"I happen to be short of two guards, so let them stand by my side, there is nothing wrong with it." Qin Wuyan pulled up the curtain, looked back at the woman lying beside him, and got out of the car .
Mo Siyu followed Qin Wuyan step by step along the steps, pulling Chu Chuyan up to the altar.
Qin Wuyan stood on the high platform, waved his sleeves to the kneeling people below, and said, "Get up."
The people stood up from the ground one after another before they dared to look up at the high priest.
The man's appearance is extremely handsome, his body is like a slender bamboo, and his temperament is absolutely dusty, like a heaven and man descending, his whole body exudes nobility, his aura is strong, and he is majestic without anger.
This is the chosen person of the people of Yuecheng, and he is really extraordinary.
The moment they saw Qin Wuyan's true face, these people became more devout towards the high priest, it was a kind of fanaticism and worship from the bottom of their hearts.
Even if Mo Siyu was standing on a high platform, he could feel that kind of prostration.
Her heart was full of mixed feelings. These ignorant ordinary people actually pinned all their hopes on another ordinary person.
Where in this world is there any real god?
You are your own god!
The fat city lord propped up his fat arms and stood up from the ground with difficulty, nodded and bowed to Qin Wuyan: "High Priest, the sacrificial ceremony is about to begin."
Qin Wuyan gave a faint "hmm".
The high priests in the past never participated in such occasions. This high priest came suddenly, and it was the first time that he attended the sacrificial ceremony in person. The city lord couldn't guess what the purpose was.
He could only deal with it carefully.
Standing on the edge of the platform, Chu Chuyan looked down, and saw that the butcher had already killed several cattle, sheep and pigs, and the river bank was stained red with blood.
The thick smell of blood permeated the humid air and couldn't go away.
The tiny snowflakes spread a thin layer on the ground, looking from a distance, it is white and flawless.
Standing beside Chu Chuyan, Mo Siyu stared at the blood-stained river below, and asked in a low voice, "The moat is the largest river in Yuecheng, and the water is rushing. Is there any foreign object underneath?"
Chu Chuyan watched the movement on the river for a moment: "I don't know, I just heard that every time a sacrifice is made to the river god, the river god will come and take away the sacrifices.
Otherwise, I don't know.
Besides, this kind of thing has always been presided over by the city lord, and the high priest and the three great families have never intervened in this matter.
I can only hear rumors from the common people, and I have never seen the specific situation. "
Just as he was talking, he saw the river tumbling, and a large black thing dived under the blood-stained clear water. Judging by the length of the thing, it was about three feet long and wide.
From time to time, a red lotus flower appeared on the water.
The river gradually became cloudy.
The butcher standing on the bank shouted: "Here comes the river god."
The city lord looked up at the mirror, the fat on his excited face was trembling: "The river god has come, the river god has finally come, and began to throw sacrifices."
The butcher below threw a slaughtered pig into the water, and the pig disappeared instantly.
The red lotus almost leaped to the surface of the water.
Mo Siyu narrowed his eyes, staring at the river surface tightly.
The city lord pointed at the two children in the basket, and urged, "Hurry up, don't make the river god wait too long."
The two children were grabbed out of the basket by the guards.
Just about to screw the two teary-eyed children to the edge of the high platform, I heard a hoarse cry from the crowd: "High Priest, High Priest, please spare my life, please High Priest, save my children."
