Chapter 759: On the Day of the Sacrifice
Song Siyuan looked at him and said, "Then let's not go to the Rat Immortal Temple to have a look?" Maybe you can discover what they're hiding? ”
Yue Qingshan knocked on his pipe and nodded: "Girl, now go to the Rat Immortal Temple, maybe people are waiting for the rabbit, at this time it is tantamount to scaring the snake, the Hundred Dragon King Sacrifice is imminent, if there is a variable, then there will be sideways branches, it is better to wait for the Dragon King Sacrifice for the time being, and see what they are going to do?" ”
"That's fine." Afterwards, Song Siyuan looked at Zhu Fushun and his wife: "Brother Zhu, sister-in-law Ma, I still want to ask you one thing, to check for us, why the Dongting water bandits have not touched Yugou Island for three hundred years." ”
"Girl? Do you suspect that something is hidden under Jade Hook Island? ”
Ma Yanghua pondered the meaning of her words and spoke.
Song Siyuan nodded and said, "Yes, I think these two things are too strange, there are so many islands on the broken island, why did the Rat Immortal Temple build here?" Is it just because the island is in the center of the broken island? I don't see it, the most important thing is the strange thing in this temple, it is obvious that the people of the Golden Rat Club are playing ghosts, then, the location of the Rat Immortal Temple is on Jade Hook Island, it is too much of a coincidence. ”
"You mean, the Golden Rat Society is likely to collude with the Dongting Water Bandits?"
Yue Guanchao smelled the meaning of Song Siyuan's words, pondered the deep meaning of this, and couldn't help but squint his eyes.
Zhu Fushun's face was full of disbelief: "This is impossible, it has been fifty or sixty years since the Dongting bandits came ashore, who would still make such a living?" Walking with the Golden Rat, what's the picture? ”
"The picture is probably something under Jade Hook Island."
Song Siyuan looked at everyone: "It's already rare that no one has broken ground on Jade Hook Island for three hundred years, and a little further, I don't know who built this island, and I can use it for my own use, it can be seen that he is a powerful person, perhaps, this island itself is the biggest secret, if some water bandits are also aware of this, guess what will happen to them?" ”
At the mention of this, everyone's minds were like lightning, exploding the fire tree and silver flowers, and said in unison: "The Golden Rat Society is good at digging graves, and if the water bandit camp covets the secret of Jade Hook Island, it will definitely cooperate with the Golden Rat Society." ”
Song Siyuan continued to speculate: "Yes, the water bandit camp has not excavated Yugou Island for three hundred years, it is likely that it is just because there is no technology, if there is technology, they would have dug Yugou Island a long time ago, and now, the golden rat will hook up with the water bandit camp, and it can be regarded as finding a helper, and it is completely logical that the water bandit camp really wants to move Yugou Island." ”
She paused, and gradually explained the situation she understood: "If you look at it this way, you can understand why the golden rat will pretend to be a ghost in the Rat Immortal Temple, the purpose is to cover up their grave-digging behavior, and at the same time, it can also rely on the rat fairy to worship the moon to cover people's eyes and ears, so as to continue to shape the terrifying legend of the rat fairy asking for his life." ”
"It's just that all this is my speculation, and there is no evidence to prove my speculation, I want Brother Zhu to find the rumors of Jade Hook Island for us, just to reverse the behavior of these people from the result level, I don't know, Brother Zhu, it's inconvenient for you?"
Zhu Fushun did not hesitate, nodded at her and said: "Help you check these things, there is no problem, I also want to see, there are still those Dongting water bandits who are still thieves." ”
"But I still don't understand, if they just want to keep it a secret, they just dig Jade Hook Island behind their backs, why do they still kill innocent people, isn't there no three hundred taels of silver here?" Xu Xiake interjected.
"This, we really can't understand it for the time being, maybe after the Hundred Dragon King Sacrifice, there will be a conclusion."
Song Siyuan's words, everyone also understood, the golden rat will hook up with the Dongting water bandits, it is originally a similar smell, maybe there are other secrets hidden under the Jade Hook Island, they can't discuss it at the moment, so they have to go back to the inn first.
For the next three or four days, they quieted down and waited for the arrival of the Hundred Dragons Sacrifice.
……
The rainy season of the valley, the warm wind of the day.
The Baiwu Dragon King Festival arrived as scheduled, and the Longjun Temple accepted the folk sacrifice, not to mention that it was a major event in Yueyang City, but it was a great temple event along the coast of Dongting Lake.
On this day, the people of Yueyang City and the villagers near Dongting Lake got up early in the morning to pick up their dragon flags, paper ties, and ingots and rushed to Longjun Island.
If there are the sages and gentry of the country who have heads and faces, most of them rush directly to Longjun Island by Dongting waterway, and the boats sail together, and travel mightily on the lake in spring.
At this time, the red sun sprays thin, reflecting the water of a river and lake, illuminating the water surface floating and shining gold, like gold and silver shattering, flowing quietly towards the connection of paddy fields.
If you stand on the cabin and look down to the northwest, you can see Junshan Town, Longwang Town spread near Junshan, each stretches out of the bustling town, Longjun Tower is towering and towering, set in the green tent shrubs, birds skip the spire, the blue sky is high and cloudless.
At this moment, the town is noisy with gongs and drums, firecrackers, lanterns, cars and horses, and even the vicinity of the Longjun Temple is also lively.
Of course, anyone who wanders outside to catch the temple fair is regarded as the general public, and in addition to the spontaneous participation of the people, the government will also come to the temple fair to give speeches and make a speech to conform to the will of the people.
In the huge square in front of the Longjun Temple, it can be seen that among the crowded crowds, there is always an open space where no one walks in it, which is the main venue of the Longjun people's temple fair, that is, the sacrificial place.
As early as the night before yesterday, even the Longjun Temple here was completely emptied, and no people were allowed to stay or vendors set up stalls, so closely checked, of course, because the powerful wanted to participate in the Dragon King ceremony, there was also an important purpose, that is, to prevent people from ambushing in the temple in advance.
After all, the Dragon King Festival is a grand event in Yueyang, even if it is not for the sake of the people attending the meeting, it has to be for the sake of the magnates who participated in the meeting, if they suffered near Junshan, it can be regarded as a dereliction of duty in Junshan Town.
On the day of the Dragon King Festival, only this area was surrounded by yellow belts, and the Yueyang Government Yuan was afraid that something would go wrong, so they directly sent the Township Yong Regiment to fence this place and completely separate the crowd from the festival venue.
At this moment, the spacious square in front of the Longjun Temple has been cleaned up, all of them are covered with bluestone slabs, and white curtains have been erected on the left and right sides, each of which is furnished for more than ten meters, and it is full of tables, chairs, sofas, tea, and snacks.
If you go to the front gate of Longjun Temple to the end of the lake, you can still see a temporary "T" shaped pallet, at the end of this pallet, there is a huge treasure ship made of thin wooden planks 15 meters long and 8 meters wide, I don't know what it is for.
Some people died, but not completely......
