Lin Mengya pinched the small colored ball in her hand and narrowed her eyes.
"I didn't expect that it would be a drama where the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind."
Long Tianhao also looked serious.
The two of them had a tacit understanding.
Basically, without any conversation, they decided to go out and have a look.
There was a small courtyard in the venue. There was no name, but a plaque hung on the door. There was a white crescent on it, representing the Crescent Lake.
Under normal circumstances, this place would not be open except for sacrificial activities.
Although the Chief Elder had died, this place was still deserted and almost no one could be seen.
The two people should be in charge of decorating the venue.
Therefore, Lin Mengya saw them bringing their tools to a small storage room for tools.
The two of them probably didn't expect that there would be someone following behind them.
Therefore, the two of them were ready to leave after putting the tools in the room.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a man in black suddenly appeared.
Lin Mengya and Long Tianhao were also startled.
As they looked on, they saw that the man in black directly attacked the two of them!
Without much time to think, Lin Mengya and Long Tianhao almost attacked at the same time.
Although Lin Mengya's crossbow was short, its lethality could not be underestimated and it was fast. Even a master would not be able to dodge it without any preparation.
Long Tianhao also pulled out the short knife in his sleeve.
Since he could not use too much strength in his legs, he focused on practicing a set of martial arts that was most suitable for close combat.
He had a good psychological quality and the set of martial arts was really powerful.
The short knife was like an extension of his arm. With a wave of his hand, he could easily take someone's life.
The man in black was sneakily attacked by Lin Mengya's crossbow and was injured in the back.
Now the appearance of Long Tianhao made it even more difficult for him to resist.
After a few rounds, he was already at a disadvantage.
Even so, the man in black still wanted to kill the two people.
"Hurry up and run!"
Lin Mengya shouted coldly to remind the two of them.
The two of them were also scared out of their wits. At this moment, they stumbled out holding each other.
Obviously, the man in black did not expect that he would encounter these two big troubles when he was just here to kill someone.
He immediately wanted to retreat.
However, Long Tianhao did not use his killing move. Instead, he deliberately showed his opponent a flaw. After that, he let the heavily injured man in black go.
Of course, the man in black would probably think that he had risked his life to escape.
Seeing that he had left, Lin Mengya walked up to her husband.
"There will be people following him outside."
Long Tianhao lowered his voice and explained to Lin Mengya.
"Yes."
She knew it.
Her man was definitely not a soft-hearted person.
They probably wanted to follow the clues and find the person behind the scenes.
Seeing that they had found what they wanted to find, and also accidentally bumped into this matter, the two of them had no reason to continue staying, so they went home.
Unexpectedly, not only did the ancient clansmen not leave, but they also knelt at the entrance of the small courtyard where they were temporarily staying and prayed sincerely.
This scene made Lin Mengya's head go numb.
"Are they going to worship me like a Bodhisattva?"
She didn't want to go out at all.
Seriously.
She could not accept burning incense and kowtowing to a living person. She had a feeling that she might not be able to live for long.
Moreover, there was something strange about this matter.
"It's the first time in my life that I've encountered such a situation, let alone you."
Aunt Fang also had a helpless expression.
She had originally wanted to go out and comfort the people, but no matter how she persuaded them, they wouldn't give up. They insisted that Gong Ya was the chosen priest.
However, this time, they learned their lesson and didn't make a fuss. Instead, they said good things about Gong Ya and asked her to become their priest.
Lin Mengya looked even more hopeless after hearing this.
At this moment, Uncle Huo appeared in front of everyone with a sullen face.
When Aunt Fang saw him, she immediately went up to him and asked, "What did they say?"
Uncle Huo sighed and shook his head. "I went to see Supervisor Chang of the secret meeting, but I didn't expect him to want Gong Ya to become the priest. He also wanted me to persuade him."
However, Lin Mengya felt that Uncle Huo was looking at her with some worry in his eyes.
She glanced at Auntie Fang again and suddenly realized what was going on.
There must be something else, but he was afraid that Aunt Fang would be worried about it.
The old love between these two was really suffocating.
Fortunately, she was smart enough to use the two babies to successfully lure Aunt Fang away.
Looking at Aunt Fang's leaving figure, Uncle Huo sighed helplessly. "If it doesn't work, our family will secretly run away."
"Uncle Huo, what's wrong?"
Uncle Huo's expression also made Lin Mengya's heart rise.
