Chapter 536: New River God Sacrifice, Eat Fish Meat, Drink Fish Soup!
The appearance of Chen Jingqiu and Yu Xiaoxue not only attracted the attention of Zhang Fang, who was always open to seeing and hearing, but also was soon noticed by the villagers who were almost alive.
And the attitude of the villagers towards the protagonist group is far worse than facing Zhang Fang
"Immortals" come respectfully. Upon seeing the two of them, the villagers who noticed them immediately glared at them.
Two of them had a big temper, and they couldn't help but shout angrily on the spot: "You two still have the face to come back? You almost killed all of us, you know? Chen Jingqiu was asked with a blank face, while Yu Xiaoxue on the side was full of guilt.
Seeing this, Zhang Fang asked in a low voice at the first time: "Don't get excited, tell me first, what happened, why are you so hostile to these two young people?" ”
"Enlightened Immortals!" The old village chief's attitude towards Zhang Fang was simply respectful to the point of impeccable. Hearing his inquiry, he immediately bowed and saluted, and then explained: "That girl's name is Yu Xiaoxue, she has been an orphan since she was a child, and she was raised by Uncle He of the village inn together with her younger brother Xiaoshuo. Xiao Shuo is the lame child who was rescued by the immortals before. ”
"In recent years, our village has been threatened by the intercourse, and every year a young girl is offered for the intercourse to enjoy. We can't bear this either, but Najiaojing is so powerful that we ordinary mountain villagers can compete with it, so we can only draw lots every year to decide the children to be sacrificed, as Najiaojing said. Speaking of sadness, the old village chief's eyes couldn't help but slip a few tears.
"This year, I just happened to draw the daughter of Dr. Yue in the village."
Xiaoxue's child actually took the initiative to find the other party and wanted to use himself to replace Dr. Yue's daughter to pay tribute to the river god. And as a condition, Dr. Yue must do her best to heal her brother's leg......"
"Humph!" The old village chief was only halfway through his words, when a strong man on the side couldn't help but interrupt angrily: "She obviously promised to sacrifice herself to worship the river god, but she was unwilling to be eaten by the river god, and she annoyed the river god with that reckless boy, and almost killed all of us!" Hearing this strong man's words, Zhang Fang suddenly frowned: "What river god?" A little cross-haired sperm is also worthy of being called a god? It's ridiculous! The strong man was scolded by Zhang Fang, and he was immediately so frightened that he shrunk his neck and didn't dare to say anything more.
After all, the person in front of him was easily killed
O god of the river! Once you annoy the gods, no one can bear the consequences. And from the attitude of this immortal's speech, it is not difficult to see that he despises the river god sacrifice in his heart.
"Don't blame the immortals." At the critical moment, the old village chief took the initiative to stand up and said in a low voice: "This Liu Dazhuang is actually a hard-working person. When the river god festival was drawn last year, his daughter was unfortunately selected, and although he was reluctant, he finally offered his daughter to the Jiaojing in tears, in exchange for a year's peace for the whole village. Zhang Fang nodded lightly when he heard this, but he didn't show any clear attitude, and for a while, all the villagers were silent, and they didn't dare to make a sound.
In fact, Zhang Fang didn't know what to say about the behavior of these villagers, including Liu Dazhuang, so he simply didn't evaluate it.
Compared with the rights and wrongs of these ordinary villagers, of course, it is still their own main quest, which is a little more important.
Thinking of this, Zhang Fang immediately said: "Now that Jiaojing is dead, there is no point in discussing these things. It's better to continue your river god sacrifice, and change the content to a celebration to eliminate the fake river god, every family has to eat fish and meat, boil fish soup, and the big guy has a good time! Hearing this, the villagers led by the old village chief couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
And this kind of operation? But if you think about it carefully, it seems that the custom of the New Year probably came from like this?
That's fine! Zhang Fang lightly revealed the matter, and then politely refused the villagers' invitation to him to participate in the river god sacrifice together, eat fish and drink fish soup, and instead beckoned to Chen Jingqiu and Yu Xiaoxue, who were excluded by the villagers: "You two, come with me." Leaving Yuehe Village with the two people in the protagonist group, while walking in the direction of Fumo Mountain, Zhang Fang asked casually: "In your hearts at the moment, are you resenting those villagers for being ignorant and taking revenge?" Yu Xiaoxue immediately shook her head and said, "No, no!" After all, Chen Jingqiu is an educated person, and he has to speak in a much more organized manner: "The immortal laughed. Those villagers are powerless to resist Jiaojing, and the only way to survive is to compromise and seek all. ”
"On the contrary, I have already intervened in this matter, but in the cave, I have not been able to remove this scourge for the villagers, but almost killed more people. Speaking of which, I should be ashamed. Hearing this, Zhang Fang shook his head lightly again: "Speaking of which, my approach is actually not much different from yours. If I had to say anything different, it was probably just that I was stronger, and I could easily kill that head of the sperm, leaving him with no chance to escape. When Chen Jingqiu heard this, he immediately said: "No! In fact, in this matter, my approach is indeed too reckless. To tell the truth, the younger generation has followed the master to learn the Guigu Taoism since he was a child, and he also has some ability to ask himself. ”
"If I could have prepared more fully before I rescued people, and laid out the formation in advance, so that Jiaojing could not escape, what would have happened later." As he spoke, he scratched the back of his head very embarrassedly: "If it weren't for the help of the immortals today, I'm afraid that before we rush back, there will be many villagers who will lose their lives in vain because of my reckless actions." Hearing Chen Jingqiu say this, Zhang Fang couldn't help but flash a smile of relief on his face.
can reflect on so many things through one thing, this Chen Jingqiu doesn't seem to be as useless as he thinks.
Stopping, Zhang Fang turned his head to look at Chen Jingqiu, and then said: "Introduce myself again, my name is He Ran, you can call me by my name directly, or call Brother He, don't always call me immortals, I look like a swaggering fortune teller." After a slight pause, he immediately added: "I think about what I said to the villagers before, and the two of you have already heard it. I'm here to track down the powerful demonic aura that suddenly appeared in this area yesterday. ”
"But when I arrived, I found that the demonic aura had disappeared."
"I suspect that it may be a demon that suddenly appeared, and used some method to hide its own aura, which made me pounce." Speaking of this, Zhang Fang looked at Chen Jingqiu with burning eyes: "I saw that Chen Shaoxia is also a cultivator, and he happened to stay here for the past two days. That's why I called you out alone, just to ask Chen Shaoxia, when the Tiangu eclipsed the sun yesterday, could you detect any powerful demonic qi surging? "When the tengu eclipse, the powerful demonic aura that appeared?
When Chen Jingqiu heard Zhang Fang mention this matter again, a trace of confusion flashed on his face at first, then it was replaced by shock, and finally it turned into an indescribable ecstasy.
Follow, poop
"Poof" knelt down in front of Zhang Fang, and said loudly: "Chen Jingqiu begged the immortals, you must save my master!" ”
