Chapter 0685: Bloody Sacrifice!
Maybe it was a psychological reaction, Wu Ming looked at the smile on the old village chief's face, and he also felt weird.
"Tsk...... , young man, it's getting late, I wonder how you're resting?"
Wu Ming said with a smile: "Thanks to the care of the elderly, it's not bad." ”
"Oh...... That's good, that's good. The old village chief looked up at the space, and after a few breaths, he said, "After an hour, there will be a grand festival twice a month in the village, if you are interested, you can also participate in it." ”
Twice a month, which is also called a grand ceremony?
Wu Ming couldn't help but wonder a little in his heart, he could think that the grand ceremony in the mouth of the old village chief was the festival ceremony of the Taishan holy stone on the fifteenth day of the first month of each month, and it can be seen how much the old village chief attaches great importance to this matter.
Presumably, this should be the case in all the villages around Mount Tai.
After a brief hesitation, Wu Ming agreed to the old village chief.
Since the old people are so warmly invited, the younger generations are naturally willing to participate. ”
So, Wu Ming and the others walked out of the hut.
They followed the old village chief to the clearing in the middle of the village.
"Brother, look. ”
In the central clearing of Xiaowang Village, there is an old locust tree, the old locust tree has lush branches and thick trunks, and it looks like it has grown for at least thousands of years.
At this moment, the villagers of Xiaowang Village have already gathered in the open space.
Everyone's face was painted with some weird stripes, and their expressions were serious.
Some of them held fruits, some carried bacon, and some held prepared mountain fruits.
The villagers are male and female, and what Rou'er asked Wu Ming to see was that there seemed to be a few pregnant women in the crowd, and Wu Ming naturally noticed it.
He swept the bellies of the women, there were four pregnant women, and these four pregnant women were pregnant in October, as if they were going to give birth at any moment.
Rou'er leaned towards Wu Ming's side.
"Brother, what kind of ceremony is so grand? Even pregnant women with big bellies have to participate?"
Wu Mingjian's eyebrows tightened, and he muttered, "Pregnant women ......." Since there are pregnant women, there is not even a single baby or child in the whole village. ”
While thinking about it, the old village chief had already walked to the center of the crowd.
It can be seen that the old village chief is right, similar to this kind of ceremony Xiaowang Village does often do it, the old village chief came to the villagers, just said a few words, and then took the villagers of Xiaowang Village to leave the village.
Wu Ming and the others followed quietly.
"Brother, where are they going?" asked Rou'er curiously.
"I guess I'm going to some place like a mountain temple. Sacrificial activities like this should be carried out in some special places. ”
"Mountain, mountain temple? Could it be that these villagers worship Shi Dang as a god?"
"Hehehe, it's not that there is no such possibility, let's go, just wait and see what happens. ”
In this way, Wu Ming and the others followed the old village chief and a group of villagers out of Xiaowang Village and walked towards the foot of Mount Tai.
Walking and walking, the branches on the moon.
After walking for about half an hour, the old village chief and the villagers of Xiaowang Village finally stopped.
Wu Ming followed behind the villagers, and took a look, at this moment, a tall stone tablet appeared in front of the old village chief and the villagers, this stone tablet was black and shiny, about three zhang high, standing in front of the people.
Looking closely, there were still words on the stele, and there were four blood-red characters written on the dark and shiny stele.
Saint, stone dare to be!
Although Wu Ming has never seen the stone dare on the top of Mount Tai, but looking at the huge stone tablet in front of him, no matter the height or size, it is basically the same as the legend.
Next, the old village chief led a group of villagers to bow to the stone tablet.
The villagers brought the offerings to the front and placed them on the spacious stone platform in front of the stone monument.
All of this seems to be the most ordinary folk festivals.
But the next scene shocked Wu Ming and the others.
But I saw that the old village chief walked slowly to the stone tablet and took out a short blade.
He shook the short knife at the stele a few times, and his mouth seemed to be still muttering, and then he actually made a cut in his palm with the short knife.
All the action is fluid.
Subsequently, the old village chief pressed his hand on the stone platform, and Wu Ming found that the dark stone tablet seemed to faintly emit a faint burst of ghostly light, and the old village chief's blood flowed out of the wound, like a dense spider web, into the stone tablet.
Next, the villagers stepped forward in groups, and they all used their knives to make a hole in their bodies like the old village chief, and soaked their blood into the stone tablet.
"Brother, what are these people doing? Have you ever seen this kind of sacrifice?"
Wu Mingjian frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Perhaps, this is a local folk custom." Wu Ming said this in order not to make Rou'er frightened, at this moment, the power of his demon soul probed into the stone tablet, but found that there was a not weak force on the stone tablet, and this force was very rare.
"Shhh...... "Wu Ming found that the force on the stone tablet that resisted him could actually resist the power of his demon soul to visit.
Could it be that the rumors are false? Taishan Shi's heroic righteousness has been exhausted?
What is certain is that there must be demons at work here, and I am afraid that it will be a difficult character.
Suddenly, Wu Ming had a feeling of being deceived, the top stone of Mount Tai dared to be, is there a legend so powerful?
Looking at this appearance, Wu Ming even doubted how Shi Dangdang seemed to be an evil god being worshipped, which was ...... from the legend.
Thinking of this, an even more bizarre scene was staged.
The pregnant women, who were ten months pregnant, also walked to the altar.
The next scene, miserable, several villagers walked in front of the pregnant women, and then, they cut open the pregnant woman's belly, took out the fetus that had been formed, a few strong men put the fetus on the stone platform, the strange thing is that the pregnant women did not resist at all, let the villagers take out their fetuses that were about to be born.
(A bloody scene, not much to describe.) )
Rou'er exclaimed directly.
"Ah...... , brother, look at it, look at their ....... Although Rou'er's cultivation is not low, she is a girl after all, and when she suddenly saw the bloody scene at this moment, she immediately fell into Wu Ming's arms in fright.
Xiao Hei was also dumbfounded.
After a few breaths, Rou'er couldn't bear it anymore.
"Stop. ”
Rou'er's angry roar attracted the attention of all the villagers, and everyone looked at Wu Ming, their eyes were full of dissatisfaction, even anger.
The old village chief slowly walked to the front of Wu Ming and the others.
With a pale face, he walked in front of Rou'er, and said with some displeasure: "Don't be rude in front of Shi Sheng, hurry, quickly make amends to Shi Sheng." ”
Rou'er said angrily: "Bah, what a stone saint, this is simply an evil god, are you all crazy, do you know what you are doing?"
"Bold. The old village chief, who had always seemed easy-going, suddenly roared angrily.
