Chapter 76

"What do you mean by offering sacrifices?" Mao Yinghou asked in surprise.

Professor Fu frowned with a serious expression. Obviously, these two words made him have a bad association.

Xin Guang guessed: "I know that many places have the custom of offering sacrifices during festivals, so this offering should be related to offering sacrifices, right?"

"But what he said is that he wants to arrest outsiders and sacrifice them?" An Qi asked with wide eyes, "Why do you want to arrest outsiders?"

The small village official's face contorted for a moment, his eyes flickered, and it took a long time for his lips to move: "No, I didn't... I don't know either."

Jing Cheng murmured, "If I'm not mistaken, the sacrifice should be similar to the ancient 'Hebo marrying a wife', where a living person is used to sacrifice. If this is the case, then it will be troublesome."

"What?" Xin Guang asked in surprise, "Sacrifice by living people? What does this mean?"

When everyone heard the words, they all looked at Jing Cheng.

The village official grasped the light ring tightly in his hand, and the expression on his face became even more tense.

Seeing that everyone was confused, Jing Cheng sorted out his thoughts and shared them with everyone.

"Hebo Marries a Wife" is familiar to everyone. We have learned it in elementary school textbooks. It is an evil deception created by the collusion between officials and witches, which is ignorant and cruel.

Since ancient times, human beings have liked to "create gods", especially the ancient ruling class, preferring to use these gods and ghosts to consolidate their dominance.

All kinds of uncommon celestial phenomena can be associated with the Lord of Heaven. If there is an earthquake, flood, or solar eclipse, the emperor will issue a "crime edict" as soon as possible, and announce it to the world, as if this can avoid a bigger disaster.disaster.

There are countless sacrifices by living people, and burial is the most common and acceptable to the general public. The most famous one is the "Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Dynasty".

Then there is "building piles", this is the point of view put forward by Master Lu Ban, "breaking the ground" means "moving feng shui", and changing feng shui will destroy the local ecological environment, cause bad effects, and cause disasters, so heIt is proposed to use the method of "living piles" to prevent more people from dying.

The so-called "living piling" is actually the sacrifice of living people.

So there will be so many "living people's sacrifice bridges", "living people's sacrifice roads" in the future, and "you don't see the Great Wall under the Great Wall, but the bones of the dead are supporting each other" caused by the construction of the Great Wall. The legendary Meng Jiangnu cried The Great Wall isBecause her husband was buried alive under the Great Wall, he became one of the many sacrificers.

It is precisely because this method is too cruel and dehumanizes that the "Luban Jing" was finally sealed as a forbidden technique.

Speaking of this, Jing Cheng suddenly discovered that he seemed to have been dealing with "Lubanshu" since he came to this world.

First, the disgusting curse "Puppet Wearing Filial Piety" suffered by Mr. Xu, then the "curse talisman" that caused great harm to Jieyou Shop, and then the "doll coffin" aimed at him... Now it is "living sacrifice", as ifSomewhere, an invisible hand is pushing him to find the "person" behind the scenes.

——If there is such a person.

He had a hunch that the "Unbelievable Travel" he accidentally participated in this time might be able to solve his confusion.

After listening to his explanation, everyone was stunned for a while, and they didn't come back to their senses for a while.

After they figured it out, they felt creepy again.

"Living sacrifice..." An Qi said with trembling lips, "This is unlikely. Mr. Zhang, please tell me if this is true..."

The village official looked at Director Zhao, hesitated, and said, "Actually, I don't know too well. Aren't you guys going to record a show? Come with me first."

Everyone in the program group: "..."

You don't know why you still scare us?People who cheat don't take such tricks.

Director Zhao pondered for a moment, then suddenly said: "You told me before that you had already greeted the villagers, so we came here openly, but when we arrived in the afternoon, you said that the villagers were xenophobic and asked everyone to hide their identitiesMixed in... You should understand that you have already breached the contract, do you remember the liquidated damages?"

Xiaocun official: "..." Of course he remembered, it was a sum that he would not be able to pay off even if he sold him.

Speaking of this, Zhao Yi's expression was not very good: "We are here to film a reality show, not a social news reporter who came undercover to find out the news. Reality shows, you know? What is needed is interaction! The villagers refused to interact with us,How is this show going to be filmed?"

The village official lowered his head in shame.

"Look at the people we have here: top-notch, actresses, actresses, university professors... and so many behind-the-scenes staff, burning money every minute! If this show can't be filmed steadily, thenEveryone has been doing useless work for so many days! Can you afford it?"

The village official lowered his head and murmured: "I'm really sorry, I didn't think carefully... I don't want the reward, do you think it's okay?"

Zhao Yi's face turned pale, and he softened his tone and said, "It's good that you understand, but Mr. Zhang is indispensable for the normal recording of the program. After we leave here, I will not miss your reward."

The village official's face turned red with a "whoosh", and he quickly waved his hands and said, "No, no, no..."

He was very guilty at this moment, so he dared to ask for a reward?

Xiao Qu quietly moved to Zhao Yi's side and whispered: "Director, let's not go?"

Zhao Yi glared at him: "Are you a tiger? We're all here, of course we have to shoot!"

"But... Listen to what he said just now, it's about the sacrifice of living people, I'm so scared, if something happened to the photographer last time, wouldn't our show be completely over??”

"You forgot! We have Daoist Jing! Even if it's a dragon's pond and a tiger's lair this time, we have to go!"

Director Zhao raised his chin and said in an unquestionable tone: "Mr. Zhang! Lead the way!"

