Chapter 327 I sacrificed my own people
Hou Hai was so nervous that he was a little tighter by the other party's words. He couldn't help but hold the other party's shoulders with both hands and looked up and down: "You, are you okay?"
Seeing that the other party cared about him so much, the young man grinned and showed his neat and white teeth, "I'm fine. I just think that thing is too weird, not like anything in the sea we've seen before... Well, it's like it's between reality and reality. I can't touch it, but... it can control me and there's no room for resistance. I also thought I was going to explain this time, but I didn't know that a ray of light suddenly burst out on my amulet, and the black shadow tentacles seemed to be afraid of the light. A very harsh neighing sound came from my ear, and the black tentacles on my body disappeared immediately... I climbed up..."
It turned out that something was causing trouble, and they deliberately towed their boats into the deep sea.
Hou Hai was only relieved when he confirmed that the other party was fine. His eyes fell on the other party's neck, and it was empty.
He knew that the meaning of protecting the other party was a token passed down from generation to generation of priests. In the words of those mages, he accumulated the power of faith and thoughts of countless people on it, to drive away evil spirits, and ordinary evil spirits could not get close to them at all... And now it was destroyed in front of the "things", which shows how powerful it is.
This young man is extraordinary. He is the son of a priest in their village. Xiao Si. After the death of the old priest, he inherited the position of the village priest. Unfortunately, the people in the village are now missing and missing. Many of the remaining people have to move away. The rest are basically people who are unable to leave their hometown or who are concerned about their relatives who are missing in the sea. So the priest is useless. Apart from hosting some priests during festivals, the rest of the time is followed by Hou Hai's ship.
Because Hou Hai was the most rational among the younger generation of fishermen, he harvested a lot of seafood each time, and each person got more.
Hou Hai knew that Xiao Si had real skills, and he couldn't even see the true face of the thing clearly, and destroyed the token amulet. It can be seen that it was indeed very difficult. He felt a little guilty, but he was more grateful. Fortunately, the person was not seriously injured, and as long as he was there, there was hope!
He nodded and asked Xiao Si to take a break first. After all, it would be useless to stare at the fog on the sea now.
An inappropriate voice suddenly appeared in the crowd praying next to him: "...Didn't we say that there is a land god here? Why don't we ask the land god to bless us?"
As soon as he said this, a man next to him immediately covered the other person with a thick and calloused big hand, and the rest also cast resentful eyes at the young man.
It is right to ask for blessings from the land god on land, but their fishermen are different from ordinary people. They are born on the sea.
Just like floating on the boundless sea like this, how can the Land God control them? I haven’t seen the soil statues in the Land God’s shrine? It’s hard to save them if I enter the water. How can I save them?!
The key is that at the critical moment, it is right to ask the Goddess of Heaven. If you suddenly ask for another god in the middle of the way, isn’t that obviously driving the Goddess of Heaven away?
Therefore, the most taboo thing on the sea is to respect other gods, which will appear unrestrained and disrespect the Goddess of the Heavenly Gods.
They have and can only believe in one god, that is, the Goddess.
Well, even though the Goddess has not shown any spirit for many years, they cannot have other thoughts about blaspheming the gods.
creak—clang—
Suddenly, the hull vibrates violently and tilts to the side.
It was like an invisible hand below trying to overturn them, and at the same time, a noise came from the fog like countless whispers mixed together.
Hou Hai's face became very ugly, and his cheeks were flushed, as if he was trying his best to restrain something.
Then he covered his ears in pain, and gradually squatted down, opened his mouth and shouted out.
Suddenly, he stood up and rushed towards the side of the ship, and ran and shouted to the people behind him: "...As I told you before, everything here is left to you-"
Everyone looked at the boss of the ship as if crazy, and this was the rhythm of jumping into the sea.
Although he didn't know why he suddenly jumped into the sea, he understood why the other party started to arrange personnel to control the ship when the ship was in fog. As the boss of the ship, he did not take the helm and looked at the sky on the deck. It turned out that he was going to jump into the sea.
No, this was not right... Almost subconsciously, everyone rushed towards Hou Hai, trying to stop him.
"Hou Hai, what are you doing? Stop it-"
However, how could their movements catch up with the people who had already made up their minds to die? He watched a determined figure jump and quickly disappeared into the vast smoke.
"Boss--"
"Hou Hai——"
… “You said that as long as I sacrifice one person to you, I will let us leave the fog. I sacrifice myself to you. It’s time for you to fulfill your promise. Let them go. Don’t you keep your word?!”
Hou Hai felt his consciousness gradually blurred, and a cold and cold breath that was different from the sea water wrapped around him, constantly extracting the energy from his body, and his vitality was passing away rapidly.
However, he still tried hard to focus on the direction of the fishing boat with his last bit of consciousness... Why is it still in its original place? That voice deceived him, deceived him!
The voice said contemptuously: "Haha, I didn't expect you to sacrifice yourself to me and wouldn't be willing to push your crew out. This kind of righteousness and great responsibility is indeed very commendable. Tsk tsk, even the taste of this soul is much better than those people, which makes me want to taste it well..."
"But you have never thought about your mother and brothers and sisters? Have you ever thought about how they should live without you? Look, you are actually a selfish person. You ignore your family in order to fulfill your nobleness and greatness. You are not worthy of being your mother's son, and you are not worthy of being your younger brother and sister's elder brother. Admit it, you are just a hypocrite... Come on, now as long as you point out any person on the ship, oh, that old iron head often goes against you, you sacrifice him to me, so that your mother will not lose your son, and you will lose that thorn in your eyes... Come in."
"Let them go, let them go..." Hou Hai still begged with his last consciousness. He only had one thought, and he must not be shaken, and he must not be!
In fact, a few days ago, he had a very strange dream for no reason.
