The village elder who came out quickly became the leader of the people.

It turned out that he was Sun Dahe. Sun Dahe is not actually the village head, but he is very ambitious.

Liu Jiadi, the old man, walked up to Sun Dahe and chatted with him awkwardly:

"Second brother, it turned out to be you. Is your family's situation better? Speaking of the evil sect, your family is making a lot of trouble. One of our children is gone. I heard that this boy had run away to your house. I'm really embarrassed. ”

Sun Dahe didn't have a good face after hearing this, and he said reluctantly:

"Don't talk about the past. Now we should focus on holding a grand ceremony to avoid evil. We can't only have ourselves in our eyes, but also all of our people in the city. ”

There was a middle-aged woman next to Sun Dahe who was covered in golden light and became interested when she heard this, and he happily said to everyone:

"According to my Iron Lotus's judgment. We must perform the sacrificial ritual. Then they buried the pit outside the city. ”

When Tianbao heard this, he became interested, and walked over to the woman who claimed to be the Iron Lotus and said:

"I said, Auntie, why are you sacrificing?

This Iron Lotus aunt has a good temper, although she is not happy, but she endures it. She still had a very kind look on her face, and explained to Tianbao:

"Little brother, how can I explain it to you, you strangers don't understand. Our Vermilion Bird City and the Black Elf City next to it were originally a whole. Later, because it was all split in two. But the ancestors of these two cities, the people who lived in the first place, had harmed a number of officers and soldiers. Unexpectedly, the officers and soldiers became resentful ghosts and kept making trouble. ”

Tianbao was even more puzzled and asked:

"Could it be that these officers and soldiers have disregard for human life and harmed innocent people? Why did they kill them?"

This Iron Lotus aunt nodded and said:

"Roughly as you might guess. At that time, the world was in turmoil, and the people were in dire straits. Therefore, many officers and soldiers are very vicious, and this first group of people, that is, our ancestors, could not bear it anymore, so they resisted, and that's it, there was indeed bloodshed. ”

Tianbao asked curiously:

"So what exactly is your so-called sacrificial ritual? Can you briefly explain that?"

This Iron Lotus aunt nodded and explained very happily:

"To put it simply, we're going to pick two newlywed daughters-in-law and bury them alive, and we're going to fill in the pit by the way. We would throw two chickens into the river and sacrifice to the river god. Finally, we will go to our oldest ancient temple, the Little Children's Temple. It is to offer the delicacies of the mountains and the sea to the little boy to eat. ”

Tianbao was even more puzzled and asked:

"What is the origin of the boy in the Little Children's Temple?"

Aunt Iron Lotus sighed and said:

"This little boy is the son of the second city lord's most heartfelt baby, but after he died, he was constantly wronged, and he always had to make trouble, so he built a temple for him, but he didn't expect it to work, and this custom has been used to this day. Strange to say, this boy is the god with the strongest mana! ”

Tianbao nodded and looked at us, and it dawned on all of us.

The common people of Suzaku Castle especially believe in ghosts and gods. Because there is a pit next to our big tent outside the city, it is particularly evil, so the common people decided to bury this pit.

At dawn on the second day, many people in the city were busy.

Because some families were chosen to give up their homes as restaurants and give them to many people in the city to eat, many families were busy preparing lunch and dinner.

This Liu Jiadi's Sun Dahe family is a matter of course, duty-bound, and busy.

As for the Chen Dakang family, because they were too poor, they didn't take care of it.

But this Chen Dakang's profession is now a fisherman.

I was walking around the city gate when a 6-year-old boy came up to me and said:

"General, do you want to go fishing with me? I'm going to go to Grandpa Chen Dakang's place to have a look. Grandpa Chen Dakang is very powerful. I want to go over and see if you want to come with me. ”

I looked at the little kid, and he sincerely invited me to go with me, but I had nothing to do anyway, so I had to take his hand and go to the river under his guidance.

But after we walked for half a day, I quickly found out how the white fog was in front of me, there was no white fog before, did it suddenly become white fog?

I turned my head behind me and looked in all directions, and it was all covered in white mist, and I suddenly felt as if I was in a large wood.

I was a little dazed, I felt that something was wrong, I looked down at this little child, and I suddenly felt that the expression on this little child's face was so strange and smiling.

I hesitated for a moment, and then slowly asked the child tentatively:

"Little brother, what's your name?

The little brother looked up at me with a smile and said:

"The river is coming soon, Liu Jiadi is my grandfather, and I am his grandson, my name is Xiaolong. "Read

I immediately remembered the rumor that the child of Liu Jiadi's family that people said just now died, and ran to Sun Dahe's house to make trouble. Could it be that the child I am holding hands with now is the legendary child?

