Chapter 680

Baicang River, Biyue Bay.

So it's called Biyue Bay because the baicang river is turning a big bend, and the river water is pounding out a piece of fertile land at the turning.

The shape of this land is like a crescent. It was originally covered with green Artemisia. From a distance, it was green. This is called Biyue Bay.

With more and more impact silt, Biyue Bay becomes larger and larger. The land here is fertile and attracts a large number of people.

In less than 200 years, more than 100000 people have gathered in Biyue bay to form Biyue township.

This name sounds very elegant. In fact, the residents are all grain farmers.

However, if you live by the baicang River, you must worship the king of golden scales.

On the third of March every year, on the birthday of King Jin scale, five pairs of boy and girl are presented.

At the beginning, the farmers in biyuewan were not willing to. In that year, it was flooded. Not only did it fail to grow grain, but also hundreds of people were drowned. Because of the lack of food, more than 1000 people starved to death that year.

After this lesson, the farmers in biyuewan have learned to be smart. They offer sacrifices on the 15th day of each month and prepare five pairs of boys and girls for their birthday.

Not only Biyue Bay, but also the large-scale rural market towns on both sides of the baicang River have to be offered to King Jinlin.

There are witches in every rural market town who can communicate with King Jin scale and convey his will.

This kind of witch has a very high position in the people, and no one dares to provoke her.

King Jin scale has a great influence on both sides of the baicang River, which is far more than that of the government.

No one here dares to speak ill of King Jin scale, and no one dares to disobey his orders.

For hundreds of years, offering sacrifices to the king of golden scales has become a tradition. On the third day of March, there will even be a lively sacrificial ceremony.

Beating gongs and drums, looking for theatrical troupes to perform, and people setting up stalls to sell all kinds of small items and snacks are even more lively than the Chinese New Year.

As for the sacrifice of the ten boys and girls, no one cared except their families.

On the third day of March this year, Biyue bay also held the celebration of King Jin scale's birthday as usual.

Close to the riverside, a large shed was built, in which there was a statue of the king of golden scales.

The frame of the statue is made of bamboo, with colored paper and gold foil pasted on the outside. It looks glittering and powerful.

There is a long wooden confession in front of the statue. Because it has been used for many years, the confession is made of incense ash and black marks burned by carbon fire.

In addition, there are pig's head, cow's head, sheep's head, various cakes, preserves and other offerings.

Tens of thousands of people knelt down in front of the statue and kowtowed to chant prayers under the command of the witch.

So many people can not be very neat, the scene looks messy, that is, a small group of people in front can barely keep up with the witch's command.

On the side of the confession, ten boys and girls were placed in closed bamboo cages.

These children are only five or six years old, and most of them are not very sensible. It's just that there are so many people in front of us, beating gongs and drums in a mess. Do they have any familiar relatives around them? They are so scared that many children are crying.

In addition to hiding in the side of the children, relatives in silent tears, this time, no one cares about the lives of a few children.

"That's all."

The witch gave a shrill howl, and the squires in front of them all stood up, with a relaxed look on their faces.

Kneeling, kowtowing, reciting prayers, people do not dare to be too lazy, they should try to be more serious. For the gentry, the sun knelt down for a long time, and his sweat came out.

After that, the people all got up, and a group of people were looking forward. Although most people can see the statues, the rest can only see the back of other people's heads.

The witch in five colors is very excited. Every year, this day is the time when she shows her face most.

Everyone must kneel at her feet and listen to her command. Her thin, skinny face showed a proud smile, and her old eyes were shining with drooping eyelids.

The witch pretended to read a lot of incantations that no one could understand, which was actually made up by herself.

Only king Jin scale is particularly dissatisfied or satisfied, will he take the initiative to contact her. The witch can't contact the king of golden scales. But that doesn't stop her from acting.

A few old squires were not stupid. They all saw that the witch was playing tricks. The problem is that the old woman can really get in touch with King Jin scale. She can't help pretending.

The witch danced in front of the incense table for a while, satisfying her strong desire for expression.

She looked up at the sun in the sky. It was close to noon. Then she ordered: "the time has come to offer sacrifices to King Jinlin."

Next to him, a few strong men came and poured the offerings into the river.

Then the strong men came to the boys and girls. They grabbed the bamboo cage and prepared to throw it into the river. When the people under the stage saw this scene, they screamed one after another.

In fact, they can see this scene every year. This call is not so much shock as excitement.In their simple idea, it's a good deal to sacrifice a few children in exchange for a year's good weather.

Therefore, most people regard it as a good thing, a lively and interesting thing.