The village official looked around at the people with different expressions on his face, and said softly, "I have already prepared the house, please come with me."

It was already past eight o'clock in the evening, and the sky was completely dark, with no bright colors to be seen anymore.

Under the dark clouds, the old locust tree stands silently at the entrance of Bijia Village.

It seems to be a dividing line with the outside world. Inside are old rough houses and unrepaired dirt roads, but outside are rich and beautiful buildings and busy traffic.

Like two worlds.

When everyone in the program team stepped into this land, their brilliance further set off the antiquity and decay of Bijia Village.

The village official held a lamp and silently led the way for everyone in the program group.

In late autumn, the dew is thick and the air is humid.

There are many trees planted in the village. Under the blowing of the evening wind, the leaves rustle, and a green and astringent aroma of nature lingers.

Someone took a deep breath and whispered admiration: "The air here is really good, suitable for retirement."

"How old are you, and you want to retire? In such a remote village, there is not even a supermarket nearby, and the express delivery may not be willing to deliver."

"I'm just talking, are you serious?"

There are no street lights in the village, and the surroundings are pitch black. Looking around, only a few houses are still lit, and there are occasional dogs barking.

The villagers seemed to go to bed early, and the road was very quiet, and no one came out.

Jing Cheng can use night vision, and took the opportunity to look at the surrounding environment.

The atmosphere here is very good. The arrangement of trees and the construction of houses seem to have been guided by professionals, and the layout is quite clever.

So much so that the aura here exudes vitality.

No wonder the air here is fresh and the vegetation is lush.

Even the barking of dogs is much clearer than the sound of dogs outside (…).

He had doubts in his heart, if under the influence of such a feng shui layout, Bijia Village shouldn't be so closed and backward, why would there be such a contradictory result?

He was thinking about the problem while walking, and he didn't look at the road, as he was about to step into the big pit in front of him.

Seeing this scene, Qin Yan grabbed him quickly and said, "What are you thinking about? I'm absent-minded."

Jing Cheng was caught off guard by him and staggered, almost fell on the ground, and the zipper of his jacket was unzipped a little.

He stabilized his figure, looked down at the big pit in front of him, seemed to think of something, and was stunned.

Seeing that he was in a trance as if he hadn't heard his question, Qin Yan helped him zip up his jacket helplessly: "Hey! You're back to your senses."

The sound of the zipper rubbing woke up Jing Cheng's sanity.

He looked carefully at the big pit under his feet again, and frowned deeply.

"What's wrong with Chengzi?" Fu Le leaned over and asked.

Qin Yan frowned and looked over, he felt that something was wrong with Jing Cheng.

Just when Qin Yan thought he would not answer, Jing Cheng said, "I was thinking, I didn't come in vain this time."

Fu Le: "???"

Of course you didn't come in vain, 2.4 million!

Jing Cheng turned his head to look at the village ahead with a serious expression.

In front of him was the darkness that could not be seen, as if it was just a normal night.

But he knew that there was a hunter hidden there.

There is a pair of evil eyes watching everyone in this village.

...

After walking for an unknown amount of time, the village official stopped and raised his hand.

"Squeak—"

After a long sound of pushing the door, Yang Hong and An Qi, who were walking in the front, were covered in head and face by the dust on the eaves of the door.

"Cough cough cough cough..."

"Ahem... what the hell is this! So much dust!"

Yang Hong used his hands as a fan, and kept waving his hands to dust off the dust in front of his eyes: "Isn't this a place for us to live?"

An Qi was shocked when she heard this: "What? Can people live in this place?"

"I'm so sorry!" The village official bowed his head for the first time and apologized shamelessly, "Because this house is the only empty house in the village, and no one has lived in it for a long time, so the dust is heavier."

Zhao Yi was the first to go in with a flashlight, followed by Jing Cheng and Professor Fu, and the rest followed the three.

They looked at the environment inside, and found that the space inside the house was quite large, and there were several vacant rooms, with large beds, kangs, sofas, and some simple wooden furniture.

However, it is a square after all, with such a dense group of people coming in, no matter how large the space is, it will be squeezed into a narrow space.

The small village official felt the wall and walked in. He found a thread, and he dragged it down hard.

There was only a "click", and the room was brightly lit.

Everyone was stunned by the sudden light, squinting their eyes for a while before reacting and looking at the indoor environment.

Except for some dust accumulated over the years, the interior of the house is relatively clean.

"It's better than I imagined." Xin Guang nodded, "It's just a farmhouse experience."

Shadow Queen Mao rolled up her sleeves, and quickly looked for the broom and dustpan: "Let's clean the room first, I think I'll be busy tonight."

Professor Fu picked up the mop and turned around to look around: "Where is the water?"

A female staff member said: "I just saw a well in the yard...Professor Fu, please let it go, Xiao Wang and I will go fetch water."

An Qi frowned in disgust, and walked in slowly: "Since you know we're coming, why don't you tidy up in advance."

The village official blushed, pushed his glasses and said, "Sorry, I forgot."

An Qi rolled her eyes: "...you should stop apologizing, be brave enough to apologize and never repent. I understand the urination of straight men."

The village official scratched his scalp and said in a low voice, "My house is nearby. I have prepared some quilts for you, and I will bring them to you right away."

As he said that, he turned around and was about to leave, but Jing Cheng stopped him with quick eyes and hands, and said with a smile: "Shall I go with you? I happen to have something to talk to you about."

The village official was slightly taken aback.

The author has something to say:

There is something wrong with my fingers recently, which affects the speed of code words, which makes me update more and more late, I am really sorry _(:з」∠)_
