Chapter 4 Probably for the sake of sacrifice

The team of the palace set off early in the morning, and seven or eight hundred people, together with a large number of cattle and horses, lined up in a long line, leaving the east gate of Changyang Town, and heading east to the temple fair.

Nothing else was fine, but the destination made Shen Qing care a lot, it was a village located in the mountains, a village called Luojia Village.

"I remember, the lame young man who gave me the slate seems to be from the Inner ...... of Dalong Mountain" Shen Qing listened carefully to the words of the steward, and it was only at this time that the masters of the Wang family conveyed the relevant information about the destination.

It is said that they will go to Luojia Village to participate in the temple fair, and eventually pay homage to a statue of the immortals, so that the masters of the Wang family will have the opportunity to obtain the immortal fate.

Although there is little hope, every ten years, countless people will flock to it, but very few people can obtain immortal fate.

"In the depths of the entire Dalong Mountain, there are dozens of villages like Luojia Village, and each village has a temple of the immortals, and the statues of the immortals are enshrined in the temple."

Along the way, stewards at all levels were instilling in them about the temple fair.

Although, some of the news had already spread among the servants, and everyone's face showed yearning.

Shen Qing was relatively calm, but his gaze had already become extremely deep, he looked at the mountains in the east, and fell into a long silence.

"Immortal ......," Shen Qing muttered in a low voice.

At this time, the steward surnamed Zhang, who was in charge of Shen Qing and them, mysteriously threw out a major news: "It is said that our master's family came out of Luojia Village many years ago!" The Wang family can prosper so far, and Master Wang can have children and grandchildren everywhere, just because he got the fairy fate back then! ”

Wow!

There was an uproar.

"It's impossible, since Master Wang has obtained the immortal fate, why don't you become an immortal?" One of the servants exclaimed.

Steward Zhang enjoyed a shocked gaze with satisfaction, and scolded, "How do I know? Maybe our master has seen through the red dust? ”

Shen Qing silently kept the news in his heart.

The long procession continued to move forward, from morning to evening, encamped, and walked for six days in a row before coming to the foot of Dalong Mountain.

This mountain is a mountain full of mystery outside Changyang Town, and there are many specious mysteries surrounding this mountain every year. For example, the haunted ones, such as the Demon Cave Heaven located here, such as the strange monsters living here, the most famous is undoubtedly the immortal who came to the world a hundred years ago.

In short, it is very mysterious, and the residents of Changyang Town have an attitude of awe, and they will not easily enter the interior of this mountain.

The closer they got to Dalong Mountain, the more depressed the entire Wang family's team became, and the expressions of the stewards gradually became serious.

"Shen Qing! Roll over!! ”

A long, shrill shout.

Shen Qing's face moved slightly, and he immediately ran to the ground with a deliberate exaggeration and courtesy that could be detected.

"Young master, you can think of me." Shen Qing said excitedly.

"Hmm." Wang Dakuan poked his head out of the carriage, looked at Shen Qing for a long time, took out his whip and shook it, his face tightened: "Young Master Ben told you that you must follow ...... for a while."

At this time, other children of the Wang family scolded him.

Wang Dakuan's face shook and waved his hand: "It's none of your business, get out!" ”

"Young master, you can call me if you have something."

"Get out of here!"

Shen Qing, who had been whipped, retreated silently.

There was deep thought in his eyes.

Next, although he was in the ranks of the servants, he kept his eyes on the team in front of him, focusing on the carriages full of food.

Sure enough, after this team entered the Great Dragon Mountain, the temperature plummeted, and something strange happened on the first night.

"Sanzi, hand me a mattress, but I'm freezing to death...... Three sons? Are you dead asleep? Why is it so slippery and hot...... Blood! It's blood!! Help, there's blood here!! ”

A scream suddenly pierced the night sky, and the people in charge of the night patrol quickly rushed over, illuminated by a large number of torches, and their faces suddenly changed, and they gasped, and their minds roared.

Originally, the place where the servant was covered with only blood!

The servants next to him were all sleeping in the blood water, and at this time, Fang opened his eyes in a daze, except for the screaming one, everyone else was unaware.

What makes people's scalp even more numb is that there are all kinds of marks on the bloodstains, similar to scratches left by fingers, as if someone had gone through a long period of frantic struggle before dying.

A child of a famous royal family threw a torch into the distance, and found nothing but the endless dark mountain forest. The heart-wrenching silence, as if unknown eyes were watching them, a vicious stinging of their throats, and they couldn't breathe.

The next day, the third day, it continued, and every night there were people missing, and there was blood everywhere. What's even more terrifying is that the number of missing people is increasing dramatically every day, and the scope of blood and water on the ground is also expanding wildly.

The situation got bigger and bigger, and the servants were panicked, because those who disappeared were the servants at the back of the line.

"We want to see the master!"

"Bastard! The lord's status is noble, and you servants can see it casually? My lord and his relatives are here, what are you afraid of? ”

The stewards were also frightened, but they still tried to maintain order, and from time to time a strong and strong child of the Wang family appeared, calming his restlessness with a serious face, and sometimes he even fought and killed several servants.

But it didn't work, there would still be people and livestock missing strangely every night, and the traces left at the scene were extremely hideous and terrifying, and every missing individual was suspected of going through a painful struggle, and only after being brutally blooded left a large amount of blood stains in the same place.

