After becoming an undercover agent of Xianmen, I won by lying down

After glancing around, the people here just looked at this kind of thing with pity on their faces. They were more likely to compromise and look away. Maybe they had already been accustomed to this kind of life.

Except, the little boy who had just grown up couldn't accept it.

Shen Fu was silent for a while and asked: "Can I take the liberty to ask who this little girl wants to marry?"

"She doesn't want to marry anyone, they want to burn her as a paper figurine to pay homage to her ancestors!"

As soon as the young man finished speaking, he heard a loud slap.

"Shut up for me!"

Burned to pay homage to ancestors...

Shen Fu raised his eyebrows, saying that he was sympathetic was not much sympathy. After all, a female devil like her had no ability to empathize.

However, if they were really here, with their compassionate hearts, they would not sit idly by.

"I didn't expect this custom to be quite special. Village elder, if it happens every year, then if there are no more young unmarried girls in the village in the future, what will happen on the Ghost Festival?"

He hadn't thought about this question.

The village elder really thought about it and said, "The reason why our village was able to survive the war between humans and demons that year is all thanks to our annual memorial service on the Ghost Festival. This is all because our ancestors are blessing us!"

"If there are really no young unmarried girls in the future..." The village elder suddenly looked at Shen Fu and had an idea in his mind. He was afraid of being noticed by the other party and immediately hit him: "Then let's talk about it then. A year is quite a long time anyway.”

Shen Fu naturally saw clearly what the village elder's eyes conveyed.

The human race has gone through so much, and it turns out that they haven't learned to behave well yet. They are still as greedy and selfish as ever.

"We can't delay the auspicious time any longer, otherwise our ancestors won't bless us this year."

After the village elder finished speaking, he asked people to start playing music to see off the bride.

Chu Qu gritted his teeth and said, "He must want to keep His Highness as his bride next year. Your Highness, why don't you just destroy this village? It can be regarded as a good deed for the human race as we demons have done something good for the human race."

"Need not."

Shen Fu's eyes were dark and unclear, "I would be disappointed if he didn't put his idea on my head."

After speaking, he walked forward.

Although this Shouxi Village is not big, and there are only some old, young, women and children left behind, a memorial ceremony like this is still quite grand.

For example, the red lanterns hanging on both sides of the road are made of unusual materials.

"Your Highness, their village looks so poor, how come this lamp looks so rich?"

And the workmanship is quite unique.

Shen Fu hummed and replied casually: "Can a lantern made of human skin not be exquisite?"

Chu Qu: "?Human skin?"

Shen Fu used magic to take down a lantern, and touched the lantern with his slender fingers, "Look at this texture. What kind of oil paper can have this texture? And look at the wick inside. Once this wick is lit, it can be burned." 49 days.”

Chu Qu understood clearly, "It is recorded in ancient books that a burning object that can burn for 49 days must be something taken from a human body..." (Purely fabricated!)
"I've heard before that because the human race is rich in emotions and desires, many of its advantages and disadvantages are very obvious, especially in terms of how people get along with each other."

"What's more, there is a saying that the only thing more terrifying than ghosts is the human heart!"

Chu Qu suddenly felt that compared with them, he was really kind.

Shen Fu glanced at Chu Qu in a funny way, and suddenly wanted to tease him: "Then be careful. Don't think that because you are a demon, you won't fall into their trap. Be careful that your skin will be cut off when the time comes. Then it really means going back to the drawing board and reinventing the wheel.”

Chu Qu: "..." This time it's not a physical pain, it's a skin pain. "We'd better hurry up and check out the situation. If the person we're looking for is really mixed up in the crowd, we can't miss it!"

Chu Qu ran faster than usual.

"Ah! My great ancestor!"

The village elder knelt down, opened his hands upward, then clasped his hands very reverently and placed them on his forehead, bending down and lowering his head.

"Today, on such a great and sacred day as the Ghost Festival, we dedicate the most holy woman in the village to you. We hope you will bless Shouxi Village with good weather every year!"

The village elder kowtowed heavily several times. When he looked up again, he saw that the center of his eyebrows was red and bleeding.

But the village elder didn't seem to feel it, because all he could see now was the countless tablets in front of him.

There was obviously no wind coming in, but the candle on the altar table kept flickering.

The ignorant villagers thought that this was the appearance of their ancestors.

"I hope our ancestors will protect our Shouxi Village from generation to generation!"

"I hope our ancestors will keep Shouxi Village safe forever!"

……

Everyone shouted at the top of their lungs, fearing that the memorial tablets wouldn't hear.

After a series of preparatory work was completed, several stronger hunters in the village carried out the cross behind the ancestral hall.

You can tell that this wooden cross is many years old, with red, black, and the color of the tree itself.

The red should be blood stains, and the black should be burnt marks.

"Tie up our bride."

The little girl was wearing a very ill-fitting wedding robe, just like a child wearing an adult's clothes, which looked very funny.The two faces were painted very white, a little cinnabar was dotted in the middle of the eyebrows, and the lips seemed to be bleeding.

His eyes were dull, not at all like they were when they were chasing and fighting on the road during the day.

Shen Fu was watching the show with his arms folded in the crowd, showing no intention of taking action.

"Pile up all the firewood."

The village elder knelt down and worshiped the tablet several times in succession, and kowtowed several times.

After all preparations were completed, the village elder began his brainwashing of the young bride.

"My child, don't be sad. Being able to worship your ancestors is a great blessing that you gained from your previous life. You are the saint of our Shouxi Village! You are our benefactor!"

The young bride had no expression from beginning to end. It was not until she heard the words saint and benefactor that she showed a mocking expression that was inappropriate for her age.

"In that case, why not hand over the granddaughter you have secretly hidden? Why not let your granddaughter be the saint and the benefactor?"

The little girl used to think that she was the only girl of her age in the village.

It wasn't until the past two years that she discovered that the village boss would always go into the mountains.

She was quite curious at the time. Although she was young, she had heard from uncles and aunts around her that the mountains were very dangerous.

The village elder was not an Orion and had only studied for a few years. Weak scholars were not allowed to enter the mountains.

If you break in, you will only die.
