0011 Leisurely falling, life and death
Mu Hanyu suddenly felt that there was little hope, in previous years, the human sacrifice ceremony was presided over by Shui Xuanzi, accompanied by more than six or two elders, but this year's human sacrifice ceremony, the female patriarch came in person, accompanied by the national teacher, the ten elders served, and the important ministers of the national capital were around, which shows how important the human sacrifice ceremony is this year!
Chu Wuxian, Chu Wuxian, what kind of person are you, and how can you be saved in such a situation?
Mu Hanyu and Duan Xin glanced at each other, and finally understood that in the past few days, the token has been renewed and the vigilance has been strengthened, and it turned out that the matriarch was here in person!
Just as the two of them were muttering, an old man on the high platform read aloud: "Nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine holy products, Phantom Water Town Chu has ascended to heaven without a trace!"
The sound is deep, clear and loud. This old man is Cheng Datong, the chief guard of the mass grave, who is over half a hundred years old, with a childish face and a kind face.
At this time, he shouted Chu Wuxian's name, only to see Chu Wuxian surrounded by eight biao-shaped big men, and slowly walked out from behind the high platform.
Chu Wuxian was obviously cast a spell, but he looked sluggish and couldn't speak, so he would only follow the big men to the high platform. This is the last case of this year's holy product, Cheng Datong according to the custom, naturally is to burn incense to worship the sky, after some red tape, let the eight biao-shaped men lift Chu Wuxi, slowly walk to a cliff place: this is the place where human sacrifice ascends to heaven.
In fact, this is the place where you fell into the unfathomable valley of the mass grave.
Mu Hanyu was in a hurry, and shouted loudly: "Wait, Chu Wuxian can't be used as a human sacrifice holy product!"
Duan Xin wanted to die, and he had made a big taboo when he sneaked up the mountain, and if he was known by Cheng Datong, the chief of the guard, he would be punished heavily. Now, Mu Hanyu has no newly issued tokens, and in front of the matriarch and the national teacher, he loudly stopped it at the most critical moment of the human sacrifice, isn't this self-defeating?
However, Duan Xin wondered, why couldn't Chu Wuxian be used as a human sacrifice?
In this whole world, only the patriarch is the exception, and everyone else can be used as human sacrifice. The patriarch is the master of the human world appointed by the gods, and of course it cannot be regarded as a human sacrifice.
Unless Chu Wuxian is the current patriarch.
Everyone was stunned, and they all turned their heads and looked at Duan Xin and Mu Hanyu who were hiding behind them.
Seeing that it was these two people, Cheng Datong's mouth let out a vague oops, but he didn't dare to move. The national teacher Shui Xuanzi, who did not change his face, turned around, glanced at Mu Hanyu, ignored Mu Hanyu at all, and nodded towards Cheng Datong instead.
Cheng Datong naturally understood what it meant, no matter what happened, the human sacrifice ceremony could not be interrupted, so he hurriedly urged the Biao-shaped Han to walk towards the place where he ascended to heaven.
Seeing this, Mu Hanyu took an arrow step, ran to the front of the biao-shaped big man, blocked the way, and shouted at Shui Xuanzi: "National teacher, this person can't be used as a human sacrifice, otherwise, my Black Water Clan will be cursed!"
"Presumptuous!"
Cheng Datong jumped off the stage, stretched out his hand and wanted to flash over, but he couldn't bear to hit Mu Hanyu, and his outstretched hand became a pull, wanting to pull Mu Hanyu aside.
Mu Hanyu didn't stop until he reached his goal, he stood in front of the big man and continued: "National teacher, I will report to you the reason, I only hope that you will stop the human sacrifice ceremony, this Chu Wuxian can't die." ”
"What is immortal, human sacrifice is the supreme glory. ”
Cheng Datong was angry, just a few words doomed Mu Hanyu to death, but in front of everyone's eyes, it was a human sacrifice ceremony, and it was inconvenient for Shui Xuanzi to attack, otherwise, according to Shui Xuanzi's style of acting in the past, he would let people slash Mu Hanyu with a sword.
