1570 Sacrifice to the god of the lake
The entire Luo people were boiling, running, shouting, and crying came and went, Wang Baoyu hurriedly got out of bed with the two concubines, got dressed, and ran out of the house.
The clansmen in the tribe were running towards the lake, Ma Yunlu pulled a few people and wanted to ask what was going on, but no one was willing to stop, break free and continue running, Wang Baoyu asked puzzledly: "What's going on?" ”
"When I saw a group of people lifting a three-year-old child, it should be a funeral witch thing." Xu Shu said with a solemn face.
Wang Baoyu was a little depressed in his heart, holding such a big event, he didn't even greet himself, the Slavic king, from this point of view, the so-called throne is just a symbolic meaning.
"Let's go and have a look." Wang Baoyu said, stepped on the Wind Tiger, and chased after the bustling crowd.
Xu Shu, Ma Yunlu, Zhang Qiying, and Feiyun Mouse followed closely, and on the west side of Lake Baikal, stood a stone platform, a few meters away from the lake, and the platform was wide and flat.
An old man in a black robe, with his hair scattered and a child wrapped in red cloth in his arms, was walking towards the stone platform. Only the cry could be heard, but the child could not be seen struggling, and when he looked closely, it turned out that the package was tightly wrapped and could not move.
"Even if it's scared, scare the child!" Ma Yunlu frowned.
"If you want to talk about this foolish thing, the mother's pain will last for a long time."
Zhang Qiying sighed, pointing not far below, a woman with scattered hair was being pulled by a group of people, her mouth let out a heart-rending cry, and her eyes looked at the place on the stone platform, except for the child's mother, who was so sad.
As soon as he saw Wang Baoyu riding a tiger and rushing with a gloomy face, the crowd immediately dodged out of the passage and bowed down one after another, and Snoff hurriedly greeted him, with a smile on his face.
"Snoff, what are you doing here, why don't you inform this king?" Wang Baoyu asked unhappily.
Snoff heard Zhang Qiying's translation, waved his hand again and again, and explained non-stop, Zhang Qiying said: "Snoff said that today happens to be a triennial sacrifice to the lake god, and the previous hundred chiefs will not participate in this matter, so they didn't shout to you." ”
When he said this, Snoff was still happy, as if he had done a good deed of immeasurable merit. Wang Baoyu became angry when he saw this and asked, "Do you want to throw the child into the lake?" What is the lake god? ”
Snoff explained in detail that the so-called god of the lake, known as Asa, would surface every three years and devour a three-year-old child, and designate another baby three years later, which would often have a black mark on his arm.
After the lake god devours the child, he can bless the land with good weather for three years, otherwise, there will definitely be a catastrophe, even if you stay away from this place.
As soon as he heard this, Wang Baoyu couldn't suppress the fire in his heart, the god of bullshit lakes, how could a serious fairy eat children, he was clearly an out-and-out demon.
Wang Baoyu urged the wind tiger, jumped up in the air, and jumped on the stone platform in an instant, scaring the wizard into a spirit, Wang Baoyu jumped off the tiger's back with a black face, stretched out his hand and said, "Give me the child!" ”
The wizard hesitated, trembling and still holding the child, pop! Wang Baoyu slapped him in the face twice, and shouted loudly, give it to me!
The wizard was stunned, Wang Baoyu was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, stepped forward to snatch the child down, and felt angry, so he flew up and kicked the wizard off the high platform.
"Since he is a sorcerer of the clan, he should be responsible for protecting the safety of the whole clan. You are here to act as an executioner, uniting with evil spirits to kill children, you are simply tired of life! Wang Baoyu said coldly as he looked at the wizard below.
The wizard staggered up from the ground, not knowing what he had said, and the whole clan immediately became agitated.
The shouts came from below, and without Zhang Qiying's translation, Wang Baoyu could guess that it was probably for him to put down the child, and the ceremony of sacrificing to the lake god could not be destroyed.
Some of them also raised their weapons and made a posture to attack Wang Baoyu, but the child's mother, despite the obstruction, was full of gratitude, and kept thanking Wang Baoyu.
Ma Yunlu and the others immediately rushed to the bottom of the stone platform and made a posture of vigilance, just now they were like a family, but now they seem to have become enemies.
The child in his arms was still crying, Wang Baoyu cut off the rope, and the child immediately moved his hands and feet, and a thin black shadow was faintly visible on the exposed arm, like a snake pattern.
"Clansmen, don't be confused, if the thing here is really a lake god, it will definitely not harm the child, this is clearly a monster, what you do is to help the abuse. Now it will take three years to sacrifice a child, and who knows what it will ask for in the future, and will you be willing to be his slave? Wang Baoyu said loudly.
Zhang Qiying hurriedly translated the past, but did not calm the anxious shouts of the Luo people, such a simple truth, they all understand, when it is the turn of the family to dedicate the child, the relatives are not painful? The mother is a continuation of the tragedy, and it is not uncommon for her to go crazy and even commit suicide.
At that time, the light gradually faded the sorrow of this time, and a new round began. However, in the face of such a powerful place, they can only reluctantly call him the god of the lake, and do not hesitate to give up a child to bless the safety of the whole clan.
Wang Baoyu, the Slavic king, was first supported by Snov, but he didn't expect to come to stir up the situation, which made Slav very embarrassed.
Although Snoff tried his best to maintain order, the people still kept pouring forward, shouting incessantly, and some people shouted that children can be reborn, but the destruction of the race is a disaster that destroys the sex. At this moment, the selfishness of human nature is revealed.
At this time, the morning sun had already revealed half of its face, and the sparkling water of the lake, and the wizard looked nervously at the surface of the lake, waving his hands and saying something, maybe it was the time for sacrifice.
The Luo people were even more manic, and under the instigation of the wizards, they were particularly fierce, and even climbed onto the stage to snatch the weapons of Ma Yunlu and Feiyun Rat.
Ma Yunlu and Feiyun Rat kept picking up the newcomers from the stone platform, but they couldn't hurt their lives, these people got up from the ground and continued to surround Ma Yunlu and the others.
Just when the situation was about to get out of control, suddenly, there was a loud rumbling noise from the bottom of the lake, and the ground shook violently, and the Luo people were so shocked that their faces were colorless, and they retreated one after another.
The violent shaking lasted for three minutes, and everyone felt dizzy and unable to stand still, and when the shaking finally stopped, a huge whirlpool suddenly appeared in the originally crystal clear water.
