Chapter 75: The Sacrificial Ceremony
The man's eyes fluttered for a few seconds.
Rong Ember stabbed the tip of the sword into the man's chest, and the place where the tip of the sword fell was exactly on the eyes of the snakehead pattern!
The man snorted in pain, then widened his eyes, and used his eyes to intimidate Rong Ember with his fierce and ferocious eyes!
But Rong Shen didn't seem to see it, he said lightly, "Don't say it, anyway, it's okay tonight, I'll scrape off this snake's head inch by inch." ”
"How dare you !!"
The man who had been scolding people with words he didn't understand finally said something he could understand.
Sang Shu raised her eyebrows in surprise, "Yo, is this going to say?" ”
"Rong Ash, how did you find out?" Sang Shu walked to Rong Ash's side, her eyebrows and eyes were slightly curved, she didn't expect Rong Ember to understand this.
"I have read in ancient books that some mysterious tribes existed before the Three Kingdoms were established, and the people of these tribes generally leave marks on their bodies to prove that they belong to that tribe."
Rong Ember landed the tip of his sword on the other eye of the snake's head, "Say, what tribe are you?" ”
The man clenched his fingers, and the corners of his forehead were bulging, "I will never tell you!" ”
"Even if it's death?" Ember opened his lips.
"Even if it's death!" The man's voice was firm and hoarse.
Rong Yan's tone was extremely light, "Even if the faith is destroyed? ”
The man was stunned for a moment, "When you return to the tribe on your deathbed, the mark on your body is stripped away, you are a traitor to the tribe, can you still go back?" ”
"Your father, your children, your best friends, all of them will be tortured, humiliated, dismembered, and die without a place to be buried because of your betrayal!"
Rong Yan's words became more and more intense, and in the end, the man's face turned pale, completely lacking the crazy and arrogant appearance just now.
This snake head pattern can only be tattooed on the body with the unique grass needles in the tribe, every time someone leaves the tribe, they have to strip and check when they go back, once the pattern on the body disappears, it means betrayal......
And the fate of betrayal, he feels terrible when he thinks about it.
The man tensed up, endured the creepy tremble, and looked at the strange young man in front of him in horror, how could he know so well?
"Say!"
Sang Shu spoke at the right time, "As long as you answer what we want to know, we won't touch the mark on your body." ”
The man was silent for a moment, and Rong Ember asked, "How did the people in the village die?" ”
The man's eyes lowered and his voice was hoarse, "The water of the Mi River is poisonous. ”
"We naturally know this, this is your poison?"
"That's right."
Sang Shu's eyes were completely cold, "Why?" Why you should do it! ”
"This is the order of the chief, I am just the one who does things for the chief! I am not qualified to know what the chief thinks. ”
Sang Shu suppressed her anger, "The leader of your tribe poisoned the people of the entire village? Why are there only these few corpses? What about the others? ”
The man whispered, "Taken away." ”
"Taken to your tribe?" Sang Shu asked rhetorically.
"Yes."
"Is this the first time you've hurt people, or do you do it often?" Rong Ember keenly sensed the slightest hint of something was wrong and immediately asked.
"Every ten years, the chief will let us come out and kidnap a hundred living people."
Rong Yan's eyes darkened, and his brows furrowed, "For the sacrifice? ”
The man was obviously stunned, and raised his eyes to look at Rong Ember in surprise, "How do you know that we are about to usher in a sacrificial ceremony?" ”
Sang Shu, who was listening on the side, was stunned for a moment and sacrificed with a living person.
What kind of underworld tribe is this?
It's just that it's so obvious that these living people have been killed to sacrifice, how can this person still say that he doesn't know the leader's thoughts?
"I don't know if these people are killed for sacrifice, we all have to listen to the orders of the leader, and we must not doubt and speculate on any of the leader's ideas!"
Hearing this, the tip of Sang Shu's nose wrinkled slightly.
"Take us to the tribe." Rong Yan's gaze sank slightly.
"Impossible!"
"The tribe has rules! It must not be discovered by outsiders, otherwise it will be a catastrophe for the tribe! ”
"Even if the snake's head pattern is stripped off?" Sang Shu squinted at the man who suddenly became excited.
"Even if it is death, I will never take you to the tribe!"
After he said this, Sang Shu raised his hand without hesitation and slashed at his neck.
The person fainted directly, and Sang Shu looked at Rong Yan, "It is unlikely that he will tell us the location of the tribe." ”
"It's you." Sang Shu felt a little strange, "How do you know about the tribe's sacrifices?" ”
The dark eyelashes of the embers drooped and fell on the skin under the eyes, a shadow.
"My mother has a library pavilion, which my father built especially for her, and when I was a child, I slipped in and read some books, which talked about many mysterious tribes and the sacrificial activities in the tribe."
It seemed that his memory was a little vague, and Rong Ember thought about it seriously for a while before saying, "Those sacrificial activities are very gloomy, and I have had nightmares for a long time after reading the contents of that album. ”
Sang Shu was slightly stunned, Rong Yan's mother, actually preferred these?
Everyone in the capital said that Mrs. Rong was knowledgeable, gentle and generous, but she didn't expect her heart to be so wild......
Sang Shu thought about it, realizing that she was a little distracted, so she quickly came to her senses.
She noticed that Ember's eyes had darkened slightly.
It should be mentioning my mother, and I miss it a little.
"When this experience is over, I will go to the emperor and ask where your mother was dismissed."
Rong Shen raised his eyes, and looked at Sang Shu for a moment with those dark eyes, "Thank you." ”
The night is dark.
It was already a night's journey, and everyone was tired, so Sang Shu asked everyone to go to rest in advance, and as for the people in this tribe, they would wait until they woke up tomorrow to make a decision.
Before going to bed, Sang Shu added a few more ropes to the man's body, so that he could sleep peacefully.
-
The next morning, before Sang Shu woke up, she heard Jiang Jiang's voice outside.
Sang Shu came to her senses and jumped up from the bed.
When I ran into the yard, I saw Jiang Jiang jumping off the horse in dust.
"Girl, I went to the nearest village, and as soon as the villagers of their village heard me say about Mihe Village, they were terrified, saying that Mihe Village was contaminated with dirty things, and the whole village was killed."
Sang Shu breathed a sigh of relief, "It seems that the other villages have not suffered for the time being, so that's good." ”
Thinking about it, Sang Shu looked at the tree with the person tied, "We already asked clearly last night, the one who started was a tribe, and this person is the ...... of the tribe What about people?! ”
Sang Shu didn't see anyone, only the ropes that had been untied under the tree.
Her face instantly turned pale, "Jiang Jiang, go check everyone!" There is no one less. ”
Jiang Jiang realized that the situation was wrong, and hurriedly began to look for each room.
Sang Shu subconsciously walked towards Rong Ash's resting room, and when she opened the door, the room was empty, and there was no figure of Rong Ash at all!
Sang Shu's pupils shrank, and her hand grasped the door frame, "Rong Ash!" Did anyone see where Ember went? ”
