Desert Island Survival: I took my concubine and raised wolf cubs

Chapter 70 Death Island

Whether there are ghosts or gods, let’s not say for now.It is said that after the foreign ship docked smoothly on the shore, eight people got off the ship.

And among these eight people, the leader was actually a woman.

The woman was wrapped in a black cloak. Wen Xian couldn't see her face clearly, but she saw that the scepter in her hand was similar to the scepter in the hand of Poseidon with the sail pattern.

Wen Xian's heart froze. Could it be that the Poseidon is really here?But Poseidon is clearly a man, how could he be a woman?

Behind the woman were two maids who were also wearing cloaks, but unlike the black cloak on the woman, the cloaks on the two maids were gray.

Behind them, five middle-aged men dressed as villagers stood respectfully. They seemed to be ordinary fishermen.

Wen Xian breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that she was not looking for trouble.

As soon as she breathed a sigh of relief, she saw the leading woman actually raised her eyes to where they were hiding, and then walked towards their direction.

Wen Xian:......

She was amazed in her heart, who was that person? He had such good eyesight and could find their hiding place at a glance.

In this situation, Wen Xian could no longer hide, so she jumped down from the tree with Sheng Lian'er and took the initiative to walk towards those people.

There are only a few people here, I think she and Sheng Lian'er can handle them.

However, before she could reach them, she and Sheng Lian'er were blocked by the fisherman standing in front of the woman in black cloak.

"How many of you want to go to the island?" Wen Xian said first, "There are wild wolves on the island. They just went down the mountain yesterday to cause trouble. If you want to go up the mountain, you need to be careful."

The island is not private property, and she has no right to prevent others from coming up.But we can dig deeper first to see what these people want to do.

"Of course there are wolves on the Island of Death." Not only are there wolves, but there are also wild beasts, and they don't dare to come.

The uncle standing at the front said with an inexplicable look on his face: "Little girls, what are you doing on the Island of Death? There are many wild animals on the island, and ordinary people avoid this place."

Otherwise, the nearby aborigines would have come to mine such a large island long ago.

Island of the Dead?Wen Xian hid the emotions in her eyes and said calmly: "Then what are you going to do?"

She didn't expect that this island was actually called Death Island, and it seemed that these people were still trying to avoid it.

At this time, the woman in the black cloak said: "Don't be afraid, girl, these uncles are villagers from the Sun Island across the way, and I am Zhu Sizhu Li from the island. Recently, I found smoke appearing on the Death Island, so I came over to take a look at the situation. .”

There was constant smoke, and it was related to the sea area. As Zhu Si, she had to come to check it out no matter what.

"I think it was a misunderstanding caused by our usual fire-making." Wen Xian said to several people, "Wen Yun would like to apologize to you for causing trouble to you. My name is Wen Yun, and this is my sister Wen Lian. "

She was secretly upset and said that the smoke would be discovered.No, it attracted everyone from the opposite island.

She raised her eyes now and saw Zhu Li's face under the black cloak.

It turns out that Zhu Li is actually Zhu Si, who specially presides over the Poseidon Sacrifice Ceremony and is responsible for singing divine songs and inviting gods.

There can only be one toastmaster in a place or area.For example, the Sun Island opposite is a whole and has only one Zhu Si.

Each Zhu Si is selected by the divination of the previous Zhu Si. The chosen successor of Zhu Si has lived with the old Zhu Si in the Temple of the Sea since birth.

In other words, the chosen successor of Zhu Si has no freedom since birth.

Enjoy the offerings from the villagers and practice sacrificial rituals.

At the same time, Zhu Si is a symbol of holiness and cannot get married for life.There can be no love, including love and family affection, only the love to save all sentient beings.Before the old Zhusi dies, he will hand over the mantle to the new Zhusi.Zhu Si's status in the village is higher than that of the village chief, clan chief, and even the emperor, and his status is second only to the God of the Sea.

Wen Xian was secretly speechless when she heard the fisherman uncle's knowledge spread.The mountain is high and the emperor is far away. Of course, the emperor will not stretch his hand so long.

No wonder Zhu Li's innocent, baby-like eyes seemed unstained by any dust, yet seemed to see through the mundane world.

Perhaps because he had been hiding from the world all year round, Zhu Li's looming skin was actually as white and tender as a baby's.

Zhu Li turned sideways slightly and did not receive Wen Xian's gift.Instead, he tilted his head and asked curiously: "You sisters are the only ones on the island? Do you want to come back to Sun Island with us?"

She doesn't need to return the courtesy from the villagers on the island, but for people outside the island, it seems inappropriate not to return the courtesy.

She had never been out of the island and was very curious about these two outsiders.But she is Zhu Si. Master said that the mind should be as calm as water and should not be led away by trivial matters.

Wen Xian pointed to the almost invisible island opposite and asked, "Sun Island is over there. Three months ago, I saw fireworks floating up."

It was the time she saw it at the beach, but she never saw it again.

Zhu Li was not annoyed when he did not receive an answer from Wen Xian. He just nodded and said, "Yes, there was a sacrificial ceremony held on Sun Island three months ago."

"Can you burn people for sacrifice?" Sheng Lian'er said suddenly.

It is said that when worshiping the sea god, river god, etc., the selected person will be tied to the fire and burned to death as a sacrifice.

"presumptuous!"

"nonsense!"

Several scoldings sounded, and the seven people behind Zhu Li glared at Sheng Lian'er.

A maid behind Zhu Li immediately scolded: "Master Poseidon is sacred and cannot be tarnished."

"Where did you come from, little girl? We at Sun Island won't do that kind of unscrupulous thing." The fisherman uncle snorted coldly.

Sheng Lian'er was dumbfounded, but she also knew that she had said the wrong thing, so she quickly backed away and cupped her hands, "Sorry, I was speaking out of turn."

Zhu Li raised his hand to stop the maid behind him from saying anything else, and said gently to Wen Xian and Sheng Lian'er: "A bonfire will be lit during the sacrificial ceremony, so fireworks will be produced."

"My sister is speaking out, and I apologize to you on her behalf." Wen Xian said apologetically, "Do you have any important matters coming to the island this time? If you need help, I can help you."

It's shameful to say that when she heard about the sacrificial ceremony, she and Sheng Lian'er thought together and thought that a living person would be sacrificed.

She really deserves to die, how could she make such malicious speculations?

Wen Xian believed most of what Zhu Li and the others said, but the vigilance in her heart still did not completely dissipate.

Zhu Li shook his head and said: "I just came here to see if the fishermen were trapped on the island and needed help. Now that winter is coming, the sea is not suitable for navigation. Originally, the villagers have stopped going to sea. This time it is an accident. You have to follow us. , Sun Island is much safer than Death Island."

Seeing Wen Xian wearing a pigskin coat, she knew that these two people had the ability to save their lives, and she was not surprised why they survived on the island.

The sound of waves crashing came. Wen Xian looked in the direction of Sun Island and squinted her eyes and said, "No, my brother is on the way to pick me up. I'm afraid my brother won't be able to find his way to Sun Island."

Sun Island is a day's sail away from here, and it would be really uneasy for all eleven people to go there.

Although Sheng Lian'er's words just now aroused public outrage, but when he heard that they refused to leave, the fisherman uncle still kindly reminded: "It snows in the depth of winter and people will freeze to death. Maybe your brother won't be able to come here until spring."
