Chapter 306: The River God Marries 4000)(2/2)
Yang Wanli said quickly.
"Then let's cross the river first and talk about it when we get there."
Wu Liang nodded.
…
About an hour later.
Wu Liang and others have reached the cliff on the other side of the river.
Although everyone no longer mentioned the giant thing they saw in the river, this thing still cast a layer of haze on this grave-digging trip, and they felt a little more uneasy.
So when we just crossed the river.
Yang Wanli also specifically asked the local boatman on the ferry about the giant thing in the river.
I really learned something after asking about it.
The local boatman told him that there was indeed a river god living in the river. During drought seasons, Shandu City would organize the people to select a young girl to marry the river god, and then prepare many sacrificial supplies and throw them into the river to worship the river god.
And this river god is also responsive.
Every time the bride and sacrifices are collected, within a month, there will be heavy rains to help the people harvest crops.
Some people in Shandu City have also seen the River God with their own eyes.
If the river god smiles at someone, he has taken a liking to that person. As long as he sacrifices this person to the river god, his family will be able to have everything go smoothly and have good fortune. This is a blessing from heaven.
Do not disobey the river god...
"Yang Wanli, do you have any family?"
After hearing these rumors, Wu Liang looked at Yang Wanli with a smile.
He has never been interested in things like "river god's marriage", just like the "stake driving" incident that happened to Yin Jian's children when he first arrived in Chenliucheng. This kind of thing is simply a matter of some malicious people amassing money and harming others.
Means, if he really encountered it by chance, he would inevitably take action to punish him.
But Yang Wanli had already taken it seriously and said quickly: "Sir, although the river god smiled at me, I am a lonely person. Even if I were sacrificed to the river god, I am afraid no one can enjoy it."
This is a blessing from heaven, so it has fallen in love with me, but I don’t want to feed it yet. If it really wants to eat me, I will have to fight it to the death!"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Everyone laughed when they heard this, and the atmosphere finally became a little more relaxed.
However, Wu Liang could tell that Yang Wanli was still a little uneasy. After all, this was not a good sign for him.
Not only the ancients believed in "omens", but also later generations are not exempt from the custom. Many folk customs are to strive for a good omen, at least to make themselves feel more at ease.
In fact, even Wu Liang felt a little uneasy.
"The Smile of the River God".
This kind of thing is very weird, and there is an unknown public tomb here. Wu Liang will always unconsciously connect the two, even if it seems that there is nothing inevitable between the two.
contact...
But Wu Liang soon suppressed these uneasiness.
Then he took out the "Silkworm God Treasure Silk" that he carried with him, tied a very standard mountaineering knot on his body, then turned around and handed the other end of the "Silkworm God Treasure Silk" into Dian Wei's hands.
He had made a visual inspection just now and found that the hanging coffins on the cliff were about tens of meters high from the top of the cliff, so the length of the "Silkworm God's Treasure Silk" should still be sufficient.
"Sir, are you trying to..."
Dian Wei realized something in an instant, and quickly stood in front of Wu Liang and said sternly, "Sir, you must not put yourself in danger. You'd better ask me to go down and check!"
"With your physique, do you think anyone here can pull you?"
Wu Liang asked back.
"this……"
Dian Wei was speechless for a moment, but quickly said, "Then ask Yang Wanli to go down."
"Yes, yes, if you want to check those hanging coffins, you'd better let me go down. I am also a person with special skills now. I can handle this small matter by myself. There is no need for the young master to do it himself."
Yang Wanli finally came to his senses and quickly stepped forward to volunteer.
"What are you doing?"
