The master comes down the mountain: I don’t want to be a son-in-law

Sinking into the sea is an ancient punishment unique to Kowloon Island, and it is also the most severe punishment.

Kowloon Island is isolated offshore, and the islanders live by the sea. They believe that there are gods in the sea. They also believe that there are demons in the sea.

Evil people naturally need demons to punish them.

James was sentenced to death at sea.

In the face of the ironclad evidence and the overwhelming public opinion, the defender did not continue his defense and silently stepped down.

James remained silent and did not appear to be afraid of being sentenced to death. He looked up at the sky, facing the bright sunshine, with a trace of disdain on his calm face, but his eyes were full of blazing light.

This indifference to life makes the islanders even more angry.

The defender walked off the stage, whispered a few words to a few Westerners, and then they got up and left the square.

It looked like they had run away in despair, but Li Muchen knew that these people would not give up just like that.

He looked at James on the stage again.

This person must not be simple, otherwise the Sun Holy Cult would not have expended so much effort to send someone to negotiate.

In addition, Kowloon Island is such a small island, why do they come here to preach, and what is the purpose of turning those girls into sea monsters?

These are all doubts.

It's just not easy to unravel these doubts.

The believers of the Sun Religion have all had the art of faith implanted in their souls. Once they have the thought of betrayal, their faith will collapse and their souls will be annihilated. So they never tell the secrets of the church.

After the public trial, James was taken to the seaside execution ground.

It was a place like a pier, with a long trestle sticking out of the sea.

There is a boat docked at the end of the trestle. There is an iron cage on the deck.

James was taken to the ship, put in an iron cage, and had his hands and feet chained.

The executioner then recited an oath and the crime of James, which was a sign of respect to Poseidon.

Then, in full view of everyone, the cage was pushed from the deck.

There was a crash and water splashed.

At the last moment when he was submerged by the sea water, a smile appeared on James' face. He was still so calm and neat, and he didn't even fall off the glasses on the bridge of his nose.

The islanders who were watching on the shore cheered and cursed. Watching the devil sink into the sea, they vented their grievances.

There was a thick anchor chain attached to the top of the cage. As the cage sank, the chain rubbed against the deck of the ship, making a harsh sound.

People watched the anchor chain fall into the water little by little, reaching the end of the pulled pen.

According to the rules of Shenhai, after one day and one night, they will pull the cage up from the sea.

If the person in the cage is not dead at that time, it means that the sea god is protecting him and preventing him from dying. Then no matter how heinous the crime he committed, the islanders would not pursue him again. Even treat him as kindly as a god.

Of course, this is unlikely to happen. At least so far, nothing like this has ever happened on Kowloon Island.

So people felt that James was bound to die.

Only Li Muchen frowned.

He didn't believe that James would die so easily. Those Westerners had made so many efforts and gave up too easily in the end.

He always felt that he had overlooked something.

This sea was probably specially chosen for sinking into the sea. It was very deep, and the sea water blocked his consciousness, making it impossible for him to see clearly what was going on at the bottom of the sea.

Li Muchen didn't intend to interfere with this sacred ritual process, so he stood quietly on the shore and watched from a distance.

The islanders refused to leave for a long time, until the sun passed over their heads and began to slide westward.

Ning Fengquan turned around and raised her hands, shouting to the islanders: "Folks, the devil has been subdued, everyone go back!"

The islanders woke up from a dream and were about to disperse when they saw a woman staggering out, kneeling down in front of Ji Guanglai and Ning Feng, pleading: "Island owner, please save my daughter!"

It turns out to be Yaya's mother who transformed into a sea monster.

People then remembered that although James was sunk into the sea, Yaya, who turned into a monster, was still there.

Ji Guanglai said: "That's not Yaya. Yaya is already dead. We have also avenged Yaya. Please show your condolences!"

The woman refused to get up and cried: "My daughter is obviously still there, she can still move, how could she be dead? Wuwuwu... Island Master Ji, Island Master Ning, you are big shots, you must have a way to save her." her!"

Her pleading eyes were so helpless and pitiful, yet so full of hope. As island owners, Ji Guanglai and Ning Fengquan know how much the islanders trust them and regard them as the incarnation of gods. But now, he can't even save an innocent little girl.

They had no choice but to look at Li Muchen.

Even Sister Mei looked at him with an almost pleading look.

Li Muchen shook his head gently.

It's not that he doesn't want to save people, but that he really can't save them anymore. Yaya was already dead, she died when her abdomen was cut open. Her soul is no longer there, and now there is only a group of evil spirits in her body. Now she is not even a demon. She is just a tool of a soulless demon.

Ji Guanglai sighed, helped the old woman up, and said, "She is the daughter of the sea. We will use the most sacred ceremony on Kowloon Island to send her to the God of the Sea."

He supported the woman and returned to the town.

Seeing the still squirming Kraken, Yaya's mother cried again.

"It's Yaya! It's obviously Yaya! Why not? She's obviously moving and alive!"

"Don't touch her, or just let me raise her!"

The woman threw herself on Yaya, ignoring the stickiness and unpleasant smell of the sea monster, and used her body to protect her, for fear that she would be harmed.

When Li Muchen saw this scene, his heart froze and he thought of his mother.

I think all mothers in the world are probably like this!

No matter what their children have done wrong, no matter what their children have become, they will open their hands without hesitation and use their weak bodies to protect them.

"Just let me take care of her! I promise I won't cause trouble to everyone!" The woman was still fighting hard.

Ji Guanglai was embarrassed and could only look at Li Muchen again.

He was not sure whether this monster could be raised.

Li Muchen sighed and drew a talisman on the Kraken's corpse. Elf-like golden spells flickered on and off the body of the siren.

The Kraken trembled as if in a convulsion.

The woman was frightened: "Yaya! Yaya, what's wrong with you! Child! What's wrong with you?"

Li Muchen came closer, stretched out his fingers, and quickly touched the body of the sea monster. With each click, a stream of true energy entered the body of the sea monster.

Finally, he gently slid his fingers along the centipede scar on her abdomen, from bottom to top.

The Kraken's bulging belly deflated like a ball deflating, and the scar disappeared.

Li Muchen retracted his hand, took two steps back, and waved his hand gently, blowing away a gust of wind.

The wet, viscous liquid evaporated, and the smell dispersed with the wind.

There was no mucus, no unpleasant odor, no horrible scars, the bulging belly had disappeared, and the messy hair had become soft and smooth in the wind. Except for the pale and bloodless skin, she had regained her appearance as a girl. .

A piece of clothing floated over and covered Yaya's body.

Li Muchen turned around to look, but it was Sister Mei who had taken off her coat.

The old woman Kutong knelt down to Li Muchen: "My benefactor! Thank you! Thank you, my benefactor!..."

Li Muchen quickly helped the woman up and said, "This is all I can do. This is not resurrection, because she has no soul. She cannot speak, has no thoughts, and does not need to eat. Are you willing to raise such a living dead?"

"Yes! I do! She is my daughter! Thank you..."

As the woman spoke, she knelt down and kowtowed to Li Muchen again. After being stopped, she rushed over, hugged her daughter Yaya, and cried with laughter:

"Yaya! I am my mother! Yaya! From now on, my mother will raise you like she did when you were a child, okay, Yaya!..."
