Chapter 278, Death of the Stone 2
By the next morning, all the islanders had passed the inspection. But the dark clouds in the sky had not dissipated, and the streets of the town were still deserted, and no one dared to walk around casually.
Li Gang went to the mountain temple early in the morning to help clean the altar, but he brought back an infuriating news. Hai Shura ordered Meizhou Island to sacrifice ten folk girls in one day to show reward to the gods in the upper world. When
If you offer a common girl, the gods from the upper world will naturally leave.
Shitou was always a bad-tempered person, but he suppressed his resentment over the tragic death of his parents. Now he heard that they were asking for a civilian daughter, and his anger suddenly arose again.
He rushed out of the hall, pointed at the dark clouds on the street and cursed loudly: "You bullshit gods, ask us for this and that. Yesterday you beat my parents to death, and today you want to take over our women. I and you
Fight!"
Shitou was carrying a harpoon and yelling curses all the way along the street. The islanders did not dare to go up to pull him, and they felt that he had spoken out what was in their hearts. Many people applauded secretly and gave him a thumbs up.
Shitou raised his head and cursed as he walked up to Meishan, intending to go up and destroy the altar.
At this time, a vicious voice came from the sky, saying: "The bold and unruly people dare to ignore the presence of gods from the upper world, and even utter arrogant words to slander the gods! And they dare to take the lead in disobeying the tribute women!"
Shitou had no regard for life and death, and was not timid. He cursed: "Why do you ask for a daughter of the people?! Why do you beat my old parents to death?!"
The voice laughed loudly and said angrily: "It turns out they are your parents, so their death is not unjust at all. Even you have to die, let's see who dares to refuse to give birth to a civilian girl!"
Bang! Bang——
Suddenly a bolt of lightning flashed in the air, shooting out from the center of the dark cloud and hitting the stone.
"Ah!" Poor Shitou fell to the ground, screaming and only one head was cut off. His clothes were burned instantly, and his body turned into a stick of charcoal!
"Hurry up and pay the tribute, and we will keep you safe! Anyone who disobeys the tribute will be your fate!" The voice said this sentence several times until everyone on the island could hear it clearly.
The girl must be handed over, otherwise Meizhou Island will be wiped out with blood.
The clouds over Meizhou Island seem to be getting thicker, and the gods in the upper world are really going to lose their temper...
…
The earth god ran to Mazu Temple and conveyed Hai Shura's order again.
Li Gang had no choice but to carry a gong and beat it while shouting: "Summon the five village chiefs to the Mazu Temple for a meeting. Each of them will pay two women from the village to pay tribute to the gods. There must be no mistake!"
At noon, the village chiefs of the five villages brought ten girls to the Mazu Temple. Facing the ten crying women, the men did not dare to complain. Who dares to fight against the gods? They will only end up like stones.
.
A girl knelt down in front of the statue of Mazu and cried: "God Mazu, please save us... wu, wu..."
The girls burst into tears and knelt down in front of the gods. No one wanted to leave. Li Gang and the village chiefs could not control the situation.
Liu San hid behind the statue and saw how pitiful these innocent people were. God Mazu might have rescued them many times on weekdays, but this time, the evil deity's magic power was so great that even God Mazu could not beat him.
If these girls are not paid, I am afraid that there will be a greater bloody disaster on Meizhou Island.
Thinking of this, he pinched his throat and said in a sharp voice: "This time it's all Hai Shura's fault. His magic power is so powerful that I can't fight him. I can only make the villagers suffer and suffer."
Mazu spoke, and Mazu appeared.
The girls who were crying together in the main hall stopped crying. They looked up at the statue of Mazu and looked at each other, finally knowing that the last straw could not save their fate. They had no choice but to make the decision to sacrifice, and suddenly they became
Be strong.
Li Gang took the girls and walked silently to the altar on the top of the mountain.
The top of the mountain was still wrapped in a thick fog, and Meizhou Island was still covered by a large dark cloud. In the town, countless pairs of eyes watched them walk towards the mountain temple until they disappeared into the fog.
After a while, the fog on the mountain temple gradually dissipated, leaving only Li Gang.
The large dark clouds in the sky also began to move, slowly leaving the sky over Meizhou Island and drifting to the east of the island. The sun illuminated Meizhou Island again, and the islanders walked out of their homes one after another to celebrate each other.
Those families who lost their girls were never happy.
The main hall of Mazu Temple became empty again, Liu San quickly jumped off the Mazu statue and slipped to the street.
People pointed to the direction where the dark clouds were drifting and said, "They must be looking for trouble with God Mazu again!"
