Wow!

There were wisps of green smoke coming out of the firewood pot,

Tongues of fire lick the bottom of the pot,

The fat in the pot started to boil.

The villagers who gathered around to watch the ceremony watched the pot of oil gradually boiling, and the noise became much quieter.

The oil surface ripples in waves,

Foam gathers in the ripples,

Bubbles gather one by one, constantly breaking and reforming.

Li Yueshan reached out and flicked the oil pan, feeling the blazing temperature in his palms.

He nodded secretly,

He said to Su Wu next to him: "Bring over the food basket under the table at the back."

Su Wu turned around and went to the table behind to get a food basket.

In the food basket, there was only a bowl of steamed 'hunsuo rice'.

The rice grains of this bowl of soul-collecting rice were covered with yellow stains. Li Yueshan took it out of the basket with gloves on. A shuddering smell suddenly spread out around the fat old man, centered on the fat old man.

Some villagers gathered at the edge of the clearing felt the cold air brushing against their faces and necks.

He immediately curled up.

The noisy discussion suddenly disappeared.

Silence fell all around.

"Dear fellow citizens!"

Lifting up the bowl of soul-collecting rice that imprisoned 'Tanjia Village Li Gui', Li Yueshan looked around and said: "This is the group of men, women, and children from Qingshi Nianzi Village who jointly invited the old man to be the stove team.

The ‘Tanjiacun Ligui’ was taken into custody for you!

This monster is entrenched around Tanjia Village.

It makes it difficult for everyone to sleep and eat well,

In some families, the father and mother died because of this strange beast.

The pillars of some homes collapsed,

In some cases, the entire family perished!

now,

This Li Gui was caught by the old man, and the old man, his great disciple——"

Speaking of which,

Li Yueshan held a coarse porcelain bowl in one hand and patted Su Wu on the shoulder with the other hand: "Our master and disciples worked together to imprison this fierce creature!

present,

What do you guys want to say?

Want to scold,

Want to cry,

Then he said with all his heart,

Swear as much as you like, cry as much as you like - but one thing is, everyone must remember their respective promises - the big guys jointly asked the old man and the stove team to catch this Li Wei.

Regarding this,

Do you guys have any objections?!"

Master speaks casually,

But there is a faint sense of solemnity in the casual vernacular.

It seems that 'the whole village, men, women, old and young, jointly request' is very important and is an important part of this ritual of 'opening the temple and pretending to be dirty'!

Su Wu held his breath,

He raised his eyes and looked at the surrounding villagers.

The faces of the villagers also became much more serious.

Waiting for Master to finish speaking,

It was as if they had agreed,

They all said in unison: "Yes!

We are the ones who jointly want to imprison this fierce thief!

Each of us can't wait to throw this Li Gui into the oil pan and fry it!"

After speaking in unison,

Uncontrollable howls came from the crowd: "Yue'er, my wife——"

"Dad! Mom!"

"Catch this bastard today and fry it in front of your old man to relieve your old man's anger!"

Surrounded by three stove eyes,

The villagers gathered in twos and threes and in family units.

Use a wooden stick to draw a circle on the soil, or burn paper in the circle.

Or place the deceased ancestors in the circle,

Keep kowtowing, crying, and prostrating.

The crowd that seemed to be laughing and noisy before,

At this time, I was enveloped in another solemn and solemn atmosphere that also contained a tragic atmosphere.

Li Yueshan looked around, grinned, and said: "Okay!

This is the agreement between the noble villagers and elders of Qingshi Nianzi Village, and even the deceased villagers and our Yinxi Maizao team!

Post your name!"

The fat old man's words fell to the ground,

An old man who had been waiting in the corner came over shakily.

He handed a roll of white paper wrapped with silk rope to Su Wu,

Su Wu received Li Yueshan's instruction,

Untie the silk rope,

Pull open the white paper that is three feet long and wide.

Shocked to see,

There are finger prints on the white paper that are gray, black or red!

Those are the handprints of all the villagers in Qingshi Nianzi Village who dipped their fingers into pot ashes, incense ashes, and blood and pressed them on the paper!

Each handprint is arranged in a huge circle,

Surrounding the center is a word "fire".

"Burn it!"

The fat old man looked at the handprints on the white paper and then turned to Su Wu.

Su Wu nodded,

He filled the inexplicably heavy white paper in his hand into the stove hole.

boom!

The cries of grief from the surrounding villagers gathered into a tide,

There is a great power in the dark, following the wailing sounds of the villagers, gathering towards the firewood stove that is heating the fried oil,

The mute girl lowered her head,

Seeing Zao's eyes, countless pairs of hands suddenly appeared,

Those palms holding fire,

push it upward,

The fire is lifted up,

The flame turned from golden red to purple red——

The surrounding temperature is extremely high again,
