Chapter 76: The God of the River, the Sacrifice of Human Life.
On the way of the journey, Su Jin was a little busy, Bai Shuidu wiped his tears that day, and Yu Shen and the others originally wanted to stop it, thinking that Su Jin didn't understand how lethal Xiaobai was.
Su Jin didn't care with a face, such a thing as luck, Bai Shuidu might be able to affect ordinary people, but for a monk like Su Jin, unless Xiao Bai could reach the same level as him, he wouldn't even want to absorb any luck.
But I don't know if it's because Xiaobai can't absorb his luck, so this kid seems to be a little backlash, anyway, since Xiaobai apprenticed, he has been unlucky.
Yesterday, he was hit in the stomach by Qing'er chasing Yunju, and he almost didn't die, but fortunately, Su Jin found out in time, and this morning he was practicing by the river, and he fell into the river in a groggy state and almost drowned.
It was even more unlucky just now, when he poured tea for Su Jin, the boiling copper kettle smashed down his face, if it fell on him, his life might be worry-free, but his flesh and blood would definitely be a big sin, but fortunately, Su Jin was nearby, so there was no danger.
"You unlucky boy, didn't you tell you not to run around, why are you disobedient?" Su Jin said helplessly to Xiaobai, he rode with Xiaobai and hugged Xiaobai in front of him, so that Su Jin felt more stable, otherwise he didn't see any of them, and he didn't know what bad luck the little guy was going to be.
Xiaobai muttered aggrievedly, "I want to pour tea for the master, but I don't know why the copper kettle fell off the stove." ”
Su Jin rubbed Xiaobai's little head, the little guy is not as high as the stove, it is better to let him stay away from this dangerous thing in the future.
"I said it's really strange, in the past, Xiaobai arrested whom, but he was the only one, although he was poor in eating, drinking, and housing, but he was not sick or sick, how could he be unlucky one after another in the hands of Mr. Su?" Yu Jing asked his little sister Yu Zhiqi curiously.
Yu Zhiqi covered her mouth and chuckled, "Isn't that great? Xiaobai can worship Mr. Su as a teacher, and he will definitely be able to turn things around and live a normal life in the future." ”
"I hope so!" Yu Jing nodded slightly, for this little cousin, the two still like it very much, even if they didn't dare to get too close to Xiaobai because of Xiaobai's lethality before, they were much friendlier to Xiaobai than other disciples.
"Master, when can I not let others be unlucky, and I won't let myself be unlucky?" Xiaobai raised his head and looked at Su Jin expectantly.
Su Jin thought for a while, and then said, "It depends on whether you practice hard, if you work hard enough, it only takes two or three years to become a normal person." ”
"I must cultivate hard, master, don't worry!" Xiao Bai was full of enthusiasm when he heard that it would only take two or three years.
The reason why Su Jin dared to accept Xiaobai as a disciple was precisely because in his head, the message left by the father of the gods contained the cultivation method of the doom body.
It was created by the Father of the Gods after a long period of time, but he had not yet cultivated the Doom Body, and Su Jin hoped that Xiaobai could become the first Doom Body to be successful in cultivation.
The speed of the crowd was very fast, and it took four or five days to walk a third of the way, but this section of the road was relatively easy to walk, and I heard Yu Jing say that there was a section of the road below that was either high mountains or turbulent, and it was much harder.
Su Jin and Xiao Bai rode on the Qing'er Cloud Chasing Horse, and heard the roaring sound of water in the distance, Xiao Bai looked forward curiously, he had been living in Dingshan City and had not seen a river yet.
"Master, there is a big river ahead, much bigger than a stream. Xiaobai gestured with his hands in a big shape, very excited.
Su Jin smiled, patted his head and said, "Nonsense, can the river be smaller than the stream?"
"Hehe!" Xiao Bai nodded with a smile, not only did Xiao Bai not feel annoyed by Su Jin's action of slapping him, but also felt very comfortable, the master is not like others, he is not afraid of himself, he will not alienate himself, just like a big brother, let Xiao Bai feel very heavy and can be relied on.
At this time, Yu Jing turned his horse's head and came to Su Jin's side, and said helplessly, "Mr. Su, I'm afraid we have to settle down here." ”
"Oh, why?" asked Su Jin suspiciously, the team hadn't stopped along the way except for camping at night.
Yu Jing explained, "The river in front is called the Bishui River, I heard that there is a river god in it, today is the day of the nearby village name to worship the river god, only by sacrificing the river god, the Bishui River can be safely passed, so we can't go today." ”
"Sacrifice?" Su Jin suddenly became interested, when they were in the Cangwu tribe, they also carried out sacrifices, but the objects of their sacrifices were the ancestors of the tribe, begging them to bless the tribe with peace and security, and to be able to hunt the fattest prey.
"Let's go, let's take a look. Su Jin dismounted, and then hugged Xiaobai as well.
