Chapter 157: Strange Things in the River
For their words, the fallen leaves listened to it and thought that they didn't hear it, so they didn't bother talking about it.
But thinking of the scene of the silly girl doing housework at home at this moment, Fallen Leaves smiled heartily, and then came to them.
"Do you know that it is very rude for you to discuss others behind your back?" Although the tone was flat, there was a hint of questioning in it
"Who is it?"
Several bereaved family members turned their heads and found the comer, their eyes full of horror, their faces were shocked, and they quickly knelt on the ground and begged for forgiveness.
"Immortals... Immortals, I was wrong! ”
"Forgive the little ones! We're really just talking about it, and we don't mean anything else! ”
"And we're saying... It's all true....."
"Shut up! You're looking for death! A young man of eighteen or nineteen years old raised his hand and slapped the young man who was only fourteen or fifteen years old on the head, signaling him not to talk nonsense!
Falling leaves squinted their eyes and didn't let them get up, and said indifferently: "It's a bad habit to talk about other people's criticism behind your back if you don't study well, not to mention that you have said a little too much." ”
"Do you think the stupid girl will kill me? I'll tell you right now - no! I'll be alive and well if I fall someone! ”
Although they may just talk casually, gossip, and with the strength of the fallen leaves, they don't have to talk to them like this.
But Falling Leaves still said so, he wanted to see if the stupid girl was a "blessing" or a "curse".
It is "blessing" that may not be blessed by itself, or it can be said that it is unworthy.
But if it's a disaster, take it yourself! No one wants her to be hurt, not even the slightest grievance!
Because in his heart, Bai Wei's status has occupied a very important position in his heart!
"Ahem. . . Cough... Immortals don't be angry, they are all children, listening to the wind is rain, and they can't be taken seriously. At this time, an old man came over, happened to see this scene, and immediately scolded them.
Luo Ye looked at the old man in front of him, and he had the impression that this was one of the ten elders of the relic, known as the ninth elder, and his status in the relict was very high, and he was almost the same as the high priest.
"Doesn't the Ninth Elder think so?" Fallen leaves were surprised, the people in the remnant tribe were so superstitious, not to mention the older generation.
"It's... That girl from the Bai family has an extraordinary temperament, she looks so dusty, she looks like a rich and noble person. The ninth elder shook his head and sighed, "But that girl is really pitiful, her loved ones have passed away one after another, and although her personality is gentle, she rarely socializes with others, so she has been estranged from her clan for a long time." ”
Falling leaves knew that Bai Wei was so close to herself, so others didn't talk much.
"She is not pitiful, I will pass on her exercises and practice, and take her out to see the outside world." Fallen leaves said blandly.
When the ninth elder heard that he was going to go out of the outside world, his face changed, "Immortals must not be, you may not know something, although the river is a river, it is vast for thousands of miles!" It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a vast ocean! ”
"Although our remnant tribe is large, it is surrounded by rivers, and we are in the middle of the remnant river, and although there are many small islands around, it is very dangerous."
"It is rumored that there are many big demons outside the river, and our clansmen only dare to live in the tribe and dare not leave the river, because when a clansman approached the edge of the river by boat, there was a monster roar, which was terrifying and scary."
When the Ninth Elder said this, his whole body trembled, "Every once in a while, our tribe can hear the roar of the big demon in the distance, and I am afraid that when they cross the river, our tribe will face annihilation!" ”
"So, you worship the river god, hoping to keep your tribe safe?"
Fallen leaves came to interest, before he just arrived in this place fell into the unknown location of the relic, and then went ashore, found out the existence of the relict tribe, and then went, in the process met the stupid girl.
He didn't sense the breath of any big demons, some only had some demon beasts under the cultivation, could it be that these demon beasts were talking about?
"Alas, with the blessing of Lord River God, our tribe has indeed gotten much better in recent years, and the roar of the big demon in the distance has also decreased, all thanks to Lord River God!" When the nine elders talked about the river god, their eyes were full of admiration and awe, just like seeing the "immortals".
Falling leaves squinted their eyes, it seemed that they were going to take a look outside the Relic River, the big demon in their mouth should be some fierce beasts in the Foundation Realm or Kaiyuan Realm, otherwise it would be very simple to enter the Relic Tribe.
"Oh, yes!" As if remembering something, the nine elders said respectfully to the fallen leaves: "Today is the last day of the river sacrifice ceremony, so the clansmen are preparing for the sacrifice, so they didn't say hello to the immortals." ”
"Now that the sacrifice is over, the elders of the tribe have invited the immortals to gather in the ancestral hall."
Falling leaves said they didn't care, nodded and said, "Let's go"
Coming to the ancestral hall of the remnant tribe, there were many people gathered outside at this moment, and there were extremely old people sitting inside, they were all elders of the remnant tribe, and their status was extremely high.
"The immortals are coming!"
"The immortal really looks so young!"
"It's so handsome..."
Seeing that the tribesmen were talking, Fallen Leaf smiled, and then walked into the lobby.
