Chapter 75 The Legend of God
For some reason, the Wolf God was lying in the cave, seemingly sleeping.

But upon noticing the footsteps of the two men, it immediately stood up and entered a fighting stance.

"...Wolf God?"

Seeing the Wolf God again, Xi Yun couldn't help but be stunned, but she didn't forget her purpose of coming here and said hurriedly:
"Wait a minute, Wolf God! I have something to tell you!"

However, the wolf god didn't look at her again. The wolf god's attention was entirely on Xiao Yi.There was a hint of fear in its red eyes.

Then, at a speed that was difficult to catch with the naked eye, the wolf god immediately passed by the two of them and escaped from the cave.

"...It's gone." Xi Yun couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, "At that speed, we definitely can't catch up. However, there must be a reason why the Wolf God appears here. Xiao Yi, let's go," said the Ancestral Temple Maybe it’s inside.”

Xiao Yi nodded and continued to explore the inside of the cave with Xi Yun.

After walking down a slight slope, they immediately saw a heavy wooden door engraved with ancient patterns bolted into the cave. There was no doubt that it was the main entrance of the Ancestral Temple!

In the center of the ancestral hall is a huge altar, which is made of uncarved rough stone and has many tablets placed on it.

The people represented by the names on these tablets all died because of the carnival.

"Is this the Ancestral Temple? But...it doesn't seem to be anything special." Xi Yun used some light to look for something that might be useful inside.

Soon, she found a pile of withered papers and books scattered on a stone platform.Among them, there is a stack of books and papers that are the thickest and very neat. It seems that someone has tidied them intentionally!
"Xiao Yi! Come here quickly!" Xi Yun shouted hurriedly: "Light up this place with a lantern."

Xiao Yi rushed over immediately, placed the lantern on the stone platform, and asked, "What did you find?"

"Look." Xi Yun picked up the pile of papers, "There is no dust on this stone platform. Someone must have cleaned it not long ago. Plus this stack of neatly organized papers, I can be sure that my mother-in-law has been here!"

"So that means?"

"Well, my mother-in-law must have been sorting out this stack of papers in the end. In other words, there are some important clues hidden in it!" Xi Yun immediately flipped through a few pages and then beamed, "This is it! Our village has been here since ancient times. A record of every carnival held since then!”

This stack of paper is either a few pages, or a book in which part of the content is selectively torn off and stacked together in a certain order.Page one, starting with the first orgy.

However, as soon as Xi Yun flipped through a few pages, he couldn't help but be stunned.

"The first carnival...there is no record related to the Wolf God?"

"What does this mean?" Xiao Yi asked.

"The carnival exists because of the Wolf God, but... the reason for the first carnival was to offer sacrifices to a god named Xunyue God!"

"God Xunyue? Why did another god appear?"

"Wait a moment." Xi Yun began to talk about the content seriously from the beginning: "All this starts with the establishment of the village. At that time, people were in awe of the mountains and nature, thinking that the endless In the mountains, there is a god named Sundae God. Sundae God controls everything in the mountains. The food people can get from the mountains is the charity of Sundae God, so people worship and worship Sundae God. God does not dare to cross the territory of Sunda Mountain God, but only dares to build the village at the foot of the mountain."

"But later, war and famine struck together. Extreme hunger and hatred for the invaders finally made people gradually become crazy, and even began to eat people. People also gave up their respect for the Sunda God. To escape the war and to obtain food from the mountains, people began to move into the mountains, and this is the origin of our village."

"But soon, God Xunyue punished the disrespectful people. A rain of blood came, and the corpses of countless beasts fell from the sky, killing several people. But even so, people still couldn't leave the mountains, so in order to calm down In response to the anger of God Xunyue, people started their first carnival."

"Because there is no wolf god, the first carnival is completely different from what we are familiar with. It is... choosing a person to be executed as a sacrifice and sacrificed to the Xunyue God. And the method of selection is fighting. , beating the opponent until he is unable to fight back is considered a victory, and regardless of whether the opponent is a relative or a friend, regardless of whether he is a man, a woman or an old man, once he is determined to be the weakest person in the village, he will be executed. It is different from the current carnival, which is completely abandoned. It is a humane, purely bloody and violent ritual. But it is said that children under the age of fourteen are not sensible, are not qualified, and cannot participate in the carnival, so they will be driven out of the village during the carnival."

