Chapter 41: Sacrifice

I was originally sitting on top of the stool, after hearing these words I didn't fall off the stool, this news came as too much of a shock. Then I asked my second uncle, "You said, that old sorcerer air thirty years ago stole the mountain god's things a man and a woman, is my grandmother Xiu E and Zhuo Anu?"

The second uncle took out the photo, just I still do not know what this photo is content, now a look completely understand, the second uncle just now have counted the evidence, those who have experienced thirty years ago that disaster of the old man has identified, when the first to come to a man and a woman, is the photo of the Xiu'e grandmother and Zhuo Anu.

"This!" I differed.

The second uncle smiled bitterly and said, "I felt that something wasn't quite right when that sorcerer was talking about it, so I specially came back to ask for confirmation, and now it seems that everything is strung together, my mom and Zhuo Anu, after leaving the Locked Tail Village er. Came to this Broken Tail Walled Village, went to that forbidden place, that is, the Mountain God Master's chambers stole the Mountain God Master's treasures, triggering a snake plague that almost destroyed this village."

"After that, they couldn't bear to do so, and sent a gift to the Mountain God Master, which allowed the villagers in the midst of the water and fire to survive, and if I'm not mistaken, that gift offered to the Mountain God Master was that half of a jade pendant, and it was that half of a jade pendant that rested the Mountain God Master's wrath. Then, things calm for thirty years, who knows in a few months ago, the ground rats a few of them came here, thought that place is a tomb, went in and dug out that half of the jade pendant that was given to the great god of the dragon snake, the god of the mountain, this is surely the wrath of the master, so the old sorcerer this time opened his eyes, the disaster is coming again. Everything, is related to that half of the jade pendant." Second Uncle said.

After saying that, the second uncle looked at me, very strange, I know what he is strange, he does not know the origin of that piece of jade pendant, my old dad said to him is also that this is just a piece of my family heirloom is more valuable jade pendant, gifted Zhuo Anu and Xiu'e grandma also let them as a tray. But this jade pendant has such a wonderful use here?

"Second uncle, your old man don't look at me, my family has that jade pendant thing I also know with you." I said.

Second uncle once again looked at me, did not dwell on this topic, but frowned and said, "This issue I can even now not think about it first, what I am most concerned about now is that Zhuo Anu brought my old lady here for what, why did he want to steal from the Mountain God Master, and how did he know that that half of the jade pendant can make the Mountain God Master rest in peace."

I shrugged my shoulders and said, "To be honest, when I read my grandfather's notes, I also feel that Zhuo Anu is not very normal, and my grandfather have said in his notes a few times that that Zhuo Anu can't be seen through at all, maybe he is just taking advantage of Grandma Xiu'e ……"

Before I could finish my sentence, Second Uncle slammed his fist on the table and cursed, "I'll get that son of a bitch killed sooner or later!"

I hurriedly shut up, for the second uncle, when the birth mother eloped with someone else thing is the scale, absolutely touch it will die. I don't dare to say more, the second uncle walked around the room for a while, said to me: "You and nine two first stay here, I'm going to talk to that witch."

Just as the words fell, the sound of firecrackers exploding rang out outside, I stretched out my head to see, and smiled bitterly at Second Uncle, "Don't go looking for it, that old man sorcerer is right outside."

A few of us went out of the guest house, the scene we saw was still no different from last night, it seemed to be a sacrificial event, only last night the sorcerer sacrificed a few animals, but this time, those people with ghostly masks were actually carrying a person, and under the light of the torches, I saw that it was actually a gopher that had been coated with a strange ointment.

"What's this for? Taking a gopher and sacrificing it?!" I was stunned, although there was nothing good about the gopher, but that was after all a human life wasn't it?

Uncle Two shook his head and called out to the boss's wife who was standing not far from us, "Big sister, what is this for?"

"This boss, I also only learned today, that your friend last time into the mountain, was stealing the mountain god master, this time his death, is the mountain god master's revenge, the sorcerer is now afraid of the mountain god master to take the anger of the villagers, ready to sacrifice this murderer to the mountain god master to beg for forgiveness." The boss's wife said.

I listened to a burst of chills, thought this kind of human sacrifice only ancient times have, now I actually saw with my own eyes, but fortunately this ground rat has died, not with a living sacrifice I can still accept, think carefully, this ground rat can have today, perhaps also is the so-called karma.

