Chapter 375, the sacrifice is rich and attracts ghosts
The words say:
A tree of bees and butterflies is blooming, and Xie Yan has returned from the third spring curtain. Things have never been killed, and since ancient times, they have been extremely declining.
Love is like rain, love is like moss, and the north wind blows snow and dust. Thousands of things are the same, and endless people's hearts are sad.
- Small words to send "Partridge Heaven".
Seeing the disappointment on Lu Sanya's face, the city lord Begonia immediately smiled:
"Fairy Lu's sincerity is enough to move heaven and earth - don't be disappointed, no one on our side knows, but I will guide you to a place, and if you ask lightly there, you will definitely be able to inquire!"
When Lu Sanya heard this, he immediately asked: "Ask the Lord of Qiu City, where is it going, how can you inquire with a light question?"
"Fairy Lu is a little restless, after Halloween, is it okay for Qiu to personally send Fairy Lu there?"
Lu Sanya was a little dissatisfied, and Li Shijian sent a message at the right time:
"Senior Nephew Lu, when I was in Yangguan Town, I said that I secretly peeked at them to exorcise ghosts, and now it seems that whether it is the Lord of Qiucheng, Master Yang of Yangguan Town, Master Guan, or Master Baiyuan here, they are all the same idea - this is to pull you to help the fist, for fear that after saying it, you will turn around and leave, and you will not watch the battle to help the fist. β
Lu Sanya comprehended, and also replied with the Divine Sense Transmission Method at that time: "Uncle Li, you mean that I promised them - I'll ask after Halloween, right?"
"Yes, it's useless for you to be anxious now, if you don't agree to watch the battle and help the boxing, he will definitely not say it, and we should not use force. β
Talking with the Divine Sense Communication Method here, the Lord of Qiu City over there saw that a trace of dissatisfaction on Lu Sanya's face disappeared, and he added another sentence: "Fairy Lu, as long as you are willing to watch the battle, then after Halloween, since Qiu Mou said that he would personally send you there, he will definitely do it, and he will not break his promise." β
Lu Sanya smiled and said, "Okay, City Lord Lu, let's make up our minds!"
"A word is a certainty!, Fairy Lu, please rest assured!"
ββAt this time, in the courtyard, the masters and newly selected disciples from the branches of each town have been registered, and the person in charge came to report to the lord of the Bai Academy, and the master of the Bai Yuan waved his hand and ordered to "assemble", and when the people in the courtyard were surging in two times, after a while, the two teams stood in two places-
The first brigade in the east is the masters from the branches of each town, and the total number is only 120, and the first brigade in the west is the newly selected disciples from the outer court, with a total number of 600 people, and there is a vacant alley in the middle.
The master of the Nabai Courtyard stood up, and after speaking, the leaders of the outer courtyard ran over, ran down the alley to the front of the queue, took the roll call with their manuals, and led all the new disciples to the disciple training place of the outer courtyard.
There was another group of disciples, with a total of 1,200 people, running into the arena and dividing them into 60 columns, each with 20 people; this group of disciples, all of them were in the realm of the spiritual path, the lowest was also the first level of the spiritual path, and the highest was the third level of the spiritual path; in each column, the cultivation realm was a combination of high and low, and the overall strength was comparable.
One hundred and twenty masters, at this time, according to the order of the Qiu City Lord and the Bai Yuan Lord, each divided two masters to lead a column of twenty disciples, and after the roll call, they gave a salute to the city lord and the courtyard master, and turned around and walked out of the outer courtyard.
The sub-core figure of the master of the Nabai Courtyard took the initiative to explain to Lu Sanya that the master of the original branch led twenty people to station at each branch in preparation for exorcism.
After this group of people left, another group of people came to the courtyard, and these people were the disciples of the inner courtyard, and the cultivation realm was all third-order spiritual paths, with a total number of eight hundred people, divided into two teams.
Li Shijian, Xue Xiaomei, and Lu Sanya saw that the city lord and the courtyard master were much more polite to these disciples, and asked the four hundred people on the left to protect the main sacrificial points in the city, and the other four hundred people were responsible for patrolling and liaison.
When Li Shijian, Xue Xiaomei, and Lu Sanya saw it, they all had a question mark in their hearts: How many ghost cultivators came to steal food sacrifices and blessings? How could it be like a military operation?
......
Early the next morning, but listening to the sound of bells and drums everywhere in Daning City, all the people in the city, every household has offered the ancestral shrine, the air is rich in the fragrance of all kinds of meat, and there is incense and candle smoke that smokes people's eyes.
