The four tall men put down the flat pole, quickly dismantled the rope on the big clay pot, tore off the rune paper of the big clay pot, and carefully stored it, before bowing slightly to the two master talismans and quickly retreating from the round altar.

Both talismans took out a folded yellow paper talisman from their pockets, and they slowly opened the talisman paper, which was no more than three fingers wide, but the talisman paper in their hands was six fingers wide and a foot long when opened.

They glanced at each other, and they both crouched down, the rune paper in their hands slapped against the slate.

The paper rune began to emit a faint yellow glow, and pale yellow lines as thick as little fingers spread out of the rune paper, crawling along the gray stone floor.

Zhou Fan's pupils contracted, and he felt extremely ridiculous as he watched the runes crawling with the runes that could not be explained by the knowledge system of modern society.

The pale yellow runes of the two runes continued to fan out, and soon enveloped the entire round jar, and finally converged in the center of the round altar and climbed up to the large tile jar, which was crawling with dense rune lines.

Click!

Cracks appeared on the tile surface of the large clay tank.

With a bang, the clay jar shattered, a crimson liquid flowed out, and a pungent fishy smell permeated the surroundings of the altar.

Zhou Fan smelled this rich fishy smell, and he quickly reacted, this is definitely the smell of blood!

The strange thing is that the blood did not spread irregularly after it landed, but was quickly absorbed by the spreading runes.

The criss-crossed runes on the altar were completely dyed red, emitting a breathtaking glow of blood.

If you look down from the sky, you can see that these blood lines seem to be crooked, but when viewed as a whole, they are a huge incantation.

The rune paper in the hands of the two talismans had burned out, turning into black smoke and ashes and dissipating, and a trace of exhaustion appeared between their eyebrows.

The talisman standing on the east side glanced at the bottom of the altar and said, "Let all the children who can tie their hair come up." ”

As the master spoke, young men and women began to tremble and walk up to the altar.

Zhou Zhou Mu turned to look at Zhou Fan and said, "Go up, Master Fu will do whatever you tell you to do." ”

Zhou Fan nodded and walked towards the round altar, in fact, he was a little uneasy in his heart, because the scene in front of him was very similar to the blood sacrifice mentioned in the book, and he was a little worried that he would be sacrificed.

However, Zhou Fan thought about it again, it shouldn't be a sacrifice, otherwise the families of these children would never behave like this.

After Zhou Fan's heart settled down a lot, he had already stepped on the altar, looking at the runes that seemed to be swimming under his feet, and a strange feeling gradually came to Zhou Fan's heart.

"Afan. The thin monkey also walked up, he stood beside Zhou Fan, and his teeth chattered a little as he spoke.

Zhou Fan patted him on the shoulder, telling the thin monkey not to be afraid, in fact, Zhou Fan still didn't understand why the thin monkey was so worried, what was hidden in this hair binding ceremony?

There were only about twenty people who participated in the hair binding ceremony, and they all stood in a row, many of them with uneasy expressions on their faces, their eyes rolling around, and they looked at the two talismans.

The two talisman masters, who looked to be in their eighties, walked over, they just glanced at the young people, and one of them said, "Are you all together?"

Standing in the audience, Muramasa Luo Ritian hurriedly responded with a smile: "A total of 28 people participated this year, all of them are here, and there are no absences." ”

Both talismans nodded, and the shorter talismans shouted in a thick voice, "Now listen to me, the man takes off his shirt, and the woman takes off the shoe on her right foot and rolls up her trousers." ”

The twenty-eight peers who participated in the ceremony immediately took action, and Zhou Fan did the same, taking off his shirt, revealing a fairly sturdy upper body, and the thin monkey next to him was a body of ribs.

The girls also took off their right shoes, and rolled their trousers high, revealing their little white legs.

The villagers under the altar watched with bated breath, knowing that the moment would come to affect the future of these twenty-eight people.

After everyone on the altar did what the talisman said, the tall talisman put his hands together and formed a mudra.

At the moment when the handprint was completed, the rune that was already emitting a faint blood light suddenly burst out with a dazzling red light.

The rune began to shrink towards the twenty-eight people, and Zhou Fan felt a burning sensation from the soles of their feet, as if they had stepped on a soldering iron.

Many people even want to raise their feet to avoid the scorching heat.

It's just that the short talisman scolded: "Don't move." ”

The short talisman master's serious voice came, and everyone didn't dare to move anymore, but fortunately, this kind of scorching heat was not really unbearable, and Zhou Fan and they all endured it.

Zhou Fan could clearly feel the scorching heat spreading along the soles of his feet to his upper body, and his whole body seemed to be burning, especially what was special was that Zhou Fan's nose smelled a stronger and stronger smell of blood.

This feeling lasted for a short time, and the heat quickly dissipated from the limbs, except for the burning sensation in the heart socket.

Zhou Fan hurriedly looked down at his heart, he was shocked to find that his heart socket burned out of a gray ring, in the center of this ring, slowly emerged blood-red handwriting, the handwriting was blurry at first, but soon became clear.

"Nineteen. Zhou Fan looked at the blood-red number on his heart, he was stunned, and then looked at the thin monkey beside him.

The thin monkey's face was very pale, and he stared blankly at his heart, which also had a blood-colored number on the skinny monkey's heart, which was thirty-two!

Zhou Fan looked away and looked at the girls again, and he found that there was a gray ring on the right leg and stomach of those girls, and the blood-red numbers displayed in the ring were of different sizes.

After the initial shock, some people showed a look of despair on their faces, some girls even covered their faces and wept, and some laughed with joy on their faces.

Zhou Fan found that those who showed sad expressions were all small blood-colored numbers, such as twenty or thirty, thirty or forty, and those with smiling faces were those with large blood-colored numbers, some were seventy or eighty, and some even reached hundreds, of which the largest number was one hundred and ten!

Zhou Fan hadn't seen anyone smaller than him for the time being, and he felt bad in his heart, and that heart sank straight down.

The parents of the children under the altar also walked a few steps closer to the altar, staring at the blood-colored numbers on their children's bodies, their faces also full of joy and sorrow.

Zhou Zhou Mu and Gui Feng in the audience also saw the blood-colored numbers in Zhou Fan's heart clearly, Zhou Zhou Mu closed his eyes in a dejected manner, and Gui Feng's eyes were red, and he was almost about to cry.

Zhou Fan saw all this in his eyes, he frowned, he knew that the number nineteen in his heart must be very bad, the largest one hundred and ten, the small one seems to be his number nineteen, is it age?

But in this world, he is obviously only fifteen years old, what does it have to do with nineteen?

Or does it imply what will happen to him when he is nineteen?

"Muramasa, don't hurry up and do a good job of registration. The tall talisman waited for the teenagers to relax a lot, and then he slowly shouted out to Muramasa.

Luo Litian answered, and walked up quickly, he took out a blue booklet, and quickly recorded it with the brush in his hand, and completed the recording work in a short time.
