Chapter 121: Sacrifice
The villagers who were caught by Chen Xing and asked a bunch of questions were confused and answered in confusion: "This is our custom. Today is a sacrifice. What happened before and disappeared. It's really strange."
Then they broke free from Chen Xing's hand and joined their sacrificial team again. Chen Xing and the others looked at each other and saw doubts in each other's eyes.
In order to dispel everyone's doubts, Chen Xing and others planned to investigate and study the village to see what was going on.
Finally, I found that every household would put stone statues of mountain gods to worship before, but now there are no stone statues of mountain gods, and the villagers passing by them all brought them a strange feeling, as if they had come to a strange place.
"Clang...Clang..." The strong bell ran through from a distance and spread throughout the village. When the villagers around heard the bell, they all knelt down, put their hands together between their eyebrows, and kowtowed devoutly to the place where the bell came.
Everyone in the village knelt down, only Chen Xing, Ye Wen and others were still standing, which made them out of place, so Chen Xing spoke, "This is a very wrong situation. You must know that they have never said that there is this custom before."
Everyone felt that what Chen Xing said was reasonable. After all, these villagers were just worshiping the mountain gods before. From the observation just now, these people not only did not place stone statues of the mountain gods, but also forgot what had happened before, as if they had met them again.
In order to find out the truth of the matter, Chen Xing and others walked towards the bell and saw that the village chief who had taken the lead in saying that Xia Shiyu was a fairy, standing on a very high sacrificial platform, knocking on a 5-meter-wide Vajra cover.
Xia Shiyu was very excited when she saw the familiar village chief. Then, Chen Xing and others saw the sacrificial items placed below. The table was filled with cattle and sheep heads for sacrificial purposes, and this large plate of things were placed in the middle, which were covered by red cloth. I don’t know what it was.
The sacrifice was about to end and the village chief was finished. After sprinkling a handful of water down, it was completed. After watching the whole process, Xia Shiyu and others saw the village chief walking down and rushed over. Xia Shiyu walked forward and asked the village chief: "Are you sacrificial now?"
The village chief who had just come down looked up at the people in front of him, and finally looked at Xia Shiyu, nodded and said, "That's right, this is our custom every year, and we need to change clothes and bathe to sacrifice." This is strange, so Xia Shiyu continued, "But didn't you not have this custom before, you just worship the mountain god. We just discovered that every household had stone statues of the mountain god before, but now there are no more. What happened to you before?"
Chen Xing and others around him also stepped forward and told the village chief about what had happened before. When the village chief heard what they said, he clarified his thoughts and said: "Our village has always been sacrifices, and it will last for a period of time. Since you are here, you cannot go out and have to last until the end to go out."
Then, the village chief continued: "And we do not worship the mountain gods, nothing happened to us before, we have been living here."
Listening to the village chief's explanation, Xia Shiyu and others looked at each other in confusion. The village chief continued, "Since there is nothing to do, I will leave. I have to prepare for the next sacrifice." After that, he left.
Then Xia Shiyu and others had to leave, intending to observe if there was anything else wrong around them. When they reached the door, they found two strangers walking in.
The two of them did not look like villagers, but came to the village with big bags and fully armed appearance. As soon as they arrived at the village, they observed and visited them. Chen Xing and others found out that the two were wrong, so they turned to Xia Shiyu and said, "These two are probably from outside like us. They may not be good at it. We should try to talk to them as little as possible." Xia Shiyu nodded and agreed with Chen Xing's statement. They had too many things to avoid more trouble.
But thinking about what the village chief said just now, Xia Shiyu still refused to give up and said to Chen Xing: "I think this matter is not that simple, I want to ask again." Ye Wen next to him said disdainfully: "The village chief has answered this just now, what else can you ask?"
Xia Shiyu, who had never had a good impression of Ye Wen, ignored him, turned around and caught up with the village chief, used his mentality in the police station to test the village chief, and asked some questions that were very special, but never asked anything, and they all had the same answers.
