Chapter 123 Blood-eating Goddess, Vegetables, Laolao
The chieftain took the initiative to explain: "Before we fishermen go out to sea, we have to throw blood food into the sea according to the rules, for those wandering ghosts without descendants to enjoy, so as to ensure that the village will not be disturbed after going out to sea. This is called rewarding wandering ghosts."
After he finished speaking, he paused for a while, waiting for the fortune teller Li Zhou to pick up a piece of meat to go with the wine, then he sighed and said slowly: "Yougui's appetite is getting bigger and bigger. In the past few years, we only had to feed him duck liver and chicken feet, but recently..."
Zhao Sulan, Zhao Erbao and the others were already feeling a little nauseous due to the strong smell of blood, and when they heard the clan leader's tone of "we also have our own difficulties", their hearts skipped a beat. The meat dishes that had smelled delicious just now suddenly became suspicious.
Li Zhou ate the meat he had just picked up with an expressionless face, turned his head to look at the clan leader, and signaled him to continue speaking with his eyes.
The clan leader thought to himself that you are really good at pretending, so he smiled bitterly, waved his hand and said, "This matter has nothing to do with you outsiders, there is no point in saying more."
Mystifying!
Zhao Sulan and the others spat in their hearts, but they didn't dare to pick up any more meat.
The fortune teller Li Zhou didn't understand the clan leader's hint at all and ate all the meat by himself.
Patriarch: “…”
It stands to reason that the more skilled a fortune teller is, the more cautious he is in doing things. However, this Master Xie seems to have no taboos. The clan leader gradually feels that something is not right and wants to test her.
After the meal and wine were served, he invited Li Zhou to go with him to the ceremony to thank the wandering ghosts.
He ate so much, he’d better not vomit too ugly later, the patriarch thought gloatingly.
Li Zhou smelled the aroma of ice cream. He didn't expect that he could eat ice cream after dinner. It turned out that the relationship deepened after drinking enough wine. Looking at the clan leader, he suddenly became enthusiastic.
She didn't think about it. When people say drinking to bond, they mean that both of them drink to their heart's content, not that she had to make all three kilograms of liquor by herself...
Zhao Sulan, Zhao Erbao and others felt creepy just by hearing the three words "rewarding ghosts". How could anything good be associated with ghosts?
But asking them to go backstage on their own is even more impossible.
Then a group of little actors, trembling like little chickens, lined up in a row, holding hands, and followed closely behind the fortune teller Li Zhou.
Zhao Sulan, who was at the front of the line, carefully picked up a corner of Li Zhou's robe, fearing that she would be thrown away.
Li Zhou drank three kilograms of liquor. Although she was not drunk, she felt a little intoxicated. She walked lazily on the beach, holding a banner that read "Believe it or not", and Zhao Sulan and others followed her.
If someone who doesn't know the situation is around, they might think they are playing a game.
This was increasingly different from the atmosphere the clan leader had imagined, so he had no choice but to constantly comfort himself, thinking that everything would be fine once the wandering ghost came out.
The group of people came to the seaside with different thoughts. A large ship was parked nearby, with red ribbons, red flowers and festive couplets hanging on it:
When everything goes smoothly and everyone is happy, you will get rich and gain big profits.
The ship swayed from side to side with the waves, the couplets were wet by the sea water and became darker in color. The Wang family members put down the minced meat, knelt three times and kowtowed nine times towards the sea, and burned a petition.
The paper ashes were blown up by the wind and fell on the fine white foam. The sea water beat against the gravel, and its color turned black.
The air was filled with a strong salty smell. Pale-skinned wandering ghosts surfaced one after another. They had loose hair and some had big bellies as if they were pregnant. Some had no upper and lower lips, revealing bright red gums and white teeth. Some had small heads and bodies with long tails dragging behind them. At first glance, they looked like the legendary mermaids, but upon closer inspection, they turned out to be umbilical cords.
Ying'er buried her head in Zhao Sulan's arms, Ayun hugged Zhao Erbao's thighs, and the younger children hid behind the older children, not daring to look at Yougui at all.
The voice in the distance did not let them go, shouting miserably: "Please wandering ghosts - eat the divine meat -"
A manic roar was followed by the ghosts rushing out from the sea, pounced on the minced meat, grabbed the bloody meat and stuffed it into their mouths, swallowing it down their throats without even chewing.
