The river was tumbling endlessly, and the villagers of several villages on both sides of the Tianlu River were concentrated in Jiangjia Village, all of them showing sadness and fear.

In front of him was a sacrificial offering table, on which were placed a rich enough of three animals and six animals, the village chief of Jiangjia Village read the sacrificial text aloud, while Huanniang and Jiang's father were tied aside with pale faces.

Father Jiang was already prepared in his heart, and even did not hesitate to let his daughter escape as soon as possible, leaving himself to sacrifice to the angry river god, but unfortunately his daughter was too stubborn and insisted on accompanying him.

He regretted very much why he didn't throw Li Chengfeng back into the water in the first place, so that so many people were involved, as well as his daughter's life, you know, his daughter is a person who is about to get married, but she is innocent of this disaster.

Huanniang was pale in addition to her face, but her eyes were extremely calm, she asked Li Chengfeng many times when she won or lost, she was already prepared in her heart, if Li Chengfeng lost, she and her father would inevitably be pushed into the river to worship the river god.

The whole scene was quiet and depressing, probably the residents on both sides of the strait have long been accustomed to this kind of sacrifice.

As the village chief read the prayer, there was a loud bang, as if the entire embankment was shaking, and a huge carp jumped up from the water, soared into the air, and the river rolled upside down, and then the carp fell into the river.

The villagers on the shore fell to their knees one after another, chanting the river god one by one, apparently very familiar with the process of sacrifice.

A small boat was thrown into the water, and Huanniang and Daddy Jiang, who were tied hand and foot, and six children, were placed in the boat.

The children were so frightened that they cried, and it was only then that they realized that the person being sacrificed was actually themselves.

Most of the people on the shore watched quietly, and the parents of those children gritted their teeth, but they were helpless.

Huanniang glanced back at the village, her eyes slid over the villagers, and finally landed in the direction of the river temple, and looked up at the sky again, where birds were constantly circling.

Many years ago, she had seen a village child or her peers being pushed into the river, and after so many years, it had finally reached herself.

She didn't know if she should hate Li Chengfeng, if it weren't for Li Chengfeng, this day might not have come so early.

"If there is an afterlife, I want to be a bird and be able to fly freely. ”

In front of Huanniang, a huge whirlpool appeared, stirring the boat and constantly heading towards the whirlpool, and Huanniang closed her eyes.

Immediately after, a huge fish head appeared in the whirlpool, eyes the size of a lantern, and nostrils spraying water, staring at the boat.

The demonic wind spread, and the people standing on the shore felt an overwhelming pressure coming, and their waists bent and they fell to the ground.

The carp spirit has a huge mouth, and a huge suction force drags the boat towards the giant mouth.

The sun in the sky was like fire, and a trace of mist surged in the river temple, and an old man with a cane faded out, watching the humans he sheltered sacrifice to the monsters in the river.

The cane in his hand was clenched, but the river god had no choice.

He had already been seriously injured, and he had no mana in his body, and if he left his own territory, he was afraid that he would not be wiped out in a moment.

This is also the weakness of the Heavenly Court Edict.

Once it is outside the scope of the edict, the edict binds itself as if it were a constraint.

At this moment, the people kneeling on the shore suddenly heard a piercing roar, and a streamer of light came from afar, angry and murderous.

Before the villagers could react, the streamer had already come to the carp spirit, and the carp spirit did not dare to slack off, and in a hurry, a wave of water erupted, and at the same time, the body flung away, and immediately escaped into the water and disappeared.

The streamer fell on the boat, looking at Huanniang, it was Li Chengfeng with a guilty face.

Everyone looked at Li Chengfeng one after another, their hearts were extremely complicated, of course they hoped that Li Chengfeng could kill the carp essence, but he had been fighting with the carp spirit for several days, and he couldn't kill it at all.

Li Chengfeng cast a demon spell, drove the boat back to the shore, and looked at the villagers.

"Give me one more night, and I'll kill this monster. ”

With that, he turned around and walked to the River Temple.

Everyone glanced at each other, and the village chief stepped forward, as if he wanted to say more, but he was speechless.

Eventually, he sighed and dispersed the gathered villagers.

The crowd sighed, in their hearts, Li Chengfeng couldn't kill the carp essence, but they didn't know when he would leave, and when he left, the banks of the Tianlu River would inevitably bear the more intense anger of the carp essence.

"Anyway, it's all going to be sacrificed, what's the difference between a little earlier and a little later, it's just one or two more lives. ”

Everyone left, after Daddy Jiang was let go, he wanted to pull Huanniang home together, but Huanniang broke away, she came to the River Temple and looked at Li Chengfeng quietly.

She could see the anger in Li Chengfeng's eyes, and she could also see the killing intent hidden under the guilt.

"One more day you stay, and we'll have one more life. ”

Huanniang spoke quietly, unable to express her feelings, Li Chengfeng let out a sigh, turned around and said lightly: "You don't have to worry, I have found a way to kill this fish demon, everything depends on tonight." ”

As soon as these words came out, Huanniang's eyes lit up, no one wants to die, there is no hope, once there is hope, anyone wants to live well.

The white mist rose in the river temple, and after Huanniang left, the river god slowly appeared, looking even weaker than before.

"Give me your edict of the river god. ”

Li Chengfeng looked at the river god, he had already left, but he still couldn't let go of the villagers who were affected by himself, and when he saw that it was Huanniang's father and daughter who were sacrificed to save him, he finally couldn't help it.

That's it, if you can't even keep your bottom line, how can you talk about being at ease.

If you can't do as much as possible when you encounter this kind of thing, then even if you have greater achievements in the future, what can you do? Everything is worthy of your own heart.

Although the opportunity to cross is rare, but now Li Chengfeng is still a human mind, if he really lets him watch these people being sacrificed alive because of himself, Li Chengfeng can't stand it.

He was indeed very repulsed by the position of the river god, but compared with the two, Li Chengfeng decided to accept the position of the river god.

Uphold your own heart, once you can't even conform to your own heart, how can you talk about practicing any immortal law, how can you talk about being at ease.

"The power of my faith has been lost, the villagers on both sides of the Tianlu River only know the monsters in the river but do not know the river god, I can't recover from the injury, it won't be long before I will be affected by this injury to death, and then this edict will also be obtained by the demons in the river, so that the creatures of the Tianlu River will be enslaved by it. ”

The river god slowly spoke, and with a wave of his hand, a golden light rushed towards Li Chengfeng.

Li Chengfeng did not dodge, and let the golden light rush into his body.

He has decided to become the god of the river and protect the water and soil!
