Chapter 138: Sacrifice
"You guys will be my thugs for a few days!" Wang Fei suddenly laughed.
When Ji Fan heard this, he turned around and left with Qin Yue'er.
"Hey! Why are you leaving?" Wang Fei picked up the cloth bag used as a pillow on the ground and caught up with Ji Fan.
"What we want is just a piece of news, it's not worth it!" Ji Fan turned around.
The two of them crossed Wang Fei and walked onto the fine stone road. There is a stone road here, indicating that there are people living nearby.
The joy dissipated the unhappiness just now. Ji Fan and Qin Yue'er did not take Wang Fei seriously at all. They just felt that they had met a little scoundrel, and he was a little scoundrel who could not defeat the local snake without any thugs.
Ji Fan and Qin Yue'er walked along the gravel road. At the end of the gravel road, Ji Fan saw a village made of bamboo. In order to adapt to the humid environment, the people here had to pile bamboo buildings high.
.
The setting sun illuminates the village through the dense forest. Everything is so quiet and beautiful.
This was the first time Ji Fan saw the sun in these days.
"You two from afar! Come in and have a rest!" An old man wearing a skull mask stood under the bamboo plaque, as if he was deliberately waiting for them.
He clapped his hands, and dozens of masked villagers came out.
"We are holding another three-day Moon Goddess Festival here. You two came at the right time!" The village chief led Ji Fan into the village and introduced with a smile.
The girls in the village who had been waiting for a long time rushed forward, carrying buckets with clean water in their hands.
Following the instructions of the village chief, they gathered around Ji Fan and Qin Yue'er, bringing wet cloths up to wipe their muddy shoes.
Ji Fan saw this battle and was about to refuse, but Qin Yue'er held her shoulders and secretly called him.
"The Moon God is the incarnation of holiness, and the village chief does not allow us to participate in the sacrifice like this!"
Ji Fan glanced at her, a little confused, but did not refuse.
A woman wearing a dark red mask gently wiped the soles of Ji Fan's shoes. The moment she looked up, Ji Fan saw those eyes, with a light red color under them.
Ji Fan nodded and smiled softly, conveying his goodwill.
Suddenly, Ji Fan felt something strange, and his body trembled suddenly. He wanted to retreat, but he bumped into Yue'er beside him!
"What's wrong?"
"No...it's okay!"
He didn't understand why the other party suddenly pinched his instep.
Ji Fan turned his head and looked at the woman in front of him again, but she had already hidden among a group of girls and left quickly.
"Did Young Master fall in love with any girl?" the village chief suddenly laughed. His sophisticated eyes caught Ji Fan's gaze that had been falling on the group of girls.
"That's not the case." Ji Fan smiled slightly, "I'm just curious about the customs here!"
The village chief smiled slightly, indicating that he approved Ji Fan's explanation.
"Village Chief, I would like to ask, have you ever heard of Huanyue Cliff?"
"Huanyue Cliff?" The village chief was silent for a moment, then shook his head. "I have never heard of this place! May I ask, where did you two hear this name? And why did you find our Moon God Village?"
"We can't tell you the details. This is the first time I've heard of this place. If the village chief doesn't know about this place, we must be looking for the wrong way!" Ji Fan said.
Ji Fan still had some questions to ask. At this time, a crackling sound suddenly came from the distance.
In the square in the center of the village, around the stone platform with tall pillars, stacks of firewood were lit, making the whole village even brighter!
"Please protect yourselves, the Moon God Festival has begun. If you don't mind, you can stay in the village for a few days and get a feel for the customs here! Then we can go find where you want to go." The village chief smiled and suddenly
Step back and let the two women behind you come forward.
"Then thank the village chief." Before Ji Fan could speak, Qin Yue'er spoke first. She took out some exquisite weapons and brocades from her storage bag and handed them to the two women.
They bowed slightly, took it, and then walked in front, leading Ji Fan and the others through the villagers towards a bamboo house built around a tree.
"Ji Fan, look over there!" Qin Yue'er suddenly pointed to the square at the end of the street.
Standing at this position, Ji Fan's sight could just radiate to the entire square.
On a full-moon night, the moonlight shone through the gaps between the branches and leaves and shone on the half-naked man. The village chief appeared beside the man at some unknown time. He held a heavy book in his left hand and touched the man's head with his right hand. At the same time, his mouth
There was a strange language being uttered.
Judging from the man's appearance and the long boots and trousers on his lower body, it was judged that he was a standard Sixteen Province cultivator. The knotted muscles on his upper body were covered with scars, some of which were so obvious that Ji Fan had to wonder if they were his.
The muscles were cut open.
However, the surrounding villagers did not think the man's body was ugly. Instead, they stared at the field with eager eyes and eager faces.
"The Moon God Festival begins!" the village chief shouted.
The villagers stepped rhythmically around the altar. They also said things that Ji Fan couldn't understand. If you listened carefully, they seemed to be just murmuring with their heads down.
The next moment, something strange happened. Ji Fan even thought that he had seen it wrong. However, as the spiritual energy around him was pouring into the center of the altar, he knew that it was not an illusion.
The moon above the head is getting brighter and brighter, and the man in the center of the altar seems to be inlaid with crystal diamonds, reflecting the moonlight in all directions.
The next moment, the scars under his skin seemed to come alive, swimming out of his skin bit by bit.
Soon, the man's skin broke away from its previous state and became crystal clear like a treasure. The village chief had left the altar. The man closed his eyes tightly and stood up. He opened his hands and enjoyed what the Moon God gave him wantonly.
of gifts.
His cultivation has been rising steadily, and he has reached the late stage of the Spiritual Rain Realm! But... the spiritual power in this forest is still too scarce, and the surrounding spiritual power has become so thin that he cannot extract it.
It will take a long time for the spiritual power from a distance to flow over.
A man’s desire to reach the spiritual sea realm will most likely fail!
But at this moment, something strange happened. The man suddenly discovered that the beam of moonlight above his head disappeared. Everyone looked up. They couldn't figure out at the first time what was covering this night without any dark clouds.
The moonlight.
"That's..." Ji Fan took a closer look.
On a high branch, a man hugged a large uprooted tree and shook it vigorously.
Although the guy had his face covered and was wearing night clothes, Ji Fan recognized the bags hanging on his body at a glance!
"It's that guy during the day!" Qin Yue'er said in Ji Fan's ear.
Although he didn't know why this guy wanted to destroy this sacrifice, Ji Fan could guess that the request he made today must be related to destroying this sacrifice!
"What does this guy want to do?" Ji Fan's mind was full of questions.
In the center of the altar, the man suddenly vomited out a mouthful of blood. He raised his head and stared at Wang Fei with a face filled with resentment.
Wang Fei waved the thick trees vigorously, and the dancing shadows of the trees shattered the moonlight on the ground into pieces.
