Greet the god of the sea.

As the saying goes, the mountains rely on the mountains to eat the water, the Songhai Sea is close to the East China Sea, and the people mostly make a living from fishing.

The mountain has a mountain god, and this water is naturally also a water god, and the god in charge of the sea is also the sea god.

Every year during the flood season, the sea is turbulent, and the people who go out to fish worship the sea god in order to get the wind and rain in the coming year.

Over time, "welcoming the sea god" has become a local custom. On this day, the homes of the people of Songhai City are full of lights, gongs and drums, and it is lively.

On the shores of the East China Sea, many people, men and women, young and old, dressed in new clothes, walked to the seashore with joyful smiles on their faces.

However, for the majority of the people, there was a lot of joy.

But for the people who are about to become sacrifices, they can't laugh at all.

The so-called "welcoming the god of the sea", to put it bluntly, is similar to the sacrifice we often say to the heavens, and it is necessary to offer sacrifices, which is understandable, but the sacrifice of Songhai to the god of the sea is actually ......

Living!!

Every year to worship the god of the sea, a handsome woman is needed to be sent to the altar as a sacrifice, and when the time comes, a messenger of the god of the sea will appear, and the messenger will take the sacrifice away and offer it to the god of the sea.

After the sea god receives the offering, he will bless Songhai City with good weather for a year.

And this year's sacrifice of the sea god is also a beautiful woman of young age, the woman's name is: Chu Lan, the eldest lady of the Chu family in Songhai.

And this Chu Lan has a cousin, Chu Yutang of Xiaoshengxian Village, who has the background of the Qilu Chu family, and this Chu family is also a big family in Songhai.

I heard that one night, Songhai rained heavily overnight, and suddenly a lightning bolt tore the sky, and the sea god descended on the Chu family and named Chu Lan as this year's sacrifice.

Although the Chu family was quite powerful in Songhai, the gods did not dare to offend, so they had to send Chu Lan to the altar on the day of the sacrifice.

At this time, the Chu family did not have a jubilant atmosphere outside, and a dense atmosphere enveloped the entire mansion.

On the day of welcoming the sea god, Chu Lan's mother cried tiredly, and she also counted on women to find a good husband and give birth to a bunch of big fat boys.

Unexpectedly, the girl was chosen by the sea god! Even if she was unwilling, but the sea god's order, how dare she disobey it as a woman.

Therefore, I had to send my daughter to the sedan chair to the altar in person, and slowly walked away in the sadness of crying.

Chu Lan's father wanted to stop it, but he was also afraid that the sea god would be angry and bring disaster to the Chu family.

A few years ago, Songhai also had a daughter of a large family who was chosen as a sacrifice, but the woman's father did not agree, and the next day, the whole family died mysteriously, and finally their bodies were found by the sea, and it is said that the sea god was angry.

Since then, no one has dared to go against the will of the sea god.

Meng Yi was in the crowd and witnessed the picture of the Chu family bidding farewell to their daughter, and he asked Ying Zisu beside him, "Do you believe that there is a sea god in this world?" ”

"There are gods three feet above the head, and the world is talking about it, maybe it really exists." Ying Zisu said.

Although no one has really seen a god, everyone around him says that there are gods, maybe there really is.

"Minmin, what do you think?" Meng Yi asked Hermione again.

"Yes, the mountains have mountain gods, the sea has sea gods, and we also believe in the gods in charge in our grasslands, and we will worship the gods every year." Hermione said.

Meng Yi clasped his hands in front of his chest and said coldly: "What bullshit gods, the so-called gods are just people's hearts, and what other Seagod messengers, in my opinion, someone is deliberately making trouble." ”

Meng Yi is an atheist, no matter what sea god and mountain god are, in his opinion, they are just a group of villains who pretend to be gods and ghosts.

It's just that this kind of ghost and god theory is still quite deterrent to them, the ancient fools.

"Shhhh Be quiet, don't disturb the sea god, and be careful to be angry with you. Ying Shisu booed.

Meng Yi said disapprenously: "Even if you have to be careful, you are, and a big beauty like you is in line with the appetite of the sea god." ”

The sacrifices are all beautiful young women, it seems that this sea god is quite lustful, Meng Yi wants to see what this legendary sea god looks like.

"Let's go! Go to the beach and see the excitement. ”

……

On the coast of the East China Sea, there is a three-story high platform, and the abyss of the high platform is the cliff of the sea.

Under the cliff, the sea is surging, and if a person falls, it is estimated that he will not even find the bones.

When it was time to greet the god of the sea, the sound of drums rang out from under the altar.

Boom! Knock knock!!

As the drums beat one after another, an old man with gray hair came up, dressed formally, wearing the wide robes of the sacrifice, and he was the presiding officer of the sacrifice.

At the sound of the high platform, the old man shouted: "The auspicious time has come, the sacrifice ceremony has begun, and all the people have kowtowed." ”

As the old man said with a drink, countless people at the scene knelt down. At the same time, there were two boys and girls who walked up to the high platform step by step, and behind the boys and girls, Chu Lan, who was a sacrifice, was carried onto the altar.

