A scholar’s ​​path to becoming a god

Chi Yan was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that Gu Xingzhou had shown concern for Sheng Zhiyu beyond his senior brothers and sisters. He suddenly felt that he was too slow and immediately changed his words: "Let me just say, you two seem to be a match."

Gu Xingzhou raised the corners of his lips, obviously very impressed by this sentence.

Qi Heyi said: "Senior and senior, with your strong alliance, the first place should be gone."

Sheng Zhiyu said: "It doesn't matter where you are, as long as you are not the last one."

Gu Xingzhou looked at Sheng Zhiyu: "This time it doesn't say that players can't attack each other. If you encounter Leng Ziye, it's better to kill him."

Sheng Zhiyu thought: "He has been hostile to me for a long time, but if you kill him, the two people who pass the level will still die. This is also the abnormality of this game.

So as a last resort, I didn't want to do it myself, but I still wanted to kill him through elimination.

It’s just that Ling Xiao and Leng Ziye are regular teammates. If Leng Ziye dies, he will die too..."

Ling Xiao is the brother of her good friend Ling Nuan. Although Sheng Zhiyu is not familiar with him, she does not want him to die.

Qi Heyi said: "Senior sister, you can't be soft-hearted, the rest are our own."

Sheng Zhiyu has already thought about this problem, although she has a bad impression of Lu Xingjue and thinks he is too cold-blooded.

But something must not happen to Lu Xingjue, otherwise Song Qiran would also suffer.

It would be great if Lu Xingjue and Leng Ziye teamed up.

Gu Xingzhou saw her confusion: "Yu'er, you can't be soft-hearted."

Sheng Zhiyu sighed softly: "I understand. Brother Chiyan, how long have you been here? Do you have any clues?"

With Chi Yan around, Sheng Zhiyu automatically ignored Qi Heyi. She felt that she couldn't get anything nutritious from Qi Heyi's mouth.

Chi Yan said: "We have been here for five days. Although I don't speak Cantonese, I can barely understand it.

The legend of the Dragon King's marriage is popular here. A wedding is held every year during the Ghost Festival to select a suitable young woman to marry the Dragon King.

The Hungry Ghost Festival is coming in two days. I heard that I have chosen a bride and am waiting to get married. "

"The Dragon King is getting married?" Sheng Zhiyu frowned slightly.

She did know that in the Guangdong and Guangdong areas, the Dragon King of the South China Sea was particularly respected. This Dragon King's marriage should be the Dragon King of the South China Sea.

Chi Yan continued: "Yes, I heard that whichever house has young girls, there will be witches and they will take people to that house to choose.

The girls previously selected were from families with no money and no power, and those with money and status had already taken care of themselves.

But because of this tradition, fewer families are willing to have daughters. Some will abort the fetus immediately after knowing it is a girl, or suffocate the fetus with pillows after birth.

So now even the daughters of wealthy families are not immune.

On the day of the Ghost Festival, the villagers put a reed mat on the beach, dress the girl up and sit on the reed mat. When the girl is swept away by the sea, it is equivalent to marrying the Dragon King. "

Sheng Zhiyu: "..."

Why does this story look so much like He Bo’s wedding? Even the props are reed mats.

Can the screenwriter of the copy have some innovative thinking?

At least change the board.

Gu Xingzhou said calmly: "If you can choose a day like the Hungry Ghost Festival, which is extremely gloomy, 80% of the time you get married, not the Dragon King, but a ghost."

Qi Heyi trembled in fright: "Senior, I'm timid, don't scare me."

Sheng Zhiyu rolled his eyes at him: "We are all here, what are you afraid of?"

Qi Heyi looked at his three teammates. They were all extremely reliable people, and he suddenly felt extremely safe.

Sheng Zhiyu thought about it and realized that he hadn't seen any young girls since arriving on the island.

Most of the women are elderly.

But why would they rather suffocate their daughter to death than leave this hellish place?

Gu Xingzhou saw her doubts: "If they don't leave, something will happen that they can't bear once they leave."

Chi Yan cheered: "If you ask me, suffocating your own daughter to death is worse than a beast."

Sheng Zhiyu said: "In today's civilized society, there is no such thing as men being superior to women. In some countries, the status of women is even higher than that of men.

But in the old society, many female babies were suffocated to death. At that time, preference for sons over daughters was very serious. After some families gave birth to a baby girl, they would find ways to throw it away or give it away.

Others are thrown into the baby tower and left to fend for themselves.

These babies thrown into the baby tower have no one to feed them and can only stay with the corpses of other babies. Generally, they cannot last more than two or three days.

However, the villagers here kill their daughters not because they prefer sons over daughters, but because they don’t want to raise daughters for more than ten or twenty years in vain. They are all sunk costs. "

Qi Heyi felt a chill all over his body: "Sister, what kind of ghost story are you telling me in broad daylight?"

Sheng Zhiyu glanced at him: "This is not a ghost story. Let me tell you, there may be baby spirits floating everywhere on this island, maybe they are behind you..."

Speaking of this, she had the intention of deliberately scaring Qi Heyi, and her expression became strange.

"Ahhhhh!" Qi Heyi screamed in fright.

Chi Yan was not frightened by the story told by Sheng Zhiyu, but was frightened by Qi Heyi's scream.

Sheng Zhiyu laughed loudly: "You are really timid. I finally met someone who is more timid and afraid of ghosts than Chu Muyan."

Qi Heyi: "..."

Gu Xingzhou touched Sheng Zhiyu's head helplessly: "Yu'er, don't scare him."

"Xiao Qi, what's wrong with you? If nothing happens, come down and work quickly!" The hotel owner heard Qi Heyi's voice and thought something had happened.

Qi Heyi said: "Brother Chiyan, we have to continue working."

Chi Yan saw that the hot water he had just delivered was already cold: "I'll go and boil some more hot water. You will definitely need it at night."

After saying that, the two went downstairs to continue working.

Gu Xingzhou and Sheng Zhiyu were the only two people left in the room. Sheng Zhiyu felt his cheeks begin to heat up as he thought of the unfinished business on the ship.

After all, Gu Xingzhou's last few blows were so harsh that they knocked the heart away.

It made her feel so empty now, always wanting to be fed something.

But Chi Yan and Qi Heyi would come up at any time, and she really didn't dare to mess around.

So she changed the subject: "Senior Brother, what do you think about this Dragon King's marriage?"

How could Gu Xingzhou not see the change in her, his eyes darkened: "I think it is more of a sacrifice than a marriage. If you leave the island alive without a sacrifice, the so-called Dragon King will punish the villagers."

Sheng Zhiyu thought the same way: "I just don't know what kind of punishment it will be."

Gu Xingzhou said: "The day after tomorrow is the Ghost Festival, and we will find out more then. Why not do something else now?"

Do something else?

Sheng Zhiyu suddenly found that Gu Xingzhou had walked to her side, and the cool breath surrounded her.

Her legs went weak instantly and she was caught in Gu Xingzhou's arms.
