Chapter 208: Human Sacrifice
"Running in the Void, what's that concept?" Yan Yunting asked curiously.
Shen Kuo said: "We usually think that the sky can feel the wind and see the clouds, but in fact, outside this sky, there is another 'sky', called the 'void', it is said that it is pure white, there is nothing to touch, even time is still;
As long as the force is strong enough, you can open a hole in the sky, enter through the hole, and then come out of the hole, you can cross a large area of mountains and rivers, and spend a small amount of time, this is called running into the void; ”
Speaking of this, he looked at the Zhao Dan behind Yan Yunting and said: "When I was young, I was fortunate to see Su Lao Sword God, who opened the world with a sword and ran into the void, and what he was holding in his hand at that time was the Zhao Gu Sword behind your back;
Yan Shaoxia, since you have obtained the Guigu Peerless "Juntian Eighteen Swords", it stands to reason that you should know the mental formula of opening the sky with one sword, right? ”
Yan Yunting said bitterly: "I can't hide it, I only inherited the first eight swords in "Juntian Eighteen Swords", and the ten sword tricks in the back have not yet been seen. ”
Shen Kuo said with a smile: "Since the old sword god Su has entrusted Zhao Gu to you, it is only a matter of time before you get a complete Guigu mastery, they are such powerful old-timers, they have never finished things at once, they will generally be layer by layer, and when you pass his test, the ten swords will naturally appear in front of you." ”
Hearing Shen Kuo say this, Yan Yunting immediately thought of the white-haired old man who had repeatedly given books to Yunmeng Mountain, he didn't give away the sword technique of the last ten swords, maybe he really hadn't reached his test?
But don't be too anxious, Wei Yingzhou once said that even if he is an old sword god of Su, he has only cultivated the "Eighteen Swords of Juntian" to the twelve swords for more than four hundred years, Yan Yunting is only in his early twenties this year, and the road is still long, enough to learn, enough to practice.
……
The cable car climbed over the green hills along the cableway, changing three times during the process, and the road was unimpeded, and no trace of the poisonous person was found, but the strange thing was that the sky became darker and darker as it continued to get closer to Kunyu City.
This darkness is not the original alternation of heaven and earth, but the haze that has accumulated under the clouds, and even the Kunlun Mountain on the horizon has been obscured.
"Whirring ......" The whistling mountain wind is also mixed with a trace of yin.
After getting off the cable car, it has been considered to have crossed the most dangerous mountains, but the terrain of Sichuan and Shu is not too peaceful, and there are still rolling hills ahead, and you can reach the great plain outside Kunyu City by turning over this hill.
Several people felt the unusual nature of this mountainous area, and since it was getting late, they did not continue to hurry, so they stayed at the post station at the cable car connection point.
The post station has not been inhabited for a long time, but the living utensils are all complete, and Yan Yunting even found a few pieces of air-dried bacon in the back kitchen, as well as several large jars of wine, which is also a pleasure.
Soon, night fell, and the mountain wind became stronger, and for some reason, it was the height of summer, but the wind was so cold that it made people shiver.
Yan Yunting held a jar of wine and sat alone on the roof of the post station, paying attention to the movements around him all the time.
Shen Kuo jumped on the roof, Xu couldn't bear Yan Yunting to get drunk alone, and he was also carrying a jar of wine in his hand.
"It's so cold outside, Shen Zhutou should go in, it's enough for me to watch alone tonight." Although Yan Yunting said so, he moved out of the way.
Shen Kuo sat down next to Yan Yunting and said with a smile: "If you have strong liquor to drive away the cold, will you still be afraid of the cold?"
Yan Yunting said: "This mountain wind blows a little unusually, and it's not quite right. ”
Shen Kuo said: "After drinking this jar of wine, let's go and have a look." ”
"Where to look?"
"Go to a place where there are youkai."
"There are youkai in this mountain?" Yan Yunting couldn't help but be surprised.
Shen Kuo affirmed: "Yes, it's still only a monster with good strength, at least the demon king started, otherwise how could this wind blow so weird?" ”
Yan Yunting hurriedly took out a map and a pen, and drew a red circle on the position he was in, indicating that this place was very dangerous.
After doing this, he put down the wine jar, got up and said, "Let's go now, the sooner the better." ”
Shen Kuo smiled, drank all the liquor in one gulp, threw the jar, and flew into the depths of the valley: "Follow me." ”
Yan Yunting hurriedly followed.
……
When the two of them flew into the valley, a beating fire suddenly appeared at the bottom of the valley, as if it was a torch, as if it was a group of people.
"Take a standing."
The two landed on the ridge and quietly watched the movement at the bottom of the valley.
There were about twenty or thirty men in the group, each with a torch in their hands, walking in a vertical row, walking from the bottom of the valley to the mountain, most of them men, dressed as ordinary people;
In the center of the procession, four stout men carried a pig cage, and a woman was tied to the pig cage, and even her mouth was gagged.
"Mmmmmm......" The woman struggled desperately, crying with tears in her eyes.
"Hurry up, hurry up, or you won't be able to catch up." Someone urged.
The whole team picked up the pace.
——
"In our hometown, only women who steal men are soaked in pig cages, has this woman done something wrong?" Yan Yunting wondered.
"Look, around here, where is there a river that can soak in a pig pen?" Shen Kuo said in a deep voice: "These people are more like sacrificing living people. ”
"Sacrifice that youkai?"
"It's hard to say, let's keep watching."
——
Instead of climbing to the top of the mountain, the team stopped at a cliff in the valley, where four strong men lowered the pig cage and dragged the woman out, and then someone took out a shackle, one end handcuffed to the cliff pillar, and the other end to the woman's ankle,
Then, a group of big men began to pull out the woman's clothes.
"Let go of me! Let me go! The woman struggled desperately, but she still couldn't stand the crowd, and in the end she was stripped to only a fig leaf.
"It's all because of you, the demon girl, that our village has suffered, if we don't sacrifice you to the monster, it will kill all of us!"
The woman curled up on the ground, crying and shouting: "I'm not a demon girl, I'm a monk on Kunlun Mountain, you let go of me, that monster is the evil demon of the Nine Shadows, you can't help the abuse!" ”
"Kunlun Mountain? If you are really from Kunlun Mountain, why do you let monsters wreak havoc on our village? ”
"You demon girl, we shouldn't have saved you in the first place!"
"Don't talk nonsense with her, let's go, the monster is coming!"
The villagers tied up the women and hurried down the valley.
The woman gritted her teeth, grabbed the stone on the side, and tried hard to cut the handcuffs, but to no avail...... She could only look up to the sky and shout:
"Master! Brother! Where are you! Come and save me, help me......"
