Qin Shizhi's Confucian junior master

Chapter 436, Mysterious Ball

Ziyou and Yan Fei looked at the descendants of the God Clan in the village and decided to hide first and then see what these people were going to do.

After the two left the village, they found a secret corner. After buying two Chu people's clothes, they put on human skin masks and pretended to be Chu people who were fleeing and walked towards the village.

After the two entered the village, the descendants of the God Clan in the village focused their attention on the two of them.

"You two, I am the village chief here. I wonder why you two came to our village?" An old man stepped forward to stop Ziyou and Yan Fei and asked.

"The two of us fled from Juyang in the north." Ziyou said in Chu language.

"Come from Ju Yang?" The village chief narrowed his eyes and scanned the two people. Because the Qin State implemented the Qin Law in the sixteen cities north of Ju Yang, there were indeed many Chu people who fled south.

"What kind of Qin laws did those damn Qin Rong enforce in the north, which ruined our family? We have no way to survive in Juyang. I can only take my guest south to join Shouchun's cousin." Ziyou's eyes flashed. A lot of hate.

The village chief looked at Ziyou's gorgeous clothes. Although they were a little dusty, they could not hide their value. They indeed looked like people who had fled from Juyang. The implementation of the Qin Law caused many wealthy businessmen or dignitaries to flee from the north. Although most of these people brought their property and passed by their villages in carriages, there were also many people who were like Ziyou.

From Ziyou's words and deeds, the old village chief judged that Ziyou should be a small businessman who fled from Juyang.

The village chief believed most of it when he heard Ziyou keep talking about how they were doing in Juyang and how difficult it was on the road.

"Don't worry, old village chief. We are just passing through. It's not far from Xiacai. We will set off after a short rest. It will not delay the livelihood of the people in the village." Ziyou said.

"Our village is not far from Xiacai. If you went there now, the city gate would have been closed long ago." The old village chief said.

"Ah, I wonder if the village can help us find a place to stay in the village? Let us spend the night. Don't worry, we won't live in vain." As he said this, Ziyou took out a few coins from his arms. into the hands of the old village chief.

"We are all Chu people. You were bullied by the Qin people and forced you to leave your hometown. As Chu people, you will not stand idly by. There is a yard in my house that is still empty. If you don't mind, you can stay one night." The old village chief laughed. Then he put the knife and coins into his cuffs and said.

"Thank you so much, old village chief." Ziyou took off Concubine Yan's clothes and said, "My guest, I can't thank the village chief enough."

"Thank you very much, village chief!" Ziyou said.

"Please come with me."

The old village chief brought Ziyou and others to his home, while the other people in the village looked at the backs of Ziyou and Yan Fei with obscure gleams in their eyes, and then continued to do their own things.

After the old village chief made arrangements for Ziyou and Yan Fei, he said to them

"It's a little simpler here, but it's okay to spend the night. I'll help you prepare some food." The old village chief said with a smile.

"Trouble." Ziyou gave the old village chief some more money.

After seeing the money, the smile on the old village chief's face became even stronger. But just after the old village chief left the house, he looked at the money in his hand with disdain in his eyes.

"It seems we have been exposed." Concubine Yan said to Ziyou in a low voice.

Although the old village chief acted like an ordinary person along the way, there was something strange in every move he made. Especially when he saw Ziyou's acting and dialogues that were full of loopholes, he didn't even behave abnormally, but cooperated. Travel with your child.

"But he may not have seen through our true identities, he just thinks that we are not ordinary people." Ziyou said, if the other party really saw through their identities, they would run away immediately.

Now the Chu country is in constant chaos, and all kinds of monsters and ghosts may appear, so the "old village chief" also knows that they are not ordinary people, but the purpose of staying instead of exposing them is probably very simple. He wants to get something from them. What.

Soon the old village chief brought some food to Ziyou's room. When the old village chief left, he stopped and said sadly.

"You two, tonight is the sacrifice in our village. If you have nothing to do, don't leave the room."

Hearing what the old village chief said, Ziyou showed a hint of surprise and excitement but then hid it. The old village chief naturally caught Ziyou's flash of surprise and emotion. His expression remained unchanged, but a hint of disdain flashed deep in his eyes.

