Blood sacrifices, also known as red sacrifices or blood sacrifices, generally refer to the slaughter of cows, sheep, horses, and other animals as sacrifices to the gods; Or use these animals to sacrifice and then slaughter. There is also a type of blood sacrifice called the "Great Red Sacrifice", which refers to the killing of the living as a sacrifice to worship the gods.

Blood sacrifice is an important part of the primitive religious sacrifice activities of the Tibetan ancestors. It is also an important form of sacrificial culture.

After Princess Wencheng married Songtsen Gampo and entered the world, the people were gradually educated, and the living sacrifice was gradually abandoned by the Tibetan people. Even if there were, most of them were sacrificed with the blood of animals such as cows, sheep, and horses.

And on Irabu Island, a small island on the southern coast of the Eastern Ying Kingdom, the original inhabitants who have lived here for a long time still retain the inferior custom of sacrificing with the blood of living people!

Xiong Yu couldn't believe what he had just seen and heard, and his head was a mess.

"And then, was my mother killed by them?" Sakurako asked with tears in her eyes.

"Nope. I heard from your father that the people Itoga took with him didn't come back for several days after going to the altar, and the islanders felt that something was wrong, so they found your master, Mr. Inoue Yamamura. So Mr. Inoue Yamamura organized a group of people to go to the altar to find it. This time, I also brought hunting dogs, but I couldn't find them after looking for them, so I had to give up and go home. As a result, a few days after I went back, Itoga came back, and this time it was your mother who came back. ”

"Oh my mother, she's not dead?" Sakurako said happily, "But, didn't Itoga always drag my mother to the blood sacrifice, why did they come back together in the end, and what about the others?"

"Sakurako, don't worry, listen to me slowly. To be exact, it was your mother who helped Itoga back. Itoga and you are covered with scars, your mother should be lighter, Itoga is simply a blur of flesh and blood, dying. In addition to large and small wounds all over his body, there was a deep, deep wound on his neck. Listening to your father, Itoga was a little delirious at that time, but his expression was frightened, and he said eagerly and vaguely in his mouth, Lion Lion"

"This is retribution, who made him so difficult for my mother?" Sakurako cursed.

"But how can there be lions living on the plains on this small island in the sea?" Xiong asked.

"I don't know. At the time, Taro also felt suspicious. Later, your mother also determined that the one who bit Itoga was the lion. They rushed out at once, and after a while, they all the dogs brought into the mountain were bitten to death, and when those people saw this, they dared to stay where they were and wait for death, and they fled in all directions without their lives, but where could the two legs of the people run past the lion, and after a while, they were chased and killed by the lion from behind. ”

In an instant, only Itoga was left in the crowd, and he was lying in a pool of blood and being toyed with by a lion, and it is said that animals often have a habit of being reluctant to kill their prey at once when it has been firmly controlled, but to play with it in front of them. ”

"Yes!" Xiong Yu affirmed Yagyu Saburo's statement, "I encountered such a phenomenon when I lived in seclusion with Master in Xuefeng Mountain in China before. It's just that instead of a lion, I met a wolf. ”

"I didn't expect you to have this experience. Liu Sheng Saburo exclaimed, "You Chinese, martial arts training is really not ordinary. No wonder you shot so fast. ”

"Hehe, if I hadn't done it quickly, I'm afraid I would have been bitten to death by a wolf. Xiong smiled wistfully. At that time, in order to exercise Xiong Yu's reflexes and shooting speed, Xiaoyaozi put Xiong Yu in the midst of a pack of wolves. Fortunately, Xiong has a high level of understanding and escaped this famine with difficulty.

"What happened? Sakurako is more concerned about the story of Itoga and her mother.

Yanagi Saburo said: "Itoga was played with by the lion with his claws, arched with his mouth, scared to death, and fainted, but suddenly saw a picture that surprised him, he saw those fierce lions, standing in front of your mother, but did not mean to attack your mother." Your mother was obviously frightened, and stared at them cautiously with all trembling and confronting them, but the lions kept standing two meters away from your grandmother, not taking a step towards her. ”

"Itoga suddenly didn't know where the spirit came from, mustered up all his strength, crawled to your mother's side, strange things happened, those lions saw Itoga crawling towards your mother, they just stopped there and watched for a long time, but never took a step forward, and finally they swished away. ”

"What?!" Kumasom and Sakurako uttered surprised voices almost at the same time.

"That's the way it is. Yanagi Saburo said, "These are all things that Dalang told me before he died. He also told me not to tell anyone casually, and asked me not to come back for the rest of my life after I left Irabu Island. Alas, I didn't expect that when I came back this time, Taro he was already "

Xiong Yu and Sakura also sighed when they heard it.

"Wait!" Sakurako said suddenly, "You just said that when my mother and Itoga came back, both of them were injured, and Itoga was naturally injured by a lion, so where did my mother's injuries come from? According to you, the lion never touched her fingers, could it be that she ......" Sakurako said this and did not continue.

