"That day, as usual, the weather had been gloomy for several days before the flood hit, only, for some reason, that day was even more suffocating."
Wong Sha Tai Sin gathered everyone at the entrance to the village.
"He said that the weather was still the same, the rainstorm was still constant, and even though there were several low mountains to protect us, we could not keep using the mountains to stop the floods for long."
Besides, the yellow sand daisy controlling the mountain was entering a period of exhaustion.
It would not be long before the mountain would crumble and the floods would pour in like an ocean, inundating hundreds of miles around this place.
When the villagers heard these words, they were terrified and desperate.
"Unless, the flood is completely removed or the water is completely suppressed under the land, then, once and for all!" Lui Gung spoke out, what Huang Sha Daxian had demanded that day.
Han Qianqian frowned slightly, so, is this the fundamental reason for the formation of the rainforest, outside this wasteland?!
"That's right, for the safety of the village, we agreed." The village chief nodded, seeming to see the doubts of Han Qianqian and the others, "The rainforest outside the high mountains outside the village is the result."
Huang Sha Daxian's method was to suppress the flood there, and then he would still use the mountain to guard the villagers and protect everyone's safety.
"But this is all good in the end, suppressing the flood into the ground again and using the mountains to form a protection for the village." Wang Simin puzzled.
Hearing Wang Simin's words, the old village chief and Lei Gong looked at each other with bitterness.
"There is a price for this is there?" Han Qianqian instantly understood in seconds and asked in a soft voice.
The old village chief nodded heavily, "That's right."
"Huang Sha Daxian told us that moving the mountain had already cost him a lot of energy, and if he was to channel the water and suppress it, it would require even more powerful energy, and he was out of options. Unless ......" Lei Gong said this and looked at the old village head, not wanting to mention the painful past for a while.
"Unless what?" Mo Yang said softly.
"Unless, unless the village wants to sacrifice to it." The old village chief said with a heavy heart, "It needs three young girls who have just become young and untouched by the world."
"Bastard!" At these words, the journeyman rose in anger: "If it is a great treasure, why is it sacrificed to a living person? I see that it is clearly an evil demon."
"You are not agreeing to this, are you?" Wang Simin said in a cold voice.
"We do not want to promise, but do we have a choice?" The old village chief said bitterly.
If he did not hand over the people, Huang Sha Daxian would also have to watch the tragedy happen because of his own lack of energy.
In other words, the mountain would move away, the unabated flood would strike again, and everyone would perish in it.
A group of people, both those who had experienced it and Han Qianqian and others who were listening to them, all lowered their heads helplessly when they heard this, and the atmosphere turned depressing for a while.
After that, the torrents disappeared, were suppressed on the ground, and soon bred the patch of rainforest behind them.
The villagers' nightmare, however, had only just begun.
Wong Sha Tai Sin told everyone that although the flood had receded, it was all thanks to his power to suppress it, so although the villagers had a peaceful life to lead, it was all under his blessing, so he wanted all of us in the village to continue to repay him!"
"Every year it chooses four young girls in the village and then makes us sacrifice them to it."
"It's simply perverted, seven years, four per year, how many people are there in this village in total?" Wang Simin said angrily.
The village chief nodded heavily, "Since it is true, so the village is in fear. After a few years of suffering, more than a dozen young girls in the village lost their fragrance and we thought of running away, but once we left the surrounding hillside, there would be no bones left. We also thought about refusing, but we would only invite more people to die in vain."
Just one refusal to hand over a maiden a few years ago was the cause of more than 30 deaths in the village overnight.
"When we left, it lashed out at us for being ungrateful!" The old village headman said bitterly, "When we refused to hand over the people, it said we had broken our promise. But ...... but there's really nothing we can do about it."
"What kind of love and commitment does this evil creature talk to it about? Does it deserve it? Fuck, if Grandpa Blade meets it, I'll have to slash it to death." Knife Twelve said angrily.
"For so many years, any family that had a daughter would almost try to hide it, and even when they were old enough to get married, they would prefer not to marry. Until this girl Yin'er understood ......" Speaking of the girl in the coffin, the old village chief was quite relieved.
Everything had changed!
