Chapter 194 Miracles
"dong dong dong"

Not long after Fu Shaoping lay down, he heard nine drum sounds in the air. He rolled over like a carp and immediately stood up, pushed the door and walked out.

Muttering:
"This Hanshan Village really can't be quiet for a moment."

The little girl also came out of the house holding her little brother.

Wait for the drum to drop.

The little girl's face showed a solemn expression. She met Fu Shaoping's puzzled gaze and explained:

"Big brother, nine drums sounded. This means the village will select a new priest overnight. Everyone in the village must gather at the ancient temple."

Sacrifice all night long.

Fu Shaoping frowned.

It seems that someone has been eyeing the position of high priest for a long time.

He had no intention of following the past, and said directly:
"Taotao, remember, no matter who asks, don't mention me and your sister Nangong."

"Yes, I know."

The little girl Taotao nodded.

If it weren’t for Fu Shaoping’s appearance.

I'm afraid that their entire Hanshan Village has become food for the monster Baicao.

She will never forget this great kindness.

Nangong Ning watched the little girl Taotao leave, her eyes flickering, and she seemed to be eager to make a move: "Fellow Daoist Fu, why don't we also join the priest selection? If we are chosen, then we will have the power of the totem."

Fu Shaoping shook his head.

It's not that easy.

No matter what.

The unicorn totem of Hanshan Village couldn't possibly choose these two outsiders:
"I'll take a rest and leave at dawn."

Fu Shaoping turned around and went into the house and lay down.

The residents of Hanshan Village who heard the drumbeats had gathered in the square of the ancient temple in twos and threes. Pig heads, cows and sheep were already placed on the altar. Xu Lizheng, dressed in a long robe, stood at the head with a majestic look and said in a loud voice:

"The high priest's soul tablet has been shattered. For the safety of our entire village, I declare that a sacrifice will be held now and a new priest will be selected."

This statement came out.

Everyone burst into discussion.

but.

There was clearly more excitement than sadness.

After all, the high priest has been idle for the past few years, and everyone is angry but dares not speak out, and they have long hoped that a new priest will take office.

Xu Lizheng raised his hand and pressed into the air.

Everyone immediately fell silent.

Xu Lizheng didn't hesitate, he raised his hand and said directly:
"Play music and dance!"

The musicians are already in place.

At Xu Lizheng's order.

String and wind music started playing.

The temple girls also began to perform sacrificial dances.

Everyone was nervously looking at the fire pillars engraved with dragon patterns on both sides of the square. If they wanted to select a new priest, they had to make the totem statue of the ancient temple appear.

And this is the sign.

The six pillars of fire on both sides will ignite one by one.

The sacrificial dance was halfway through.

However, none of the six fire pillars were lit, and everyone was so nervous that their throats were at their throats.

because.

In other villages, there have been cases where the previous priests have passed away and new priests have not been selected. Speaking of which, their ancient temple has not performed miracles for several years.

Xu Lizheng was so angry that his teeth were itching.

This is all because the previous priest had too little communication with the totem statue in recent years.

In the blink of an eye.

The sacrificial dance came to an end.

But still not a single pillar of fire was lit.

"This"

Xu Lizheng's face turned pale.

The current situation shows that no one present can be recognized by the unicorn totem. Without the protection of the priests, they have no ability to deal with the monsters that appear and disappear at night in the Hades Heaven.

At this time, Xu Lizheng no longer cared about his disappointment at losing the election.

Turn around immediately.

Bang.

Kneel down firmly on the ground.

Sing loudly:

"Please have mercy, Dragon Lord!"

The residents of the entire Hanshan Village also realized the seriousness of the matter.

One by one they fell to the ground.

Sing loudly along with Xu Lizheng:
"I beg you to have mercy on me, Dragon Lord!!"

If a new priest is not selected, it means that they must merge with other villages, but their status will become second-class residents, always lower than the dependent village.

This is not something they can accept.

Everyone bowed.

The sound of singing and nod resounded through the sky.

But after the sacrificial dance was over, there was still no sign of the dragon statue in the ancient temple appearing.

"woooooo"

"Has Long Zun abandoned us?"

The residents were filled with grief and began to sob.

Xu Lizheng also collapsed on the ground powerlessly.

Suddenly.

A glimmer of hope emerged on his pale face. He forced himself to stand up and gave a few instructions to his subordinates. Then a dozen people began to check the people present.

Xu Lizheng also took action personally.

He now hopes that there are still people in Hanshan Village who have not arrived at the scene. The selection of the new priest must be within a hundred meters of the ancient temple. Maybe the person who is not present is the new priest!
of course.

