Chapter 801 Boys and Girls [Ask for a monthly pass! 】
Lingguan Town, Dongshan Village.
"Father, mother, you are back." A thin girl ran out from the door and greeted Xiao Ershan and his wife with a smile.
"Lingling, didn't I tell you not to go out?" Xiao Ershan hurriedly hugged the little girl, as if afraid that she would be seen by others.
"Didn't it mean that after the sacrifice, I can go out and play normally?" The little girl named Lingling asked with some doubts.
"The sacrifice is not over yet..." Xiao Ershan closed the door and returned to the house, only then sighed worriedly, "Someone stopped the ceremony."
"Why?" Lingling looked at her father innocently.
Xiao Ershan was silent for a while, then hugged his daughter heavily again, and said: "No matter what, Daddy will not let anyone take my good girl away! No one will do it!"
After thinking for a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "My mother, if we can't, let's run away?"
"Where are you fleeing to?" His wife also looked sad, "If we go elsewhere, will we still have work?"
"It's better than staying here and letting Lingling be sent to sacrifice?" Xiao Ershan said resolutely.
After a while, the family of three had already packed up their big and small baggage, and opened the back door of the yard in the dark.
But as soon as Xiao Ershan poked his head out, he was held down by a powerful big hand. From between his fingers, he saw the guardian courtyard of the town's patriarch's house in front of him.
"The patriarch told us to take good care of the yard in this group of Ershan brothers, and don't make any mistakes in tomorrow's sacrifice." The strong man holding Xiao Ershan said in a muffled voice.
Everyone knew in their hearts that they said they were helping to take care of him, but they were actually afraid that he would escape.
Xiao Ershan retreated resentfully, and the family of three sat in the room, frowning relative to each other, helpless.
"Daddy, why didn't you let me participate in the sacrifice?" Lingling asked curiously, "Didn't you say that after rushing down from the mountain, you will become smarter? Nothing will happen."
"What do you know?" Xiao Ershan seemed to want to say something, but he stopped talking.
After a brief silence, a third person's voice suddenly sounded in the room: "Then what do you know, what are you talking about?"
"Ah!" The family of three startled.
I saw the figures of three young people appearing out of nowhere, they came through the wall from nowhere, they were the three who stopped the sacrifice before.
"You... where do you come from?" Xiao Ershan stood in front of his wife and daughter, let them hide in a corner, raised his hand and said, "We also have practitioners in Lingguan Town, so don't mess around."
"Xiao Ershan." Chu Liang asked sharply, "Do you know him?"
With a cry, Chu Liang released the scholar's resentful soul. Seeing the murderer, the scholar's resentful soul immediately burst into the form that a resentful soul should have. It was full of resentment, full of ferociousness, and wanted to rush over and bite the enemy !
"ah-"
Xiao Ershan's family was so frightened that they all lay down on the ground, and the couple begged for mercy: "Master Immortal, please forgive me! The two of us are just trying to save my daughter's life, and I really don't want to hurt anyone. But, but this is really There is no way!"
"Saving my daughter's life?" Chu Liang put away the scholar's resentful soul, glanced at the little girl, and asked, "Didn't it mean that the priests in Lingguan Town don't die at all, but just drift downstream?"
…
Under Chu Liang's persuasive temptation, Xiao Ershan cooperated and told about the sacrifices in Lingguan Town that he knew.
Yao Dengxian is in charge of Siyun Avenue in the capital city of Yu. Maybe he still doesn't take care of some remote places in Kyushu, but the land of Zhongzhou has always been in good weather. Among them, Lingguan Town can be regarded as a blessed land even if it is located in Zhongzhou.
The climate here is always suitable, the crops are always luxuriant, and the people are always disease-free and disaster-free. It is known far and wide as a place of longevity. And the reason for all this, they attributed it to this spirit official sacrifice.
It is said that in ancient times, two spiritual officials descended from the fairy world to fight against demons, but they were seriously injured and could not return to the upper world. Taken in by the residents here, the people drifted down the river to deliver food to the spirit officials, until the two spirit officials recovered from their injuries and returned to the upper realm, they gave this land a blessing.
Since then, the weather here has been good every year, and everyone has a long life, so it has been renamed Lingguan Town.
In order to commemorate the kindness of the two Lingguans, the people of Lingguan Town will hold an annual sacrificial activity. Drift the two spirit boys down the current to enjoy the blessing of the spirit official.
"It's all fake." After Xiao Ershan finished, he added: "I have already found out that although the soul boy will not die in the sacrifice every year, he will always die due to various reasons within three months after the sacrifice. , without exception! What is not a living sacrifice, it is just a fake news released by the patriarch, in order to deceive us and the people in the court!"
"Is that so?" Chu Liang's pupils tightened.
If the child didn’t die on the spot, the people in the court probably didn’t care, but within three months both soul boys would die, so what’s the difference between that and a living sacrifice?
"Did no one in Lingguan Town find out about this?" Lin Bei asked, "Why don't we just stop offering sacrifices?"
"It is said that there were several years when the sacrifices were stopped in the past, but Lingguan Town will immediately suffer from drought and floods, diseases, and a large number of deaths in the town. Only by re-sacrificing can we gain peace again." Xiao Ershan replied: "From now on, everyone will accept their fate, even if they pay the price of two children every year, in exchange for the health and longevity of the whole town."
It turns out that this child is considered a price that can be given up.
If the past was a deception, then the subsequent sacrifices can be regarded as a transaction.
"It's fine if it's another family, but this year it's my turn. My husband and I have only had one daughter, Lingling, for most of our lives. How can we let it go?" Xiao Ershan continued, "Just when we wanted to flee with our family, someone from the city of Yu came. The whole family came to stay overnight, so I feel so bad..."
"You don't want to abandon your own daughter, but kill other people's family members at will." Chu Liang shook his head, "No matter what happens this time, you can't escape the guilt."
"Ah—" Xiao Ershan's wife knelt down on the ground and wailed, "As long as we can save our daughter this time, even if my husband and wife are cut to pieces, I will admit it!"
"You can rest assured." Chu Liang looked out the window, "Now that we know about this, we will never let any innocent child die again."
"What are you going to do?" Ye Yongxing asked.
"Since those two 'spiritual officials' have allowed people to continue offering sacrifices for so many years, they must have some skills. If you don't personally participate in this sacrifice, it should be difficult to catch them." Chu Liang Youyou said: "We want to let the sacrifice continue. .”
"Continue?" Lin Bei wondered: "Isn't that child still in danger? What if we can't find those two 'spiritual officials'?"
"Of course the children will not be allowed to participate." Chu Liang said in a deep voice, "In fact, strictly speaking, I can also be regarded as a virgin."
"..." Lin Bei looked at Chu Liang hesitantly, and after a while, said: "If you can be a virgin, I feel that I can also be a virgin."
"Isn't this too forced?" Ye Yongxing looked at the two in disbelief.
If you use the technique of change, the fluctuation of true energy will easily reveal your identity. But if it doesn't change, just go up like this... People are not blind.
"That's all." Chu Liang smiled and shook his head, "Aren't they just amazing boys and girls, I can borrow two."
good evening.
