C74 Sacrifice to river god

Yuan Beidou flung Yan Jiujie far away, he had already used up all of his Divine Traversal Talisman, and had consumed a lot of True Essence to block Yuan Beidou's Sword Demon, so he could not chase after the fact that he needed to replenish himself.

The Dragon-bird was tired, so it put Yuan Beidou down, picked two pills from his hands and swallowed them: "I saw you filled with confidence, and thought you could kill this Yan Jiujie!"

Yuan Beidou said: "I initially thought that I could do it, but I was wrong about the difference in cultivation level. However, I have some confidence that I can kill him the next time we meet! "

The Dragon-bird said: "That's good, after being chased by him for so long, I am starting to get tired of it! Hurry back to the Celestial Sect s, and then, have a good rest. "

Yuan Beidou sighed, "We have already flown for so long on the Giant Winged White Crane from the Celestial Sect to the Earth Fire City. It is easier said than done to walk back right now! "I'm afraid it will take a while."

The Dragon-bird then said: "If it really isn't possible, then just follow me to the Nanling. It's just that I don't know if my father has settled all these matters. However, the human race's position in the Nanling is lower, they are many of the demon race's slaves and food. "

Nanling's Demon Mountain was a territory of the demon race, so it was not strange for humans to have a low status there.

Yuan Beidou laughed and said: "Your father has been surrounded and killed by so many Spirit Demon Kings, it's hard to protect himself now. Going to Nanling, isn't that just seeking death? "

The Dragon-bird also knew that it was very dangerous to return to the Nanling right now, so they followed Yuan Beidou. At least, it was safer in the Celestial Sect.

Yuan Beidou did not mind the pain in his shoulder. After applying the medicine, he would quickly recover, and although the wound was deep, it was not a big deal for cultivators.

"Now that I have left Yan Jiujie far behind, I can find a place to properly comprehend the profoundness of Chujiang and familiarize myself with my abilities. The next time I meet him, I'll be confident enough to take his life." Yuan Beidou thought.

"Strange, it was just a sunny day just now, why is it raining cats and dogs here?"

Yuan Beidou followed a river and arrived outside a village. It was raining heavily here and the sky was dark.

"There shouldn't be anything strange in the village this time right?" Yuan Beidou asked.

"There is!" The Dragon-bird said, "Look, it is clear here, but there is heavy rain in the village. Is this not strange enough?"

Hearing her words, Yuan Beidou really wanted to leave. After all, the Dragon-bird was truly a jinx. When it came to saying that something was wrong, something bad would immediately happen!

Near the river outside the village, there was a dilapidated River God Temple. This River God Temple was very old and dilapidated.

"Forget it, I'll just stay in the River God Temple and cultivate properly. There aren't many people in this broken temple, and I don't think there will be anyone disturbing me." Yuan Beidou thought to himself. After entering the River God Temple, he sat down cross-legged behind the shrine.

"Could it be that these villagers have not offered sacrifices to the river god for too long? That's why the river god got angry and punished the rain? " Yuan Beidou couldn't help but think.

Yuan Beidou closed both of his eyes and began to silently heal his injuries, strengthening his realm, and using his own intelligence to research on abilities.

Suddenly, Yuan Beidou heard a wave of noise coming from the village, and he vaguely heard a wave of "Sacrifice" or something similar.

"Hmm? Could it be that these people wanted to offer sacrifices to the river god? I heard that the long-term sacrifice can bring about some extraordinary power. I'll go take a look and see what this sacrifice is about. " Yuan Beidou's heart stirred. He let the Dragon-bird stay inside the temple, then went out to watch the show.

Yuan Beidou walked out of the run-down temple through the rain to see a group of villagers walking through the rain. A boy and a girl were trapped in a bamboo cage, being carried by the villagers towards the pier by the river.

"This time we must sacrifice the river god. If we don't sacrifice the river god, the rain won't stop, and the river will drown our village." The villagers could not help but say.

Yuan Beidou watched as the group of villagers carried the two children straight to the dock. In his heart, he was shocked, these villagers, could it be that they want to use the two children as sacrifices? This was too cruel!

A twenty-something year old woman was running in the rain, crying. She kept falling and crying, "Child, my child! My child! "

The two children vaguely heard their mother's voice and could not help but burst into tears, shouting that they wanted to go home.

"Xiu, just bear with it for the safety of the villagers. After you offer your two children to the Lord River God, our village will be preserved." The old elder whispered as he appeared beside the woman.

The woman named Ah Xiu said, "The people living in the river must be demons and devils, they are not fit to be called Lord River God! How could river god eat children? This is my child. You bullied my man to death too early. If you want to offer sacrifices to the river god, why not use your own child as a sacrifice? "

Yuan Beidou heard all of this and couldn't help but frown. It seemed that the river god had made the villagers use the children as sacrifices!

