Chapter 684: A Scam!?
One minute to go. Fang Yu glanced at the time on his phone, and then looked at the stone platform in front of him.
He felt that on the ground in front of the stone platform, a faint power of the formation was emanating.
In that location, it seems that a small magic circle is arranged!
As the time got closer to ten o'clock, the surroundings became quieter and quieter.
In the back, almost everyone seemed to be holding their breath, and could only hear a slight sound of the wind.
Soon, the time came to ten o'clock.
"Poof!"
The sky above the platform, that is, above the heads of the representatives of the families, was filled with a burst of colorful light.
Everyone raised their heads and looked at the light in the sky, their eyes full of excitement.
Fang Yu looked at this colorful light and frowned slightly.
The light continued to emanate, and in the middle of it, a graceful figure slowly condensed.
Soon, the figure took shape, and colorful light surrounded her.
As the brightness of the colorful light gradually weakened, the true body in it was slowly revealed.
Qin Yao Goddess!
Today's Qin Yao Goddess is wearing a white tulle dress, and her style and temperament are completely different from yesterday.
But her face was still covered with a thin veil, revealing only a pair of eyes.
A long hair is draped around the waist and flutters in the wind.
"I've seen the goddess Qin Yao!" The representatives of the family below, including the Yuan family and the Fu family, all lowered their heads, clasped their fists with both hands, and greeted in unison.
Their posture, put very low.
The goddess Qin Yao floated in mid-air, really like an immortal fairy, her eyes were ethereal, and she swept over the people below without any emotion.
Then, she noticed Fang Yu and Bai Ran, the only ones in the crowd who didn't bow their heads.
The two of them stared straight at her.
Qin Yao's eyebrows furrowed slightly, but she didn't care too much.
"Thank you donors for coming to today's ceremony. Goddess Qin Yao made a pleasant voice.
The representatives of the families below raised their heads at this time.
Next, the sacrificial ceremony officially began. Qin Yao said.
As soon as she finished speaking, she raised her right hand and flicked it forward.
Under the sleeves of her coat, a little light scattered and fell downward.
The star-like light fell on the stone platform below, and it seemed to trigger some kind of mechanism, and it suddenly bloomed with dazzling light!
Many people don't look over their heads to avoid being hurt by the bright light.
But at this time, Fang Yu was staring at the stone platform in front of him.
He clearly saw that a phantus in the light was slowly expanding!
After a few seconds, the light dissipated, and the phantom turned into a physical entity!
A humanoid statue!
"It's ...... The humanoid statue on the top floor of the Sand God Temple that I saw with the Eye of Insight yesterday...... Fang Yu's eyes flashed, and his heart said.
But the statue in front of me is different from what I saw yesterday.
The statue I saw yesterday had its head covered with a black cloth.
But the statue in front of him, the head is not covered in any way.
It's an ordinary male face.
He raised his hands and merged them to form some kind of complex gesture.
Fang Yu had noticed this yesterday, but he hadn't studied it carefully.
And recently, seeing this statue again, Fang Yu was very interested in this gesture.
"This gesture...... It seems to be pinching, but what's the point of sculpting it like this?" Fang Yu frowned.
The statue appeared, causing an exclamation from the crowd in the distance.
Such a large statue appeared out of thin air.
Such a scene, for most people, is shocking enough.
"Ladies and gentlemen, offer your tribute. ”
In mid-air, the goddess Qin Yao spoke again.
Tribute?
Fang Yu saw the group of family representatives in front of him, and they all took out the tributes they had prepared from the storage bags on their bodies and walked towards the statues in front of them.
After walking to a position about ten meters away from the statue, the group of people stopped in a very tacit understanding and lined up in a queue.
The first people to walk out of the queue were the Yuan family couple, Yuan Chenglong and Fu Zhaorong.
The two held hands, Yuan Chenglong held a gift box in his left hand, walked to the statue, and placed the gift box on the ground in front of the stone platform below the statue.
Then, the two knelt down and kowtowed to the statue in front of them.
