Chapter 763 Exorcism Ritual
It is rare to see a big God of Wealth, and the excitement of the villagers can be imagined.

After some discussion, they brought out the bacon and dried fruits that they only ate during the festival and piled them up in front of Su Yun. Three strong men brought two large tanks of clean water for Su Yun and others to wash their hands and faces.

Even, the village specially selected five handsome young girls to clean the room and prepare the beds for them.

The women put on the embroidered skirts that they were usually reluctant to part with, and after quickly finishing their chores, they knelt down in front of Su Yun in a row.

Su Yun didn't refuse, she bought all these water, food and enjoyment with gold.

After eating and drinking, she gave the women some pieces of silver.

The extra gains made the women's eyes light up immediately.

"Miss, you are really a fairy who came down from the sky. Not only are you beautiful, you also have a kind heart."

Su Yun smiled and said: "I'm not a kind-hearted fairy, I'm just an ordinary person who accidentally got lost."

"But..." The eyes of the women flickered, they looked at each other and asked, "Miss, did you really get lost here by accident?"

"Why, is it still fake?" Su Yun asked back.

Although she didn't know what kind of misunderstanding the women had, she didn't mind making the mistake right and deliberately misleading.

This trick really worked quickly.

When the women saw Su Yun and his party dressed up gorgeously and spent a lot of money, they inevitably had some unrealistic suspicions in their hearts. Now that they heard Su Yun's tone was vague, they believed that she was the identity they thought.

After some eye contact, the woman in the middle glanced at Rolling, who had already transformed into a prototype at some point, chewing and eating dried fruit, and boldly said, "Miss is a summoner?"

"Yes, I am a summoner." Su Yun admitted bluntly, "They are all my contracted beasts."

When she first entered the village, she found that the people in this place seemed to respect summoners very much.

"To be able to contract so many summoned beasts, miss, you must be a very powerful summoner." The woman said longingly, "I don't know, miss... which Manlo family do you come from?"

"Manluo?" Su Yun froze for a moment.

Manluo is the capital of Shendu Kingdom!Am I in a poison country now?
But the next moment, she immediately let go.

The reason why I came here is because of Meng Tianji's teleportation array, and Meng Tianji was born in the Poison God King's family!

"I don't belong to any of Manlo's aristocratic families." Su Yun said desperately, "It was a complete accident that I appeared here."

"...I understand, Miss was born in a noble family, how can she tell us the background of low-level people." The woman whispered, and continued to serve a few monsters seriously.

Su Yun saw their expressions suddenly inexplicably depressed, and the fog in her heart became thicker.

……

At night, not long after falling asleep, Su Yun smelled smoke.

Ever since she found out that she was in the territory of the poison country, she asked the monsters to stay alert and guard against the outside world.Therefore, the moment they smelled the strange smell, several monsters jumped up immediately.

"Go out and see what's going on!" Su Yun repeated.

As soon as the voice fell, someone timidly opened the curtain and walked into the room.

The girl was dark and thin, and she was one of the village girls sent by the villagers to clean the house.

"The village is holding an exorcism ceremony, and there may be some smoke. I hope the distinguished guests don't mind." The girl said timidly, with timidity in her eyes.

"Exorcism ritual?" Su Yun was a little puzzled, "Could it be—"

She just came to Huangsha Village, and Huangsha Village held an exorcism ceremony. Could it be aimed at her?

The girl also knew why Su Yun was upset, and hurriedly explained: "No! There is absolutely no intention to target guests! Our Huangsha Village holds an exorcism ceremony every year on this day, and you just happen to—"

"Is it just a coincidence?" Su Yun murmured.

Seeing that she didn't believe it, the girl was so anxious that tears came out.

"Dear guests, don't be overwhelmed. The exorcism ceremony is a custom in our area every year. Every village will abide by this custom... Gather and burn things that the whole village considers unclean in public... From the preparation to the official ceremony , it will take half a month!"

"That's because I'm overthinking." Su Yun pretended not to care and said, "It's a rare chance to meet the annual exorcism ceremony, can you let me visit it?"

"This..." The girl hesitated.

Su Yun said: "If it's a secret ceremony where outsiders are not allowed to attend, then forget it." After speaking, she grabbed a few more silver beans and put them in the girl's palm.

Looking at the silver beans in her palm, a light flashed in the girl's eyes.

She gritted her teeth and said, "According to the rules, outsiders are not allowed to participate in the exorcism ceremony. But you are not an outsider. It is our honor that you can come to our village. I...I will take you to the lake immediately!"

"Thank you."

……

Villagers had already gathered by the lake, all of them had serious faces, surrounded by piles of evil things as high as mountains.

There are blood-stained clothes, moldy bread, and blue-gray stones...everything considered unclean by the villagers was piled up by the lake, waiting for the village chief's order to be set on fire.

The most striking thing in the pile of dirt are three bamboo frames that are two meters long.

Bamboo frames can be seen everywhere, but it is a bit unusual for people to be tied to the frame.

"Who are they?" Su Yun asked in a low voice. The people on the bamboo frame were all wrapped in white linen, and it could only be vaguely seen that they were all women, no more than thirty years old.

"They are all widows," the girl explained. "According to the rules here, a woman whose husband died before giving birth to a child is unclean and must be burned to death. Otherwise, the gods will punish the entire village, and the lake will dry up next year. The crops in the farmland are not harvested, and the newborn children will also suffer from strange diseases."

"What did you say?!" Su Yun was stunned, there is such a disgusting custom of burning widows to death in this world!
"Actually, I also think they are very pitiful, but if they are not burned to death, the whole village will suffer." The girl said in a low voice, "This is a centuries-old rule."

"Who made such an exorbitant rule!" Su Yun sternly said, the exorcism ritual may be classified as a superstition, and burning the living is simply ignorance!

The girl lowered her head: "I don't know when this rule started. There has been a story circulating in the village since grandma's time. It is said that 300 years ago, a woman died of her husband. Her father did not believe in exorcism rituals and insisted on Hiding people at home... As a result... the lake completely dried up in the second year! Many people died because of their selfishness! In the end, the village head led people to rush into their house, pulled the man and his daughter out and burned them to death On the second day after they were burned to death, water gushed out from the ground! On the fourth day, it began to rain, and the drought that lasted for more than 100 days ended.”

"You mean, if you break the tradition, you will be punished by the gods?" Su Yun asked.

The girl said nothing, just nodded.

At this time, the torch has been raised.

Seeing the terrified eyes of the women in the fireworks, Su Yun couldn't help taking a step forward: "You have a rule of burning widows, but my rule is that whoever burns the widow will be hanged!"
