Phoenix Feather

Xuanxuan and the others were very puzzled, and Yi Bubu said, "Isn't the sun lady the god you believe in? How can you say death?"

Shen Yang said: "The sun lady I'm talking about is a human being, not the sun lady god we believe in.

"

Everyone was confused, and Shen Yang explained: "The sun lady I'm talking about is a priestess who was elected. There are three in total. Didn't I say that the queen of the yin and the sun lady were invited? The three selected women are Invite the priests of the Sun Lady, they are usually honored as the Sun Lady, the bell just now is to inform the townspeople that the Sun Lady is dead, and everyone is urgently called to a meeting to elect a by-priest.”

Everyone suddenly realized.

Yue Yu asked: "Can this priest only be a woman?"

Shen Yang nodded: "And it must be a married woman with a daughter."

"Daughter, why? Son can't do it?" Ibubu felt that this condition was extremely weird.

Shen Yang shook his head: "No, as for why, I can only say that this is a tradition and cannot be changed."

It was the first time for everyone to hear such a thing, and they felt that the size of the world was really full of wonders.

Shen Yang handed Shen Liu to Xia Ruohai, and said: "I have to go to the meeting, you stay at home, I will be back soon."

Everyone's curiosity was aroused, Xuanxuan asked: "Can we follow?"

Shen Yang hesitated: "It's not impossible, but you are considered outsiders, so remember not to talk later."

"We promise to be a dumb bystander," Ibb said.

Xia Ruohai was not willing to stay at home with the two children, but wanted to go together. Shen Yang was in a dilemma. Looking at Wen Xiaojun, his son was relatively quiet and didn't talk much, but Wen Xiaojun just...

Seeing that the adults were all looking at him, Wen Xiaojun covered his face and said shyly, "Uncle, what are you doing looking at me, I will be embarrassed."

Shen Liu slapped Wen Xiaojun's face, "You're a brat, you won't be shy, Brother Hai said so."

Everyone couldn't help laughing.

Wen Xiaojun complained to Shen Yang angrily: "Papa Shen, my uncle always speaks ill of me, he bullies the small with the big."

Xia Ruohai laughed arrogantly twice: "That's because you are too easy to bully, listen, you are not allowed to speak later, otherwise I won't take you out, and leave you alone at home to watch the door."

Wen Xiaojun said: "If uncle doesn't talk, I won't talk."

Xia Ruohaile: "You said this yourself. If you make any noise later, I will tell Xiao Liu not to talk to you, and suffocate you to death."

Wen Xiaojun clenched his fists: "I, I will cover my mouth with tape."

Everyone is happy.

Shen Liu patted Wen Xiaojun's shoulder very loyally: "No tape, I'll cover your mouth for you."

"Xiao Liu, you are the best." Wen Xiaojun rubbed his arms around Shen Liu.

After three chapters with the two children, Shen Yang took everyone to the meeting.

The meeting point was the ancestral hall. When Xuanxuan and others arrived, they saw that there were already people standing there, three floors inside and three floors outside. Although there were many people, it was unusually quiet.

Everyone found a relatively shady place outside. It was okay for adults to bask in the sun, but the two children couldn't bask in the sun, especially Shen Liu, who hadn't fully recovered from his illness.

There are three chairs in front of the ancestral hall, and three elderly women are sitting on the chairs.

Ibbu stood on tiptoe and tried to look inside, but he was relatively short, so he could only see a row of heads.

Being depressed, her waist tightened, and when she looked back, she saw Su Fengliu hugging herself.

Embarrassed, Yi Bubu glared at Su Fengliu, asking him to let go, but Su Fengliu didn't let go, but just raised his chin forward, motioning him to look quickly.

Ibubu's face was red and his ears were hot, and he turned his head——

Xuanxuan and the other six, except for Yi Bubu, are all 180 cm tall, so although they stand relatively far away, their vision is not affected.

Seeing Ibubu's embarrassment, Zhan Huanchen covered his mouth and laughed.

Ibub scratched his head: what a fart.

Zhan Huanchen coughed lightly: Don't laugh fart, laugh at you short.

Ibub was suffocated.

There was a space in the center of the crowd, and a simple wooden bed made of two long wooden benches and a wooden plank was placed. A female corpse lay on the wooden bed.

The female corpse was wearing red clothes and red trousers, and red shoes on her feet. The dress was exactly the same as those women in red clothes last night. The only difference was that the women last night wore red veils, and this female corpse wore a sun pattern. Gold brow.

