Chapter 304: The Ritual Begins
The morning breeze was blowing slightly, the grass was swaying like waves with the breeze, and the herdsmen tribe was supposed to be vibrant, but it was lifeless, and the faces of the herdsmen showed a gloomy color, and no one was willing to exchange the lives of the tribesmen for that moment of peace.
"Little brother Mo Yu, here are some changes of clothes and jerky, these are all prepared for you by my sister-in-law, bring them all. Dorn forced a smile and handed a package to Mo Yu in his hand.
"Brother Dorne, sister-in-law Vera, goodbye. Mo Yu took the package and thanked the two of them slightly.
"I wish you a good time to find your way home. ”
Dorne and Vera blessed Mo Yu with a blessing that whether Mo Yu would return to the tribe in the future, they knew that this was the last time they would see Mo Yu, and that three days later, the couple would leave with their daughter.
"Thank you. Mo Yu nodded, then carried the package on his back and walked towards the horse.
"Brother Mo Yu, wait for me!"
Just as Mo Yu was riding the horse and leaving, Prima's shouts came from behind, and Prima ran out of the tribe panting and came to Mo Yu's side.
"Brother Mo Yu, this is a gift for you, I hope it can bring you luck and find your way home as soon as possible. ”
Prima opened her palm and handed Mo Yu a small wood carving with a four-leaf clover pattern, which was a gift she had made herself.
"Prima, thank you for the gift. ”
Mo Yu took the small wooden carving in Prima's hand, carefully put it in his arms, and then hugged Prima.
"It's good if the big brother likes it. Prima smiled.
"Prima, listen to your parents, I will definitely come back on the day of the tribal ceremony, this is a secret between us, and we can't tell anything else. Mo Yu patted Prima's little head and whispered.
"Brother Mo Yu, are you serious?" Prima raised her head and looked at Mo Yu with teary eyes.
Mo Yu smiled and nodded, touched Lima's little head, and didn't continue to say more, stomped on the soles of his feet, and jumped on the back of the horse on the side.
"Goodbye, everyone. Mo Yu waved his hand, and then shook the reins, and rode away.
"Brother Mo Yu, goodbye. ”
"Little brother Mo Yu, goodbye. ”
The three of Dorn also waved their hands to Mo Yu, looking a little lost, quietly waiting for Mo Yu's back to completely disappear into the grassland before turning around and walking towards the tribe.
"Prima, what did Brother Mo Yu tell you just now?" Dorn asked.
"Brother Mo Yu asked me to listen to my parents and come to visit us in the future. ”
Prima was silent for a moment, and then whispered, she knew that she couldn't lie, but she promised Mo Yu's brother that he couldn't talk about things, and he could only talk about Mo Yu's words.
Dorne nodded, not paying attention to what Prima said, it was just an elder telling the junior, so he didn't have any doubts, and continued to take her hand and walk in the direction of the tribe.
"Patriarch. ”
As soon as they entered the tribe, they saw the patriarch standing at the gate
In the distance, they greeted the tribal chief.
"Dorne, do you resent me for driving that Mo Yu away?" The tribal patriarch looked at Dorne and his wife, with a look of guilt in his eyes, of course he hoped that Mo Yu could kill the giant beast, but the lives of four or five hundred people in the tribe were in his hands, and he couldn't and didn't dare to take this risk.
"Patriarch, we don't blame anyone, after all, our lives were also sacrificed by other clansmen to grow up, which can only be blamed on Prima's bad luck. ”
Dorne shook his head, a bitter look on his face, knowing that the patriarch was doing it entirely for the sake of the tribe, and that he would do the same.
"Dorne, spend the rest of your time with Prima, and leave the rest of the tribe to handle the work at hand. The patriarch sighed, his eyelids drooping, and his face was full of self-blame and guilt.
"Thank you, Patriarch, if nothing else, then we'll go back. Dorne nodded, clasping his wife and daughter's palms.
"Let's go back. The patriarch said.
When Dorn heard this, he took his wife and daughter and walked in the direction of their tent, with a strong sense of loneliness in his back.
"Alas!"
The patriarch could only sigh helplessly when he looked at this scene, and their tribe could only silently endure the repetition of this incident.
......
On the horse, the breeze blew by, and Mo Yu rode his horse and galloped on this grassland, but Mo Yu did not really plan to leave, but came to a small hill more than ten kilometers away from the tribe, where there is a cave to hide, and ordinary herdsmen will not leave the tribe so far, so he is not worried about being discovered.
Mo Yu parked the horse and entered the cave, and a cold and damp feeling came to his face, as well as a unique earthy smell.
