Wu Dongfang didn't turn the copper cake back into a magic staff, he didn't remember the style of the copper staff, so he could only turn it into a copper stick, and he picked and carried things to the village.

Mingwan's house is at the head of the village, the house that was repaired back then is now very dilapidated, there is no one at home, the door is open, Wu Dongfang took the cloth and Miliu, grabbed the wine jar with a copper stick and walked to the center of the village.

After Styx left, another sorceress took her place, living in the same house she had lived in, and at this time the people of the village gathered around the house, and a masked sorceress stood on the eaves with a staff in hand.

In front of the house is an open space, a group of ** year old boys and girls are standing in the open space, in front of them is a table, there are two jars on the table, the children are stepping forward one by one to take something from the jar, the boy takes the west one, and the girl takes the east one from the jar.

Drawing lots, Wu Dongfang immediately guessed that these children were drawing lots, and it was not a good thing to decide by lots, otherwise the adults would not be pale and sweating nervously.

The eyes of the villagers were focused on the open space in front of the house, and no one noticed his arrival.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Wu Dongfang touched a tall man standing on the periphery.

The man turned his head and saw that it was him, and was surprised, "I haven't seen you for a long time, where have you been?"

"What are you doing when you go out for a walk?" Wu Dongfang asked, Shen Zhen and the others would definitely not talk nonsense about his arrest, and even if they did, they would not tell these villagers living at the bottom. Note: Character anti-filter to watch the latest chapters

"Pick the sacrificial children. The man looked at the child in the clearing, and obviously didn't bother to talk to him.

"Sacrifice, to whom?" Wu Dongfang asked.

The man didn't answer.

"Ask you, who are you sacrificing?" Wu Dongfang touched the man.

Wu Dongfang was very popular in the village back then, and everyone liked him, so although the man was impatient, he still turned his head and replied, "Tiger God." ”

"What tiger god?" Wu Dongfang asked again.

The man didn't answer.

Wu Dongfang saw that he was absent-minded, knowing that there might be his children in that group of children, so he didn't rush to ask, but shifted his eyes to the field, there were more than thirty children in that group, a little more boys, the lottery process ended quickly, a man and a woman were selected, the witch shook her head and turned in circles, chanting while turning in circles, and after tossing for a few minutes, she took out a small stone mortar, which may be cinnabar, and the witch bit the tip of her tongue and spit a few mouthfuls of bloody spit into the stone mortar, and then smeared it on the faces of boys and girls。

"Is the sacrifice a sacrifice to give the child to the tiger to eat?" Wu Dongfang asked the man.

"The Tiger God will take their souls and protect our people. "That man's child was not chosen, and he had the heart to talk to Wu Dongfang.

"Isn't this still for the tiger to eat? whose idea is this, she?" Wu Dongfang stretched out his hand and pointed at the sorceress.

"This is the will of the White Tiger Holy Witch. The man said.

"Huh?!" Wu Dongfang frowned and tilted his head.

"Where have you been all these years? We miss you so much, and we talk about you a lot. The man asked.

By this time, the villagers' meeting had ended, and the two children were brought into the house by the wizard, and the villagers began to disperse.

"I'll talk about it later," Wu Dong turned around and walked towards the east, waving at Ming Wan who was walking away from the crowd, "Wan, are you okay?"

When she heard someone calling her name, she looked up at Wu Dongfang, and was very happy to see that it was him, and walked over to him with the child in her arms, "Where have you been all these years?"

"You gave birth to another one?!" Wu Dongfang was a little surprised.

"yes, it's still a son. "It's a skill to be able to live, and Mingwan is not shy.

"What were you doing just now?" Wu Dongfang looked at Ming Wan, women give birth to children and age quickly, and there have been a lot more wrinkles on Ming Wan's face in recent years.

"You don't know?" asked Stygian.

"How do I know?" Wu Dongfang shook his head.