Shui Xuanzi still didn't move, the matriarch glanced here, glanced at Chu Wuxian slightly, and then remained silent and let the national teacher Shui Xuanzi dispose of it.
Mu Hanyu saw that Shui Xuanzi was indifferent, so he became more and more angry, thinking about it, it was better to tell him what Nangong Hanqiao said, maybe it could have a role, otherwise Chu Wuxian would really die.
"Does the national teacher know about the Nangong family back then?"
Mu Hanyu's short words were no less than a thunderbolt on a sunny day, the matriarch Murong Shuang's face sank suddenly, and Shui Xuanzi suddenly stood up from the seat, staring at Mu Hanyu with a pair of eagle eyes, seemingly speaking slowly, but like thunder: "Captain Mu, do your duty and take care of your mouth." ”
"However, I can't help but say that according to Nangong Hanqiao, Chu Wuxian is the descendant of the first patriarch......"
"Presumptuous!"
Before the sound arrives, the person has arrived. Everyone didn't see clearly how Shui Xuanzi arrived at Mu Hanyu's side, and before Mu Hanyu finished speaking, he felt that a gust of wind blew in front of him, followed by the ** on his neck, and his tongue kept calling, but he opened his mouth but couldn't speak.
"Mu Hanyu, you have escaped, and now you still want to accompany Chu Wuxian to worship the gods?" When Shui Xuanzi said this, Mu Hanyu understood everything, Shui Xuanzi should be clear about all kinds of things that happened in Phantom Water Town, but why didn't he believe that it was true? Could it be that there was really some earth-shattering conspiracy in this?
It's a pity that Chu Wuxian was cast a spell, if it weren't for this, how could he be motionless and at the mercy of others, and there was no resistance?
Mu Hanyu, who was speechless, rolled her eyes anxiously, and looked at Chu Wuxian in a flash, just wanting to tell him that she Mu Hanyu really did her best. Chu Wuxian seemed to understand, a layer of mist flashed in his eyes, there was a way that a man bleeds without tears, but he has not reached the sad place, Chu Wuxian feels extremely grateful in his heart for what Mu Hanyu did just now.
He was born to protect the people he loves.
And now, there is nothing he can do.
Seeing Cheng Datong and Duan Xin forcibly dragging Mu Hanyu away, Chu Wuxian could only sigh, wishing to meet again in the next life.
The female patriarch Murong Shuang stretched out her hand to summon Shui Xuanzi, who walked up to the queen respectfully, lowered her eyes and replied: "Patriarch Hui, just now the people of Huanshui Town sacrificed the holy product Chu Wuxi, because of a marriage with this woman Mu Hanyu, this caused so many accidents, and Weichen will handle it properly." ”
The matriarch nodded and asked, "Confirm that Chu Wuxian is not a descendant of the first patriarch?"
"It's not. The fact that the young master was brutalized to death by the Nangong family back then was seen by everyone, and the fact that Chu Wuxian was the young master was Mu Hanyu's nonsense, which was groundless. Shui Xuanzi replied categorically.
The matriarch bows her head.
Shui Xuanzi turned around, waved his big hand, and eight big men carried Chu Wuxian and threw Chu Wuxian into the cliff of the mass grave without hesitation in the melodious sound of silk and bamboo around him.
After Cheng Datong and Duan Xin watched Chu Wuxian being thrown down, they secretly breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, Mu Hanyu could be regarded as saving his life.
At this time, the sun flashed, and the golden ring hidden in Mu Hanyu's sleeve suddenly emitted a faint light, and no one noticed it, but Shui Xuanzi noticed it!
Cheng Datong and Duan Xin were still sighing, and before they came back to their senses, they felt a gentle gust of wind on their faces, and they saw Shui Xuanzi lifting Mu Hanyu from in front of his eyes, as if throwing away a small pebble, pushing Mu Hanyu off the cliff along the place where Chu Wuxian fell just now.