"What kind of demons are these in river god? Where did they get people to use virgins as sacrifices to their own gods? "I'll go take a look. If I can help, I'll have to." Yuan Beidou thought, seeing that woman who was crying her heart out, in his heart, he felt some pity.

Cultivation was to sever all emotions and desires, but it was not to extinguish one's humanity.

Actually, it wasn't right to say that he wanted to cut off all his emotions and desires, but he was too forgetful. Too forgetful, not heartless, but simply put the emotion aside, did not think it did not read it, as if it had forgotten it.

Xiu cried and screamed in the rain. She was held back by a few big men. "My child! You heartless people use my child as a sacrifice! Why don't you use your own child as a sacrifice?!" Return my child! "

The villagers had already brought the two children to the dock. Sure enough, the rain had passed and the sky had cleared.

"The Lord River God has appeared, let's sacrifice it quickly!" "This way, we'll be able to manage the weather this year." An old man said as he looked at the two crying children. Although he could not bear to see them, for the safety of the entire village, he had to sacrifice them.

Yuan Beidou frowned, the Dragon-bird saw that the rain had stopped, and came out of the temple, flying onto Yuan Beidou's shoulder and stopped, when it saw the scene before it, it could not help but be startled.

"What is this sacrifice?" You even want to use a child as a sacrifice? This is too cruel! " The Dragon-bird could not help but say.

"They are offering sacrifices to the river god, praying that the weather will be smooth sailing." Yuan Beidou said indifferently, "That river god really does seem to exist. Look, the moment they brought the child to the pier, the rain stopped."

The Dragon-bird then said: "It must be something that became a monster and caused chaos here. How could a true god need to be sacrificed by a boy and a girl?"

"Let's take a look for now. When that monster comes out later, I'll kill it!" Yuan Beidou said, "That mother was too pitiful. She had already cried until she fainted."

When the group of villagers arrived at the pier, they immediately set down the tables and started burning incense. They placed the beheaded head of a dead Yellow Ox on the table, and the mages began to make their moves.

"Hmph! That mage doesn't have the slightest bit of mana, he's just here to swindle money!" Yuan Beidou couldn't help but shake his head, "As expected, fools come out when they are in the middle of a deadly crisis. This place was a little remote, no wonder the imperial government didn't even care about it. Otherwise, how could the river god have a chance to cause trouble? It was directly suppressed by the experts sent by the imperial government! "

Within the Great Xia, experts were as numerous as the clouds. Even the Immortal Soul Stage Elders were countless in number. If this village was not so remote and the villagers reported this matter to the imperial government, the imperial government would definitely not sit idly by.

"Ah Dou, hurry up and save those two children. Otherwise, those two children will be sacrificed to that river god!" The Dragon-bird jumped up on Yuan Beidou's shoulder and was extremely anxious.

Yuan Beidou said softly, "There is no need to be anxious. I will only act after the river god appears. If I am unable to deal with this river god, then I am powerless. Hopefully, the realm of the river god is not high, and I can handle it. "

The Dragon-bird snorted, and said: "At most, there will be ghosts, spirits and the like. I think the abilities of this river god is not that great, if not I would not have been sacrificed by the villagers."

The Mage was chanting a prayer that he could not hear clearly. * wuaa * Yuan Beidou did not understand it at all, and the villagers did not understand it even more.

Then, the mage picked up the three sticks of incense and bowed towards the river, saying, "Lord River God, please enjoy the offerings, please bless Dahe Village's smooth sailing and great harvest for next year."

After a while, the Mage's three sticks of incense were all inserted into the censer. Yuan Beidou saw that the incense was quickly burning up, and after a while, the three sticks of incense were actually burnt to nothingness.

"Hmm? Looks like there really is a river god. " Yuan Beidou's eyes flashed. It was obvious that someone was enjoying the joss stick, otherwise, it would not have been possible for the joss stick to burn so quickly.

After praying for a while, the mage cupped his hands and bowed, allowing the boy and girl to be carried up. He loudly said: "Please enjoy the offerings, Lord River God!"

The water on the surface of the river began to flow, and then a huge whirlpool appeared, within which rose a man of water.

This water human looked like a dragon king.

"Pretending to be ghosts, I'm guessing that the cultivation of this river god is ordinary, and that's why he used his mana to change the river water into the Dragon King's appearance, so that the villagers would have even more respect and fear him!" Yuan Beidou sneered in his heart.

river god opened his mouth and said: "Throw all the offerings into the river, I will enjoy them for you. At that time, I will ensure that you will have good weather and reap good harvest in the next year."
