Becoming a God from a Water Monkey

Chapter 814 Lively
"Present the sacrifice!"

The toothless priest yelled at the top of his lungs, hot sweat dripping down his skinny neck.

Dazhui struck the drum surface, creating a thin mist of water.

Boom boom boom!
It was early July, and the plum blossom season had not yet ended. The sky was overcast and rainy. The powerful drumbeats were like thunder striking into one's heart. Tens of thousands of villagers were bathed in the drizzle, watching silently.

The chains swung and the water beast came on stage.

The sharp knife penetrated.

The hot blood in my heart spurted out, and a bloody wind blew towards me!

The young child hugged his parents' thighs in fear.

The parents were not afraid at all. Instead, they showed some excitement on their faces and their mouths were watering.

meat!
Good meat!

The idle man who ran dozens of miles early in the morning to join in the fun and wait for meat to eat saw with his own eyes the water beast losing its vitality, and his pupils were all shocked.

The martial artist's four gates, galloping horses, and wolf smoke were too far and too blurry for ordinary people, but the water beast, which was much larger than a human, was really right in front of them. It could collapse a mud house with a turn over, and it could flip over like a dragon with a swing of its tail. The light only touched the edge, blocking out all the sunlight, making it hard to breathe.

The chain that bound it was thicker than its thigh and flashed a green light. When half of the iron ring hit the ground, it made a dent as big as a human head. Did it die just like that?
Yixing River God Festival.

This annual festival is known to everyone in the towns and villages within a hundred miles. After five or six years of persistence, it has quickly become a grand festival famous far and wide.

After the Ghost Mother's teachings, the people from various places gathered together, which inevitably led to conflicts.

The entire Yixing town was infected by the atmosphere of the River God Festival. Even those who were new here and unfamiliar with the customs could integrate into the community smoothly after living there for a year or two. They were happy and encouraged by it, and quickly became united as one!

in the crowd.

The stranger who came back for the first time still felt like he was dreaming even after sniffing the blood.

"Officiant, OK!"

The handsome young man, his ochre robe fluttering in the wind, climbed up the stairs.

Wow!

Long sleeve vibes.

The clear wine in the cup spilled into the river, mixing with rain and blood, creating ripples.

[Sacrifice to Huaijiang River, river favor +1.5221]

[River Favor: 13.2064]

The horse head wall is uneven.

On the eaves of Liang's house, the ridge beasts are bathing in the rain and standing tall to look up at the sky.

The black hair dances, the lotus skirt flutters,
Long Eying stood on the main ridge, quietly looking at the figure on the high platform.

The figure fell, and she fell too.

"Huh~"

Long Yao dragged out her voice, hugged her shoulders, and shivered in the summer heat, "Sister Eying and the elders are so disgusting. Those who know that they went out for half a day to hold a grand sacrifice, and those who don't know think that the elders were exiled to the northern frontier by the court and have been working as a coolie for more than half a year."

"That's right." Long Li nodded in agreement. "Your eyes are already drawn. If the elder doesn't raise our monthly salary, I don't think I can stay here any longer!"

"An increase of ten taels!"

"It's less, at least twenty taels!"

Long Yao and Long Li sang in unison.

When Otter heard that the monthly salary had increased, he pricked up his ears and moved his paws to count.

"You have no respect for your parents!" Long Eying was annoyed. She raised her hand and condensed a thin ice spike, then walked forward slowly. "Why raise the monthly salary? I think the elders treat you two too well, and your bones are loose. You just need to follow the family rules and be beaten."

"You're lying. When did the elders establish this family rule?"

"I just erected it."

"Ah! Sister E-Ying, are you serious?"

"The same clan is killing each other. I will tell the Third Elder! Ah!"

……

"Fortunately, I caught up."

Liang Qu put down his wine cup and stepped down from the platform.

Just as expected.

In his absence, the river god festival in Yixing Town was naturally postponed from early June to early July.

It was as if this sacrifice was not prepared for the river god, but for him. If it had been done five or six years ago and the village elders knew about it, there would have been endless curses. But now, there is nothing to worry about, and no villager thinks there is anything wrong.

Although Liang Qu did not give any special instructions, the fat catfish and other animals were still prepared early for the sacrificial ceremony according to the custom of previous years.

