Chapter 194 Miracles Appear
"Dong dong dong"
Not long after Fu Shaoping lay down, he heard the sound of nine drums in the air and a carp rolling. He immediately got up and pushed the door open and walked out.
Mouthing in his mouth:
"This Hanshan Village really can't stop for a moment."
The little girl also walked out of the house holding her little brother.
Wait for the drum to fall.
There was a solemn look on the little girl's face, she met Fu Shaoping's puzzled eyes and explained:
"Brother, the sound of nine drums sounds. This means that the village will select a new priest overnight. All the people in the village must go to the ancient temple to gather."
Sacrifice all night long.
Fu Shaoping frowned.
It seems that someone has been spying on the position of high priest for a long time.
He had no intention of following him and said directly:
"Taotao, remember, no matter who asks, never mention me and your sister Nangong."
"Yeah, I understand."
The little girl Taotao nodded.
If it weren't for the appearance of Fu Shaoping.
I'm afraid that their entire Hanshan Village will become the target of Baicao Weigui.
This great kindness was something she would never forget.
Nangong Ning watched the little girl Taotao leave, her eyes flashing, and she was a little ready to make a move: "Fellow Daoist Fu, why don't we also participate in this priest selection? If we are selected, wouldn't we have the power of totem?" ”
Fu Shaoping shook his head.
It's not that easy.
No matter what.
It is impossible for Hanshan Village’s unicorn dragon totem to choose these two outsiders:
"I'll take a rest and leave at dawn."
Fu Shaoping turned around and went into the house and lay down.
The residents of Hanshan Village who heard the sound of drums had already gathered in twos and threes in the square of the ancient temple. Pig heads, cattle and sheep had been placed on the sacrificial platform. Xu Lizheng stood majestically at the top in a long robe and said loudly:
"The high priest's soul tablet has been shattered. For the safety of our entire village, I announce that we will hold a sacrifice now and re-select a new priest."
As soon as this statement came out.
Everyone roared and started talking in various directions.
but.
There was definitely more excitement than sadness.
After all, the high priest has been inactive in recent years, and everyone dares to be angry but dare not speak out. They have long hoped for a new priest to take office.
Xu Lizheng raised his hand and pressed it in the air.
Everyone immediately fell silent.
Xu Lizheng did not write any ink. He raised his hand and said directly:
"Play music and dance!"
The musicians are already in place.
Under Xu Lizheng's order.
Silk and bamboo wind music sounded.
The temple girls also began to dance sacrificial dances.
Everyone looked nervously at the fire pillars engraved with dragon patterns on both sides of the square. If they wanted to select a new priest, they had to make the totem statues of the ancient temple manifest.
And this is the sign.
The six fire pillars on both sides will be lit one by one.
Halfway through the ritual dance.
However, none of the six fire pillars were ignited, and everyone could not help but feel nervous.
because.
There have also been cases in other villages where a new priest failed to be selected after the previous priest passed away. Speaking of which, their ancient temple has not performed any miracles for several years.
Xu Lizheng was itching his teeth with hatred.
This is all due to the lack of communication between the previous priest and the totem statue in the past few years.
In the blink of an eye.
The ritual dance has come to an end.
But not a single pillar of fire was ignited.
"this"
Xu Lizheng's face turned pale.
The current situation shows that no one present can be recognized by the unicorn dragon totem. Without the protection of the priests, how can they in the underworld have the ability to deal with the strange things that appear and disappear at night.
At this time, Xu Lizheng could no longer care about the disappointment of losing the election.
Turn around immediately.
Bang.
He kowtowed to the ground firmly.
Sing loudly:
"Please have mercy on Dragon Lord!"
The entire Hanshan village residents also realized the seriousness of the matter.
One by one they fell to the ground.
Follow Xu Lizheng and sing loudly:
"I beg Dragon Lord to show mercy!!"
Once no new priests are selected, this means that they must merge with other villages, but their status will also become second-class residents, always lower than the attached village.
This is not acceptable to them.
Everyone kowtowed.
The sound of singing resounded through the sky.
But after the sacrificial dance ended, the Dragon Lord in the ancient temple still showed no sign of manifestation.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
"Did Dragon Lord abandon us?"
The residents were so sad that they began to cry one by one.
Xu Lizheng also collapsed on the ground helplessly.
Suddenly.
A glimmer of hope emerged on his pale face. He stood up and gave a few instructions to his subordinates. Then more than a dozen people began to check the heads of those present.
Xu Lizheng also died in person.
He now hopes that there are still people in Hanshan Village who have not arrived at the scene. The selection of new priests must be within a hundred meters of the ancient temple. Maybe the ones who have not arrived are the new priests!
certainly.
