Only then did Ding Xiaoyi remember,
When he met the Ruan ghost, it was when he heard that the two children were about to be captured and sacrificed to the God of the Sea that he felt compassion.
Then he fell into the great formation of thousands of ghosts and spirits.
He always thought that the Poseidon Sacrifice was just a random fabrication made up by the ghost and the sea masters, but he never thought that the Poseidon Sacrifice Conference actually existed.
There are dozens of islands in Liusu Kingdom, with Liusu Island being the largest, so it was named Liusu Kingdom.
Liuying Island is the largest island outside Liusu Island.
Living on Liuying Island is a group of primitive indigenous people who believe in the sea god.
Every year, a full moon night is selected for the Poseidon Sacrifice Conference.
The Poseidon Sacrifice Conference will also attract indigenous people from other islands in the Liusu Kingdom to participate. They offer sacrifices to the Poseidon to seek the Poseidon’s blessings.
At every sacrificial meeting, ten boys and girls and a hundred heads would be sacrificed, so that Poseidon could feel their prayers and summon them.
"Master, don't you stop the sacrifice of human beings?" Ding Xiaoyi asked Gongyang Quan curiously.
He felt that the sacrificial meeting of human sacrifices was too cruel, and he could not accept that ten boys and girls were sacrificed alive to the Poseidon.
Although the Poseidon was only a legendary existence, he really couldn't accept human sacrifice.
He looked at the headless corpse again.
It seems that if you want to find the truth, you must go to Liuying Island.
"Everyone on the island of Liusu, and the customs of many islands are also different. The worship of the sea god has been going on for thousands of years, and no one has ever doubted it."
"The indigenous people on Liuying Island all believe in the Poseidon. They believe that everything on the island is given by the Poseidon. So it doesn't matter if they sacrifice ten boys and girls."
Gong Yangquan said to Ding Xiaoyi with a wry smile.
Worlds, full of wonders,
The East China Sea is adjacent to the Endless Sea. There are countless islands in this sea, and many inheritances have been left behind.
After Ding Xiaoyi heard Gongyang Quan's explanation, he was helpless.
Sometimes faith is actually a kind of practice.
If he wanted to find out the truth, he had to go to Liuying Island. He wanted to see if the head was Lord Liao's.
There were no clues to be found on this headless corpse. His real purpose in finding the head was to collect the remaining soul of the corpse.
If this corpse is Lord Liao, then there must still be soul left in his head.
His soul-inducing bell can find the remaining soul in the head.
"National Master, will the sacrificial meeting on Liuying Island be held tonight?" Ding Xiaoyi asked Gongyang Quan in a serious voice.
He doesn't think it's such a coincidence,
He wanted to find Xuanxuan Island to find the Jiuyou evil cultivator, but unexpectedly, the Poseidon Sacrifice Conference on Liuying Island was also held tonight.
He felt there must be some connection.
He was troubled by the fact that he could not find Jiuyou Evil Cultivator, Dayong officials were killed again, and their heads were used as sacrifices.
"It is held tonight. Do you also want to go to Liuying Island?" Gong Yangquan asked Ding Xiaoyi with a solemn expression.
"That's what I meant." Ding Xiaoyi nodded and replied.
Although Prince Geng didn't know what Ding Xiaoyi really thought, he supported Ding Xiaoyi's decision.
Dongfang Jianchen followed Ding Xiaoyi like a follower. No matter where Ding Xiaoyi went, he would follow him.
So Dongfang Jianchen didn't object, and no one else objected.
Gongyang Quan nodded and said to everyone: "In that case, let me make some arrangements. My master has not participated in the Poseidon Sacrifice Conference for a long time."
"How to deal with this body?" A guard asked Luo Qiang.
Upon hearing the guard's question, Ding Xiaoyi said directly: "Burn this corpse."
everyone
Heading towards the palace, Ding Xiaoyi did not follow the Imperial Master and others back to the post house. Instead, he took Dongfang Jianchen to Xuanyuezhuang.
"Ah, Messenger Ding, you came at the right time. These are the priests sent by Liuying Island. They said that there will be a Poseidon sacrificial meeting tonight. Let me go and watch."
As soon as Ding Xiaoyi arrived at Xuanyuezhuang, Tan Tianya led two gray-haired old men to introduce him to Ding Xiaoyi.
"Are you two priests from Liuying Island?" Ding Xiaoyi looked at the two old men wearing linen clothes curiously.
Their skin was bronze, and the wrinkles on their faces were as full of vicissitudes of life as the ravines.
The two Liuying Island priests looked at Tan Tianya in confusion, with confusion on their faces.
"Oh, they rarely communicate with others and can only understand the indigenous dialect of Liuying Island."