"Every few years we have to sacrifice to the Tiger God, and this year it's time to sacrifice again, and the wizard is just now choosing the children to sacrifice. You're with a wizard, didn't she tell you?" asked Stygian.

"I didn't say it. The Tiger God is the Xijin White Tiger?" Wu Dongfang asked.

"I don't know, is the wizard okay?" asked Styx.

Wu Dongfang knew that she was asking about the Dark Moon, so he nodded and said, "It's good." ”

"Come and be a guest at my house. "Invited.

"No, I'll find a man to drink, and by the way, I'll bring you some linen and grain, and put them next to your door." Wu Dongfang declined Mingwan's invitation, the reason was that her man was looking at them unhappily not far away, some problems can be changed, some problems can't, and this kind of problem can't be changed in a lifetime.

"Go ahead. "Invite again.

"You're busy," Wu Dongfang waved his hand at Mingwan, and then greeted a few men who came over, who had a good relationship with him in the village and often drank together.

"Take it, I'll go get a sheep back. Wu Dongfang stuffed the wine jar to the two men, patted the shoulders of several men one by one, and turned around and walked into the woods with a stick.

Now it's easier to catch a sheep than a devil to catch a chicken, and I came back with a goat in about ten minutes.

Most of the people in the village knew him, and knew that the prey he brought back would be distributed among everyone, and when he was happy, he said a lot and made a loud noise, and the witch in the house was alarmed, and left the house and came to see what was going on.

Seeing Wu Dongfang sitting on the ground, the sorceress was stunned.

"He's a friend of the old wizard, and a friend of ours. A man went over and bent down to explain to the wizard.

"You go back first, I'll look for you later. Wu Dongfang waved his hand at the sorceress.

The sorceress did not turn to leave, but knelt down on one knee, put her hands on her knees and bowed her head, "Great White Tiger Heavenly Master, please accept my bowing." ”

As soon as these words came out, there was silence all around, and everyone's eyes were focused on Wu Dongfang.

"I said, in the future, mages and wizards will not be allowed to kneel, if you like kneeling so much, you will always kneel. Wu Dongfang looked at the sorceress with dissatisfaction, all the wizards of the Jin clan went to the Heavenly Master's Mansion to worship him, and they all knew him, he let this sorceress go back and was afraid that this guy would salute him, once his identity was exposed, the villagers could no longer treat him like before, this guy was really uninteresting, not only saluted, but also knelt, over, there was no atmosphere.

The villagers reacted slowly, and only then did they react, and they fell to their knees with a hula.

"Don't throw the meat away. Wu Dongfang stepped forward and grabbed the leg of mutton that the villager had taken off, "Get up, you are my friends, you don't need to kneel to me." ”

The villagers did not dare to get up, and they did not even dare to raise their heads.

"Rise up, all of you. Wu Dongfang waved his hand at the sorceress.

The sorceress got up in panic, and when the villagers saw the sorceress standing up, they dared to stand up with him, and after standing up, they consciously retreated around, not daring to approach him.

"Stew the meat, I'll come back and drink with everyone in a moment," Wu Dong said to the group of men, and after speaking, he walked north, walked next to the wizard and said, "You come with me." ”

The sorceress followed him nervously, Wu Dongfang walked to the big house where she lived, pushed open the door and walked in, only to see the two children already lying on the wooden bed in the northwest of the house.

"Who asked you to pick the children?" Wu Dongfang pointed to the children on the wooden bed and asked the wizard, these two children are still breathing, they should have drunk herbs such as ecstasy and fell asleep.

The masked witches are all unmarried, and this guy may not be very old, Wu Dongfang stunned her, "This is your will." ”

"Fuck off, when did Lao Tzu give such an order. Wu Dongfang scolded.

The sorceress didn't understand because Wu Dongfang used a modern language.

Scolding is not a good habit, but scolding can vent the negative emotions in the heart, and if you want to scold without scolding, you will hold the negative emotions in your heart, and it will easily cause distortion and perversion of the mind over time, making people extremely insidious.

