System: I am a second-hand dealer in the world of immortality
Chapter 293 Mirror
Shen Xia turned around and saw a woman standing next to the jade box in the center of the altar. She was wearing plain white clothes and appeared out of thin air.
"Who are you?" Shen Xia held the Fei Qiong Sword across his chest and made an attack posture.
But the woman covered her face with her sleeves and chuckled: "Why are you so nervous? I can't pose any threat to you."
Shen Xia used her spiritual consciousness to explore and found out that indeed, this woman was in a spirit state and not aggressive, and so far, she didn't show any aggressive tendencies.
Shen Xia put down the Feiqiong Sword slightly, thought of a possibility, and asked, "Are you the 'god' that the villagers of Shibi Village serve?"
"No, no, no," the woman shook her head, "How can I compare with that one? I'm just a container to hold him."
Shen Xia looked at the jade box on the stone pillar: "This box?"
The woman nodded and walked slowly towards Shen Xia: "Yes, she is also a witness to this sacrament. How about you, are you interested in hearing the story of what happened here before you completely destroy it?"
Shen Xia did not reply, but took a few steps back vigilantly. The woman said casually: "You don't have to be so cautious. I won't do anything to you. As early as the first day I became a container, I knew there would be something like this." One day came, but no one has been here for a long time, and I felt a little lonely."
"As long as you listen to me finish the story," the woman suddenly floated in front of Shen Xia and gently pressed Shen Xia's hand holding Fei Qiong Sword, "I will open the box, otherwise, you will not be able to open it no matter what. That box."
One of Shen Xia's few advantages was listening to advice, and she was indeed curious about what was going on here, so she nodded: "Long story short."
"This is not a lake." The woman returned to the stone pillar and leaned against it. "This is the original address of Shibi Village."
Shibicun has always relied on the mountains to make a fortune, relying on the jade mines in this mountain. However, there will always be a day when no ore can be mined out of all the fishing. At this time, Shibi Village has developed into a large-scale village of three to four hundred households.
Everyone is waiting for the jade from this mountain to eat. Now that jade cannot be mined, what should so many people do? This burden falls on the village chief, who is also the clan leader.
Just when the population of Shibi Village began to gradually decrease, an immortal came to the village. She said that she was summoned here, and she told the current situation of Shibi Village without even having to say anything from the village chief. And he vowed that he had a solution.
The village chief immediately enshrined the immortal as a guest, and greeted him with delicious food and drinks. However, when asked what the immortal's method was, the immortal shook his head and said that it was not yet time.
No one knows when the immortal said it. After staying there for five or six days, the immortal suddenly said to the village chief that it was tonight. She asked the village chief to gather everyone in the center of the village to watch the miracle come.
The village chief didn't know what the miracle the immortal said was, but now he had no choice but to be a living doctor, so he summoned everyone at night.
In the center of the village is the altar that the immortal ordered people to build overnight. At that time, the altar was very simple, with only one stone pillar on the altar.
"Everyone," the immortal stood on the stone pillar dressed in white, "are you ready to receive God's blessing?"
Before anyone could react, there was lightning and thunder in the sky. Everyone was too frightened to raise their heads and all knelt on the ground. Only the village chief glanced up quietly.
He saw the immortal rising into the sky, and behind her was a huge disc. The thunder and lightning struck the immortal one after another, and the disc behind her also began to crack.
I don’t know how long these lightnings lasted, but eventually it started to rain. You must know that Shibicun has not seen rain for a year and a half.
When the village chief saw that it was indeed a miracle, he quickly led the villagers to kneel down and worship the immortal.
The immortal who had experienced the thunderstorm was now even more detached from the world. The village chief felt as if the immortal was about to ascend in the next second.
"You, Shi Bicun, are going to be punished by heaven for your wanton mining of ores. Now that I have blocked this punishment for you, I have intervened in your cause and effect." The immortal said.
"That's all," the immortal stroked his sleeves, "Since I have intervened, I will find another way out for you."
After saying that, the immortal took out a mirror, and the village chief recognized it as the huge disk that had just appeared behind the immortal.
The immortal broke off a piece of the mirror and handed it to the village chief: "Take it. As long as you worship it properly, Shibi Village will not die, and it can satisfy whatever you want."
"But," the immortal changed the topic, "someone will come to pick it up many years later, just leave it to her. In addition, if the desire is too much, it will definitely collapse." After saying this, the immortal disappeared from the place.
Everyone heard what the immortal said, and everyone became greedy.
Everyone built a fully enclosed jade box to prevent the person in the fairy's mouth from taking away the mirror. The jade box was kept by the village chief. However, everyone was afraid that the village chief would make a wish to the mirror for his own selfish desires, so they forced the jade box to be taken away. The mirror is placed on the altar in the center of the village, and a group of several people patrols it every day. This ensures that the mirror is under the eyes of every villager at all times.
At first, the villagers only made some "macro" wishes to the mirror, such as hoping for continuous ore in Shibi Village, abundant rain, etc., and only during the Chinese New Year and festivals, the village chief led everyone to worship together. In order to worship, the village also A priest was specially chosen.
Then some people began to make wishes for their own selfish desires and offered more sacrifices.
This started to get out of hand, not everyone's wishes would be fulfilled, so the villagers began to work hard on sacrifices. At first, the sacrifices were just fruits or chicken, duck, and fish, and then they became various kinds of prey.
But even so, Shi Bicun was once again in trouble—no more mines could be dug, and no sacrifices were offered.
Now everyone was in a panic, and the stalemate lasted for several months. Someone proposed using a living sacrifice.
After several experiments, the villagers of Shibi Village found that using pregnant women as a living sacrifice was the most effective. Later, the village chief sent people to build six stone pillars at the altar, which was the altar that Shen Xia had seen before.
Until one time, it started to rain after the sacrificial ceremony. That night, the village chief had a dream, dreaming that the rain would keep falling and eventually the whole Shibi Village would be submerged, and a black dragon would be born.
Sure enough, the rain never stopped, and the village chief had to move everyone with him to the current location of Shibi Village.
It was indeed calm for a while after the migration. The village chief did not dare to worship anymore, but people are always greedy. Besides, there are still so many people in Shibi Village who have to live. They are used to the convenience of worshiping the gods. , how can you be willing to go back to the time when you relied on the sky for food?
