Chapter 19: Human Sacrifice

The twilight wind is bleak and cold, and the snow is like light smoke.

Huitian dances with the waves, and the flowers are full of branches when they bloom.

Wind Forest Town ......

Yue Fan stood in "Wind Forest Pavilion", watching the snow falling, flying all over the sky, and his thoughts were confused......

From joy to sadness, from hope to loss, what has fate changed? There is hatred, and I have never given up, all the way to the present, apart from hatred, what is in my heart?

took out the bamboo flute, Yue Fan held it in his hand and stroked it for a while, full of emotion......

The flute sounded and resounded throughout the night.

......

It is like the mournful cry of the night sky, telling the heart of heaven and earth...... Nameless thoughts, turning a thousand times but not knowing where they are......

"Di~~~"

The flute stopped abruptly, and it was not half finished.

Sadly, Yue Fan felt someone coming, was slightly stunned, and then quietly left......

Now what he needs is calm!

......

Not long after Yue Fan left, a figure flashed, and the dust incense appeared in the pavilion.

"Gone!?Why did he only blow half of it and leave?Did he find me coming?" Chenxiang was full of doubts, and looked at the snow around her, there were no footprints, and there was no trace of any residue, and the word "no trace" couldn't help but come to her mind.

Chenxiang sighed softly, I don't know why, there is an inexplicable loss in my heart. She really likes this song, but people have gone away. Perhaps, fate is really destined!

――――――――――――

Thousands of miles away......

Xiangyang City, Tianxiang Building.

In the backyard, the old bustard looked around vigilantly, and after making sure that no one was following, he turned around and walked towards a side room in the corner.

The candle is lit and a man sits behind a screen, making it impossible to see his true face.

The old bustard stepped forward lightly and said respectfully: "Young master, the deputy leader of the Wulin League was assassinated, I believe that this time, the contradictions between the three forces will be even more intensified......!

The man waved his hand to interrupt and said lightly: "You told your father that if you put aside the rivers and lakes in advance, they are all ants making trouble, and they can't affect the overall situation." Jianghu, soon there will be a new situation...... Our goal now is to control the army, what is the situation on the little sister's side?"

The bustard replied, "Miss has formed an agreement with Luda and is deploying to annex other rebels...... However, I heard from the young lady that Li Yuefan left a kind of battle formation for the 'Yasukuni Army' before leaving, which was very powerful, so the plan may have to be postponed. ”

"It's Li Yuefan again, hum!" The man's voice was cold, and the old bustard's forehead was so frightened that cold sweat broke out, and it seemed that she was afraid from the bottom of her heart.

"Forget it, Li Yuefan, I will deal with it, you notify the little sister as soon as possible. I've endured it for fifteen years, and I can't wait any longer!"

After a pause, the man said again: "How about the 'furnace ding' I asked you to prepare?"

The old bustard hurriedly said, "Twenty-seven pure yin women have been found. ”

"Not bad. The man nodded and said in a deep voice: "Remember, this matter must not show the slightest trace, otherwise, death!!"

"Yes, yes, the subordinates know, the subordinates know. ”

"Looks like it's time to take a trip to the Sunflower Pie. ”

Seeing the man behind the screen disappear, the old bustard quickly wiped his sweat and breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

Alas~~ It's not easy to be an old bustard!

......

――――――――――――

The sky was snowless and the clouds were hazy.

Chenxiang and Xiaorou took advantage of the morning road, and after half a day of driving horses, they had a hundred miles of journey.

"Sister Chenxiang, the mountain in front of you is in Shanxi, and the two days ahead is Datong City. Now the one guarding the border is Di Qiuran, the 'general of Zhengwu' in Datong City, who is a good official. I also heard that ...... "Xiao Rou talked eloquently, as if she knew everything very well."

A person next to him was chattering, and Chenxiang was not annoyed, but listened carefully. Xiao Rou's innocent expression made her smile heartily!

Suddenly, a figure rushed into the middle of the road, and then slowly fell, splashing a cloud of dust and snow.

