King of Assassins

Bai Cangjiang, Biyue Bay.

Therefore, it is called Biyue Bay because the Baicang River is turning a big bend, and the river water hits a piece of fertile land at the turn.

This piece of land looks like a crescent moon. It was originally covered with green wormwood, but from a distance, it was green, and it was called Biyue Bay.

With more and more impact silt, Biyue Bay is getting bigger and bigger. The fertile land here also attracts a large number of people.

In less than two hundred years, Biyue Bay has gathered more than 100,000 people to form Biyue Township.

This elegant-sounding name is actually farmers who live in food.

However, living on the banks of the Baicang River must enshrine King Jinlin.

Every year on March 3rd, King Jinlin's birthday, five pairs of virgin boys and girls will be presented.

At the beginning, the farmers in Biyue Bay were still unwilling. It was flooded that year. Not only did the crops that were planted failed to harvest, but hundreds of people were also drowned. More than a thousand people starved to death because of the lack of grain harvest.

After this lesson, the peasants of Biyuewan have also learned to be smart. They make offerings on the fifteenth day of each month, and prepare five pairs of virgins early on the birthday.

Not only Biyue Bay, but also the large rural market towns on both sides of the Baicang River, all have to offer offerings to King Jinlin.

Every village market town has that kind of witch who can communicate with King Jinlin and convey the will of King Jinlin.

This kind of witch has a very high status among the people, and no one dares to mess with it.

King Jinlin has a huge influence on both sides of the Baicang River, and this influence even far exceeds that of the government.

No one here dared to say bad things about King Jinlin, and no one dared to disobey King Jinlin's orders.

After hundreds of years, it has become a tradition to worship King Jinlin. On the third day of March, there are even lively sacrificial ceremonies.

Playing gongs and drums, looking for theater troupes to act, and people setting up stalls to sell various small objects, snacks, etc., are a bit more lively than the New Year.

As for the sacrifice of ten virgins, no one cares except for their families.

On the third day of March this year, Biyuewan also held the Jinlin King’s birthday celebration as in previous years.

A large shed was erected near the river, and in the shed was a statue of the Jinlin King Paper Zha.

The frame of the statue is made of bamboo, with colored paper and gold foil pasted on the outside, it looks golden and majestic.

There is a long wooden confession in front of the statue, because it is used for years and months, the confession is all black marks burned by incense ash and charcoal fire.

There are various incense sticks in the pottery incense burner, in addition to pig's head, cow's head, sheep's head, various cakes and preserves, and other offerings.

Tens of thousands of people knelt down in front of the idol, chanting prayers under the command of the witch.

It's impossible for so many people to be neat, the scene looks messy, that is, the small group of people in front can barely keep up with the witch's command.

On the side of the testimony, ten virgins were placed in a closed bamboo cage.

These children are only five or six years old, and most of them are not sensible. It's just that there are so many people in front of me, and they are in a mess again with drums and gongs. Are there any familiar relatives around them, each of them pales with scared faces, and many children are crying.

Except for the children and relatives who are hiding in the side, weeping silently, at this time, no one cares about the life and death of a few children.

"The ceremony is over."

The witch screamed, and the squires in front also stood up, and the faces of a group of people were relaxed.

Kneeling on the ground and kowtow, chanting prayers, everyone did not dare to be too slack, and they had to be as serious as possible. For the pampered gentry elders, the sun knelt down for a long time, and sweat came out of his body.

The people in the back followed suit, and a group of people looked at the front eagerly. Although most people can see the idols, the rest can only look at the back of others' heads.

The witch in a five-color dress is very excited, and this day of the year is when she shows her most face.

Everyone must kneel at her feet and listen to her instructions. There was a smug smile on her skinny, skinny face, and her old eyes, which were all covered by droopy eyelids, shone.

The witch pretended to recite a lot of spells that no one understood, which was actually made up by herself.

Only when King Jinlin is particularly dissatisfied or satisfied, will he contact her proactively. The witch could not contact King Jinlin. However, this does not prevent her from pretending.

The squires were not stupid, and they all saw that the witch was pretending to be a ghost. The problem is that this old woman can really get in touch with King Jinlin. She is willing to pretend to be her.

The witch bounced around for a while before the incense case, satisfying her strong desire for expression.

She raised her head and glanced at the sun in the sky. It was almost noon before she gave the order: "The time has come to offer sacrifices to King Jinlin."

A few brawny men came over, carrying pig heads and cattle heads and other offerings and dumped them into the river.

Following that, the brawny came to a few virgin men and women. They grabbed the bamboo cage and prepared to throw it into the river. The people in the audience exclaimed after seeing this scene.

In fact, they can see this scene every year, and the call is not so much shock as it is excitement.

In their simple thoughts, offering sacrifices to a few children in exchange for a year of good weather, this business is a good deal.

Therefore, most people regard this as a good thing, a lively and interesting thing.

