Chapter 1971 Pretending to Be a Ghost

Ah Da immediately shook his head when he heard Yu Qingqian's question.

"No, no one in the village has seen the sea god in the portrait for so many years, and there is no record in the history books."

Feng Chen thought for a while and asked, "The high priest gave you the Sea God statue painted on the portrait?"

Ah Da replied: "Well, the portrait was given by the high priest. He said that as long as they have the protection of the sea god, those blood sea monsters will be afraid, and the time to attack the village will be extended."

"However, it is true. Since the portrait of the Sea God was enshrined and sacrifices were made every few years, the blood sea monster attacking the village that would have occurred in a few years or ten years has extended to about twenty years. "

"It's just that the recent incident is a bit surprising, because there was only one blood sea monster attacking the village eight years ago, so several village chiefs are discussing whether we have offended the Sea God by doing something wrong, and we have to start Ready to sacrifice."

Lin Mingze asked curiously again: "What is the so-called sacrifice? That is, what do you usually use to sacrifice?"

Ah Da was silent for a moment. This was originally a secret between Bloodmist Village and the high priest. He also knew some of the secrets because he was the adopted child of the village chief, so he was very confused whether to tell the three of them.

From what he has seen since he grew up, Ada doesn't have deep respect for the high priest and the sea god, and even has an inexplicable doubt, but he can't find a clue.

Seeing that Ah Da was silent and hesitant, the three of them had no use urging them, they walked quietly waiting for him to choose to speak out.

After about half a stick of incense, Ah Da finally made up his mind, looked at the transparent light shield surrounding them again, and said, "All we sacrifice are souls."

"Sacrificing the soul?" Yu Qingqian and the three of them were a little surprised.

Ah Da nodded: "Well, the people in the village are very fertile. Every year in a family, newborn babies will be born, and because of the harsh environment and so on, there will be half of them in each village every year. Babies who are born around the time will die. Therefore, each village head will collect the souls of these babies, and sacrifice them to the sea god after reaching a certain amount."

Ada himself is a little disgusted with this kind of practice. He thinks that things should not be that simple. In fact, the village head and prestigious elders in the village also think it is not simple, but they have no choice but to follow suit, otherwise It will bring disaster to the village.

Yu Qingqian frowned when she heard this sacrifice method, "The soul of a newborn baby is the purest, so the so-called Sea God actually asked you to use this kind of soul sacrifice, it must not be a good thing."

Ah Da sighed: "Who knows, but miss, don't say this in the village. Now many villagers worship and fear the sea god and the high priest very deeply. They are afraid that if they accidentally offend the sea god, they will be punished in the future. will suffer again."

"Have any of your village chiefs met the high priest?" Feng Chen asked.

Ah Da thought for a while and said: "Every time the village chiefs offered sacrifices, the high priest presided over them, but I heard from the village chiefs that what they saw was the shadow of the high priest, as for the real face, they were not lucky enough to see .”

Yu Qingqian raised her eyebrows: "The high priest seems to be quite mysterious. I don't know if he is really that powerful, or he is just pretending to be a ghost."

Ah Da saw that she wanted to stop her from saying this, otherwise it would be troublesome if the high priest heard it.

But seeing the transparent light shield around him, he held back again, and inexplicably had an illusion in his heart that these three people were more reliable than the high priest.
