Rent Affair

Chapter 117 The Altar
The man standing on the high platform was none other than the fashion designer whom he met this morning, Man Yuxiu.

"What the hell is he doing?"

I was very strange, and I was guessing in my heart, when I saw the man muttering words.Holding a mahogany sword in his hand, he jumped up and down on the altar, a bit like a great jumping god.

Suddenly, a dark wind blew, making everyone's clothes rattle violently.Following Man Yuxiu's practice, the bright moon was blocked by the drifting black clouds, and the whole world fell into darkness and deathly silence.

The wind is getting stronger and stronger, and the clouds are gradually turning red.Blood-red, the hills, forests, rocks, altars, and even all the people seemed to be stained with blood, making them even more terrifying.

I was apprehensive, and when I was thinking, I realized that the wind was getting stronger and stronger, and it could almost blow people away.But those people were motionless, as if roots had taken root on the soles of their feet.

I hid behind the stone, almost unable to hold on, suddenly the sky darkened, and a little red light flew from a distance.

I turned my head and took a closer look. The red light came so quickly, like a shooting star on a summer night, across the sky and landed on the altar.

In an instant, when a few red lights flew over my head, I could see very clearly that the little red lights were actually a few lanterns.Among the several red lights, there is a huge black object flying past like a meteorite.

But it was a huge coffin.

"It's a coffin, what about those lanterns?"

I suddenly realized, and with a flash in front of my eyes, those lanterns landed on the altar.The moment the lantern hit the ground, but seeing a flash of light, there were a few more people on the altar.

Dressed in black, with a black hat on his head, his body was lying on the altar, trembling.

"It was them."

These people are none other than the people I saw digging coffins under the willow grove earlier.

"Really, forgive me, please forgive me."

Several people were lying on the ground, kowtowing and shaking, obviously extremely scared.

"Hmph, I asked you to go to work, but you actually took your things and fled without permission."

Man Yuxiu was very angry, snorted coldly, then raised his head, and shouted to the people below: "There is still a quarter of an hour until the ceremony of worshiping the gods, now I will give everyone some sweets to eat."

"Good, good, good..."

The people below opened their eyes at the same time, as if tens of thousands of rays of light shot out, which startled me.

"Okay, let's go down."

Man Yuxiu laughed loudly, ignored those begging for mercy, and kicked him down with a left kick and a right kick.

When the bodies of several people hit the ground, just as they got up, the people next to them rushed up like a tide, and they were nowhere to be seen.Then, only a few screams were heard, but I saw those people moving their hands and feet, and there was a ho-ho sound from their noses, tearing their clothes, flesh and blood to pieces.

From time to time, those people stood up, holding arms, thighs, internal organs, or heads in their hands, biting and devouring frantically, like a group of evil spirits.

"Too cruel."

I couldn't help but close my eyes, these people are like evil ghosts, the kind of desperate hunger, almost to the point of sickness, I have never seen before.

"Are you afraid of death?"

"I'm afraid."

I opened my eyes and looked again. I thought that Man Yuxiu had kicked everyone down, but after a closer look, I found that there was another person lying on the altar, also begging for mercy.However, this person's body is much thinner, and his clothes are dark red, which is similar to the light of a lantern, so he is almost unrecognizable.

I just didn't see it, and Man Yuxiu heard it, but he was furious: "Although you are young, you are extremely talented. This time you got such important news, I trust you so much, and entrust you with such an important task , you dare to take this thing and escape privately, even if you are fed to the ghosts of all ghosts, you will not be wronged."

"Injustice."

The man kowtowed again, and then slowly raised his head: "My real man, the villain just thinks this incident is very strange, this thing appeared too coincidentally, I took this away just because I wanted to..."

"Okay." Man Yuxiu waved his hand, interrupting the man's words: "Now the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the gods is coming soon. Since you have made great achievements this time and made up for your mistakes, now it is time to employ people again. I will forgive you once. If you next time If you do it again, I won't kick you down to be eaten by these ghouls. You know the ghost of all ghosts."

The man trembled, obviously very frightened, and then quickly said that he knew.

"Why is she?"

The man stood up, raised his head, and turned around. I could see clearly and couldn't help being dumbfounded.

This person is a bit shorter than Man Yuxiu, probably only up to Man Yuxiu's shoulders, but when I turned around, I saw the face, but this face was very clear.

This person is the daughter of the proprietress when I first entered Fengdu and went to stay.

At that time, I knew that eating evil human flesh was popular in Fengdu, and almost every hotel and restaurant had this special dish.I was also worried that there would be black shops and it would be unsafe, so after a lot of tossing around, I finally found the hotel and was willing to stay there.

One is the lady proprietress of the hotel, she is beautiful, a very ordinary image of a middle-aged ordinary beautiful woman.Secondly, it was the youngest daughter of the proprietress, who impressed me very deeply.

