Chapter 303: Little God Spares Life
[Great, it turns out that this bad Taoist priest was responsible for all this! ]
[In order to achieve immortality, he deliberately sought out young boys and girls to offer as sacrifices.]
[He did this not only in Hejia Village, but also in other villages.]
[Encourage others to sacrifice their children every two months! ]
[How hateful.]
[The child was sent downstream by a bamboo raft. After the child sank into the river, the bad Taoist priest sent someone to take the child away.]
[There is no such thing as a river god. He made it all up! ]
Only then did Lu Li finish eating the whole melon.
There is indeed a "water monster" in the river, but it is not the river god as people think.
That is an elephant that has not yet awakened its intelligence.
He didn't live here originally, but the villagers here fed him food every now and then, and he thought it was a gift from God.
If you live here, there will always be delicious food falling from the sky, so you might as well stay here and not leave.
Lu Li: ...
What a glutton!
If you get caught, your life might be in danger.
However, the most urgent task is not to catch the elephant, she has to expose the evil Taoist priest first.
The black-robed old Taoist wielded the peach wood sword in his hand, and after performing a ritual, he said in a deep voice: "Send the immortal child away, offer sacrifice to the river god! The immortal gate is open, and good fortune is coming!"
The people looked at the bamboo raft gradually sinking into the water and knelt on the ground, begging the river god to bless them with good weather and good harvest.
Lu Li knew that the child next to her was truly confused and would surely die if he sank into the river.
So he controlled the water and sent him back to the shore.
The villagers of Hejia Village on the shore were all dumbfounded. They saw a column of water suddenly gushed out of the river, carrying He Shuan back to the shore.
"Master, what's going on?"
The villagers panicked.
"There's something wrong with this kid. The river god doesn't want him. Change him." The old Taoist in black was also shocked.
After so many years of cheating, this was the first time he encountered such a situation.
"Who should we change?" The villagers became nervous.
Only He Shuan's father, He Daniu, had a happy look on his face.
That’s great! The river god doesn’t want his son to serve him, so his son can survive.
Lu Li couldn't stand it anymore and directly controlled the water to push herself up high.
She stood on the water column and raised her hand to draw a bolt of lightning to strike the old Taoist in black robe.
"How dare you, the evil Taoist, talk nonsense and mislead people!" She imitated the voice of the old Dragon King and shouted harshly.
Everyone present was shocked.
The old Taoist in black robe didn't have time to dodge the thunderbolt, but he was able to fool people outside for so long, so he did have some skills.
Although he didn't escape, he still managed to save his life.
His whole face turned dark and his hair stood up.
The whole person looks wolfish and funny.
"You shameless old Taoist priest, you have deceived the people and killed countless children. Today is the day you die." Lu Li touched his non-existent beard, trying to make himself look more dignified.
But her little red face looked quite funny.
The secret guards nearby bit their lips hard to prevent themselves from laughing out loud.
The people were shocked and immediately knelt down to beg for mercy.
"God, please spare my life. God, please spare my life."
After Lu Li said this, another bolt of lightning came from the sky, directly killing the old Taoist in black robe.
The old Taoist in black robe didn't even have the time to utter his confession before he turned into a ball of black ash.
When the people saw this scene, they trembled with fear.
The village chief and his wife were so frightened that their legs went limp.
"Little God, please spare my life. Little God, please spare my life."
"Don't believe these shameless lies anymore. Real gods don't need human lives to be sacrificed. Please don't make this mistake again!" Lu Li urged the people with a stern face.
"I don't dare, I don't dare."
"Little fairy, we will never do this again."
The people kept kowtowing to Lu Li.
Lu Li waved her hand, the water column disappeared, and she fell into the river.
Ripples appeared on the surface of the river, but there was no trace of Lu Li.
The secret guards were all shocked.
Princess, this is too sudden. What should they do next?
Do you want to go down and rescue them?
Don't let the princess fail to rescue them and then have to trouble the princess to rescue them.
"Help him! What are you standing there for?" Meng Shanchuan and others rushed over and saw this scene. They urged the guards to go down to the river to rescue the people in a heart-wrenching manner.
Something had happened to the Ninth Princess, and even if they all died as a token of apology, it would not be enough to appease the Emperor's anger.
"Brother Meng, don't worry. Miss Nine is a lucky person." Chuyi had to show up to remind her.
Meng Shanchuan had never seen the magical powers of the Ninth Princess, so he naturally didn't know that it was others who were in danger after the Ninth Princess went into the water.
"Yes, Brother Meng, let's wait a while. Miss Nine should be sent back soon." Qu Fufeng also stepped forward and patted Meng Shanchuan on the shoulder.
The last time he went out to sea, he saw the Ninth Princess playing in the water.
The Ninth Princess can handle the boundless and unfathomable sea, let alone this small clear river.
Meng Shanchuan:?
He knew that the Ninth Princess was very powerful, but he wondered if the two adults were too confident.
You have to pretend at least, otherwise what will you do if the emperor causes trouble for you later?
"Let's look for him. If you can't find him, come up first. Don't risk your life." Meng Shanchuan instructed the guards to go down to the river to look for him.
At this moment, Lu Li has sunk to the bottom of the river.
Maybe it was because she had been a kinki for too long in her previous life, or maybe it was God's compensation for having struck the wrong person, but even though she was now a mortal, she could breathe freely in the water.
She sank to the bottom of the river and found a clam shell that was glowing faintly.
She pried open the shell and crawled inside.
Inside the clam shell are luminous pearls of different sizes, which make the inside as bright as day.
Inside were piled up the offerings that the people had just made for the sacrifice.
At this time, a three-year-old child with big ears, red eyes and very long arms was holding a pig's head and gnawing on it.
Wang Xiang was stunned when he found someone breaking into his home.
"Who are you?"
He stared at Lu Li blankly.
This was the first time someone came to his house.
"I am the ninth princess of Daxia, Lu Li." Lu Li introduced herself politely.
"Oh. Do you want to eat it? This is delicious." Wang Xiang swung his long arm and tore the pig's head into two halves.
He gave the uneaten half to Lu Li.
"No, I don't like eating this. It's not delicious." Lu Li shook her head.
Wang Xiang became unhappy when he heard this. He looked at Lu Li angrily, and his eyes became even redder.
"This is delicious, the best thing in the world!"
Lu Li looked at him with sympathy.
What a kid who has never seen the world.
"You've had too few good foods before, so you think this tastes good."
Wang Xiang got angry.
"What are you doing in my house? I don't welcome you. Go away."
"I'll take you to eat all kinds of delicious food. Such as braised pig's trotters, pearl dumplings, all kinds of delicious food." Lu Li smiled sweetly.
She wanted to take the elephant away.
Otherwise, with his intelligence level, he would be discovered and caught sooner or later.
Wang Xiang was good at finding things, and people would ask him to help find things that fell into the river.
Legend has it that eating his meat will bring good luck.
If he is caught by those bad guys, he will be in trouble.