There were seven old men and one old woman in the hall, seven of the eight were clan elders, and one was the dark purple robed high priest.
"Immortals, please!"
"Immortals, please!"
When they saw the fallen leaves coming in, they all stood up with an extremely respectful attitude, and they were almost a thousand years old together, but they had to bend down to a young man who looked less than twenty.
However, no one felt strange, after all, this was an "immortal", and it was already extremely rare to be able to see him.
One of them, an old man who was less than five feet old, had a kind face, and said respectfully to the fallen leaves: "Immortals, please sit with the Lord." ”
Falling leaves looked at the middle position, did not hesitate, disappeared in place and appeared on the seat, which ushered in everyone's exclamation and admiration.
Fallen leaves also earned a lot of adventure points in this touting.
"I don't know what you're looking for me." Fallen leaves looked at them and whispered.
Especially the high priest sitting next to him, the other party nodded calmly, and he couldn't see anything.
An old man who was a cyan long-distance runner with a protruding forehead and a small pointed chin, who was also sitting next to the fallen leaves, explained: "We don't want to disturb the immortals either, and we invite the immortals here today to discuss the matter of the little girl Bai Wei." ”
He is the fourth elder, and his status is extremely high, since the first three elders were not born, he has been in charge of all the affairs of the clan.
Except for the high priest, none of the other clan elders had him.
The only female clan elder on the side also spoke, she is the fifth elder, and her status is only below the fourth elder and the high priest, "This little girl of the Bai family has accumulated great blessings in her last life, and she was saved by the immortals, it is her life, but this behavior has already offended Lord River God, and others are not as good as her." ”
Her cloudy eyes were mixed with things, although it seemed that Bai Wei had a good life, but there was actually a hint of blame.
The high priest's slightly heavy eyelids opened, and he also spoke, "The immortals don't know, this river god is the guardian saint of our bereaved clan, and it is natural to worship sacrifices, but now that the sacrifices have not been delivered to the river gods, I am afraid that the tribesmen will be punished for this..."
"Oh?" Falling Leaf raised her eyebrows, her tone was still flat, "It's my fault to listen to what you mean, blame me for saving her." ”
"Ahh Don't dare, don't dare! ”
"How could it be..."
"We just..."
Several clan elders were embarrassed and a little scared, and hurriedly apologized and explained this.
Luoye didn't want to embarrass them, so he gave a statement, "I said before, Bai Wei's girl has unparalleled qualifications, and she is a one-in-a-million immortal cultivation genius, and I saved her because I took a fancy to this, and I will also pass on her immortal law." ”
"None of the people in your tribe can cultivate, I can teach her the immortal method, and naturally I can pass it on to you, so you don't have to be afraid of any evil things."
Fallen Leaf rolled his eyes, and then said: "As for the river god you said, don't worry about this, I have already discussed with it before, and there will be no punishment for saving Bai Wei." ”
"And in the future, you will not use the living as sacrifices for the river ceremony."
"What? No human sacrifice is needed! ”
"It's... How can this be done, Lord River God will not agree. ”
"Don't say that Lord River God doesn't agree, even the High Priest can't agree!"
"What if you don't agree, that's an immortal, who dares not to listen to the words of an immortal!?"
Seeing the people outside the hall whispering, the high priest frowned and scolded: "The ancestral land of the hall, don't give more." ”
Then he turned his head to everyone, with "fear" in his eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "If Lord River God does not have a woman as a sacrifice, I am afraid that he will be angry, and then our bereaved family will be punished very severely, I am afraid that you have forgotten the incident that happened decades ago!?" ”
Seeing the high priest like this, several clan elders showed frightened expressions, and everyone remembered the strange things that happened that day, and they were afraid that it would happen to them. ”
Falling Leaf squinted his eyes and became interested, "What happened to make you like this." ”
"It's... Since the immortal asked, it is not easy for us to hide it. The four elders sighed, and then opened their mouths.
"Twenty years ago, a strange thing happened, that day was night, and the monsters outside the river roared and shook the sky, and for some reason a huge whirlpool was formed in the river, and suddenly the wind and rain were called, and the lightning flashed and thundered."
"And there was a dark shadow in the river, there were still a few clansmen outside, and at night in the river, there were still people in the boat, when I went out to check, I just saw the black shadow eat the clansmen in the river, and let out a painful scream."
"And the people who went out on the other islands the next day are gone, presumably... They have all become food for the mouth of the dark shadow! ”
The fourth elder said, glanced at the fallen leaves, and sighed: "That night, the grandparents of the little daughter of the Bai family happened to be in the river by boat, and they must have left the river to find the outside world, so they angered some taboos. ”
The old woman was also a little angry: "Originally, it was forbidden in the clan to leave the Relic River, and it was not possible to get close to the Relic River!" The two of them didn't listen, so they had to go out, which is why the monsters in the river were attracted. ”
"If it weren't for the chance encounter with the High Priest at that time, I'm afraid our entire remnant tribe would have been destroyed! All the people are going to be eaten! ”
