Chapter 3 A Chinese River God
"What do you do?"
"Someone, help! Someone is robbing a kiss! The king of the mountain is robbing a kiss!"
"In broad daylight, robbing people's daughters, there is no royal law!"
"I'm not running away, I'm running away! I'm willing to marry, let me go!"
Sima Bingxin was tied up with five flowers, his face facing the sky, and he was carried away by two big men on his shoulders one after the other, and he couldn't struggle at all, so he could only scream.
The screams were undoubtedly loud, however, from the pleas for help from the people who hoped for righteousness, to the mourning and begging for mercy, did not cause the slightest wave, although the big man who tied people did not say a word, and walked forward quickly, the surrounding onlookers also whispered while following forward, full of strange looks, only a few relatives who followed all the way over, still crying, but did not dare to resist.
Seeing that it was such a state, Sima Bing thought to himself and judged the situation.
...... What is the situation? I have really been robbed by the king of the mountain? With such a fierce and vicious spirit, am I forced to marry? No wonder I want to run away from marriage!
At this time, the biggest regret is that his own strength is suppressed by the laws of the world and cannot be activated, otherwise looking at the strength level of such a low martial arts around, let alone recovering his power, even if it is a ground level, it is enough to be invincible, and he doesn't have to escape from any marriage, he directly broke into front of the king of the mountain, slapped one of his palms to death, eliminated harm for the people, and saved time and trouble.
It's just that when this idea popped up in his mind, Sima Bingxin suddenly realized another possibility.
...... The daughter of the robbed daughter of the king of the mountain reflects the fate of the ontology...... Oops, that mountain king, could it be him?
His own cause and effect, it seems that because of the young girl, she is currently entangled with the overlord, and the current bride is said to be her own projection, and it is also the projection of the young girl, so the king of the mountain who wants to marry her, in addition to being the overlord, who else can there be?
If it's the projection of the overlord, then the two of them are in a good relationship in the world, and it is just right to be together, what kind of ghost marriage is running away? Moreover, I wonder if the projection of the overlord has also awakened, and he has gone over by himself, just enough to meet him, and after completing the projection wish, he managed to leave this world.
Thinking of this, Sima Bingxin didn't struggle anymore, chose to plan and move, waited for the opportunity to change, and was obediently carried away like this, and even had some expectations.
Finally arrived at the place, Sima Bingxin was finally put down, only to look around, and found himself on top of an altar by the river, surrounded by dozens of murderous men, and four priests in gorgeous costumes, under the altar, there was a large group of ragged people, looking at the gorgeous altar, and the majestic priest, showing a look of fear.
In the center of the altar is a stone statue, a majestic giant man, with a hideous face, holding a trident in his hand, wearing fish scale armor, and has a terrifying momentum. Under the stone statue, there is a lotus flower decorated with gold and jade, just enough for one person to lie on his side.
...... The situation doesn't seem quite right.
...... What's more, I didn't see the overlord, and that's all, the problem is that I didn't see half of the groom at the scene!
...... How can you get married without a groom?
Sima Bingxin was stunned for a while, and vaguely felt that something was wrong, and he was afraid that something was wrong with his understanding, and at the moment of trance, those big men put her on the altar, put her in an upright posture, tied it with hemp rope, and then retreated one after another.
"Hey, what are you doing? I ......."
Before Sima Bingxin finished shouting, the three priests were already under the statue, dancing a strange dance, only the chief priest knelt down beside the lotus flower and began to say some difficult words, as if praying to the idol in front of him.
Sima Bingxin couldn't understand the pretended profound dialect of the priest, but from the surrounding situation, a very bad idea flew through his mind, and when he landed, he was stunned on the spot, and he almost had a crooked mouth.
...... Damn, the script is wrong, it's not the king of the mountain who robs the family, this is his mother's river god to marry!
...... Projection girl, you are really a masterpiece this time! You said that you are not good to marry, but you have become the bride of the river god, and you will be thrown into the water to be dedicated to the river god, in exchange for the next wind and rain...... Local superstition kills people!
...... No wonder your family is crying and crying, and your only wish is to run away from marriage...... But can't you make it clearer? If the message I left at the beginning was to flee for my life, I would have slipped away in the morning, saying something about running away from marriage, so that I would have been tied to the altar and had no chance to escape.
...... What are you going to do now? Girl, do you know how to swim in the water?
Wandering, Sima Bingxin didn't know what to do, the prayer on the other side had ended, the great priest got up and walked to the altar, and began to shout to the crowd below, the sacrifice was about to start, Sima Bingxin was dumbfounded, he never expected that he had tried to end the practice of projecting his wish, and it would end before it officially began.
...... What should I do now? Will I still be able to fulfill my wish if I die? Will the death of the projection hurt me?
...... So, this rare opportunity is for me to experience what it's like to drown? It's a really refreshing life experience......
