Chapter 1759: Confused as the Sea, the King of Inspiration!
Today’s first update: Chapter 1760! 14!
…
"So, Kunkun, are you planning to liberate the Xiliang Women's Kingdom today?"
After Hao Jian finished speaking, Chu Weiwei immediately looked at Xu Kun with nervousness and hope.
Xu Kun smiled slightly: "It depends on their own wishes!"
After that, he stood up and looked to the west.
What comes into view is a large river that goes all the way to the west, with no end as far as the eye can see, as if it is connected to the sky!
The moon is soaked in the bright light, and the shadows are floating in the sky.
The Ling sect swallowed up Huayue and flowed through hundreds of rivers.
Thousands of turbulent waves are rolling, and thousands of steep waves are cresting.
There are no fishing fires at the shore, but there are herons sleeping on the sand head. I am as confused as the sea, and my gaze is even more boundless.
A journey of eight hundred miles, an eternal journey by a young man!
Eight hundred miles to the Tianhe River!
Even Xu Kun couldn't help but sigh: "It's like a sea, as far as the eye can see!"
The Tongtian River is not an important road. Going west again, it is where the holy light of the angel clan's heaven is shrouded. It can be said that foreigners are not allowed to enter. Even the people from the countries in the Western Region have no reason to come here.
Therefore, even if Tongtian River has a weird name, it has nothing to do with others!
However, beneath this boundary, a small village of some size was formed due to the gathering of people.
People die for money, and birds die for food. There are always people in the world who can put themselves in danger for profit.
Xu Kun ordered the Nine Dragon Chariot to be lowered. When he was overtaking Zhuangzi, while the people below were frightened, he led his team to step down from the air.
"Little old men Chen Cheng and Chen Qing, welcome the arrival of God Kun!"
Before Xu Kun could speak, two middle-aged men with vague imperial power came out and saluted Xu Kun and his party.
Judging from their appearance, they look like brothers, and they are actually from the human race.
Xu Kun glanced around with his PoWu Divine Eyes, taking in all the information in this Zhuangzi.
Zhuangzi is not a big place, with only a few hundred households, but there are all kinds of people, not only humans and wolves, but also people of other races. It can be said that it is a mixed bag!
In terms of realm, the two people who came forward to greet them are the strongest at the moment, and the rest are all low-level beings.
"Do you recognize me?" Xu Kun asked.
The two of them were very nervous and said: "The name of God Kun is like thunder in the ears. Who in the world doesn't know it? Although we live far away here, we have also heard about God Kun's recent expedition to the west to pacify all the countries. Unexpectedly, God Kun arrived here and was not welcomed from afar. Please forgive me!"
"No need to be polite, I'm here just to inquire about the Tongtian River!"
Xu Kun nodded towards everyone, and the group fell down together. The people around him immediately dispersed, with fear on their faces.
"Are you two in charge here?"
The two introduced their surname as Chen, and this village was also called Chenjiazhuang. It seemed that they were descendants of the old man named Chen who was the first to travel to and from Tongtian River hundreds of years ago.
"Exactly, my two brothers are in charge of Zhuangzi's affairs. I wonder why God Kun is here?"
Xu Kun did not tell his purpose immediately, but first learned about Zhuangzi.
As he learned, the original ancestor of the Chen family fled here. The original Chen family was a small business clan in China, specializing in trading with countries in the Western Regions in exchange for wealth.
Unexpectedly, they were chased by thieves that time. The ancestor of the Chen family and a group of family guards protected the goods all the way westward until they came to the bank of the Tongtian River. With the help of the big demon in the Tongtian River, they not only escaped the pursuit, but also arrived with the goods. The Xiliang Women's Kingdom on the other side of the Tongtian River.
"Tongtianhe Great Demon Xiangzhu? Is he so kind?"
Chen Cheng, the person in charge of Chenjiazhuang, felt embarrassed when he heard this: "It's not that simple..."
Xu Kun was about to ask more questions. After following him into the Chen family mansion, he found that the white flags were fluttering here. It was actually a funeral...?
