Chapter 97
Although Yanjun is near the sea, few people come to Houhai area.

There are rows of fishing boats on the surface of Houhai. Since this area has not been developed into a scenic spot, except for the nearby fishing villages near the sea, few locals go there.

Even if there are foreign tourists, most of them go to experience the fisherman's joy, after all, there is really not much scenery in that area.

What's more, it was already four o'clock in the morning, and there was no one around Houhai, so Li Guowei was puzzled, what kind of medicine was sold in Feng Yun's gourd?

The officers and soldiers under Feng Yun arrived after the five arrived. Feng Yun had been waiting here for a long time.

"Immediately form a line of defense in this area, with everyone's back facing the back sea.

No one is allowed to enter, and you are not allowed to turn around when you hear any sound. "

The reason why Li Guowei was able to get the news was because Feng Yun mobilized many officers and soldiers.

The officers and soldiers nodded after hearing the words, and then began to divide and position step by step to form a line of defense.

Although it had been informed that there was a mission tonight, no one could figure out what happened.

In particular, Houhai is considered a place where birds don't shit. It's really incredible to come here at four o'clock in the morning.

It's also fortunate that Fatty and the others put the coffin near the sea, so the officers and soldiers couldn't see it, otherwise they would definitely be even more puzzled.

The Houhai area is mostly a fishing village, far away from the city, and has not been developed for the time being.

This can be said to be the most authentic appearance of Yanjun in the early years. Since ancient times, Yanjun was born by the sea, and most of them lived in this kind of fishing village.

After the soldiers formed a defensive line, Feng Yun came in front of Fatty and the others.

Obviously, Feng Yun was aware of the doubts in Fatty's and the others' hearts, so he outlined what he was going to do next.

Sea festivals are not unfamiliar to people who live near the sea, and there have been such customs since ancient times.

Every specific day, people by the sea will hold a ceremony to sacrifice to the Dragon King. In the early years, they were influenced by witchcraft, and even had the bad habit of offering virgins.

However, most of the ceremonies of offering sacrifices to the Dragon King take place in the north of Dayan, while in the south of Dayan, they usually offer sacrifices to Mazu, praying for good weather and safe going to sea in the coming year.

But the sea sacrifice that Feng Yun is going to hold is not a sacrifice to the Dragon King, nor is it a sacrifice to Mazu.

Instead, the ceremony of the sea sacrifice is used to commemorate the soldiers of the Song Dynasty who died in battle, so as to eliminate Zhao Hu's obsession.

After figuring out what happened to Zhao Husheng, Feng Yun understood why the zombies were transported to the polling bureau, but strange things continued to happen on the construction site.

What is really causing trouble is the obsession in the zombie's heart, which is also the difference between a demon and a demon.

The demon cultivator is inner alchemy, while the demon cultivator is one thought.

Those who can become demons are mostly created by nature, have spirits and gods.

Such as flowers and trees, birds, animals, fish and insects.

But those who can become demons are mostly non-spirited beings, and they can become demons only by indestructible thoughts.

Therefore, unlike the demon, the stronger the demon's obsession, the stronger the power, and the greater the impact it can have on the surroundings.

And this zombie is a kind of corpse demon, so if we want to properly resolve this matter, we must start from the root cause, which is to eliminate the obsession in Zhao Hu's heart.

Under Feng Yun's narration, several people finally understood what he wanted to do.

Since Zhao Xue was not a member of the Polling Bureau, Feng Yun could only let her watch from a distance, and could not actually participate in the ceremony.

But even so, Zhao Xue still looked at Feng Yun and the others curiously.

I saw them take paper figurines out of the car continuously, and put them on the left and right sides covered with white cloth.

Then the fat man found a broken table nearby, and temporarily spread a yellow cloth on it to serve as an altar.

Common items such as incense burner, cinnabar, writing brush, and yellow paper were all placed on the altar one by one by the fat man.

And the pair of paper figurines were placed on the left and right of the altar, which looked like two guards.

Zhao Xue could only see that Feng Yun was talking to the fat man and the three of them, and the three of them nodded in agreement very seriously.

