Chapter 163: Flounder Asks for Sacrifice

After hearing these non-trivial complaints from the villagers, Xiyan basically cleared her mind a little.

It is probably because there has always been a tradition in this village to sacrifice boys and girls to the god of the lake, and after the villagers make sacrifices, they will be blessed by the god of the lake in the coming year, so as to ensure good weather and good weather.

Although this is indeed a matter of taking what each needs from each other, it is unbearable in the eyes of Xiyan, the daughter of the god of war.

After all, the lake god was originally responsible for spreading clouds and rain, when did it become an equivalent exchange?

Moreover, it is also a sacrifice to the living, which is simply against human ethics and the way of heaven.

After pondering for a moment, Xi Yan picked up the aura of returning to the ruins and shouted angrily at the crowd: "Everyone be quiet, and listen to me!"

The originally restless crowd was shocked by the qi of Xiyan's Guixu Tiangang, and they were so frightened that they closed their mouths one after another, and they didn't even dare to take a breath of the atmosphere.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him in horror, Xiyan simply turned pale and said in a cold voice: "Can any of you tell me what is going on with this lake god?"

"When did your sacrificial activities begin?"

The villagers were so frightened by her question that they took a few steps back, and looked at her one by one with fear on their faces, but they didn't dare to speak at all.

After a long silence, the woman who had been called Sister-in-law Pan had the courage to answer.

It turns out that this village has existed on the shore of Yuehu Lake for nearly a hundred years, and the people who raised the village have all fled from the Eastern Wilderness Division.

At the beginning, I made a living by fishing by Yue Lake, and it was smooth all year round, and this kind of life without fighting with the world was very comfortable.

But just five years ago, I don't know where two flounder spirits came from, they occupied the dragon pond on Jun Mountain, established themselves as the gods of the lake, and sometimes made waves to flood the houses and rice fields of the villagers.

Even when the villagers were fishing in the lake, there were often accidents in which the boat capsized and people died.

At first, the villagers didn't pay much attention to it.

But after a long time, I realized that things were a little strange.

A few brave people in the villagers wondered if it might be the flounder spirit on Jun Mountain who was secretly doing evil.

Finally, under the inspiration of the village chief, several young and strong villagers were sent to row boats to the top of Jun Mountain to negotiate with the flounder spirit.

As for the result of the negotiation, it is that every year at high tide in the summer, two boys and girls are sent to the Jun Mountain in the middle of the lake for the lake god to enjoy, and the next year the river can be harvested.

The so-called arms can't twist the thighs, how can they be a group of mortals who have the ability to compete with the lake gods made of two flounder essences, and in the end they can only choose to compromise.

Fortunately, although the two flounder essences are domineering, they are extremely trustworthy.

After the sacrifice of the boys and girls in the first year, there were many fewer incidents of fishermen capsizing, and the following year was indeed a good one, and the harvest in the village was quite good.

In this way, the village set a precedent for sacrificial sacrifices, and since then, each family has taken turns to sacrifice boys and girls every year.

This year, it was the turn of Sister-in-law Pan's house, and it happened that at this time, Xiyan ran into such a ridiculous thing because he was looking for Ling Yan and Bai Du and others to pass through Nachuan Village.

After listening to Pan's sister-in-law's story, Xi Yan already had a plan in her heart.

From her point of view, this so-called lake god is not a real god at all.

The true gods should be selfless for the well-being of the human race, how can they do such a thing that loses their conscience?

So in her heart, she also had a plan to help the villagers deal with these two flounder spirits.

After thinking about it, Xiyan glanced at the stunned villagers in front of her with her beautiful eyes, and said indifferently: "Before this so-called lake god came to Yuehu, was your annual harvest quite rich?"

"If so, then it means that the arrival of the lake god has not brought you any benefits, but on the contrary, it has brought you disasters, in this case, shouldn't you rise up and resist?"

Silence, deathly silence.

After Xiyan finished saying this, the villagers in front of him fell silent, and the scene was so quiet that even the sound of breathing could be heard clearly.

After a long while, the villager who had spoken to Xiyan before came out with courage and said uneasily, "Fairy, of course we know that these two flounder spirits are not the real lake gods. ”

"But they have supernatural powers, how can we mortals match them?"

"If we can really fight against them, how can we bear to give our children to them?"

"People are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless, those are two flesh and blood lives!"

Looking at the man in front of him who was quite excited, Xiyan was shocked for no reason, and his heart was even more firm in his belief in helping Nachuan Village to exorcise demons.

After thinking for a moment, Xi Yan eased his solemn complexion and asked softly, "If I can help you get rid of these two flounder spirits, can you help me?"

"You?"

After listening to Xi Yan's words, the villagers glanced at her Ana's figure in disbelief, and said in a distrustful tone: "Fairy, although I think you are indeed a little different, and you don't have a mundane aura on your body, you must not be an ordinary person." ”

"It's just that with your small body, isn't it a bit self-conscious to want to go head-to-head with those two flounder spirits who have achieved cultivation?"

"Really?"

Xi Yan was not angry and smiled: "The matter of destroying the demons is arranged by me, as for whether you can fight those two goblins, that is my business, you only need to act according to my plan, how about it?"

"This ......"

The villagers looked a little embarrassed, and then hesitated and said, "Fairy, you must know that it is not a joke to be the enemy of those two magical flounder spirits. ”

"If you can kill or drive away the flounder essence, it will naturally be a joy for the whole world. ”

"But if the fairy loses to those two goblins, won't it be a disaster along with the village?"

"Hmph. ”

Seeing that these villagers were so timid, Xiyan couldn't help but snort coldly, shook his head, and said, "Do you still have a choice at present?"

"If you don't choose to fight back, then you have to endure the pain of giving your own children to the spirits every year. ”

"If you can solve the flounder essence here, wouldn't it be done once and for all?"

After Xiyan finished speaking, the sister-in-law Pan, who was sitting on the ground, hurriedly stood up and appealed loudly: "The fairy is right, we can't eat forever by looking at the face of the goblin, this is not a long-term solution." ”

"Instead of being oppressed by this goblin for generations, why don't you fight with the fairy, maybe it can be done once and for all as the fairy said?"

The villagers, who were still a little hesitant before, became excited for a while after the persuasion of their sister-in-law.
