"If you haven't heard of it, does that mean you haven't?" The girl looked disgusted that Qin Lie had never seen the world, and then explained: "The River Styx is the mother river of the Tianshan Mountains, which stretches for thousands of miles and feeds hundreds of races, and the river god is the god in charge of the River Styx, almost everyone knows about this, you haven't heard of it, you can only say that you are lonely and unheard." ”

"Yes? I've heard that for the first time. Qin Lie didn't get angry, he just retorted: "But as the saying goes, seeing is believing, hearing is false, and you haven't seen the river god with your own eyes, how do you know about his existence?"

"You ......"

The girl was speechless for a while, her little face was flushed, and finally she stomped her feet when she saw Qin Lie's triumphant expression, and snorted: "I can see the river god with my own eyes tonight, and at that time, I can prove that the river god is real." ”

But she finished. Qin Lie still didn't care, and in the end, she glared at Qin Lie fiercely and disappeared directly into the grass.

"What a ghost. Qin Lie laughed and was about to follow, when the girl suddenly ran back, Qin Lie couldn't help laughing: "Why are you back again, didn't you say that you were going to see the river god?"

Qin Lie thought that the girlish spirit had returned again, but unexpectedly, the girl hesitated for a while. Only then did he squirm and said: "Today is the festival of the river god, you should not approach the Styx no matter what, it is best to leave the Tianshan Mountains now and return to your clan." ”

"Why?" Qin Lie became interested.

"You don't care about it, anyway, what I said is not harmful to you, you have to remember my words, don't go near the River Styx. The girl accentuated her tone, and then left again, leaving only the same voice, which echoed through the woods.

"This girl is really interesting, first talked about the river god, and warned me not to go near the River Styx, and said that there would be a fear of my life, could it be that there is some mystery hidden in this?"

After Qin Lie thought about it to no avail, he simply didn't bother, the top priority was to find the trace of the holy beast.

"Qin Lie, why are you here?" A soft voice sounded, Qin Lie heard the voice, but saw Su Qingxue, who was dressed in white, walking forward. At this time, she exuded a strong aura on her body, and she should have come here to practice.

"I had nothing to do, and I heard that there were some ancient secrets here, so I came to take a look. Qin Lie didn't reveal the matter of the Yongfeng Ancient Tower, but asked Su Qingxue: "By the way, I heard that there is a River Styx near here, and there is a river god in the River Styx, is this really the case?"

"River God?" Su Qingxue's pretty eyebrows frowned slightly, and she replied, "There is indeed a river called the River Styx near here, and as for this river god, most of it is made up. ”

"There are many tribes in this area, and within each tribe, there are many legends, this river god may be one of them, and even more, some tribes believe in the legend of ghosts and gods, and every year they hold a grand festival to select their tribesmen and offer them to the so-called gods in the form of living sacrifices, so as to pray for luck in the coming year. ”

Hearing what Su Qingxue said, Qin Lie was also secretly frightened, and said, "You Sixiang Ancient Clan control the barbarian domain, don't you never ask about such absurd things?"

"These tribes are so ignorant of the world, almost isolated, that even if we explain it, they may not believe it, and over time, neither side wants to deal with it too much. ”

"By the way, I just saw you talking to a young girl, the girl seems to be from the Qingyi Clan, the Qingyi Clan is a large tribe in this area, especially believes in ghosts and gods, and the clothes worn by that girl seem to be used for the festival. ”

Su Qingxue recalled in her mind, and when she turned around, there was no trace of Qin Lie in front of her, and she disappeared.

Whew!

The wind was blowing in his ears, and Qin Lie's figure was shuttling quickly through the forest, with a hint of worry on his face.

It didn't take long for him to slow down, and finally landed on an ancient tree, and looked far away, looking ahead.

There, is a huge tribal land, roughly estimated, there are hundreds of households, the number of clansmen can reach thousands, in this uninhabited area, it is also a large tribe.

At this time, the tribe is extremely lively, and the sound of cheers can be heard from time to time.

And in front of the mountain gate of the tribe, there was a group of people gathered, these people were a little older, with solemn expressions on their faces, and they were whispering something, they were estimated to be the elders of the tribe, and their status was not low.

In front of this pedestrian, there is a simple wooden sedan chair, on which sits a young girl, looking up at the sky, her face is not happy, but looks a little lonely and helpless.

This girl was the girl of the Qingyi Clan that Qin Lie met in the forest.

