Looking for the traces of the ancestors, a grand sacrifice is in full swing. Dressed in shabby clothes, the girl Prajna hides behind a boulder in front of the temple, once again witnessing the sacred moment for the tribal woman.

This time, it was Hongluan who entered the temple with the warriors to receive the blessings of the Phoenix Goddess and the people. Hongluan is worthy of being the daughter of Zhurong's phoenix, and she looks like a country and a city.

Look at her! She is definitely the most beautiful girl in the world today, and it is not an exaggeration to describe her as wonderful.

After that, Hongluan will become a great mother, giving birth to a phoenix daughter who is as beautiful as her. Belch...... Or maybe it's a boy...... Even if it's a boy, it must be a handsome warrior.

The seventeen-year-old girl could not help but fantasize that one day, she would also receive the blessings of the goddess phoenix and the people and usher in a sacred moment, but who would he be when she walked into the temple together? He must be the best warrior in the tribe! Perhaps he was also the most handsome......

"Prajna ......"

The shouting interrupted the girl's fantasies.

"Prajna, what are you thinking?" Grandma, who already had wrinkles on her face, appeared behind her.

"I didn't ...... Nothing, Grandma. ”

"It's nothing, can you still think so engrossedly?" I screamed a few times and didn't answer. ”

"I was just thinking that Hongluan is so beautiful today, and her future children must be as good-looking as her. ”

"Yo, yes, when you have the Divine Tracks, you'll be even more beautiful than her, I promise. All we have in our bodies is the blood of the Xuanniao, which is the pride of the phoenix. ”

"Grandma was just as beautiful when she was young!"

"Hmm...... But compared to your biological mother, I am far behind! She is the most beautiful phoenix in the world. ”

"It's a pity," Prajna was a little puzzled, "I can only feel her presence from Grandma's mouth, but I've never seen her." ”

"Or maybe it's carved out of a mold!" Grandma comforted people, always spitting lotus flowers, "When she was a girl, she was exactly the same as you are now." When you grow up, look at yourself, and see your Eminem's face!"

Prajna suddenly sighed, "If you never grow up, how nice it would be!"

Grandma knew the sadness behind the girl's words, as a seventeen-year-old girl, she had never seen her mother's appearance, how sad it was.

Since he didn't have a mother, Pranya grew up eating a hundred family meals from ordinary people. Since she was a child, she has been bullied a lot, and several times, if it wasn't for her grandmother to save her, she was almost beaten to death by the children of the noble lord.

Just because she was born during the tengu eclipse day, and her Eminem also died due to difficult childbirth. Therefore, the clansmen considered her to be an ominous daughter, who was thrown into a ravine by a noble lord to feed wild beasts at birth.

However, she was thrown into a ravine and protected by a flock of birds of prey, and the beasts did not dare to approach her. A good Samaritan saw this and sent her home to raise her until she was three years old. That's it, a thunderstorm took the life of a good Samaritan, and the poor little girl became an abandoned baby again.

Before the age of fifteen, the little girl was an ugly duckling who was disliked by many people, and it was only in the last two years that she began to slowly turn into a little swan.

Pranya, who has been bullied since childhood, has a kind nature, and when she encounters injured animals, she will tear off a small strip of cloth from her shabby clothes to bandage their wounds.

She would carry water and firewood for the blind old man without asking for anything in return, and she would climb the branches to pick fruit for the children. But many times, kindness is not rewarded. The wild fruits picked were thrown away by the children's parents, not to mention, and they would be humiliated, claiming that she was an ominous daughter and that they should not harm their children.

Praruo, who is accustomed to being treated coldly, will not shed tears of grievance for a long time. Even, I feel that I am an ominous daughter who will kill many people. She felt that she had killed Eminem, who gave birth to her, and that she had killed the benefactor who raised her.

So, she did everything she could to do good deeds as much as she could, as a way to atone for her sins. Despite this, the reputation of the ominous daughter still lives on her. There is no reason why she was born at the time of the eclipse and killed her biological mother.

The reason why the girl listened to her grandmother's words and didn't want to grow up was that she didn't want to see what she looked like. Because she was not prepared, how to face Eminem who was killed by herself. She didn't dare to face herself, she didn't dare to face Eminem, who gave her life.

