Whether there are ghosts or gods or not, let's not talk about it for the time being. It is said that after the foreign ship docked smoothly on the shore, eight people disembarked from the boat.

And among these eight people, the leader is actually a woman.

The woman was wrapped in a black cloak from top to bottom, and Wen Xian couldn't see her face clearly, but she saw that the scepter she was holding in her hand was similar to the scepter in the hand of the sail pattern sea god.

Wen Xian's heart condensed, could it be that the sea god is really here? But the sea god is clearly a man, how can he be a woman.

The woman was followed by two maids who were also cloaked, but unlike the black cloaks on the woman's body, the cloaks on the two maids were gray.

Behind them, there stood respectfully five middle-aged people dressed as villagers, who seemed to be ordinary fishermen.

Wen Xian breathed a sigh of relief, it didn't look like she was looking for trouble.

She was relieved when she saw the woman at the head look up at the place where they were hiding, and then walked in their direction.

Wen Xian: ......

She was amazed in her heart, who was that person had such good eyesight and could find their hiding place at a glance.

In this situation, Wen Xian couldn't hide anymore, so she jumped down from the tree with Sheng Li'er and took the initiative to walk towards those people.

Just a few people, I think she and Sheng Li'er can deal with it.

However, before they could get to the house, she and Sheng Li'er were stopped by the fishermen standing in front of the black-cloaked woman.

"How many of you are going to the island?" Wen Xian took the first step and said, "There are wild wolves on the island, and they only went down the mountain yesterday to make trouble, so if you want to go up the mountain, you need to be cautious." ”

The island was not private, and she had no right to prevent others from coming up. But let's get to the bottom of it and see what these people are trying to do.

"Of course there are wolves on Death Island." Not only wolves, but also wild beasts, none of them dared to come.

The uncle standing at the front said inexplicably: "Little girl, what are you doing on Death Island, there are many beasts on the island, and ordinary people avoid here." ”

Otherwise, with such a large island, they, the nearby aborigines, would have come up to mine it a long time ago.

Dead Island? Wen Xian hid the emotions in her eyes and said quietly: "Then what are you doing here?" ”

She didn't expect this island to be called Death Island, and it seemed that these people still avoided it.

At this time, the woman in the black cloak spoke: "Don't be afraid, girl, a few uncles are the villagers on the opposite Sun Island, and I am Zhu Si Zhu Li on the island." Recently, I noticed smoke on Death Island, so I came to check on the situation. ”

The smoke is constant, it is related to the sea, and she, as Zhu Si, has to come to check it out once.

"I think it's a misunderstanding caused by our daily fire." Wen Xian arched her hand at a few people and said, "Wen Yun is here to apologize to you and cause trouble to you. My name is Wen Yun, and this is my sister Wen Lian. ”

She was secretly annoyed, and said that the smoke would be discovered. No, it attracted all the people on the other island.

She raised her eyes at this moment, and only then did she see Zhu Li's face under the black cloak.

It turned out that Zhu Li was actually Zhu Si, and Zhu Si was the one who presided over the sea god sacrifice ceremony, responsible for singing divine songs and inviting gods.

A place or a region can only have one celebrator. For example, the opposite Sun Island is a whole, and there is only one Zhu Si.

Each Zhu Si is elected by the previous Zhu Si divination, and the elected Zhu Si descendants live in the Tanah Lot Temple with the old Zhu Si from birth.

In other words, the chosen heirs of Zhu Si have no freedom since they were born.

Enjoy the worship of the villagers and practice the method of sacrifice.

At the same time, Zhu Si is a symbol of holiness and cannot be married for life. There can be no love, including love and affection, only the love of all sentient beings.

Before the old Zhu Si died, he would hand over the mantle to the new Zhu Si. Zhu Si's status in the village is higher than that of the village chief, patriarch, and even higher than the emperor, and his status is second only to that of the sea god.

Hearing the popularization of the fisherman's uncle's knowledge, Wen Xian was secretly speechless. The mountain is high and the emperor is far away, and of course the emperor will not stretch out such a long hand.

No wonder Zhu Li's baby-like innocent eyes don't seem to be stained with any dust, and they seem to see through the mortal dust.

Xu is because he has been hiding from the world all the year round, and Zhu Li's looming skin is as white and tender as a baby.

Zhu Li turned sideways slightly, not receiving Wen Xian's salute. But he turned his head and asked curiously: "Just your sisters on the island?" Do you want to go back to Sun Island with us? ”

She doesn't need to return the gifts to the villagers on the island, but it seems inappropriate for people outside the island not to return the gifts.

She had never been out of the island and was curious about these two outsiders. But she is Zhu Si, and the master said that the heart needs to be like water, and you can't be led by trivial things.

Wen Xian pointed to the island opposite, where there was almost no shadow, and asked, "Sun Island is over there, three months ago, I saw fireworks floating. ”

It was the one she saw at the beach, and she never saw it again.

didn't get Wen Xian's answer, Zhu Li was not annoyed, only nodded and said, "Yes, three months ago, Sun Island held a sacrifice ceremony. ”

"Can you burn people for sacrifice?" Sheng Li'er said suddenly.

It is said that those who worship the god of the sea or the god of the river will tie the chosen people to the fire and burn them to death, and sacrifice their bodies.

"Presumptuous!"

"Nonsense!"

A few scolds sounded, and the seven people behind Zhu Li glared at Sheng Lian'er angrily.

A maid behind Zhu Li immediately reprimanded angrily: "Lord Seagod is sacred and cannot be defiled. ”

"Where did the little girl come from, that kind of conscience-losing thing, we don't know what Sun Island will do." Uncle Fisherman snorted coldly.

Sheng Li'er was dumbfounded, but she also knew that she had said the wrong thing, so she hurriedly stepped back and said, "I'm sorry, it's me who can't hold back." ”

Zhu Li raised his hand to stop the maid who was still talking about behind him, and said gently to Wen Xian and Sheng Li'er: "The sacrificial ceremony will light a bonfire, so there will be fireworks. ”

"My sister is open-mouthed, I apologize to you on her behalf." Wen Xian said apologetically, "A few of you have come to the island this time, but there is something important. If you need help, you can help. ”

Ashamed, when she heard the sacrificial ceremony, she thought of it with Sheng Li'er, thinking that she was going to sacrifice a living person.

She's damned, how can she maliciously speculate.

Wen Xian believed most of Zhu Li's words, but the vigilance in her heart still did not completely dissipate.

Zhu Li shook his head and said: "It's just to come and see if the fishermen are trapped on the island and need help, now that winter is coming, the sea is not suitable for navigation." Originally, the villagers no longer went to sea, but this time it was an accident. You have to come with us, Sun Island is much safer than Death Island. ”

Seeing Wen Xian wearing a pigskin coat, she knew that these two people had the ability to save their lives, and it was not surprising why they survived on the island.

The sound of the waves beating, Wen Xian looked in the direction of Sun Island and squinted, "No, my brother is on the way to pick me up." When I went to Sun Island, my brother was afraid that he would not be able to find his way. ”

Sun Island is a day's sail from here, and if all eleven people go there, it is really difficult to feel at ease.

Although Fang Cai Sheng Li'er's words aroused the anger of the public, when he heard that they were not leaving, the fisherman's uncle still kindly reminded: "The snow in the deep winter will freeze people to death, maybe your brother will not be able to come here until spring." ”
