- More than a month has passed, and the team has traveled a long distance and experienced various things on the way: killing ferocious beasts in dangerous places, destroying bandit dens in bandit villages, killing evil meng cultivators, etc.
At the beginning of March, the spring breeze blew, blowing people's faces and refreshing their hearts.
In the morning of this day, the sky was clear and the clouds were light. The team ran away from the Kuanglong Sand Plain, climbed over several grass slopes, and entered the southwest of Qugong County.
Qugong County, located in the southeast of Huangzhou, is an isolated county in a basin with no neighbors on all sides. It has a vast territory and sparsely populated areas, and has many unique folk customs and ancient customs.
At noon, everyone turned around the col and found a village ahead. Through the sparse trees, many low-rise houses could be seen, but it was extremely quiet and not a single person was seen.
Not long after walking forward, a burst of intermittent crying suddenly came from their ears. Everyone couldn't help but be curious, so they quickly walked around among the forest houses, following the sound of crying.
Within the village, there is a half-moon-shaped lake with an area of ??less than half a mile. The water in the lake is green and clear. It seems to be a calm and deep water surface, but it has a vague and evil atmosphere.
Around the lake, there was a circle of people kneeling quietly, obviously some kind of ritual activity was going on. Among these people, regardless of whether they are men or women, old or young, all have strange hairstyles, strange clothes, but solemn expressions.
In the middle of the bend of the lake, there is a place that looks like a dock. A cold-faced old man in black clothes stands beside him solemnly.
On the shore of the pier, two young men were carrying a boat-shaped wooden basin and were carefully placing it into the pond. There was a girl sitting in the tub, wearing plain clothes, with a thin chin and withered hair. She looked about 60 years old.
The girl was sitting in the tub, her cries muted due to excessive fear. She clutched the corners of her clothes tightly with both hands, her body kept trembling, and her young face showed fear and uneasiness! She didn't dare to move because of fear, but she kept turning her head to look around, but all she could see were ruthless, cold faces.
A group of outsiders accidentally broke into the village and disturbed the ongoing memorial ceremony in the village. This immediately aroused the vigilance and hostility of the villagers. They all turned their attention to the crowd.
The old man in black clothes turned his head and saw a group of young people with light green hair. A trace of surprise appeared on his face. He waved to the two young men to continue, then walked out of the crowd and walked towards the leader Mu Chen.
"You are from the Mu tribe in Shu County. What do you want here?" The old man stopped a few feet away and asked.
"Exactly, I happened to pass by, excuse me!" Mu Chen straightened his expression slightly and replied.
"Today, our village is offering sacrifices to Tan Ling. After Tan Ling has finished enjoying the sacrifice, we can entertain you all later!" said the old man in black clothes.
¡°Why are children used as sacrifices?¡± Mu Wanyan suddenly stepped forward with unbearable eyes.
The old man in black clothes glanced at her, his eyes narrowed, and he replied in a deep voice: "That's why, the sacrifice can only be a boy under ten years old, there is no substitute! Otherwise, the water in the pool will still drop and dry up, and we will have nothing to offer." The water is drinkable!¡±
"Where did this girl come from?" Mu Wanyan looked solemn.
"She was bought by the village from a family in the suburbs of Qugong County with money!" the old man in black clothes answered.
"What does the Tan Ling you are talking about look like? How does it enjoy the sacrifice?" Mu Chen suddenly asked, seeming to be very curious about this matter.
"No one has seen the true face of the pond spirit, but when the offering boat floats to the center of the lake, it will naturally appear and stir up waves to sweep the sacrifices to the bottom of the water."
While they were talking, the two young men squatting on the shore of the pier were splashing water forward with wooden ladles. The moving water slowly pushed the wooden basins toward the center of the lake. As for the other villagers, they still gathered around the shore, kneeling respectfully facing the lake.
The surroundings were very quiet. Although Bian Yao was standing on the outside of the team, he could clearly hear the old man's words. He suddenly walked around the children of the Mu clan and walked a few steps towards the dock. He stood behind the kneeling villagers and stared at the wooden basin that was gradually moving towards the center of the pond.
