Chapter 49: Fighting in a group and starting to argue aggressively!
The person who was speaking was Mr. Wang, a wealthy businessman in the town. He had earned a considerable fortune by growing, making and selling tea. Although he was the richest man in the town, he was also a well-known wealthy family in the town.
The person who asked for help from the Immortal Gate was none other than Mr. Wang, because among the missing young men was the young master of Mr. Wang's family.
Mr. Wang had two sons. After his eldest son got married, he moved out and set up his own family because of family discord. Therefore, Mr. Wang especially doted on his youngest son.
The land, tea fields, shops, and farms were all left to the youngest son. Even the farm given to the youngest son had a hot spring. The youngest son suddenly disappeared while he was soaking in the hot spring.
No criminals broke in and the servants didn't notice anything unusual. The person just disappeared mysteriously, and Mr. Wang fainted in panic.
Afterwards, Mr. Wang learned that it was not only his youngest son who had disappeared mysteriously, but also the sons of several other families.
At first, Mr. Wang did not suspect that the disappearance of his youngest son was related to the river god they had always believed in.
It was not until more and more young men disappeared mysteriously that Mr. Wang began to suspect that his son had been captured by the river god.
The more Wang Yuanwai thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. At first they offered sacrifices of poultry and animals to the river god, and later they offered sacrifices of women and baby girls. It was possible that the river god was not satisfied with the sacrifices, so he personally abducted the sacrifice he liked.
His unlucky son was noticed by the river god!
But most of the people in the town did not believe what Mr. Wang said.
Even if some people believed it, on the one hand, he was a missing young man from another family, and on the other hand, he was the god they had always believed in. Some people even said, "It is a blessing your son has earned in several lifetimes to be favored by the river god."
Mr. Wang recounted the story of his youngest son's disappearance. At the end, his voice choked, his body trembled, he was out of breath, and he almost fainted again.
When Wang Yuanwai's wife heard the news, she also rushed over, wiping her tears with a handkerchief and crying uncontrollably.
It should have saddened the person who heard it, but it angered the fortune teller nearby.
Ever since the people began to believe in the river god, the witch's status in Wucha Town has almost surpassed that of the mayor of the town. Naturally, she is not afraid of Mr. Wang and his wife, even though the Wang family is a wealthy family in the town.
A shrill voice roared and scolded: "Mr. Wang, Madam Li, there are some things you can't say! Can you two afford to anger the river god?"
Madam Li became anxious upon hearing this and started to angrily retort, "You old witch! The missing one is not your son! Oh, that's right, you don't have a son so you can't stand seeing others have sons!"
"How many lives have been killed by you! You even didn't spare babies! Do you have a conscience? What river god! If it was really a river god, my poor son wouldn't have disappeared!"
When Yu Xingwu heard this, she knew that Madam Li was a sensible person.
The witch was so angry that she started fighting with Mrs. Li.
She was still shouting, "You wicked woman! How dare you speak nonsense and disrespect the river god! I, the fairy, must teach you a lesson on behalf of the river god!"
Seeing his wife and the witch fighting with each other, Mr. Wang immediately got up from the ground and was no longer dizzy.
She shouted angrily with full force: "Bah! The immortals are here, and you, a dead witch, dare to call yourself an immortal! Why don't you take a piss and look at your bark face!"
"Come here! Guards! Kill this old witch! Let her bully my wife! Beat her to death with sticks! Beat her hard!"
When the witch saw the Wang family guards rushing over, she became panicked.
She shouted to the people around her: "What are you still standing there for! Can't you see they are going crazy? Surround them quickly! Capture them all!"
The scene was in chaos for a moment.
There is a strict ban in the world of immortal cultivation that cultivators are not allowed to fight with mortals, and are not allowed to harm mortals for any reason.
No matter how powerful Sword Master Fengchen and the Third Elder were, they were unable to release their pressure at this moment.
They can't fight, and neither of them is the type to stop a fight. What's more, the two groups of people in front of them are already fighting like crazy, so who would listen to you trying to stop them?
Yu Xingwu was not a virtuous woman. If she didn't use her spiritual power to stop the fight, she was really afraid that someone in the melee would get too excited and hit her hard with their strong hands.
Then she is a complete scapegoat and has suffered a great loss!
Fortunately, at this time an old man with a bent back and a white beard came over panting, leaning on a crutch in one hand, followed by twenty or thirty strong men.
"Stop! Everyone, get out of here! Go! Go and pull them apart!"
Soon, the strong men pulled apart the two groups of people who were fighting each other.
"Beat you! You only know how to beat you! This has happened for the nth time. You want to piss me off to death. When I die, you will be the mayor!" As soon as the old mayor spoke, Mr. Wang and his wife, as well as the witch, all shut up.
Although the mayor is old, he still has a very high prestige. The old mayor has made an indispensable contribution to Wucha Town becoming a well-known tea town.
"Masters, I have something to ask you. My name is Liu, and I am the mayor of this town. Masters, I believe you already know what happened in this town. I hope you can help me!"
Fengchen Sword Master nodded slightly, then set his eyes on the witch, and said in a cold tone: "Tomorrow is the fifteenth day, and you are just selecting the woman who will be sacrificed."
The witch was very arrogant before, but when she felt the cold gaze of Sword Master Fengchen, she couldn't help swallowing, cold sweat broke out on her palms, and even her legs went weak.
The witch keeps calling herself a fairy, but she knows clearly in her heart that she is nothing in front of the immortal master. She is only showing off because of the trust of the people.
The immortal masters in front of her were the real immortals. She called herself an immortal lady in front of them, which was just like sticking a green onion in a pig's nose - pretending to be stupid!
At the same time, he was also afraid of being exposed, and even more afraid that the river god was not the river god! Then she's doomed!
I could only bite the bullet and say, "Yes, the first and fifteenth day of every month is the day for the town to offer sacrifices to the river god. After receiving the sacrifices, the river god will protect the people in the town. I do all this for the people in the town!"
"Those men who mysteriously disappeared have nothing to do with me! I know nothing!"
Yu Xingwu was delighted when she heard this. This fraudulent fortune teller cleared herself of all charges with just one sentence.
One of them couldn't stand it and went up to him and said in a domineering tone: "Why is it okay? Weren't you just selecting women to be sacrificed? Their lives are not lives?"
"And the women and baby girls who were thrown into the river before, weren't they all killed by you? It was also your idea to offer sacrifices to the river god, right?"
"And what about the river god? Have you seen it with your own eyes? If it is really a river god, it can protect the people in the town. Where was the river god when the storm destroyed the town before? Why didn't the river god protect you?"
"You take a haunted demon as the river god. In my opinion, you are just a lackey of that demon!"
