Being fooled by fierce beasts to travel through the beginning is fleeing famine
Chapter 177 Sacrifice 2
Qingyan looked at the old lady with some doubts, "Auntie, is it going to rain? Is this the formation of the formation you said?"
The old lady nodded, "On the first day of every sacrificial day, the formation is activated, and there is nothing from the outside, but the village is either pouring rain or thick black fog, or it can roll people into the sky windy.
At first everyone thought it was because of the bad weather, God is not beautiful, and there is no good weather every time there is a sacrifice. Later, someone went out to buy things and did not come back. After three days, he came back and told what he had seen outside. Only then did we know that we were isolated up.
Later, the villagers who didn't know where they were, all went to the village head, and they kept asking, and finally found out the reason.So what if you know, no one can leave the village. "
Qingyan looked puzzled, "Why? Can't you take your family to live in another place?"
The old lady shook her head, and said with a sad face: "No, none of the people who went out lived a year. This is the result of many villagers' experiments. My old man and eldest son are..."
She paused, then continued with a choked voice: "13 years ago, my eldest daughter was just 15 years old, and she was the most outstanding in the whole village. The second year of sacrifice.
But the village chief’s family didn’t have a man of the right age, and other families in the village didn’t dare to rob women from their ancestors, for fear of being punished. We thought about it, and finally the father and son left the village with Yu’er.
Unexpectedly, the news of their death came within a month!It was killed by bandits, when we went to identify the body, the body was not complete..."
She was a little trembling and couldn't continue.
Qingyan patted her hand and comforted her: "You can't come back to life after death. Please forgive me. By the way, when I came from Qingfeng Town yesterday, I met the bandits in Hutou Village who were being arrested by officers and soldiers. I heard that they were The remnants of the bandits here are merged together, maybe your enemy is in it, and now they have suffered retribution."
The old lady said with a blank face: "What bandits in Hutou Village? My son went to Qingfeng Town yesterday, otherwise he wouldn't have met you. Why didn't he hear about it?"
"Yes, girl, I just went to Qingfeng Town to sell prey yesterday, and I haven't heard of any bandits in Hutou Village?"
Yin Keqin quickly walked in from the outside, patted the dust on his body and said.
Qingyan was taken aback, didn't she?Her eyes flickered, and she said with some uncertainty: "Then do you know that the officers and soldiers cleared out the bandits' cottages nearby?"
The two shook their heads, looking bewildered.
Qingyan had a bad guess, she couldn't have traveled to another point in time, right?Like ten years ago?
The problem now is that she doesn't know how many years she and Chou Chou wore before, so she can't determine how many years later or how many years ago it is now.
You can also ask, Qingyan said to them: "Mother, brother Yin, do you know which dynasty, generation and year it is now?"
The old lady looked at her inexplicably, not knowing why she asked such a question.
Yin Keqin replied directly: "I don't know exactly which dynasty it is now, our side is relatively closed, few people come, and few talk about national affairs.
However, when I went to the town to sell prey two years ago, I sold it to a merchant. I chatted with him a few words, and he said that the Central Plains will soon be pacified. The dynasty of China is called... By the way, it is called the Song Dynasty! "
Qingyan opened her eyes wide, "Song Chao!?"
Yin Keqin gave her a strange look, and didn't understand why she was so surprised. Normally, she came from Youzhou, and she should have seen more than them on the way, but now it seems that he doesn't know as much as he does?
Of course, as a woman, it's normal not to understand these things, just like his mother, who never cares about these things and only focuses on her own one-third of an acre of land.
Qingyan took a deep breath and asked again: "Brother Yin, do you know how many years it is now?"
Yin Keqin nodded, "Because dynasties change too quickly outside, our village is counted from the Tang Dynasty. From the first year to the present, it is 320 years."
Qingyan calculated in her heart that the Tang Dynasty started in 618, adding 329 years, that is 947 years, oh well, according to the official history, it should be the end of Jin Dynasty this year, but there are two dynasties behind, right now Yin Keqin said that the Song Dynasty was established two years ago...
Before, she felt that this time and space was different from the historical trend of the official history. Although most of the place names and some famous people were there, there were still differences in many places.
