God Killer

Zheng Xian once again hid back to the area where the third-class officials lived in the north of the city. In Zheng Xian's view, a lot of manpower was needed to search for him, and those officials would definitely come out in full force and put all their energy on In the chaotic area in the south of the city.

And for anyone, the most trusted place is often their own home, so when searching their home, they will more or less take it too seriously, especially among colleagues, it is even more difficult to check carefully. The officialdom is full of complicated interpersonal relationships. If you check other people's checks so fiercely, seriously, and carefully, are you not afraid of others wearing small shoes for you?

After such a calculation, hiding in this area where officials live is indeed a correct choice.

However, Zheng Xian didn't know that the first wave of people who came to him were not those officials, but a group of real palace ghost children!

Although Zheng Xian spent some time in the city, he basically didn't find out anything about the supernatural powers of the disciples of the Earth Sect. After all, the mortals in the city only know that the immortals of the Earth have infinite spells. You ask them to tell you why. When they came, they were all caught blind, either talking nonsense or faltering.

Therefore, Zheng Xian didn't know much about the cultivation methods of the Earth Immortal Sect and the ghost babies in the real palace.

Zheng Xian went back to Gao Yue's house familiarly, and hid himself on the beam of the kitchen.

Gao Yue's girl was locked at home, her parents and even the whole city went to the dream return ceremony, and she was the only one who couldn't see anyone.

In the annual Hehe Ceremony, a thousand virgins would be sacrificed to the gods of the Land Gate, and eventually they would become reproductive tools. They would die after being pregnant for ten months, which can be described as a tragic end.

This kind of sacrifice is always filled with the daughters of third-class people and fourth-class slaves. The officials who handle this will not send their daughters out. This is almost a generally accepted rule. .

But there are one or two exceptions every year. If the daughter of the official family is caught by the immortals, then nothing can be said. Even those first-class slaves have to obediently send their daughters to the land. immortal.

Therefore, whenever it comes to the Dreaming Ceremony or the Hehe Ceremony, the officials hide their unmarried daughters, not only at these two times, but even at ordinary times, they hide them tightly, and they don’t leave the door. Don't step forward, the privileges of the officials still exist without anyone noticing. Even if the first-class slaves know about it, they will turn a blind eye and close their eyes until the daughter of the official's family gets married. , naturally it’s okay, the gods only like virgins who have reached childbearing age.

The third-class commoners and fourth-class slaves who have a little money are often frowning once they give birth to a daughter. The officials who are so desperate know who has a daughter, especially those rich and big families, they will get it early. Prepare to give money, and wait for the officials to come to blackmail, asking for money and money and things.

On the contrary, among those small households, many of them are very happy after giving birth to their daughters, because after donating their daughters, the immortals of the Earth Gate will give a gift in return. Of course, this is what the common people say, and the immortals of the Earth Gate must definitely I don't think it's a bride price, it's just a group of reproductive tools, and it has nothing to do with marriage.

The reason for this betrothal gift is that the gods of the land gate will strangle all the people to death if they don't ask the common people to give birth to their daughters, so such a rule was established.

This betrothal gift is enough to consume ten years of ordinary family life. As a result, some people who are indifferent by nature, desperately trying to have children, just look forward to having daughters. If they give birth to ten or eight daughters at once, It's a good thing to die happily, after all, you will find something in this lifetime.

They even had to find ways to bribe the officials so that they could send their daughters to the Hehe Ceremony.

It is precisely because of this condition that the population of Xuantian City has not collapsed. Otherwise, the daughter will be raised for nothing after birth anyway. Wouldn't it save a lot of food if she just strangled her to death?At that time, the city will be full of old men and bachelors everywhere, and this Xuantian City will be completely ruined. After all, for a city, the most important thing is the population.

This is also the only favor that the land gods have given to mortals.Of course, if this is considered a favor.

Gao Pinger was extremely bored locked at home. After reading the book for a while, she felt more and more boring. Then she moved a ladder and put it on the wall. She didn't want to escape, she didn't have the courage to disobey her parents In addition, Gao Pinger didn't dare to run out. Although Gao Pinger liked to join in the fun, she was always very timid.

Gao Pinger was about to climb up the ladder, and looked over the square to see if she could see the excitement, so that she would see the excitement again without violating her parents' orders, so why not?

However, she had just climbed up the wall, and before she poked her head out of the wall, she suddenly heard the roar of 'kill him, and make a pile of people'.

This was the roar of 10,000+ people at the same time. This sound scared Gao Pinger immediately, and Gao Pinger almost fell off the ladder.

Gao Ping'er was so frightened that she immediately ran down from the wall, never daring to go up the wall again.

The tsunami-like sound made the walls tremble, Gao Ping'er was terrified, and hurried back into the house, but there was still nowhere to escape, even dust was falling on the beams in the house.

Gao Pinger was the kind who was hugged and raised by her parents since she was a child. Although Gao Yue was often not at home, Gao Pinger was always accompanied by her mother. There were strange noises everywhere, and 16-year-old Gao Pinger was of course terrified. She was so frightened that she almost called her mother.

The killing intent hidden in that voice made Gao Ping'er feel extremely panicked.

Fortunately, the sound stopped suddenly after a while, and Gao Pinger, who was about to get under the table, held the corner of the table tightly with both hands, her big eyes flickered, and the inside was full of frightened little rabbits. Only the look of horror.

Because of being a virgin, Gao Yue has not let her daughter go out these few years. Even if she goes out, she has to cover her face tightly. Ping'er is a beauty, if she falls into the eyes of a certain fairy, it will be terrible So, Pinger is just a little girl who has never experienced anything in the world, and she is very timid.

Girls from other people's families, as long as they don't want to contribute to the land gods, usually get married at the age of 14 or even earlier. Gao Yue relied on his status as an official, and it was not his turn to send his daughter to contribute. So the delay in her daughter's marriage for two years was not because Gao Yue didn't want her daughter to marry, but because she was not satisfied after looking for three or four daughters. Get closer for a few more years, after all, once the daughter gets married, she will not lose to their family, and when the time comes to return to the empty house, it will be really depressing.The wife is lonely without a companion.

So Gao Yue didn't push too much, but this year Gao Yue always felt that he couldn't make it through, so he made up his mind to find a good husband's family for Ping'er this year.

Zheng first glanced at the little girl, then entered Gao's kitchen, unfolded the scroll and put it on his body, and disappeared without a trace.

"No one is allowed to leave here, and any living things in the city will be killed along the way.