Yu Jing saw that Su Jin was going to see the sacrifice, so he naturally went with him, and met Yu Zhiqi on the way, of course, he had to bring it, while the others looked for a suitable place to camp on the spot.
Several people came to the Bishui River, this river does not know how many years it has existed, the water flow is very turbulent, the water quality is also very turbid, and the sound of roaring water between the flow is also full of momentum.
And on the bank of the river, dozens of local villagers are praying sincerely in front of the shrine, and their mouths are making inexplicable sounds, as if they are communicating with some kind of force.
As the villagers prayed, a wizard-like figure jumped onto a high platform, his face wearing a strange mask, his body dancing, and his mouth emitting strange syllables.
"Hulala!" the wizard roared, and there was something on the high platform besides him that was covered with a cloth, and in Su Jin's experience, that thing should be a sacrifice.
"It was the tribal sorcerer who was jumping and screaming just now, and the white cloth package should be the food and items that the river god likes, and they want to exchange the most precious thing in the tribe for the protection of the river god, which is very important for a tribe. Su Jin explained to Xiaobai that even if the sacrifice here is different from the Cangwu tribe, the difference in essence should not be big.
At this moment, the tribal wizard suddenly lifted the white cloth and wanted to throw the contents of the white cloth into the river.
"What?" Su Jin looked at the scene on the high platform, and couldn't help but widen her eyes, on the high platform, where was there any sacrifice under the white cloth, and there was just a little girl who was trembling.
"Human sacrifice?" Yu Jing and Yu Zhiqi were also extremely surprised.
Xiaobai looked at the little girl who was trembling, shook Su Jin's arm and said, "Master, what is that little sister sitting so high?"
"Niuniu, I beg you, you let my Niuniu go! I beg you, my man died early, and I only have Niuniu. Under the high platform, a middle-aged woman suddenly pounced, she cried and stretched out her hand to the high platform, calling out the little girl's name.
"Fan, don't be stubborn, your daughter is a sacrifice named by the river god, don't anger the river god, come over quickly. In the crowd of sacrifices, an old man hurriedly walked out, grabbed the middle-aged woman, and wanted to drag her back.
"Mother...... Ah Niang, Niu Niu...... Niu Niu is scared. The little girl on the high platform trembled, her voice was filled with fear, but her hands and feet were tightly bound by white silk, and she could not move, she could only cry in fear.
Su Jin frowned, it is not uncommon to sacrifice people with living people, and there are such traditions in many places.
The strange syllables in the wizard's mouth suddenly stopped, and he bowed reverently to the river, and then raised the little girl with both hands, the strange mask on her face radiating a silver glow.
"Lord River God, this is a sacrifice offered to you by the people of the three thousand miles around the Bishui River, please enjoy it!" the wizard shouted, and then threw the little girl into the turbid water of the Bishui River with a thrust of both hands.
"Niuniu......!" the middle-aged woman roared hoarsely, and suddenly she shook off the old man's hand, threw herself into the river like crazy, and jumped with all her might, holding the little girl in her arms.
And the river was boiling, and a huge black shadow jumped out and rushed towards the mother and daughter.
"Is there really a river god!?" Yu Jing looked at the black shadow that jumped out of the river in surprise and exclaimed, in the sunlight everyone could see clearly, the river god was a human body with a fishtail and a string of bone chains hanging around his neck, and if you looked closely, you could find that the bone chain was composed of white human teeth.
"Get out of here!" A loud shout came from the Bishui River, and the Bishui River God, who was originally facing the mother and daughter, suddenly flew out upside down, and in the sun, Su Jin was holding the mother and daughter and slowly landed on the riverbank.
"Ahh......h The man disturbed the river god. "It's over, and the river god will definitely give us the sin. "Throw that man into the river as a sacrifice, and ask the river god to forgive us." The sacrificial crowd was in a panic, and no one expected that at such a time, a person would suddenly be killed, and the river god would be kicked away.
"Master. Xiao Bai's eyes flashed with reverence, and he cheered in his mouth.
But other people's expressions are not so good, disturbing other people's sacrifices, this kind of thing can be big or small, and this time there is also the so-called river god of Bishui.
Su Jin gently put the mother and daughter down, the mother and daughter were in extreme panic at this time, and Su Jin crossed out a spiritual power into their bodies to help them calm down.
"It's okay, no one will take you to worship some river god. Su Jin comforted the mother and daughter.
At this time, on the high platform, the wizard jumped down high and landed in front of Su Jin, he pointed at Su Jin with a dagger, and said viciously, "Stupid person, you dare to make trouble in the sacrifice of the river god of Bishui, you will be punished by heaven, the river god will not let you go, and the people you are traveling with, you will use your blood and life to compensate for the loss of the river god." ”
Su Jin stood up, looked at the wizard coldly and said, "Use other people's orphans and widows to sacrifice, you can do it, why don't I throw you into the river and sacrifice to that river god, how about it?"
