Chapter 153 Weird Things

The moon was hidden, the wind was high, and the waves on the waterfront were rough. The weather was indeed a bit unfavorable. Gilles had been worried about it since dawn, fearing that the wind and waves would be too strong tonight, and the ship would be unfavorable, and the time to transport the "cargo" would be missed.

Fortunately, the rain had stopped long ago. Although there were occasional wind and waves on the Canghe River, the river lanterns floated smoothly, so the evening business must go smoothly.

However, as long as the money did not fall into her pocket, Gilles' heart would not be at peace. Now thinking about what happened on the road, she became irritable again.

It turned out that just a moment ago, as soon as the carriages and horses of Zuo Shuai Mansion turned to the road along the river, they ran into a traveling priest from an unknown family performing a ritual.

The so-called wandering sacrifice is a unique blessing ceremony of the Jin people. The shamans and witches carry the sacrifices, hold the idols, burn butter candles, and travel around a specific place to pray. It is mainly used to summon spirits.

Or sent to God.

Gilles never expected that on such a big day as tonight, someone would actually... no, someone dared to compete with Zuo Shuai's Mansion for the limelight. Those witches were singing and dancing on the street, it was so lively.

It attracted many people to gather around and watch, almost blocking the road. If it weren't for the strong cavalry of the handsome guards, who scared everyone away, Gilles would have been stopped there.

She originally attached great importance to Huazhen's ritual tonight. After all, it was related to her most important money. Now that she encountered obstacles in the way, she immediately became angry. She didn't get angry immediately because she couldn't miss the opportunity.

The anger hasn't gone away yet.

He Zhuosu knew her temperament and had already ordered someone to inquire about it. Seeing that Gilles really asked about it at this time, she smiled and said, "Master, I heard that the Zakshan family was doing the ritual there."

Hearing this, Gilles raised his eyebrows and opened his eyes a little: "Zakshan? Is that the head of the family whose daughter was sold to death? Something happened to his family again?"

"Master has a very good memory. It was him who caused something strange to happen to his family again." He Zhuo flattered Gilles, then lowered his voice and said mysteriously:

"Their family is probably running into some bad luck these days. His daughter died inexplicably not long ago. Zakshan caused a big fuss, but in the end he couldn't do anything about it. He himself was promoted to the rank of

Head man.

Now it was Zakshan's turn. He said that he slept well at home the night before. When he got up the next morning, he was shocked to find that this man had disappeared, along with several servants.

There is no trace. There are rumors about their family in the city these days."

"Hey, this sounds a bit scary." The anger on Gilles' face had dissipated, and a hint of fear appeared on his face.

She had also heard about Zakshan. First, his daughter was mistakenly sold as a slave and died tragically in a certain leader's home. Now he himself has followed in his daughter's footsteps, and his life or death is uncertain.

For a moment, Gilles thought of the weird stories on the grassland, and couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart, and her hands and feet were a little cold. She quickly picked up the milk tea and took a sip. When the warmth entered her stomach, she felt better.

He Zhuoqing knew that she would be afraid, so he slowly said the words of comfort that he had thought of long ago: "This Zakshan deserves it, and he is not sincere. His daughter died, and he didn't blame the person who kidnapped and trafficked his daughter.

Mu Na, a black Thai untouchable, smashed all the mountain god statues he worshiped at home. Now it is the mountain god who punishes him.

The servant heard that when the shaman was praying for the gods in his house, the whole newly built altar in his house was burned. The shaman said that this was the mountain god who was angry, and only water could quench the mountain god's anger.

In anger, they asked their family to perform a ritual ceremony in a place with water."

She leaned forward again and whispered: "There are rumors outside that Zakshan's soul was probably taken away by the mountain god, but now his body has not been found. His sons are busy trying to seize the child, and they don't care.

These messy things.

The servant heard the message from the person below that the ceremony just now was very small, and only four butter candles were lit, which could not burn for a long time. Only the woman Zakshan was crying and cheering.

There is no interest in the candle."

He Zhuo shook his head and said "tsk tsk" a few times, and said: "If you offend the mountain god, you will naturally get nothing good."

Gilles nodded, finally understanding the cause and effect, and also knew that this was due to dishonesty in worshiping the gods, and it was not a ghost. Feeling a little more at ease, he held the tea cup in his palm and walked out quietly.

After a while, God just said:

"That's all, I won't argue with them. This matter will be over. Besides, this family has attracted the fire of the mountain god. You tell the people below to stay away and don't get bad luck."

He Zhuozheng wished that there would be less trouble, and said hurriedly: "My master is exactly what I said. I cannot be more kind-hearted, so I should just pity their family."

While he was talking, the driver had already arrived at Tongji Pier. Gilles held the hand of the little maid and stepped out of the carriage. Looking up, he saw a three-story ship moored on the water. It was majestic, extraordinary and full of energy.

The boat was lit up with bright yellow lanterns, which were as bright as day. The boat was decorated like a fairy boat in the sky. The people on the river bank looked up and were amazed.

Looking at the deck of the ship, a high altar has been set up. Two rows of tallow candles are as red as fire. There are ten witches and eight priests under the stage, all wearing gorgeous robes. The altar

There were twenty boys and girls standing below, all dressed in colorful clothes. Each of them held a polished magic weapon in their little hands, which shimmered under the candlelight.

Seeing this situation, even though Gilles was worried about money, she still felt that this ostentation was enough. No matter how picky Mang Tai was, he couldn't find anything wrong with her.

"Master, this scene is really beautiful, even it is not much worse than the grand festival in Beijing." He Zhuo on the side said in a low voice, his tone was full of compliments.

Gille felt slightly satisfied, raised the corners of his lips, and turned his gaze to the other three large ships moored in the distance.

Each of the three boats also had altars and altars arranged, but the lights were not as bright as on the tall boats, and there were not as many people praying as there were on the tall boats, so they did not look so eye-catching.

However, Gilles looked at the three ships far more eagerly than when he looked at the tower ship.

Most of her "cargo" was concentrated on those few boats, and the only ones loaded in the tall boats were the people and animals originally owned by the Shuai Mansion, which was only a fraction of the total.

Seeing that everything was well arranged, He Zhuo quickly brought over the pledge note that he had just received. Gilles glanced at it and saw that the amount of money was all in order. She was already smiling with folds on her face.

I saw the candlelight in front of me as white and silver light, and I felt more confident.

After tonight, everything she wants and wants will be at her fingertips. How can you teach her not to be elated?

Sorry, dear friends, there is always only one update. I am coding very slowly for some reason. It takes two or three hours to write a thousand words. I can't concentrate enough. I'm sorry...