At that time, I saw this little girl for the first time. She was only eight or nine years old, with a pair of jewel-colored eyes that were big and energetic.It seems that there are waves in the eyes, the firm and straight bridge of the nose, the slightly thin and soft cherry lips, showing an almost transparent ruby ​​red, and the soft and beautiful black long hair on the head is slanted down, and it is just right.Powder carving jade powder carving jade carving, innocent and lovely, just like a doll.

I thought to myself that a middle-aged woman with a lovely daughter should have no problem, so I chose that hotel.

Unexpectedly, instead, he entered a black shop and was scammed.

"That's right. It's absolutely impossible for an ordinary woman and little girl to open a hotel in a place like the county town where there are so many fish and dragons."

I feel that I still think too simply, thinking of Jun Wan, and seeing the innocent and lovely face of that little girl, I feel great hatred in my heart.

"The time has come, and the ceremony will begin now."

Unknowingly, a quarter of an hour later, Man Yuxiu looked up, and the silver moonlight shone directly down, illuminating the altar like daytime.

Man Yuxiu picked up the mahogany sword again, chanting words in his mouth, and followed him.The cloudy wind picked up, and the red clouds came again, rolling in layers, from far to near, like rushing waves, it was very spectacular to watch.

I narrowed my eyes slightly, not understanding what he was planning to do with the altar.

What's more, if I want to ask him to ask Jun Jun, but there are too many people on the other side, and I will definitely be looking for death if I go up now, I can only wait and see what happens.

Man Yu's words became faster and faster, the wind became stronger and stronger, and the red clouds were already approaching.Unlike before, when the red cloud layer came close, it stopped moving and surged above everyone's heads.

Like a wave that falls at any time, anger is like an emotion, once it's out of control.After a while, Man Yuxiu waved the mahogany sword in his hand, grabbed an object in his hand, and threw it forward.

When the object flew over the candle, there was a 'bang', and a raging flame ignited.

Man Yuxiu gave me the look of a great god, regardless of his attire, or in the entire ritual of worshiping the gods.In particular, the very traditional Taoist dance of the great gods.Of course, in the past, because of the regime’s suppression, people believed in science, Taoism, Buddhism, and even traditional studies all declined.And the once-prosperous Taoism has become the patent of people who swindle money with tradition.

Over time, a fixed concept is formed in people's minds.

Today's world situation, Taoism, tradition, ghosts and gods are all reborn, subverting everyone's previous views.Of course I am no exception, but so far, the demons I have encountered, whether it is Xiaoying, Qingmendao where Chen Changan is, Wanjun, table demon, mirror monster and other evil demons.Or corpse puppets, sand puppets, corpses tortured for thousands of years, etc. refined by Yang Hechang and others.Or the orthodox Taoists encountered in the palace, their style of doing things, as well as their methods and fighting skills, are simple and direct, and each has its own strengths.

Only this man is full of cultivation, and what he is doing now has a sense of ritual.

"Could it be that he worshiped the gods to do this?"

I had this doubt, and when I came back to my senses, Man Yuxiu had already thrown a handful of objects again, and another big fire started.I shook my head, but something I didn't expect happened.

The fire burned bigger and bigger, as if it shot straight into the sky and poured into the red clouds.

Red clouds, red fire, water in the fire, fire in the water, blending with each other, it is very strange.

After a while, the fire gradually extinguished, and after it was extinguished, countless black holes seemed to be burned out of the clouds, and a moonlight was revealed from the black holes.The moonlight shot down and fell on everyone's head.

These moonlights are different from natural ones. The moonlight is as bright as silver and as soft as water, but there are traces of red light in it, falling from the sky, each beam, each beam, directly shines on the Baihui acupoint of everyone below.

Everyone closed their eyes again, opened their mouths, and looked up at the sky, as if they were extremely hungry and thirsty, praying for the rain from the sky.

I was very shocked and found it unbelievable. At the same time, I felt a little apprehension and strong curiosity towards Man Yuxiu.

Man Yuxiu waved the mahogany sword, the light flashed, and then his body flew backwards, standing in the middle of the altar.His feet began to tread, lightly at first, then heavier and heavier.

I didn't understand it at first, but with every step he took, the openings of the jars in all directions on the altar became brighter.After six steps, the mouth of the jar was already very bright, and I knew that it was filled with that kind of liquid. The liquid was shiny and emitting a green light, as if illuminating the entire sky.

Man Yuxiu stood in the middle with a solemn face, and then took the seventh step abruptly.

The light flashed, the water rippled slightly, Qiqi stretched out a hand in the jar of liquid.

"what."

I was taken aback. Thinking of what I saw that night, I suddenly guessed a possibility and wondered, "Could it be that he wants to summon those black shadows, but what exactly did he summon those black shadows for?"

I was shocked and felt strange. At this time, a hand stretched out from each jar, and then the head came out, the neck, the body, all of them came out of the jar.

Sure enough, it was those dark shadows. I don't know if it was because of the light, or it had changed during this period of time.The truth astounded me.
