Chapter 41: The Living Sacrifice

Following the minimap prompted on the interface, Yang Yuying led the way for Zou Yan and the two young masters, and Ouyang Xue paused.

"I'm going hunting."

Before he could finish speaking, he turned and disappeared into the path.

The remnant sword and the old man stared at Ouyang Xue's back irrepressibly, and the skin of their bodies trembled slightly.

They already knew that there was Ouyang Xueqi, but it was the first time they had seen him.

At this time, the two of them had only one feeling - not to be his enemy.

The group soon arrived at the ancestral hall.

When I entered the gate, I saw a large cage on the ground in the middle of the ancestral hall, and a nest of people was locked in the big cage.

When Zou Yan saw Zhao Yi, the son of the pure king sitting in the cage, there was not much fluctuation in his heart, but he smiled.

Zhao Yi puffed out his face, and in addition to his family, there were two young people, a man and a woman.

Looking at the dress of this pair of men and women, they should have an excellent family background, Zhao Yi obviously knows the two of them, and protects the girl without a trace.

Zou Yan suddenly asked: "What is the relationship between you going to Zhennan Wang Zhaozi?" ”

The young man in the cage was stunned, frowned and bowed his head, and refused to speak.

Zou Yan pondered for a moment, and then stopped asking.

The village chief and more than a dozen villagers in the ancestral hall did not prevent them from talking, and as soon as they raised their heads at this time, they stood up with one knee, and saluted Yang Yuying.

"These false courtesies are all waived, and they are down to business."

Yang Yuying said with a smile, and didn't do much to introduce, the two sides had no intersection, and the introduction was useless, so she just sat down on the chair along the way, "Are you ready?" The old village chief also asked to arrange it as soon as possible. ”

The village chief looked to be seventy or eighty years old, and his body still seemed to be healthy, and his voice was like a bell.

"The sacrifices are all in place, and when the moon is full, the sacrifice begins."

As he spoke, he clapped his hands.

On the flat field outside the ancestral hall, the children who were playing and laughing together gathered one after another, and after a short time they stood in a horizontal and vertical column, moving extremely fast, obviously well-trained.

At first glance, there were at least dozens of young boys and girls, the eldest was no more than fourteen or fifteen years old, and the younger looked to be only eight or nine years old, each wearing the most luxurious and beautiful dress, and the gold and silver ornaments on their bodies were simple and solemn.

Zou Yan was shocked.

Zhao Yi heard it in the cage, looked at it with his feet, frowned, and said sharply: "Who are you?" Take these children alive, and there is no royal law! Zou Yan, what do you do in the Imperial City Division, why don't you care? ”

The village chief sighed and explained to him politely.

"A living sacrifice is a living sacrifice, but it doesn't necessarily die."

The voice was soft and kind, but Zhao Yi's face was blue, and he was so angry that his heart and liver hurt.

"I, Zhao Yi, have not been a thing since I was a child, but I didn't expect you to look at your kind eyebrows, let alone a person!"

Zou Yan's expression also became solemn, looking at Yang Yuying, and his always gentle face showed a little coldness.

Yang Yuying kept her face expressionless, and she was actually a little nervous in her heart, sure enough, the plot scene copy was so strange that it was not bad at all.

Looking at the tension here, but in fact, the atmosphere in the ancestral hall is relaxed and lively.

Several villagers laughed and teased the children: "Is it good to roast the little lambs for you to eat at the end of the sacrifice, didn't your Uncle Wang's sheep just give birth to two little lambs?" ”

The eyes of a very tall young man at the head widened, and he said very seriously: "Baa Baa hasn't grown up yet, so I can't eat it." ”

There was laughter in the ancestral hall.

Zhao Yi's eyes were like knives, and he hanged on everyone in the ancestral hall.

Yang Yuying saw that his eyebrows were beating and his eyes were rolling, knowing that this kid might be holding back, and he was thinking about how to make trouble.

While they were chatting, there was a sudden sharp whistling sound outside.

