Chapter 46: The New Year's Sacrifice

The ink was still the same, and before the rooster crow brought the first rays of dawn, Wang Meng got up early. www.biquge.info He was a little excited, the first opponent was the county middle school competition, he had already achieved good results, and the second opponent was currently tentatively designated as the Fang family of Xuanyun Mansion, although Lao Liu did not say it explicitly, but even the former Lao Liu did not want to easily offend such a family. This is an unknown opponent, however, the total number of masters in the entire Dongping County is not enough for the Fang family to see, and he needs to work harder to become stronger.

He carried a huge stone mill weighing thousands of pounds on his back, ran to the top of the mountain in the face of the biting cold, and immediately adjusted his center of gravity and accelerated his dive down the mountain. There are a lot of low mountains here, and this kind of training can train you to control and use your strength. Of course, from beginning to end, our white lord. only responded with a sneering "hum", and didn't want to pay any more attention.

Wang Meng exercised in his own way, and of course the tools were different. The hundreds of pounds of barbells he used before were completely ineffective, and he thought that there was a stone mill of more than 1,000 pounds in the town, and no one had used it for a long time, so he moved it over to exercise.

After a rough estimate, there has been great progress in strength during this period of time, and it is not difficult to lift a weight of 2,000 catties, and the entire physical fitness has improved a lot. Ordinary beasts rarely have something he can't catch up, he can jump three feet high when he jumps on the spot, and he can split stones with his hand, everything of this kind is incredible, he seems to be improving all the time, and it is an all-round improvement at all levels.

In the end, he rehearsed the movements recorded on the Beast Skin Illustrated Book, because he felt that the gains from cultivating this illustrated book were the greatest. But after all, you can't practice more, and when you practice the second time every day, you always feel a little uncomfortable, so just practice once a day. And often after this practice, I will feel refreshed, and the bones of my body will crackle, and I can't say how happy!

By the time the red sun was born, Wang Meng had been practicing for three hours. A fine layer of sweat condensed on the tip of his nose, and his whole body was steaming.

But Wang Meng didn't practice much, and after dawn, the whole family would make preparations for some years ago, after all, there are still five days left before the New Year.

Sure enough, Wang Dong was dressed up and was about to go to the town's New Year's Festival.

Every year, the New Year's Festival is a major event, please the gods, sacrifice to the sky, and the paper horse dance are all indispensable links, and this year will naturally be no exception.

On this day, the woman's daughter's family is not allowed to go out, and all the rituals are carried out by the man. The mayor of the town is the host, and Wang Dong is the chief secretary.

The temple in the town is probably the grandest building in town. The temple gate alone was as high as a zhang, and it took seven or eight sturdy young men to slowly open the bronze gate.

Looking deeper into the depths, a statue of a god glared at him, making people feel uneasy. This statue has all the hair, the mouth is open and closed, a seven-star sword is about to come out, holding the hilt of the sword with one hand, holding the scabbard with the other, and the step on the foot is about to walk, the whole is lifelike and unforgettable.

"It's ...... Zhong Kui?"

Two voices sounded at the same time, one was said by Wang Meng himself, and the other was in his mind, saying it in vain!

Wang Meng's mind didn't react for a while.

What kind of world is this? Why would someone worship Zhong Kui? Isn't this a mythical character made up from the original world? Why did he appear here? And Bai, this big man who doesn't know where he came from, he was not very surprised or respectful when he heard his tone, he should have known the deity of the god in front of him, at least he must have seen it! That is to say, he will see many mythical characters from the original world in this world? So is this world still real?

He was so full of thoughts that he couldn't help himself. couldn't help but ask, "Do you also know Zhong Kui?"

Bai hadn't spoken since he had lost his words just now, and now Wang Meng replied when he asked, "Of course I know." ”

Wang Meng sorted out his memories and suddenly found that there were many legends in this world, and there were also many mythical characters like before. It's just that the memories in his mind overlap with the memories of this life, and many memories that already exist in his mind are automatically ignored, so he doesn't react at the first time.

I thought of many past events in this world, including the old grandfather who sold Monkey King candy man in the bazaar, Zhong Kui who caught ghosts released by the playmaker who operated the shadow puppet show, and the storyteller who impassionedly told the story of splitting the mountain to save his mother.

This means that there is a connection between this world and the world where you were originally located, and if you can find the reason for the connection, will you still have a chance to go back?

Wang Meng was a little excited, and asked again, "I mean, have you seen Zhong Kui?"

"I haven't seen it. Bai replied coldly.

Of course, Zhong Kui is a well-known immortal even in the fairy world, so naturally no one can see it.

Seeing Wang Meng's teasing face, he didn't know why. But he still mentioned it: "If you want to see him, jump out of this dust and find it yourself!"

