Chapter 162: The Temple of Fire Sacrifice
The second appearance of the black cat is easier to speculate.
It should be that Dongsheng deviated from his daily life track and attracted the attention of the black cat, so the black cat came to confirm.
Ran Ran was thinking deeply while walking hard.
But if her inference is really true, then the black cat's reaction the second time should not be just like this.
Test whether they are smart or not? Is it enough to be smart?
You must know that they are asking Dongsheng to do something quite dangerous.
The village chief gave Dongsheng a request to guard them, but Dongsheng not only failed to comply, but even led them the way. If they were discovered, the consequences would be disastrous.
Why didn't Black Cat stop Dongsheng, or stop them?
Either it is convinced that it has enough power to save Dongsheng in front of the village chief, or...
Black Cat is happy to see what they are going to do?
Ran Ran paused, but even she herself didn't know exactly what she wanted to do. Her original intention was just to go and explore where she worked.
Look at what the women in the village are like.
He slowly raised his eyes and looked at Dongsheng in front of him, who was holding the black cat in one hand and beating the weeds with the other.
A dark and fluffy tail was hanging down under Dongsheng's elbow, swaying irregularly as he moved forward.
Is there enough power? This should be ruled out.
The black cat only appeared for a short time and then fell into a deep sleep, which obviously did not meet Ran Ran's preset.
Then she was going to the place where she was working to find out. How could such a simple move be in line with Black Cat's wishes?
What attracts Black Cat, is it the place where she will go to work, or is it the place where she will come into contact with more women in the village?
Slowly lowering his eyes, perhaps everything will become clear only when he gets to work.
Shen Dinghai was still immersed in his astonishing guesses. When Dongsheng had no time to pay attention to him, he whispered his conclusion into Ranran's ear.
Ran Ran looked at his expression of expecting to be praised, and her words froze on her lips.
"Second nephew, why don't you think carefully about what the job position does?"
"What kind of job will it be if a man comes during the day and a woman comes at night?"
The excited Shen Dinghai thought that Ran Ran agreed with his half-human, half-cat-demon view by saying this, and he almost jumped up with excitement.
"Cousin, you think I'm right too! Oh my God! My IQ has improved by leaps and bounds!"
Ran Ran: ...I feel a little sad about the IQ of this junior.
"Second nephew, have you ever thought about it, if your guess is correct, how should we explain our first meeting with Miss Black Cat?"
Shen Dinghai scratched his head, "First time meeting?"
"At that time, Miss Black Cat could move around freely, and Dongsheng did not fall into the [crash] state you mentioned. Both one person and the cat were awake."
Shen Dinghai opened his eyes wide, "Huh?! Then there is something wrong with my theory! Damn it!"
"Obviously as long as I put aside this mistake, my guess will be flawlessly correct!"
"That is to say, is there a possibility... that we can barely draw a conclusion based on the situation? There are only two cases."
"Second nephew, you just ignored the first time. It's hard to guarantee the accuracy of such a guess."
Wu Pannan panted as he passed by, "Don't talk to this idiot. He is such a big man and should be clearing the way in front."
"I haven't beaten as much grass as I have."
Shen Dinghai was a little angry, "What do you mean, mocking me for my simple mind and my strong limbs?!"
Wu Pannan, who had already walked to the front, said something faintly.
"It's not a sarcasm, it's a fact." Shen Dinghai was very angry, but he still followed Wu Pannan's wishes and strode to a place still some distance away from Dongsheng to cut grass.
He still has some faith in his half-human, half-cat demon theory.
He kept mumbling something in his mouth, "Sir, my journey in the world is not just based on my body. I also have a brain!"
"I can't guess the connection between humans and cats, but I can definitely guess the content of the work."
"What kind of internal industries can a small village have? It's still in the mountains, and there are only a few left."
However, when the group arrived near their destination, Shen Dinghai could be sure that the content of the villagers' work was not what he had guessed.
Candlelight, firelight. Red tongues of fire were dancing all over the place.
The red color illuminated the dark mountain forest, as if there was a fire breaking out in it.
Everyone's pupils were illuminated by the light, and tongues of fire seemed to penetrate them, making their whole bodies feel hot.
Shen Dinghai murmured in a low voice, with a shocking tone, "Didn't I say that a fire on the mountain made the director fall in love with me? Is all firefighting propaganda a lie?"
He looked at Wu Pannan with questioning eyes, "Don't you have any feelings to express about such a scene in your village?"
Wu Pannan's face turned ugly, "They say I have left the village for a long time, and now I don't understand anything in the village."
Shen Dinghai curled his lips, "You say that ten years seems like hundreds of years, and I look like a bad person when I go to the countryside, right?"
Ran Ran glanced at the grand ceremony in front of her, and then at the black cat in Dongsheng's arms.
"Could it be that this kind of ceremony in the village... started not long ago? For example, a year ago? Or less than a year ago?"
No one answered, but Dongsheng's suddenly widened eyes undoubtedly proved that Ranran's guess was correct.
Shen Dinghai's mind was like a blur, "Huh? Cousin, how did you figure it out? We all acted together, why can't I figure it out?"
"Speculation, simply put, is the full use of imagination based on existing facts."
"As the saying goes, make bold assumptions and verify carefully. As long as various speculations are consistent with the evidence that has appeared, then any hypothesis may come true."
Ran Ran pointed to the black cat in Dongsheng's arms.
"According to Miss Black Cat, it awakened its spiritual wisdom when it was ten years old. I don't know if you have any idea about how it takes ten years to awaken its spiritual wisdom."
"I know!" Shen Dinghai raised his hand actively and lowered his voice, "Tao Yao said before that she had practiced spirituality for hundreds of years before she became spiritually intelligent."
"Even if it's a hundred years, my cousin said it's very rare. Ten years..."
Ranran nodded, "Although it is easier for animals to awaken their intelligence than plants, the gap is not so exaggerated."
"Sister Tao's hundred years is already a God-given opportunity, Miss Black Cat's ten years..."
A cautious look appeared on her fair face, "I can only speculate that Miss Black Cat gained some strength by accident."
"That power caused it to change." Ran Ran said, her clear eyes focused on the grand fire ceremony not far away.
"It has been a hundred years since Miss Black Cat obtained spiritual wisdom. I would venture to guess that that powerful force will be generated in the village every once in a while."
"The Shanggong Sacrifice that just emerged in Gude Village is probably because of this power."
Everyone followed Ran Ran's gaze and looked over.
Shen Dinghai blurted out, "That's once in a hundred years."
"The black cat took it away a hundred years ago. This time, the villagers are trying their best to get it." His eyes became brighter as he spoke.
"So the village chief doesn't want anything to go wrong and wants to drive us away! It's not just the reason for his son's ghost marriage, it's also related to this power!"
