The copy has 0 error tolerance, and the last words on the ground are all wrong for me

Liu Shan paused and continued: "The so-called welcoming the new year is actually to strip away and seal the power in the evil spirit's body."

"After the New Year's Eve Festival of the previous year, preparations have to begin. Through formations, the original power is extracted from the evil spirits suppressed by Lord Shifo and sealed in the body of Zhenshan Beast."

"Only a dragon species born with supernatural powers can withstand such a large amount of evil energy without losing control."

Wu Chang glanced at the captive Zhenshan Beast and asked: "The Zhenshan Beast has absorbed enough evil energy, what happens next?"

"After that comes the second step, New Year's Eve." Liu Shan said.

Speaking of New Year's Eve, Wu Chang's brows twitched and he unconsciously thought of red envelopes.

However, judging from Liu Shan's solemn tone when he mentioned the New Year's Eve, it seems that there is no red envelope involved in the New Year's Eve.

"New Year's Eve?"

Liu Shan said: "The New Year's Eve is to select three small town mountain beasts that have absorbed the most evil spirits, cut open their stomachs and have their hearts removed, and then select three young villagers with strong bodies and strong blood to eat raw the town mountain beasts that are full of evil spirits. The heart of the beast.”

"Using one's own blood to suppress evil spirits is the New Year's Eve."

Wu Chang: "..."

The New Year's Eve celebration in Huaigu Village is a bit too hardcore.

It's such a lucky year, no wonder the Mountain Beasts reacted like that when they saw Liu Shan.

"After the New Year's Eve, there is the third step, keeping up the New Year's Eve. This step requires the use of the Sifang Palace Lantern that Wu Daxia just retrieved."

"During the New Year's Eve, a huge bonfire needs to be lit with the New Year's Fire in the palace lanterns. Three New Year's Eve people sit around the fire for a day and night, using the New Year's Fire as an aid to refine evil spirits."

"After that, it's New Year's Eve. Fifteen villagers will be selected from the village to act as evildoers, holding locust tree branches and beating the New Year's Eve people until the New Year's Eve spits out black ash and the evil spirits are completely dissipated."

After listening to the entire ceremony of the New Year's Eve Ceremony, Wu Chang thought about where the New Year's Eve Ceremony might have failed.

First of all, exclude the New Year greetings and New Year blessings.

Although the Mountain-Suppressing Beast looks extraordinary, it is still an ordinary beast after all, not a divine beast.

Being kept captive by the villagers of Huaigu Village and undergoing many New Year's Eve ceremonies, he should be unable to resist.

In the part of keeping the year old, the Suihuo and the New Year's Eve formation cooperate to protect the keepers around the Suihuo from dying, and it is not a problem to survive the day and night.

What may go wrong is the last New Year's Eve.

"What should we do if the people watching the New Year's Eve don't spit out black ash when the New Year's Eve comes, and the evil spirits are not refined?"

Liu Shan was silent for a moment and finally said:

"When fighting monsters, someone may die at any time. Those who volunteer to become New Year's Eve are all the best young men in the village. If the evil spirit cannot be refined..."

"They will throw themselves into the fire of the year, and use the fire of the year to directly refine the evil spirits."

Wu Chang took advantage of the situation and asked, "Is there anything I can do to help?"

Liu Shan complimented: "We are just rural people and do not understand those magic arts. You are the best help by sitting in charge of the festival."

Wu Chang sorted out the current intelligence and had two ideas to complete the second main task, "protect the village and complete the New Year's Eve ceremony".

One is to achieve the goal and get rid of evil spirits.

As long as the thoughts lead to evil spirits and are removed with the Soul Cleansing Flag, the New Year's Eve will be automatically considered completed.

But whether getting rid of evil spirits and completing the New Year's Eve ceremony can be considered the same, he was a little unsure about this.

Another method is to make the four steps of welcoming the New Year, New Year's Eve, keeping the New Year's Eve, and removing the New Year's Eve perfect.

The actions in this mode are relatively rigid, but the judgment of task completion is relatively loose.

If the word "mission" is used, the main mission is to let him complete the New Year's Eve ceremony, but not to actually kill the evil spirits.

