||->->Chapter 5 Cannibalism

"Go in!" the inhabitants of the city walls suddenly shouted for joy, but there was a commotion and screams on the wall. In the top novel, several officials fell from the wall like gravel in the fight. The residents held torches and shouted in unison, "Let us in!" and "Open the city gates!" Under the blazing firelight, the sickly faces of the residents showed a strange red light.

After a while, the shouts of the inhabitants subsided, and the riots in the city gradually subsided. The residents' hearts were heavy again, and they didn't know what was going on there.

A pair of bloody hands suddenly poked out from the dark city, and then a person stood up on the wall, and he could vaguely recognize that it was the head of the big class "careful and fast" Li Dai. His hair was covered in blood, and his face was full of fierce light, as if he had been injured in the chaos just now.

Cai Yaoyang raised his head and shouted: "Li Bantou, now we are all people in the same boat, hurry up and let us in!"

Li Dai hoarsely said: "Let you in? We have all thanks to you today! Not to mention that if we let you go, we will rob us of the medicine man for healing, we will go into the city to find the medicine man to cure the disease, and you wolf-hearted and dog-lung things are only worthy of waiting for death outside the city!" he said, and waved his hand violently, and a corpse that had been chopped up to no human form rolled down, although it was not clear to see the face, but everyone guessed that it was the Huang Ah dog who was thrown into the city just now.

The hearts of the people were terrified, and they only heard the sound of footsteps getting farther away, as if the group of officials were about to abandon the city gate and go to the city. Cai Yaoyang was so angry that he pointed to the city gate and scolded him, and the other residents knew that there was no hope of being rescued, so they sat on the ground and cried bitterly.

Cai Yaoyang suddenly stopped scolding, turned around and shouted: "Shut up for me! Although the city gate is closed now, the arrow array at the head of the city is gone, how can a mere door panel stop us! Someone, hit me!"

As soon as he shouted, everyone suddenly felt that there was a life-saving straw, and rushed over frantically, hitting his head on the shoulder, and the one behind was even more headless and brainless, pushing according to the body of his companion in front of him.

A small remote county, and not a Jincheng soup pool, where can hundreds of people be allowed to collide like this? After only more than ten efforts, a big crack was knocked out, and Gou Yuhou led his subordinates to swords and axes together, and a burst of slashing suddenly opened a big hole one person high. The inhabitants rushed over, and the poor old and weak were trampled into meat before they could get sick.

There was a dead silence in the city, and the lights were dim, and it looked like there were people alive.

The residents finally fought to the death to enter the city, but they didn't see half a shadow. In addition, at this time, the poisonous blood attacked the heart, and everyone was frenzied, all of them were full of claws, their faces were hideous, and they looked around and sniffed, wanting to find someone to bite and eat.

Cai Yaoyang pointed to the north and sneered: "Just now those people went to the direction of the 'Sacrifice God Terrace' in the city, the dog official of Xi Qinggu and the residents in the city must be hiding there! Let's go bite people!"

"Sacrifice God Terrace" is the place where the residents of the city celebrate the festival and worship the gods, and the master of "Liuhua Temple" Wuhua has long sat here to arrest the murderers of serial rape and murder. There are more than ten zhang high from the ground to the platform, only a very narrow ladder can be passed, the platform is in the shape of a perfect circle, flat and broad, and can accommodate more than 2,000 people.

The high platform is surrounded by towering walls, and there are nine guard towers along the side, which store bows and arrows and food, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and is indeed the best hiding place in times of crisis. Cai Yaoyang is in charge of the county's military affairs on weekdays, how can he not know this?

Those residents are poisoned and bloody at the moment, their minds are confused, and their hearts are nothing more than the thought of biting and eating people, where are there other ideas, naturally only Cai Yaoyang is the first to look forward. In a moment, a group of people marched towards the "altar of the gods".

Leng Ruoya and Mei Chao frantically supported Sheng Jintang, and also followed Cai Yaoyang and his party to the "Altar of the Gods".

I saw a ten-zhang high platform towering, a thick stone pillar of the platform, ten zhang high, straight into the vast night sky, the pillar ** perched on a huge bronze flying dragon, standing high among the stars, making a long roar in the sky, the pillar body "green dragon pillar" three big characters in the starlight sparkling. The pillars add up to more than 20 zhang, the whole body is stone, magnificent and abnormal. Hugh said that in such a deserted place, even if it is placed in the Central Plains Metropolis, it can be called a momentary spectacle.

The fire on the stage was blazing, and the shouts were continuous. The officials on the roof are throwing rolling stones from the sentry post of the platform. The group of officials who were originally guarding the city wall were shooting arrows at the stage under Li Dai's order. Because the roof was too high, the feather arrows could reach less than half of the walls of the platform, but the rolling stones showed no mercy, and smashed the queue of officials in a few strokes. Li Dai's hands and feet were already injured, and while scolding, he personally grabbed the bow and arrows and shot them indiscriminately.

Cai Yaoyang laughed when he saw this, and went straight up. Li Dai turned around suddenly, the tip of the pitch-black arrow was aimed at Cai Yaoyang's chest, and he said angrily: "The surname Cai, you dare to play with me?"

Cai Yaoyang smiled unabated, stretched out his hand and gently pushed the tip of the arrow, and said, "Brother Li, don't misunderstand. You have also seen that Xi Lao Pifu has a favorable geographical position and strong armament, and it is not so easy to subdue, but at this moment, only you and I have joined forces to drive down the residents and officials on the high platform one by one. ”

Li Dai looked at him hesitantly for a while, and said, "What can you do?"

