Chapter 81: Sacrificial Rituals
Shen Jingguo hurriedly entered the mansion, and with a heavy and dull sound, the door of the Shen mansion was closed!
"Yue'er, are you okay?" Shen Qiushi looked at Shen Qianyue with a worried expression.
"Mother, I'm fine, I'm fine. Shen Qianyue spun around in front of Shen Qiu's family.
"It's okay, it's okay. ”
"Yue'er, you go back to rest first, I have something to say to your mother. Shen Jingguo said with a heavy heart.
"Daddy, mother, the daughter will go back to the house first. ”
"Hmm. ”
When Shen Qianyue walked away, Shen Jingguo told everything that happened in Xiangguo's mansion today, and Shen Qiu's face was full of worry when he heard it, and he only squeezed out a few words: "Then what should I do now?"
"What should I do? The husband can't think of a perfect solution now, once this matter is exaggerated, it will be difficult to block the mouths of the people, and it will probably lead to trouble. ”
"Then the concubine will take Yue'er away now!" Shen Qiu's said helplessly.
"Where can we go, once this matter reaches the palace, it will be out of control. ”
"Then you have to go, master, you must listen to the concubine this time. "Shen Qiu's clan wants to go into the back room to clean up.
"Hey, go, go, go as far as possible!" Shen Jingguo waved his hand helplessly.
Shen Qiushi went into the house alone to clean up, leaving Shen Jingguo alone in the main hall.
"Get Steward Shen. Shen Jingguo said calmly to a domestic servant.
"Back to the master, Steward Shen had already left in a carriage an hour ago!"
"Where are you going?"
"I didn't say it, the little one thought that you knew where he was going, so he didn't have much tongue. ”
"That's it!" Shen Jingguo said with his head bowed in pain.
"The little one went down first. ”
"Wait. ”
"What else does the master command?"
"When I see the second lady coming back, bring her directly to me, if she resists, you can bring more people to bring her. ”
"This ?......... The little one understands!" said the servant, knowingly.
Shen Qiu's family cleaned up in his room for a long time, and then hurried to Shen Qianyue's boudoir.
"Yue'er, hurry up and pack up, we'll leave immediately. ”
"Let's go, where are we going?" Shen Qianyue looked puzzled.
"While this matter is still fermenting, let's leave the Witch Spirit Kingdom quickly. ”
"Leave, but this is our home, where are we going?
"Now, I can't take care of so much, clean up quickly and be obedient. Shen Qiu's shoulders were carrying a burden and walking back and forth in front of the couch, just waiting for Shen Qianyue to pack up.
"Okay, no?" Shen Qiushi urged.
"Alright. Shen Qianyue changed into a plain dress, picked up the veil on the dresser and put it on.
"The carriage has been arranged, it's at the back door, and we'll go now. Shen Qiushi hurriedly pulled Shen Qianyue and walked outside the house.
At this time, I only heard that the doors of the Shen Mansion were about to be knocked on, and the sound of coming to crusade was endless.
"Hand over the monster!"
"Hand over the monster!"
The servants in the Shen Mansion stepped forward one by one and pressed the door, but there was too much trouble outside the door, and the servant door was almost unable to hold on, and the door felt like it would collapse inward at any time.
"Leave it alone, let's go. Shen Qiushi grabbed Shen Qianyue, who was hesitating, and hurried to the back door.
As soon as he moved a few steps, he heard a loud bang behind him, and the gate of the Shen Mansion collapsed in an instant!
Everyone quickly surrounded Shen Qiu's clan and Shen Qianyue, and Shen Jingguo noticed the change in time at the back door and hurriedly rushed over.
"Burn her, burn her!"
The unified shouts of the crowd rang in their ears.
"Everyone be quiet!" Shen Jingguo struggled to squeeze into the crowd and struggled to come to Shen Qiu's mother and daughter.
"Everyone be quiet and quiet! Listen to me Shen Mou say a few words!" Shen Jingguo tried his best to stabilize people's hearts.
"What's there to say, she's an ominous monster who will bring disaster to our Witch Spirit Country!" said a man in the crowd loudly.
"Everyone thinks about it a lot, the little girl is not a monster, but she grows up faster than ordinary children. ”
"Master Shen, don't hide it from us, we already know the witch doctor's prophecy!"
"The witch doctor's prophecy? How do you know it? Besides, the witch doctor didn't say that the little girl was a monster. ”
"Master Shen, there is no impermeable wall in the world, paper can't contain fire, she will bring disaster to the people of Wuling Kingdom, there is no doubt about this!
"yes!"
"Yes! she must be executed!"
"Burn her!
The voices of various crusades in the crowd came one after another, and Shen Jingguo only felt dizzy.
Shen Qianyue looked at this group of people who had never met her, and felt a lot of feelings in her heart, "Don't embarrass my parents, if you have anything, come directly to me." Shen Qianyue said calmly.
"Since you know the current affairs, then we won't embarrass the Shen family!" A troublemaker in the crowd tied up Shen Qianyue with a few thick men.
Shen Qiushi stepped forward to stop him, but was pushed to the ground.
"Enough! I'll go with you! Don't hurt my family. Shen Qianyue said angrily.
"Let's go, let's go!" The two strong men escorted Shen Qianyue out of the Shen Mansion, followed by a group of people watching the excitement.
Shen Jingguo and Shen Qiu's clan followed closely behind the crowd, and the direction in which they went was the place where the Wu Ling Kingdom held its sacrificial ceremony.
Sure enough, they escorted Shen Qianyue to the altar, tied her firmly to a wooden stake, and gathered dry firewood all around, this posture was undoubtedly to burn her!
At this time, the scorching sun was in the sky, and on the high altar, Shen Qianyue was sweating, and she suddenly felt dry and dizzy.
Soon, the crowd watching the excitement surrounded the altar with three layers inside and three layers outside.
Then they all shouted, "Burn her!"
It was not the first time Shen Qianyue had heard it, but at this time she seemed quite indifferent, only half-squinting at the people in the audience, and a contemptuous smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Shen Jingguo and Shen Qiushi tried their best to squeeze forward, but they couldn't squeeze into the position on the edge of the altar, the crowd became more and more crowded, and Shen Jingguo and Shen Qiushi were scattered by the crowd.
A man dressed in a wizard's costume walked up to the altar, "Everyone, today, let Zhao perform the sacrifice ceremony!"
"Wizard Zhao!
Cries of support rang out from the crowd.
I saw him raise his torch, and the rest of the wizards next to him shook the brass bell around the stake, and muttered incantations in their mouths, and it lasted for a long time.
Soon, the wizards on the side all got off the altar, and only Wizard Zhao remained on it.
He lit the torch and lit it, and finally, he walked slowly towards Shen Qianyue with a strange smile.
"The hour is up!" he proclaimed.
Then he raised his torch aloft and slowly leaned towards the dry branches............
"Stop!"
There was a loud sound of stopping in the distance, and the man on horseback quickly dismounted and ran straight to the altar.
"Who's coming!" Wizard Zhao asked menacingly.
"Bold! Dare to hold a sacrificial ceremony privately, and I am not afraid of angering the gods!"
"Interesting, hurry down!"
The strange man snatched the torch from Wizard Zhao's hand.
