Chapter 138: A New Beginning
"O God of the Almighty, hear our prayers!"
"O beautiful girl like a pearl, you are our pride!"
A low singing voice sounded from above her head, and Xian Yue'er's face flushed with excitement, and she shouted loudly: "It's the clansmen, they haven't left yet!"
"False gods will eventually see true believers!" Ye Xu heard her say this, his heart was both apprehensive and curious, and he took a long breath, trying to calm his mind down.
The benches slowly pierced through the black fog, and although the sky was overcast, the light rain did not stop. But after all, it was still much brighter than in the cave, as soon as he touched the skylight, Ye Xu's eyes were stabbed, and he only heard screams one after another and a loud cry in the chaos: "Don't be afraid, everyone! Listen to me! Lord God is back with me!"
The blur in front of him slowly became clear, on a long dark green stone platform, a corpse with a severed head was lying flat on it, a large amount of blood was poured into the mountain rock along the stone platform, and the bloody breath came to his face, making Ye Xu feel sick to his stomach.
"Quiet!" an old man's voice suddenly sounded, and the surrounding commotion gradually stopped. Ye Xu looked at the many strange heads of tall and short around him, and his first impression of this tribe was not very good.
"Xian Yue'er, is it really you?" a short head stood in front of the bench, and although he could not see the expression inside the shroud, the tremor of his voice already showed the man's excitement.
"Clan Elder, it's me, I'm Yue'er!" the girl hurriedly walked towards the short old man, and said excitedly: "Clan Elder, the gods helped me expel the toxin, and our clansmen were saved!"
The short old man stretched out his trembling, wrinkled black palm, touched Xian Yue'er's white and tender skin, and bowed down in the amazed eyes of many big-headed people around him. , the five bodies fell to the ground, choked up and shouted, "Don't hurry up and meet the gods!" The rest of the people immediately fell to the ground, trembling one by one.
"O gods, you have heard our prayers, and you have not forgotten your faithful servant here!" the old man cried out on the ground, which resonated with everyone, and for a time the cry on the top of the mountain was everywhere, and in harmony with the light rain, the miserable meaning suddenly spread.
Xian Yue'er also knelt down in the crowd, but she didn't forget to look at Ye Xu, who was frowning and staring at the headless corpse, and seeing that his expression was not good, she immediately got up and came to Ye Xu's side, and explained in a low voice: "This is the rule of the clan!"
"Who is this person?" Ye Xu said slowly.
"He and I are both chosen by the clan to pay tribute!" Seeing the miserable appearance of her companion, Xian Yue'er immediately lowered her head.
"Lord God!" the old man who was prostrate on the ground suddenly spoke: "Your Excellency has descended on our clan, and we respectfully ask your lord to move to the holy land in the clan!"
"From now on, no more sacrifices will be allowed!" Ye Xu said in a cold tone as he stared at the old man.
"This," the old man's tone was a little hesitant.
"I can't tell you?" Ye Xu asked slowly.
"Do as your lord instructs!" the old man kowtowed again.
"Xian Yue'er," Ye Xu beckoned, "Do you feel good outside the cave, is there an uncomfortable place to inhale the air here?"
"No!" Xian Yue'er listened to Ye Xu's inquiry, and then remembered that she didn't wrap her head, but she didn't feel stuffy when she breathed.
"That's good!" Ye Xu raised his hand to greet the old man who was prostrate on the ground and said, "You are the elder of the clan, I will drain your toxins today first, and then follow you back to the clan!" Seeing that the old man had a very high status in the clan, Ye Xu clearly knew that if he wanted to integrate into this place, he must show a "miracle" in front of everyone, otherwise even if he had the example of Xian Yue'er, he would not win the sincere treatment of everyone. What's more, there is still an idea in my mind that keeps urging rewards, so I simply combine the two things and do it at the same time!
The old man who removed the hood had white hair, wrinkles on his thin old face were piled up, and he looked at his tan and dry hands over and over again, and the tears in his eyes barely stopped.
When the surrounding people saw Ye Xu's "miracle", they fell to the ground again, and kept muttering the prayer in their mouths, which made Ye Xu really feel like a "magic stick". The last drop of ink dropped from the fingers hidden behind him, and a comfortable moan sounded in his head again. Ye Xu said to the shadow with some embarrassment: "You can't be secretly cool yourself, what else do you make a sound?"
"That's enough for today, what about tomorrow?" Shadow replied dismissively.
"You don't come, you didn't see that I had this ability, and you didn't mention this request, just now you sent the two of us up, these corpse poisons are even tickets!" Ye Xu replied casually.
"You! you don't keep your credibility!" said Mind angrily.
"First, I have paid off today's love. Second, did you ever ask me if I agreed when you devoured me?" Ye Xu was still indifferent.
"What do you want?" thought for a moment, then said in a softened tone.
"Can you come down with me?"
"Within the range of corpse poison, I can't go!" Mind said with some pride.
"Then you follow me, if I need anything, you can get the refined corpse poison!" Ye Xu prescribed.
"What do you mean by that?" asked Mind, a little confused.
"I'm fair, I don't want you to develop the habit of getting something for nothing!" Ye Xu said in a high-sounding manner, in fact, he wanted to find a bodyguard for himself, and occasionally show another "miracle" in front of people. For him, a little man who pretends to be a "god", every thing that can make people feel amazing is indispensable.
The carnival-like crowd used a rattan sedan chair to carry Ye Xu down the mountain, following the old man and Xian Yue'er left and right. Along the way, Ye Xu deeply realized why those clansmen were crying so sadly just now. Not to mention the steepness of the mountain road, judging from the black mist on the ground and the fact that there are no creatures around it, you can imagine what it costs to survive in such a place.
"Clan Elder, are you this year?" Ye Xu asked tentatively.
"My lord, the villain is fifty out of forty this year!" said the old man proudly.
"How much?" Looking at the appearance of a two-fold difference, Ye Xu asked in surprise.
"Forty, fifty out of forty!" replied the old man sincerely. Seeing Ye Xu's puzzled eyes, he immediately sighed and said: "The gods may not know, a long time ago, when the superior gods came, some of the people of my clan could live for hundreds of years, but now, the villain is the oldest person in the clan!"
"Hey!" Ye Xu looked at the situation around him, and could only let out a sigh of emotion.
"Lord God," Xian Yue'er suddenly said beside her, "Don't blame the clan for its approach to tribute!" Obviously, the girl did not forget that Ye Xu was dissatisfied with the bloody scene just now.
"Every baby born in our clan is chosen by the whole clan. Only the best can be cultivated as devotees!All the best food in the clan is given priority to us. We are all willing to pay for adults!"
"Don't hold any more sacrifices in the future!" Ye Xu sighed again.
The team came to the foot of the mountain briskly, Ye Xu had already found that there were many low hills at the foot of the mountain when he was at the top of the mountain, and when he came to the front at this moment, he was surprised to find that these hills were wrapped and eroded by withered yellow vines, but a building complex composed of the remnants of many tall buildings. Although it was dilapidated, it was dozens of meters high, and looking inward from the broken place, the structure of the room was no different from the place where he came from!
