I became the golden finger of the indigenous people

Chapter 320 434. Baishuihe Sacrifice; I will kill it!

Yongguo, outside Linshui County, by the Baishui River.

At this time, a sacrifice is being held.

I see:

An altar stands tall, and the whole body is made of bluestone, nine feet in length and width, with various ritual utensils placed on it, and black and black flags inserted on both sides.

A sorceress with colorfully painted faces stood high on the altar, dancing weird dances with her hands and feet.

After her, many big men brought up bundled cows, sheep, and pigs.

Behind these beasts, there were twelve pairs of young boys and girls in fine clothes, who were tied up and drove up with pale faces.

Below the altar.

Surrounded by many common people, the crowds are crowded and bustling, they are like watching a social drama, watching it with gusto.

At this time.

After the crowd, a Taoist priest in green shirt came riding a donkey, it was Xun Mu.

He looked for an old woman and asked, "Grandma, I think...is this a sacrifice?"

"Yes!"

While looking at the altar, the old woman replied casually, "This is offering sacrifices to the river god!"

"River God?"

Xun Mu frowned and said, "I see that there are not only livestock but also living people among the sacrifices. The one who asks for such a blood meal must be an evil god, right?"

"Young boy, what nonsense are you talking about?"

When the old woman heard this, she turned her head angrily and glared at Xun Mu: "Is it a boy from a foreign country? How would you know that it is the God of the River that blesses the county with good weather and good harvests. We all sincerely worshiped it."

"Besides, those people are just bought orphans, going down to serve the God of the River is the blessing they have cultivated in eight lifetimes!"

be so reprimanded.

Xun Mu shook his head and smiled, but didn't say any more.

"Sure enough, as recorded in "Zhang Ziyun's Travel Notes,"

He secretly said in his heart: "This Baishuihe God wants to bless one side with good weather in exchange for sacrifices... But, does he ask for blood from virgins and men? Hehe!"

According to Zhang Ziyun's records:

There have been many immortal cultivators who came to slay demons and eliminate demons, but they couldn't help the Baishuihe God.

Once, there was a Daoist Yuanshen who severely injured Baishui River God and chased him into the water. However, for some unknown reason, he still failed to kill him.

Later, the immortal cultivators saw that the Baishui River God was hard-headed, difficult to eradicate, harmless, and in fact protected a party from wind and rain, so they didn't care about it anymore.

And the reason why Xun Mu came here.

Because of:
Zhang Ziyun guessed that under the white water, there might be a dragon palace with countless treasures and inheritances.

"Although this Baishuihe god has the merit of protecting one side's prosperity and good weather, his crime of feeding on human blood... deserves to be punished!"

Xun Mu didn't show it on his face, but in his heart, he had already sentenced the so-called Baishui River God to death.

So plan.

He let go of the black donkey and let it go away. Immediately afterwards, he found another place and lifted off invisibly.

And this time-

below.

On the altar, the sorceress continued to dance, and as time passed, at some point, a special wave suddenly centered on the altar and spread towards the river.

Hurala!
The river, which was originally flowing calmly, suddenly began to surge violently, and a large number of bubbles burst out.

Immediately.

There are also countless cyclones, forming a large whirlpool with a radius of tens of feet. Under the whirlpool, there is still a huge shadow floating faintly.

"Look in the water!"

"That's... the river god has appeared!"

"Meet the river god!"

"The god of the river blesses me in Linshui County, and the coming year will be blessed with good weather!"

"Bless me to give birth to a big fat son!"

……

Under the altar, a huge crowd knelt down, all with excited expressions.

And on the altar.

"quick!"

The sorceress stopped dancing and shouted: "Push all these sacrifices down, let the river god master enjoy them!"

Behind.

Those big men rushed forward and pushed the cows, sheep, and pigs into the water one after another.

I see:

All the livestock that were pushed into the water, with the whirlpool spinning rapidly, sank to the bottom of the water, into the mouth of the huge shadow.

……

Just when these people were carrying the livestock and throwing them into the water——

in the sky.

Xun Mu's eyes were full of mana, and he looked down.

In his eyes:
In the river water, the huge shadow quickly became clear.

It turned out that it was a big black soft-shelled turtle. Its body was forty feet long and thirty feet wide, like a mountain.

And the big whirlpool in the water is just formed by its easy stirring.

"What a big turtle!"

When Xun Mu saw it, he was deeply surprised: "This old turtle, I don't know how long it has lived, and the magic power in it is hundreds of times that of mine."

The lifespan of monsters is much longer than that of humans, not to mention the old turtle who is famous for its lifespan.

It has lived for such a long time, even if it is practiced and fumbled, the efficiency is not high, and the mana is profound after many years, and it is not easy for Kobe.

