Fu Rudi and Fu Jiao returned to the Holy Niang Temple, and the clothes on their bodies were half-dried by the wind.

Originally, Si Nan Si Bei was guarding the door, but when he arrived, he didn't see them.

Fu Rudi was about to look for it, but Fu Jiao grabbed him, "Brother! Look over there! ”

Her clear heart talisman has not yet expired, and she is naturally smarter than Fu Rudi. The villagers who were originally dancing in the temple were all hideous at this time, and they tied Sinan and Sibei with their hands behind their backs and detained them under the shrine.

The gray-haired old woman was furious: "How did you get in? ”

Si Nan and Si Bei glanced at each other and avoided talking about it.

Because the two of them suddenly appeared, the sacrificial ceremony was interrupted. Two boys and girls knelt in front of the idol, their eyes gradually recovering from sluggishness.

Seeing this, the old woman couldn't help but be a little anxious: "It's time soon!" If you don't worship again, the Holy Mother will be angry! Have you all forgotten the catastrophe 10 years ago? ”

"Don't dare to forget! Don't dare to forget! ”

The villagers who were manipulated by the ghosts took the initiative to stand up, and they still had the ability to think for themselves, "But...... But these two people are Beijing officials, will killing them attract suspicion? ”

The old woman fell silent.

Her face was wrinkled, and she couldn't stop the tangle in her expression.

It's the first time I've encountered something like this......

"Even if you are suspected?"

A feminine voice came from outside the door, and the villagers made way for him, and it turned out to be the well-dressed Jiang Ping.

The villagers saluted him one after another, "Lord Zhizhou! ”

"You're here."

"Lord Zhizhou, the sacrifice will start soon, and we will be waiting for you."

“……”

Sinan Sinan's expression flashed with surprise, and the two suppressed their bad premonitions, and said loudly: "Lord Jiang, please let these villagers let us go." It is a great crime for the people to detain officials without permission! ”

Jiang Ping's slender eyes swept slightly, and the corners of his mouth were slightly curved.

He regarded the two of them as ants, and even ignored them, turned his head and said to the old woman: "This time, there will be Beijing officials patrolling, it is my attention." Rather than a backlog of 10-year disappearances, it is better to take the initiative to report them. There are no clues, no evidence, no dead or dead, no corpses, hum, the gods can't find the missing boys and girls when they come. Those who do not measure themselves will know the difficulties and retreat; I am so happy that I will find a scapegoat for him, so that I can easily change my Qiongzhou peace for decades. ”

When the old woman heard this, she bowed her head slightly: "The idea is good, but it's too dangerous." ”

"Wealth is in danger."

Jiang Ping looked at the statue of the Holy Mother on the altar and asked everyone, "Don't you want to sacrifice the small self to become the big self?" Over the years, have you been blessed by the Holy Mother? ”

Jiang Ping casually pointed at the villagers, "Zhao Chao, did your father rely on the saint mother to pick up a life the year before last; Liu Dong, your three sons are short of money to marry their wives, did the holy lady give you a hundred taels of gold? Li Linjun, this time you offer a pair of children, what wish do you want to make to the Holy Mother? ”

In the crowd, a middle-aged man in ragged clothes walked out.

He dodged his gaze, didn't dare to look at a pair of children in the temple who were smeared with lead powder, and coughed violently: "I...... I'm sick. Very sick. Children can be reborn, I ...... I only have one life as a father. ”

Li Linjun was very guilty.

He covered his face with his hands and urged, "Hurry up and sacrifice!" If it's too late, the Holy Mother won't grant my wish! ”

When Si Nan Si Bei heard this, he understood something.

The two shouted: "You people have lost their conscience! ”

The old woman grabbed the blood of the yellow eel mixed with glutinous rice, and stuffed it into their mouths with her backhand, "Stop! Hugh has to be presumptuous in front of the Holy Mother! ”

At this point, Jiang Ping directly made a movement to wipe his neck, and said irritably: "Chop off your limbs and throw them into the sea to feed the fish, Fu Rudi, I will find an excuse to prevaricate over there." He looked at the time outside, "It's too late, let's sacrifice the virgin boy and girl to the holy lady first." ”

The old woman nodded.

She waved her hand, and the gongs and drums began to sing again. The ghost and the villagers danced around two weeping children.

