Chapter 36 River Sacrifice Ceremony

River Ceremony.

Pei Shiqing watched Goddess Wang standing on a huge round platform made of wood, facing the river and singing her strange chant. Under the round platform were some freshly slaughtered pigs, cattle and sheep.

The smell of blood attracted flies, and the blood on those animals had not yet drained out. The scarlet blood flowed along the land into the river, and the blood color gradually smeared the entire river surface.

Pei Shiqing was standing not far away, about five meters away from the river, but he could feel a cold air coming from the river, which seemed to freeze his soul.

The baby's cry grew from weak to strong, as if it was about to tear Pei Shiqing's eardrums.

Pei Shiqing had no choice but to distance himself from the river.

The blood on the river gradually became clearer, and some small shadows seemed to appear on the bottom of the river. White babies curled up and floated up, one after another...

Fan Yucheng looked at the scene in front of him with a pale face and covered his mouth.

The people in the village seem to have become accustomed to it. They push the carcasses of the animals they sacrificed in front of them into the river. The goddess Wang on the round platform is still singing, but if you listen carefully, you will know that the voice of the goddess Wang is getting weaker and weaker.

.

At this moment, the deafening sound of drums drowned out the singing of Goddess Wang.

It was a six-sided drum on a round platform. One drum was beaten by two people. The vibrating drum heads and the ground seemed to vibrate.

After beating the drum for an unknown amount of time, the babies and animals floating up in the river slowly sank until there were no more waves on the river surface.

Wang Shenpo was exhausted both physically and mentally. She slumped down on the round platform and was helped down by someone sent by the old village chief.

Pei Shiqing was a little worried about whether Goddess Wang would be able to seal Chen Mingyue tomorrow.

Seemingly sensing Pei Shiqing's worry, Goddess Wang said to her: "Don't worry."

Fan Yucheng's legs were a little unsteady. She reached out and grabbed Pei Shiqing's arm, and said in a tearful tone: "Pei Qing, can we really go back?"

Pei Shiqing was startled. In fact, she was not sure.

To this day, all the decisions she makes are based on what would be possible to beat the game if she were in it.

But she's not in the game.

But seeing Fan Yucheng's scared look, Pei Shiqing still nodded.

After receiving Pei Shiqing's response, Fan Yucheng felt a little relieved.

And all of Pei Shiqing's hopes were pinned on Goddess Wang. Maybe they could go back after she sealed Chen Mingyue.

Because so far, everything Pei Shiqing has encountered, whether it's the hanging rope or finding Fan Yucheng in the coffin, all point to Chen Mingyue.

If the game wants to find out the source of the game and solve the source, then Chen Mingyue is the source of the strange incident that they were involved in.

Pei Shiqing glanced at the people who were still watching her covertly, and frowned. She found that these people were really watching people closely. They monitored her 24 hours a day, making it impossible for her to go to the cave to find those people.

Fan Yucheng saw Pei Shiqing's expression and asked worriedly, "What's wrong?"

"When I came here yesterday, I met several people who were sucked into this place before. One of them said you were in the ancestral hall, so I came to rescue you. But now someone is watching me, and I can't go back to the cave now, otherwise

Call them all too, maybe tomorrow will be an opportunity to go back."

Pei Shiqing said, and suddenly asked: "What did you encounter in the ancestral hall? How did you end up being locked in a coffin?"

Fan Yucheng shook his head in confusion, "I don't know, I just remember calling you, but as I was talking, I saw a hanged man, and then someone came in from outside, grabbed me, and threw me into the ancestral hall."

"Then there seems to be a secret passage in that ancestral hall. Those people originally wanted to throw me into the secret passage..." Fan Yucheng frowned and thought for a while, "I forgot whether I had ever been to the secret passage, but somehow I ended up in the coffin.

When I woke up, I was very scared, but I couldn't push the coffin lid open, so I had to use my mobile phone to knock on the coffin to make noise to save energy."

