When Peniel saw that my brow was deep, she said to me:

"Senior Brother Chen, don't worry too much, even if there are still people who know how to refine this ancient Gu technique, I believe that it will never be too much in terms of quantity! Moreover, the other party will definitely use it in key places!"

This reminds me.

That's right, Wu Gu Zhenjun kept saying that he wanted to compete with me, and if he lost, let him leave behind what kind of body possessed by a big demon!

Then his thoughts are self-evident: open the pitch-black giant gate to lure out the powerful demon, use my more perverted strong body to possess it, and then use the Heart Devouring Gu to completely control "me", so that his "Three Miao Revival" plan will be smooth sailing!

I nodded secretly, although I still had some scruples about the "Heart Devouring Gu" in Peniel's mouth, but my evil spirit was not vegetarian, so it was a big deal to hide in a "turtle shell".

After eating the dry food in hand, everyone gathered around me again and asked about the next step.

I saw that the old lord was depressed and depressed, so I asked everyone to talk first, walked over to the old lord, and handed him a cigarette.

The old lord was about the same age as Grandpa Pan, and his face was also furrowed and his eyebrows were not spread.

I lit a fire on him and asked tentatively:

"I'm the same generation as Paniel Pan Mazi, and I also call you grandpa, right?"

The old lord took a puff on his cigarette, looked at me with cloudy eyes, and nodded.

Let me start by asking a question:

"You and Grandpa Pan should still have a big brother, right? Otherwise, why did you just say that 'the eldest brother and the second brother were killed by the three heavenly thunders'? But Grandpa Pan is not dead, what is going on?"

The old lord shook the ashes of his cigarette and looked at me before saying:

At that time, the second ...... The second brother is indeed not dead! It's just because of ...... Because I didn't agree with some of his practices, I broke off relations with him, and said to people outside Bainiao Village that my eldest brother and second brother were both killed by Shangsandao!"

This point is related to what Pennier said, but using this method to arouse the hatred of the clansmen towards Shangsandao is inevitably a little ruthless!

I sighed before I persuaded:

"Grandpa...... Although I worship Elder Shi as my teacher and am a member of the Shangsandao Dingmen, I am also very sympathetic to the suffering of the Miaojiang Wumen! I don't want to dispel the idea of revenge on the Shangsandao with just a few words, and I don't want to say anything polite and polite, just talk about the matter, if I don't say it correctly, you can refute me!"

The old lord just bowed his head when he heard this, and he didn't have any expression.

I looked at the black in the distance and continued:

"You have also seen what the Witch Gu Zhenjun has done, whether he is a member of the Wumen Sect or a member of the Black Sect or the Jiuli Clan, he encourages you to sacrifice with a living person - for this alone, he has violated countless human laws and regulations!"

The old lord was startled, he glanced at me quickly, then lowered his head, and asked softly:

"You...... How do you know that he picked it up?"

I smiled and replied:

"It's not hard to guess: you said not long ago that Miaojiang Wumen has grievances with Shangsandao, and this is not caused by a certain thing or a certain person, and decades of grievances are hard to return......

"Although the upper three realms are in decline now, they are still the leaders of the Daomen, whether it is the number of disciples or the strength realm, I believe that they are still more than the Wumen in a corner...... It's a lot stronger!"

At this point, the old lord nodded approvingly.

I saw and pointed to the huge gate in the distance, and continued:

"Since your Wumen doesn't have the strength to retaliate against the three realms, and you can't bear this breath, there is only one way, and that is to find something that can enhance your strength, such as the giant gate over there!"

The old lord also looked far away as I pointed, with helplessness written on his face.

"I don't know what's behind this door, but judging from the demon corpse, the mandrill, and the huge fox just now, there must be some ulterior secret in it!"

"Don't look at me like this, I don't want to find out the secret of your Miao Jiang!"

Seeing the vigilance in the old lord's eyes, I hurriedly said again.

"Peniel told me that you Miao people have an ancient custom of 'vertebral cow sacrifice'. She also said that Grandpa Pan would rather sacrifice the tuition and living expenses of his grandchildren and grandchildren, and also use his own cattle and sheep to participate in the 'Shige Niu Festival', which can be imagined how important this ceremony is! But the next day, she found that the ox used in the 'Shibi Niu Festival' was not her family's ......."

The old lord remained silent.

“...... So I wondered, wondering if there was another ritual in secret! I didn't figure it out until today when you came here with your people and these girls. ”

"Don't worry, let me guess!"

I saw that when the old lord heard this, his face was different, so he said quickly.

"I believe that at the beginning, you and the high-ranking members of the Wumen Sect may have sacrificed with live cows, after all, the standard of living has improved now, and you can't afford to go to great lengths for the curse of your illusory ancestors!

The old lord may have heard my words, and the appearance of being in a hurry to explain instantly withered.

"Wu Gu Zhenjun said something just now, he said, 'There's no time'......! From what he said, I know that the forbidden land in your mouth is in trouble, and it is a big trouble! It is so big that it is impossible to deal with the 'live cow sacrifice' with livestock, and it is so big that it is necessary to use live people to sacrifice in order to exchange for the stability of the Sanmiao clan!"

I said firmly, not hiding the information revealed by the Witch Gu True Monarch.

Obviously, the old lord was so startled by my words that he forgot to smoke his cigarette and just looked at me blankly.

I went on to say:

"I don't know if you've objected to this 'human sacrifice', but judging by your actions tonight, you finally relented, otherwise you wouldn't have brought these people here. ”

"But you are not determined, and you are wavering in your practice of sacrificing the lives of outsiders in exchange for the survival of the Miao people. That's why Wu Gu Zhenjun will take advantage of your unpreparedness to snatch the 'Chiyou Horn', and then order someone to kidnap and threaten you and Grandpa Pan, and forcibly force you to complete the sacrifice until I appear!"

