Chapter 282: The River God's Living Human Sacrifice
I thought I was dazzled, so I rubbed it again, and the head was still in the river, because it was too dark, and I couldn't see my facial features, as if I was swimming alone in the water, but only one head was exposed. ziyouge
Not only that, but the more I looked closer, the more I realized that there was more than one head.
In the river water, many heads emerged one after another, they slowly approached the shore with the beating of the river, I saw this, a little panicked and shouted: "I'm afraid that the water ghosts in the river have been called by me, so many have come this way, what should I do?" ”
He comforted me and said: "Don't panic, these are the lonely souls who have been silent in the Wangjiang for hundreds of years, they may be displaced people from the previous war, homeless, and no one will overtake them after death, so they stay in this Wangjiang; Now your wizards are far more powerful than before, so as soon as you set up a conjuring array by the river, these undead will come to hear the wind and try to get your protection! ”
Hearing this, I suddenly felt a little more confident.
"My protection? So what do I need to do for them? ”
Shu Tian shook his head and replied helplessly: "There are so many undead in this world, where can you take care of them?" ”
I nodded, and that's right.
But in the blink of an eye, the high platform where the conjuring array was set was surrounded by undead spirits, and they stared at me with stiff expressions, as if they had something to say, but they couldn't speak.
"Shu Lean, there's nothing wrong!" I took these undead physical features in my eyes and reached out and pulled the sleeve of the leaning back.
"Huh?"
"You don't mean that these undead are miserable people who died in this Wangjiang at different times, but why are they all wearing the same clothes?"
Shu Tian was reminded by me and hurriedly turned around to look.
These undead were all wearing white clothes and pants, and the collars were sewn with buckles, which were definitely not from this era, and it could be seen that these people were not very old before they died, in their teens and twenties.
"Tell me, how did you die?" I asked, pointing to one of the undead, and he looked at me like stagnant water, but didn't answer.
I pointed to another woman and asked, "How the hell did you die?" ”
This time, the woman's spirit body stiffly raised one arm, and pointed her index finger to the depths of the Wangjiang River.
Their spirits remained here, and I knew they were dying here, but how could so many people of the same age die here wearing the same clothes?
What happened to Wangjiang more than 100 years ago?
Shu Tian said very heavily at this time: "I think I probably know what happened!" ”
His gaze swept over, and in the middle of the night, surrounded by a group of resentful undead, no one could chat like someone else, right?
"They're all sacrifices!"
"Sacrifices?" I looked in amazement at my calm face in the night.
"On the bank of the Wangjiang River, there has always been such a legend that the river god will eat a pair of young men and women every year, and the people of the old society believe in these, so every year they will select a pair of young men and women as sacrifices and sacrifice them to the river god, presumably these people are the sacrifices at that time!"
I have only seen this kind of human sacrifice in it before, and it turns out that there are really pedantic people who do it.
Pity these undead souls were all very good years before they died, no wonder after so long, their souls are still trapped here, and they were sacrificed to the river god as a sacrifice, at that time, it should still be the supreme glory, who would have thought that they were just going to die! That's all!
"So what are we going to do now? Lingshan's soul is not here. "I was stupid, I had been preparing for so long, but I hadn't even seen Lingshan's face, and I wondered if the cause of her death was drowning!
"Dismiss these undead, let's go!" Shu Tian resolutely picked up the kerosene lamp on the conjuring array and blew it gently.
The surrounding scene suddenly became much empty, and all the undead who had surrounded us just now disappeared the moment he blew the lamp!
The depression in my heart was also much better, I looked at the wide river and asked: "You say, is there really the legendary river god in this river?" ”
Shu Tian quickly packed up the conjuring array, and replied to me in a light tone: "In this world, there is everything, and you can have nothing----
I really don't understand what he says sometimes, maybe it has something to do with his mood after being dead for many years.
Maybe I have so many things in my heart right now that I don't have the heart to ask about this river god.
"Could it be that Lingshan's soul has been captured?" On the way back, I asked worriedly.
I didn't recruit Lingshan's soul as planned, and after seeing so many undead, I deeply felt the reality of Lingshan's death.
What if I can't find her soul? What to do?
What if Yin is hopeless and still doesn't agree to help me wake up Shu'an? Will he sleep in his body forever and ever?
Countless terrible worries flashed in my mind, and I looked at it with worried eyes, and shouted softly: "Xiaoxian, don't think about this, you have done everything you can, you can't save Lingshan, and her longevity is over!" ”
I leaned my head back on the chair and said to myself, "I'm still not strong enough to even set up such a simple conjuring array!" If it was Shu An, today's result would have been different......"
He listened quietly to me, letting me complain to myself.
When I got home, I was so tired that I washed up, collapsed on the bed and fell asleep!
I felt in a daze that someone was holding me, and I had such a dream for many days since Shu An disappeared.
I know it's a dream, but it's good to dream, I haven't seen him for a long time, I really miss him, I'm afraid that this cold dream will suddenly wake up, and I will never see Shu An again!
"Shu An! Are you back? "In the dream I curled up in his cold arms, and he just hugged me like that, without answering.
I whispered and said, "I miss you so much! Shuan! ”
"Little Fairy ----"
He finally called my name, in that low, hoarse voice.
"Let's go!" He whispered in my ear.
"Leaving whom?"
And he never answered!
I struggled in my dream for a moment, and was brought out of it by the cold.
He sat up from the bed, looked at the unbound room, and sat at a loss.
For a moment, I touched my arm, and it was on my wrist, and something cold, damp was sticking to it.
When I picked it up, I saw that it was ice slag!
Although it was early winter, no matter how cold it was outside, it was impossible for ice slag to form indoors, and the only explanation was that I wasn't dreaming just now, Shu An came back, and he said three words in my ear: Let's leave----。
