Chapter 254: Water Sacrifice Ritual
Thank you very much for your comfort and support to Ruoxu. So there's still love here. This love is everyone's friendship, and there is also Ruoxu's love for his own works [Isn't it a little disgusting to say this?]
Ahem, too much. If class ends early tonight, I'll come back for the double shift, thank you again for your support.
Lu Weijie heard that there was no magic around, so he relaxed a little, let Hei Yuqing hide in the grass to keep watch, and returned to the underground ancient building.
"How's it going?" Bi Fei asked when he saw Lu Weijie coming back.
"Everything was safe outside. Lu Weijie replied.
Huan Yuan nodded: "It seems that Pia, this bastard, still has some scruples about the ancient mansion." ”
"Pia ......" Lu Weijie reacted quickly after hearing it, this should be the name of the rebel careerist, but he still didn't understand what Huan Yuan meant, "What do you mean by having some scruples?"
Huan Yuan replied: "The ancient building leads to the ancient house where the heads of the family lived in the past. And the ancient house is the lifeblood of the cannibals, and there is a saying that there will be an accident if there is destruction. This Pia didn't dare to live or dismantle it, so probably people didn't want to get close, so it was safe. ”
"I see, then use this as our garrison point, which can be attacked and defended. Lu Weijie was satisfied, and beckoned everyone to take a look on the land.
On land, everyone couldn't help but take an extra breath.
Take Ye Wufang as an example, when she was a child, she had a nickname - "plant", which means that she is less active, but even so, she is very uncomfortable in such a low-oxygen environment in ancient buildings.
"Let's take a look around and see what's going on inside the cannibals. Lu Weijie commanded.
Everyone dispersed, but Huan Yuan was not included.
Huan Yuan, who didn't want to directly touch her previous memories, chose to stay where she was, while Lu Weijie accompanied her and asked by the way: "What happens to cannibals at this time?"
Huan Yuan forced herself to think for a while, and her white and tender face began to become more and more bloodless.
Lu Weijie was also a little unbearable to look at, and then wanted her to give up thinking.
But Huan Yuan replied to a big event: "The cannibals are thirsty for fresh blood, and at the same time, although the periphery of the Thousand Miles of Lost City is in direct contact with the desert, there is plenty of water, so the past generations have had a special worship of liquids, and among them, the cleanest water is the worst, and there will probably be a water sacrifice ceremony during this time." ”
"Water sacrifice ceremony, it sounds ......" Lu Weijie did not finish speaking.
Hei Yu Qinghuo ran over in a hurry: "Brother Weijie, there is a large group of people running to one place, it looks quite chaotic, should we sneak in and have a look?"
Lu Weijie thought for a while: "Abby and I are in a group, Ye Zi and Yuqing are in a group, two groups are dispatched, and the others are here to standby." If it causes a commotion, they will wait here, and they will gather here when they come back, but whoever does not return at dawn will leave and go to bring rescuers. ”
"Understood. Bi Fei deserves the fastest, he and Huan Yuan don't have to go out to make him feel that Lu Weijie is very considerate.
Lu Weijie glanced at the person who was going to travel, then put on a cloak and walked over the wall.
The four men immediately left the ground and followed the large army to a place between two mountains.
I saw everyone surrounding one of the hills, which looked rather deformed and steep. The four of them went up another smooth mountain.
Standing on the mountain and a certain distance away from the cannibal army, Lu Weijie said to Ye Zi and Hei Yuqing with peace of mind: "You go to the left and we go to the right, so that we can observe the whole process, and then go back and gather information." ”
"Understood. Ye Zi and Hei Yuqing quickly responded and quietly ran to the left.
Lu Weijie took Abby to the right.
It seems that the act of sacrificing water at the bottom is about to begin.
As the sun set, the light slowly dimmed, but the valley slowly glowed blue. It's like the moonlight reflected in the sea as a ship sails on the sea.
Then there were four big men with naked upper bodies, carrying a big tripod together and slowly coming out of the cave.
"This Ding ......," Abby suddenly reacted as she looked at the Ding that looked shiny in the blue glow, "It's our Ding." ”
"Your family's Ding?" Lu Weijie was a little puzzled, could it be that this cannibal is the Custer family? But Huan Yuan didn't say what "Huan Yuan Custer" was. Poof, it's pretty good.
Abby frowned: "Maybe our family has something to do with the cannibals, and they will use this tripod of our family to sacrifice water." This tripod has always been used to use living people as sword hearts to refine swords. ”
"The Living...... Kenshin ...... Sword refining ......" Lu Weijie connected these keywords, and suddenly remembered the previous mural about the evil sword in the ancient building, and had an ominous premonition, "Could it be that the evil is coming here to refine the evil sword?"
"It should ...... It can't be such a coincidence, right?" Abby still had a positive attitude, "They seem to be familiar with the maintenance of this ding, they should use it every year." Probably just custom. Let's move on. ”
Lu Weijie couldn't say anything more when he heard Abby say this, but he reserved a skeptical attitude in his heart.
"Knock, knock, knock!"
To say that one or two people can beat the drum in unison, it's not terrible. The scary thing is that everyone is like the same person, both the rhythm and the dynamics are just right.
Lu Weijie and the four of them looked at the cliff on the south side of the valley on the south side of the valley, and suddenly felt a little cracked, and the blue light spread faintly from the valley upward.
In the rhythm point, the people outside the valley slowly moved towards the valley, and everyone stood against the south side of the hill, and there were more and more people.
This made all four people hiding in high places have some tension.
But fortunately, the next part began to relieve their pressure - the drums began to crumble and crumble.
The people on the hillside took the clay pot in their hands and walked into the area surrounded by drums in the valley. In a certain order, all the clay pots are placed upside down on the ground around the big ding. Everyone quickly returned to the hillside to the sound of rapid drums.
As the last group stood on the hillside, the drums in the valley began to regain their slower, sometimes fast rhythm.
After two rounds of drumming, a beautiful phenomenon occurred, and the glow of the valley became concentrated.
"Poof!"
Suddenly, the clay pots on the ground were suddenly washed out of the fountain under the ground.
The drumming slowed down.
"Woo~Hey~" A shirtless man with a horned hat on his head on the cliff in the north suddenly shouted and jumped down suddenly.
"Sa, sa, sass, sass, ah~~" The people on the ground who beat the drum should get along.
The whole valley is filled with an air of mystery.
"Ah~Lilu~bar~Babble!" the man in the bull hat fell to the ground, knelt in front of the fountain and shouted.
"Ah~Lilu~Let's~Ayi's babbling~" The people on the hillside suddenly knelt down reverently and said in response.
And there were five or six people in the crowd who were indifferent and slowly walked down the hill. The number of them is the same as the number of clay pots that are lifted up by the fountain.
"Sacrifice...... Water...... Ding ......" Abby was saying something intermittently.
Lu Weijie raised his brows and asked in a low voice, "Abby, what's wrong with you?"
Abby held her head, her pupils dilated, and her eyes were full of fear: "This tripod is called the sacrificial water tripod, I'm afraid, their so-called sacrificial water ...... It is to sacrifice the living as a sacrifice to this ding. ”
"Such cruel ......" Lu Weijie sighed, but thinking that this is a cannibal, and they have a relationship with the demon race, it seems quite normal to be cruel.
The memorial service below is still going on.
The drummer stopped beating, and the valley fell silent.
