On the day of the sacrificial ceremony.
In the early morning, before the sun had fully risen, the people of Jiaolong City splashed water on the streets to clean them and make them look new.
In Jiaolong city under the rule of the sea god sect, the sacrificial ceremony is the most important day of the year. Even if the people are angry, they can only dare to be angry but dare not speak, and carefully cooperate with the requirements of the monk shangzong.
The solemn and spectacular Zhonghe Shao music is coming from the square where the Jiaolong statue is located. It is composed of dozens of musical instruments, such as chimes, chimes, bells and so on.
An hour before the sacrificial ceremony, Lu Qingshan and Zang Xiaojian came to the restaurant with a predetermined location in advance.
After ordering several famous dishes of the restaurant, they slowly tasted and talked in a low voice. It seemed that they were no different from ordinary diners.
Looking at the square from the current location, it can be seen that before the huge dragon statue, a Circular Mound Altar has been set up for sacrifice. There are sky lanterns hanging in the southwest of the altar, burning sacrificial incense, and the clouds are ethereal.
In the center of the round Mound Altar, instead of the divine tablets, there is a huge pit with a depression. In the pit, there are many Green Sandalwood that will emit strange fragrance when burning. On the Green Sandalwood, there are a wide range of expensive things such as pearls, jade, silk and silk.
On both sides under the altar, the city guards of Jiaolong city stand still on both sides to maintain order.
In the southeast corner of the altar, there are many ritual musical instruments. Musicians who are proficient in musical instruments are playing music, and the continuous ringing of bells starts from this.
At this time, the spectators in the square were crowded with thousands of people. They painted a mysterious symbol on their faces and tied a white and blue ribbon on their left arm. So many people gathered, but there was no noise and were very solemn.
These are the people who are forced by the sea god sect to come to watch the ceremony and sacrifice. How can mortals dare to resist the orders of the Lord and fear the authority of the monks.
……
Lu Qingshan sipped his tea and wandered between the tables.
In the window position, before Lu Qingshan came, there was an old man with bright spirit. There were many spirit animal bags hanging around the old man's waist. It seems that he is a beast with good cultivation.
The old man was drinking alone, his eyes were wandering, and his attention was obviously on the sacrificial ceremony in the square. But after Lu Qingshan and Tibetan sword arrived, he looked at Lu Qingshan's table from time to time.
In the southeast corner, two burly men ordered a full table of wine and vegetables and drank a large bowl of sea water. They looked very refreshing.
Next to Lu Qingshan and Zang Xiaojian, there is a family of three. Both husband and wife are very young. A little boy of three or four years old is very clever sitting next to his mother.
The wife was feeding the children with steaming porridge with a spoon, and her eyes were full of kindness.
......
A long time later.
"Coming." Tibetan sword whispered.
Three blue lights flashed across the sky not far away.
The blue light gradually approached the altar and finally landed in front of the altar to show its shape.
Three sea gods in blue Taoist robes were worshipped.
One Jindan Friar and two foundation building friars were responsible for presiding over the sacrificial ceremony.
Bang bang!
With the arrival of the three monks, the bell suddenly stopped, the drum turned loud, and the sacrificial ceremony officially began.
As soon as the golden elixir immortal of the sea god sect arrived, his left hand raised a flame, threw it, shot it into the accumulated salary in the pit in the center of the altar, and then scolded, "welcome God!"
Scurry!
The firewood in the deep pit in the center of the altar immediately raised fireworks.
The sacrificial priest who had been waiting on one side came up with a sacrificial text in his hands, and bowed down respectfully in front of immortal Jindan.
Immortal Jindan received the sacrifice. His spiritual power was hidden in the sound. He recited the sacrifice loudly, and the sound resounded everywhere.
After reciting the sacrifice, the two foundation building friars of the sea god sect also led 99 boy boys and girls up from both sides of the altar.
Restricted by the art, these boys and girls are motionless, like a string puppet, controlled by others, but their eyes are full of fear and panic.
Immortal Jindan's face was calm, and he gently spit out three words, "sacrifice to the boy!"
The two foundation builders of the sea god sect were ordered to pinch their hands, and these boys and girls involuntarily walked up to the altar step by step.
On the altar with fireworks, the boys jumped directly into the fire pit without any pause and hesitation.
The firewood was burning in flames. As soon as the boys and girls entered it, they were surrounded by flames. Their expressions twitched and painful. However, the boys and girls who were banned by monks with spells could not even cry.
Their childish faces loomed in the flames, gradually burned into coke and disappeared.
Some of the people watching the ceremony were indignant on their faces, sad in their hearts, and red in their eyes, but more people were numb.
The sacrificial ceremony is still in progress.
......
Above the restaurant.
Lu Qingshan patted the king of the West mouse on the head, looked at a family of three who were about to go out after paying the bill, and whispered, "follow up and look at their foothold. Don't be found."
The West mouse king sucked the fat oil on his claws. He didn't want to leave.
"If you do well, I'll give you two blood beads." Lu Qingshan wrote lightly.
The king of the West mouse was shocked when he heard the speech. He patted his chest and promised, "it's just a person. The tiger eats bean sprouts. It's a piece of cake. I'll give it to the rat!"
King westmouse jumped and quickly disappeared into the restaurant.
The West mouse king is not arrogant. Although he has no means of attack, his ability to hide his breath is really outstanding. Tracking others is really good for him.
"Why are they?" Zang Xiaojian didn't understand. "Obviously, the monk who has been paying attention to us and the sacrificial ceremony is more suspicious?"
Lu Qingshan shook his head and explained: "due to the geographical relationship of Jiaolong Island, people on the island more or less have a little accent. They speak with a split mouth, like talking with their mouth tilted. But when the old man just talked to the sophomore, his accent was biased. Obviously, he is not from the island, but from the inland like you and me.
Moreover, you see that the old man has four spirit beast bags hanging around his waist, which shows that he is a beast and his cultivation is not low. It's not surprising to see through the poor illusion of the king of the West mouse.
People from other places are still animal monks. They are a little curious about the sacrificial ceremony and the king of the Western mouse. It is not surprising that they pay more attention to it. Obviously, this organization that wants to overthrow the sea god sect is a local force, and the possibility of having foreign monks is not high. "
"As for the three members of this family," Lu Qingshan chuckled, "have you ever seen a mother who will feed her children the extremely hot meat porridge? And which child can eat the hot porridge just baked without changing his face?
In addition, you may not have noticed that from the beginning to the end, the husband only took the initiative to look at his wife once, and there was almost no real eye contact with his children. Is it like a family of three? "
"If husband and wife are fake husband and wife and children are fake children, only ghosts are true."
