It turns out that the main altar of the "Tiger Spirit Emperor God" of Fengpu County is on Xunling Mountain, and the four towns and villages of five counties under Fengpu County have sub-altars and sub-temples. Every year, each branch altar and temple have to hand over offerings to the general altar, and every time the tiger spirit is angry, it has become a heavy burden for the local people, but the strange thing is that the people are very willing to pay.

Yuhan thought for a moment and asked, "Ying'er, do you know that these sacrificial activities are managed? Who are they? Are they the lamas in the temple?"

"Yes, but they are not all lamas, we in Hongshan County are managed by an organization called Honghui, and they are the guardians of the Tiger Spirit Emperor God, and they are also the protectors of the people of Hongshan County. Ying'er's eyes were full of respect.

Yuhan and Ziyu looked at each other, and their eyes were full of surprise.

"How did they become the protectors of the people of Hongshan?" Yuhan asked.

"They guard the Tiger Spirit Emperor Temple, the Emperor Temple is the god who saves the people from suffering, they represent the people who burn incense and worship every day, which allows us to have a lot of peaceful days, Hong Hui has always been doing good deeds, such as sending food to the poor, especially when the ground moves, they are even more efforts to help the trapped people, can't they be considered good people?"

The two nodded, this is indeed a good non-governmental organization.

"Then do you know where the place where you were sold yesterday was, and who are the people in that place?" Ziyu felt that this little girl knew a lot of things, so she asked.

Wang Ying'er looked at the two of them and said, "That place seems to be the Yaofeng Gang in Obsidian. ”

"Looks like you know a lot of things. Ziyu exclaimed.

"It's not that I'm good, everyone knows that it's a terrible place in that valley, and no one wants to go there on weekdays. ”

"Do you know who is secretly manipulating Yaofeng Gang?" Ziyu asked jokingly.

"I heard the old people say that there is a house called Plum Blossom Temple, where there is a terrible master, whose strength is infinite, and no one can beat him, and he has many thugs under him. ”

Yuhan and the others were stunned, it turned out that the common people knew about the sins of the Plum Blossom Courtyard, and the government just ignored it, what kind of person is this boss, so powerful, is there a bigger force behind him to support him.

Yuhan wondered: This Hong will be justice, don't they know that there is a harmful Obsidian Gang in Hongshan County, why don't they go to eradicate the evil Obsidian Gang, they don't have this strength, don't dare?

While talking, they came to Nanzhi Mountain, this mountain is not high, even said to be a very smooth hillside, there is indeed an ancient temple on the top of the mountain, it is full of smoke, the hillside is full of people from Hongshan City, everyone is very religious, they gaze at the ancient temple, humming their wishes and prayers softly, their hands are folded, and their expressions are serious.

Wang Yinger also learned from everyone's appearance, with a solemn demeanor.

Ziyu muttered quietly: "The scale is really big." ”

Yuhan said: "The sacrificial activities caused by the earthquake should be very grand. ”

"yes! Look, it's almost begins. ”

With a series of brass bells, out of the temple out of a group of lamas wearing red and yellow robes, in front of the team is a tall old lama, the hair is white, his hat is the highest, the right hand holds a rattle, the left hand erects in front of the chest, the mouth is chanting! The formation of two and five is the same, and the same is true for the other left and right incense burners.

Someone shouted, "Incense!"

The people below are already silent, only to see nine young lamas coming up, the front two carry a big incense, the big incense is also called the petal incense, is made of sandalwood, extremely valuable, this big incense is huge, enough to have more than one person high. The lama in the back held twenty-four incense sticks and came to the three large furnaces in three groups.

"Light the incense!"

The host and two other respected lamas took the torches and lit all three large incense sticks.

"Xingxiang!"

They put three large incense sticks in the three incense burners, and the lamas in the back then lit all the incense sticks and inserted them around the big incense, and for a while, the smoke was filled and the fragrance was overflowing.

"Kneel!"

There were already little lamas who brought them each a futon and put it away, and they all knelt down together, and the people on the mountain also knelt down one after another, this scene was very spectacular, and the black pressure knelt down a large piece, Yuhan and Ziyu had to squat down, and after nine bows, everyone stood up again.

"Sacrifice!"

At this moment, a path flashed on the mountain road, and a group of strong young people came over, carrying seven jars of rice wine, seven bags of rice, seven pigs' heads, seven goats, and a pair of boys and girls...

"What's going on?" asked Yuhan softly.

Ziyu was also very surprised.

An uncle beside him sighed and said, "These are all sacrifices to the Tiger Spirit Emperor God." ”

"Are these two dolls also sacrifices?" Ziyu asked eagerly, remembering the story of the carp spirit in "Journey to the West".