Therefore, on the "second day" after returning from the imperial capital, Chen Zhaoan only had time to report to the Hebo Office and then completed the sacrifice to the river god.

The favor was obtained. The Jianghuai Lake was peaceful and calm.

"Has the dragon changed its nature?" Liang Qu held his chin.

If you don't fight for three days, go to the house and uncover the tiles.

It has been two years since the Three Saints started beating the dragon. The master has even attained the status of an Arhat, but the dragon still hasn't recovered?

evening.

The villagers of Yixing exchanged sacrificial meat according to the number of blue pen paints on their wrists.

One is for participating, two is for receiving the meat, if there is one, there will be two, if there are two, there will not be three.

The clerks of the Pingyang government office beat drums and gongs, and took advantage of the large number of people during the festival to remind people of the curfew on this year's Binghuo day.

"Your paint is fake!" The warrior who was dividing the flesh firmly grasped the man's wrist and rubbed it hard. The blue paint mixed with the cracked skin and rubbed it evenly, making it a paste. He sneered, "You dyed it yourself with amaranth blue, right? The one painted by the village elder can't be washed off or rubbed off!"

"This, this, this..."

"I'm here to get free food and drinks in Yixing Town!"

"Get out of the way!"

There was a lot of noise and anger at the back of the team. The man who tried to take advantage of the situation did not dare to argue and ran away in shame.

I slept in early in the morning and ended up missing...

Before it gets dark.

Another gray-haired old lady joined the team, holding in each hand a seven or eight-year-old child who loved to pick his nose.

It’s a pity that there is no paint on my wrists.

After chatting for a while, it turned out that due to the inconvenience of walking, the warrior missed the grand ceremony at noon. He asked the surrounding teams and confirmed that they were from the neighboring Nanxun Town.

She lost her husband when she was young and had two sons and a daughter. Her daughter married out and the eldest son didn't care about her. The youngest son died early, leaving behind two grandsons. The grandsons' mother remarried early and lived on an acre of thin land.

An old person without a wife is called a widower; an old person without a husband is called a widow; an old person without a child is called a single person; a young person without a father is called an orphan.

These four are the poorest people in the world who have no one to turn to.

There are also people in the family who suddenly become seriously ill or disabled.

Liang Qu and Chen Qingjiang were typical examples.

In large towns and villages with a slightly larger population, a few people always disappear silently every winter.

If it weren't for the breakthrough in Liangqu's tiger hunting, and the imperial court's exemption of Pingyang County's land tax for three years, they would have had to live their lives one step at a time.

The young man looked up: "Brother Songbao!"

Lin Songbao, who was lying on a bench drinking mung bean soup, waved his hand.

"Okay!" The young man quickly cut the meat with a knife and tied it up with straw ropes. "For those over 60, three catties of fat and two catties of lean. For those over 50, two catties of fat and one and a half catties of lean. For locals, three catties of fat and lean, and for outsiders, half that.

According to the rules, if you don't come, you can't give it to me. After all, Yixing Town is a place of prosperity. Grandma, you are slow and you are a foreigner. There are three people, one big and two small, so this time I will count it as four pounds for you. Next time, remember to come earlier and don't miss the time again."

The old lady thanked him again and again.

"Next, next!"

Yixing Town has experienced no less than seven or eight large-scale sacrificial activities and has experience in all aspects.

Under the orange-red sunset, the team was long but not chaotic, with people moving forward in an orderly manner.

Liang Qu watched and watched for a while, then went to Hebo and found Li Shoufu in the scroll room.

"Li Zhubu, I didn't ask when I came here yesterday, where are Xu Ti's people?"

When Liang Qu reported in yesterday, he found that Xu Yuelong and Wei Lin were not in the government office. He thought it was a coincidence, but he didn't expect it to be the same today.

"I don't know either." Li Shoufu shook his head. "He left at the end of June and hasn't returned yet. Something big must have happened."

Liang Qu understood.

I didn't bother about it.

I guess I missed some fun again.

"Okay, remember to tell me when you get back."

"Don't worry, my lord."

The river god sacrifice is over.

Bing Fire Sunrise.

Two wheels appeared in the sky, and a blazing line of fire spanned the sky.

at the same time.

Long Binglin jumped out of the pond: "Elder! The invitations are ready, we can go!"
