Chapter 890 Sea Festival
Haisheng Village.
This is a coastal village that can be seen everywhere in Minhai County. Every household makes a living by fishing, and fishing nets are often hung to dry at the door.
night.
Amidst the whistling wind, a little girl stumbled out of the village and hid in a gap on the coast.
Not long after, commotion began in the village.
Groups of fishermen holding torches and looking crazy began to search their surroundings.
“The sea is where everything ends!”
"The great father of the sea needs sacrifices!"
"Present sacrifices, and the Father of the Ocean will give us fish and gold..."
…
Yingzi's eyes were filled with tears of fear, and she covered her mouth desperately.
She didn't know why everything turned out like this.
She originally had a very harmonious family, with healthy parents and a brother who loved her very much.
But once he went to sea, his brother never came back.
And since then, everything seems to have changed.
First of all, my father kept sighing, saying that the court's taxes were getting heavier and heavier.
Then one sunny day, my father and several uncles decided to venture out to sea to catch some precious seafood in the deep sea - Mr. Liu from the government said that these could be offset against taxes.
Then, there was another long wait.
On a thunderstorm night, only the second uncle came back and said that a whole boat of people had been shipwrecked and he was the only one who survived.
For the fishermen, the moment they went to sea, they just put their heads in their waistbands. Apart from some crying, they calmly accepted this reality.
but……
From that day on, the fishing village became very strange.
First, the second uncle kept lobbying some people, and then everyone became very fanatical...
That was a... very strange state.
Recently, this fanaticism has reached its peak, and they have even begun to form their own religious groups and hold some suspicious sacrificial activities at night.
The unbelievers in the village, as well as the women... disappeared one after another.
Finally, the second uncle set his sights on himself...
Memories passed by like a fleeting glance, and tears blurred Yingzi's face.
…
On the beach, a bonfire has been lit.
“The Father of the Sea is merciful and is our destination!”
A middle-aged man wearing a fisherman's attire with a fanatical face announced loudly: "How much you sacrifice to him, he will give back to you..."
"Bring the replacement sacrifice!"
Along with the sound of words, a struggling little girl was sent to the middle-aged man.
"One Qi Hunyuan, before the sky!"
The man kept chanting a strange mantra: "It descends into the sea, it is the mysterious female! The vast ocean is the root of heaven and earth!"
"One Qi Hunyuan, before the sky!"
The believers gathered together chanted the same, and their voices were vague and layered... mixed with the sound of the waves of the sea, becoming more and more weird.
Wow!
The sea at night was rippled, as if there was a shadow lurking on the bottom of the sea.
"Send a sacrifice!"
The middle-aged man announced loudly, and immediately fishermen brought the tied boats to the shore.
This kind of ship is a specially-made sea-sinking ship. It is guaranteed to fall apart after sailing for a while, and the people on it will be buried in the sea.
"Great Father of the Ocean, please accept our tribute."
The middle-aged man looked enthusiastic as he put the little girl on the boat and was about to push her into the sea.
"I really can't stand it..."
At this moment, a scolding voice suddenly came from the side.
A female cultivator in red appeared with evil eyes: "You ignorant villagers actually believe in evil gods and sacrifice human beings...Have you forgotten that she is also a relative of yours?"
"Outsiders?"
The middle-aged man sniffed the sea breeze, and a strange expression appeared on his face: "I also smell the smell of the sea on you... Why do you want to stop us?"
"I, Cen Hongyue, am not the same type of person as you!"
Cen Hongyue said sternly: "I only use magic, but I will not be controlled by those behind the scenes and lose my mind..."
This female cultivator turned out to be Cen Hongyue, whom Zhong Shenxiu had inspired casually when she was in Wangyuefang City.
However, at this time, her cultivation level was already extraordinary, and she was faintly touching the threshold of a great monk. Even in the world of cultivation, she was not considered weak.
He even single-handedly wiped out the "Wu Tong Sect" and earned the nickname "The Dangerous Fairy" in the spiritual world.
She practices [Jingtao Secret Sword] and [Doumu Yuanjing], so she has been practicing at the beach. Today, she suddenly came to this village on a whim, and she didn't expect to see this.
"No... you should understand how great the Father of the Ocean is!" The middle-aged man's voice became increasingly blurry, and scales began to grow on his body, and even his head became deformed and twisted: "You... have a... With the beauty of motherhood, I believe Father Ocean will like you more!"
Before he finished speaking, the mermaid monster he transformed into had already pounced forward.
"act recklessly!"
Cen Hongyue snorted coldly, opened her little cherry mouth, and a black line flew out and passed over the monster's head.
boom!
The huge monster ran forward a few more steps before its huge head fell down and smelly blood flowed out.
"ah!"
A female believer's high-pitched scream tore through the stagnant air.
Some fishermen fled from here screaming as if they were waking up from a dream.
The other fishermen roared and began to transform into smaller mermaid monsters.
"[Jingtao Secret Sword], go!"
Cen Hongyue made a sword trick with her hand, and with a flying sword, she killed seven of them and seven of them came out among the weirdos.
When she sheathed her sword and stood up, there were no standing monsters around.
Speaking of which, these monsters are also unlucky.
They were originally just ordinary people with shallow spirituality. Later, they went to the deep sea and were inspired by a powerful demon.
But this is just a little bit of aura pollution. Their bodies after the mutation may be powerful enough to be incomprehensible to ordinary people, but to monks, it is nothing at all.
Moreover, some of her own natural talents, such as using gibbering to interfere with normal people's thinking... Cen Hongyue is not afraid of this.
"Little sister, don't be afraid, it's okay."
Cen Hongyue rescued the little girl as a sacrifice, and suddenly looked at the cliff next to the beach.
There seemed to be a little girl hiding there, but she was smart and had already moved closer to her.
At this moment, she involuntarily raised her head and looked at the bright moon in the night sky.
There seemed to be something strange about the moon tonight. Something was very wrong before, which made her come to this village on a whim.
But this time, Cen Hongyue was even more distracted when she saw the moon.
She seemed to...see that eye again.
"I practiced [Jingtao Secret Sword], but I didn't receive too strong inspiration and pollution... Apparently it's because of [Doumu Yuanjing]... Doumu, Doumu... Could it be related to the stars?"
Cen Hongyue had a particularly bad premonition. Although she stepped out of the trap of the [Jingtao Secret Sword], she seemed to have fallen into a bigger trap.
But at this time, there was no choice.
She looked at the two little girls and asked softly: "You...are you willing to be my disciples?"
