Chapter 64: Invite General Lei
Generally speaking, it is very cumbersome to hold a sacrifice to invite the gods, not only to find a scholar with both ability and integrity to write the sacrifice, but also to find a virtuous and respected clan elder or a kind person in the village and county, read the sacrifice, in addition to the need to prepare a variety of sacrifices.

The three animals are indispensable, and there are also cumbersome rituals such as bathing and burning incense, children holding flags, and so on.
It can be said that if you want to be as grand as you want, you have to be as grand as you want.
When sincerity arrives, you can invite the gods to solve your problems.
If there is not enough sincerity, maybe you will not be able to invite the gods, but it will bring great disaster.
At present, the conditions in Dahu Village are difficult, the people are embarrassed, and the water demons have been making trouble here for several years, making the life of the villagers who rely on the mountains and water more and more difficult.
Naturally, it is impossible to ask the gods to be so extravagant.
Moreover, even if there were conditions, Li Xiuyuan couldn't wait for ten days and half a month to prepare.
It's all simple, I hope a certain god can understand it.
However, Li Xiuyuan has no confidence in his heart when it comes to inviting gods, he has dealt with ghosts, but he has never dealt with gods, but he has heard the master say that if he invites gods, the chance of success is very big, and the gods in the sky are still very willing to sell their face.
The reason is naturally related to one's own identity.
"The hour is near, burn incense and pray. Li Xiuyuan looked at Shi Chen and said suddenly.
"Quick, all kneel, all kneel and pray. ”
The old village chief hurriedly greeted the villagers at this time, and they all knelt down to worship the sky, praying that a god would come today to destroy the black fish demon for his Dahu Village.
At this moment, the villagers, men, women, and children all knelt down, and their mouths were full of words.
Even the little pole of the beggar boy knelt on the ground respectfully, praying in his mouth and looking at Li Xiuyuan with wide eyes, looking at the sky, as if he was very much looking forward to inviting the gods in the sky to eliminate demons.
At the moment, it can be said that everyone is united and full of sincerity.
As the incense had been lit, for a while, the fragrance was permeating the surroundings, and the vicinity of the sacrificial table was even more smoky.
This time, all the incense and candles in Dahu Village were contributed, and all the large and small incense sticks were inserted around, because there was no place on the table.
Wait until a few boys in the village have lit all the incense.
Li Xiuyuan walked to the sacrificial table and began to chant the sacrificial text.
"When the day is auspicious, the heavens and the earth are opened, the intention is to burn incense, the smoke is heavy, and God will come......"
At this moment, everyone was silent, the entire Dahu Village was very quiet, only Li Xiuyuan's voice echoed in the air, and the voice gradually spread with the breeze, it seemed that it could be heard everywhere in the entire Dahu Village, and his voice could be received even on the big lake in front of him.
Quiet, peaceful, sunny and windy.
Only Li Xiuyuan was reading the prayer to the gods, and this prayer to the gods could not be read only once, otherwise the gods who passed by would not have time to hear it if they read it too quickly.
Recite it at least nine times.
And just when Li Xiuyuan was asking for a sacrifice, the depths of the big lake, under the reef.
A huge black fish crawled in the reef cavern without moving, most of its body buried in the mud, only half of its head exposed.
This black fish is covered with scales, and its mouth is also full of sharp teeth, hideous and terrifying, not at all like a black fish to get the way, but like a crocodile a little more, but above the eyes of this black fish, there is a wolf tooth arrow deeply inserted, the arrow is not half of it, the injury is very deep, and the black fish also seems to be a little depressed because of this injury.
It's a demon, but it's also an injured demon.
As the sound of inviting the gods echoed on the lake and the mountain, the black fish that had fallen asleep seemed to hear this sound and suddenly opened its remaining eye.
There was a bit of human surprise in those oily eyes.
"Whoa~!"
Suddenly, its huge body swayed, and the nearby lake rolled up an undercurrent, and it immediately left the nest and swam towards the lake.
