Chapter 21: Sacrifice to the River God Again
Qingzhou City holds a sacrifice to the river god every year, but this year is a little special.

The festival was held twice this year.

The Bai Lao Society sent a well-known shopkeeper to explain that this year was a little special. The first one was called a small sacrifice and the second one was called a big sacrifice. This way it would be decent enough to satisfy the respected position of the River God.

But people in the city can feel that something is wrong with the atmosphere today.

The main thing is the strange thing that happened yesterday afternoon.

Bai Laohui found the most handsome scholar and the most beautiful lady in the city. They first gave several loads of silver to the scholar's family, and the scholar happily followed Bai Laohui.

But when they arrived at the young lady's home, the rich businessman was unwilling to let her go. At night, a strange wind blew in the rich businessman's house, and the young lady was gone the next morning.

The rich businessman was so anxious that he brought his servants and rushed to Bai Laohui and planned to knock on the door.

Mr. Bai would completely shut himself in and not see anyone, and then, tired of the hassle, he would release a shopkeeper.

"Today is the day to offer sacrifices to the river god. We can wait until tomorrow to discuss everything else."

How could the rich businessman be willing to do that? If he offered sacrifices to the river god today, where would he go to see his daughter tomorrow?
Do you want to jump into the river too?

A conflict broke out between the two sides, several servants died, and the rich businessman never got to see his daughter.

This news spread like wildfire throughout Qingzhou City.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that they were capturing young boys and girls to sacrifice to the river god. Old Bai had done this before, but they had just captured two people from poor families, and they had given them enough money, so not many people were resentful.

How come we caught the rich family today?

Rumors and speculations were rife in the streets of the city, but none of them could disturb the Bai Lao Society.

Xu Fugui looked at the man and woman in front of him with their eyes closed, and nodded with satisfaction.

They were both wearing bright red clothes, like two wedding gowns.

These are the most handsome scholar and the most beautiful lady in the city. After they are dressed up well, even Xu Fugui would be attracted to them.

"I hope the river god will be satisfied with these two."

Xu Fugui sighed softly, then waved his arm:
"Get up the sedan!"

The Bai Laohui guys immediately came over to the two men and women who seemed to be sleeping, and quickly put them on a red sedan chair. Then four strong young men came out, each lifted a corner of the sedan chair, and with a push of their waists, they lifted the sedan chair up.

Some of the accompanying team played suona, some beat gongs and drums, and some danced on the spot holding red silk that was more than one person long.
Xu Fugui walked in front and spoke loudly:
"The curtains of the sedan chair are rolled up with great joy, and we celebrate by having sex and eating sweet pills together."

"Sacrifice to the river god! Sacrifice to the river god!"

……

"Cough cough cough..."

Chu Xun was supported by his men and came to the altar by the river.

He coughed up a total of twenty-three pieces of bones last night. This morning, when he compared his height with that of his men, he had actually shrunk by two inches!
The skin and meat even drooped a little!
Mr. Zhao was right. If he continued to cough like this, he would probably be nothing but a pile of rotten meat in two days.

Chu Xun felt resentful, hateful and helpless.

He blamed himself for seeing the sword but not being able to suppress his desire, which led to his final fate.

He hated the woman who slapped him on the head. It was because of her that he became such a half-dead state.

He felt helpless. Even Young Master Zhao said that he was a skilled fighter. How could he possibly defeat the other party?

This is how the world is, the strong prey on the weak. In Qingzhou City, he is the one holding the kitchen knife, and the entire Daliang can only be regarded as a fish on the chopping board.

Maybe one day someone will stew it with tofu.

In the end, all the efforts were in vain and several pounds of bones were lost.

Concentrating his thoughts, Chu Xun walked to the riverside altar, and he took out a small box from his pocket. He opened the small box, and out came two thumb-sized dolls, one made of gold and one made of jade.

The two kids were huddled together and trembling. When they saw Chu Xun open the box, they wanted to jump out and run away. But Chu Xun just stretched out his hand and grabbed the two kids in his hand again.

"You two are treasures that I spent a lot of money to find. If you run away now, how can I offer sacrifices to the Lord of the River?"

When Chu Xun said this, a sneer appeared on his face. The two kids started crying immediately, but Chu Xun ignored them completely. He placed them on the altar and then lit a stick of incense behind them.

When the incense was lit, the smoke slowly rose up and turned into a chain in the air, binding the two little kids.

"Sir, I'm almost ready."

Chu Xun turned around and looked at Master Zhao who was sitting on the chair behind him, and spoke respectfully.

"Okay, let's officially start the ceremony."

At this moment, Master Zhao was sitting in a tent surrounded by layers of gauze. From the outside, it was impossible to see what was happening inside the tent.

He might sit on a small stool and drink tea by himself, or find a few beautiful women to keep him company in the tent, or simply want to add some mystery to himself.

Anyway, in Chu Xun's eyes, it looked more like the pretentiousness of a superior.

Regardless of that, Chu Xun walked to the main altar, and his men immediately handed him three incense sticks.

Chu Xun lit three incense sticks.

Keep your arms straight and your body forward.

"The weather is good and the family is happy, and the gods in the river protect all directions!"

“Sacrifice to the river god!”

……

"Master, what are we doing here today?"

Last night Zuo Chen taught Liu Laizi for two or three hours. Under Zuo Chen's modification, the method of shrinking the earth into an inch was transformed into other unique skills.

There are also some Taoist powers in their bodies, although they are still far from Zuo Chen's Qi, but as long as they follow Zuo Chen's breathing method and regulate their energy, their legs can be as fast as a horse and travel a thousand miles a day. Or they can throw a straw mat on the waves of the Yangtze River and cross the river by stepping across the grass with one foot.

In Liu Laizi's eyes, this method was already a fantasy, and could be considered as one of the tricks on the list of all the magic techniques.

Just when Liu Laizi was planning to spend a month or so practicing these two unique skills to a certain degree and then teach them to his incompetent disciples, Zuo Chen suddenly brought him to the Baishou Lake.

This made Liu Laizi completely confused.

"Someone is going to throw treasure into the lake, so I'm coming here to pick some up."

Zuo Chen said with a smile.

"Ah?" Liu Laizi's eyes widened. "You mean this is a sacrifice to the river god? Those are the treasures that the two big gangs feed to the river god. Even if you are not afraid of the two gangs in the city, you have to avoid the river god anyway."

After hearing what Liu Laizi said, Zuo Chen didn't say anything, but Caiyi next to him burst out laughing.

Liu Laizi: “?”

What's so funny about this?

Zuo Chen didn't explain, but just looked at the lake.

"coming."
