Chapter 172 The Gate of the Spirit Sea
Then the middle-aged priest and the four most active big men were tied up by Zhuang Hong and thrown into the river.

Their splashes in the rushing water were no greater than those of others.

Zhuang Hong saw that the surrounding villagers were all stunned, so he explained: "Just now I heard that the river god said that he doesn't need a maiden sacrifice, and his taste is more tricky. He said that whoever proposes a living sacrifice will be thrown to him in the future." He, he will be able to keep you safe and sound every year.”

After finishing speaking, put two fingers together, and thought.

"Click!"

The sword case on the back waist slid away from the side, and two white lights flew out, gliding across the chains on the hands and feet of Qiao Darong and Alan.

"Dangdang!"

After a few crisp sounds, the tough chains broke one after another, and Qiao Darong and Alan regained their freedom.

Seeing this, the villagers bowed down to Zhuang Hong in horror, saying that the envoy would appease his anger.

Zhuang Hong was really too lazy to communicate with this group of ignorant villagers, and he didn't want to stay here for a long time. After taking back the flying sword, he walked over the crowd and left directly.

Seeing this, Qiao Darong immediately helped Alan up and followed Zhuang Hong.

After this incident, he no longer wanted to stay in this village, and he wanted to take Alan away.

At this moment, Alan's father shouted: "Alan, where are you going? Stop for me."

Alan trembled all over, but she didn't look back, and staggered away following Qiao Darong.

She has been completely disappointed in her relatives, and now the only ones who can give him a sense of security are Qiao Darong and Zhuang Hong who is walking in front.

She didn't want to stay in this beautiful but terrifying place any longer.

"If you leave today, I won't have this daughter!"

Qiao Darong couldn't help but turn around and shout angrily: "Get out, it's gone long ago! From today on, I, Qiao Darong and Alan, will no longer be surnamed Qiao, and will no longer have any relationship with Qiao Zhuang!"

A group of villagers were startled and angry, and wanted to rush forward to drive the rebellious Qiao Darong back, but they were afraid that Zhuang Hong, who was in front, would turn around and throw them into the river to feed the river god...

All I could do was watch Zhuang Hong and the three go further and further away.

At this time someone asked: "The priest was thrown into the river, do you still want to save him?"

Someone said in a low voice: "You still have to save the fart, save the priest, are you going down to feed the river god?"

After a word, everyone fell silent.

But the death of the priest made them deeply worried about the future. During this period of time, Qiao Zhuang has relied on priest Qiao to bully other surrounding villages. It would be terrible if they knew that priest Qiao was dead. up.

……

After Zhuang Hong left the village, he glanced to one side from the corner of his eye.

I saw a person quietly following them.

But Zhuang Hong ignored him, but just let it go temporarily, planning to see what the sneaky guy wanted to do.

Looking back at Qiao Darong behind him, he asked curiously, "Where are you going next?"

Qiao Darong was carrying Alan on his back, and followed Zhuang Hong step by step. He heard the words and replied: "I don't know, as long as you don't stay here, you can go anywhere. I want to take Alan to a place far away where no one knows us."

Zhuang Hong: "I see that the surrounding fields are not bad, and there is no sign of flooding. Why do the villagers hold live sacrifices?"

Qiao Darong was silent for a moment, gritted his teeth and said: "The sacrifice to the river god is held once a year. As for whether to use living people, it is up to the devil-like Priest Qiao to decide. No one dares to resist when he says to follow the instructions of the river god. Afraid of being thrown into the river. There are also many stupid people who believe that there is a river god in the big river, and that Priest Qiao is the spokesperson of the river god...

In fact, there is no river god at all, he is just using the name of the river god to control Qiao Zhuang, whoever dares not listen to him, he will openly throw the villagers into the river in the name of the river god. "

Zhuang Hong glanced at Alan who was lying behind Qiao Darong and asked, "How did she offend that Priest Qiao?"

Qiao Darong: "Master Qiao has taken a fancy to Alan and wants Alan to serve him, but Alan and I have already made a private decision for the rest of our lives. How can we agree to his beastly request? After several threats, he will throw Alan into the river." ...I tried several times, but I couldn't save Alan."

Speaking of this, Qiao Darong gritted his teeth with hatred, but at this time, Qiao Jishi was probably dead, and his hatred had no target to vent, he only felt a tightness in his chest.

He vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what went wrong.

Thinking of the villagers in Qiaozhuang again, I couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness in my heart.

