"This big brother, what kind of sacrificial activity? The first time we came here, we didn't know that there was such a lively?" Hyugaguang asked.

"It's the annual Poseidon marrying a wife!"

"Poseidon marries a wife? What do you mean?"

"On March 15th every year, a grand wedding is held for the god of the sea. A few beautiful women in costumes are placed on a simple bamboo raft. Then, taking advantage of the dense fog on the sea, they push into the sea ten kilometers away from the coast. At that time, Poseidon will collect his daughter-in-law by himself. As long as all the beauties disappear, it proves that Poseidon is very satisfied. If one returns or escapes, Poseidon will be angry!" The drinker continued to explain.

"Isn't that the life of Kuosuga? Those women are pushed into the sea like this, are they still able to come back alive?" Hyuga Guang looked surprised.

Hyuga Hizushin frowned slightly, shook his head at him, and whispered: "This is a custom, not something that outsiders like us can talk about."

Hyuga nodded, and the three of them left the restaurant after eating.

Hyuga Lanmo listened to their discussion while eating, and then got a general idea of ​​the matter.

The general thing is like this, Moon Town is backed by mountains on both sides, and in the middle is a canyon. Although the city is not healthy on the mountain, the terrain is not low.

It used to be stable here, but seven years ago, there was a tsunami here suddenly. After that, in order to pray for the peace of the world, the people held a sacrifice to the sea every year on Tanabata.

At the beginning, offering sacrifices to the sea was nothing more than a gift to the sea, and the gifts were at most some cattle, sheep, fruits and other things.

Until three years ago, things changed.

Some time before March 15th, some people in Moon City and the surrounding area constantly dreamed that the Seagod wanted a wife with them.

Although this incident was a rumors and spread quickly in Moon City and surrounding villages and towns, everyone knew that if you offered sacrifices to a living person to the Sea God, it would be murder.

Therefore, even if someone receives a dream from the god of the sea, the sacrifice for that year is still the same as in previous years, with cattle, sheep, fruits and other things.

However, because of this, three days after the ritual activities, the Moon Bay facing the Moon City suddenly experienced an earthquake, followed by an overwhelming tsunami that flooded the entire Moon Town and surrounding villages and fields.

There were countless casualties in that natural disaster, and the loss of property was even more unpredictable.

Since then, in order to keep the sea god peaceful, everyone donated money and asked the people of the seven families of Moon City to sacrifice the living people to the sea god. Since then, people have changed the sacrificial activity to the sea cucumber marrying a daughter-in-law.

But it’s strange to say that from then on, as long as all the women who worshipped all disappeared, Moon City would be stable for a year without flooding. If a woman successfully escapes, then it will be either a flood or an earthquake, and disasters will continue throughout that year. .

"Brother, haven't we investigated this matter with a ninja? What happens if someone deliberately does it?" Hyuga Lanmo sitting in the corner heard everyone talking and asked.

"Definitely please, and this incident has also shocked the Daimyo of the Water Country, and the daimyo has also made it clear that he will stop this incident, but how to stop it? This is the wish of so many people in Moon City. Besides, those ninjas are here. Investigate Come and investigate, haven’t there been any clues? No, many ninjas from various countries have gathered in the city this year. It depends on what they can find out this year?” Several people continued to drink.

After having a meal in a hurry, Nissin Lanmo set off for the city. Along the way, she saw a lot of ninjas. After inquiring, she knew. As long as she can investigate the cause of this incident and find out the murderer behind the scenes, she can go to Shuizhi Receive the bounty from the National University.

And these ninjas in the city came for the reward.

I heard from the people nearby that there are not a few ninjas who have died at sea in the past two years for the reward.

Why did you die? No one knows.

It was just rumored that it was the punishment of Poseidon.

Hyuga Lanmo found a hotel and stayed in.

That night, he went to the land of the seven families, he wanted to see if those so-called brides were from their Lan Xiangmen.

Because there are still three days to arrive at the ceremonial ceremony, at the moment, the two brides contributed by each of the seven families of Moon City are still in their own clan and are strictly guarded.

Hyuga Lanmo quietly entered the courtyard of the Yamada family. The courtyard was huge, and there were a lot of servants and caretakers.

Passing through the front yard, is the inner house, and the place with the most guards and the most fancy furnishings should be the so-called place where the bride lives.

From a distance, Hyuga Lanmo heard the woman's cry.

He quietly came to the back window and sneaked into the room.

"Don't cry girl, this is your life, what can you do? You also want your parents to live a better life, since they took the money from the Yamada family, you should obey the Yamada family's orders, and go there obediently in three days. It’s like this anyway. If you recognize it, you say you are going to die, and the consequences are not the same. If you live to be the bride of the Seagod, if you commit suicide, your parents won’t have to say anything. Maybe the people will retaliate against your family?"

Mrs. Xi's words came from the room. Hyuga Lanmo looked carefully. In the room, a woman was sitting by the bed wiping her tears. Looking through the writing wheel, she was just an ordinary person.

The same is true for the woman in the other yard. Although she did not cry, she was an ordinary person, and listening to their words seemed to be a woman selected locally as the bride for the sacrifice.

After going to the other six major families to check all of them, Hyuga Lanmo confirmed that the bride of the sea god this time was indeed not the one who had disappeared from Lan Xiangmen.

So the Seagod's sacrifice has nothing to do with Lan Xiangmen's missing person?

Since it's irrelevant, he doesn't need to worry about this nosy.

...

Checking the car in the night, Hyuga Lanmo did not linger and was about to leave Moon City, but as soon as he left the canyon, he saw a group of people fighting in the distant mountains.

When he arrived, he realized that it was a group of hot besieging three people!

The fighting between the two sides was extremely fierce. The group of people implemented a rotation plan. If the people inside couldn't fight, the outsiders rushed in and replaced the insiders. In this way, everyone had time to rest.

The second generation of Hokage back then died of exhaustion because of a team battle with everyone.

So sometimes even a master of ninjutsu, there will be scenes where a good dog can't stand a pack of wolves.

For example, the picture that Hyuga Lanmo sees now.

Although he didn't know how long they had been playing, it could be seen that the three people in the encircled circle could no longer stand it.

And those three people are all he knows, Hyuga Hippo, Hikari, and a member of the Hyuga family. At the moment, the sunglasses on their faces have been removed, and those white eyes can make people recognize them at a glance. A member of the Hyuga family.
