However, the river god sacrifice in Qingxi Village is not a simple sacrificial activity, but a woman is selected before the Hibiscus Festival every year and is called a saint. She is given to the river god as a sacrifice in the river god sacrifice.
If this is the case, it is just the ignorance of the villagers. In fact, there is no use of ghosts. It is not uncommon to use human lives to fill natural disasters in this era.
What is rare is the way this saint chooses.
The lotus in Qingxi Village has been in full bloom for more than ten years since April, but the River God Festival was only available six years ago. It is said that it was the first night when the lotus bloomed in the spring of that year. More than a dozen old tribes in Qingxi Village received the oracle of the river gods in their dreams, requiring the River God sacrifice to be held during the Hibiscus Flower Festival and the saints were given as sacrifices.
This sacrifice was not just a random woman, but was personally selected by the river god in his dream, and lotus flowers grew from the dry land overnight around the selected woman's house and bloomed all over the ground.
Mortals believe in ghosts and gods, so the villagers naturally did not dare to neglect such miracles and immediately prepared for the sacrifice of the river god.
Of course, there are those who do not believe in ghosts and gods who are unwilling to sacrifice innocent women for nothing, and there are also those who are unwilling to have their daughters give sacrifices in vain.
But those who objected were all sick for no reason, and no doctor could see the cause of the disease. In just a few days, they were so angry that they kept breathing.
The opposition was gone, and the first river god sacrifice was finally successfully held.
Strangely, after the River God sacrifice was completed, all those who spoke out against each other gradually recovered their health.
Since then, no one dared to object to the River God Sacrifice, so it naturally became one of the must-have programs for the Hibiscus Flower Festival.
During this period, there were also women who were selected as saints and were unwilling to escape, which led to the cancellation of the River God's sacrifice at that time.
As a result, Furong Creek, which had always been gentle that year, became angry. The river freezes in April and turns into ice waves and pounces on the Blue River Lake. The hundred acres of lotus flowers in the Blue River Lake were destroyed overnight.
The woman who fled on the eve of the Hibiscus Flower Festival did not end up safe. Instead, she was found in Bihuan Lake three days later. She was tortured to death. Her body was ruined and unbearable, making people unable to see it.
Everyone said that the river god was angry and more awe, and no one dared to resist.
Princess Jiangxia loved lotus the most during her lifetime. King Jiangxia did not believe in ghosts and gods, and she was even more unwilling to bury the bones of the wronged souls and bones under the lotus that she loved the most. Therefore, she has always been very concerned about this matter.
But he was a mortal, and his strength was even worse than his son in terms of force. He went to see it secretly many times but didn't see any clues. He invited several Taoists to investigate and found out that all the Taoists were missing in the end.
Although this made King Jiangxia dare not act rashly, it also implemented the idea that the so-called sacrifice of the River God must be a monster in his mind.
In fact, it is not a secret among the mortals in the hearts of Donglizhou. Not to mention that many immortal practitioners come from the mortal world, just when everyone goes down the mountain to move, they will leave some traces. Therefore, there are always stories of immortal practitioners circulating everywhere in the secular world.
These deeds are facts for those who have experienced them and legends for those who do not know them, and King Jiangxia belongs to the former.
