Chapter 39: Along the South Coast, What Is the Crime of the Weak Boys?(2)
Chi Xiang was really surprised when he came to the beach, and there were really a lot of people participating in this blessing event, as if the entire town had sent one person from each family to participate. This couldn't help but make Chi Xiang even more curious, what kind of event was this, and it was so grand? Or is it because this prayer is really effective?
Although Chi Xiang had a suspicion in his heart, he was a little skeptical of this idea, after all, if he could fulfill his wish just by praying for blessings, then there would be at least a lot of rich people in the whole town, right?
Moreover, there is a conflict of contradictions, and in this case, the so-called conjecture of blessing is not valid at all, so I am afraid that there is another hidden truth behind this matter.
Chi Xiang took Lin Shuying to the crowd, quietly watching everything around, and happened to see a group of people carrying a long box from a distance, like a coffin, but this coffin kept shaking, there should be something alive inside.
It's not surprising to pray for a pig or something, so Chi Xiang didn't pay much attention to it.
Gradually, the lid of the coffin was pushed open by the creature inside, and the person carrying the coffin found it, immediately stopped, and put the coffin on the ground for the time being, and the coffin lid was opened, and there was a little boy of six or seven years old sitting inside.
The man in charge grabbed the little boy and slapped him directly on the cheek. The boy still had some bruises on his cheeks, apparently more than once.
"Stinky boy, can you settle down, do you know how important this prayer is to our town?" the man said, increasing the force of the slap again, and the little boy stopped resisting, and then threw him back into the coffin.
Chi Xiang also saw this scene and his heart tightened, after all, in his concept, this kind of child abuse was a little unacceptable, but Lin Shuying next to him did not have any mood fluctuations.
In order to figure out what was going on, he simply asked the person next to him, "Brother, how could there be a little boy in the coffin?"
"We have a custom here that at this time of year, a child under the age of eight is sacrificed to the god of the sea, and he will bless our town with no more tsunamis. ”
"Isn't that a little too cruel to sacrifice a child?"
When the man in front of him heard this, he said disapprovingly: "What is cruel? This child is an orphan, without father and mother, and it is the blessing of his life to be sacrificed to the god of the sea! It is his supreme glory to be able to exchange his life for the safety of our entire town for a year!"
"Then why don't you sacrifice your child?" Chi Xiang felt in his heart, could it be that these people all believed in the sea god and were stunned?
"My little fat can help the family, it's very good, why do you want to sacrifice?"
When Chi Xiang heard this, his heart was cold, as long as the child who sacrificed was not his own, he would fully support it, but if this kind of thing fell on him, I am afraid that he would oppose it faster than anyone else.
Then Chi Xiang inquired about some news, it seems that this town will get a wandering orphan to foster first every year, and when it is necessary to sacrifice it, it will be directly given to the sea god, because this kind of sacrifice will not hurt the children in the town, so no one came out to object, everyone is participating in the event, full of anticipation for the protection of the sea god.
"Senior sister, do you believe that the sea god exists?"
Lin Shuying thought for a moment and replied, "God, there should be, after all, the ultimate goal of our cultivation is to become immortals in the future! But I don't believe that immortals will be in our world." This is because those who have achieved the fruits of cultivation have directly ascended to other worlds. ”
Chi Xiang nodded, in fact, he didn't believe it, how could a sea god inhabit such a poor and remote place? I'm afraid there is a ghost in this matter! Chi Xiang looked around again, and found that there was no cultivator nearby, all of them were mortals, and there was no trace of cultivation. If a random cultivator comes and unleashes some small spells, he should be able to deceive everyone!
"Senior sister, where have all the cultivators gone these days?" Chi Xiang asked again.
"Of course it's in our college! How else would I know about the opening of this store? My roommate is ...... Yannan Town."
Only then did Chi Xiang know that there were not all the academies of cultivators, in the entire Southern Wilderness Region, there were only five Enlightenment Academies, two of which were in Southern Wilderness City, and the other three were distributed in three towns.
And the cultivation beginners in the southern part of the Southern Wasteland are basically concentrated over there, and they have no intersection with the people from other towns before, so they don't know very well, if they know that there are people from other towns around them, wouldn't the matter of the mahjong house go more smoothly if they ask them?
Now there are a few cultivators in the entire Yannan Town, but they are basically watching the excitement and have no desire to interfere. The people in the town didn't care, and even if there was opposition, they couldn't help much. Chi Xiang decided to test what this sea god was first!
"The third year prayer event in Yannan Town starts now!"
At this time, everyone's attention was on the little boy's side, and while the people around him didn't pay attention to him, Chi Xiang slowly walked to the beach, "Razer leads." "As soon as I heard the thunder and lightning python burrow into the sea, gradually the thunder and lightning spread in the sea. After a while, the sea fluctuated violently, and a wave crashed in the direction of the crowd!
"Run! Poseidon is angry!"
"Hurry up and sacrifice that child!" Lord Poseidon can't wait!" The crowd gradually dispersed, and the people on the shore were suddenly much smaller.
And Chi Xiang didn't care at all, anyway, when the waves came, he just used ice to freeze the sea water in front of him. Now I just have to stare at the sea to see when the so-called sea god will appear.
"Accelerate growth!" Lin Shuying watched Chi Xiangleng hurriedly throw out a seed in place, using his own earth system method - accelerated growth, and gave birth to a vine wrapped around Chi Xiang's waist and pulled him back.
"Senior sister, don't you want to see what the sea god is?"
"What's so good to see? Even if someone is making trouble, looking at the scale of this spell, the other party at least has the cultivation of the Qi Transformation Realm, if it is the Cultivation God Realm, I'm afraid it can directly kill us in seconds! Don't run away!" Lin Shuying wanted to take Chi Xiang to leave this kind of place quickly.
At this time, the people carrying the coffin also fled for their lives, and the little boy in the coffin also took the opportunity to lie out.
"Damn humans! If you don't have ten boys, don't try to appease my anger!