"The second carnival was held eleven days after the first one? So soon? The third carnival was held 24 days after the second carnival. . Why are you in such a hurry? It's like... rushing to open it again without meeting expectations." "During the third banquet, people had been tortured to the point of exhaustion, so they were all very negative. And after that , the carnival ceremony was finally not in a hurry to start again. It was not until more than half a year later that the fourth carnival arrived. However, the fourth carnival was very different from the previous one, because... the wolf god appeared. "

"One day long before the fourth carnival started, a child in the village said that he saw the God of Sunda Mountain being eaten by a wild beast. At first, everyone in the village did not take it seriously, but since then, the villagers have seen a beast several times. The huge white wolf shadow also showed strange abilities. In addition, the Xunyue God never rained blood again, and people finally believed that the Xunyue God was eaten by wild beasts. The villagers speculated that the Xunyue God was because of the hatred in people's hearts. He lost his faith and became weak due to the destruction of the land by war, so he was attacked and eaten by a wild beast. The beast also gained divinity and was called the Wolf God. "

"People believe that as a new god, the Wolf God definitely needs sacrifices to strengthen itself, but it does not have the strength to make everyone surrender, so it will eat someone in the village and pretend to be that person in an attempt to gain the trust of others. And use this to find a way to secretly eat more people. Therefore, the form of the fourth carnival ceremony is to find the wolf god disguised as a human and execute him. The suspicion among people has been questioned... It has become the same as ours now The carnival is somewhat similar, but there are still big differences, especially in terms of legends."

"If the Wolf God is executed during the fourth carnival, blood will rain from the sky again, which indicates that people have won. But the Wolf God will not just die, it will recuperate and come back again in the future. Strange. What’s interesting is that after the appearance of the Wolf God, the frequency of carnivals has decreased a lot, and is only held once every few years or even ten years.”

Then, Xi Yun talked about the several carnivals that followed.Each carnival and the corresponding legend are different, as if seeing that the person who knew the past legend was dead, he started to modify the legend unscrupulously.

The God Xunyue, who was the origin of everything, even disappeared directly, as if he had never existed from the beginning.The god who initially controlled the mountains became the wolf god.

This made Xiao Yi couldn't help but think of what Sherea once told him, that gods and legends of gods were always changing in order to cater to the rulers of the time.

But for what purpose do the legends of the Carnival and the Wolf God change so frequently?
Xiyun continued: "The carnival 57 years ago, which was the first carnival attended by my mother-in-law, was almost the same as the carnival we have today, except that there was no guardian spirit. Then the carnival 39 years ago, and The existence and legend of guardian spirits suddenly appeared. My mother-in-law must have been confused about this, so she has been collecting records about the carnival."

Xi Yun took a cursory glance at the remaining content, which was all supplementary information from the past, as well as some findings written by her mother-in-law herself.

There are still many things that are not clear. For example, the rule documents that exist as a matter of course have no record of the previous carnivals.

Also, the previous carnivals were timeless, but this time the carnival was limited to five days for some reason.

Although Xi Yun wanted to continue the investigation, she estimated that time was almost up.

Xi Yun then looked at Xiao Yi, "Xiao Yi, let's do this for today. After so long, I guess it's getting late, so we'd better go back early. We'll talk about the rest tomorrow."

Xiao Yi nodded, Xi Yun also took the stack of writing paper, and after walking out of the cave with Xiao Yi, they found that the sky had indeed begun to darken.

Xiao Yi and Xi Yun quickened their pace and ran towards the house quickly.

"See you tomorrow." After leaving these words, Xi Yun and Xiao Yi separated.

Then, after some time, the sky became completely dark and everyone began to fall into a deep sleep.

Tonight, Sherea came as usual, but this time he didn't say much, he just asked:

"Also, do you want to move?"

Xiao also replied: "Sleep."

"learn."

Shereya then left.

The night of the third day of the carnival was very quiet. From Xiao Yi's point of view, nothing happened.

However, it was not until the morning of the fourth day of the carnival that Xiao Yi realized that last night was not as peaceful as he thought.

Last night, Xi Yun died.
