When he met the Ruan ghost, it was when he heard that the two children were about to be captured and sacrificed to the sea god that he felt compassion for them.
Then he fell into the great formation of thousands of ghosts and soul-eating spirits.
He always thought that the Poseidon Sacrifice was just a random fabrication made up by the ghost and the sea masters, but he never thought that the Poseidon Sacrifice Conference actually existed.
There are dozens of islands in the Liusu Kingdom, with Liusu Island being the largest, so it was named Liusu Kingdom.
Liuying Island is the largest island outside Liusu Island.
There is a group of primitive indigenous people living on Liuying Island, who believe in the sea god.
Every year, a full moon night is selected for the Poseidon Sacrifice Conference.
The Poseidon Sacrifice Conference will also attract indigenous people from other islands in the Liusu Kingdom to participate. They offer sacrifices to the Poseidon to seek the Poseidon’s blessings.
At every sacrificial meeting, ten boys and girls and a hundred heads would be sacrificed, so that Poseidon could feel their prayers and summon them.
"Master, don't you stop the sacrifice of human beings?" Ding Xiaoyi asked Gongyang Quan curiously.
He felt that the sacrificial meeting of human sacrifices was too cruel, and he could not accept that ten boys and girls were sacrificed alive to the God of the Sea.
Although Poseidon is only a legendary existence, he really cannot accept human sacrifice.
He looked at the headless corpse again,
It seems that if you want to find the truth, you must go to Liuying Island.
"There are many islands in the Liusu Kingdom, and the customs of many islands are also different. The worship of the sea god has been going on for thousands of years, and no one has ever doubted it."
“The indigenous people on Liuying Island all believe in the sea
God, they think everything on the island was given by the God of the Sea, so it doesn’t matter if they sacrificed ten boys and girls.”
Gongyang Quan said with a wry smile to Ding Xiaoyi.
Worlds, full of wonders,
The East China Sea is adjacent to the Endless Sea. There are countless islands in this sea, and many inheritances have been left behind.
After Ding Xiaoyi heard Gong Yangquan's explanation, he was helpless.
Sometimes faith is actually a kind of practice.
If he wanted to find out the truth, he had to go to Liuying Island. He wanted to see if the head was Master Liao's.
There were no clues at all on this headless corpse. His real purpose in finding the head was to collect the remaining soul of the corpse.
If this corpse is Master Liao, then there must still be soul left in his head.
His soul-inducing bell can find the remaining soul in the head.
"National Master, will the sacrificial meeting on Liuying Island be held tonight?" Ding Xiaoyi asked Gongyang Quan in a solemn voice.
He doesn't think it's such a coincidence,
He wanted to find the evil cultivator Jiuyou on Xuanxuan Island, but unexpectedly, the Poseidon Sacrifice Conference on Liuying Island was also held tonight.
He felt there must be some connection.
He was troubled by the fact that he could not find the evil cultivator of Jiuyou. Dayong officials were killed again and their heads were used as sacrifices.
"It is held tonight. Do you also want to go to Liuying Island?" Gongyang Quan asked Ding Xiaoyi with a solemn expression.
"That's what I meant." Ding Xiaoyi nodded and replied.
Although Prince Geng didn't know what Ding Xiaoyi really thought, he supported Ding Xiaoyi's decision.
Dongfang Jianchen followed Ding Xiaoyi like a follower, regardless of where Ding Xiaoyi went.
No matter where, he will follow.
So Dongfang Jianchen didn't object, and no one else objected.
Gongyang Quan nodded and said to everyone: "In that case, let me make some arrangements. My master has not participated in the Poseidon Sacrifice Conference for a long time."
"How to deal with this body?" a guard asked Luo Qiang.
Upon hearing the guard's question, Ding Xiaoyi said directly: "Burn this corpse."
Everyone rushed towards the palace. Ding Xiaoyi did not follow the Imperial Master and others back to the post house. Instead, he took Dongfang Jianchen to Xuanyuezhuang.
"Ah, Messenger Ding, you came just in time to see it. These are the priests sent by Liuying Island. They said that there will be a Poseidon sacrificial meeting tonight, so I want to go and watch."
As soon as Ding Xiaoyi arrived at Xuanyuezhuang, Tan Tianya led two gray-haired old men to introduce him to Ding Xiaoyi.
"Are you two priests from Liuying Island?" Ding Xiaoyi looked at the two old men wearing linen clothes curiously.
Their skin was bronzed, and the wrinkles on their faces were as full of vicissitudes of life as the ravines.
The two Liuying Island priests looked at Tan Tianya in confusion, with confusion on their faces.
"Oh, they rarely communicate with others and can only understand the indigenous dialect of Liuying Island."
Tan Tianya slapped his forehead and apologized to Ding Xiaoyi.
Only then did Ding Xiaoyi realize that the two priests did not understand what he said.
then,
Tan Tianya chattered a few words to the two old men who had gone through many vicissitudes of life, and then the two old men who had gone through many vicissitudes of life nodded to Ding Xiaoyi.
"Guji...",
The two priests said a few more words to Ding Xiaoyi, but Ding Xiaoyi couldn't understand a word. He looked at Tan Tianya in confusion.
.
