"There is one minute left." Fang Yu glanced at the time on the phone, then looked at the stone platform ahead.
He felt that the ground in front of the stone platform exudes a faint array of power.
There seems to be a small magic circle set up at that location!
As time got closer and closer to ten o'clock, the surroundings became quieter and quieter.
To the back, almost everyone was holding their breath, and only a little wind could be heard.
Soon, the time came to ten o'clock.
"bass!"
The sky above the platform, that is, the sky above the heads of the representatives of the families, glowed with a burst of colorful light.
Everyone raised their heads, looking at the light in the sky, their eyes were extremely excited.
Fang Yu frowned slightly looking at the colorful light.
The light continued to radiate, and a graceful figure slowly condensed in the middle of it.
Soon, this figure took shape, and colorful rays of light surrounded her.
As the brightness of the colorful light gradually weakened, the true body in it slowly appeared.
Goddess Qin Yao!
Today's Goddess Qin Yao, wearing a white tulle dress, is completely different in style and temperament from yesterday.
But her face was still covered with a piece of tulle, only a pair of eyes were exposed.
With long hair draped around his waist, fluttering in the wind.
"I have seen the goddess Qin Yao!" The representatives of the aristocratic families below, including the Yuan family and the Fu family, bowed their heads, clasped their fists in their hands, and greeted them in unison.
Their posture is very low.
The goddess Qin Yao floats in mid-air, like a fairy who is immortal, her eyes are misty, and she sweeps the people below without any emotion.
Then, she noticed Fang Yu and Bai Ran, the only ones in the crowd who did not bow their heads.
The two of them stared straight at her.
The goddess Qin Yao frowned slightly, but she didn't care too much.
"Thank you all benefactors for coming to participate in today's sacrifice ceremony." The goddess Qin Yao made a pleasant voice.
The representatives of the families below raised their heads.
"Next, the sacrificial ceremony officially begins." said the goddess Qin Yao.
As soon as the voice fell, she raised her right hand and flicked it forward.
There was a little light scattered under her sleeves and fell down.
The star-like light fell on the stone platform below, and it seemed to trigger some kind of mechanism, bursting with dazzling light!
Many people turned their heads away to prevent the glare from hurting their eyes.
But at this time, Fang Yu stared at the stone platform in front of him.
He clearly saw that a phantom in the light slowly expanded!
After a few seconds, the light dissipated, and the phantom shadow turned into an entity!
A humanoid statue!
"This is... the human statue on the top floor of the Shashen Temple that I saw yesterday with the Eye of Insight..." Fang Yu's eyes flashed and said in his heart.
But the statue in front of me is different from what I saw yesterday.
The head of the statue I saw yesterday was covered by black cloth.
However, the head of the statue in front of him is not covered by anything.
This is an ordinary male face.
He raised his hands and merged his palms to form a complicated gesture.
Fang Yu noticed this point yesterday, but didn't study it carefully.
Recently, seeing this statue again, Fang Yu was very concerned about this gesture.
"This gesture... seems to be pinching a trick? But what's the point of being sculpted like this?" Fang Yu frowned.
The appearance of the statue caused a sigh from the crowd in the distance.
Such a large statue just appeared out of thin air.
Such a scene is shocking enough for most people.
"Please, donors, offer your tribute."
In the midair, Goddess Qin Yao spoke again.
Tribute
Fang Yu saw the representatives of the family in front, and took out the tribute they prepared from their storage bags, and walked towards the statue in front.
When they reached a position about ten meters away from the statue, the group of people stopped tacitly and lined up in a queue.
The first people who got out of the queue were the Yuan family couple, Yuan Chenglong and Fu Zhaorong.
The two held hands, Yuan Chenglong holding a gift box in his left hand, walked to the statue, and placed the gift box on the ground in front of the stone platform below the statue.
After that, the two men knelt down and kowtow to the statue in front of them.
After kowtowing the three heads, the two raised their heads, their eyes closed tightly, their expressions were pious, as if they were making a wish.
