Along the way, I didn't dare to stare at the gentle slope. I only dared to stare at my feet. Until I reached the end of the road, I finally reached the gentle slope at the top of the mountain. The dazzling firelight and pungent smell made me a little nervous for a moment. I was confused, my eyes were sore and I felt like crying, and I couldn't see clearly what was in front of me.
But no one asked me anything, but at this moment, someone pushed me and pushed me into the crowd who were dancing weird dance steps. I didn't react at all, and for a moment I stood there dumbly. Among the crowd, he seemed particularly conspicuous.
And this weird dance step is constantly moving. When I realized that I had been pushed into the crowd, I was already being pushed and pushed forward by the people moving behind. I didn’t know this kind of dance step at all. How can I dance? My whole body is covered in hot sweat all of a sudden. I am afraid that I will be more conspicuous by being pushed around like this, right
The crowd was still very quiet, but a cold snort came from above. As I moved my steps, I looked up and discovered that behind the huge fire surrounded by people, there was a platform made of wood. There were also a few people in black robes standing on the stage, and the cold snorts were made by them.
These people...what? At this moment, I had deactivated my Heavenly Eye, but I still noticed that the aura they exuded was very strange. In short, it no longer seemed like a human aura. There were other things on the stage. Before I had time to take a closer look, I was pushed by the crowd again. Move forward.
At this moment, a deep, old voice sounded next to me: "You must concentrate when performing sacrifices. The last time someone didn't pay attention, he was thrown into the Yellow River in advance... You don't know how scary that scene was... concentrate on it. Above The people are already angry."
I had no idea who the man next to me was because he was also wearing a black cloak, so no one could tell who was who. He probably thought I was an aborigine in the town and came to remind me out of good intentions, but he Make me realize that the people in this town are not as indifferent as I thought
At this time, I was destined not to fool around anymore. Fortunately, I had practiced many sets of martial arts since I was a child to keep fit, and my body was quite flexible. I began to pay attention to the movements of others and imitate these weird movements and footsteps. Although It still looks a bit clumsy, but it's less conspicuous.
There was another cold snort from above, making my whole body tense up, but after two minutes, there was no more unnecessary movement, letting me know that this time I had fooled myself, and as time went by, I discovered that this weird thing The dance steps were just a few simple movements, like rowing a boat while constantly taking out something from my body, throwing it on the ground (or in the water?), and then worshiping it devoutly, so I quickly It’s familiar.
But with this familiarity, strange feelings began to emerge in my heart. What did I take out of myself? After carefully studying the movements of my hands, I discovered that it was the location of the internal organs of the five elements, followed by the flesh and blood of the limbs, and finally my head. What the hell is this? I couldn't help but cursed in my heart... A weird feeling immediately spread throughout my body! This is simply an evil sacrifice. What kind of sacrifice offers one's own flesh and blood and internal organs
I thought of their worship of skeletons... The corners of my eyes twitched unconsciously.
The dance continued. After I became familiar with this set of movements, I began to observe the high platform behind the fire. Unfortunately, the fire was only surrounded by people in the center, and the light was blocked. On the high platform, it was only lit in the center in front. There is a huge brazier, and above the brazier is a large ceramic bowl. The large bowl is exuding curls of blue-black smoke, and the weird and pungent smell comes from there.
Because the brazier was suspended so high, but because of the angle, I could only clearly see the few men in black robes standing in front of the high platform. The shadow behind made me think there was something, but I had no idea what it was.
How long will this kind of sacrifice continue? Even if I lean against the fire and keep doing weird movements, my body is still getting colder and colder. The Yang Qi is locked up. It is not just a simple blood flow that can restore the body temperature by being close to a warm place. My heart has begun to become a little anxious. If necessary, I must untie the Cynomorium Knot... Because not to mention the danger to my life, as the body becomes cold, the limbs will become stiff. How can I fool around
However, the Cynomorium knot has only been tied once, and tying it a second time immediately will cause great harm... I was so confused that I suddenly regretted taking such a risk, and suddenly I had no way out.