"It seems that what Su Qingxue said is right, this Qingyi clan is indeed an ignorant race that believes in ghosts and gods. Qin Lie looked at the Qingyi tribe in front of him from afar, and his voice was a little cold.

At this moment, he finally understood.

At that time, the girl of the Qingyi clan asked him to leave here many times, just because she didn't want Qin Lie to get involved in this festival and cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.

Besides, she said that she would see the river god with her own eyes tonight, and this was not a lie.

Because at this moment, she happened to be selected by the Qingyi Clan, and she wanted to be sent to the so-called river god in the form of sacrifices!

As soon as he thought of this, Qin Lie felt that there was a surge of anger in his body that was about to gush out, and he stepped out, wanting to save the girl.

"Wait!"

Xuanyuan Xiu's voice sounded in his mind, stopping Qin Lie's movements, and said in a deep voice: "This girl is a member of the Qingyi clan, and now, the people of the entire clan are carnivaling, and they want to use her as a sacrifice and sacrifice to the river god, so as to pray for luck in the coming year, this thing looks absurd in our eyes, but in their eyes, it is extremely sacred." ”

Hearing this, Qin Lie's body was excited, and everything was immediately connected.

The River God Festival has existed in the Qingyi Clan for hundreds, if not thousands of years, and has never changed.

Even if Qin Lie saved the girl, soon, the girl would still be sacrificed to the river god, and what she was facing now was the entire Qingyi clan, the legend of the river god.

"Then what are we going to do now?" Qin Lie asked, the legend of the river god has been circulated in the Qingyi Clan for too long, and it has long been ingrained, no matter how sharp his words are, it is impossible for them to give up the festival.

"If you want to save this girl, you have to start with the river god. Xuanyuan Xiu pointed ahead, and at this time, the wooden sedan chair was lifted by four strong men and walked straight into the dense forest.

Qin Lie immediately followed, hiding in the shadows, as if it was a ghost from the night, so that everyone could not notice it.

Xuanyuan Xiu left the Kun Pig Totem, appeared beside Qin Lie, and asked, "You and this girl are just a one-sided relationship, and you can't even talk about friends, how can you go to great lengths to save her life?"

Along the way, Xuanyuan Xiu also knew a lot about Qin Lie's character, and he expressed surprise at Qin Lie's sudden move.

"I don't know, maybe it's because I have a sister. Qin Lie thought for a moment and replied. 51 beautiful

When he saw this girl for the first time, his mind subconsciously thought of Baguio, and when he talked to her, this feeling became stronger and stronger, so that Qin Lie became curious.

Moreover, this girl's nature is simple, and she has reminded Qin Lie to leave here many times, which shows that she has a kind heart.

Such a woman, who is at the age of the flower season, has to be used as a sacrifice to the so-called river god, Qin Lie, and does not want to see this scene, so she will stop it.

After finishing speaking, Qin Lie thought that Xuanyuan Xiu would scold him, but unexpectedly, Xuanyuan Xiu actually praised loudly: "You are going to protect the people, the people in your hearts, the people you love, when you see this girl, you naturally think of your sister, and it is in line with your heart to take action for this." ”

"But what you did just now was too reckless, and you must keep your composure all the time, otherwise, it may backfire and be detrimental to both parties. Xuanyuan Xiu was like a teacher, teaching Qin Lie at all times, making Qin Lie have a trace of shame on his face, and silently remembered these words in his heart.

The degree of the wooden sedan chair is not fast, and every time you walk a while, you have to stay for a while, come and go, the sun begins to sink into the western mountains, and the sky gradually becomes darker.

"Fall!"

The four big men who carried the sedan chair drank at the same time, stopped, and slowly put down the wooden sedan chair.

At this moment, they had passed through the forest and came to a clearing, and in front of them, there was a very wide river, the water was tumbling and rapid, and the sound of the waves crashing against the bank was as if it were a wild beast roaring, and it was extremely terrifying.

"Xiaoyu, we will send you here, when the full moon rises, the river god will appear in front of you, no matter what it does, you must not resist, otherwise, our race will face a great disaster. One of them reminded in a loud voice.

"Being able to become a sacrifice to the river god is also your luck, so accept it with all your heart. Another interjected.

The four big men were discussing with each other, and the voice was so loud that even if it was nearly a hundred meters away, Qin Lie could hear it clearly, and a wave of anger couldn't help but rise on his face.