"Sacrifice at night?" Ziyou asked in surprise.

"Our customs here are different from other places. The gods we worship will only appear at night, so you don't need to be surprised. You just need to remember that there will be some movement in our village after dark, don't you You need to pay attention, and don't go out to see out of curiosity. If you disturb the gods living in the temple, you will be cursed." The old village chief looked like he didn't want to say more, then closed the door and left.

After leaving the room, the old village chief looked at Ziyou's room with a hint of disdain in his eyes.

"It seems that they regard us as ordinary knights and thieves." Concubine Yan said with a chuckle.

The most important thing in the Chu State is sacrifice, and sacrifices are generally very lively events. Every household will even pay tribute, and some sacrifices may even be valuable items. Whether it is the liveliness of the former or the valuable money of the latter, they are very attractive to "jivaliers or thieves" like Ziyou and Yanfei.

What's more, the old village chief's words are still so secretive, which makes people more curious.

"In this case, I will be disrespectful." Ziyou said with a smile. Concubine Yan's eyes also flashed with amusement, please enter the urn, I am afraid that what you invite will not be a gentleman, but lead a wolf into the house.

After Ziyou and Yan Fei finished eating, and the old village chief put away the dishes, the two gradually waited for the sky to darken. As the sun set, the sound of gongs and drums gradually appeared in the quiet village. .

Ziyou and Concubine Yan, who were lying on the bed, turned over. Ziyou came to the window and saw through the gap in the window two groups of "villagers" wearing wizard masks standing outside and heading towards the temple in the center of the village.

"The other party has already made arrangements. Wouldn't it be too ungrateful for us not to go?" Ziyou smiled slightly and extended his hand to Concubine Yan.

"Then let me go with you." Concubine Yan also smiled and put her hand in Ziyou's palm.

Zi You pulled Concubine Yan's hand hard, and Concubine Yan was pulled into Zi You's arms. In a hurry, Concubine Yan screamed in low voice and gave Zi You an annoyed look. Ziyou used Qinggong and disappeared into the room in the blink of an eye, as if disappearing out of thin air.

At this time, the villagers have arrived at the temple, and a group of wizards are dancing a sacrificial dance in the middle. The old village chief looked at the statue in the temple with a mask on.

There is a headless statue enshrined in the temple. The statue is tall and mighty. Under his feet is a ferocious tiger, with his hands in an embrace. The most eye-catching thing is that there is an obvious round shape on the chest of the statue. A spherical object. The accumulation of dust makes it difficult to tell what the spherical object is.

"Elder Antarctic, we have been here for several years. Can the people help us wake up that thing this time?" A young man next to the old village chief whispered.

The young man is also a member of the descendants of the God Clan. The old village chief, known as Nanji, is one of the six elders of their descendants of the God Clan. They were led to this village by the elders of Anji a few years ago and brought the people in this village together. After killing him, he occupied this place and kept his name anonymous. It was the spherical object on the chest of the statue in the temple.

"This is the eighth person this month. It has been nine years since we have been anonymous. We have been waiting for nine years and used countless people, not least this time." The Antarctic elder looked at the spherical ball on the chest of the statue. The object whispered.

The item on the chest of the statue is the most critical item for them to break through the Heaven and Earth after they enter Yunmengze. Without this thing, they will not be able to break through the Heaven and Earth after entering. But this spherical object can only be awakened by special people. It is useless in its current state.

According to the divine revelation they received, it was said that this thing would be taken away by someone who could wake it up in the future, which is why he waited incognito here.

"But I saw that the person this time had a cunning face, like a bad businessman, but he didn't feel that cunning. You reminded him specifically that he shouldn't be greedy for money like the six people before. ?” the young man muttered.

"If the clan hadn't determined that you were Sirius, I would have doubted whether you were Sirius." The Antarctic elder looked at Sirius with a headache.

He really couldn't imagine that a person who inherited the power of the Lord's Heavenly Wolf could be so innocent, even a little stupid.

