However, every ten years, after the female snake lays the eggs, she will fall into a weak zone for a long time.
Before the snake egg hatches, it cannot sleep to slowly replenish energy!
At this time, it needs to eat to maintain itself.
The ancient town holds a sacrifice every ten years, which actually happens to be the period when the female snake lays eggs!
The old man also said that every ten years, they would sacrifice three animals or five animals.
In fact, after every sacrifice, those things were brought here by the male snake for the weak female snake to eat!
The giant snakes already have a certain degree of wisdom. After they have food, they will naturally not disturb the residents of the ancient town.
This is why the old man in the town said that offering sacrifices to gods can ensure peace!
They regard the giant snakes on the island as so-called gods, so this is indeed true!
After Zhao Han controlled the giant snake, he actually already knew that a few days ago, the male snake had visited the ancient town several times at night and dragged away the livestock raised by the residents of the town.
In fact, it is precisely because there were no sacrifices in the ancient town this year (no food was sent to them).
On this island, because of their aura, except for their descendants who don’t know how many generations live there, there are almost no other larger animals!
The two-day giant snake has a certain degree of intelligence, so it is impossible to say that it treats other snakes on the island as food.
That's why the giant snake entered the ancient town, dragged away the livestock they raised, and returned it to the weak female snake as food!
Although the giant snake came at night, it did not hurt anyone, but such a big snake made a lot of noise!
But it's too fast and others can't catch it, which naturally frightens those in the ancient town!
It’s really because of the giant snake’s actions that people in the ancient town close their doors at night!
This is also why when Zhao Han entered the ancient town before, those people did not dare to come out when they heard the noise outside, and even turned out their lights.
A lot of doubts have been solved.
According to the old man in the ancient town, the Feng Shui master surnamed Wu told them about the sacrifices that are held every ten years in the ancient town!
Now it seems that the other party does have some real abilities!
But yes, even though it was said to be more than two hundred years ago, if a person who can serve in the Four Heavenly Terraces and serve the royal family has no real ability, it is indeed unjustifiable!
Regarding what happened that year, Zhao Han happened to have a little bit of information from the two giant snakes.
Back then, a Feng Shui master named Wu came to investigate and found this island in the middle of the river!
As a Feng Shui master, you are naturally proficient in Feng Shui, geography, astronomy, geology and other things.
He found this underground space.
At that time, the female snake had just laid eggs, and the male snake went out to find food for them!
With the skills of the Feng Shui Master named Wu, he could actually deal with the female snake who was extremely weak at that time.
However, he doesn’t have that much!
At that time, the dragon was revered.
The emperor was made a holy dragon.
In people's minds, the giant snake is just a young dragon.
The giant snake sheds its skin, which is called the dragon shedding its armor.
When you see a dragon taking off its armor, you should sincerely worship it.
When the Feng Shui master named Wu saw the giant snake in the underground space, he naturally thought it was a so-called baby dragon.
It was precisely because he did not do any harm that the giant snake that came back from looking for food did not harm him.
Relying on his own hard skills, the Feng Shui master named Wu also saw some accurate things.
After leaving, he returned to the palace to report.
Although the emperor at that time called himself the Holy Dragon, he was still somewhat clear about many things!
Naturally, they attach great importance to the so-called young dragons.
Then, a Feng Shui master named Wu led people here and built this ancient town!
In fact, the material used to build the ancient town was a sulfur-containing ore specially found by the Feng Shui master!
Some of the substances in this ore are actually the same as realgar!
A Feng Shui master surnamed Wu once visited this island in the middle of the lake, and naturally knew that there were many snakes on and around it!
These ordinary snakes don't have much intelligence.
In fact, many of those people from Shili and Baxiang died because they were bitten by those snakes when they were near here!
After an ancient town was built using that sulfur-containing ore, snakes hated the substance in the ore that was similar to realgar, and naturally instinctively refused to go near the ancient town!
Residents from all over the country have gathered to live in the ancient town!
They don’t understand the scientific principles behind this, but living in an ancient town, they will indeed never encounter snakes nearby again!
Therefore, they naturally believe in the so-called saying that the holy dragon bestows the name and the powerful immortal!
In the old days, snakes were always called Liu Daxian.
Although many of these are considered as a means of fooling the people to stabilize themselves, the construction of Zhenxian Ancient Town is indeed a thing that benefits the people here!
With this ancient town, as long as people don't go particularly close to the island, they will naturally not be threatened by snakes as before.
The Feng Shui master named Wu had come into contact with these two giant snakes, or, in his opinion, they were two young dragons.
With some of his own skills, he also knew that two giant snakes give birth to offspring every ten years.
After calculating the time, the Feng Shui master surnamed Wu told the people in the ancient town that every ten years, during the autumn white period, they should sacrifice three animals and five animals to the gods ten miles west of the ancient town to ensure peace.
People at that time naturally believed in his words.
And the time he told the people in the ancient town was indeed the time when the giant snake fell into weakness after laying eggs and needed to eat to replenish energy!
With the food offered as sacrifices (gifts) by people in the ancient town, the giant snake will naturally not go back to the ancient town to look for food.
The substance contained in the ore used to build the ancient town is very useful to ordinary snakes, but it is naturally of no use to these two giant snakes!
From then on, there was a sacred mountain here, and there were gods guarding the dragon veins on the sacred mountain. This saying has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in the ancient town!
From generation to generation, the people of the ancient town have always believed in this statement and have maintained the sacrifice once every ten years!
Naturally, from generation to generation, these two giant snakes have always existed, and everything in the ancient town is peaceful!
Zhao Han already knew that in fact, most of the time, these two giant snakes slept in this underground space.
They only become active every ten years when they give birth to offspring.
Probably, the fact that they can live for such a long time has a lot to do with the fact that they spend most of their time sleeping in such an energy-rich place!
Zhao Han finally understood many of these things and solved the curiosity in his heart.
