Chapter 44: Disrespecting the Wolf God

The two slowly walked towards the city gate. Two soldiers in silver armor at the gates. Holding a bright white blade in his hand. Look at them warily. There was a thick killing intent in his eyes. The two of them looked up and down.

"Who's coming?" The low voice was distinctly hostile.

"We are the people of the Sarul people. Visiting relatives in the ancient city of Yema." The moon eagle said matter-of-factly. The Salur people are the mother clan of Zhuo Jinxuan. If this is Zhuo Jinxuan's territory. Then it would not be wrong to say that the Salurs are of Sarul.

Hostile gazes from all sides around. Instantly a lot weaker. The soldier even laughed: "It's not been peaceful in the city lately. The lord of the castle commanded. The ancient city of Yema can only be entered but not exited now. You can't leave for a while when you come in."

Moon Eagle and Yan Ran glanced at each other. What the hell is going on here. Is this the reason why Zhuo Jinxuan left in a hurry?

……

The two of them had a satisfying meal. It's still early. Yan Ran is going to walk around. Familiarize yourself with the environment. Of course she wanted to see it the most. It's the so-called temple.

The two strolled through the bustling streets. Every Vietnamese person who passed by his side. There was a nervous emotion on his face. Yan Ran and Moon Eagle glanced at each other. Sure enough, something happened here.

"Miss Yan Ran. I don't think this ancient city of Yema is a little strange." Moon Eagle muttered.

Yan Ran gave him a blank look. And didn't say anything. Then we walked to the so-called temple.

"Dodge, dodge." Suddenly. There was a commotion ahead. A group dressed in silver armor. Burly soldiers. It's pushing through the bustling crowd. The fierce god roared viciously.

The crowd is slightly crowded. Yan Ran and Moon Eagle glanced at each other. Follow the crowd back to the side of the road. Frowning and looking.

I saw the rear of this group of soldiers. A prisoner van escorted several men and women slowly. Those men and women were old and young. Dressed in silk and satin. But. but in tatters. Covered in blood. With the jolt of the prisoner car. The blood on their bodies also dripped all the way down the wooden planks of the prisoner cart to the ground. All the way. There was a bloody streak on the ground. It's especially scary to look at.

But. None of the surrounding people sympathized with them. The faces of these people. What emerges is disgust, hatred, contempt.

"Hmph. Deserve. The wolf god Tengri blessed them with abundant food and clothing. But they have no respect for the wolf god. He deserves retribution."

"That's it. They are simply ungrateful. If there is no wolf god Tengri. They can live in such a big house. There can be so much gold and silver. Hum. The wolf god favored them so much. How dare they be disrespectful to the wolf god. This kind of person deserves a thousand cuts."

"yes, yes. Burning at the stake is just too cheap for them."

……

Yan Ran from these few words. Vaguely pieced together the whole thing. It turns out that this Vietnamese is a merchant. Not herdsmen. Over the years. Doing business has accumulated a lot of wealth. In the ancient city of Yema. He is also considered a rich man. But. Not long ago. The family's daughter-in-law successfully conceived a child. So he went to the temple of the wolf god to worship. I want to know if I am pregnant with a boy or a girl. Outcome. But the daughter-in-law was worshipping there. Accidentally knocked over the altar.

This time it's incredible. Believers say that their home does not respect the wolf god. Ill-intentioned. Thereupon. It was taken down by the people of the temple. Now. This family. Together with the pregnant daughter-in-law. They will all be burned at the stake.

Countless spit spat came out of the mouths of the onlookers. Green vegetables and eggs are used as weapons. Ruthlessly thrown into the prisoner cart. The people wantonly vented their anger in their hearts. insulting this family. The crowd is outraged.

Yan Ran was frightened. But. There was not the slightest expression on his face. It's just that the degree of worship of the wolf god by these Yue people greatly exceeded her expectations.

"Let's go." Yan Ran pulled the shocked moon carving. Back to the inn. The two were amazed to find out. When I left. Also full place. At this moment, even the shopkeeper has disappeared. Only the lobby remains. Placed on the table. The remaining dishes that have not been eaten yet.

Yan Ran sighed. But it's already clear. Those people must have gone to see the excitement. Family. Executed at the stake. How could these people not look at it.

Night. The inn was still empty. Even the streets. There is no one either. It's in the direction of the Wolf Temple. There was a cacophony of voices staggered. The flames are blazing. The deep blue night sky is lit up red. It's like it's going to drip blood.

Yan Ran stood in front of the window. Look in the direction of the Wolf Temple. Eyes narrowed dangerously. The look under the eyes is unknown.

A knock sounded at the door. The hoarse voice of the moon carving sounded outside: "Yan Ran girl."

"Come in." Yan Ran's voice was soft and cold. Without a hint of emotion.

