The land of Xixuan carries heavy colors. In the spring of the year, everyone burns a small pile of straw on their own land, and incense is inserted on the land next to it, only to wait for the seven drums of the sacrifice to be passed layer by layer, until it spreads all over the land of Xixuan, and then everyone begins to burn straw on the rice, praying for good weather and abundant crops this year.

Next to the solemn royal altar full of black and red hues. In addition to being heavily guarded, it was also surrounded by civilians, and this was the only time that the royal altar allowed the people to enter.

There is a square on the altar, there is an adult male size of the giant tripod, this giant tripod, in addition to the red-hot charcoal fire, the top is covered with the black and red soil of Xixuan, if you can be the first time, the incense of your own into the giant tripod, it will soar and get the favor of God, at least these people think so, and this cognition, has been spread for hundreds of years.

What made these people even more curious this time was the resumption of the sacrificial ceremony.

A long time ago, Xixuan was still the capital of the Kangxuan Dynasty at that time. At that time, the sacrificial activities were held by the atavistic people of the Xu family, used to pray for good weather, and the most important thing was also to belong to the sacrificial activities, the ceremony of welcoming the atavistic people of the Xu family, cruel, it was said to be a test, whether you have the power of the atavistic bloodline.

After all, the sacrifice used in this sacrificial activity is your life!

"Knock knock, knock knock, knock. "When the sound of seven huge drums sounded on the altar. The strong man who beat the giant drum puffed out his muscles, and every stroke was with all his might. The giant drum made a loud sound, and the soil on the giant dome also jumped slightly in the sound.

The sound spread thickly into the distance, in all directions, like an echo, one by one from strong to weak, from weak to strong, like a wave, transmitting this feeling and strength to the distance.

As soon as these seven drums sounded, it meant that the sacrificial activity had officially begun.

Lost the sacrificial activities of the Xu family's atavism, before they were all pretended to be witches and danced a few sacrificial dances, and now, the Xu family has reappeared as an atavist, of course, there will be sacrifices that have not been seen for a long time. Not only the people, but even the dignitaries and nobles of Xixuan, the royal family, are all looking forward to it, looking at this sacrifice, looking at the reappearance of the Xu family, who is the atavistic person.

"The Emperor has arrived. The long tail note shows Xixuan's unique tone.

The emperor was dressed in black and red robes, and sat solemnly on the highest seat on the altar. The courtiers below, as well as the invited dignitaries and nobles, bowed their heads one after another, and the emperor's eyes looked around before he opened his mouth and said, "Flat." “

"Xie Dishang. “

The surrounding people took their seats one after another, and the sacrificial ceremony was officially begun.

With the sound of sacrificial music, next to the sacrificial table, ushered in a column of girls dressed in white, the girls stayed on the altar in turn, neatly arranged, from the middle of the two rows of white-clothed girls, out of a person wearing a cloak, wearing red and white sacrificial clothing, about nine years old girl, girl, the cloak on the top of the head flowing with big silk tassels hung symmetrically on both sides of the girl. The girl's face wore a blank mask, the mask had no color, it was pure white, and it had no facial features, except that the eyes were hollowed out.

The girl walked slowly to the middle of the altar, and a whisper came from below.

"What a child. “

"It can't be a sacrificial offering, right? A child who is only eight or nine years old will be an atavist?"

"It's just, maybe it's fake. It's a pity that a child is going to die in vain. “

"Alas. “

Not only the people around it, but even the grandstand sitting in front of the sacrificial platform, those royal relatives were also discussing.

The emperor raised his eyes lazily, and said to the Great Elder of the Xu Family beside him: "Great Elder, the Ministry of Rites said that the Great Elder's sacrifice this time is strictly in accordance with the previous one, can this nine-year-old child withstand it?"

The Great Elder stared at his face, Xu Qingruoye, who was left and right of the emperor, was waiting for the Great Elder's speech, and the Great Elder said: "The atavism itself is one in a million, if you have the power of the bloodline, you will naturally be able to spend this sacrificial ceremony safely, if it is not the atavism, then even if it is sacrificed, it is not a pity, even if it is a sacrifice to the sky." “

"The Great Elder is also quite open-minded, since the Great Elder doesn't mind, then let's start. The emperor said with a smile.

