Chapter XVIII Notes

Tall branches enclosed the clearing, surrounded by wormwood and unknown grasses, and a thick mixture of smoke and aroma enveloped the area.

Xie Rouhui took the arms of the two attendants and stepped up the rock, looking through the thick smoke to look inside.

There are seventeen or eighteen people sitting or lying inside, men, women and children, some of them vomit and cough, it is already a mess, if it is not covered by the strong aroma of smoke grass, I am afraid that the smell has been tangy.

"Lord Dan, come down quickly."

The elders of the Xie family couldn't hide their worried urging.

Xie Rouhui turned her head, and not far in front of her was where Huaiqingtai was.

"Everyone is here to seek the protection of Wu Qing Niangniang." Xie Rouqing said, "So I put them here." ”

Xie Rouhui glanced at her.

"It's just a pity that this miasma is bred in the place where Wu Qing Niangniang is." "It's sad," she said. ”

Xie Rouqing also looked at her.

"yes, it's sad." She said.

Xie Rouhui ignored her and looked at everyone.

"Miasma poisons people." She said.

Although the people around couldn't see the appearance of the people who were poisoned after isolation, they could also hear the painful **, and their expressions were even more frightened.

"Lord Dan, save me!"

"The Great Dan Lord drives away miasma!"

The crowd fell to their knees and shouted.

"This miasma comes out of the deep forests of Yushan, so it can be seen that there must be a vicious breeding in the mountains." Xie Rouhui said, "Wu Qing Niangniang has also been bound. ”

Wu Qing Niangniang was also bound?

The people were shocked, but they could imagine it. Otherwise, how could there be miasma breeding in the mountains.

"If you want to drive away the miasma, you must first get rid of the malice." Xie Rouhui said loudly.

"Eliminate malice! Remove the vicious! ”

"Lord Dan, where is the malice?"

A cry of response and inquiry, the kneeling people also stood up and looked excited, fear has condensed into crazy power, just waiting for Xie Rouhui to give an order, to tear the viciousness apart and clear it.

This hustle and bustle made the county magistrate standing on the side pale.

"If you gather a crowd to kill people, you can't stop it." He muttered.

He looked back and saw that the king of Dongping County behind him still had a solemn expression, and he didn't seem to be disturbed by the noise on this side.

His bodyguards were scattered behind him.

The county order quietly moved to the side of the king of Dongping.

"Elevate the platform!"

On the rocks. Xie Rouhui raised her hand and shouted.

At her command. The Xie family, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately arranged it with the crowd and set up a high platform under the Huaiqing platform.

Xie Rouhui walked over step by step, and the people hurriedly followed, lest they be attacked by the miasma that was becoming more and more condensed and expanding overhead.

Xie Rouhui stood under the high platform.

"Set up a fire stand." She said again.

Fire Stand!

In other words, it will be a sacrifice that must be made.

If the viciousness is not removed. The miasma does not dissipate. Then the witch who performed the ritual will be burned to death. To apologize to the gods.

Seeing the firewood piled up around the high platform, the elders of the Xie family also looked shocked.

"Not really."

"That's not going to work."

"She hasn't given birth to a daughter yet, how can she die."

They exchanged heads. I couldn't help but step forward together.

"Lord Dan, please find out the viciousness first." They said.

Xie Rouhui looked around.

"Vicious, Yushan has always been clear, the family is dedicated to worship, and the mountains and forests are conscientious, so what is wrong with the viciousness?" She said, "What is so different about Yushan as before? ”

Where is Woosan different from before?

"The Lord of the Xie Family Dan is a witch, the bloodline is inherited, and the Mandate of Heaven is divinely granted, so it should not be confused." She continued, "Yushan is the seat of Wu Qing Niangniang, and it is not allowed to be infected by witches, do you know this rule?" ”

Know, this is known to everyone in Pengshui.

The shouts rang out in unison.

The expressions of the elders of the Xie family changed, and sure enough, they saw Xie Rouhui's gaze fall on Xie Rouqing.

Xie Rouhui didn't speak, just looked at Xie Rouqing.

The noise gradually stopped, and everyone's eyes fell on Xie Rouqing with Xie Rouhui.

The scene fell silent, and the silence was hair-wrenching.

