Chapter 126
"I have an idea in my mind. I think what the River God cares about is not choosing a bride, but using us as molds..."

You Li opened his eyes wide, unable to follow Yan Zhou's thoughts.

Organs… to molds.

Yan Zhou touched the bridge of his nose, his eyes suddenly becoming dangerous: "If it's as I guess..."

She stared at the cup that had just been filled with water, picked it up and shook it.

"The river god's ambition is not small... He said that this festival is to save the tribulation. The festival... is to use the lives of the entire village to resurrect his late wife."

"What an infatuation."

The last sentence, I don’t know whether it is a sigh or irony.

You Li rubbed his eyebrows and re-filtered the currently known clues in his mind, and finally discovered that what Yan Zhou said was not unreasonable.

If they choose a bride to prepare a body for Miao Miao, that means they want to resurrect her... But how easy is it to resurrect a person?

Thinking of the waterline that had gradually grown recently, the more he thought about it, the more chilled he became, especially when he thought that the people in the village were still immersed in the anticipation of tomorrow's festival.

In this case, are they still qualified to compete with this river god?

You Li suddenly understood why this secret realm failed repeatedly and ended up on the black market.

When she returned to the dormitory, Wusuduo had already fallen asleep in the cubicle. She had exerted too much physical energy during the day, and she had to send Yan Zhou to the festival early tomorrow, so she had to recharge her batteries.

Lying on the bed, Yan Zhou counted the remaining talisman papers, with a myriad of thoughts in his mind...

*
The moonlight was like syrup, and a cool breeze blew.

In the early morning, Qingshan Village is accompanied by the dimness of the morning, and the remaining trace of happiness is indifferent and distant. Under the mist, the entire village adds a mysterious color.

Yan Zhou was pulled up early in the morning. Wusu Duo first heated up hot water and gave her a bath like the first day, but it was much gentler than the first time.

After taking a bath, Wusuduo brought several young girls over. One was dressing up, while the other was squatting on the ground holding a special paintbrush with a plant scent, painting something on Yan Zhou's hand.

Yan Zhou lowered his head and saw some strange totems, with his fingers slightly curled.

This time the dress was much more exquisite than the first time. It was no longer a heavy luxury made of real gold and silver, but was embroidered with gold threads and had a bright red golden phoenix pattern.

It doesn't look like a sacrificial dress, but more like a wedding dress.

After two hours of dressing up, Yan Zhou looked at the mirror again, and Yan Zhou's eyes flashed with surprise.

The makeup girl's skills are very good, and she greatly magnifies the advantages of the original owner's facial features. Her snow-white skin, beautiful appearance, and splendid posture make her an unforgettable beauty.

Wusu Duo nodded with satisfaction: "I found her specially. She is the girl with the best skills in Qingshan Village. You will definitely be chosen!"

She had been with Yan Zhou for a long time, and she couldn't bear to see such a gentle and beautiful girl pass away, so she paid great attention to this makeup.

This girl looks very similar to Empress Miao Miao, so she has a high chance of being selected.

Yan Zhou raised his eyes.

They didn't know that she and Zhang Ke would enter the water at the same time...

It seems that only Aunt Wan and You Li know about it.

After leaving the door, Yan Zhou raised his head, noticed a large group of dark clouds gathering in the sky, and frowned.

"What's going on? When I looked at the stars yesterday... it shouldn't be cloudy."

Wusuduo was very confused.

"It's going to change."

Yan Zhou's tone was calm.

Sitting on the rickety sedan chair, Yan Zhou no longer felt relaxed at first, and his eyes were attracted by the gathering dark clouds in the sky from time to time.

If you look closely, there seems to be a flash of lightning inside, crackling to reveal the flamboyant tail.When she arrived at the scene, she saw the huge and gorgeous altar. Although it was a temporary installation, it was obvious that a lot of thought had been put into it.

There are colorful streamers with the characteristics of Qingshan Village on the altar, and cigarettes are curling on the altar. Everyone wears festive costumes, holds ritual vessels, and stands respectfully. The atmosphere is very grand.

The most eye-catching thing is the two pillars carved from solid wood, standing on both sides of the altar. On each pillar hovers a four-clawed creature that looks like a dragon or a lion. Its eyes are carved and bright, as if it is about to emerge from the altar at the next moment. Leap down from the pillar.

You Li also wore grand clothes today. He and Aunt Wan first knelt in the center of the altar, held incense in their hands, worshiped again and again, and then inserted them one by one on the incense burner in an orderly manner.

Afterwards, more than a hundred young and middle-aged men in animal skins and colorful short skirts danced to offer sacrifices with exaggerated expressions on the stage. Judging from the words and movements, they were probably telling the helplessness of the people of Qingshan Village when they encountered floods, and their piety after being rescued by the river god.

Yan Zhou suddenly sympathized with the first-generation priest who worked hard to build dams and water conservancy projects for Qingshan Village. All of his hard work was now thrown aside by the people in the village, who instead worshiped the river god who was the cause of the flood.

Sometimes, forgetfulness and silence are more terrifying than hatred.

You Li began to recite the sacrificial words, which were mostly about praising the river god... and so on.

Most of the procedures of the festival are very similar to the first time. The biggest difference is that the scale has expanded a lot, the momentum is huge, and it is quite solemn.

You Li: "...Please make it clear, sir."

After reading a long paragraph, his mouth was dry. He held the sacrificial words in his hands and knelt on the futon, waiting for the river god to choose his bride.

I couldn't help but curse in my heart.

He knew full well that two brides were selected at the same time, but he still had to go through the whole show.

The river was turbulent, forming a huge whirlpool in the center.

The water inside gradually rose and deformed, and turned into a big hand, pointing towards the positions of Yan Zhou and Zhang Ke.

The people at the scene looked over curiously.

I don’t know which bride it is.

I saw that the position pointed by the big hand was between the two girls.

What does it mean.

You Li was not surprised. He continued to perform the trick and shouted loudly: "My lord, I think the two brides to be chosen are of good character and appearance, so I entered the river temple together!"

Selected together? !

There was a sudden silence on the court.

I've only seen one person who wasn't selected before, but this is the first time I've seen them all.

Has the River God, who doesn’t like love and lust, changed his gender?

I thought so in my heart. After a few seconds of hesitation, the scene soon erupted into fierce cheers and blessings, all of which were celebrating the marriage of the River God.

You Li twitched the corners of his lips and gave a stiff smile: "Please——two ladies, get on the boat."

Zhang Ke was very excited and took the lead to walk towards the wooden boat for transport.

It feels like the baby is one step closer to me, and the 1000 million star coin reward is just around the corner.

The capacity of the wooden boat is very small, so Yan Zhou and Zhang took the boat separately.

Yan Zhou glanced at the water vapor that was rising due to the surge in the water just now, and slowly stepped into the boat.

As soon as she entered the wooden boat, she felt a special energy, as if she had entered the territory of a monster beast, and a sense of confinement followed.

The boatman swung his oars and approached the crystal clear container in the middle of the river. This was the place where they entered the river temple. Before them, only the bride of the first generation had entered.

The old boatman remembered that he was still a four-year-old child at that time, watching his grandfather transport the same young and beautiful girl into the crystal cage.