Of course, deep mana does not necessarily mean strong strength.

After all, a ton of tofu foam is no stronger than a kitchen knife, and ordinary mana is like the power of the primordial spirit.

"This old turtle, in my opinion, with this body of mana, has the normal combat power of the primordial spirit, but it is still much worse than my perfection of the primordial spirit."

Xun Mu murmured, his whole body's true energy surged, and the three floating swords of martial arts true energy were continuously compressed and solidified, shining with golden light.

This is ready to attack.

After all, being strong is one thing, but it is also necessary to prevent the old turtle from escaping. He doesn't want to chase into the bottom of the water and gamble on whether he can break the opponent's lair.

Below the altar.

When the twelve pairs of virgins and boys were about to be kicked out of power——

Xun Mu made a move.

With the power of the primordial spirit, he drove three true primordial lightsabers, combining immortality and martial arts, and unleashed the strongest blow to date.

Swish swish!
Three streaks of light, in a flash, submerged into the river.

underwater.

The old turtle suddenly sensed the danger of life and death, and with a shudder, he only had time to turn over slightly and block it with the side of the shell on his back.

next moment.

"Woooo!"

A mournful cry sounded, followed by a huge wave sweeping across the sky and hitting the shore.

at this time--

Whoa!
A ray of light descended from Xun Mu, hanging in the air, with a flick of his sleeves, he stopped the huge waves of the ocean and let them explode back into the river.

Rumble!
Under the shock, water vapor filled the sky and the earth.

On the river bank, there was chaos.

"what happened?"

"What happened?"

"It's a fairy! I saw a fairy just now!"

"I saw it too."

"Is the immortal fighting with the river god?"

……

The chaos is not only on the river bank, but also underwater.

Gollum!
In the river water, the old turtle was wounded and bleeding, and the smell of blood emanated, attracting fish, turtles, shrimps, water snakes and mayflies in the river, and they rushed violently like crazy.

But that old turtle was sinking rapidly.

"It didn't die? What a strong defense!"

Xun Mu was surprised.

His strongest move, condensing the sword of true essence, and then mobilizing it with the primordial spirit, takes time, and it is too late for now.

Therefore.

Xun Mu quickly entered the water and tracked down.

Under the surface of the water, where the old turtle passed by, blood was permeating, and the strong medicinal power in it attracted a large number of creatures to loot it.

Although this phenomenon assisted Xun Mu in positioning, it also blocked the way to a certain extent.

but.

Xun Mu fled quickly, but he was not afraid of this influence.

"Moo!"

Feeling the dangerous aura chasing after him, the old turtle was even faster, and the water escape technique was urged to the extreme, and he went straight to his lair at the bottom of the river.

Just a few breaths.

It entered a bright coral group, and below it was a colorful and crystal palace.

That is... Dragon Palace!
Zhang Ziyun's guess is true!

After the old turtle entered the range of the Dragon Palace.

Just three seconds.

Xun Mu chased after him, but at this moment, the entire Dragon Palace had been enveloped by a translucent light curtain, which was forbidden by law.

"Immortal Elder,"

The old turtle turned around and said, "This Dragon Palace Formation is connected to the water veins of the Baishui River. Breaking my law prohibition will destroy the water veins of the Baishui River."

"Such a big cause and effect, the Taoist priest is willing to bear it? Why don't you just retreat?"

"No wonder, the master Yuanshen who came here unexpectedly spared your life. It's just that he is repeating the old trick to threaten me?"

A hint of sarcasm flashed in Xun Mu's eyes: "It's nothing more than... After the poor Taoist broke the law, he killed your demon body, filled the water eyes, and slowly sorted out the water veins in more than ten years."

talking.

Around him, there were three true essence lightsabers condensed again, driven by the power of the primordial spirit, they shot out and crashed into the magic barrier.

Rumble!
The water surged, the law trembled, and the translucent light curtain shook for a while.

"Yes."

Seeing this, Xun Mu nodded slightly: "I can break this formation. After all, formations have limits, and this method is forbidden to me. It's just a matter of hard work, and it only takes half a year at most."

"This this this..."

But the old turtle, seeing this scene, had eyes like the roof of a car, which instantly widened, utterly horrified.

To know:
The last Daoist Yuanshen came and shot with all his strength, but he couldn't shake the Dragon Palace's prohibition at all. Coupled with the fear of karma, it lowered its head on its own initiative, spent money to eliminate disasters, and then retreated.

The old turtle wanted to repeat his old tricks, first let Xun Mu lose his head in this law ban, and kill his spirit, then he would take the initiative to bow his head, give him a step, confess his love and apologize, so that he can send him away.

