Chapter 910: Blood Moon
Yellow sand flew, the same old earthen houses rose from the ground, and in a short time, a town that had been flooded by wind and sand reappeared on the ground.
The town doesn't look very big, with twenty or thirty houses, surrounded by a ring of earthen walls.
Every house was silent, and suddenly, a lantern lit up at the door of the house, and a bright red light enveloped the town, completely brightening the desert.
Then there was a burst of songs, bells, drums, and harps, and then the voices of the people were boiling.
Almost in the blink of an eye, Jiang Le found that the streets were full of people, men and women, old and young, some opening shops to do business, some playing in the streets, some coarse cloth clothes, and some brocade robes, coming and going, a scene of the ancient night market, lively and extraordinary.
Jiang Le stood in the center of the crowd, being pushed by the crowd of people coming and going.
Bang!
Suddenly, Jiang Le was bumped by someone.
"I'm sorry, brother, are you okay?" a gentle voice sounded in his ears.
Jiang Le turned around and saw a young man in a plain robe, who looked like a scholar, looking at him apologetically.
Jiang Le shook his head: "It's okay." ”
The young man chuckled: "It's okay, well, Brother Tai looks good-eyed, isn't he a local?"
Jiang Le said: "No, I was passing by here. ”
"I see, but Brother Tai is also lucky, today is the town's annual Red Moon Festival, and when the moon rises in the sky, we can see a red crescent moon. ”
Jiang Le was surprised: "Red moon, how is this possible?"
The young man said: "Everyone who knows about the festival in the town says that it is impossible, but everyone who has seen it will be amazed by it, if Brother Tai does not believe it, wait for the moon to rise in the middle of the sky." You'll see. ”
Jiang Le was about to nod, but suddenly wiped that something was wrong, and his brows furrowed slightly.
The young man asked curiously, "What's the matter, brother?"
Jiang Le asked, "Red Moon Festival." Is this a very old heritage festival in the town?"
The young man smiled, "That's not the case, come." There are too many people on the street, we are looking for a place with few people, I will introduce the origin of this red moon for Brother Tai, I believe Brother Tai will sigh, the world is full of wonders. ”
Jiang Le nodded: "That's right, I'm a little interested." ”
The two strolled away and came to a place where there were few people. There are a few willow trees here, with lush branches and leaves, and a gust of wind blows, which is very cool.
The young man spoke, "It is said that hundreds of years ago, there was no Red Moon Festival in the town, and even the moon in that sky was as unremarkable as other places. But then, something strange happened in the town. ”
"Strange thing?" Jiang Le asked.
The young man said, "Yes, one night all the animals in the town suddenly started screaming as if they were going crazy. Dogs, cats, chickens. Even some snakes, insects, rats and ants were frantically strung out and ran around the streets, and people were frightened at that time, thinking that something evil was coming. After the discussion of the people in the town, they finally invited a mage dozens of miles away to come over and exorcise evil spirits. That mage is famous in the local area, and it is very powerful. He set down the altar and practiced it overnight. That night, the people of the town hid in their houses. I heard only all kinds of terrible business, and the sound of the earth trembling. All night long. ”
"On the second day, when the rooster crows and the east sees white, people have the courage to come out. Do you know what the people saw at that time?" the young man turned to look at Jiang Le.
Jiang Le smiled and asked, "What did you see?"
The young man said, "They saw that the whole town was covered in a layer of red light, which was very weird. ”
"Red light?" Jiang Le subconsciously glanced at the red lanterns on the surrounding houses.
These red lanterns are also red and demonic, which makes Jiang Le feel a little evil.
"Yes, it's the red light, and finally, the people found the mage in the center of the town, but the mage was seriously injured and was in danger, and they had time to tell the people that every year on the thirteenth day of June, the moon in the sky would turn red, and at this time, red lanterns must be hung at the door, everyone should wear red clothes, and then prepare a blood feast at home. ”
"Blood feast?"
Jiang Le's eyes narrowed.
The young man smiled and said: "Brother Tai, don't think crookedly, this blood banquet is made of chicken blood, duck blood, pig blood, etc., as long as you follow this procedure, you can ensure the safety of the town, after hundreds of years of changes, it has gradually evolved into the Red Moon Festival, and has become the most lively festival in the local area." ”
Jiang Le nodded and exclaimed, "It sounds very strange, it's really a long insight." ”
The young man smiled: "Although I have seen the blood moon countless times since I was a child, every time I see it, I will feel magical, the world is so big, I can't see such a scene anywhere else." ”
Jiang Le looked at the young man and said, "You just said that you hung red lanterns and wore red clothes, but the people on this street are not like this?"
The young man was puzzled, "Brother, are we wearing red?"
Jiang Le was stunned for a moment, and when he looked again, he found that the young man's shirt was obviously blue before, but now it had become a red Confucian shirt.
And when he saw this Confucian shirt, Jiang Le felt that his divine consciousness was in a trance, and then his heart trembled, and Jiang Le's spiritual platform was clear.
"It's so dangerous, it's actually calculating everywhere!Hmph, is it easy to bully when this seat is here?" Jiang Le was angry, and looked up to see what he was talking about, but this time, the young man who spoke just now had disappeared.
Jiang Le's face darkened.
This ghost place is really weird, it can't even be seen through by an earth immortal, and it's still being played around, Nima, is it fun?
Jiang Le's gaze became cold, and he reached out to pinch the law.
"Since you don't show up, I'll force you to show up. ”
Thinking of this, Jiang Le was about to cast a spell.
"Oops, the blood moon is coming out. An exclamation of surprise came from afar, and then the crowd gathered and pointed at the sky.
Jiang Le couldn't help but look up.
I saw that although there were faint black clouds in the sky, they could not hide the crescent moon that seemed to be within reach.
At this moment, a little red spot appeared in the crescent, and the red seemed to be expanding rapidly, slowly eroding the crescent.
Seeing this scene, the crowd below shouted excitedly and laughed.
But Jiang Le felt a burst of danger surging into his heart, and he had a huge sense of crisis.
"Not good!"
Jiang Le exclaimed in surprise, his figure swept up, levitating out of thin air, and then his hands flew quickly, and spirit runes flew in all directions.
Woohoo!
Like an arrow, the spirit rune broke through the air and pasted it on the walls of the houses, and in an instant, all the houses were pasted.
At this moment, the laughing crowd suddenly quieted down, and all the people turned their heads and looked at Jiang Le with gloomy eyes.
"Hmph, demon, pretend to be a ghost here, and watch me force you to show up. ”
"Heaven and earth are infinite, Qiankun borrows the law, eight is in line with one, give me a break. ”
Jiang Lefa pointed a little, and those spirit runes that had been positioned earlier burst instantly.
Boom Boom!
In the sound of crackling, the town quickly fell into ruin.
And in the town, the townspeople in red clothes disappeared one by one with a roar. (To be continued)
