Chapter 292: Foolish People Are Cruel
"Ahh
I saw a huge white bone several zhang long, shining in the sun, which looked extremely dazzling, all showing its strength in life.
The hideous and empty eyes, the sharp silver serrations, and the meter-long sharp bone spurs all stimulated the weak hearts of the two.
To their shock, the skeleton turned out to be in the shape of a fish bone, and they were naturally familiar with the fish they worked with every day.
Even if they were born by the sea, they had never seen such a huge fish bone, and they opened their mouths wide for a while, looking at the fish bone in distraction.
Qingpi whined a few times in displeasure, and fluttered its ears, obviously disturbed by the two little disturbs its sleep.
Wang Mo didn't speak, just slightly mobilized the only remaining true yuan in his body, after a night of cultivation, the bones in his body had begun to heal, but the meridians could not be recovered for a while.
He had to go through the True Yuan to recover little by little, but fortunately, he carried a lot of healing pills and elixirs, coupled with the characteristics of the Five Elements Gangqi, with his current physical body, he could barely cope with it in the face of ordinary foundation building monks.
At noon, the sun is rising and the sun is gradually blazing, and the illuminated beach is golden and steaming in a hot wave.
Goudan and Cui'er also followed Wang Mo's example, sitting cross-legged on the rock, but it didn't take long for their backs to ache, but to their surprise, this feeling disappeared after a while.
The blazing sun shining on his body did not have the viciousness of the past, but had an indescribable warm feeling.
The originally hungry gurgling stomach didn't seem to be so hungry anymore, and there was an extra cool breath in the body for some reason.
The two looked at the blue-gold air currents that came out of Wang Mo's nose from time to time, and the two glanced at each other, both of them seeing the surprise in each other's eyes.
For Wang Mo's identity as a 'great immortal', he became more determined.
Even with them, the purpose of the two of them escaping here was also forgotten in this cool and warm feeling.
Wang Mo didn't pay attention to the two, he knew that since today was the day to worship the sea god, it might be very lively here.
He wanted to see who dared to do such a thing, and how these fishermen or fools would behave, and whether it was worth his rescue.
......
Not far from the coast, on the other side of the beach, there is a small village called Shihai Village, where a group of people are surrounding a low stone house that looks like an ancestral hall.
"Hurry up, the time to worship the god of the sea has come, hurry up and bring out the tribute!" a slightly clumsy old man, with cloudy eyes on his old face like orange peel, but his voice was unusually loud, urging everyone with a black wooden cane.
One of the swarthy young men stepped forward and opened the iron lock on the door, revealing the situation inside.
As the door panel was opened, a cold air gushed out from the small ancestral hall, even in the weather where the sun was shining directly overhead, everyone shivered.
The ragged and thin villagers around them, a trace of fear flashed on their originally wooden faces, and they all turned their heads away, not daring to take another look.
I saw that in the empty ancestral hall, there was only a simple offering table, on which were placed dense spirit tablets, simply engraved with the name and the day of sacrifice, and below were two futons.
"What about people?" Seeing that there was no one inside, the rickety old man slammed the cane in his hand, turned his head and shouted, the cold glint in his eyes was obviously not what an old man should have.
All the fishermen he saw turned around and dodged, as if they were terribly afraid of him.
"Li Gouyu, Liu Shishi, you are so bold! Do you want Shihai Village to be destroyed?" Seeing that everyone did not answer, the old man pointed to the two black and thin men among the fishermen with a cane in his hand.
The two people who were pointed at trembled, fell to their knees with a pop, and kowtowed violently: "Village chief, it's none of my business, I don't know!"
"Yes, village chief, how dare we do such a thing without permission!" said another.
The two of them banged and thumped, and blood flowed out of their heads in a short time, staining the stone floor red, but the old man did not speak, but the two did not dare to pause in the slightest.
Looking down at the two people who were kowtowing on the ground, the old man paused and said, "Tie these two people, and their mother-in-law and aunt together, burn them to death on the beach to appease the anger of Lord Seagod!"
The surrounding fishermen were silent, and they didn't dare to reply at all, and the black and thin young men couldn't bear it, and they hesitated slightly, but when the old man looked at him with cold eyes, he hurriedly took a few steps forward, took out the rope he carried with him, and tied the two of them up.
Then someone jumped into the two homes, tied up their mother-in-law and aunt, and dragged them all the way to the ancestral hall.
"The village chief spares his life!"
"Spare your life, village chief!"
The four of the two families were disgruntled, bloodstained, and kept wailing and begging for mercy, the old man frowned unhappily, and the person next to him understood, and hurriedly stuffed a few rags into his mouth.