The villagers in the ancestral hall stood up one after another, and through the window, they could see the demons dancing outside, and a large number of flowers suddenly flashed in the eastern sky.

"Southeast 23, the enchantment is broken, determine that an eight-legged spider escaped, in the direction of Baiyun Peak, whoever is close, quickly go to support."

The words flashed three times in a row.

Zhao Yi was startled and looked around in disbelief.

The villagers in the ancestral hall ignored him, and several of them sighed with helpless faces, got up and went out to work.

The village chief shook his head: "Now the young people in the village are frivolous, far less than before, you see, the enchantment began to be set up three days ago, and now it is either broken here, or leaked there, hey, to let the ruling make a joke." ”

After a few words of gossip, the village chief arranged for Yang Yuying to stay for the time being.

Zou Yan and the three of them hesitated for a moment, did not make a move, but walked with her, and the village chief did not stop him, so he looked at Zhao Yi, the prince of Chunwang, and said with a smile: "Lord Xueguan, at the moment, our village is indeed busy with the sacrificial ceremony, and there is no time to entertain you. ”

The old man is polite and polite, compared with those rough men who often cry and scold their mothers in Dengzhou, they are like aristocrats.

Zhao Yi: "......"

Yang Yuying chuckled: "How did Zhao Yi get to the village?" You have taken them captive? ”

The village chief looked helpless: "The ruling envoy laughed, our Silver Horn Village has always behaved well, and we don't like to provoke right and wrong, how can we go to kidnap the school official." ”

"It was he who suddenly appeared, and he had to come to the village to inspect, so I sent three groups of people to stop him, but he couldn't stop it, and it was not easy to be tough, so he found a loophole to get into the village."

"At this time, there are a lot of evil monsters drilled out of the cracks of the seal, and the little old man doesn't dare to let them go like this, if you really let them go, isn't it a meat bun beating a dog?"

"I can only grieve them for a few days."

Yang Yuying smiled and nodded: "Just stay in the cage, it's safe in the cage." ”

Compared with Zhao Yi's treatment, they are also uninvited guests, and the three of Zou Yan are much better, they walk around the village at will, and no one stops them wherever they want to go.

"This village looks ordinary."

Remnant Sword muttered to himself.

The whole village is very square and beautiful, all of them are stone houses, with cornices and corners, and exquisite carvings.

Not everyone wears that kind of gorgeous white clothes, and there are also many characters who look like ordinary village husbands and village women, carrying water and chopping firewood, doing farm work skillfully, and nagging are also the short and ordinary words of parents.

If it weren't for the whole day, all kinds of handwriting flashed in the air from time to time, and then there would be a large number of people in white chasing those strange monsters.

Not far away, there is still a scene of the end of the world falling.

Far away, the remnant sword could vaguely feel the magma tumbling out of the ground, the rolling heat wave.

I'm afraid that the three of them really think that this is an ordinary remote village, and the villagers are still knowledgeable, and it seems that the local government has made meritorious contributions to education.

If it is three days, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming.

The atmosphere in the village was still very lively, but Zou Yan found that almost every household began to put out the prepared coffins and shrouds to dry, and the paper shop at the entrance of the village was busy lighting lamps and boiling oil all night.

Remnant Jian saw a cute little girl with Yuxue, and said to the owner of the paper shop: "I want a wedding dress, I will wear it when I get married to Brother Atao." ”

"Okay."

The young man who was doing paper work smiled and was not surprised at all.

Yang Yuying was promoted by two levels in three days, faster than her own leveling for a month, her family is very stingy in this game, and rarely improves her experience so happily, so she is also happy, and she eats an extra bowl when she goes to the cafeteria to eat.

"What the hell is this place!"

The remnant sword and the old year can't eat half a bowl.

"There's something hidden on the hill over there, it's like the sky is falling apart, it's dangerous, isn't it?"

The old man poked the rice grains in the bowl, and finally couldn't help but ask.
