Chapter 134 Sacrifice yourself(2/3)
Yun Zhongjun didn't seem surprised: "Well, I already know."
The wizard hesitated and wanted to say something, but he felt that Yun Zhongjun must have already made arrangements. How could he tell Yun Zhongjun about it?
At this time, Yun Zhongjun suddenly raised his hand.
The palm slipped out of the sleeve and pointed into the distance.
"Look!"
The wizard looked in the direction pointed by Yun Zhongjun and saw a long embankment in the distance.
Shen Wugang still didn't understand it yet, and she didn't know where exactly she was seeing at this moment, but with a flash of inspiration, she suddenly spoke.
"ah!"
"Could it be that this is Huajiang?"
Just taking a closer look, the wizard saw many figures on the embankment again.
Although it was raining heavily, these people stood or knelt on the embankment motionless. A simple shed was built on a high place, and an offering table was placed under the shed. Someone seemed to be performing some ceremony in front of the offering table.
"What is that doing?"
As the dragon got closer, the witch seemed to understand.
Because he saw two children sitting on the altar table.
As a member of the witches, although it has not been long since he became a shaman, he does not know the long-standing customs.
That is a living sacrifice.
Boys and girls were sacrificed to the dragon of the river, the god in the water.
Looking at the altar table on the embankment, the crazy worshipers in the rain and the worshipers worshiping devoutly.
At this moment, the wizard suddenly remembered a few months ago.
It was not raining at that time, and the mountain people, villagers, and witches all said that God was angry and asked for a living sacrifice. Even the sacrifices had been selected at that time.
It's just that the wizard couldn't bear the thought that he had been a sacrifice in the past. Fortunately, Yun Zhongjun warned him during the divination, and he got an unfavorable hexagram, and the incident came to an end.
Nowadays, it rains too much during the Meiyu flood season and the rivers overflow. Seeing this in another place, the witch can be said to have extremely complicated emotions.
Divine Witch: "Are they offering sacrifices to you, the Divine Lord?"
In fact, until this moment, she didn't know whether what the divination revealed at that time was really bad, or whether it was just luck.
I don't even know how Yun Zhongjun views the human sacrifice.
Yun Zhongjun finally spoke: "Where should I send a group of drowned, scorched, and rotten corpses?"
The witch was stunned after hearing this. She might not have thought that in the eyes of gods, sacrifices looked like this.
"Forgive me, Lord God, but mortals don't know the true meaning of gods, so they always show their ignorance in front of Lord God."
Yun Zhongjun: "Maybe it's just because people haven't understood this world."
But the divine witch thought it meant something else: "The divine witch will definitely let all living beings know the divine king's intentions, and will no longer sacrifice blood to human beings, which will pollute the divine realm of the divine monarch."
Yun Zhongjun stopped talking, only the dragon swam quietly forward.

Painting on the river embankment.
The wind was blowing violently and the rain was violent, and the villagers gathered on the banks of the rivers to watch the torrents rushing by.
Everyone knows it.
If the river embankment is destroyed, the countryside will be destroyed.
Therefore, everyone present felt anxious.
"The embankment is in danger. Today, the only way to save the embankment is to sacrifice people and animals."
"Does it really work?"
"Today's great disaster must be caused by someone who has offended the Yangtze River Water God. When the River God is angry, he will take many lives before he is willing to give up."
"I heard that a lot of people have died in Jinshan County because they haven't worshiped the River God in recent years!"
"As long as you offer sacrifices to the River God, you can naturally maintain peace."
The person who presided over the sacrifice was also an old local shaman, but it was not Yun Zhongjun's shaman, but a family of shamans who worshiped the water god here.
The old witch stood on a high place, and the believers behind him prayed again and again, muttering words in their mouths and begging God for blessing in a panic.
Everyone was still whispering.
Suddenly, the wizard stood on the embankment and shouted.
"The God of the Yangtze River is so great!"
A sharp cry came out, and the worshipers who were kneeling on the embankment immediately fell silent and kowtowed in prayer.
The old witch was shaking a magic weapon with many copper bells hanging on a copper ring in his hand. When it was shaking, it made a rattling sound, which was mixed with the sound of wind and rain.
The old witch was barefoot and jumped up on the river embankment, spinning around in circles.
"The god who controls the rivers and the rain, we beg you for your protection."
"Retreat the floods and protect our homes."
The sound of shamans echoed in the wind and rain, while they danced ancient Nuo dances, with black Nuo masks on their faces.
The shaman was talking crazy words, the magic weapon in his hand was shaking constantly, and his body was dancing crazily, which looked very scary in the heavy rain.
"Someone is so insignificant, I would like to borrow the power of God."
"If you are blessed by the River God, you will offer sacrifices every year and the incense will last forever."
While praising the so-called Yangtze River Water God, Wu Jin promised mortals things that would be given to them, while asking for what they wanted.
It looks mysterious and scary, making the surrounding villagers fearful.
But essentially.
This so-called sacrifice is more like a negotiation and transaction between mortals and gods.
However, everyone was fully prepared, and the sorcerer roared hoarsely, but the God of the Yangtze River did not seem to respond to their prayers.
Under the river embankment.
On the other side of the river, you can see that the flood is still raging, and the soil on the river embankment is beginning to loosen.
On the other side of the river embankment, you can see that the embankment soil is already very wet, and you can even faintly see water seeping out.
At this time, the people below were frightened, and they immediately shouted to the people on the embankment higher up.
"It's not good, it's not good."
"I can't stand it anymore."
"It's almost over."
"Come down and run!"
"You can't run, the sacrifice has not been completed yet."
"Yes, as long as you worship the River God, you will be able to stabilize the embankment."
At this time.
People also expect the help of ghosts and gods, but of course there are other reasons.
Even if we run away at this time, the country will be flooded by floods, and there will be no harvest or land, so we will not be able to survive this year.
Wu Jin was soaked all over and finally completed the entire sacrificial process.
He stopped and put the magic weapon around his neck.
Then, he shouted to the left and right.
"Sacrifice to the River God!"
Immediately, I saw two people coming forward, one on the left and one on the right, ready to pick up the two children in the shed, put them into a basin and sink them into the river.
But as soon as the two men got up, something unusual happened.
"Dang!"
suddenly.
Two rays of light staggered from the depths of the river and shone on the river embankment.
The light was like a sky pillar, pressing down from a high place. It was so dazzling that the two people who were about to pick up the child immediately covered their faces with their hands and backed away.
"Hiss, my eyes!"
"So bright!"
"What's going on? Where does the light come from?"
"Where does the light come from?"
