Chapter 519: Human Sacrifice
"My lord, those Miao children were stolen, and their whereabouts are unknown!"
The boy whispered in my ear and gritted his teeth.
I couldn't help but be stunned and asked suspiciously, "This?" I know there are traffickers out there who are abducting children. Are there children who steal children in this mountain? And their children were stolen, so if they didn't go to the police, how could they run to Uncle Miao? ”
"Adults don't know that their children are being stolen. It's useless to go to the police. Because their children were stolen by their own people..."
The child patiently explained, and I realized that the theft of their children and the abduction and trafficking of children outside are not the same nature at all. And it's still their Miao people's internal reasons, and it's useless to find the police. Moreover, it is not the first time that Miao children have been lost and stolen. It has happened many times before, and the time of occurrence is basically before the tenth month of the lunar calendar. Every time a child is lost, there is no life or death. There has never been one who has survived.
At first, when the child was stolen and lost, it was because it was in the old society of war. At that time, I couldn't even eat enough, and no one cared about this. But gradually, every five or six years, or ten or so, there will be an incident of losing a child in Miao Village. It's not just the thousand-household Miao village where Uncle Miao is located, there are some other Miao villages.
And the lost children are basically children born during the lunar year. With the loss of one or two times, there are finally some senior wizards among the local Miao people who see the signs. Comprehensively the number of lost children, the number of birthdates, and the lost time. It was deduced that these children were stolen by some evil sects within the Miao people, and the purpose was very simple, two words, sacrifice!
Yes, it's a sacrifice!
It is rumored that the Miao people are the descendants of the ancient Jiuli people, and their ancestors are the Chiyou who competed with the Yellow Emperor for the world in ancient times. It is because the Miao people have always had the characteristics of worshipping their ancestors inside. But this sacrifice will also be divided into many kinds, the common Miao sacrifice is to kill some livestock, and the vast majority of Miao people sing and dance to sacrifice.
But there is another kind of sacrifice, which is the internal sacrifice of the famous local Five Poison Sect, the Fierce Ghost Sect, the Witch Gu Sect and other sects. This kind of sacrifice is much bloodier and more complicated. And most crucially, there is a kind of sacrifice in these sects, an evil method of sacrifice called human sacrifice.
Therefore, the whereabouts of these lost children were determined by the senior village elders to be taken away by the cult and used for sacrifice. It is precisely because of this that those cults, not to mention the people outside, and even the government hate, even among the local Miao people, few people like them.
Therefore, the children in the thousands of Miao villages where Uncle Miao is located were stolen, and the time is calculated, and it is almost the time period when the children were lost in previous years. So these families who lost their children did not go to the police at the first time, but came to Uncle Miao.
Speaking of which, I also knew that Uncle Miao was actually the wizard village elder of the Thousand Miao Villages.
After Xiao Tong finished speaking, I was already shocked not to want it, using living sacrifices, and I was limited to understanding film and television dramas. Never learned about it in real life yet. Don't look at me, I've been mixing in the yin and yang world, but I've never been to Miao Village, and I haven't learned about the cult of the Miao people.
At first glance, the shock to me was simply incomparable. On the spot, I couldn't help but murmur, "How could they be so cruel to sacrifice with living people?" ”
"Cruel? Those cults are just a bunch of crazy people. Even the little boy thinks that he is an evil master, and he is inferior to them. Xiao Tong still remembers that when he was cultivating in Miaojiang, he had communicated with the leader of the Witch Gu Sect back then. The reason why they sacrificed people alive was to resurrect their ancestor Chiyou. ”
The child lowered his head and raised an inexplicable taste at the corner of his mouth, as if mocking, as if he was self-deprecating, as if he was funny, or even more like nostalgia, which was somewhat incomprehensible.
it, resurrect Chiyou? Sure enough, it's a bunch of crazy people, why don't they die?