However, it did not expect that this first step would go wrong.

"Looking at his momentum, this murderous man in front of me, after spending day and night, I'm afraid he can really break the Dragon Palace's law prohibition, what should we do?"

The old turtle was very anxious, and hurriedly begged for mercy: "Stop the fairy! Dare I ask, how did the old turtle offend the fairy? I am willing to make amends!"

"Offend me?"

Xun Mu shook his head, and said coldly: "You didn't offend me. Your crime lies in: demanding blood for food, cannibalism! Its crime... deserves to be punished!"

He originally thought that this old turtle would feel guilty, and even retort: ​​"Humans can eat monsters, why can't monsters eat people?"

But unexpectedly, the other party would call Qu.

"Elder Immortal, you are wronged!"

When the old turtle heard the words, he kept crying out for grievances: "Prince Immortal, you don't know what's going on here, so let me explain it in detail."

"800 years ago, I made an agreement with the city god of Linshui County: I will protect one side with good weather and good harvests; in exchange, the people of Linshui County will give me a blood meal once a month."

"Of course, this blood food can be eaten by cattle, sheep or pigs, but I never asked for it to be human!"

"This situation has been going on for more than a hundred years."

"Until the end of the last dynasty, people's livelihood was weak. During the reign of that county magistrate, he couldn't bear the people to sacrifice pigs, cattle, and sheep, so he replaced them with criminals."

"Later, for some reason, Linshui County used living people for sacrifices."

"I didn't ask for this kind of thing, old turtle. It's all voluntary by the people of Linshui County."

"Even, a hundred years ago, that immortal expert came and couldn't bear to destroy the water veins of the Baishui River. He let the old turtle go and forbade the sacrifice of living people."

"However, decades later, there was a severe drought in Linshui County, and the old turtle did his best to turn it into a minor drought."

"There are rumors among the folks that the river god is not happy, so, being clever, he replaced the sacrifice with a living person."

"What can I do, old turtle?"

"Those living people are pushed into the water. Even if I don't eat the old turtles, they will be drowned and eaten by other aquariums. In special cases, they will even become water ghosts."

"As for the old turtles, if I eat them, I will release their souls and reincarnate."

"Xianchang, tell me, is this the reason?"

"Is that so?"

Xun Mu frowned and fell silent.

He knew: This old turtle did not lie—one who has reached the primordial spirit state in the immortal way, has keen inspiration, and those who are not as good as the realm, unless there is some treasure that can turn the mind and soul, otherwise, there is no way to tell a lie.

As for, can this old turtle have such treasures?Even, can he deceive Xun Mu who has the 'Ancient Porcelain Pillow Subroutine'?
The odds are slim.

"People in the world are dull and ignorant, what can we do?"

Xun Mu sighed in his heart, but his face was calm, and he scolded: "You old turtle, you are so good at quibbling!"

"As you said before, I believed everything, but—"

He sneered and asked: "With your ability, can't you send those sacrificed living people back to the shore? Or, if you show your holiness in the world, just say a word, don't sacrifice living people, just livestock, is it difficult?"

"It's just that, you old turtle, seeing that living people are delicious, so you just push the boat along with the flow, half-push and half-push!"

"This……"

The old turtle was a little embarrassed when he was exposed, he paused, and said: "Don't dare to lie, as the Taoist priest said, I am indeed that... half push and half, but it can't be all my fault, can it?"

"I have never actively hunted and killed people."

"Moreover,"

Its voice was aggrieved: "Those living people who were bought to sacrifice, even if they were not eaten by my old turtle, their fate is miserable. Also, in the world of mortals, there are countless human races who kill each other."

"Don't mention anything else, let's just talk about the internal struggle among the human race. Every year, the corpses thrown into the river are sacrificed to me hundreds of times. What they have done is far more than me, the old turtle."

"Old turtle, I have sins, I admit it. But, the crime doesn't lead to death, right?"

"Immortal Elder, you can't just kill me because of this, and let me turn into ashes after thousands of years of practice?"

"good."

Xun Mu thought for a while, and admitted frankly: "The fighting among the human race is indeed more excessive than what you have done, but—"

Speaking of it.

His eyes shone brightly, and he said majesticly: "In matters of the human race, the human race can decide on its own, everything is fine, but no foreign race should interfere, otherwise, I will kill it!"

This sentence falls.

The old turtle immediately trembled, trembling all over, it took a while before he realized it, looked at Xun Mu and said, "Yes, the old turtle obeys the instruction."

Inexplicably.

In its heart, while being overwhelmed by Xun Mu's domineering aura, there was also a deep sadness: "The human race is powerful, what can I do for it? What can I do!"