Seeing the face of the female corpse, both Xuanxuan and Yueyu couldn't help being startled, isn't this the clay statue from last night?Could it be that the clay statue last night was made according to the appearance of this female corpse?

At this time, the woman sitting in the chair in the middle who looked the oldest spoke up: "Last night, Zhang Xiao died unexpectedly. According to the original arrangement, Zhang Xiao was in charge of praying to the gods on the first day. When she died, she had to find someone to help her." To replace her, in terms of seniority, we have selected three people, namely Liu Yan, Chen Fang, and Zhu Hong, and we will start voting now."

After finishing speaking, the woman waved her hand, and someone next to her immediately distributed the red paper to the people around her, and Shen Yang also got one.

The strange thing is that the person who handed out the red paper was only handed over to Shen Yang, and turned a blind eye to Xuan Xuan and the others beside him.

Everyone wondered to themselves: how does this person know that they are not from Sun City?

One after another, people put the red paper with their names written on it into a bamboo basket. After everyone had paid in, the counting of votes began. In the end, Zhu Hong got the most votes.

After the old woman in the middle announced her name, the woman named Zhu Hong immediately walked out of the crowd, stepped forward to take the gold forehead ornament with the sun pattern from the forehead of the female corpse, put it on, and then asked the three The old woman kowtowed respectfully.

The old woman nodded, and said: "You have to prepare well for the next two days." She motioned for Zhu Hong to come over and whispered, Zhu Hong nodded from time to time.

The distance was too far, Xuan Xuan and others couldn't hear what the old woman said.

After the old woman finished speaking, she was helped away by the two women next to her.As soon as they left, the people around them also left.

Soon, only Xuan Xuan and the others and the woman named Zhu Hong were left.

Zhu Hong looked at Shen Yang with an unhappy face: "Why don't you leave?"

Shen Yang hurriedly said: "Let's go now." After speaking, he winked at everyone, signaling to leave quickly.

Everyone left the ancestral hall suspiciously.

After walking a certain distance, Xuanxuan took out a small mirror and looked back——

After death, Zhu Hong disappeared, and so did the female corpse, and only the wooden bed remained in front of the ancestral hall.

Seeing Xuanxuan stopped, Yueyu and others also stopped, Yibubu asked: "What's the matter, young master?"

Xuanxuan didn't answer, but turned around - sure enough, Zhu Hong and the female corpse were gone, so it was too fast?

Ibubu snorted, "Where's the corpse?"

"No more than 2 minutes." Yue Yu said.

Everyone is confused, what 2 minutes?

Xuanxuan immediately understood, "From the time we turned around and left the ancestral hall to the time I turned back, the period of time did not exceed 2 minutes."

Two broad bluestone roads from east to west and north to south form a huge cross across the whole town. The ancestral hall is built at the intersection, and there are no other houses around. It is impossible to get out of Xuanxuan and the others' sight.

"Breaking ghosts during the day—" Before Su Fengliu finished speaking, Yi Bubu gave him a supercilious look.

Zhan Huanchen said: "Could it be that he entered the ancestral hall?"

It's possible.

But there was no one in the ancestral hall, only a mahogany coffin was placed there alone.

Zhan Huanchen wanted to go into the ancestral hall to investigate, but Shen Yang hurriedly stopped him: "You can't go in."

"Why can't you go in?"

"This is the rule. Only the sun lady and the yin envoy can enter the ancestral hall...The yin envoy is the woman who sent the yin queen."

"And what if other people go in?" asked Ibub.

"I heard that you will be cursed, and you will definitely die within a month."

Shen Yang's expression was serious, he didn't seem to be joking, Yi Bubu and the others were dubious.

Xuanxuan looked at Yueyu—what do you think?

Yue Yu shrugged—it will be known in a month.

Xuanxuan and Yueyu didn't care about the curse at all, so they didn't tell everyone that they had sneaked into the ancestral hall last night.

Except for the coffin, there was no place to hide people in the ancestral hall. Although he didn't believe in the curse, Zhan Huanchen didn't insist on going in.

Xia Ruohai whispered to Shen Yang: "Teacher, you are really weird here."

Shen Yang didn't answer, he is not a superstitious person, but in Sun City, there are too many unexplainable things, this place is both mysterious and scary, while being attracted, he wants to escape far away.He actually didn't want to come back to participate in the ancestor worship, but he had to come back.