Anxious in his heart, Sima Bing couldn't help but try to mobilize his strength and break free from the rope, but it was useless, the suppression of the laws of the world made his strength almost non-existent, I am afraid it will take ten days and half a month to adapt before he can start to mobilize his strength, but the ...... How can there be ten days and half a month?
When he was desperate, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and a glimmer of hope was unexpectedly born.
...... The overlord and the young girl have been in love for many generations, and they have been entangled from generation to generation......
...... If I haven't met him now, it doesn't mean that I haven't met him all the time, if it's fate, he will definitely come to save me!
...... Can...... What if I wait for him to drown? He and the young girl have never started and finished well, can we expect this to work?
Hope and entanglement coexisted, Sima Bing's heart seemed to be a mess, and two blushes unconsciously appeared on his face.
After the priest announced the start of the festival, several strong men climbed the stairs and got closer and closer, and wanted to throw the lotus platform and the bride into the water, and the crowd below also rose more and more, clamoring in unison, and began to heckle.
In the midst of the noisy scene, the change was abrupt, and the crowd rioted, as if someone was squeezing forward from the rear, and kept pushing the obstructive ones away, causing ripples of chaos and causing everyone to look back.
In the crowd, a weak scholar, showing strength and agility that did not match his physique, rushed away from the crowd, slippery like a swimming fish, no one could stop him, so he stepped briskly, all the way to the altar.
Then, the scholar walked quickly past the strong man, and in the astonishment of everyone, he jumped onto the altar, raised his arm, picked up the bricks from nowhere, and shouted angrily before the great priest could scold.
"You are so hurtful and deadly, ignorance is ridiculous!"
The bricks were smashed down and slapped on the side of the great priest, the bricks were shattered, and the great priest's mouth spurted blood, and he was directly stunned, and he turned around twice in place, just squirting out his teeth and fainting to death on the stage.
After the scholar stunned the great priest with a brick, he quickly came to the side of the lotus platform, broke the bindings on Sima Bingxin's body with a small knife, turned around to protect her behind him, and shouted angrily at the giant men and priests who surrounded him, as well as the people who were clamoring below.
"There are no ghosts in the world, but there is no river god? You ignorant people, for this kind of superstition, sacrifice people alive, hurt the heavens and harm, and will be punished!"
At the time of crisis, the savior appeared on the scene, but Sima Bingxin did not feel saved at all, but had deep doubts.
...... Where did this man run away?
I thought it was the projection of the overlord, and I found it along the cause and effect in the dark, but I never thought that a weak scholar jumped out, although his courage was commendable, and he could be regarded as athletic, but after all, he was just a mortal, unarmed, no matter how he looked at it, it didn't look like he could take himself, fight a bloody way, and escape, and the thugs below began to react.
"Where's the boy, take it for me!"
"Someone!"
"Hurry up, get rid of him, or the river god will be angry!"
The chief priest was stunned by a brick, and the remaining three priests, fearing the knife in the scholar's hand, retreated one after another, and at the same time shouted loudly, beckoning the guards below to come up and deal with the uninvited guests who interfered with the festival.
The onlookers also clamored, not caring about the scholar's scolding, but blaming him for interfering with the festival, displeasing the river god and possibly causing disaster.
The scholar held up the bricks, trying to intimidate the two sturdy men approaching head-on, but he couldn't detect the guards who came from the side, Sima Bingxin didn't care about his identity, and hurriedly reminded him.
"Hey, be careful!"
"Ahh
The girl's warning, after all, was a step too late, the tall and thin guard with his bare body, holding a long stick, hit the back of the scholar's head, he was reminded, he reluctantly turned and retreated, still rubbed on the forehead, screamed in pain, stood unsteadily, staggered back a few steps, and sat down on the ground.
The guards were simply aiming to take people's lives, but after a slight brush, they beat the scholar to the point that his head was broken and bleeding, his forehead was bruised and swollen, and blood flowed down his cheeks.
The tall and thin guard with a stick, the two companions met in one place, surrounded them, and were about to throw the troublemakers directly into the river, but the scholar stood up first, and took out a token from his arms, made of pure gold, full of dragon patterns, and wrote four seal characters.
The three guards didn't know each other, but they instinctively sensed that the opposite side might not be low, and their footsteps froze, and the priest behind them saw the words "Hunting on behalf of the sky" printed on it, and his expression changed greatly, and he fell silent for a moment.
"I am the minister of the Qin Mission, patrolling the heavens on behalf of the sky, how dare you!"
The scholar got a gap and loudly declared his identity, although his head was bleeding and his image was very embarrassing, but he had a majestic momentum, which made people believe that what he said was true.
Several guards retreated when they heard this, their faces were all frightened, and the priests on the stage looked even worse, one by one as if they were dumb, but the people in the audience were boiling.
