Chapter 57: This Matter Has Other Secrets
"Ahem."
That's because there is a saying in the Xiong family that after becoming the island master's wife, you must receive the blessing of the sea god to give birth to a man and a woman, otherwise you will not be able to have children for life.
There is only one way to be blessed by the sea god, that is, to enter the magic circle of the island master's pavilion and baptize for forty-nine days.
When you go out on the fiftieth day, you can give birth to a son and a daughter, all of which are the island owner and his wife's biological son. There is no falsehood.
[It sounds pretty good. There is nothing strange about it.]
Originally, everyone was stunned when they heard Mr. Lin talk about this, there was no problem at all!
But what happened next made everyone shocked.
It turns out that this blessing comes at a price.
That is, when the man and woman are eighteen years old, they must sink their daughter into the deep sea to worship, otherwise their mothers, the island master's wife, will be cursed again and will never have children for life.
After hearing this, everyone suddenly realized why Mr. Lin took Xiong Lan'er away and why he claimed to let her live happily.
What is the difference between treating other people's lives like grass carp in this way and the demons' sacrifices to live people in exchange for cultivation?
How could Su Mo and the others sit still?
"Why should I abandon both after giving birth, and why should I choose to abandon my newborn child in exchange for my complete body?"
Du Ling'er's voice sounded slowly, her tone was so sad, melancholy, uneasy, and puzzled...
When everyone heard the sound, they could not help but lower their heads and think that this kind of behavior is indeed unfamiliar. But this is ultimately a transaction. Since they have accepted the blessings of the sea god, they must return the sea god a daughter according to the regulations...
"Tread...Tread. Fast, fast, fast. Speed support."
At this moment, for some reason, a burst of rapid footsteps suddenly came from outside the door. When everyone heard the sound, they hurriedly closed the door and looked at their original position.
After discovering that it was the group of patrolling cultivators, they closed the door: "What's the situation? Could it be that they were discovered?"
After closing the door, Su Mo looked back and saw Du Ling'er's eyes wide open and she asked everyone with disbelief.
"It shouldn't be. Mr. Lin used a fake identity when boarding the ship. He didn't walk around after boarding the ship. He shouldn't be found."
Looking at Tan Xi's performance at this time, although he said that he probably wouldn't, he was already worried about Mr. Lin and Xiong Lan'er.
While shaking his head, he kept walking back and forth in the house.
Seeing this, Su Mo and Du Feng couldn't help but become nervous. After all, they had already accused the Xiong family of crimes in their hearts, which meant that they had chosen to help Mr. Lin.
"Go out and have a look. It's not a way to guess here."
In the end, everyone chose to go out to check and act separately at Su Mo's suggestion.
Du Feng and Du Ling'er were on standby in the house to adapt to the situation just in case. Su Mo and Tan Xi went out to inspect and inspect the truth.
Soon, Su Mo and Tan Xi came outside the Lin Lao Gate. As expected, the group of immortal cultivators stood in the house. After closer inspection, they did not find any traces of Lin Lao and Xiong Lan'er. I thought that they had already received the news and left early.
Seeing this, Su Mo and Tan Xi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. They turned around and prepared to return to the room to inform the Du brother and sister.
"Young Master, there is not much time left. If you can't find the lady, you and your wife will......"
After hearing what his subordinates said, Xiong Qian immediately raised his hand to stop him, realizing that he should not continue to say anything, let alone mention this matter.
Then he turned around and looked at the cultivators: "Increase the search and be sure to find Lan'er before arriving at the Tian Yao Continent."
After saying that, he waved his hand and let everyone disperse soon, so as not to attract attention from others.
At this moment, Su Mo and Tan Xi, not far away, heard all the conversations unbiasedly, with a look of confusion and confusion.
"Old Tan, do you think this matter is not that simple?"
"There are indeed some suspicious things, so I want to confirm with Lan'er after she wakes up."
After hearing the words of the subordinate next to Xiong Qian, Su Mo and the others were shaken a little. This matter was definitely not as simple as Mr. Lin said.
There must be something hidden behind it that they don’t know.
For example, why did Mr. Lin take Lan'er on this merchant ship? Isn't this merchant ship heading to the Tianyao Continent?
Since I escaped, why did I come back again?
Thinking of this, Su Mo and Tan Xi couldn't help but speed up a lot. After returning to the room, they hurriedly said to the Du brother and sister.
Upon hearing the sound, Du Ling'er took the lead in saying that there was indeed something suspicious.
How could parents give up their children because of temporary greed?
What's more, there is already a son and a daughter, what's the use of having children next?
Speaking of this, Du Feng slapped his thighs again as if he suddenly realized it, and suddenly stood up: "We were deceived, the old man didn't tell the truth, and the punishment for sea cucumbers felt that it was more than that.
According to the information you heard, punishment is likely to affect Xiong, or even the entire Xiong family.”
As soon as these words were said, everyone turned their heads and praised them. It was no wonder, it was rare that this wine girl could see something from it, and she was not considered a child of a playboy.
