Chapter 25: The Eve of the Sacrifice
Now the whole village has become busy, and Erniu is also busy.
And Zhang Baiguan and the four of them sat in Erniu's house, talking nonsense about everything, Shulin Fat Man was the most active, and the bad things he had done before made him talk about it over and over again.
The ears of the other three people were almost calloused, but Lin Fatzi spared no effort to speak.
After listening to so many heroic deeds of Lin Fatzi, everyone only remembered what he said, and that incident was only interspersed with other stories.
But it made Zhang Baiguan and the three of them remember very deeply, this incident is that when Lin Fatzi and they went to pour the coffin, they once encountered a strange thing in a ravine, that is, this incident happened, and they were trapped in the ravine for two days, and in these two days, they could only be together.
Why is this happening? That's because when I passed through that ravine in those two days, a black wind blew, damn it, it blew for two days, and during these two days, I was trapped in it and couldn't walk!
It's strange to say, after the incident, Lin Fatzi and they found the reason, but they didn't find any clues, but the last few people still survived and poured a very small tomb, which didn't even have a coffin.
After saying this, Lin Fatzi added another sentence, which was to say: It was still a sunny day at that time, and he was walking well, but suddenly there was a treacherous black wind.
That is, what Lin Fatzi said made several people listen to it at once, and the rest of Lin Fatzi's boasting of everyone automatically filtered it.
Then when I asked Lin Fatzi where the ravine was.
Erniu ran in and said that the village was almost ready, and that there would be a part of it tonight, and asked Zhang Baiguan if they wanted to go and have a look.
For the sacrificial activities, Zhang Baiguan also knows some about this line, which is the famous Mount Tai of China, since ancient times, the emperor prayed for rain and peace on Mount Tai, and would let Mount Tai hold a grand sacrificial ceremony.
The folk sacrificial activities seem to be held in Xiangxi, Hunan.
Zhang Baiguan has lived in Xi'an for some years, but he is not very clear about the folk sacrificial activities in Xi'an, so when Erniu asked them if they wanted to go and see it.
Zhang Baiguan quickly agreed.
Out of Erniu's house, tonight, there was a fox moon hanging in the sky, and the wind was slightly gentle, Zhang Baiguan and Lin Fatzi followed Erniu to the center of the village.
Tonight's village is very different from when Zhang Baiguan first entered the village, and many places are decorated, or hung with red cloth strips or black cloth strips.
At a distance, there was still a bonfire burning, and Zhang Baiguan was also the first time to see this kind of battle, and he was curious and surprised.
Quickly walk to the center of the village, that is, the largest and flattest area left in the village, and a lot of people have gathered.
Zhang Baiguan saw a person walking around, shouting everywhere, Zhang Baiguan guessed that this should be the second madman!
This time, I stayed here with the intention of watching the excitement, so Zhang Baiguan didn't think about it so much, but Zhang Baiguan still had this eyesight.
In the end, Erniu confirmed Zhang Baiguan's guess.
The second madman looked quite honest and tall, a head taller than Zhang Baiguan.
There was a bunch of the most vigorous bonfires burning in the center of the village, and many people gathered around the fire, talking to each other and not knowing what to say, when Zhang Baiguan and Lin Fatzi came over.
And he saw a table set up in front of the campfire, and on it stood a man.
"Fellow, who is the person standing on the stage?"
"That's the sacrificial master! The living immortals!" Er Niu spoke with reverence.
Lin Fat Man stared at the back, and he didn't see any difference! He didn't have three heads and six arms! Lin Fat Man thought to himself, this kind of big event, my fat man can also preside over it!
"Fellow, what's the name of this sacrificial master?"
Erniu made a silent gesture and said, "No! ”
Lin Fat Man sighed, and twisted his fat body uneasily.
"There are not many people today, but there will be more people tomorrow!" Er Niu said proudly, colorful.
Lin Fatzi doesn't care about this, it's just that no one appreciates his talent, and sometimes it's really a very depressing thing.
Zhang Baiguan also looked at the back, thinking how could it be a little familiar! Quickly went around to the direction of the person's front, Zhang Baiguan wondered if it could be an acquaintance!
After walking in front of the sacrificial master, there was a gap in Zhang Baiguan's heart, he was not an acquaintance, but how did he feel that the back was particularly like an acquaintance!