The old lord's hand shook, and the cigarette fell to the ground.

"As for whether the Witch Gu True Monarch has plucked you, it's easier to guess! Since he is known as the 'No. 1 Master of Miao Jiang' and the elder of the Jiuli clan, then the high-level of the Wumen will have a place for him, right? And it is very likely that he is the deputy sect master, or the sect master!"

I stared at the old lord's face and said slowly, especially the last sentence, which was almost in a questioning tone.

After hearing this, the old lord only had a wry smile and helplessness on his face, and it seemed that I had guessed eight or nine.

"The matter is clear here: I don't know why, you or Grandpa Pan found that there was a problem with the forbidden land, and it was a big problem, which was enough to affect the survival of the Sanmiao clan. So you and Grandpa Pan quietly planned the sacrificial ceremony, intending to solve it secretly so as not to cause panic among the clansmen!"

"But later you found out that the sacrifice of livestock can no longer satisfy the demons in the forbidden land, oh is the forbidden demon in your mouth! And because you and Grandpa Pan disagreed, so you told Grandpa Pan that the clan was going to use the 'living sacrifice'!"

"Grandpa Pan didn't know about it until my friend was inadvertently arrested by you in order to avenge his family, and my master happened to know Grandpa Pan. As soon as he found Grandpa Pan and said, Grandpa Pan may be suspicious of you, so he brought my master here!"

"In order to successfully complete the sacrifice and save the clansmen, you did not hesitate to bear the infamy of killing innocents, and you are ready to use these girls to sacrifice the monsters of the forbidden land. But at this time, you suddenly found out that I killed a lot of monsters that escaped from the stolen out, maybe you were lucky, and thought to yourself if you cooperated with me, wouldn't you have to use 'human sacrifice'?"

"So, after discovering the Yin soldiers, you ordered your clansmen to block them, instead of starting the sacrificial ritual in the first place!"

"Finally, when the giant rabbit monster came out, you realized that it was too late to stop the monster from being born, and I fell into the illusion of the nine-tailed demon...... Later, Grandpa Pan came to save you, and wanted to persuade you to turn back, but who knew that he was stabbed by the Witch Gu Zhenjun again, and not only lost the horn magic weapon but also fell into the Gu ...... Hey, no matter what you do, you still made a wedding dress for someone else......"

I chattered on and on in one breath, and finally ended with emotion, until I heard the old lord sigh incessantly, and his face was full of remorse.

There is nothing wrong with wanting to save your people on your own.

The old lord's fault lies in vain trying to sacrifice living people, in disregard for human life!

......

After a long time, the old lord came to his senses, and he said dejectedly:

"Since...... Now that you've guessed it, I don't want to hide it anymore......! It's just that for the sake of the second brother's friendship with your master...... Please save the people here. They...... They don't know anything, they just do what I tell me to do, they don't know that I will use ...... Sacrifice ...... with living people"

I didn't answer him directly, but asked again:

"I still have a few questions that I don't understand. First, after the Witch Gu True Monarch snatched your horn magic weapon, he was able to command these monsters to attack me, so why can't you use this magic weapon to solve the problem of the forbidden land?"

The old lord smiled miserably, and then said helplessly:

"Use, how can I use it? I can't use it!" 'Chiyou Horn' is the most important treasure of my Miao Territory, and it is also the ancestral artifact of the Jiuli clan! Only the Jiuli bloodline can ...... Blow it!"

I was stunned for a while, how did I do it, why did these ancient artifacts and what kind of magic treasures they have, and they all engaged in the set of designated heirs!

The old lord said again:

"I have nothing to hide from this matter, once he completely opens the door of the forbidden land, I ...... My Sanmiao clan will also be destroyed!"

"You're roughly right, he is indeed the master of the Wumen Sect! And I, like Chen Fenglan, am just an elder!"

"Wumen and Jiuli clan, as well as the Heiwu Sect, although we all live in the Miao region, from the root point of view, the Jiuli clan is the real descendant of the ancient three Miao......

The old lord said that after the ancient soldier master, Chiyou, was dismembered, the ancient three Miao tribes and the Jiuli clan broke apart and came out.

When he arrived in Dayu, Sanmiao and the rulers of the big tribe at that time had contradictions and caused a great war, and after the war, the vitality of the Sanmiao people was greatly damaged, so the people of the tribe were hidden, and no one knew where they went.

It was not until the Eastern Han Dynasty that a scholar found traces of the activities of the Sanmiao people in Jiangxi, south of the Yangtze River: Wei, after the Sanmiao.

Later, in order to avoid trouble, the three Miao tribes were divided into several directions from Jiangxi - the Ju tribe migrated, and one of them came to the current Miao Jiang.

The Jiuli clan also migrated many times after the defeat of the soldiers, and a small part of them also went south to the vicinity of Miaojiang.

Although these two nations belonged to the same tribe in ancient times, after losing the leadership and command of the military master, the two did not interact with each other and became strangers.

But after living together for a long time, the two clans, which are inextricably linked, overlapped again, and the witch gate was established at this time.

The old lord told me that the Miaojiang Wumen is just a general term, and there is no strict sect structure like Shangsandao, except for the door master must be served by the elders of the Jiuli clan, other people such as the elder sect can be served by the lords or clan masters of each village!

And this peculiar regulation originates from the iron law of the Jiuli clan:

The only one who respects the main soldier is Jiuli, who can hold the pot to devour the sky and the drum horn to order the demon.

As long as it is the descendants of the ancestors, only the descendants of the Jiuli clan can take the demon refining pot to devour the heaven and earth, and blow the drum horn to make the demon in the pot!

And the old lord himself is not in the same vein as Jiuli......
