God's offering

"I'm back," Tang Ao poked his head out of the kitchen, still holding a frying spoon, "It's ready to eat."

Although he was a bit repulsed by the manual he got from Luo Sheng, in order not to make Lu Yinbai worry, Tang Ao still practiced according to the content of the manual. Unexpectedly, it was quite effective. His current actions are different from those when he was on Chenxing Island. There is no difference, so he returned to the life of dog skin plaster confidently.

Lu Yinbai threw a messy pile of letters and magazines from the mailbox on the coffee table, washed his hands, and helped Tang Ao bring the dishes from the kitchen to the table. On the opposite side of the table was a spiritual tablet, made of dark wood, However, Yanhong's name was written with a cinnabar pen. Lu Yinbai went to the shop to order a spiritual tablet for Tang Ao. According to the manual, the spiritual tablet is equivalent to a home for ghosts. After making a spiritual tablet for a ghost, it has the effect of condensing the soul Regular offerings every day can also nourish the soul. With this, Tang Ao will not be easily dissipated.

Tang Ao would occasionally rest in the coffin, but he always felt uncomfortable, and most of the time he insisted on sleeping next to Lu Yinbai's single bed.

Lin Yuezao sat at the table and waited. He moved his chopsticks and shouted, "Hurry up, I'm starving to death."

Tang Ao glanced at him unhappily, put the rice bowl in front of him in disgust, and sat down at the dining table himself. He had a separate meal, but he didn't eat it the same as before. For him, There was no taste in his mouth after eating these meals, he just put them aside and smelled them, which was also a way of absorbing anger.

And these meals that Tang Ao has smelled will become cold and tasteless, and Lu Yinbai usually feeds them to the stray cats and dogs downstairs.

Looking at Tang Ao, Lin Yue shook his shoulders and said, "I used to worship ancestors every Chinese New Year and festival. When I thought of eating on the table and my ancestors smoking next to me, I got goosebumps all over my body. pimple."

Lu Yinbai imagined the scene for a while, and it was a bit funny, but seeing Lin Yue's unacceptable appearance, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Your ancestor probably reincarnated long ago, and I don't know who is next to you."

"Yes, yes," Tang Ao agreed with a smirk, "I don't know what it looks like, maybe it's those who got into a car accident, and an arm may still be hanging on you."

Lin Yue showed a disgusted expression when he heard the words, "You two are so disgusting, you still don't let people eat!"

Tang Ao curled his lips, "If you dislike it, don't eat it. I will feed it to the cats and dogs downstairs, and they will lick my hands. Feeding you is like feeding a white-eyed wolf. Every day, I will eat it. I bared my teeth."

Lu Yinbai said lazily: "Come on, if you go down to feed, there won't even be a dog hair underneath, and it's too late for them to hide from you."

Lin Yue smiled and threw a provocative look at Tang Ao, Lu Yin didn't lift his head, picked up a chopstick of green vegetables, and continued: "Lin Yue, you too, you don't eat rice like that, you don't look very good So, don't treat yourself like a badass."

Lin Yue curled his lips, "I'm already working, but I haven't been paid yet."

After the noisy meal, Tang Ao cleaned up the table and washed the dishes as usual. Lu Yinbai sat at the table without moving. From his angle, he could just see Tang Ao's busy back in the kitchen. He watched like this every day It took a while to feel at ease.

Lin Yue went to the coffee table and flipped through the magazine that Lu Yinbai brought up, "The company should have sent me the cover photo taken two days ago, let you see how handsome my brother Lin Yue is..."

Usually, Lin Yue would brag about a few thousand words, but his words stopped abruptly. Lu Yinbai waited for a long time but did not wait for the second half. He turned to look at Lin Yue with some doubts, and Lin Yue stood motionless with his back turned Squatting in front of the coffee table, Lu Yinbai didn't know what he was doing, so he stood up and walked behind Lin Yue and kicked his ass, "Why are you so dull, did the photographer put your photo in the magazine? "

Lin Yue turned his head with a very mechanical movement, raised his head, and met Shang Lu Yinbai's eyes dully. He gave up a little space, and Lu Yinbai could see that he was holding an envelope in his hand. On the envelope was written a big Lu Yinbai accepted the words, but the sender's name was written very small, Lu Yinbai had to bend down to read it, and when he saw the name clearly, he couldn't help being stunned, the sender's column was impressively written Lu Ming, thick ink smeared at the end of the last stroke. It can be seen that the writer was using a lot of force, and even scratched the surface of the envelope.

Lu Yinbai quickly came to his senses, Lu Ming didn't have a mobile phone, and Lu Yinbai used to write to him in the past, so it was normal for him to have Lu Yinbai's address, but why did he write to himself?Lu Yinbai took the letter from Lin Yue, hesitated for a moment, and tore open the envelope.

Lu Ming is considered to be the most educated person in Chenxing Island other than the two college students, and his handwriting is also famous for its good looks, so Lu Yinbai recognized at a glance that it was indeed Lu Ming's handwriting, but the handwriting was slightly different. Different, many strokes are weak at the end, there are many traces of alteration, and even some dry brown traces on the paper, which look like blood.

