Chapter 256: Sacrifice
readx;
After eating and drinking, Fang Ming sighed with satisfaction, and saw that the old man was just drinking, occasionally eating a few dried tofu and the like, but he didn't move a chopstick to the chicken soup, and couldn't help asking: "Why doesn't the old man use it?"
"Hehe, this is your fateful meal, how dare the old man rob you?" the shriveled old man raised his head at this time, and the pity, fierceness, and indifference in his eyes continued to mix. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Absolutely...... Desperate meal?" Fang Ming was "shocked", and then his eyes were dizzy, as if he had fainted.
"Hehe, old Xu Tou is really lucky, with this, our village's share this month is enough!" a gloomy voice sounded.
"Why does everyone have to eat meat and drink wine when they come......? I haven't smelled meat for a long time!" Some people seem to be complaining.
"People are going to die for you, why don't you want to have a meal of wine and meat?
"Hey...... Uncle, you trick me, the one who was eaten alive by ghosts, where are there ghosts to do......"
Fang Ming pretended to be unconscious, and he heard a lot of voices, it seemed that they were all lying in ambush on the side, and they had been planning for a long time.
"What are you talking about? Hurry up and tie up the people and send them to the dungeon, tonight is the time of delivery, hehe, with this person, the head of our village is enough, and there is no need to leave the house again!"
"Old Xu Tou is right! Come on!
Several big men took out hemp ropes and tied up the faint scholar on the ground with all hands and feet, and the means were skillful, and it seemed that this was not the first time they had done this.
The big man tied up Fang Ming, and carried him to one place with a joint force, hehe sneered, closed the door and left.
As the door closes. It was suddenly dark inside.
Fang Ming's eyes opened, like stars.
And he saw that there were walls of dirt on all sides. It smells damp and smells of grass and trees. It appears to be a cellar.
In addition to Fang Ming, there were also a few sounds of breathing around, presumably the previous victims.
"How can the sacrifices that evil spirits need be chickens and ducks, only the living can meet their needs!" Fang Ming said with a sigh.
I already have some understanding of the practices of the villagers in this area.
They handed over living sacrifices to the ghost city of Xudu every month in exchange for the peace of the village and the ghosts. Even at the expense of framing the innocent!
"Actually, after all, it's all a group of poor people!" Fang Ming couldn't help but sigh when he thought of the numb faces of the people in the village.
"Is it tonight on the day of delivery?
Fang Ming's first reaction when he heard that Shi Longjie was encircling and suppressing the Nine Heavens Xuannu Sect was that the Xudu Ghost Army would also make a move, the defense here was empty, so it was just the right time to start!
Xudu is Shi Longjie's secret base camp, usually not only guarded by an army composed of fierce ghosts and ghosts, but also the wife of the ghost king of Xudu, it is difficult to sneak in without being discovered.
Although it is all over the city. If Shi Longjie was not there, no one would be Fang Ming's opponent, but once he was dragged hand and foot, let Shi Longjie come with a flying horse. At that time, the army will be surrounded, the yang world will be suppressed by dragon energy, and the ghost king and the army will take action in the underworld. Fang Ming could only be chased all the way out of Yizhou.
The breathing around was very low, and it seemed that the owner was also in a coma. I don't know how many ** drugs have been given.
"I don't know what happened to that black guy, don't cause any trouble and disrupt the deity's plan!" Fang Ming thought of this. A golden mang emanated from his hand and turned into a golden butterfly: "Go! Tell the black guy that as long as he is not disemboweled, he can only be a donkey and cannot resist!"
The golden butterfly nodded, and disappeared into the earthen wall in a flash.
Seeing this situation, Fang Ming was satisfied with his jaw, closed his eyes and rested, and waited for tonight's action.
Time passed unconsciously, the sun was sinking in the west, the cold wind was suddenly rising, and it was already night.
Squeak!!
The door of the cellar opened from the outside, and Lao Xu took the lead, drinking from time to time: "Hurry up, hurry up, move the sacrifices to the head of the village for the adults to collect!"
"I'll count at the door, don't miss it!"
"Oh, we know!"
Dozens of big men agreed, stepped forward to lift Fang Ming and the other captured pedestrians, and after passing in front of Lao Xu Tou for a while, they were carried out of the cellar.
"One, two, three...... Nine, ten! The number is correct! Carry it away!"
Old Xu Tou drank.
At this time, at the exit of the village, there was a black figure, and all the people in the village, regardless of men, women, and children, were all present.
At the front, Lao Xu Tou and a few big men were standing, surrounded by Fang Ming and those who were unconscious.
Now stimulated by the cold wind, a few of them have just come to their senses, drinking and scolding for money and murder, and they will not die well.
Old Xu frowned, "What if you plug their mouths and disturb the adults for a while?"
"Hey, hey!" A few big men stepped forward and blocked the captive's mouth with black rags and other objects, and the captive was full of tears and whining.
Because Fang Ming was more honest, he was exempted from gags with a few people around him who had not woken up yet.
At this time, looking around, there were several children huddled in their parents' arms, squeezing in one by one, as if there was something terrible outside.
"It's coming!" Fang Ming's mind moved, and he had already found someone coming.
Call!!!
