For some reason, the wolf god was lying in the cave, as if he was sleeping.

But sensing the footsteps of the two, it immediately got up and entered a fighting stance.

“…… Wolf God? ”

Seeing the wolf god again, Xi Yun couldn't help but be stunned, but she didn't forget the purpose of her coming here, and hurriedly said:

"Wait a minute, wolf god! I have something to tell you! ”

However, the wolf god didn't look at her more, and the wolf god's attention was all on Xiao Yi. There was a hint of fear in its red eyes.

Then, the wolf god immediately swept past the two of them at a speed that was difficult to catch with the naked eye, and escaped from the cave.

“…… It's gone. Xi Yun couldn't help but be a little disappointed, "At that speed, we definitely can't catch up." However, there must be a reason why the wolf god will appear here, Xiao Yi, let's go, the ancestral shrine may be inside. ”

Xiao Yi nodded, and Hexiyun continued to explore the inside of the cave.

After a slight downhill climb, they immediately saw a heavy wooden door bolted with ancient patterns in the cave, and there was no doubt that it was the main entrance of the ancestral shrine!

In the center of the ancestral hall is a large altar made of rough rough uncarved stones, on which are placed many tablets.

The names on these tablets represent people who died as a result of the feast.

"Is this the Ancestral Temple? But...... It doesn't seem to be anything special. With a little light, Xi Yun looked inside for something that might be useful.

Soon, on a stone platform, she found a pile of yellowed papers and books in a mess. Among them, there is a stack of paper that is folded the thickest, and it is very neat, and it looks like someone has deliberately arranged it!

"Xiao Yi! Come here! Xi Yun hurriedly shouted, "Light up here with a lantern." ”

Xiao Yi immediately arrived, placed the lantern on the stone platform, and asked, "What did you find?" ”

"Look." Xi Yun picked up the pile of books and papers, "There is not a little dust on this stone platform, someone must have cleaned it not long ago, plus this neatly arranged stack of books and papers, I can be sure that my mother-in-law has been here!" ”

"So that means?"

"Well, my mother-in-law must be sorting out this stack of books and papers in the end, that is, there are some important clues hidden in it!" Xi Yun immediately flipped through a few pages, and then her face was happy, "This is!" A record of every feast that has been held in our village since ancient times! ”

This stack of paper, or a few pages, or a book selectively tears off parts of the content and stacks them on top of each other in a certain order. The first page, starting with the first feast.

However, as soon as Xi Yun flipped through a few pages, he couldn't help but be stunned.

"The First Feast...... There is no record of anything related to the wolf god at all? ”

"What does that mean?" Xiao also asked.

"The feast exists because of the wolf god, but ...... The reason for the first feast was to offer sacrifices to a god named Sundake! ”

"Sundake God? Why did another god pop up? ”

"Wait a minute." From the very beginning, Xi Yun seriously recounted the contents: "All this has to start with the establishment of the village. At that time, people were in awe of the mountains and nature, believing that there was a god named Sundake in the endless mountains. The god Suntake controls everything in the mountains, and people can get food from the mountains, all of which are charity from the god Sundake, so people worship and worship the god Sundake, and do not dare to go beyond the territory of the god Sundake, but only dare to build villages at the foot of the mountain. ”

But then, war and famine struck, and the extreme hunger and hatred of the invaders finally made people gradually crazy, and even began to eat people. People also abandoned their worship of the god Sundake, and in order to escape the war and obtain food in the mountains, people began to move deep into the mountains, which is the origin of our village. ”

But soon, the god Xunyue sent divine punishment on the disrespectful people, and a rain of blood struck, and the corpses of countless beasts fell from the sky, killing several people. But even so, people could not leave the mountains, so in order to appease the wrath of the god Sundake, the people began the first feast. ”

"Because there is no wolf god, the first feast is completely different from what we are familiar with. Is that...... A person was chosen as a sacrifice and sacrificed to the god Sundake. And the way chosen is to fight, beat the other party until he can not fight back, even if he wins, and whether he is a man or a woman, whether the other party is a relative or friend, once he is determined to be the weakest person in the village, he will be executed. It is different from the current feast, it is completely abandoning human nature, simple bloody and violent rituals. However, he also said that children under the age of fourteen were not sensible and ineligible to participate in the feast, so they were to be expelled from the village during the feast. ”

