Chapter 684 A Scam! ?

One minute left. "Fang Yu glanced at the time on his phone, then looked at the stone platform in front of him.

He felt that the ground in front of the stone platform was emitting a faint array of power.

There seemed to be a small array at that location!

As time got closer to ten o'clock, the surroundings became quieter and quieter.

Later, almost everyone seemed to hold their breath, and only a little wind could be heard.

Soon, the time came to ten o'clock.

"Swish! "

Above the platform, that is, above the heads of the representatives of the noble families, there was a burst of colorful light.

Everyone looked up and looked at the light in the sky with extremely excited eyes.

Fang Yu looked at the colorful light and frowned slightly.

The light continued to radiate, and in the middle of it, a graceful figure slowly condensed.

Soon, the figure took shape, and the colorful light surrounded her.

As the brightness of the colorful light gradually weakened, the true body in it slowly revealed.

Goddess Qin Yao!

Today, the Goddess Qin Yao was wearing a white gauze dress. Her style and temperament were completely different from yesterday.

But her face was still covered with a piece of gauze, revealing only a pair of eyes.

Her long hair was draped around her waist, fluttering in the wind.

"Meet Goddess Qin Yao! "The representatives of the noble families below, including the Yuan family and the Fu family, all bowed their heads, clasped their hands together, and greeted in unison.

They were very humble.

Goddess Qin Yao floated in the air, just like a fairy who had never fallen into the mortal world. Her eyes were ethereal and she swept over the people below without any emotion.

Then, she noticed Fang Yu and Bai Ran, the only two people who did not bow their heads in the crowd.

These two people were staring at her straight.

Goddess Qin Yao frowned slightly, but did not care too much.

"Thank you all for coming to participate in today's sacrificial ceremony." Goddess Qin Yao made a pleasant voice.

The representatives of the noble families below raised their heads.

"Next, the sacrificial ceremony officially begins. "Goddess Qin Yao said.

As soon as she finished speaking, she raised her right hand and flicked it forward.

A little light scattered from under her sleeves and fell downwards.

The star-like light fell on the stone platform below, and it seemed to trigger some kind of mechanism, suddenly bursting out with dazzling light!

Many people turned their heads away to prevent their eyes from being hurt by the strong light.

But at this time, Fang Yu stared at the stone platform in front of him.

He clearly saw that a shadow in the light was slowly expanding!

After a few seconds, the light dissipated, and the shadow turned into a solid entity!

A human-shaped statue!

"This is... the one I used the hole to make yesterday. "The human-shaped statue on the top floor of the Sand God Temple that I saw with my eyes..." Fang Yu's eyes flashed, thinking.

But the statue in front of him was different from the one I saw yesterday.

The head of the statue I saw yesterday was covered by a black cloth.

But the head of the statue in front of him was not covered at all.

This was an ordinary male face.

He raised his hands and put his palms together to form a complex gesture.

Fang Yu noticed this yesterday, but did not study it carefully.

And recently, when he saw the statue again, Fang Yu was very interested in this gesture.

"This gesture... seems to be pinching a spell? But what's the meaning of sculpting it like this?" Fang Yu frowned.

The appearance of the statue caused a sigh from the crowd in the distance.

Such a large statue just appeared out of thin air.

Such a scene is shocking enough for most people.

"Please offer your tributes, donors. "

In mid-air, Goddess Qin Yao spoke again.

Tribute?

Fang Yu saw the representatives of the noble families in front of him, and they took out the tributes they prepared from their storage bags and walked towards the statue in front.

When they were about ten meters away from the statue, the group of people stopped in tacit understanding and lined up in a queue.

The first people to walk out of the queue were the Yuan family couple, Yuan Chenglong and Fu Zhaorong.

The two of them held hands, and Yuan Chenglong held a gift box in his left hand. He walked to the statue and placed the gift box on the ground in front of the stone platform under the statue.

Then, the two knelt down and kowtowed to the statue in front of them.

