Chapter 22: The Poseidon Sacrifice

Three days later, everything came as it should. There were no sudden men in black, and there were no escaped prisoners.

The Poseidon Festival is an annual event of the Inner Sect, and the significance of this day is more important than the New Year.

On this day, all the clansmen of the Inner Sect gather at Poseidon Lake to carry out a series of sacrificial activities to express their heartfelt respect for the gods.

In the past, the Poseidon Festival was to put all kinds of magical beasts and all kinds of fresh fruits into the Poseidon Lake. This year, unlike in previous years, three offerings have been added.

Sacrifice is a kind of submission to the gods, and since people have prayed to the gods, they should be willing to offer the best sacrifices in order to win the favor of the gods.

At present, the wrath of God signed in the memorial hall is the best will.

In recent years, the harvest of Cape Island has not been as good as a year, and the accidental death of the clansmen has occurred from time to time, which makes people believe the signing of the document.

Moreover, worshipping and offering to the gods is equivalent to asking it to help with unattainable wishes, and the inner clansmen are actually engaged in an ideal "unequal bargain".

As soon as the sun rose, before the people of the Inner Sect had eaten breakfast, they all put on white brocade clothes and sat on wooden boats in groups, slowly rowing to the center of Cape Island, looking at them like white sesame seeds in the air.

The sound of "bang, bang, bang" approached.

Hmm? This is, the sound of water flowing!! Xiang Tian's eyelids opened slightly, sniffed, and a strong smell of water condensed in the air around him.

The surroundings were dark and damp, but the sky above was faintly visible and the foliage was leaking light.

Xiang Tian wanted to reach out and scratch his itchy ears, but found that his whole body had been tied with ropes, and the effect of the ecstasy powder had not yet dissipated, so he couldn't move.

Dressed in a gorgeous brocade robe, he was placed on a stretcher, and under him were a group of guards in Neizong costumes holding him, and then he looked ahead, and saw that there were two stretchers moving slowly, undoubtedly his brother Xiang Xing and Da Niu.

After a while, the surroundings became more and more bright. The fog clears, and the humid air becomes soothing.

What catches your eye is a huge waterfall made up of underground springs and hundreds of ancient trees.

Moss-covered trees grow together to form a barrier. The water fell at different heights, hitting the stones, splashing layers of mist.

The clear spring "booms" from the ground, rushes through the hollows of the trees that have been corroded, and rushes to the ground through the various exits, thus forming a large lake that moistens the roots of the trees deep in the ground.

This is Poseidon Lake on Cape Island.

In the center of the waterfall, above Poseidon Lake, a simple altar was erected in the sky.

Sitting on the ground by the lake are all the people of the inner clan waiting for the sea god sacrifice, and more than a dozen dancers with heavy makeup and light makeup are dressed in strange costumes and dancing a neat and uniform dance to amuse the clansmen.

When the three stretchers were carried into the eyes of the clansmen by the guards of the Inner Sect, all the eyes of the people gathered together and discussed softly.

At this time, a loud gong and drum sounded, indicating that the Poseidon Festival had kicked off.

At the forefront of the inner clan, Lin Yue and the three elders were already sitting on the pre-set seats.

Lin Yue raised his teacup and took a small sip leisurely. Seeing that the three of them were steadily placed on the altar in the air, the big stone in their hearts was slowly put down.

Lin Yue silently looked at everything in front of him, and secretly felt inexplicably uneasy in his heart.

Poseidon is this really what you want?

Lin Si, who was on the side, glanced at Lin Chuan in the back, the guy was discussing with his brothers about going to the Imperial Capital Academy, and they were chatting happily.

She noticed that there were a lot more guards guarding everywhere, and even the warden Lin Xi was also sent over, probably because she was worried that some uninvited guest would suddenly come again.

The ritual is complicated, with a performance by singers and dancers, followed by a long queue of people from the inner clan to the lake to wet their clothes and then kowtow and bow.

On the altar, Xiang Xing, Xiang Tian, and Da Niu were placed in a kneeling position, the sturdy rope did not relax at all, and the splashing water of the waterfall wet the hair of others, looking really embarrassed.

Three, you look at me, I look at you.

actually smiled relaxedly, and even evolved into laughing up to the sky.

"I'm sorry, big bull, it's all my fault. Xiang Tian felt that it was really too much to pull the inconsequential big cow in and think of his old parents.

"Well, I don't blame you. Even if you don't pee, the bastards of the Inner Sect will find you. ”

Da Niu blew his nose, "But how to say it, it's a pity for my old parents, woo woo... ”

Da Niu burst into tears as always, Xiang Tian looked sad and prayed for him silently.

"Xiaotian, I can't stand you, I can't protect you well. Xiang Xing's eyes were wet, and looking at his younger brother with a childish face, he felt powerless.

At the beginning, I thought that I had a double fighting spirit and could control the overall situation, but in retrospect, I was still too young.

"Brother, don't say those useless words. You are not my brother in this life, and I will be your brother in the next life. Xiang Tian touched his head on Xiang Xing's shoulder.

Xiang Xing nodded and smiled serenely.

"With your words, it's enough. Then he looked up, and the head of a middle-aged man appeared above the clouds, stern and kind on the man's wrinkles.

The ordinary appearance of this person's face touched Xiang Xing's little memory.

It was he who instilled the knowledge of fighting spirit in him little by little, it was he who led him to the path of a fighter, it was he who raised himself with one hand and one foot, it was he who entrusted Xiang Tian to stay on this strange Cape Island, and it was he who told himself that if you are not strong enough, don't leave this island.

Is it him or him, the man who dreams of throwing himself into his arms.

Where has he been in the past few years, this is what Xiang Xing wants to say to him the most.

He is the father of Xiang Yu, Xiang Xing and Xiang Tian.

The mysterious man who left them on the island and left inexplicably.

Daddy, although I don't know what your intentions are, but my son is not filial and has fallen to the point of being like this.

If you know, remember to help me and Xiaotian take revenge, you have to use your sword to tell the inner sect of Cape Island: Our Xiang family is not easy to bully, and precious lives are not used as sacrifices.

At this moment, Xiang Xing's dark pupil was naturally activated without his control.

The pupils, which were filled with a dark luster, emitted a terrifying killing intent.

The whites of the surrounding eyes were all rendered inky black, covered with bloodshots.

Lin Yue, Lin Po, the three elders, I hate you, if there is an afterlife, I will make the inner sect unpeaceful.

Xiang Tian looked at the mirror-like lake under the altar and listened to the sound of the water rushing down the waterfall.

Pieces of memory are put together...