The master of the Bai Courtyard had already explained to Lu Sanya, and Li Shijian and Xue Xiaomei also listened to it clearly: It turned out that this Halloween Festival was in the morning, from the middle to the end of the morning, it was a folk sacrifice, and it was a time for the residents of the city and countryside to worship their ancestors.
In the morning, when the residents were sacrificing, the lord of the Bai Courtyard specially took Lu Sanya to walk around the people on the outskirts of the city, and watched the situation of the folk sacrifices.
Li Shijian and the three of them listened to the explanation of the master of the Bai Academy: The situation in each town is also similar, the little ghost cultivators who came in the morning are all very low in cultivation, and they are desperate, and the masters and disciples of the towns and branches only need to fly and patrol against the wind and sword, and take out the sound of the golden bell palm and the drum fist to shake it, and those little ghost cultivators will automatically flee!
After the morning sacrifice, at noon the city is full of festivals, and the Ghost Festival is also a festival, and it must also be celebrated, and every household takes out the blessings of the previous year to enjoy;
At these two hours, the city lord's mansion on behalf of the whole city of Daning City to worship heaven and earth, and sacrifice to Mingzong Tianzun, each town branch also to sacrifice; this sacrificial ceremony is very grand, the sacrifices and blessings are also very rich, those who steal food are willing to cultivate ghosts, also come at this time, the task of exorcising ghosts, at this time is extremely important!
Without going into any gossip, I just said that in the afternoon of Halloween, the guards of the City Lord's Mansion of Daning City, as well as the elite disciples of the inner and outer courtyards of the martial arts, all took action, patrolling patrols, sentry guards, and running letters, it was also a very strange tense atmosphere in the solemnity.
The master of the Bai Courtyard had already arranged for Li Shijian and his wife, saying that since they were mortals who had never cultivated, they should stay and rest in the Martial Cultivation Academy, and not participate in the exorcism.
Lu Sanya naturally disagreed, and at the same time, she secretly felt funny in her heart: Where is my Senior Uncle Li and Senior Uncle Xue who is a mortal who has never cultivated? Haha, you have all looked away!
However, Lu Sanya didn't say anything, only said: "I have my own way to bring my two mortal friends, and it will not affect the exorcism action." β
The city lord and the courtyard master repeatedly explained that they would encounter danger, but Lu Sanya insisted again and again, and Li Shijian and his wife also said, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid." β
Seeing that Lu Sanya insisted, the Lord of Qiucheng and the Lord of Baiyuan had no choice but to let Li Sijian and his wife follow Lu Sanya, but they secretly instructed the two disciples to let them follow Lu Sanya and the three of them, and once they made a move, they just took Li Lanjian and his wife aside, so as not to mistake Fairy Lu to deal with the ghost cultivator.
ββSpeaking of the official large-scale sacrifice, Li Shijian and his wife followed behind Lu Sanya, Lu Sanya was accompanied by the city lord and the lord of the Bai courtyard in that autumn, and when they came to the square in front of the city lord's mansion, they saw that on the square in front of the city lord's mansion, a high platform rose from the ground, volleying clouds into the sky.
There was a huge offering table on the platform, and a cart full of offerings was carried up to the high platform, and the huge offering table was piled up.
On the north side of the huge offering table, a very large sign was erected, and on it was a portrait.
The guards of the City Lord's Mansion and the elite disciples were surrounded by scattered soldiers from far and near, all of them were in strict formation.
Lu Sanya couldn't help but say, "It turns out that your sacrifice is so rich, no wonder those ghost cultivators covet it!"
Li Shijian saw it clearly, this portrait was not much different from what he saw when he was in the Nine Heavens World, the same thing, but he saw that the painting was a dragon hovering, the dragon's head was high, the upper body was like a person standing upright, and in the two dragon claws, the left paw was holding a round of red sun, and the right paw was holding a round of bright moon.
The difference is that there is another person in this portrait, the painting is quite faint, if you look closely, this person is obviously riding on the dragon's head, I saw that he was wearing a beanie octagonal hat, wearing the Mingzong Bagua Xuanji robe, his feet were wearing a cloud worry-free shoes, but his eyebrows and eyes were blocked by a dragon horn, and he couldn't see it.
Li Shijian saw it at a glance, and said in surprise: Sure enough, it is the portrait of the ancestor of the founding sect of Mingzong, since I am a disciple of Mingzong, how can I see it and not worship it?
At that time, on the stage, there was the city lord begonia sacrifice, first sacrifice to heaven and earth, and then sacrifice to the ancestors;
Under the stage, Li Shijian bowed his hand, although he did not kowtow at the same time as the city lord begonia on the stage, but he also saluted in the same pace.
