Chapter 8 Advent
The extreme west of southern Xinjiang is a remote place, with countless swamps and bushes, which is really a dangerous place. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Due to geographical constraints, successive emperors have never set up state capitals or yamen here, so the imperial court has very little control over this place.
Moreover, this place is shrouded in miasma all the year round, there are countless poisonous insects and beasts, and there are many evil people who have not been enlightened and drink blood, ordinary people, unless they have to do so, will never set foot in southern Xinjiang for half a step, even if they are masters of the Heavenly Dao.
......
In the depths of the barren forest, the sun and the moon are lightless.
At this time, on the altar in the center of the tribe, a silver-decorated girl folded her hands, kneeling in prayer, her empty eyes full of despair.
Beneath the altar were kneeling "savages" of men and women, all of whom were swarthy, with loose hair and even more rudimentary clothing, but each of them had a very reverent expression on their faces, and their mouths were full of words, as if they were begging for something.
......
After a while, the leader of the savages stretched out his arms and shouted, "Fire God bless, my people are well...... Abundant prosperity and eternal bliss......"
"The sacrifice begins...... Ignition!"
At the sound of the order, torches were lit around the altar, and the high flames shone on everyone's faces, dispelling the fear and chill in their hearts, and bringing them courage and warmth.
"Fire!"
"Fire, fire, fire!"
The temperature of the flames was getting higher and higher, and the girl in the center of the altar was printed red all over.
Seeing that the girl was about to be burned to death, at this moment, the sky suddenly darkened, followed by thunder and lightning, and a violent storm and rain.
In the face of this sudden change, instead of being frightened, the wild people here jumped up with great excitement, as if they were holding some kind of grand party.
Under the pressure of the torrential rain, the fire at the altar gradually went out.
The rain hit the girl's face, and the pain disappeared, and a glimmer of brightness gradually regained in her eyes. However, before the girl could come back to her senses, the ancient altar was immediately enveloped by an inexplicable force.
The white light patterns formed a wonderful pattern, and everyone below stopped moving, looking at the altar in amazement.
No one knows when the altar was built, only that it has existed since its birth, as if it had been a long, long time, and that they had never seen such a spectacle in all these years.
"Boom!"
White streaks of light suddenly erupted, and a huge wave of qi rushed towards the face, knocking the people below to the ground.
Everyone hurriedly looked over, only to see that after a burst of strong light, a huge phantom appeared on the altar.
"Fire ...... The god of fire has appeared!"
I don't know who shouted, and it immediately ignited everyone's passion.
"Vulcan Manifestation!"
"Vulcan manifests! Vulcan manifests!
"Fire!"
"Fire, fire, fire!"
......
In the center of the altar, a naked man stood in the air, his flamboyant hair glowing with a faint purple light.
He looked down indifferently, like a demon god high above, his purple-gold faint gaze swept over, and the crowd fainted.
Everyone was shocked and inexplicable, and the leader realized that he and the others had forgotten to kneel down and worship.
"Welcome to the Vulcan Lord on my people!"
"Welcome to the Demon God-sama—"
"Welcome to the Demon God--Welcome to the Demon God--"
With the leader in the lead, all the people fell to their knees and shouted incessantly.
......
As soon as the man's eyes closed, his violent momentum subsided.
Just when everyone was feeling relieved, the demon-like man slowly fell down, and happened to fall on the sacrificial girl.
Everyone was stunned, and their eyes turned to the leader.
......
――――――――――――
Running in the dark, moving forward, falling and falling.
A glimmer of light fell, Yue Fan woke up from the darkness, he slowly opened his eyes, and what imprinted into his mind was an unfamiliar environment, and the air was filled with a faint fragrance of grass.
It's not an ancient area, it's like the inside of a tree.
With a flash of thought, Yue Fan sat up, and countless images of memories came to his mind, especially everything that happened in the Hongmeng Palace......
He first accepted the baptism of the so-called source of Hongmeng, and his body underwent earth-shaking changes, and then he replayed a piece of buried history in his mind, and finally the four Great Venerables and Murong Aohan struck a blow together, knocking themselves into the abyss of prohibition......
But why are you here?
Just when Yue Fan fell into silence, a young girl walked into the tree house with a wooden basin.
"Ahh......h Vulcan-sama, are you awake!?"
The girl's exclamation interrupted Yue Fan, who was in deep thought, and hurriedly put down the wooden basin and stepped forward to kneel on the ground.