Sure enough, the dynasties have changed. The Khitan people were dared to go out in advance, and the Song Dynasty was also established in advance. I don’t know how many differences there are?
But now is not the time to worry about these things. She is not out of trouble here yet, so she should take care of herself first.
Regardless of the time, whether it can be matched with the time when she and Chou Chou came here, anyway, there is no way to compare it now, and there is no place to ask.
Another problem is that, according to the old lady, her husband and daughter died 13 years ago, and the next year is the time for offering sacrifices, so now it should happen to be the time for offering sacrifices every three years.
But when she and Chou Chou were at Mi's Restaurant in the county town, she heard those people say that the time of sacrifice had been advanced by more than a year, so the timing was very chaotic, and she had no way of determining what was going on.
But one thing is certain, this old ancestor is not a good thing.
I don't know if it's a hundred-year-old ghost or some kind of ghost, and according to them, that so-called ancestor should be supernatural. Even if she doesn't go out, if the other party is really that powerful, what they say now, the other party should You can also hear it in your ears.
After all, people who escaped from the village can kill people. Although they all died of accidents, the accidents were too coincidental, and they all happened within a year of leaving the village.
If it wasn't for the fact that there are other behind-the-scenes masterminds in this village deliberately doing it, then there is something wrong with the so-called ancestor.
Knowing that although Qingyan is a little uneasy, she doesn't have much fear. I don't know if it's because she feels that Chou Chou will come to rescue her sooner or later, or because she feels that she can escape with her own ability. Anyway, she doesn't have that kind of fear of dying.
In fact, since she was a child, she faintly felt that her luck was particularly good, not to mention that she had never encountered any danger, and she could always turn bad luck into good fortune.
In addition, Xiangxiang said that her parents' spirits are different from ordinary people, they are very powerful, and it is very likely that some strange beast was reincarnated, so they are destined to be with Xiangxiang, and can enter and exit its space at will.
Even their sons and daughters followed suit, not only could they enter and exit its space, but their souls were also much stronger than ordinary people.
Qingyan felt that even if she couldn't deal with that so-called ancestor, it would be no problem to save her life.
This is an intuition, and there is no way to explain why there is such an intuition. Anyway, she feels that the other party will not threaten her life.
At this time, it was already pouring rain outside, and with the humming wind, the sound was scary.
It was completely dark inside the room, Yin Keqin had already lit the oil lamp, the light was very dim, it felt like it was late at night.
The doors and windows have been closed by them long ago. The strange thing is that the wind was so strong before that no sand was blown into the house, and the rain was the same. There was no sound of slapping on the doors, windows or walls, as if it was designed to scare people. It's like making people afraid to go out.
It gives people the feeling that as long as you enter the house, you are safe, and even if it is windy or rainy outside, it will not affect the inside of the house, except of course, except for the light.
In fact, there is another strange thing here, that is, there was a strong wind before, and now it is raining heavily, but there is no lightning or thunder from the beginning to the end.
Although she couldn't explain anything through this, Qingyan felt that she had a little confidence in her heart, because she remembered that her father said that all ghosts and monsters are afraid of thunder and lightning.
So she thinks it may be because of this, even if they are just creating environments and formations, they will try to avoid the existence of these things that are incompatible with them.
So it is even more certain that this so-called ancestor should be an evil thing.
However, it's a pity that even if she knows what evil the other party is, she has no way to subdue him. After all, she has never learned any methods of suppressing evil and exorcising ghosts, and now she only has the strength of her body to use.
Hey... If only her satchel was still there, besides the little leopard in it, there are two spirit stones, one big and one small, in the interlayer, which are good things for exorcising evil spirits...
etc!What if?
Qingyan turned to the mother and son who were sitting across the table, and asked tentatively: "Mother, Brother Yin, when you saw me, did you see a coarse messenger bag on me?"
Yin Keqin shook his head blankly, while the old lady looked outside as if she didn't hear what she said.
Qingyan asked again with a little more volume, and the old lady turned her head to look at her, tilted her head and thought about it, then nodded and said: "Yes, yes, I saw that there was something hard in your satchel yesterday. It was uncomfortable to sleep on your body, so I took it off for you, as if it was hanging on the shelf beside the bed."
