Volume 1: Swan Goose Chapter 414: The New Ghost Annoys the Wronged Old Ghost (2)
--rescue--
"I thought your Chishui Sect was so powerful, but you were afraid of ghosts! Bah! You have done all the bad things, and I will do justice to God today!" Toto laughed proudly, holding up the golden spiked mace and pounced.
past.
These men in yellow clothes were no match for Toto at all. He just waved a few sticks casually, and several men in yellow clothes were smashed into sieves and fell to the ground dead.
There was only one man in yellow who had been hiding behind. When he saw the scene of blood flowing in front of him, he was so frightened that he peed his pants.
Toto laughed loudly and approached him step by step. The man cried out in fear and stepped back step by step.
With no way to retreat, the man fell down on the coffin, his legs too weak to stand up. He dropped the shovel in his hand, knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "Hero, spare your life..."
Before the last word was finished, the branches behind him swayed for a while, and then a pale-faced ghost with disheveled hair hung down from the tree and came face to face with the man.
The man turned around slowly and tremblingly. When he saw the bride who was pretending to be a corpse, without saying a word, he just rolled his eyes, stepped back, and took his breath away.
"Hu Qi!" Toto rushed towards him and pulled him down.
"I'm fine!" Unexpectedly, the ghost was actually dressed up by Hu Qi.
He wiped off the heavy makeup on his face, looked at the graveyard and said solemnly: "We must rescue Miss Qianqian quickly!"
Toto scratched his head: "But in which coffin is the girl Qianqian!"
Although Hu Qi was scared, he bravely walked around the cemetery.
Then, he knelt down and started digging. Seeing this, Toto knelt down and helped him dig the grave.
After a while, the lids of the two coffins were exposed. The two were overjoyed and hurriedly dug deeper.
Both coffins were dug out, but the coffin lids were so heavy that Hu Qi couldn't move them. Toto also spent a lot of effort to open the coffin lids.
"Oh my god!"
Toto glanced inside and sat back in fright. Hu Qi quickly ran over to take a look and saw a ghastly skull inside.
Hu Qi patted Toto on the shoulder and comforted him: "It's okay, it's just a skeleton. Please open the other one too, brother!"
Toto stabilized his mind before standing up again. He walked to the other coffin and used all his strength to open the coffin lid.
He carefully looked inside and immediately exclaimed in surprise: "Brother Hu, it's really Qianqian girl!"
Hu Qi hurriedly ran over, stretched out her hand to check her breathing, and breathed a long sigh of relief: "Great, I'm still breathing!"
After saying that, he took her out of the cold coffin.
Then he put her on Toto's back and said softly: "Brother, we will be in trouble next. We have to leave this place as soon as possible. You take Miss Qianqian back and protect her. If they find that the grave has been dug, we will be in trouble."
Got it!"
The smile returned to Toto's face, and he said firmly: "Don't worry! After returning to Guanyi, I will protect her every step of the way until Xiaolu comes back!"
After saying that, the two of them took the unconscious Mu Qianqian and hurried down the mountain, jumped on their horses and ran towards the inn.
The two of them quickly returned to the inn under the cover of night, found a woman to change her clothes, and followed the inn's instructions to bleed Mu Qianqian to detoxify her body.
Toto and Hu Qi have been waiting by her bedside, waiting for her to wake up.
It was already half past midnight, and both of them had dozed off. In the quiet night, a sound suddenly came from the bed.
Hu Qi woke up immediately. He ran over quickly and saw Mu Qianqian frowning uneasily, as if she was about to wake up.
Hu Qi pushed her gently and called out: "Miss Mu, Miss Mu! Wake up!"
Mu Qianqian rubbed her eyes and asked in a hoarse voice: "I...where am I?"
Seeing her regaining consciousness and learning that Yicheng had not lied to them, Hu Qi was overjoyed.
"This is an inn? Do you remember? Our inn is in Jiangning Mansion!"
"Jiangning Mansion?" Mu Qianqian stood up and shook her head. She still seemed to be in a trance.
"Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Toto also came over, his face full of concern. Chinese website
Mu Qianqian felt her mouth and said aggrievedly: "I'm so thirsty, I want to drink water!"
Toto grinned and walked over quickly holding the kettle.
Mu Qianqian didn't care about anything and quickly drank half of the water bottle before she felt better.
She tried to stretch her muscles and asked, "How long have I been sleeping? Why don't I have any strength in my body?"
Hu Qi could only tell her the things taught by Chishui in a tactful way, bit by bit, so as not to arouse her too much emotion.
The more Mu Qianqian listened, the more surprised she became. She didn't expect so many things to happen when she was in a coma.
"How did you rescue me?"
Toto grinned and said, "We just left the tomb..."
Hu Qi covered his mouth and changed his words: "This is a plan we and Lu Ning made to rescue you first!"
He was afraid that telling her about the cemetery would frighten her.
Mu Qianqian was startled and asked quickly: "By the way, where are Lu Ning and senior brother?"
