Chapter 2337: Harming Heaven and Earth
This sedan chair carried out, the crowd will be talking, only to hear a person behind the whispered: "really poor ah, this girl is the village of East Pudding Zhang old man's daughter, the year square two eight, is the age of the flowers, will be sacrificed to the Lake Dragon King, this girl is really handsome, ten miles eight villages can not be found in such a good-looking girl, I do not know that the old Taoist masters why Favored her, and let this girl do what the Virgin, this is not harming people well ……"
"Who said not it, usually we also sacrifice the lake dragon king, just some pig samples and so on food, although there is silver, but which this year so much, the whole 10,000 taels of snowflake silver, this is not all thrown into the lake hit the water? And this year is even more special, even sacrificed a woman to, this girl I have seen, long is really water, Zhang old man can be so a single seedling, if sacrificed to the lake dragon king, and let the old man after how to live ah?" Another person also not without regret said.
"Well well well …… you guys stop talking, these Taoist masters but all have great magical powers, since they said to sacrifice the holy maiden, there must be a reason, old man heard one of my cousin nephews in Shenlong County Yamen said, those Taoist masters have said that this year, if they don't sacrifice enough silver and a beautiful woman to the Lake Dragon King. Then the Lake Dragon King is going to send down a calamity with our Shenlong County, and when that time comes, you won't be able to say so and so." Another person said.
Hearing someone behind them discussing this matter, Wu Feng and Zhou Ming both turned their heads back, seeing that the people behind them were three old men, Zhou Ming couldn't help but be curious, so he asked in a low voice and respectfully, "Elderly men, our brothers are passing through, and we just happened to come across the people of your county sacrificing to the King of the Lake Dragon, so we came over to watch the fun, how do you sacrifice the Holy Maiden to the King of the Lake Dragon, how do you do it? I'd like to thank you for your help. I implore you old gentlemen to enlighten me."
"This you can not see, the so-called sacrifice of the Virgin is that the girl will be placed on the boat full of gold and silver, the boat is below the holes, waiting for the boat to drift to the center of the lake, wear inside the irrigation of water is almost the same, the boat full of gold silver and the girl will be sunk to the bottom of the lake, this is the sacrifice to the King of the Lake Dragon." An old man said in a deep voice.
Wu Feng and Zhou Ming exchanged a look with their eyes, each other heart to heart, it seems that these old Taoists are really not serious people, it is obvious that they are seeking wealth and harming people's lives, before the two of them master and brother said, if it is only seeking wealth, they will not intervene in this matter, but if it is harming people's lives, then they have to be in charge of it.
"Then ask a few old gentlemen, you Shenlong County invited these several Taoist masters can be from the Wudang Mountain down? I heard that Wudang Mountain is a famous sect, and it is filled with people of high cultivation, so they shouldn't come down to do this kind of spell for the people, right?" Wu Feng asked tentatively.
"Who knows, I heard rumors that these Taoist Masters were invited down from Wudang Mountain, whether it's true or not, I can only ask the County Magistrate." An old man replied.
"In my opinion, to offer sacrifices to the Lake Dragon King, only some pigs, sheep, melons and fruits or something like that would be enough, so why do we need to jeopardize people's lives? This Lake Dragon King is already ranked in the Immortal Class, so how could he look at an ordinary peasant woman? Obviously is to let the woman and let the lake to drown, so I'm afraid to do some harm to heaven and earth, right?" Zhou Ming said with some disdain.