After I was briefly shocked, I couldn't help but curse secretly, who is Chiyou? That's the Great Demon God of the Ancients. Although I don't know how they resurrected Chiyou, whether they can resurrect Chiyou, just by their behavior, it is enough to cut a thousand knives and pull out the whip corpse.
The more I thought about it, the more angry I became, and the more angry I became, the more I felt that I should do something, not to mention exterminating the cult, at least I had to rescue those Miao children. Thinking of this, I looked at the group of Miao people, looking angry and sad, and still talking to Uncle Miao in Miao language. And he walked over.
However, as soon as I took two steps, I was grabbed by Xiao Tong and whispered, "My lord, you'd better not interfere in this matter." This is an internal matter of their Miao people. Besides, the strength of the cult is not weak, so there is no need for us to mix it in. ”
"Little boy, what are you talking about? Cults do a lot of evil, so if you don't meet them, forget it, but since you do, how can you turn a blind eye? ”
I glanced at Xiao Tong and thought that Xiao Tong himself was an evil sect master, and he was no longer strange about human sacrifices, so he stopped me from interfering, and his selfishness was too heavy. couldn't help but be very dissatisfied and broke away from him, and whispered. continued to walk towards Uncle Miao's location, and there was a wry smile from the voice of the little boy behind him, saying that even if I interfere, people will not appreciate it, let alone let me interfere and so on.
On the spot, I was still laughing at the boy in my heart, the evil faction was in trouble, and I sent a dignified purple Fu Heavenly Master to the door, Uncle Miao and the other Miao people didn't say thank you, at least they wouldn't be turned away! They're not stupid!
However, in fact, the boy was really right. When I expressed my intention to Uncle Miao, he actually rejected me outright. What else do you say is that this is the Miao people's own business, it belongs to internal strife, and it is inappropriate for me to intervene as an outsider.
I was speechless and dazed for a while, not knowing what was going on? I usually look at Miao people very enthusiastically, but I didn't expect that they were still xenophobic in this matter. It wasn't until the child explained my confusion that I realized that it was not the Miao people who were xenophobic, but because of sectarian disputes.
Taking the Witch Gu Sect as an example, it is rumored that the Miao people have a big religion called the Witch Sect, which was founded by the subordinates of Chi You, the leader of Jiuli. The members of the Wujiao sect have always served as the sacrifices of the drum societies of the various clans of the Miao people, such as the drum festival held every thirteen years and forbidden to be attended by foreigners. And the Witch Cult was born out of the Witch Cult.
The witch Gu sect cultists, cultivating evil witchcraft, cup Gu art. Preaching that the country should be Miao people, and wealth should also be Miao people. Miao people should not live in the mountains where the terrain is remote and the birds do not poop, and live a life without clothes. It is even said that in the battle of the ancient deer, the reason why Chi You failed was because he fell into the insidious scheme of the Yellow Emperor, so Miao was driven into the mountains.
Therefore, the Wu Gu Sect has always claimed to bewitch and resurrect the ancestors, lead the Miao people to regain the power of Jiuli, and sweep the Central Plains.
Although almost all Miao people do not believe in the propaganda of the Witch Gu Sect, there are some people with ill intentions who join the Witch Gu Sect. It is precisely because of this that the Witch Gu Sect has been characterized as a cult, and it can't help but be shouted and beaten by everyone outside like rats crossing the street, and even among the Miao people, they are not welcomed and suppressed by the Witch Sect.
I learned that there was such an inside story, and I was speechless on the spot, and I couldn't help but sigh that there were no craziest people in these years, only crazier people. This was echoed by the children.
After a few more pleasantries, Xiao Tong looked at Uncle Miao and the others, and said in a low voice: "My lord, since this is their internal dispute, let's not interfere, let's find the place where Xiao Tong cultivated back then, and it is important to get the push back map!" ”
When I think about it carefully, it's true, if you want to intervene, you can't intervene, it's still your own business. However, I nodded, and took advantage of the fact that Uncle Miao and the others did not pay attention, and under the leadership of Xiao Tong, I walked with the fat little fox towards the west mountain.
