Chapter Seventy-Two: The Sacrifice
The sacrifice of the Hulun tribe is a grand festival, everyone wears the festive costume, everyone has a smile on their faces, and they greet each other non-stop, only on this day all the differences and estrangements have disappeared, and there is the intoxicating fragrance of wine everywhere.
After Xiao Ruoshui and Gu Lisha bathed and changed their clothes, they stood in the middle of the sacrificial procession, watching the people around them singing and dancing, and the high priest kept muttering something.
Xiao Ruoshui and Gu Lisha were dressed in white, and they were particularly eye-catching in the crowd, the men were chic and free, and the women were spotless like dusting lotus. The end is the dragon and phoenix among the people, the red rabbit among the horses, very eye-catching, Xiao Ruoshui did not have the tension of being sent to feed the cute corpse at the moment, he kept asking Gu Lisha curiously, what did the high priest say, what were those people doing, provoked Gu Lisha for a while, she estimated in her heart that she had despised this man who didn't care about her life too much, she replied helplessly Xiao Ruoshui, her heart was full of despair.
After arriving at the end of the day, all the people gathered around the two of them to the tomb of the patriarch, tied the two of them to the altar, and after another period of worship, they left the antechamber of the patriarch's tomb and retreated to the outside of the valley to guard against outsiders from entering, but more to prevent the people inside from escaping.
Before leaving, the high priest said to Xiao Ruoshui: "I should have given you to drink ecstasy soup, but after thinking about it, forget it, let your death be clear." ”
Xiao Ruoshui didn't care, he said to the high priest, "Remember the note I gave you. You must do what you say, understand?" the high priest nodded, and withdrew with the others.
When noon came, the strong sunlight shone into the front hall, and the dark front hall suddenly became like day, Xiao Ruoshui and Gu Lisha were stunned by this strange scene, they looked at the sun-filled front hall, the wall reflected the sunlight like a mirror and shone on a stone slab in front of the altar, and the water in a small pit on the stone slab was instantly evaporated, and a rising white mist appeared. The altar was covered. Xiao Ruoshui blinked and wanted to see clearly, but with a bang, the altar was adjusted and turned face down. They were hoisted into the air. It's like being hung to the ceiling on the second floor. Gradually, Xiao Ruoshui seemed to feel that the ropes of his hands and feet were about to fall off, and his abdomen stiffened. As soon as the rope fell off, and as soon as he grasped the palm of his hand, five holes appeared in the altar. With his other foot, he blocked the falling Gulisha, and then with a copy of his hand, he held Gulisha in his arms, and he said to Gulisha, "Light the fire." ”
Gu Lisha was hugged by him, her whole body was weak, she struggled to take out a thousand miles of fire and shook it, the fire was on, Xiao Ruoshui took a closer look at the environment, this is a square hall, they are hanging in the air at the moment, about five zhang from the ground, Xiao Ruoshui looked at the wall in the distance, and said to Gu Lisha: "Hold me." Gu Lisha immediately hugged Xiao Ruoshui's neck with both hands, and wrapped her legs around Xiao Ruoshui's waist. As soon as Xiao Ruo's sailor vacated the air, he immediately grabbed the top wall with his hand and moved forward, his hand like a steel claw checking the top wall, moving towards the wall. After a while, he reached the corner of the wall, he kicked the wall with both feet, and his hands still grabbed up and down for a while before he reached the ground, and when he reached the ground, he leaned against the wall and gasped, although his hands were protected by gloves, it was still bloody, and the blood was dripping down, and he said to Gulisha: "Come down, I'll bandage my fingers." Gu Lisha was stunned by the bloody appearance of his hands, and actually forgot about it, she blushed, let go of Xiao Ruoshui, and stood on the ground. Xiao Ruoshui tore a piece of clothing, took out a small bag and sprinkled it with Jinchuang medicine, and then bandaged his fingers, the medicine is a superb medicine, as soon as he sprinkled it, he stopped the bleeding, he endured the pain and leaned against the wall, panting, sweat beads flowed down from his forehead, he took a big breath of fresh air, and wanted to recover his strength as soon as possible.
Gu Lisha took out a handkerchief to help him wipe the sweat from his forehead, and his eyes seemed to be full of tears, which would flow down if he didn't pay attention.
"Flutter" Xiao Ruoshui blew out the fire, and he whispered to Gu Lisha: "Don't make a noise, someone is coming." ”
Gu Lisha curled up tightly in Xiao Ruoshui's arms, although she is a bold woman who is not afraid of heaven and earth, but at this moment in the gloomy environment, she also hopes to have a support, at this moment she leans on Xiao Ruoshui's arms, feeling the warmth of his body, so that she has a feeling that she can't rely on, just like a baby lying in her mother's arms.
Xiao Ruoshui whispered into her ear: "Follow me to move slowly, don't make a sound." Xiao Ruoshui put his arm around her waist and moved slowly, until he reached the back of a statue, this statue was a place that Xiao Ruoshui had already looked at, and it could cover the sight of the door, so he took Gu Lisha to the back of the statue and looked at the door carefully.
"Giggles" bursts of shrill laughter came in, and it was a woman's voice that was shrill and shrivel. "You can't catch me, you can't catch me, giggles," the woman laughed and floated into the tomb like a ghost.
"Don't run away, I won't arrest you. Today, the gongs and drums are noisy, and it is estimated that someone is worshipping, and we still have to do the right thing. A man with a rough voice rushed in, rushing in with a gust of wind, and Xiao Ruoshui and Gu Lisha, who were hiding behind the statues, also felt a gust of wind blowing, making them shudder.
"You don't arrest me what you say, I'll listen to you and get down to business first. The woman smiled and agreed.
As soon as she waved, the waits in the room lit up, Xiao Ruoshui was taken aback, the martial arts master who could wave and light up eight lamps had never appeared in his influence, but this female ghost actually did it easily, and it was in such a dark environment. Gu Lisha looked at it secretly, the female ghost's face was pale and pale, and she also painted a bright red lip, and the male ghost's face was also pale and pale, and there seemed to be a smell on his body.
"Hey, why is there no one in the incense cave?" said the woman, looking strangely at a large pit under the altar.
"No one, I'll see. The male ghost jumped into the hole, and in a blink of an eye, he jumped out again, as if he had not passed through the hole, and the speed was indeed very amazing.
"It's fake news, no, but the altar has changed direction. The male ghost said, looking towards the altar on the ceiling.
"I smelled strangers, there was the smell of blood, the smell of delicious human flesh. The female ghost jumped to the place where Xiao Ruoshui was standing just now, stretched out her tongue and licked the blood left on the wall, and said while licking: "It's delicious, I haven't eaten it for a long time." Gu Lisha was so disgusted that she was about to vomit. Xiao Ruoshui pointed a little at the human acupoint, she felt a lot better, closed her eyes and stopped looking at the female ghost.
"Look at your unproductive appearance, it's not human flesh, what are you licking. The male ghost looked at the female ghost with disdain and said.
"I like to eat blood, it smells fishy, it's delicious. ”
"Where did these two little ones die, and they hid from us?" said the female ghost, licking her lips and sticking out her tongue.
The male ghost also stuck out his tongue, licked his lips and said with a dry smile: "Human flesh can hide, this is the first time." He looked behind the statue, his eyes fixed on the back of the statue. The female ghost suddenly understood, and she smiled and said, 'I guess they're behind the statue, giggling, naughty children.' ”
The two men slowly walked towards the back of the statue, and one of them reached out and grabbed behind the statue. (To be continued......)
