Chapter 102: Under the starlight, sacrifice summons divine beasts
When the two guards saw the princess come to them again, they were embarrassed when they heard her say that there was another roar of bears outside the house, "Princess, yesterday we have checked the whole stockade and found no footprints of bears, nor any other wild beasts. ”
Naxi said angrily, "If you didn't have yesterday, it doesn't mean that you don't have today, do you want to go?" ”
The guards looked at the dungeon, after all, the key was on them, and the Celestial couldn't escape, so they had to get up and go to patrol the village.
Mo Fei hurriedly came to the dungeon and called "Master" softly, the night was too thick, the dungeon was dark, and after a few sounds, a man slowly walked to the dungeon.
Mo Fei saw Yu Ye's pale and haggard face, and felt distressed, "Master, you have suffered. ”
Yu Ye reached out from the fence and touched the top of Mo Fei's head, his eyes overflowing with tenderness, "Don't worry, Master is fine, are you better?" ”
Mo Fei sniffed and nodded to Yu Ye, "Naxi is very good to me, I don't burn anymore after taking the medicine, by the way, Master, I found a way to help them." ”
Mo Fei was about to elaborate, when suddenly a deep voice came from behind him, "What are you doing?" ”
Ledo suddenly appeared in front of the dungeon at some point, his eyes glancing sternly at Naxi and Murphy's faces, "Believe it or not, I'm going to lock you up now?" ”
Naxi was about to reason with Ledo, but he was stopped by a slap in the face.
"Then you can lock me in." Murphy looked at Ledo calmly.
"Murphy, don't mess around, you're just right." Naxi said hurriedly.
"It's okay, Naxi, thank you for taking care of me for the past two days, I won't forget your and Thea's kindness to me." Mo Fei looked at Na Xi sincerely, hugged her in her moving eyes, and took the opportunity to whisper a few words in her ear, Na Xi looked at Mo Fei in surprise, seeing that her eyes were firm, Na Xi nodded hesitantly.
At this time, two guards ran over, and under the order of Ledo, opened the dungeon and locked Mo Fei in, Ledo scolded the guards in front of Naxi, "No one is allowed to leave the dungeon for half a step without my permission, unless it is ordered by the patriarch himself." With that, Ledo glanced at Nashi's flushed face, turned away, and disappeared into the darkness.
"Murphy, you wait for me, I'll bring you something warm, it's cold at night." Naxi returned shortly after leaving, bringing a blanket and some hungry fruit for Murphy, and she took a deep look at the two people who were snuggling up in the dungeon, and then left the dungeon under the watchful eye of the guard.
Yu Ye looked at Mo Fei in front of her who was wearing the costume of the Wu clan, her white and shiny shoulders were exposed from the animal skin, her long hair was scattered and draped over her shoulders, if she didn't look carefully, she really thought it was a girl from the Wu clan, Mo Fei saw the master staring at her like this, her face was crimson, she touched her bare right shoulder helplessly, looked to the side and said, "I said I was going to take a look outside the village, and Naxi dressed me like this, isn't it strange?" ”
"It's a little strange, with a halberd knife in hand, you can scare away jackals, tigers and leopards." Yu Ye said with a smile.
"Master, you make fun of me......" Mo Fei glared at Yu Ye angrily, and hammered Yu Ye's shoulder hard, seeing him frown
, Murphy was shocked.
"Master, are you injured?" Mo Fei anxiously wanted to lean over to look at the wound on Yu Ye's shoulder, but he gently pulled his wrist away.
"It's not a big injury, it's okay, why do you want to come back?" Yu Ye looked at Mo Fei gently, and there was a little helplessness in his tone.
"Because I want to look at the stars here with Master," Murphy said with a smile, opening the blanket and draping one end over her and the other over Yu Ye's body, "so that it won't be cold." ”
Yu Ye chuckled, this eccentric child, he remembered that Fang Cai Mo Fei had already thought of a way, and hurriedly asked her, Mo Fei raised his eyebrows, his eyes flashed with wisdom, and said, "Split mountains and build roads!" ”
"Splitting mountains to build roads?" Yu Ye looked at Mo Fei suspiciously, listening to Mo Fei tell him about her plan in detail, Yu Ye was stunned, and looked at Mo Fei in surprise, he began to feel that this apprentice of his not only had all kinds of whimsical ideas in his head, but also his skills were far beyond his imagination, he was confused, was this really his greedy and sleepy apprentice, why did he feel that he couldn't understand her more and more.
The stars of this night are like jewels on a blue flannel, extraordinarily gorgeous, and the night in the mountains is not as cold as imagined, just because his smile is like a warm spring breeze and like a summer sun, driving away the slightest chill and dragging her into a warm and beautiful dream......
When the sun jumped on the eyelashes, if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, Mo Fei still thought she was dreaming, in the dream the master hugged her, his chest was as majestic as a mountain, and as tender as water, so that she could lean on it with peace of mind, and fall into a deep sleep, never so close to the master, Mo Fei's heart beat faster, when she was in the Coral Palace, she had slept in Zi Chu's arms, but this feeling of a deer crashing was indeed the first time.
When Yu Ye opened his eyes, he saw that the pair of black and white eyes were looking at him, looking at each other, Yu Ye's face was a little unnatural, last night she snuggled up to him in her sleep, he wanted to push her away, but when he touched her cold hand, he pushed away her hand and put it down, she was still a child, he said to himself in his heart.
