Chapter 34 Sacrificial Ceremony
Lu Xiu looked down, his eyes passing through the layers of clouds and the temple, reaching the bottom of the Chujiang River at the bottom of the temple.
The metaphor of the heavy silt layer at the bottom of the river shows decaying bones and residues, and the upper layer is mostly livestock.
I don’t know how many years have accumulated after layer by layer.
The ritual of worshiping the river god in Yujia Village has been passed down for hundreds of years.
The rumor was that the strong winds and waves in the Chu River were difficult to calm down. People in Yujia Village thought that this was the angry god of Jiang, so they wanted to calm the anger of Jiang God and began a sacrificial ceremony.
During the sacrifice, people in Yujia Village used grains, fruits, fish harvests, and livestock.
But the storm in Chujiang did not calm down at all.
Until the Yujia Village sent a woman into the river, the storm of the Chu River calmed down instantly, and the fishermen were able to catch fish normally and had abundant fish catches.
As for the truth, it has long disappeared into the long river of history.
.........
Yujia Village has a long history and even has several extremely prosperous periods.
And these prosperity and longevity are all built on the vast bones at the bottom of the river.
Lu Xiu could even see the millions of resentful souls circling under the temple and unable to leave. His hands were stretched out from the mud like evil ghosts, and he wanted to climb up the water with his teeth and claws.
It's dense and terrifying!
Lu Xiu shook his head and sighed:
"It's not yet time for you to be born."
As Lu Xiu finished speaking, the resentful souls at the bottom of the river disappeared one after another, leaving only the bones and the fish that were foraging.
There were more and more fish in the river, rushing to eat Luojiang's offerings in groups. Lu Xiu knew it in his heart. No wonder he heard that the fish catches in Yujia Village were always higher than other river areas in his previous life.
Countless river fish are building nests in this river channel.
Perhaps hundreds of years ago, the fish were chewed here
I just don’t know what people in Yujia Village feel when eating fish?
Shaking his head, Lu Xiu's eyes began to search quickly at the bottom of the river, and soon he found a suitable target.
This is a catfish.
It is huge, like a pig, far more than a normal fish.
The catfish are fierce. No matter how the fish around them compete for food, no fish dares to approach this huge catfish.
There are countless bones piled up at the bottom of the river beneath the catfish. It must have grown so amazingly because of the years when eating sacrifices and carrion under the temple.
The appearance of the temple is somewhat similar to the catfish at the bottom of the river.
"Jiang Shen?"
Lu Xiu's eyes fluttered.
Since the people in Yujia Village believe that there is a river god in Chujiang, he will help them create a river god.
It’s just that it’s a god or a demon, it’s hard to say.
Hopefully, don't scare them then!
Lu Xiu sneered, then pointed his finger, and a mysterious light came down from the sky and broke into the huge body of the catfish!
The catfish were originally gnawing at the bottom of the river. They were fierce by nature and raised large silts of mud and dust at the bottom of the river.
All the fish are far away.
But suddenly, the catfish's huge body twisted suddenly became abruptly.
One second, two seconds, more than ten seconds passed in a row, and the catfish at the bottom of the river still stopped moving as if they were dead.
The surrounding fish became unrestrained and began to flock to the catfish's territory, quickly plundering food.
A river fish was grabbing food from the catfish's mouth, quickly tearing the carrot that had not yet been eaten. Just as the river fish was having fun, it saw a pair of scarlet fish eyes!
The catfish woke up!
His eyes were scarlet and his body was filled with a violent and raging aura. The fish were shocked and quickly fled towards the distant river area.
The catfish's huge mouth covered with sharp teeth suddenly opened, swallowing the river fish in front of him in one bite, and then the unsatisfied catfish looked at the fish and carrion in the distance.
The giant tail swung, and the whole body rushed out of the water like a missile, splashing layers of mud.
The giant mouth kept swallowing all the food that could be seen in front of him, and the catfish's body began to grow rapidly. After all the food under the temple was swallowed by it, the catfish's body had grown to the size of a car!
Moreover, his eyes were blood red, his beard was floating like a dragon's whisper, and sharp bone spurs grew on his back and around him. On his originally smooth skin, layers of scales like river fish began to grow.
The scales shine with cold light.
The catfish is like an armed giant beast at this time!
There was no food under the temple, and the catfish even ate all the carrion buried in the mud at the bottom of the river, and then turned their blood-red eyes to look at the distant river area.
The Chu River is vast and open, and there are many creatures in the river.
There is also a lot of food.
The catfish's blood-red eyes stared at the distant river field, and its huge tail swung, causing undercurrents to surge.
Then, like a missile with a cold light, it rushed out of the bottom of the river below the temple, causing a huge wave, and even destroyed the buildings at the bottom of the temple, making a roar.
The villagers singing and dancing by the river vaguely heard a loud noise, but the singing and dancing sound was too loud, and the night was dark, so the source of the sound could not be found.
Then he started singing and dancing again.
On the dark river surface in the distance, the catfish had a crazily feast on it and its size increased again. At this time, it floated on the river surface like a deep sea monster!
The catfish's blood-red eyes also stared at the singing and dancing village in the distance.
With a swing of his huge tail, the huge figure disappeared from the river, leaving only the waves violently surging.
————————————
The day after Zhong Wenhai arrived in Antu City, he quickly entered the working mode.
At this time, he was looking at the strange species imprisoned in the Antu City Research Office. These species were temporarily named "Demon" by the Alliance.
In addition to the few demons who were killed directly on the spot, the laboratory also imprisoned four living demons.
In addition to the blood corpse and human-faced weasel that were initially captured, there is also an eight-eyed spider that is as big as a millstone, which has the ability to seduce people's hearts and weave webs, and a zombie that looks like a mummy.
Neither of these two demons are good people. After their birth, they caused several deaths. Their capture also consumed countless manpower and material resources of the guards.
Zhong Wenhai frowned and looked at the four demons in front of him.
I only looked at pictures before, but it was indeed not as impactful as I visited on site.
The four creatures, none of them are normal species, all of them have never appeared in the world, and their appearance and abilities are more weird and cruel than the other.
It's indeed like the demon recorded in the information!
Standing in the glass of the detention room, Zhong Wenhai frowned and finished looking at the four demons.
Just as Zhong Wenhai was about to look through the information, the four demons who were originally a little depressed in the detention room opened their strange eyes one after another.
Then he struggled wildly and howled!
This move scared all the researchers behind the glass and retreated one after another.
The guards guarded around quickly stepped forward with guns to protect themselves. The guards wearing combat mechas in the distance also quickly walked forward and stood in front of everyone.
Fortunately, the demon stopped for a moment and became the initially depressed.
"Why are you suddenly going crazy?"
A researcher muttered.
Chapter completed!
