That is a protruding cliff on the seaside, on which a platform tens of meters high was specially built, all made of wood and criss-crossing it. It still stands tall in the sea wind. It must have taken a lot of thought.
Many people crowded along the coast, but did not dare to approach the high platform.
There are some people coming and going above, and some people are climbing up the ladder. They should be the main personnel of the sacrifice.
Xu Mochen frowned. There were so many people. If he wanted to pass by, he couldn't fly.
Tang Derun was investigating information. He secretly handed a piece of silver to a middle-aged man next to him, but he didn't know that the other person was interested, so he threw it back.
"This is a sacrifice to the God of the Sea," the middle-aged man told them free gossip, "You two are outsiders, so you can catch up with this ceremony.
As for the sacrifice, it does not happen every year. The conditions are very strict, so it takes several years to get together.
This time we are offering sacrifices, it is estimated that within two or three years, the seawater will not flow back and the fields will be better."
Tang Derun smiled: "Thank you for your advice. There are not many people in the mountains who just pick fruits. Why are there people farming?"
"Hi," the middle-aged man looked like he was looking at an idiot and patted Tang Derun on the shoulder, "The people living in this field cannot go to the mountains and rivers, so they can only farm."
It seems that these mountains, rivers, and seas all have spheres of influence.
"I don't know what the conditions for sacrifice are." Tang Derun continued to ask.
The middle-aged man's face changed slightly: "It's difficult, very difficult.
Twelve months must be collected, and every month is the night of the fifteenth full moon, and a baby girl born during the twelfth month can constitute a sacrifice."
In the world of immortal cultivators, it is not uncommon for some cannibals to harm mortals, including human sacrifice.
But this is the first time even Tang Derun has heard that the sacrifice requires twelve baby girls born on the fifteenth day of each month.
What kind of hobby is this, or is it necessary to practice the exercises?
Xu Mochen suppressed the anger in his heart. He did not expect that this group of immortal cultivators would not spare even children: "Ask carefully about the situation."
But the middle-aged man didn't know any more information: "After the sacrifices were placed, a heavy fog would appear, making it difficult to distinguish with the naked eye. You could only hear the roar of the wind, and when the fog cleared, the sacrifices would be gone.
”
Xu Mochen looked over, and sure enough, there were twelve women on the high platform, holding babies in their arms.
"The law of heaven cannot tolerate it," Shen Zhining gritted her teeth, "It is an unforgivable crime to attack infants and young children."
"When the fog starts, I will go check it out myself," Xu Mochen leaned over and whispered in a low voice, "The stage for my concubine is ready."
Shen Zhining nodded: "I promise it will be a good show, but Your Majesty, you have to defeat the immortal cultivators who come."
Xu Mochen nodded: "I will definitely kill these demons and immortals. My beloved, you don't need to worry too much.
As well as the mortal sacrificers on that stage, arrest them all."
Shen Zhining nodded. After hearing this, Tang Derun turned around and summoned the embroiderer to inform the prefect.
Although the local officers and soldiers do not play a big role, they still represent orthodoxy and are somewhat intimidating.
After arranging everything, Xu Mochen held his breath and watched the development of the situation.
Not long after, the time for sacrifice came, and the sound of firecrackers, gongs and drums rang out from the high platform, and there were faint sounds of crying.
Even if it is for more people, no mother is willing to trade her child.
But when an individual faces the power of the group and is kidnapped by the supreme morality, everything seems in vain.
Suddenly dark clouds covered the sky, and thick fog appeared on the sea.
The sky and the earth are eclipsed, giving people a feeling of approaching dusk.
The heavy fog came very quickly, and soon after it swallowed up the high platform, it enveloped all the people on the coast in a blink of an eye.
"Cui Zhu!" Shen Zhining saw the right moment and ordered in a low voice.
Cuizhu had been prepared for a long time. When she received the signal, she raised her hands and the powder, which was invisible to the naked eye, spread out in all directions.
This is a *** that can charm the mind. Considering that the target is a mortal, it only has the most basic function.
The people around him instantly fell into a coma.
Xu
Mo Chen did not hesitate, he flipped his right hand, holding the lightsaber in his hand, unfolded his sword control skills, and shot towards the high platform at an extremely fast speed.
Shen Zhining also deployed her silhouette power, jumped up, and materialized a floating lotus in the air. She, Tang Derun, and Cuizhu followed closely behind.
The entire coast was covered in fog, and only the flood-like cries of the people could be heard.
"Poseidon's blessing! Good harvest!"
"Poseidon's blessing! Good harvest!"
Amid the shouts, Xu Mochen broke through the thick fog and flew near the high platform.
His spiritual consciousness swept across, and there was something vaguely squirming in the thick fog in front of him. His figure flickered, and with a flash of sword light from his long sword, he chopped down a group of things.
Accompanied by this, there was also a sharp cry.
Tang Derun, Shen Zhining, and Cuizhu also arrived here.
The person in charge of the sacrifice on the high platform suddenly panicked and was ready to come and get the person.
Seeing that they move very quickly, they are actually mortals practicing ancient martial arts.
But for those who seek immortality, martial arts is like a mantis blocking the train.
The long sword in Cuizhu's hand exploded into a ball of sword light, which immediately knocked the group of people away, but did not harm their lives.
Shen Zhining followed closely behind. She manifested a rope and flew over to pick up the babies one by one.
"Look at them." She gestured to Cuizhu, who hooked his hands and spread his spiritual energy to protect the twelve babies.
Over there, Xu Mochen landed on the high platform and saw dozens of tentacles falling from the air, like severed earthworms, still wriggling.
"Who is coming?" A female voice came from the thick fog, "I am the Concubine of the Dragon Palace in the South China Sea. I have been ordered to come to complete the sacrifice. This is an agreement with the human race. It has been passed down for more than a hundred years. How dare you
Bad things for me."
Xu Mochen sneered: "Who dares to call himself an immortal? Here comes someone who will kill you."
After saying this, he didn't stop and jumped up again. The blue clouds in the sky spread out and the sword intention spread out, pushing out layer by layer, forcing the thick fog back.
Tang Derun followed him, the three magical caves opened, golden light flashed, and countless deer rushed into the thick fog, bursting into clouds of light.
"Eighth level of Blood Training Realm?" The female fairy exclaimed, "Fairy friends, let's keep in touch with each other..."
Under the attack of the two men, the power of the source and the spiritual energy mixed and surged, and the thick fog was blown away.
This time I could see clearly that this Yu Ji was about three meters tall, floating in the air, stepping on the rising sea water.
From the chest up, there is a beautiful woman, below, there is a snake fish, with black hair as thick as a thumb, squirming like a small snake.
Tang Derun sneered: "You, a monster that has not completely transformed into a human form, have just claimed to be an immortal. Aren't you afraid that heaven will cut off your immortality and prevent you from reincarnation?"
Xu Mochen also tried it out. This guy's combat power is almost at the peak of the Qi Refining Realm, and he is far from the opponent of the two.
"Your Majesty," Tang Derun said in a timely manner, "this thing is actually called "Feng Ji". It is a branch of the mermaid, but it relies on its hair to suck blood. Not only human race, but any blood is fine."
Seeing that her identity was exposed, Yu Ji quickly turned over and submerged into the sea.
"My dear concubine," Xu Mochen greeted, "I will come as soon as I go, and I will leave this place to you."
Shen Zhining nodded, and waved her long sleeves: "Silhouette magical power, thousands of transformations!"
