Chapter 31: The Sacrifice

Song Xuran was kidnapped before, and he was asleep for nearly twenty-four hours, and it is difficult to say whether those people let him take nutritious food, and nearly a day has passed since the two of them entered here, and Lao Song has been following without saying a word, but his body will definitely not be able to stand it like this.

Song Xuran can endure it, Ye Ze has long known this. No matter how hard and tired he is, he won't say it, he will only carry it himself, and he can stick to it for several years if others think it's hard and troublesome.

When he was a child, Song Xuran practiced calligraphy and wrote for at least half an hour every day. At that time, there were still very few people who installed air conditioning at home, relying on an electric fan in summer, the home was the same as a steamer, and during the day, parents went out to work, Ye Ze couldn't stand it and ran out to find a cool place to play with other children, Song Xuran was stunned to complete the day's task before coming out.

In the high school textbook, Su Shi said that "those who set up great things in ancient times not only have supernatural talents, but also have perseverance and perseverance", Ye Ze has always felt that it is Song Xuran. But this kind of person is not good, you can find him when you are thirsty, hungry or sleepy, but he will not tell you if he is thirsty, hungry or sleepy, and even be able to tell if Song Xuran is really angry or unhappy Ye Ze took five or six years to barely grasp it accurately - of course, it is also possible that Song Shen finally regarded him as his own person and was not too dignified in front of him.

Ye Ze thought about it, stretched out his hand to summon the arrow of light and held it in his right hand, and slashed his backhand on his left wrist shallowly - his physique is now much stronger than ordinary people, and the healing speed has also become faster, for example, the knife that was cut in the palm of his left hand has long since left only a shallow flesh pink, even if it is injured on the wrist, this kind of Cheng DΓΉ's injury will be healed soon, and it will not have any effect.

He walked to Song Xuran in two steps and sat down beside him, not knowing how to tell him, so he silently handed over his wrist: "You...... I don't know how long I'm going to be here. I'm much healthier than the average person now, and I'm fine. ”

Bright red blood spilled from his wrist, and Song Xuran stared at it, a little stunned.

Ye Ze pushed him: "You drink a little, or I will be stabbed for nothing." When you eat hot pot, don't you also eat pig blood and duck blood, I think my blood can also be full, and by the way, I quench my thirst, and the water here may not be drinkable. ”

Song Xuran glanced at him, as if he was surprised that he could come up with such an idea so logically and consistently, and opened his mouth to say: "You ......" The latter words did not continue, but directly lowered his head neatly, licked and sucked at Ye Ze's wound.

Ye Ze raised his wrist and let him drink, at first Song Xuran's movements were still slight and restrained, and soon he became unrestrained, as if he was overwhelmed by extreme temptation, like an addict who saw a drug/product, and swallowed it in a big gulp.

The blood was not even flowing as fast as he could swallow it.

Song Xuran leaned forward, changed to kneel on the ground, held Ye Ze's wrist, and even stretched out his tongue without wasting anything to lick the blood that had flowed out before and stained other parts of his arm.

Song Xuran has always been a person with strong self-control and moderation, and this is the first time Ye Ze has seen him look almost out of control.

The tongue cut through the wound, some painful, some numb.

Halfway through the shouting, Song Xuran raised his head and looked at Ye Ze, as if to confirm this person's existence, his expression was a little different from usual, but how it was different, Ye Ze couldn't say it for a while.

The light in this place was dim, an oppressive and dull orange-red, and Ye could not find out where the light source was. Under the reflection of this strange light, Song Xuran's eyes were glowing with a shallow pale golden brilliance.

There were blood stains on the corners of his mouth, an unnatural flush appeared on his face, his eyes were blurry, and there were indescribable hooks and penetrations. Song Xuran licked the blood on Ye Ze's hands, and went further to him.

Ye felt that Song Xuran was abnormal. Xindao seems to have heard of deer blood and tiger blood before, human beings belong to high-level animals, and they are meat lovers, could it be that their own blood is also a great tonic, and the old Song was excited when he drank it?

Song Xuran closed his eyes and stretched out his tongue to lick the blood around his lips, and said softly: "It's so delicious......"

