Chapter 289: Walking in the Yin and Encountering the Priestess
Lingzheng didn't pay any more attention to me, nor did he take care of Yiyi in the open-air fence, his expression was faint, as if it was none of his business. I shook my head, shaking off what I had just guessed, I can't mess with myself, let's wait and see if Lingzheng wants to save one by one.
The village chief began to assign the villagers to perform the ritual of immortal sacrifice.
The villagers tore Yiyi's clothes, held the basin, picked up the water in the basin with their hands and sprinkled it on Yiyi's body and face, and Yiyi did not resist, and watched quietly ahead. Shen Yan and Jin Shiyi whispered something, I was following behind Lingzheng, and I was a little far away from Shen Yan and them, so I couldn't hear it clearly.
After the villagers finished sprinkling the water, several other villagers brought three large boxes.
Put three large boxes into the open enclosure, open the big boxes, and out of it came three big wiggy dogs. Jade Dragon explained to me that this dog was specially raised for the immortal sacrifice, and that they would only eat once a week, and that the last meal was to eat this one by one.
While I was still digesting the Jade Dragon's words, the three fierce dogs who had been hungry for a week rushed to Yiyi, bit Yiyi to death, and then spit out her flesh and bones. Soon, the three hungry dogs ate them one by one, but before they could eat enough, they tore each other apart. Until finally, there was only one ferocious dog left in the entire enclosure.
The ferocious dog didn't seem to have had enough to eat, and howled like a wolf.
At this time, the village chief sent a few stout men to catch the fierce dog, throw it alive into the boiling oil pot that had been prepared, and quickly cover it with a wooden lid. I only heard the fierce dog screaming desperately in the oil pot, and after a while, all the sounds were silenced...... The village chief asked the wooden lid to be opened, and the dog had been boiled to death in oil, and the skin and flesh had become very brittle, and several people kept playing with the dog's corpse with thick sticks.
After burning for about an hour, the oil in the pan gradually decreased, and the corpse of the fierce dog had become hard and tied.
Everyone worked together to scoop up the carcass of the fierce dog, put it on a large stone on the side, beat it vigorously, and beat it into many pieces of meat, and then threw these pieces of meat into a stone mill on the side, and slowly crushed them into a fine powder.
I watched this immortal sacrifice speechless in horror, and I didn't make any moves, not even ...... When the three fierce dogs went to bite one by one just now, I didn't even think to stop them.
It's too late!
Right! It's too late...... I didn't have time to think about whether to save Yiyi, Yiyi had already been eaten by the fierce dog.
I shuddered and turned my head to look at Lingzheng.
Lingzheng still looked like an indifferent immortal, and he didn't care about life or death at all.
The thick smell of blood wafted in the air, mixed with the smell of dog meat being fried and crispy, producing a very strange smell, and I couldn't help but squat on the ground and vomit. After vomiting, my body was better, I just wanted to stand up, and suddenly a hand was put on my shoulder, and my whole body stiffened. I hurriedly changed my smiley face, stood up, and turned around: "Hehe...... I'm sorry, I'm pregnant and I want to throw up...... Yes? β
When I saw clearly that it was Lingzheng standing behind me, I forced the second half of the sentence into my stomach.
"Spirit, Spirit...... "When did he notice me?"
Ling was looking at me, and a hint of anxiety flashed in his deep eyes: "Are you pregnant?" β
...... "I was talking nonsense, Lingzheng suddenly asked, how do I answer him?"
"Speak."
I twitched the corners of my mouth in embarrassment: "No, no." β
"Oh." Lingzheng put his hands behind his back, turned away, and continued to watch the immortal sacrifice.
I leaned up to him: "That...... What's that on your face? β
Lingzheng glanced at me with a little meaning: "When I heard you say that I was pregnant, I was a little scared and a little happy; I was disappointed to hear you say that you weren't pregnant, but I was also very happy. β
I was dumbfounded.
What the hell is this?
Lingzheng smiled faintly at me and stopped talking.
I beat the drum in my heart, and I kept pondering Lingzheng's words: I was a little scared and a little happy when I heard you say that I was pregnant; I was disappointed to hear you say that you weren't pregnant, but I was also very happy. ββAfter thinking about it for a long time, I finally figured it out, and it turned out that Lingzheng meant this. When he heard the news that I was pregnant, he was very scared, he thought I was pregnant with someone else's child, but he was a little happy, he should have been a little glad that I was pregnant with his child; After that, I said that I was not pregnant, Lingzheng was a little disappointed, he thought that I was not pregnant with his child, but at the same time he was very happy, he should think that I was not pregnant with someone else's child, so he was happy.
It's a bit complicated to depict in words, but to put it bluntly, it's an ambivalence.
This ambivalence is a sign that the spirit is beginning to feel for me. Even though Lingzheng hasn't fully remembered our affairs yet, his heart has slowly awakened.
When I figured out what happened, my mood suddenly brightened.
The immortal sacrifice had been held, and the corpses in the fence were carried by the villagers and put into a cave at the top of the mountain. The jade dragon said that the cave is called the Immortal Cave, and I want to go with it to see it, but the village chief stopped him with a cold face, saying that only the sacrificial people can enter the Immortal Cave, and the idle people are not allowed to enter. I nodded hurriedly and said yes. I don't dare to offend the village chief of Yuhuan Village, in case something happens, I am not sure how to protect myself.
The villagers were each given a small piece of the meat of the ferocious dog and went back happily.