After scolding, Wu Dongfang was in a much better mood and calmed down, this sorceress didn't have the courage to fake the holy decree, and this matter was probably an order from them to hide it from him and use his guise to do so.

"Who gave you the order?" Wu Dongfang sat down from a chair, raised his hand and pointed to the chair opposite, and motioned for the wizard to sit and speak.

"Three great witches. "The witch didn't dare to sit.

"When?" Wu Dongfang asked.

"Four days ago, the night we left the capital. The sorceress replied.

"How many children are you looking for, what is the tiger god?" Wu Dongfang asked again.

"You don't know about this?" asked the witch timidly.

"I haven't been back for a long time, and I don't know much about some things. Wu Dongfang replied ambiguously.

"Sixty boys, sixty girls, the tiger god is an ancient god who appears every few years to receive our sacrifices. The sorceress said.

"Is the Tiger God the White Tiger Divine Beast of the Jin Clan?" Wu Dongfang asked again.

The sorceress shook her head, "No, I've never seen it, I've heard Daddy say that the Tiger God is a yellow tiger." ”

"Is there an age requirement for these 120 children?" Wu Dongfang asked.

"Seven to twelve. The sorceress replied.

"What tribes do these children come from?" Wu Dongfang asked again.

"Gneiss and cardinite. The sorceress replied.

Wu Dongfang nodded, the gods at this time are not the gods that modern people know, but anyone who has a way, whether it is a person or a monster, even ghosts and zombies are regarded as gods by them, these "gods" are not all good, the duty of the wizard is to fight against the evil gods, protect the people of the Jin clan, he once asked the Stygian, what should I do if the wizard can't beat these evil gods, the Styx said at the time that only sacrifices can be offered to them, this so-called tiger god should belong to this situation, is an evil tiger spirit.

This tiger spirit should be very powerful, so powerful that the three heavenly masters of the Jin clan dare not provoke, the Jin clan has six tribes, and the three of them only choose children in the two tribes of Mashi and Kashi, probably because these two tribes are very remote, and he is not easy to hear the wind.

"Where are these two children going to be sent?" Wu Dongfang asked.

"Sent to the Kashi tribe. The sorceress replied.

"When will the sacrifice begin?" Wu Dongfang asked again, Kashi is located in the north of here, and in the entire territory of the Jin tribe, the Kashi tribe is in the northwest, and the Mashi is in the southwest.

"We are only responsible for sending the child over by the evening of the day after tomorrow, and I don't know when the sacrifice will start or where. The sorceress said.

Wu Dongfang nodded, stood up and walked out, "It's very remote here, life is very hard, in the future, the men on the mine will have a day off every month, you take them out to hunt, fight some beasts back, let everyone have meat to eat, and I will let them reduce the amount of ore they excavate." ”

"Thank you, Holy Witch. The sorceress followed.

"Look at the good things you did, people were scared away. Wu Dongfang pointed to a few pottery urns in the distance, but the meat was cooked but ran out.

The sorceress bowed her head in shame, "Holy Witch, don't you know about the sacrifice?"

"It's been too busy for me to remember any orders, it's okay, what you should do and what you do, don't tell other villages and tribes that I've been here. Wu Dongfang walked the steps.

"Yes. The sorceress nodded in agreement.

"How old are you?" Wu Dongfang asked.

"Twenty. The sorceress replied.

"I'll transfer you back in a while, it's not easy for you to find a husband here. Wu Dongfang said.

The witch nodded happily.

Wu Dongfang walked to the pottery urn, took out half a leg of mutton with a spoon, and carried another jar of wine, threw the copper stick into a copper cake, and sat down with the leg of mutton and wine.

"Divide the meat, I'm leaving. Wu Dongfang waved his hand at the stunned sorceress and drove the copper cake back to the east.