"Dust?"

"Otherwise, what do you think!In order to find you, I had to leave my Dharma Body in the original world, and my divine soul was infinitely reduced, so small that it was countless times smaller than this dust, and I also had to bear the divine punishment of the will of this world, and I almost lost this divine soul. ”

"You say the world is just a speck of dust, so will it be more exciting out there?"

"Wonderful or cruel, gorgeous or dark, it's up to you to tell. I'm only responsible for teaching you to get out of this world. Actually......"

"What?"

"Forget it, I shouldn't interfere with your thoughts. You remember the time you promised me, you have fourteen days left. ”

"What?

Wang Meng is dissatisfied, he is most annoyed by this kind of guy who hangs people's appetites, halfway through the words, are you angry?

At this time, the statue of Zhong Kui has been transported to the altar position and the annual sacrifice begins.

The location of the main festival is at the circular stone platform not far from the temple, and the rest and entertainment of the townspeople usually do not borrow this stone platform, which shows its status in the town.

The sacrifices have been placed, and they are still the same, with a huge bull's head being the most eye-catching, and a number of other meats, vegetables and fruits, which fill the entire stone platform.

A special "band" has also been formed, mostly composed of the older generation of the town, some blowing trumpets, some beating gongs, and some playing drums. It's just that the big drum is for a young man to wave, and it smashes on the drum surface again and again, and the sound is passionate and powerful, deafening.

The festival deepened with the intensity of the drums, and Wang Dong was in charge of praying to the gods, reading Zhong Kui's exploits, and attaching a New Year's vision for the coming year's protection.

The last item is related to Wang Meng, the 16-year-old coming-of-age ceremony, which was also held at the last moment of the big sacrifice.

More than 80 town children, including Sun Wen, Sun Wu and Wang Meng, who had just turned 16, were gathered together to receive God's foreshadowing.

The so-called acceptance of God's foreshadowing is divination before God and the calculation of the future.

Soon the first child walked up to the altar and took a stick from the box full of sticks.

He picked up the sign and glanced at it, and said: "The road ahead is dangerous, the journey is bleak, and it is better to stay in the town to farm." ”

Teenagers, who are not curious about the outside world and want to go out and break through. But the evaluation of this lottery has already doomed him to stay in this town for the rest of his life. The fear of God in the townspeople can already influence some of their choices.

Sure enough, the child looked lost and was immediately taken home by his parents. Maybe he can only face the loess with his back to the sky for the rest of his life.

Wang Meng was a little unimpressed, and he did not dare to agree with the so-called God's will. If everything is left to fate, then what's the point of living in this life?

One by one, the children went up, some disappointed, others excited.

"Sun Wen. ”

Finally, it was the turn of the three of them.

"The road ahead is smooth, the journey is prosperous, and it is advisable to get ink from the text. ”

Hearing the front, Sun Wen was still very happy, and then when he heard Congwen making ink, he felt a burst of irritability for no reason, and said straightly: "It is impossible to raise a pen in this life, if I learn more martial arts, it will be almost the same." ”

"Bold! this is God's will, you want to blaspheme?" the old man blew his beard and glared.

Sun Wen rolled his eyes, whether he continued to fight. Mayor Sun also glared at Sun Wen fiercely, regardless of the occasion.

Then came Sun Wu.

"The road ahead is smooth, the journey is prosperous, and it is advisable to practice martial arts. ”

Wang Meng couldn't help but burst out laughing, is this god funny? He couldn't help but suspect that there was really such a great god Zhong Kui who was looking at the current scene and deliberately teasing the two brothers.

Wang Dong glanced over, and Wang Meng restrained a little.

Sun Wu didn't say anything, he bowed respectfully like the old man, and the old man touched his beard with satisfaction and nodded in greeting.

"Wang Meng. ”

Wang Meng didn't think much about it, he went up directly and took a sign, and gave it to the old man without looking at it. Anyway, he doesn't really care about this so-called evaluation.

"This?" the white-bearded old man held the sign in his hand, his eyes confused, turning it over and over.

"What's going on?" didn't unsign for a long time, and Wang Dong was a little puzzled.

"Blank lots? It's impossible! This one has to be checked every year, how can a blank one be mixed in?" the old man was confused.

"Then you don't want to smoke one again?" Wang Dong was a little anxious, after all, God's will had been confirmed countless times before.

"No, anyone can only smoke once in their life!"

"This ......"

Maybe that's God's will. Let's find out later!"

"Okay!" Wang Dong was helpless.

Wang Meng is also calm, he doesn't believe in this, and if he doesn't, he won't have it.

It's just that he didn't hear a disdainful voice in his head: "Hmph! It's a little self-aware, in this world, who can guide him in the future?"
