The fifty-first life cannot be born, and death cannot be died, which is the most painful.
He approached Zhao Yuanling quietly, "Princess, mourn." ”
Only some rotten flesh remained of the huge fishtail, and the white bones of the forest were exposed. The upper body is no different from the structure of a human body, and Zhao Yuanling can't imagine what the shark looked like before his death.
She had seen corrupt officials and gangsters who were executed on the spot, a glass of poisoned wine, or simply beheaded, and although she had not looked directly at the torture, she also knew how cruel it was.
Looking at the merman with little skin and flesh left on his body, it is comparable to Ling Chi, gouging out his eyes, and the pain of cutting his bones.
It is said that their flesh is immortal, but the wounded flesh will not heal.
There's only one way to get them dead - to cut them in half.
If its upper body and tail are not separated, it will survive permanently.
This means that the most tenacious races will suffer if they fall into the hands of any evil man.
Life cannot be born, death cannot be died, it is the most painful.
"Sacrifice, up!"
As the priest's voice sounded, a gong and drum sounded, and a dense murmur suddenly sounded around him.
The fishermen spoke at the same time, reciting a scripture they did not understand.
Zhao Yuanling and Mo Bai also moved their mouths and followed silently.
The towering flames reached the highest point, and Lao Da and Lao Er slowly lowered the rope together until the merman's corpse was soaked in the sea.
Its bones are unsinkable, and the two of them can control the lifting and lowering of the rope with one hand, but the strange thing is that the bones of the dead mermaid are stained with water as if they weigh a thousand gold.
Lao Da and Lao Er's bodies leaned down on the ground and were pulled down.
Seeing this, the remaining three brothers hurriedly stepped forward to help, and finally climbed five strong men in a row before they could barely drag the rope.
"It's fucking heavy!" Lao San "snorted", gritted his teeth and grabbed the rope hard.
With the sound of the fishermen chanting the prayers, the minutes and seconds passed.
There was still not a trace of fluctuation in the turbulent waters, except for the dark clouds in the sky that gradually began to coalesce, and a thick black cloud condensed above them.
"Big brother, I think it's no longer in line this time." Lao Er said.
Lao Da snorted coldly, "I didn't expect the shark to show up. ”
The fishermen standing on the side stared at it for a long time, but they still didn't see the slightest movement, and couldn't help but get anxious, "What's going on, there have been no sharks taking the bait for three years, could it be that this Dragon King Sacrifice really can't be done in the future?" ”
"So what's not? Do you think they're like fish in the water, and you'll never be able to catch them? It's all because you are too greedy, and you said don't be in a hurry, you have to die! Lao Wu said angrily.
Of the five brothers, he earned the least, and at first he was reluctant, but now a group of fishermen follow him to rob.
I knew that I wouldn't be so stubborn, just let go and do it! Now it's not as if the brothers make the least money.
Since these fishermen knew that there were sky-high sharks in the sea, they also tried their best to catch their own fish, and even did not hesitate to go out to sea at night in the storm.
The brothers watched as they were robbed of their jobs, but they were powerless to stop them.
"Even fish fry have time to grow, you just go out to sea to catch sharks without restraint, you should have thought of this day a long time ago!" He looked away in anger.
"Hey, what do you say?" When one of the fishermen heard this, he immediately let go of his hand, and the rope was pulled down by one person, and the other people were involuntarily dragged down.
Lao Wu shouted, "What is this for? Don't die! What should we do if a few of our brothers fall? ”
"Fall, fall, fall! Why aren't you afraid of death when you're rich? Now that your brothers are starving to death, the fishermen near our Linglong Ruins are gone, and they blame us for catching all the mermaids, what does this mean? He said unconvinced.
When the other fishermen heard this, they also angrily denounced together: Obviously, it is your Lao brothers who have caught the most sharks, or you are taking the lead, why are you still blaming us for being greedy? ”
"Now that you can't catch the merman, what do you say?"
The fishermen who participated in the Dragon King Festival were only 100 families living near Linglong Market, and since the Dragon King Festival, most of the silver they got was used to strengthen the house.
After all, this place has been eroded by the sea breeze all the year round, and the houses are easy to collapse, and many residents have moved to the inner city to live, and the ore needed to strengthen the houses is expensive.
They still have children and grandchildren, and they still have to eat rice, and they are not happy to go back to the poor life they lived before!
"That's it, or I think you should hand over the rest of the sharks, and we will all divide them equally, I see that you are on that island all the year round, I'm afraid there are a lot of sharks in your private collection, right?"
The small island near the sea area was bought by the Lao brothers, and in addition to their permission, other fishermen were not qualified to approach, and they also sent people to handle it on weekdays and cover it tightly.
