Chapter 273: Calculating Cause and Effect

She could grit her teeth and endure the pain caused by her flesh.

"Your affairs... I'm not interested." Jiang Su's voice was bored, not even a hint of exploration.

"I have already obtained the magic weapon. You mortals are of no use to me. As for what you did... I have ears and I heard it all. You don't need to tell me."

"As for you sisters...well..."

The naughty expression of the girl in green disappeared instantly, and she suddenly took on a serious look.

"Ahem, he does many evil things and brings disaster to the entire city."

"Oh, by the way, let me ask again, do the people in this city have some special customs? Otherwise, why would you kill them?"

Just killing people. Jiang never had the habit of counting heads. She was just rebellious and violent, but she was not murderous.

She wants to eat melon more...

"If I tell you... you will let us sisters go... both of us..." Zhao Sanniang and Jiang Su discussed.

When Jiang Su heard this, the smile on his face became even stronger: "Hey, two people. Is there something going on here?"

Only two of them turned into mermaids, while the other three turned directly into fish. Is this because... the two of them had some special experiences and did not eat too much fish blood?

"Then tell me, why didn't you save the other three people?" Jiang Su then released his grip on Zhao Sanniang's neck, made a knot with his fingertips, and tied the mermaid's arms behind his back with a silk thread.

The girl in green tied Zhao Wuniang's arms with the colorful ribbons on her body.

Want to eat melon!!!

Lezi people are back again!!!

This lady Zhao Sanniang is not stupid, she knows how to climb up the pole. Now that the immortal is willing to listen to her, it means that she can possibly save her life and her sister's life.

but……

This immortal... has a changeable temperament, and his face is as unpredictable as the weather...

He is a vicious person.

She couldn't say harsh words about it.

"I...our city is called Xin City. It was built by our ancestors to avoid war. It is surrounded by the sea and mountains on two sides, so it is isolated from the world."

Jiang Su heard it, and Zhao Sanniang wanted to say the reason, but she didn't want to talk about family ties.

"People in our city make a living from the sea and go fishing all day long... There is indeed an old custom. That is, the city lord selects a girl from the city who was born in autumn every year.

It is best for her to be a hairdresser and let her go to... to perform sacrifices at sea, so that the ship can have good luck and have plenty of food and clothing..."

Zhao Sanniang's voice is like the waves in the background, sometimes causing twists and turns, and then suddenly falling flat when talking about a certain sentence.

"Sea Festival?" Jiang Su repeated the word.

In her impression, any ceremony involving living people, especially in remote places, is mostly something that cannot be separated from flesh and blood and death.

"Well... the sea festival is to throw the girl Lingchi... into the sea and feed it to the fish and shrimps." Zhao Sanniang mentioned this, seeming to be numb to everything in the past.

She and her sisters conquered this city... As time passed, they also forgot their original intentions.

"The city lord will work with the people in the city to build the altar on the largest rock on the seashore. They said... only in this way can this pure voice call out the creatures in the sea... which is the fish they use to wrap their bellies.

shrimp."

"Haha... there is no pure voice anywhere. It is clearly a woman howling in pain!!! They almost broke their throats!!?" Zhao Sanniang's mood suddenly changed.

"Year after year, since the year I was born and had memories, I have watched with my own eyes those people throwing so-called sacrifices into the sea to feed the fish!!!"

"Why! Those are girls who have just reached the age of hair! It's because they were born in autumn! No one in the city wants to give birth to children in autumn! So for the so-called abundance of food and clothing, they feel like they have lost their hair every winter.

Like a beast of love!!!”

"There are few girls who can walk on the ground in the whole city!!! Those are human beings!!! The children born are also their children!! They are their own flesh and blood!!!"

Zhao Sanniang's emotions were suddenly aroused, and the red corners of her eyes were not because of sadness, but because of anger. Her hands, which were tied behind her back, wanted to take them out and hammer the rocks on the ground hard.

"They deserve to die!!! The whole city deserves to die!!!"

"Those who are lucky enough to be alive can eat fish and shrimps fed with the flesh and blood of their childhood playmates with peace of mind, and they are all scrambling to point out who was born in the autumn!!!"

"They are all cowards!!! They are all accomplices and they deserve to die!!!"

"One year, there was no girl born in autumn with hairpins. Those people actually pointed at the mother of the five of us who was already fifty-two."

"They said our mother was also born in autumn!!! They didn't care about her age and tortured our mother alive on the westernmost reef on the seashore for two days!!!"

"What she hates the most is the sea. That's our mother. She's fifty-two years old! She's not a girl!!!"

Zhao Sanniang shouted angrily into the distance, spouting sentences one after another without stopping. After venting all her emotions, she took a big breath.

"We... accidentally picked up these hairpins and found that they had divine power, so we killed everyone in the city and threw them into the sea."

"Only a few children were left... and they were raised slowly. Everyone will always be alive, and there will always be people in the city. Until one day... we discovered the efficacy of fish blood."

"For some reason, a fish jumped from the sea to my head. When it touched the hairpin, it turned into a human!!! It had human limbs but no human body or face!!!"

"And its blood can restore my old appearance!!! Even bleeding wounds can heal in an instant!!!"

"Fish can become demons! And demon blood! Has the power of immortality!!!"

Zhao Sanniang suddenly laughed, "Hahahahahaha."

She swayed back and forth, and a trace of bright red blood flowed from the corner of her mouth.

His lips and teeth parted slightly, and thicker and thicker blood spat out from his lips.

She bit her tongue and committed suicide.

"Huh?" It was beyond Jiang Su's expectation.

Zhao Sanniang knew that Jiang Su would not be able to save her and Fifth Sister's lives because of a story, but she heard people who came here to do business by chance say that immortals care about cause and effect, and this immortal killed herself and Fifth Sister to do justice for heaven!!

But if he commits suicide... then he is forced by the immortal, and the cause and effect lies with the immortal!!!

Zhao Sanniang thought like this, closed her eyes with satisfaction, and fell to the ground.

"boom--"

The sound echoed.

Jiang Su listened silently to the movement in front of her without stopping. Biting her tongue and committing suicide was just a trick for a medical practitioner like her.

I want her to live! She, Zhao Sanniang, must live.

But Jiang Su thought that Zhao Sanniang deserved to die.

She understood that Zhao Sanniang was risking her life for mercy and letting Zhao Wuniang go.

It's a pity that this young medical cultivator couldn't see the complexity in the eyes of the person in front of her. She could only rely on her imagination and the attitudes of mortals towards cultivators in the past to guess.
