Chapter 2: Sacrifice to the River God

I don't know how long it took for Chen Qian to wake up slowly. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The back of his head was in pain, he stretched out his hand and touched it, and immediately grinned in pain.

It was dark all around.

"Dungeon! Hateful! He threw himself into the family, and the dungeon was dark and could not see the light of day! This is a place where felons or enemies are kept!" The Chen family actually regarded themselves as outsiders, enemies, and wanted to deal with them quickly. Under the damp rocky ground, cold water dripping from above flowed, dark and dirty, but Chen Gan's mood was even worse than all this.

"Okay, very good! From today onwards, I, Chen Gan, am no longer a member of the Chen family!" he did not shout and hysterical, but was very indifferent.

"It's time, pull the people out and get ready to start!" an elder appeared with a man and a horse.

"Finally, are you going to sacrifice to the river god?" Chen Qian whispered, his mind full of thoughts, and finally it only turned into a deep sigh.

Sacrificing to the river god is naturally a big event, and it is easy to be careless, and there are rigorous rituals.

As the overlord of the great river flowing through Dayue City, the river god is not a legend, nor is it an imaginary existence, nor is it the kind of omnipotent but ethereal "god" in the minds of ordinary people. On the contrary, it is not false, but real! Yes, the river god is the master of this section of the river that flows through the city of Dayue, the valley of the two thousand miles.

Some people say that they have seen the figure of the river god, like a mountain hidden in the mist.

Some people say that they have heard the voice of the river god like a roaring thunder.

Some people also say that the river god is not a god, it is a monster, a big monster, and a strange and ominous beast.

Yes, it is huge, it is mysterious, and one thing is certain, its power is extremely strong, and for all these years, it is not that there are no strong people who intend to snoop and spy on its secrets. Even, there are ancestor-level powerhouses, who say that they want to kill demons and eliminate demons, and restore the peace of cultivators and people in the Great River Basin.

However, without exception, all the provocateurs, failed.

There are no bones left, quietly disappearing into the long river of history.

And, the river god is still the same.

Therefore, people believe in and revere the existence of the river god even more.

Dayue Castle, every year, there is a ritual of sacrifice, which is proven, accepted by the river god, and an action that is useful for all people, bringing peace. As for the price to be paid, it is a sacrifice, or a virgin, or a virgin, or all kinds of heavenly treasures.

"In any case, this candidate will not fall on his head! Why on earth?" Chen Qian finally couldn't hold back and said his doubts.

The second elder replied in some surprise.

He glanced at Chen Qian, "The four great families are the masters of Dayue City, but now, my Chen family is prosperous, so it has irreversibly become the fifth largest family! This sacrifice is to give an explanation to the four major families, showing that we are the fifth largest family under them, after all, they have never sacrificed with their own family!"

"There is another one, you waste, you have lost the face of the Chen family! While you are still fifteen years old, a boy, simply sacrifice it, save your eyes and mind! Hehe!" Behind the elder, Chen Qian's aunt's son, Chen Wujian also spoke.

The second elder glanced at him coldly, and suddenly, he was in a cold sweat.

"Second Elder, I, I'm talking nonsense. He busied.

The second elder didn't say anything more, obviously, to a certain extent, he still acquiesced in Chen Wuji's words.

"My own family? Chen Qian smiled gloomily.

He was taken out.

Outside, it was the sun shining, this brightness, for Chen Qian, it was a little dazzling, he raised his hand and covered the top of his eyes.

"Bathe him, burn incense, and change clothes!" In the Chen family, it can be said that they are busy, busy, and very warm. This atmosphere is not like the Chen family is going to die a grandson, but there is a feeling of the New Year, the lights are colorful, and everyone is elated. Everyone was preparing for the sacrificial ceremony. This ceremony can bring the Chen family the status of the real fifth largest family, and there are many benefits!

It is a grand event that brings peace to Dayue Castle.

Ironically, Chen Qian, the only person concerned, was the only one whose interests were damaged.

It is he who pays the price. Of course, no one cares except him, and he is the only one who is resentful.

"What about Chu'er, why didn't you see Chu'er!"

Chen Qian's eyes were in the crowd, constantly scanning, looking for the familiar shadow in his heart, but he found nothing. Such a big thing, doesn't Lin Chu'er know?

"It's really pitiful...... a maid passed by and reminded in a low voice, "Miss Wai is grounded......"

"Xiaoting, shut up!" the others hurriedly scolded.

The maid was a little bold.

"Thank you!" Chen Gan's heart was slightly relieved when he heard this, perhaps, it would be good not to let her see this scene!

He sorted out his appearance, raised his head, and held his head high, "I, Chen Qian, die, and I will die standing too!"

Chen Qian also understood that the sacrifice would indeed have no life.

After some preparations, under the watchful eyes of many cultivators and ordinary people in Dayue City, Chen Qian, who was originally spacious, but now densely packed with crowds, was taken out of this giant city by the Chen family. Although the city is large, it is so small in the face of the river that is almost as vast as the sea, and the turbulent and boundless river.

