Chapter 860 Sacrifice to the Sea
The moonlight shone lightly and enveloped the fishing village, making it look particularly eerie and strange.
The fishing village that appeared out of thin air made me uneasy.
Who wants to bring me and Xu Tianxuan into this?
"Come on, let's go in and take a look."
Xu Tianxuan said lightly.
I nodded and immediately entered the fishing village.
In the fishing village, old boats and mottled old fishing nets are scattered, and the air is filled with a disgusting smell of fish.
The whole village was quiet, and no sound could be heard. It was so quiet that people felt panicked.
At this moment, the little girl who was following me instinctively felt fear. She said to me: "Big...brother, this was not like this just now...will my mother not be here anymore? Or, Did she go somewhere else to wait for me?"
The little girl's words prove that she really doesn't know anything.
Just looking for my mother.
I smiled at the little girl and said, "Don't be afraid, we will definitely find your mother."
The little girl was very good and nodded towards me.
We continued deeper, and after much hesitation, I came to a fisherman's house and opened the courtyard door.
There were various fishing props placed in the yard. When I opened the door, I saw no one.
Just when Xu Tianxuan, the little girl and I were about to leave here, there was a sudden roar of firecrackers in our ears.
The noisy firecrackers were particularly harsh in the silent night.
I looked at myself and rushed towards the direction where the sound of firecrackers came from.
Soon, we arrived at the southeast corner of the village, facing the sea, where we found a large fishing village ancestral hall.
Outside the ancestral hall, red silk was floating. Outside the ancestral hall, there were more than a dozen wooden tables. On the wooden tables, pig heads, chickens, carp, big steamed buns and other sacrifices were placed.
Especially the big carp placed on the table in the front is as big as a medium-sized pig.
This is... a sea sacrifice? !
A fisherman's culture and folk cultural activities with unique regional characteristics created by fishermen in their long life of farming, sea husbandry and fishing.
Sacrifice to the sea is a folk religious belief. Before fishermen go out to sea, they must first sacrifice to the gods on the boat and burn the ultimatum, commonly known as "executive documents". Then the boss throws the wine in the cup and the meat on the plate into the sea, saying it as a "reward for the wandering soul", so that he can go out fishing safely.
The fishing village that suddenly appeared was still holding a sea sacrifice ceremony.
But why... not even a single figure was seen.
Not to mention human figures, not even ghost figures were seen.
Xu Tianxuan came to a wooden board. I looked at the wooden board and was slightly stunned.
That one was an ordinary wooden board, but a coffin board.
I came to Xu Tianxuan and asked, "Master, why is there a coffin board placed here?"
Xu Tianxuan explained: "This coffin board is called "Taipingfang". When fishermen are fishing in the sea, they are likely to be swallowed by huge waves or encounter other troubles and die in the sea. Being buried in the sea is a taboo for fishermen, so Put a coffin board in order to ensure peace and tranquility. If you die, you must die at home so that you can "be buried in peace."
I suddenly realized that this coffin board was for safety.
Xu Tianxuan pondered for a moment and then said: "When we leave the fishing village, take away this coffin board, or cut it off into a small section. When we get on the ghost ship, there will be unexpected effects."
I nodded in agreement. At this moment, I suddenly felt like someone was watching me secretly. I turned around suddenly, and what I saw made me freeze in place.