Cai Yaoyang smiled: "Your Excellency came over with your ears." ”

Li Dai took two steps back vigilantly.

Cai Yaoyang laughed and said, "You and I have been injured, are you still afraid that I will take the opportunity to bite Brother Li's ear?"

Li Dai hesitated for a moment, finally put down the bow and arrow in his hand, leaned over, and said, "Say it quickly!"

Cai Yao raised his chin and smiled, lowered his head and whispered, stretched out his right hand and patted Li Dai lightly on the shoulder. His gesture changed suddenly, and his five fingers fell on Li Dai's cervical vertebrae, and his wrist flipped hard, twisting Li Dai's body alive.

That Li Dai reacted, he had already been tricked, and he wanted to struggle in anger, but he had no choice but to be restrained and couldn't move, so he could only open his mouth and scold, greeting Cai Yaoyang and Cai Jing's ancestors for the eighteenth generation.

This change came and went, and the group of officials were so frightened that they didn't know what to do. At this moment, Cai Yaoyang waved his hand lightly, and his subordinates shouted, waving their knives and rushing towards the official. Cai Yaoyang's box soldiers were originally ruthless, like wolves and tigers, not to mention that once the official messenger was close, the bow and arrow would lose its effect, and they could only be slaughtered. In just a moment's effort, the official who had all the bows and arrows just now was slaughtered. Li Dai saw the tragic situation of his brothers and was helpless, and he scolded him even more.

Cai Yaoyang saw that the officials in the audience had been killed, and smiled sadly behind Li Dai's back: "If you don't die, I will die, and besieging the 'Sacrifice God Terrace' is an offense to the gods, so I have to use you and your men to sacrifice to the gods to atone for your sins." As soon as his hand was tightened, he only heard the sound of bones shattering, and the skin, flesh, muscles and bones between Li Dai's head and neck were actually separated by him, and his head fell into the dust with a "bone lu", and the blood was thrown in the dust, which was far away.

Cai Yaoyang twisted the headless corpse with one hand, snatched the bow and arrow from the corpse in his hand with the other, and shouted on his back to the stage: "You have no way to escape, if you obediently come down to be a medicine person, you can still leave a whole corpse, otherwise the end will be the same as this person!"

There was an exclamation from the stage.

The fire on the wall was flourishing, Ao Jintie led a group of officials to escort an old man to the wall, the old man was crowned with a long beard, standing at the head of the city and said in a deep voice: "Cai Yaoyang, your Cai family has been deeply blessed by the Holy Grace for generations, and this official treats you well on weekdays, I can't imagine that at this moment you actually instigated the foolish people to take the lead in rebellion, where is the conscience of heaven?"

Cai Yaoyang smiled coldly and said, "Master Xi Qinggu Xi, now that the plague is at the head, either you die or I die, these days the conscience of the adults, it is better to put it away." ”

The county magistrate Xi Qinggu said: "You have also been educated by a saint, and you actually believe in the nonsense of biting people to cure diseases! Throughout the ages, I have never heard of anyone who can be cured by passing on diseases to others. What are the benefits of biting each other apart from creating more sins? It is said that it is one for one, and the bitten person will bite again, and so on and so forth, and there will be no end, and in the end they can only die together, and no one can escape! Cai Yaoyang, although you usually have a bad heart, you are cunning and wise, how can you be bewitched by such rumors?

Cai Yaoyang laughed and said: "The county commander is in a high place, of course, he talks eloquently, you must know that these truths are useless for our group of people who are going to die, I only ask the adults one word, do you come down or not?"

Xi Qinggu said angrily: "Cai Yaoyang, you are not only mad, but you don't know the height of the sky, do you think that with just a few people, you can really break through the Shentai?"

Cai Yaoyang smiled compassionately, threw away the corpse in his hand, reached out and snatched a torch from the hands of others, put on a longbow, and shot an arrow towards the county order. Although the torch was heavy, it was faster than the feather arrow just now, and it had reached the eyes of the county commander Xi Qinggu in an instant.

Ao Jintie, who was beside Xi Qinggu, shouted: "Be careful, adult!" didn't care about offending, pressed Xi Qinggu's body down, and the two of them fell to the ground together, and the torch carried the sound of breaking the air, brushed over the heads of the two people, and landed on the stage.

Although Cai Yaoyang missed the blow, he did not show any discouragement, but laughed even more rampantly. It turns out that the platform is originally for sacrificial purposes, and there is a thick layer of thatch piled up on the ground all the year round.

Xi Qinggu was shocked and immediately ordered to extinguish the fire. It took a long time for the residents on the stage to barely put out the fire, but the green smoke was still curling, and once the night breeze came, it could rekindle at any time, and everyone's mood became extremely heavy.

These thatches have accumulated year by year, and they are already half a person thick, even if they are immediately thrown away from the stage now, it is too late. Cai Yaoyang has been involved in the county's confidential information for a long time, and he knows these situations well. He shot a small rocket, the platform is almost uncontrollable, if ten thousand arrows are fired, this rooftop is afraid that it will immediately become a sea of fire, and the resident officials live on the rooftop, like a turtle in an urn, there is nowhere to escape.

Cai Yaoyang waved the longbow in his hand and ordered his subordinates to use torches as arrows. He laughed maniacally as he stretched out his five fingers to count down. The clear blue moonlight illuminated his gradually wild face, and everyone's hearts sank deeper and deeper in this countdown—