Seeing that everything had been arranged properly, the fat man took another cloth bag from the car.

Open the cloth bag, and there are several masks inside.

These masks all have green faces and fangs, and they look ugly.

"What is this?"

The fat man looked at the mask in front of him with some disgust, but he didn't know that it was also an important part of the ceremony.

Wearing a mask as a yaksha means that gods and ghosts stay away during the ceremony and don't disturb them.

This ugly yaksha mask can be seen in almost all folk ceremonies.

In people's minds, Yaksha is not a mascot, but it can scare away evil spirits from all directions during the ceremony, so as to ensure the smooth progress of the ceremony.

After Feng Yun lit three sticks of incense and worshiped in all directions, and then inserted the three sticks of incense into the incense burner, the ceremony began.

Fatty, Yan Qilin and Ma Ling'er put on masks and white clothes like mourning clothes, and stood behind Feng Yun.

This scene really looked a little weird in the dark night, and the starlight of the three sticks of incense was faintly visible in the darkness.

Feng Yun held a handful of yellow paper in his hand. After lighting it, he circled the two paper figurines twice, then looked at the fat man, and said in a strange tone:
"Lifting the coffin..."

The fat man was wearing a Rakshasa mask, walked to the front of the coffin, then opened the lid of the coffin, held the talisman between his fingers and lifted it lightly, and the zombie stood up from the coffin in a daze.

Holding a cinnabar brush in his hand, Feng Yun walked in front of the zombie while singing a weird accent.

"A little bit of cinnabar burns between the eyebrows, and the five elements of yin and yang are connected together."

"Two dots of cinnabar burn my heart, and the sound of the bell summons ghosts and supernatural powers!"

As Feng Yun spoke, he touched the cinnabar between the eyebrows and the heart of the zombie, and then he tore off the corpse-suppressing talisman attached to the zombie's forehead.

In an instant, the zombie's eyes were flooded with green light, and then he wanted to attack Feng Yun in front of him insanely.

Seeing this, the fat man was about to step forward, but he found that Feng Yun was clearly prepared.

Feng Yun turned back and pulled out the middlemost incense from the incense burner, and inserted it into the zombie's mouth accurately.

Immediately, the zombie froze as if in a daze.

Feng Yun held the incense with his sword fingers, and gently pulled it forward, and the zombie followed Feng Yun very cooperatively.

Fatty and the others looked at this scene in surprise, they didn't know that Feng Yun's method was called "Lingsuo" in ancient Xiangcheng area.

It is to use incense to lock the resentment in the corpse, so as to achieve the effect of temporary control.

Under Feng Yun's leadership, the zombies quickly came to the Fatai, facing the sea, motionless.

Then Feng Yun returned to the Fatai, looked at Yan Qilin beside him and nodded.

Yan Qilin understood, and quickly lit two white candles in his hand, and placed them on the altar, one on the left and one on the right.

Feng Yun picked up a grain of rice from the bowl next to him with his index and middle fingers, and after standing on the cinnabar, he quickly brushed across the flame on the candle.

Zhao Xue's eyes widened in surprise, only to see that the white rice was covered with flames in Feng Yun's hand.

From a distance, it looked as if Feng Yun had picked up a wisp of flame from the candle just now.

With a flick of Feng Yun's wrist, the flame quickly fell into the iron basin, and in an instant, the yellow paper in the iron basin was ignited one after another.

Under the light of the fire, Feng Yun's face appeared clear.

Half of the cheeks are illuminated by the firelight, while the other half is hidden in the darkness, giving people a feeling of both good and evil.

Soon, Feng Yun put on a strange black robe, without any patterns on the large sleeves of the toga.

In this pitch-black environment, Feng Yun seemed to blend in with the surroundings, only his hands were faintly visible.

As time passed by, at the moment when the hands pointed to twelve o'clock, Feng Yun yelled in an indistinguishable yin and yang tone:
"The auspicious time has come, let's sacrifice!"

Just as Feng Yun's words fell, an unknown gust of wind rushed towards his face.