Xu Kun paused and said with a slight embarrassment: "I'm sorry, it's so offensive. Since it's inconvenient for my family, I won't go in."
It is somewhat impolite for you to be a guest at someone's home when they are having a funeral.
Brothers Chen Cheng and Chen Qing looked at each other and shook their heads at Xu Kun: "It doesn't matter, what I'm waiting for here is a living funeral. If Kun Shen doesn't mind, please come to the village to talk about it."
Mourning alive?
Xu Kun entered curiously and found that there were no coffins or tablets in the mourning hall, only two little dolls...
Is this a funeral for these two little dolls?
"You all go and get busy!" Chen Cheng waved his hand toward the door, and all kinds of people from Chenjiazhuang retreated one after another.
Xu Kun and everyone were even more suspicious.
Chen Cheng gave instructions for the rituals that were still going on, and then he was about to lead Xu Kun inside. Unexpectedly, the baby girl originally placed on the altar ran down and hugged Xu Kun's thigh.
This frightened Chen Cheng. While apologizing to Xu Kun, he hugged the baby and put it on the altar.
"Kunshen, please!"
Xu Kun took a deep look and didn't feel any signs of life fading from the two baby babies. Since they weren't sick, why did they have to hold funerals for them?
With doubts, Xu Kun followed inside.
After being respectfully invited to take the throne, Xu Kun couldn't help but said: "Master Chen, there is no need to be polite. You just said that the big demon in Tongtian River helped your ancestor of the Chen family. What was his purpose? This so-called living death..."
Hearing this, Chen Cheng sighed: "The boy used for the funeral outside is my son, and the girl is my eldest brother's child. The living funeral was held after King Inspiration of Tongtian River rescued my ancestor of the Chen family. I, the Chen family, agreed to do what he wanted to do.”
This made Xu Kun confused.
"Promise what?"
Chen Cheng sighed: "He helped my ancestor of the Chen family escape from danger, and allowed my Chen family to go back and forth to Tongtian River to trade with the Xiliang Women's Kingdom in exchange for a lot of income, but the price is that my Chen family has to settle here for generations and be his slaves. ”
"and……"
Speaking of this, Chen Cheng's eyes turned red.
Chen Qing, who was not good at words, was also sighing.
Xu Kun was about to ask a question when two people broke in from outside the house. A woman led a baby girl, who was Chen Qing's daughter who was on the altar just now.
"God Kun, please save my daughter!"
After saying that, he knelt down in front of Xu Kun, pressed the little girl's head, and kowtowed to Xu Kun together.
Ah this...
Xu Kun waved his hand quickly, and a breeze blew by, forcing the two of them to stand up.
Xu Kun also stood up with a sullen brow: "Master Chen, what's going on? It's okay to say it!"
Chen Cheng did not answer first, but winked at Chen Qing, who was about to drag his wife and children away.
"Stop!" Xu Kun shouted, then looked at the woman and said, "Say!"
The woman burst into tears: "My Chen family has been forced to settle here for generations, trading with both sides of the Taiwan Strait, and gained a lot of wealth. However, as the slaves of the inspirational king of Tongtian River, we and other descendants of the Chen family have to provide a pair of boys every year." Only by providing him with a virgin can I keep my Chen family village safe."
"My Chen family has accumulated a lot of wealth from generation to generation, but due to many evil deeds, we only have a daughter from the eldest family and a son from the second family. Now the King of Inspiration has specified that the boy and girl, the main lineage of my Chen family, should be offered as sacrifices. This is destroying the incense of my Chen family. !”
"Please Kun God, make the decision for us!"
After that, he knelt down again regardless of the obstruction.
Is there such a thing?
Xu Kun looked at Chen Cheng and asked for confirmation.
Chen Cheng sighed: "In order to continue the incense, our Chen family has kidnapped people of other races to take root in Chenjiazhuang. For hundreds of years, we must contribute a pair of boys and girls to the King of Inspiration every year. Otherwise, they will take away the elders of my Chen family." Little lives.”
"We have no choice but to give in. However, my eldest brother and I are not able to have many heirs, and now we have to..."
Xu Kun understood.