As I grow older, although my heart is full of fantasies about happiness, but after all, I am an ominous daughter, how can happiness befall the head of an ominous daughter?

Prajna advises himself, "Don't expect extravagantly, those good things don't belong to ominous women." That handsome warrior won't be in front of you, and they'll shy away from the ominous daughter. ”

The girls of the Zhurong clan are all beautiful phoenixes, but they are ugly ducklings with broken wings. There is no way, such a life is given by God, she can't choose her own birth, and she can't change anything.

"I am a little phoenix with broken wings, hiding in the mountains to heal alone. I'm an ugly duckling who no one feels sorry for, and I still sing loudly in the pouring rain. Don't come closer, don't come closer, where the ominous daughter passes, many people will suffer. ”

The most terrifying thing in the world is not the monsters and ominous daughters, but the hearts and prejudices of the human heart.

Whoever had a child with smallpox and died, it was cursed by the ominous daughter. Whoever accidentally falls off a cliff is cursed by the ominous daughter. In short, everything that happens bad is related to the ominous daughter.

Recently, a strange and strange incident happened, seven women who entered the temple on the same day, and seven baby girls were born on the same day, and all seven baby girls died mysteriously after only seven days of life.

The center of the altar has been stacked with a pyre, and the altar is surrounded by a sea of people, and the ominous daughter has been brought to the altar. She was tied up with five flowers, and her mouth was gagged, which directly deprived her of the right to make a defense.

After announcing the sins of the ominous daughter, the ominous daughter was burned at the stake as a tribute to the dead.

The crowd raised their hands and shouted, "Burn her ......"

"Burn this ominous daughter, burn this scourge ......"

Kneeling on the ground, Pranya burst into tears, she shook her head vigorously, wanting to say: I didn't do all this, it has nothing to do with me, please let me go, I am innocent.

But no one defended her, did not defend her, only Grandma silently shed tears in the crowd, pitying the poor girl.

Seeing that the heartless people insisted on shouting to burn her, the girl's heart was like a knife. She could bear all the sins of the real sinners, but she did not curse anyone. Even the people who bullied her repeatedly, she didn't even think about cursing them.

But there is the name of the ominous daughter, and she is not allowed to make a choice, and the existence of the ominous daughter is wrong. Only when the ominous daughter is eliminated will the calamity be eliminated and people will return to a peaceful life.

At the beginning of the sacrificial ceremony, the priest danced and spoke loudly. Dark clouds rose in the sky, pyres were ignited, and a raging fire burned.

The priest wrote the edict in blood on the face of the ominous woman and the word soul suppression on the chest. The four strong men lifted the ominous daughter above their heads, carried them onto the altar, and threw them into the flames at once.

Sparks flew and green smoke filled the air, and the fire instantly engulfed the ominous daughter. The ominous daughter, whose mouth was gagged, was burned alive without even wailing.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck the altar, and a deafening thunder struck the priestess and several executioners to death on the spot. The crowd was so frightened that they scattered at once.

Suddenly the rain poured down, and soon the fire was extinguished, and everyone left in a panic, leaving Grandma alone in the rain.

Grandma slowly walked up to the altar, only to see that the prajna in the pyre that had been extinguished by the rain had been burned beyond recognition, and there was not a single piece of good skin on her body.

Grandma found a white cloth and carefully wrapped Prajna's body. Grandma made a wooden sled out of a tree branch and dragged Prajna's body away.

It took a lot of effort for Grandma to move Prajna's body into the cave and place it on the stone platform. She hoped that the poor girl would have a good place to return and that her body would not be trampled on by wild beasts. Finally, Grandma bowed her head slightly to the body of Pranya, and then turned and left the cave.

Successive heavy rains, water droplets on the stalagmites on the top of the cave kept dripping on the body of the ominous daughter. The white cloth that wrapped the corpse was soaked, and it was gradually dyed blood.

Nine days later, the "blood cloth" wrapped around the corpse dried, and she moved a few times before rolling to the ground. Eventually, she stood up.

At this time, Prajna was covered with blood scabs left by burns, no hair, and even his eyes were wrapped in blood scabs. She wriggled around the ground like a bug, searching for food.

