Chapter 637: The Ritual of Sacrifice

It was originally a matter of the youngest daughter's family, and Zhou Xuan was inconvenient to inquire, so he pulled Guan Qing, who pricked up his ears to listen, and pulled away.

"Master, they seem to be talking about some kind of ceremony." Guan Qing said.

"Oh? What other ceremonies are there on the island? Zhou Xuan asked David.

"There are a lot, but the more formal ones are still the succession and the weddings and funerals of the chief's family." David said.

"Is crying marriage also popular here?" Zhou Xuan smiled.

"No, every bride to be married is overjoyed and looks forward to the night of candles in the cave. In this way, not only do they become real women, but they also receive a share of property and have a certain degree of economic autonomy. ”

Here, Zhou Xuan and David were discussing local customs, and Guan Qing was still listening, "Master, that girl said she didn't want to die!" But her family was comforting her to die. ”

"Did you hear me wrong?" Zhou Xuan didn't believe it.

"Anyway, they kept mentioning death." Guan Qing said.

David couldn't understand Chinese, Guan Qing simply communicated with him in English, David shook his head, he hadn't heard of any ceremonies on the island that required dead people.

Guan Qing firmly believed that he had heard correctly, but Zhou Xuan still decided to ask for clarification, it was a big deal to be blasted out. If you can save someone's life, you can win the seventh-level floating slaughter.

The door was hidden, Guan Qing knocked a few times outside, but the movement inside was too big to hear, so he simply pushed the door in.

Seeing someone come in, the people in the house hurriedly wiped away their tears, they all knew David, and they had just heard about Zhou Xuan, so they let them into the house very enthusiastically.

The one who cried her nose was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, although her skin was very dark, her appearance met the standards of contemporary beauties, and her big eyes were watery and pitiful.

David said hello to them briefly, Zhou Xuan pointed to the girl, and asked, "Why are you crying?" ”

Along the way, Guan Qing began to be familiar with the language on the island, was in charge of translation, and made a crying face, the girl cried more fiercely, and the girl's family also showed sadness.

Suddenly, the girl ran to Guan Qing's side, grabbed his arm, said a lot in her mouth, probably meaning that she didn't want to die, and stuffed a shell ornament hanging from her waist into Guan Qing's hand.

Guan Qing took it casually, and the girl burst into tears and laughed, but the girl's family was a little unhappy, and said a lot.

"This girl wants to marry your apprentice." David smiled, this is a local custom, if the two are in love and give each other their tokens, then they can get married.

Guan Qing was startled when she heard this, and hurriedly threw away the jewelry, and the girl began to cry again.

This girl met Guan Qing for the first time, and she had no emotional foundation, and well, with the appearance of an apprentice, she would not fall in love at first sight, so she must have to do it.

After briefly communicating with them, David showed a surprised expression and kept saying, impossible, impossible.

"David, what did they say?" Zhou Xuan asked.

"I can't be sure because I have limited knowledge of the local language. They said that the clan would sacrifice the girl to the gods once every three years. ”

"Where to sacrifice?" Zhou Xuan asked again.

The girl and her family all pointed to the east, a primeval jungle where no inhabitants lived, but a sacred place where no one was allowed to enter or leave.

Zhou Xuan came up with a bold idea, could the Divine Eye be hidden inside?

After saying goodbye to the family, Zhou Xuan and the others immediately rushed to the so-called holy place. The island's population is growing, and the land is also expanding, and the jungle is very abrupt.

The roads are very difficult to walk, you can only walk on foot, you can't use vehicles, and in some places you need to clear the weeds before you can get there.

Finally, the three of them came to the center, the highest point of the area, which was bare, and there were no stone sculptures and altars to be seen, but only a well, two meters wide in diameter, covered with a stone slab.

The three of them worked together to lift the stone slab, and immediately a cold chill rushed to their faces, and a strange sobbing sound came from inside, like a human cry. David was a little nervous and said things like God bless.

Zhou Xuan threw down a small stone, but no echo was heard, and the well was bottomless.

Nothing else was found, the three of them covered the stone slab, but Zhou Xuan took out the compass, and after determining the direction, he began to look around.

"This is the mysterious magic weapon of the East, the compass." David knew.

"The feng shui here is very unusual." Zhou Xuan said.

"Are you a feng shui master?" David was surprised.

"I've been learning from Master for many years."

There are also many mountain ranges on the island, but they are not high, and there are also those that hover like dragons, Zhou Xuan carefully distinguished, and was very sure that this is the air outlet in feng shui, and it is also the beginning of the dragon vein.

However, this place cannot be called good feng shui, it is located in the land of the earth stars, which represents punishment and killing, but there is a greedy wolf in front of the left and a giant gate in the front right, and this place is a place of great wealth.

It's just that the giant gate star, which symbolizes the gathering of wealth, has already seen serious water and soil flow, and it will not take long for it to disappear completely, and feng shui will also change.

"According to the principles of Feng Shui, if you think of this place as a cemetery, you must be hiding great wealth." Zhou Xuan said.

"Could it be that the Eye of the Gods is inside?" David said happily.

"Quite possibly!" Zhou Xuan nodded.

Go back the way you came, go straight to Anfeniti, and get a definite answer from him.

"A few distinguished guests, the Holy Land is not allowed to be intruded into at will." As soon as they met, Anfeniti reminded with a smile, obviously complaining.

"Chief, is there a triennial ritual in the clan?" Zhou Xuan asked.

"Yes!"

"Is it a human sacrifice?"

"Yes, and she's an unmarried and pure girl. After washing, carry it to Kamigawa and throw it down from it, praying for the blessing of the gods. Anfeniti said.

The river of gods is the water under that well, and Zhou Xuan and David look at each other, it is too cruel. Anfeniti explains: "When the ceremony takes place, the tribal leaders of the whole island are present. There is an agreement between us that we will not take the opportunity to raid each other, otherwise we will be punished by the gods. ”

The primitive tribe attached great importance to the oath, and Zhou Xuan asked again: "What about the selection of girls?" Is it also from various tribes? ”

This one? Anfeniti wanted to speak and stopped, it is self-evident that all tribes are very strict about the population, and Anfeniti, as the largest tribe, must also make the greatest sacrifice.

For the sake of power, but to sacrifice the lives of young girls, this practice makes Zhou Xuan disdainful.

"If I unify the whole island, it will be abolished!" Anfenetti assures.

"Did the old chief go to the Holy Land before he died?" Zhou Xuan asked again.

Anfeniti was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, "I know what you think, this kind of ceremony is presided over by the chief himself. At that time, the old chief was very ill, and he was carried up by men, and by the practice of wizards, he would not come near. ”

"Zhou Xuan, do you think this gem was thrown down by the old chief at that time?" David asked.
