Museum of Demons

With the help of Qi's army soldiers and water ghosts, the original life-threatening encounter was safely passed.

The two souls did not stay here for a long time. After ensuring the safety of Zhang Tao and other disciples of the Tianshi Mansion, they left. Everyone on the boat was still in a lingering fear and could not recover for a long time. Zhang Tao was staring at the simple message on the phone. choppy.

Brother, what's the matter?

No injuries.

Seeing that Zhang Tao was motionless, a Taoist priest was slightly worried.

Zhang Tao took a breath, shook his head, and reluctantly said: It's nothing, thank you brother for your concern.

The Taoist saw that he didn't seem to want to say more, and he didn't ask any further questions. He just thought of what he had just seen, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: It's been a long escape, if it wasn't for the help of those two Dharma protectors, we might have died The Huai River is in the water, but I don’t know which senior’s means.”

Those two Dharma protectors almost have the bearing of the upright gods and yin generals in the legend.

Old Liu, are you okay?

The old Taoist turned his head and saw that the boatman was still lying on the ground, his expression pale, he helped him up, and comforted him: Don't worry, things are safe for now, don't be afraid.

The old boatman's expression was unspeakable. He glanced at the gradually calming water, and his face became paler. However, the Taoist priests on the boat were all injured, so they didn't notice the subtle expression change. Zhang Tao glanced at his phone and looked To his senior brother, said:

Brother, is there a way to drive Yinshen in modern times?

The Taoist thought for a while and said, Yes, but in the current situation, the Taoism is still very high.

Generally speaking, it takes a long time to recruit the Yin God and make it follow orders. It is very troublesome.

Zhang Tao said silently, What if it's only less than ten minutes?

The Taoist was surprised, and immediately smiled and said, How is it possible?

He only thought that his junior brother was confused, and replied casually:

Then unless the humaneness of the spellcaster is so high that he only needs to raise a talisman to make the general of the Yin soldier obey his orders. Heh, where is that kind of person? Did the Heavenly Court leave the realm of names and official positions?

It's a fairy.

immortal……

Zhang Tao stared at the mobile phone for a short time and was speechless.

…………………

Because of this encounter, several Taoist priests of the Tianshi Mansion were injured, and the boatman who sailed the boat was also very frightened, his face was pale, and everyone no longer had the idea of ​​continuing on the Huai River, but hurried to After rushing back, coupled with the fear of the boatman, he spent several hours directly returning to the village.

He lives in a village along the Huai River.

Residents rely on water for food and occasionally carry tourists across the river. The remote location has only recently been connected to electricity and the Internet.

After returning, I found that there was another person in the village, a young man with an ordinary face, who said he was going to play along the Huai River, so the person who rented a boat here had already discussed it, but when the boatman went to the village chief After talking at home for a while, they regretted it again.

Said that at least these few days will not be able to leave the ship, or wait and see.

The young tourists are very talkative, so they agreed directly. After discussing with everyone in the Tianshi Mansion, since they have notified the Tianshi Mansion of Longhu Mountain, naturally there will be teachers and uncles to deal with the matter. However, the villagers followed them and ran into the water ghost , I don't know if there will be any remaining danger, so I just stay in this village for a few days.

Zhang Tao was still distracted by a short line of messages on his mobile phone, but when he went out, he ran into the tourist who was said to have come to the village a while earlier, said hello, and said politely: I don't know how to call it...

The young man looked at him and replied:

My surname is Wu.

Zhang Tao was surprised, this surname is relatively rare, but he nodded without thinking too much.

The man who claimed to be surnamed Wu stood at the entrance of the village and looked into the distance. In his ears, the soldiers of the Qi family and the water ghosts reported what happened just now. It was Wei Yuan who had rushed from Quanshi. The influence of light can easily change the person he sees in the eyes of others.

He didn't show up directly, but went ashore from another place, and arrived at the village before Zhang Tao and others.

The boatman was even more frightened when he saw the sedan chair water ghost defeated, he must know something.

Only seven pairs of boys and girls carrying sedan chairs couldn't satisfy Wei Yuan's goal, and he was worried that after the appearance of Wuzhiqi, he would scare away the troublemaker behind him, so he came up with this bad plan. Wei Yuan stared at it for a while. Let the water ghost and Qi's army soldiers pay attention to hide and stare at this village.

I walk around like an ordinary tourist.

The Huai River, at least the Huai River in this section of the river basin, was quiet for a while after the water ghost carrying the sedan chair was beheaded, and then became more and more turbulent. The waves are almost comparable to the hills, as if they are going to submerge all the villages on both sides of the river.

Zhang Tao and other disciples from Tianshi Mansion went to have a look, and their faces were very ugly.

It was obvious that something was at work.

It's just that I don't know how much water has been stirred up, and how strong it can be.

But in any case, this kind of performance can already be called a land of water gods, and it is not a problem that small Taoists like them can solve. That night, everyone in the village went to worship the river god. Zhang Tao planned to dissuade him. But I don't know how to speak.

Just when they wanted to get closer, the villagers stared at them with great resentment, and one of the women even cursed fiercely:

What are you doing here?!

