Chapter 97
Holding half a spring roll in his hand, Yan Jing sat alone at the bottom of the stairs, looking at the busy townspeople in the restaurant.
The other three people were lying in wait outside the inn, waiting for He Bo to show up.
As time went by, the dishes at the banquet in the restaurant lobby became visibly richer. The old man who took the lead was worshiping the Sandu Buddha for the third time.
So far, there have been no strange intruders into the restaurant, and the atmosphere inside the house is lively and festive.
Only the three brides were still suffering from the wind and rain in the pavilion.
The night becomes more and more gloomy.
"Brother, your previous tricks were really amazing."
The little girl wearing gold and silver came up to Yan Jing and said timidly.
While praising her, her watery eyes were staring straight at the dishes next to her.
Her mother was staying with other women at this time, as if asking something, with a smile on her face, and her slightly shabby clothes were particularly eye-catching.
"Sleight of hand... practice makes perfect. Do you want to try this?"
He took out a plate of meringues from the tray he passed by and brought it to the little girl. Seeing her nodding hurriedly, he asked again,
"Then can you answer a few questions for me?"
"good."
"Do you know what they are doing?"
Picking up a piece of meringue and handing it to the little girl, Yan Jing bent down and asked.
"Make a bride for the god He Bo."
"Is it just this year, or has this happened often before?"
"It seems there was some last year."
Putting the meringue into her mouth, the little girl's eyes widened in delight, and she covered her mouth to prevent the crumbs from falling out, and said in a low voice.
Someone nearby noticed the situation here and wanted to step forward to stop it, but Yan Jing stopped him first with a fierce look.
"The year before last, and the year before that too!"
Seeing that the other children were getting something to eat by answering the question, an older boy also came over to answer the question.
"Yeah, it's been going on for several years."
Yan Jing distributed meringues to several children, and his eyes fell on the gold and silver utensils on their bodies.
"Then what are these gold bracelets and silver necklaces you are wearing for?"
"When a god gets married, there should be people around to serve him. My mother said that since we are young, we can serve the god for a few more years. If we are lucky, we can catch some of the fairy spirit and become a god."
The little boy raised his face and said in a rather proud tone.
Chu La
Several cracks appeared on the edge of the plate holding the egg puffs, and Yan Jing took it back calmly.
At this moment, the communicator on the collar came out with a reminder from Zhao Qianwu,
"There is something strange happening in the lake, please pay attention!"
Almost at the same time.
Yan Jing noticed the sudden and chaotic fluctuations of spiritual energy outside the restaurant.
It's coming!
The sudden rain splashed onto the surface of the pavilion and the red lanterns hanging outside the restaurant, rendering large black stains like ink.
The lantern hit the pillar, making a dull collision sound.
The stain continued to spread, and soon all the lanterns were completely covered in it.
The red light that should have seemed festive gradually turned into a strange blue-gray, casting distorted light and shadow.
In an instant, everything inside and outside the lake seemed to be sinking into deep water.
The cold, damp wind and rain spread everywhere.
There were long and narrow objects like water plants swaying in the darkness, and strange roars could be heard from the houses and alleys not far away.
In front of the restaurant, the water flow formed by the black rain falling to the ground was lingering. Instead of flowing in other directions, it even continued to gather.
Yan Jing held the wine pot in his left hand, opened his mouth and bit the mouth of the pot.
With his eyes fixed on the scene outside the restaurant, the spicy liquor poured into his throat continuously, dispelling the chill that spread throughout his body.
The Shuofeng Sword in his right hand is clenched tighter and tighter.
Despite such a strange scene, the restaurant was extremely peaceful. The old man on crutches stepped forward and shouted,
"God has arrived, turn off the lights!"
The few remaining unaffected lights in the restaurant were all extinguished in just a few seconds.
The deep darkness rushes into the restaurant.
Affected by the intellectual eclipse, Yan Jing saw that black water had begun to seep out from all the furniture and even the ground inside the restaurant, and the Sandu Buddha statue was obviously not enough to resist this level of evil invasion.
Even the pagoda cannot suppress the three-headed evil spirit, let alone that it only borrows part of its power.
"I would like to invite He Bo to your seat!"
The old man who has held many ceremonies over the years has a cane in his hand, and his ravaged old face is full of fanatical emotions.
Hearing his words, Yan Jing, who thought He Bo was about to appear, let out a sigh of relief.
The muscles all over the body are tense and ready to go.
However, to Yan Jing's expectation, it was not He Bo who appeared at the door the next second, but a group of townspeople in the restaurant.
The state of these people was not much different from that of the old man. They walked to the gate, knelt down on the ground without saying a word and kowtowed three times to the wind and rain outside the building, and then buried their faces directly in the black water in front of the door.
...
Starting from the heads, black water seeped into the torsos of the townspeople. Under the blue-gray light, their figures on the ground changed erratically.
"Respectfully invite He Bo to take your seat!"
The old man shouted again, and the remaining townspeople behind him also shouted in unison.
As if in response to the requests of these "believers", spine-chilling whispers sounded in the restaurant. The townspeople, who were covered in black water, stood up and headed straight to the banquets in various places in the building.
