Among the Biluo Islands, near the main island of Jiutian Kingdom, there is a divine envoy named Yasha wandering.
Yakshas have different appearances and are different from ordinary people. They are omnipotent in heaven and earth. They are the people of Poseidon, the messengers connecting humans and the ocean. Most of the people living along the coast of Jiutian Kingdom are loyal believers of Poseidon.
Poseidon protects believers to have a life of prosperity, peace and joy.
Just pay tribute every ninety-nine and eighty-one days.
A boy and a girl are needed, and beautiful flowers. No more money is needed, no more resources are needed. As long as this is enough, it is enough for Poseidon to feel the sincere and sincere faith of the believers. The children who are lucky enough to be chosen will always be with Poseidon, receive Poseidon's blessings, and obey Poseidon's orders.
Every pair of Christian parents hopes that it will be their own child.
Every Christian child hopes to be one of the tributes.
tribute.
Tribute?
"...It's basically a sacrifice." Qi Huan said, "No matter how you think about it, you can't survive. On this kind of sea, drifting with this kind of tool, it won't take long for you to die without a burial place."
"You are not allowed to slander Lord Poseidon!"
Xiaojie was still chewing fish as she spoke. As expected of a child who grew up by the sea, his teeth were so sharp that not even a thorn stuck in his mouth. Qi Huan shook his head helplessly, while Aoyan couldn't help but sigh.
No matter how I think about it, I feel like I have been cheated.
"Hiss... I won't argue with you about this." Bai Ya frowned, "Tell me what happened to the treasure? It's not that we are pretending, it's that we really don't know about this matter. Brothers are here, yes Those who are looking for people have never heard of treasures. Well, maybe this is not convincing..."
"It's impossible... E Niang said you all came here for the treasure." Xiaojue's voice was waxy. What he was holding was the part with the fish head that his sister broke off to him. "It was the same before. All the people who landed on the island before were In order to steal the treasures of the gods. The gods also said so. Foreigners came for the treasures and killed many of us."
Bai Ya felt uncomfortable and looked back at the other two people. They also looked at each other. Indeed, the imperial court never mentioned these matters to them. Bai Ya still frowned, with a sullen face, and said to Jun Aoyan questioningly:
"What's going on, baby? You said that the imperial court sent someone here privately. Could it be that you have some conspiracy?"
"I don't know more than you." Aoyan said, "I just have a vague feeling that the court may know that there is some extraordinary power here, or it may be an object. If they come here for this, it is not difficult to understand. .”
Qi Huan lifted his chin with his hand wrapped in cloth. He thought for a while and expressed doubts: "But why didn't the court tell us? Are they really sure they have these things? Alas, the Six Paths of Impermanence didn't tell you anything."
"Forget it. Probably, they think that even if they tell us these things, I won't go and get it."
"That's hard to say." Qi Huan spread his hands, "Look, if you come back with your father but don't get the treasure, the court will punish you. Knowing the result, you will definitely not come back, so the court will be cleared. Two hidden dangers. But you didn’t find your father but you got the treasure. I gave you a small official and sent you to live in peace. No matter how you think about it, they are guaranteed to make money without losing money... so why didn’t they tell us? "
"Are they not sure?" Jun Aoyan asked.
"How can you not be sure?" Bai Ya retorted, "Didn't the two children already say that someone is here for the baby."
"Maybe it's not someone from the imperial court, but someone else..."
"Okay, okay." Qi Huan interrupted them, "There are too many possibilities. There is no point in arguing about this now. That's it, children, we won't ask about your baby, but can you tell us what happened before? Where have the people who landed on the island gone?”
Bai Ya and Ao Yan didn't speak. They also stared at the two children. All three were eager to know the answer. The two children looked to be in their teens. They should have seen everyone who had landed on the island in the past ten years, but their memories were sparse.
"Lord Poseidon will punish evil people with bad intentions. Sometimes, when foreign ships approach us, they will be torn to pieces by the storm. If there are cunning fish that slip through the net, the angels will also catch them. Some people will become Lord Poseidon. Believers, there are also people who want to find other gods they believe in, and Lord Poseidon will not stop them. Belief is free."
Xiaoju said seriously, but they were confused. The amount of information in this passage is so great that it is like a dog gnawing at a hedgehog, and it is hard to take it down. Xiaojie hit her brother on the head, probably because he talked too much, and he touched his head aggrievedly.
"More than one god?"
"Of course there is more than one." Xiaojie rolled her eyes disdainfully, "Our Nine Heavens Kingdom is very, very big. There are eight gods guarding this place and bringing blessings to people."
These words don't sound like they should come from a child. Qi Huan was somewhat curious and asked:
"Then... don't gods fight among themselves? For example, competing for believers? And what was the name of the Nine Heavens Kingdom before it was renamed the Nine Heavens Kingdom? Do you still remember?"