Just as several big men were about to throw their children away, a clear light fell from the sky. Gao Xuan came out of the light.

He said to some big men, "stop it."

Several big men all looked at Gao Xuan, with some awe in their eyes. Come down from the sky, the immortal?

The main reason is that Gao Xuan is handsome and uncoupled, and has an incomparable bearing. The deep yellow and fine linen robe is elegant, which has the immortal style of transcendence.

The witch was also startled, and a meddler came out of nowhere. It looks like it's not easy to get into.

The witch bravely asked, "who are you?"

"Gao Xuan, the Heavenly Master of Wuyuan state." Gao Xuan's voice was deep and clear, but it spread everywhere.

Tens of thousands of people were in a mess, but they all heard Gao Xuan's words clearly.

People were still discussing Gao Xuan's identity, but no one spoke at the meeting.

Although these people are all peasants at the bottom, illiterate and illiterate, they do not lack survival wisdom. Only by looking at Gao Xuan's skill, we can see that the other side is powerful. They don't dare to be presumptuous.

As for what the Heavenly Master does, they don't really understand.

Tens of thousands of people did not speak, and the scene was quiet. I dare not move when I play gongs and drums.

In fact, witches don't know what the Heavenly Master does. However, the birthday celebration of King Jin scale should not be destroyed.

"No matter who you are, you can't ruin the celebration," she said with an unhappy face. This concerns the life and death of more than 100000 people in Biyue Bay. "

She also said to many old gentry people in front of her: "you still watch. Speak quickly. The king of golden scales is so angry that we all have to die. "

Many of the old gentry are embarrassed. A few of them read and read, and they have a little insight. At least we know what the master of heaven does.

It's just that at this time, we have to come out.

A group of people winked at each other. Cai Changshui, the head of the family, had to stand up. He was the head of the Cai family and the elder of the biyuewan squire.

Because there are more than 10000 people in the Cai family. The most powerful. So he was the squire's boss.

When Cai Changshui came up, he bowed deeply to Gao Xuan: "Heavenly Master, celebration is our tradition. Please don't worry about it

Some people took the lead, others also rushed up, "yes, Lord Tianshi, we also have no way."

"It's all for the people of Biyue Bay..."

"We can't live without that."

The more you speak, the louder your voice is, and the more powerful your voice is.

Gao Xuan wanted to sigh. When sacrifice became a tradition, everything became natural.

He pointed to the crying boys and girls in the bamboo cage: "exchange the lives of these children for your safety?"

Cai Changshui was a little embarrassed, though he didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Can be pointed out face to face, after all, or a little embarrassed.

He thought about it and explained, "master, we are also forced to be helpless."

Gao Xuan asked: "helpless, why don't your children come out to sacrifice."

Cai Changshui's face became very ugly. He almost scolded him, but he still suppressed his anger and said, "it's decided by lot to sacrifice any child. There is no favoritism. "

Gao Xuan sneers, this kind of trick also deceives the ignorant villagers. And there's no need to argue about it.

"No matter what traditions you have, from today on, you can't sacrifice King Jin scale in any way," he said

As soon as this remark came out, people's faces changed greatly. Cai Changshui knelt down first. He wanted to cry, but he couldn't do it for a moment. He could only howl: "master, never, never..."

Seeing this, they all knelt down and cried around Gao Xuan.

The witch pointed at Gao Xuan and yelled: "dare to fight against King Jinlin, your time is up..."

The witch said a cruel word, she didn't have the courage to fight with Gao Xuan. She turned her old eyes and saw a group of people coming up with ideas.

She yelled: "this man wants to stop us from sacrificing to King Jinlin. Come on, big guy..."

This sentence is too bad for the common people and villagers to listen to. The celebrations they painstakingly held were stopped.

How can they live if they offend King Jin scale.

A word from the witch stirred everyone up, and a group of people rushed to Gao Xuan. The scene was out of control.

"Sure."

Gao Xuan vomited a Dharma curse, and everyone was fixed in the same place.

Tens of thousands of people have become solidified statues, and many people lost their balance and fell into a large area on the spot.

There were so many people present that only the witch was not settled.

The witch stupidly looked at the tens of thousands of people who were fixed, and she was scared. What kind of magic power is this?

Just when the witch didn't know what to do, another rainbow light fell from the sky, and an old Taoist in black and white robes appeared out of thin air. This old way is the National Teacher Tao Jun.Tao Jun saluted Gao Xuanji: "Heavenly Master, why do you have to be like this?"

Gao Xuan said calmly: "since I'm the master of heaven, it's my duty to kill demons and demons."

Tao Jun said with a bitter smile: "King Jin scale was born in Beihai dragon palace
