As he walked, the battle armor on his body fell off, and then he changed into the appearance of a master and entered Chenjiazhuang.
After the former escort returned to Chenjiazhuang, he made the caravan stop at the inn in front of the village.
Then he went to the ancestral hall and summoned a group of elders from Chenjiazhuang to discuss.
As soon as Shen Tu entered the village, he saw a group of people happily carrying a suckling pig to the river.
There are many children around celebrating.
Shen Tu stopped to watch, and realized that the direction of this group of people was the ancestral hall in the village.
There is a pair of boys and girls at the entrance of the ancestral hall. Their heads are covered with a layer of red cloth and they are dressed in festive clothes.
It looks like they are going to get married, but how can they be married at such a young age?
At this time, someone finally noticed Shen Tu, an outsider.
A young man approached Shen Tu curiously.
"Young master, you don't look like someone from our Chen family village."
Shen Tu looked back at the young man, then nodded, "I'm from outside."
"There are still a few months before the New Year, why is this place dressed up like a holiday?"
The young man smiled: "You ask this."
"Today is our Chenjiazhuang's annual god festival."
"Gods will appear tonight to pick up the two boys and send their blessings to Chenjiazhuang."
"Our Chenjiazhuang has good weather every year, and the well-being of every household is achieved by the gods."
Shen Tu nodded.
So, it seems that this so-called god will really protect Chenjiazhuang.
He was just about to speak and tell this young man that your gods are just monsters.
The boys and girls sent did not go to the fairyland, but to the mouth of the monster.
But when he was about to speak, Chen Qiye stopped him directly.
"Don't pay too much attention to it. At night, when they send the boys and girls, you just follow and wipe out that monster."
Shen Tu signaled to understand.
Then he smiled at the young man and walked away slowly.
And just when Shen Tu was about to leave, a group of people suddenly appeared, blocking Shen Tu's way.
"Who are you! Why did you appear here!" A young and strong man among the group asked.
At this time, a group of old people came out of the ancestral hall, and the old bodyguard from before was among them.
It turned out that after the old bodyguard came back, he immediately ordered someone to guard the villa, and if any strange and suspicious people appeared, they would be stopped immediately.
He had a hunch that something might happen to tonight's celebration.
Seeing a group of people blocking him, Shen Tu just smiled lightly.
Then he turned his head and looked at the old bodyguard with indifferent eyes.
The old escort was stared at by Shen Tu, and his heart suddenly trembled.
For ordinary people, Shen Tu didn't want to take too many shots.
This is a human matter, unless the other party has a big crime.
As the god of the underworld, he cannot interfere with anyone too much.
Of course, except for Chen Qiye's orders.
The old bodyguard seemed to realize something, and said helplessly, "Let him go."
"Everyone around has dispersed. Don't be unhappy about today's festival."
Those young and strong people who surrounded Shen Tu drove away the onlookers.
Only the old bodyguard and a group of veterans in the village were left watching Shen Tu.
The old escort took a step forward and said slowly, "Young man, today is a big day in our village, so it's not convenient to receive guests."
"If you come tomorrow, I can set a table for you, but today, you can go back wherever you came from."
"It's best not to come to the village to make trouble, otherwise there will be divine punishment."
The old escort waved his hand, signaling Shen Tu to leave.
Shen Tu smiled contemptuously.
God's punishment?
The only divine punishment he has ever seen is the thunder calamity sent down by heaven.
Thousands of miles of dark clouds, heavy rain, thousands of thunderstorms.
Under this thunder catastrophe, immortals and Buddhas cannot escape, and even capable people will lose their souls.
This is the real divine punishment.
And what the old bodyguard said was just a little demon.
But Shen Tu didn't say much, just left slowly.
He wants to see, who is this God-punished person?
Shen Tu came directly to a river.
Another cloud of gray mist shot into the river.
This time the river god did not appear until a while later.
"See Master Shen Tu, I have ordered people to start looking for monsters everywhere in the river. I did find some fish monsters and crab monsters, but they were all harmless spirits, and they did not interfere with the common people."
"As for the big monster, there really isn't one in the Tongtian River Basin."
Shen Tu asked directly: "What about this area?"
The God of the River froze for a moment, and checked the area.
"There is only Chenjiazhuang in this area, and there are few villages within a radius of tens of miles."
"I can't spare the energy to manage such an area."
After Heshen finished speaking, he paused for a moment, and suddenly realized: "Master Shentu, are you saying that the big monster is hiding here?"
