At night, the stars are picturesque.

The gates of the city, which should have been closed, were now wide open.

The inhabitants poured out like water, and the torches raised formed a long dragon of fire in the darkness of the night.

Tens of thousands of people walked through it in chaos with a bit of order.

The temple is outside the city near the Mujiang River, covering an area of dozens of acres, and the four gates of the temple are open at this moment.

Of course, even so, the temple could not receive these tens of thousands of worshippers.

Therefore, all the buildings in front of the temple were forcibly demolished and turned into a huge square.

In addition to three huge bronze tripods, almost as high as the temple, there is also a huge statue of the god erected in this square.

The statue was wrapped in an equally huge red cloth, so Li Mu couldn't see his face clearly.

But there is also a smaller statue erected next to the statue of the god.

It was a large serpent with horns, with four claws, lying at the foot of the idol.

The sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked man reappeared in the square, dressed in a red cloth at the moment, which not only did not bring a festive effect, but looked very strange.

Especially when he stood behind a man with the same thin triangular eyes, pink and red, it was really .....

I don't know how many tastes the lady in red has, so I will pick out these few to serve as temple blessings.

It was eight o'clock in the evening.

The pink-clad triangular-eyed man who was the leader shouted a few words.

"The auspicious time has come, and the birthday celebration begins—"

It's obviously a religious place, but these people make it like a rich man in the countryside.

In an instant, Li Mu felt that the forced character of this lady in red was declining wildly.

Then, before the crowd could be agitated, someone pulled a cart of incense and distributed it one by one.

"Mother's celebration, you all bow to me quickly."

"Remember, your heart must be sincere, otherwise when the time comes, the mother will eat your incense, and if you are not sincere, be careful that her old man will be guilty."

The men in red shouted like gongs and drums.

This nondescript farce began and lasted until the second half of the night.

Nothing strange has happened during this time.

The only strange thing is that after such a long time, all of these residents seem to be in good spirits, and even some of the old people do not show the slightest tiredness.

The breath of fireworks rises.

The air here is also dyed with the smell of incense.

Just thought that this farce was about to end, but I saw the sharp-beaked monkey gilled Lin Miaozhu slowly walking out from in front of the statue.

temporarily took over the presiding position of the man in pink, his eyes were shining, flashing a little like greed and excitement.

Shouted loudly: "On the sacrifice, please let the mother step down the dragon king to manifest!" ”

Hmmm-

The red cloth is lifted off, revealing the statue of the goddess within.

Hiss –

Li Mu gasped.

Without him, it is really this statue of the goddess that is too expressive, as if a real person is revealed in front of him.

Not beautiful, though, but ugly.

It was a five-official, ugly, and absolutely feminine female face.

At the same time, there was no hair on her head, but it was uneven and black-brown, as if it had been burned by fire.

Further down, there is no robe to cover it at all, and the original two granaries have become like pectoral muscles, and the depiction of muscle lines is even more lifelike.

At this moment, the white fog rises by the river.

A group of women took ten pairs of boys and girls and placed them on bamboo rafts near the river.

These boys and girls all wore heavy makeup and wore clothes like little belly pockets, and waited quietly without crying or making trouble.

"Worship the lady in red and protect the safety of me and other beings."

"Second worship the dragon god of Tsing Yi, bless my villagers with good weather and good weather."

Woo————

The heavy horn sounded, someone set up the offering table, invited the god seat, and wrote the four words "Tsing Yi Dragon God" on it, and then put on the offerings such as three animals and snacks, poured white wine, lit incense, and kowtowed and worshipped.

Then there was a red-clothed temple Zhu got up, with a solemn expression, first picked up the rooster on the incense table, and then walked to the bank of the Mujiang River, and actually cut the throat of the rooster with his fingers, and poured the chicken blood on the bamboo raft where the boy and girl were standing.

Dark red chicken blood slowly dripped down the gap between the bamboo rafts.

Again, the crowd prayed as if enchanted.

"Lord Long, the little one will burn incense and kowtow to you, offer sacrifices, please bless my family with a smooth wind, strong winds and waves, good luck when you are evil, and peace for the old and young."

Only a few people, their eyes were bloody, and they didn't bow their heads to pray, but they just knelt down and raised their heads, looking at their own children on the bamboo raft.

"Bug..."

Xiao Bo suddenly appeared on his shoulder, one hand around his neck, and the other hand nodded at the river.

Sure enough, I only heard a commotion.

It's like something huge is rolling in the water.

Suddenly, the white mist was torn apart, and a figure five meters tall appeared.

It is the same as the statue of the lady in red, with four claws, and the appearance is covered with blue and black scales, like a big snake with horns.

But at the moment it was erect, and the upper limbs that had been like claws were now strangely like human hands.

The next moment, the crowd exclaimed.

"The Dragon King has appeared!"

"It's the dragon god apparition."

"Everyone, worship!"

In the face of the crowd's sincere worship, it was unmoved, and the lingering aroma wafted in front of him, but suddenly disappeared.

Thick green saliva flowed from the corners of its mouth, looking at the ten pairs of boys and girls on the raft who did not cry or make trouble.

"Please enjoy the dragon god in Tsing Yi!"

The sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked man stepped forward in fear, and his buttocks were pouted into the sky.

Water waves spread.

The lizard-like creature stood still in the undulating waters, its pale yellow vertical pupils opening and closing.

"Why didn't they react when they saw this king?"

A strange voice rang out.

This big lizard can actually speak.

Li Mu looked at this big guy floating in the water with some surprise.

Although the voice is strange, it is indeed human.

"It's... It was the subordinates who disturbed the king's meal in order to avoid the noise of these sacrifices..."

"Idiot!"

As soon as the dragon god's claws poked out, the red-clothed figure suddenly turned into a mutilated corpse, and then fell into the river, quickly dying red.

"Mortal, return my sacrifice, or you will be my new sacrifice."

The dragon god lowered his head, his pale yellow vertical pupils the size of a basin, and a fishy stench wafted up, and his dark purple forked tongue stretched out, revealing a mouth full of barbed fangs.

On the bamboo raft, Li Mu stood alone in a black robe.

When I heard this, I didn't raise my head, but just glanced at it without being salty.

Crash~

There are silver-white waves crashing on the dam between the rivers, which seems to be surging and rapid.

"Mortal, answer my question, or you will bear the wrath of a god!"

"Oh, big lizard, you answer me a question too. I'd love to know, how do brutes speak human language? ”