The loud gurgling sound of swallowing made the little actors subconsciously cover their ears, but they still couldn't stop shaking all over.
The Wang clan leader looked at the scene indifferently, keeping an eye on the expression of fortune teller Li Zhou.
The wandering ghosts finished eating the minced meat in a blink of an eye. Their hands and mouths were covered in blood, but they were still unwilling to leave.
Their eyes fell on the pale-faced Wang clan member.
People hurriedly took out shrimp lanterns, fish lanterns, clam lanterns, and crab lanterns, lit them up, and chanted the words of sacrifice: "Dear seafarer, please reincarnate as soon as possible. Please take care of the fishing village and keep it safe."
The hostility on Yougui's face dissipated a little under the light, and he turned and walked towards the sea, leaving behind a trail of bloodstains.
Just as one of the tribesmen breathed a sigh of relief and smiled as if he had survived a disaster, a big-bellied wandering ghost walked up to him and bit his neck.
Blood spurted out, covering those who were close to it. However, they dared not move, and watched helplessly as the big-bellied wandering ghost carried away the smiling head of the tribesman.
Then another ghost with an umbilical cord crawled by and pulled off a human hand...
The headless body fell to the ground, and soon only the useless butt and feet were left.
The blood-soaked Wang clan members opened their mouths and continued to sing: "Look after the fishing village~May the whole family be peaceful~"
Several tribesmen picked up the remaining parts of the headless corpse and threw them into the log tray that had contained the minced meat, apparently for recycling.
Among the little actors, the oldest ones, Zhao Sulan and Zhao Erbao, forced themselves to see this, but finally they couldn't hold it in any longer and vomited out everything they had just eaten.
Ying'er and Ayun, who were holding them, wanted to look up, but they covered their eyes.
The Wang clan leader stared at the fortune teller Li Zhou with a sinister look, and when he saw that she said nothing, he thought he had finally subdued her and snorted in his heart.
He said, how dare this little girl, who is still wet behind the ears, pretend to be something in their Wang family’s territory...
Pop.
The fortune teller Li Zhou raised his foot and walked towards the wandering ghost, interrupting his thoughts.
He opened his eyes wide in astonishment: "Thank you, Master——"
This shout caused a wandering ghost to stop and look back. He quickly lowered his voice and said, "This has been the way to reward wandering ghosts for thousands of years. Only one person died in this ceremony. It is already a blessing from our ancestors. Don't break the rules. You are a member of the Xuanmen, you should understand this principle!"
Master Xie, dressed in a gray robe, turned around, with the "Believe it or not" flag in his arms fluttering in the wind. When Zhao Sulan raised her head, she once again met her pair of mysterious dark eyes. She trembled all over and her hair stood on end.
"It has always been like this, is it right?"
Master Xie only replied with one sentence, then turned around and walked alone towards the dense swarm of wandering ghosts.
Zhao Sulan looked at her back and her heart tightened.
The Wang family members who were originally singing the sacrificial words numbly were shocked, and there was more shock and confusion in their eyes.
Yes, it has always been like this, is it right?
Fortune teller Li Zhou praised herself in her heart. Ever since she started playing this role, she has tried hard to recall the contents of the Chinese textbook to ensure that every word she said was very impressive.
Judging from everyone's reactions, her quote was quite spot on.
She is so cultured.
Although he could only remember such a short sentence, Li Zhou still boasted about himself and allowed himself to eat a few more pieces of ice cream.
As she approached, the wandering ghosts seemed to vaguely realize what she wanted to do and began to look ferocious.
The waves suddenly became violent, the color of the sea water became darker, the fishy and salty sea breeze blew, and disturbing wailing was heard in everyone's ears.
The Wang clan leader scolded him, "Why are you still standing there like an idiot? Why don't you pull her back?"
The tribesmen woke up as if from a dream and hurriedly ran to the fortune teller Li Zhou, trying to call her back.
Li Zhou took off the string of copper coins on his left hand and was about to use it to knock away the wandering ghost that was blocking his way. When his eyes fell on the copper coins, he suddenly felt dazed.