Qingyan was overjoyed, she said thank you, and hurried into the next bedroom, fumbled to light the oil lamp, and looked directly at the bed frame.
Sure enough, on the bed frame next to the wall, I saw a rag-like thing hanging there, which was her satchel.
Due to the poor lighting and the gray color, it almost blended with the bed and the wall, so she didn't notice it before.
She ran over to touch it, and she breathed a sigh of relief. She thought that the little leopard and Chou Chou hadn't followed, and the satchel probably wasn't there either.
Now that she saw the satchel and touched the contents, she immediately felt a sense of security.
Reaching out to take off the bag from the bed shelf, he reached out and touched it again, making sure that he touched it correctly just now, and couldn't help showing a smile on his face.
Lie on the bed with a shoulder bag, shake off the quilt to cover himself, and then take out a small cloth bag from the shoulder bag.
This is the spirit stone she put in her bag before, she didn't dare to take the big one, fearing that the light would be too bright to attract attention, so she took out the small one first.
After opening the wrapped fabric, I found that the light was much brighter than before. It felt like I saw it in the Xiangxiang space.
The Lingshi I saw at that time should be in a state of sufficient aura. Could it be that the Lingshi followed her through time and space to other time nodes, so the aura inside was also full?
Qingyan was a little surprised and a little uncertain, anyway, having aura is a good thing.
Although she doesn't know much about spells and dao, she remembers that Chou Chou said that the aura in the spirit stone is incompatible with the evil aura, just like it would be incompatible in its space.
If it wasn't for the fact that it is a strange beast, although it likes violent and dark energy, it has never done evil. It is not an evil beast. Otherwise, it would have been impossible to use the aura in the spirit stone to recover the energy to wear it back, and it might even be caught by the aura inside. hurt.
With this thing, Qingyan felt that she had a little security. If the other party was something evil, she felt that using this should be able to restrain the other party.
No matter what, I have a little bit of confidence in my heart.
Qingyan got up from the bed, put her satchel on her back and walked out.
The mother and son didn't say anything when they saw her like this, thinking that there was something valuable in the satchel, she was worried and took it directly with her.
They are not the kind of people who covet other people's things, so they haven't touched Qingyan's bag before.
If there is a chance, they also hope that Qingyan can leave the village. They have no chance, but they don't want others to be trapped in the quagmire like them.
For a while, the atmosphere among the three was very depressed, and they sat by the table silently without knowing what to say.
The old lady and Yin Keqin were thinking of their lost relatives, and they were heartbroken, while Qingyan was still using her brains, trying to come up with a solution.
And I tried my best to recall how those Taoist priests I saw on TV used to exorcise evil spirits and catch ghosts. Although it may not be useful, why not try it.
As a result, after thinking about it for a long time, I remembered a sentence: The formula of Taishang Laojun, who is as anxious as a law, feels completely useless.
Time passed little by little, and at some point, the rain outside stopped and the sky cleared up.
Although there is no sun, it is very bright, as if it is tempting people to go out and have a look.
Qingyan looked at the two of them, "Can I go out now?"
Of course, she will definitely not go out. After all, the old lady said that the sacrifice lasts for three days. The first day is to choose the sacrifice, and the second day is the head of the clan, that is, the head of the village. Cleaning is carried out there, and the sacrifices are made on the third day.
As for where the altar is and how to sacrifice, the other villagers don't know. Although they are descendants of the Yin clan, they are not direct branches.
The direct branch is from the lineage of the patriarch, so they are not even qualified to sacrifice.
Don't look at the lack of qualifications to sacrifice, but the sacrifices are all chosen from among them. There has never been a sacrifice from the line of the patriarch, regardless of whether it is male or female.
Presumably this is the privilege given to them by the so-called ancestor.
The old lady nodded, "On the first day of every sacrificial day, the formation is activated, and there is nothing from the outside, but the village is either pouring rain or thick black fog, or it can roll people into the sky windy.
At first everyone thought it was because of the bad weather, God is not beautiful, and there is no good weather every time there is a sacrifice.