Just when several big men were about to throw their children, a clear light fell from the sky, and Gao Xuan walked out of the clear light.

He said to several big guys: "Stop it."

Several big guys all glanced at Gao Xuan, with a sense of awe in their eyes. Falling from the sky, can it be a fairy?

The main reason is that Gao Xuan is handsome and unremarkable. The dark yellow fine linen robe is elegant, and there is a transcendent fairy demeanor no matter how you look at it.

The witch was also taken aback, and a nosy fellow popped up out of nowhere. Looks very uncomfortable again.

The witch courageously asked, "Who are you?"

"Gao Xuan, the heavenly master of Wuyuan Country." Gao Xuan's voice was low and clear, but it spread all over the place.

Tens of thousands of people huddled together, but they all heard Gao Xuan's words clearly.

Everyone was still discussing the identity of Gao Xuan enthusiastically, and no one said anything at this meeting.

Although this group of people are low-level farmers, illiterate and illiterate, they have no lack of survival wisdom. Just look at Gao Xuan's hand to know that the other party is powerful, how dare they dare to be presumptuous.

As for what the heavenly masters do, they don't actually understand.

Tens of thousands of people did not speak, and the scene fell silent. I dared not move the gongs and drums next to me.

The witch actually doesn't know what the heavenly master does. However, King Jinlin's birthday celebration should not be spoiled.

She said with an unhappy face: "No matter who you are, you can't disrupt the celebration. This is related to the life and death of more than 100,000 people in Biyue Bay."

She also said to the many elders in front of the squires: "You are still watching, speak quickly. King Jinlin is furious, and we all have to die."

Many squires are always embarrassed. There are a few people in this group who can read and read, and have a little knowledge. At least know what the heavenly master does.

It's just that you can't help but come out at this time.

A group of people stared at each other, and the leader Cai Changshui had to stand up. He was the head of the Cai family and the boss of the Biyuewan squire.

Because Cai has the largest family, more than 10,000 people. The strongest. So he became the head of the squire.

When Cai Changshui came, he bowed deeply to Gao Xuan: "Tianshi, celebration is our tradition. Please leave it alone."

Someone took the lead, and everyone else hurried forward, "Yes, Master Tianshi, we can't help it either."

"All for the people of Biyuewan..."

"Otherwise we can't live."

Everyone, you say me, the more you speak, the louder the voice, the more you speak, the more imposing.

Gao Xuan wanted to sigh. When sacrifices become a tradition, everything becomes a matter of course.

He pointed to the crying virgin men and women in the bamboo cage: "Use the lives of these children for your peace?"

Cai Changshui was a little embarrassed, although he didn't think there was anything wrong with this matter. But after being pointed out by the celestial master, it was a bit embarrassing after all.

He thought for a while and explained: "Heavenly Master, we are also forced by helplessness."

Gao Xuan asked, "Helpless, why don't your children come out to offer sacrifices."

Cai Changshui's face suddenly turned ugly, he almost scolded, but he still suppressed his anger and said: "Which child to sacrifice is decided by drawing lots. There is no favoritism."

Gao Xuan sneered, this kind of trick also deceived the ignorant villagers. Moreover, there is no need to argue on this matter.

He said: "No matter what traditions you have, starting today, you can no longer use any method to worship King Jinlin."

As soon as this statement was made, everyone's expressions changed drastically. Cai Changshui knelt down first. He wanted to cry but couldn't cry for a while, so he could only scream: "Heavenly Master, never, never..."

When everyone saw this, they all knelt down, crying and crying around Gao Xuan.

The witch even pointed at Gao Xuan and yelled: "Dare to be an enemy of King Jinlin, your death date is here..."

The witch said something cruel, and she didn't have the guts to do anything with Gao Xuan. She kept turning her eyes and saw a group of people below come up with an idea.

She shouted loudly: "This person wants to prevent us from offering sacrifices to King Jinlin, the big guy is coming soon..."

This sentence is so good that the people and villagers can't listen to it. Someone dared to stop at the celebration they worked so hard to hold.

Enraged King Jinlin, how are they still alive.

The witch aroused everyone with a single word, and a group of UU reading www.uukanshu.com rushed towards Gao Xuan with noisy. The scene just got out of control.

"set."

Gao Xuan spit out a magic spell casually, and everyone was set in place.

Tens of thousands of people became solid statues, and many people lost their balance and collapsed on the spot.

With so many people present, only the witch has not been anchored.

The witch stared at the tens of thousands of people who were still immobile, she was frightened. What magical power is this?

Just when the witch didn't know what to do, a rainbow light fell from the sky, and an old man in a black and white robe appeared out of thin air. This old way is Tao Jun, the national teacher.

Tao Jun saluted the head Gao Xuanji: "Tianshi, why are you doing this?"

Gao Xuan said calmly: "As a celestial master, it is my responsibility to kill demons and demons."

Tao Jun smiled bitterly: "The King Jinlin is from Beihai Dragon Palace, so I can't provoke him..."