At this time, a cold middle-aged man's voice suddenly sounded from the high platform: "Light the fire!" Then, the people around me began to roar in unison, and then they began to hum a strange tune. , what language was shouted indistinctly in the throat, I couldn't hear it clearly... But the tune was really creepy, like the music in Journey to the West where the evil goblin is about to appear, and also like the weird music in a ghost movie. The scene is soundtracked to the tune that ghosts will appear at any time.
Are the people in this town possessed by evil spirits? Are you actually humming this tune
I opened my mouth speechlessly, but my low humming was just perfunctory. No one paid attention to me anyway. However, I found that after the sound of ignition, several copper basins lit up on the high platform one after another, finally illuminating the entire high platform.
Then, I finally saw the existence of the high platform clearly, but the discovery made me take a breath of cold air. It turned out that there was a wooden boat placed in the middle of the high platform. The entire wooden boat was painted in blood red color and tied with knots. A large red cloth flower represents the joy. Sitting in the boat are four handsome children, two boys and two girls, who look to be no more than 5 years old.
The boy was wearing black satin clothes and a small cap from the Qing Dynasty. There were two red feathers on the hat representing the groom's officials, and a big red flower on his body. The girl was wearing a red wedding dress and her hair was combed. The bride's head... The four children were sitting on the blood-red boat in fear. Their faces were all smeared with white powder and bright red rouge. In this already civilized era, it looked weird!
Around them, there were several huge plates. One plate was piled with large bloody hearts, another plate was piled with large bloody viscera, and the other plate was piled with large pieces of blood. There are piles of blood and flesh. Just looking at these plates makes me want to vomit. What is that
The crowd was still turning, and it happened to be my turn to move to the side near the high platform. I endured my nausea and took a closer look. It turned out that these bloody things were just models carved from wood, but there was a layer of something unknown on them. The blood... But how could the child bear this
My heart suddenly became angry. I didn't know why they put the child on a high platform. But I feel like that’s not a good thing at all
People are still humming that weird tune around me, but I feel like I should do something, but what should I do? What should I do
But at this moment, the man in black standing in the middle on the high platform suddenly raised his hands, and then shouted: "Stop!"
The people who were dancing and chanting just now all stopped, as if a button was suddenly pressed. There was no movement at all, and then they knelt down towards the high platform in a uniform manner.
Once again, I didn't react and didn't kneel down. I stood out among the crowd, but I couldn't kneel down to these evil guys who didn't know what they were.
The people on the high platform noticed me again this time. One of the people standing next to the person in the middle snorted coldly. It looked like he was about to jump off the high platform, but was blocked by the person in the middle... I don’t know. What kind of medicine is sold in the gourd
I knew... everything was not that simple. Taking a deep breath, I began to quietly untie the Cynomorium knot tied to my body. This kind of knot cannot be pulled apart at once. If it is suddenly pulled open, it will cause a sudden burst of Yang Qi. It gushed out, causing difficulty in breathing, so it could only be untied in a special way, but it was not difficult for me, who was already familiar with it!
I was untying the Cynomorium knot, but my pants were being quietly pulled by the person next to me, reminding me in a small and anxious voice: "Kneel down, kneel down quickly..." It can be seen that my body The people next to me are really worried about me... and they are not the same person as the person who reminded me just now! Once again, I felt that the people in this town were not as indifferent as they seemed.
"The boy has been selected and sent to the Holy Village. As for him, he is the new sacrifice to the River God." On the high platform, the man in the middle finally spoke, his voice was cold, and he was trying to control my life, just like he was trying to control the life of an ant. life.
Hiding in the shadow of the cloak, I laughed angrily, right? You want to use me as a sacrifice.
At this time, a dozen hurried footsteps sounded behind us, and an old and weak voice also came from behind us: "Don't... cough... cough... sin anymore!"
