Chapter 172 Gate of the Spiritual Sea

Then the middle-aged priest and the four most active men were tied up by Zhuang Hong and thrown into the river.

The splash they made when they fell into the fast-flowing river was no bigger than the splash made by others.

Zhuang Hong saw that all the villagers around him were dumbfounded, so he explained: "I just heard from the River God that he does not need young girls to sacrifice, and his taste is a bit more tricky. He said that from now on, anyone who proposes a living sacrifice will be thrown to him.

He, he will be able to keep you safe and sound every year."

After saying that, he put his two fingers together and thought.

"Click!"

The sword box on the lower back slid open from the side, and two rays of white light flew out, streaking across the chains on the hands and feet of Qiao Darong and Alan.

"Dang Dang!"

After several crisp sounds, the tough chains broke, and Qiao Darong and Alan regained their freedom.

Seeing this, the villagers knelt down and worshiped Zhuang Hong in horror, saying that the gods had appeased him.

Zhuang Hong was really too lazy to communicate with this group of ignorant villagers, and he didn't want to stay here for a long time. He took back the flying sword and left directly through the crowd.

Seeing this, Qiao Darong immediately helped Alan up and followed Zhuang Hong.

After this incident, he no longer wanted to stay in this village. He wanted to take Alan away and fly away.

At this moment, Alan's father shouted: "Alan, where are you going? Stop right here."

Alan shuddered, but she did not look back and staggered away after Qiao Darong.

She has been completely disappointed in her relatives. Now the only ones who can give him a sense of security are Qiao Darong and Zhuang Hong who are walking in front.

She didn't want to stay in this beautiful but terrifying place for a moment longer.

"If you leave today, I won't take care of this daughter!"

Qiao Darong couldn't help but turned around and roared: "Get out of here, it's gone a long time ago! From today on, my surname, Qiao Darong, and Alan are no longer Qiao, and we no longer have anything to do with Qiao Village!"

A group of villagers were shocked and angry. They wanted to rush forward and drive the rebellious Qiao Darong back, but they were afraid that Zhuang Hong, who was walking in front, would turn around and throw them into the river to feed the river god...

We can only watch Zhuang Hong and the others walking further and further away.

At this time, someone asked: "The priest was thrown into the river, do you want to save him?"

Someone said in a low voice: "What the hell, save the priest, and then go down and feed the river god?"

After one sentence, everyone fell silent.

But the death of the priest made them deeply worried about the future. During this period, they, Qiao Village, relied on priest Qiao to bully other surrounding villages. If they knew that priest Qiao was dead, it would be bad.

.

…

After Zhuang Hong left the village, he glanced to one side from the corner of his eye.

They saw a person following them quietly.

However, Zhuang Hong ignored him and just let it go for the time being, intending to see what the sneaky guy wanted to do.

He looked back at Qiao Darong who was following behind him, and asked curiously: "Where are you planning to go next?"

Qiao Darong was carrying Alan on his back, following Zhuang Hong step by step. Hearing this, he replied: "I don't know, as long as we don't stay here, we can go anywhere. I want to take Alan to a distant place where no one knows us."

Zhuang Hong: "I see that the surrounding fields are pretty good and there are no signs of flooding. Why do the villagers still hold human sacrifices?"

Qiao Darong was silent for a moment, gritted his teeth and said: "Sacrifice to the River God is held once a year. As for whether to use living people, it is up to the devil-like Priest Qiao to decide. No one dares to resist if he obeys the instructions of the River God.

They are afraid of being thrown into the river. There are also many stupid people who believe that there is a river god in the river, and they also believe that Priest Qiao is the spokesperson of the river god...

In fact, there is no such thing as a river god. He just uses the name of the river god to control Qiaozhuang. Anyone who dares not to listen to him will openly throw the villagers into the river in the name of the river god."

Zhuang Hong glanced at Alan who was lying behind Qiao Darong and asked, "Why did she offend that priest Qiao?"

Qiao Darong: "Priest Qiao fell in love with Alan and wanted Alan to serve him, but Alan and I had already made a private decision for life. How could we agree to his beastly request? After several threats failed, he decided to throw Alan into the river.

...I tried several times but failed to rescue Alan."

Having said this, Qiao Darong gritted his teeth with hatred, but at this time, Priest Qiao was probably dead, and he had no target to vent his hatred, and he could only feel a tightness in his chest.

He vaguely felt something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

When I thought of the villagers in Qiaozhuang, I couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness in my heart.

