But 20 years ago, the village was hit by a once-in-a-century drought, and the entire town was wiped out. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info Even the original grain stock was slowly depleted, and the hungry villagers began to eat their children, or buy and sell their children, just in exchange for rations.

At this time, someone suddenly remembered the enshrined dragon king, and naturally also remembered the ancient customs of the village, that is, the 'bride of the dragon king'.

I don't know who said it, because they don't worship the dragon king, so the dragon king is angry. Then the drought came down to punish them.

If you want to appease the anger of the Dragon King, you can only use the 'Bride of the Dragon King' to calm it, and then the Dragon King will continue to bless the village with good weather!

It was originally just a rumor, but the villagers, who had been driven crazy by hunger, believed it. It's just that if you want to sacrifice to the gods, naturally not everyone can do it, and the villagers feel that the 'bride of the dragon king' can only be done with a pure and immaculate virgin, otherwise the dragon king will be even more angry and blame the village.

But no one in the village is willing to hand over their daughters, some of them feel sorry for their daughters, and some of them are because of interests. After all, the daughter who has not yet married can make a lot of money by selling it to a wealthy family as a concubine, and if it is supplied to the so-called dragon king, if it is useless, wouldn't it be a loss?!

Besides, the villagers all have an idea, why is it my girl, why not someone else's?! Under such circumstances, the selection of the 'bride' has not been decided for a long time. But soon, the village chief, reminded by the villagers, remembered a candidate.

Ten years ago, a woman and her young daughter joined the village with their parents. But after all, they were married from the village, and although the husband died and was driven back by the husband's family, the village chief relented for a while, so he accommodated their mother and daughter and let them live in the village.

Now ten years have passed, and the girl named 'Caidie' brought by the woman should also be sixteen years old, and she has not yet married, which just meets the requirements of the 'bride'!

Other villagers agreed with this reminder, and the village chief, who had been forced to be anxious, also began to consider this candidate. Thinking that ten years ago, if he hadn't been kind enough to take them in the village, maybe they would have died outside.

Now that the village is in crisis, it's time for them to give back to the village. Moreover, the woman heard that she was about to die, and only Caidie was left, so she was naturally the best candidate!

As for whether the mother and daughter agreed, it was not in their consideration at all. In the afternoon, the village chief took two men to the house where the mother and daughter lived, and the woman was already seriously ill, and Caidie was sobbing on the side. When she saw the village come with two men, Caidie instinctively sensed the danger.

The village chief asked two men to pull Caidie up and pull her to leave, but Caidie naturally didn't want to leave her seriously ill mother, and kept resisting.

Caidie's mother woke up and asked the village chief in a weak tone when she saw this scene: "Village chief, what are you going to do to Caidie?!" ”

The village chief's tone was cold: "There will be a sacrifice in the village, and your daughter has been chosen as the 'bride of the dragon king' to pray for the blessing of the village!" ”

Before he could react to the meaning of the village chief's words, he watched his daughter being taken away. Probably due to anger and malnutrition, he finally passed out.

When she woke up, she heard that her daughter had been thrown into the river as a sacrifice. The woman dragged her seriously ill body to the village chief to theorize, and said that she would report to the officials to arrest the people in the village.

At that time, the people of the village were no longer conscious, and in the end, the woman was beaten to death by the rampaging villagers and thrown into a mass grave.

About half a month later, heavy rain fell, the drought ended, and the government's relief food also arrived.

At this time, the villagers who had already returned to their senses began to worry about whether anyone would report to the officials, after all, it was two lives, and if the government knew, they would all go to prison.

In the end, the village chief summoned the villagers and made an agreement to bring the matter to the coffin, and no one could mention it, let alone report it to the official. Since then, the villagers have forgotten about this matter, and because no one has come to look for them, mother and daughter.

Things would have been silent, but six months ago, some villagers were killed one after another. The villagers who survived said that they saw a woman in a red wedding dress, and what was even more frightening was that the woman's appearance was exactly the same as the 'Caidie' who had already died!

The villagers began to rumor that Caidie had turned into a ghost and came to ask for his life, and the village chief began to look for famous Taoists and monks.

Later, a Taoist priest came to the village, and each family left a talisman paper, and told the villagers not to go out at night, so that they could naturally save their lives.

Later, there were one or two people who didn't care, and they all died tragically in the middle of the night. Everyone believed the words of the Taoist priest and did not go out at night, and the whole village began to become xenophobic.

After speaking, Qi Ziming's expression was filled with anger and disgust that could not be concealed. In particular, he also learned that the current village chief was the village chief twenty years ago, which made Qi Ziming feel that the ancients said that 'the scourge will leave a thousand years' is not unreasonable.

probably didn't expect the internal situation to be so complicated, and Yi Ru was rarely stunned for a moment. Then Yi Ru asked: "Did the prince of Qi ever find out the name of that Taoist priest?" Can you still get in touch with him now?! ”

Qi Ziming shook his head: "It is said that the Taoist priest disappeared after leaving the rune paper and never appeared again. As for the name, the other party refuses to say anything! ”

Now that the matter is almost understood, Yi Ru has no intention of interfering. What causes and what results, now is just the time has not yet come, and when the time comes, those who committed evil deeds in the first place will reap the consequences of their own evil deeds and will not be able to complain to others.

Qi Ziming's tone was hesitant with a hint of hesitation: "What are the real people going to do, do we still have to take care of this matter?!" ”

Yi Ru's tone was extremely indifferent: "Between cause and effect, the Heavenly Dao has its own measurement. Although we have the responsibility to eliminate demons and defend the way, it is not appropriate to meddle in this matter. This can be regarded as telling Qi Ziming that she has no intention of interfering.

Qi Ziming was silent for a while, and he didn't say anything more. He was a man of letters, proud of his own innocence, and he was deeply disgusted by the ignorance and loss of conscience of the villagers. I also understand the grievances of the ghost, but everything should be judged by the law, and the ghost kills the innocent, is it really good?!

For a while, Qi Ziming was at a loss. The person in front of him is an 'immortal' who believes in the way of heaven and feels that everything is judged by the way of heaven. But he was a mortal man who believed in the law. But after the tragic destruction of his family, he also understood that sometimes the law is so weak and weak.