The moon eagle walks in. I saw Yan Ran standing in front of the window. Look in the direction of the Wolf Temple.

"Miss Yan Ran. If you want to see it. We can go check it out, too." The moon eagle walked up to her. Also look in the direction of the Wolf Temple.

Yan Ran turned his head to look at him. You want to see it."

The moon eagle scratched its head noncommittally. Truly. He wanted to see it." Check it out. Maybe you'll get something out of it. After all, the place where the burning was held was the square in front of the Wolf Temple."

Yan Ran thought for a moment. It's fine." The voice fell. The figure is gone.

The moon eagle was stunned for a moment. Soon chased out.

Yan Ran landed on top of a private house closest to the square. Looking at the crowded square in front of you. Yan Ran's eyes flashed.

In front of the majestic Wolf Temple. This square is the size of a football field. The square is surrounded by huge copper tripods. The flames are burning in the copper dome. The copper tripod is carved with the totem of the wolf god Tengger.

The east side of the square. Erecting a wooden shelf. On the wooden shelves were tied the family they had seen during the day. There were five men and women. Three men and two women. Five people were covered in wounds. The blood is still dripping. Even in the face of such a life and death scenario. There was not the slightest hint of fear on their faces. Rather, it's a color of relief.

"Burn them. Burn them."

"Anyone who doesn't respect the wolf god Tengger deserves death. Burn them."

Boisterous crowd. Loud noises. Their eyes glistened with repulsion that bordered on hatred. Furious on the edge of madness.

Such a picture. To Yan Ran. It didn't make her feel the slightest bit moved. For fanatical believers. Anything crazy is done. Even in modern times. There are also crazy believers who burn infidels at the stake. Not to mention here.

"Do they want to burn the living? That woman is still pregnant. Is this going to kill two people?" The moon eagle's face was full of disbelief. Although it has long been known that the people here worship the wolf god. But. Worship to this extent. It was really unexpected.

It just knocked over the altar. The whole family had to be burned at the stake. People here. It's horrible.

Yan Ran glanced at the moon carving. See him indignant. Cool reminded: "Moon Eagle. Just look at it. Don't act rashly."

The moon eagle is depressed. Before coming here. He also reminded Yan Ran not to act rashly. At this time, she actually reminded him not to act rashly.

Yan Ran didn't care what the moon eagle would think of her. It's okay to think she's cold-blooded. Cruelty or not. Although the plight of this family is sympathetic. But. They can't take care of it, can they? There are only two people between her and the moon eagle. It's impossible to save this family.

Moreover. She's here to get the antidote to her cuteness. This family has no relatives and no reason for her. She wouldn't scare them to save them. And it completely harmed her cuteness.

"Miss Yan Ran. I'll go down and take a look. I promise I won't come back." After the moon eagle finished speaking. Falling from the eaves. Quietly burrow into the crowd.

At this time. One of the young men on the wooden shelf woke up. Look at the excited crowd below. Watching a bear burn a torch. The man screamed hoarsely. If you want to burn me, burn me. Please. My parents and brother are innocent. My wife is pregnant. You can bypass them this time. Burn me. Burn me." The man's pleas for mercy drowned out everyone's voices. The crowd fell eerily silent.

Yan Ran, who was standing on the roof, looked at the young man. See the look of despair on his face. Looking at the parents and brothers beside me. Looking at my pregnant wife. I don't know how. The man's desperate eyes made Yan Ran's heart suddenly sour. Somewhere seems to have been touched.

This man. He loves his wife very much.

"No. If you want to burn me, burn me. It was I who accidentally knocked over the altar. It's me who is sorry for the wolf god. My father-in-law's family is innocent. If you want to burn me, burn me. Leave my father-in-law's family alone. It's all my fault. Please." The young woman beside the young man, who had been holding her eyes closed, suddenly opened her eyes. Crying and pleading.

The husband and wife leaned their heads together and cried lowly. Pleading. But. The people below are after a short silence. Soon they were shouting again." You are all sinners. No one can get away with it. Disrespectful to the wolf god. Only death can be used to apologize."

Then. The noise of the crowd rose again. The begging for mercy of the young couple was drowned.

Yan Ran suddenly felt pantothenic acid in his eyes. What a happy family they should have been. Now it's for such a ridiculous reason. and shall be put to death in their entirety.

"Miss Yan Ran. We really don't care." The moon eagle didn't know when it would return to her. Watch everything that is happening in the square. I can't bear it. He only felt that he had a fire in his heart. It's burning. Just a word. He did it right away. Rescue this family.

Yan Ran's eyes are deep. Like a dry well. I don't see any emotion." Moon Eagle. You are giving me a choice. It's the choice to save this family. Or save my cuteness. What do you think I should choose?"

Yan Ran threw the question back to the moon eagle.

The moon eagle was stunned for a moment. If it's him. How he chooses. He......

Is it okay to choose both?