After kowtowing three heads, the two raised their heads, their eyes closed, and their expressions were reverent, as if they were making a wish.
After about three seconds, the two stood up.
"Poof!"
At this time, the statue in front of them, the hands that made strange gestures, glowed with a burst of whiteness.
"Smack!"
Then, a book that was not too thick fell from between his hands.
Yuan Chenglong immediately stretched out his hands to catch the book, his face extremely excited.
"Thank you Sand God for ......," Yuan Chenglong and Fu Zhaorong bowed together, and said respectfully and gratefully.
At this time, the civilians in the distance who were watching the excitement all opened their eyes and let out a burst of exclamation.
"The rumors are true!
"As long as you give a tribute to the statue of the sand god, and then make a wish for the items you want, the sand god will give the gods!"
"Oh my God...... It's true...... I want to go up too......"
In the crowd, there were sighs and sighs of envy.
At this time, Yuan Chenglong and Fu Zhaorong had already walked back into the crowd.
The next ones who went out were the Fu family couple, Fu Yousheng and Yuan Jiangmei.
The two repeated what Yuan Chenglong and his wife had done before.
After offering tribute and making a wish, the statue's hands shone again.
"Smack!"
This time, instead of a book, it was a dagger that glowed with a chill!
Fu Yousheng picked up the dagger, grabbed it in his hand, and after a brief observation, he hurriedly bent down to thank him.
"It's amazing...... Could it be that if you really make a wish, you can get what you want?" Bai Ran was shocked in his eyes and whispered.
Fang Yu looked at the statue in front of him, and then turned his head to look in the direction of Yuan Chenglong and his wife, who had just returned.
Through his astonishing eyesight, he was able to see the cover of the book in Yuan Chenglong's hand, with the words 'Dao Law Pure' written on it.
"This is a book of magic cheats. Fang Yu's eyes flashed, and he looked at Fu Yousheng again, "That's a dagger...... It's a different item, indeed. ”
"You can tell from the look on their face that they are getting what they want. It's just ......"
"It's kind of interesting. ”
Fang Yu raised his eyes, looked at the statue in front of him, and then raised his head again, looking at the Qin Yao Priestess in mid-air, with her long skirt fluttering.
At this moment, a third man stepped forward.
This person is from the Cheng family in the Western Capital, and he is also from a top family.
As with the previous process, after placing the tribute, the head of the Cheng family made a vow.
This time, however, the statue's hands glowed, but nothing was dropped.
After waiting for a while, the head of the Cheng family turned pale, shook his head helplessly and sighed, bent down and bowed, and said, "I'm very sorry that I couldn't offer the tribute that the gods love this time...... This is a mistake under the ...... Please believe that the sand god will definitely prepare a better tribute next time......"
Seeing this scene, the crowd in the distance erupted in exclamation.
It turns out that if you don't pay tribute, you will definitely be given!
If you want to get the gift of the sand god, you need to pay the tribute it wants!
The head of the Cheng family returned to the crowd, and someone comforted him.
"Master Cheng, there's no need to be too frustrated, I didn't get it this time, I will definitely have it next time. ”
"Well, next time I will definitely prepare better tributes and take out all the family heirlooms!" said the head of the Cheng family with a resolute face.
But except for a few comforting people, most of the other family representatives had a look of schadenfreude in their eyes.
The divine artifact given by the sand god has a high probability of changing the strength of a family.
The Cheng family didn't get it this time, so the family behind it had a chance to catch up!
At this time, Fang Yu looked at the statue, and his eyes became playful.
He wasn't sure before.
But after seeing the fate of the head of the Cheng family, he was basically sure that the so-called sacrificial ceremony was actually a large-scale money-collecting activity, or even a scam!
Among them, Fang Yu had basically figured it out.
Next, one after another, representatives of the Maison stepped forward and offered the elaborate tributes.
Through their devout vows, some people can be given and others can't.
Those who have been given have a smile of excitement on their faces, while those who have not been given have a sad face and sigh.
These two emotions are quite distinct, and in the following period, they constantly change and appear on everyone's face.
