Xilin County,

A girl in the prime of her life, who was carved in pink and jade, woke up from her sleep, rubbed her sleepy eyes, and stretched.

In the spacious room, every piece of equipment is quite exquisite.

It's like a rich family.

The girl walked barefoot on the ground and pushed open the window.

The mist of the mountains drifted slowly into the house.

The girl took a deep breath of the early morning mountain air, looked at the gray sky with a pair of big clear eyes, and then looked at the rolling mountains in the distance, and couldn't help but reach out to grab something.

It's almost August, but it's not so hot and dry on the mountain, on the contrary, there is a little coolness in the early morning.

The girl lay by the window, looking at the clouds flowing in the distance, feeling the oncoming wind, and the corners of her mouth gently hooked up a yearning smile.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Immediately after that, a voice came, "Goddess ......"

The girl's body couldn't help but tremble, and endless panic instantly swelled up in her big clear eyes.

She...... Can you finally get out of here?

The knock on the door sounded again, "Goddess ......"

There was some urging in his voice.

The girl's body trembled slightly, with fear and a hint of relief between her eyebrows.

"Got it."

The girl walked over to the closet and opened one of the compartments.

"Click, click......"

The mechanism in the dark compartment slowly opened, gradually revealing the gorgeous red dress inside.

The girl slowly stretched out her hand and stroked the red dress, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

She withdrew her shirt.

Then, one by one, put on this set of red clothes that had been prepared for several years.

Half an hour later, the sound of the mechanism opening the door was heard.

The girl has a phoenix crown and a red dress mopping the floor, like a person who has walked out of a painting.

She walked slowly out the door.

Outside the door, two maids immediately curtsied.

The girl looked to the side, and there was ...... Several young girls dressed like her looked at her in the same way......

"It's finally the day......"

The girl turned and walked out of the corridor where the light had entered.

What is the outside of the light?

She's never seen it yet.

There are eight girls like her.

A group of nine people, supported by the maid, finally walked out of the corridor.

In front of me was a long street, lined with low, simple houses, some of which were covered with thatch, which could be blown away by a slightly stronger wind.

And outside these houses, kneeling one ragged citizen after another.

The girl glanced back at the house where she had been trapped for thirteen years.

From the outside, it looks like a stone prison.

Looking at these people who fell to their knees, would their parents, who they had never met, also be one of them?

Thirteen years of waiting for fate.

Thirteen years of waiting for freedom.

Now it's finally here......

The stone-paved streets resemble a staircase leading to the shrine.

The girl could even see in the distance, the altar covered with red silk.

This road is the only way she can walk after walking out of the house in this life.

The girl took a deep breath and slowly took the first step.

……

The cloud boat landed at the Yamen of Wushan County.

Just left the backyard with Fan Zhenquan.

The people of the Southern Patrol Town Governor who were ordered to come are already guarding here.

The others in the yamen stood trembling and bowing their heads one by one.

"Your Excellency." Feng Budo stepped forward and saluted.

"Are all the spies out?" Li Changan nodded and walked forward.

"It's already been sprinkled."

"Make every effort to collect all the information in the three counties of Osan County." After Li Changan finished speaking, he turned his gaze to the others in the Southern Patrol Town Fu Division,

"Needless to say, the special features of Wushan County need not be said, you should hurry up and survey the terrain of the three counties."

"Yes." The people of the Southern Patrol Town Governor Division quickly received the order.

At this moment, Jun Cheng trotted all the way over, clasped his fists and saluted, "Big, my lord...... Oh no! ”

"The three counties of Xilin, Qutang, and Wuling are about to start sacrificing again!"

"And this time it's a separate sacrifice, saying that they want to take the dragon god to their own territory."

The atmosphere of the audience instantly froze.

Everyone who had not left looked at Li Changan one after another.

The murderous aura in Li Changan's eyes became fierce.

"Feng Budo, Song Siren, Zeng Shicai, the three of you will each lead a group of people, immediately stop the sacrifice, and save the people."

Fan Zhenquan on the side turned pale with fright, "Big, adult...... This matter has to be considered in the long run. ”

"Interfering with their sacrifices without authorization, once any problem occurs, it will trigger a backlash of luck."

"At that time, the luck of the three southern provinces will collapse."

"If you think about it in the long run, everyone will be gone." Li Changan waved his hand, "On the grounds of surveying the flood, stop the sacrifice." ”

"Whether there is a dragon god or not, this sacrifice must be stopped!"

Li Changan's eyes were murderous, "Pretending to be a ghost, Li is not used to him." ”

swept the faces of all the officials of the Zhenfu Division, "As long as the three county magistrates refuse to cooperate with the actions of our Zhenfu Division." ”

"Immediately withdraw all aid to the three counties of Osan County."

