Chapter 884 The ritual suddenly failed

\u0026 0+�LThe successor selection ceremony?

It was interesting, so Lin Chen decided to go and take a look.

Wait until the next morning.

As soon as the sky got light, Lin Chen was awakened by the noise outside.

He opened the door and saw many people standing on the road outside.

At a glance, there were dozens of people.

Lin Chen stopped a person and asked him: "What are you going to do?"

"Go to the mountain to participate in the ceremony."

At this time, Zhao Yan and Hong Ling also woke up. When they learned that the ceremony was about to begin, they immediately became energetic.

Lin Chen took two people to join the team and followed the crowd.

After a while, Lin Chen found that these people had left the town and were walking towards a mountain not far from the town.

After climbing the mountain road for more than ten minutes, the team gradually stopped.

After everyone dispersed and stood in place, Lin Chen looked forward and saw a flat land in front of him.

At the end of the flat land was a cliff.

On the cliff grew a crooked pine tree.

Under the pine tree, a statue was sitting cross-legged.

It was a woman, and even though she was a statue, she was very beautiful.

If she were alive, she would definitely be a stunningly beautiful woman.

"Whose statue is that?"

Hongling said with admiration: "She is so beautiful."

Lin Chen glanced at her.

"You are not bad either."

In fact, Hongling was more beautiful than Ba ​​Tianshen.

After hearing this, Hongling's face instantly turned red, and she lowered her head and dared not look up.

Lin Chen explained: "That is Ba Tianshen, find a place to sit."

He found a stone pier and sat down to wait for the ceremony to begin.

Hongling followed him and found a piece of wood to sit down.

Zhao Yan just sat casually, with a nonchalant look on his face.

More than ten minutes later, the medium came up the mountain, but she was not alone, and there was a girl behind her.

The girl looked about sixteen or seventeen years old, with an average appearance, and kept her head down and followed the medium.

Seeing the medium coming, several people wearing white long hats and white robes surrounded the statue.

They all stood in front of the statue.

Waiting for the divine medium to bring the girl to the statue.

Bang.

The girl knelt down, still with her head down.

Lin Chen asked the man next to him: "Did you choose the successors of Ba Tianshen yourself?"

The man saw that Lin Chen was from outside, so he explained: "No."

"The successors were all chosen by Ba Tianshen."

"The chosen ones will experience dizziness, high fever, and constant menstruation."

"If the succession ceremony is held at this time, these diseases will disappear immediately, and the successor will never get sick again."

Lin Chen thought: Strange way of selection.

He is not afraid of killing his successor.

Everyone was present, and the ceremony began.

The divine medium grabbed a handful of white rice and gently sprinkled it on the girl's head.

Then he handed her a bowl of water.

The girl took it and drank it slowly.

But just after the bowl of water was swallowed, the girl's hand loosened.

Clang.

The ceramic bowl was smashed to pieces.

Then the girl's body shook violently.

She covered her stomach, fell to the ground with a pupil, foaming at the mouth, and twitching all over.

This sudden scene made the medium stunned.

"What's going on?"

This was the first time she had seen such a situation.

Decades ago, when she became the heir, this situation did not happen.

Now the girl was in a coma, twitching all over, and foaming at the mouth, and it was impossible to continue the ceremony.

"The ceremony was interrupted!"

The medium said: "Return to the town immediately."

She picked up the girl directly and ran down the mountain in a hurry.

Hongling stood up and asked in surprise: "Brother Lin, what happened?"

Lin Chen said: "Follow them and you will know."

Everyone started to go down the mountain.

Lin Chen walked at the back and found a person who was wearing a white long-sleeved robe.

He asked: "Why was the ceremony interrupted?"

The person who performed the ritual was a man in his fifties. He glanced at Lin Chen and saw that he was unfamiliar. He immediately knew that he was an outsider who came here last night.

The man sighed and explained: "That child rejected Ba Tianshen."

Hong Ling was surprised: "She became like this now, is it a punishment from Ba Tianshen?"

The man shook his head.

"No."

"Ba Tianshen is kind and gentle, she would not do such a thing."

"As for the child's situation, we are not very clear now."

Gentle and kind?

Lin Chen thought: If it is gentle and kind, will it make people have a high fever and continuous menstruation?

Are you really not afraid of people dying from excessive blood loss?

Back in the town, Lin Chen saw the medium holding the girl into a room.

Walking over, the medium was treating the girl.

The treatment method was very strange.

First, put a chopstick in the bowl to support it, and then chanted a spell.

When he let go again, the chopstick actually stood up in the bowl full of water.

The medium hurriedly gave the water to the girl.

Soon, the girl's body stopped shaking.

Hong Ling opened her eyes wide and exclaimed: "Can this cure the disease?"

Lin Chen said: "No."

"If you are sick, you should tell your parents or the doctor."

The medium has the real power of the gods to do this.

If you don't have this power, just take the injections and take the medicine.

Seeing that the girl's condition had stabilized, the medium breathed a sigh of relief, covered the girl with a blanket, and walked out.

"Everyone go back first, we'll talk after the ceremony."

Everyone dispersed quickly.

Only Lin Chen and two people did not leave.

The medium saw Lin Chen and asked: "Do you have anything to do?"

Lin Chen said: "Do you really not need to take medicine? If you need medicine, I have medicine here."

He had a good impression of this medium.

When he first came here, he helped find a house and sent food.

"No need."

The medium smiled tiredly: "She will be well soon."

She made some strange gestures to Lin Chen, and then said: "Thank you, good people will have a peaceful life."

Lin Chen smiled, and then took people back.

After returning to the house, Hongling sat on a stool, propped up her chin and said: "I thought I could see the gods appear, but I didn't expect these things to happen."

Now there is no news about the Ghost Emperor, and I haven't seen Ba Tianshen.

It feels like nothing has been done.

Gulu.

At this moment, her stomach growled.

Hongling's stomach immediately turned red.

She didn't eat enough last night.

Lin Chen glanced at her, then took out a bag of green vegetables, a bag of fresh raw beef, a few eggs, and a bag of rice...

"I know you didn't eat enough last night, let's cook now."

He didn't eat two bites last night.

It's just right, now there's time to have a good meal.

"Okay!"

Hongling hurriedly ran to light the fire and cook.

"I'll help!"

Zhao Yan was also very proactive.

It wasn't the first time they saw Lin Chen use this skill, and now seeing it again, it still felt amazing.

The real meal was quickly prepared.

Hongling cooked five dishes, one soup, and a big pot of rice.

It was very delicious.

The result was that the three of them couldn't finish it.

There were still some leftovers.

Zhao Yan thought for a moment and suggested: "Send it to the medium?"

"She has taken good care of us, so this is a gift in return?"

Lin Chen said: "Send it to her."

Zhao Yan set off immediately, but when he arrived at the medium's house, he found that the medium was not there, and the girl who was supposed to be lying on the bed had also disappeared.