"What's the matter?" Xiong asked.

"Could it be that those people hit them on the road?" Sakurako said.

Xiong shook his head and said: "This is impossible, I have read from the book, no matter which ethnic minority or feudal region customs, anyone who uses women or children to sacrifice to ancestors or gods, must ensure that the person is not injured, and some areas even have to ensure that the person is beautiful or a virgin, so that the ancestors can manifest." Therefore, since you are using your mother to sacrifice to your ancestors, you must not be able to hurt her. ”

Yanagi Saburo said: "Your mother's injury was when she walked out of the altar with Itoga on her back, because she had not eaten a grain of rice for a few days, lost her strength and slipped down the hillside, but despite this, the strong survival ** made her continue to support Itoga and walked back." ”

"And then?" Sakurako asked.

"Then there was no more. That's all your dad told me. I kept asking your father how your mother died in the end, and he didn't want to say. He didn't say anything until after I left. Instead, he gave me a tip to open it when I came back to the island one day. ”

"Where?" Kumayo and Sakurako said almost at the same time.

Saburo Yanagi took out a pale yellow and worn-out bag from his bosom and placed it on the dining table.

Yanagi Saburo said: "Originally, I wanted to take it secretly when I didn't leave the island, but when I thought of your father's trust in me, why didn't I keep the agreement? Until today, I returned to Irabu Island. ”

Yagyu Saburo said and slowly opened the bag. Kuma's and Sakurako's eyes widened, staring at the bag tightly.

Then the bag opened, and what came out was a golden hairpin and a small note.

Yanagi Saburo took the lead in picking up the note and read it in Japanese: "Yanagi Sang, after this farewell, I'm afraid there will never be a time to meet." There are three things that I, Taro Matsumoto, am happiest about in my life. One thing is to marry Mei Niang as a wife, and the other is to have my daughter - Sakurako. The third is to make you a good friend. Yanagi-kun, when you read the letter, I was already dead. Please take care of Sakurako for me. There is also this golden hairpin that is the insider's golden hairpin. Before he died, the inner man instructed me to keep it again and again, and not to lose it. I am afraid that after I die, I will be taken by the adulterer, so I will give it to you and hope that you will keep it closely. Thank you!Friend: Taro Matsumoto's pen. ”

When Yanagi Saburo finished reading, everyone sighed. Sakurako even took Yagyu Saburo's note and kept looking at it. After all, this is the relic of his father Matsu Jiro, and Sakurako cherishes it extraordinarily.

Xiong Yu picked up the golden hairpin on the table and kept gesturing: "Mr. Matsumoto Taro has always told him that this golden hairpin is very important. In my opinion, it is just my ordinary Chinese golden hairpin, and there is nothing special about it. ”

Yanagi Saburo said: "That's the thing, the more ordinary, the more special it is!"

Yagyu Saburo suddenly scolded angrily, he noticed that someone was eavesdropping, got up and walked out the door. But by the time he got to the door, the eavesdropping shadow was already a mile away.

Xiong Yu and Sakurako rushed out, but they didn't see anything unusual, and Sakurako asked, "Is someone eavesdropping?"

Saburo Yanagi nodded.

"You didn't catch it either?" Xiong thought it was incredible.

"He was very fast, and when I came out, he was already a mile away. Saburo Yanagi sighed.

When will there be such a good person in this Irabu Island? Even if it is Itaga, he will not know martial arts! The mystery surrounds the three of Yagyu Saburo, Kuma, and Sakurako layer by layer.

"What are we going to do next?" Uncle Yagyu. Sakurako asked.

Yanagi shook his head and looked at Xiong Yu.

Xiong smiled and said, "Next, eat—we have to eat and drink well!"

Saburo Yanagi laughed knowingly when he heard this.

"Why?" Sakurako was puzzled and said, "Are you still in the mood to eat?" I'm dying, like an ant on a hot pot, I don't know what to do." ”

Xiong said worriedly: "Even if we can't eat in a hurry, we have to eat and drink well." Xiong returned to his room.

"Why?"

"Because you don't eat and drink well, where do you have the strength to find the truth?" Xiong Yu picked up the chopsticks and smiled.

Sakurako was overjoyed and said, "Okay! You are going to take me to find the truth! I believe that my father and my mother will not die in vain." ”

Yanagi Saburo said: "It's time for things to come to light." ”

Sakurako asked again, "What are we going to do next after dinner?"

Xiong smiled and said, "After eating and drinking, of course, I go to sleep." ”

Sakurako said, "Sleep?"

Xiong said worriedly: "If you don't sleep after eating and drinking, how can you catch the bad guys?"

"You" Sakurako was stunned, paused for a moment and asked, "Why are we going when we wake up?"

Xiong said worriedly: "Go find someone, someone you know." ”

Sakurako said, "Who?"

Xiong said melancholy: "Your master, Mr. Inoue, the divine doctor of Irabu Island, Yamamura!"
