Chapter 40: The Shrine Maiden
A few days ago, on the banks of the Jialan River.
Looking at the rolling waves and the thunderous sound of flowing water, the witch queen shouted, and then the surrounding witches lit torches and lit the firewood and grass that were placed in a circle around the witch queen. At the same time, nearly a hundred witches blew the horns in their mouths.
"Woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-"
The witch queen had a copper plate hanging from her waist, a copper bell tied to her hands and feet, a drum in her left hand, a hammer in her right hand, and a dance with words in her mouth.
"Asalynka Luiharβ"
The Witch Queen sings ancient and mysterious shamanic spells to repay her vows to the mountain spirits.
Every time the Tatar people go out on an expedition, they must kill animals and kill people to sacrifice to the mountain spirits, pray that the mountain spirits bless the Tatar army, and whenever they defeat the enemy, the Tatar people kill animals and kill people again to repay their vows to the mountain spirits, thousands of years ago, the language of the Tatar people has changed, but the spell has not changed from word of mouth, but except for the witch, no one can understand the meaning of the spell.
The mantra did not need to be understood by ordinary people, and the people of the Devil were in awe of the strange chant, and sincerely thanked the mountain spirit.
In the distance, Wuhuan Xiao Wang sat on the lathe and watched the sacrifice ceremony of the Yan people with interest, and turned to the people behind him and said, "When are these barbarians going to jump to eat human flesh?" β
"Soon, soon, Xiao Wang." The reply is a military advisor named Wuerkanha, a famous scholar of the Wuhuan Empire, who went to the Central Plains many times to study when he was young, and is very familiar with the Central Plains Holy Han Empire. This person is obsessed with power, and now he is assisting Wu Lijian and wants to become the next Wuhuan Prime Minister.
"After a while, they will divide the sacrifice or dissection, take the heart, liver, intestines, stomach and lungs, and place them in five corners on behalf of the heavens, earth, mountains and rivers, and forests, and then use five horses to strangle the limbs and heads of the sacrifices, and then divide the bodies of the five horses, and this sacrificial ceremony will be over." Urkanha also spoke of the customs of various ethnic groups, and he knew this very well this sage, which had caused trouble to the holy man several times.
Although the population of the Zodiac is small, their influence is quite wide, and any army entering the Black Forest of the Warriors will be defeated, and the ambushes and sneak attacks of the Warriors have made the Holy Han and Beiyi armies miserable.
Wu Lijian looked disgusted, spat at the foam, turned his head and said, "Teacher, these barbarians are too bloody and barbaric, when will they learn the great civilization of our Wuhuan." β
Urkanha smiled: "It is because of their barbarism and backwardness that they are sparsely populated. I have investigated and found that the eight divisions of the Divine Tatar do not exceed 500,000 people at most, and they do not pose a threat to my great cause of Wuhuan hegemony in the world. But these barbarians are very strong, they are all capable of fighting, men and women are soldiers, and they can make up hundreds of thousands of fierce black arrows in a short time, but there are some troubles. β
Wu Lijian said lightly: "Now they are still useful, and when we get the Central Plains, we will recruit the Han people in the Central Plains to fight with them, which is called dog eat dog." β
"When the Han people enter the Black Forest, they will definitely not be able to resist the Tatar people."
"So the more Han people die, the better it is." Wu Libi laughed, "I'm still afraid that the people will kill less, by the way, I have an idea, let the Black Arrows into the Central Plains, let them slaughter the Han people first, arouse the hatred of the Han people, and we will pretend to be the savior to save their women, hahahaha......"
"Then I will wish Xiao Wang to become the Great Khan of the Wuhuan Empire in advance."
"Ulkanha, are you sarcastic about me?"
"I don't dare, but Wuhuan Khan is not you after all."
"Sooner or later, it's mine." Wu Lijian sneered, "My father's empire will be handed over to me sooner or later. β
The sacrificial ceremony of the witch queen soon came to an end, and after a Han captive was dissected and the body of five horses was dissected, the witch queen jumped out of the ring of fire and ordered the witch to scatter the five internal organs into the Jialan River. The shrine maidens had just sprinkled their five internal organs into the river, when suddenly the river swirled, and a fairy-skinned young girl emerged from under the water.
The Witch Queen was taken aback, then knelt on the ground and raised her arms and shouted, "The mountain spirit has given us the next witch queen, and the mountain spirit has given us his daughter!" The witches rescued the maiden ashore, and when they saw her face as beautiful as a fairy, they fell to their knees and wept bitterly in gratitude for the compassion of the mountain spirits.
The rescued girl spit out a few mouthfuls of muddy water and coughed violently, but finally had normal breathing, and muttered to herself: "Brother Xiao Wu...... Brother Xiao Wu......"
Wuhuan Xiaowang Wu Liqi learned that the people of the Yan Tatar had found a girl in the river, and at first he didn't care, and then he heard the entourage report that the girl was as beautiful as a mountain spirit, so he became curious and took the entourage to watch. After only taking a look from a distance, Wu Lijian suddenly stopped moving, and his breath was short.
