A few days left to Qianjian Peak. Hey, Shang Chi, look, what kind of sect is that?How do you wear fancy clothes?

At three o'clock in the afternoon, there were few pedestrians on the official road. Jiang Zhi was sitting on the horse without any shape, and he was listless. When he was drowsy, he saw a group of people wearing colorful long gowns coming on horseback. He instantly felt energetic and sat up.

I don't know either.Shang Chi narrowed his eyes and looked forward. Although he couldn't see the faces of those people clearly, he also saw the people who were dressed up happily and held swords. She had little travel to the world, but she had never heard of such a strange sect. At this time, as the group of people gradually approached, Shang Chi's face was full of novelty, and Zhirong behind him couldn't help but stretch out her head and look forward after hearing this.

This is not a sect in the world... This is the local custom of the river gods marrying.The speaker was behind them. Shang Chi and the others looked back and saw a young woman sitting on the ground with their faces lowered and leaning against the tree, her tone was cold and playful.

River God Marry?After hearing this, Shang Chi looked up at the distance in confusion, and his eyes were focused, and he vaguely saw five or six red wedding sedan chairs at the end.

Marriage is a happy event, why do they still have to hold swords?Jiang Zhi was also full of doubts. He had never heard of this custom. How could the River God marry?

Someone is called the River God. Could it be that he wants to get married to the River?

You outsiders don’t understand, they will be thrown into the river to cheer for joy.If it weren't for being forced to do so, who would be willing to marry the cold river?They held the sword just for fear that the brides would run away.The woman who was talking raised her head and had a ferocious face. She stared at the people in the distance with fierce eyes, wishing she could pounce on her and tear them apart immediately.

This is Jiangcheng, and the people in the city live on the river, but for some reason, people have disappeared on the water almost every day in the past year.The woman suddenly sneered and her eyes turned red. The stupid believers picked up the sacrifices from the previous dynasty again, and these brides were just sacrifices.

I advise you to leave as soon as possible. Two of you, such beautiful girls from other places, may be selected as sacrifices for next month.

Why do you tell us so much?Shang Chi frowned slightly. Jiang Zhi was already scratched his ears and cheeks by the woman's words. How could this person believe in something illusory as the River God!

If there is no such thing as me being merciful before I die, I just happened to go with her.The woman said as she reached out to touch the rusty kitchen knife behind her, staring straight at the getting closer and closer brides, all with the thought of looking at the death.

Zhirong tightened Shang Chi's waist and pressed it on her back as if she was scared. Although her eyes were sympathetic, she didn't say anything.

The woman stood up and walked towards the convoy in the distance without stopping. Seeing this, Shang Chi winked at Jiang Zhi. Jiang Zhi nodded clearly and slapped his horse and chased after him.

Those who dressed strangely to see off their brides came here with a fanatical expression. At the end, a row of men in red clothes were vigilantly staring at the sedan chair in front, and from time to time, they heard the sound of painful crying from the sedan chair. The women knew what they were about to face, and everyone held the red veil in despair and kept wiping their tears.

When the old lady dressed in the witch at the front saw the woman blocking the road, she immediately winked at the two big and round men beside her.

She knew this woman, but she was just a useless female scholar in the city. She failed to pass the exam for several years, and there was a mute beauty in her family willing to suffer with her.

The family is almost poor and cannot afford to lose money, and is unwilling to go to the river to make a living.

It was also her blessing that the River God chose that mute. He really didn’t know that the sky was high and the earth was thick. He wanted to come and rob the bride!

Just as the woman wanted to pull out the kitchen knife and pounce on her, suddenly the horse's hooves sounded behind her. Someone grabbed her back and lifted her up on the horse's back. Jiang Zhi glanced coldly at the two strong men who didn't dare to step forward, carrying the woman who was struggling and neighing desperately, and making way for the team behind.

You let me go, Zhilan, let me go, let me go.The woman kept struggling, and tears kept falling to the ground with red eyes. The wedding team was walking away little by little before her. The woman stretched out her hand to grasp the shadow of the team, but could only watch them disappearing from the corner helplessly.

Shang Chi came over and stopped holding the reins. She looked at the woman who was indulged in Jiang Zhi's horse and shook her head and asked, "If you die, how should she survive?"Stupid, since you want to save someone, don’t be impulsive.

Since you want to save her, then lead the way. We also want to see what this river god looks like when we get married.

Zhilan... The woman looked up and her tears blurred her eyes. For some reason, after listening to Shang Chi's words, she felt a faint hope in her heart. OK... I'll take you there.

Four people rode horses and followed the bride-sending team to a river with a high platform. This place is remote and even the fishing boats cannot see it. There are several thick stone pillars in the river standing in the center of the surging river. Across the bank is a majestic mountain. The bride-sentenced sedan chair who is sending brides in the sedan chair and forcefully pulled out the brides in the sedan chair, tied their hands and placed them on the altar. The entourages who sent brides and their followers completed their work and received rewards and left. The entire altar was left with the old lady and the eight guards of the divine servants.

The auspicious time has come, and the river god welcomes the bride!With the old lady's low and hoarse shouting, the two divine servants picked up the drumsticks beside them and beat the big drum on the lake. In an instant, the sound of the drums resounded through the river, and the echo of the drums could be heard rolling in the river.

Shilan!The woman wanted to get off the horse in panic and rushed up, but Jiang Zhi pressed her body down.If you don’t know how to fight, you will be lifeless if you pass.

I'll go, Jiang Zhi, please take good care of her two.

Shang Chi sighed lightly, shook his head, turned over and flew away to the riverside. She didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but she was really good at looking at the woman.

The brides on the river were forced to walk to the riverside. When the gods were about to push them into the river, they saw a red light flash and their arms were cut down together.

Before they could see clearly, they were wiped off their necks.

Are you not afraid of the river god getting angry?The witch took a step back in fear. She looked at the cold-looking girl in front of her, and raised her fingers to point at Shang Chi with trembling fingers.

I never believe in God. Shang Chi spoke coldly, then raised his hand and killed the witch with a sword. She shook the blood on her face and put the sword in the sheath to look at the brides who were fading beside her and said, "Let's go, it's better not to go back to Jiangcheng again."This kind of thing will happen again once. As long as this custom remains unchanged, they may be tied up in a sedan chair to "sacrifice to the gods" that day.

Who is Zhilan?There are people waiting for you in the woods over there.The brides hurriedly thanked and fled one after another. Only one bride stayed. She was surprised to hear Shang Chi call out her name. When she heard that someone was waiting for her, she was even more excited and lifted up the veil and ran over to the woods.

Shang Chi squatted on the ground and looked at the dead witch. She squinted her peach blossom eyes slightly. There was a necklace hanging on the necklace and the necklace and the collar that exposed silver corner made her look familiar. She stretched out her fingers and picked out the decoration inside. It was a small sign, exactly the same as the one she picked up in the woods last time!