Especially the deeper they go to Dalong Mountain, the more serious this phenomenon becomes, and people feel that there are countless pairs of vicious eyes, monitoring them at all times. Faced with this strange situation, Shen Qing also became extremely cautious, especially when one night, just after closing his eyes and squinting for a while, and then opening his eyes, he realized that he was already lying in a pool of blood!

Without any warning, without any notice, dozens of servants around him disappeared in one go!

When people were panicking, Shen Qing held back the chill that surged in his heart, counted, and estimated his location, and found that ...... If there were a few more people who disappeared, he would be one of the blood.

It can't go on like this! Be sure to find a way!

This kind of thing...... Master Wang, who stayed in the carriage and did not show up all the time, must have known that this kind of thing would happen, and he had participated in many temple fairs in the past few decades......

"How so? I've never heard of such danger in this mountain! ”

The servants wept and mourned, and lived each day as if it were their last.

Shen Qing's face was extremely gloomy, and he sat in the team of servants without saying a word, but the coldness and treachery flashing in his eyes couldn't be faked.

His biggest character trait is enough sanity, and when everyone is panicking and cursing, he has already begun to think wildly about the possibility of breaking the game, at least, to break the game and break free from this damn situation!

"Don't blame me......" Shen Qing's eyes showed fierceness and got up.

The dark tide is surging.

One night, the sneaky figure got up, and they finally made up their minds. Especially the servant who served a young master, he even copied the pig-killing knife and broke out, planning to take some nobles hostage and turn back.

"Die! Either return to Changyang Town now, or everyone dies together!! The five big and three thick servants were hoarse, and waved their knives indiscriminately with a hideous face, "A servant like me can't live, and you nobles will die with me!" ”

After the shock, a very small number of servants showed a fierce light in their bloodshot eyes, screaming that they wanted to take the children of the Wang family hostage and flee back to Changyang Town, they didn't want to die!

"Little master, you can come with me!!" An elderly servant suddenly pounced on Wang Dakuan, who had just gotten off the carriage.

Shhh

Blood splattered, and the older servant clutched the cut on his neck, his eyes widened, and he collapsed in despair.

Shen Qing, who was lurking here at some point, slowly put away the bloodstained kitchen knife, turned to Wang Dakuan, who was scared stupidly, and said respectfully: "Young master, this thief has been killed by me, please rest assured, as long as I Shen Qing is by your side, no one can hurt you." ”

Wang Dakuan looked at the bones one meter away from him stupidly, stunned, and said in a trembling voice for a long time: "Okay, okay...... Shen Qing, you will follow me from now on, and you can't leave a single step! ”

"Yes, young master." Shen Qing said respectfully, and then followed Wang Dakuan's side, looking at everything coldly.

After all, this riot was brutally suppressed by the children of the Wang family, who were many people.

The dead were all dragged away by the children of the Wang family, and they were deliberately hung at the back of the line, dragging out a long trail of blood. By dawn the next day, the bodies had mysteriously vanished.

Undoubtedly, Shen Qing did it, he followed Wang Dakuan closely every day, surrounded by a group of Wang family disciples and a few servants, very safe. Wang Dakuan was also panicked, scolding Shen Qinglai from time to time to vent his depression and horror, his eyes were always bloodshot, and his emotions became more and more irritable.

Under this high pressure, the team continued to move forward, and every night a group of people disappeared.

"In this way, such a large team may be for ......"

Shen Qing tightened the linen shirt on his body, feeling the chill gushing out of his heart.

Presumably, it was for the sake of sacrifice......

In Dalong Mountain, there should be something that specifically monitors these outsiders, the deeper they go, the greater the danger they face, and at this time, they need some blood food to feed the belly of some jackals until they reach Luojia Village.

These servants, and even, when necessary, the huge members of the royal family, are ......

Shen Qing couldn't help but look at the front of the team, where a luxurious carriage was moving silently, surrounded by many, many people.

The head of the Wang family, Master Wang, was sitting in this carriage, and he never showed up from beginning to end, but there was a steady stream of orders.

"Steward Zhang said that Master Wang once got the immortal fate, but he did not become an immortal......"

Shen Qing touched his chin and felt that things had become interesting. Sure enough, fairy fate is not so easy to get. Isn't it just fighting for your life? In any case, he is next to Wang Dakuan, and the probability of survival is much higher than that of other servants.

The whole team is moving forward in such a panic, going deeper in this mountain, at this time, even if you want to retreat, you can't retreat, who knows what will happen after you are alone?

Shen Qing honestly followed Wang Dakuan's side, as close to the center of the team as possible, and finally, at the cost of about one-third of his life, the Wang family's team finally met a team from other places.

After the exchange, it was learned that the team came from Huangsha Town, on the other side of Dalong Mountain, but the target was not Luojia Village, but another village not far from Luojia Village.

The purpose is also to pay homage to the statue of the immortal.

The same people were panicked, losing a lot of manpower along the way, and they couldn't figure out why this tenth temple fair had become so dangerous.

"There are fierce beasts in this mountain! I saw it with my own eyes! ”

A person from Huangsha Town threw an explosive message towards the Wang family, causing an uproar and forcing the people of the two teams to gather together to keep warm.

Time passed like this, at the cost of human lives, and after two days of suffering, the Wang family's team and the team of Huangsha Town were separated, and they finally saw Luojia Village.