The decaying walls of the temple reflected the shadowy figures, and the two children became sluggish, their faces turned blue, their bodies shriveled and emaciated at a rate visible to the naked eye, and their longevity was gradually absorbed by the giant beasts on the altar......

"Why hasn't it shown up yet? Could it be that the suppression charm has not been unraveled? ”

Fu Jiao began to get anxious.

She didn't forget to comfort Fu Rudi next to her, "Brother, let's wait and see what happens, don't be impulsive." ”

After all, there were hundreds of villagers gathered in the temple, as well as dozens of ghosts, as well as demons that Fu Jiao was very afraid of.

Fu Rudi didn't hear it.

He patted Fu Jiao's shoulder, "Hide here, don't come out no matter what happens." As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed over like an arrow from a string, kicked away the dancing villagers with two feet, took the two blue-faced children into his arms, and shouted: "How can this be justified! ”

The people and ghosts in the temple were stunned.

The old woman was even more angry and trembled, "Is this night over?!" ”

After so many years of sacrifice, there has never been a bad fate like tonight.

Fu Rudi doesn't understand ghosts and gods.

But he clearly saw that the two children were getting weaker and weaker because of the strange dance music. He believed that if this sacrifice was not stopped, the two children would surely die.

"Your Excellency!"

Si Nan Si Bei was ecstatic at first, and then saw that he was alone, and he was very worried, "Be careful, adults! This group of people is not a good thing! ”

Si Bei spat at Jiang Ping, "Jiang Ping and they are the same raccoon dog!" ”

Fu Rudi watched for so long, I don't know.

Jiang Ping saw Fu Rudi's appearance and his heart was still weak for a moment.

He saluted Fu Rudi, and his words were pale, "This is the custom of Qiongzhou, look at Master Fu Haihan." ”

Fu Rudi held the skinny child in his left and right hands, shocked by what Jiang Ping had done, but his face was extremely calm: "Even though there is a good order of folk customs, but the state has national laws and family rules, and there is no perseverance, and it is all about repelling evil and extravagance." What you have done today has already violated the law of the Great Yuan, don't say that you Lord Jiang, those who violate the law and neglect will be punished! ”

As soon as these words came out, Jiang Ping knew that there was no room for maneuver in this matter.

simply tried to see the dagger, and made a look at the villagers left and right, "Master Fu and his party went to sea to look for coral jade, but unfortunately the ship sank in a storm, and there were no bones...... The weather at sea is unpredictable, and I believe the imperial court can understand it. ”

Immediately, a group of villagers stood up with sticks in hand.

Fu Rudi put down the two children, and quickly untied the ropes of Sinan Sibei. Sinan took out the long knife on his waist and threw it to Fu Rudi, "Catch it, adult!" ”

The three of them were back to back, ready for battle.

These villagers are all tigers and bears, and they are burly, and Jiang Ping didn't take Fu Rudi and the others in his eyes at all. As soon as he gave the order, the villagers swung their sticks and pounced on them like crazy.

Fu Jiao really sweated for Fu Rudi.

These villagers are not ordinary people, they are all followed by a ghost, and their strength and agility have improved a lot.

But she has to be quiet now, and she can't be exposed in front of Fu Rudi......

The villagers were menacing, Fu Rudi's face sank like water, and he held up the long knife in his right hand and stepped forward. Seeing that those sticks were coming straight and were about to smash their heads and break the bloodstream, Fu Rudi suddenly leaned over, blocked the back of the knife, flipped his left palm, snapped twice, and slashed at the villager's wrist.

With just one pair of moves, Jiang Ping knew that Fu Rudi had real kung fu and was not easy to get along.

Fu Rudi learns everything quickly.

Even if it is a sword and a fist, it is better than these villagers and ghosts.

His movements were crisp and clean, his blades touching each other, reflecting a silvery white glow in the moonlight. The long knife was like a swimming dragon, and it struck a few times, and even beat him, and none of the more than ten people touched half of his clothes.

Jiang Ping's forehead sweated suddenly.

He gritted his teeth, pushed away the trembling old woman, knelt straight to the statue of the saint on the altar, and kowtowed three times: "Ask the saint Niang to show her spirit and kill Fu Rudi and the others!" Otherwise, there will be no peace in Qiongzhou, and we won't be able to serve you! ”
