Volume 1 Mortal Chapter 22 Sacrifice to the River God

The sky was slightly bright, Ling Yuchen opened his eyes, and saw that the others were still resting, so he quietly walked to the field next to the bamboo house, breathed in the fresh air, stretched his waist, and instantly became energetic.

Looking at the vibrant flowers and plants in the field, I couldn't help but want to touch them, but before my hand could touch them, I was interrupted by Ru Yao.

"This flower is poisonous. Ru Yao came to Ling Yuchen's side and said.

Seeing that Ling Yuchen stopped moving, he continued: "The name of this flower is Sudden Laughter, and it is said that Sudden Laughter is the gentleness of the demons, and it is the flower in Heaven that voluntarily threw itself into Hell, but was sent back by the demons but could not return to Heaven, and was still wandering on the Huangquan Road. Because the demons couldn't bear it, they agreed to let the sudden smile on this ordinary road, and give guidance and comfort to the souls who have left the human world. Therefore, sudden laughter is also given by people as the love of death, and love is very painful. Ru Yao said flowers, and she seemed to be talking about herself.

At the same time as he finished speaking, the other people also woke up and came to Ru Yao's side, Ru Yao's eyes collided with the expectant eyes of these young people, and he didn't say anything, just leaned over and picked a plant and smiled.

Ling Yuchen wanted to stop it, but when he saw Ru Yao smiling and shaking his head, he didn't continue. The five of them silently followed Ru Yao to the bamboo house, while Ru Yao habitually sat on the doorrail and didn't speak for a while.

"I'm tired, it's time to leave, I apologize to you martial artists. After Ru Yao finished speaking, two lines of tears flowed down her cheeks, and her appearance was really distressing.

The breeze was blowing, the fragrance of flowers was overflowing, and at this moment, Ru Yao was just like when she was young, smiling, innocent and romantic, and slowly closed her eyes, as if she recalled those beautiful days when she was with Wu Jin.

Then, like a fairy, Ru Yao radiated light all around, and slowly disappeared in front of everyone, disappearing, leaving only a sudden smile left by the door.

She left, and the curse of the martial arts family was lifted. Bai Xianye also showed a rare sense of admiration.

Zi Mengting and the little sister of the martial arts family stared at Ru Yao and left like this, and they couldn't cry for a long time.

Ask the world, what is love, and teach people to live and die.

Ling Yuchen and the others all prayed sincerely for Ru Yao. After that, he left the bamboo house and returned to the samurai family.

After returning to the martial family, he told the eldest brother and sister-in-law of the martial arts family everything. The brothers and sisters of the martial family are very grateful to Ling Yuchen and them for this, and plan to make a tablet for Ru Yao to worship and pray from time to time.

"Brother Wu, since the curse has been lifted, you can rest assured, Xiaobai, and Mengting will continue to hurry, so we won't bother. "Ling Yuchen and the others have been staying here for a few days, so they still have to hurry up.

"Ling Shaoxia's spirit is extraordinary, is there anything important to do on this trip, I don't know what help I might be able to help in the future. Wu Gang was embarrassed to stay longer, he just hoped to help them.

"Brother Wu, I am only going to the cultivation realm this time and follow my master to cultivate, in order to seek enlightenment. Ling Yuchen said the purpose of this trip.

"That's it, then I can't help anything, then please accept this ring from Shaoxia, I think it should be beneficial to Shaoxia in the future. Wu Gang took out the Qingguang Ring and sincerely hoped that Ling Yuchen would accept it to show his gratitude to them.

Ling Yuchen no longer shirked and accepted the Qingguang Ring.

The next day, when the day was just dawning, Ling Yuchen and the three of them said goodbye to the martial brothers and sisters and hurried early.

Ling Yuchen and the others hurried non-stop, and came to a fishing village before dark, this village is called Pujia Village, and the people in the village have been fishing for a living for generations.

"This big brother, do you know where in our village there is a place to stay?" Ling Yuchen stopped a villager and wanted to inquire about where to stay.

