A month has passed, and the scars on the people in Pengcheng have been healed, and only some people who have come from other places to seek medical treatment are still coming.

"Shenmu" Lin Yulin has gradually begun to be accepted by the people of Pengcheng, and even if she walks on the street in a dignified manner, it will not cause people to make a fuss.

During this time, Lin Yulin continued to heal the scars of the people, and although outsiders seemed busy, she was happy to immerse herself in it.

As fewer people sought healing, she became bored.

In addition to healing people, Lin Yulin's favorite thing to do is to go shopping.

She walks around the street with a chain leading the giant dog "Mantou", either tasting food or playing with children, and especially likes to listen to books and watch plays.

Although the people of Pengcheng are in awe of it, they have begun to be surprised by it.

In particular, Lin Yulin also has a strong desire to shop, and he wants to buy what he likes, and he is generous and generous, which is very popular with vendors.

So everywhere I went, there were always merchants who shouted politely and enthusiastically at Lin Yulin:

"Lord Shenmu, thank you for healing the scars on the little girl's body, I have fresh pastries here for you to taste!

"Lord Shenmu is coming to my shop, I have new fabrics here to make beautiful clothes, come and take a look! As long as you like it, I can give you a discount!"

"I have a batch of the latest styles of jewelry here, which is the most suitable for you, Lord Shenmu!

......

The only thing that made her unhappy was that Jiang Yuan sent two Star Demon Sea gangs named Han Chao and Yuan He to follow her all day long, which made her annoyed.

"Why are you always following me?

Every day, Lin Yulin had to ask Han Chao and Yuan He this question ten times.

Han Chao, who has a frizzy temperament, has long since decided not to answer her question.

And Yuan He will say seriously every time:

"Lord Shenmu, we have to collect and pay for you. Someone comes to you for a scar treatment, and we have to charge for it. Whenever you buy something, we have to pay for you. This is all the explanation of the Jiang Duo master. ”

Lin Yulin will answer:

"Can't you just leave all the money to me for safekeeping? Follow me again, believe it or not, I'll let the dog bite you!"

At this time, the giant dog steamed bun will turn his head very cooperatively, grinning and roaring low at the two of them.

Han Chao and Yuan He were really afraid of the giant dog steamed bun at the beginning, but they ignored it after a long time.

They have begun to understand that Lin Yulin has a fierce mouth, but his heart is not bad. Won't really let this terrifyingly big dog bite.

At the same time, they will not agree to hand over the money to Lin Yulin, let alone leave.

Master Jiang Helm had told him that Lin Yulin must not be allowed to leave the sight of the two, let alone allow her to go out of the city.

Lin Yulin also had nothing to do with these two guys who didn't eat soft and hard, she snorted coldly:

"If you love it, follow it, I'm going to listen to the storytelling!"

Han Chao hurriedly said:

"Lord Shenmu, the festival is about to begin, so please don't run around. ”

Lin Yulin turned around and asked curiously:

"Fire Demon...... Brother Jiang Yuan also told me today that he wanted me to participate in some 'sacrifice'. What the hell is this, is it fun?"

Yuan He opened his mouth and replied:

"This is one of the two important festivals of winter in Mujai-gun, and every time winter begins, the festival is held to pray that the days will not become shorter and the nights will not be longer. And now in the deepest season of winter, it is necessary to sacrifice. The so-called sacrifice is to sacrifice to the ghosts, praying that in the longest day of the night, the demons will not harm people. ”

Han Chao followed with a half-bluff and half-added:

"It's a lot of fun, Lord Shenmu, when the time comes, you will stand beside Lord Jiang Helm, it will be majestic!"

Yuan He also nodded and said:

"The people who can preside over the sacrifice are all the people with the highest prestige in Pengcheng. Now the most prestigious person in Pengcheng is Lord Jiang Helm, followed by Lord Shenmu. This is the supreme glory and the love of the people of Pengcheng for you. ”

Lin Yulin blinked, quite moved. She said:

"But Brother Jiang Yuan told me to just stand on the stage at that time, and I don't need to say anything and don't do anything, it's not like a piece of wood...... I seem to be wood...... Is that really fun?"

Yuan He smiled:

"The festival is just a ritual, after which the whole city will start to revel, there will be dragon and lion dances, juggling performances, and many foreign vendors will come to sell all kinds of objects. ”

When Lin Yulin heard this, his mouth was already smiling from ear to ear:

"Then let's get over there!

Immediately, Lin Yulin took the steamed buns and ran towards the high platform in the city square.

Han Chao and Yuan He also had to follow.

None of them noticed that after the two of them left, a demon and a dog, a black-robed man came out of the deep alley on the side of the street staring at Lin Yulin's back.

Judging by the figure, this black-robed man seems to be a woman.

The peculiarity was that her whole body was shrouded in a black robe, a very low hood, a black veil that was impermeable, and even her hands were covered with gloves, and not an inch of skin was exposed.

The mysterious black-robed woman hesitated for a moment and began to follow in the direction that Lin Yulin left.

......

The high platform that was originally built for Lin Yulin to heal the people has now been transformed into a powerful altar for sacrifice.

Countless people crowded around the altar, shoulder to shoulder, crowded. The surrounding vendors are constantly shouting and shouting, and the sound of gongs and drums is endless, and it is very lively.