Zhuang Hong nodded: "I see."

If the disobedient one is killed directly, other people will become very well-behaved after seeing it. He can do whatever he wants in the whole Qiaozhuang, but if someone wants to resist, he has to weigh the consequences.

Most importantly, Priest Qiao also possessed extraordinary power.

Zhuang Hong asked: "What is the water column that Priest Qiao released at you before? A spell?"

Qiao Darong asked in surprise, "Aren't you a rune master?"

Zhuang Hong shook his head: "No. Let's hear it, I'm very curious."

Qiao Darong was startled, isn't it possible that a rune master can possess such powerful power?
Unbelievable!

"I've also heard it from hearsay, and I don't know the details. It is said that there is a group of very mysterious people in the world who master the mysteries of magical runes and have the power to destroy heaven and earth.

Such a person is called a runemaster, but many people like to call a runemaster an oracle.

They think that the rune master is the spokesperson of the gods, the rune master is the tool for the gods to control the world, and those magical runes are the language used by the gods to communicate with the gods.

Except for Priest Qiao, I have never seen other rune masters, but from him, I didn’t see what a divine envoy should look like. I only saw his despicableness and greed, so I never thought a rune master was what Messenger of the gods.They are just ordinary people who are stronger.

It's a pity that I can't beat him, he defeated me with just one talisman. "

Zhuang Hong: "Where can I learn runes?"

Qiao Darong shook his head: "I don't know, I also want to learn runes to become a rune master and kill those bad scum. However, I heard that the 'Gate of the Spirit Sea' is the holy place for rune masters. I don't know if it is true or not. Where is the gate of Linghai, if you want to go, you can ask around."

Through simple communication with Qiao Darong, Zhuang Hong has a general understanding of the civilization of this world.

To put it simply, there are not many rune masters, and it is difficult for ordinary people to see rune masters, and even if they do, they may not be able to recognize them.

For ordinary people, rune masters are a group of powerful and mysterious people who not only possess great power, but also communicate directly with the gods and assist governments in various places to manage the world.

And Zhuang Hong heard from Qiao Darong's words that rune masters are actually a group of scholars who study the power of runes, and they not only need to invest a lot of time, but also consume a lot of resources.

As a result, some rune masters who are not wealthy rely on the major families to survive, relying on the support of the major families to continue to study runes.

Their goal, with a high probability, is to use runes to explore the mysteries of the world, to explore the mysteries of the universe, and even like immortal cultivators, they want to use runes to study how to obtain eternal life.

Like Priest Qiao, the talent is too low. After learning two or three talismans, there are not many people who go directly to the countryside to enjoy life.

Maybe it is this kind of people that the rune master group despises the most.

From the very beginning, Zhuang Hong met rune masters like Qiao Jishi, which made him not have a good impression of rune masters. He thought that these rune masters were all bad guys.

Actually not so.

Zhuang Hong secretly said: "This group of rune masters is a bit like the mysterious wizards in the fantasy world."

Suddenly, his heart was full of anticipation to communicate with the real rune master, and his thirst for knowledge was instantly raised to the highest level.

"What are runes? What are runes? What is their so-called source of power..."

What he cares most is whether he can gain stronger power after learning the runes!

Two hours later, the three of them came to the nearest town to Qiaozhuang. Zhuang Hong asked Qiao Darong, "We've already arrived in the town. What are your plans?"

Qiao Darong patted his belt, and said in a low voice: "Before I left, I sneaked into Priest Qiao's house and got some money. I don't have to worry about board and lodging in a short time. I plan to go to a farther place to learn a craft from a teacher. and then take Alan to find the gate of the spiritual sea, I also want to become a rune master."

Zhuang Hong smiled and said, "I wish you good luck."

In Zhuang Hong's view, the best chance to find the door to the spiritual sea and become a rune master is now.

If Qiao Darong really went as planned and found a place to learn skills and save money, there is a high probability that he would fall into the vortex of life and be unable to break free.

He will live an ordinary life with Alan, raise children, save money that will never be enough, and do things that will never be done, until one day he suddenly wakes up and wants to find the gate of the spiritual sea, only to find out I can't walk anymore.

The life of ordinary people is roughly the same.

But Zhuang Hong didn't say anything, after all, everyone has their own plans and choices.

There is no right or wrong.

Time will always pass slowly, and it will be over when it is over.

Wonderful or mediocre, it makes no difference.
