The only way

Chapter 22
"Little fairy, that Taoist priest is a well-known Taoist priest in the south of the Yangtze River. He is called Saishenxian. He heard that he can call wind and rain, communicate with the Nine Nethers and Qingming, and has boundless Taoism. It is extremely difficult to invite. I didn't expect the Su family to invite it. The cost is not high. Little. On the road, a ceremony of Immortal Sai is worth a thousand gold." Qian Duojin said with emotion, at first he also thought about going to Immortal Sai for a pill, or to see Feng Shui, but unfortunately, it was too difficult to invite, expensive and expensive It is worrying.

Qian Duojin was skeptical about things he hadn't seen with his own eyes.

Lingchu's clear eyes flashed a faint light, and he looked at the so-called Immortal Sai, who had stronger aura than ordinary people, but did not have the slightest spiritual power.

However, there seemed to be something hanging on Sai Shenxian's chest, with a faint aura, which was very weak.

Lingchu only took one look, then looked away, whether she is a liar or has a magic weapon, it has nothing to do with her.

"Fake." But I still have to remind you that money is worth more than money, and the money saved is worth the money.

"Fake?!" Qian Duojin, who has been in business for many years, could suppress the exclamation that was about to blurt out, but he just lowered his head and whispered it to the little fairy.

Lingchu nodded, "His physique is indeed better than ordinary people, and there are some strange things about him, but he is not a monk."

Lingchu didn't tell Qian Duojin that Sai Shenxian might have a magic weapon. Although she had a good impression of Qian Duojin after getting along with her in the past few days, she didn't want to reveal other people's secrets easily, and she didn't want to gamble. human nature.

The two on this side were talking in a low voice, while Immortal Sai on the other side walked around the altar with strange steps, bouncing around the altar, and talking scriptures that no one could understand.

Finally, Immortal Sai returned to the front of the altar, raised his hands high, and shouted, "Sacrifice!"

After saying that, several strong men in gray clothes carried two small red sedan chairs on their shoulders, stepped up to the altar on the second floor, and then carried out a pair of boys and girls in red clothes.

Lingchu frowned, Qian Duojin couldn't hold back his exclamation this time, "Is this a human sacrifice?"

For a while, in the crowd of onlookers.

The local people in Suyang City who knew it were silent, and the tourists and business travelers from outside were all whispering to each other, and there were unbelievable discussions.

Facing the condemnation and pointing from outsiders, the well-informed citizens of Suyang City dodged and remained silent, while some opened their mouths to refute, "This year, there was a disaster in Dragon Lake, and we rely on land and pearls for food. Eight out of ten households suffered disasters. If you don’t have enough to eat, you have to sell your sons and daughters in the end, we didn’t force people to sacrifice, it’s because the children’s own parents are cruel, and they sold them for money.”

It's a matter of survival, and after all, it's just passing by. Although foreign tourists and business travelers are condemning and talking about it, there are not many who really dare to stand up.

"You can't do this!"

The well-dressed young masters and ladies uttered indignation, occupied several servants and maidservants behind them, and jumped out of the crowd to stop them.

"Who wants to do this? If the anger of the Dragon King in the lake is not appeased, the people of our Suyang City will have to gnaw the bark. Young masters and ladies, if we don't do this, it is impossible for you to give us food and money to support us in Suyang City." Up and down thousands of households?"

The people whose fields were severely affected by the disaster at home are red-eyed. Who is born to be such a cruel person, and is not forced by life. How can the well-clothed young men and ladies understand the sorrow of their low-level people.

"I'll pay for those two people, can't it?" The young masters and ladies dare not say that they can support so many people, but they still hold their necks and refuse to give in easily.

"Master, miss, you are kind and willing to save those two children, but you just bought today's two children, you can't stop them." In the crowd, the white-haired old man had a sad face, bent over Curved back.

These words silenced the indignant young masters and ladies, surrounded by more than a dozen robust servants of the Su family, and even made the servants behind the young masters and ladies tug at the sleeves of their masters.

You can't talk about him with words, and you can't beat him with your hands. Master, why don't we keep a low profile first?
The old man's words also silenced the crowd for three minutes, yes, it can be controlled for a while, but not for a lifetime.

Looking at his strong servants again, Qian Duojin shook his head and sighed regretfully, "It's hard for a strong dragon to overwhelm a snake. What do you think, little fairy?"

Um?Where is the little fairy?
Qian Duojin was dumbfounded when he turned his head. The little fairy who was standing beside him disappeared without a sound.

No matter how lively it is downstairs, it will not affect the river god sacrifice on the altar.

After being drugged, Yang Zhaodi's whole body was limp and her consciousness was clear, but she couldn't move, and she was desperately at the mercy of the servants of the Su family.

The last step of the River God Sacrifice is to send the boys and girls into a small boat, and then push them into the mist in the center of the lake.

Yang Zhaodi and the boy sat on the boat, their hands and feet tied with thick hemp ropes, and their mouths were stuffed with cloth balls.

Even if there is no one, there is no way to escape.

The boat was obviously not being pushed by anyone, but it kept drifting towards the fog in the center of the lake. Seeing myself changing from a clear sight to a gray fog, I couldn't see clearly ahead, nor where the shore was. There is only one meter of visibility around the boat.

With the loss of sight, the hearing became much sharper. Except for the faint sound of water, there was no human voice, not even the sound of birdsong.

Panic gradually filled Yang Zhaodi's brain, and the unknown fear made her tremble unconsciously. She thought she had resigned to her fate, no, she still didn't want to die, she was afraid of death!

Whoa!
A different sound of water flowing suddenly sounded on this seemingly dead lake. Yang Zhaodi's eyes were filled with tears, and she stared at the boy in front of her, who could be said to be in sympathy with the same illness, and let out a whining sound.

She didn't know the boy, but she knew that the boy was not drugged because he didn't cry or fuss, so he could still move.

Yang Zhaodi failed to seek death at the time, and when she opened her eyes, she saw the boy's indifferent expression and indifferent words, "Accept fate."

In a word, Yang Zhaodi was disheartened.

The boy has been expressionless since he was sold. Yang Zhaodi doesn't expect the boy to respond, but now, the boy is the only way to survive.

Yang Zhaodi saw the boy's eyes widen suddenly. For the first time, Yang Zhaodi saw an expression on the boy's face. Was it fear?

The boy looked straight behind Yang Zhaodi, and in a blink of an eye, Yang Zhaodi understood something, and turned his head to look behind him with all his might.

A huge bloody mouth was swallowed towards her, and the thick smell rushed towards her face. Yang Zhaodi's mind went blank for a moment, and she remained motionless.

monster!
boom!
The huge impact resounded throughout the lake, and the aftermath of the impact hit waves layer by layer, spreading out around the boat.

Yang Zhaodi opened her eyes wide, and at some point in front of her, a petite figure appeared in front of her, wearing a long cyan skirt and a ponytail tied with a ribbon of the same color fluttering gently in the air due to the aftermath.

In front of the petite figure, there was a hazy blue light, outlining complex patterns, and a blue shield-shaped object as tall as a person was suspended in the air, blocking the monster's attack and protecting the drifting boat.
