really let this kid see the flaw, in fact, he can't blame Hua Cub for being too clever, it's the tiger baby himself who didn't pay much attention. After they got out of the car and walked so far, they didn't touch anyone at all, and they were suddenly attacked by Thor, and when dealing with this sudden situation, everyone naturally took the tiger baby as the leader. If it were an ordinary child in the village, he wouldn't think too much, but Hua Cub was obviously different.

Huwa tidied up her clothes and asked with a smile: "I'm just here to play, do you believe it?"

Hua cub nodded and said: "I believe it, I also like to run around and play, the farther away I have never been, the more fun I think, but unfortunately my ability is not big enough to run too far." ...... How do you want to play here?"

Tiger Baby: "It's just to walk around and see, I've heard a lot of legends about Jiuli, but I'm most interested in witchcraft, and I want to learn it if I have the opportunity." ”

Hua Cub's expression was as if he had found a treasure, and he looked at the tiger baby in surprise and said, "Do you want to learn the witchcraft of Jiuli?" Let me guess, have you been guided by the upper immortal family in the land of China, but you didn't succeed, so you want to try your luck with the Jiuli tribe?"

Huwa said noncommittally: "You just say if I have a chance to learn, right?"

Hua Cub: "The secret techniques of various tribes that have been passed down from generation to generation are of course impossible to teach you as an outsider. But if you follow the rules, you may be able to gain the favor of the witch gods and master the power of witchcraft. I can try to help you, just let me do you a favor, but you also have to do me a favor. ”

Tiger Baby: "What's the hurry?"

Hua Cub sighed, and suddenly became sad and said, "Not long after, it will be the joint sacrifice of Gu Li and Fei Li. The clansmen worship the Gu god and pray for blessings, not only to give a good harvest, but also to magical powers. As long as you can follow the rules and participate in the rituals, it is possible to master witchcraft.

But in this ceremony, there will be a man and a woman to sacrifice, and this year it is the turn of the Fei Li Department to produce a male baby and the Gu Li Department to produce a female baby. The girl chosen by the Great Witch. It's the little fragrance of our village. Can you save Xiaoxiang's life, it's really not good, let them replace it with someone else. Xiaoxiang is very scared, she will die nine times out of ten.

If you do me a favor, I won't reveal your identity, but I will help you cover it up. ”

Huwa frowned and said, "What are you talking about, let's go back and discuss it together." ”

In many primitive barbarian tribes, there is a custom of living sacrifice, such as the original in Bayuan. After the Yanzhao Liba Kingdom, this custom was banned by decree. And the land of China is vast. There are many large and small tribes, many remote tribes, and the custom of living sacrifices has been preserved.

The ritual of killing the living has existed since ancient times. For example, it is not uncommon for two armies to go to war, kill prisoners of war, or sacrifice flags to the captured enemy spies to boost morale. There are even more people who are arrogant and cruel, and kill slaves at will, such as the Shao Jiachen that Huwa met. Others were buried as slaves. But these circumstances often have little to do with formal sacrifices.

During the ceremony of worshipping the gods. The beheading of the living chosen by the tribe was a sacrificial ritual, a barbaric and murderous custom. Emperor Zhuan issued a decree to rectify the sacrifice, and in the name of the Chinese Son of Heaven, the ritual law of the sacrifice was uniformly formulated. It is also tantamount to prohibiting the living sacrifice traditions that are still preserved by the tribes.

However, in this remote place beyond the reach of the Chinese emperor, the Li tribe in the mountains still retains the tradition of living sacrifices, but it is different from ordinary living sacrifices. The festival is held every summer with the meaning of praying for a bountiful harvest. Fei Li and Gu Li jointly selected a pair of underage men and women to present to the Gu God at the festival.

The festival was attended by a large number of people, including young men selected by various tribes. Most of them were boys, just like the experience of the rushing bar when they were young, and they were all required to look the strongest and smartest on weekdays, and they deliberately received the blessings of the Gu gods in the ritual. These two children are carefully selected representatives, at the heart of the ceremony, and their endings are different from those of other children.

They will be blessed by the Gu God on the spot and gain magical power. In Huwa's view, it is equivalent to entering the initial realm and being able to cultivate. However, if they fail to succeed, that means they cannot withstand the power given by the Gu God, they will lose their lives the moment the ritual ends.

Unlike the other children who participated in the ritual, they had only one of these two outcomes, either to master witchcraft or to die on the spot. If they die in the ceremony, in the eyes of the clansmen, it is also a great honor, and if they dedicate their lives to the Gu God, they will also become noble creatures in the future.

Hua Cub claims to be a big man in the village, but it's not exactly bragging. At last year's festival, the Gu Li tribe selected a boy, this person was Hua Cub, he was blessed by the Gu God on the spot, and became a warrior in the tribe.

Such a person will be regarded as the successor of the patriarch of the village to which he belongs, and the Great Witch Gong of the Gu Li Department is also elected from this kind of person. After Hua Cub received the blessing of the Gu God, he not only mastered the divine power given by the Gu God, but also comprehended the divine power given by the Gu God in just one year.