After kowtowing three times, the two raised their heads, closed their eyes, and looked pious, as if they were making a wish.

About three seconds later, the two stood up.

"Swish!"

At this time, the statue in front of them, the pair of hands that made strange gestures, glowed with white light.

"Snap! "

Then, a not-so-thick book fell from between his hands.

Yuan Chenglong immediately stretched out his hands to catch the book, his face extremely excited.

"Thank you, God of Sand, for the gift..." Yuan Chenglong and Fu Zhaorong bowed together, saying respectfully and gratefully.

At this time, the civilians watching the excitement in the distance all opened their eyes wide and exclaimed.

"The rumors are really true! God of Sand has appeared!"

"As long as you offer tribute to the statue of God of Sand and make a wish for the item you want, God of Sand will give you the divine item!"

"Oh my God...it's true...I want to go up too..."

There were sighs and sighs of envy from the crowd.

At this time, Yuan Chenglong and Fu Zhaorong had already walked back into the crowd.

The next to walk out were the Fu family couple, Fu Yousheng and Yuan Jiangmei.

The two repeated what Yuan Chenglong and his wife had done before.

After offering tribute and making a wish, the statue's hands glowed again.

"Pah!"

This time, what fell was not a book, but a dagger with a cold glow!

Fu Yousheng picked up the dagger, held it in his hand, and after a brief observation, he hurriedly bent down to thank him.

"This is too magical... Is it true that if you wish for something, you can get it?" Bai Ran said in a shocked voice.

Fang Yu looked at the statue in front of him, and then turned his head to look in the direction of Yuan Chenglong and his wife who had just returned.

With his amazing eyesight, he could see the cover of the book in Yuan Chenglong's hand, which read "Taoism is pure".

"This is a secret book of magic." Fang Yu's eyes flashed, and he looked at Fu Yousheng again, "That is a dagger... It is indeed a different item."

"From their expressions, we can see that they got what they wanted. It's just..."

"It's a bit interesting."

Fang Yu raised his eyes and looked at the statue in front of him, and then raised his head and looked at the goddess Qin Yao in a long skirt in the air.

At this time, the third person stepped forward.

This person came from the Cheng family in Xidu, which is also a top family.

Just like the previous process, after placing the tribute, the head of the Cheng family made a pious wish.

But this time, the hands of the statue glowed, but no items fell.

After waiting for a while, the head of the Cheng family turned pale, shook his head helplessly and sighed, bowed and said: "I am very sorry that I failed to offer the tribute that the gods like this time... This is my mistake... Please believe me, God of Sand, I will definitely prepare a better tribute next time..."

Seeing this scene, the crowd in the distance burst into exclamations again.

It turns out that offering tributes does not guarantee a gift!

To get the gift of God of Sand, you also need to offer the tribute that he likes!

The head of the Cheng family returned to the crowd, and someone comforted him.

"Head of the Cheng family, there is no need to be too depressed. If you didn't get a gift this time, you will definitely get one next time."

"Well, next time I will definitely prepare a better tribute and take out all the heirlooms!" The head of the Cheng family said with a determined face.

But except for a few people who were comforting, most of the other family representatives had a gloating look in their eyes.

The divine object bestowed by the Sand God will most likely change the strength of a family.

The Cheng family did not get the gift this time, which gave the families behind them a chance to catch up!

At this time, Fang Yu looked at the statue, his eyes became playful.

He was not sure before.

But after seeing the fate of the head of the Cheng family, he was basically sure that the so-called sacrificial ceremony was actually a large-scale money-making activity, or even a scam!

Fang Yu had basically figured out the tricks.

Next, one after another, the representatives of the family came forward and presented the carefully prepared tributes.

Through their pious wishes, some people were able to get the gift, and some could not.

Those who were given the gift had excited smiles on their faces, while those who were not given the gift were full of sorrow and sighed.

These two emotions were quite distinct, and they kept changing and appeared on everyone's face for a period of time afterwards.
