Chapter 113: Sacrifice
The old patriarch was criticized and said that he was shielding Tang Zixuan, but he was not angry, but asked rhetorically: "Is there such a thing? Why don't I know?"
*** with goat horns said in the crowd: "It was my son who heard it with his own ears, in the evening, my son passed by here and heard himself surnamed Tang say that he was the wild seed born by Mu Xi outside!"
When the old patriarch heard this, there was a slight hint of unhappiness in his eyes, but he covered it up well.
Tang Zixuan and Gu Wenyu's hearts chuckled, they knew that what the man with the goat's horn said was probably the truth, and it was their idle chat in the evening that was heard.
The old patriarch finally stood up on crutches, he looked at the man with goat's horns, and asked, "Shanzi, what evidence do you have for saying this?
"What proof do you need for what my son heard? I can let my son confront them face to face!" Shanzi said conclusively, and almost swore an oath.
Old Qi also immediately said: "What more proof do you need, when did Honghong leave Mu Xi? Isn't it obvious that Honghong and this group of people are walking together now? If the surname Tang has nothing to do with Mu Xi, how can Honghong save him? And why did you bring him to the Spirit Clan?"
At this time, someone in the crowd stood up and said, "In my opinion, take them up and sacrifice them to the wrath of the god of the mountain." ”
As soon as these words came out, the crowd instantly boiled, and they all clamored to arrest Tang Zixuan and the others to be tortured and tortured, and the mother and son would pay their debts.
"Yes, take them and sacrifice them!"
"Hand over the sinner Mu Xi!"
"Yes, sacrifice! Only in this way can the wrath of the mountain god be appeased!"
The more the villagers talked, the more excited they became, and they rushed into the courtyard one after another, without the restraint they had at the beginning.
Gu Wenyu and Xiao Tian had never seen any insomnia buns, and they were directly frightened by this battle, and the villagers were holding torches and pressing forward step by step, their eyes were vicious, like a group of zombies who chose to devour people.
The two stood behind Tang Zixuan, and Tang Zixuan escorted the two of them back again and again. They didn't know what the sacrifice was about, but looking at the eyes of the villagers, it was not difficult to guess that it would not be a good thing.
The old patriarch paused his crutches and said angrily: "That's enough! What are you doing? What sacrifices are you offering? Have you figured things out? You know how to make a fuss! I don't know that we spirit clans are all uncivilized barbarians!"
Old Qi has a kind of villager support, and he is full of confidence for a while, and the previous hesitation seems to be pretended, and then he also pointed at the patriarch angrily and said: "Are you deliberately protecting them? Do you already know the identity of that kid? Have you forgotten your identity as the patriarch?"
"You fart!" The old patriarch was really angry, and even began to swear, "I protect them? Why should I protect them? As the patriarch, shouldn't I figure things out before making a decision?"
"Isn't the matter clear enough?" Old Qi sneered and said, "The surname is Mu, you won't be reluctant to give up this grandson, right?"
The old patriarch's pupils shrank, he didn't look back at Tang Zixuan, but looked directly into the eyes of the old Qi, and said coldly: "If he is really Mu Xi's son, I will never tolerate it!"
Tang Zixuan stared at the back of the old patriarch in shock, he couldn't believe what he had heard, the old man in front of him turned out to be his grandfather?
Gu Wenyu and Xiaotian are also confused, this cold old man, this old man who treats Tang Zixuan as a tool man, is his grandfather?
It's just that my grandfather didn't care about his ancestors and grandchildren, and he was completely fair and strict.
Old Qi smiled and looked very satisfied, and he said, "Since the patriarch is so well aware of the righteousness, should we put a few of them in the dungeon before the matter is clarified?"
The patriarch also smiled, "Mr. Qi doesn't want to bend into a move, right?"
"How could it be? We spirits are naturally peace-loving, how could we do such a thing. It's just that the identities of these people are unknown, and it is really inappropriate to live here with the patriarch, and it is inevitable that people will be criticized, and those who don't know still think that the patriarch is favoritism. ”
Shanzi added on the side: "Mr. Qi is right, it's better to lock it up first." ”
The old patriarch was silent for a moment, "Can I still say no?"
"The patriarch understands the righteousness, and it is the blessing of my spirit race. "The old Qi put the patriarch there with a word.
The patriarch also stopped talking, and then more than a dozen villagers stepped forward together to pull Tang Zixuan and the others away.
Tang Zixuan held a long sword in his hand, protecting Gu Wenyu and Xiao Tian behind him, but this was the territory of the Spirit Clan, and he was invincible with two fists and four hands, so it was impossible for him to run away. And he didn't dare to manipulate the earth element, otherwise he would have directly leaked and indirectly admitted that he was Mu Xi's son.
The villagers who came to arrest them said coldly: "If I were you, I wouldn't resist, we are all rough people, one accidentally hurt your two friends, look at their thin arms and legs, I don't know if they will live to go to the dungeon." ”
This thick threatening words had an effect, Tang Zixuan knew that what this person said was true, and it would definitely not be good to have a head-on conflict with the Spirit Clan now, so he had to put away his long sword with hatred and let a few men suppress him.
When they were pressed out of the courtyard gate, another person took out the little fox Honghong.
The patriarch glanced at it and said, "This little fox is even broken, and I don't know if he can wake up, so he doesn't have to, right?"
Old Qi said earnestly: "This little guy is the pet of the saint, no matter what these people do, this little guy must sacrifice to the mountain." ”
The old patriarch frowned, but he didn't speak, he could see that this group of people was prepared, and they came to force him to obey tonight, and he didn't have the right to speak at all.
Tang Zixuan and his party were taken to the dungeon, and a kind of villager purpose was achieved. Before leaving, Lao Qi suddenly stopped, he looked at the old patriarch, and said softly: "Since the holy woman escaped, the mountain god has been frequently angry, if this kid surnamed Tang is really the descendant of the holy woman, we must use him to sacrifice to the mountain, I hope the patriarch will not be soft-hearted when the time comes."
The old patriarch didn't speak, and Lao Qi obviously didn't intend to wait for the old patriarch's reply, so he left the old patriarch's house with the villagers after saying this, as if he was just taking a vaccination.
Tang Zixuan and the others were escorted to the dungeon by the villagers, and the entrance of the dungeon was behind the temple, and after walking through the dark passage, it was the location of the dungeon.
The place was dark and damp, and there were several cells, each of which had runes on the iron bars, apparently to prevent the prisoners from escaping.
The huge dungeon only locked up Tang Zixuan and the three of them, plus a little fox.