The four of them could only let out a whimper, and looked helplessly at the fishermen around them, but they all looked at them blankly, as if they were unaware, and some simply turned their heads away from them.
"Hmph, whether you let it go or not, now that the child is gone, then continue to the next family, you hurry up and clean up, don't delay the hour, if you miss the sacrifice, Lord Poseidon will be guilty, and our Shihai Village will cease to exist!" The old man snorted coldly, pointed to the two people in the surrounding crowd and said: "Shidunzi, Shiguozi, you two should have children next year, you will be on top this year!"
The two black and thin men were reluctant, but when they saw the miserable appearance of the four people on the ground, they suddenly showed fear and nodded timidly.
Then the old man told the fishermen to start preparing and let the two of them bring the children.
Not long after, the two men surnamed Shi walked over with two young children, a man and a woman.
Behind him were two women in tattered clothes, their dark faces with faintly red and swollen cheeks, and the two of them sobbed as they walked.
The old man didn't even look at a few people, so he ordered the people around him to take the two young children away.
After some washing, he dressed the two children who were only about 10 years old in new clothes and tied a flower with red silk.
Looking at the two children who seemed to be malnourished, the old man muttered a few words with a little dissatisfaction, vaguely smelling too thin and no meat or something.
The two ignorant children, as if they didn't know what was going to happen, were the only eyes on their bodies that could see vitality, and they looked curiously at the new clothes on their bodies
Little do they know that this will be the only time in their short lives that they will wear new clothes.
Seeing that everything was ready, the old man looked up at the sky, and felt that the hour was near, so he ordered everyone to go to the beach.
The old man sat on a certain wooden seat, with his black wooden cane across his legs, and was carried by four young men.
Behind them were two young children, also being carried, followed by a group of fishermen, playing simple musical instruments in their hands or mouths, but which sounded like mournful music.
After an hour's march, the group of dozens of people finally came to the beach, and not far ahead was a raised reef.
To their horror, the place where they should have sacrificed to the god of the sea was sitting on it.
Fishermen know about this place, but no one has ever dared to come here without permission, because this reef is not only a place to worship the god of the sea, but also the last place where the children who have never returned have been seen over the years.
The sea god's words have been deeply rooted in their bone marrow, but whenever there is a little disrespect, they will feel sincere and afraid, let alone sit on it with such a swagger.
The old man saw the figure on the reef, and a flash of history flashed in his cloudy eyes, he was not one of these fishermen who didn't know anything.
With his eyesight, there was a faint blue-gold air flow floating around the figure above the reef, obviously a cultivator.
"But looking at the extent of the air flow gathering, he is just a cultivator in the early stage of qi refining, and he is not his opponent at all, so he just took it down and let the old man devour it, so that he can increase his cultivation. The old man thought silently in his heart, and ordered everyone to move forward without moving.
The movement of blowing and blowing all the way naturally woke up the four people on the reef.
Qingpi was aware of the other party's emergence as soon as he first appeared, but just glanced at it and continued to sleep on his stomach without care, with his sensitive sense, these people were just some non-threatening mortals.
Even the thin old man who was a little energetic, in Qingpi's eyes, didn't even have the qualifications to arouse its appetite.
It wasn't until a group of fishermen came close to the first 100 meters that the sound of blowing finally woke up the two little ones who were immersed in the warm ocean feeling.
When they saw the comer, their faces turned white, and they stared at the Chinese people from far and near tremblingly, and their bodies shrank back in front of Wang Mo.
But when the two saw the two couples of men and women tied up in the fishermen's ranks, they forgot their fears and crawled from Wang Mo's side to the bottom of the reef with their hands and feet.
The skin was worn through by the sand on the reef, and they instantly bleed, but they didn't care about the pain, and rushed towards the four fishermen who were bound.
And when the four of them saw the figures of the two Xiao Ben, they whimpered desperately, their cheeks were red despite the blocked mouth, and their eyes showed eagerness, and they shook their heads desperately.
"Dad, mother!"
The two shouted almost at the same time, but before they could run closer, the old man's eyes flashed with coldness, and he suddenly said, "Tie it up!"
The people around him didn't dare to slack off, so they hurriedly grabbed the two, and without much effort, they were tied up and tied to their parents.
The group walked unhurriedly towards the reef, stopped more than ten meters away from the reef, and looked at Wang Mo with a look of fear, to be precise, at the reef.
When the old man got up to leave, the four hurriedly lifted the chair back into the crowd, their faces were flushed with purple and red, and they were wheezing and wheezing.
The old man was holding a black wooden cane, and the Yin Owl's gaze paused slightly on Qingpi's body, then stared at Wang Mo's back, and said in a cold voice: "Who are you, dare to defile the place where my Shihai Village worships the sea god?"
