Ah Da immediately shook his head when he heard Yu Qingqian's question.

   "No, no one in the village has seen the sea **** in the portrait for so many years, and there is no record in the annals."

   Fengchen thought for a while and asked, "The image of the sea **** drawn on the portrait was also given to you by the high priest?"

  Ada replied: "Well, the portrait was given by the high priest. He said that as long as there is the protection of the sea god, those blood sea monsters will be afraid, and the time to attack the village will be prolonged."

"But that's true, since the portrait of the sea **** was enshrined and sacrificed every few years, the incident of blood sea monsters attacking the village that would have occurred in a few years or ten years has been extended to about twenty years. "

"It's just that this recent incident is a bit surprising, because there was only one **** sea monster attacking the village eight years ago, so several village chiefs are discussing whether we have done something bad and offended the sea god, we should start Ready to sacrifice."

  Lin Mingze asked curiously again: "What is the so-called sacrifice? That is, what do you usually sacrifice?"

   A Da was silent for a moment. This was originally a secret between Bloodmist Village and the high priest. He also knew some of the secret things because he was a child adopted by the village chief, so he was torn between telling the three of them.

  From what he has seen since he grew up, Ah Da didn't have deep respect for the high priest and the sea **** in his heart, and even had an inexplicable doubt, but he couldn't find a clue.

   Seeing that Ah Da was silent and hesitating, the three of them didn't need to urge them, they walked quietly and waited whether he would choose to speak out.

   After about half the time of the incense stick, Ah Da made up his mind, looked at the transparent mask around them again, and said, "What we sacrifice are souls."

   "Sacrificing the soul?" Yu Qingqian and the three were all a little surprised.

Ah Da nodded: "Well, the people in the village are very fertile, a family will have a new baby every year, and then because of the harsh environment, etc., every year in each village, half of the children will be born. Babies born on the left and right will die. Therefore, each village chief will collect the souls of these babies and sacrifice them to the sea **** when they reach a certain amount."

Ah Da himself is a little disgusted by this kind of practice. He thinks things should not be so simple. In fact, the village chief and the prestige elders in the village also think it is not easy, but there is no other way but to do it, otherwise It will bring disaster to the village.

   Yu Qingqian frowned when he heard this sacrifice method, "The soul of a newborn baby is the purest, so the so-called sea **** actually asks you to sacrifice with this kind of soul, it must not be a good thing."

Ah Da sighed: "Who knows, but don't say this in the village, Miss, now many villagers worship and fear the sea **** and the high priest very deeply, and they are afraid that they will accidentally offend the sea **** and punish them in the future. I'm going to suffer again."

   "Have some of your village chiefs met the high priest?" Feng Chen asked.

Ah Da thought for a while and said, "Whenever several village chiefs offer sacrifices, the high priest presides over them, but I heard from the village chiefs that all they see are the shadows of the high priest, and as for Zhenrong, they are not fortunate enough to see them. ."

  Yu Qingqian raised her eyebrows: "The high priest seems to be quite mysterious. I don't know if he is really that powerful, or he is pretending to be a ghost."

   Ah Da wanted to stop her saying this, otherwise it would be troublesome for the high priest to hear.

   He could see that the transparent mask around him held back again, and he had an inexplicable illusion that these three people were more reliable than the high priest.
