When the last ray of light on the horizon completely disappeared, the world was completely shrouded in darkness.
The stars are shining and the wind is blowing gently.
A bright moon hangs high in the sky, with no clouds in sight.
The sky is dotted with stars, forming a river.
The night in Longxi Village is very lively, and all kinds of things that are unclear or not real come out.
At this time, all the villagers should have gone to bed, but surprisingly, the vast majority of them, regardless of gender, age or status, were standing outside their houses. They had sincere expressions and were staring in a certain direction.
As if waiting for something to come.
As for what it was, Xiao Xu, who was hiding in the room and peeking, had no idea.
"Master Liu, do you feel like they are praying?"
Jiang Shichuan's curious baby face showed up again, this time without any concealment, staring straight at Liu Qianfo.
"I don't know. If you want to know, go ask Lord Shen directly. I'm just here for fun."
Liu Qianfo raised his eyebrows and spoke casually. Before he finished, he poured himself a cup of tea and drank it all in one gulp.
On the other hand, Shen Yanjin, who was sitting opposite, held two black stones in his hands and looked at them silently. Occasionally, he would speak, which was just a "hmm".
This expressionless face made Xiao Xu more and more suspicious whether he had conducted a serious investigation.
No one lit a candle in the room, and it was pitch black.
Jiang Shichuan, this dead kid, is a typical busybody who likes to watch the fun and has a lot of meddlesome things to do. He has endless things to say and nag about all day long.
His quietest time is when he is sleeping.
…
Xiao Xu glanced at the sky outside the window. It was a big round moon. The full moon on the fifteenth day of the lunar month was the brightest. So, what would happen in the village next?
"O Divine Dragon, use our flesh to sacrifice to all things in heaven and earth, and restore our clan's longevity, so that it will never decline."
The old voice echoed in the air and drifted into the ears of all awake people.
Sacrifice?
A big fire was lit in front of the river in Longxi Village. More than a dozen villagers gathered around the fire, dancing in an untuned manner. Some of them were beating drums and some were playing flutes.
This sacrificial ritual is mysterious and ancient, as if it were a relic from ancient times.
As for the ballads they were singing, Xiao Xu, who was in the room, suddenly felt that they sounded familiar, as if he had heard them somewhere before.
It moved its little head, but it was all confused and couldn't think of anything.
Looking at the priest in front of it, its gaze fell on the azure black cauldron that was carried out by six, seven or eight people.
This tripod is very big, even bigger than the one I saw at the entrance of the village before.
However, the structure and shape of the tripod are almost exactly the same, with no difference.
They held the Azure Dragon Cauldron high and sang, "O Divine Dragon, with our flesh and blood, we will offer sacrifices to all things in heaven and earth, restoring the longevity of our clan, which will never decline."
The drums sounded, and the music suddenly became louder and louder, as if piercing through the clouds and rushing up to the sky.
Whoosh…
The wind is howling, and all things resonate.
The fire that the villagers gathered around showed no sign of dying down, but instead burned more and more vigorously.
The old village chief took a piece of grass from a thin little man, then raised it above his head, hummed a few words, and then threw it towards the Qinglong Ding.
As the grass was thrown in, the fire was suddenly extinguished in an instant.
Xiao Xu clearly felt that the water in the river began to flow backwards.
Until the old village chief threw another headless creature into the Qinglong Ding, all the spiritual energy in Longxi Village began to gradually fade away.
"Why do I suddenly feel so dissatisfied..."
Jiang Shichuan's eyes rolled back and he fell to the ground with a thud.
This action really scared Xiao Xu.