This cave was discovered by Mo Yu by accident, its interior is not big, it is only about ten meters deep, when Mo Yu walked to the deepest part of this cave with the help of firelight, a small black shadow hiding in the corner suddenly shot towards Mo Yu.
This small black shadow hidden in the shadows ejected extremely fast, and with the help of the faint firelight, two fangs that flashed green light could be faintly seen, biting towards Mo Yu's arm.
In such a dim environment, coupled with the fact that the small black shadow sneak attack was quite sudden, if the ordinary herdsmen encountered this situation, they would definitely be successfully attacked by the small black shadow, but Mo Yu did not panic at all, and his right hand probed into the small black shadow, and caught the small black shadow in his hand.
With the help of the flames, Mo Yu saw the small black shadow in his hand clearly, it turned out to be a small black and white snake, and his hand was pinching the position near the snake's head, causing the little snake to twist its body continuously, as if it wanted to break free from Mo Yu.
He looked at the little snake's slightly glowing green fangs, it was obvious that this snake was highly venomous, and it would not be a joke to let this snake bite it.
After Mo Yu cleaned up the little snake and confirmed that the cave was completely safe, he went out to collect some dry branches, and built a bonfire near the exit of the cave to drive away the air in the cave
Cold and damp.
After Mo Yu took care of everything, he leaned on the side of the cave, recalling the picture of living in the tribe, his hands gradually clenched, Dorne's family not only saved his life, but also took him in family life, took care of his daily life, and never asked for anything in return, such a kind herdsman family should not suffer such misfortune, he wanted to change all this, even if it was at the cost of his life.
In the remaining few days, Mo Yu did not wait aimlessly, but tried to re-cultivate the Star Sutra in the cave.
"Damn, what the hell is going on?"
Mo Yu opened his eyes and cursed, his heart seemed a little upset, but no matter how hard he tried, this body couldn't sense each other with the aura of this world, and he couldn't cultivate at all.
In fact, when he was in the wasteland, Mo Yu tried to re-cultivate the power in his body, but the situation was so ordinary, there was no effect.
Although Mo Yu's ** is several times stronger than ordinary people, and he can even kill those wasteland beasts easily, but even so, he has no chance of winning at all against the giant beast that the tribal patriarch said.
He hadn't seen that giant beast, but he knew from the tribal patriarch that the power of this giant beast was definitely not comparable to those fierce beasts, and he needed more powerful strength now, but he couldn't improve his strength by all means.
In fact, until now, Mo Yu still can't figure out whether this world is illusory or real, but whether this world is real or false, he will not let go of the affairs of the Dorne family.
Although Mo Yu's cultivation failed, he didn't give up, his eyes closed slightly, and he continued to try to cultivate.
......
Three days have passed, and at the junction of the wasteland and the grassland, a five- or six-meter-high altar has been erected here.
The nomadic tribe ritual was also held today, although after Mo Yu left, the tribe was not attacked by the beast again, but the patriarch of the tribe knew very well that the previous attack of the beast was the dismount sent by the giant beast, implying that they handed over the sacrifice as scheduled.
"Brother Togo, it's not too early, the patriarch asked me to inform you that you are ready to go to the altar. A young herder came to Dorne's tent and didn't go inside, just shouted outside.
"Got it, tell the patriarch we'll be right here. Half a moment later, Dorn's voice echoed the herdsman from inside the tent.
"Then Brother Dorne, you're hurrying up. When the herdsman heard this, he glanced at the tent and turned away.
"Dorne, are we really going to send Prima over?" Vera crouched down and gently stroked her daughter's face, tears streaming down her face, her eyes full of guilt.
Dorn didn't speak, just nodded with great difficulty, it was time for everything to be decided.
"Mom, don't cry, you'll be more obedient. ”
Prima wiped her mother's tears with her little hands, in fact, she felt very happy in the past few days, her parents did not have to work, they were all playing with her.
“
Mom doesn't cry, Prima is a good child. ”
Vera held back her tears, touched her daughter's head, and struggled to show a smile, she didn't think about the last moment,
"Let's go. Dorn gritted his teeth and uttered two words with difficulty.
When Vera heard this, she also nodded with difficulty, stood up and took her daughter and her husband's hands, and left the tent together.
"Patriarch, here we are. With great grief, Dorne and Vera came to the front of the tribe.
"Well, let's go. ”
The tribal patriarch nodded, and without saying much, everyone got into the carriage and drove towards the altar of the tower with an extremely heavy heart.
Along the way, everyone was speechless, and they all knew that no words could ease the grief of the two families who were about to lose their children, and after about ten minutes, the people of the tribe came to the front of the altar.
