Chapter 356: Sacrifice
There is a psychic half-hanger in the village, who communicates with the snake spirit, and finally knows the beginning and end of the matter. "Co*music*words*love*first*hair(http://www.klxsw.com

Because of this, everyone in the village owes Zhang Ru a favor.
Lu Ting and I were taken aback, I didn't expect that the story of Xiban Village would have such an extension, Queen Sun's dream was true, everything really happened, what dragon vein, what kind of bamboo borrowing. It's too much like a legend, but whether it's true or not, we can only doubt it now.
According to the head of Chai Village, the father and son surnamed Zhao became a cockscomb snake after vomiting blood and died, to avenge Zhang Dashuai for preventing him from turning into a dragon, but there was one character missing, that is, Mr. Hao.
I remember Empress Sun saying that it was because of Mr. Hao's bad behavior that the father and son surnamed Zhao had an experience.
I asked suspiciously, "I have also heard about the experience of this story, but it seems that there is one missing character, Mr. Hao."
The head of Chai Village was surprised: "You know who said it, alas, speaking of that Mr. Hao, he is also a character, everything happened because of him, but he got away with it." It is said that after Mr. Hao knew that the digging of the dragon vein was not going well, he decided what would happen later.
Therefore, he killed his wife and children in advance, and committed suicide, I don't know how to erase the breath of his soul, so that the cockscomb snake could not find him, but I heard that he had a handful of hair the size of a copper coin left over from his life. It's something he can't erase. ”
The village chief of Chai sighed and said: "In the past hundred years, we have not resisted, when we know that sulfur can block the cockscomb snake, sulfur has become a necessary thing for the villagers of Snake Village, you can have no food, but you must not be without sulfur." After accumulating enough sulfur, we launched an attack on the cockscomb snakes, drove the cockscomb snakes into the deep mountains and old caves, and killed most of the cockscomb snakes, but it only took two months for them to make a comeback, and if it wasn't for the Zhang family's flowering cinnamon bamboo festival, there would have been no snake village at that time. ”
At that time, nine-tenths of the people in Snake Village died, and it took a full 60 years to restore to today's village of 100 mouths.
And if we don't come, tonight's full moon night will be the day when Zhang Ru will be sacrificed, and she will be the last person in the Zhang family. is an orphan, and the congenital deficiency disease is really a bit similar to Lin Daiyu, although I feel guilty about Snake Village, but when I think of poor Zhang Ru, I feel that everything should be like this.
I asked about the ritual of sacrifice, my mind was churning, thinking about how to deal with it, and when I looked sideways, Lu Ting was also pondering, while gently playing with Zhang Ru's hair, my heart was full of sympathy.
I thought for a while and said: "I think this matter has to find the father and son surnamed Zhao, dealing with these cockscomb snakes is a symptom but not a cure, as long as the father and son surnamed Zhao are killed, it will be solved."
Lu Ting pondered my words, and said after a while: "You mean, like a movie tearing people, the creatures inside are controlled by the mother, as long as the mother body is eliminated, the other individuals will die."
I said, "I'm just guessing, but I think the cockscomb snake is different from the creature inside the tearing man, and I think the father and son surnamed Zhao just passed on the endless hatred to the cockscomb snake to influence the cockscomb snake's behavior, rather than controlling the soul body together like the cockscomb snake." ”
Lu Ting said: "In that case, we still can't finish destroying the cockscomb snake."
I nodded and said, "But it doesn't matter, if you lose the control of the father and son, they will turn back into ordinary creatures, it's just how to find the father and son."
Zhang Ru propped up his somewhat pointed chin and said: "Brother Xiao Zhang is very reasonable, I think so too, as for how to find the Zhao father and son, I think that I can use me as bait I was sacrificed, and after all, I will be sent to the Zhao family and my son, as long as you follow me, you can find their lair." ”
"No, this won't work," I interrupted, "it's too dangerous"
Zhang Ru coughed twice, the beauty is like this, even the cough is good, she covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and said with a flushed face: "Little Brother Zhang, do you have a better way?"
Chief Chai interjected: "It's a big deal, let's fight with those beasts"
Of course, this is a matter of will, is it meaningful to spell I said: "Don't rush to make a decision yet, let's think about whether there is any other way"
Zhang Ru sighed and said: "There will be no other way, this method is the most effective, even if the father and son surnamed Zhao can use their minds to probe the thoughts of these cockscomb snakes, then they will never need to touch, only when they want to sacrifice, they will personally send me to the Zhao family and son, this is the only chance"
"But, you're too dangerous," I was shaken by Zhang Ru's words, but I still couldn't make that decision.
Zhang Ru laughed miserably, looked at himself and said: "Little Brother Zhang, I have congenital deficiency, from childhood to adulthood, one day I am not in illness, I have long lived enough, and I have long looked down on the matter of life and death, how to live, how to die, if I can save the people of Snake Village, I am willing to die ten thousand times, speaking of which, it is also our Zhang family who owes them, if we don't dig the dragon vein, how can there be today's disaster."
Lu Ting held Zhang Ru's cold hand and said: "Xiaoru, don't be so pessimistic, there is hope if you don't die, it's too dangerous for you to do this, let's think of other ways"
At this moment, the son of the head of the village ran in and shouted, "Dad, it's not good, it's not good, the snake is going to take the ladder to come in."
"What" we were all taken aback, and hurriedly walked to the window, and saw that in the circle surrounded by sulfur, there was a snake tail swept on the ground, jumping into the circle, the barrier formed by sulfur was nearly three meters, and the cockscomb snake jumped out of more than a meter and fell into the sulfur, and the scales of the snake's body were suddenly scorched, squeaking and smoking. The snake writhed. but he refused to leave.
Immediately after that, more than a dozen cockscomb snakes jumped into the brimstone and built a snake bridge, and the rest of the snakes began to climb over the snake bridge, scurry into the sulfur circle, and swam towards the village chief's house.
The village chief was stunned for a while, not knowing how to deal with it, Lu Ting took out the cinnamon bamboo knots and volunteered: "I'll go get rid of them"
Zhang Ru grabbed her and said, "Sister Xiaolu, don't, they are here to pick me up"
Hearing this, we were all stunned, looking up at the window, the full moon rose, the bright moon was shining, and the sacrifice was made, was it time to sacrifice?
Wei is here to wish everyone a happy New Year and all the best. Drink two glasses less, just the meaning, emotional iron drink blood is, I have always been for such friends, brother is like this, you can play cards at will, but don't play too big, win or lose hundreds will not care, if it is tens of thousands, either you have a bad year, or someone else has a bad year, there is no need.
