Chapter 6: The Unfortunate Man
The Patriarch's Mansion, Lin Yue, and the three elders sat around the council hall.
Lin Yue looked hesitant, and the three elders also looked dazed, and the four of them were worried about the living sacrifice that Lin Po said.
Now Lin Po is in retreat in the sacrificial hall, eating vegetarian food every day and bowing down to the god of the sea, but she asks that after a month, three young men between the ages of ten and fifteen must be prepared to perform the sea god sacrifice.
Lin Po is already a person who is more than 100 years old, and she is highly respected on Cape Island, even if Lin Yue, who is the patriarch, she has to obey her words.
As the shaman of Cape Island, Lin Po is already the wife of the sea god, and according to the clan rules, she will not marry for life. The divination she mastered was inherited from ancient times, and the process seemed very simple, but in fact it was mysterious and indescribable.
In the past, the Poseidon Festival was to put all kinds of magical beasts alive, as well as all kinds of fresh fruits that are abundant at the moment, into a Poseidon Lake called the Wailing Forest on the island, and then use good incense to worship for 7749 days.
In this way, the sea god will feel the hearts of the people of Cape Island, and bless the wind and rain inside and outside Cape Island, and the people will be prosperous.
And Lin Po's divination can sense the will of the sea god, in other words, what the sea god needs, he will tell Lin Po through divination.
Lin Po answered the wishes of the sea god through the signature, and the living sacrifice is to dedicate the life of a living person to the god, which shows the people's absolute belief and obedience to the sea god.
"Last year, Lin Po drew the sign of the god of wrath, she told me that the sea god needs to test our sincerity, and should replace the monster with a living person, I don't think so, because from childhood to adulthood, the current cognition, using the human body as a sacrifice can not pass the hurdle in my heart. Therefore, if you think that you can put more monster sacrifices on the gods, the gods will calm their anger. Lin Yue paused, "After that, things actually changed, there was heavy rain on the island for a month, and most of the fruits that were originally ordered by Zhongshan Town were blown away, and then bad luck followed, and large fishing boats were shipwrecked and capsized one after another, so that there was no income for a long time. ”
Lin Yue looked around at everyone, wanting to see what the elders had to say.
"The god of the sea is really angry, yesterday my old father gave me a dream, telling me that Cape Island is about to face a catastrophe, and before I finished speaking, I was frightened by the thunder outside. Great Elder Lin Yuan still had lingering palpitations, "Then you really want to hold a living sacrifice?"
Lin Yue nodded solemnly and looked at the third elder, "Third sister, what do you think." ”
The third elder, Lin Si, is the only woman among the three elders, although she is an elder, she is more than thirty years old, because she usually has the most ideas, and she is the brain trust of Lin Yue's subordinates.
Lin Si put his hands on his cheeks, pursed his lips, and replied to Lin Yue's words: "Lin Po's words are not reasonable, for the sake of the future of Cape Island, the human sacrifice should be carried out. ”
"Alas. Lin Yuan sighed, "But, where can I find three young men between the ages of ten and fifteen." ”
"It's better to take a few captives in the outer sect, their lives are not worth a few dollars. Second Elder Lin Qing stroked the two beards that were curled upwards with a playful expression.
Outside the window, a purple thunder shook the sky, and a strange purple light flashed on the faces of the four people, and a light smile appeared on their gloomy faces.
"As it happens, I have news to announce. Lin Qing felt that the eyes of several people were the same, and he was secretly relieved that this was right, and yelled at the door, "Lin Shi, don't come in yet." ”
"Giggles", after knocking on the door a few times, Lin Shi came in with a cower, seeing that the patriarch and the three elders were staring at him, his heart immediately hung in the air, and then he respectfully hugged his fists and said, "Lin Shi has seen the patriarch and the three elders. ”
"Lin Shi, this kid witnessed a big event in the place of the outer sect, and told me before the meeting, now is the right opportunity, you can listen to what he has to say. Lin Qing explained.
"Big deal?" Lin Yuehu glanced at Lin Qing in confusion, Lin Qing shrugged his shoulders and said calmly, "Lin Shi, don't be nervous, tell the truth about what you hear and see." ”
"Good. Lin Shi touched his head, "Today should have been Brother Hebao, and Lin Chuan went to teach the boy of the outer sect called Xiang Tian a lesson... ”
So, Lin Shi 1510 came out of the matter, and after saying that, Lin Qing waved his hand to signal Lin Shi to go out, and said that it was none of your business.
At the moment, no one can hold their mouths.
