There are many old people in the village. This is not the first time for them to participate in this kind of sacrifice, but today, it is the first time that the Dragon God takes the initiative to speak.
This is God's will. How dare they, mere mortals, disobey it?
"what to do?
The Dragon God speaks, what should we do?"
"But there are no teenage girls in our village except Alan.
Are we going to sacrifice our children?”
"No, they have come to this world and haven't enjoyed it for a few years yet. Shouldn't we just let them die?"
A quarrel suddenly broke out in the field.
The most fierce opposition was naturally the mountain that appeared in front of the hut.
Tianqi calls him uncle.
"That's enough! This God is not here to listen to your quarrels. I don't have time to listen to your noises here. I will give you ten breaths. If there is no candidate, don't blame this God for his anger.
The Dragon God roared impatiently.
But so far, it has only made sounds, and its body has been immersed in the river and has not appeared.
Everyone fell silent.
Great fear immediately enveloped them. For them, there was nothing more terrifying than the wrath of the gods.
"Dragon God, calm down, we'll go find him right now."
"Yes, as long as the Dragon God can protect us, no matter how many sacrifices we make, it will be worth it."
"Let's do it now!"
The villagers in Tianren Village were so frightened that they did not dare to refute.
But when it comes to doing it, everyone has a touch of sadness in their eyes.
"I'll go ahead. If you want to hate that boy Tianqi, then hate me."
Dashan walked out from the crowd.
Everyone was silent, many people had silent sorrow on their faces, and some women even started sobbing softly.
But they have no choice, they have no right to choose, they can only obey.
"Sister Alan, I'll take you away. We don't want to sacrifice to any dragon god.
My brother said that if you sacrifice to the Dragon God, you will die, and I don’t want you to die!"
At this moment, Tian Xin's small figure came over and grabbed Alan's clothes, but his eyes were firm.
Dashan, who was about to go looking for Tianxin, stopped for a moment. Hearing Tianxin's childish words, his eyes suddenly turned red.
They all know it.
Sacrifice is death! What glory and blessing are just what they made up to deceive themselves.
Click, click, click! The iron man burst into tears, while everyone else was stunned. Their expressions changed from sad to shocked, to complicated, to panic.
This seemed to be a shame that everyone had deliberately concealed in their hearts, but now Tianxin's words ripped open their last fig leaf.
Humiliation was written on everyone's faces.
No matter what their reasons are, they cannot hide their selfishness.
Be it sacrifices or blessings, they are just using the name of gods to cover up the guilt in their hearts.
Whose life is not life?
There was absolutely no sound in the place, especially the few people who had brought the people there who had clamored to go, now looked even more ashamed to death.
"Careful, what are you doing here?
You go quickly."
At this time, Alan pushed Tian Xin away suddenly.
"Sister Alan, I won't leave, I will take you away."
Tianxin is extremely determined, and his eyes are extremely firm.
"Obey, get out of here quickly, this is not the place you should be."
Alan's eyes were full of panic.
Now the Dragon God has just spoken, and there are not enough sacrifices. Now that Tianxin appears here, it is no different than sending him to death.
"Walk?
Where to go.
I like this top-notch god very much. The body of dirt is just right for me.
Come, my devout believers, offer these two sacrifices to this god, and I will ensure that you have no worries for ten years."
The voice of the Dragon God appeared again, and his voice was full of bewilderment.
The expressions of the villagers in the field changed.
The sacrifice is held once every three years. This is a legalistic rule, and the rules have never been broken.
After each sacrifice, they will be protected from disasters for three years.
But now it has been ten years since the Dragon God opened his mouth, which made their hearts move, and their eyes also turned to Xiao Tianxin.
But Xiao Tianxin didn't feel anything. Her eyes were calm and she was not aware of the gazes around her at all.
"No, Lord Dragon God.
Tianxin is not yet ten years old, I can do the sacrifice myself, please, please let Tianxin go."
Alan knelt down and begged frantically for mercy.
"You dare to disobey God's will?"
The Dragon God's voice was furious, as if he was extremely dissatisfied with Alan's voice at this time.
"Lord Dragon God, calm down, Alan is just confused for a moment."
"Yes, Lord Dragon God, we will sacrifice the two of them according to your will."
"Lord Dragon God, please forgive us."
All the villagers spoke one after another, with pleading in their eyes, humble and pitiful.
Then, they looked at Alan and Tianxin.
"Alan, don't blame us.
It’s all for Tianren Village.”
"Yes, we know this is unfair to you, but there is nothing we can do about it.
This is a high-altitude god. Without God’s blessing, our entire Tianren Village will suffer.”
Figures began to approach Alan and Tian Xin one by one. Underneath their kind and somewhat guilty expressions, they showed their teeth and claws, and their faces were ferocious.
They spoke sad words but acted like executioners.
Some of the villagers who did not move had complicated eyes at this time, as if they were in a dilemma.
Like a mountain! He was extremely angry at this time, and his veins were bulging.
But it was useless, he had no intention of resisting at all.
They have lived here for generations and know the power of the gods.
In front of God, they are as humble as ants and can only survive under God's mercy.
If they don't do it now, there is only one result waiting for them, death! Not only will they die, but the entire Tianren Village will die.
"No, Uncle Ren, Aunt Ci, don't come over, let Tian Xin go.
I can die, but Tianxin is still young, can you bear it?"
Alan cried and stopped him.
But these words are no longer enough to shake these people's hearts.
Just a moment ago, Tian Xin's words really moved their faces.
Make them feel guilty.
But in the end, the desire for survival suppressed the good thoughts in his heart.
They don't want to die.
Step by step, they pressed closer.
In the distance in the void, Long Fei watched everything quietly.
"Humanity is such a good thing.
However, whose life is not life?
Who said that gods must be aloof?
It was never God who suppressed them, but the fear in their hearts.
"Long Fei murmured to himself.
But he had no intention of taking action.
It was as if he was reading a story, standing aloof, reading other people's helplessness or pity their stupidity as a bystander.
"However, I don't know what kind of choice that little guy will make."
Long Fei thought to himself and looked into the distance.