We also did not stop, just far behind this sacrifice of the team, want to see this strange sacrifice, the sacrifice of the team has been walking to the location of the village entrance before stopping, carry the body of the people put the body of the gopher in the mountain pass, the sorcerer around the body dancing looking at even inexplicably joyful dance, the mouth chanting, and finally burned a handful of yellow talisman after kneeling down in the distance, yelling: "Seek forgiveness from the mountain god, the murderer has been ambushed, I would like to offer it to the mountain god to eat!"

Although I can accept this grave robber's gopher was sacrificed as livestock, but still thinking how it is also considered all the way along, and so on after the completion of the sacrifice to the body to burn to find a place to bury, this guy is not a good person, but the tragic death of the young has been considered retribution, the dead for the great, how to be in the ground for the rest of the world.

But in that sorcerer shouted three to sacrifice after, suddenly in the mountain pass inside a few black line gushed out, because far away, so do not really see, but like the Journey to the West inside the goblins out of the same black fog.

These black fog drilled into the body of the gopher, and then, in my dumbfounded in the middle of the gopher body lying on the ground, but slowly stood up on their own!

A corpse, at this time stood up, and then also step towards the mountain pass!

I looked at the second uncle and Chen Jiuzi two, they are people who have seen the world, but at this time they are both growing mouths looking at this incredible scene, I was shocked: "Uncle, is it true that there is a mountain god?!"

Second uncle gently nodded his head and frowned: "Locked head village can have yellow skin spirit, here there is snake spirit is not strange, but the goblin called God? I always feel like there's something wrong with this."

The body of the gopher just walked into the mountain, the rest of the people worshiped the mountain god and worshiped the sorcerer, so to speak, in this big mountain deep in the Broken Tail Walled Village, this sorcerer's status can be much more powerful than when He Zhen Zhen Zhen was in the Locked Head Village Er.

Even I feel that this sorcerer is more powerful than He Zhenzhen, blind eyes open once every thirty years, to sacrifice the body of the dragon snake, this is He Zhenzhen can not do things.

It's just that He Zhen Zhen gave me the impression that he was a Taoist priest who got rid of demons and defended the way, whereas when I looked at that sorcerer at the moment, I felt that he was a demonic Taoist, an absolute demonic Taoist.

–We went back to the guest house to eat dinner, the second uncle has been distracted, he said he must find that sorcerer to talk about, I do not feel comfortable with him to go alone to see the demon let Chen Jiuzou follow him, but he did not allow, finally I can only worry about watching him go alone.

Left me with nine two in the room, a time the atmosphere ambiguous and awkward, I saw the weird scene because a little afraid do not want to let her go, find a topic to talk about, I asked her, "nine two, do you believe in ghosts and gods?"

"Believe." He nodded.

"Then what do you think about what happened tonight?" I asked, this is a paranormal event that I have seen with my own eyes, even more mysterious than the yellow skins of the lock-head village.

"Your second uncle is now unstable, I did not dare to tell him, I believe in ghosts and gods, but I feel that there is something fishy about this, that sorcerer has a problem." Jiu Liang said.

"What problem? I said auntie you say ah." I asked.

"- Of course this is a speculation of mine, did you see the medicinal juice that the sorcerer pounded at his house today? According to my speculation, the strange smell emanating from those medicinal juices is the answer to tonight's matter, I don't know what kind of herb it is, but I know that nature is very mysterious, and that there is a certain relationship between animals and plants, and I'm now assuming that those herbs are a kind of herb that can attract the attention of snakes, and then everything is well explained."

"The sorcerer coated the corpse with a flavor that snakes like, and then attracted the snakes to come, so the black mist we saw was actually snakes, it was the snakes that burrowed into the body of the gopher and controlled it, and then moved, and there was a scene of seeing the gopher's corpse in the morning, so you won't feel strange about this situation, right?" Chen Jiuzou asked me.

I could only nod my head when I was surprised by this little girl.

"So the death of the ground mouse was not some snake's revenge, if I didn't guess wrong, it was that scent that was smeared on his body, the strange scent of herbs, it was this that made him lose his life." Chen Jiuzou said.

I have been dumbfounded.