Xiaojie threw away the white fish bone in her hand and looked at him like a fool: "What are you thinking about? Jiutian Kingdom has always been called Jiutian Kingdom."
"Maybe they were still young at that time and didn't remember anything." Ao Yan persuaded.
"How could it be? Didn't the adults around them mention it?"
Xiaoju also threw away the fish bones he had eaten, smacked his fingers, and said: "The gods understand the righteousness well and don't care about the number of believers. You believe in the sea god today and the bird god tomorrow, as long as the belief comes from the sincerity and true feelings Really, the gods will grant grace. Everyone has only one ultimate goal..."
"Target?" Sure enough, he still had a plan.
"Of course it is to become a heavenly being, a person above human beings! Heavenly beings are the existence closest to gods. As long as you become a heavenly being and practice hard, you can one day attain Taoism and become an immortal. Some Taoist priests from outside have also chosen this path before. !”
When they said these words, the two children did not mean to joke at all. This made all three of them feel...unreasonable, incredible, and creepy to varying degrees. These words can be used to fool illiterate people who have not read much in China, or old fools. Putting it here, on the entire island country they claim is "extremely vast", it's really a bit psychedelic. It would be okay if this island country was a small country. After all, there are few people, it is isolated, and it is easy to fool. But the reality is obviously not the case.
"Well, little brothers and sisters, do you remember that one year, the army came to the island? That is, there were many people wearing clothes like me." Jun Aoyan gestured to herself, "Maybe better than me Their clothes are thicker and made of a hard metal shell. They all have weapons in their hands."
The two children looked at each other speechlessly, then stared at her blankly.
"No."
"Never seen it before."
"How is it possible?" Aoyan was a little anxious, "There are so many people. Maybe you are too young to remember..."
"Really not." Xiaojie said seriously, "I have a very good memory. We are so powerful that the God Envoy chose us."
"Well, earlier, there were several generals around them..."
"That would have been earlier. I'm afraid they haven't remembered anything yet." Bai Ya interrupted the anxious Aoyan and asked, "Have you ever seen a person who has one arm, no hands, and only a blade? He is a recent For two years. Among the travelers, there are many down-and-out people with shackles on their hands and ragged clothes."
The siblings looked at each other again and shook their heads again.
"How is that possible?" This time, it was Bai Ya's turn to say that.
Qi Huan reminded the two of them: "Maybe they landed from other places before. Don't forget, they may not have experienced violent storms, maybe they landed from other places."
Not without reason. So the two stopped arguing and continued to ask other questions. After finishing her meal, Xiaojie immediately shut her mouth and stopped talking. Xiaoju was still hiding behind her, trembling. Qi Huan picked up a slightly hot shell from the almost burning fire and handed it to Xiao Ju. Just as he swallowed, Xiaojie knocked him to the ground.
"What are you doing? You want to buy our loyalty with just one meal!"
After all, he is a child and cannot tell the difference between a full meal and a full meal. Qi Huan was stunned for a moment, a little helpless, and was about to bend down to pick up the fragrant conch. At this time, Bai Ya suddenly turned his face and hit Qi Huan on the back of his hand with the back of his knife. The pain made him withdraw his hand and scream. Just as he cursed, he suddenly opened Xiaojie's hands, pulled her brother over, and put the knife on his neck.
"Wait, wait a minute, Lao Bai!" Qi Huan covered his hot hands, "Are you a little impulsive?"
Jun Aoyan didn't say anything, she just frowned and watched the changes coldly.
"Pick it up." He said rather fiercely, "Don't waste food. Pick it up!"
The tone of the command was unmistakable. Xiaojie felt a little aggrieved. She just knocked over something and didn't hit anyone. So what? She held back tears to her eyes but didn't dare to let them flow out, because her brother's situation was obviously more dangerous than hers. The blade was extremely sharp, and Bai Ya acted as if he wasn't joking, making it clear that he wanted to kill two of them before they reported to Poseidon.
The few people were in a stalemate for a long time, and they almost lost their strength when they saw Xiaojie. Qi Huan was really afraid, afraid that she would burst into tears on the spot. The man named Bai didn't have the patience to stab a child with one knife. And Jun Aoyan didn't have the slightest intention to break up the fight... He was also a person who had lived a hard life. He didn't know what to do. He only knew that it was not easy to intervene at this time, so he had to stand aside blankly.
Finally, the little girl gave in and honestly picked up the snail meat that had cooled on the ground. The moment she picked up the conch, Bai Ya let go of her hand and pushed the little boy over.
"Okay, that's enough for friendship."
Xiaojie still stared at him angrily, but hugged her brother tightly. She carefully blew the sand off it, even if it didn't completely clean it. Xiaoju shed tears and took the conch with a groan, sobbing uncontrollably.
"Okay, I'll get tired of crying again." Bai Ya said lightly, "Tell me next...how to get back to the island?"
