Being the young master of the dead demon world has a tendency to be masochistic

Suddenly, hurried footsteps came from the front, and an old man cried out while beating a gong: "June [-]th, an unknown day. Goddess's embroidery ball, who will lose it, who will be worried!" The sound was even harsher, everyone frowned upon hearing this, but the old man's words prompted Xiao Yunyi and others to look at the source of the sound.

What day is June fifteenth?Why did the old man make such a hasty publicity?

The old man who was ringing the gong walked straight towards the direction of Xiao Yunyi and the others. He looked a little dazed and dull, and the rustling footsteps showed the fear and panic in his heart.

Seeing that the old man was getting closer and closer to Xiao Yunyi and the others, his actions of gonging and crying did not stop.When passing by them, the old man didn't look at them directly, but just walked to another field on his own.

Afterwards, the farmers put down their hoes and wiped the sweat from their foreheads, and their minds about working disappeared instantly.The farmers gathered together in unison, whispering solemnly, followed by bursts of lamentation.

"Tomorrow is the fifteenth day of June."

"I don't know whose house the hydrangea ball will fall into this time."

"Poor, really pitiful!"

Su Ye came forward curiously and said, "Old men, what day is this June [-]th?"

A tall and thin old man replied: "Every June [-]th is an unknown day. The goddess Zihua will go down to earth and take away a child in the village. Whoever loses the goddess's hydrangea ball must offer a child."

To put it simply, every June [-]th, a child must be sacrificed as a sacrificial offering.

"What is that goddess? Why do you want to send the child?" Ou Fengsheng said with a look of disdain.

Another chubby old man said: "Since someone saw Zihua Goddess 15 years ago, this custom has been passed down to this day."

Hearing this, Xiao Yunyi raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh? So you mean, this happened only 15 years ago? Has anyone who has seen a goddess ever said what a goddess looks like?"

The tall and thin old man said: "15 years ago, a young woman was taken away by the goddess when she went to fetch water by the river. It is said that the goddess forced her to die and asked her to convey the will of the sacrifice to the villagers. The strange thing is that the young woman was not injured at all. When she returned from the ground, she passed on the will of the goddess to other villagers. The young woman only said that the goddess called herself Zihua. When she appeared, she was dressed plainly and wore a bamboo hat with a veil. He has clear eyebrows and a slender figure."

"What will happen if the child is not presented on time?" Su Ye asked.

"Two years ago, the villagers tried to resist the decree and did not sacrifice their children on June [-]th. As a result...the goddess took away three children as punishment that year. Since then, the villagers have no choice but to obey." Weibo The fat old man shook his head helplessly and sighed again and again.

The farmers saw that Xiao Yunyi and the others had extraordinary personalities, and they were definitely not idle people, and they looked forward to them being able to solve this important matter for the village.The farmers put down their work one after another, took Xiao Yunyi and others into the village, arranged a hotel for them, and said that they wanted them to witness the hydrangea ball ceremony tomorrow morning.

Early the next morning, Xiao Yunyi and others waited in the tea room on the upper floor of the inn.Su Ye sat directly opposite to Xiao Yunyi, and Bai Xiyuan was on Xiao Yunyi's left, and the three of them took seats by the window, so that they could observe the situation outside.

There was still smoking tea and local refreshments on the table, Xiao Yunyi ate refreshments leisurely, and poured tea for the two people sitting with him from time to time, but the two were indifferent to Xiao Yunyi's kindness.Under the current situation, only Xiao Yunyi was in the mood to drink tea and eat snacks, and he didn't care about the embroidery ball ceremony at all.

Under the tall building, a white horse passed by the street, making the sound of hooves. Su Ye quickly picked up the saber that was placed on the table, and looked out the window vigilantly.He saw a white horse galloping away, rolling up the dust on the ground, and then disappeared in a flash before disappearing from his sight.

Only then did Su Ye put down his sword with peace of mind, sat back on the chair, sighed softly, and said, "When is this, and when did the hydrangea ball ceremony start?"

Xiao Yunyi calculated in his mind that this was the 18th time that Su Ye No. was frightened by the sounds on the street and raised his vigilance. The first few times he almost jumped from the window in order to find out the source of the sounds.In the past, he kindly reminded him that he didn't have to be so vigilant, but Su Ye didn't seem to take his words to heart, and he still cheered up, just like the vanguard army on the battlefield, ready to fight his life at any time.

Xiao Yunyi played with the teacup in his hand a little bit amusedly, seeing Su Ye's startled look, he felt a little funny, but he still maintained a calm expression.

"Brother Su Ye, don't worry." Xiao Yunyi said.

Xiao Yunyi looked in Bai Xiyuan's direction, although she was not as nervous as Su Ye, but her eyes never left the window.

In a certain part of the inn, a shop waiter had been watching them for a long time, and he knew the purpose of their visit, but he didn't dare to ask rashly, so he had to take the opportunity to ask by adding water to the teapot: "Guests, are you waiting?" Hydrangea ball ceremony?"

