Chapter 717: The False Truth (5,000 words)

The river god would make such a move to abandon the car to protect the marshal, or it was really strange that he was indifferent after seeing his ability to easily change the other party's weather.

That's why the "evil god" didn't hesitate to give up this operation, and put Du Bai and the people in the dart game back into the normal world, in a vain attempt to evade Du Bai's further investigation.

However, it was too late to react at this time.

Du Bai slowly stretched out his hand, closed his eyes and felt the aura around him, and then shook the void, as if he had grasped something intangible, and then gently tore it open.

There was a faint pale light in the gap, and a very similar but very different small world appeared in front of his eyes.

And in this world, the village is still intact, the flood has not yet come, and the villagers have not died.

That is, the scene seen by the dart master and others before is an illusion created by the "evil god".

Of course, this is only temporary.

With Du Bai's forcible intrusion, this small world seemed to anticipate the crisis, and in an instant, lightning and thunder roared, as if it had torn open gaps in the dark sky.

The villagers on the ground still maintained their original sluggish state, as if they had lost their souls.

But the moment Du Bai walked in, they suddenly looked at him with scarlet eyes, like hungry wolves who suddenly found a delicious prey.

But no matter how many of these guys come, it's useless.

With just a wave of his hand, Du Bai let them all retreat. He didn't even need the energy to catch his breath.

His eyes were always focused on the bank of the river, where the altar had been placed.

Originally, it was a place where it was necessary to throw virgins one by one into the river to worship the river god, and it was also the place where the "weird aura" was the strongest.

If nothing else, it should be there.

Du Bai quickly flew over, suspended in mid-air on the surface of the river, and looked down at the river.

The river is still swelling, and the heavy rain that has just fallen has left its mark here.

And although there was no wind around, strange waves and whirlpools spontaneously set off above the water, as if some behemoth was stirring at the bottom of the river......

Du Bai watched quietly for a while, but he didn't see any movement underneath.

He didn't plan to wait any longer to see his self-deceptive performance, so he simply shouted: "Do you come out by yourself, or wait for me to arrest you?" ”

But after the words fell for a long time, there was still no sign of coming out.

Du Bai's eyes froze, and when he was about to make a move, suddenly there was a strange movement on the bank of the river.

He turned his head to look and saw that many of the villagers had gathered at this time, including the old village chief who had made a deep impression on him.

These people were cautiously approaching, but they turned a blind eye to Du Bai in the air, and then the old village chief took the lead and knelt down on the bank of the river, chanting words in their mouths.

"Thank you to the river god for your great kindness......"

This scene was something Du Bai had never seen before, and he felt a little strange for a while. It was only when he got closer and listened carefully to what they had to say that he got the answer.

It turned out that he had stopped the action of the torrential rain before, but it still had some effect.

It stands to reason that the village would have perished if the embankment was washed away. However, for the first time in this small world, the villagers survived that night because the rainstorm had stopped!

Although these villagers are already dead, it is clear that they are no longer following the original script.

But they didn't realize it themselves, and it was all the river god who was kind and let them go, so they came to worship with gratitude, that is, the plot developed after they survived......

But what is the point......

Du Bai was a little unsure of the idea of this river god for a while, so he decided to stand still for the time being and see what these villagers did next.

I saw that these people first chattered for a while, and then the rest of the people continued to kneel, and the old village chief stood up slowly, turned his head to the two young men next to him and ordered: "You two go and bring the sacrifices quickly, without delay......

The two of them looked a little hesitant, but under the urging of the village chief and the numb and dull gaze of the surrounding villagers, they could only grit their teeth and get up and run towards a certain warehouse in the village.

"Sacrifices?"

Du Bai looked at the direction they were leaving, and felt a little strange.

This is already the territory of the river god, these are his ghosts, why do you need sacrifices?

What's more, according to what he learned, the sacrifice here was probably not something that was commonly seen, but a person!

Sure enough, after a while, I saw the two young men walking quickly with a girl with her hands tied behind her back and her eyes covered with black cloth.

After being sent to the old village chief, the black cloth on the girl's face was untied, and her eyes that were quite agile were extremely sad at this time, and her gaze slowly swept over the village chief in front of her and those familiar villagers.

Those villagers who were very familiar with them in the past may also feel guilty, so when they look at them, they unnaturally look away, and they can't bear to face each other.

The villagers here usually bow their heads and don't look up, as if they are relatives, but now they want to send this girl to death for nothing, who can really be hard-hearted?

The old village chief's eyes were also a little sad, and he patted her shoulder lightly, and said with relief: "Xiao Yun, you didn't take advantage of the chaos to run away last night, and you really can't bear our village in your heart." You can rest assured, in a few days, we will find someone to customize an inscription for you, leaving it for future generations to admire, and we will not forget your sacrifice......"

