Chapter 44: The Beheading Sacrifice
As soon as I said this, the faces of the monks changed significantly, and the middle-aged monks led by me immediately reprimanded me: "Little donor, don't talk nonsense here. ”
"This animal is doing this today, because of my Buddha's mercy, the poor monk will not pursue it, please leave quickly!"
"Howler!"
I smiled and took the lame dog in my arms, and then walked out of the temple without looking back.
I walked fast.
Don't dare to be unhappy.
After staying in the temple for a while, I have already determined one thing, that is, this City God Temple is no longer a normal City God Temple, and those monks are not a good thing to touch.
As for the death of the nine.
Nor is it a natural death.
Rather, it is similar to being sacrificed and dying with a severed head.
The main thing is that all nine people seem to have their necks cut off by the same thing at the same time, and those people died without even feeling it before they died.
This is in the sacrificial wine lineage, which is called the decapitation sacrifice!
It is also a type of living sacrifice.
That alone is enough to show that the danger I will face this time is an infinite number of times greater than the previous two times.
I walked for a long time, until I saw a small alley, and I turned into it with the lame dog.
I didn't even notice that I was already sweating profusely after just a few moments.
I leaned against the wall and gasped for breath before I looked at the lame dog and asked, "Did you deliberately take that head in your mouth?" ”
The lame dog whimpered, sort of an answer.
I couldn't help but smile bitterly and sat down on the ground casually.
"Don't do that next time, you'll have to put your life into it if you're not careful."
"Although our purpose is this City God Temple, we have to find out what is going on here, those monks obviously have a problem, and it is better not to let them see us again before this."
The lame dog whimpered again.
That's when I put it on the ground.
Then a voice came.
"This kid is so pitiful."
Then I saw a ten-dollar note fall in front of me, and I looked up for a moment, but it was a woman shaking her head and walking into the distance.
It took me a while to come back to my senses, but I also had an idea in my heart.
I am no different from a beggar now, and I may even look worse than a beggar, not only do my clothes look tattered, but my whole body is even dirty, and if there is a mirror at this time, I guess even I will not recognize myself.
Although it has been seen by some people and those monks before.
But it's not as difficult for me to dress up as close to that temple as the city god, as long as the monks are gone, even if I beg next to the temple, no one will care.
It's a bit of a shame to do that.
But it's also the safest way, even if it's really noticed later, no one can guess my true identity.
But despite my decision, I didn't start acting at once, but took the ten dollars and rewarded myself and the lame dog with a bowl of chaos, and then I squatted in the alley until about eight o'clock in the evening, when I shifted my position.
Before I do that, I have one more thing to say.
That's how beggars really make money!
In one day, I was stunned to make a few hundred dollars.
I don't know if it's because of the generosity of this Baiyun Town, or if I'm lucky.
I can't fix it.
Then again......
I came to the vicinity of the City God Temple in the dark, and there were no onlookers at this time, and at a glance, the nine corpses had turned into nine crimson coffins, which looked very strange in the dim light of the temple.
The monks had disappeared, and there seemed to be only one white-haired old man left in the entire temple, who looked to be seventy or eighty years old, and it was estimated that he was the temple keeper who guarded the City God Temple.
The temple keeper sat at the entrance of the temple, looking lethargic.
But strangely, my proximity caught his attention.
He looked up at me.
At this time, the distance between me and him should be more than ten meters away, he was in the temple, and I was in the corner of the street outside the temple.
I looked at him in the eye.
At that moment, I just felt that he was not simple.
I was about to slip away, but he suddenly beckoned to me, I pointed to myself, and he nodded, sure that he wanted me to pass, I thought about it for a while, and then I walked over.
But I also slipped into the eye.
Explain to the lame dog before you go over.
If this old man wants to do something bad for me, go up and bite him.
Although this dog is lame, I still trust in the ability to bite.
When I came to the old man, I sat down directly, pretended not to be scared at all, and said, "Uncle, what are you calling me to do?" ”
"I've seen you during the day." The old man didn't look at me, but still squinted, looking drowsy.
These words made me stunned for a moment, and I thought about it for a long time but I didn't have the impression of seeing him during the day.
Unless he was in the temple at that time.
But that's normal.
After all, he should be the temple keeper.
Seeing that I didn't speak, the old man continued: "How do you think they died? ”
"I don't know." I said subconsciously.
I don't know what this old man is, so I won't tell him what I think directly.
"There's no need to be nervous, young man."
"I don't have any ill will towards you."
"It's just that in you, I see the shadow of the old man."
"The deceased?" My eyes narrowed slightly.
It's not going to be a godfather again, is it?
But the godfather's age is not as old as him, and it is estimated that the difference is twenty or thirty years old.
But I still smiled and asked, "Could it be that you have seen an elder who looks similar to me, uncle?" ”
"Maybe it's a relative I haven't seen since I was a kid or something."
Hearing this, the old man finally turned his head to look at me, and then said with a smile: "Calculate the age, maybe it's your father." ”
Father......
The corners of my mouth twitched slightly.
Think about it.
I'm not like my godfather.
"No way, I'm not one of these." I shook my head and smiled, "You must be mistaken." ”
The old man laughed, and this time he didn't say more on the topic, but got up and walked to the nine coffins.
"I've been here for decades."
"I thought I could spend this life in peace until I was in peace."
"But I never thought that before I died, such a thing happened."
"Young man."
"Why do you think they died?"
I'm a little helpless.
How do I know this?
I don't have any clue other than being able to determine that the deaths of these nine people were not simple.
I shook my head and said, "I don't know. ”
"I just came here today, and that's what happened."
"If you want to ask, you have to ask those people...... Those masters are. ”
"Beheaded." The old man sighed and said to himself, "Sacrifice a living person to the gods." ”
"For the sake of nothing more than a change of life."