Ye Ze curiously raised his wrist and licked the blood himself, secretly saying Where is this delicious, Lao Song, he is really hungry, he is extremely hungry, and he feels that anything that can be eaten is delicious in the world.

He reached out and pushed Song Xuran away slightly, and tore off the sleeve of Song Xuran's shirt to use it to bandage his wounds.

After moving away from Ye Ze a little later, Song Xuran also came to his senses and regained his senses. He closed his eyes, silently leaned over and reached out to throw away the strip of cloth on Ye Ze's hand, and tore a cleaner piece from his shirt for Ye Ze to wrap the wound, and a trace of confusion appeared on his face.

Ye Ze comforted him: "It's okay, I donated blood and took away more than you drank at one time." ”

――――――――

Song Xuran was driven to sleep by Ye Ze, and after a while, Gu Mingfeng also woke up, but it was still difficult to move. But his physical foundation is better than that of ordinary people, and he uses a panacea to treat it, so he can barely walk after a short time of recuperation.

Gu Mingfeng listened to what Ye Ze said about what happened in Xikai Province, and handed Gu Mingfeng the things that the big turtle had entrusted to him.

It was a small, brown wooden box, and the leaves had never been opened. At this time, Gu Mingfeng directly opened the box and found that it contained a delicate wooden boat of the same color. The boat is only the size of a palm, but the carving is fine, there are three layers up and down, the carved beams and paintings are richly decorated, but the bow is a * shape, and the turtle itself is somewhat similar.

Gu Mingfeng put the boat away, and told Ye Ze that he had also received the news that this living force was coming to this place to find the "key" to awaken the God of Calamity. This group of people was eager to recruit troops and expand their strength, so Gu Mingfeng let his relatively low-key characters mix in to act as spies. After getting the news, Gu Mingfeng was afraid that they would succeed, so he brought three trustworthy and capable members to take the opportunity to quietly follow in after the other party's vanguard. However, trespassing in the land of gods and demons, mortals always have to pay some price, the dead and wounded of the vanguard of that group of people, as well as the injuries of being trapped somewhere and unable to get out, became scattered, Gu Mingfeng and the four of them also encountered an ancient demon beast attack, only Gu Mingfeng was lucky enough to meet Ye Ze to survive, and the others probably became the sacrifices of this sleeping god of calamity.

"Speaking of sacrifices," Gu Mingfeng was still in good spirits at this time, and after introducing the situation, he simply chatted with Ye Ze, "According to the documents left by my family, there is a certain basis for those statements that sacrificed to the gods in ancient times to pray for protection and avoid disasters. You see that these gods and demons are very powerful, they seem to be omnipotent and powerful, and these mortals will not hesitate to die in order to wake them up, but in fact, they are really boring to live, according to reliable records, gods and demons have no sense of taste, what do you mean when you say that you eat without taste and live? It's better to sleep. I especially understand them. ”

Ye Ze nodded sympathetically.

Gu Mingfeng continued: "The only thing they can taste is the blood of living people, and some literature speculates that because the blood contains the soul and spiritual power of people, the ancients swore that they always loved bloodletting to show their sincerity. But like people, they are also picky eaters, and it should be that the blood of the sacrifice they like is better for those who are pleasing to the eye, and the blood of those who are not pleasing to the eye will be difficult to drink. That's why there is a saying in the legend that "boys, girls, boys, girls, boys, and girls are deliberately selected to satisfy the gods", and there are myths and stories in China and abroad that the gods are not satisfied with the sacrifices and get angry. Although most of them have been passed down to the present day, these myths still have a certain basis for tracing back to their roots. ”

Ye Ze didn't care much about what the gods liked to eat, and his love of drinking blood and eating people had little to do with him, but he had always cared about the gods and demons that Gu Mingfeng mentioned. Back then, the school library was targeted and attacked by evil spirits for this thing.,It's related to his own surroundings.,He's always been very concerned.。

He then asked: "Brother Gu, you said that there was a god and demon treasure near Yuezhou, and many people beat his idea, but you didn't, and you didn't say the reason when you asked you." Can you sue me now? ”

Gu Mingfeng obviously remembered what happened when he was in a coma, and he had no intention of repaying the debt.

His eyes swept lightly over Ye Ze, grinned, and said simply: "Of course it's because I don't dare." ”
