Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Sacrifice Begins
Three days later.
On the banks of the Poyang River.
Chen Wenqing chose a place with a high terrain to set up a golden Jiao ceremony, please declare the mantra of the gods, set up an altar, and worship the river god.
The altar is about five zhang high, made of pine wood, and a red desk is placed on it.
On the desk, there is a portrait of the Taoist ancestor Heavenly Master, as well as a pair of red table candles, sandalwood burners, sandalwood plates, water purification cups, Fajian, tokens, wooden fish, yellow table paper, etc.
The incense burner is filled with rice with a five-liter rice bucket, and the demon sword, Lingqi, Huiguang iron fork and other magic tools are inserted in the rice for use in law enforcement. The gossip mirror is hung on the altar, asking the gossip god to guide the way. Hanging above the inner altar "glazed fairy lamp", there is also a case table with many statues of gods such as the ancestor of Huang Ling, worship with incense and candles, the green spirit, white spirit, red spirit, black spirit of the first old god statue in all directions, worship with incense and candles,
At this time, at the beginning of the shower, Chen Wenqing began to practice on the altar, only to see his feet stepping on the seven stars, stepping on the fight, holding a peachwood sword, and chanting a mantra in his mouth:
"Five-star photos, bright five directions"
"Mercury is a disaster, Mude is prosperous"
"Confusion and trouble, too white to open up soldiers"
"Four towns and stars, and the country is rich"
"Famous Journals Jade Jane, Records of the Emperor's Room"
"Soaring bokeh, soaring into space"
"In and out of the underworld, the feast of ten directions"
"Five clouds floating cover, beckoning the gods to take the wind"
"Serve all souls, and defend the immortals"
"The sky is clear, the soldiers will follow the order, the soldiers will follow the order, and the order will follow, I will follow the edict of the ancestor of the upper and lower three Qing Dynasty, and urgently dispatch the Poyang River to listen to the order, and the soldiers are as urgent as the law! Pardon! ”
Chen Wenqing's peachwood sword carried a stack of yellow talismans, which burned in the wind, turning into a cloud of green smoke and drifting towards the billowing Poyang River.
"Senior brother, the three animals used in the sacrifice have been prepared, can you go into the water?" Li Youcai saw that Chen Wenqing had finished doing it, and asked in a low voice.
"Well, it's ready to go into the water. I have sent a talisman to inform the demon of the beginning of the sacrifice, and I think the demon is already on his way here. Chen Wenqing looked at the rolling waves of the Poyang River in front of him and said.
Li Youcai nodded, walked to Qu County's side and said, "Qu County's order, you can order the officials to let the tribute go into the water, and the river god is about to arrive." ”
When Qu County Ling heard this, he said with a smile: "Okay, okay, the lower officials will obey the orders!" After speaking, he instructed the officials to bundle horses, cattle, sheep, chickens, dogs, pigs and other livestock one by one on the bamboo rafts and push them down the Poyang River, and the bamboo rafts slowly moved to the middle of the Poyang River with the flowing water.
"Dare to ask Daochang Li, the lower officials have a question, I don't know if you can help solve your doubts?" Qu County Ling smiled flatteringly and said, "Daochang Li, why don't the three animals and six animals that are preparing for the sacrifice this time not call?" The river god prefers living things, and if they are dead, they will be angry later. If necessary, the subordinate can order him to go down and prepare some more sacrifices. ”
"No need, this sacrifice Wei family has their own arrangements, and Qu County's order can be followed, but there is no need to say much." Li Youcai pointed to the middle of the Poyang River and said, "In addition, if anything happens later, the Qu County Order does not need to panic, everything is expected by the Wei family, and the Qu County Order only needs to act according to my orders." ”
"Okay, okay. If Daochang Li is in need, please do not hesitate to give orders, and the lower officials will cooperate as much as possible", Qu Xian Ling rubbed his hands, bowed down and said, "If there is a chance, please also ask Daochang Li to help the lower officials in the Wei family to say a few kind words." Xia Guan had already wanted to visit the Wei family, but unfortunately he had no way to ask for it, and he had been silent after several visits, and he was sunk into the sea......"
The corners of Li Youcai's mouth twitched, thinking to himself that just you, a dog official, would it be strange for everyone Wei to meet you? However, on the surface, he said quietly: "It's easy to say!" Hahaha....."
