From the Late Qing Dynasty to the 21st Century

Chapter 148 Yan Village, Ma Liu

After realizing that there might be terrible things in the temple, Shen Luoxing no longer planned to go to the temple to participate in the gathering. In addition, now that he heard the word "sacrifice", Shen Luoxing, who had an in-depth understanding of the principle of the power of the sacrifice, and knew the harm that the sacrifice would cause to the participants, was even more reluctant to go.

This absolutely unsafe place, as Shen Luoxing's way to protect himself in the dark, has completely blacklisted it.

But if you don't go to the temple fair, then what will you do in the dark day soon?

Suddenly, Shen Luoxing was in trouble.

After thinking about it for a while, Shen Luoxing decided to go to the village outside the city to find a resident who enshrined the statue to spend the night.

First, he rode his little wild horse again, and slowly came to the city gate. Because of the coming of the temple, most of the people went to the temple, and now there were only three soldiers guarding the city.

"Dark sky is coming soon, do you still want to go out?"

One of the city guards saw that Shen Luoxing wanted to leave the city gate, so he didn't forget to remind him.

"Don't worry, I just went out to do something, and I will be back soon."

Shen Luoxing, who was riding a horse, waved his hand, and then went straight out of the city gate.

"It's really interesting. The divine meeting is about to start, and the dark sky is about to fall. This person even wants to run out. If he can't come back by then, he will suffer."

"Never mind him, if he wants to go out to seek death, can you stop him?"

The other two gatekeepers standing on the tower also commented on Shen Luoxing.

When he was in the city, Shen Luoxing had already determined his destination this time.

It was a village named Yan, which was located less than 200 miles away from Hengcheng. The size of the village was about 100 households and about 400 people. Compared with Hengcheng, it was completely different.

It was only two miles away from the city gate, just in case, Shen Luoxing directly used the power of his soul to erase all traces of himself after he left the city, so as to prevent being found by the existence in the temple.

Incarnated as the wild king again, Shen Luoxing hunted some wild game in the forest not far away, and hung them on both sides of the horse.

When the time of day changed one day before the arrival of the dark sky, Shen Luoxing came to the fork road at the entrance of Yan Village.

On the road at the entrance of the village, there were seven or eight pedestrians carrying farm tools, all of whom should be villagers from Yan Village, so Shen Luoxing stepped forward to say hello.

"This old man, I am a hunter from another village. I went hunting in the mountains a few days ago and lost my way accidentally. I just came out now, but the darkness is coming, and I have no time to return to my home. I wonder if I can stay at your place for a while. I can share some of the prey I hunted."

The farmer who was stopped was not happy at first, but after he glanced at the deer, muntjac, pheasant, hare hanging on both sides of the horse behind Shen Luoxing, and the wild boar hanging behind it in a net woven from vines.

Swallowing the saliva that had welled up to his throat, the farmer immediately put on a smiling face.

"Big Brother, what are you talking about? They are all citizens of the Bai Kingdom, and they should help each other, isn't that the right thing to do?"

"Come, come, my family is right here. Big brother, you just hunted these wild animals, right? To tell you the truth, my ancestors were actually hunters, but the hunting skills have been passed down to me now, and the hunting skills have almost been lost. However, when it comes to the means of concocting prey, I, Ma Liu, will be the second, and no one will dare to be the first."

"The black sky is coming, and these prey must be processed before the black sky. Big brother, you must be too late by yourself, why don't you let me help you."

While bragging about himself, Ma Liu happily took Shen Luoxing's horse and walked towards his house.

Watching a great transformation live, Shen Luoxing shook his head, and could only sigh that the young people nowadays really don't have old hearts.

However, Ma Liu does not seem to be bragging. Judging from the few hunting bows placed in his house, his family used to be a hunter, and judging from Ma Liu's craftsmanship in concocting prey, there are indeed two brushes in it.

It took almost a whole day and time for Ma Liu to process all the prey to his heart's content.

Under Shen Luoxing's signal, Ma Liu took a wild boar leg and hung it in his kitchen, and then took another piece of pork with the grain he got from farming, and cooked a sumptuous meal.

Not to mention, in the same environment as the ancient society, the culinary skills of single men are all excellent. From Shen Luoxing's point of view, Ma Liu's cooking skills are more than enough to be a cook in an ordinary restaurant on earth.

After the two of them had settled all the food for half the table, the outside of the house suddenly became silent, and the dark sky finally came.

After tidying up the bowls and chopsticks, Ma Liu arranged a decent room for Shen Luoxing, then went to the room where the statue was enshrined, and put three sticks of incense on the statue.

Different from the elderly people I met at the beginning, the statue enshrined in Maliu is a judge with a stylus in one hand and a scroll in his hand.

Obviously, it is closer to the big city, even if the status in the village is not as good as that of the old man, Ma Liu can enshrine a statue of a higher level than the old man.

After the offering, Ma Liu lit a candle in the lobby for lighting. In the past, no one could talk to Ma Liu when darkness fell, so Ma Liu took out the few books left by the old man in his home as usual to pass the time.

Because these books have been read repeatedly by Ma Liu all the year round, the covers of the books have long been worn out, and even the titles have become fragmented. After careful observation, it is only possible to slightly discover that there is a word "Ji" in them.

As the candles continued to get shorter, Ma Liu had almost finished the first book, but at this time, Shen Luoxing discovered something worth noting.

Opening the door and making a sleepy look, Shen Luoxing asked softly:

"Brother Ma Liu, why haven't you rested yet?"

"Oh, it's Brother Shen. I'm not too sleepy yet. I'll go to rest after I finish reading this book."

"Oh, Brother Ma Liu, you can still read? But I don't know what kind of book this is?"

"Ham, how can I read? I read this book just to see the illustrations on it. These books were handed down by my ancestors. When the dark day came, I was bored alone, so I turned it out."

Hearing Shen Luoxing's words, Ma Liu spread his hands.

"Okay, I'm done reading the book, and I'm going to rest too."

After a while, Ma Liu, who had turned the book to the last page, put down the book in his hand, greeted Shen Luoxing, and walked back to his room.

Shen Luoxing saw that the other party had gone back to his room to rest, so he sat where Ma Liu was sitting just now, and flipped through the book on the table by the light.

This book is indeed full of pictures and texts. After only turning over a dozen pages, Shen Luoxing confirmed that what this book records happened in the era of the Five Emperors a million years ago.

Moreover, the history of this book is quite long, perhaps because of the material of the book and the reason for its preservation. Since the book was written, it has been at least nearly ten thousand years old.