The yellow paper in the iron basin had been burned to ashes at this time, and in this nameless wind, black paper ashes swirled up, and many of them stuck to Yan Qilin and the others.

……

At this moment, a military vehicle stopped in the distance.

Li Guowei, who just got out of the car, heard Feng Yun's strange voice.

Li Guowei looked for the sound and looked into the distance, only to see the fire lingering in the darkness, as well as Feng Yun and others who were dressed strangely.

With doubts, Li Guowei walked towards this side quickly, and then saw the officers and soldiers forming the defense line.

The moment they saw Li Guowei, the officers and soldiers clasped their fists in salute, and Li Guowei looked at the officers and soldiers closest to him and asked:

"What is Chief Feng doing?"

In response, the officers and soldiers quickly shook their heads:
"General Soldier, Director Feng ordered that no one should turn around. Therefore, we don't know anything..."

Li Guowei frowned, and walked sideways beside the officers and soldiers.

This is the general soldier, how can anyone dare to stop him?
Li Guowei walked forward suspiciously, but he didn't notice that as a gust of wind blew by, his body was also stained with a little yellow paper ashes.

Not far from Feng Yun, Li Guowei stopped. This strange scene made him feel confused.

Since Feng Yun specially dispatched officers and soldiers from the military mansion, it was to seal off the scene and prevent others from approaching.

Naturally, Li Guowei was also worried that Feng Yun and the others would be disturbed by his rash approach.

Therefore, Li Guowei quickly stood still, but he soon discovered that there seemed to be one more person among these few people.

Feng Yun, Yan Qilin, Fatty, Ma Linger...

Li Guowei knew about these four people, but there were obviously five figures in front of them at this time.

The extra figure had been standing there in a daze since just now.

If you don't look carefully, you won't even notice that it's a human figure.

Who is that person?

Li Guowei looked at the black shadow suspiciously, thinking in his heart.

He naturally didn't know that this extra figure was the protagonist of this sea festival...

One thing Feng Yun didn't mention to Yan Qilin and the others was that the sea sacrifice he held was actually somewhat different from what he said.

Since ancient times, there has indeed been a custom of worshiping the Dragon King in the north and Mazu in the south.

But looking around, no matter where the sea sacrifice ceremony is held, it is always in the morning, never at night.

However, Feng Yun specifically chose Zishi Shifen, because this sea festival was not an ordinary sea festival from the very beginning.

At this time, Feng Yun's tone became more and more weird, and the voices he sang were intermittent, some of them could be understood, and some of them even Fatty and the others didn't know what Feng Yun was talking about.

Soon, Feng Yun asked Fatty and Yan Qilin to hug a paper figurine each.

Red men and green women, together with the two piercing red spots in the eyes, always give people an indescribably weird feeling.

Looking at the two paper figurines in front of them, what none of them expected was that Feng Yun actually cut his fingertips with a knife, and after that, the two red dots where the eyes were originally were were once again smudged.

After doing all this, Feng Yun hooked his hands again, and Ma Ling'er, who was holding a paper scalper not far away, hurried over and placed the paper scalper in front of Feng Yun.

Feng Yun put the two paper figurines one behind the other on the back of the blind ox, and then circled the ox three times, muttering something while circling:
"The scalper opens the way, and the paper man welcomes you. The visitor is a guest, so I welcome you from afar..."

When the words fell, an extra charm appeared in Feng Yun's hand at some point.

With a flick of his wrist, the spell ignited flames the moment it landed on the scalper.

The two paper figurines and the paper scalper were quickly burned to ashes in the flames. Yan Qilin and the others looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing why Feng Yun did this.

However, at this moment, Ma Ling'er suddenly kept patting the fat man next to her.

The fat man looked at Ma Ling'er blankly, only to find that her eyes were wide open and her face was full of astonishment.

This made the fat man quickly follow Ma Linger's line of sight, and it didn't matter if he looked at it, so the fat man kept rubbing his eyes.

Beside Feng Yun, where the paper figurines and paper scalpers were originally, there were several half-real figures at this moment.

It was an old scalper, and there were two children on the back of the old scalper. One was dressed in red and the other was dressed in green. Their cheeks were flushed, just like the paper man.