Tan Tianya slapped his forehead and apologized to Ding Xiaoyi.
Ding Only then did Xiao Yi realize that the two priests did not understand what he said.
then,
Tan Tianya chattered a few words to the two old men who had gone through many vicissitudes of life, and then the two old men who had gone through vicissitudes of life nodded to Ding Xiaoyi.
"Guji...",
The two priests said a few more words to Ding Xiaoyi, but Ding Xiaoyi couldn't understand a word. He looked at Tan Tianya in confusion.
"They mean that you are distinguished guests from Cangxuan Continent, and they also invite you to attend the ceremony. Those who attend the ceremony can also receive the blessing of the Poseidon."
Tan Tianya explained to Ding Xiaoyi.
"Then tell them that I will definitely go next time." Ding Xiaoyi replied to Tan Tianya.
Tan Tianya translated Ding Xiaoyi's words to the two vicissitudes of life old men, and the faces of the two vicissitudes of life old men showed a look of joy.
Afterwards, they left Xuanyuezhuang.
They also want to invite King Liusu to come and watch the ceremony. The king basically goes to watch every Poseidon sacrifice, and this time is no exception.
Ding Xiaoyi looked at the vicissitudes of life of these two departing figures, his eyes flickering.
"I originally wanted to entertain Messenger Ding tonight, but there is a Poseidon Sacrifice Conference held on Liuying Island. It looks like we are going to Liuying Island."
Tan Tianya said helplessly to Ding Xiaoyi. At this moment, Dongfang Jianchen, who was behind Ding Xiaoyi, saluted the white-bearded old man.
"Nephew Dongfang, you don't have to be polite, your father will also go to Liuying Island together." Tan Tianya waved his hand to Dongfang Jianchen, and he said to Dongfang Jianchen.
"Is Envoy Ding going to Liuying Island with Laowan or with your delegation?" Tan Tianya asked Ding Xiaoyi again.
[An app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old book-chasing tool, used by all old bookworms.
On top of the small boat.
In addition to Tan Tianya, there was another servant, a dark-skinned aborigine.
The native didn't have any aura of cultivation. Ding Xiaoyi and Tan Tianya were sitting in the boat drinking and talking.
From Tan Tianya's conversation, we learned that the Poseidon sacrifice had been going on for thousands of years.
Poseidon seems to exist in this endless sea.
But no one has ever seen the real Poseidon.
There are rumors that the sea god haunts the endless sea.
Every sacrifice will pray for the blessing of the Poseidon, and this sea area is controlled by the Poseidon.
After hearing Tan Tianya's narration, DingXiao Yi also shook his head helplessly.
It is not certain whether Poseidon exists or not.
He really didn't know if there was a god in this world.
If there is a god, then it should be a peerless powerful person whose cultivation has transcended this world.
However, the endless sea area is mysterious and unpredictable, and he doesn't know much about the sea world.
There should also be sea monsters who have reached the sky in the depths of that sea world. Maybe it is not necessarily that the sea monsters who have reached the sky have been beautified into Poseidon.
From Tan Tianya's narration, we learned that sometimes the Poseidon would appear during the sacrificial gatherings, but most of the time he never did.
Over the years, Poseidon has rarely appeared.
At the annual Poseidon Sacrifice Conference, Poseidon seems to have never appeared.
"Old sir, is there really a god in this sea?" Ding Xiaoyi asked Tan Tianya curiously.
He felt that God was just a peerless almighty whose cultivation had transcended the shackles of this world.
It cannot be called a real god at all.
He has seen strong men from outside the territory,
For example, the God of Death returns to the King of Hell,
and the Star Devourer,
When they appear in this world, they will still be restricted by the laws of heaven and earth.
Although their strength reaches the sky and comes from the outer starry sky, their strength is still more or less limited.
"Perhaps, the vastness of the sea is far beyond what ordinary practitioners like us can understand. There are also mysterious practitioners in this mysterious sea."
"They are powerful, but they rarely appear in the eyes of the world." A look of melancholy appeared on Tan Tianya's face, and he replied to Ding Xiaoyi.
The depth of the sea,
The vastness of the sea,
It's all an unknown mystery.
Even the sea monster cannot get a full view of this sea area.
Ding Xiaoyi also deeply agrees with this.
"Sir, we're almost there."
The servant who rowed the boat said to Tan Tianya in a loud voice.
Ding Xiaoyi then looked forward, and he saw countless figures appearing on an island in front of him.
They held torches high in their hands and were stirring happily.
Liuying Island is only more than ten nautical miles away from Liusu Island. In less than an hour, they were close to Liuying Island.
Fortunately, the sea was relatively calm at this time and no storm was coming.
