Three days later, she saw the same moment, she tasted "life is better than death", they still had all their senses removed, their tongues and noses cut off, their ears gouged out, and they gouged out their eyes, she knew that when the sacrifice was over, they would take her life, like pinching an ant to death, and letting her go back today was just a warning to her:

This ancient city did not allow her to think about it more

She began to tell her about the grand scene of the festival, but it was just a little sound for herself at night, and the blood in her ears had not dried, how could she still hear her, helping her to walk in the house, familiarizing herself with the location of various furnishings, and she went to receive the food that was delivered, but she had not eaten it for a long time**

Sometimes at night she would hear still miserable sobs, and she would silently weep, but during the day they pretended nothing had happened, comforting each other to survive

She really didn't know how long they would live

The trees in the mountains were covered with green shoots, the sky was starting to get hot, she smelled the smell of summer, this was a forgotten world, a world that could only wait for death, and she felt a fear that she had never felt before

All they wanted was for her to die quietly

That sacrifice of the gods is a little scary when I think about it now

She had threatened them with a hunger strike, hoping that they, or their king, would come and see her for the sake of the sacrifice, so that at least she could prove it to herself, but unfortunately she passed out in the hut and no one cared about her

I don't know how long it took, she felt a warm current slowly enter her throat, instinctively swallowed a few mouthfuls, her consciousness began to recover slowly, and when she heard a noisy voice, she found her strength, opened her eyes, and saw a bunch of pink skirts and pink faces, all of which were beautiful and beautiful, and she tried to find the figure of their king, but unfortunately in her eyes, in addition to pink or pink, it turned out that they were here to dress the maid and then take it to the sacrificial ceremony

The day of the sacrifice finally came, but it was still long gone, and her heart was empty, and she only remembered that the last few days were still just by her side, and there was not a drop of water and food, and they did not get along for long, but they protected each other when they were most vulnerable, and touched each other

They freshened and changed her clothes, put on a satin white skirt, and the skirt mopped the floor, although there was no decoration, but it was also elegant and eye-catching, and painted her lips a little red, according to their words, her lips were bloodless, afraid of redeeming the gods, if it was considered that she was sending a dead man to sacrifice to the heavens, afraid of retribution, she sneered in her heart, I am afraid that this retribution will come anyway

Then two stout master of ceremonies took her arms from side to side, not so much to help her walk, but to fear her escape, she felt that she had not eaten in months, a mortal, how could she have the strength to escape, she only wanted to see their king, he was her only hope, what else could she hold on to besides betting on his heart?

She didn't want to die like that

It turned out that the sacrifice of this god was held in an ancient arena, the square was very wide, the center was a high altar, surrounded by hundreds of steps of stairs, the platform was already full of all kinds of people, beasts and demons, the front of the platform was like a sunshade stand, their king and queen, as well as many princes and nobles, had already sat down to wait for this annual ceremony

Before the appearance, the emcee on her right forcibly stuffed something into her mouth, and said that if she didn't want to enjoy the feeling of fire, she would swallow the pill and walk more comfortably, in fact, she didn't choose the way the woman delivered the medicine, she was specially trained, she had to swallow it if she didn't swallow it, and as soon as she appeared, the whole audience shouted and stood up, they were chasing a certain faith, and this belief was enough to make them crazy

She is not afraid of death, the master has told her the way of life and death since she was a child, and the dreamer is in danger of life and death at all times, if she is too restrained in life and death, she will not only harm herself, but also may harm the innocent dreamer, she has already died in a dream, not here, this sacrifice is not as noble as they imagined

They didn't tie her hands and feet, according to their words, the priests and daughters were voluntary, dedication is an honor, they collected so many women early on, day and night teaching, until the end, everyone was afraid that they were not in a hurry to jump into the fire and die for God, but this Linglan is indeed a special case

Was it worth it to die with such a magnitude, she laughed at herself, but it caused a stir on the viewing platform, she thought that her smile was indeed great for them, and the last smile of her dedication seemed to be less trembling, and her heart was curious to see what they were sacrificing

When she was brought into the center of the square, a hundred-foot-high statue of a god came into view, and the surface of this stone statue was pitted and concave, and it was still slightly blue, standing here, afraid that there would be a thousand years of time, but the outline of the face was still clear

Division...... Master, she was so surprised that she couldn't utter a word

In front of the stone statue of the master stood the small stone statue of Sanzun, all of whom were carved with their heads bowed and worshiped reverently