A gray figure, whose hairstyle and clothes are different from those cold-faced villagers, stands out from the crowd and stands by the pond, so conspicuous!
In an instant, the girl's eyes came over. She kept sobbing with tears. She stared at Bian Yao's eyes and face, and never looked away, as if she believed that this strange adult was her last hope!
The basin gradually receding, the vaguely familiar face, the helpless eyes, the timid demeanor
In an instant, a figure appeared in Bian Yao's mind. His heart trembled suddenly, and an inexplicable obsession arose in his heart! The thoughts are so strong!
Suddenly, he turned around and walked quickly towards a village house not far away, ducked behind it and disappeared.
Mu Qingge caught a glimpse of his unusual behavior, raised her eyebrows, and a strange color flashed in her eyes, as if she had thought ofHowever, he stood still without moving.
In the wooden basin, the girl looked at the figure who suddenly turned around and quickly disappeared behind a certain house. Suddenly she found that she had arrived in the middle of the lake, and her fear suddenly rose! The little mouth couldn't help grinning, and burst into tears with a loud "Wow"!
Suddenly! A white shadow rushed out from behind a certain village house, jumped up, passed over the heads of the villagers, floated to the surface of the lake, and walked quickly on the water!
In a short breath, Bian Yao rushed to the center of the lake. He ducked down, quickly stretched out his arms, picked up the girl from the tub, spun around on the lake, and flew towards the shore.
In an instant, there was a cry of exclamation from all around! By the way, there were looks of surprise!
Those villagers exclaimed, they never expected this scene to happen, someone dared to snatch the sacrifice! The eyes of the children of the Wood Clan also showed disbelief! Along the way, he encountered rivers many times. Bian Yao used magic stones to step on his feet to cross the river. Why was he suddenly able to walk on water? They were shocked and confused! Only Mu Chen and Mu Wanyan had a hint of surprise in their eyes, but they seemed to have vaguely known something, and their reactions were not as strong as those of the other children of the Mu clan.
The old man in black clothes had a sharp look in his eyes, his voice suddenly turned cold, and he asked loudly: "What does this mean? Has the Mu Clan changed their rules, and now they can use their power to intervene at will?"
¡°He is not from our Mu clan!¡± A voice suddenly shouted, and it was Mu Wuji who spoke.
"That's good! If I take action, there's no need to show mercy!" The old man in black clothes said coldly.
A gray shadow suddenly flashed past, and Mu Qingge stood in front of the old man in black clothes, blocking his way. His right hand was slightly raised, and a pair of sharp eyes flashed coldly!
"Wait a minute!" Mu Wanyan hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Old sir, don't get me wrong. Our Mu clan will never bully others, and we have no intention of interfering with external customs. Please let me go and ask about the situation first."
After saying that, Mu Wanyan glanced at Mu Qingge quickly, and then walked past him. The old man in black clothes snorted coldly and stepped to follow. Mu Chen and others followed closely behind.
At this moment, all the villagers had stood up, staring angrily, and they had already surrounded the criminals who had destroyed the festival.
Bian stood quietly in front of a village house. The girl huddled beside him, half-circling his waist with one hand, and tightly holding the corner of his clothes with the other. Tears were still on her face, her eyes were red, and her expression was clear.
"Do you know her?" Mu Wanyan stepped forward from the separated crowd and asked Bian Yao.
"So what if we don't know each other!" Bian Yao subconsciously hugged the girl towards him, his voice a little cold.
"Since we don't know each other, your sudden kindness is a bit ridiculous! Over the past hundreds of years, this village has held sacrifices every year, and it will continue to be the case in the future. Do you want to come every year?" The old man in black clothes sneered. .
"You can change to another person, and I won't care anymore, but she can't! I can pay you spiritual fruits." Bian Yao said. He could feel that the old man in front of him was not simple, and he was definitely not something he could handle, so Made his own suggestions.
"Impossible!" The old man refused flatly: "It is already too late to go hundreds of miles away to buy new sacrifices. If the ceremony is delayed, Tanling will be angry, and the consequences will be equally disastrous!"
