Chapter 160: Sacrifice

After drinking the fish soup, a long time has passed.

Powered by the current, the boat was halfway there.

Xu was bored, and with a meal of fish soup, the old man took the initiative to talk to Fang Yuan, saying some interesting things about the rivers and lakes, what he saw and heard.

The girl put away the dishes while quietly pricking up her ears to listen to the discussion between the two.

The old man has made a living on the Qinglan River all his life, and has carried many high-rollers to and fro.

Knowing a lot of news, coming and going, plus hearsay, can be regarded as well-informed.

We talked and said a lot of interesting things.

Although most of them were strange talks, Fang Yuan also listened to them with relish.

When talking about the rise, the old man said mysteriously.

"Childe, I think you are also an extraordinary person, you must also know immortals......

"Oh? I have indeed heard of it, and I have even been in contact with it. The so-called immortals are just cultivators. ”

Fang Yuan didn't show any surprise, he said with some unchanged faces, he was a cultivator himself, and it was not a deception to say that he had personally come into contact with it.

"Childe has been in contact with it personally?"

After hearing Fang Yuan's words, the old man showed a look of surprise. He originally wanted to tell a story that surprised Fang Yuan, but he didn't expect that he would be taken aback first.

"Sort of!"

Fang Yuan nodded.

"Childe is really extraordinary......"

The old man showed a look of envy, and at the same time his eyes quietly looked at his granddaughter, with a bit of complexity.

Fang Yuan's words didn't seem to be fake. If the son in front of him has really come into contact with the immortals. The dignity of that identity can be imagined.

The girl who eavesdropped on the conversation between the two was also slightly stunned, although she didn't think about it so much.

But the emotional instinct is a little lost, and there is a feeling of discomfort in my heart for no reason.

The expressions and movements of the ancestors and grandsons were fully visible to Fang Yuan, but he didn't say anything, but pretended not to know.

His existence, for the two of them, is a hurried passer-by who meets in a hurry.

Besides, the girl is just a yearning for beautiful things, not love, so why should he make an amorous poke and embarrass a few people.

The old man sighed to himself and said nothing more.

The boat moved slowly, not far from the shore.

However, the sky is unpredictable.

The days of April are changing. It was cloudless and clear just now, but in the blink of an eye, it became dark and dreary.

A spring rain began to fall without warning.

The rain poured down, and the curtain of rain covered the entire sky and earth.

The rain poured on the flat boat, making a ping-pong sound.

The old man hurriedly put on the hat on his back, walked to the bow of the boat, picked up the oars, and prepared to speed up the boat so that it would come to the shore.

Years of sailing experience let the old man know that he can't stay on the river for a long time.

When it rains and the tide rises, there may be an accident.

He rowed the oars with endurance, and at the same time shouted to Fang Yuan, "Childe, quickly enter the cabin to take shelter from the rain!" ”

took people's money, did things for others, and received Fang Yuan's money, so he naturally wanted to deliver it unscathed.

This is the principle, but also the integrity, but also the foundation of his life.

Hearing this, Fang Yuan nodded, it was not far from the shore, there was no need for him to reveal his identity to help.

Soon, with the efforts of the old man, the boat docked.

The grass by the river holds the anchor in place.

The three of them stepped off the boat, and the girl stood side by side with Fang Yuan with a shabby oil-paper umbrella.

With this umbrella, I don't care about the difference between men and women.

Besides, being able to get close to Fang Yuan, the girl was not only a little shy, but also a little happy in her heart.

She has grown up since she was a child, except for her grandfather, this is a close relationship with a man.

Smelling the faint smell of Fang Yuan's body, the girl felt a little strange in her heart.

"Childe, there seem to be some people in front of you, you should be able to find a village to shelter from the rain!"

The old man, dressed in a cloak and wearing a hat, walked in front, and when the girl was in a daze, he made a sound.

Fang Yuan looked up,

But I saw a group of farmers and peasants gathered there on the riverside in front of me, not knowing what to do.

Vaguely,

It seemed to be the sound of a child crying.

