Yuanshen: Liyuegang Storyteller, Walnut Tears

Relying on demon gods or giant beasts, avoiding robbers from the sea, resisting ferocious beasts from the sea, and surviving in the chaotic Land of Daozuma.

Before believing in Thunderbird, people believed in a demon god who fled here.

According to the requirements of the Demon God, every few years, the blood of living people must be sacrificed to the Demon God.

At the price of a living young girl, she sought the protection of the demon god.

When hundreds of years ago.

Thunderbird's huge body landed on Heguan Island, after defeating the Demon God with great strength.

After that battle, people did not mourn the death of the demon god, but immediately believed in Thunderbird.

Think of Thunderbird as a patron saint.

Just like offering sacrifices to the Demon God, people here will sacrifice the blood of living people to Thunderbird every few years.

At the cost of a living boy or girl, seek the protection of Thunderbird.

Though the Thunderbirds never paid attention to humans.

No human sacrifices were required!

There is no requirement for humans to kneel down.

Even, never had any communication with humans.

but! '

The people on the island just think that the patron saint is noble, and have never had any dissatisfaction with the patron saint.

Not only that!

With the satisfaction of the mysterious things falling from Thunderbird, the fog enveloped the entire Heguan Island, bringing peace and tranquility to Heguan Island.

People's belief in Thunderbird has become stronger.

In order to express my gratitude to Lord Thunderbird.

Under the orders of the tribal high priest, preparations for a new round of sacrifices have already begun.

Follow the old rules!

The living people who offer sacrifices to the patron saint must be the purest boys or girls.

Only then can the Lord Patronus be satisfied!

Only in this way can he please the Lord Patronus and gain the protection of the Lord Patronus.

and so!

After starting to prepare for the sacrifice.

The high priest immediately summoned all the teenagers and girls in the tribe, and will choose a lucky one from these people to sacrifice to the patron saint.

even--

Even Aru, the son of the high priest, was summoned together with his father.

Watching hundreds of teenagers and girls crowding the square.

A Ru looked at her father who was the high priest, and asked suspiciously: "Father, does the patron saint really like us?"

The father who was the high priest smiled and looked at his son: "Silly boy, of course the Lord Patronus likes you—otherwise, he wouldn't be guarding this island anymore!"

Thunderbird, regarded as the patron saint, has never said that he likes the blood of living people.

but!

Because the last demon god liked human blood, everyone naively thought that the guardian god Thunderbird also liked the blood of living people.

So, according to the method of offering sacrifices to the demon god, sacrifices were made to Thunderbird!

The young Ah Ru was a little scared: "If you are chosen to be a sacrifice, will you die?"

The father, who is the high priest, hesitated for a moment and said: "Silly boy, it's not about dying, but becoming a part of the patron saint, and will be with the patron saint forever!"

The young Ah Ru's gaze gradually became firm: "My child understands!"

Although the boy Ru overcame his fear.

But—the selection of sacrifices is not something that can be decided by Ru, nor can it be decided by Ru's father.

But through special rituals.

Choose the lucky one from hundreds of teenagers and girls.

Because of the belief in Thunderbird!

Among the hundreds of boys and girls, there are many who have overcome the fear of sacrifice and are not afraid of being chosen.

Even the sacrifice is regarded as a kind of glory.

But—there are also quite a few teenagers and girls who are trembling non-stop.

Fear of being chosen!

Fear of death!

Under the orders of Aru's father, the high priest.

After layers of selection, people finally selected a young girl to be the sacrifice for this sacrifice.

The moment the screening results come out.

The high priest breathed a sigh of relief, it's great, his son A Ru was not selected.

When that timid girl knew that she had been chosen and would sacrifice to Lord Patronus in a few days.

Timid little girl.

She was frightened and cried: "Mother, I don't want to die, I don't want to be a sacrifice—"

The little girl was crying sadly!

I want to fight against the customs of the entire tribe with a small force.

But it's a pity.

How could a little girl be able to resist the will of the entire tribe.

No matter how panicked she is, how afraid she is.

Three days later, they will all be executed in a blood sacrifice ceremony and sacrificed to the great patron saint.

In the square!

Looking at the little girl who was frightened and crying.

Many teenagers and girls who were afraid of becoming sacrifices also breathed a sigh of relief.

Great, they weren't selected!

Among the many boys and girls, the young Ah Ru looked at the frightened, crying little girl who was taken away by the adults.

The mood is very complicated!

He knew in his heart that the little girl was about to die after being sacrificed to the patron saint.

but--

If you don't offer sacrifices to the patron saint, if the patron saint gets angry, the whole tribe may suffer.

So the young Ah Ru could only keep silent with a heavy heart.

After the selection of sacrifices is over!

The selected sacrifices were imprisoned by the adults, and a sacrificial ceremony was held three days later.

And the young Aru!

With a complicated mood, he came to the vast wilderness.

Before the mist covered the island, this wilderness was a land of flowers, and it was Ru's favorite place.

As long as he has time, he will come here to play.

Run alone.

Singing alone.

Sing free!

Sing to the great patron saint!

Ever since the patron saint lowered the fog to protect the entire island.

The wilderness where the flowers were originally blooming was shrouded in mist.

Only when you get close can you see the small flowers growing on the ground, which makes Ah Ru feel much better immediately.

then!

Aru is just like it used to be!

Facing the fog ahead, towards the direction of the wilderness.

With a relaxed and melodious voice, he sang about the patron saint and about freedom.

If it was normal, Ah Ru would have left after singing the song.

But today is different!

When Ah Ru sang loudly, no one noticed.

Thunderbird, regarded as the patron saint by the people on the island, has flown back from Qinglai Island, just passing right above Heguan Island.

Prepare as always.

Swinging the wings that flashed with thunder, it landed on Mount Kana on the side of the island.

but!

Just when Thunderbird waved its wings and was about to land on Mount Kana.

A melodious singing voice was suddenly surrounded by the mist and wafted to Thunderbird's ears.

If it was before, Thunderbird would not have paid attention to human voices.
