"Open~Sea~Min~"

The sound of vicissitudes of life echoed in the sea breeze, and the man shouted with all his might, if he wanted to spit out all the depression in his chest, including joy and sorrow.

At first, he was alone, as if he was the leader, and then gradually the voices of everyone closed, men and women, old and young, shouted in unison, "Boom~" It seemed that even the sea woke up for them, and roared.

It was the sound of "opening the sea" that attracted Zhang Fan and Xiruo to stand in the air, listening to the desolate sound echoing in his ears, looking at the seaside tidal flats, where hundreds of fishermen gathered, as if some ceremony was being held.

The name of the wind and the sea is not taken in vain, and it is extremely said that there are many winds in this sea area, and the big waves are like the wind, which is the most dangerous.

Although this is a chain of islands surrounded by the wind, there is no such violent waves as in the center, but it is not possible to go out to sea to fish at any time, and the slightest carelessness will end in the destruction of the boat and the death of people.

Therefore, there is a saying that the sea is opened and the sea is closed, and now Zhang Fan and the two of them are obviously catching up with the ceremony of opening the sea on this island.

Relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and relying on the water to draft water, it is not an empty word, there is the sustenance of life, more is the fear between life and death, full of joy and return, the loss of the ship and the death of the sorrow, this simple time judged by experience, it was artificially added to the mysterious atmosphere, like the most solemn time of the year.

Hongchen mortals, there are many incomprehensible things, and they all regard them as ghosts and gods and sacrifice them, which is an ordinary thing.

What's more, in today's world, when immortal cultivators have great power and unpredictable power, they are occasionally seen by ordinary people, and they must think that they can see the gods and bow and worship, which is not surprising, and it is impossible to arouse Zhang Fan's interest.

But the scene in front of me is different.

"Senior Brother~"

"Looks like we're in for a good show!"

Regretting the beautiful eyes, the autumn water is rippling, looking around, and said with a smile.

"Hmm!"

"It's a 'good show'. ”

It is a pity that what he saw, Zhang Fan naturally couldn't see it, the divine light in his eyes flickered, and he said meaninglessly.

If you look down from a high position, you can often see things that are not visible in the flat ground.

This place is close to the sea, and it is open sea fishing, which is related to a year's livelihood, but Zhang Fan has never seen a few decent fishing boats on the seaside, and a few are scattered, as if everyone has pinned their hopes on for a year.

Why is that?

Looking from the heights, this small island looks like it has been shaved by a man with a yin and yang head, half of it is lush and dense, it is a highland, and half of it is bald, the grass and trees do not grow, and the crops do not grow, like a wasteland soaked in the sea.

Why is that?

"Sacrifice ~ Dragon ~ God ~"

The voice of the man who "opened the sea" before sounded again, the same desolate and distant, but there was a little more fear, a little awe, and begging~

The echoing sound that sounded afterwards was even more like crying, and the occasional crying sound was immediately stopped by the eyes of the people around him, and it was never heard.

Under the eyes of Zhang Fan and Xiruo, hundreds of fishermen knelt on the ground and did not dare to raise their heads, only eight big men, in groups of two, lifted four rough rafts and walked into the sea.

It was not until the sea had submerged the chests of the eight men that they let out a shout, laid down the four rafts, tied their horses to the stakes that had already been laid, and then returned from the water.

"Human sacrifice!"

Zhang Fan's face became slightly gloomy.

If it had been a few years ago, he might not have reacted much when he saw this scene, and even said that on the Great Desert Island in the past, although he knew that the golden-backed Dapeng Li Peng could eat people, he still had intercourse with him, except that he was not allowed to eat people for this in front of him, he didn't have too many ideas.

But now it's different.

After three years of traveling around the world, especially the lights of thousands of homes, my views on these things have also changed, and I am becoming more and more blind.

The so-called "sacrifice to the dragon god", in addition to a large table on the beach, and the pigs, sheep and cow heads on it, the most important thing is on the four rafts.

As soon as the four rafts were revealed in the crowd, when the strong man did not lift them, Zhang Fan and Xiruo had already seen clearly what was on it.

It was four boys and girls!

The four rafts, exactly two men and two women, the oldest no more than thirteen or fourteen years old, and the younger one no more than seven or eight years old, were bound to the raft by hemp rope, rising and falling with the gently swaying sea.

These four boys and women, with clear eyebrows, can be regarded as handsome, although it can be seen that they have been carefully dressed, but none of them are wearing shoes and socks, and their skin looks healthy wheat, and they are obviously the children of the fishermen's family.

After the four boys and girls were fixed to the sea with the rafts under them, and the eight strong men retreated, hundreds of fishermen stood up in a messy manner, and the sound of "coughing" sounded from it, and the crowd hurriedly divided a path.

In it, an old woman with a cane in her hand staggered out.