Cheng Datong didn't understand, the matter was over, why did he still have to take Hanyu's life?
However, all this that happened to Mu Hanyu was treated as if it had not happened, just like a leaf falling from a tree, and it did not cause any commotion, and it seemed that it should be done.
Yes, in the Black Water Clan, in this national capital, as long as they are clan members, these people who hold great power, and these low-level villagers, all have the right to kill and kill, and a small slaughter in Phantom Water Town can arbitrarily judge a person's life and death, let alone a national teacher?
No one noticed that when Shui Xuanzi was slowly accompanying the matriarch Luo Gai, Flawless walked to Shui Xuanzi's side, and Shui Xuanzi only said one sentence: "Kill Nangong Hanqiao, slaughter poison must die, anyone who knows about this matter, I don't want to see it again." "Flawless listened to it, he didn't dare to have the slightest disobedience, and he didn't know why the two of them died, but this was the order of the national teacher, if he wanted to live, he had to go to Phantom Water Town in person, kill Nangong Hanqiao, kill Tu Poison, no conditions, no excuses, just do what you are told.
Flawless withdrew from his entourage and turned around and walked in the direction of Phantom Water Town.
Everyone was scattered during the human sacrifice ceremony, and on the cold mountain top, only the chief guard Cheng Datong and the chief guard Duan Xin were left, as well as a few guards who rushed over after hearing the wind, especially a few guards under Mu Hanyu, who were anxiously red-eyed, surrounded Cheng Datong, and asked anxiously: "Mu Tou was really thrown down?"
Cheng Datong stomped his feet angrily: "This girl was arrogant in the past, but today is such a grand event, dare to tell right and wrong in front of the patriarch and the national teacher, can she know that there was a melee in the national capital eighteen years ago, and the relationship between the patriarch and the national teacher was tense? ”
Cheng Da is over half a hundred years old in the same year, and he often goes to the national capital to deal with some affairs, so he naturally knows some things. But Duan Xin and the others only know how to guard the mass grave, who knows what happened back then?
Duan Xin ran to the side of the cliff, regardless of the dissuasion of his companions, he wanted to climb slowly towards the bottom of the valley, Cheng Datong saw it, sighed, and said: "Duan Xin, come up, there is no hope, what kind of person is the national teacher, if you want to deal with Mu Hanyu, how can it be possible for Mu Hanyu to survive?"
Duan Xinxin, who said a few words, was sad and couldn't help but have tears in his eyes: "Boss, this person can't say that it's gone, isn't it, a person who was alive just now, didn't he just say a few words, how can he say kill it?"
"Shut up, this can only be said here, if you go out of the mass grave, you can't say it. Cheng Datong pulled Duan Xin over, and several other guards hurriedly came over and set up Duan Xin.
Cheng Datong continued: "A few of you have remembered, even if what happened today is over, no one is allowed to mention it in the future, otherwise, don't blame me Cheng Datong for not being emotional." ”
After that, Cheng Datong has to arrange some clean water and food, this time of year is the busiest, the road is full of convoys of various tribes transporting food to mass graves, and this situation will basically last for three or four months, until the Xuanbing Palace orders the termination. Cheng Datong's task is to throw some food and water to the bottom of the mass grave according to a certain amount, and they don't know why they do it, thinking that it is for the worship of God, so no one dares to slack off on this matter.
Now, there are a few young juniors left on the top of the mountain, looking at each other, they can't imagine that Mu Hanyu is a living person, and the fragrance is shattered in an instant.
If you don't believe it, you don't believe it, and if you don't want to be unwilling, that's it, in such a country, such things abound, after all, they are a special group of people in this country, not bound by the rules and regulations of the family, and their natural habits are perverse, if they are a villager, their words are enough to be convicted and killed. Cheng Datong's intimidation is not groundless, it's just that these young descendants really like to Mu Hanyu.
They could only turn back three times in one step, and reluctantly left this sad place, and hurried to follow Cheng Datong to meet the convoy carrying food.