This girl named Xiao Yun didn't care about these reputations, she just lowered her head slightly, couldn't see the look on her face clearly, and asked softly, "Village Chief, where is Ah Luo?" ”

A Luo is his favorite lover and the son of the village chief.

The old village chief was stunned and shook his head slightly: "He has been locked up at home by me, and it is estimated that he will sleep all day." Last night the river god was angry, and the rain continued, and this sacrifice really can't be delayed any longer......"

Xiao Yun raised her head slowly, her face was a little pale, her eyes were slightly red, and her tone was a little choked: "As long as ...... As long as Ah Luo and everyone else can survive and be safe, then it doesn't matter if I die......"

In this way, the matter of the sacrifice seems to have been settled.

Led by the old village chief, Miss Xiao Yun and the two young men who were in charge of escorting behind her slowly walked up to the slightly humble altar.

Looking down from above, the surging river beneath your feet was slapping against the shore wave after wave of wind and waves from nowhere, and even the altar was slightly shaky and unstable.

After the village chief finished saying some sacrifices such as praying for the blessing of the river god, he turned his head to look at Xiao Yun and sighed, "The next step is the most critical step. Are you going to jump on your own or are you going to do it? ”

"I ...... I'll jump on my own! ”

Xiao Yun looked quite weak, but the accident was very strong, she looked down at the churning river under her feet, closed her eyes tightly, and then jumped into the river!

With a splash of spray, soon its form was gone, as if it had been devoured by a giant beast under the river......

On the bank of the river, there was only a dead silence in an instant, and everyone was kneeling and worshipping reverently, and some people may be a little reluctant, but they dare not show it here.

And this scene also fell completely in the eyes of Du Bai, who was observing from the sidelines, but he didn't choose to interfere with anything from beginning to end.

Because he could feel that whether it was those numb villagers or Xiao Yun girl who sacrificed her life to die, they were all dead people!

They had already died in the flood at that time, and now they are only acting according to their remaining obsessions.

To save or not to save, it makes no difference.

What he wondered was that the river god was deliberately showing the process of sacrifice in front of him.

Sure enough, something strange suddenly appeared at the bottom of the river at this time!

I saw that the river suddenly centered on the altar and separated towards both sides, leaving only a figure with golden light in the middle slowly floating.

Most of its body appearance was covered by the dazzling golden light, and only a pair of arms could be vaguely seen on its back than ordinary people, looking like an immortal in the sky, majestic!

Du Bai stared at the other party tightly and slowly exhaled.

He knew that this guy had forced himself into a mess at the time!

At that time, his strength was not as strong as it is now, and even the strength of the Dragon King's body could not fully adapt, and even in the end, he had to come up with a posture of fighting to the death at the cost of serious injuries, which scared him away.

He had never forgotten this feeling of grievance, so he came here immediately after he could get the opportunity to come out and settle this grievance.

At this time, after the "river god" came out, the villagers were even more dumbfounded, as if they were frightened, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and did not even have the courage to look up.

"Lord River God!"

"It's really the river god!"

If there was still a little doubt before, then the scene in front of me has been confirmed.

The old village chief was bold, trembling, and asked with some anxiety: "Lord River God! Could it be that what else is there about you that upsets you? ”

However, the river god flew into the air, his gaze slowly swept over the many villagers below, but he said, "No, I am satisfied with your sacrifice. ”

As he said this, a hand stretched out, and then behind him appeared the figure of the little girl who had just jumped down, and saw that her dress was no longer the appearance of the original village girl, but quite luxurious, covered in silk and pearl jewelry.

It's like the daughter of a big family, so dazzling that they don't dare to look at it directly.

"You see, this is the condition of the women who have sacrificed to their gods, who, when they come to me, live as if they were immortals, and no longer have to be sorrowful all day long like you mortals, so why are you so afraid?"

He seemed to smile: "It's better to say that you still have to envy her." ”

The voice is loud and subtle, and it sounds like both a man's low and a woman's slenderness, which is quite strange, but it gives people a very majestic feeling, as if it was a real immortal descending into the world.

"Your Excellency is right!"

The eyes of these villagers suddenly showed a look of envy, as if they were really moved, and they also hoped that they could be immortal and carefree like Xiao Yun......

It's just that these words may be okay to deceive others, but if they are deliberately displayed in front of Du Bai, some people will have an axe.

He looked at the "touching scene" in front of him singing praises of virtue, and suddenly smiled coldly: "This is what you want to show me?" I thought you couldn't hide like a shrunken turtle, what kind of conspiracy were you, but it turned out to be nothing more than that......"