The villagers looked Ling Yuchen and the three of them up and down, especially when they saw Zi Mengting, they stopped for a moment, and then said: "The place to stay is in the city twenty miles away, and you have to take a ferry, but there has been no boat in the village in the past two days, and you can't get through." ”

Ling Yuchen and the three of them didn't know how to plan for a while, but for now, they had to find a place to live first.

Seeing that the three of them had nowhere to go for the time being, the villagers said, "If you don't dislike it, you can go to my house first, and we can earn some foreign expenses." ”

Ling Yuchen and the three of them thought that they could only do so, thanked the villager brother, and accompanied the villager brother back to his house together.

After dinner, Ling Yuchen and the three of them chatted in the house.

"Brother Ling, Brother Li said that there was no ferry in the past two days, how can we travel?" Zi Mengting asked worriedly.

"There's no ferry, so we'll ferry it ourselves. Bai Xianye said indifferently.

Ling Yuchen felt that what Xiaobai said this time was not unreasonable. He also nodded and said, "If there is really no ferry tomorrow, we will have to come by ourselves." It's just strange that the villagers in this fishing village all make a living from fishing, and don't they go out on the boat for a few days, don't you think it's a little weird?"

As soon as Ling Yuchen finished speaking, he heard the woman's crying. So he frowned and said, "Do you hear the cry?" ”

Zi Mengting and Bai Xianye nodded in response. The three of them went out to look for the crying, and the cry came from the room of the villager Brother Li's family. ”

Bai Xianye motioned for Zi Mengting to knock on the door.

"Brother Li, we heard Sister-in-law Li crying, come over to see if something is wrong, and I don't know if we can help. Zi Mengting said with some embarrassment when she saw Brother Li who came to open the door.

I only heard Brother Li sigh silently, and then turned sideways to invite Ling Yuchen and the three of them into the house.

Seeing the sister-in-law of the Li family sitting on the edge of the bed with her daughter in her arms, she couldn't cry anymore.

Seeing such a scene, Zi Mengting opened her mouth and asked, "Brother Li, I don't know why Sister-in-law Li is crying so sadly. ”

"You guys don't know that tomorrow is the annual day of worship to the river god in our village. The eldest brother of the Li family said while wiping his tears.

"Shouldn't it be a happy day to worship the river god, why are you crying so sadly?" Ling Yuchen asked suspiciously.

"This little brother doesn't know that we are going to choose two young women to sacrifice to the river god as sacrifices. The eldest brother of the Li family looked at his daughter with pity as he spoke, and wiped his tears sadly.

"A few years ago, the goddess only chose those fifteen or sixteen-year-old girls to be married to worship the river god, but in the past two years, there have been fewer and fewer girls in the village, and only younger girls can be chosen. Sister-in-law Li saw the sadness of her father-in-law's crying, so she continued.

When Bai Xianye heard such a custom, he couldn't help but sneer and said: "This is a river god, it is clearly a demon, or an evil demon." ”

When the eldest brother of the Li family heard Bai Xianye say such a disrespectful word, he hurriedly stopped it, for fear of offending the river god and causing a big disaster.

"Six years ago, the villagers in our village went out on a boat, encountered a big storm, many people died in the sea, and then the goddess came to our village, saying that we only know how to fish every year, offended the river god, the river god was angry, and there was this disaster, if you want to continue fishing, you must dedicate a young woman to the river god as an offering every year, so as to keep the villagers of our fishing village safe. The eldest brother of the Li family continued slowly.

Zi Mengting deeply hated such a custom, and her beautiful eyes looked at Ling Yuchen expectantly.

"Brother Li, sister-in-law Li, don't be too sad, maybe there will be some turn for the better tomorrow. Ling Yuchen comforted the sad family.

After speaking, the three of them glanced at each other, and seemed to have reached a consensus, they were all waiting to meet this so-called god tomorrow to see what tricks this so-called river god was playing.
