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

According to the tradition of Kowloon Island, the iron cage sunk in the sea must be fished out after a day and night to observe the instructions of the sea god.

Of course, the actual operation did not have to wait for twenty hours. The next day, at dawn, the islanders gathered at the beach again.

Ning Fengquan led several representatives of the islanders onto the trestle.

The sun had just risen over the sea level in the east, and the sea and sky in the distance were as red as fire.

The sun shone slantingly, leaving their long shadows on the trestle.

The executioner was waiting at the end of the trestle.

Ning Fengquan patted him on the shoulder and asked, "How's it going? Did you have anything going on last night?"

"It's okay." The executioner said confidently, "I watched them all without closing my eyes."

Ning Fengquan nodded and said, "Then let's raise the cage."

The executioner agreed, jumped on the deck, and together with the crew, stirred the noose on the ship and pulled up the anchor chain bit by bit.

The anchor chain rubbed against the deck, and the sound was completely different from when it fell yesterday. Falling down is pleasant, but pulling up is slow and harsh.

For some reason, people's hearts were in their throats, as if they were afraid that what they were pulling up was an empty cage.

James' calmness before sinking into the sea made Ning Fengquan always worried.

So they put extra people on board to guard the anchor chain.

It was a calm night, nothing happened.

Now, just pull the cage up and you should be able to see James' body.

Soon, the friction between the anchor chain and the deck was interrupted by a splash of water.

The cage was pulled up from the sea.

Ning Fengquan breathed a sigh of relief.

James was in the cage, kneeling on his knees, with his back hunched and his head lowered. He didn't know whether he repented sincerely in this posture before he died, or whether he was frozen like this by the sea water.

The flames in the sky became so hot that the whole sea seemed to be burning.

At this time, a strange thing happened.

James in the cage actually moved.

He slowly raised his head and stretched his spine.

Ning Fengquan saw a smile on his face.

His pair of black-rimmed glasses were still on the bridge of his nose, and his piercing eyes could be seen through the lenses.

The wet hair did not make him look embarrassed, but made him look more carefree.

His hands were clasped in front of his chest with their fingers intertwined.

Ning Fengquan was shocked.

How can it be?

how can that be!

A person cannot survive under any circumstances if he sinks to the bottom of the sea for a whole day and night.

This anchor chain was specially made and lengthened for sinking into the sea.

In such a cold deep sea, even a master cannot hold on for long. It is impossible for him to survive day and night, unless he is not a human being.

James stood up slowly.

There were iron chains on his hands and feet, which clattered with his movements.

The people on the shore looked at this scene in stunned silence.

People couldn't believe that they actually saw someone who had sunk into the sea and survived in their lifetime.

This shows that this person has received the blessing of the sea god. Poseidon would not let him die.

Since the Poseidon won't let him die, the islanders of Kowloon Island naturally have no reason to embarrass him anymore.

James let go of his hands, and a cross fell from his hands and dangled on his chest.

He looked at Ning Fengquan with a smile: "Island Master Ning, can you let me go now?"

Ning Fengquan was very reluctant, but according to the rules of Kowloon Island, he had no reason not to let him go.

He waved.

The executioner stepped forward, unlocked the cage, and helped James untie the chains on his hands and feet.

James emerged from the cage and stood on the deck with his head held high.

The rising sun in the east parted the red clouds, and the sunlight shone on his soaked suit, reflecting brilliant light. Looking at it from a distance, it feels like God has descended.

The islanders were silent.

Yesterday, they tried the sanctimonious guy in front of them with great passion, declared him a murderous devil, and drowned him in the sea.

Poor Yaya was just taken back by her mother and was raised like a living dead. Ami's body is still parked in the hospital on the island, and she planned to wait until James' death was confirmed today before being buried at sea.

But now, James was not dead. He walked out alive from the iron cage that had been sunk all night.

What should they do?

Nothing like this has happened in hundreds of years.

James said to Ning Fengquan: "Thank you." His tone was gentle and elegant, but there was a bit of pride on his face.

Ning Fengquan said with hatred: "Don't be complacent, the sea water can't drown you, I can kill you just the same to avenge the daughters on the island!"

James looked a little disdainful, smiled and said, "Do you know why I didn't die?"

"why?"

"Because your judgment is wrong. God doesn't want me to die, and God's will explains everything. I didn't kill anyone. On the contrary, I was saving them."

"Nonsense!" Ning Fengquan said angrily.

But he knew that the islanders on the shore must be shaken in their hearts at this moment.

"According to the rules of your Kowloon Island, those who sink into the sea and survive are those who have been protected by God. You can no longer kill me, and you are not qualified to judge me, right?" James said proudly.

Ning Fengquan felt very aggrieved and wished she could slap this foreigner into a meat pie. But he couldn't do that.

As James said, the people on the island have no right to deal with a person who sinks into the sea and does not die, and who has been blessed by God. This is a rule passed down from our ancestors.

He couldn't kill James again. Otherwise, it is disrespectful to God and ancestors.

And James sank in the sea for a day and a night and survived, which is indeed a bit unexpected. It was not the will of God, so what else can explain it?

Ning Fengquan would rather James ran away and salvaged an empty cage. That would be better than what he was doing now. There is nothing more frustrating than this.

James laughed.

"Not only can you not deal with me, you must also respect me like a god. The person who sinks into the sea and does not die is the representative of god, the incarnation of god. You should serve me like you serve god. This is also the rule of Kowloon Island, I said Right?"

His voice was not loud, but it reached the shore clearly and everyone heard it.

People are silent.

Only the sound of waves gently lapping against the rocks echoed in the early morning sea breeze.

No one knew what to do next.

Yaya, Ami, Alita...

They are all the most beautiful girls on the island, their own children, and their lively faces are still alive in people's hearts.

They were ruined, murdered, disemboweled, and abandoned at sea.

How can James' sin be forgiven? !

However, he has been judged and sunk into the sea for a day and a night.

God has blessed him, and the rules of his ancestors have blessed him.

There was nothing the islanders could do against him. James can continue to stay on the island and show off in the market, and the people on the island will still treat him as a god.

James stepped onto the trestle from the deck, facing the eastern sun, and sang a hymn:

"The light of your face rises from the darkness, and the sky is covered with colorful clouds. Facing your fire, the world is filled with joy... You make the stars recede, and you make the earth bright. You are the king of the gods. Facing your fire, We go to eternal life..."

As he sang his prayers, a giant sun rose over the sea.

People discovered that the sun seemed much bigger than usual.

And James, a silhouette sank in the rays of the sun. Surrounding the black silhouette is a circle of golden divine radiance.

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded:

"I'm not from Kowloon Island. I don't care about the rules of Kowloon Island. I can kill you."