Shen Tu nodded.
The God of the River replied respectfully: "Master Shentu, the little god will send someone to search this area immediately."
After all, the river god entered the river.
Shen Tu took a look at the surrounding terrain. It was indeed rather barren here. Except for the Chenjiazhuang area, the other places were basically wild land with wet mud and overgrown grass.
Looking at it this way, only the land around Chenjiazhuang is suitable for farming.
In other words, in fact, this whole area is indeed not suitable for human habitation, and the area of Chenjiazhuang was deliberately done by someone!
Shen Tu seemed to understand, perhaps it was the trick of the big monster.
After a while, the river god came back.
"Report to Lord Shentu, this area is not big, I have ordered people to search for it, but within dozens of miles of rivers, there is no trace of the big monster."
"However, I did hear some water ghosts around say that at this time of year, there will be a behemoth appearing here, heading towards Chenjiazhuang."
"It's just that the breath of that creature is so strong that ordinary water ghosts dare not approach it at all, so I don't know what it is."
Shentu understood, waved his hand, and let the river god back down.
It seems that the big monster is not here.
If you want to find him, you have to wait until the opening ceremony of Chenjiazhuang at night.
Chapter 317 Worshiping the gods and sending them to the boy
into the night.
Shen Tu is sitting on the top of the mountain next to the Tongtian River and waiting.
The Chenjiazhuang below has already started sacrificial prayers.
The old people headed by Chen Jiazhuang directed the people below to place sacrifices.
Chicken, duck, fish, cattle and sheep were thrown into the river one after another.
On this river, there is also a wooden bridge spread out, but this wooden bridge does not cross the river, but is only paved to the middle of the river.
There are two seats in the middle of the river, just for the two virgin boys and girls to sit on.
After the people in Chenjiazhuang finished the sacrificial dance, two virgins and boys came to the stage.
The old escort took the two children by the hand to the wooden bridge and told them to walk forward.
The two children looked nervous. After all, no one knew what would happen after they walked past.
Everyone said that after walking over, they would be robbed by the gods of Tongtianhe, but no one knew what the gods looked like, and whether they went to a fairyland.
The two children were still full of joy before, but when they were about to walk over, they stopped in their tracks.
They looked back at the old bodyguard who was an elder, and the old bodyguard looked at them in embarrassment, but still urged them to move forward.
At this moment, a cry suddenly appeared behind the crowd in Chenjiazhuang.
"Wan'er! Zhi'er!" A woman hurried out from the crowd with tears in her eyes.
As soon as she appeared, the people in Chenjiazhuang immediately became surprised and gave way one after another.
But the group of young and middle-aged men protecting the village immediately stepped forward to stop her after she appeared.
"What's going on, why did you let him out?" One of the young and middle-aged men stood up and stopped the woman who wanted to run forward.
The woman kept begging: "Can I not let my son go?"
"Leave my son alone!"
Two people also hurriedly ran up behind the woman. They looked apologetic when they saw that the woman had come here.
"Brother Yuan, I'm sorry, this woman ran out from the back door while we weren't paying attention. We didn't catch up and let her come here to make trouble."
The young and strong man who came out was Chen Yuan. Seeing that the two were so careless, he gave him a lesson and asked them to take the woman back.
When the two children by the river saw their mother coming, they immediately shouted their mother's name.
But they were also stopped.
Seeing this situation, the old bodyguard had no choice but to stand up.
"what are you doing!"
"Chenjiazhuang is such a grand day, why did you come out to make trouble!"
The old escort reprimanded the woman.
With a mournful face, the woman kept pleading with the old escort: "Old Qin, I beg you, can you not let my two sons go!"
The woman knelt down directly, but Mr. Qin looked serious.
"What nonsense are you talking about! It's an honor for your family to let your two little ones go, and the River God is here to pick them up to enjoy their blessings."
"People from other families have been there, why can't yours go?"
"Are you still from Chenjiazhuang!"
The woman kept shaking her head: "I can't live without my two sons!"
"Old Qin, I beg you."
The woman not only looked at Mr. Qin, but also at the Chenjiazhuang people who surrounded her.
But when everyone looked at the woman's plea, their faces were expressionless. No one dared to step forward to help, and no one dared to speak out.
Only Mr. Qin looked at her seriously: "No."
"Zhuangli has already chosen many times, and this precedent cannot be broken!"
"You should be happy. In the future, Zhuang Li will be in charge of your back half of your body. Don't worry!"
