"Brother, what kind of sacrificial activity is this? It's our first time here and we didn't even know there was such excitement?" Hinata asked.

"It's the annual Poseidon getting married!"

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

"On March 15th every year, a grand wedding is held for the Poseidon. Several beauties in costumes are put on simple bamboo rafts, and then take advantage of the thick fog on the sea to push into the sea ten kilometers away from the coast. At that time, Poseidon will come to pick up his wife. 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 a waste of human life? Is it possible for those women to come back alive after being pushed into the sea like this?" Hinata Hikaru looked surprised.

Hinata Hiashi frowned slightly, shook his head at him, and whispered: "This is a custom, and it is not something outsiders like us can discuss casually."

Hinata nodded, and the three of them left the restaurant after finishing their meal.

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

The general story is this. Moon Town is surrounded by mountains on both sides, with a canyon in the middle. Although the city is not on a mountain, the terrain is not low.

This place used to be relatively stable, but seven years ago, a tsunami suddenly occurred here. After that, in order to pray for the peace of heaven and earth, people held sea sacrifices on the Chinese Valentine's Day every year.

In the beginning, offering sacrifices to the sea was nothing more than offering gifts to the sea, and the gifts were at best some cattle, sheep, fruits and other items.

It wasn't until three years ago that things changed.

Some time before March 15th, some people in Moon City and surrounding areas kept dreaming that Poseidon wanted a wife from them.

Although this incident became a rumor and spread quickly in Moon City and surrounding villages and towns, everyone knew that if a living person was sacrificed to the Poseidon, it would be murder.

Therefore, even if someone receives a dream from the God of the Sea, the sacrifices that year will still be the same as in previous years, including cattle, sheep, fruits, etc.

But unexpectedly, because of this, three days after the sacrifice, an earthquake suddenly occurred in Moon Bay, opposite Moon City, followed by an overwhelming tsunami that completely submerged the entire Moon Town and surrounding villages and fields.

That natural disaster resulted in numerous casualties and incalculable property losses.

From then on, in order to bring peace to the Poseidon, everyone donated money and asked people from the seven families of Moon City to offer living sacrifices to the Poseidon. From that time on, people changed the sacrificial activities into sea cucumbers and married women.

But strangely enough, from then on, as long as all the women sacrificed disappear, Moon City will be stable for a year without floods. If a woman manages to escape, there will be floods or earthquakes, and disasters will continue throughout the year. .

"Brother, haven't you asked a ninja to investigate this matter? What if someone does it deliberately?" Hinata Lanmo, who was sitting in the corner, heard everyone talking and asked.

"Of course I have, and this incident has also alarmed the Daimyo of the Kingdom of Water. The Daimyo has also made it clear that he wants to stop this incident, but how to stop it? This is the wish of so many people in Moon City. Besides, those ninjas are here to investigate. Come on, let's investigate. There aren't any clues yet? No, there are already many ninjas from various countries gathered in the city this year. Let's see what they can find out this year." A few people continued to drink.

After Rixin Lanmo had a hurried meal, he set out for the city. Sure enough, he saw many ninjas along the way. After inquiring, he found out that as long as he could investigate the cause of this incident and find out the murderer behind it, he could go to the Water. Receive the bounty from the country's Daimyo.

And these ninjas in the city are here for the bounty.

I heard from the people nearby that many ninjas have died at sea in the past two years for the bounty.

Why exactly did you die? But no one knows.

It’s just rumored that it was all punishment from Poseidon.

Hinata Lanmo found a hotel and stayed there.

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

Because there are still three days until the sacrifice ceremony, at this time, the two brides contributed by each of the seven major families in Moon City are still within their own families and are under strict supervision.

Hinata Lanmo quietly entered the Yamada family's house. The yard here is huge, and there are quite a few servants and caregivers inside.

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

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

He quietly came to the back window and sneaked inside.

"Don't cry, girl, this is your life. What can you do? You also want your parents to live a better life. Since they have accepted the Yamada family's money, you should obey the Yamada family's orders and go to bed in three days." After the wedding, it is like this anyway. Just admit it. You said you want to live or die, but the consequences are not the same. If you live to be the bride of the sea god, if you commit suicide, your parents will get nothing. Don’t tell them. Maybe, the people will take revenge on your family?"

Mrs. Xi's words came from the room, and Hinata Lanmo looked carefully. In the room, a woman was sitting on the edge of the bed wiping her tears. Through the Sharingan, she saw that she was just an ordinary person.

The same goes for the women in the other courtyard. Although they are not crying or making trouble, they are still ordinary people, and from their words, it seems that they are all women selected locally as brides for sacrifices.

After going to the other six major families and checking all of them, Hinata Lanmo was sure that the bride of the Poseidon sacrifice this time was indeed not the missing person of Lan Xiangmen.

So the Poseidon sacrifice has nothing to do with Lan Xiangmen’s missing person?

Since it has nothing to do with it, there is no need for him to meddle in this matter.

Reviewing the car at night, Hinata Lanmo did not stay and was about to leave Moon City. However, as soon as he came out of the canyon, he saw a group of people fighting in the distant mountains.

When he arrived, he realized that a group of people were attacking the three of them!

The fight between the two sides was extremely fierce. The group of people implemented a rotational combat plan. If the people inside could not defeat the people inside, the people outside would rush in and replace the people inside. In this way, everyone would have time to rest.

Back then, the Second Hokage died of exhaustion because he fought in a group with one person.

So sometimes, even for ninjutsu masters, there will be situations where a good dog cannot stand up to a pack of wolves.

For example, what Hinata Lanmo sees now.

Although he didn't know how long they had been fighting, it could be seen that the three people in the encirclement were already unable to withstand it.

And those three people were all known to him, Hinata Hikaru, Hinata Hikaru, and a member of the Hyuga family. At this time, the sunglasses on their faces had been taken off, and their white eyes could make people recognize them as Hinata at a glance. Family people.