"Li Neng of the Outer Sect looks like he is going to rebel. Lin Yuan, who has always spoken little, slapped his palm on the table.
"Li Neng, that guy is a little capable, I see that he is tired of being alive on the island, and he just wants to move his muscles and bones for a while. Lins said.
After Lin Yue listened, he analyzed, "Although the children of the outer sect have been much more disciplined in the past few years under the guidance of Li Neng, only one of Liang Daniu's talents has reached the second level, so it seems that it is unlikely that he will rebel." ”
Lin Yuan nodded silently in agreement.
"Originally, the outer sect was meant to serve the inner sect, they were born inferior, and if they wanted to say that they were learning to fight their spirits, it was simply telling a joke. ”
Lin Qing continued: "At the moment, the matter that Lin Po ordered us is urgent, as long as we add fuel and vinegar to this matter, and find a suitable reason by the way, I think it will not be difficult to get a few young men from their foreign sect." If there is any argument, spread the word that they accidentally drowned while going out to play, so that there will not be much of a ripple. ”
"This entry point is okay, but there is no rule on the island that the children of foreign sects cannot learn vindictiveness, which is unreasonable. Lin Yuan analyzed that learning vindictiveness is everyone's freedom, just like strengthening the body.
The conversation reached an impasse. At this moment, a wheezing sound outside the door gradually approached, and two thin and fat figures walked in.
"Who made you like this? Lin Qing was stunned when he saw Lin Chuan, who was in rags, and Lin Dabao, who had a big bag on his head and had not yet wiped off the bloodstains.
Lin Qing is a water-attribute fighter, who has mastered the fighting skills, and when he saw the cold dark red bruises on his son Lin Chuan's abdomen, he hurriedly ran over, told him to lie down, and began to use fighting skills to heal.
"It's a day. Lin Dabao broke out, and everyone was wondering, just by him? Then Lin Dabao gasped, and then said, "It's Xiang Tian's brother Xiang Xing!!"
"It's him??? it's even more impossible. Lins was very interested in this, because Xiang Xing's style was very low-key, his life style was also simple and simple, and the most important thing was that he was born with the loss of his right hand.
Then, Lin Dabao said what happened after Lin Shi left, word for word, because of his dissatisfaction with Xiang Tian and Xiang Xing, how bad it was. Among them, Xiang Xing was made into a person who hid a knife in a smile, and Xiang Tian became a villain who was lazy and insulted the inner sect.
"You mean, Xiang Xing only used a wooden sword to subdue the two of you?" Lin Yue glanced at the two of them with an inquiring eye, and Lin Dabao said, "Grandpa, that guy Xiang Xing is deeply hidden, his fighting skills can release sword waves, coupled with his agility, quick reaction, he is not an ordinary person. ”
"It seems that among your peers, this sentence has surpassed you in terms of talent and strength, and it is a rare good seedling. ”
Lin Yue stroked his drooping beard and couldn't help but sigh.
"Grandpa, you must get justice for us. Lin Dabao knelt down and kowtowed, Lin Yue took pity on his grandson, and quickly called the two of them up.
"Xiang Tian, Xiang Xing is the son of your deceased, and Xiang Tian's kid has touched the prestige of the Inner Sect many times over the years, but you cover it everywhere, now are you willing to do it?"
"I used to be able to turn a blind eye to the little fights, but now I've pulled my grandsons into it, even if they are unlucky. Besides, the old man can't say it, it's just a little friendship, he has left Cape Island for many years and has not returned, and he may have encountered an accident in the morning. Lin Yue said disdainfully.
"Patriarch, there is one more person who is unlucky. Lin Qing reported.
"Who??"
"That person is Lin Shi's mouth, Liang Daniu who stood out in today's test. This person's talent is even better than that of a few of our old guys, and once he gets up in the future, it will be a big hidden danger for the inner sect. ”
These words were actually Lin Chuan's reminder to Lin Qing that since Lin Chuan was defeated by Xiang Xing, he had already burned his dissatisfaction with the foreign sect along the way, and now that he had the opportunity, of course he would not let it go.
"What do you mean... ”
"Hmph, explain Liang Daniu too, it's enough for three people, and then things will be straightened out. Lin Qing said.
"Hmm... There was silence for a while, "Just do as you say." Lin Yue had to be cold to Lin Qing, but this was also a way out of the way.
In the outer area of Cape Island, inside a low treehouse, the lights are much brighter than before.
Liang Daniu's family of five is celebrating the talent he tested today, and his father strokes his head and praises him, my son is really promising. And his mother kept putting vegetables in his bowl.
