"Why are you chasing your saint?" Yu Ze suddenly spoke up, grasping the key point.
The priest lowered his head and Yuexiye frowned: "This..."
Josh looked at them: "If you want us to help you, just say it clearly."
The priest sighed and had to say: "Actually, it's a long story. Ji Yan Po was originally preparing to be a saint, but because she violated the taboos in the village, she was removed from the list and replaced by someone else as a saint. That’s why she has a grudge and has been targeting the saint in our village.”
"What taboo?"
The priest shook his head: "We don't know this either. The entanglement between the forbidden woman and the saint has been going on for a long time, and we don't know the details very well."
Josh suddenly wanted to go to the folk song he heard from the ghost before.
About the saint running away with the man...
There will be no unreasonable signals in the dungeon. Even if he didn't run away with the man, this clue would still be useful.
The priest sighed: "It's because you made trouble before that the curse of the Forbidden Nightmare was unable to take effect on the Sacrifice Girl, and was reflected on the Saint Girl. In order to save the Saint Girl, we had no choice but to lead you to the mountain. I want to sacrifice you and save the saint..."
Josh thought for a while, "There is another question. If it is what you said, then why does the saint get younger every time someone dies?"
The priest said angrily: "It's not because the forbidden woman couldn't kill the saint, so she deliberately did this trick. She removed a certain part of the body and cursed it on the saint. This made people in the village panic. , everyone believed in the Saint at the beginning, but now there are many rumors coming out, saying that the Saint is a murderer. The Forbidden Nightmare just wants to use this despicable method to defeat the Saint!"
Josh had almost finished asking, and then he said: "We will help you solve the problem of the forbidden nightmare woman, but similarly, you can no longer help the forbidden nightmare woman to harm us."
The priest looked at her distrustfully: "Can you solve it? How can you solve it?"
Josh smiled slightly: "You don't have to worry about how I solved it, the saint will return it to you."
She threw the saint back to them and untied the cobwebs from their bodies.
The priest held the saint in his arms and looked at them hesitantly: "Since you said you want to deal with the Forbidden Nightmare, can you help us revive the saint first?"
"No." Josh refused expressionlessly.
Everyone left one after another, and only Qiao Xi and Yu Ze were left in the ancestral hall.
Yu Ze looked at her: "What do you say?"
Josh sat cross-legged next to the case: "Believe it or not. At least part of what they said is true."
Yuzawa frowned: "Which part?"
Josh: "Not sure, need to check."
She recalled that when they were on the top of the mountain, they were trapped in the middle of the formation, and strong winds rolled up outside. Those strong winds were obviously directed at everyone, including the priest, Yuexi and the others.
But those strong winds turned around automatically after touching the human-shaped lanterns raised by the women.
It was a strange feeling, as if I was afraid of breaking those lanterns.
As far as she knew, these human-shaped lanterns were all made by one person...
Qiao Xi looked at Yuze: "Let's go find Granny Cao and ask..."
Yuze pulled her to sit down: "What's the hurry? It's so late at night, can't I let you have a good sleep? Let's go tomorrow."
Josh glanced at the time and realized that it was already 2:30 in the morning. He had spent most of the night on the mountain.
She nodded.
There were many mats in the ancestral hall, so the two of them lay down on the mats to sleep.
Josh suddenly asked: "What's the date today?"
She waited for a long time, but didn't hear the people next to her talking. She raised her body and took a look. Not far away, Yu Ze was already fast asleep.
It really is……
Josh shook his head and lay down again.
They want to keep the Saint, one because their life and death are connected with the Saint, and the other is because the tides every month require the Saint to come forward.
But the saint is unconscious now. If she remembers correctly, the tide will come in a few days, right?
Either the Poseidon or the Saint must be awakened. One of the two must be awakened.
She didn't want to be washed away by the sea.
But if you think about it carefully, these villagers are really strange.
Don’t they believe in Poseidon?
Did they just throw the corpses of the female sacrifices into the underground beach under the thatched house and let the sea wash away the corpses when the tide rose?
What's the difference between this and just throwing the body into the sea?
Throwing unlucky things into the sea is also a way for them to show respect to the sea god?
Josh was thinking as he stared at the Poseidon statue in trance.
A wave of sleepiness came over me.
Josh yawned, took one last look at the Poseidon statue, and slowly closed his eyes.
"I'm here, waiting for you to come to me."
Vaguely, someone was speaking to her.
"Who is it?" Josh looked around, but there was nothing but boundless darkness.
"Josh, I'm waiting for you to wake me up."
There was a faint blue light coming from behind.
Josh turned around suddenly, but could only see a blur of blue light, in which the mermaid could still be vaguely seen.
"Poseidon... Sir?" Josh shouted tentatively.
The blue light enveloped her, and the quiet and gentle power seeped into her spirit, soothing her emotions.
"I'm waiting for you to wake me up."
That group of light said so.
Josh was puzzled: "How can I wake you up?"
There was silence for a long time, and then he suddenly said: "Aren't you my believer? Aren't you determined to dedicate your body and mind to me? Then use your love to awaken me."
"Oh..." The expression on Josh's face was a little strange: "Why do I have to wake you up?"
Mermaid King: "..."
Codename 7 grinned: "You were confused by her question."
The Mermaid King pushed him back and said to Josh: "If you don't want the village to be submerged by the sea, you must wake me up."
Josh was still a little puzzled: "Why is the sea flooding the village? Aren't you the God of the Sea? Why don't you control the sea? Why..."
A big hand with sharp bones stretched out from the blue light, covering her face and forcibly sealing her mouth.
Josh: "...?"
Mermaid King: "Don't you want to know the truth? Then wake me up."
Josh took his hand away and wanted to get closer to see who he was, but the blue light seemed to be welded to his face and he couldn't see clearly.
She frowned slightly: "Why are you hiding behind the light? Mermaid King."
Mermaid King: "..."
"She recognized you! She's so awesome!" The voice of code number 7 was a little excited.
The Mermaid King closed his eyes and erased Josh's memory again, bringing her back to reality.
Codename 7 looked at Josh who was sleeping soundly and asked him with some confusion: "Why don't you just tell her that we need her to wake up to get out of trouble?"
"Get out!" The Mermaid King scolded him coldly, pressing him completely back into his body.
Codename 7 was a little confused.
Why can Josh ask why, but he can't?
