Chapter 180: Life for life
Mo Xuanyi couldn't help her, if he didn't tell her, how could he be willing to be a sacrifice.
Last night, he went to the temple for no reason, he learned from Mu Changfeng. The regent will also attend tomorrow's sacrifice ceremony, and it is impossible for him not to make a fuss, and if it is to go smoothly, it will have to use some means.
Bai Xiyue also learned about Gu Yichen's Gu poison last night, it turned out that Su Linger couldn't die This is what it means, she really didn't expect that he was willing to take poison in order to save himself, and it was false to say that he was not moved, no matter what the reason, he must be saved.
As for how Mo Xuanyi knew about Gu Poison, she didn't want to pursue it anymore, and vaguely felt that the Floating Island was a troublesome place, and after solving this matter, she found the spirit stone and left here.
"Please go up!" Wen Zhu stood in front of her and pointed to the high platform in front of her, this is the top of the clouds, the high platform is an altar, they think this is the closest place to the gods, and the goddess should return to heaven from here.
Bai Xiyue walked up step by step, Mu Changfeng was in a very complicated mood, she wanted to live, but she didn't want to exchange Bai Xiyue's life, if she died, she was afraid that the regent would bloody the floating island again.
Yu Chiyan stared at the figure, you really can't escape the fate of becoming a sacrifice, after you leave, I will help you take good care of the regent.
It was the first time Mu Fan had seen the priestess and didn't know what it meant, so he didn't have any expression on his face.
"Qi'er, does it really matter if this happens, Regent, will he not," An Jinshu didn't say any more, she just wanted Feng'er to live, why was it so difficult.
Mu Liuzhen didn't speak, he didn't know what the attitude of the regent was, but once the goddess was sacrificed, it was absolutely impossible for her to survive, and it was impossible for the princess regent not to know about this matter, how could she agree.
At this moment, she was already standing on the altar, like an unattainable immortal, looking at the ants below with contempt.
The so-called sacrificial rites are nothing more than the passing of life, the life of the goddess to each cursed person, so as to prolong their life.
But Bai Xiyue discovered the secret, which is why she has no fear.
Mu Changfeng then also went to the altar, and the two faced each other, "White girl, you don't have to do this, this is not a joke, you will really die, now it's too late to regret it, I'll go talk to the high priest." ”
Saying that he was going to go down, Bai Xiyue grabbed him, "Don't you want to live, if you want to live, you have to listen to me." ”
"But,,," he was still a little worried.
"No, do you really think that I will die for you, but I have my own purpose, otherwise, I would have left with the Lord Regent long ago. She couldn't see Mu Changfeng so indecisive, it really didn't look like his style.
He suddenly laughed, "This is like you, the cat that hides its claws in the dark night, is it going to show up now?" ”
"As long as you don't stop me, at least this claw won't hurt you. Bai Xiyue didn't mind being seen through by him, anyway, sooner or later it would be exposed.
The people in the audience couldn't hear what the two of them were talking about, and Mo Xuanyi was a little anxious, "The time has come, Mu Gongzi, don't do it yet." ”
Mu Changfeng heard his urging voice and picked up the dagger on the platform, "Princess Regent, offended." ”
With a knife down, blood flowed out and dripped onto the altar, drawing a pattern along the curved streaks on the ground, and the four night pearls around them lit up, emitting a strange and soft red light.
There was a huge stone in front of it, and the blood flowed near the stone, and the stone suddenly cracked, and in the middle was a more huge night pearl, and the dazzling light shone on the two people, and the people in the audience couldn't open their eyes.
Mo Xuanyi could clearly see Bai Xiyue's face, it was so indifferent and calm, she noticed his gaze, slowly turned her head, the two looked at each other, she suddenly laughed, the smile was bright and beautiful, and it hit his heart.
"Wen Zhu, will she die!"
Wen Zhu suddenly heard the master's question, and he still had some doubts in his heart, but he still answered truthfully, "The master, the goddess of the past generations, has never survived." ”
"Yes, I never survived," Mo Xuanyi said to himself, he looked at the high platform again, and Bai Xiyue fell down abruptly.
Gu Yichen saw her fall, clenched the sword in his hand, and was about to step forward, but Dark Liuyi grabbed him, "Lord, don't act rashly, have you forgotten what the princess said." ”
"This king knows!" He tried to calm down, but he couldn't hide his trembling hands.
Mo Xuanyi's heart froze, "I want her to live." ”
"High Priest!"
Everyone didn't expect that the high priest, who had always been ruthless and ruthless, would actually rush to the altar, but soon he was blocked, once the altar was formed, the others could not come up, and it must be completed before it could be unlocked!
The so-called can't go up, but the strong light of the night pearl, hidden on the steps of the altar, and under the altar, is the abyss, falling down there is no possibility of survival, is the source of the clouds.
"High Priest, you can't go!" The others immediately rushed up to stop him, if the high priest died, the entire floating island would be in big trouble, Yu Chixuan also walked over, even if he was reluctant, he had to endure for the sake of the overall situation.
"High priest, what are you doing, this goddess was chosen by you, and now this is a repentance. The owner of the island said mockingly.
"Look! Blood,,"
Suddenly, someone shouted.
Everyone raised their heads and looked towards the steps, only to see that bright red blood flowed down the steps, and soon turned into a river of blood.
