Chapter 48 Sacrifice

dark sky,

dark clouds surge,

The heavy rain poured down, and the clattering rain curtain covered the entire sky and the earth.

riverside grass,

Two figures, a man and a woman, wearing a bamboo hat and coir raincoat, with a long sword on their backs, are swiftly flying past the lush reeds.

its appearance,

They are indeed two rangers who have traveled in the rivers and lakes.

"Brother, it's raining too much, why don't we find a place to shelter from the rain! If the immortals from the Four Immortals Sect in Hetang Town have already beheaded the Monstrous Monkey King, then it will be useless for us to chase him away!"

The woman breathed slightly,

They galloped all the way, and then encountered the torrential rain on the top, which hindered the journey too much, and the woman was already a little tired after the high-intensity rush.

The man looked at the junior sister who was almost getting wet behind him, then looked up at the sky,

As far as the eye can see, there are black clouds,

The drifting rain that pours everywhere,

With a sigh:

"Forget it, let's find a place to rest first. There is such a heavy rain, and there is no rush."

More than ten days ago,

Their brothers and sisters learned from friends in Jianghu that a monster monkey king appeared near Hetang Town and led many monster monkeys to attack the spirit fruit forest guarded by the Four Immortal Gate.

Once the monster monkey king is successfully strangled, the corpses of those monkey monsters can be distributed according to their merits.

The reputation of the Four Immortals Sect in Hetang Town is pretty good,

There was no report of any deduction of remuneration.

So I heard the news,

The two brothers and sisters rushed towards Hetang Town overnight.

In this arena,

Which martial artist wouldn't want to step into the realm of immortality once he obtains a spiritual object and succeeds in feeling Qi?

The so-called rivers and lakes martial arts,

To a large extent, it is because many mortals want to seek the immortal gate, in order to obtain the opportunity of spiritual objects more easily to improve their own strength, and form a transitional class before entering the immortal way.

Wu enters the fairyland,

It is the meaning of existence of this Jianghu martial arts.

Although it is extremely dangerous for warriors to face low-level monsters, the monkey monster spirits of the Four Immortals Gate in Hetang Town are not so easy to get, and they are full of dangers.

But at least there is such an opportunity, they must grasp it!

So their two brothers and sisters rushed over overnight,

Unfortunately, in the middle,

Encountering certain things, they were delayed for some time, and it rained heavily the next day, which brought a lot of trouble to their journey.

"Brother, there seem to be some people ahead, they should be able to find a village to shelter from the rain!"

look up,

But on the riverside ahead, a group of farmers and farmers gathered there, not knowing what they were doing.

vaguely,

It sounded like a child crying.

Although a little puzzled, the two senior brothers and sisters were bold and did not worry too much, and flew forward directly.

As far as tens of feet away,

See everything in front of you clearly,

His eyes widened in horror,

startled and angry,

Immediately shouted angrily:

"Bastard, what are you doing?!!!!"

But seeing the riverside,

A group of villagers and peasant women knelt by the river and kept bowing towards the rushing river,

And before them,

Two six or seven-year-old children in ragged clothes were placed in a wooden cage. Four shirtless strong men were carrying the cage to the riverside and pushing it into the muddy water.

The yellow turbid river rushes to overflow, pours into the wooden cage,

The older girl in the cage tightly hugged her fearful and crying younger brother, and pulled up the wooden cage with her hands, but the rushing turbid river water had submerged more than half of their lower bodies.

The girl's little face was pale,

Two eyes looked in fear at the four strong men who were pushing the cage into the surging river.

Lips quivered, unable to speak.

"Stop it!!!"

The man roared angrily, and quickly used his lightness kung fu to rush out from a high place, like a big bird flying a distance of several feet, kicking his feet in the air one after another, kicking the four strong men around the wooden cage away in an instant go back.

At this time,

The same shocked and angry woman floated lightly, and pulled up the wooden cage that was about to sink into the turbid and churning river.

The sword light flashed across,

the cage split open,

The woman hugged both the crying boy and the terrified girl behind her.

sudden misfortune,

It made a kind of villagers stop kneeling and worshiping.

stand up

Then the crowd parted,

An old man with a cane and a face like the bark of an old pagoda tree came out angrily,

The crutches slammed on the grass by the river a few times,

Ask the two brothers and sisters who suddenly came out:

"Who are you, why do you want to interrupt our sacrifice to the river god?"

"What kind of bullshit sacrificial offering? Could it be that two children are still used as sacrifices?!"

Facing the menacing gazes of the villagers, the Jianghu woman was not afraid at all. She protected the two shivering little guys who were just above their waists with her arms, and yelled at the leading old guy loudly.

"What do you two outsiders know?!"

"This river has a serious river god. The two dead parents have no one to feed them. What's wrong with sending them to the river god to eat and drink spicy food?"

Furious, the old man pointed at the noses of the two brothers and sisters and cursed.

"Hurry up and hand over the person to us, or don't blame us rough people for being rude!"

"Yes! Get the hell out of here and hand him over!"

"If the river god is angry, you will have something to eat!"

"Outsiders, you are not welcome here, get lost!"

behind

A group of villagers echoed loudly, with a turbulent momentum.

"what!"

The man took a deep breath,

Almost laughing back with anger.

He used to hear people say that in some remote places, there will be foolish men and women who worship monsters as mountain gods and use living people as sacrifices.

I thought it was just some country legend, not enough to believe.

I didn't expect to meet them today, and this so-called foolish man and woman in the village killed someone, and it was the lives of two children, so it should be so reasonable!

"Since what you said is so good, why don't you serve the river god yourself?"

"none of your business!"

"Outlander, get out of here!"

A group of villagers held sticks in their hands and kept booing.

The man in the rivers and lakes looked livid,

Decided not to talk nonsense,

Like a phantom flying into the crowd, true energy swept across the sky, and the young and strong men in the front were immediately kicked out.

Men in the rivers and lakes are like tigers entering a herd of sheep, rushing from left to right.

How could these ordinary people who couldn't even punch two times be his opponents, one after another, knocking down the besieged villagers one after another?

Soon a group of villagers were beaten to pieces and fled back in embarrassment.

"You guys, just wait, Lord River God will definitely punish you!"

The old man was dragged by a group of people,

staggering back and forth,

It seemed that he was frightened by the fierceness of the man in the rivers and lakes, and his hands and feet trembled.

"Hmph, I'm just standing here, waiting to see how it punishes me!"

The voice did not fall,

The wind and rain are more urgent,

The turbid river rushing by the river began to stir rapidly, and a huge shadow slowly drifted away...
