Chapter 800 The real murderer【Ask for a monthly pass! 】
"Yang Shenlong?"
The restless onlookers around were shocked when they heard this name.
Although there are quite a few practitioners in the four seas and nine states, it is not uncommon for ordinary people to see a few. But the top disciples of the Nine Heavens Immortal Sect like Yang Shenlong and Chu Liang are really rare to see.
Of course, even if this name is fake, the powerful strength that Lin Bei showed was enough to shock them. There may not be no practitioners in the crowd, but they are all ruling the roost in the surrounding villages and towns. How capable can they be? Seeing his cultivation as soon as he made a move, he didn't dare to step forward at that time.
There are not many opportunities for Lin Bei to be able to show off his prestige like this. He immediately raised his chest and shouted loudly: "How dare you engage in such an evil ritual on the land of Kyushu and murder innocent boys and girls? You are unlucky to meet me today! Not too bad! Hurry up and grab it, wait for me..."
Before he finished his lines, Chu Liang couldn't wait any longer, and stepped forward to lift the curtain.
This is not for him to see, but for the resentful soul of the scholar in his arms to see clearly. Is this his daughter?
Although the scholar's resentful soul did not dare to show up, his soul power is not weak now, and he can feel the surrounding scene. The moment he saw the girl, he immediately responded to Chu Liang: "This is our daughter! Xia, we must save her!"
"Don't worry." Chu Liang replied.
When he looked at the people around him again, his eyes became much more gloomy.
The black-clothed old man had already stepped forward, cupped his hands and said, "Several young heroes and immortal masters, this is a sacrificial ceremony that has been practiced in Lingguan Town for thousands of years. There is no disease and no disaster. You see, the people of our town are guarding both sides of the river, and someone will rescue them when they reach the lower reaches."
Chu Liang looked around, and the people around him nodded their heads, indicating that what the old man said was true.
The old man said again: "Our Lingguan Town is located in Zhongzhou. If there are living sacrifices, the adults of the Jianguo Mansion will not tolerate us long ago. How can we let us do this every year?"
What he said was reasonable. Such a grandiose living sacrifice is still in the land of Zhongzhou not far from the capital of Yu. It is estimated that people from the Jianguo Mansion will be found tomorrow after finishing the work tonight. It is impossible for it to exist for so many years.
After he said this, the three fell silent.
Lin Bei's momentum suddenly weakened.
The surrounding people gathered around when they saw this, and voices began to sound from the crowd, "I'm disturbing the sacrifice, what should the two spirit officials do if they get angry?"
"If there is a punishment in the coming year, who will be responsible?"
"Can't let them go!"
"..."
Watching everyone gradually become angry, Lin Bei waved his hands awkwardly and said: "The grievance has its head, and the debt has its owner. I, Penglai Yang Shenlong, will bear this matter alone. If you want revenge, you can come to me."
Chu Liang looked at the crowd rushing forward, and asked the old man in black: "Old man, may I ask who you are?"
"I am the patriarch of the Xiao family in Lingguan Town, named Xiao Youde. The six villages here are dominated by our Xiao family members, so the sacrifices over the years have been presided over by our Xiao family head." The old man in black replied.
His tone was not intense, but he did not control the behavior of the people around him. More and more people approached, and it seemed that he wanted to put pressure on Chu Liang and the others.
But Chu Liang immediately asked back: "Patriarch Xiao, in fact, we came here today because a pair of parents lost their children, so we came here to help them find them. We just found out that their lost children are in your sacrificial ceremony here. If there is any misunderstanding, look to Haihan. It's just that you have to explain clearly the origin of this child."
He didn't discuss the sacrificial ceremony with the Xiao family, because he knew that even if the sacrificial ceremony was abnormal, they wouldn't be able to find out in a moment. It is better to transfer the breakthrough and seize the opportunity first.
"It's impossible." The head of the Xiao family shook his head decisively: "We have always been able to participate in our sacrifices only if they are descendants of the Xiao family. The six villages in Lingguan Town send soul boys in turn. It is impossible for outsiders to participate."
"Oh?" Chu Liang asked: "Then may I ask whose family this girl is from, can you call out and confront her?"
"Should it be a child from Dongshan Village this year?" Xiao Youde turned his head, looked at a middle-aged man behind him, probably the village chief, and asked, "Where are the parents of the soul boy?"
"Ershan! Calling you!" The middle-aged man turned his head and greeted twice, and a couple squeezed out shyly from the crowd.
The man is thin and dark-skinned; the woman is similar, also thin and small, and looks like a simple farmer.
"Is this child from your family?" Xiao Youde was not so polite in front of his clansmen, and asked directly in a deep voice.
"Yes... yes... ah, no..." The man named Ershan stammered, talked for a long while, nodded and then shook his head, and finally said under Xiao Youde's gaze: "I...my girl is sick, It just so happened that I picked up this little girl... let her take the place."
He intended to lie, but although Xiao Youde didn't know his daughter, the same family members in the surrounding village did, so there was really no way to do it.
"Bold!" Xiao Youde was furious immediately, "Ancestors rule that only descendants of your own family can participate in the sacrifice, yet you just randomly find an outsider to participate!"
"Patriarch! I was wrong, I was wrong!" Xiao Ershan seemed to be quite frightened, and began to kowtow repeatedly.
"Since it's a misunderstanding, there's no need to make a big fuss." Seeing this, Chu Liang smiled slightly and said, "Then I'll send this girl back to her parents. As for the sacrifice..."
"The time has passed, and the blood is impure. If I sacrifice it, I'm afraid the spirit official will be angry. Let's stop here for today, and finish it tomorrow." Xiao Youde clasped his fists and said: "I also want to thank the young heroes for stopping, otherwise The consequences are unimaginable!"
"It's okay, but it just coincides with the meeting." Chu Liang waved his hand, and the three turned and left.
The parents of the boy who participated in the sacrifice over there also took the child back, and the family embraced and left. The people of Lingguan Town who were present dispersed one after another. It seems that a sacrifice ended hastily, and everyone is a little unhappy.
As for Xiao Ershan and his wife, they were pushed aside by everyone, scolded and left all the way. But they didn't seem to care, they just looked back many times, looking at the direction Chu Liang and the others left, as if they were very frightened.
Chu Liang seemed to leave without looking back, but in fact, he had spread his spiritual sense and already had a panoramic view of all this.
The three of them stopped to discuss this matter when they came to a quiet hillside not far away. At this time, the little girl in his arms had already fallen asleep, probably given some kind of ecstasy drug.
It looks white and clean, quite cute.
Lin Beidao: "I thought this sacrifice was for people to face the mandrill. If it is not a living sacrifice, then where should we go to find someone to face the mandrill?"
"That's not in a hurry." Chu Liang smiled and said, "Regardless of whether there is a problem with the sacrifice, there must be a problem in Lingguan Town."
Just now, the resentful soul in the vase in his arms was so excited that it almost rushed out.
It was only at this moment that Chu Liang released the resentful soul. As soon as the scholar's resentful soul came out, he immediately fell to his knees.
"My husband and wife, with our young daughter, passed by here and stayed overnight at Xiao Ershan's house. I didn't want him to poison the meal and kill him overnight. Young heroes, if there is justice in the world, I beg you to avenge my husband and wife!"