Although I was a little nervous, I was not very scared, so I simply pressed down and picked up the child.

He stretched out his hand to show the way, and there was no way that since she meant something, and even asked for me, I still did according to her wishes, so I pretended not to find anything wrong, and continued to walk stupidly.

Sure enough, the child was quite satisfied with me, and he was quite close to me, and after a while, I saw a small stone suddenly appear in front of me, no, it seemed to be a small stone tablet.

I crouched down, and there seemed to be some scribbled writing on the stele.

I reached out and touched the stele, picked off the grass and dirt on it, and took a closer look at what the words were.

It looks like a child's scribble.

But under the cover of graffiti, there are actually deep nicks, which are very upright, with these big characters written on them.

"Sun Xiaolong is buried here for seven months!

At this time, the child in her arms was very aggrieved, and she bowed her head sadly and choked up.

Sure enough, I guessed correctly, and the child said slowly to me while crying:

"At that time, I was doing well in Liu's family, and I would be able to grow up immediately, but someone reported that my child was the most suitable for sacrifice. The only person who helped me was Mrs. Wan, and although he tried to stop it, he was still a step late. I was killed by the people here. It's just a mound of clothes, not my real purpose. ”

I sighed and comforted the little child in my arms:

"Good boy, I will definitely help you reincarnate and reincarnate, and I will also help you eliminate this resentment. Now tell me, what did they do with you, and what happened to you here?"

The kid nodded and explained slowly:

"Vermilion Bird City and Black Jinling City are originally one and the same, but they are divided into two because of the power struggle. The city lord of Vermilion Bird City and his gang fought with the people of Black Jinling City. As a result, he lost. The family members of the deceased were not reconciled, so they often made trouble and engaged in all kinds of evil sabotage. ”

I nodded, it turned out that the truth was like this, the two cities often fought, and casualties were inevitable, and as a result, the families of the deceased in Suzaku City were unwilling.

It turned out to be quite capable, and it was actually able to wreak havoc. That's what happened.

Just listen to the child continue to say slowly:

"That's hurt and frightened a lot of innocent people. The city lord of Vermilion Bird City had no choice but to use the method of sacrifice to appease people's hearts and win over people's hearts, but it really worked, and there was no more evil!"

I looked at the child with pity and said:

"I didn't expect these city lords to sacrifice children and even women for their own rule. It's selfish. It's really vicious, and the lords of these two cities deserve retribution. ”

I didn't expect to say something I shouldn't have said all at once.

Then I would be in trouble, but the child in my arms was very happy, looked at me with hopeful eyes, and said:

"General, I think you are a capable person, and you may be able to completely rescue the people of our two cities. Anyway, if the people above bully us, we should resist. General, if you want, you can kneel here and take a heavy oath, and I will tell you what to do. ”

Although I don't think it's a bit of a trouble to pay attention to it under pressure, I don't know why my brain is in water, so according to what this kid said, I knelt down and raised my hand to swear.

The little child was very happy, clapped his hands, and said to me:

"General, as long as you avenge me, I will be your child in the future. Don't underestimate me, they say I'm a child prodigy. In the future, when you encounter difficulties, I will guide you. Actually, this pig farm is really a very evil place, and I don't want to stay anymore. ”

When the child said this, suddenly, the appearance of another child appeared on his body, and this child was emitting a faint golden light all over his body.

That means that two children overlap into one body.

Although I was surprised, I didn't panic, I didn't scream and lose my share, I calmly said to the child

"Could it be that this glowing child of yours is the child in the temple they call the little boy, that is, the god they are most happy to believe in?"

I didn't expect this glowing little kid to nod, but I didn't expect to verify my guess.

Then I thought very strange in my heart, since it was the god of their highest faith, they sacrificed to him, gave her something to eat, why did this god dislike the people of this city?

The glowing boy slowly explained to me:

"Actually, there's nothing strange about it, they're just using a pretense. In fact, there is no me in my heart at all, and I am not respected at all. It's basically selling dog meat on the head of a sheep. These powerful people take themselves too seriously and regard themselves as gods. That's the truth. ”

After saying that, the glowing little boy disappeared, and the little brother in my arms said to me:

"Just now it was my good brother, and now we are brothers, and my brother often takes care of me. My Sun Xiaolong is my brother's number one protector. General, please take care of our two children no matter what. We must teach us a lesson from the people of Suzaku City. ”

I don't think there's anything to hide, so I just said to the two children:

"Actually, the sister city of Vermilion Bird City is that Jinling City, which has been wiped out by us, and I think it is necessary to tell you. But the capable people who really wiped out Black Jinling City should be the big clock formation. ”

Sure enough, this Sun Xiaolong was stunned.