There was a bad wind on the flat ground, flying sand and rocks, and the villagers couldn't help but close their eyes, and when they opened them again, there were already several more figures on the field.
The first was a big man, dressed in a black suit, and his face was full of beards.
There are more than a dozen black shadows behind, all of which are translucent, and they can't see their faces clearly.
"Well, just send a team to accept sacrifices, and there will be an evil ghost, with more than a dozen powerful ghosts, this wine has gone through a hundred years, and it has accumulated a lot of money!"
In this life, as long as you have eaten people's ghosts, you can call them fierce ghosts, and then there are powerful ghosts, there are only a few wisps of black gas during the day, but you can barely see a human figure at night.
The ghost is the elite power of the ghost class, which can use yin power to change weapons and armor, and its strength is extraordinary.
Further up, there are evil ghosts! can appear in the daytime, and they are fierce and powerful!
The demon goes up further, and he is the king of ghosts! At this point, the yin and the yang are born, and the appearance is no different from that of mortals.
But Fang Ming knew that the Ghost King couldn't see the difference between him and mortals in appearance at most, and in fact he was still a ghost genus!
"Commander Zhang, it turned out that you came this time, great, ...... last time"
Lao Xu Tou saw the evil ghost man, but his eyes lit up, and he stepped forward to start a relationship.
That's where the two talked.
"Old Xutou, let's make friends, if the sacrifices are insufficient, a certain family can't save you!" At the end, I heard Commander Zhang say coldly.
"These sacrifices are all dedicated to His Majesty the Ghost King, how dare the little ones slacken, how dare they slacken!"
"Look at it, all the people in this water are young people, with strong blood and vigor, and your majesty likes it!"
Old Xu Tou came to a captive, pried open the captive's mouth, and showed his teeth, as if looking at an animal.
"Yes, yes, yes!" the demon general nodded.
"Your Lao Xu Village's sacrifice this time is very good, a certain family will tell you equally!"
"Thank you, sir!" Old Xu was overjoyed, and shouted backwards: "What are you still doing in a daze? Hurry up and pack the prisoners and send them to your lordship!"
"Okay!" The farmer put Fang Ming and the others into a black sack, tied the bag tightly, and handed it to the attendants behind Commander Zhang.
After the handover was completed, Lao Xu Tou rubbed his hands and smiled: "Commander Zhang, look! They are all young goods, and the number is right, this month's token ......."
"Haha...... Somebody knew you were going to say this!"
The demon general laughed, took out a ghost head token from his bosom, and threw it to Lao Xutou.
"Hang it at the head of the village according to the old rules, and there will be no ghosts to harass you next month!"
"Thank you, sir!" Old Xu hurriedly caught the token and put it away, and hurriedly saluted.
"A certain family is just a businessman, okay, Lao Xu Village's offerings this month are enough, don't delay next month, otherwise you will have to catch it from your village!"
The big man smiled cruelly and beckoned his subordinates: "Sons, let's go!"
The demons envoy Black Wind set up sacks and walked down to the village.
"Whew! Finally gone!" Lao Xu wiped the cold sweat on his head: "I'm scared to death of my old heart, every time I deal with them, I always feel cold on my body, at least a few years less to live......"
Then he looked at the villagers behind him, "Okay! It's okay! Everyone go back and go to bed early! Go out to work tomorrow, and don't let go of the ...... if there are fat sheep passing by."
When the villagers saw that the evil ghost was gone, they were also angry and turned back to their homes to rest.
Lao Xu Tou looked at this scene, and finally sighed when there was no one around: "Alas...... When is a day like this, when is it a head......"
The body is rickety, and it seems to have aged several years at once.
Fang Ming was in a sack, but his divine sense was released from the outside, taking in every move of Commander Zhang outside in his eyes.
I saw that Commander Zhang went to several villages and received sacrifices, ten people in the small village, and the number of people in the big village ranged from fifteen to twenty.
Occasionally, if the sacrifices were insufficient, no matter how the village chief pleaded, this commander was unmoved, and ordered his subordinates to catch young and strong people from the villagers.
The villagers knew that if they resisted, they would slaughter the village, and if they didn't resist, only a few people would die, and each according to the destiny of heaven, except for the family members who were taken away, the rest of them were not particularly sad, as if they had become numb.
After receiving five or six villages, and sacrificing hundreds of people, at this time, it was the black wind of the envoy led by Zhang, who was a little unsupported, and the commander Zhang no longer accepted it, but set off to turn around.
Along the way, he also encountered many evil ghost generals, and gradually converged into one place.
In the end, there was a black torrent that stretched for miles, carrying hundreds of sacrifices, heading towards the capital city.
"The one who harvested the grass valley is back!"
On the city wall of Xudu, several ghost pawns saw this and shouted loudly.
There was a commotion at the city gate, and the city gate with ghost heads painted on both sides slowly opened, and black torrents poured in.
"Today's harvest is good, everyone can have a full meal!"
"Hey, who's to say it's not!
"Since entering the troubled times, this harvest has risen greatly, and you can eat enough every time, I hope that the troubled times will not end too soon......"
Fang Ming could hear the whispers of the ghosts through the sack. (To be continued.) )