These four people are so shameless, they are all members of the Qingyi clan, not only have no pity for the girl at all, but also tell her not to resist, let alone leave, to wait quietly for the river god to appear, and be swallowed in one bite and become a delicacy in the belly.

"I understand all this, don't worry, for the sake of the community, I will not resist. A reluctant smile appeared on the girl's face, she didn't want to be a sacrifice, let alone die, but the order of the clan, she was powerless to resist at all, so she could only obey.

It didn't take long for the four big men to leave one after another.

At this time, the night is getting darker, and the whole mountain range is shrouded in darkness, so that people cannot see the scene in front of them, only the sound of the fiercer water waves.

The girl sat quietly on the wooden sedan chair, her body trembling with fear, and her eyes looked around in confusion.

suddenly

The sound of the water waves disappeared, and under the girl's surprised gaze, a bright light bloomed from the River Styx, like a brilliant starry sky, slowly extending in front of her.

"What a cute female doll, could it be that you are this year's sacrifice?" A female voice full of coquettishness sounded at this time, making the girl's eyes stare slightly.

I saw that in front, the water of the Styx parted, and a passage appeared, and a charming woman wearing a moon-white tassel was slowly walking forward, with a faint smile on her face, like a fairy who does not eat fireworks in the world.

But if you look closely, you can see that the eyes of this charming woman are radiating a greedy light.

"Are you the river god?" the girl raised her head and stared into the eyes of the charming woman, and for a moment, she felt her eyes blur, and her body stood up uncontrollably.

"Good boy, come with me. As soon as the charming woman's eyebrows were raised, the girl walked to her side very obediently, her eyes glazed over, and she was unconscious.

Thundered!

At this moment, a pitch-black light came down in an instant, pressing on the top of the coquettish woman's head, and the coquettish woman was startled, but soon, she came back to her senses, and the brilliance of her whole body flowed endlessly, and the jade hand reached out and slapped directly at the black light.

Rumble!

A rolling crackling sound sounded, the Styx River was frantically rolled up, and the whole space trembled, however, the pitch-black light did not dissipate, but continued to oppress.

The charming woman was surprised in her heart, her body flickered, and she instantly turned into a thousand figures, narrowly avoiding the attack of the black light.

"Who dares to be so bold as to offend the river god!" Thousand figures gathered, and the charming woman reappeared in the field of vision, her eyes scanned the surroundings, and on her body, there was no longer the holy aura just now, but became extremely hideous.

"A fox demon dares to claim to be a god, it's really funny. A voice full of mockery sounded, Qin Lie's footsteps stepped forward, came into the sky, and slowly landed in front of the charming woman.

His eyes swept away, but he saw a faint glimmer of light on the delicate woman's body, her eyes were like blood, and her whole body was full of a sinister and cunning aura.

On her back, there was a phantom figure of a demon beast, with black fur all over her body, her hooves like snow, and a pair of eyes staring at Qin Lie with a fierce light.

This woman is not a river god at all, but a fox demon!

Looking at the demon fox in front of him, Qin Lie's face actually had a touch of joy.

The purpose of his entry into the core area of the Tianshan Mountains this time was to find the trace of the holy beast, and this demon fox pretending to be a river god was a holy beast, judging from the breath on its body, it should be a new entry into the holy path, which just met his requirements.

"Holy Dao powerhouse?" the demon fox's eyes trembled slightly, and a sense of jealousy arose in his heart.

In the short battle just now, the demon fox knew that Qin Lie's strength was not weak, and if the two sides fought fiercely, no one could say for sure.

At that moment, the demon fox had the intention of escaping, and for the sake of a sacrifice, he let himself risk his life, which was unwise.

"Leave it for me!" Seeing the demon fox take a step back, Qin Lie snorted violently, and suddenly, a thick pitch-black light bloomed, turning into a True Yuan giant palm, and landed from the sky above the demon fox's head, wanting to capture it immediately.

"I have no grudge against you, why should Your Excellency force each other everywhere?" The demon fox stepped out, turned into a streamer, avoided the Zhenyuan giant palm, turned his head, and his eyes exuded the coldness of the fox beast.

"You have no grievances with the Qingyi Clan, so why do you want them to offer sacrifices?" Qin Lie sneered, this demon fox, taking advantage of the stubbornness of the Qingyi Clan, pretended to be a river god, and asked for sacrifices every year, before that, I am afraid it had already killed hundreds of lives.

If you have done something unrighteous, you dare to speak so righteously, so cunning and shameless.