Just when Zhang Baiguan was pondering, suddenly a person came up behind the priest master, and when Zhang Baiguan saw that person, his heart immediately stuck in his throat.
Isn't that Lu Xiaoqing? Zhang Baiguan's heart suddenly made a huge wave!
hurriedly rushed to the high platform, facing the backs of the two people on the stage, Zhang Baiguan shouted three words: "Lu Xiaoqing!"
But the two people in front of them didn't react, they were still fiddling with their things, and when they saw that there was no response to the shouting, Zhang Baiguan was a little nervous.
Just as Zhang Baiguan was about to make the next move.
Suddenly, the villagers below didn't buy it, saying that whoever was standing there above was too disrespectful to the gods!
Seeing the contradiction, Erniu hurriedly stepped forward to call Zhang Baiguan down.
The second madman also ran over at this time, saw Zhang Baiguan standing on top, and hurriedly asked him to come down, saying that Zhang Baiguan knew some rules. This will make Fat Lin not buy it. Hearing that someone scolded Zhang Baiguan for not understanding the rules, he opened his mouth to discuss it with the two madmen, and he almost shook his fist when he didn't agree with him.
Zhang Baiguan stopped Lin Fatzi and came down from the stage himself.
There is no need to contradict a trivial matter. Lin Fatzi said that he was giving Zhang Baiguan face, otherwise he would have to beat the second madman, and the second madman was not to be outdone, saying that it was to give face to Erniu, otherwise he would have to beat Lin Fatman.
Zhou Baigou and Lin Fatzi also smelled like each other, and their sleeves were rolled up.
"Restraint, everyone must be restrained!" Lin Fatzi suddenly said such a sentence, and immediately made everyone look at each other, Lin Fatzi let out a sigh of relief, clapped his hands and said, "Let's go, go and see elsewhere." ”
Zhou Baigou hurriedly followed.
Xiangzi's clenched fist also loosened, if the second madman dared to move Zhang Baiguan, Xiangzi would definitely kill him.
When they were arguing, Zhang Baiguan's eyes moved to the stage again and looked at the two backs.
That is obviously Lu Xiaoqing, why didn't she promise herself.
Now that it's so chaotic here, it's not easy for Zhang Baiguan to go up again.
Lin Fatzi walked a few steps, found that Zhang Baiguan did not follow, hurriedly rushed up and dragged Zhang Baiguan over, and then said: "Daguan, you are stupid! Don't you see so many people coming around? That's to beat us up, why are you still standing there!"
looked at Zhang Baiguan's suspicious expression.
Lin Fatzi said: "If it weren't for the fact that there were many of them, I would be afraid of that second madman!"
Zhang Baiguan thinks about it.
But Zhang Baiguan still didn't let go of Lu Xiaoqing who appeared before.
After coming out of the crowd, Zhang Baiguan asked Erniu where the sacrificial master lived in the village.
Erniu was also afraid that Zhang Baiguan would make trouble, so he didn't tell Zhang Baiguan immediately, Zhang Baiguan finally said that he saw an acquaintance, and Erniu told Zhang Baiguan that they lived in a temple in the village, southeast of the village. As he spoke, Erniu pointed in the direction with his finger.
Zhang Baiguan answered, and left Lin Fatzi, and they walked towards the crowd again.
This time, Zhang Baiguan did not come to the stage, but stood below and looked at Lu Xiaoqing's back silently.
Zhang Baiguan wondered why she was here? Could it be because of the tomb, but the tomb had collapsed! Maybe they didn't know.
Zhang Baiguan was a little distracted.
In the end, he was squeezed by the surging crowd, and Zhang Baiguan came back to his senses.
Zhang Baiguan secretly made a decision in his heart, this time he must ask her what is going on!
When Zhang Baiguan thought about these things, he felt that his head was big.
About an hour or two later, part of the early sacrificial activities were also completed, the crowd dispersed, Zhang Baiguan wanted to look for it, but found that Lu Xiaoqing and the sacrificial master were missing.
There are also two madmen who have been guarding themselves.
So Zhang Baiguan followed Erniu back to his house first, and the commotion also dispersed in his ears, and when it was later, Zhang Baiguan looked at the time, and it was already eleven o'clock in the evening.