Shui Ying couldn't help but step forward to block Xie Rouqing.

"What do you want to do?" She shouted at Xie Rouhui.

"What do I want to do? I just want to ask her what she did in Yushan! Xie Rouhui said, walking towards Xie Rouqing, "You are in Yushan to point sand, you are sacrificing as a witch in Yushan, and your father snatched Yushan and gave it to you, can you do this?" ”

When these words came out, there was an uproar.

Xie Rouqing's people are no strangers, and they also know that she can serve the Dannu to play drums and sacrifices, but it is just a waiter, and she is the attendant of the Dannu.

She lit the sand herself for sacrifice? How can that be?

"That's true." Xie Rouqing said.

Xie Rouhui stood in front of her.

"So you messed up the rules of the mountain god, since you did this, Yushan collapsed, the earth moved, and now miasma breeds." She said, "So you're the viciousness of Yushan." ”

"Am I vicious?" Xie Rouqing said, "Why do you say that I am? ”

"Because you are not a Dannu, but you are doing what only Dannu can do in Yushan, this is blasphemy against the mountain gods, disrespect to the ancestors, breaking the rules of the mountain gods, and causing chaos." Xie Rouhui said, "Xie Rouqing, you're not, who are?" ”

There was a commotion among the people around, and they looked at Xie Rouqing with an unkind expression.

"Burn her!"

I don't know which one took the lead and shouted.

"Burn her!"

"Burn her!"

The shouts swept like a raging wind.

Xie Rouhui looked at Xie Rouqing and smiled slightly.

"I said you are, you are, you are not, you didn't do these things, could it be that the princess of the county who is no longer the daughter of the Xie family did it?" With the hustle and bustle around her, she said.

Xie Rouqing looked at her with a blank expression and did not speak.

Xie Rouhui smiled again when she saw her, and stepped back with her feet raised.

"Come ......"

Without waiting for her to shout out the sentence, Xie Rou took the first step clearly. Walking on crutches to the high platform where the firewood was piled up.

As she walked, the crowd was noisy again.

"Burn her! Burn her! Countless voices shouted.

Xie Rouqing walked onto the high platform, looked around the crowd, and she stretched out her hand to say something below.

Because of the noise, they could not be heard, but soon they saw a little girl calling two miners, and the two old miners walked to the stage together with a big drum.

Drum?

What is she going to do?

The noise gradually dissipated.

"Xie Rouhui is right, I have done a lot of things in Yushan, I have lit sand, opened mines, and carried out sacrifices." Xie Rouqing said. "If it's because of that. The wrath of the mountain god breeds miasma, so let me drive away the miasma, and if the mountain god does not cause my deeds to be vicious, then the miasma will disperse. If the miasma does not dissipate. I would like to be burned to death on a high platform. ”

As soon as her words fell, the people sat down on their knees. The drum was pounded.

The sound of the drums startled everyone, but before they could come to their senses, the drums reverberated through the valley one after another.

"Lord Great Dan. What a hell of herβ€”" an elder whispered.

Xie Rouhui smiled.

"Let's let it, why don't you let it, let the people see it clearly, and let her die convincingly." She said.

"But if it can really be dispelled...", the other elder couldn't help but whisper.

Xie Rouhui interrupted him and laughed.

"Da Da has never been a matter of one person." "Especially what a lame man can do if he can only sit." ”

Speaking of this, look at the crowd.

The people turned their heads to each other, pointing at Xie Rouqing on the stage, and the humming almost overshadowed the drums, making the scene a little noisy and chaotic, without the solemn atmosphere that a big man should have.

Dada, what you want is to gather the fear and anger of the people and work together to fight against the doom.

With a single drum, it's simply not possible.

"Of course, like last time, someone came out to help." Xie Rouhui said, "It also allows the people to see clearly who is doing evil in Yushan." ”

Although Xie Roujia has not been seen at present, since the king of Dongping County is here, she must be here.

Such a benevolent and kind-hearted princess should not be able to bear to watch her good sister being burned alive.

Xie Rouhui turned around and sat on the rock.

The sound of drums came from far and near.

"Here we go."

Xie Roujia said, looking up into the distance, letting go of his hand and jumping down from the tree.

"Quick, let's go."