Shen Yan said that she was sleepy, and Jin Shiyi hugged Shen Yan without saying a word and rushed down the mountain, very quickly, and left us in an instant.
As soon as they left, Yu Jiuwu came running, talking around Lingzheng, I asked her why she didn't see her when she was sacrificing just now, she said that her father was a sacrificer, and she had to prepare something to help a little. After saying a few words to me, she pestered Lingzheng again, my heart was sour, and I couldn't get angry, so I grabbed Lingzheng's hand and walked down the mountain, Yu Jiuwu kept saying that I was shameless, and no one agreed to marry me, so I had a skin-to-skin relationship with others. I cheekily said yes, yes, I just want to cook raw rice and then talk about it, how about it? Do you have an opinion?
Yu Jiuyu pouted and said, "Of course I have opinions, not only I have opinions, but my brother also has opinions!" β
Lingzheng?
My hands shook, not daring to look at Lingzheng's face.
Lingzheng is as cold as an iceberg now, and I just grabbed his hand like this, so that he might kill me.
I was gritting my teeth and trying to find a step for myself to climb down, when Lingzheng's voice suddenly came into my ears: "I have no opinion, let's go." I was shocked, and when I looked up, Lingzheng had turned around and strode down the mountain, my hand still holding him tightly, and I was carried by his strength, and I walked down the mountain involuntarily.
Yu Jiuwu was so angry that he scolded me for being an ugly monster, and I ignored her, and I was happy for Lingzheng's actions.
Back at Yulong's house, Jin Shiyi had already carried Shen Yan back to the room to rest, Yulong's face was not very good-looking, I talked to him, he didn't pay much attention to me, said a few words casually, and went back to his own room, and slammed the door. Yu Jiuwu didn't give me a good look, and she lost her temper at me, as if I owed her eight lifetimes in debt, but I didn't care, who made me feel good.
No matter what Yu Jiuwu said to me, I looked at her with a smile, and she finally felt bored and left on her own.
I looked at Yu Jiuwu's back and smiled from ear to ear.
It's too easy to win.
"Can you let it go?"
Suddenly, Lingzheng's arrogant and indifferent voice came.
I was startled and hurriedly let go of his hand: "Hehe...... That, I'm sorry, I'm used to it, and I forgot to put it. β
"Hmm."
Lingzheng hummed and walked away without looking back.
I touched my nose, and my fingertips still had the special fragrance on Lingzheng's body, which was reassuring.
I went back to my room, washed briefly, and lay down, and before long, I saw the woman who had been killed by three fierce dogs push open my door one by one. She was undressed, and her smooth and fair skin was particularly moving against the background of the moonlight. She walked slowly towards me and knelt beside the bed: "Please go to the Yin Maiden for help." I looked at her suspiciously, and she repeated, "Please go away and save your life." β
I wasn't afraid, and said to her: "I inquired, and the village chief said that you are sick and won't live for a few days, so you volunteered to make sacrifices, why do you need someone to save you?" β
One by one: "No, it's not like this......"
Then, they told me some things that I didn't know. It turns out that this is not the so-called no outsiders have ever come in at all, every year, there will be a group of "accidental entrants" who break into Yuhuan Village, which is artificially arranged, for the women among these "accidental entrants".
The people in Yuhuan Village first used medicine to stun the foreign men, and then took the women away and performed immortal sacrifices on the women.
After the sacrifice is completed, the man is sent out of Yuhuan Village.
Moreover, a special medicine was used to confuse the man's memory, making the man look like he had a dream, just like the Wuling people in the Peach Blossom Spring, they could no longer find where Yuhuan Village was, and the corpse of the woman who was with them would appear next to them, making them mistakenly think that they had broken into the forest, and the woman was bitten to death by the evil beasts in the forest.
When I heard this, I was horrified.
Originally, I thought that this immortal sacrifice was the custom of Yuhuan Village, but I didn't expect it to be such a deception to achieve their goals. It is terrible that a seemingly isolated village hides such an abominable evil intention.
I said to Yiyi, "Then how do you want me to help you?" β
They bowed to me three times one by one and said, "Early tomorrow morning, the village chief will send someone to transport my body out of Yuhuan Village, but my soul is still trapped in the Immortal Cave. β
Oh...... This matter, if the spirit is going out, it is not difficult, but now I am afraid that it will not work with my own strength. Whether it's a good idea or not is still a question. But ah, since this matter has happened to me, I have to take care of it.
"Okay, I promise you, I'll do my best to save your soul." I said to one by one, "However, I can't guarantee whether I can be rescued or not." β
One by one said to me with tears in her eyes, "Thank you, Lord Yin." β
I replied, "You're welcome. β
One by one, they kowtowed to me again, and then disappeared in place.
I shuddered, came to my senses, and found that the door had not been opened, and there was no shadow of the room. But I know that Yiyi has really been here, I didn't have a dream just now, but I went on a trip to Yin, which is also the difference between the Yin Sect and other sects.
I thought that since I had promised Yiyi, I would go to the Immortal Cave as soon as possible.
I got dressed and got up, went to the next door and knocked on Lingzheng's door: "Lingzheng, have you slept?" β
"Nope." The door was opened in the next second.
I was a little surprised at how quickly Ling Zheng opened the door, "Why haven't you slept yet?" β
"Hmm." Lingzheng frowned: "Something?" β
I was stunned and said, "Oh...... That's the case, the girl who was bitten to death by the fierce dog today, she came to me, she wanted me to take her soul out of the immortal cave, I was a little scared to go alone, can you go with me? β
