Who Threw This Woman Away?
Sacrificial Square
Riverbank embankment.
The once calm river surface suddenly began to ripple.
Moreover, the longer the time...
The waves grew larger, splashing water everywhere on the embankment, and crashing against the shore.
But no one noticed.
Because the attention of thousands of people had been drawn to something else.
That is to burn the sinners who blaspheme the gods to appease the River God's anger.
The bride's parents were bound hand and foot with ropes and tied to two wooden crosses respectively.
The wooden frame was piled high with dry firewood.
The people of Baijia Town actually wanted to burn an innocent couple to death with a raging fire.
The ignorance, cruelty, ruthlessness, selfishness, and ruthlessness of the common people in ancient times are completely visualized at this moment.
Burn them.
Burn them.
"..."
Listen, it's the cries of the people, devoid of any sympathy or pity, but filled with boundless anger and resentment.
It seemed as if all that was needed was to burn these innocent parents to death.
They will have a bountiful harvest next year and will have no worries about food and clothing.
"Execute."
With a command from the Shaman Priest.
Thump--
The Oxhide War Drum placed on the embankment was being struck loudly.
Excitement, fervor, and elation were evident on the faces of every resident of Baijia Town.
Their eyes were fixed on the burly man holding the torch.
They wanted to watch the two sinners who dared to blaspheme the River God struggle, suffer, repent in the flames, and then turn into a pile of ashes.
But just as the burly man carrying out the execution was about to ignite the pile of firewood with his torch,
Just as the people's excitement was about to reach its peak,
A fierce and terrifying crimson Sword Qi, trailing dazzling flames, slashed out from the river.
It tore open the turbulent river surface.
The sturdy dock was destroyed.
A narrow, deep, scorched gully was left on the riverbank.
The sacrificial plaza fell silent instantly.
There was complete silence, as if the place were dead.
The people of Baijia Town turned their heads stiffly, staring blankly at the charred ditch that stretched from the dock all the way to the square.
I felt ice-cold all over and my legs were weak.
A shimmering light suddenly appeared beneath the surface of the river, which had been torn apart, but it vanished in a flash.
Then the river water reversed course, and the waves surged.
The thunderous roar of the water was like a thunderclap from the Nine Heavens, sending chills down one's spine and filling one with terror.
The turbulent river gradually calmed down.
Just now, what happened was merely a collective hallucination.
However, the thousands of residents of Baijia Town dared not move an inch, not even daring to breathe.
Because on that huge cowhide drum
There was a person standing there.
A handsome young man in flowing blue robes.
The unfamiliar young man just stood there.
Yet it is like a bright moon standing in the night sky.
It exudes boundless and vast divine power, carrying an aloof and detached aura.
It makes one dare not harbor even the slightest thought of disrespect.
I just want to prostrate myself in worship.
But at this moment,
This mysterious man inspires awe and reverence.
That incomparably handsome face was chillingly cold.
Like ten thousand years of ice,
The terrifying cold made the people of Baijia Town feel as if their bodies and souls were frozen.
"Who threw that woman away?"
The mysterious man's face was cold, and his voice was even colder.
You couldn't discern any joy, anger, sorrow, or happiness in his voice, but it exuded a chilling aura.
Only then did everyone notice the bright red object the mysterious man was carrying.
Wearing a phoenix coronet and embroidered robe, and a bright red jacket and skirt, she was soaking wet from head to toe. One of her embroidered red shoes was missing, revealing her fair and delicate toes.
It looks familiar.
So it's the Lady Baijia's getting married this year.
Everyone suddenly realized what was happening, then were dumbfounded again.
Etc...
Didn't Lady Baijia float away on a flower boat?
Why did it end up in the hands of this mysterious man?
Could it be...?
This mysterious man is the River God.
In an instant,
The eyes of thousands of people in Baijia Town shone brightly, and their bodies trembled with excitement.
So this is what the River God looks like.
It turns out that the River God we've worshipped in Baijia Town for a hundred years is actually an unparalleled handsome man.
The young girls, who were initially afraid of being chosen to become the Lady Baijia, were instantly captivated, their faces flushed.
If they could marry such a young and handsome River God, they would be willing to die.
Who is it?
The "River God's" voice grew even colder.
Since it wasn't a stranger from outside, but rather the River God they had worshipped for hundreds of years, the situation was different.
Thousands of Baijia Town residents turned their heads and focused their attention on the Shaman Priest standing in the middle of the square.
"So it was you."
The "River God" slowly raised his eyes, looked at the bewildered Shaman Priest, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
Upon seeing the true form of the River God,
The Shaman Priest, who was the River God's representative, was actually more excited than anyone else.
Because from the moment the River God appeared,
This means her status is about to rise rapidly.
Even the governor would not dare to boss her around anymore.
But then he saw thousands of people turning their gazes to him, and the River God's face, which showed no emotion but a slight upturn at the corners of his mouth.
A sudden sense of foreboding washed over her.
So she immediately made a decision in her mind: she wanted to continue using her silver tongue to persuade the River God.
"Lord River God, please listen..."
Unfortunately, the "River God" was too lazy to listen to her explanation.
Boom--
A terrifying bolt of lightning suddenly struck down from the sky, leaving thousands of people stunned into silence.
The Shaman Priest wearing the bronze mask was cleaved into ashes, leaving not a trace.
"The words 'River God' are the ones I hate hearing the most right now."
Gao Yunyi narrowed his eyes, looking at the mortal he had casually chopped into ashes, without the slightest fluctuation on his face.
Their cold indifference and ruthlessness inspire despair.
"Thump..."
Seeing the River God's rage, he casually summoned a bolt of lightning that killed the Shaman Priest, instantly awakening the fear within the thousands of people around him.
They all knelt down with a thud, trembling.
Among them, the kneeling posture of the supervisor, who always maintained the dignity of an official, was the most standard.
He knelt down, his back hunched, his buttocks sticking out, his forehead touching the ground, just like Song Jiang kneeling before the emperor.
As the town's supervisor who was closest to the Shaman Priest, he watched helplessly as the Shaman Priest, a living person, vanished into thin air right before his eyes.
The terrifying power of the thunder and the gruesome state of the Shaman Priest after his death had already terrified him to the point of losing his soul and his courage.
Faced with the capricious and terrifying River God, his respect for the River God now far surpasses that for His Majesty the His Majesty.
"Bang--"
The bride, soaking wet, was ruthlessly thrown onto the embankment by Gao Yunyi, as if he were casually tossing away a bag of trash.
This woman deserves to die.
But to kill an unarmed woman who had no intention of offending you...
It doesn't mean anything.