"Yes!" the uncle had already paid attention to them, "It seems that you are not locals, right? This is our custom, ask the emperor to bless you, then you have to offer to him! ”

"Yes, we are outsiders passing through Hongshan County, and we just want to ask, will these two children be sent back?" asked Yuhan.

The uncle shook his head sadly, "They will send these gifts to the Lingshan Mountain to dedicate to the Tiger Spirit Emperor God." ”

"After sacrificing to heaven like this, where did those two children come from?" Ziyu asked.

"Every year, a few pairs of three-year-old boys and girls will be selected from the people's homes for standby, and a pair must be sent for the New Year, and when the Tiger Spirit Emperor is angry, the day when the earth shakes and the mountains shake, alas!"

"Who can give up this?" Ziyu sighed.

"Beast!" Yuhan snorted angrily.

"I can't help it, this is the destiny of heaven, we mortals dare not disobey it! Or maybe they're almost nine years old..."Before the uncle could finish his sentence, he quickly shut up, and it turned out that several people around him were looking at him with hostile eyes, and he shivered and lowered his head.

Yuhan knew that he didn't dare to "talk nonsense" anymore, which was extremely disrespectful to the emperor god, and after she watched the team carrying the sacrifices in front of the temple for everyone to worship, she slowly entered the temple, thinking about how to rescue the two children.

"I don't think this Honghui is a good organization, and it can even do this kind of thing. Ziyu muttered to himself very softly.

Yuhan nodded and replied, "The raccoon dog with the Obsidian Gang is a bloodsucker in Hongshan County. ”

"Yes, it's just how to make the people wake up, and they hate everyone very much for the Obsidian Gang, but for Honghui, everyone is very grateful!" Ziyu kept shaking his head.

"Therefore, this flood will be even more terrifying, more shameless, and deserve to be sent to the eighteenth layer of hell. Yuhan gritted his steel teeth.

"Well, it must be eradicated. ”

The sacrificial ceremony was over, everyone began to retreat one after another, and when they returned to the store, the three of them went to the first floor to eat, Ziyu suddenly asked: "Miss Yuhan, I want to know, what happened to the earthquake you just mentioned?"

Wang Yinger also expressed her curiosity.

Yuhan nodded and said: "Earthquake, is a natural phenomenon, the earth under our feet is a unique planet, there are thousands of them in the universe, this planet is the Yuankun Continent, it gives birth to life, and also gives birth to us, but they themselves can also move, the magma under the surface is rolling, and the plates are squeezing each other. The impact forms the movement on the ground, that is, the earthquake, the ground movement you are talking about, the size is related to the size of the movement under the surface, divided into one to ten levels, the greater the progression, the greater the damage, in fact, it has nothing to do with the gods, but some people have ulterior motives, so as to make a big fuss and become a means for them to fish and flesh the people. ”

The two of them were confused, but they still understood, Wang Ying'er seemed to be enlightened, she said sadly: "Actually, our family once gave it once, it was a cousin of mine, he was only four years old that year, and the whole family was very sad, but they didn't dare to show it!

Ziyu smiled heartily: "We are here, and they are almost at the end." ”

Yuhan smiled knowingly.

Suddenly, there was a noise in front of the counter, and a black-faced man was shouting there.

"Shopkeeper, I ate at your place last night, drank too much, and dropped a money bag on the table, have you ever seen it?" he paced to an empty table in front of the counter with a scimitar in hand, and rested one foot on the bench.

The guys shook their heads, indicating that they didn't see it.

The big man glared, and his voice was loud: "What? Don't you know me?"

Everyone shook their heads again, and then a shopkeeper came out of the back hall with a plate and a curtain, and looked at the big man and said, "Yo! He went to pick up the food as soon as he served it to the guests.

While waiting, Dahan looked around proudly and arrogantly, and the other guy hurriedly served a pot of tea, and Dahan was not polite, and poured himself a drink.

Suddenly, the guy came back with a small blue cloth bag, smiled and handed it to the big man, who slowly took the money bag and nodded, "Well! He gently opened the money bag, looked at it twice, and suddenly his face changed greatly, and he raised his hand and slapped it on the man's face.

The guy fell out two meters away in a circle, and everyone was shocked, and the guy looked at the big man in horror with half of his red and swollen face, and couldn't say a word.

The big man slammed the money bag on the table, slapped the scimitar on the table with a "snap", his eyes were round, and he shouted loudly: "If you grow your dog gall, you dare to take the uncle's money, and you have eaten the leopard's gall." ”

Everyone is at a loss!
