshi Town was dressed in a strong suit, and the blood and qi of the whole body burst out, faintly emerging A fierce Mangshan cow phantom, guarding around, blocking in front of the townspeople, and a black-scaled python in the distance confronted each other, and after a while, a bean-sized cold sweat had broken out on his forehead.
"Is my town going to be destroyed today?"
With a low roar in the distance, the surrounding mountain beasts burst into flames and pounced on the people of the town from all directions.
The mayor of Qingshi Town listened to the tiger roar that spread in the air, his ears were buzzing, and his heart sank, the two-headed spirit, if this black-clothed soldier lord did not show his saints, then Qingshi Town would be in danger today!
