Chapter 147: The Bride in the River

"Gather the breath of heaven and earth, the faith of all people, the yin of women, and worship the river god!"

"Ghosts and gods are strange, ghosts and spirits walk at night, suffer from natural disasters, and please protect me and others with the river god... Please also ask the river god to protect us and others..."

As the sun sets, approaching dusk, the heavens and the earth are drowsy, only a slight light, and by the edge of an endless river, a group of people in fancy clothes are praying, they are the aborigines here, and they are holding an annual festival to worship the river, hoping to be blessed by the river god.

"The auspicious time has come, put on makeup for the little girl of the Bai family, and bring the sacrifices to the ferry...!" The high priest at the head recited mantras and prayed scriptures to signal that they could get moving.

After a while, four men carried a sedan chair to the festival river, several old women did not know what to say, one of them stretched out a hand to lift the red curtain, and with their support, a woman in a red dress walked down.

"Send the sacrifice to the red bed!"

At the signal of the high priest, several old women slowly helped the woman in red to the red bed prepared in advance, although it was a red bed, but in fact it was a slightly festive red bamboo row, and they wanted to lie on it and give it to the river god......

The woman didn't seem to have any intention of resisting, and was calm the whole time, letting them arrange and give herself to the river god.

Some old people saw the little girl of the Bai family lying on the "red bed", and their hearts were like a big stone falling, and they sighed slightly: "Although under the blessing of the river god, our village has been peaceful and passed over the years, but many strange things have happened in the village in recent days, most of the middle-aged men have not returned from hunting in the mountains, and all kinds of chickens, dogs, and livestock have died mysteriously, it seems that the village will not be too peaceful this year." ”

An old woman wrinkled her face full of vicissitudes, and said angrily: "The high priest said, there must be someone in the village who offended the river god, so there will be so many unfortunate things, and now there is the little daughter of the Bai family and the legacy of the ancestors as offerings, presumably the river god will like it, and then our village will return to its former peace." ”

"Alas, it's just a pity for the little girl of the Bai family, but she has just reached the age of twenty-eight, and she is born with a water spirit, so she is going to be dedicated to the river god, and I can't bear it..."

When a woman heard this, her face was full of indifference: "She is the only one left in the Bai family, she is the most suitable to use as a sacrifice, what's wrong, is she distressed?" If you feel distressed, then take your granddaughter as a sacrifice. ”

When those old people heard that they were taking their granddaughter as a sacrifice, they quickly shut up and didn't squeak, and finally had to mumble a few words in embarrassment, "Ahem... My granddaughter is married... Already married...."

Seeing the "sacrifice" lying on the red bed, the high priest nodded with satisfaction, revealing a row of black and yellow teeth, and his eyes were like ghost foxes and said mysteriously to the villagers: "This priest calculates the days, and there will be immortals in the mortal world in the near future, and he will become the guardian saint of my village at that time, bless us, not only to bless peace, but also to prolong our life." ”

When the people in the village heard this, their hearts were shocked.

"What!? Immortals are coming, patron saints? Now our village is afraid that the world will be safe, and it will not be harassed by demons and monsters, thank you High Priest, thank you High Priest! ”

"High priest, you are worthy of being the nobleman of our village, all these years with you, we have been able to ensure that our wind and rain are smooth, and everyone is no longer worried about the invasion of ghosts and gods!"

"Great, if there is a guardian spirit in my village, I won't have to do such a hurtful thing in the future." There is an old man who watched the little girl of the Bai family grow up with a moving face,

The High Priest looked at him coldly, and his tone was dissatisfied, "Are you questioning Lord River God?" Although there are immortals coming, the river god must continue to worship, otherwise it will attract the wrath of the river god, and I am afraid that all the children in the village will die, so that our village will be cut off!! ”

........

"Ah~ my God, where is this!" Falling leaves shouted and fell from a high altitude, and threw themselves into a sinking river, and when they opened their eyes, they almost scared him half to death.

I saw that there were countless large and small corpses floating in the bottomless, dim and green light river, their brigade had long hair, only one skeleton remained, and some seemed to have just died, still with skin and flesh, the facial features were clearly visible, and they looked good, and they were an iconic beauty before their death.

"System, you, this is the perfect time for you to say? You come out for me! "Fallen leaves roar.

There are many such corpses, only most of the skeletons are left on the stones very low, and the ones floating in the river with the fallen leaves are all flesh and blood, and the corpses of women with pale faces and bloated skin are all soaked, of course, some are not swollen and the body remains intact, and it is precisely in this way that the fallen leaves feel creepy.

"I'm a good girl, it's not that I'm afraid of stabbing the dead!" The fallen leaves didn't dare to move at the bottom of the river, and hurriedly covered himself with true qi, the river water had deteriorated and had a bad smell, and he hurriedly hid himself in the true qi spirit cover.

Fallen leaves retched a little, and suddenly his face changed, and his feet seemed to be pulled by something, he frowned and quickly pulled, but as soon as he exerted his strength, he felt heavy, as if he had pulled something.