"Oh no, there's someone up ahead!

"Woo~~", "Hiss-"

The two turned over and dismounted, and stepped forward to check the situation.

Lying on the ground was a young hunter, dressed in a tattered padded jacket with patches all over his clothes, which he had sewn and mended an unknown number of times. The rough face was tired, gasping weakly, and it seemed to be tired.

......

At the slope wall, the young hunter opened his eyes suddenly, and found two strange figures in front of him, and immediately moved away vigilantly.

"You're finally awake!"

A soft, sweet voice came into his ears, and the hunter remembered his situation, and then realized that the other party should not be an enemy. Rubbing his eyes, and looking closely, it turned out to be two women with extraordinary temperaments.

One of the women wore a silk sand on her head, exuding an aura of holiness, comfortable and warm. The other woman, who is not very old, is delicate and cute, always has a mischievous smile on her face, and looks harmless to humans and animals.

"Please, who are you, did you save me?" the hunter breathed a sigh of relief, his voice dry and hoarse.

"Of course!" Xiao Rou straightened her chest and said, "If we hadn't happened to pass by and saved you, I'm afraid you would have been taken away by a jackal, and even if you weren't taken, you would have to be buried in the snow." Hehe~~"

The hunter arched his hand and said, "Thank you two girls for saving your life, I will remember Tu Lei for the rest of my life." ”

"Tu Lei doesn't have to be like this, it's just a gesture. Seeing that this person's words were resolute, Chenxiang smiled slightly.

"Thank you!" Tu Lei thanked him solemnly again, and then stood up reluctantly.

"Tu Lei, where do you want to go? You're too weak to move around. Seeing that he wanted to leave, Chenxiang opened his mouth to persuade him.

"No, I still have something to do, I have to leave......" Tu Lei stubbornly shook his head and walked forward, but he had just woken up, and his body was already overdrawn, and this situation seemed to be unsteady before he had reached three steps.

Dusty Fragrance released a soft aura to hold Tu Lei up, which saved him from falling.

"Hmph!" Xiao Rou wrinkled her nose and said, "You really don't know how to do it, Sister Chenxiang doesn't listen to your advice, you deserve it!"

Sitting back on the stone, Tu Lei covered his head and sighed, the expression on his face full of the word "pain".

Chenxiang couldn't bear it, and said gently: "Tu Lei, what's wrong with you?" Let's hear it and see if we can help you." ”

I don't know if Tu Lei heard what Chenxiang said, he just shook his head vigorously, and the painful expression on his face did not decrease at all.

"Sister, look at her like this...... Really!" Xiao Rou turned her head away angrily, too lazy to pay attention to it.

......

After a while, Tu Lei stood up again, still wanting to leave, but he didn't take a few steps and fell again, this time Chenxiang didn't help.

"Boom-"

Falling into a snowdrift, Tu Lei got up......

"Boom-" took two steps and fell down.

......

Once, at one time, he simply crawled on the snow.

......

"You, why are you so stubborn!" Xiao Rou's nose was a little sour, she had never seen such a stubborn person, or rather strong.

"Sister Chenxiang......" pulled Chenxiang's sleeves, and Xiaorou's heart was about to melt.

Chenxiang shook her head and sighed lightly: "Tu Lei, where do you live, why don't I send you back?"

"Home!?" Tu Lei's body trembled, and he lost his mind and said, "Home, where do I still have a home...... My father and mother are dead, and even my sister can't be saved, and I still have a home, where is there a home!

The eyes of loss, tears like frost. Tu Lei knelt in the snow screaming and roaring, but unfortunately he was still powerless to recover.

“......”

"Sister Chenxiang, he's so pitiful, let's help him!"

After thinking for a moment, a white light was born in Chenxiang's hand, and then it entered Tu Lei's body.

Feeling that his strength was gradually restored, Tu Lei's spirit was lifted! Happiness came so suddenly, was it a surprise or an illusion.