In fact, if she hadn't been set up by someone with evil intentions, she wouldn't have minded being the priest if she didn't know why the other party wanted her to be the priest.
After all, in this case, she would be able to treat Baby Moyan at home.
At first, she even mistakenly thought that this was Yue Zhengzixiu's plan.
Until the person who had been passing the message between her and Yue Zhengzixiu appeared and brought Yue Zhengzixiu's words.
He had repeatedly warned her not to accept the position of the Priestess easily.
It was best to wait until he found out the truth before making a decision.
Therefore, she wanted to know what the other party's purpose was.
Now it seemed that it was really not simple!
Uncle Huo's brows were tightly knitted together, and he said with a serious face, "The center of the Crescent Lake was originally completely dry. But just last night, a lot of lake water suddenly emerged from it. "
"So some people say that the reason why you were chosen this time is probably the will of the lake god."
Hearing this, Lin Mengya blinked her eyes. "So, Uncle Huo, where is the place where the aboriginals hold the sacrificial ceremony?"
"It's in the center of the lake, but it used to be dry, so no accidents happened," Uncle Huo said truthfully.
"Tsk!" Lin Mengya shrugged. "See, I told you. They tried so hard to make me the chosen priest, I'm afraid that they wanted me to sacrifice to the lake god! So, feudal superstition is unacceptable! How can a living person like me be the wife of the lake god? "
Speaking of this, Lin Mengya couldn't help but think of a text she had learned in the modern world.
At that time, her teacher said that marrying the wives of the lake god and the sea god was a feudal bad custom.
Besides, she felt that it was right.
If there really was a deity, he would have to choose a wife carefully, right?
If he became a deity, would he still have to be arranged by his believers?
Then this "deity" would be too embarrassing.
Not to mention that she was not only a married woman, but also a mother of three children.
If the lake god wanted to make a move on her, wouldn't the lake god be too immoral?
Uncle Huo agreed, but he nodded. He realized that Gong Ya didn't seem to be as anxious as he thought.
Instead, it seemed that it had nothing to do with her. He immediately asked, "Do you know something inside?"
Lin Mengya didn't want Uncle Huo to continue to be so anxious. She smiled and handed the two things that she had been keeping close to her to Uncle Huo.
"This is … the ball of joy, and what is this?"
The aboriginals called the colored ball of joy, and the small tripod was called the bridal chamber.
To put it bluntly, it was still the method of marrying the lake god. But because the lake had dried up, they turned it into a sacrificial ceremony.
Lin Mengya explained it to him, and also told him about the two people and the man in black they met.
"In that case, someone actually borrowed the hands of those two people and swapped your name with this name?"
Uncle Huo immediately understood.
Lin Mengya nodded.
Uncle Huo's brows relaxed a little.
"If there are these two things, then it can indeed prove that someone did something to this matter. But I suggest that you give them to me and let me handle it. "
To put it bluntly, it was because she was an outsider.
Although what she said before was enough to make some smart people afraid of her, it was only a small part of them.
If she directly brought it up, it was very likely that she would be bitten by others.
Sometimes, she was also very helpless.
But this kind of phenomenon was also common in some extremely xenophobic places.
Foreigners, this was the original sin of being wronged and framed.
Even in modern times, this kind of phenomenon still existed, didn't it?
Therefore, in order to make the best use of the evidence, it was better to hand it to Uncle Huo and let him handle it with the identity of "Zhao Yixuan".
Uncle Huo gave her a few more reminders, telling her to be patient and not to go out. She should just wait for his news.
Lin Mengya naturally agreed to it.
After seeing off Uncle Huo, who was in a hurry, Lin Mengya turned around and went back to her room.
Then, there was also news from Long Tianhao.
"Those two people are from the Wang family."
After saying this, Lin Mengya felt that her husband's face seemed to be a little angry.
So she took the initiative to give herself to him and rubbed herself in his arms.
"You know this Wang family?"
"Yes, he came to visit me before and wanted to talk about cooperation. That time, it was his daughter who offended you. "
"Oh, it's her!"
Lin Mengya then remembered.
She was indeed a very pure and delicate little girl, but her little Fubao's situation was a little special. Under normal circumstances, she could not let outsiders get close to little Fubao.
Therefore, she was particularly harsh to the little girl.
Unexpectedly, those two people were bought by her father.
"He's doing this because he wants his daughter to smoothly become a priestess, right?" She continued to speak.
After all, the Wang family seemed to have always wanted to strengthen their family power.
"After the two people returned, they were poisoned to death."
