Volume 1 The Doubtful Grave of the King of Wannu Chapter 73 Blood Sacrifice
The Dian people generally choose the early spring when the weather is sunny for blood sacrifices, they believe that the arrival of spring marks the reproduction of all things, and the marriage of the Dian people is also at this time.
When the priests had chosen a date, the unfortunate Kunming prisoners would be dragged from the prison to an empty field and tied to a pillar.
In the center of the empty field stand three large bronze drums, symbolizing the god of farming. The drum surface is often decorated with radiant sun patterns, representing the sky. The various scenes carved and cast on the drum represent human life. At this time, the Kunming prisoners were sacrificed to the god of agriculture as a blood sacrifice by the Dian people.
It was a woman who presided over this sacrifice, and she stood in a pivotal position among the Dian people. Normally, the priest's hair is combed back neatly and neatly, split in half in the middle of the forehead, tied into a silver worm-shaped bun at the back of the neck, and wears a long shirt with a collarless collar and knee-length gown.
Under her command, fifty-six Dian mages, divided into eight directions, seven people on each side, held the beads of the Immortal Bead and cast spells at the same time, summoning the evil Gu worms hidden in the beads!
The Gu worm marks the belief of the Dian people and can protect the Dian people from being strong, so it is worshiped as a god-given spirit worm, commonly known as the silver spirit son!
When the executioners of the Dian tribe saw the silver spirit floating here, they would cut off the heads of the prisoners one by one, and put them in sacrificial vessels to worship the sky, and the blood splashed by the prisoners would be sucked by the Gu worms, making their Gu poison even stronger!
In the eyes of the Dian people, this practice not only makes the tribe strong, but the gods in the sky will also fertilize their land, so that they can have a good harvest and no worries about food and clothing.
After the ritual of sacrifice is completed, the men and women of the Dian people can freely mingle in the mulberry forest, so that the sun will shine, all things will multiply, and people will prosper.
In fact, Sun Lao Fu said so much in a wordy way, and I couldn't understand what this Dian mage has to do with this tomb!
However, Professor Yan heard the doorway, raised his head and gasped, and said to Sun Laofu: "What does Mr. Sun mean, does it mean that the Dian mage in this tomb is placed like this, which actually symbolizes that they are holding a ceremony!" ”
Old Sun frowned, nodded at Professor Yan and replied, "Exactly!" The main purpose of these Dian mages accompanying the burial is to protect the Nine Dragons carrying the corpse coffin on the Linglong Terrace! Originally, our Sun family, as the tomb guard of the King of Wannu, would go to the Linglong platform every year when he was a priest to add some lamp oil for the coffin! Hey, but since that day, after a long time came, the feng shui of these Dian mages was moved, and since then, no one has been able to get close to the Nine Dragons to carry the corpse coffin! ”
I stood aside, and the more I listened to Sun Laofu's words, the more confused I became, how did Tianyi Chang enter here, how did he change the feng shui position, and how did the Sun family know that it was Tianyi Chang's doing?
Just when I wanted to get to the bottom of it and ask about Sun Laofu, Huo Tianqi's grandson finished breathing on the injury.
He stood up suddenly, and a claw hand grabbed my back shoulder, pulled and pulled, and pressed me directly to the stone wall of Linglong Terrace. Then he grabbed me by the neck with his hand backwards, and this grandson was so cruel that he almost choked me out of breath!
Seeing this, Yun Jingjing took out a flying knife, pointed at Huo Tianqi angrily and shouted, "Huo Tianqi! What exactly do you want to do? If you dare to move a finger today, even if I fight hard, I will not be finished with you! ”
I held my breath and looked at Yun Jingjing with difficulty, her body was constantly trembling! I don't know if I feel sorry for me or if I'm angry!
However, in such a dangerous situation now, she was able to speak for me for the first time, which made me feel very gratified, and the warm current of happiness in my heart rose extremely!
Huo Tianqi glanced at Yun Jingjing coldly and replied, "Hmph, Tianyi has a long magic trick!" You know too much about the secrets of this mind-reading. Hold your horses! I'll deal with him first, and then none of you will be able to escape, you will all have to die here!" ”
"You ......"
Yun Jingjing was speechless by Huo Tianqi, biting her red lips and being angry. But if I make a move, but because I am still in Huo Tianqi's hands, the sword has no eyes, in case there is a mistake, my life will not end.
I looked at Yun Jingjing's forced and aggrieved expression, and a sense of humiliation hit the top of my heart at that time! Who am I, Zhao Erdou, a veteran of the Great Revolution, and a former heroic captain and company commander of the Republic! Soldiers can be killed, but they cannot be humiliated, how can I stand this!
So I grabbed Huo Tianqi's hand holding my neck with my left hand, and with a huff of my waist, my right hand suddenly reached into the brocade bag on Huo Tianqi's waist, pulled out a heart-piercing nail, and stabbed Huo Tianqi's throat!
All these actions were done in one go, and Huo Tianqi was also caught off guard by my sudden counterattack, so he had to fly and retreat!
Yun Jingjing saw that the time had come, so she casually threw the flying knife out and went straight to Huo Tianqi's destiny gate!
Not to mention that Jiang is still old and spicy, Huo Tianqi turned sharply with him, and kicked Yun Jingjing's flying knife with a somersault, which instantly changed its direction and plunged straight into my chest!
"Erdou ......!"
I was swept away by the momentum of the flying knife, and I flew several meters away, and blood sprayed all over the ground!
Yun Jingjing saw that I was seriously injured and fell to the ground, she cried out heartbreakingly, threw herself in front of me, hurriedly held down my wound, hid her face and wept!
Seeing this, Professor Yan also stood up, his face was sallow, and he pointed at Huo Tianqi, trembling for a long time and unable to speak! At this time, Sun Laofu was hiding coldly, his expression was sluggish, and he couldn't see any extra emotions at all!
"I. Exercise. Your uncle, dare to fucking hurt my brother! I'm going to kill you! ”
Dunzi, who was originally unconscious, was awakened by Yun Jingjing's sudden scream. Seeing that I was seriously injured and struggling, my anger rushed straight to my head, and I rushed up, ran to the Dian Master Mage, picked up a Tongshen bead, and smashed it at Huo Tianqi!
"Eh, mother, it's broken, it's broken!"
Dunzi's fury frightened Sun Laofu, and he shouted in his mouth that he was going to grab the Tongying bead in Dunzi's hand, so how could it be too late!
This situation suddenly changed, Huo Tianqi's face was not very good-looking, it was all green! He shook his hand and got up to take the bead, and put his foot on the chest of the pier!
He stumbled a few times and sat on the ground. But that Huo Tianqi was still unforgiving, and he fell into the air with both knees and went straight to Dunzi's chest, this is to kill Dunzi with one blow!
Don't look at the five big and three coarse and stupid people who are usually stupid, this is not ambiguous at a critical time! Lying on the ground, a donkey rolled and dodged Huo Tianqi's blow first. Then he quickly pulled out two American-made Colt M1911A1 semi-automatic pistols from his old waist!