Xuan Xuan thought of one thing, he asked Shen Yang: "Just now you seemed very anxious to ask us to leave, can you tell me the reason?"

Shen Yang said: "My grandma once said that if the previous Sun Granny died, her body would not be handed over to her family for burial, but her successor, the next Sun Granny, would dispose of it as a gift to the Sun Goddess. Therefore, when the corpse is being disposed of, no one else can be present... You have also noticed that after the meeting just now, everyone consciously left immediately."

Yue Yu asked: "How do you deal with it?"

Everyone was curious, but Shen Yang said he didn't know.

It was almost noon at this time, and the group returned to the Shen family's ancestral house, intending to go out after lunch to find clues.

Turned a corner and turned into the road where the Shen family's ancestral house was located. There were six families along this road, and the Shen family's ancestral house was the last one. When passing the fourth house, there was a little girl in a white cotton skirt with a blue background. The girl suddenly rushed out of the room, and bumped into Wen Xiaojun who was holding Xia Ruohai's hand and turning his head to talk to Shen Liu from time to time——

Wen Xiaojun fell to the ground, and the little girl was on top of him.

Xia Ruohai closed her eyes, Wen Xiaojun's ass exploded from the fall.

Pulling the little girl up, and helping Wen Xiaojun up, Xia Ruohai was heartbroken when he saw that his nephew was about to cry, "Do you feel any pain?"

Wen Xiaojun sniffed, "Butt hurts."

"Uncle rub it for you."

"Take it easy."

"Know it."

The little girl turned around and ran back to the house, grabbed the door frame, and looked timidly at Xuan Xuan and the others.

At this time, a woman came out of the house——

Seeing the woman's appearance clearly, everyone couldn't help being surprised, isn't this Zhu Hong?

Seeing that it was Shen Yang and the others, Zhu Hong frowned, looked at Wen Xiaojun who Xia Ruohai was holding, and then at the daughter who was holding her thigh, probably guessing what happened, she pulled her daughter to the front , "Say sorry to brother, go."

The little girl pinched the corner of her clothes and said sorry in a mosquito-like voice.

Shen Yang hurriedly said: "It's okay, it's okay."

Zhu Hong glanced at everyone, and dragged the little girl into the house.

Zhu Hong’s family is setting up a table for dinner. An old woman and an old man are sitting in the main seat. On the left is a young man and woman, like a couple. On the right is a middle-aged man... Zhu Hong sat down beside the middle-aged man, and her daughter sat down. by her side...

When Zhu Hong sat down, the old woman in the main seat snorted lightly.

This snort made Xuanxuan glance into the room subconsciously——

The old woman was upset, and said to the middle-aged man, "Go and close the door."

The middle-aged man agreed and stood up.

The door closed in front of Xuan Xuan and the others.

Xuan Xuan asked Yue Yu and the others: "Did you see it?"

The crowd nodded.

That old woman was the old woman who presided over the meeting just now. Judging from the situation just now, this old woman is very likely to be Zhu Hong's mother-in-law.

Su Fengliu stroked his chin and said, "Subtle, subtle."

Zhan Huanchen said: "I'm curious, what exactly did Zhu Hong do with that female corpse? How could he finish it so quickly and go home for dinner?"

Yue Yu said: "I'm curious what happened in the house before that little girl ran out?"

Xuanxuan raised his eyebrows, "I'm curious too." Zhu Hong's family should be preparing to eat, for no reason, why did her daughter run out without eating?Did something unpleasant happen at the dinner table?

"You and Yueyu are worthy of being a couple, and they both focus on special things." Zhan Huanchen teased Xuanxuan.

Xuanxuan and Yueyu looked at each other and smiled.

Xuan Xuan asked Shen Yang who that old woman was, and Shen Yang said: "The longest-lived person in Sun City belongs to the category of wise people. It can be said that she has the highest status here."

No wonder he was a little domineering.Xuan Xuan said heartily.

After lunch, Xuan Xuan and the others went out to look for clues according to the original plan. Since the six of them were too conspicuous together, after discussion, they decided to split up.

Because they had to dress up the little unicorn, Xuanxuan and Yueyu went out more than ten minutes later than Su Fengliu and the others. When they passed Zhu Hong's house, it happened that Zhu Hong took her daughter Yaya out of the house