Subsequently, the scene sounded a deafening sound of gold, and when the sound fell, he looked at it and said: "Welcome the sea god!" ”

Wow!!

Suddenly, there was a wave on the sea, crashing on the shore, making a loud noise, and everyone was stunned, and someone said: "The god of the sea has appeared, the god of the sea has appeared." ”

Seeing the sudden rolling waves, the people all thought that the sea god had descended, and they all said excitedly.

The old man motioned to everyone: "Quiet!!" ”

After the silence of the crowd had subsided, he faced the sea, opened his arms, and shouted: "O great god of the sea, our subjects hereby pray faithfully to you, that you will bless us with good weather in the coming year, and that the sacrifice has arrived, so please smile and accept it." ”

After the old man finished speaking, the raging waves calmed down, and everyone thought that the sea god had heard their prayers, and they were all very excited.

After the waves subsided, the old man said again: "I have already known the prayer of the sea god, and then I will invite the sea god's messenger." ”

However, the Poseidon messenger did not arrive as promised, and after another quarter of an hour, someone suddenly pointed to the sea and said, "Look, everyone!!" ”

Everyone looked in the direction and saw a man of the gods dressed in black robes coming from the sea, who flew on the surface of the sea with his hands in his hands, and quickly came towards the altar.

"O man of God!!"

Someone said that it was shocking that he was worthy of being a messenger of the sea god and was able to tread water and fly.

However, Meng Yi raised his head and looked at the sea, his brows furrowed, as if he had discovered something.

If there is a person who sees this picture, he will definitely recognize it at a glance, where is this TM treading water flying, it is simply a water magic performed by a magician.

It's just that where did these ancient people know what magic tricks, in their opinion, only immortals can do it.

When the messenger of the god of the sea came from the sea, and when he came to the shore, everyone saw him and bowed their heads and bowed: "Join the messenger." ”

But seeing that this Seagod Messenger had a solemn face and deliberately looked cold, how could a messenger who was a god be a hippie smile with ordinary people?!

The Seagod's envoy came to the altar surrounded by everyone and asked, "This messenger has been ordered by the Seagod to come to collect the sacrifices, what about the sacrifices?" ”

The old man who presided over the sacrifice respectfully said, "The sacrifice is ready, please take a look at it." ”

As a sacrifice, Chu Lan was placed on the altar, covering his face with a red cloth, and his dignity could not be seen.

The Seagod Messenger stepped forward and gently lifted the red cloth, his eyes lit up suddenly, and a trace of greed flashed in his expression.

He was stunned, and the old man on the side shouted several times in a row, but he couldn't hear the answer of the Seagod's messenger, and his heart suddenly became worried.

The old man called several more times, and the messenger came back to his senses, and when he saw such a stunner, he almost drooled, and the old man asked, "Your Excellency, are you satisfied with this year's sacrifice?!" ”

The Seagod Messenger wanted to say, satisfied, very satisfied, this kind of natural stunner is really a rare commodity in the world, but he covered it up very well, and deliberately said: "Such a quality, Lord Seagod is naturally difficult to see into the eyes of the law, but the Seagod knows that you are sincere, so reluctantly accept it." ”

When everyone heard his words, they all sweated, as the messenger said, Chu Lan is also a great beauty in Songhai City, but why does the sea god need a god, the women he has seen are all fairies, and the women in the mortal world are naturally incomparable.

Seeing that the Seagod Messenger did not dislike it, everyone was also relieved, if the Seagod was not satisfied, where would they find a beautiful woman.

"Please also ask the messenger to speak many kind words and bless the people of the city." The old man said, and at the same time, he looked at the ground and gave the messenger some silver taels.

"What are you?"

"This is a little bit of filial piety for me and the people."

The Seagod Envoy said that he didn't accept it, but his body was very honest and looked at it, all of this was seen by Meng Yi, and this ghost and god also loved money.

After receiving the money, the envoy coughed a few times, deliberately straightened his waist, and said: "Lord Seagod has already sent me an oracle, and I am very satisfied with your performance, and I will definitely bless you and others to go to sea safely in the coming year." ”

"Thank you, Lord Seagod! Thank you, Messenger! ”

All the people knelt on their knees and thanked the gods.

Usually at this time, the Poseidon messenger will leave with the offerings, and the people will welcome and send off the gods.

"Send God!" The old man shouted.

The messenger of the sea god carried the sacrifice and prepared to leave.

But just as he was about to leave, Meng Yi suddenly stood up and said, "Wait a minute!" ”

The sudden sound interrupted the scene of the sacrifice, and Meng Yi went straight to the altar and said, "Is the envoy just gone?" ”

"Is there anything else you can do?"

"Your Excellency is the messenger of the sea god, and he came from the sea, so naturally he went from the sea, so why don't you take the sea route and take the land?"

The messenger's face was stunned, and his face instantly became gloomy.
