Obviously, the activities of the Midyear Festival will not only be the release of lotus river lanterns.

Pudu, set off flames, pray for a good harvest......

Yan Jing held an umbrella and wandered around the town, witnessing frequent strange things.

At the festival, people worship evil spirits first, and then worship the Buddha three times, and the ghosts of all families who should have been sacrificed by incense are placed at the end; The monks fed the evil spirits according to the ritual of setting off the flames, and as soon as the latter appeared, they were devoured by the strange monsters that lay in wait beside them; At the festival of praying for a good harvest, buffaloes with ears of wheat, corn, and peppers suddenly burst out and trampled on pedestrians.

It was originally a festival to pay tribute to the ancestors and pray for well-being, but now it is disorderly and evil!

So the dragon and tiger Yama appeared one after another, and set things right.

Last night in the pagoda, Yan Jing and Yu Zhen discussed how to establish the image of the dragon and tiger Yama.

The latter is worthy of being an expert in this field, and the points mentioned in the conversation can be applied in a variety of situations, and even the psychology of ordinary people in this era can be figured out, and Yan Jing has gained a lot from practice.

While taking advantage of the chaos everywhere to promote the dragon and tiger Yama, Yan Jing is also searching for the most critical show girls, crazy boys and He Jianbing.

Although the plan discussed with Zhao Qianwu and the others last night was to avoid their edge and just want to evacuate safely, with Yan Jing's character and his speculation about the torch, if he could meet the guy who was lonely, he would never miss the opportunity.

However, after visiting most of the town, Yan Jing still didn't find them, and knew in his heart that they must be hiding somewhere, just waiting for the outbreak after the unitary time.

It was already three o'clock in the afternoon when I returned to the shore of Chengjing Lake, and there was only one hour left before the unitary hour.

Yan Jing, who did not rush to the restaurant and made up her mind to maintain a sense of mystery, sat in the Huxin Pavilion, casually flipping through the Buddhist scriptures, waiting for Yu Zhen to finish her work.

Fingers twisted the pages of the book, and Yan Jing's gaze lingered on one of the verses, thoughtful.

Suddenly, a cold wind blew into the pavilion, and the rain splashed on the paper, staining a large area of wetness.

Yan Jing closed the Buddhist scriptures, got up and walked to the pavilion, and looked up.

The clouds grew thicker and thicker, and the sky was dim, except for the pale glow of the thunder and lightning surging out.

Hiss~

There was a tingling pain in the back of his head, and Yan Jing subconsciously lowered his head, only to feel that the surrounding scene seemed to be covered with an illusory curtain of light and shadow for a while, and everything was gradually distorted.

"Luo Daochang...... Raja! ”

"Uh, what's wrong?"

Yu Zhen's voice changed from vague to clear, and Yan Jing suddenly woke up and turned his head to look over.

"Something seems wrong with your mental state, I've been standing next to you for almost two minutes and you haven't noticed?"

Untying the string of the hat, Yu Zhen looked at Yan Jing with concern.

"It's because of Zhiyi, I can feel that the environment in Jingjiang Town is becoming more and more chaotic...... Don't talk about this, what's the situation on your side, has the sealing array been completed? ”

Taking out a bottle of refreshing potion from the space and drinking it, Yan Jing asked instead.

"It's successful, but I don't know what the final effect will be, although Wu Qi has provided a lot of manpower and material resources, but according to my observation, the beliefs of these people are rarely pure, most of them are selfish, and I'm not sure how much will they be able to accumulate in the next time."

Like Yan Jing, Yu Zhen also sensed the problems of Wu Qi and others.

"I wanted Wu Qi to call the townspeople who believed in the other two evils to change their minds, but the effect was worse than expected, they had not witnessed the death of their beliefs, and the authoritarian image of the evil still maintained a strong binding on them."

"Speaking of which, when I was wandering around Jingjiang Town, I didn't see the fanatical believers of the show girl and the crazy boy......

"Wandering?"

"I wasn't idle when you set up the sealing array, I walked around, and Wu Qi and these people alone couldn't meet the requirements."

While speaking, his eyes fell on the surface of the Chengjing Lake outside the pavilion, Yan Jing was stunned for half a second, his face changed suddenly, his hands on the fence suddenly tightened, and the stone railing opened several cracks.

"Oops, their operation seems to have started early!"

I saw that the surface of the wide Chengjing Lake was actually a large area of black spots in just a few seconds.

Their source is the black rain that falls from the sky.

Only this time it was not just a small area like the day it first came, and as far as the eye could see, it was filled with a black rain curtain.

"Let's go! Back to the pagoda! ”

Yan Jing didn't hesitate to turn around and go straight to the corridor outside the Huxin Pavilion, and Yu Zhen didn't dare to slack off, so he followed.

The Buddhist scriptures on the stone table were left behind.

The wind and rain blew, and the pages kept turning and turning, and finally stopped at the two pages that Yan Jing had been reading before.