Fang Yuan was a little curious, and poked out his divine sense, and a powerful divine soul came out through his body, enveloping everything around him, reaching dozens of zhang away.

However, everything that his divine sense found out made him feel a little angry.

The figure disappeared in a flash, disappearing from its place, and at the same time a loud shout rang out out of thin air.

"Bastard, stop it!"

Before the words fell, in the next second, Fang Yuan's figure appeared dozens of zhang away.

But seeing this, a group of village husbands and peasant women knelt by the river and kept bowing to the rushing river.

In front of them was a wooden cage containing two children of four or five years old, a boy and a girl.

The child was anxiously beating the cage, crying and screaming, his face full of fear and despair.

However, no matter how much they cried for help, it was to no avail, and the group of people did not seem to hear, and there was not the slightest expression on their faces.

There is no mistake

Next to the cage, there are four shirtless strong men who are slowly carrying the cage to the river, about to push it into the muddy water by the river.

The yellow turbid river rushed and flooded, pouring into the wooden cage,

The older girl in the cage hugged her brother who was afraid of crying constantly, and pulled up the wooden cage with her hands, but the rushing turbid river water had already submerged more than half of the two of them.

The girl's small face was pale, and her eyes looked in horror at the four strong men beside her who were pushing the cage into the raging river.

His lips trembled, and he couldn't speak.

This scene of human tragedy, Fang Yuan's eyes were split, although he was a person who cultivated immortals, his feelings were indifferent, and his hands were stained with many names, but he was not a ruthless person.

How can one be indifferent?

"Stop me!!"

Fang Yuan let out a loud shout, and his mana erupted, knocking the four strong men around the wooden cage away in an instant.

At the same time, he used mana to drag up the wooden cage, pulled up the wooden cage that was about to sink into the turbid and churning river, and then slowly put it on the open ground, and after confirming that it was safe, the cage was shattered.

All this happened between lightning and flint, and the people around him had not yet come to see everything clearly, and they seemed very dazed.

The rescued children don't know why, and they still don't know what happened, but they also know that they are safe.

However, due to fear, the two still hugged each other, trembling.

Sudden changes,

The villagers stopped kneeling.

Stand up,

Then I saw the crowd parting,

An old man on crutches and with a face like the bark of an old locust tree walked out angrily,

The crutches slammed a few times on the grass by the river,

questioned Fang Yuan, who suddenly came out:

"Who are you, and why did you interrupt our sacrifice to the river god?"

He still didn't know the identity of Fang Yuan's immortal, although he saw Fang Yuan use his methods.

But in the rivers and lakes, many martial arts masters can also do it, so they didn't think much about it.

After all, in the old man's view, immortals all exist in legends, and they are all the existence of the divine dragon.

Where could it be so coincidental that it appeared here, so I didn't think about it for a while.

Only then did he dare to speak like this to Fang Yuan, but he was not too presumptuous, after all, the means revealed by Fang Yuan just now should not be underestimated, which made them quite jealous.

"What kind of bullshit sacrifice, do you still have to use two children as sacrifices?!"

Fang Yuan had also heard of the use of boys and girls as sacrificial objects, but today was the first time he had seen them.

This kind of sacrifice is mostly worshiped by some evil gods and demon clans, so he is merciless.

"What do you know as an outsider?!"

"This Qinglan River is a river god with a serious eight classics, if it is not blessed by the river god, where will the wind and rain come from? Besides, their parents don't have an opinion, what are you meddling in? ”

The old man angrily rebuked Fang Yuan.

In this world similar to a feudal society, if parents have no opinion, even the government can't say much.

As an outsider, it was indeed inappropriate for Fang Yuan to meddle rashly.

"Hurry up and hand over the people to us, otherwise don't blame us rough people for being rude!"

"That's right! Get out of here and hand them over! ”

"If you provoke the angry river god, you have something to eat!"

"Strangers, you are not welcome here, get out of here!"

Behind him, a group of villagers echoed loudly, and the momentum was surging.

Fang Yuan stared at the group of people in front of him, his eyes were full of coldness.
