The carp king of this Rockets soldier is super cruel

Chapter 388 Wooden Box
Compared with the reception banquet where the two holy beasts were silent and only Menus was eating wildly, the ancestral temple of Yu'er Village on the other side was brightly lit and crowded with people.

"Fellow folks, our Yu'er Village's annual Sea God Ceremony is coming to an end, and we're going to enter the ancestral temple to worship the Sea God's scales."

The village head held a loudspeaker, stood on a small table and spoke in a strong local accent, "For everyone's safety, please line up one pot after another, don't shake, push, don't squeeze, care Others, love to send some!"

When the scattered crowd began to adjust their team by rubbing their shoulders under the call of the village chief, Linghu nudged Su Yang lightly with his elbow, covered his mouth and asked in a low voice: "Do you think about it later?" Do you want to make a wish?"

"Think about it."

Su Yang nodded seriously, "I want the seven dragon balls that can summon the dragon."

"Is that the dragon that can grant any wish?" Linghu asked suspiciously.

"That's right, after summoning it, I made a wish for a magical lamp that 'can summon the lamp god to fulfill my three wishes'."

Su Yang snapped his fingers and said, "After the lamp god comes out, the first wish I make is to let him help me collect the seven dragon balls that can summon the dragon clan."

What about the bug on this card? ? ?
Although the Sea God Ceremony is a festival limited to this unknown small fishing village, it is not ambiguous at all in terms of ritual.

Before entering the temple, you need to wash your hands in a special water basin, and then give each person a cup of coconut wine that is not full.

In this way, in order to prevent the wine in the cup from spilling, you must walk slowly when entering the temple, and a full sense of solemnity is produced in this way.

As for why there was such a ceremony, Su Yang felt that it had nothing to do with the Sea God, but to prevent those children from messing around.

They were chattering and chattering before, but after getting the wine glass, they all became concentrated and secretly competed with each other who could walk fast and steadily.

"Everyone first turn around and face the East China Sea, then close your eyes and let your mind go empty, don't have any messy thoughts, and turn back after the prayer is finished."

The village head who presided over the worship ceremony reminded, "Remember to be free. If you really can't be free, just silently recite the wish you want to make, otherwise the wish will not work if you have distracting thoughts."

After standing still, the fisherman's children, who started arguing about who walked faster just now, immediately closed their eyes tightly and kept muttering:
"Sea God bless, I want to go to the same junior high school as Xiao Liang in the future, and continue to fight with him."

"Sea God bless, I want to grow taller and beat Aaron quickly, or be assigned to a different junior high school from him."

"Sea God bless, I want to get a score of 10000 in the next exam, so the teacher will let the most beautiful little flower in the class sit at the same table as me."

"Sea God bless, I want to quickly pick up the transformation device to save the world."

Sure enough, there are some rituals that are completely invented by adults to coax children.
Hearing these childlike wishes, Su Yang suddenly remembered something he mentioned when he was chatting with Zhu Wangqiaochu.

Zhu Wangqiaochu said that when he took a bath when he was a child, his mother would let him hold a mouthful of hot water in his mouth, saying that this way he would not catch cold easily.

But later I found out that it was actually because he liked to sing in the bath when he was a child, and it sounded as ugly as a frog, so he thought of such a way to deceive him.

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, Amitabha, may the Sea God bless you all."

While the village chief muttered the prayer of 'it has become longer and longer through the adaptation of successive village chiefs', he took out a wooden box carved with exquisite patterns and placed it in the middle of the altar.

This wooden box full of traces of time can be said to be the most valuable item in the entire Yu'er Village. Although it is not the wooden box originally used to enshrine the scales of the Sea God, it is also an antique that has been passed down for hundreds of years.

'If my great-great-great-grandfather's wooden box hadn't been stolen, how much would it be worth now? '

Every year during the Sea God Ceremony, the village chief would have such emotion in his heart.

Yu'er Village has such a simple folk customs, in fact, it is largely due to the remote location that is almost isolated from the world.

Without the messy desires of the world, it is naturally unlikely to have any evil intentions to calculate people.

However, there are no exceptions. A few hundred years back in time, there was a young fisherman who was clever and fond of reading since he was a child. He once had evil thoughts and tried to exchange the antique wooden box containing the scales of the Sea God.

It is said that his original intention revealed after he was caught was actually to exchange some funds for business, so as to lead Yuer Village out of poverty.

However, whether it is true or not is unknown.

After all, the time span is too long, and the stories are passed down from mouth to mouth by the older generation without any paper records.

But the fact that the wooden box containing the Seagod's scales was thrown away once is certain.

'But it's useless no matter how valuable it is, how can the things of the ancestors be sold?The more these kids read now, the less they understand why'

This sobering story has always worried the village head lately.

Because this year, several young people from the village took the initiative to come to persuade him to sell this antique wooden box containing the scales of the Sea God.

In this way, more funds can be invested in the industry of Yu'er Village, so as to achieve faster development.

In this era of rapid changes every day when he opens his eyes, even though he is in the remote and backward Yu'er Village, he can clearly feel that he has been left far behind by the rapid development of the world.

I vaguely remember that when I was young, other people of the same age in the village also had the idea of ​​selling wooden boxes, and then they were beaten up by their respective fathers and became honest.

But the current generation of backward waves is much more stubborn than their generation when they were young, and it is difficult to force the ideas of the older generation on them.

Therefore, as the village head, he often reflects on whether his thinking is really too old-fashioned?Would it be better to make some changes?
Obviously his age has passed the age of forty years, but he is still full of confusion about many things.
"Ugh"

Even though his mind had already wandered to nowhere, the village head, who still recited the prayer proficiently without any mistakes, sighed softly during the pause of a certain sentence.

You are already an old man, so don't worry so much, children and grandchildren have their own blessings
However, just as he was about to bend down, he pulled out the unremarkable brick for the table foot.

A villager who turned his back to the altar suddenly grew taller!

The two eyes that were originally wide open at his elbows, looking around, suddenly closed at this moment, and then the two eye slits began to melt quickly.

And not only the elbows and eyes, but other joints of the body and the back of the head also melted into lavender mucus.

Immediately afterwards, the limbs turned back abruptly, and the melted back of the head began to recombine into the appearance of human facial features.

When the mucus completely disappeared, the villager's back to the altar table turned into a face-to-face confrontation without any sense of disobedience!
The open palm went straight to the wooden box!
