Chapter 41: Human Sacrifice

It can be seen from the deferential appearance of that group of people to her, and what is it in her arms? If I'm not mistaken, it's a nine-tailed fox, right? It's still a red nine-tailed fox, oh my God, it's definitely not an ordinary person!!

But when did this Bai Yuanzhi worship such a powerful master?

……

"Master, you must save my sister!!" This Bai Yuanzhi walked beside the Yuan Sacrifice, chattering non-stop while leading the way, if it weren't for the fact that he was her apprentice, she would definitely ......!!!

"What the hell is going on?" Yuan Sai gritted his teeth and resisted the urge to kill.

"They ...... my sister"

"Needless to say, I've seen it!" While speaking, they had already walked to the place where the incident occurred, the courtyard of the Bai family.

But what is this scene?

A group of villagers held torches and jumped around a girl in cloth, spinning and shouting, as if they were excited?

And the girl who was surrounded in the middle was tied to the altar, and her feet were piled with firewood, and this scene, this scene, was it to burn her to death?

The villagers tried their best to stop a middle-aged woman, seeing that the woman's crying liver and intestines were broken, except for the girl's mother, who was not the second choice, but what was it that deserved such a big fanfare from a village to burn a girl to death?

"Is this your sister?"

"Yes, master! She, she's my sister, can you save her? As he spoke, tears flowed down, this is his most beloved sister, he plans to go to Xiyuan to do business in order to take the family away and stay away from this matter, but after all, he still can't hide, he can't hide!!

"Senior brother, don't worry, you say slowly, what's going on!" Wang Zhun felt that the situation was not right, and it was strange that he didn't anger the master if he went on like this, so he hurriedly spoke out to help!

In Bai Yuanzhi's description, Yuan Sai and the others had a preliminary understanding of this matter.

There has always been a tradition in this North Road Village, that is, sacrifice, if it was just an ordinary sacrifice, the Yuan Festival would not have seen today's farce.

They believe that everything in the world is controlled by the gods, so the village prays for the blessings of the gods by offering sacrifices to the gods, and if it is not a blessing, there will be no more disasters, and whenever they worship the gods, they will choose a woman with a pure body from the village and punish her with fire as a sign of devotion to the gods.

I don't know when such a sacrifice began, anyway, every three years a sacrifice is carried out, and each sacrifice has to choose a woman with a pure body to be burned to death, they think that this will save them from disaster, but in fact where will there be any disaster?

But this tradition has been passed down for so many years, and outsiders can't interfere in any way, and the villagers are already convinced.

And this year, the person who was selected was Bai Yuanzhi's sister Bai Yingzhi.

Yuan Sai sneered after hearing this, pedantic people: "In that case, why don't the people in this village move away?" ”

"They won't move away, this tradition has been around since I was a child, every three years I would burn a person to death, and this year, it's Yingzhi!"

"Master, this is superstition at all! Shall we help us out? "Let's just say that Murong Yu will always be the one with the most courage, this sentence will never be wrong, when no one dares to speak, she is actually talking, and she still asks the master to save people, what she said is so natural!

"You're really getting bolder, what do I do, do you want you to order me?" She really indulges this Murong Yu too much, she is not afraid of heaven and earth.

In the stalemate here, the sacrifice over there has already begun.

A small altar, the sides of which slope downward, are shaped like a roof, and Bai Yingzhi, who is a sacrifice, is placed on the altar, his limbs are tied, and he no longer struggles, as if he has accepted his fate.

The sound of gongs and drums began to sound, and then a man with a ghostly face appeared, jumping around the altar, reciting words that no one could understand.

Yuan Sai just looked at it coldly, the light in her eyes was full of interest, she knew that there was indeed a god in the world, but which god was not selfish? What god would pay attention to these ants? Sacrifice? Human sacrifice? It's just a vain increase in death, and nothing can be replaced.

Seeing that the torch was about to fall on the altar and was about to light the firewood, Bai Yuanzhi glanced at the Yuan Sacrifice, gritted his teeth and rushed over, he would never just watch his sister die in front of him, since the master was unwilling to save, then he would save even if he was desperate.

"Master? Are you really not going to save it? ”

"Why should I be saved?"

These words blocked Wang Zhun's next sentence to death, yes, why did the master save it? The master has always only killed people, when has he ever saved someone?

glanced at the person in the cloak, and rushed up with Bai Yuanzhi, forget it, it's a big deal to be punished by the master, the master will not kill him because of this matter, but if this woman dies, it is indeed too wronged.

For a while, except for the guards on the plateau, the others rushed over with Bai Yuanzhi, and when they saw Yuan Sai, they laughed at it, hugged Mi'er and talked to the little fox: "Mi'er, do you think I can't save it?" ”

Mi'er continued to sleep, ignoring her, obviously she already had a plan in her heart, and asked others to see if she was a fox......

Eleven people rushed over, and were immediately stopped by the villagers, although their martial arts are powerful, but they can't stand the crowd tactics of this group of people, and they can't do it like the master, killing people is like pinching ants to death, they can't do it, even if they do such a bad thing, they are just ignorant villagers, they can't do it against the villagers who have no power to restrain the chicken.

"Far away, don't mess around!"

"Father, isn't my sister your daughter? Why did she have to be burned? "Bai Yuanzhi is the weakest person in this group, how powerful can a teenager in a village be? But with that desperate energy, he rushed to the front.

"No why, it's tradition!! Ignition!! ”

"Don't light the fire, Dad, don't light the fire, don't!" desperately trying to break free from the shackles of the crowd, but there was no way to break free, so I could only keep tears and watch my sister cry at him, at this moment, the brother and sister looked at each other from afar, inexhaustible family affection, inexhaustible pain.

The firewood was lit, and the raging fire burned, and the flame had the power to destroy everything, and it was about to devour the girl in an instant, and the reflection of the fire in Bai Yuanzhi's eyes was heartbreaking.

The villagers cheered and jumped, and the flames on the altar were reflected in the eyes of everyone present, but suddenly, the sky began to float with snowflakes, and the snow was white and flawless, and it fell in sprinkling and falling, and it was snowing in summer? All the villagers were shocked, except for the disciples of the Yuan Festival! How can it snow in summer? The villagers are puzzled!

But this snowflake is only the beginning, the air seems to be distorted by some force, the snowflakes are twisted with the distortion in the air, and a cold current erodes the temperature of this summer day in such a strange way.

The whirlpool gathered countless snow, swept towards the fire on the altar, and in an instant, the flame that had been ignited was frozen, and the flame was not extinguished, but was frozen in the crystal ice, and in the ice blue ice was the bright yellow flame, but the flame no longer had a hot temperature.

Such a weirdness shocked everyone, can ice and fire be compatible? Why is fire encased in ice?

The absolute coldness centered on the altar and began to spread in all directions, and in a matter of moments, the ground was covered with a thick layer of ice.

Bai Yuanzhi looked back at the master, and sure enough, it was the master! At this moment, the Yuan Priest held the crystal staff in his hand, and he sat quietly on the snow, nine fiery red tails fluttering, and the ice blue and the fiery red were a visual impact.

Master Chong bowed gratefully, hurriedly ran to the altar, untied the rope that tied his sister, and rescued the person: "Yingzhi, it's okay, my brother came to save you!" ”

"Brother, what is this?" Bai Yingzhi was a little weak, so he simply leaned into his brother's arms.

"It's my master, my master is a very powerful person, no one can bully you in the future, brother promises!" She must be freaking out, right? Don't look at her appearance of putting life and death out of the way, in fact, she must have been scared to death, it was he who didn't protect her well, took his sister into his arms, and comforted him silently.