On the left side is a drawing, somewhat similar to the relief carved at the bottom of the stupa, while the text on the right is not complicated, and only one thing is mentioned throughout:

The Buddhas have always been in the three poisons,

Grow in the white law, and become the world.

Three poisoners: greed, hatred, and stupidity.

......

Crackling~

Thunder!

As evening approaches, the flow of people on the streets gradually decreases.

The townsfolk either go home to prepare for the evening worship of their ancestors, or gather at some special places in the town.

For example, the former land temple in the town, and now the earth immortal temple.

Before the time comes, a race to welcome the gods is taking place here, and it will continue until the night.

On the table in front of the main hall of the temple, two bronze statues of earth immortals are placed in the room, surrounded by various melons and fruits, and livestock tributes.

In the square opposite the table, there were two or three hundred people gathered, to say the least.

There should have been more, but this time, Wu Qi and those who believed in Hebo did not appear.

The crowd formed a circle, leaving an open space of about 100 square meters in the center, and placed 72 porcelain bowls filled with soybean oil, arranged in 9 rows, placed at a distance of about one meter from the front and back, left and right, and then lit.

This is the preparation for the sky-jumping lantern.

A group of people walked out of the crowd, all wearing ghostly masks, painted with bright colors and strange patterns, holding musical instruments of various sizes such as wooden fish, small drums, gongs and cymbals, and the last few people held yellow and black prayer flags.

At the beginning, a person takes the lead in beating the wooden fish, jumping through each row of lights in a rhythmic and regular manner.

At the corner of the row, everyone has to do some jumping and turning movements, and blow the instruments and props they are holding.

This scene was undoubtedly lively, even if the rain continued to expand, the crowd still burst out with great enthusiasm, they walked and waved with the team of sky lanterns, shouted the names of the show girl and the crazy boy, and bowed to the idol on the table from time to time.

Until it rains ......

The black rain fell into the porcelain bowl and mixed with soybean oil, and the bright yellow firelight suddenly spread a layer of gray green.

The colorful costumes of the people who danced the sky lanterns were also stained with large stains, and the ghost faces on their faces became more and more hideous at the moment, and the cheerful crowd gradually fell silent, their bodies and cheeks were drenched with black rain, and suddenly someone exclaimed loudly,

"Look, how can there be so many ...... Ghosts, all ghosts! ”

I don't know when, the square in front of the main hall has been filled with vague ghosts, they gather among the incense everywhere, it should be invisible to ordinary people, but the black rain poured down, but these ghosts who should be in another space are also illuminated.

The crowd was in a commotion for a while, and on the other hand, the ghost's side seemed to be frightened enough, so that both sides were retreating separately.

At the same time, the porcelain bowl seemed to be filled with too much rainwater, and the black liquid began to spill out from the edge of the bowl, connecting with each other and turning into large black patches that spread to the feet of the surrounding people and ghosts.

The sound of gongs and drums sounded.

The people holding musical instruments in the ranks looked at the objects in their hands, looking around blankly, they clearly did not knock on the objects in their hands, where did the sound come from?

The music is high-pitched and loud at first, but over time it becomes deeper and sharper.

Eventually, it turned into a disturbing whisper of Sisso.

The already gloomy sky was completely darkened at this moment.

It didn't take long for the crowd to scream and cry out in pain, and the many ghosts on the side seemed to be in a similar situation, except that they couldn't make a sound, and could only twist their bodies frantically, trying to get rid of the black viscous liquid that was entwined around them.

Goo~cluck~

A thunderous sound sounded from the top of the Earth Immortal Temple.

Two black shadows were separated on the left and right, the eaves and beams cracking because they could not bear their weight.

"God...... God is coming! ”

The chaotic crowd unexpectedly calmed down.

The townsfolk quickly fell to their knees, praying for the two gods to save them from the crisis, and the black viscous liquid that had been attacking everyone from the black rain did stop for a while.

At the same time, in the center of the roof of the Earth Immortal Temple, a figure slowly walked out.

"Oh, the people in this town are really interesting, God...... This title sounds pleasing to the ear. ”

With his right foot stepping on the cloud scroll carving at the top of the ridge, his face was full of pus, and he could barely see the humanoid He Jianbing grinning like a toad, his eyes swept over the gold and silver utensils on the table, his eyes flashed with a strange light, he paused, and looked back behind him,

"The people and ghosts here are almost enough for a meal, right?"

When the words fell, dozens of scarlet lights lit up in the shadow on He Jianbing's left, and the girl's coquettish laughter gradually sounded, and on his right, more than a dozen dark tentacles couldn't wait to rush out, heading straight for the believers and struggling ghosts in the square.

Something more terrifying than the black rain has befallen here......

A chilling hiss and swallowing sounded one after another.

After about ten seconds, a ghost grabbed the door of the Earth Immortal Temple, and only a roughly outlined head had its mouth wide open.

In the next second, several waxy palms poked out from behind it.

Like a predatory dog, it gnawed at all parts of its body and dragged it back to the Earth Immortal Temple.

Boom!!!

The door is closed......