These qualifications are astonishing, and of course they are valued in the clan, and their status is far higher than that of ordinary people. Although Hua Cub is still young, it is believed that he will become the patriarch of the village in the future, and may even become the Great Witch Gong of the Gu Li Tribe. Hua cub is rarely restrained, and can run around on weekdays, and even runs far away to Thor, and does not return to the village for several days.

The so-called supernatural refers to the keen senses that transcend ordinary people, such as hearing and seeing, perceiving all kinds of subtle traces, and even sensing things that ordinary people cannot find. The so-called divine power refers to the strength that surpasses ordinary people and has an exceptionally strong body. Both of these are very important, and brute force alone cannot solve all problems.

Hua Cub was introduced here, and said secretly in his heart: "Isn't it just that I entered the first realm first, and then broke through the second realm, what is there to be proud of, I am now complete in the four realms and nine turns, and I haven't blown it!" But these words were muttered in my heart, and I didn't say it, which can be regarded as saving some face for Hua Cub.

In fact, even Ji Gu had to admit that at Hua Cub's age, it was very rare to have such an achievement, no matter where he put it, and he could be called a cultivation genius.

Every teenager has all kinds of dreams in his heart, and dreams come from seeing and knowing. Hua Cub has always lived in the village of the Gu Li Division, and since he was a child, he has listened to various myths and legends in the tribe, and he also aspires to become a warrior blessed by the Gu God, a great witch who can call the wind and rain, and even a hero who can do everything in the legend.

He believed that if he was blessed by the Gu God, he would definitely be able to succeed. In fact, many people have this kind of self-confidence for no reason, which comes from the desire for life and life, thinking that they are different, as long as they can get a chance. When Gu Li chose a boy last year, it was Hua Cub who took the initiative to find the patriarch and begged him to choose himself as the special "sacrifice" in every possible way.

However, not all the most special men and women in the festivals over the years can be as lucky as Hua cubs, and the mortality rate is very high, and more than ninety percent of them can't survive. The girl from the Fei Li Department who participated in the festival with Hua Cub last year died on the spot.

If someone's child is selected, the parents' mentality will also be very entangled. The traditional belief in the tribe that has been ingrained since ancient times is that it is a kind of glory, and they should sacrifice their lives to the Gu God and obtain the blessing of the Gu God, but on the other hand, they will also feel worried and reluctant in their hearts.

The village where Hua cub lives is called Grass Village. Since there was a cub in the grass farming village last year, the girl from the Gu Li Department this year is still being selected in the grass farming village. People may think that Hua Cub has been blessed by the Gu God and succeeded, and the people around him may also follow suit, so the name of the girl he picked is Xiao Xiang, and she is Hua Cub's neighbor.

The villagers all express envy and respect for Xiaoxiang's family, which is traditional. As for Xiaoxiang herself, in public, she also said that this was her glory. A small child, I don't know if I really think so, or if I was taught by adults. But Hua Cub knew that if Xiaoxiang participated in the festival, she would definitely die.

So Hua Cub asked Huwa and the others to do a favor and try to prevent Xiao Xiang from participating in this ceremony, but if it didn't work, let Gu Li be replaced, or find another way to save Xiao Xiang's life. They are from the land of China, the noble upper immortal family, should have more ways than Hua cub.

Hearing this, Taiyi frowned and asked, "We can help, but how can you be sure that Xiaoxiang will definitely die?"

Hua Cub sighed like an adult and said, "I'm from here, of course I know it very well. The children selected from the original tribe were all required to be the strongest in body and the purest in mind to ensure that the Gu God could bless success. But Xiaoxiang is not, as far as I know, she had several illnesses when she was a child, and her health is not too good.

She was chosen purely because of me, I don't have many good friends in the village, I often only play with her, when I was a child, she often stole good food from home for me, and we had the closest relationship. The clansmen think that I have been blessed by the Gu God, and she can also be contaminated with blessings, anyway, nine times out of ten it will not succeed, so it is better to choose her to try.

Before I attended the festival last year, the Great Witch Gong had told me that I must let go of my mind and not think wildly, and I must not hesitate or waver in my faith, and I must be completely focused and sincere in order to succeed. And the children who died at the festivals over the years were because they had hesitation and doubt in their hearts, worried that they would not be able to bear the blessings of the Gu God. The more this is the case, the less likely it is to succeed.

What the Great Witch said was true, because I did. But even if you listen to what people say, it's hard to actually do it. If you are not like that, it will be difficult for you to control your mind, and if you can't integrate into the ritual calmly and purely, you will definitely fail.

A few days ago, Xiaoxiang quietly came to me. Her heart was very confused, and she couldn't figure it out herself, hoping to be able to obtain the blessing of the Gu God, but also worried that she would not be able to bear it and die like everyone else. Even though everyone said it was an honor, she was still scared and even had nightmares at night.

She only said these things to me in private, and did not tell anyone else. As soon as I heard her say this, I knew that it was bad, and that she would surely die as long as she participated in the ceremony. Even if you tell her how to succeed, it's useless, she can't do it!" )
