The man growled again.
Although the words were fragmented and incomplete, everyone present in the village seemed to clearly understand what the other was saying.
Suddenly, the breathing of these guys became heavier.
It seemed as if he was trying hard to restrain himself.
Or perhaps they are waiting for some kind of command.
However, given the open and aboveboard nature of their conspiracy, their previous statements are no longer valid.
Because, while speculating about the rules, they also revealed the events they were preparing, which is simply contradictory.
His real purpose in saying that was simply to find an excuse to mobilize everyone's emotions and conspire to do something together!
Such voices naturally disrupted Gecun's plans.
Yu Zhi's heart was also racing wildly because of this.
Because this is indeed a good opportunity. After all, rather than using the life of one of our own villagers to start the final ceremony, it is better to use the blood of outsiders as a catalyst.
Humans are inherently attached to life.
Even for someone as old as myself.
Perhaps this really is divine guidance.
It gave me guidance on how to prolong my life!
Thinking of this, Katsura suddenly slammed his cane on the ground, displaying a style and bearing somewhat reminiscent of Shimura Danzo:
"What nonsense! All visitors are guests. Our village hasn't had any guests in a long time."
"This is a fortunate event worth celebrating!"
"Everyone go home and prepare some fresh ingredients. Tonight, we'll host a grand welcome banquet for this guest who has come from afar."
"I will resolve the conflict between the guests and Reizen before the banquet."
While interrupting the radical man, he was also making arrangements in an orderly manner.
The words Yu used, such as ingredients and banquet, naturally carried special and profound meanings.
"I'm so sorry, sir."
"It's my fault for not teaching these ignorant people proper manners. I apologize for making a fool of myself."
"Please make sure to attend the dinner we are hosting for you tonight."
The old man's attitude underwent a complete 180-degree turn, and at the same time, he reprimanded the man who had previously spoken up and incited certain forces, demanding an apology.
"Yes, yes,"
"I was talking nonsense. I lost my manners when I met outsiders and didn't know what to say."
The man immediately apologized.
However, a hidden malice and a sly smile of triumph flickered in Yu Zhi's eyes.
The surrounding villagers also changed their attitude drastically. Their words went from expelling and questioning to promising to bring out fine wines and prepare various ingredients to hold a grand banquet.
The tense atmosphere instantly thawed, melting into a sea of joy.
They no longer cared why this unfamiliar stranger had come, or why he had come to Lengquan Shengguan.
Because none of this matters anymore.
Most importantly, the missing fourth spirit has been found!
However, just as the crowd began to disperse in twos and threes, the boy who had been facing away from everyone suddenly spoke:
"The blood of the ox, the blood of the snake, the blood of the wolf."
These three seemingly random words, spoken abruptly, froze the entire scene, causing every resident of the village to abruptly stop what they were doing.
because!
Because these are the first three spirits they prepared long ago!
As uneasy and frantic thoughts roared through the villagers' minds, that cold voice rang in their ears once more:
"And the blood of the young spirits, together they are called the blood of the four spirits."
Even with a blade pointed at him, Yato-gami, who still had no intention of revealing his identity, felt a slight sense of surprise.
This blood moon game, which she herself started, seems to have gradually gone off track from the moment the other party arrived.
Meanwhile, the villagers who had been excitedly preparing to go home and sharpen their knives according to the village chief's cryptic words all turned around slowly and stiffly, like puppets, and focused their gaze on the boy whose back was the only thing in sight.
A variety of complex emotions were rising in their hearts.
The plan has been exposed!
The memorial service is no longer a secret!
[He actually knew the rules; his arrival was definitely for a purpose!!]
A crazy idea began to grow and spread in everyone's hearts.
Even the kind old man with white hair who was gripping his cane suddenly turned gloomy.
If this matter is already known to outsiders.
Therefore, we currently only have two options:
First, we must capture these two guests from afar and interrogate them to find out how they knew about this secret and who else knew about it.
Secondly, a memorial service should be held as soon as possible.
There's no time to lose, it has to happen tonight!!
This is not just Gecun's idea; it is everyone's idea.
"He knows everything,"
"Do it!"
The man who had first launched a verbal attack suddenly broke the deadlock with a loud roar, and at the same time, he pulled a sharp dagger from his body.
This sharp blade, gleaming with a chilling light under the daylight, must have been carefully honed.
It's unclear whether this preparation stems from the "simple and honest folk customs" or whether they had already prepared their weapons and were simply waiting for the perfect opportunity.
Such a roar immediately ignited the emotions of most people present, and he was not the only one who secretly drew his weapon.
Clearly, it wasn't just the man who had some kind of plan; many people here had their own ulterior motives.
However, their weapons were limited to civilian items such as daggers, boning knives, and iron bars. One elderly woman even pulled out a rolling pin, which was completely unorthodox.
For this,
As the villagers, who were already on the verge of madness, surged forward, Huang, who had been facing away from them, finally turned to the side, a crimson glint appearing in his cold eyes.
Then, warm blood bloomed among the crowd.
Following the flow of warm liquid, one could see that the man who had first instigated the disturbance had slit his own throat with a sharp blade, his eyes filled with an unfathomable look of astonishment.
It was clearly meant to be something else, not his true intention.
'Plop.'
As the dull thud echoed as the object hit the ground, the atmosphere in the entire venue became exceptionally tense.
"Monster, monster."
Screams of panic rose from the crowd.
After all, those bloodshot eyes and the power to control human suicide clearly do not belong to normal humans!
However, this panic was quickly suppressed by Arana's cold voice:
"Alright, isn't this the Fourth Spirit?"
"Hurry up and move it,"
"Slow down, or you'll bleed to death."
Chapter 517 Rule Two: You reap what you sow.
The stranger's words were like a bewitching spell, instantly captivating the minds of these villagers.
They instinctively shifted their gaze from the stranger and naturally fell on the adult man lying in a pool of blood.
At this moment, the man who had lost his life lay motionless on the brick road, his bright red blood slowly spreading along the ground, his unclosed eyes filled with unanswered questions.
It seemed to be asking, why me of all people?
The villagers' initial intention to use this stranger as a sacrifice gradually changed over time.
After all, this fourth spirit doesn't specifically refer to any one person's blood; it seems that as long as it's not from an elderly person, it doesn't matter whose blood it is.
And in this way, one can avoid getting one's hands dirty and also avoid the worry of becoming a sacrifice in this festival.
at this point,
This seems to have become the perfect result within imperfection.
"May I ask, young Onmyoji, is your sole purpose in coming here solely for the Reizei Shrine?"
"And not for the upcoming Thousand Views Festival?"
The strange atmosphere was broken by the village chief, Ge Cun.
As an elder, he possessed a composure and insight beyond that of ordinary residents.
Whether the other party was a bloodthirsty monster capable of transforming into human form as rumored, or one of the noble Onmyoji serving in Kyoto, he naturally could not confirm.
However, at this moment, with the newcomer having already tested the waters, using "Onmyoji" as a respectful title is undoubtedly more pleasing to the ear than constantly referring to him as a "monster."
This way, it won't excessively provoke the former, after all, the other party's strange ability can be used countless times.
"Well, I'm not interested in your boring game."
Huang spoke frankly and without reservation.
Such words not only slightly eased the tension on Katsura's face, but also cast a shadow over Yatogami, who was still disguised as an ordinary human.
