Chapter 725: Sacrifice

Zhao Mingli was quite honest and took out a wooden box from the back room.

The box opened, and inside was a thin pile of charms, about twenty of them, with the same charms inscribed on them.

"These talismans were given to the village chief by the Xuantian Holy Maiden, and the village chief handed them over to us.

"I don't know exactly what it does."

I pulled out a talisman, "Murphy, don't move, let me try."

Murphy looked a little strange, but he obeyed my instructions and stood up straight in front of me.

I took out three charms, the first one on the center of his eyebrows, the second in the middle of his collarbone, and the third on his lower abdomen.

All three spells fell, and I asked, "Can you try to break free?"

Murphy stared straight at me, and could only blink hard.

I ripped off one of the charms, and the remaining two spontaneously combusted.

As it burns, the lines on the spell become clearer.

Ordinary materials, a mortal, can seal me and Murphy, which shows that the charm has its own uniqueness.

I tried to follow the pattern of the spell, my fingertips running the spell mark.

Buzz Buzz –

The spells are portrayed over and over again, and the trajectory of the energy movement is more and more similar to the forbidden spell in the box.

Suddenly, a strong blue wind swept forward.

Zhao Mingli and the other three couldn't move at all in their extremely frightened eyes.

"It's finished!"

I was a little surprised, "I never thought that the Seal Forbidden Spell could be used like this!"

"With this kind of legal decision, there will be a lot of improvement in combat power in the future!"

I took out a wasteland crystal, crushed it with my fingertips, and inscribed a spell in the void with my fingertips, and pointed it on Murphy's brow.

Before Murphy could turn his mind, his body stiffened in place again.

It took about ten breaths before Murphy breathed a sigh of relief.

"Zhuge Qianlong, are you going to die!

"Next time you want to try this kind of bad trick, go find someone else to try!"

I asked again, "What is the essence of the Xuantian Holy Maiden in your mouth, and the more detailed you say, the better.

"If you don't report it, I'll send you to the Virgin!"

Zhao Ya hurriedly said, "Niangniang is our patron saint here, and we will make offerings to your Niangniang in Beibi Mountain for generations!"

"In addition to the tribute, there must be a woman to sacrifice!"

Zhao Mingli's muddy old tears were all over the place, "Among the 100,000 people, there are more than 3,000 suitable girls who draw lots every year!"

"In the early years, my daughter-in-law won the red lottery and was used as a sacrifice to her mother.

"My stupid son can't think of it, so he hanged himself at home!"

"How many years have passed, but I didn't expect bad luck to befall my family again......

After what happened last night, I really can't sympathize with Zhao Mingli.

Murphy: "Last night, I ran away from the altar, did the Xuantian Holy Maiden condemn you?"

"Yes!"

The old woman nodded in horror, "In the night, the lady was angry, and ordered the messenger to take away ten young men and women.

"Draw a red lot tonight and send the sacrifices, otherwise the mother will have to kill the ring!"

The two of them talked a lot, all about sacrifices.

I asked, "How much do you know about the identity of the Ghost King?"

Zhao Mingli: "Ghost King?"

Murphy: "That's what you call a mother."

Zhao Mingli and the old couple looked at each other, and couldn't say why for a while.

Seeing that I was getting impatient, Zhao Mingli was probably afraid that I would do it, so he hurriedly said, "The village chief is the servant of the Xuantian Holy Maiden, he must know everything!

I immediately got up, "Do you know where the village chief lives?

"Yes."

Zhao Mingli said indignantly, "I just came from the village chief's house. Because of my poor work yesterday, he took away all the food in our house, along with it

The mules were also pulled away.

"He also said that he would make amends for Zhao Ya marrying his stupid son!"

I'm not in the mood to listen to Zhao Mingli's family affairs, "Lead the way immediately."

Zhao Ya looked terrified, "Mr. Zhuge , the streets outside are full of scary dead people, you better not go!"

"It doesn't matter."

Zhao Mingli and his family are old, and they are a little in the way when they walk on the road.

I pointed at Zhao Ya, "You come and show us the way."

"When the matter is done, I spare these two old lives."

Zhao Ya immediately agreed, "Okay! I'm willing to atone for what my grandfather did!"

In the case of preparation, dealing with an ordinary person, there is no need for the two of us to go out together.

The Bone Spirit Horse can only sit down for two people, and one more is easy to expose the target.

Therefore, Zhao Mingli and his wife stayed at home and were guarded by Murphy.

I rode the Pure Bone Spirit Horse and set off with Zhao Ya.

When I went out and got on the horse, I held the compass in my hand and sensed the flow of the evil forces around me.

When the power of the yin in front becomes stronger, we immediately detour.

Walking corpses can judge people by smell, and the range they can sense is very small, only about 100 meters away.

Zhao Ya's face turned pale with fright, and her two hands were stubbornly pulling the mane of the pure bone spirit horse.

On the way, I saw many villagers who had gone out, and their necks had been bitten off by the walking corpses, and the screams were particularly terrifying.

The fallen corpse, after a while, will also become a new walking corpse and continue to wander in the mountains and forests.

Further on, almost every family must have it, and many people have placed tributes, incense and candles at the door.

I reached out and took a plate of pears from the offering table in front of a house.

The big white pear took a bite and was full of raw relish.

I was a little curious, "Ordinary people would have fainted in fright when they saw such a terrifying sight, or they would have fled with their families."

"How do I feel, you people here seem to be used to it."

The entire Beibi Mountain is very large, and there are more than 100,000 people living in it.

The ghost king wants to devour essence and blood and harm people, but his own strength is limited.

It's like a big stomach king eating crabs, no matter how big your appetite is, no matter how strong your strength is, there are very few things you can eat in a limited time.

The yang fire and divine soul power on the human body are the hard shell of the crab.

Once they gather in a group and flee, they will probably pay a dozen or twenty lives, and they will all be able to escape.

Even if the luck was better, the group of people gathered together, and the sun fire rose to the sky, so that the ghost king did not dare to invade.

The people in the mountains in the north are terrifyingly well-behaved, as if no one has ever thought of escaping from this matter.

Zhao Ya lowered her head and said in a somewhat lonely tone: "I am sixteen years old this year, and I have seen five or six times the scene of corpses everywhere and strange things happening."

"Some of them are because the villagers don't offer them in time, and some of them are paying tribute and running away, so the mother will get angry and kill a group of people."

"Isn't the offering timely?" I asked, "What other offerings do you have?"

"There are a lot of them."

Zhao Ya counted with her fingers and said, "On the first day of the new year, I want to send a pair of boys and girls."

"On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, I want to send a young couple who have been married for less than a year......

Zhao Ya counted for nearly five minutes, and I estimated that the Ghost King would kill nearly 100 people in the Beibi Mountains in a year.

I was amazed and asked, "Why don't you run?"

"Beyond the Beibi Mountains, although the vast desert is difficult to survive, at least no one will starve to death!"