Whether it is these two children or the old scalper, they are all faintly visible, and it is precisely because of this that the fat man feels that he is hallucinating.

"Moo-moo-"

"Cuckoo~"

But at this moment, the fat man not only heard the call of the scalper, but even heard the laughter of two children.

The voice seemed particularly penetrating in the pitch-dark environment.

Li Guowei, who was standing in the distance, also widened his eyes at this moment, and he said to the guard who had been following him in astonishment:
"Did you see that there was a cow and two little kids?"

The guard said blankly:

"Chief soldier, are you talking about the paper sticks from earlier? Didn't they get burned by the director general? How can there be scalpers and children?"

Hearing this, Li Guowei took a deep breath.

Thinking back to the scene where he saw Brother Pingtou on Liuhuo Avenue, Li Guowei knew that this was not an illusion.

But if it's not an illusion, why can only you see it?

Li Guowei, who was in doubt, didn't notice that there was still paper dust blown by the wind on his shoulders.

And the guard next to him was clean, nothing.

At this time, under the astonished gaze of everyone, Huang Niu Xuying dragged the two children and walked towards the sea step by step.

In the sea, the scalper was still walking on flat ground. Although he was blind, the two children were clearly pointing the direction for the scalper, making the scalper walk forward step by step, and gradually disappeared in the eyes of everyone.

"Director, what happened just now? Those scalpers and children are the paper scalpers and paper figurines we got?"

Facing Fatty's question, Feng Yun nodded lightly:
"You all have yellow paper dust on your body, so you can see yin and yang.

The two children had already rode the oxen to welcome the guests. Get ready, the most important stage of the ceremony will begin soon. "

Fatty and the others suddenly realized, no wonder they suddenly saw such a strange scene.

In fact, there have always been various sayings about yellow paper in ancient folk. For example, when burning paper, you need to draw a circle on the ground and silently read the name of the deceased, saying that the paper money can only be owned by this person.

But in fact, this is not the way to draw circles on the ground at first, but evolved from the folk themselves.

In fact, drawing circles on the ground is imitating Zhou Wenwang's painting of the ground as a prison, so as to firmly imprison the power of yellow paper that can communicate yin and yang.

In this way, even if the body is covered with paper dust, it will not blind the naked eye and open the sky eye.

In addition to this statement, ancient folks have always been more concerned about yellow paper dust.

If traces of burnt paper are seen on the ground, the elders in the family will always tell the children not to step on these traces.

Otherwise, some unclean things may be brought home and haunted.

Most people's attitudes towards these statements are just talking nonsense and just listening to them.

But what Feng Yun did at this time confirmed all of this.

It is worth noting that Zhao Xue, who has been standing in the distance and looking curiously at this side, is not stained with paper dust.

But at this moment, her face was filled with the same astonishment as that of Fatty and the others just now.

Her gaze first fell on Su Yun's side, and then gradually moved towards the sea, which was almost exactly the same route as the scalper.

Obviously, she can see.

"Jingle bell... Jingle bell..."

At this moment, Feng Yun picked up the hand bell that had been placed on the table all the time, and he pressed it three times and lightened it three times regularly, and the bell continued to ring.

Feng Yun stepped back while shaking, Fatty and Yan Qilin saw this, quickly took out some food and put it on the altar.

As the saying goes:
The three sticks of incense are in the center, and the sacrifices are arranged on both sides.

Customers passing by can taste it, and take the news to go all directions.

"call……"

At this time, there was a sudden strong wind on the sea, and gusts of salty and wet wind rushed in, making Fatty and the others feel a little bit unable to open their eyes.

Strange to say, there was obviously a strong wind, but white mist slowly condensed on the surface of the sea. The white mist did not dissipate in the wind, but became thicker and thicker.

"Hahahaha……"

In a trance, the child's laughter came from the dense night again, and the sound came from far to near, which seemed extraordinarily empty in this environment.

But after Feng Yun heard the child's laughter, he nodded in relief and let out a long breath.

"The guests have arrived."

 Five hundred monthly tickets plus more chapters.