"Yes."

……

Li Changan left the yamen with the people of the Southern Patrol Town Fusi.

A group of officials in the yamen couldn't help but shrink their necks.

"This ...... This senator is so tough? ”

Jun Cheng looked at Fan Zhenquan, "My lord, will there be an accident if you do this?" ”

"Nowadays, the relationship between the two sides is sensitive and suspicious, and the slightest carelessness may lead to a reversal of luck."

"Are we going to hold back a little bit?"

Fan Zhenquan glanced at Jun Cheng, "You dare to stop it?" ”

"This senator may not dare to move the county orders of the three counties for the time being, but against us officials of the county government and yamen, he doesn't even need to report it."

"Don't forget how many officials he killed in the three southern provinces? How many houses have been copied? ”

Jun Cheng tightened his throat and sneered and stopped talking.

Fan Zhenquan shook his head helplessly.

This damn Osan County will not be able to leave for two years.

Except for him alone, everyone here was arranged by the following three counties.

A group of people ostensibly work for the imperial court, but in fact they are detached from morality.

Just talking to them made Fan Zhenquan feel sick.

Jun Cheng deliberately sent the news of the sacrifice back.

It's nothing more than wanting to try Li Changan's depth.

If even the chief official is weak and deceitful, and his hands are tied, then the Southern Patrol Town Governor is in Wushan County, and he is just a material to help with the work.

But I'm afraid that I will kill this county, and I am afraid I will not expect it.

Li Changan was so tough that he directly wanted to stop the tripartite sacrifice.

I don't even care about the status quo of walking on thin ice now.

……

The three-county festival is being carried out in an orderly manner.

Each prefecture uses the highest standard of sacrifice.

"In place."

After the sacrificial utensils were arranged, the officials and deacons performed four prostrations, washed, and took their places.

The deacon burns incense and bleeds.

Burning incense is to welcome the gods to the yang, and burying the blood is to welcome the gods to the yin with yin things.

"The ancestors thought that after death, the spirit belonged to the yin and returned to the earth, and the soul belonged to the yang, which was omnipresent, so the sacrifice was communicated with yin and yang."

The county commander is also Zhao Yunbo, the contemporary head of the Zhao family, and walked on the altar step by step.

"Playing music...... Welcoming the Dragon God ......"

The voice of the ceremonial officer resounded in all directions.

The words fell, and the unique sound of bells and drums slowly passed out.

Happiness belongs to the yang, and it is also to welcome the gods to the yang.

When the music is played halfway, God is in character.

Zhao Yunbo stood on the altar and bowed four times to welcome the dragon god.

"Laying silk, the first gift."

Nine pairs of boys and girls, led by Yinzan, walked up to the altar.

The sound of bells and drums continued.

Zhao Yunbo was in front of the throne, kneeling and laying the silk, laying the knight, prostrating and prostrating, and flattening.

The nine boys and girls also followed this step, meticulously completing it.

The girl looked at the Yingshen Platform not far in front of her, and her thoughts were mixed.

Two more steps, and I'm going to stand up.

The thought of running away rose in her heart, but it was quickly extinguished.

You can't escape.

Is there any other choice for her than to accept her fate?

At least her parents can get a lot of money for this, and they can live well.

"Yaxian."

Nine pairs of boys and girls took a step forward, laid their knights, prostrated themselves, and flattened their bodies.

"Final dedication."

As soon as these two words came out, the atmosphere of the audience froze.

The bodies of the nine pairs of boys and girls also shook violently.

No matter how you know your fate, you will still be afraid in the face of death.

The girl, led by Yinzan, was the first to lift her foot.

When you die, you are free......

"Smack."

A crystal tear slipped from the girl's big clear eyes.

Finally, I stepped on the Yingshen platform.

The dragon god's lock was slowly opened, and then the girl's pink and white long neck was put on.

Yinzan quickly left.

The girl took one last look at the countless kneeling people, and then slowly closed her eyes.

Under the Yingshen stage, there is a cliff.

The dragon god lock tightened little by little, then raised, and slowly lifted the girl.

The girl's breathing began to become rapid and difficult.

Death is looming.

That's all for this life, right?

Before the girl was unconscious, a thought flashed through her mind.

She hasn't picked a mountain flower by herself, she hasn't run on a mountain road, and she hasn't done a lot of things......

It's so windy......

But she couldn't hear it anymore.

The next moment,

The girl felt as if she was floating in the air, and the uncomfortable suffocation was gone.

It's like lying in the clouds.

Is this what it feels like to die?

The girl slowly opened her eyes and saw a pair of black and white Danfeng eyes.

And the concern and worry in those eyes......