After about three seconds, the two stood up.
"bass!"
At this time, the statue in front of them, the hands that made strange gestures, showed a burst of white light.
"Patter!"
Then, a book that was not too thick fell from between his hands.
Yuan Chenglong immediately stretched out his hands to catch the book, his expression extremely excited.
"Thank you Sand God for this..." Yuan Chenglong and Fu Zhaorong bowed together, respectfully and gratefully.
At this time, the civilians who watched the excitement in the distance all opened their eyes wide and exclaimed.
"The rumors are indeed true! The Sand God has appeared!"
"As long as you offer tribute to the sand god statue, and then make a wish for the items you want, the sand god will give the gods!"
"Oh my God... It's actually true... I want to go up too..."
Amidst the crowd, sighs and sighs of envy came from the crowd.
At this time, Yuan Chenglong and Fu Zhaorong had already walked back into the crowd.
Immediately after going out, the Fu family, Fu Yousheng and Yuan Jiangmei.
The two repeated what Yuan Chenglong and his wife had done before.
After offering the tribute and making a wish, the hands of the statue glowed again.
"Patter!"
This time, it was not a book that fell, but a dagger glowing with cold light!
Fu Yousheng picked up the dagger, held it in his hand, and after a brief observation, he hurriedly bent over and thanked it.
"This is too amazing... Is it true that you can get what you want by wishing?" Bai Ran's eyes were shocked, and she whispered.
Fang Yu looked at the statue in front, then turned to look in the direction of Yuan Chenglong and his wife who had just returned.
With amazing eyesight, he was able to see the cover of the book in Yuan Chenglong's hand, which read the four words "Dao Fa Chun Ran".
"This is a magic secret book." Fang Yu's eyes flashed, and he looked at Fu Yousheng, "It's a dagger... It's indeed a different item."
"It can also be seen from their looks that they get what they want. It's just..."
"interesting."
Fang Yu raised his eyes and looked at the statue in front of him, then raised his head and looked at the goddess Qin Yao in the mid-air with a fluttering long skirt.
At this time, the third person stepped forward.
This person comes from the Cheng family in the western capital and is also a top family.
As in the previous process, after the tribute was placed, the Cheng family head made a pious wish.
But this time, the statue's hands glowed, but nothing was dropped.
After waiting for a while, the Patriarch of the Cheng family paled, shook his head and sighed helplessly, bent over and bowed, and said: "I'm extremely sorry, this time I didn't offer the tribute that the gods love... This is a mistake... Please believe the sand god, next time. I will definitely prepare better tributes..."
Seeing this scene, the crowd in the distance broke out again in exclamation.
It turns out that it's not a tribute, you can definitely get a gift!
If you want to get the gift of the Sand God, you also need to offer the tribute it fancy!
When the Patriarch of the Cheng family returned to the crowd, someone comforted him.
"Patriarch Cheng, there is no need to be too depressed. I didn't get the gift this time. I will definitely have it next time."
"Well, next time I will definitely prepare better tributes and take out all the family heirlooms!" Cheng Family Patriarch said decisively.
But except for a few comforting people, most of the other family representatives' eyes flashed gloating.
The gods bestowed by the sand gods have a high probability of changing the strength of a family.
The Cheng family didn't get the gift this time, so the later family had a chance to catch up!
At this time, Fang Yu looked at the statue, his eyes became interesting.
He was not so sure before.
But after seeing the end of the Cheng Family Patriarch, he was basically sure that the so-called sacrificial ceremony was actually a large-scale money-gathering activity, or even a scam!
Fang Yu basically wanted to understand the doorway.
Next, one after another representatives of the family walked forward and offered meticulously prepared tributes.
Through their pious vows, some people can get the gift, and some people can't get it.
The faces of those who received the gift were filled with excitement, while those who did not receive the gift were filled with sad faces and sighed.
These two emotions were quite vivid, and in the following period of time, they changed and appeared on everyone's face.