The ritual can be completed in form, but it does not pose a threat to the evil spirit at all.

But as a copy that is on the verge of getting out of control, whether it is method one or two, can everything really go according to plan?

The whole village of Huaigu Village was working at full speed, and it took only one day to prepare for the New Year's Eve Festival.

In the evening of that day, three animals were prepared in the village, and Liu Shan and two elders accompanied each other to recite blessings and sacrifice to their ancestors.

After the sacrifice, the three young people who were chosen as the lucky ones walked out of the crowd.

They were naked to the waist, wearing only light shorts, and their foreheads were covered with animal skin forehead protectors.

The villagers formed three circles, which were like three simple arenas, in which the New Year's Eve and the selected young mountain beasts fought.

This step is not necessary, but the villagers believe that hunters have innate suppression of the prey they catch with their own hands. This relationship between hunting and being hunted helps to refine evil spirits more easily.

With their dexterous movements and superb martial arts, the three of them quickly killed the three young mountain-suppressing beasts.

Liu Shan and two other old men took charge of the operation, and amid the cheers of the villagers, they divided the three young mountain beasts.

After drinking the wine dripping with the blood of the Zhenshan Beast, the eyes of the three New Year's Eve guests turned faintly red, and heat steamed from the surface of their skin.

Then they took over the Heart of the Mountain-Suppressing Beast, tearing and biting it like wild beasts. In a few mouthfuls, they swallowed the black heart that was the size of a bowl and was filled with evil aura.

This concludes the New Year's greetings and New Year's greetings.

After swallowing the evil aura, the expressions of the three New Year's Eve guests changed drastically, and there was black energy flowing between their brows.

Seeing that something was wrong, Liu Shan shouted: "Fire!"

Liu Wei held the four-sided fire lantern and quickly came to the giant bonfire prepared in advance. Without any control, the fire in the palace lantern poked out like a snake and ignited the huge bonfire.

The three New Year's Eve guests formed a Chinese character and sat cross-legged around the bonfire.

Bathed in the fire of the year, the blackness on the faces of the three people eased somewhat, and their brows gradually relaxed.

Seeing that everything was on track, the whole village breathed a sigh of relief.

Except Liu Wei.

As the most supportive person in the village to hold the New Year's Eve ceremony in advance, and the one who lit the bonfire with a palace lantern, Liu Wei looked the most embarrassed at the moment.

As the eldest brother, he could guess what Liu Wu was going to do after leaving the village.

But he didn't expect that Wu Chang would return with the four-sided New Year's Eve lanterns right after Liu Wu left the village. The experience of Chenjia Village accelerated the progress of the New Year's Eve ceremony to this extent.

Even if Liu Wu could return safely from Chenjia Village, he might not be able to catch up with the big day of the New Year's Eve ceremony.

As the most radical early party, he had no time to change his position and ask for the New Year's Eve ceremony to be postponed.

All he could do now was to pray for something to go wrong with the ceremony and postpone it for two or three days until Liu Wu came back.

The huge bonfire burned from sunrise to sunset, and it would burn for twelve hours in a blink of an eye.

The New Year's Eve ceremony went very smoothly, and the accident that Liu Wei hoped for did not occur.

Fifteen burly villagers have taken their positions. They hold three-meter-long locust tree branches and paint their faces with black, white and red paint, looking like ferocious ghost messengers.

Seeing that the time is coming, Liu Wei has completely given up and no longer expects anything to happen.

However, just as the fifteen ghost messengers raised their locust whips and waited for Liu Shan's order to start whipping, the three people who had closed their eyes opened their eyes in advance.

Their eyes were no longer clear and were covered by a layer of dark mist.

The black air overflowed from their eyes, covering their bodies and turning into a hard scale armor. With the wailing of the three people, their limbs turned into claws and sharp teeth grew in their mouths.

Before the villagers could react to what happened, the three beast-like New Year's Eve people had already flashed to the side of the "ghost messengers".

With the sharp claws waving, they cut the fifteen ghost messengers into forty or fifty pieces in a few breaths.

Liu Wei, who was praying on the side, widened his eyes and slapped himself hard.

Pain, not a dream.

His prayer worked, surprisingly!