Sirius also knew that the Antarctic elder was scolding him, so he could only lower his head. The goddess of heaven was a power that only women could inherit. The goddess of their generation had been killed by Gai Nie and the others in Wei. Gai Nie and the law enforcement team went on a killing spree across the five kingdoms of Han, Zhao, Wei, Qin and Yan, killing and arresting more than half of the descendants of their God Clan. Otherwise, their clan would not have urgently asked them to find them as soon as possible. Awakening people.

"You are still young and have not gone out to experience the wind and rain, so you do not understand human nature." The Antarctic elder could only use these words to comfort Sirius and himself at the same time.

Who knows that there are no useful talents among the descendants of the Gods now. Originally, the focus of the descendants of the God Clan was all in the north, especially the two places of Han and Wei, which were located at the center of the world. They could make arrangements for anything as soon as possible. However, Ziyou killed Tanlang and Kuixing in succession, breaking the pattern of Peixian and others trying to use the red dragon to swallow the phoenix, completely disrupting their centuries-old layout, and cutting off their biggest escape route.

In the Kingdom of Zhao, Ziyou killed Po Jun and thirteen of the strongest descendants of the God Clan, and Hetu Luoshu and the weapon of martial luck were also taken away. In addition, Gai Nie and the law enforcement team, with the cooperation of Luo Wang and Hei Bingtai, were killing people in the north. Now, except for their six old bones, there are only a few useful people among the descendants of the Gods. He is the one who is on his own, and among the six elders, none of them can fight. Because he has lived a long time and knows the entire internal layout of the descendants of the Gods, he was promoted to the elder to command the descendants of the Gods.

Tanlang, Pojun and Qisha were killed one after another, and those who could fight died in the resistance against Gai Nie and the law enforcement team. The only person in the clan who was mainly responsible for killing was Tianlang. Unfortunately, Tianlang He had just become enlightened, not yet cultivated, and being such a simple person gave him a headache. Especially at this time, the old rivals of the eight ancient surnames also began to enter the world, especially the old people of the Feng family. Last time, they almost discovered that they were cheating. This caused extreme tension among the descendants of the God clan, so he He will frequently test people passing by.

When he thought of these, Elder Anji felt a sense of depression in his heart, which was so congested that he couldn't breathe.

"But I have become an adult this year." Sirius continued to say like a fool.

"Shut up!" Elder Anji cursed in a low voice. When he thought that a Xingxiu power who was mainly responsible for killing was such a simple person, he couldn't help but want to curse.

Hearing the anger in the Antarctic elder's words, Sirius stopped talking and waited silently.

Ziyou and Concubine Yan hid in the dark and watched silently the people below who were performing sacrifices.

"It seems that these people don't have any masters. The most capable ones are the young people next to the old village chief, but they are only in the middle stage of being a master." The villagers below Yan Fei whispered, and she felt more and more that this village was a god. The descendants deliberately made it to disturb their sight, because the combined strength of the entire village was not as good as Po Jun and the others they met in Zhao State, and it was even worse than Tanlang and Kuixing they met in Peixian County.

If Elder Anji heard what Concubine Yan said, he would be so angry that he would vomit blood. As an elder sitting here, how could he be the cannon fodder pushed out to disturb the line of sight? Are you looking down on him?

"The strength is indeed low, let's see what they are up to first." Ziyou also nodded in agreement.

Ziyou and Yan Fei continued to watch, and soon the sacrifice below ended. Some villagers sent some money into the temple without any concealment, and then everyone left under the auspices of the old village chief. Only Ziyou and Yan Fei were left hiding in the dark.

Seeing everyone leaving, Ziyou and Yan Fei appeared directly and came to the door of the temple.

The candles in the temple were brightly lit, and the entire interior of the temple was illuminated. There was a lot of real gold and silver placed on the table. Ziyou and Concubine Yan looked up and down the interior of the temple, and after finding that there was nothing special, they His eyes were focused on the statue of the god.

Both of their eyes were attracted to the ball on the chest of the statue. There was a lot of dust on the statue, but there was very little dust near the ball on the chest. It looked like it had been wiped on later.

Looking at the ball, Ziyou thought that this village composed of descendants of the gods must be just for this ball.