This was his only thought.

soon.

More than a dozen subordinates came one after another to report on such a grand event. Even an old man paralyzed in bed had his bed lifted up. No one was absent.

Xu Lizheng's face turned even paler.

When he finally found the little girl Taotao, he glanced around her and his eyes lit up: "Taotao, why are there only you two siblings? Where is your second uncle's family?"

Xu Lizheng seemed to see hope.

Although he usually looks down on Uncle Taotao.

But now it is his life-saving straw.

Tao Tao's eyes turned red and she said:

"Reporting to the head of the village, my second uncle's family was eaten by the herb monster!"

"When did this happen?"

"My second uncle was possessed by the herb monster and ate my second aunt and the others. The herb monster accumulated strength and originally planned to attack the ancient temple tonight, but was stopped by the old priest. In the end, the old priest died in the battle. If..."

Taotao realized that she had let the cat out of the bag.

Cover your mouth immediately.

Xu Lizheng lifted her arm and found that the red warning mole on her hand had disappeared, indicating that the warning tonight was issued by Taotao.

He thought that the old priest died together with the strange grass.

But now it seems.

But there is another hidden story.

He couldn't believe that in the middle of the night, a little girl named Taotao just happened to discover Baicao's strange whereabouts, so he frowned and said solemnly:
"Peach"

"Whether or not we can select a new priest is related to the fate of tens of thousands of people in our entire Hanshan Village. Tell us what you know honestly, otherwise..."

Xu Lizheng narrowed his eyes slightly.

Taotao was scared.

But I still remember the promise I made to Fu Shaoping:

"Li Zheng, this is all I know. I've told you everything."

Xu Lizheng snorted in his heart.

He could still handle a little girl.

He quickly grabbed Lele, who was protected by Taotao, and glared at her: "Lele, tell uncle, is your sister hiding something?"

"Let my brother go, Lele, you..."

Taotao wanted her brother to stop talking.

But the adult quickly covered his mouth.

Lele was so frightened by Xu Lizheng's murderous gaze that he peed himself. He was less than five years old and had never seen such a scene before. He immediately told the whole story:

"My sister brought back an older brother and sister. They fed Lele white flour buns, but Lele didn't recognize them. Wuuuuu, please let my sister go. Wuuuuu."

outsider? !
Xu Lizheng was stunned for a moment.

Generally speaking.

Few outsiders would stay overnight in other villages, unless they were traveling merchants.

But the two outsiders had no influence on their sacrifices.

unless.

They were the ones who introduced the strange herb.

Xu Lizheng's eyes were sharp. Taotao, who was caught, opened her mouth and bit the master who covered her. After getting the chance to speak, she quickly told how she met Fu Shaoping, and how it was Fu Shaoping who first discovered Baicao Guaijue and finally eliminated Baicao Guaijue. She quickly said:
"Village head, Brother Fu is a good person, and so is Sister Nangong. They said they would leave at dawn and would not stay in our village for long. I can swear on my brother's and my own life that what I just said is true. If any of them is a lie, then I will not die a good death!"

This statement came out.

The whole place was shocked.

They never expected it.

It turned out that an outsider saved the lives of their entire village.

Anyway.

For the lifesaver.

They should treat them with courtesy and certainly not vent their anger for not selecting a new priest on the other party.

however.

Xu Lizheng suddenly thought of a possibility, his eyes lit up, and he slapped his head and said, "So that's it, so that's it!!"

He rolled his eyes.

He put the little boy Lele in his arms down and said:
"Le Le, if you want us to let your sister go, go back and call your brother Fu over."

talking.

Xu Lizheng turned around and said to the musicians and the temple maidens:

"Play the music and perform the sacrificial dance again!"

Everyone didn't know why.

I thought Xu Lizheng was unwilling to give up and wanted to try again.

The little boy Lele ran all the way crying and fell down several times. He didn't know the adults' tricks and just wanted to save his sister.

"Wuwuwu, big brother, big sister, wuwuwu"

Lele returned home crying.

Nangong Ning, who was guarding Fu Shaoping's door, came over quickly. Seeing that Taotao was not following Lele, she was startled: "Lele, what's wrong? Where's your sister?"

Lele's nose was bubbling from crying.

For a while.

Then he continued intermittently:

"My sister was caught by the head of the village. He said that he would only let my sister go if Brother Fu went there. Sister Nangong, please save my sister, wuwuwu."

Lele cried intermittently.

Fu Shaoping had already understood what was said in the room.