Half a month later, the blood scab on the body has basically fallen off. It's just that she has changed from a beautiful flower girl to a hairless leper and ugly monster. She stole someone else's clothes to hang outside, wrapped the ugly bald head in rags and left.

She walked all the way north, and the state behind her was getting farther and farther away from her. The beautiful ominous daughter is dead, and she is now an ugly monster who lives in secret. She steals melons and fruits like a wild beast, and even if she picks wild fruits, she is afraid of being bumped into by others.

Passing through the village, she tried to take a detour, because this would avoid the bears and children playing tricks on her, and avoiding the strange eyes of others. She didn't want to cause any more trouble for others, and she didn't want to be thrown into the fire and feel the pain of being burned by the flames.

She had heard people talking about plagues and ghouls in the north, and she was hesitant to continue north. But she felt that her life was no different from that of a ghoul now, so what was there to hesitate about?

In this world, the terrible sin is not the evil spirits and beasts, but the human heart. The sharpest thing in this world is not the sword, but people's prejudices. The sword kills and bleeds, but prejudice invisibly crushes people's bones and scatters ashes.

I can't imagine that the rest of the life after the catastrophe can go so far barefoot. Because his whole body was burned by the fire, the ice rain poured on his body, but he felt a scorching pain.

The scars left behind by the scabs were covered with a layer of gray scales. And for the next few days, she became a peeling ugly monster, shedding grayish-white dead skin flakes all over her body. In this case, it will last for half a month at least and two or three months at most.

After the dead skin flakes are shed, the dry skin will slowly crack and scab over. For the rest of the day, the whole body was covered in cracked gray scale shells.

In the first few days when the skin cracked, it hurt like a thousand knives, and it looked like thousands of insects were biting. Even the breeze blows like a knife.

Therefore, she simply wrapped all the exposed skin with a cloth, revealing only two eyes on the outside. It doesn't completely relieve the pain, but it makes her feel better.

But if you get wet in the rain, it's even worse. Therefore, when it rains, she will find a place to hide and wait for the sky to clear before continuing to walk.

Prajna can't help but think, is there anyone in the world who is more miserable than me? If it wasn't for that heavy rain, I would have been burned alive like that! In that case, I wouldn't have been tormented by pain every day like I am now.

Why did God do this to me? Could this be the pain of being an ominous woman? Maybe this is my fate!

No, it can't be like this, God can't do that to me. Since I can survive the raging fire, I must not bow to fate, I want to live strongly.

Thinking of this, she began to look for herbs to heal herself, even though she knew nothing about medicine. She would stuff the herb-looking plants into her mouth, chew them, put them on her hands, and wrap them up to see the effect.

Multiple attempts didn't work, but she wasn't discouraged by it. When she stuffed the herbs into her mouth again and chewed them, it made her dizzy and vomited and diarrhea.

On this day, she picked a plant that didn't look very common. I was hesitant to put it in my mouth, but I still tasted it as always.

The grass was bitter and spicy, and she spit it out immediately. But when she put her on her hands, it worked. With the addition of a phoenix-tailed fern, the effect is even more pronounced.

Through continuous attempts and summaries, she collected a lot of effective medicinal materials. She mashed the herbs and threw them into a small pool, then took off her clothes and went into the pool.

This bubble lasted for several hours, and it lasted for several days. The hard-shelled gray scales were softened by the bubble, and the cracked skin gradually recovered. The softened gray scales are like sweat mud wrapped around the body, and they are rubbed off with a light rub.

Although the skin has improved significantly, it is fire poison after all. If you don't expel the fire poison in your body, you will still be in pain whenever it is windy and rainy.

The external medication was tested by her, and this internal medication is a university question. If you don't get it right, your net worth and life will have to be accounted for there.

Prajna didn't think too much about it, but still followed the previous method and tasted the herbs with his mouth. Remember which medicines are toxic, which are antidotes, and which are good.

Prajna tasted the medicine while collecting it, and then traveled all the way north. At this time, more than three months had passed since she was thrown into the fire by her people, and it was already a hot summer.

And Pranya, who had traveled all the way north, had already come to the edge of the river. As long as you cross the river, you will enter the land of the Central Plains of Zhongzhou.
