Myth resurrection, I became the villain boss

Chapter 273 Hundred Stories ([-]) Sacrifice
Feng Mian finished the story.

The woman in the red skirt exaggeratedly covered her mouth and let out a small exclamation: "There is no red cloth on that door, so what is Yang Tian seeing on the cat's eyes all the time? Could it be."

The proprietress glanced at her with a smile: "Are there any other red things in the house? Of course they are Song Zhi's eyes."

"When Yang Tian was lying on the cat's eye and looking in, Song Zhi was also lying on the cat's eye in the room and looking out."

"And the senior who ate and drank with Yang Tian and even moved house was always Song Zhi who died more than 20 years ago."

The two of them were chatting and laughing, and they didn't seem to be frightened by this frightening ghost story, but the couple sitting on the side were frightened.

Especially the boy, his face was full of fear, but he didn't seem to be afraid because of these ghost stories. His eyes were very empty, as if he had a ghost in his heart.

The proprietress gave the boy a meaningful look, then turned her gaze to Shuten-douji who was sitting by the side: "It's your turn, my lord."

Shuten-douji raised his eyelids: "I happened to think of a very appropriate story just now. The story happened in the Heian era. This story is related to Hyakumonogatari."

His voice was deep and mellow: During the Heian period, all demons were rampant.

At that time, there was no science and technology, and there was no superb medical skills. Many people would regard the illness as evil spirits entering the body or punishment from heaven after illness.

So at that time, wizards, or witch doctors, had a high status and were often the leaders of a village.

At that time, many human beings were ignorant, thinking that disasters such as drought and floods were punishments from heaven, but they did not know that most of them were natural disasters.

Humans will pray to God to stop the punishment of the village through sacrifices, and pray for the next good weather, and this behavior was learned by many evil spirits at that time, which made them greedy.

They saw that humans used pigs and sheep as offerings, and even living people were among them.

So some of them, when they can control water and fire, frequently go to the villages to bring disasters, and trick the humans to provide them with tribute.

During that period of time, there were constant disasters all over the place, and most of them were for defrauding enough food from humans.

Slowly, human beings did not have enough tributes, so the big demon began to plunder the weaker ones, and forbade them to compete with him for tributes.

Therefore, the big demons of all parties divided their territories. In their own territory, no evil spirits from other areas are allowed to exist, and weak evil spirits in their own areas are not allowed to surpass themselves to cheat human offerings.

After such division of domains, the life of human beings has become better, and people began to regularly sacrifice to the big monster guarding a village.

At the same time, it also saves a lot of trouble, as long as the tribute is handed in on time, it will be safe for a while.

And when evil spirits are rampant, people communicate and contact more with evil spirits, and some people even master the secret technique of summoning them.

This technique is regarded as a kind of spiritual seance ceremony.

People will use discs or other objects to read spells at night to summon nearby demons, praying for them to fulfill their wishes or answer their own questions, similar to today's pen fairy and dish fairy ceremonies.

At that time, there was a small village, which was in the mountains and was protected by a big monster in the mountains.

The humans in the village regard the big demon as a mountain god, and offer livestock to the big monster every month.

Then one day the village suffered from a drought, and the villagers held sacrificial ceremonies as usual, but the drought did not stop, but became worse day by day.

The villagers thought that their tribute was not enough, so the mountain god was dissatisfied, but this was the only livestock in the village.

They didn't know that this was just a natural disaster, and the big demon was only injured when he was fighting for territory with other big monsters in other areas, so he fell into a deep sleep.

The villagers knew nothing, so they decided that as long as they sacrificed more tributes, they could satisfy the mountain god and the drought in the village would be relieved.

So they began to remember the ancient sacrificial method - dedicating the young girl to the mountain god.

This is an ancient and evil sacrificial method that has not been used for a long time. The villagers couldn't make up their minds for a while, so they came up with a way, which is to let the wizard communicate with the mountain god.

Let the mountain god come down on the wizard through the spiritual seance ceremony, so as to ask the mountain god's opinion.

So at night, the villagers lit a bonfire, and the wizard hummed unintelligible characters and waved his cane. However, after the ceremony, the wizard stopped in place without any movement.

The villagers thought that the mountain god had descended on the wizard, and they dared not show their anger.

After a long time, the wizard raised his head: "Master Mountain God didn't respond to us."

Everyone showed anxious expressions.

"Master Mountain God must be dissatisfied with our tribute!"

"But we really don't have any more livestock now! What can we do?"

"If the Lord Mountain God gets angry, wouldn't we all be doomed!"

The villagers were chattering, their faces were all terrified, and the reddest, the wizard finally interrupted the discussion.

"In this case, let's use the ancient way of sacrifice." The wizard said with a heavy face, "If you have a daughter in the family, please report the name of the daughter, and then let the mountain god choose a satisfactory candidate."

His words froze the expressions of the villagers for an instant.

The wizard stood by the bonfire and poked the ground vigorously with his cane: "It is her honor to be dedicated to the mountain god! She will become the wife and concubine of the mountain god!"

"Do you want to watch everyone in the village starve to death!?"

After he finished speaking, there was no sound, and the villagers were speechless, so they had to go home and report their daughters' names one by one.

But in their hearts, they all hoped that the chosen person would not be a child of their own family.

Some villagers couldn't help saying: "Well, according to me, it is the best to sacrifice the daughter of the family on the top of the mountain. She has been weird since she was a child."

"Yes, yes, she is the most suitable candidate."

There is a couple living on the top of the mountain, they have two daughters.

After the sorcerer spoke, the couple were suddenly troubled. They only had two daughters in their family, and they were even more anxious about choosing a girl this time.

And their neighbor's family only had one son, so they avoided the sacrifice at once, which made them feel that their family's luck was very bad.

The relationship between the two families has always been good, and the couple next door came to comfort them: "There are so many girls, it may not be possible to choose your daughter, don't worry."

"Yeah, Die and Xianzi may not be selected."

The two girls outside the house heard the conversation of the adults in the house. The older girl looked at her sister: "Don't worry, we have a good look. If our family is really selected, then let me go."