"The second feast after that was actually held again eleven days after the first one? So fast? The third feast was held twenty-four days after the end of the second feast. Why be in such a hurry? It's like ...... If you can't meet your expectations, you rush to drive again. ”

"At the third feast, the people were already exhausted and very negative. And after that, the feast ceremony finally did not rush to open again. It wasn't until more than half a year later that the fourth feast arrived. However, the fourth feast was very different from the previous one, because ...... The wolf god appeared. ”

"One day, long before the Fourth Feast began, a child in the village said that he had seen the god Xunyue being eaten by a wild beast, and at first the people in the village were unimpressed, but since then, the villagers have seen a huge white wolf shadow several times, and it has also displayed strange abilities. Coupled with the fact that there was no rain of blood after the god Xunyue, people finally believed that the god was eaten by wild beasts. The villagers speculated that the god Sundake had become weak due to the lack of faith in the people of the people and the destruction of the land by the war, so he was attacked and eaten by a wild beast. And the beast also gained divinity from this, and was called the wolf god by the people. ”

"It is believed that the wolf god, as a new god, must need sacrifices to strengthen itself, but it does not have the strength to make everyone submit, so it will eat someone in the village, pretend to be that person, and try to gain the trust of others and find a way to secretly eat more people. Therefore, the form of the fourth feast ceremony is to find out the wolf god disguised as a human and put him to death. Suspicion between people is questioned...... It's a bit similar to our current feast, but it's still very different, especially in terms of lore. ”

"At the fourth feast, if the wolf god is executed, the sky will rain blood again, which will indicate the victory of the people. But the wolf god will not die, it will recuperate and come back later. The strange thing is that after the appearance of the wolf god, the frequency of wild feasts has decreased a lot, and it is only held once in a few years or even more than ten years. ”

Then, Xi Yun talked about the next few feasts. Each feast is different from the corresponding legend, as if the person who knew the legend of the past is dead, and he recklessly begins to revise the legend.

The god Sundake, who was the origin of everything, even disappeared as if it had not existed since the beginning. And the god who originally controlled the mountains became the wolf god.

This reminded him of what Serreya had told him, that the legends of gods and gods were always changing in order to cater to the rulers of the time.

But for what purpose, the legend of the Feast and the Wolf God has changed so frequently?

Xi Yun continued: "The feast fifty-seven years ago, the first feast that my mother-in-law attended, is almost the same as the feast we have today, but there is no guardian spirit. Then the feast thirty-nine years ago, and suddenly there were more existence and legends of the guardian spirit, and the mother-in-law must have been puzzled by this, so she has been collecting records about the feast. ”

Xi Yun took a cursory look at the rest of the content, which was all supplements to some information from the past, as well as some discoveries written by her mother-in-law herself.

There are still many things that are not clear, such as the rules and documents that exist for granted have not been recorded in the past feasts.

Also, the previous feasts were all timeless, but this feast, for some reason, is limited to five days.

Although Xi Yun wanted to continue the investigation, she estimated that the time was almost up.

Xi Yun immediately looked at Xiao Yi, "Xiao Yi, let's do this today, after so long, I guess it's not too early, let's go back early, let's talk about the rest tomorrow." ”

Xiao Yi nodded, and Xi Yun also took the stack of books and papers, and after walking out of the cave with Xiao Yi, he found that the sky had indeed begun to darken.

Xiao Yi and Xi Yun quickened their pace and quickly ran in the direction of the house.

"See you tomorrow." After leaving this sentence, Xi Yun and Xiao Yi separated.

Then, after a while, the sky completely darkened, and everyone began to fall into a deep sleep.

Tonight, Shereya came as usual, but this time he did not say anything more, but asked:

"Also, do you want to move?"

Xiao also replied: "Sleep." ”

"Understood."

Sherea then left.

The night of the third day of the feast was very quiet, and in Xiao Yi's opinion, nothing happened.

However, it wasn't until the morning of the fourth day of the feast that Xiao Yi knew that last night was not as peaceful as he thought.

Last night, Xi Yoon died.
