Hearing this, the villagers' hearts trembled. It is the rule here to worship the river god with boys and girls. Although they are used to this matter, it is still shocking to their hearts when it really befalls them.

"Captain, it's not that I don't want to worship the river god, it's just that in our village, there are only virgins and no virgins." The village chief said. This leader of the Miao Jiang people is the captain of the guard of Tianzhu County. Maintain law and order in peacetime.

With that, the village chief gestured to a woman holding a child. When the woman saw this, she couldn't help but tremble.

"No virgins?" The captain of the guard sneered, pointed at Xiaomei and said, "That girl should be less than thirteen years old, and she can also be used as a virgin to worship the river god." ”

"No, Captain!" The village chief hurriedly said, "In Xiaomei's previous life, she was the maid of the old ancestor, and she couldn't use it to worship the river god. According to her identity, the river god should come to worship her. ”

"Nonsense!" The captain of the guard snorted coldly: "Who told you that she is the maid of the old ancestor, the grass ghost woman?" Didn't she say that she was going to be burned to death by a drought, why did she become the maid of her ancestors again? ”

"It's not!" The village chief said, "A young man appeared just now, and he is the reincarnation of the ancestor Chiyou. He killed the grass ghost woman, and Xiaomei was his maid, and he told us that. ”

"Myths confuse the public!" The captain of the guard snorted coldly: "Among the young talents in our Miao Jiang, only the young witch master is the strongest, how can there be a young man who has been reincarnated by the ancestor!" Someone, grab that girl and take it to the river god tomorrow. ”

"You can't do that!" At this time, the village chief stood up, stretched out his hand to stop them, and said angrily: "Just now, the ancestor was reincarnated and manifested the Law Body, and we all saw it clearly. If you want to catch Xiaomei, you are disrespectful to your ancestors! ”

"Yes, the maids of the ancestors can't worship the river god!"

"What a rebellion!"

"You unscrupulous descendants are rude to your ancestors, and you will be killed by heaven!"

Among the villagers, some old people scolded one after another. A human wall was formed to prevent them from catching Xiaomei.

"You dare to disobey the orders of the Five Immortals Sect!" The captain of the guard was furious, picked up the spear in his hand, and pulled the trigger.

There was a "bang", and the sound resounded in the sky.

The crowd was stunned and suddenly fell silent. The majesty that the Five Immortal Sect usually accumulated and the gunfire of the captain frightened them.

In Tianzhu County, the Five Immortals Sect was legitimate, and it had infiltrated all classes. The guards in the county seat, which is equivalent to the police station, are all members of the Five Immortals Sect, and even those county officials are also sect members.

"If you don't get out of the way, I'll kill you!" The captain of the guard shouted coldly: "Get out of the way!" ”

With his loud shout, the Miao Jiang people behind him also pointed their guns at the crowd.

"Folks, let's not be afraid of them!" The village chief walked to the front of the crowd and said loudly: "They are all unfilial descendants and beasts who do not respect their ancestors, but we can't do that. ”

"We must swear to protect the handmaidens of our ancestors and maintain the majesty of our ancestors. Even if these beasts kill us, don't be afraid! It should be regarded as sacrificing our blood to the ancestor of Chiyou! ”

When the crowd heard this, they all hated the same enemy. The human wall, which was originally a little loose, was combined again to protect Xiaomei's mother and daughter tightly in the middle.

"Old dog!" The captain of the guard looked stunned, and he couldn't help but scold in his heart! The faith of the crowd is indeed unshakable, and they will use their own flesh and blood to forge a great wall of blood.

If you want to catch Xiaomei, it is estimated that the only way to do it is to slaughter the village. But he didn't have the courage to do the slaughter of the village. The Five Immortals Sect is not exactly an evil sect, and there are a large number of believers, and he does not dare to commit public anger.

"Captain, what should I do?" The deputy captain with the gun next to him asked.

"The boy will be found in this village, and the virgin will be found in another village." The captain of the guard said. In the end, he had to give in: "Also, send a few people outside the village to search and find the young man they are talking about." ”

"Arrest that young man and torture him, and you can expose his lies." A sneer appeared on the captain of the guard: "Hmph! The reincarnation of the ancestor of Chiyou? So he is also the ancestor of Lao Tzu? ”

"What the captain said is that the reincarnation of the ancestor is the ancestor of all the Miao Jiang people, how is this possible!?" Said the vice-captain. Such a shocking thing, if you don't see it with your own eyes, these people will never believe it.

"Hurry up and take someone to arrest someone!" The captain said.

"Yes!" Said the vice-captain. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something and said, "Captain, did you say that the young man they saw just now is the one we asked us to hunt down above?" ”

"Ninety percent of it!" The captain looked at him and said, "You quickly bring someone to arrest him, if we can expose his lies on the spot here, we don't have to go to other villages to find the virgin." ”

If you want to find a virgin to worship the river god, you have to take it to death, and no one wants to change it. Therefore, it is very difficult for them to go to other villages to find it. Maybe there will be resistance, after all, that's not justified.

Therefore, if they can find it in their own village, they will not have any trouble.

"Yes!" The deputy captain took the order and said to a few Miao Jiang people: "You guys, come with me!" ”

So, a few people quickly walked out of the village.

"Old village chief, let's not arrest that girl for the time being, you let the villagers disperse." The captain of the guard said to the village chief, "Find a few more families and let our guards live!" ”

"Yes!" The village chief respectfully received the order, as long as they didn't use Xiaomei's memorial, they would not resist. In addition, it is customary for the guards to stay in the village to prevent the chosen ones from escaping in the middle of the night.

……

"Is there really a river god in this river?" Xiao Fei and the others walked to the riverbank, and after waiting for a while, they saw two villagers carrying a wooden boat coming over, and they were the people assigned by the village chief to lend them the boat.

Seeing the two of them coming, Xiao Fei asked. At this time, Xiao Fei didn't know about worshipping the river god, but he had heard people nearby occasionally say that there was a river god in it.

In fact, he had long known that there was no river god in it, because when he used the rain prayer magic power, he didn't find that there was a divine breath in the river. Therefore, he suspected that there was some kind of water monster in it.

"Yes, there really is!" "In the past, we didn't dare to go into the water to fish, and we didn't dare to cross the river casually. But the ancestor wants to cross the river, and we are not afraid of any dangerous things. ”

"Speaking of this river god, it is very ferocious." One villager said: "Every year at this time, the county organizes a memorial to it. ”
