Xiaocao calmly met the gaze of the high priest of Shangmei, and said slowly: "Who is the result of divination who is most likely to become a sacrifice, and if this is the case, who will this generation be?"

High Priest Mei's lips moved, and after a while, he said, "No matter who you are, you should dedicate everything to Futu, this is a group discipline, and it cannot be violated. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Xiaocao nodded and said: "That's right, this is the ancestral training passed down from generation to generation by the Futu people, but mother, have you ever thought about what this supreme ancestral training is for?"

High Priest Mei was stunned when asked, yes, for so many years, strict implementation of the ancestral training is the concept she has been instilled since she was a child, the sacred and strict ancestral training is left by the first generation of high priests after arriving on the island, naturally there is a reason, thinking of this, she said seriously: "The ancestral training is naturally to protect my Futu people, in order to let the Futu royal family be passed on from generation to generation, this is the rule left by the ancestors with their lives, and it cannot be desecrated." ”

Listening to the implied warning in High Priest Mei's words, Xiaocao did not flinch, but slowed down his tone and said: "Mother, I understand, understand that it is not easy for us Futu people to stick to it from generation to generation, and understand that Niang's duties and persistence as a high priest, but Mother, if you just say, it is the people of Futu who come first, isn't it?"

High Priest Mei was a little relieved, feeling that his daughter was really sensible, so he naturally nodded and said: "Of course, the people of Futu are the ones we should protect the most, they are kind, weak, and trust us wholeheartedly, we should protect them." ”

Xiao Caoxin said, "That's easy", she took the hand of High Priest Mei and said: "Mother, since this is the case, then let me be the sacrifice this time, let me protect the daughters of those Futu people, so that they don't have to bear the pain of life and death." ”

High Priest Mei was shocked, she didn't expect Xiaocao to put forward such an idea, and said hurriedly: "Xiaocao, how can you have such an idea, the selection of the sacrificial candidates is chosen by God, and the results of divination have nothing to do with you, don't be impulsive." ”

Xiaocao looked at the worried and anxious face of High Priest Mei, and her heart warmed, this cold woman still has a strong maternal love in her heart, no worse than any ordinary mother, she held High Priest Mei's hand tightly, and said softly: "Mother, you tell me who the result of divination is?"

High Priest Mei didn't hesitate this time, "It's the daughter of the Bai family." ”

Xiaocao was surprised, and was surprised when she heard it for the first time: "Bai Xinxin? ”

High Priest Mei only thought that Xiaocao was worried about his friend, and said with a straight look: "Xiaocao, this is God's choice, no matter who it is, you should gladly accept it and dedicate yourself to Futu, I know that you and the girl of the Bai family are good sisters, but this is a big thing, and you can't be a child." ”

Xiaocao smiled, "Mother, I only ask you, do you think the White Island Lord will willingly send his daughter to the altar?"

High Priest Mei was stunned for a moment, and said as a matter of course: "Of course, I am also a mother, and I also know the pain, but if the result of divination is you, I will also personally send you to the altar." ”

Xiaocao shook her head and said, "If it's a mother, I naturally won't doubt it, but the Lord of the White Island ......"

High Priest Mei frowned and asked, "How about the White Island Lord, you can make it clear." ”

Xiaocao seemed to have made up her mind, nodded and said: "Mother, the Bai family is happy to have a daughter, and the Bai Island Lord has a lot of ambitions, but I am afraid that he will not be willing to listen to the results of divination." ”

High Priest Mei has a cold temperament and does not want to be contaminated with mundane affairs, but it doesn't mean that she doesn't understand, Xiaocao said that she has already understood the meaning of this statement, this kind of thing has never been lacking in the royal family in the past, and now the Futu Dynasty is declining, but how can High Priest Mei not understand, she thought for a moment and frowned and asked: "But the Bai family is just a daughter, what else can they do?"

Xiaocao gently spit out a few words, "His Highness Qingchuan." ”

High Priestess Mei suddenly realized, and suddenly felt troublesome, she had unconsciously begun to rely on Xiaocao, and always wanted to hear her opinion, if this matter was not reminded by Xiaocao, I was afraid that there would be big trouble at that time, and she asked: "You have gone around in such a big circle, what do you want to say to your mother?"

Xiaocao was happy, and said with a flattering smile: "Mother is the most wise and martial, and she can't hide anything from your eyes." ”

"You," High Priest Mei nodded Xiaocao's forehead, feeling a lot more relaxed because of her coquettishness, "If you have anything to say, don't sell it." ”

Xiaocao pulled the high priest Mei to sit down, pondered for a moment and said: "Mother, back then, the ancestors came here to settle down in order to avoid the disaster of war, and sacrificed sacrifices in order to protect the Futu royal family, which was all helpless, but now, you see, what is the development of our Futu? Whether it is skills or numbers, we have not made any progress, hiding in this isolated island, completely losing the progress and input of the outside world, if we continue like this, don't we worry that one day we will repeat the mistakes of the past and be exterminated by evil people?"

The high priest can be said to be the most learned person on the island, whether it is the collection of books brought out back then, or other knowledge, no one is more familiar than the high priest, and the more he knows, he will naturally think, Xiaocao said that the high priest Mei has not thought about it, but the ancestral training and inheritance do not allow her to question, and now hearing this, the high priest Mei sighed, after all, he still did not speak.

Xiaocao was not disappointed when she saw this, she didn't expect to be able to move the high priest Mei in a few words, but just said according to her pre-organized words: "Let's talk about this sacrifice, every generation of a living girl, in order to continue the bloodline of Futu sacrificed, you said that there must be sacrifices to achieve great things, I understand, but after so many years, haven't we paid off the murder committed by Futu? Do you want to continue to abide by this cruel rule and send away a girl who should have laughed in the sun, married and had children?"

High Priestess Mei felt a pain in her heart, she could communicate with heaven and earth, perceive the most subtle tremors of nature, and her mind was the most delicate, how could she not be heartbroken by this, how could she not be heartbroken by this, how could she want to watch an innocent girl being sacrificed like this, because she was unwilling to divinate the result, not that she couldn't, but she couldn't bear it.

"Now the Futu is no longer the Futu of the past, people's hearts will change, the times will change, if there was no strong enough reason to support us to change before, then now, mother, we must act, otherwise even if you want to adhere to the ancestral teachings, it will also provoke the actions of people with hearts, and then the civil strife will only consume our strength, and it is the people of Futu who suffer, the people of Futu who have been guarded by the high priest for generations. ”

How terrible is the desire for power, Xiaocao knows very well, there will really be a conflict at that time, I am afraid that these few remnants of Futu will be destroyed by internal disasters, this realistic and cruel reason is that Gu Qingchuan and her discussed the facts and gradually recognized the fact that people are unwilling to change, and sometimes they can only make a choice at the moment of life and death.

At this point, Gu Qingchuan was more ruthless than Xiaocao, and he also saw it more thoroughly, as if he was out of the ordinary.