"The sacrificial ceremony officially began. The little eunuch beside the emperor shouted loudly, and as soon as the voice fell, the horns dragging the ground around him buzzed.

I saw that on the sacrificial platform, two columns of palace maids walked down under the steps of the sacrificial platform, and surrounded them in a circle, and their hands pulled up red silk threads, and wrapped them around the square pillars of the sacrificial platform, sealing the sacrificial platform tightly, and then took a step back, and the surrounding soldiers, holding spears and wearing iron armor, stepped forward in unison and blocked the surrounding of the altar.

Now the altar is surrounded by a red line, and there are heavy guards under the steps, and above the altar, only a nine-year-old girl dressed in white is left, standing alone on it.

Now, all the people on the field have stopped talking, and among the dense people below, there must be spies from other countries hiding in them. After all, if Xixuan's atavistic ancestors reappear in the world, the status of Xixuan, among the four countries, I am afraid that it will have to be moved.

"The flames are rising. I heard the eunuch say aloud.

The soldiers around him raised their bows and arrows, and the arrows were all tied with flames, and the bows were bent, and the strings were full, and they shot almost at the same time, and the rain of arrows flew towards the middle of the altar. The people below exclaimed one by one, and some couldn't help but cover their eyes.

Ordinary people must have been terrified, but the girl in the middle of the altar still closed her eyes, ignoring the fiery arrows flying towards her.

And these arrows, some accurately landed in the middle of the giant tripod, and some fell into the top of the four pillars, and in an instant, the pillar ignited a raging flame, and the flame spread rapidly along the pattern on the pillar, spreading to the bottom. It even quickly extended to the entire altar, following the pattern, to the bottom of the giant ding. One, two, three, one by one, pillars of fire spread across the altar.

The girl still stood still, unafraid, not at all afraid of the sudden flames at the bottom.

"Ahh The people below suddenly screamed, and in the air, an arrow was crooked in the air, and flew towards the girl who was standing.

All the people were in their hearts, and suddenly, a gust of wind blew in the air out of nowhere, and this wind, with a little bad aura, accurately reversed the direction of the arrow, and hit the only pillar that did not light up. The flame on the arrow ignited the oil in the pattern of the pillar, and in an instant, the flame rushed quickly along the pillar towards the giant ding.

It was also the gust of wind that blew away the girl's hood on the altar, and the waist-length hair shone faintly in the sunlight.

The emperor's head lifted slightly away from the hand, and his eyes narrowed, flashing a few rays of essence.

Everyone present was rejoicing in the change. Then there were only a few people on the stage, looking at each other differently.

The eyes of the Great Elder of the Xu Family widened a little, revealing a little excitement and expectation. Xu Qingruo, who was on the side, frowned, although everything is uncertain, it can prove that this girl is not simple.

With the addition of the last pillar, the entire altar was filled with fire.

This sudden and magical thing made the people around him sigh magically, wrinkle their brows, and look at the girl in the middle of the altar!

"Knock knock. As the drum beat louder and louder, the girl's hand slowly lifted, and the wide sleeves fluttered in the wind.

The sacrifice begins!

Flames covered the altar, and the girl raised her hands, and the green silk danced on either side of her mask instead of tassels.

She lifted her foot, and the bell above her shook a few times, only to realize that her feet were naked.

She stepped onto the scorching floor, the flames blazing above the giant dome in front of her. One step, two steps, three steps. The girl's expression could not be seen clearly in the white mask, all the people were breathing, and the girl Finally, she walked to the giant ding, stepped on the steps step by step, stood on the giant ding, and stepped into the giant ding without hesitation.

In an instant, the flames shone brightly, and the huge flames engulfed the girl like a beast of prey.

There were also some kind-hearted people in the stands, who couldn't see this cruel thing, and let out a few exclamations.

But almost all of them were staring at the giant dome, hoping to see through the flames what was going on inside, whether the girl was still alive?