"Come out!" At this moment, the guards opened the dungeon, shouted, and rudely dragged the two out of the dungeon, Mo Fei and Yuye were escorted by the guards to a circular altar located in the center of the village, which is the place where the Wu people usually worship their ancestors and celebrate important festivals.
The two were tied to the pillar, and all the Wu people in the village gathered one after another, they wanted to see the living sacrifices of these two Celestial Clansmen with their own eyes, Mo Fei saw that their faces showed hateful expressions, it seems that Xiao Se was right, the Wu Clans really hated the Celestial Clan, especially since they had already regarded them as people who poisoned the river water in their hearts.
At this time, Murphy saw Xia in the crowd, Xia's face was covered with tears, and he was still sobbing at the moment, and he went to his grandmother early in the morning and told his grandmother that Murphy's sister was not a bad person, and that grandmother should not sacrifice them to the mountain god, but grandmother not only did not listen to him, but also scolded him that children should not meddle in the affairs of adults, and he could only watch this sacrifice but was powerless to stop it.
At this time, the old patriarch of the Wu clan walked up to the circular altar,
She looked at the two Celestial Clansmen behind her, and then at her people in the audience, her face was heavy, this was a once-in-a-century crisis for the Wu Clan, and it was also a test for her patriarch, she would never allow the Wu Clan to fall in her hands.
The patriarch pestled a cane tied with a strip of colorful cloth in his hand three times on the ground, and all the witches below knelt reverently on the ground and raised their hands above their heads.
The patriarch said loudly to Tamu Mountain, "Dear Mountain God, today we will dedicate the people of the Celestial Clan to you, and the God of Wangshan can return the clean river water to us, and bless the people of the Wu Clan to thrive in Tamu Mountain for generations." ”
After saying that, three wizards wearing red grimace masks jumped out, their upper bodies naked, their lower bodies wrapped around animal skins and grass skirts, dancing around the pillars, and at the same time making a "huha" sound from their mouths, chanting the ancient songs of the witch clan.
Mo Fei ignored these wizards, she closed her eyes, her expression was focused, and she summoned the three-eyed beast that escorted them in her heart, she believed that she could do it, just when the wizard turned to the third circle, the earth shook, the mountains and forests shook, and a flock of birds were startled in the forest, and the witches looked left and right, could it be that the mountain god appeared, and everyone had a frightened expression on their faces.
At that moment, the eyes of one of the people in the crowd fell on a behemoth walking towards them in the distance, and he stumbled and shouted, "Yes...... Mountain God ...... The mountain god is here......"
Everyone else raised their heads and followed the man's gaze, a huge divine beast with three eyes on its head appeared in everyone's sight, and when they saw the divine beast walking straight towards them, all the Wu people turned pale with fright, and fled with their heads in their hands.
The beast stretched out its huge claws and grabbed the patriarch who fell to the ground from the altar, and the Wu people shouted, "Protect the patriarch, come and protect the patriarch", they ran towards the beast with their halberds in hand, but the beast waved its hand, and all the witch people were swept to the ground by a gust of wind.
Seeing that the patriarch was captured, Ledo clenched the halberd knife in his hand, and said to the warriors of the Wu clan, "Those who are not afraid of death will go with me!" ”
Naxi suddenly appeared in front of Ledo, she looked at Ledo and shook her head, "Don't worry, the divine beast was summoned by the Celestial Clan, and it is here to help us!" ”
"You are still obsessed, what did the Celestial Clan tell you to make you believe in them so much!" Ledo was so angry that he pushed Naxi away, and Shia ran over from the crowd and stood in front of Ledo.
"You are not allowed to hurt my sister! You are not allowed to hurt Sister Murphy! Thea struggled to grip a halberd that was half his body taller and looked angrily at Ledo.
Ledo was anxious, the sister and brother were stunned, Naxi grabbed Ledo's arm and looked at him with pleading eyes, "Give me a chance, and give Mo Fei a chance, okay?" ”
Under Naxi's pleading gaze, Ledo's heart softened, and he slowly put down the halberd in his hand and looked at the two Celestials and the monster not far away.
"Let her go." Mo Fei said to the Three-Eyed Beast.
"Woo" The three-eyed beast nodded, and placed the trembling patriarch on the altar.
The patriarch looked at Mo Fei behind him in disbelief, and pointed at Mo Fei, "You recruited the Divine Beast?"
Who are you? ”
"Patriarch, it doesn't matter who I am, the top priority is to save your people, I have a way to make your people not have to migrate, and they can get clean water, if I can help you, in exchange, you will give us holy water, okay?" Murphy's eyes sparkled as he looked at the patriarch.
The patriarch looked at her hesitantly, since this girl can attract divine beasts, maybe she can really help them solve the problem of water sources, she nodded, and the old voice sounded, "Okay, I promise you!" ”
Someone stepped forward to untie the ropes on Mo Fei and Yu Ye, and Mo Fei said to the patriarch, "Take your people out of here, go to a high place, and protect the old man and children!" It may collapse later, so don't be afraid! ”
The patriarch nodded, and conveyed her order to all the witch people, and everyone walked to the small hill next to it, Xia clinged to Naxi's side, looked at the girl sitting on the shoulder of the divine beast, and asked, "Sister, is Sister Mo Fei the person sent by the mountain god to help us?" ”
"I don't know, but I do know that she has a magical power in her, and she will definitely help us through this disaster!" Naxi looked at the girl from afar, a smile on her face.