As soon as the words fell, the whole world became silent in an instant.

The villagers who had been kneeling on the ground suddenly stiffened, and turned their heads to look at him in unison, with only a hole in their eyes.

The sound of the wind and water was all gone, and it was so quiet that it made people palpitate.

And the river god also slowly turned to look at him, although he couldn't see the look on his face clearly, he could feel the other party's scrutinizing gaze, as if he was checking his details.

However, if you can be seen through by the other party, you won't be the Dragon King.

"Who are you?"

Sure enough, the other party asked, although his voice seemed to be light and light, but he could vaguely hear some jealousy.

This is the first time he has encountered an opponent who he can't see through at all.

Is it a human or a demon, strong or weak? Nothing is known.

In his eyes, this person in front of him looked like a middle-aged man who was the most ordinary, both in appearance and temperament, and there was nothing worth noting at all.

In normal times, this kind of mortal is at most just an appetizer for himself.

However......

Now this person is clearly standing in the air, and the sense of oppression on his body is so strong that he can't help but be jealous.

Is this really mortal?!

He almost wondered if there was something wrong with his perception.

There is only one possibility that this can happen - the strength of the other party is much stronger than your own!

It was the first time he had encountered such a situation, and the other party was obviously not good, and if he was not careful, there might be a lot of trouble.

This is also one of the reasons why he repeatedly chose to avoid it.

If it was Du Bai's deity before he appeared, then I am afraid that he would have already done the black.

Du Bai had probably guessed what he was thinking at this time, and replied lightly: "I, I'm just a passer-by who is interested. Do you think no one knows about all the crimes you have committed here? ”

After a pause, he looked at the villagers, revealing a little regret: "Do you really think that you can be deceived with this kind of little trick?" ”

He used his mana and stretched out his hand to the villagers, as well as the figure of the bright girl behind the river god.

It was as if the finger had torn some fig leaf, and the originally bright scene suddenly became a little darker, and an indescribably strange rancid smell began to fill the air.

And the many villagers who were originally kneeling there began to peel off their flesh and blood all over their bodies at this time, like corpses that had been soaked in water for a long time, rotting and disgusting.

Even some parts were even more exposed, and the tiny maggots slowly wriggled in them, which was simply shocking.

Even the poor girl was no exception. The clothes on his body had long since rotted and cracked, and the flesh and blood seemed to have been sucked dry by something strange, leaving only a pair of shriveled skin and bones......

Where is the original beauty?

This river god is clearly just a lie!

And seeing that the last trace of concealment was also pierced, the river god was obviously enraged, and the momentum on his body gradually changed from the original gentle god-like to dark and gloomy.

"Is Your Excellency bent on opposing me?"

Du Bai laughed softly: "You only understand now? I didn't intend to let you go from the beginning. Our grudge has been settled for a long time, and it is already a great kindness to let you live until now......"

"Grudge?" The river god was a little stunned and didn't react.

How come he didn't have the impression of seeing each other at all? It stands to reason that such a powerful existence, it is impossible for him to take the initiative to provoke, let alone form this life and death grudge......

"Is there some misunderstanding?"

"Looks like you don't remember anymore. But it doesn't matter, you just have to give your little life. ”

Before the words fell, Du Bai's figure flashed, and he smashed his head with a punch!

No magic is as powerful as this kind of fist-to-flesh attack!

The river god was imposing, his body was full of golden light, and a huge illusory figure slowly appeared behind him, although he had no head, but looking at the dress, it seemed to be a Confucian student.

And the phantom immediately stretched out his hand, and also clenched his fist to meet Shang Du Bai's attack!

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a violent roar burst out at the junction, a few points louder than the thunder in the sky, and the rushing river under his feet was even more blown off, leaving a huge hollow before the river could flow in......

And Du Bai's figure quickly retreated a few steps under this impact, looking at the phantom with some surprise.

This thing looks fragile, but when you actually hit it, you realize that it is much harder than steel!

His own attack this time only dimmed its light slightly, but it was not completely defeated.

The river god felt that he had the upper hand, but strangely did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, but instead dissuaded him: "If there is a misunderstanding, we don't have to really fight to the death, both sides will lose, it is better to retreat, so as not to damage our own Taoism!" ”

It's just that before he finished speaking, he heard Du Bai on the other side sigh lightly.

was puzzled, but he heard Du Bai say with some regret: "Sure enough, I can't exert my full strength at all in my current appearance, so let's just use all my firepower......"

"What do you mean?"

The river god was stunned for a moment, and thought he was playing tricks.

But then, after sensing the violent vibration of the aura of the entire space, his complexion couldn't help but change suddenly, and he looked in the direction of Du Bai in disbelief.