The old woman looked different from the fishermen around her, and although she could still see traces of the sea breeze on her old face, she was dressed in a very particular way, different from the tattered coarse cloth clothes of the fishermen around her, at least made of silk and satin.

With her step-by-step movements, hair accessories such as gold hairpins inserted in her white hair also swayed, making a "jingling" sound.

This outfit, walking among a group of fishermen who are obviously extremely poor, looks extremely glaring.

The old woman walked all the way to the offering table, and then she turned around tremblingly, looking at the pair of blank and numb eyes below, one by one in awe, the old woman seemed to be several years younger, and looked down with her head held high.

"Goddess, what do you see here?"

At this time, a stout and honest fisherman who looked to be about fifty years old leaned forward and asked with a low brow.

This person is also the person who shouted "the sea is open" and "sacrifice to the dragon god" before, and he wants to be a first-class person of the village head.

Facing this "village chief", the goddess snorted in her nose and shouted in a hoarse voice: "The auspicious time is here~"

"Bye!"

As everyone worshipped, the goddess took out a bell carved from a material like a fish bone, and shook it while twisting her waist and limbs.

But this madness won the awe of the villagers even more, but when they saw that everyone was about to bury their heads in the sand, they didn't dare to look at it, let alone whisper.

"Interesting!"

When the goddess shook the bell, Zhang Fan and Xiruo's eyes lit up, and they knew that the play was coming.

"It doesn't seem that the fishermen are simply ignorant. ”

Zhang Fan looked away, looked at the sea, and said indifferently: "It's probably the evil dragon that is doing it!"

"Heehehehe~ Senior brother, isn't this exactly what you want?"

Hearing this, Zhang Fan just smiled, and didn't take it to heart.

He is here to slaughter Jiao, if the other party is an evil dragon who is a disaster in the world, it is naturally better.

Just when Zhang Fan was talking to Xiruo, he thought that it was the goddess's contrivance that played a role, and the offshore place suddenly changed from unfazed to undulating, as if something was brewing.

Under the clear sky, the sea appeared clear and blue, but when viewed from a high place, it suddenly appeared cloudy and dark, as if the night was spreading through the sea.

The raft, which was tied to four boys and girls, rose and fell on the violently shaking sea, high and low, like a flat boat in the angry sea, which could capsize and be swallowed up by something at any moment.

"Senior brother, look at that kid. ”

Xiruo suddenly touched Zhang Fan and pointed to a young man lying on the ground in the grass not far away.

The man looked to be only sixteen or seventeen years old, and if you consider that the boy by the sea also looks older, maybe he is only fourteen or fifteen years old, and he has just come out of the stage of a virgin.

This young man crouched here, naturally not worrying that the fishermen on the beach would find out, but it was impossible to hide it from Zhang Fan and Xiruo's eyes.

I didn't care about it before, but now the young man's actions aroused the interest of the two of them.

I saw him holding a harpoon in one hand and a harpoon in the other, and his body trembled violently, as if he might get up at any time, and he pressed and held the harpoon's hand, which was sometimes tight and sometimes loose, and when it was tight, it seemed to want to pinch the harpoon off, and when it was loose, it was lubricated by sweat.

It was this strange appearance that aroused Xiruo's interest.

"A poor man, too. ”

After taking a closer look, Zhang Fan sighed, suddenly pulled Xiruo, and stepped out.

It seemed like a small step, but when he landed again, he was already in front of the young man.

"Ahh

He immediately reacted, covering his mouth tightly and swallowing the other sounds.

Looking closer, Zhang Fan found that the back of the young man's hand was blurred with flesh and blood, and there were traces of faint tooth marks, obviously he had just bitten the back of his hand and forcibly pressed it off.

"Young man, why are you doing this?"

Zhang Fan smiled slightly, his voice was very slow, for some reason, the young man's vigilance in his ears suddenly relaxed, as if he remembered something sad, and muttered: "Yu Niang, Yu Niang is on it." ”

She ...... She's going to sacrifice to the god of the sea...... Woo woo woo~"

Zhang Fan's simple words seemed to arouse all his emotions, and the tears could no longer be held back, slid down his face, wrapped in the dirt on his face, and dripped to the ground.

Following his gaze, it was the "sacrifice" on the four rafts, the oldest and with the appearance of a fourteen or fifteen girl.

"Are you going to save her?"

Retracting his gaze, Zhang Fan still asked in a gentle tone.

The young man's face was confused, first nodding, then shaking his head, and with a "bang", the harpoon slipped completely and fell to the ground.

"Ryujin ~ Ryujin will kill everyone ~"

"My Eminem, my father...... ...... all"

Holding his head, he knocked on the stone, and the blood ran down his forehead, but he didn't realize it.

"Alas~"

Looking at his appearance, the disdain on his face faded and was replaced by pity, as a mortal, what could he do?

It is just a leaf falling into the sea, no matter how much you struggle, you are powerless.