He hurriedly looked down, it doesn't matter if he doesn't look at it, he suddenly felt that he had fallen for eight lifetimes, and his feet didn't know when he was pulled by the hair of a female corpse, she looked like a young lady from a noble family, and her eyes were wide, and the fallen leaves scolded her bad luck, didn't she isolate it with her true qi, why was she still entangled by a female corpse, isn't this outrageous?

His body is sinking at the moment, the surrounding material under the river is very strange, it seems to be full of resentment and evil qi, his true qi shield has been washed away a lot, not only that, these waters seem to have a very strong suction, he is much slower in the water, I am afraid that ordinary Yuan Infant Realm monks will not be able to move a single inch here!

Falling leaves wanted to go upstream, and immediately threw off the female corpse, as soon as his feet landed, suddenly the female corpse disappeared, and Fallen Leaves' face became very bad, knowing what would happen in the next moment.

"Holy!" Sure enough, the next moment the female corpse appeared in front of him, and her eyes were still wide, although the female corpse's face was stiff and it was impossible to laugh, but he always felt that the other party was laughing weirdly.

At this moment, most of the female corpses around were slowly floating corpses, moving closer to the fallen leaves, their expressions almost different, some only half of their faces left, and some lacking key tissues.

"Although I don't want to be disrespectful to the corpse, but you guys are too scary, I'm sorry, my brother won't play with you, go first."

As soon as the eyes of the fallen leaves changed, they condensed the thunder method, and shook the surrounding female corpses with one palm, and countless female corpses were shaken to pieces by the falling leaves.

"Huh?" An extremely powerful gravitational force fell on the fallen leaves, and the fallen leaves were slightly surprised, what is this? It seems to be a formation, and it seems to... It's the power of spells! ”

Falling leaves faintly heard, strange scriptures chanting, extremely ghostly, and then those female corpses magically slowly approached themselves, listening to the sound of "grunting" in the water, as well as strange spell scriptures, and the female corpse slowly approaching him, but the falling leaves seemed extremely calm at this moment.

"What demons and monsters, I'm sorry, I'm an immortal cultivator, in front of my strength, I have to fall, let you gods and demons, let you banshee float corpses, all of them are nothing!" Falling Leaves' face turned cold, and Lei Fa instantly swept the entire bottom of the river, and under his loud shout, these female corpses all turned into powder and disappeared, leaving only the empty and bottomless river water at this moment.

"It seems that there is something under this river, it is not simple, the resentment accumulated in this river can actually have an impression on a powerful monk, he can feel that this touch of the deep river water will be hallucinating, even a cultivator, still not immune.

It's a pity that these don't have much effect on the fallen leaves, and his current divine soul has already reached the half-step divine realm under the effect of the crape myrtle breathing method, and even stronger will not be affected at all.

Falling leaves did just sink to the bottom of the river and were really shocked, but they weren't scared, they just felt surprised, and he was a purebred earthling, even if he didn't believe in the ghosts and gods, he revealed a little awe, looking at this terrifying scene that he had never experienced, he was quite calm.

The fallen leaves are leaping up at the moment, the river is very deep, he didn't react at first, he has been in the process of falling, if he is entangled by these female corpses again, maybe he will really fall to the bottom of the river.

"Hum... Hum..."

Fallen Leaf seemed to hear something, looking down, there was a vibration in the bottomless river, he used his soul power to test the bottom, but was blocked by an invisible force, and this is not the time to think about this, he only wants to think about the river!

"What the hell is screaming, eat the master, I'll strike with a thunderbolt!" The thunder method of the fallen leaf contains a trace of the power of the rules of heaven and earth, and it directly hits downward, and with the help of this force, the body of the fallen leaf jumps towards the water surface in the opposite direction.

[System: Tick... Publish the quest "Explore the things in the river" In the other world, in addition to the system releasing the task, any behavior of the host will trigger the hidden quest]

Fallen leaves only threw a sentence at this, "I'll go to your sister's..."

"Poof... Wow! ”

"Finally come up, it's really not a place for people to stay down there!" Fallen leaves looked around the river, insects, snakes, mosquitoes, ants, birds, beasts, and monsters all revealed weirdness, but he was not afraid, if they didn't have long eyes, he didn't mind sending them back to the west!

"Hey, there seems to be a light there, ahem, I just feel uncomfortable and hungry, go and see first." Falling leaves are always exploring, only to see a few kilometers away from the river somewhere there are lights and people's breath, do not stop, leap up.

"Damn, I'm really bad luck today, you give me the system, if you don't make it clear today, we didn't play!" Falling Leaves was angry, and it was a burst of shelling directly at it, "You said that you would shuttle, why did you choose such an unreliable place at the landing site, it was full of dead people and sunken corpses at the bottom of the river, and you could figure it out!" ”

[System: Every shuttle landing appears in a random location, not this system can make it difficult for the host, it has its own ....]

"I have your own sister... Do you have a sister? You don't! Falling leaves are still angry, extremely dissatisfied, in the end it has something to do with it, scolding and scolding, his eyes were suddenly stunned, and when he saw the red figure floating, he swallowed and spit, and said slowly: "... There's really a sister... Sister..."