"Vulcan, who are you, what is this place?"
Yue Fan raised his hand slightly, and an invisible force lifted the girl up.
This girl looks twenty-eight years old, her appearance is delicate and pure, and her silver makeup highlights her beauty, but she is a complete beauty embryo. Looking at the girl's face, Yue Fan had a slight impression that it was the girl who appeared on the altar.
"I ...... I ......"
The girl looked so frightened that she couldn't even speak clearly.
Yue Fan frowned when he saw this, and he didn't want to embarrass the other party, so he waved his hand lightly and said, "Okay, you go out." ”
"Huh?"
When the girl heard this, she quickly knelt on the ground again, and kowtowed desperately: "Don't drive me away, don't drive me away, I will serve the adults well, please don't drive me away......"
The girl knew very well that her fate was in the hands of the adult in front of her. At that time, if it weren't for the "God of Fire" who came out of thin air, if it weren't for the leader who let him serve the "God of Fire", maybe he would have been burned alive. Now when she hears that the adults want to let her go, how can she not be nervous, you can imagine what miserable treatment she will suffer if she is despised by the adults.
The girl cried and shouted, Rao Yuefan was hard-hearted, and not only sighed.
After thinking about it, Yue Fan immediately understood the girl's inner thoughts, so he said lightly: "Get up, girl, you can stay, but you have to answer me a few questions." ”
Hearing Yue Fan's words, the girl really stopped crying, but she still curled up and looked at each other in fear.
"What is this place?"
"Back to ...... Back to my lord, this ...... This is the hinterland of southern Xinjiang, the Huoyin tribe. ”
The girl answered Yue Fan's question in a hurry, and then quietly glanced at the other party, but she was silent.
Just when the girl was nervous, Yue Fan spoke again: "What's your name?"
"Ahh......h
The girl obviously didn't expect the other party to ask for her name, and said in a panic: "Back to my lord, I'm ...... The slave's surname is Mu, and her name is Mu Jinzhu, and her mother said that Jinzhu represents auspicious ......"
Speaking of this, the girl hurriedly lowered her head, and tears fell uncontrollably.
Mu Jinzhu is the daughter of a businessman in Yunnan City, she should stay at home and enjoy the warmth of her family, the love of her parents, and the brilliance of youth...... Unexpectedly, the situation changed abruptly, and the officers and soldiers made chaos, resulting in the destruction of her own family, and she ran all the way to the protection of her subordinates, but she strayed into the territory of the Huoyin clan and was taken captive to worship.
"Get up!"
Yue Fan sighed and personally stepped forward to help the girl up, but the latter didn't dare to resist, but his body trembled with fright.
"How long did I sleep?"
"Adults slept for three days and three nights......"
Mu Jinzhu hesitated for a moment, and said hesitantly: "Clan...... Long said, the adults have just arrived here, and they need to recover, and they must ...... Requires Virgin Essence Blood...... Slaves, slaves and maids are here to serve adults. ”
After the girl finished speaking, she went to bed and lay down, clasped her hands to her chest, and closed her eyes tightly, as if waiting for the final verdict.
Seeing the girl like this, how could Yue Fan not understand what was going on, and suddenly a wave of anger surged into his heart.
When did it begin, how humble is a person's life? How low is a person's dignity? Is this a troubled time? Without strength, there is no qualification to resist, and unfortunate people like Mu Jinzhu will do it every day, but who can save them.
Mu Jinzhu waited for a long time, but she didn't see any reaction, so she quietly opened her eyes and secretly looked at Yue Fan.
In fact, the girl's mood at the moment is very conflicted, on the one hand, she does not want to lose her innocence, and on the other hand, he feels that only by becoming an adult woman can he save his life. This is the weakness of human nature, but it should not be blamed, and seriously speaking, she is just a child sleeping in sixteen or seventeen.
"Adult ......"
Mu Jinzhu bit the corner of his lip and was about to speak, but Yue Fan directly interrupted: "You get up, I don't need this, you can just follow me." ”
"Yes, yes. ”
Getting up from the bed, Mu Jinzhu nodded hurriedly, secretly relieved in his heart, feeling that this "adult" was much kinder than he imagined, at least not as ferocious as the Fire Yin Clan.
"I'm going to go out and have a look. ”
Yue Fan greeted and walked towards the outside of the house.
