Black Cat Mansion: Book of Paranormal Events

Chapter 251 The Will of the River God

The three people who fell into the water had already changed their clothes, and their emotions were still flustered. Li Chengyuan led them to the ancestral hall, and Yan Xiaoai also fell into the water. According to the rules, she should also go to the ancestral hall to burn incense and apologize, but the old man did not Let her in, she had no choice but to stay outside.

Li Chengyuan led the three of them into the ancestral hall.

The ancestral hall is not too big. There is a statue of the Dragon King in the center of the altar. On both sides of the statue of the Dragon King are many spiritual seats. These spiritual seats belong to the village chiefs and some important figures.

Modern people seldom see such a scene. The three of them were startled when they saw the table full of spiritual seats, and their bodies trembled involuntarily. Knelt down and bowed devoutly.

Li Chengyuan's demeanor did not change. After receiving the incense from Aunt Wang, he just bowed down and bowed a few times before inserting it into the incense burner in front of him. His attitude was neither humble nor overbearing, polite and awe-inspiring. Aunt Wang slashed at him. Didn't say anything.

The windows of the ancestral hall were all closed, and the light inside was a little dark. After prostrating, the three of them ran out quickly. The atmosphere of the ancestral hall was too depressing, and it was a bit overwhelming after staying there for a while.

"Auntie, don't be angry, they are all children, ignorant."

The three of them ran out in a panic, and Aunt Wang's complexion suddenly turned bad again. Li Chengyuan hurriedly apologized again, and Aunt Wang's complexion improved a bit.

After such an incident, everyone naturally lost their minds to play. After eating, they basically stayed in their rooms and chatted, and they didn't like this village even more.

The old man at the gate of the ancestral hall offered a stick of incense, then turned to look at Aunt Wang standing aside with a serious expression.

"Are you all ready? Don't miss the big event tonight."

"It's been prepared a long time ago, but are you sure which one it is? There are so many girls here this time, it's not good if you make a mistake." Aunt Wang nodded, and couldn't help asking again, which is the girl in the village? It's a big deal, but it can't be vague at all.

The old man stroked his beard with his hand, and said with a light smile: "Before they came, I was worried that I might make a mistake, but after I came, I was quite sure that one of these girls was very special, and the river god appeared that day. A yin and yang fish pattern appeared, isn't this girl's fate just in line with it."

"You mean the girl who went into the water?" Aunt Wang immediately thought of Yan Xiaoai, she hesitated for a moment and then said: "I took a closer look at that girl just now, and I don't think she is an ordinary girl. The breathing is gentle and long, and the walking steps are very steady, and there is a faint aura flowing around the body, I am afraid that it is a gentleman."

"Whatever she is, she is the one the River God wants. No matter how powerful she is, she's just a little girl. You'll just need to increase the dose later." The old man waved his hands disapprovingly, and a ruthless look flashed in his eyes.

"got it."

Aunt Wang nodded and said nothing more.

Because the village is in the mountains, it got dark earlier, and the village was not powered on. Every household was lit with lanterns, which was barely bright.

"Boys are out for dinner, I've stewed some chicken for you, come and have a taste."

Aunt Wang yelled into the room, and everyone came out of the room, everyone looked unhappy, and the meal was a mess.

"It's inconvenient to get electricity in the village. You can only rely on lanterns and candles. If you think it's too dark, I'll light a fire for you. This fire is just a little hot. What do you think?"
