1484 Sacrifice
Everyone had only seen moths fluttering into the flames, but never imagined that a living person would flutter towards the fire.
Is Shituo scared out of his mind?
Fortunately, Shen Yue had quick hands and eyes. He grabbed Shituo's vest and pulled him back forcefully.
Shi Tuo struggled desperately, looking at the fire as if looking at a monster, and kept saying, "Put it out, put it out!"
Wang Shuangquan shouted from the side, "Shituo, it's me, Shuangquan."
Shi Tuo was startled, and finally saw Wang Shuangquan. He slowly stopped struggling and looked at the people around him, showing confusion.
Wang Shuangquan immediately said: "They are also human beings, not old monsters from Montenegro."
As soon as he heard the words "Old Black Mountain Demon", Shituo immediately became restless and wanted to throw himself towards the fire. Shen Yue did not let go, grabbing Shituo like a chicken, but asked in a deep voice: " Why put out the fire?"
Shi Tuo looked back and was startled again when he saw Shen Yue, but Shen Yue's calmness must have infected him. He finally said: "The old demon from Black Mountain will follow the fire and eat us all when it sees us!"
Some people were scared, some were funny, but Shen Yue still said calmly, "Have you seen the old Black Mountain demon?"
Shituo gave up the struggle, but with sweat on his forehead he said, "I've never seen it before." Then he added, "But my father was eaten by the old monster from Montenegro."
Shen Yue smiled and said, "Don't worry, as long as I'm here, the old Black Mountain demon won't eat people."
Shituo showed an expression of obvious disbelief.
Shen Yue said softly, "I'm just waiting for the old demon from Montenegro!"
Everyone was shocked.
Wanyanlie's eyes lit up. The Heart Karma Stone brought everyone here. Could it be because of the Black Mountain Old Demon? And the Black Mountain Old Demon is related to Shambhala?
He never forgot about Shambhala. Thinking of this, he felt that Shen Yue's calmness made sense - don't believe in rumors, only by truly facing them and solving them can you see the truth.
The muscles on Shituo's face kept twitching, making his face look very strange, "Are you waiting for the old demon from Montenegro? You don't know how powerful the old demon from Montenegro is. You don't know..." He kept mumbling He muttered to himself, obviously looking very scared.
Yang Yao said aside, "You don't know how powerful Mr. Shen who is talking to you is. Don't worry, if you tell us about the Black Mountain old demon, we will kill him and avenge your father. Don't you want to avenge your father?"
Yang Yao's words seemed to inspire some of Shi Tuo's bloody spirit. Shi Tuo's eyes brightened slightly and he murmured, "Avenge your father?"
Upon seeing this, Wanyan Lie said: "The hatred for killing my father is irreconcilable. If you are not a coward, tell us where the old Black Mountain monster is and we will kill him!"
While speaking, Wanyan Lie struck the sand in front of him with his palm.
boom!
After a loud noise, a large pit appeared in the sand.
Wanyan Xiyin's expression suddenly changed. He knew that this old man had great martial arts skills, but he didn't expect him to be so terrifying.
Shi Tuo also looked extremely shocked. After seeing Yan Lie's expression, it was like seeing the old demon from Montenegro.
After a long while, Shituo finally said, "Who are you?"
Wanyan Lie said slowly, "We are the authentic descendants of the Celestial Master Taoist advocate Daoling, and we are responsible for exorcising ghosts and catching monsters. Haven't you heard of the Celestial Master Tao?"
Of course he was just talking nonsense, he just wanted this stone camel to get rid of his fear and tell the truth.
An idiot is far more difficult to convince than a smart person. Don't try to convince an idiot, because you and he are not on the same channel at all. You have to wait until he becomes smarter before you can communicate with him.
Wanyan Lie knew this truth very well, so he simply used confusion to confront delusion and adopted the Tao of the Heavenly Master.
For obsessed people, talking about gods and ghosts can make them "sober".
Shi Tuo really perked up, "So you are from the Celestial Master's Way, no wonder, no wonder." He swallowed his saliva and said excitedly, "The old black mountain demon is a scourge of the Luobu Desert. According to my father, every time he crosses the desert All merchants must bring three animals to sacrifice to the old demon of Montenegro at any time, and at the same time, women are not allowed in the caravan."
Looking at Shiying and Qing'er while speaking, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
Qing'er kept touching her forehead. After all, she was not stupid. After being punished by Wanyan Lie, she didn't dare to ask for trouble. But now that her life was at stake, she couldn't help but ask, "What kind of breaking of the rules is this?"
Shi Tuo said slowly: "This is not a violation of rules, but a rule of doing business here since ancient times. According to what my father said, women belong to Yin, and goblins are also transformed into Yin. The appearance of a woman will trigger the goblin to have a strong desire to kill. "
Shen Yue felt that these superstitious expressions were very familiar, so naturally he didn't believe them, but he still listened patiently.
Shituo continued: "If you encounter traces of the Black Mountain Old Demon during your business trip, as long as you sacrifice three animals, you can use the blood of the animals to neutralize the Black Mountain Demon's murderous intention and protect the safety of the caravan."
Most people knew that Sansheng refers to three kinds of animals: cattle, sheep, and pigs, so they nodded slightly to this.
Because the custom of sacrificing three animals to heaven has been spread among officials and in the world. When people heard that sacrificing three animals to demons, they thought it was normal.
Wanyan Lie sneered, "Ignorance!" After being baptized by modernization and experiencing the strangeness of time travel, he did not believe in gods and ghosts anymore.
Shituo denied: "It's not ignorance, it's true. My father has always acted according to this rule. When he saw the traces of the old monster in Black Mountain, he sacrificed three animals and kept many caravans safe for many years."
"What are the traces of the old Black Mountain demon?" Shen Yue asked.
Shituo pondered, "When the sand around the desert where you are turns red, or the spring water has blood."
Everyone looked at each other, and Yang Yao couldn't help but grab a handful of sand on the ground and look at it, but he couldn't see any red.
"You said the sand will turn red? Instead of seeing red sand?" Shen Yue asked. He knew that the blood in the spring water may be caused by changes in the groundwater. The sand is red, which is a natural geological phenomenon, but the sand turns red. It is difficult to explain it with geological phenomena.
He doesn't believe in ghosts, but he knows there will be monsters.
Weirdness is a manifestation of a completely different normal phenomenon.
When listening to Shituo's narration, he always tried to explain it with scientific principles.
Shi Tuo nodded affirmatively, "That is to say, the sand you are camping on is originally yellow, but when you find that it quietly turns red, it means that the old Black Mountain demon will appear."
Seeing that what Shi Tuo said was true, Wanyan Lie frowned, apparently also pondering the mystery behind it.
"Then you kill three animals and sacrifice them to the old demon of Montenegro."
Shen Yue said thoughtfully, "And then everything will be fine?"
Shi Tuo nodded seriously again, "That's it."
"But your father was still eaten by the old Black Mountain demon." Shen Yue asked.
Shituo clenched his fists bitterly and said, "This is all to blame for a wealthy businessman in his caravan. That wealthy businessman was a wealthy man from the Western Regions. He went to Xingqing Mansion to do business. Knowing that my father was an extremely good guide, he paid a lot of money to let my father lead the way. My father told me The wealthy businessman seemed to obey his taboo about the old demon from Montenegro, but... there were two men beside him, who were actually just like women."
What is the difference between two men and a woman?
Most of the people understood this time.