Seeing that the water in the teapot hadn't been drained yet and hot water was added, Xiao Yunyi knew that this person must have come to gossip.But that's okay, as a local resident, he naturally knows more than them, so Xiao Yunyi also stopped by to inquire about the situation.

"Little Er, sit down."

Hearing this, the shop waiter was taken aback, stepped back quickly, and said tremblingly: "What?" He was just curious about this group of young people with extraordinary temperament, so he asked a few more questions, could it be that he offended the customer?

Xiao Yun's frightened pale face was uglier than seeing a monster, which made Xiao Yunyi very displeased, and he began to suspect that it was because of the torturous experience that he had made his appearance out of shape and frightened others.He patted the stool and said, "You, come and sit down!"

It was heard that the waiter's expression was even more distorted, but his body leaned forward slightly by accident, walked towards the stool step by step, and sat down beside Xiao Yunyi.

"What are you afraid of? Let me ask you a few questions. How does the ceremony go? Where is the person who threw the hydrangea ball?" Xiao Yunyi asked.

Hearing this, the shop clerk was relieved immediately, he thought he had offended the customer.In an instant, his expression returned to its original state, and he said with a smile: "The guest officer misunderstood, this hydrangea ball was not thrown by someone, but came here by himself."

The three of them were all at a loss when they heard it, and Bai Xiyuan rarely asked, "Why did you come here?" Just as this thought flashed through everyone's minds, there was a burst of shouts from around: "The hydrangea ball is here!"

It was heard that all the disciples of the immortal family and casual cultivators left the inn with lightning speed.Su Ye and Bai Xiyuan, who were seated with Xiao Yunyi, disappeared in front of Xiao Yunyi's eyes the second the shout sounded, following the embroidered flower ball brought by the goddess.

Xiao Yunyi stood up straight in a calm manner, looked down at the waiter from the shop, and asked, "Look at you being scared to death, I'm really sorry."

Even so, Xiao Yunyi did not show the slightest apology on his face.I saw him pick up the teacup, put it in front of the waiter, and said with a smile, "You know me?"

Of course the waiter in the shop didn't dare to take the cup of tea in front of him, he just lowered his head slightly and said in a low voice, "I, I just think the guest officer looks familiar."

At the moment when Xiao Yunyi met his eyes, the waiter only felt that he had seen this person before, as if it was a dead branch that remained under the big pagoda tree after thousands of generations, although many things have long been erased by time, However, he still couldn't hide the aura left by this person.

"How familiar?"

"I..." Before he finished speaking, Xiao Yunyi was pulled by Su Ye who returned temporarily, Su Ye said: "Brother Xiao Yao, I'm really sorry, I left you behind just now, come with me."

Su Ye did not allow him to resist and pulled him out. When Xiao Yunyi came to his senses, he had already left the inn, so he had to give up asking and search for the hydrangea ball with others.

The shop waiter was stunned and watched the two of them leave the inn.He felt something behind him blocking his robes—his cat's tail, which had been vacated by fright.He had no choice but to pat the cat's tail and take it back into his body. After all, all the people coming and going in the inn are ordinary people, so it is best to avoid such unprofessional behaviors that scare the guest officers.

If Xiao Yunyi was still there, maybe I would tell him that he was very much like the man who fought side by side with me thousands of years ago.That's why when I saw that person for the first time, I was momentarily dazed.

But his hostility that made people shy away from him back then is long gone, and it is impossible to grab himself for questioning—after all, that man was so powerful back then, even ghosts and gods would be very afraid of seeing him, so there is no need to follow him alone. The news came from the mouth of the cat demon who had not improved much.

The cat demon shook his head and dispelled the suspicion in his heart. He drank the tea left by the man just now, and then took a rag to clean up the table.

Xiao Yunyi was originally confused about "the embroidery ball will come here by itself", but he finally understood when he saw him today.

The hydrangea ball that people call is made of red silk and satin. If you look carefully, there is actually a little bird hidden in the hydrangea ball wrapped with red silk and satin.Although the little bird was trapped by the red silk, there was enough room to flap its wings and fly forward.This also means that whoever the bird flies to is the one who "won" the hydrangea and was chosen by the goddess today.

The little bird in this hydrangea ball is very playful. It was about to enter a certain villager's house several times, but it changed its direction temporarily and turned to another place.This caused the villagers who witnessed the hydrangea ball to enter the eaves of their houses, but then took a sharp turn and flew out of the house to panic and escaped danger.

The people chased the extremely naughty bird, and made the street jump up and down. Finally, under the eyes of everyone, the hydrangea ball flew into a room and did not come out for a long time. Afterwards, there was a burst of grief. The cries were heard outside the house.

The candidates for the sacrifice have been determined, and the hydrangea ball ceremony is terminated.

I saw the little bird staying in the room for a while, scanning the people around with its dull eyes, with an indescribable indifference.The hydrangea rolled slightly on the ground, and happened to roll in front of a little boy. The little bird stopped flapping its wings, but pecked through the red silk and satin, and then came out of the hole and flew to the sky.
