After watching the crowd leave the city and the streets becoming deserted again, Lu Li went back to the inn, picked up his horse, and rode out of the city.
This is the River God Festival.
If the River God is too strong, he will directly choose to leave.
If it is too weak, just get rid of it and then leave.
No matter what the outcome is, we have to leave, and of course we have to take the horse with us.
By the river outside the city.
A high altar stood, which was made of soil and was seven feet long and wide. At this time, various ritual utensils had been placed on the earth platform, and flags were placed on both sides.
The goddess I saw earlier was now standing on the altar, dancing in a weird spiritual dance.
On both sides of the goddess, there were two men and two women on each side. They were not too old and looked to be only twelve or thirteen years old. They were wearing solemn Chinese clothes, but their faces were very pale.
Lu Li looked at it carefully.
These four boys and girls seemed to have their bodies restrained by some kind of magic, so they couldn't move.
"So these four people are sacrifices to the big turtle."
Lu Li suddenly understood the truth about the so-called sacrifice.
It is nothing more than an agreement with the turtle monster. Every time before crossing the river, a man and a woman will be sacrificed for it to enjoy. After it is full, it will naturally stop making trouble.
From this perspective.
This big turtle still has some sense. He knows that blindly blocking the river will only gradually cut off the people crossing the river. Only by asking for a certain amount of sacrifices like him can the water flow slowly.
"If you sacrifice a living person, the demon is indeed a demon. Even if you pretend to be a god, you are still an evil god."
Shen Yan also understood the scene in front of him. At this time, his expression became ugly. He turned to look at Lu Li and said, "Mr. Lu, do we want to rescue people?"
Lu Li had a calm expression on his face. Hearing this, he shook his head and said, "Don't worry, wait until you see the big turtle. If you can deal with it, you can save people at any time."
If we are not the opponent of the big turtle and we try to destroy the sacrifice at this time, the big turtle will become angry and will only kill more people.
In this case, it is better not to save him. "
Although these words are cruel, the sacrificial ceremony in front of us has indeed maintained the stability of the local area to a certain extent, preventing the big turtle from making trouble and attacking the people along the river.
Therefore, although human sacrifice is cruel, it sacrifices a small number of people as sacrifices, but preserves the safety of the vast majority of people.
For weak and powerless mortals, this is the only way they can think of.
Shen Yan also understood this, so he didn¡¯t say more.
The goddess on the altar continued to dance her spiritual dance. As time slowly passed, a special rhythm spread toward Hanoi with the altar as the center.
¡°River God bless you!¡±
With a thud, the ebony staff in the goddess's hand fell heavily on the altar, and she shouted loudly towards the river.
The sound fades away.
After a moment of silence, something strange soon appeared.
Gululu!
Bubbles appeared in the center of the river. Soon the bubbles turned into cyclones, and the cyclones turned into whirlpools. It seemed that something at the bottom of the river was about to rise to the surface.
A huge shadow appeared at the bottom of the river.
It¡¯s just that the shadow didn¡¯t float up, it just swirled around the bottom of the river, constantly swimming away.
"Hurry, the River God has appeared. Give these sacrifices to the River God quickly, and then the River God will bless the ships to cross the river safely."
When the goddess on the altar saw the shadow, she shouted excitedly and directed the people under the altar to come up, grab the four boys and girls, and prepare to throw them into the river.
The four boys and girls were restrained by spells and their bodies could not move at all.
They were grabbed by eight strong men respectively and raised high, with fear in their eyes. However, no one present cared about their fate.
Since they were bought as sacrifices, the fate of these four people has been determined.
Sacrifice to the river god is their only value.
While these people were carrying the sacrifices, Lu Li naturally noticed the appearance of the big turtle.
Dharma eyes look far away.
Lu Li's gaze instantly passed through the river water and fell on the shadow at the bottom of the river.
It was a big black turtle, huge in size, about thirty feet long and twenty feet wide, almost as big as a giant ship.
With such a size, it is no wonder that it can make waves in the water and cut off the river.
"Sir, the big turtle has appeared."?
Shen Yan also noticed the emergence of demonic energy. After sensing it for a while, he couldn't help but look solemn.
The spiritual sense of the monks is very sensitive, and they also have Qi interaction, so if the other party does not deliberately hide it, then the first time they see each other, they can detect the reality of each other.
At this time, he sensed Da Ao. The other party's aura was thick and strong, and his demonic power was like an abyss, hard to see the bottom. He was far superior to him.
"If we are facing each other, even if I lead all my colleagues to surround and kill him, I'm afraid it will be difficult to kill this big turtle."
Having judged this, Shen Yan could only place his hope on Lu Li next to him.
This Immortal Master Lu had already killed demon tigers and demon cultivators before, both of which were no less impressive than Da Ao.
If the Immortal Master takes action, he should be able to get rid of Da Ao.
Lu Li is also considering it.
This big turtle has a lot of cultivation. Ghosts have a long lifespan. If this big turtle has such a size, it must have been practiced for thousands of years.
A thousand years down the line.
Even if the demon can only be ignorant and groping for cultivation methods, and the efficiency is not high, it can still accumulate an unknown amount of powerful mana.
And these are only secondary.
The most important thing is that Da Ao is hiding in the river, but Lu Li is not proficient in water magic.
"That big turtle is in the water and has a good location. We need to find a way to bring it to the shore. Then I will take action to eliminate it."
Lu Li looked up at Shen Yan and said slowly.
"I wonder how sir are going to lure the big turtle ashore?"
Shen Yan felt something was wrong.
"This matter requires the help of Fellow Daoist Shen and other fellow Daoists."
Lu Li looked at Shen Yan, then at the expressionless ghosts and gods around him, and slowly said his plan: "Lu would like to ask fellow Taoists to attack Da'ao first, and then show weakness and pretend not to be afraid." The enemy is preparing to withdraw and lead the big turtle to the shore. As soon as it leaves the water, Lu can kill it. I wonder if you fellow Taoists are willing?"
? ? ? ? ? ? ? Actually.
Pretending to show weakness is just a euphemism. In Lu Li's view, the gods such as Shen Yan in front of him were no match for that big turtle.
But that¡¯s exactly what happened.
Let them go up to deal with Da Ao, and the defeat will be more realistic, because they can't beat him in the first place, so there is no pretense.
With this bit of authenticity, there is a chance to make the big turtle relax its vigilance and lead it to the shore.
This is the core of the entire plan.
One word, true.
And if this plan is to be implemented, Shen Yan and the others must cooperate.
Are they willing to cooperate?
