084 Heboyi (1st Shift)
"I see! What's going on with that man?"
Jin Wuzhi nodded suddenly, stretched out his hand and pointed to the ground in front of the crowd, where there was a young man in his twenties, his eyes were closed, his face was pale with a faint cyan, and his chest was slightly undulating.
"His name is Erzhuzi, and he usually likes to go down to the river to fish, and he has always been safe and sound! Today, the boat was overturned by a gust of wind, and he almost drowned, and he is still unconscious! Alas! He usually disrespects Hebo, and this is punished by Hebo! Our whole village is begging Hebo to forgive him for his sins while worshipping Hebo!"
Elder Meng shook his head and sighed, his kind expression with compassion.
"Hmm!" Jin Wuzhi nodded, looked at the statue of Hebo in the temple, and asked: "Dare to ask Meng Miaozhu, where does this Hebo come from?" Oh, I am new to the city, and I am not very familiar with the Hebo Water God, if I want to know more, I can go back and worship!"
Hearing this, Meng Xiang's face changed slightly, the smile on his face froze, and when he heard Jin Wuzhi's explanation, his face softened slightly, but it was also a lot colder than just now!
"Young Master has a heart! He Bo is the river god of this Xiaoqing River, protecting the wind and rain for thousands of miles, and the abundant harvest of grains, and not being harmed by demons and ghosts! Of course, if someone is disrespectful, Hebo will also rain down the wrath of thunder, and at least he will be punished with a small punishment, just like those two pillars;
"I see!Then I have to tell the town lord when I go back, and call on the residents of Qinghe Town to worship Hebo and protect my Qinghe Town!" Jin Wuzhi suddenly realized.
"In this way, the little old man has thanked the young master!"
"Since it's okay, then we'll take our leave!"
"Little Lao'er still has to serve Hebo, so he won't be sent away!"
......
The last rays of afterglow vanished into the sky, and the sky and the earth turned into darkness.
"Young master, I think this Xiaomeng Village is very suspicious!"
Walking out of Xiaomeng Village, Huang Yi looked back at the quiet village with a solemn face and said.
"Tell me about it!"
Jin Wuzhi looked thoughtfully in the direction of Hebo Temple, and there was a different color flashing in his eyes.
"Those villagers are not normal, whether they are men, women and children, they are like fools, and they are very xenophobic, I just tried to call out a few people to question, but no one paid attention to me, even if I pulled it up, I didn't say a word, just knelt on the ground desperately. This is not the reaction of a normal person!
Later, the old man of Meng Xiang came out of the temple, he was normal, but his mouth was very tight. I asked him about the attack by the water ghosts, and he only said that outsiders were talking nonsense! I asked him what was going on with the villagers, and he said that during the worship period, everyone needs to be pious and not disturbed by outsiders!"
"I think this Meng Xianglao is the most suspicious!"
Huang Yi told the situation again, and finally suspected Meng Xianglao!
"Hmm!"
Jin Wuzhi nodded. These were already the things he had discovered when he observed! and his doubts were even greater!
"In this case, we will rest in the woods in front of us for a while, and wait until late at night, and then go and explore Xiaomeng Village!
He pointed to the woods in front of him and led the way to gallop his horse!
......
In the middle of the night, a full moon rises into the sky, dyeing the earth with a layer of silver glow!
Jin Wuzhi and Huang Yi quietly entered Xiaomeng Village! The two of them did not stop, but walked directly through the village and headed towards the Hebo Temple! Soon they came to a few dozen meters away, lurking in the grass and looking at the Hebo Temple.
A few torches were lit at the entrance of the Hebo Temple, illuminating the surroundings.
The night wind blew by, blowing the torches and shaking endlessly! The temple flickered as if a demon had descended into the world!
The villagers of Xiaomeng Village still knelt in place, bowing silently!
"Sure enough, there is a problem!"
Jin Wuzhi said secretly in his heart. These people have been kneeling since the afternoon, but none of them have shouted tired, and even the three-year-old doll and the seventy-year-old man have been silently bowing! This is very abnormal!
His gaze swept over the big tripod and found that the three pillars of high incense in the big ding had almost burned to the ground!
At this time, there was a soft sound, and a person walked out of the temple, it was the old man of Meng Township!
"Bring it in!"
Old Meng Xiang shouted with a cold face.
Among the people who knelt down, two people stood up, walked to the front without saying a word, and lifted the second pillar lying on the ground! This second pillar is also strange, it was dying when it came during the day, and it is still the same as before, only one breath is left, that is, it is not dead!
The two of them placed the two pillars in front of the idol in the temple, and at some point there was a long table, and the two pillars were placed on the long table!
Meng Xiang suddenly pulled out a sharp knife and slashed it into the heart of the two pillars, the two pillars twitched violently, and then relaxed, obviously dead.
Huang Yi's expression moved slightly, and he was about to rush out, but he was grabbed by Jin Wuzhi! He looked at Jin Wuzhi in puzzlement, but saw Jin Wuzhi shaking his head firmly, and motioned him to look down!
Jin Wuzhi has its own purpose. Anyway, going out at this time won't save the young man, but will startle the snake, it's better to continue to observe, maybe there will be surprises.
Then, Meng Xianglao put down the sharp knife, stretched out his hand, and escaped a slightly beating heart from the heart of the second pillar! Blood spurted out from the wound, and soon stained the long table red, and the thick bloody qi emitted with the night wind!
Elder Meng Xiang respectfully placed his heart at the foot of the statue, and then walked backwards out of the temple! Kneeling at the front of the crowd, he shouted, "Please go to the gods!" Then he fell deep on the ground and did not look up again!
"Please Hebo God!"
The crowd, which had been silent, also shouted loudly, and fell to their knees one after another, no longer moving!
There was silence all around, except for the sound of the night breeze blowing and the sound of the waves in the Xiaoqing River!
"Hmm!
Jin Wuzhi was stunned for a moment, the sound of waves in his ears was not too much, and it seemed to be getting louder and louder! He turned his head to look, only to see a huge wave surging on the water surface in the distance, several meters high, rushing towards the temple!
"Huh?"
His face turned cold, and he squinted his eyes, and saw that Huang Yi was about to stand up and remind those villagers to get out of the way!
If these villagers could wake up, and still use you to do a lot of trouble, he would have gone to save people by himself! Besides, judging by the performance of the old man Meng Xiang, this huge wave is likely to cause no harm to the villagers!
Jin Wuzhi stretched out a hand and quickly pressed it on Huang Yi's shoulder! Huang Yi immediately felt a big mountain pressing down, let alone standing up, he couldn't even breathe! His face changed miserably, only then did he know that the cultivation of the young master beside him was far from his expectations, and this method was at least a senior master of the inner strength stage!
It wasn't until his face was red and his neck was thick that Huang Yi felt the pressure lessened a little, although his body couldn't move, at least he could breathe! At the same time, there was a mosquito-like sound in his ears!
"Don't move! keep an eye on those villagers, they'll be fine!"