This was his only thought.
soon.
More than a dozen subordinates came to report one by one. It was such a grand event that even the old man who was paralyzed in bed was carried over on the bed board, and no one was absent.
Xu Lizheng's face turned a little pale again.
When he finally found the little girl Taotao, he glanced around her and his eyes lit up: "Taotao, how come it's just you two siblings and your second uncle's family?"
Xu Lizheng seemed to see hope.
Although he usually looks down on Uncle Taotao.
But now is his life-saving straw.
Taotao said with red eyes:
"Reporting to Li Zheng, my second uncle's family was eaten by the strange Baicao!"
"When did it happen?"
"My second uncle was possessed by Baicao Monster and ate my second aunt and the others. Baicao Monster accumulated strength and originally planned to attack the ancient temple tonight, but was stopped by the old priest. In the end, the old priest died in the battle. like."
Taotao realized that she had let something slip.
Cover your mouth immediately.
Xu Lizheng opened her arm, and the red warning mole on her hand had disappeared, indicating that tonight's warning was from Taotao.
He thought that the old priest died together with the strange Baicao.
But now it seems.
But there is something else hidden.
He didn't believe that in the middle of the night, a little girl named Taotao happened to discover Baicao's strange whereabouts, so he had a straight face and solemnly said:
"Peach"
"Whether a new priest can be selected is related to the fate of tens of thousands of people in our entire Hanshan Village. Tell us honestly what you know, otherwise"
Xu Lizheng narrowed his eyes slightly.
Although Taotao is afraid.
But he still remembers the promise he made with Fu Shaoping:
"Ri Zheng, that's all I know. I've told you everything."
Xu Lizheng snorted in his heart.
He can still do it against a little girl.
With quick eyes and quick hands, he immediately grabbed Lele, who was protected by Taotao, into his arms. He glared: "Lele, tell uncle, is your sister hiding something?"
"Let go of my brother, Lele, you"
Taotao wanted to silence her brother.
However, the adult quickly covered his mouth.
Lele was so frightened that she peed under Xu Lizheng's cannibalistic gaze. She was less than five years old. She had never seen such a scene before, so she told the whole story:
"My sister brought back a big brother and a big sister. They fed Lele white flour steamed buns. Lele didn't recognize them either. Wuwuwu, please let go of my sister. Wuwuwu."
outsider? !
Xu Lizheng was stunned for a moment.
Generally speaking.
Very few outsiders would stay overnight in other villages, unless they were traveling businessmen.
But the two outsiders and their sacrifices had no impact.
unless.
They introduced the strange Baicao.
Xu Lizheng's eyes sharpened. The caught Taotao opened his mouth and bit the man who covered himself. After getting the chance to speak, he quickly told how he met Fu Shaoping, and that it was Fu Shaoping who was the first to discover Baicao Wei and finally eliminate Baicao Wei. He quickly Said it again:
"Li Zheng, Brother Fu is a good person, and so is Sister Nangong. They said they would leave at dawn and would not stay in our village for long. I can swear on the lives of my brother and myself that what I just said is true. , if any of it is a lie, then you will die badly!"
As soon as this statement came out.
Everyone in the house was shocked.
They never expected it.
It turned out that an outsider saved the lives of their entire village.
Anyway.
For the savior.
They should treat him well, and naturally they should not vent their anger on the other party for not selecting a new priest.
However.
Xu Lizheng was in a flash of lightning when he thought of a possibility. His eyes lit up, he patted his head and said: "So that's it, that's it!!"
He rolled his eyes.
He put down the little boy Lele in his arms and said:
"Lele, if you want us to let go of your sister, you can go back and call your brother Fu over."
Said.
Xu Lizheng turned directly to the musicians and temple girls and said:
"Play music and dance the sacrificial dance again!"
Everyone didn't know why.
I thought Xu Lizheng was unwilling to give in and wanted to try again.
The little boy Lele cried and trotted all the way, falling several times along the way. He didn't know the twists and turns of the adults, but he just wanted to save his sister.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, big brother, big sister wuuuuu"
Lele returned home crying.
Nangong Ning, who was guarding Fu Shaoping's door, quickly came up to meet her. Seeing that Lele was not followed by Taotao, her heart skipped a beat: "Lele, what's wrong, where is your sister?"
Lele cried until her nose bubbled.
For a while.
Then he continued intermittently:
"My sister was caught by Li Zheng. He asked Brother Fu to go and then let go of my sister Nangong. Please save my sister, woo woo woo."
Lele cried intermittently.
Fu Shaoping already understood it in the room.