People's eyes are gathered on the altar, where there are three sheep, three pigs, three stones, incense candles, wine liquor, cotton silk and other sacrificial offerings, incense candles and green smoke.

With the sound of firecrackers, the sacrifice began.

The mysterious black-robed woman made her way through the crowd and approached the altar, her gaze searching for her target beneath the veil.

She doesn't care about the sacrifice, she just wants to find the sister she wants to find - the tree demon Lin Yulin.

And this black-robed woman is the princess of Youyue who infiltrated Pengcheng.

The sacrifice was carried out for a while, and the surrounding people suddenly cheered and stirred, and shouted excitedly towards the altar:

"Lord Jiang Helm! Lord Shenmu!"

Amid the cheers and shouts of the people, Princess Youyue raised her head and looked at the altar.

I saw Jiang Yuan and Lin Yulin, who were dressed in full costumes, walking up to the altar and starting to salute, and all the people returned the salute.

Princess Youyue saw Jiang Yuan, the powerful man, and he seemed to have discovered himself as well, and glanced towards him and frowned slightly.

And Lin Yulin was standing behind Jiang Yuan, she stared at the boiling crowd under the altar with big eyes and excitement, her face was happy and joyful.

Just when Princess Youyue was worried about being discovered by Jiang Yuan, Jiang Yuan didn't pay attention to Princess Youyue in the crowd, he was already going through the sacrificial procedure, and began to recite the sacrificial text aloud in front of the people of the city:

"In the cold of January, the helmsman Jiang Yuan was entrusted by the people of Pengcheng to sacrifice the demons and ghosts in the county. Under the emperor, after the earth. There are no people, and there are all demons. The way of people and ghosts, although the light is different, the reason is one. Shang Nian has no demons and ghosts in the dark, he used to be a living people, and he died for unknown reasons.

During this period, there were those who were wounded by the blades, those who died by thieves by fire and water, those who were forced to die by taking money, those who were forced to die by taking their wives and concubines, those who were killed by beasts and poisonous insects, those who died of epidemics due to natural disasters, those who died of hunger and freezing, those who died in battle, those who hanged themselves because of danger, those who were crushed to death by the collapse of walls and houses, and those who had no children after death.

These demons have either died in the last generation or in the present life. or the soldiers are disturbed and migrated to other places, or the people have been without their sacrifices for a long time. The name was lost for a while, and the ceremony was unheard of.

These demons and ghosts have no place to turn their deaths, and their spirits have not dispersed, and they have scattered into yin spirits. Or leaning on the grass and trees, or as a monster. Wailing under the stars and moon, groaning in the wind and rain. There is no return, falling and sinking, and the intention hangs and looks at the sacrifice. Speaking of this, pity its misery, so there is a division in the world, and enjoy the sacrifice on time.

Set up an altar in the city, prepare livestock to cook rice, and sacrifice to the spirits of demons and ghosts in the county, and they do not come to enjoy this sacrifice. After enjoying the sacrifice, all the people in my county, the demons and ghosts will not harm them! Otherwise, when the poor and the poor fall to the Yellow Spring, I will eat your torso, relieve your flesh, and suck your lungs and intestines!

Zhao Bao is so, Shang Fang!"

After the recitation of the sacrificial text, Jiang Yuan began to offer incense.

The festival also began to reach its climax, and the people flocked to the crowd, which made Princess Youyue's vision obstructed.

In the chaos, Princess Youyue saw Jiang Yuan take Lin Yulin down to Litan, and they took the carriage and began to leave.

Anxious, Princess Yuyue squeezed out of the crowd and began to chase after the carriage.

The streets are already getting more and more lively, with firecrackers and gongs and drums constantly ringing, and the streets are full of vendors and stalls from all over the world.

Princess Youyue followed the carriage all the way, and finally came to the outside of the Jiang Mansion.

Outside the gate, Han Chao and Yuan He were already waiting.

As Princess Youyue approached, Han Chao stepped forward and said unkindly:

"Girl, my lord is invited. ”

Princess Youyue didn't say anything, she happily followed Han Chao into the Jiang Mansion.

Passing through the corridor pavilion, she came to the outside of the practice room like a large warehouse. Han Chao stopped here, stretched out his hand and gestured a "please" gesture at Princess Youyue inside.

Princess Youyue paused to look at the gloomy practice room for a while, and then walked in without looking back.

In the practice room, Jiang Yuan was already waiting inside.

He made Lin Yulin make such a big move in Pengcheng, and he knew that he would definitely be able to attract Princess Youyue. The matter between him and Princess Youyue must always be resolved.

Jiang Yuan was the only one in the entire practice room, and he looked at Princess Youyue who had moved in with his hands and sneered:

"Princess Youyue, it's been a long time since I've seen you and come here unharmed. Huh, your breath ......."

Jiang Yuan sensed Princess Youyue's strangeness in an instant.

This demon ghost's aura was already very weak, just like an ordinary demon ghost, far less strong than the last time Jiang Yuan saw her.

Even Jiang Yuan faintly felt that the ghost qi on Princess Youyue's body was about to be unable to condense and disperse.

Princess Yueyue took off her hood and removed the veil from her face in the dimly lit room, revealing a cold face:

"This is the consequence of not eating people, once the demon eats people, it can't stop, otherwise its strength will continue to decrease, and it will become weaker and weaker. In the end, there will only be one result, and that is to lose one's soul. ”
