Chapter Twenty-Four: Sacrifices? God?
When Xiao Yao woke up, she found that she seemed to be wearing a piece of clothing all over her body, lying on a stone altar, surrounded by people, almost a few hundred people!
Xiao Yao couldn't move at this time, and could only speculate about the fate she was about to face.
At this time, the strange woman in front of her, who was called Wizard Xu, didn't know what she was muttering in her mouth, and the clothes on her body were even more strange and peculiar.
Then I saw the woman lift the chicken in her hand, and then cut the rooster's neck with a knife, and poured the blood on the rooster's face on Xiao Yao's face, the smell of blood made it difficult for Xiao Yao to contain the earth-shaking nausea in her stomach.
Then, two sturdy men fixed Xiao Yao on the almost suspended fire altar with Xiao Yao's strength that was difficult to resist, and then, the hundreds of people began to sing strange ballads and dance strange dances around the fire altar.
In the end, Xu Wuxian was surrounded by everyone, holding a torch in his hand, and began to light the firewood stacked under Xiao Yao's altar, and the firewood immediately ignited a raging flame, Xiao Yao was surrounded by a large red flame at this time.
Through the flames, Xiao Yao looked at the faces of those villagers who had become extremely hideous and deformed in the firelight, and suddenly unconsciously showed a smile, perhaps despising the deep-rooted ugliness of this superstitious thought in this group of people, or laughing at himself for being ended by this group of stupid people who had just begun to shine brightly.
However, perhaps the deep-seated superstitions of these people will find mysterious and strange for something that may be normal.
When Xiao Yao stood calmly in the raging flames, it suddenly and unexpectedly poured rain in the sky, and when the nectar from the sky directly extinguished the burning flames, the villagers who were originally full of hideous and murderous faces had already replaced their faces with an extremely lofty worship and pious attitude.
At that moment, in their eyes, it may have been just a sacrifice to the so-called god in their minds, but at this moment it has become the most noble god in everyone's minds, and those devout believers, regardless of the hysteria of the Xu Wuxian he had been worshipping, all gathered around the fire at Xiao Yao's feet, and rushed to save Xiao Yao in mid-air.
Then a large group of people surrounded him and sent Xiao Yao to the village chief's house at a speed that could be described as fast running, and countless people took out big fish and meat from their homes that they had been reluctant to eat, and competed to offer them to Xiao Yao.
At this moment, Xiao Yao is the god in their minds, and Xu Wuxian, who was originally worshipped in every way, has fallen into a sinner who has turned his back on God and spurned by thousands of people.
……
"What do you mean by that the villagers of Mochizuki Town are all controlled by an unwilling mad woman who was abducted by a beautiful woman because of her husband, and every year there are several beautiful and young women who will be directly brutally sacrificed by those people?" After listening to the tomb robber's account, Officer Huang's face was gloomy.
Although such a thing seems to be extremely absurd and ridiculous, in this kind of world, which may have been isolated from the world for a long time, and it can be completely seen that people who have been displaced from modern civilization have built, it may indeed be a normal thing to do.
In that case, if Xiao Yao and Qingqing fell into the hands of those people, I am afraid that they would already be more than lucky!
Thinking of this, Shen Yan couldn't calm down anymore, and picked up the strange man who looked extremely thin on the side, and asked him to lead the way immediately, he wanted to save the woman he cared about the most now.
……
Under the leadership of that lewd man, Shen Yan and the others went through countless turns, and finally came to an ancient town that looked a little dilapidated with the four big characters "Mochizuki Ancient Town" standing in front of them.
At this time, there is a little drizzle floating in the sky, and the vision in front of you seems relatively blurry, but in this rainy season in the south of the Yangtze River, these scenery will always give people another beauty.
However, at this time, Shen Yan and his group definitely did not have the leisure to enjoy the scenery, because they were very worried about the safety of Xiao Yao and Qingqing at this time.
At this moment, Shen Yan suddenly saw an old woman standing under the plaque of several big characters in Mochizuki Ancient Town, with tattered clothes and countless traces on her face left by the years, but she did not have the very kind temperament of other old women, but faintly revealed an evil aura, or an evil aura that made people instinctively repel, but the most numb thing was that Shen Yan obviously felt that the old woman's eyes were firmly locked on him, And that kind of gaze faintly reveals a kind of excitement that seems to be the hunter to see that the prey he has been waiting for for a long time finally appears.
Shen Yan frowned unhappily, coupled with the fact that he was worried about Xiao Yao's irritability at this time, he couldn't maintain the good gentlemanly demeanor he had always maintained, and he asked dissatisfiedly: "Old woman, what are you looking at!" I've never seen anyone, have I? ”
Shu Nuo stayed with him for so long, and for the first time he saw Shen Yan's loss of control, the shock in his heart was definitely not something that could be described in any words, and because of his loss of control, everyone's eyes were locked on the old woman who was full of evil spirits.
And the lewd man secretly leaned over and whispered in Shen Yan's ear after being shocked: "This old immortal is that neurotic, and many flower girls were killed by her." ”
At this time, Shen Yan looked at the old woman with hatred in his eyes: "Say, where did you get Xiao Yao and Qingqing!" ”
"Xiao Yao? Qingqing? Who are you talking about, I don't know, but there was a very beautiful little girl who came here last night, but don't worry, she's very good now, and we're still very well entertained, or if you come with me, I'll take you to her? ”
The old woman's voice was very sharp, but hearing that Xiao Yao was so safe, Shen Yan breathed a sigh of relief, although she was still wary of this woman who might be mentally ill, but she said that if she could take us to see Xiao Yao, then follow along, she is an old woman, there are so many of us here, there should be no unpredictable things.
So Shen Yan and the others glanced at each other, nodded, and began to follow the old woman towards some unknown location.
But the strange thing was that the obscene tomb robber actually followed Shen Yan and them.
Receiving Shu Nuo's strange eyes, the man quietly leaned over and whispered in Shu Nuo's ear: "I heard that there is a national treasure-level treasure in Mochizuki Ancient Town, if you can get it, you will immediately become a billionaire, for thousands of years, my master and they have been looking for it, but they have never had a chance to enter this ancient town Every time the old woman found out and drove out, today it is rare for me to be able to enter Mochizuki Ancient Town, I will definitely not miss this opportunity, don't worry, I will not affect you." ”