Pei Shiqing later remembered that she had used all her strength to push open the coffin lid. Although Fan Yucheng was in the coffin, people are very strong when forced by the desire to survive, but Fan Yucheng did not push it away.

Moreover, she did not restore the coffin after they hid it, but when Boss Zhao came in later, he saw nothing unusual.

Who is helping them, Chen Mingyue?

Otherwise, who else besides Chen Mingyue could have this ability.

But why did Chen Mingyue help them?

Pei Shiqing took Fan Yucheng back to the place where they stayed yesterday and told her not to go out.

"Pei Qing, what are you going to do? Take me with you!" Fan Yucheng grabbed Pei Shiqing's arm out of habit.

"It's very easy to be in danger if you follow me. I can't take you to take risks." Pei Shiqing said subconsciously.

Fan Yucheng gently let go of her arm, lowered his head and said in a low voice, "I won't hold you back."

Pei Shiqing found that he seemed to have ignored Fan Yucheng's thoughts.

In reality, the two of them are good friends, but in the strange incident, she subconsciously regarded Fan Yucheng as an ordinary person with no power, and wanted to protect her, but forgot that even the player had to start from the new level.

Came here step by step.

My own protection now is not a good thing for Fan Yucheng.

If the world is really occupied by strange events in the future, Fan Yucheng will not be able to live under his protection forever.

"It's my fault, then you come with me." Pei Shiqing grabbed Fan Yucheng's hand and pulled her out of the house.

Pei Shiqing still went to find Mrs. Wang.

At this time, Grandma Wang was preparing talismans, and there were some two-finger-thick iron chains soaked in black dog blood in the room.

"You're here." Goddess Wang said without raising her head.

"Granny Wang, I met Chen Mingyue before I came to the ancestral hall. She was very normal at that time and saved a few girls. She also brought me to the ancestral hall later." Pei Shiqing sat down and said.

"Then she may still think that she is not dead. After she knows that she is dead, those people will probably suffer." Goddess Wang said, but her hands did not shake at all, and she drew steadily on the talisman paper.

.

"Then the long-tongued ghost we saw yesterday was her, wasn't she?" Pei Shiqing wondered.

"That's Chen Mingyue's body."

Pei Shiqing suddenly realized that this was the case.

"Then how can we seal her?"

Grandma Wang finally raised her head and smiled at Pei Shiqing, "I need you to put her body in the coffin yourself."

Pei Shiqing looked surprised, "Me?"

"Don't you dare?" Goddess Wang asked.

Pei Shiqing shook his head, as long as he could go back, there was nothing he dared not do.

Seeing her shaking her head, Grandma Wang smiled again and said: "Her body is missing now, but it may be in the ancestral hall. Please help me go and take a look."

After speaking, she handed the talisman she had just written in her hand to Pei Shiqing.

Pei Shiqing took the talisman and then dragged Fan Yucheng away.

Grandma Wang looked at Pei Shiqing's retreating figure, with a profound look in her only eye.

She is - hope.

It is the hope of everyone.

"Wang Shenpo asked me to do the preparations first and open the door." Pei Shiqing said to the strong man holding the door handle.

The two strong men looked at each other, then whispered for a while, and finally decided to ask the old village chief before opening the door.

Pei Shiqing's eyes darkened when he saw it. This village seemed to have a strict hierarchy.

The old village chief is undoubtedly at the top of the pyramid, then Mr. Zhao, then people from the Zhao family, and then some with other surnames.

Soon, Pei Shiqing entered the ancestral hall. The ancestral hall was no different from before. The dark red coffin stopped in the center of the ancestral hall.

Then she asked: "Fan Yucheng, do you still remember where the secret passage is?"

Pei Shiqing guessed that if Grandma Wang said that Chen Mingyue's body was still in the ancestral hall, then there would be only that secret passage to hide.

Fan Yucheng was about to speak when he heard someone say: "Who?! Who is talking?"