She landed steadily on the ground, and jumped on a rock.

Brother An followed closely, and the two of them galloped through the mountains and forests.

"Brother An, jump." Xie Roujia shouted.

As soon as the words fell, Brother An had already jumped up, grabbed a branch, and swung forward.

This time, Xie Roujia was in the back.

"Brother An, dancing is like this, just like you usually run in the mountains and forests." She shouted, "You can do whatever you want, as long as you use your hands and feet, there are no routines, no patterns, no dance steps, you can do whatever you want." ”

Brother An jumped down the rocks, clenching his teeth tightly.

"Brother An, think about how happy you are when you run, think about how you were blocked in the middle of running, and think about how painful you were when you fell and rolled on the ground."

"Brother An, think about how much you like this mountain forest, think about how gorgeous but terrifying the miasma you have just looked, think about how it will swallow the entire mountain forest, and no one can get close to it from now on."

"Brother An, think about what it's like to lose everything."

Lose everything.

Brother An stopped and turned to look at the girl behind her.

"Brother An! Come on! ”

Losing everything is the last cry of my father in my ears, the hand that is exposed under the rocks.

Losing everything was to be hit by the girl and watch her disappear into the rocks.

"Brother An." Xie Roujia stood and looked at him, "It's not for me, it's not for me not to be burned, it's not for anyone not to be burned to death, but for the sake of this mountain and forest, for the people who have suffered greatly, just to drive away misfortune, to have a good life." ”

Brother An looked at her and nodded heavily.

"Go ahead." Xie Roujia said, looking at the high platform that could already be seen in front of him, "Don't worry, I will watch and guard this miasma here, and I won't let it spread again, and I won't let it hurt the people over there, as for dispersing it, I'll leave it to you." ”

Ange turned around and strode wildly.

…………………………………………………….

The drums are actually very monotonous, and they can be uplifting at first, but after listening to them for a long time, they are actually very boring.

Xie Rouhui raised her hand to cover her mouth and yawned.

Looking at the people around them, they were also anxious.

"It's not gone yet."

"It seems to be getting bigger."

They looked up at the miasma over the mountains and forests.

I've been here for too long, the miasma is formless and tasteless, and who knows if it will be infected.

"Burn her!"

"Burn her! Let the Great Dan Lord drive away misfortune! ”

Someone finally couldn't help but shout.

The shouts of burning her were raised again.

Xie Rouhui looked at the high platform and looked around.

Did you really not show up this time? Scared? Can't bear to settle down and settle for the position of the rich princess?

What sisterhood is deep, it has long been said that it is a lie.

Xie Rouhui sneered and raised her hand.

"Ignition." She said.

"Ignition!"

The loud command was immediately heard, and the people around the high platform immediately lit torches and walked towards the pyre.

Shui Ying snapped the nail of her last finger off.

Burning evil spirits in public is as nervous and exciting as watching beheadings, and the people around can't help but surge.

Just then, a shout was heard, and while everyone was still looking for the source of the sound, someone rushed in.

He seemed to be trying to stand firm, but he didn't know whether he was running too hard or panicking, and he stumbled and fell to the ground.

This made everyone around stunned.

The man lying on the ground quickly jumped up again, this time standing firmly, but in a somewhat strange position.

He seemed to want to cross his waist and raise his hands, so that in the end he couldn't lift it, and put on a stiff and strange posture.

"Brother An?" Xie Rouhui looked at him and said.

Brother An didn't speak, his chest rose and fell violently, and his eyes widened.

"Brother An's going to dance! Brother An's going to dance a big bang! Shui Ying bit her finger and shouted loudly.

Dance?

He?

Big Da?

Xie Rouhui looked at Brother An in amazement.

Brother An stretched out his hand sharply and raised his foot.

This is the commonly used starting point of witch dance, and Xie Rouhui and Xie Roujia have used it, but now that An Geyu has taken this step, he himself has noticed it, and he is panicked and wants to take it back, and it seems to simply take another step forward, but as a result, this chaotic person with fallen feet fell to the ground again.

Xie Rouhui laughed.

The surrounding people also burst into laughter, and even the Xie family's entourage who was holding torches to light the pyre forgot to light the fire.

Is it funny?

He dances?