"They mean that you are distinguished guests from Cangxuan Continent, and they also invite you to attend the ceremony. The spectators can also receive the blessing of the Poseidon."
Tan Tianya explained to Ding Xiaoyi.
"Then tell them that you will definitely go next time." Ding Xiaoyi replied to Tan Tianya.
Tan Tianya translated Ding Xiaoyi's words to the two vicissitudes of life old men, and the faces of the two vicissitudes of life old men showed a look of joy.
Afterwards, they left Xuanyuezhuang.
They also wanted to invite King Liusu to come and watch the ceremony. The king basically went to watch every Poseidon sacrifice, and this time was no exception.
Ding Xiaoyi looked at the two departing figures, his eyes flickering.
"I originally wanted to entertain Messenger Ding tonight. There is a Poseidon Sacrifice Conference held on Liuying Island. It looks like we are going to Liuying Island."
Tan Tianya said helplessly to Ding Xiaoyi. At this moment, Dongfang Jianchen, who was behind Ding Xiaoyi, saluted the white-bearded old man.
"Nephew Dongfang, you don't have to be polite, your father will also go to Liuying Island together." Tan Tianya waved his hand to Dongfang Jianchen, and he said to Dongfang Jianchen.
"Is Envoy Ding going to Liuying Island with Laowan or with your delegation?" Tan Tianya asked Ding Xiaoyi again.
"Whatever, let's go with the old gentleman. The Dayong envoy will go with the king."
Ding Xiaoyi didn't care, he wasn't going to Liuying Island with whom he was going.
"In that case, let me go and make preparations. You can do whatever you want." Tan Tianya said to Ding Xiaoyi again.
After saying that, he called a fair-skinned mermaid spirit to receive Ding Xiaoyi and Dongfang Jianchen, and he left in a hurry.
Good morning Dongfang Jian
He looked at the mermaid with a skin as white as snow in surprise. The mermaid also looked at Ding Xiaoyi and Dongfang Jianchen curiously with a pair of big watery eyes.
Ding Xiaoyi walked straight towards the promenade by the seaside,
He walked on the seaside promenade, and the sound of his sonorous and powerful footsteps came from the solid wood under his feet.
Dongfang Jianchen and the mermaid spirit followed behind him.
Waves of waves hit the shore above the sea, and there was a layer of restrictions on the promenade to isolate the waves.
Night falls quietly,
And the full moon like a silver plate slowly rose from the east, and the huge waves on the sea level became bigger and bigger.
There was a dazzling fire in the distance.
Tan Tianya arranged a light boat, and Ding Xiaoyi and Dongfang Jianchen jumped onto the boat.
In addition to Tan Tianya, there is another servant, a dark-skinned indigenous man.
The native didn't have any aura of cultivation. Ding Xiaoyi and Tan Tianya were sitting in the boat drinking and talking.
From Tan Tianya's conversation, I learned that the Poseidon sacrifice has been going on for thousands of years.
Poseidon seems to exist in this endless sea.
But no one has ever seen the real Poseidon.
There are rumors that the sea god haunts the endless sea.
Every sacrifice will pray for the blessing of Poseidon, and this sea area is controlled by Poseidon.
After hearing Tan Tianya's narration, Ding Xiaoyi shook his head helplessly.
It is not certain whether Poseidon exists or not.
He really didn't know if there was a god in this world.
If there is a god, then it should be a peerless and powerful person whose cultivation has transcended this world.
However, the endless sea is mysterious and unpredictable, and he doesn't know much about the sea world.
in that sea
There should also be sea monsters who have reached the sky in the depths of the domain world. Maybe it is not necessarily that the sea monster who has reached the sky has been beautified into a sea god.
From Tan Tianya's narration, we learned that sometimes the Poseidon would appear during the sacrificial gatherings, but most of the time he never did.
Over the years, Poseidon has rarely appeared.
At the annual Poseidon Sacrifice Conference, Poseidon seems to have never appeared.
"Old sir, is there really a god in this sea?" Ding Xiaoyi asked Tan Tianya curiously.
He felt that God was just a peerless almighty whose cultivation had transcended the shackles of this world.
It cannot be called a real god at all,
He has seen strong men from outside the territory,
For example, the God of Death returns to the King of Hell,
and the Star Devourer,
When they appear in this world, they will still be restricted by the laws of heaven and earth.
Although their strength reaches the sky and comes from the outer starry sky, their strength is still more or less limited.
"Perhaps, the vastness of the sea is far beyond what ordinary practitioners like us can understand. There are also mysterious practitioners in this mysterious sea."
"They are powerful, but they rarely appear in the eyes of the world." Tan Tianya had a melancholy look on his face, and he replied to Ding Xiaoyi.
the depth of the sea,
The vastness of the sea,
It's all an unknown mystery.
Even the sea monster cannot see the entire sea area.
Ding Xiaoyi also deeply agrees with this.
"Sir, we're almost there",
The servant who rowed the boat said to Tan Tianya in a loud voice.
Ding Xiaoyi then looked forward, and he saw countless figures appearing on an island in front of him.
They held torches high in their hands and were stirring happily.
Liu
Ying Island is only more than ten nautical miles away from Liusu Island. In less than an hour, they were close to Liuying Island.
Fortunately, the sea was relatively calm at this time and no storm was coming.
