The festival time begins.

Zhang Xianling led the people to the main hall of the real temple, and stood in place with a respectful expression.

The priest held a long scroll in his hand, read the words aloud, and then waved his hand to announce the beginning of the sacrifice.

Although Wuxiu County is only a county seat, and the people are only tens of thousands, this sacrificial ceremony is very similar to that.

Whether it is the best or the activity process, Zhang Xu has gained insight.

As the people knelt down and worshiped the real statue, the Taoist Songhe glanced at Zhang Xu.

The eyes of the sky were wide open, and the next moment, Zhang Xu seemed to see an incredible scene, and his eyes revealed shock.

Under the insight of Tianyan, Zhang Xu saw that streams of white qi came out of the people's bodies, and these gases gathered in the sky above the real human temple, and finally floated to the real human statue.

After receiving these white gases, the life-size statue faintly shimmered with blood, which made the originally solemn sacrificial ceremony look a little weird and terrifying.

"Dao Chief, this ......"

"Shh

Daoist Songhe shook his head at Zhang Xu and didn't let him say anything.

The two stood in the middle of those martial arts people, watching this scene with expressionless faces.

The sun in the sky is getting hotter and hotter.

Under the scorching sun, some old men knelt on the ground, their bodies trembling slightly, obviously unable to support themselves.

In a short time, the old man had fallen to the ground, but the people were unaware of it, and their faces were reverent, as if nothing else was in their concern except worship.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Xu's brows couldn't help frowning, he didn't expect that the people who were normal and intact just now would seem to be a different person when they came to worship.

Fortunately, the worship time was not particularly long, and with the end of the worship, the original strange scene was restored instantly.

Zhang Xu looked up at the sky, and the white qi gathered was all shrouded around the real portrait, and in a few breaths, all of them were absorbed by the real portrait.

And the originally silent scene became lively again with the end of the sacrifice.

People came up one after another, all wanting to get a blessing from the priest.

However, the blessing lottery seems to be limited, and those who grab it are happy, and those who don't grab it are remorseful.

In general, with the end of the sacrifice, people leave the temple one after another to attend the next temple fair.

Although the temple fair is called a temple fair, it is held in the county seat.

And Chen Yu also found Zhang Xu and explained: "Qingxu Daoist, please ask you for the next temple fair." ”

Zhang Xu nodded, there are many people attending the temple fair, but during the day, the probability of monsters appearing is not large, and it is necessary to pay attention to this stage of dusk.

Chen Yu left with the people first, and Zhang Xu immediately found the Songhe Daoist who was about to leave, and hurriedly asked, "Daoist, what was the situation just now?" Could it be that the real human image is absorbing the spirit of the people? ”

"That's right, this sacrificial ceremony, it is really as poor Dao thinks, since this real statue can absorb the spirit of the people, then in the real human temple, there must be a magic circle that you want to cooperate, now it is inconvenient to explore, wait until the evening, poor Dao go back to investigate, are you interested in being with Poor Dao?" Matsuru asked.

Zhang Xu nodded directly and said, "Of course." ”

"Okay, I'll look for you then."

Songhe patted Zhang Xu's shoulder, and then walked into the distance.

Looking at the back of the Songhe Daoist, Zhang Xu exhaled lightly.

Things are becoming more and more unpredictable these days.

Not to mention how to defeat the Bronze Mirror's Blood Ape, just how to find its traces is a problem.

This real temple made Zhang Xu feel that the things involved in the blood ape were probably much more complicated than he imagined.

"I just hope things go well, otherwise don't talk about going back, it's a question of whether you can survive or not."

Zhang Xu followed the footsteps of the people and walked towards the county seat.

In the afternoon, there were more people at the temple fair, although there were many people in the rivers and lakes, and there were several conflicts, but on the whole, nothing major happened.

Zhang Xu set up a table on the balcony of an attic, which has a very good view of most of the county's streets.

Below the attic, vendors set up stalls on both sides of the road, and the vendors here were not only from Wuxiu County, but also merchants from other counties.

Because of this, the main streets of the entire county look extremely lively, and the crowds rub shoulders, forming a huge flow of people.

These people almost fill the streets, not to mention the vendors with carts, even pedestrians, who walk here is extremely crowded.

Looking at this scene, Zhang Xu remembered the village meeting in his hometown, and the scene was not much better than the temple fair in front of him.

Throughout the afternoon, Zhang Xu observed the street below, holding a book such as local history, drinking weak tea and eating snacks.

At sunset, the clouds on the horizon are gradually dimming, and the vendors and pedestrians on the street have left, except for the scattered figures, the lively scene during the day is already history.

Zhang Xu also put away the books, stood up, and prepared to leave.

Chen Yu led his men to Zhang Xu.

"This time, the Taoist can come to help, Lord Zhang and we are very grateful, this is a little bit of caution on the part of Lord Zhang, and I also ask the Taoist to help."

Chen Yu handed a package to Zhang Xu.

Zhang Xu opened the package and found that there was a silver ticket of one hundred taels and a few books.

"Before, the Taoist wanted to introduce some folk legends, customs, and some classics, and Master Zhang specially looked for these books, hoping not to disappoint the Taoist chief." Chen Yu explained.

Zhang Xu raised his eyebrows, and said in his heart that this county order would be a good person.

These books are indeed what he needs, and he has been in this world for some time, and he can't always be ignorant of this world.

"Master Zhang has a heart, and Poor Dao thanked me again." Zhang Xu accepted the package and smiled.

Chen Yu arched his hand, said a few more polite words, and then took his subordinates back to resume his life.

Zhang Xu looked at the sky and returned home with the package.

He prepared all the dust-whisking long knives, checked the talismans, peachwood swords, and gossip mirrors again, everything was ready, and the rest was waiting.

The stars twinkled in the sky, the moon rose, and there was a knock at the door.

Zhang Xu took his equipment and walked out of the door to meet the chief of Songhe Road.

"Boy, what kind of dress are you!"

Daoist Songhe looked at Zhang Xu, who was heavily armed, and couldn't help but be stunned.

Zhang Xu said with a puzzled expression: "What's wrong?" ”

"We're just going to check it out, you're being a little too cautious." Daoist Songhe shook his head and said.

"There's nothing wrong with being cautious, and in case of an emergency, there are ways to deal with it."

"Okay, but this operation, you follow me, don't do anything superfluous." Matsuru Dao Chang admonished.

"Understood."

"That's good!"

Daoist Songhe pinched the long sword in his hand and beckoned to Zhang Xu.

Then, the two of them sped out of the city.