"What the hell do you want?" Half of Lao Da's face was hidden in a thick beard, and his eyes shone with a fierce and sharp light.
The fisherman standing beside him subconsciously took a few steps back, and then straightened his waist under the gaze of everyone.
"What do you want? Naturally, the merman was handed over, how many mermaids did your brothers kill in total? The allocated money can't fit in the house, look at us! ”
"It's just that we can only eat the meat that sticks out between your teeth......"
Lao Da's eyelids lifted and he looked at the man who spoke just now, and the other party instantly shut up.
"You go on."
The fisherman then said, "Unless you give each of our families a merman!" ”
The value of a merman is comparable to that of a house of silver.
If they can get a shark, at least they can have no worries in their lives, but sharks are not easy to find, except for the annual dragon king festival, the fishermen go out to sea to catch a shark The chance is very small.
It's like fishing for gold in the ocean.
Because the Lao brothers have always had a surviving merman in their hands, they used their companions to attract more mermen to take the bait.
And they can only sit back and watch them make a fortune.
Eyes red to teeth gnashing.
If every family can get a merman, does it mean that there is a steady stream of mermaids taking the bait?
The mountains of gold and silver seem to be right in front of you.
When the fishermen below heard this, their eyes exuded a scorching and cannibalistic light, and their eyes were like fire, as if they could burn a hole in the Lao brothers.
"You're crazy! 100 households, 100 sharks!? Lao San's face was incredulous, and his eyes widened.
"You just divided the five of us brothers!"
Lao Er spread his hands and said with a wry smile helplessly: "The Dragon King Festival has not produced a merman for three years, you don't see it, let alone a hundred mermaids now, even if there is not a single merman." ”
"Not a single one? We don't believe it! ”
"That's it!"
"We don't believe you!"
“……”
"If you don't believe it or not, if you don't believe it, you can see!" Law roared aggressively in the direction of the island.
The priest's eyes lit up with excitement, and then he nodded, and three or five young men stepped forward.
"Just go!"
The distance of the island was not far, and several young men knew the nature of the water, and after a while they swam over.
Seeing them skillfully walking towards the cave, Lao Si couldn't help but sneer lightly, but fortunately, the eldest brother insisted on not looking for fishermen from the same village to do it.
These white-eyed wolves don't know how long they've been coveting.
The fishermen were looking forward to it, and all of them had excited expressions on their faces.
The sharks caught by the Lao brothers were all transported to the island, and they had no chance to go to the island at all.
Everyone doesn't know how many sharks are hidden on it, but they only know that there are a lot of them, otherwise they wouldn't have sent so many people to guard against them.
Soon, though, they were disappointed.
"I didn't see the merman."
"I've searched inside and out, and there is no trace of the shark."
"How is that possible?"
"Did your brothers secretly hide the mermaids somewhere?"
"Where can I hide? If we can catch the merman, will we use this dead one as bait? "Lao Wu was furious.
"If you say no, you don't, now the island has also been searched, and this dragon king festival has also been done, so it's broken, starting this year, there will be no dragon king sacrifice in the future." Lao Da is burly and strong, with horizontal eyebrows, and the words he says have a strong deterrent effect.
No one dared to squeak.
But now that he has missed a front tooth, his speech is a little funny, and this dragon king sacrifice is a big deal, if it is really gone, what should they do?
"No way!"
"You're rich, but what about us?"
"This sea area is everyone, why have you occupied it for so long, and now you won't do it?"
"And what do you want?" Lao Da spat and flew sideways, and kicked directly at the fire next to him.
Sparks splashed in all directions, startling everyone.
Seeing that they were shrinking their necks one by one, they didn't dare to squeak, and Lao Da snorted coldly.
I thought that this dragon king sacrifice would be over.
In the crowd, I don't know who took the lead and shouted: "It's okay if you don't do it, then give money!" ”
Immediately afterwards, the fishermen chimed in: "Give the money, give the money!" ”
"Give money to money!"
"Fuck, are these people crazy? Why don't you just go to the bank and grab the money? Lao Si was so angry that he laughed at this group of shameless "robbers".
Lao Da also scolded angrily: "If you don't want money, you have to die!" Those are all earned by our brothers by their own skills, why do you say that they want to give them to you? ”
"I knew that I didn't listen to that stinky Taoist priest in the first place, you shameless white-eyed wolves! We still take you to get rich, do you treat your benefactor like this? "Lao Er was indignant,
His face was flushed with anger.
When he said this, someone immediately came out to refute, "What is a benefactor? Obviously, this sea area belongs to everyone, and you found that the mermaids did not report it and swallowed it privately, so we reluctantly told everyone when we found out.