At the moment when it rolled up the silt, you could vaguely see the broken human bones in the mud, the skeletons were tumbling and shaking, and there were all kinds of tattered clothes nearby, and in the muck of these bones, half of the small bamboo poles that had been broken were buried deep in it, only as the silt rolled, a little trace was revealed, but it was soon covered by the tumbling silt.
After a while.
After the sacrificial text was recited, everything was still the same as before, and nothing special happened.
Li Xiuyuan looked up at the sky.
There are no clouds, a blue sky, and a gentle breeze.
The weather was good, but that's not what he wanted.
"I hope you don't disappoint. Li Xiuyuan secretly thought in his heart, and threw the finished sacrificial text into the brazier in front of him to burn.
Under the flames, the written memorial was immediately burned, and at the same time, it was strange that a puff of green smoke came out when his memorial was burning.
The green smoke fused with the incense near the sacrificial table, and finally turned into a straight smoke that slowly rose to the sky, and finally disappeared at the end of the line of sight, so that it was not clear where the smoke finally drifted.
Li Xiuyuan watched the green smoke disappear, and he couldn't help but feel a little hope in his heart.
He knew that this puff of green smoke carried his sacrificial message into the air, and at the same time, it also condensed the sincere request of the hundreds of villagers in Dahu Village.
But if any god passing by takes this incense, then it is bound to come here.
However, Li Xiuyuan was worried that no god passed by here at this moment, or that there were gods passing by here but set off sacrifices, and there was too little incense and refused to manifest his spirit.
It is precisely because of this that this is why the sacrifice to the gods is held for several days, because of the solemnity, the gods can feel it, and because of the thickness, the incense can touch the hearts of the gods, and the gods in the sky are willing to show up to save them.
The green smoke drifted away, and it was a long time.
It's business as usual, nothing happens.
"Li, Li Gongzi, this invitation to God will not fail. The old village chief is the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, seeing that everything is silent, he can't help but look at Li Xiuyuan.
Li Xiuyuan frowned: "It seems that the first time I asked the gods was a failure, but I also wrote a piece of sacrifice, try it again, maybe there is still a chance." ”
With that, he took out the second prayer from the table.
This second ritual is the same as the first one, it is all about thundering and reprimanding demons, but the only difference is that this second one is written with his blood mixed with ink, with his imprint, which also represents his identity.
The reason why I wrote two articles was also because I was afraid that the first article would fail, so I made extra preparations.
But just as he was about to cast the second prayer to the gods into the brazier, another villager from Dahu Village pointed to the heavenly road in surprise.
"Look, there's a big chunk of stuff flying over. ”
What a big lump?
Do you speak like that?
Li Xiuyuan glanced at the villager with a strange expression, and then looked up at the sky.
But I saw that above the sky in the distance, a cloud condensed together, slowly drifting towards here.
In a cloudless sky, this cloud layer is particularly striking and weird, out of place with everything around it.
"Boom~!"
There was a thunderous roar in the clouds, which spread throughout the Great Lake and the Great Lake Village.
"Great, we've got Thor. ”
"Thor has appeared, quick, quickly kowtow to Thor and beg him, begging Thor to help us get rid of demons in Dahu Village. ”
"I beg the god of thunder in heaven to have mercy on the people of our Great Lake Village, and help us get rid of the monsters in the Great Lake. ”
The old village chief suddenly became frightened, and led the villagers to kneel down and worship at the floating thunderclouds.
Even the guards of the Li family knelt down one by one out of fear of the gods.
Only Li Xiuyuan stood still in front of the sacrificial table, looking at the floating clouds with a bit of curiosity and solemnity.
The clouds drifted slowly, and finally floated over the great lake before stopping.
"I am a thunder general under the command of the Thunder God of the Heavenly Palace, and I have traveled here at the right time, and I heard that there are grievances here, so I came to investigate. A majestic voice came from among the clouds.
The sound was like thunder, and it shook people's hearts with fear.