Pushed the door and walked out.

Nangong frowned and said:

"Friend Fu, what do you think the village head of Hanshan Village is selling?"

They were just staying for one night.

and.

If it weren't for them.

Tonight, all the people in Hanshan Village have been swallowed by the strange grass.

Fu Shaoping's eyes fell on Lele, he bent down and brought his palm down, knocking Lele down in an instant. After putting him into the house, he said to Nangong Ning:
"It's less than half an hour until dawn. Find a place near the city gate to hide. I'll go to the ancient temple to check. If there's any accident, you don't have to wait for me. You can leave here as soon as the sun rises."

"Friend Fu, I..."

Nangong Ning thought about following.

But I thought that I might just be a burden.

Without her.

Fu Shaoping can move more freely under the cover of the invisibility cloak.

So in the end I could only nod weakly.

but.

But I made a secret promise in my heart.

As long as she can leave Minghuangtian alive, she will repay Fu Shaoping's kindness in the past few days tenfold or a hundredfold. If Fu Shaoping gets anything unexpected, she will repay it to his children, relatives, and the Fu family!
Nangong Ning said:

"Fellow Daoist Fu, take care!"

talking.

He quickly stood up and ran towards the city gate.

Fu Shaoping put on an invisibility cloak and walked towards the ancient temple.

The sound of sacrificial wind instruments came to my ears.

A look of doubt flashed across Fu Shaoping's eyes.

Look.

The sacrificial ceremony has not yet been completed.

This means that the new priest has not been selected yet. Then why did Xu Lizheng suddenly capture Taotao halfway and lure me there?

Could something unexpected have happened during the sacrifice?
Xu Lizheng wanted to catch a replacement.

but.

No new priests were selected.

Fu Shaoping, on the contrary, became calmer. The people of Hanshan Village, who could not use the power of totem, could not do anything to him, especially since he still had the invisibility cloak.

The ancient temple is right in front of you.

The ancient temple square was obviously full of people kneeling.

In the top position.

Xu Li was holding Taotao and staring straight ahead.

Fu Shaoping glanced at the entire situation and after confirming that no new priest had been born, he tiptoed towards the main altar in the square. With his skills, he could easily snatch Taotao from Xu Lizheng's arms without anyone noticing, then cover her with an invisibility cloak and quickly leave.

Walk through the crowd.

When you reach the pillars of fire on both sides.

at this time.

The pillar of fire that had been silent all this time suddenly burst into flames with a bang.

"This is."

The residents of Hanshan Village, who had already fallen into despair, saw this scene.

Everyone was so excited that they almost screamed out loud.

But they also knew that they could not disrupt the sacrificial ceremony. Although they were excited, they just covered their mouths and knelt down more sincerely:
Long Zun did not abandon them!
Xu Lizheng, who was standing on the altar, was stunned when he saw the pillar of fire light up. Then he looked back and forth in the direction of the ancient temple, but there was no one in front of the temple.

"Did I guess wrong?"

Maybe.

Just now they were not pious enough.

Dragon Lord didn't show up?!

The real priest will still be born among the people of Hanshan Village.

Think about it.

Xu Lizheng immediately knelt down.

but.

He still held Taotao tightly in his arms.

Just now.

But I saw it in the main hall of the ancient temple.

A buzzing sound.

A soft chime sounded.

Then thousands of yellow lights lit up above the ancient temple.

In the yellow light.

The shadow of a unicorn appeared.

The phantom of the unicorn suddenly circled in the air and flew towards the altar with a roar.

"The Dragon Lord has manifested!"

"The Dragon Lord has manifested!!"

Everyone was overjoyed.

They bowed down excitedly one by one.

Xu Lizheng, who was sitting on the altar, stiffened.

because.

The shadow of Dragon Lord was coming towards him.

Xu Lizheng was excited!

really.

He is the chosen one!
For a while.

Xu Lizheng cried with joy.

I didn't have the heart to pay attention to Taotao at the moment.

After all, the overall situation has been decided.

He immediately let Taotao go.

Just now.

Fu Shaoping also happened to come to the altar.

He originally wanted to reach out and hold Taotao in his arms, but seeing the phantom of the unicorn flying in the air, he turned around and dodged for safety reasons.

He is an outsider after all.

I don’t know whether the other party will have any ill will towards me.

So he turned around and jumped off the main altar.

Xu Lizheng, who was on the stage preparing to receive the baptism of Long Zun, had already opened his hands, but when Long Zun arrived in front of him, he turned around and flew down the stage, changing direction.

what on earth is it?