The people were very taboo about others touching their witches, so they sent people to separate the Wuhuan people.
Wu Liyun, who fell in love with the witch at first sight, immediately went to Ulkanha and instructed: "I don't care what method you use, I want to get that woman, that fairy-like girl, I lack a princess, and she is my princess." β
Urkanha jumped up and objected, "This is impossible, the witch is their holy maiden, and she will never be able to touch a man. If you really do this, you will be the enemy of the entire Eight Divisions of the Evil Spirit. β
Wu Li gritted his teeth and said, "But I fell in love with this woman, teacher, you know, I have never been in love with any woman." β
Urkanha despised in his heart, you bastard male concubines and dozens of concubines, you actually have the face to talk about love or not, you only love yourself, he said loudly: "What you want is not a woman, what you want is the Wuhuan Empire, what you want is the world, what you want is Roland's world as a slave!" β
Wu Li said with a bitter face: "This conquest of the world is not for a while, but a woman's youth can be fleeting, when I have the world, she has already become an old woman, what do I want her to do?" When my mom? β
Urkanha glared at him and reprimanded: "Your Excellency, if you are just a little king who is drunk with women, why do you need to go east to conquer the Holy Han? Now return to the city of Mai and wait in the palace for the news of the victory of the army. On that warm throne, you can hug your male and female concubines left and right, how comfortable is that? But why are you here? Have you forgotten your ambitions and ambitions? β
Wu Lijian sighed regretfully: "I want a woman, and I want the world even more, but unfortunately I can't have both." β
The two were talking, and the guards informed the leader of the Ya Tatar, Ayagu Langtai, that he wanted to see him, and Wu Lijian looked at Urkanha, and Urkanha immediately said that the overall situation is important, and the overall situation is important!
Although Wu Lijian regretted it, he would not really delay the big event for a woman, so he announced that Aya Gu Langtai came in.
After entering the tent, Ayagu Langtai held his hands on his forehead and saluted for a tassel salute before saying, "Aya Gulangtai needs a city to bring my people into civilization, so we decided to exchange our allies for a gift to the earth city." β
Wu Liqi and Urkanha were taken aback, and the people of the Devil wanted Tucheng? Are they well fed?
Ulkanha immediately said: "We need to discuss it. β
Ayagu Langtai smiled and nodded, slowly retreating.
Wu Li was so angry that he split the table in half with a sword, and scolded angrily: "Are the people of the Devil crazy? It is simply unreasonable to make such an unreasonable demand, and it is simply crazy! I don't agree and will never agree! β
Urkanha thought twice before saying, "Your Excellency, what was the reason why we besieged Tucheng in the first place? β
"For the sake of Saibei, for the sake of the crow-gold granary."
"yes, so Tucheng isn't our target at all." Urkanha analyzed, "Who should give this earthen city to actually has nothing to do with us. Tucheng can be returned to Ligaotu, or it can be given to Ayagu Langtai. Although the strategy of diverting the tiger from the mountain failed, the Han army in Tucheng was completely killed by us, and by the way, we also wiped out nearly 100,000 men from the surrounding tribes, and we have already achieved a great success in front of the khan. β
Wu Lijian said, "Then can you exchange the witch for the earth city?" Urkanha got up angrily, and Wu Li hurriedly grabbed him, and said with a smile: "It's just a joke, don't take it seriously." β
Urkanha then sat down and said, "We will give the city to the Tatars, so that the Tatars and the Tatars will become mortal enemies from now on, so that the two sides can gradually be weakened." We must exterminate not only the Holy Han, but also all the alien races, as long as they never stop, we can rule the world. You must not only learn the spirit of the Roland people to enslave the world, but also avoid the great mistakes made by the Rolands, and give the aliens time to live and rest, that is, to give them time to exterminate my Wuhuan people. β
Wu Lijian nodded, this is Wu Huan's national policy.
Urkanha continued: "Only the dead are our friends, and all the living aliens are our enemies. Shenghan, Shen Ya, Tatar, Uzi, Yueshi, Shengfan, Utu, Beiyi, etc., once they are stronger than us, they will try their best to exterminate our national race. We must exterminate them when they are at their strongest, so that our children and grandchildren will not be in danger. Your Excellency, you are destined to be recorded in history, so you must do great things, not think about trivial things - especially women. β
Wu Li stretched out his hands and said, "I know, didn't you just tell me not to think about that woman?" Forget it, I listen to you, I always listen to your teacher. It's just that this Tucheng can't be given to the people so easily, I'm not reconciled, after all, in order to capture the Tucheng, we even sent the most powerful trebuchets from the country. β
Urkanha smiled slyly: "Naturally we can't give it like this, we have to let the Tatars and the others fight and grab them, so that we can give the Golden Horde camp a smooth excuse, and we have to make Ligaotu believe that it is the Tatars who look down on the Tatars, not our provocation." β
