Chapter 59: The Living Sacrifice of the Holy Maiden
Reaching out to take away the white scarf that covered her mouth, Bai Ruxue changed her voice in horror and shouted, "Brother Huangfu, why are you tying me up, what are you bringing me here for?" β
Huang Fuxian stood up straight elegantly, brushed his cuffs without a single wrinkle, and smiled: "You'll know right away." Glancing back at the door, Huichun, who was waiting outside, walked in.
Bai Ruxue glanced at Huang Fuxian with wide eyes, and then stared at the rejuvenation that was walking towards her indifferently. Realizing that danger was approaching, she struggled and shouted, "What are you going to do, let me go, let me go." β
Ignoring Bai Ruxue's frightened shouts, Huichun scooped up her hands and carried her to the altar. After clicking on her soft, Rejuvenation untied the ropes that bound her.
Huang Fuxian stood leisurely in front of the altar with his hands in his hands, and Hui Hui took the fire folds and put the silver candles around the altar one by one.
The originally gloomy room finally lit up, and Bai Ruxue could finally see what the room that had scared her all morning looked like. With only her head moving, she looked around, and immediately screamed, but her body couldn't move a bit, and Bai Ruxue's face was so frightened that it was almost deformed.
On the walls around the altar stand many lifelike stone sculptures, all of which are hideous-looking, curled tongues and fangs. They have ornaments in the form of stone carvings or skulls dripping with human blood on their hands, and they are fierce and angry.
Countless Nu Venerables of different forms were all facing the same direction, and their eyes were all gathered in one place, which was the altar where Bai Ruxue was lying at the moment.
Then another group of people walked in from outside, and she recognized it as Zhu Shi, who was in charge of the sacrifice and prayer, and he was followed by several witches from the Ancestral Shrine Department. After they came in and saluted the emperor respectfully, they began to set up utensils around the altar.
After all, as the holy daughter of the Bu clan, there are not a few sacrificial books she has read since she was a child, and now she immediately understands Huang Fuxian's intentions.
He wanted to be sacrificed alive.
Make her a sacrifice to the gods.
Bai Ruxue trembled and said, "You want to sacrifice me...... Sacrifice to the gods? I am the holy daughter of the tribe of Bu......"
"I originally wanted to use the Bu clan to worship the heavens, but now you have replaced the whole clan as a saint of the clan. You should be honored to have such an identity. β
Bai Ruxue looked at Huang Fuxian with a calm expression, frightened and desperate, she still didn't understand why Huang Fuxian did this to her, "Why do you want to do this?" You brought us back? Why do this to us? β
Huang Fuxian slowly walked up to Bai Ruxue, the evil aura in his eyes was a little colder, but his tone was gentle and terrifying, "I want to know why?" This is what you owe to the Ying royal family. A hundred years ago, you abandoned your duties and left without leaving a word, so that the Ying royal family was almost wiped out, and the century-old foundation was almost destroyed in my hands. And now, the royal people who are originally of the Ying bloodline are not only unable to inherit the throne, but also the surname of the clan. Say, "Are you the right to make up for all these sins?" β
"You can't do this to me, the high priestess knows, she won't let you go."
Huang Fuxian laughed, calm and relaxed, "Only exchange your life for the lives of her entire clan, she will be grateful to you." β
Bai Ruxue never dreamed that the man who treated her gently and reassuring people on weekdays, and made her the most defenseless, would now trick her into coming here and want to use her as a living sacrifice. Her teeth chattered uncontrollably, Bai Ruxue stared at Huang Fuxian with fear and anger, and cried, "You are not human. β
The smile on his face was like a spring breeze, "You only have this understanding now, but I'm afraid it's too late." Reaching out to comb her messy hair casually, Huangfu Xian smiled again, as if he had cared for her in the past and said, "And don't you always say that you want to do something for Huangfu Brother?" Now is the best opportunity for you to help Brother Huangfu, why don't you want to? β
Bai Ruxue shook her head vigorously, and said pleading with tears on her face: "Brother Huangfu, if you let me go, what are you going to do, the high priest will help you." The high priest doesn't know I'm here yet, and if you let me go, I won't say anything. β
With a chuckle, Huang Fuxian withdrew his hand and looked at Bai Ruxue with a slight sarcasm in his eyes: "Xue'er, Xue'er, should you be naΓ―ve, or should you be too stupid." Now to mention Ain again, it is only in vain. Didn't she remind you not to approach me? You yourself are going into this abyss, and now no one can save you. After speaking, Huang Fuxian turned around and walked out, turned his head sideways and said lightly to Huichun, "Let's start." β
Zhu Shi and the others set up an array around the altar and began the sacrifice.
Rejuvenation walked up to her, pulled her hand to an infinitely extending groove on the side of the altar, took out the dagger and cut a slender cut on her wrist, and then smeared a layer of colorless ointment.
The wound was not deep, and the blood was slowly flowing out a little bit, drop by drop on the groove.
Bai Ruxue's trembling body was clinging to the marble altar, cold sweat broke out on her forehead, and her face turned pale, "What did you paint on me?" β
Rejuvenation put away the ointment and replied emotionlessly: "The ointment that will not heal the wound." β
The dripping blood slowly pooled into a puddle on the groove, and then began to flow down the extended groove like a slow current.
Zhu Shi began to circle around the altar, reciting the sacrificial words in his mouth.
The fine pain was clearly transmitted on her wrist, but the infinite horror spread throughout her body, and Bai Ruxue, who knew that there was no way out, cried in despair.
......
I don't know how long it took, Ruoxin woke up slowly, only to feel a soft, strange dark fragrance under her body. When she opened her eyes, she found herself lying on top of the brocade mattress, and looking around, Ruoxin noticed that the room she was in was very strange and unfamiliar.
The four walls are painted with the legendary protectors of the gods in Dongheng, whose faces are like life, either merciful or hideous, and when you look up at the roof, you can see that even the top is densely painted with those gods. The room didn't look like a dormitory, more like a sacrificial hall, but it wasn't the royal hall she remembered.
Thinking of what happened before fainting, this is still the Xianwang Mansion?
There was nothing in the room except a large bed beneath her, not even windows and doors. The large bed was placed in the middle of the room, and three layers of light green curtains hung from the top, surrounding the whole large bed. On the three corners of the large bed are three artifacts - the Soul Suppression Stone, the Demon Black Wood, and the Rosary Bead.
Ruoxin hurriedly reached out to retrieve them.
Things are very strange, Ruoxin is holding three artifacts tightly in her hands, and she is trying to get up and get out of bed before she can stand up, when she suddenly feels dizzy, and her limbs are weak and weak.
"You have just reshaped your body, and your soul is still merging, so it's better not to move." Huang Fuxian's lazy voice came from outside the green curtain, Ruoxin was taken aback, watching Huang Fuxian who appeared at some point slowly lift the green curtain, and looked at her with a faint smile on his lips.
