Chapter 17 Misunderstanding?
"Young man, please calm down."
Although the venue suddenly fell into an uproar, an old man holding a crutch soon walked out of the crowd.
Talk to Li Sheng on behalf of everyone:
"Just tell me what you want. We are willing to sit down and talk with you in detail. We must not hurt the Sea Priest."
Li Sheng also guessed that the masked man he was holding hostage was the so-called Sea Priest.
But it seems that I am really lucky.
The person held hostage seemed to have a high status, so he had the opportunity to negotiate.
Looking back now, my actions were too reckless.
I still don’t know the details and strength of these people.
Although he broke through to the sailor realm, according to his godfather, he became a second-level practitioner.
The strength is already extraordinary.
But after all, the opponent has a large number of people. If he is not careful, he may lose his whole life.
I only blame myself for being impulsive in a moment of righteous indignation when I saw them abusing children.
Unexpectedly, the sea priest who was held hostage by Li Sheng suddenly interrupted the conversation between the two:
"No need to negotiate with him!"
"The descendants of the Dragon King will not compromise with the evil... Even if I die, I will only return to the embrace of the Dragon King."
What surprised Li Sheng was , he originally thought that this sea priest had done such an unscrupulous thing.
He must be a treacherous person with a cunning and unpleasant voice.
Who knew it would be an extremely clear and beautiful female voice.
He sounded like he was in his early twenties.
The impressions of Li Sheng and Li Sheng are completely different.
“No, our clan has not had a candidate for Sea Priest for more than ten years. Finally, one has appeared, and there must be no more accidents!”
Li Sheng didn’t really want to Negotiating with them, he only turned around and pulled the ropes off the three children.
I want them to escape quickly.
As long as he lets them leave, he has no scruples and is not afraid of these ignorant and cruel people.
But what Li Sheng didn't expect was that after one of the children was untied, he immediately took a slender and sharp fish bone on the side and stabbed Li Sheng in the abdomen.
He also shouted:
"Let go of Sister Tang Yan!"
Li Sheng subconsciously blocked the fish bone in the opponent's hand.
But it made the other party take a few steps back and then fell to the ground.
Among the crowd, a man and a woman ran over and excitedly helped up the fallen child.
"Lu'er, are you okay?"
"This traitor is too hateful! Elder, let's go together and deal with him!"
At this time, Li Sheng's head No matter how slow he was, he seemed to notice something was wrong.
"Wait a minute...don't you want to use these three children as living sacrifices?"
The sea priest seemed to be very surprised and couldn't help but responded:
"These three children Children are still members of our clan, how can we use children as living sacrifices?”
Is this really just an error?
Li Sheng did not put down the dagger in his hand, but carefully asked a few more questions to confirm what they were doing just now.
Soon, Li Sheng learned from their mouths that they had just performed an extremely important ritual among the Dan people.
The cursed blood was injected into the bodies of these children with fish bones that had been used in special rituals.
At that time, they will be protected by the Dragon King, able to see in the water, and their breathing time in the water will be greatly improved.
Even a baby who can no longer swim can have greatly improved water properties.
Even when fishing, the wind is smooth and the harvest is abundant.
Hearing this, Li Sheng couldn't help but think of the results of the 'Fisherman's Realm' practice.
This ritual of the Dan people actually reaches a weakened version of the fisherman’s state.
It is so magical.
"But this monster you believe in..."
"Bold, you dare to call the Dragon King a monster!" Everyone in the tent couldn't help but want to skin Li Sheng. Remove the bones and feed them to the fish.
But the sea priest said very seriously:
“Foreigners, seeing that you are also a fisherman, can’t you even recognize the statue of the Dragon King?”
Li Sheng frowned and looked carefully.
The ferocious monster in front of me does indeed fit the characteristics of the Dragon King to a certain extent.
It has five claws and dragon scales and beards, but the shape is a bit too ferocious and terrifying, making people shudder.
But having said that, there is not just one kind of Dragon King.
Due to the geographical and cultural differences, it is reasonable to believe in a different Dragon King. It is no wonder that Li Sheng could not recognize this extremely strange-looking Dragon King.
But no matter what, Dragon King itself belongs to the Poseidon Faith among the nine major sects.
Theoretically speaking, belief in this terrifying and strange Dragon King is also an orthodox belief that has been officially confirmed.
It can be regarded as a 'well-established family' in a certain sense.
I understand that I seem to have misunderstood something.
Li Sheng had no choice but to let go of the dagger in his hand, explaining that he just misunderstood that everyone believed in some kind of evil god.
I then apologized to everyone and was willing to make up for it in the future.
The rest of the people were filled with indignation and looked like they would never give up.
But Tang Yan, the sea priest who was let go by Li Sheng, took a few steps back and came to the crowd.
First he took off his heavy bronze mask, revealing his delicate face and black hair under the mask.
“Dear citizens, this brother also intervened in this matter because of a misunderstanding.”
“We should understand his bravery and smile away our grudges.”
>Seeing that everyone still looked aggrieved, Tang Yan added another sentence:
"This is the oracle of the Dragon King."
Everyone then chose to believe in awe, without any objection.
“Sorry.”
Li Sheng was quite embarrassed at this time.
No matter how many reasons there are, I did mess up the other party's ceremony.
No matter how angry the other party is, it is understandable.
But the other party chose to forgive me, which I really admire.
It even made Li Sheng feel a little ashamed of himself, lamenting that he judged the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.
"It doesn't matter, you are the favored son of the Dragon King. That's why the Dragon King will signal us to be friends with you."
The misunderstanding was resolved, but Tang Yan insisted on keeping Li Sheng. After the ceremony, come to their Lianjia boat to have a glass of wine before leaving.
Although Li Sheng was eager to return, he was in the wrong after all, and their demands were not excessive.
So Li Sheng had no choice but to agree and stood quietly aside to watch everyone continue the interrupted ceremony.
As they said, this ritual is just piercing some kind of blood under the ribs to form a tattoo.
Coupled with various secret techniques in the future, people can have cultivation abilities similar to those in the fisherman's realm.
"Strange, their method seems to have taken a lot of shortcuts."
"Although the effect seems to be much worse than that of the real Fisherman Realm monks, the advantage is that it does not require talent or temperament, as long as you can survive this weird ritual."
In any case, their kind The quick fix is amazing.
These dozens of people are all in a degraded version of the 'fisherman's realm'.
Only Tang Yan, the sea priest, and the old man who took the lead in speaking out before were the only second-level practitioners among these people.
It seems that just like myself, both have made breakthroughs based on the first level.
But although both of them practiced with quick methods, there was some kind of alternative aura shrouded in their bodies.
Li Sheng couldn't figure out their true details.
So when they really started to take action, Li Sheng was really not sure who was higher and who was lower among the three.