Yin Bai:

Uncle Wu is already terminally ill, and I'm afraid he will pass away soon. I have committed a lot of sins in my life, and death is a relief for me.Although I have emphasized that I hope you will leave Morning Star Island and not get involved in this muddy water again, but it is getting more and more out of control, and its appetite is getting bigger and bigger. If it completely loses control, it will be a disaster for Morning Star Island. I can't be such a sinner. After thinking about it, I can only rely on you.

After you set fire to the sacrificial room and even destroyed most of the utensils, Lu Qi did not stop the sacrificial ceremony. He and several elders in the clan selected the offerings to the Sea God by drawing lots, and the sacrificial ceremony was successfully completed.In fact, the sacrifice ceremony is not as complicated as you think. It can be held no matter what the situation is, and no matter where it is. It will not stop because you burn down the sacrifice house. last person.

I don't know how to end it, so I can only ask you now, which is my last wish as a dying person.

After reading the letter, he was probably too shocked. Lu Yinbai was still standing blankly with the letter in his hand. Tang Ao opened his stiff fingers, glanced at the letter and repacked it, and then grabbed Lu Yinbai. Sit down on the couch.Tang Ao is probably the calmest now. Holding Lu Yinbai's cheek, he forced Lu Yinbai to look at him, and said in a low voice, "This matter is very dangerous. For me, I don't want you Do it, but if you want to do it, I will support it unconditionally."

Lin Yue slowly breathed a sigh of relief, his face rarely showed a serious expression, he subconsciously clenched his fists, "I don't care what you decide, anyway, I won't let this matter continue, I don't want to take it with me. Guilt lasts a lifetime."

Lu Ming's letter was only a few words, full of ambiguous words, but there was no room for Lu Yinbai to refuse. He was sure that Lu Yinbai would not and could not refuse.Lu Yinbai gradually calmed down, he patted the back of Tang Ao's hand reassuringly, "I once told my mentor that Chenxing Island is my hometown after all, not to mention there are more than 200 households on it, I will find out no matter what. There is a solution."

Lin Yue turned around in the living room twice, scratching his head irritably, "Uncle Ming is really serious, since I asked you to solve it, I don't want to reveal much about it, I have no clue, let me tell you where to start."

Lu Yinbai took out the letter and read it again, "I'm afraid Uncle Wu knows, or there is not much he can tell us. Don't worry, let's sort out the clues from the beginning. First, we can confirm what Uncle Wu said. It's Sea God, we saw it in the corridor last time... no, it should be the thing we felt."

Tang Ao nodded and continued: "I have told Yin Bai before that there is a guy full of resentment on Chenxing Island, and now I can say for sure that it is the Sea God, because apart from him, I have never been on Chenxing Island. I have felt other powerful existences."

"Wait, wait," Lin Yue hurriedly waved his hands, "I'm confused by what you said, but the Sea God is a god, so how could he be so angry?"

Lu Yinbai pondered for a moment, and said: "It is useless for us to speculate on this point, after all, we know almost nothing, but since Tang Ao said so, there is no need to doubt that Sea God is a bad existence now. , Lin Yue, did you also feel it at that time? Wasn't it you who was so scared that you couldn't stand up at that time?"

Lin Yue choked for a moment. Compared with Lu Yinbai and Tang Ao, he had a closer connection with Chenxing Island. Even because Lu Yinbai was unwilling to learn about sacrifices, he started to learn about sacrifices when he was ten years old, so no matter what He has deep feelings for Chenxing Island, or for the most important sacrifice of Morningstar Island every year.

When he was imprisoned by the Lu family as a sacrifice on the island, he had already doubted and wavered about the sacrifice in his heart. However, for the Sea God, it may be because living in such a closed place always requires a bright belief, like all Like the people living on Chenxing Island, he never doubted the sea god who blesses Chenxing Island, so even though he knew that Lu Yinbai's analysis was reasonable, Lin Yue still found it hard to accept.

"Perhaps the Sea God already..." He muttered a few words, and finally he smiled wryly without words.

Tang Ao poured a cup of hot water and stuffed it into Lin Yue's hands. The bickering was the same, but the relationship between him and Lin Yue since they were young was genuine. Now that Fa Xiaozhen was in a low mood, he couldn't just turn a blind eye.

Lin Yue took a sip of water in a daze, and immediately spit it out with a "poof", "I'm going, why is it so hot!"

Tang Ao raised his hand innocently, "I'm sorry, I can't control the temperature when I become a ghost."

Lin Yue didn't believe his nonsense, and gave him a hard look, but his mood calmed down a little, "Okay, you guys continue talking, don't worry about me, I feel that there is nothing unacceptable to me now."

"Actually, it might not be as arbitrary as what Yinbai said," Tang Ao thought for a while, and said, he didn't want to comfort Lin Yue, he was just seeking truth from facts, "It's also possible that the sea god at the beginning has disappeared, and now the island's It's just that the wraith has occupied the Seagod's position."

Lu Yinbai rubbed the letter paper unconsciously, "There is this possibility, but it is meaningless to pursue this point now. What is important is what it wants to do now. Uncle Wu said in the letter that it wants to destroy the entire island. How to destroy it? Why should it be destroyed? How did it come about? How can it be eliminated? These are the crucial questions.”

He rubbed his temples and sighed, "I'll ask Mr. Luo Sheng tomorrow, after all, he is an expert in this area."