She saw that her previous simulated character, the female doctor Tan Zhao, was lying pale in the coffin, and her current body, the fortune teller Xie Lingwei, took two copper coins from the copper coin string and made them into a pair of earrings.
Xie Lingwei put the copper coin earrings on Tan Zhao's ears, bit her finger, and wrote mysterious spells all over Tan Zhao's body with her blood.
"I'm late." Xie Lingwei drew the blood curse and whispered, "But I can definitely save you... I'm a fortune teller now, I can even predict the secrets of the universe, it's easy to change your fate... Yes, it's easy..."
She kept mumbling, but Tan Zhao closed his eyes and never answered her.
Li Zhou suddenly realized.
It turns out that the copper coin earrings and the blood-red spell-casting body of the female doctor Tan Zhao were used by the fortune teller Xie Lingwei to resurrect her.
No wonder she was able to wake up even though she had become a thousand-year-old mummy.
It seems that Xie Lingwei really helped her change her fate.
Li Zhou, who was playing the simulated character seriously, did not realize that the person who woke up in the end was not the real Tan Zhao.
She felt that she was Tan Zhao, and the one who was successfully resurrected was also Tan Zhao.
"Thank you, Master—"
Several members of the Wang family reached out to the fortune teller Li Zhou, but before they touched her, the copper coins in Li Zhou's hand flew up, emitting a red light that bounced the few people away.
Li Zhou didn't know why, but he felt depressed even though the resurrection ceremony was successful.
As her mood worsened, the copper coin's momentum became more and more alarming.
Every three copper coins make up one Yao, and eighteen copper coins make up six Yao.
The six lines formed a hexagram, and the hexagrams formed a formation. The wandering ghost blocking the road suddenly felt a strong force and flew to both sides.
The Wang clan leader was about to howl, but the next moment, he saw the sea water also being separated by this force.
He shut his mouth.
On the seabed piled with skeletons, a white, round boulder appeared in front of everyone. Around the boulder, a group of wandering ghosts who were praying devoutly turned their heads and looked straight at Li Zhou.
Li Zhou didn't look at them, his eyes fell directly on the snow-white boulder.
This is not ice cream, it's a snow mountain.
That’s right, a sensible ice cream should grow this big!
Li Zhou walked towards the ice cream and suddenly found that he didn't have a spoon.
Should she hold it and chew it? She couldn't ruin her image like this.
She looked at the copper coins in front of her, and suddenly she had an idea, so she used the copper coins to form the shape of a spoon.
In front of everyone's eyes, Master Xie walked up to the abnormally smooth evil sphere, formed a Big Dipper formation with copper coins, and blasted at the huge monster.
A pale light burst out from the surface of the giant spherical ball. A group of terrifying figures wearing hoods, with blood-red eyes and silver-white hair, appeared and disappeared in the ball.
The Wang clan leader was covered in cold sweats, and he seemed to hear crazy shouts in his ears. His knees went weak and he almost fell to the ground.
In the temple of Wangjia Village, an invisible force came in time to isolate the patriarch and his people from the howling.
The Wang clan leader held his shaking knees and gasped for breath.
Marquis Xianying and Prince Zhenhai took action!
However, even so, they did not interfere in the battle between Master Xie and the ball.
Who exactly is this Master Xie?
Not only does she dare to attack the evil god worshipped by wandering ghosts, but even the two sea gods who protect the fishermen dare not provoke her!
Patriarch Wang recalled what he had said and suddenly broke out in a sweat.
The fortune teller Li Zhou, who had his back to him, suddenly stopped.
She saw the face of the cloaked man in the cobblestone clearly and wondered how those people from Fangshen Sect got into her ice cream.
Chu Shen and others from the Fangshen Sect, who were bent on finding the trace of the evil god for the Divine Doctor, sensed the familiar scent on the copper coin beside fortune teller Li Zhou, and recalled the same copper coin earrings that the Divine Doctor wore, and tears flowed from their eyes.
Could it be one of our own?
After leaving Fengzhou, they headed south and rushed here immediately after receiving the news of the evil god.
The good news is that there really is an evil god here, and the bad news is also that there really is an evil god here.
Fang Shen will no longer care about them now.
Without the protection of the Lord God, the believers are no match for other evil gods.
so……
Godly doctor, come on!
