Chapter Twenty-Four: The Water Sacrifice Boy
Early the next morning.
Early in the morning of the second day, Yulan ran to Yu Wenjing's room and knocked on the door, knocked a few times and no one answered, so she slammed on the door and went in.
I saw Xiao Biao standing in the room in disheveled clothes, Yu Wenjing was helping her tie her belt, and when he saw that the door was smashed open, he subconsciously blocked in front of Xiao Biao.
Yulan's face turned red as soon as she "brushed", she hurriedly turned her back and said, "Little little little lady, I'm sorry, I didn't know about you...... You guys, oops, I thought you were gone, and you broke in on impulse, I'm really sorry! ”
Xiao Biao was helpless, and after getting dressed, he stepped forward and knocked on Yulan's head, and said, "What do you little girl think, let's just change the medicine." ”
"Little ...... The little lady woo-woo-woo. Yulan hugged Xiao Biao, and somehow cried: "Why didn't you call me when you got up last night, I didn't see you when I got up in the morning, I thought you were ...... You're ...... again Woooooooooooo ”
Xiao Biao sighed slightly and comforted: "Okay, I'm not here, let's go, let's go to the monk and see what he wants us to do today." ”
Magnolia wiped her tears and responded, "Hmm! ”
Xiao Biao went out and saw that in the monk's room, an oriental wood with huge dark circles came out, and the Tang Tang playboy seemed to be tortured.
Looking at the monk again, he was refreshed and light-hearted, and it was not difficult for Xiao Biao to imagine what happened yesterday.
Xiao Biao approached, patted Dongfang Mu's shoulder to show comfort, and then asked Jiechen: "Master, you said that you have something to ask for today, I don't know what it is?" ”
"This ......" Jiechen rarely showed a trace of worry, he clasped his palms and bowed to Xiao Biao, and then said slowly: "It's not a secret, today is the day of the sacrifice of the Sikong family, and after I escaped, the sacrifice was delayed again and again, and it finally fell on my younger brother......
Xiao Biao listened, knowing in his heart.
Another priest who does not know the height of the heavens.
It's another bunch of idiots who take human life as a child's play.
Xiao Biao crossed his arms in front of his chest and said, "So, you want us to save your younger brother?" ”
"Yes." Jiechen stared at him and said: "My younger brother is the second son of my third uncle, he is only five years old this year, he is really innocent, this matter is what I ask you extra, after saving him, we can arrange for Jiangnan Sikong family to completely cut off the sacrifice......
"Layout? Heh, don't bother. Xiao Biao sneered and said with great disdain: "Don't set up any tricks, go save that child first, and leave the matter of letting the Sikong family stop the sacrifice to me, don't worry." ”
"Huh?" Jiechen froze in surprise and said, "You...... Even if you are strong in martial arts, it is impossible for you to subvert the sacrificial ...... that has been passed down for hundreds of years so easily."
"If you can rest assured, I am still very experienced in dealing with this kind of thing." Xiao Biao said confidently: "Hurry up and solve this matter, I still have to go back to Beijing to participate in the Phoenix Terrace competition, first set off to the place where your younger brother was sacrificed, and on the way you are slowly saying what is going on." ”
In the carriage, quit the dust and tell the story.
More than a hundred years ago, the martial arts was still a group of heroes competing for hegemony and chaotic appearance, the ancestors of the Sikong family in order to protect themselves, but also in order to find a place in the martial arts, began to practice poisonous skills, they used the cold to raise highly poisonous spiders, and devoted the life of the first generation of the Sikong family to practice this cold spider venom.
The cold spider venom is huge, and it deters the martial arts for a while, but the good times do not last long, and some slippery heads in the martial arts are afraid of the Sikong family, so they make up rumors, saying that the Sikong family is practicing witchcraft, and over time it will bring terrible consequences to the people around them, and the rumors are like a knife, ruthlessly strangling the Sikong family that was just emerging at that time.
The head of the Sikong family couldn't bear to see the family business burned, so he put forward the request that a sacrifice be held every year to calm the anger of the public......
"And this time, the Jia family took advantage of the situation and wanted to forcibly stuff my young lady as my wife, so that I would not be a virgin and would not have to go to the sacrifice."
Speaking of these things, Jiechen is still a little sad, although Xiao Yang ridiculed him as a "demon monk", but he is always a flesh-and-blood Jiangnan genius......
He also has times when he is helpless, and he will not be able to do anything.
Xiao Biao nodded and continued to ask, "What about the method of sacrifice?" We must know how to save your brother. ”
"It's a water festival." Qu Chen's eyes were lowered, and he said worriedly: "It is to tie up my brother, put him in a cage, and then sink to the bottom of the impure pool......
Xiao Biao said, "Wait, what kind of place is this Bujing Pool?" What is the terrain like there? ”
Jiechen lifted the curtain of the carriage, pointed to a mountain in the west, and said: "The impure pool is in that mountain, and there is a karst cave formed one day in the mountain, there is a spring in the cave, and when the execution is carried out, it is necessary to immerse the person from the top of the cave into the spring water, and then listen carefully to the echo in the cave, and when the person no longer struggles, he can leave, and the cave is specially used for the sacrifice of the Sikong family, because there are many 'demons of the Sikong family', so the name is 'impure', which is quite ironic." ”
Xiao Yang smoothed out his train of thought and asked, "The cave only has an opening at the upper end, isn't it?" ”
"It used to be like this." "But I dug a secret passage a few months ago, which can lead straight into the cave, so I ......"
Xiao Yang continued: "So we can wait in the cave, and when someone puts the iron cage down, we will come to the rescue, so that we can save some unnecessary conflicts." ”
Xiao Biao said firmly, "Then let's go to the cave first, Yulan...... Don't follow me, we may not be able to take care of you later. ”
"Little lady, Yulan can defend herself, and she doesn't need to ask others to take care of it." Yulan patted her chest and said, "Little lady, let me follow, I promise not to support your hind legs." ”
Jiechen smiled and said, "It's just to go to the cave to save people, there's no danger, you just let the Yulan girl follow." ”
"That'...... Oriental ......"
Xiao Yang glanced at the half-dead Dongfang Mu, and asked with concern, "Do you want to go back to the inn to rest......
"Impossible!" Dongfang Mu put a pair of tired eyes on his head and said, "I will be where the prince is, I am the man who shoulders the rise and fall of the Lan Dynasty!" ”
Xiao Biao was speechless, Dongfang Mu seemed to be sleepy and a little delirious, he grabbed the collar of Jiechen and yelled: "It's not because of this guy, what are you doing, you can't hold grudges first!" I borrowed a little bed from him, and he let the cold poison go all night, making me unusually awake this night! ”
"Hey, it turns out that cold poison also has a refreshing effect." Xiao Biao gave Jiechen a thumbs up: "Your trick is very powerful." ”
Jiechen couldn't help but ridicule: "Miss Qu is too famous, but it's just a habit of becoming natural, I can give you another pair of this refreshing cold poison." ”
Bujingtan is in the mountains, the carriage can not go up the mountain, can only get off the car halfway and walk, fortunately, the secret road is not far from the mountain pass, and a few people walked for a while and entered the secret road.
This secret passage is very spacious, and two people can walk side by side, Xiao Biao and the others prepared torches, and walked along the secret passage all the way, and soon they could reach the impure pool......