Zhang Baiguan walked out of the back room, and Erniu had already fallen asleep.
Zhang Baiguan carefully walked out of the door, quietly closed the door, did not make any noise, when they were done together, when they turned around, they found that Lin Fatzi was peeing at the door.
And beside him stood two people, one was Zhou Baigou and one Xiangzi.
"Official, why are you so slow!Fat man, I've been waiting for you for a long time!" Fat Lin turned his head and said.
Zhang Baiguan suddenly felt a little speechless, and asked in a wooden voice, "Why are you here?"
Lin Fatzi laughed a few times.
Shoko was a little embarrassed and said, "I didn't want to call them in the first place!"
Hearing this, Zhang Baiguan finally understood what was going on. Lin Fatzi patted Xiangzi on the shoulder, with a beautiful expression of what you did.
Zhang Baiguan didn't talk nonsense, so he led a few people to the temple in the east of the village.
A few people walked quickly, and it took about a quarter of an hour to approach the temple, and Lin Fatzi suddenly spoke: "How do I feel so gloomy here!"
Zhou Baigou accosted and said, "I also feel like this." ”
Zhang Baiguan tightened his clothes and asked a few people to be careful, because Zhang Baiguan also felt that this temple was weird.
Several people entered the temple, and there was a bonfire burning inside, but no one was seen, Zhang Baiguan shouted, but no one answered.
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Baiguan searched the temple, but found no one.
"Could it be that they are really living immortals, who do not live on the earth at night, but live in the heavens. The fat man said nonsensically.
Zhang Baiguan didn't answer, and Xiangzi and Zhou Baigou didn't answer either, because Lin Fatzi's words were too.
"Maybe they're going to visit the grave!" Zhang Baiguan said in a calm tone.
"What?" Zhou Baigou said in surprise.
Xiangzi and Lin Fatzi also waited for Zhang Baiguan's next step.
Zhang Baiguan said: "They may already have some clues, and now they are already underground!"
"Official, this is impossible, isn't that tomb already collapsed?"
This is not only Lin Fatzi's doubts, but also Zhang Baiguan's doubts, he doesn't know that the tomb has obviously been entered by several people, and it has all collapsed!
Zhang Baiguan was puzzled, thought for a while, and suddenly exploded in his mind, and a conjecture that surprised him burst into his mind.
Could it be that there is another tomb hidden here!
Zhang Baiguan was very surprised, surprised and surprised. But I just can't think of where there will be a tomb here, there is already an imperial tomb here, will there be a second one?
After Lin Fatzi and Zhou Baigou discussed without coming to a conclusion, they were about to ask Zhang Baiguan, but they saw that Zhang Baiguan was stunned!
So Lin Fatzi pushed Zhang Baiguan.
Zhang Baiguan was thinking about the previous tomb, would the second tomb still be in the same place!
Thinking of this, Zhang Baiguan told Lin Fatzi about his conjecture, and when they heard it, Lin Fatzi was shocked and couldn't say anything!
"What are you doing?" Zhang Baiguan shouted, and Lin Fatzi asked.
"Of course I went there to see it. ”
Zhang Baiguan was a little speechless, this dead fat man said one thing is another, Zhang Baiguan stopped Lin Fatzi, now he didn't bring out the equipment, and it was not easy to act if he went.
If you want to go, you'll have to go again tomorrow.
Lin Fatzi thought about it and felt that what Zhang Baiguan said was reasonable.
After staying here for a while, Zhang Baiguan and Lin Fatzi left.
But not long after they left, three people appeared in the temple, one was Lu Xiaoqing, and the other was the priest, but the third person was Zhang Baiguan, who couldn't think of who it was!
"Things have come to this point, and it's time to look at them. The priest said.
Neither Lu Xiaoqing nor the third person opened their mouths to answer.
The priest continued: "He is not a good stubble, and if this continues, he will find us sooner or later." ”
"Shut up!" said the third man, as if angry.
But Lu Xiaoqing had already sat down and said, "I have already been discovered, it may not be convenient to act!"
The third person: "You don't have to worry about this, I can settle it, it's a big deal to give that person" said he made a motion to wipe his neck.
The priest answered: "Are you okay? You didn't see it just now, and the few people around him are not vegetarians. ”
"Shut up, Lao Tzu!" The third person's tone was already full of cold at this time.