Chen Wenqing has been standing on the altar and looking into the distance, and the heavenly eye on his forehead has been opened, exuding a golden light.
Soon, Chen Wenqing noticed that the Poyang River had changed, and the originally turbulent river became calm. However, Chen Wenqing could see that there was a white line in the distance getting closer and closer, and it was a wave five feet high, and the waves swept in like a mountain and a sea like a crashing shore.
On the huge waves, a black figure was standing.
"It's coming!" Chen Wenqing said in a low voice, "Senior brother, remember to act according to the plan, don't force your head!" ”
The surging waves of Poyang have exceeded the river embankment three feet high, and the flood rumbles like thousands of horses galloping, carrying an irresistible heavenly might.
"Hahaha, little mortal, this god is here! Hurry up and offer sacrifices, if the gods are satisfied, they can ensure that your Poyang County is peaceful for a year! While he was talking, the three-zhang high waves had already come to the altar from a distance.
"What a powerful feeling! Now I really can't beat it! ”
Chen Wenqing silently looked at the man standing on top of the huge waves in front of him, only to see his upper body exposed, holding a trident, his hair scattered, his eyes exuding a cold and fierce light, and his body exuded a beast-like fierce aura, and his cheeks couldn't help but shed some cold sweat.
When Qu County Ling saw the river god standing on the waves, his face turned pale with fright, his legs trembled, and he immediately knelt down and bowed down, saying: "Xiaguan Poyang County Ling has seen the river god!" The offerings have been prepared, and the river god is invited to accept them with a smile. After saying that, he kowtowed three more times, buried his whole head in the ground, and never dared to get up again.
"Hahaha! You are still self-aware. ”
After the man finished speaking, he turned into a giant snake that was more than ten feet long, and the top of the giant snake's head had horns, and two claws stretched out of its abdomen, obviously there was a tendency to turn into a dragon. The giant snake opened its huge mouth and swallowed the tribute on the bamboo row in the middle of the river.
"Well, that's good!"
The giant python stood upright, its huge eyes shining coldly, and said, "Is there anything else?" What about the virgins prepared for this God? Hurry up and offer it! ”
Hearing this, Qu County Ling raised his head and body like sifting chaff, his face was like gray paper, and said tremblingly: "Tell Lord River God, there are no boys and girls in this tribute, do you allow the officials to take some time and make arrangements?!" ”
"What?! Bold mortals, they dare to tease the gods and look for death! The giant python's eyes widened, and a cold breath came out of its mouth and headed towards the Qu County Order......
"Stop!" A huge earth fire talisman blocked in front of the cold air, and saved Qu County Ling at the last moment.
"Bold and wicked, dare to commit murder?" A voice came from the altar, and Chen Wenqing pinched his fingers and said sharply.
"Demons? The little ant dares to call itself a demon? You're looking for death! With that, the Poyang River rolled, and a huge wave swept towards the altar.
Chen Wenqing's eyes froze, and he recited a spell, and the peachwood sword picked up the talismans on the desk and flew up, and the yellow talismans floated in the air, exuding a scorching aura.
"The fire is blazing, and it becomes a prison. The snake coiled and the turtle walked, and the thunder and lightning were struck. The earth is dark and the sky is dark, and everything is changing. Heaven and earth, sword halberd around. Zheng Du thundered and fired, and built quickly. When the order is ordered, it will always be subject to the constitution of heaven. The Division of Thunder and Fire, Sen Lie Tun Practice. Investigate the ghosts and gods, and see the traces immediately. Haste as a law! ”
Chen Wenqing recited the incantation, and the talismans in the air turned into flames, arranged into a gossip array to block the huge waves.
The "......" waves collided with the flame gossip array and made a snorting sound, and the air was filled with thick water vapor.
"Little Taoist, it turns out that you are all doing ghosts!" The giant worm let out a roar like a cow's moo, and the sound waves hit and trembled all day long.
"That's right, that's me! Evil animal, you have done many evils and mutilated the people, and today is your death! Chen Wenqing held the three clear bells in his hand and kept shaking them to make a crisp sound, canceling out the roaring sound waves of the giant worm.
"Hahaha, just because you, a little Taoist, want to kill me too? It's just wishful thinking! The giant snake said disdainfully, laughing.
At this time.
"I'm the one who wants to kill you!"
A cold voice came, and a slender figure slowly fell from the sky.
