Chapter 3 – The Woman Tied to a Poplar Tree

It's such a big poplar tree, even if two people stretch out their arms, they can't wrap it around.

Yun Yi carefully removed the glittering thing from the poplar tree stem, strange? This is just a black "C" shaped bracelet like "Hongshan Culture - the first jade dragon in China", why does it emit a dazzling light like a diamond?

Yun Yi wiped the black stuff on the bracelet with wet wipes. Wow! What a beautiful bracelet, mutton fat white jade, jade delicate, density and hardness are high, "C" line curve is round and graceful, one end of the dragon head is lifelike and powerful, the other end of the pig's head is towering, fangs are exposed, and the spirit is very much, is this a jade pig dragon?

Probably not.

"The Jade Pig Dragon of Hongshan Culture" Yun Yi has seen it in the museum, this bracelet is so beautifully carved and concise should not be a modern thing, Yun Yi carefully wiped the water marks left by the wet tissue paper with his hands, and found that the eyes of the dragon head and the pig's head are four small nests, as if something is missing? And the dragon head and the pig's head are not very similar to the traditional dragon head and pig head, there is a horn on the dragon head that is more like the "hedgehog" in myths and legends, and the pig's head with four teeth exposed is more like the "dangkang" in myths and legends.

The black poplar tree suddenly disappeared, and the same big poplar tree, on the sand dunes not far from Yunyi, was lush and full of vitality, upright, majestic, and there was only this poplar tree in the sand dunes that stretched for thousands of miles, which showed its mystery and solemnity.

A piece of red silk floated from the other end of the tree and landed beside Yun Yi, Yun Yi carefully picked up the piece of red silk that floated in, and looked closely at the red hijab, Yun Yi involuntarily followed the direction it came from.

Yun Yi walked to the poplar tree and saw only a woman tied to the poplar tree. The woman wears a dark silk wedding dress, and the edge of the wedding dress is also inlaid with gold wire; The hair is divided into a long hair, combed back into an auspicious cloud bun, several lacquer hairpins fix the bun, and a golden butterfly is inserted into the bun with a lifelike step; The woman's head was down, a jade eyebrow like a drop of water, hanging motionless in front of her forehead; One look at this outfit knows that the woman was born noble.

It's just that she has a peachwood copper coin sword inserted in her chest, and the sword body is a combination of peachwood sword handles with copper coins wrapped around red ropes.

Blood flowed from the woman's chest, wetting the woman's clothes and staining the dirt beneath her feet, and the woman's head hung lifelessly.

What a poor woman, Yun Yi wanted to untie the rope that bound the woman, but her hand couldn't touch the rope at all, she tried several times to untie the knot; But the hand is like a phantom that glides over the knot, and you can't touch the rope, let alone the knot, how can this be?

Before Yun Yi could react, a group of people in the distance walked towards this place in a majestic manner, and the one who walked in front was a middle-aged man, he wore a feather feather on his head, his face was painted with cinnabar, his eyes were surrounded by black pot smoke and ink, and the tails of his eyes were slightly raised, there was a feeling of not being angry and arrogant, there was no doubt that this was a high priest, and behind him were his disciples, and the disciples were followed by ordinary people, all of whom were wearing ancient clothes.

Why do they wear ancient clothes? Did you see a mirage...... Before Yun Yi could think more, the crowd came to a place about 50 meters away from Yun Yi, and the high priest raised his hand with his back to the crowd and made a "stop" gesture, and the crowd stopped.

The high priest walked towards Hu Yangshu, Yun Yi was afraid that the high priest would see it, so he hid at the other end of Hu Yangshu, and the high priest walked to the woman who was tied to the poplar tree and said, "Not dead yet?" It's really worthy of the blood of the great god of Tushan, but it's a pity that you will die today, look at the people below, they are all your mother and the people you want to protect, but they all want you to die, remember that it was the ignorance of those civilians who forced your mother and you to death. ”

The High Priest let out a few sinister laughs and then walked triumphantly towards the crowd.

The High Priest faced the crowd, his hands outstretched, his whole body shaking as if electricity had passed through him, and his mouth babbled as if he was not knowing what he was reading. The disciples danced the sacrificial dance in a tacit understanding, sometimes with their palms forward, five fingers apart, raised above their heads, feet apart, three steps forward and three steps back; Sometimes he buries his head and shakes his long hair, his hands do an upward push movement, and his feet also have a rhythm of three steps to the left and three steps to the right; His face was sometimes painful and sometimes pleasant.

Yun Yi was in a hurry, this was a conspiracy! The high priest is killing people in the form of sacrifices, she wants to tell everyone not to be deceived by the high priest, Yun Yi rushed to the crowd desperately, she tried hard to push the high priest away, but it was meaningless, her body passed through the high priest's body, and she fell because of excessive force; And the high priest was still shaking in place, Yun Yi went to push the high priest again, but the high priest still didn't move, but Yun Yi had no choice but to yell at the crowd: "Stop, stop, don't be deceived by the high priest!" "Even if she screamed, no one could hear her.

Yun Yi finally understood that she was transparent here, people couldn't feel her and couldn't see her, and she couldn't change everything here, but she still wanted to save the woman, the woman in the wedding dress, the high priest just said that she was not dead, she was going to save her, Yun Yi ran towards the poplar tree without hesitation, she untied the rope and shouted to the woman, but it was all in vain, the rope still couldn't be untied, and the woman couldn't hear her call, let alone feel her existence.

Yun Yi felt desperate and helpless, hot tears welled up from her eyes, and she curled at the woman's feet at a loss.

At that moment, a group of soldiers accompanied an elderly woman and a young man, who, judging by their torn clothes, had been severely punished.

The High Priest stopped his channeling movements and came to the woman's side with a sinister expression, Yun Yi knew that they couldn't see or feel her, so this time Yun Yi didn't hide on the other side of the tree, but stood up and looked directly at the High Priest.

The high priest's sinful hands savagely pinched the woman's neck, and said in his mouth: "Princess, look at it, below are your Mama Jia Luo and General Wei Feng, who are both dedicated to protecting you; but they all died because of you. All the punishments they have suffered are because of you, all those who love you and want to protect you will be killed by me one by one, only when you die, I am the only king here, your stupid father is now on the road, you can also go on the road with peace of mind.! ”

The woman's lifeless head was slowly lifted with difficulty, Yun Yi finally saw the woman's face, the woman's face was exactly the same as Yun Yi's, at this moment Yun Yi couldn't suppress the acceleration of her heartbeat, and it became difficult to breathe.

The woman finally spoke, her lips like a parched and cracked earth, and with every word she spoke, blood gushed out of the cracks: "High priest, you said that as long as I die, you will spare everyone, and you have broken your word." ”

The high priest looked at the woman with contempt, and an evil smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he turned to the crowd and said to everyone: "Our princess has long since died, the river god does not want this false bride, we have angered the river god, the river god took our child, and today only by burning her can the river god's anger be appeased." ”

The high priest turned to the woman again and said triumphantly, "What about breaking your word, you will die soon!" ”

The high priest set fire to the wood at the woman's feet with his own hands.

...... burn her, burn her, burn her, the crowd began to boil.

The fire began to burn under the poplar trees.
