Chapter 131: Sacrifice
"You guys will be a thug for me for a few days!" Wang Fei suddenly laughed.
As soon as Ji Fan heard this, he turned around and left with Qin Yue'er.
"Hey, what's the matter?" Wang Fei picked up the cloth bag used as a pillow on the ground and caught up with Ji Fan.
"All we want is news, it's not worth it!" Ji Fan turned his head.
The two of them crossed Wang Fei and walked onto the fine stone road. There is a stone road here, which means that there are people in this vicinity.
Joy washed away the unpleasantness just now. Ji Fan and Qin Yue'er didn't take Wang Fei seriously at all, they only felt that they had met a little scoundrel, or a little scoundrel who couldn't beat the snake with no thugs.
Ji Fan and Qin Yue'er walked along the gravel road. At the end of the gravel road, Ji Fan saw a village made of bamboo, and the people here had to pile bamboo buildings on high places in order to adapt to the damp environment.
The setting sun illuminates the village through the dense forest, and everything is so quiet and beautiful.
In these days, this is the first time Ji Fan has seen the sun.
"Come in and rest!" an old man in a skull mask stood under a bamboo plaque, as if deliberately waiting for them.
He clapped his hands, and dozens of masked villagers poured out.
"We're holding another three-day Luna Festival here, and it's just the right time for you two to come!" the village chief led Ji Fan into the village, and introduced with a smile.
The girls who had been waiting for a long time in the village rushed forward, carrying buckets of water in their hands.
According to the instructions of the village chief, they gathered around Ji Fan and Qin Yue'er, holding wet cloths to come up and wipe their muddy shoes.
When Ji Fan saw this battle, he was about to refuse, but Qin Yue'er pressed her shoulder and secretly gave him a voice at the same time.
"The moon god is the embodiment of holiness, and the village chief does not allow us to participate in the sacrifice like this!"
Ji Fan glanced at her, a little puzzled, but did not refuse again.
A woman with a dark red mask gently wiped the soles of Ji Fan's shoes. The moment she looked up, Ji Fan saw those eyes, with a light red underneath them.
Ji Fan nodded, smiled lightly, and conveyed kindness.
Suddenly, Ji Fan felt something strange, and his body trembled suddenly. He wanted to retreat, but he ran into Yue'er beside him!
"What's wrong?"
"I didn't ...... It's okay!"
He didn't understand why the other party suddenly pinched his instep.
Ji Fan turned his head, and when he looked at the woman in front of him again, the other party had already hidden in the middle of a group of girls and left quickly.
"Childe, is there a girl you have a crush on?" the village chief suddenly smiled, his eyes were sophisticated, and he caught Ji Fan's gaze falling on the group of girls.
"Not really. Ji Fan smiled slightly, "I'm just curious about the customs here!"
The village chief smiled slightly, and recognized Ji Fan's explanation.
"Village Chief, I want to ask, have you ever heard of the Phantom Moon Cliff?"
"Phantom Moon Cliff?" the village chief was silent for a moment, then shook his head. "I really haven't heard of this place! Excuse me, where did you hear this name, and why did you find us in Luna Village?"
"This ...... We are not allowed to tell you the details. It's the first time I've heard of this place, and if the village chief doesn't know about this place, we must be looking for the wrong way!" Ji Fan said.
Ji Fan still has some questions to ask. At this time, there was a sudden crackling sound in the distance.
In the square in the center of the village, around the stone platform of the high pillars, the firewood stacked together was lit, and the whole village was brighter!
"Please also pay attention to protect yourself, the moon god festival begins, if you don't mind, you can stay in the village for a few days, appreciate the customs here! The village chief smiled, suddenly stepped back, and let the two women behind him come forward.
"Then thank the village chief. Before Ji Fan could speak, Qin Yue'er was the first to speak. She took some beautiful weapons and brocades from the storage bag and handed them to the two women.
They bowed slightly, took it, and then walked in front, leading Ji Fan and the others through the villagers, towards a bamboo building built around a tree.
"Ji Fan, look over there!" Qin Yue'er suddenly pointed to the square at the end of the street.
Standing in his current position, Ji Fan's line of sight just radiated to the entire square.
On a full moon night, the moonlight shone through the gaps in the branches and leaves on the half-naked man. At some point, the village chief appeared next to the man, holding a heavy book in his left hand and touching the top of the man's head with his right hand, while muttering strange language in his mouth.
Judging from the person's appearance and the boots and pants on his lower body, he was judged to be a standard cultivator of the Sixteen States. The knotted muscles of his upper body were covered with scars, some of which were too obvious, making Ji Fan have to wonder if his muscles had been cut open.
However, the surrounding villagers did not think that the man's body was ugly, but stared eagerly at the field, their faces full of eagerness.
"The moon god festival begins!" the village chief drank.
The villagers walked rhythmically around the altar, and they also said things that Ji Fan didn't understand, and when they listened carefully, they seemed to be just bowing their heads and muttering.
The next moment, something strange happened. Ji Fan even thought that he was wrong, but as the surrounding spiritual power was pouring into the center of the altar, he knew that it was not an illusion.
The moon was getting brighter and brighter overhead, and the man in the center of the altar looked like he was studded with diamonds, reflecting the moonlight in all directions.
The next moment, the scars under his skin seemed to come to life, swimming out of his skin little by little.
Soon, the man's skin was detached from its previous state and became crystal like a treasure. The village chief had already left the altar, and the man stood up with his eyes closed, his hands open, enjoying the gift of the moon god wantonly.
His cultivation has been rising steadily, and he has already rushed to the late stage of the Spirit Rain Realm......! The spiritual power in this forest was still too scarce, and the spiritual power around it was so thin that he couldn't extract it.
And it will take a long time for the spiritual power in the distance to flow over.
Most of the man's desire to impact the Spirit Sea Realm has failed!
But at this time, a mutation protruded. The man suddenly noticed that the moonlight above his head was gone. Everyone looked up, and they couldn't figure out what was hiding the moonlight on this cloudless night.
"That's ......," Ji Fan looked at it.
On the high branches, a man hugged a large uprooted tree and shook it vigorously.
Although the guy was wearing a night suit with his face covered, the cloth bags he was wearing were hanging from his body. Ji Fan recognized it at a glance!
"It's that guy during the day!" Qin Yue'er said in Ji Fan's ear.
Although I don't know why this guy wants to destroy this sacrifice, Ji Fan can guess that the request he made today must be related to the destruction of this sacrifice!
"What does this guy want to do?" Ji Fan's heart was full of questions.
In the center of the altar, the man suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, he raised his head, and stared at Wang Fei with a resentful face.
Wang Fei waved the stout trees vigorously, and the shadows of the trees shattered the moonlight on the ground.
After destroying the sacrifice and seeing that the man in the field was injured, he threw the whole tree on the altar and ran away screaming!