"How can this be? How can this be?" Raising his head and looking at the person in front of him, Tu Lei realized that these two women were legendary martial arts masters.

"Master, Tu Lei, please, save my sister, please, please......" Tu Lei suddenly knelt down! Yes, without the slightest hesitation, he knelt on the snow, and kept begging for the dust incense.

The man has gold under his knees, even if there are tears, he does not flick.

Some people may despise Tu Lei's behavior, some people may disdain it, and some people may scold it. But Tu Lei did not regret his decision. Because few people know what a person desires most when he is desperate.

No matter who the other party is, whether it should be or not, as long as he can give himself hope, Tu Lei will not care about his dignity. Because, his sister is dying, and that is his only relative now, the only relative!

The second daughter of Chenxiang was a little caught off guard by this sudden request, and hurriedly picked up Tu Lei and said, "Don't do this, if you can help, we will definitely help you, get up first." ”

Tu Lei couldn't kneel, so he had to work hard.

"Master, I ......"

Chenxiang interrupted: "Don't be like this, my name is Chenxiang, this is my sister Xiaorou, you can call us by name." As he spoke, he led his hand to Xiao Rou to the side.

Tu Lei saluted heavily before he said, "Dust girl, Xiaorou girl, in fact, I am the Orion ...... in the mountain village in front."

After a while, the second daughter of Chenxiang knew the reason for the matter.

Tu Lei's family of four lived in harmony and peace, but more than a month ago, many strange things happened in their mountain village, first the poultry decreased day by day, and then a few women disappeared inexplicably...... Later, the Taoist priest found the broken bones of his family on the mountain, and said that the mountain god was angry, and asked everyone to honor the mountain god so that they could be safe.

If it's just like this, it's nothing, it's just a trick to deceive people on the rivers and lakes. But after hearing it, Yichenxiang's heart couldn't help but move with killing intent, and Xiaorou was even more furious!

The Taoist priest not only asked the mountain people to donate money, but also said that he would use maiden girls to sacrifice him, so as to appease the anger of the mountain gods! Most of the people of the mountain people were ignorant, and the Taoist priest said this, and of course they believed it.

Human nature is sometimes selfish, who wants to send their children to death? So several old villagers discussed for a while, and finally found Tu Lei's sister Tu Ling. Because their family lived in the mountains and had no friends, naturally no one spoke for them. Moreover, the Tujia is a hunter, and hunting will offend the mountain god, so the villagers naturally put the responsibility on the Tujia.

Originally, Tu Lei wanted to settle accounts with the Taoist priest, but he unexpectedly heard him talking nonsense after drinking. What filial piety, what "living sacrifice" are all fake, and his purpose is to cheat money and sex......

Tu Lei originally wanted to find the village chief to theorize, but who knew that the Taoist wicked man sued first, and bit Tu Lei back, saying that he didn't want his sister to sacrifice and wanted to kill everyone.

Under such circumstances, of course, the village chief listened to the words of others and led the villagers to the slaughterhouse to get people. In the resistance, Tu Lei's parents unfortunately fell off the mountain rock and died, Tu Ling was kidnapped, and only Tu Lei escaped......

This is the scene where Chenxiang and them save people.

It's not that Tu Lei didn't think about reporting to the official, but is this useful? Let's not talk about whether anyone will take care of such a trivial matter in this troubled period, even if the government is willing to come, Tu Lei's sister will still have life after this journey? Now only the second daughter of Chenxiang is his last hope!

......

"Sister Chenxiang, we ......"

"Don't say anything, it's important to save people. ”

For Chenxiang, although the affairs of the frontier are important, they can't ignore such a situation.

This is the principle of Dust Fragrance!

......

......

In Baishan Village, hundreds of people are around, and in the center is lying an unconscious girl with her limbs tied behind her back......

It was getting dark, and torches were lit around.

A Taoist priest with a peachwood sword in his hand and a white lotus flower in his mouth walked around the crowd, still muttering something in his mouth.

After a while, the Taoist priest walked up the mountain with the girl in his arms.

......
