C358 Offering
C358 Offering
At the entrance of the Four Direction Inn, a few men in silk clothes were leading seven or eight people with the same uneasy expression.
They were kowtowing on the ground and mumbling something.
"Envoy of Spirit Ghost Mansion, lord Ghost, please enjoy our filial piety. Eat the offering and tell us what to do next..."
"Why did the Yin Season in the Little Phoenix City come to an end early and Qing Ji has already arrived? Could it be that Lord Ghost of the Spirit Ghost Mansion has some special arrangements for the Little Phoenix City? Could you please tell us a thing or two about it? "
The leader of the group lowered his head and started chanting. He sounded very pious.
Su Ze looked at this scene with a strange expression. Then, he came back to his senses. They didn't know that the evil spirit had been killed by me, and they didn't know that I was a human. In addition, I absorbed a large amount of Primordial Energy for my cultivation, so they naturally thought that I was also a ghost.
When they noticed that the Yin Season had disappeared and the Little Phoenix City had turned into a clear season, they naturally didn't know what had happened. That was why they were especially panicked. In their panic, they couldn't find the evil spirit that was greedy, so of course, they came to find Su Ze, this "ghost."
At this point, Su Ze, who they had done, wasn't really disgusted by what they had done. But as humans, taking the initiative to offer four young men and girls as sacrifices for the ghost to eat, this was too much!
These four young men and women were only a few years younger than Su Ze.
With this thought in mind, Su Ze withdrew his smile and walked out of the room with black smoke lingering around him.
He wanted to see whether these human sacrifices should be killed or not, and how much morality they had.
"Ah!"
A young girl cried out in alarm, fell to the ground, and watched in horror as a ghost surrounded by black mist walked out of the room.
The ghost is coming to eat us... We are going to die.
Following her cry, the other two young men and a young girl also saw the appearance of the ghost and their hearts were filled with fear.
One young man retreated with a trembling voice, and the other young girl also fell to the ground with weak legs.
Only one of them still had the courage to barely speak.
"Greetings, lord Ghost..."
"Mm." Su Ze replied, saying, "The four of you are the sacrifices for me to eat?"
The slightly bolder young man said, "Yes, we are the sacrifices. Invite Lord Ghost to eat us, and give them a response."
Su Ze said, "Don't you hate them for saying that? They sent you here to eat you, and you still think of them this way? "
"Lord Ghost, the four of us have been chosen as sacrifices. There's nothing we can do about it." The young man said, "The Yin Season in Little Phoenix City suddenly ended and turned into a sunny season. No one has ever seen such a situation before. We can only ask Lord Ghost to respond to our confusion and prevent the thousands of people in Little Phoenix City from being annihilated."
"There are only a few thousand people in Little Phoenix City?" Su Ze asked, "So how many people are there?"
The young man did not know why this Lord Ghost asked this question, but he still replied, "From the moment I remember, Little Phoenix City is about twenty to thirty thousand, and now there are only a few thousand left."
"According to what they said before, when Golden Sparrow Country was still under the control of humans, there were more than two hundred thousand people in Little Phoenix City, and the number of people killed by demons and devils every year wasn't much, at most a few hundred to a thousand. Later on, when the Star Observing Mansion left, many people fled with them, and after that, it became like this... "
Suddenly realizing that what he said was not suitable to be said to Lord Ghost, this young man quickly shut his mouth.
Of course, Su Ze wouldn't care about what he said. He only heard what he wanted to hear and continued to ask, "Did they find you and let you be sacrifices?"
"Yes, lord Ghost" The young man said.
"Forced you to come?" Su Ze asked again.
"Not really. He just gave our family some rice noodles and food to persuade us." The young man smiled sadly. " They were right. People in this world live in pain. If they die early, they will be freed. If they live longer, they will live in pain. It's better to die earlier so that the others can live well. "
Su Ze coldly snorted," Then what about the children of their family? Should they have died long ago or were they still alive?"
"They have long been used as sacrifices." The young man said sadly, "Lord Ghost loves to eat boys and girls, how can we have room to escape?"
This answer was somewhat out of Su Ze's expectations, making him somewhat silent.
In front of ghosts, these humans' wealth and poverty were not much different. The people kneeling outside were not the kind of bullies that he thought they were to betray other humans and gain the trust of ghosts.
"You guys go out and let them in. I don't want to eat you guys, but I want to eat them." Su Ze said.
"This..." The young men and girls hesitated, not knowing what to do.
The slightly bolder young man said, "Why don't you eat me, lord Ghost? Anyway, I feel very painful living. Every day, I feel like a pig with its tongue cut off. I don't even dare to say a few words."
Su Ze waved his hand. "Don't talk nonsense. Get lost. I said I won't eat you. I won't eat you. Let them come in. I will pick a few and eat them!"
After saying that, the black gas rose and pushed the four boys and girls to the door.
City Protecting Officer and the others who were kneeling saw this scene and were very surprised. They hurriedly asked the boys and girls, "What's going on? Why did you come out?"
"Lord Ghost said... he doesn't want to eat us. He wants to eat you..." The young man said.
City Protecting Officer and the others were a little stunned. When they came back to their senses, some of their legs were weak, and some of their teeth were chattering.
This new monster was different from the previous ones. It didn't like eating small ones, but it liked eating old ones?
"Then, since that's the case, I'll go in." City Protecting Officer swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said.
The others looked at each other helplessly and followed with fear, leaving only an older one. - - - After all, the humans of Little Phoenix City couldn't be left unattended. Otherwise, if something were to happen again, they might offend the ghosts of Spirit Ghost Mansion because of the chaos, which would lead to the death of all the humans in Little Phoenix City.
City Protecting Officer walked into the Four Direction Inn and saw the ghost that was surrounded by black Qi. He led the way and knelt down.
"Sir ghost, you can eat whatever you want. Can you tell us why the Yin Season in Little Phoenix City turned into a clear season? Will the humans in Little Phoenix City be eaten up? "
Su Ze saw that they really dared to come and die, so he was more concerned about the fate of all the humans in Little Phoenix City. His impression of them improved a little. Their families were also sacrifices, and they could also be sacrifices. It could be seen that the choice of offerings before was also a helpless action of the weak, not a treacherous act of harming others. It also did not cause humans to flatter the ghosts. It could even be said that their hearts were selfless.
"All of you, get up." As Su Ze spoke, he dispersed the black Qi on his body.
