Chapter 160: The Living Sacrifice
The further I went, the darker it became, and my heart was now much calmer than before, at least the paper talisman on my body hadn't been searched out, and they probably didn't know what it was.
But I still don't know why they arrested me, did I do something wrong?
I'm just the existence of the son who will be sacrificed in place of Uncle Liu, but ...... Where exactly is Peng Zhe? Is he okay? Do you know what I'm going through right now?
But I didn't have any contact information on me, so I could only walk forward silently...... There is no head in sight at all.
Knowing Suosuo β
As I walked forward, I suddenly heard a sound behind me, but my nerves seemed to be weaker than before, and it took me a few seconds to react.
When I looked back, I didn't see anything, and the sound of Suosuo seemed to be still around, and I suddenly had a bad premonition in my heart.
In this woods...... Isn't there any dangerous animal?! I was horrified, and I quickly pretended to be nothing.
However, the sound of Suo Suo did not seem to have decreased, and the bad premonition in my heart rose up, and my pace gradually increased.
I still have a fever, but I ...... Now my mind is clear.
Bang β
But it didn't last long, and I tripped over something I didn't know what it was, and then I smelled a foul smell!
Horrified, I quickly got up from the ground and slowly retreated......
But...... When I stepped back, I didn't know what was on my back, but I felt a wet feeling suddenly appear behind me......
I was so frightened that I was stunned, and slowly turned aroundβ
A pair of yellow eyes...... At this time, he was staring at me coldly......
I was so frightened that my heart skipped a beat, and I quickly took a few steps back! I saw a lion behind me, opening its bloody mouth and pounced on me!
I subconsciously ran, but how could I run faster than a lion all the time! I could only run forward with all my might, but ...... The lion seemed to be getting closer and closer behind me......
I'm going crazy, but ......
Suddenly, the smell of the lion suddenly disappeared, and the voice behind him disappeared in an instant.
I ran forward and looked back slightly, only to see that the lion had disappeared at some point......
What the hell is going on!? I stopped in a daze, and there was nothing around me, which stumped me...... Crossed?!
A completely strange idea suddenly came to my head, but it couldn't be, I'm still here......
Syllable! At this moment, a hand suddenly slapped my shoulder, and I was suddenly frightened, and my whole body couldn't help but tremble!
"Are you alright?" But before I could turn around, I heard a familiar voice coming from behind me! I was shocked, and immediately turned aroundβ
Peng Zhe...... I saw Peng Zhe standing behind me at this time, looking at me worriedly!
I suddenly had some unreal feeling in my heart, this ...... Could it be my hallucinations again?
"What's wrong with you? You won't be spooked, will you? But Peng Zhe patted me on the shoulder again, and the touch ......
I looked at him in a daze, and suddenly there was an emotion called surprise in my heart......
"You're here to save me?" I asked with a hard swallow of my spit.
"Yes, I'm not here to save you, or you're probably going to be eaten by a lion." Peng Zhe patted me on the shoulder in amusement.
β¦β¦
When I was finally sure that I was saved, my emotions slowly calmed down, and I gradually recovered after eating the food he gave me.
"Did you receive something...... Mistreat? Peng Zhe suddenly looked at me seriously.
I was slightly stunned, then nodded hesitantly, actually...... It's similar to the scene in the TV series, but I don't know how hard it is when it's really used on me.
But fortunately, I've persevered, except for some tiredness, everything else is fine.
"I knew that uncle was not a good person!" Peng Zhe shouted angrily and stood up from the ground at once.
"You know what? I didn't think something was right when he looked at us, and when he asked us why we wanted to go to G Village, I thought something was wrong. β
I looked at him stunned, and he then went on to explain: "Then I interrupted you, and I could see that he was thinking about it, but ...... He still did it to us. β
I looked at him puzzled.
"Why did you attack us?"
"You may not know yet, this Yigui village and what we are looking for...... G Village is an old enemy, so ......" He didn't continue, but I had already stepped on the result of the back.
So I was unfortunately used as a spy, and I happened to meet the sacrifice of Yigui Village, so I was used by Uncle Liu in exchange for my own son to let me replace me.
"But how did you know I was here!?"
"Because I found the people in Village G and asked about the situation, you are the object of the living sacrifice, so logically speaking, in addition to being bathed, it is this dark bath, and if you count it according to the number of days, you should be here."
Peng Zhe explained, but I felt ...... It's getting more and more terrible, and they treat the living sacrifices like this...... Is there a sense of ceremony?
I couldn't help but shiver a little, I don't know if it was cold or scared......
But......