Opened the door and walked out.
Nangong frowned and said:
"Fellow Daoist Fu, what kind of medicine do you think is sold in the Li Zheng Gourd in Hanshan Village?"
They were just staying for one night.
and.
If not for them.
Tonight, all the people in Hanshan Village have been swallowed up by the herb monster.
Fu Shaoping's eyes fell on Lele, he bent down and put his palm down, knocking Lele down instantly. After putting the person into the house, he said to Nangong Ning:
"It's less than half an hour before dawn. You first find a place to hide near the city gate. I'll go to the ancient temple to have a look. If anything unexpected happens, you don't have to wait for me. You can leave here as soon as dawn comes."
"Fellow Daoist Fu, me"
Nangong Ning thought about following him.
But when I think about it, I'm afraid I'm just a burden.
Without her.
Fu Shaoping can move more freely under the cover of the invisibility cloak.
So in the end I could only nod feebly.
but.
But he made a secret promise in his heart.
As long as she can leave Ming Huangtian alive, she will definitely repay Fu Shaoping ten times a hundred times for her kindness in the past few days. If Fu Shaoping is in trouble, then she will repay it to his children and relatives, the Fu family!
Nangong Ning said:
"Fellow Daoist Fu, take care!"
He said.
He stood up quickly and ran towards the city gate.
Fu Shaoping put on the invisibility cloak and walked towards the ancient temple.
The sound of sacrificial wind instruments came to his ears.
Fu Shaoping's eyes flashed with doubt.
It seems.
The sacrificial ceremony has not been completed.
It means that the new priest has not been selected yet. Then why did Xu Lizheng suddenly catch Taotao in the middle of the process and lure him to go?
Could it be that something happened during the sacrifice?
Xu Lizheng wanted to catch someone to replace the lamb.
But.
The new priest was not selected.
Fu Shaoping was calmer. The people of Hanshan Village who could not use the power of totem could not do anything to him, especially when he had the invisibility cloak.
The ancient temple was right in front of him.
The ancient temple square was obviously full of people kneeling.
At the top position.
Xu Lizheng held Taotao and stared at the front closely.
Fu Shaoping scanned the situation and confirmed that no new priest had been born. Then he walked lightly to the main altar of the square. With his skills, he could take Taotao from Xu Lizheng's arms without anyone noticing, and then covered himself with the invisibility cloak and left the place quickly.
Passing through the crowd.
When he reached the fire pillars on both sides.
At this time.
The fire pillars that had been silent all the time suddenly burst into flames.
"This is..."
The residents of Hanshan Village, who had already fallen into despair, saw this scene.
They were so excited that they almost cried out.
But they also knew that they could not disrupt the sacrificial ceremony. They were excited in their hearts, but they just covered their mouths and knelt down more sincerely:
The Dragon Lord did not abandon them!
Xu Lizheng, who was standing on the altar, was stunned when he saw the fire pillars light up. Then he looked back and forth in the direction of the ancient temple, but there was no one in front of the ancient temple:
"Did I guess wrong?"
Maybe.
They were not pious enough just now.
The Dragon Lord has not appeared? !
The real priest will still be born among the people of their Hanshan Village.
Thinking of this.
Xu Lizheng immediately knelt down.
However.
He still held Taotao tightly in his arms.
At this moment.
But in the main hall of the ancient temple.
There was a buzzing sound.
A light sound was heard.
Then thousands of yellow lights lit up in the sky above the ancient temple.
In the yellow light.
A unicorn phantom appeared.
The phantom of the unicorn dragon circled fiercely in the air and flew towards the altar with a roar.
"The Dragon Lord has appeared!"
"The Dragon Lord has appeared!!"
Everyone was overjoyed.
One by one, they bowed excitedly.
Xu Lizheng, who was on the altar, stiffened.
Because.
The phantom of the Dragon Lord was coming towards him.
Xu Lizheng was excited!
Sure enough.
He was the chosen son!
For a moment.
Xu Lizheng cried with joy.
At this moment, he didn't care about Taotao.
After all, the situation was already decided.
He let Taotao go.
At this moment.
Fu Shaoping also happened to come to the altar.
He originally wanted to reach out and hold Taotao in his arms, but looking at the shadow of the unicorn flying in the air, he turned around and avoided it for safety.
After all, he was an outsider.
He didn't know whether the other party would have any ill will towards him.
So he turned around and jumped off the main altar.
Xu Lizheng, who was about to accept the baptism of the Dragon Lord on the stage, had already opened his hands, but when the Dragon Lord came to him, he turned around and flew down the stage, changing direction.
What on earth is going on?