She wanted to shout to sù that they really didn't have to bother so much, she and the master were also in some situations, he was not the kind of god who was rigid in his moderation, and he didn't need a living person to sacrifice, and of course he wouldn't want it to be her, but she only realized that she couldn't speak at all, and her world suddenly went dark, and she thought of the pill she was forced to swallow

At first, she planned to redress her grievances before she died, shouting a few words to a group of people and demons and beasts with low IQs, but she never expected that they would think of everything for her, and even the forbidden words were prepared for her

The female master of ceremonies who originally helped her stood in line on both sides of the altar, and the four guards surrounded her in the middle, but she didn't have a knife and wanted to pull the female master of ceremonies who fed the medicine, it was impossible to commit suicide, and there was no weapon to borrow, she looked up at the stone statue of the master and sighed: Grandpa Wen, why did you only teach me to change cups, insects, etc., why didn't you think about teaching a stealth technique

Turning into a worm, her brain suddenly lit up, so she recited the mantra, strangely she couldn't use any kind of transformation, and she desperately wondered if it was the medicine again......

As the legendary three chief priests appeared on the altar, the cries of the boiling demons suddenly fell silent, and they were exactly the same as the stone statues standing in front of the master, one of them looked mighty, the other was thin and shriveled, and the eyes were godless, the male priest, and finally the face was bewitching, and the smaller figure was a female priest, and they recited the ancient honorifics to the statue, and the men on both sides of the trees wearing bark and holding tree forks began to rhythmically "bluff", dancing with the incantations of the three chief priests, and tens of thousands of spectators also "wooing" desperately shouting and cheering

The sacrificial dances were one after the other, and the momentum was so great that she suddenly felt extremely aggrieved that the master could understand these so-called honorifics, and she was about to be buried here for their ignorance, and then she felt so desperate that she came to this strange place alone, and finally ended up with no one who could prove her identity

Master, where the hell are you?

Before she died, she had mixed feelings, her tears could not be suppressed, and her voice was dripping, at this time, she should be pitiful, but she could feel the love of the sky

"Girl, don't be afraid, the fire is very strong, all of a sudden, you can't even see the ashes, you see this platform has been burned for thousands of years, there is no black ash, there is no god to take away, there is no pain with God," a guard around her wanted to give a little comfort, and whispered

She replied fiercely in her heart: Then why are you still here?

At the last moment, there was no escape, but the tall priest suddenly shouted: "O god of all respects, please accept our piety, accept this pure body, and keep me safe."

Then a huge fire was lit out of thin air in the center of the altar, and a path was made in front of her, and hundreds of pink dresses lined up on both sides of the road, and more bark costumes appeared around the square, singing and dancing, and at this time all eyes watched her feminine figure and long skirt become the only focus

Her body couldn't help but tremble, it was the fear before she died, she was only seventeen, she was a mortal, and survival was instinct

If there's anything she's reluctant to give

She suddenly looked back at the viewing platform in despair, and their king was sitting so far away that she couldn't even see his face, and could he see her?

The whistling sound became louder and louder, and they seemed to be impatient, and her feet began to run unwillingly, and she ran towards their heavenly fire of her will, and the whole altar boiled rapidly like boiling water, and no one wanted to miss the beautiful moment when the girl in white jumped into the sea of fire......

This seems to be a simple, ancient, and voluntary ritual, and there are so many helplessness in it, Master, if I can still live...... She finally turned her head and looked calmly and distantly at him on the viewing platform...... With all the strength of his life, he shouted:

"I'm not Linglan"

She knew that she could only give out a silent lip shape, but she only begged God to let him look at her, even if it was the last one......

Master, don't blame me

She "snapped" like this, and ripped off her clothes in front of everyone, and her skin was revealed as the skirt slid down

The voice in his ears suddenly fell silent, and immediately boiled even more

Master, I can't just die...... I beg thee, O king on high, to look at me again......

This time, she really cried, giving up her dignity just for that glimmer of hope to live

His feet still involuntarily stepped into the sea of fire, and the scorching flames swallowed up his skin

She thought she was dying and desperate to die...... Had he not seen it, she did not have the so-called Si Nu Tu behind her, and if that rumor was true, if he was one of the four who could see the pattern, she hoped to win his last sympathy

At last there was only the whirring sound of the wind, mixed with some ghost crying wolf howls, close and far......

Burning like this, I am afraid that I can go faster, her consciousness began to fade, and she also lost the pain on her body, and in a daze, she seemed to see the master

"Master...... You're still here......" she muttered to herself, closing her eyes

At the last moment, God saw pity so that she could die peacefully in the crook of Master's arm

And there is nothing left to fear and fear in this world
