"You're awake, sit down quickly."

The speaker was a woman with a delicate appearance, and a pair of small tiger teeth showed out when she spoke.

"Sister, it's Brother Chen."

"You have been sleeping for a few days. You must be hungry. I will cook for you."

Long Qianxue laughed and turned around to get busy without waiting for Chen Haodong to speak.

"Isn't your sister?"

Chen Haodong asked doubtfully, remembering that Long Yang said that his sister was sick.

"The monk cured my sister."

Before Chen Haodong could speak, Long Yang spoke again.

"Brother Chen, thank you and the monk, otherwise my sister and I don't know what we would do."

"You should do whatever you have to do. You and I are destined to help each other."

Chen Haodong smelled the aroma of food and his stomach growled.

"Hey, Brother Chen, the food will be ready soon."

After Long Yang finished speaking, he ran to the kitchen and brought a bowl of oily cakes, bacon, salted duck eggs and other delicious foods, and placed them on the seat.

"Brother Chen, come over and eat."

Chen Haodong had been sleeping for so long, devouring the food on the table.

Not to mention it has a unique flavor that is really different from what you eat outside.

"It smells so good, you won't even wait for me to eat meat."

Chen Haodong looked at the door and saw the monk standing at the door.

"Monk."

Chen Haodong and the monk looked at each other, and there was no need to explain anything.

"Old Chen, I couldn't find it."

The monk put the matter aside. The Gu master in the village here had seen it for you before and helped you suppress the poison temporarily. He said that you were infected by the heart-wrenching poison.

If you don't solve it within half a month, your body will be taken away by the poison and you will become the puppet of the poisoner. At that time, you will be a killing machine.

"It's okay. If I'm taken away from you then, please remember to send me away."

Chen Haodong looked at the monk with firm eyes.

"Amitabha, nothing will happen to you."

The monk said firmly, and suddenly the conversation changed.

"I heard that there will be a sacrificial ceremony here in a few days, and a great Gu master will preside over it. We will go find him then."

"Hey, I guess it's a bit difficult to handle."

At this time, Long Qianxue said.

"It is said that Granny Long just became the high priest, and the previous high priest abdicated for no reason."

Long Qianxue explained.

It is said that Long Po Po is now in her fifties or sixties and is the new high priest of the M tribe.

Chen Haodong feels much better, probably because he hasn't replenished his physical strength for a long time.

"Long Yang, take us out for a walk."

"good."

"I'll go too. There will be a ceremony here in the afternoon. You can go and see it, but don't talk nonsense."

Long Qianxue said.

The four people walked out. The rain had stopped, but the farmland had turned into a pond.

"Is that over there?"

Chen Haodong pointed to where many people gathered in front, including men, women, old and young, a total of one or two hundred people.

"Brother Chen, that's where Long Po's people are drawing lots."

"What's going on?"

Chen Haodong asked without knowing why.

"Isn't there a sacrificial ceremony to be held in a few days? This is the selection of sacrifices."

Long Qianxue seemed to know a lot, and then continued.

"Whoever wins the lottery, whose doll will be a sacrifice to the mountain god."

"A live taboo? No wonder the mountains and forests here are so dark and full of dirt."

At this time, two Gu masters were talking on the platform they had set up, and then took out a bamboo stick from the wooden box.

Then two men walked down and picked up a six or seven year old girl.

This was repeated over and over again, with a total of four children in my arms. The children were sitting on the stage, smiling.

At this time, someone on the stage said something, and everyone below followed suit.

"Brother Chen, monk, kneel down."

At this time, Long Qianxue and Long Yang also knelt down.

Chen Haodong glanced at Longan and knelt down, even though he didn't understand.

"What are you doing?"

"This is a child on the altar. It means thank you for solving problems in our village."

"Do we have to offer sacrifices every year?"

"No, once every six years."

"I originally had an elder brother, but unfortunately, he was also sacrificed by Luang Phor."

Speaking of this, Long Yang shed tears.

I didn't expect that his family had this story.

After hearing this, Chen Haodong wanted to rush forward, but was stopped by the monk.

"Calm down, we are just outsiders and there are so many people here."

The monk explained that he was afraid of what Chen Haodong would do.

"Long Yang, do you have a mountain god?"

Long Yang didn't answer but said.

"I heard from my sister that there was no sacrificial activity held in the past year, and many people who went up to the mountain to chop wood and hunt died, and no bones were found."

Long Yang seemed to be recalling something before talking.

"Also, that year, the previous priest Wu died was very scary. Mudslides often occurred on the mountain."

Chen Haodong then thought that it must be something dirty. There is no god in this world.

If it is a powerful ghost or a great demon holding a position in the underworld, or someone who has succeeded in overcoming the tribulation, it is impossible for him to do such a thing.

It's scary to think about it. The toad spirit we met when we first arrived was so powerful, and now there's another big monster.

After watching for two or three hours, it started to rain again. Then the meeting ended and the four of them returned to Long Qianxue's home.

"Monk, would you like to go to the sacrificial place tonight?"

Chen Haodong wanted to see what was going on.

"But your body?"

The monk hesitated for a moment. In fact, the monk also wanted to take a look, but he didn't dare to go alone. Hearing what Chen Haodong said, he was afraid of an accident.

"Go and have a look. It's okay. If anything happens, we will withdraw the team immediately."

"Amitabha."

The monk's silence was regarded as acquiescence.

"Long Qianxue, do you know where the sacrificial ceremony will be the day after tomorrow?"

Long Qianxue looked at Chen Haodong with a look of disbelief on his face, knowing that with their strength, they would not be able to deal with the monster.

"You'd better not get involved, otherwise something bad will happen,"

Long Qianxue explained.

Both of them are kind to themselves, but they are also afraid that they will be in trouble if they meet dirty people or Gu masters.