If you hadn't killed the emissary of Jiangshen Lord Huaidu, how could you make Lord Huaidu so arrogant and disrespectful to the gods!

When it comes to swearing, how can a few Taoist priests be her opponents?

All retreated in embarrassment.

The woman who was extremely fierce when she cursed was extremely devout when she prayed for the Jiangshen ceremony.

But it was obvious that the Jiangshen Huaidu they were talking about didn't appreciate it.

On the first day, white glutinous rice from a large altar was used, together with highly alcoholic white wine, and poured into the river continuously. The part of the river bank that was poured down was lingering with a strong aroma of wine that could not be ignored. But the river became more and more turbulent.

Before getting up on the second day, the Taoist priests heard the sounds of animals, ran out to have a look, and saw that the local residents did not know where they got live cattle, sheep, pigs, dogs and chickens, and gathered five animals. Worship in front of the river, and sacrifice these animals on the spot.

In ancient times, this was almost the standard for offering sacrifices to heaven and gods.

Blood poured into the river, and the Huai River was choppy, but it still didn't restrain itself.

That night, several Taoist priests discussed with each other how to stop the river and repel the evil gods existing in the river. In another place, at the village head's house, there was one person in every household in the village. The village head remained silent for a while, looking around, and said hoarsely, You all know the situation.

Now those outsiders have killed Lord Huaidu's emissary, and now Lord Huaidu has become angry. The sacrifices that were effective in the past are now useless. When Lord Huaidu comes together, we will not be able to escape.

A young man said: Then you can't run?

The village head sneered, Run?

Which ones ran away in the past few years, and what happened to you, don't you know?

Now everyone is silent. I heard that someone ran away a few years ago. It is said that they went to a big city and lived a good life. The local people set up nets in the Huai River to catch fish, but the dead bodies of a whole family came out of the nets, which frightened the fishermen at that time.

Since then, everyone has given up their thoughts of leaving the village.

In addition, there have been floods in the past, and only glutinous rice spirits can be used to deal with them. Occasionally, people will die in the river, relying on the river water to make a living. Glutinous rice spirits alone are useless even for offering sacrifices to five animals.

The shadow of death hangs over everyone.

After a long silence, the village chief looked around at the crowd and said, There is only one way.

He said, Life sacrifice.

Everyone's complexion changed. The last life sacrifice was decades ago. Some of them were still young and had no memory, and some were not born at all. They just thought it was a so-called ignorant and lost tradition. When the usually gentle and generous village head said these two words, he realized that this tradition has not been lost at all.

A woman said, Since you said that, village chief, why don't you just let your family out. I remember that your grandson is only six years old, so it just fits the bill.

The village chief's expression changed, and he said angrily, What did you say!

The woman was startled, and forced herself to say: Why, you are the village head, so why not set an example? Besides, your grandson is at the right time.

The village head said: Hmph, isn't your little grandson also at the same age? The old Liu family has five children, and two of them are given up to keep the big guy safe, isn't it just right?!

Village chief, you two are arguing, what are you dragging me into?

What, you...

A group of people started to quarrel in an instant, yelling at each other and exposing faults, and they were arguing hard.

Suddenly a deep voice said: ... let's draw lots.

Everyone can't escape.

Everyone paused and stopped talking.

They looked at each other, and once again fell into the mental attitude they had left in the village before—someone would be unlucky, but most people would be safe, and they always thought they would be safe, so they found a blank piece of paper, tore it into strips, grabbed .

A man's legs and feet were weak and he sat down on the ground.

His daughter was drawn.

……………………

In order to prevent the disciples of Tianshi Mansion from being involved.

The people in the village planned to complete the most important life rite quietly. They took cloth bags, covered their eyes, covered their faces, and then went to the woman's house with a torch. The man who was very devout to Jiang Shen did not come. He has been beaten unconscious.

The moment he drew his daughter, he frantically tried to push these people away, trying to protect his daughter, but was hit directly on the back of the head, and completely passed out.

In the dark night, a group of people broke open the door and knocked the woman inside unconscious.

The latter didn't even see who made the move.

She only saw figures without faces, without fear or shame, stretched long under the torches, with swaying black shadows on their faces, like demons lurking in the dark night.

It seems that after wearing a mask, there is no need to worry about being retaliated, and there is no need to have a psychological burden.

But at this moment, there was a loud voice, everyone turned their heads and saw the young tourist in simple clothes, he looked at those people, at the little girl with tears streaming down his face, and said, What are you going to do?!

No one answered, and the people who covered their faces with black bags stood indifferently.

They picked up torches and shovels, changed their previous appearance, and approached the people step by step.

The young tourist paused and said, Let go of that child.

In any case, the child is innocent.

If there is anything, I will replace her.

Everyone paused, and subconsciously looked at the shortest figure in the crowd, which was the village head. The latter silently looked at the young man who spoke, and looked at the latter's healthy and young body, thinking that if one life sacrifice is not enough, There could be a second one, so he nodded slowly.

Someone tied the young man's hands, pressed him and the little girl away, and took him away.

This young man will be the sacrifice of Huai Shui Lord.

Such a healthy and young offering.

Thinking about it, Suicune must be satisfied.