"Don't think about it yet, now that you're safe, the people in their village may not know that there is already a path found by Village G to get out." Peng Zhe comforted me, "That's where I came in." β
I nodded, but my heart gradually relaxed, and now that at least someone I know is around, and I'll be much better.
When I came out of there, I felt a lot more refreshed, at least not that eerie feeling.
"If you can stay alive for the next few days, then you are really a qualified sacrifice." Peng Zhe sighed helplessly, "They are only interested in qualified sacrifices, Uncle Liu's son doesn't seem to have made this step before, and your appearance has allowed him to avoid these punishments." β
"But what are we going to do now? If they knew I wasn't ...... anymore" I was a little nervous, would they come looking for me?
"Don't worry, they will only think that you have been eaten by the beasts inside and will not look for you, and then ...... We've got a good show. Peng Zhe winked at me, I didn't understand what it meant.
But I don't bother to bother with these things now, and now I'm at least in a safe place...... The point is that Peng Zhe has found the person we are looking for.
The person that Teacher Su Yi told me......
But I didn't expect her to be a fairly young woman, although I thought it might be a woman before, after all, this kind of thing is only a Miao girl, but I always thought it was an old lady or something......
I didn't expect it to be a fairly young woman, who looked to be in her thirties at most.
"She knew that Teacher Su Yi asked us to come, and they seemed to know each other." Peng Zhe said in my ear, and I nodded.
Although this woman doesn't look so terrifying, she is a woman who can sprout Gu...... I'm still a little nervous.
Some people can help you, but they can also harm you, especially this kind of ......
Someone who can play tricks.
"This bug has already killed a person, and now I ...... too" I don't know how to explain it, it already has Toshiming's blood and life on it, and I am ......
"I know, is that person dead?" She said lightly, and poured out the worm from the pen and put it in a container, which looked very calm.
I was scared to death when I saw this centipede, but she ...... But come to think of it, she has seen a lot after all.
"Well, when I went to his funeral some time ago, another person gave it to me, and that's it...... Toshiaki said he wanted his life. β
"Toshiaki? How did he tell you? She looked up suddenly.
I was stunned, I didn't know how to explain, could I say that I had seen his soul?
"Did you see something you shouldn't see?" She seemed to know what I was thinking, and I nodded.
"The yin qi on your body is too heavy, so it's normal to be able to see some things that ordinary people can't see, but I advise you not to touch this kind of thing, if you still want to live." She said.
A stir suddenly stirred in my heart, could this mean that my life is short!?
"It's ......"
"Since you and Su Yi know each other, I also have something to say, although you have life-saving things on you, but you always come into contact with things that are not in this world, sooner or later you will regret it one day." She looked at me lightly and said.
I didn't know what to say for a moment, but she said ...... It seems that everything is reasonable, and I can't even refute it.
It's not like Master didn't say it before, but I always thought He could protect me......
But now I realize how stupid I was.
But that's not something I can decide...... I didn't want to see these things, but they didn't let go as if they were entangled in me......
"Don't give away what you have with you, not even your hair." She then said, "You were tricked like this because of one of your hairs. β
As she spoke, she took a hair out of the jar, and I knew it was my own.
Because my hair has always been this malnourished yellow and fine......
But it was already sticky, and I carefully took it, but I smelled a strange smell on it.
I saw that she put the jar in a box, and then she didn't know what she was silently reading, but the box suddenly trembled violently!
I was taken aback and quickly took a step back! It took about a minute or so for the box to fall silent.
When it had stopped moving, the woman took out the jar inside......
Then I saw a piercing red...... Filled with the whole jar......
Is it ...... Blood? I swallowed hard and didn't dare to come closer......
"It's okay now, it's dead, and you've lost contact with it." She said lightly, casually setting the jar aside, and then handed me something like a mamori.
I took it in a daze, and then she explained: "This is to save your life, since Su Yi has asked me so much, I know that your relationship is not ordinary, so I will give you one more thing." β
I nodded, and although I didn't know what it was, I decided to trust her for once......
"Can you give me one?" Peng Zhe suddenly asked with a smile, and after the woman looked at him coldly, she threw one to him casually.
Watch the two of them interact...... I suddenly had some doubts in my mind...... What happened in my absence?
But when I asked Peng Zhe, he said that he had known each other for two more days, and his shamelessness and skinlessness led him, so now he is half an acquaintance.
But...... I always think it's weird there.
Most of the women in this village are basically good at Gu arts, but this woman is a relatively powerful one, but I don't know how she met Teacher Su Yi.
Therefore, there is nothing strange about our arrival in the village, and occasionally someone does come to find someone to spend money on Gu.
It's just that there are fewer people like us.
"By the way, do you remember the good show I told you earlier?" Peng Zhe suddenly slapped my shoulder and asked.