"How can this be, master, how can this blood be shed." Wen Zhu was also stunned.
This had never happened before with those sacrifices.
"Cherish the moon!" When Gu Yichen saw the bloodstains, he couldn't bear it anymore, and immediately rushed forward, even if he couldn't see the steps in front of him clearly, he entered the bright light without hesitation.
Mo Xuanyi forcibly shattered the Night Pearl with his internal force, and the strong light went down in an instant.
The crowd was so frightened by what they saw before them that they gathered under the altar and looked upward.
Seeing Mu Changfeng walk out first, there was no blood on his body at all, An Jinshu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, it's okay, but in this case, is the sacrifice considered a success.
He slowly walked down to them.
"Changfeng, what happened up there, how could this blood come down." Mu Liuqi hurriedly asked, his heart was also full of worry.
"You'll find out soon." His heart has not been able to calm down for a long time, the so-called sacrifice, the so-called curse, are just their imagination.
The strong light dissipated, and I saw a woman lying in the middle of the altar, surrounded by blood, Gu Yichen held her hand, but there was no angry look on her face.
Mu Liuzhen was a little strange, after shedding so much blood, it was impossible for her to survive, but the regent's expression was as if she was not dead, how could this be.
Mo Xuanyi noticed the abnormality, stood at the foot of the steps, stared at the figure lying in a pool of blood, the night pearl had been shattered, and the altar was unobstructed.
"Is she dead or alive, what is this ritual for?" Mu Fan was a little confused, but after so much blood, could she still be alive.
"Young master, don't you know?" The entourage behind him was a little hesitant, not knowing whether to talk about it or not, the young master was particularly attentive to this woman, which was not a good thing.
"What are you doing here, young master, if I knew, I would ask you what you were doing. His tone was impatient, and his heart was irritated.
"Young master, this sacrificial ceremony sounds good to send the goddess back, but in fact, it is to exchange life for life, and use the blood of the goddess to exchange for the longevity of Mu Gongzi."
The attendant said slowly, carefully observing his face.
"They are really not people, they can do such a thing that loses their conscience, his Mu Changfeng's life is life, and other people's lives are not life." Mu Fan was angry, seeing that the others were so happy before, he thought that this sacrificial ceremony was something that was beneficial to the floating island, but now it seems that all of them are a group of sanctimonious guys.
"No, I'm going to bring her down." As he spoke, he was about to rush forward, and the entourage would have expected him to make such a move, and immediately gave his eyes to the people behind him, and soon Mu Fan was surrounded.
"Young master, this is not your business, or don't go over, as for that woman, she is already certain to die."
"Yes, young master, let's not meddle in our affairs."
How could Mu Fan put them in his eyes, drew his sword, "Get out of the way, otherwise I won't spare you." ”
But those followers have already been instructed, and they are determined not to let him cause trouble again, and even if he dies here today, he cannot be allowed to pass.
Bai Xiyue saw that the time was almost up, and there was no need to lie down here and pretend to be dead, so she got up with Gu Yichen's strength.
Most of her clothes were dyed red, and even her hands were full of blood, and she slowly walked off the stage.
He didn't stop until Mo Xuanyi was in front of him, his face was indifferent, "The thing I promised you has been completed, what about the thing you promised me, hand over the antidote." ”
He hadn't reacted yet, with shock in his eyes, "You're not dead." ”
Bai Xiyue chuckled, "Die, why did I die, it's just that I shed some blood, and it's not to the point of death." ”
She wouldn't say that she used someone else's blood bag, not really cut her wrist, but now she is covered in blood, and people can't tell the truth from the fake.
Mo Xuanyi turned his head to look at the blood on the ground, it had to be human blood to make the Night Pearl light up, these were not fake.
In the past, the goddess would die of excessive blood loss, and she had shed several times as many times as usual, how could she still be intact.
"High priest, don't hesitate any longer, I have already done what you asked me to do, hurry up and hand over the antidote." Bai Xiyue was in no mood to deal with him, she was now full of Gu Yichen's poison.
The secret was in her, he suddenly rushed over, grabbed her wrist, touched her hand full of blood, she realized what he wanted to do, and immediately shook it off.
Gu Yichen held a sword in front of him, "If you take a step forward, I don't mind ruining your cloud peak, and if the floating island has no high priest, there will be no meaning of existence." ”
When the others heard this, they were all frightened in their hearts, and they stepped forward to stop him, "The high priest thinks twice before acting, this time the goddess can come down from the altar safely, which means that it is the will of God, why do you bother with this, after all, the curse of Mu Gongzi has ended." ”
"How do you know if his curse is solved, it won't be revealed. Mo Xuanyi was very angry in his heart, and always had a feeling of being deceived, but he couldn't find anything wrong, so he could only sulk alone.
The curse of their Mu family must go through this sacrificial ceremony before it slowly disappears, and if you want to know whether the sacrifice is successful, you will have to wait for a while.
Bai Xiyue stepped forward, "Don't worry, I promise he will be fine." ”
Since she dared to say this, she must be sure, and in fact, after knowing the secret of the sacrificial ceremony, she found that the strange illness of the Mu family was not caused by some curse, and the floating island was an isolated island, which was not very connected with the outside world, and this disease was indeed difficult to diagnose and treat, and it was possible not to judge.