Outside the city, there are preparations.

Similarly, on the banks of the river, there are also people like ants, waiting solemnly.

Chen Qian, who had been holding his head high and did not bow his head for a moment, was taken to an altar more than ten feet tall.

It is a floating island located on a large river, and is connected to the shore by a pontoon bridge.

The lengthy ceremony didn't matter to Chen Qian. He just stared at the waves of the vast river, his eyes seemed to pierce the blue water, and see what would happen under the depths of some turquoise and some black.

"Cut off the pontoon bridge!" Finally, the elder Chen ordered.

Bang!

With a bang, Chen Qian, who was imprisoned on the altar, together with the huge altar itself, suddenly went down the river and downstream.

Thundered!

A huge dull sound sounded, and on the surface of the river, a huge fog appeared at some point, shrouded in smoke and water, ethereal and with unknown fear. A huge whirlpool suddenly appeared downstream of the altar, and the strange thing was that this whirlpool was not fixed, but was moving in the same way as the altar moved forward.

This terrifying and terrifying mouth was obviously waiting to devour Chen Qian.

"The spirit of the river has appeared!" On the shore, there was a commotion and thunderous cheers, and everyone shouted and knelt down to worship.

As the river flowed, the crowd grew smaller and smaller, and eventually disappeared, and even their voices turned into the roar of the river.

All around, empty, boundless, and with no end in sight. And downstream, it seems to be the huge mouth of the river god. Under the deep blue-black river, there seems to be an unknown huge figure, hideous and twisted, very terrifying. Chen Qian couldn't control himself a little, and fear was born in his heart.

Rumble!

Finally, the huge whirlpool stopped moving! It grew bigger and bigger, like a big mouth, and turned into a big hole and bottomless pit! The altar of more than ten zhang was just a small blister in front of this huge whirlpool!

"It's coming!"

After a whirlwind, Chen Qian really realized his insignificance at this moment.

Boom!

The river water lapped over, making him feel pain all over his body, and the cold water made him extremely sober.

Weak, helpless, and helpless, Chen Qian only felt that he had fallen into a huge bamboo basket like an insect, and like a soybean that had fallen into a stone mill. In the darkness, a huge devouring force struck. Rootless duckweed, the weightless Chen Qian involuntarily fell into the wall of the huge whirlpool.

There was water all around, and Chen Qian only saw darkness and lost consciousness.

"Am I going to die?" was devoured by the river god's mouth, ......" he thought to himself.

I don't know, how long it took, there was a piercing cold in his body, which woke Chen Qian up. He didn't expect that he would wake up again.

"Ahem!" Under his throat, in his heart and lungs, and in his stomach, there seemed to be a lot of river water, Chen Qian was wheezing hard, coughing, and spitting out water vigorously, very uncomfortable.

"Here, where is it?"

Above, there is a rock dome, and in the crevices of the rocks, there seem to be inlaid with pearls of the night, exuding a soft light. Beneath your feet are wet brown stones dripping with water. Yourself, it seems to be in a big underground hole?

"How could it be, wasn't it on the river, falling into the whirlpool, and entering the mouth of the river god?"

Chen Qian rubbed his very painful head and muttered to himself in surprise.

He was about to lift his feet, get up, and look around.

Click!

With a sound, Chen Qian found himself flying up immediately.

Yikes!

He cried out, for it was, a large, disgusting, soft tentacle, covered with bumps, that wrapped around him tightly and lifted him up. Chen Qian subconsciously struggled desperately, but it was useless. He looked along the huge tentacles, and in the faint light, he finally saw two large yellow and red lanterns far ahead.

This huge lantern is as big as a foot!

The yellow brilliance, with a hint of black light underneath, is very penetrating, not to mention, the scarlet blood, violent, tyrannical, and brutal! There is only one answer to this! They are the big eyes of the river god! Chen Gan's mind was stunned by the overwhelming earthquake, and a bitter chill rose, exuding fear uncontrollably.

Whew!

It's just a small part of the tentacle that binds you!

I'm just a little ant!

Under the huge eyes, there is the huge body of the river god, which almost fills the entire space of the entire cave in one direction, and around its body, there are dozens of huge tentacles, I don't know how long, and they are constantly flying.

Bumper!

The sound of a huge heart beating came at the same time, causing Chen Gan's ears to roar, his eyes blackened, and time seemed to slow down.

"This is a huge octopus! Monster! Big monster! This is the body of the river god, the true face!" Chen Qian, who was afraid and powerless, was numb and sluggish for a long time, and this thought finally came to his mind. As for the escape, the life left behind, he didn't think about it at all.

This huge monster can easily destroy the seemingly unstoppable Dayue City with a single move!

"It's not enough to stuff your teeth with this sacrifice, right? River God, do you want to eat yourself?"

Chen Gan's body was feverish, frightened, and at the same time, extremely excited.