Bian Yao suddenly turned his head and looked around, then raised his hand and pointed at several children in the crowd, and said, "Are they all over ten years old?"
The old man in black clothes flashed a cold look in his eyes, but his expression did not change. He immediately said in a matter-of-fact tone: "This is the foundation of the continuation of this village, how can it be used to sacrifice to the pond!"
Bian Yao couldn't help but sneer, his lips moved, but in the end he didn't say anything. He simply closed his mouth, looked at the old man coldly, and raised his right hand to his chest without showing a trace of fear!
Mu Qingge walked slowly to the side behind Bian Yao and stared at the old man in black clothes. The meaning was obvious!
For a moment, Mu Wanyan's eyebrows showed a look of panic, Mu Chen frowned, his expression complicated in silence, and the other children of the Mu clan remained motionless. According to the clan rules of the Mu clan, no member of the clan is allowed to interfere with outside forces privately, including the folk customs of various places!
Since ancient times, such ritual activities that use humans as sacrifices have always existed. Over time, this cruel behavior has long been accepted by the world.
After a few breaths of silence, the old man suddenly flipped his palms and shouted sternly: "If you insist on doing this, I will take your life first!"
"Wait a minute!" At the critical moment, a cry broke through the air!
As soon as the shouts faded, not far from the crowd, four figures appeared one after another, it was Mu Qiyuan and three other teachers.
The eyes of the old man in black clothes were focused, and his palm movement stopped for a moment. He immediately turned his head and looked away, but when he saw three men and one woman walking towards him, all four of them had dark green hair, his expression suddenly withered!
Mu Qiyuan was the first to pass through the crowd and asked Mu Chen about the cause of the matter. Then he looked at Bian Yao who was silent and saw him staring at the old man in black clothes with a fearless and indifferent expression on his face. The cold look.
After a moment of silence, Mu Qiyuan turned to look at the old man in black clothes and said seriously: "This matter has nothing to do with the position of the Mu clan, and the rules of our clan have not changed! In my own name, I will pay your village 10,000 pieces of Bixiang. Fruit! Only this time! No matter what, this girl must be taken away. I think you will have a way to solve the matter of sacrifice. What do you think?"
"Under this situation, is it possible that this village still has a choice?" The old man snorted coldly and said angrily.
"I hope you will be considerate! Please feel free to inform me of this child's home address." Mu Qiyuan didn't mind the other party's attitude and remained polite.
The old man in black clothes was silent for a while, with a grim expression on his face. Finally, he called a middle-aged man and asked him to tell him the girl's home address.
"You continue on your way, I will send this child back to ensure that she will not be sold again, don't worry!" Mu Qiyuan paid the old man 10,000 spirit fruits, and then looked at Bian Yao and the girl.
After Bian Yao pondered for a moment, he looked up at Mu Qiyuan with gratitude in his eyes. At the same time, he nodded "Yeah" and his whole person suddenly disappeared!
In an instant, voices of surprise and suspicion arose, and everyone around was dumbfounded!
The girl suddenly held her arms empty, and found that the person beside her had disappeared inexplicably, as if she had lost a life-saving straw. A look of panic suddenly appeared on her face, her mouth suddenly closed, and she was about to cry.
The next moment, Bian Yao suddenly walked out from behind a village house and said loudly: "I'm here!"
In surprise, the villagers shouted and opened a gap. The girl heard the sound and looked along the dispersed crowd. There was a brief moment of confusion in her eyes. Then she rolled her eyes and ran towards him, hugging Bian Yao tightly again.
"Dream clone! That was the dream clone just now!"
In an instant, the children of the Wood clan suddenly understood, and they were all stunned, their minds falling into chaos.
After a while, under the leadership of four instructors, everyone left the lake and walked out of the village.
Bian Yao carried the girl on his back for a while, and finally persuaded her to let go of her clothes. When the two parted, they both had a bit of reluctance in their eyes.
Not long after, Mu Qiyuan took the girl into the air and flew towards the direction of Qugong County. As for Bian Yao and the others, they continued to move forward, aiming for Qianyue Lake. - Didn't finish reading?