Hu Qi smiled slightly and said, "They should be back soon, we have an appointment!"
Mu Qianqian nodded and said thoughtfully: "That's great, senior brother... nothing will happen, otherwise... I will be in trouble..."
Hu Qi asked again: "Do you really not remember anything about this period of time?"
Mu Qianqian thought about it carefully and shook her head: "I really don't remember anything! I only remember that after the three of us were arrested, they gave me a kind of water to drink, and I lost consciousness. When I woke up, I
It’s here!」
Hu Qi nodded and said softly: "Then you should have a good rest. Brother Toto is guarding here. You will be fine! I'll go out and wait for them to come back!"
Mu Qianqian nodded and lay down again, because like Lu Ning, her whole body was sore and weak.
Hu Qi walked out of the door and looked up at the desolate moonlight. She was always uneasy in her heart.
He had been trying his best to endure his uneasiness just now, because he didn't want Toto and Qianqian to worry.
But his heart has always been tied to Lu Ning: It's already this time, and they still don't have any news. Could it be that something went wrong?
But he shook his head desperately and told himself: No news is sometimes good news! Until the last moment, you have to believe her, she will definitely try her best to come back! Because everyone she cares about is waiting for her.
He walked to the door of the inn, leaned against the wisteria tree in front of the door, took out his jade flute, put it to his lips, and started playing it gently.
The sound of the flute is melodious and melodious, containing endless longing, as if calling a sweetheart who has not returned for a long time!
From the bright moon hanging high in the sky, until the east turned white, and wisteria petals covered his white clothes, Lu Ning and the others still didn't come back.
Hu Qi looked into the distance with a sinking face and murmured: "It seems that we will have to fight to the death today!"
——River Sacrifice Ceremony——
The pomegranate flowers in May are as bright as red brocade, the hibiscus grows luxuriantly, and the reed grass exudes a faint fragrance.
I don’t know when it started, but a square altar rose from the flat ground of Luoshui River.
Around the altar, according to eight directions, there is a stone pillar engraved with a giant dragon and a river god. In front of each stone pillar is a man in yellow, holding a black flag and standing straight facing outward.
On this day, the entire Jiangning Mansion was almost deserted. All the people gathered around the Luoshui River, waiting for the legendary river ceremony that would keep everyone away from diseases and bring good weather.
As soon as the auspicious time comes, gongs and drums suddenly sound by the river.
A group of people in yellow clothes carried two chariots and walked majestically towards the river. On the opposite side, another group of people in yellow clothes came slowly, carrying a small boat tied with red silk.
After the three-pound gong sounded, Meng Xiniang, dressed in a green dress and with glamorous makeup, walked down the chariot slowly, step by step, surrounded by people.
Get on the altar.
For all the people who believe in the Chishui Sect, this is the first time they have seen the mysterious and sacred goddess.
Everyone was so excited that they knelt down on the spot and murmured some words. Some even shed tears.
Meng Xiniang stood gracefully in the middle, raised her proud chin, waved her sleeves to everyone, and shouted loudly:
"Your Majesty!"
As soon as he finished speaking, four women in yellow clothes held the sacrifices in their hands, walked slowly onto the altar, and stood on both sides of the Shinto.
Meng Xiniang glanced at the animal and shouted: "Bleed it to sacrifice to the gods!"
The four women in yellow immediately took out their daggers and slashed the neck of the sacrifice in their hands, causing blood to splash everywhere and cover the altar.
Meng Xiniang bent down, dipped her fingers in blood, and drew a talisman on her forehead.
Immediately, she turned to Luoshui River, raised her hands high, and shouted loudly:
"The sky is about to die, and the yellow sky will stand. The red water will clear the flames, and the goddess will come. The sun and moon will return, and the world will be blessed!"
All the believers knelt down and bowed to the river while shouting in agreement.
Meng Xiniang took three sticks of incense, lit them in the brazier, held the incense and bowed three times to the Luoshui River.
Then, she opened the mud seal of a wine altar, walked slowly around the altar, and poured the wine evenly on the altar.
Following a burst of sonorous, powerful, ethereal and long drum music sounded.
Meng Xiniang danced her hands and feet, and with plaintive emphasis, she looked up to the sky and slowly recited the memorial text:
"Only the river has a god, and he has a duty. For more than ten years, the river has been full of water, and the crops have been destroyed. Now I pray and move to another country. The fields are full of crops, and the people are happy and healthy. I comfort the common people below, and the sky above. I pay homage to Chen Bo Dian,
It’s just a matter of time. God has a spirit, come and enjoy it.”
She danced and sang over and over again.
Congregants and people by the river also knelt on the ground and sang along. A man wearing a bright red wedding dress and a gauze mask sat on a huge chariot and was slowly carried to the altar.
At the same time, a river goddess woman wearing a phoenix crown and a red hijab walked slowly towards the river.
As the setting sun gradually sets in the west, the orange-red light reflects everything red. The myriad rays of rays of light cast a holy aura on the two of them, giving them a strange and coquettish color.