Zhuang Hong nodded: "That's it."

If someone is disobedient, he will be killed directly. After other people see it, they will become very well-behaved. He can do whatever he wants in Qiaozhuang. If anyone wants to resist, he must consider the consequences.

The most important thing is that Priest Qiao has also mastered extraordinary power.

Zhuang Hong asked: "What was the water column that Priest Qiao released at you before? Is it a spell?"

Qiao Darong was surprised: "You are not a rune master?"

Zhuang Hong shook his head: "No. Let's talk about it, I'm very curious."

Qiao Darong was shocked. Couldn't a rune master have such a powerful power?

Incredible!

"I heard it from hearsay, and I don't know the details. It is said that there is a group of very mysterious people in the world who master the secrets of magical runes and have the power to destroy the world.

Such people are called rune masters, but many people like to call rune masters divine envoys.

They believe that the rune master is the spokesperson of the gods, the rune master is the tool for the gods to control the world, and those magical runes are the language used by the gods to communicate with the gods.

Except for Priest Qiao, I have never seen any other rune masters, but from him, I did not see what a divine envoy should be like. I only saw his despicability and greed, so I never thought of a rune master.

Messengers of the gods. They are just stronger ordinary people.

It's a pity that I can't beat him, he defeated me with just a spell."

Zhuang Hong: "Where can I learn runes?"

Qiao Darong shook his head: "I don't know. I also want to learn runes and become a rune master to kill those bad scum. However, I heard that the 'Linghai Gate' is the holy land of rune masters. I don't know if it is true or not.

Where is the Gate of the Spiritual Sea? If you want to go, you can ask everywhere."

Through simple communication with Qiao Darong, Zhuang Hong had a general understanding of the civilization of this world.

To put it simply, there are not many rune masters. It is difficult for ordinary people to see rune masters. Even if they see them, they may not be able to identify them.

To ordinary people, rune masters are a group of powerful and mysterious people. They not only possess powerful power, but can also communicate directly with gods and assist local governments in managing the world.

Zhuang Hong heard from Qiao Darong's words that in fact, rune masters are a group of scholars who study the power of runes, which not only requires a lot of time, but also consumes a lot of resources.

Therefore, some rune masters who were not wealthy relied on the major families to survive and continued to study runes with the support of the major families.

Their goal is most likely to use runes to explore the mysteries of the world and the universe. They may even want to use runes to study how to obtain eternal life like immortal cultivators.

Like Priest Qiao, there are not many people who have too little talent and have learned two or three talismans before going directly to the countryside to enjoy life.

Maybe it is this type of people that the rune master community despises the most.

From the very beginning, Zhuang Hong met rune masters like Priest Qiao, which made him not have a good impression of rune masters. He thought that these rune masters were all a bunch of bad guys.

This is not actually the case.

Zhuang Hong secretly said: "These rune masters are a bit like the mysterious wizards in fantasy worlds."

Suddenly, his heart was filled with the expectation of communicating with a real rune master, and his thirst for knowledge was instantly raised to the highest level.

"What are runes? What are talismans? What is their so-called source of power..."

What he cares most about is whether he can gain stronger power after learning the runes!

Two hours later, the three of them arrived at the town closest to Qiao Zhuang. Zhuang Hong asked Qiao Darong: "We have arrived in the town. What are your plans?"

Qiao Darong patted his belt and lowered his voice: "Before I left, I quietly sneaked into Priest Qiao's house to get some money. I don't have to worry about food and accommodation in a short period of time. I plan to go to a farther place to learn a craft from a teacher first, and accumulate enough

I will take all the trouble, and then take Alan with me to find the Gate of the Spiritual Sea. I also want to become a rune master."

Zhuang Hong smiled and said: "I wish you good luck."

In Zhuang Hong's view, the best opportunity to find the Gate of the Spiritual Sea and become a rune master is now.

If Qiao Darong really goes as planned and finds a place to learn a craft and save money, he will most likely fall into the whirlpool of life and be unable to escape.

He will live an ordinary life with Alan, raising children, saving money that will never be enough, and doing things that will never be finished, until one day he suddenly wakes up and wants to find the gate of the spiritual sea, and discovers

I can no longer walk.

The life of ordinary people is generally the same.

But Zhuang Hong didn't say anything. After all, everyone has their own plans and choices.

There is nothing right or wrong.

Time will always pass slowly, and it will be over when it is over.

Wonderful or mediocre, it makes no difference.
