As soon as they reached Uncle Zhang's house, Grass Ancestor, Ancestor Shi, and Chess Ancestor collapsed to the ground, staring blankly in utter shock.
At that moment, the villagers were helping butcher a pig in Uncle Zhang's courtyard!
A big, fat pig was pinned to a long table by four or five burly men, while Uncle Zhang stood sharpening his knife.
"Dade, hold it down!"
Uncle Zhang called out, then pressed down on the fat pig's neck. The sharp knife plunged in.
Bright red pig's blood immediately spilled out!
A basin had already been placed beneath the table by Aunt Wang, and now it was filled to the brim with pig's blood!
The fat pig let out the final wail of its life.
"Ah!!!"
At the sight of this, Grass Ancestor suddenly screamed. His whole body trembled, and he was practically convulsing, as if he could hardly keep from revealing his true form!
"No... no... I've witnessed the death of this terrifying being, and now I'm caught in a mighty cause and effect, a great terror!"
Ancestor Shi was drenched in cold sweat. He even chanted the wrong sutras, jumbling together the Ksitigarbha Sutra, the Chan Sutra, and others.
Qi Shuangming had his eyes squeezed shut and his hands clamped over his ears. He was absolutely terrified!
They were all afraid.
There was no other reason: that New Year's pig...
Was clearly an unparalleled forbidden beast.
Normally, they had to close their eyes even at the sight of one. Otherwise, they would be caught in a mighty cause and effect, and unimaginable things would happen.
And yet now, they had actually witnessed the death of an incomparably terrifying existence...
It had been slaughtered alive!
It was over. They were finished!
The pig had already been butchered in Uncle Zhang's courtyard