Without any extraneous behavior, he started eating when he sat down, and the appearance of eating was extremely ugly, like a vicious dog pouncing on its food. His arms were scratching around, not caring about what he touched, but crazily stuffing it into his mouth.
Yan Jing on the side looked at this scene and felt confused. What kind of evil spirit would be obsessed with enjoying human food, and would even go so far as to control the townspeople to achieve its goals?
Not to mention eating it in such a way that it’s like a starving ghost reincarnated.
That's right, these people in front of Yan Jing are He Bo's teeth and tongues. They are controlled by the latter and share the taste of these foods with him!
The delicacies that consumed a lot of ingredients and were carefully prepared by famous chefs in Jingjiang Town were completely ruined.
Black water flowed between the plates, food remnants were scattered everywhere, and the people continued to eat badly.
Disgusting!
And this is just the beginning of the wedding banquet.
Seeing that the food and wine were about to be exhausted, the old man immediately turned back and signaled to the women inside the restaurant,
"It's time for them to serve God!"
As soon as the words fell, a woman in gorgeous clothes hurriedly bowed and said a few words to her child. Then she saw the oldest child raising his hand and starting to walk out of the restaurant.
The other children had obviously received instructions from their adults and lined up to follow.
"Goodbye, big brother."
When the girl passed by Yan Jing, she raised her hand to say hello. The latter still smiled back and handed a piece of meringue into her mouth.
Led by the oldest child, a group of young children left the restaurant.
The wind and rain outside the building made them stagger around, but before they took a few steps, black water spread from all directions, wrapping around their calves and pushing them forward.
The tide in Chengjing Lake is rising, and a large number of black shadows are approaching the covered bridge from the center of the lake.
Rumble
Amidst the roar, pale thunder light illuminated the inside and outside of the lake.
Zhao Qianwu, Yu Ke and Yu Zhen who were lying in ambush nearby took a breath of air-conditioning at the same time.
I saw that the lake on both sides of the covered bridge leading to the pavilion was filled with ferocious-looking water monsters at some point!
The monster is covered with thick long hair, with only two scarlet eyeballs left in the center. It stretches out its claws and hooks them on the railing on the side of the covered bridge. It has a high fin-like ridge on its back and is covered with gray-green scales. The monster with a fish head kept slapping the lake water beside it, making a sharp scream; there was also a monster that looked somewhat similar to a turtle hiding in the water, stretching out its long and narrow neck, with an indescribably ugly head above the corridor. Swing back and forth.
"Welcome He Bo!"
Along with another thunderous explosion, someone in the restaurant shouted again.
In the middle of the covered bridge on the lake, a bloated and terrifying monster finally appeared!
Three protruding, bloodshot eyeballs were rolling around. Its body was like a standing toad, its body was covered with disgusting pustules, and its fangs were all over it, chewing constantly, as if it was tasting something. There are dozens of tentacles growing above its bloody mouth.
People who are far away look at it and it looks like it has two strands of beard.
As one of the three evil spirits suppressed by the pagoda, this He Bo is undoubtedly significantly different from other evil spirits in the town.
Black water dripped down from its body, revealing a gorgeous robe. Gold and silver objects were hung all over its torso. As its nightmarish body squirmed, they collided with each other, making constant crisp sounds, and it seemed to enjoy it extremely. This kind of sound.
Two eyeballs locked on the three brides in the Huxin Pavilion, the scarlet pupils expanded, and even the bloodshot eyes around them swelled a bit at this moment.
The remaining eyeballs were locked on the children in front of the restaurant, their stubby arms swinging left and right, and foul-smelling saliva constantly dripping from their ferocious mouths.
Its food, its servants, its wives, its treasures, plus those devout believers...
Hebo clapped his hands excitedly, and the speed of the black water surrounding the children increased a little faster.
But in the next second, all the children stayed in place as if they had been immobilized, prompting He Bo to stretch his claws and try again.
But before it could exert its force, the three eyeballs seemed to be aware of it, and their sights converged in one place.
In the restaurant, the enthusiastic townspeople heard footsteps behind them that kept accelerating.
Looking back, I saw the ferocious strong man from before with his clothes open, holding a wine bottle high in his left hand and drinking heavily. The color on the sides of his cheeks was darker, and he was obviously tipsy, but his eyes were fierce with light golden light. Overflowing with light!
Since wisdom erosion will affect your sanity, you might as well get yourself drunk and act based on your intuition!
Throwing down the wine bottle, Yan Jing pulled away the people who were blocking him, accelerated suddenly, and advanced rapidly.
With just one leap, he crossed over the children in front of the door. With his right hand forward, the Shuofeng Sword flew straight out of the scabbard and turned into a dark cyan stream of light surrounding him. The Scarlet Nightmare Gauntlet appeared, and crimson energy gathered in his hands. !
Behind Yan Jing was the water that carried the children back to the restaurant, and beside him were many evil spirits and strange spirits that kept roaring.
The blood-colored Yanyue Sword finally condensed.
With his eyebrows raised, Yan Jing glared angrily at these twisted monsters who wantonly trampled on human life.
Subdue demons and eliminate demons.
Just tonight!
Chapter completed!