The two disciples who were in charge of keeping an eye on him, although they were standing with their hands down, they were also distracted to pay attention to Li Shijian and his wife, and when they saw Li Shijian's actions at this time, they were all surprised:
This mortal who has never cultivated is really funny, which ancestor are you worshipping? The ancestor of our Mingzong founding sect, since there should be our Mingzong disciples to worship, this mortal surnamed Li probably believes in our Mingzong very much, right? Haha, our Mingzong is not a cultivator of willingness, where do mortals need to worship? Well, this surnamed Li is about a self-inflicted mortal!
At this time, the sacrificial situation of the towns outside Daning City will not be said here, only that with the sacrificial ceremony on the high platform in front of the city of Daning unfolded step by step, around Daning City, there has been a sound of shouting on the city wall, and in the air, there are gusts of yin wind circling.
Obviously, this is the wishing power ghost cultivator who steals the blessings of the sacrifices!
On the high platform, the sacrifice is still going on, the gust of wind has reached the side of the stage, at this time it is the beginning of the lanterns, and the thick incense candle flame of the bucket on the high platform is blown to the ground and is about to be extinguished.
On all sides of the high platform, there are ghost cultivators who have already appeared, and they are ping-pong with the guards and elite disciples - obediently, this is clearly a robbery, where can it be called stealing?
Li Shijian, Xue Xiaomei and Lu Sanya saw that the people watching the ceremony at this time were far away and moved aside, and they were not surprised, they just stared at the altar intently, watching the sacrificial ceremony, and they were not surprised by the fight.
Under the high platform, the people who had nowhere to watch the ceremony sang in unison: "Dao Mingzun!
On the high platform, there was a fight all around, but the sacrifice in the middle was carried out step by step and meticulously.
Suddenly, another gust of wind blew, and a ghost cultivator shouted: "Old neighbor, you sacrifice every year, and that pious will is useless to you, why are you reluctant to give it to me?"
This is a great ghost cultivator of the eighth order of the Spirit Dao, and it seems that it is also the key object of this Daning City's precautions during the sacrifice!
This eighth-order spiritual path ghost cultivator arrived, it was overwhelming all the immortal cultivators present, and the ghost cultivators everywhere appeared in the yin wind, and they swooped straight at the countless sacrifices and blessings on the altar with their teeth and claws!
At this time, the master of the Bai Courtyard shouted loudly the ritual steps while resisting this ghost cultivator - of course he couldn't stop it.
The city lord begonia Huo Ran turned around and raised his hand to attack the ghost claw handed over by the ghost cultivator! The ghost claw was very flexible, and it went around it, so that he could catch the sacrifice, and he could only hear a clear voice: "The old lady broke your claws!"
But it was Lu Sanya who attacked! Lu Sanya had to be entrusted by others, the so-called "entrusted by people, loyal to people"; Lu Sanya naturally did not allow the ghost claws to touch the sacrificial blessings, according to the Qiu City Lord and the Bai Yuan Lord, once the ghost claws were stained with the blessings, the blessings would be greatly reduced - this blessing, after the completion of the sacrifice, but to be distributed to thousands of households in the city, how could the ghost cultivators be allowed to be involved in blasphemy?
Lu Sanya is a seventh-order spiritual cultivator, one level lower than this ghost cultivator, but one more person to deal with this ghost cultivator always has a little more strength, and something is better than nothing, there is a saying that is rough and not pulling, farting adds a touch of wind; not to mention that Lu Sanya is a master, in the eyes of the lord of Bai Yuan and the lord of Qiu City, he is always a head stronger than himself!
Lu Sanya's move, isn't it just a head stronger? She has the causal chain in her hand that Li Wenshan specially refined, with this nine-grade spiritual weapon, as soon as Lu Sanya makes a move, the ghost eats a big "turtle" sent by Lu Sanya when he cultivates!
Ghost Xiu exclaimed: "Who are you? Begonia! I didn't expect you to invite a master to watch the battle this year!"
"Hahahaha!" "City Lord Begonia laughed: "Black bone skin, you old ghost is deflated, right? With Fairy Lu here, don't you have a dream fart this year!"
"You can make a fart into a dry child, and I won't be here next year! Hmph, it's obviously a blessing full of wishes, but you actually say it's a fart!"
After listening to what the ghost cultivator said, Begonia naturally shut up, and the lord of the Bai Courtyard shouted: "The final procedure, please pray for the Lord of Qiucheng - collect the ββ!"
"Wait!"
