Qin Fang has been in this mountain for some time, and he has slowly adapted to some of the customs of the mountain people, and he also knows what kind of taboos the mountain people have.
Sacrificial activities like this are considered the most solemn in the mountains. Just preparations take a long time, and each sacrifice needs to be screened again and again before it can be completely determined.
In particular, the sacrifices of this tribe are for the future of the tribe, which is even more important. Everything will be the smooth completion of the sacrifice activities as the most important, and other things must not be affected.
In other words, anyone who dares to disrupt the sacrificial activities will become the enemy of everyone in the tribe and will definitely attack them in groups.
"Don't worry, Aunt Song, I know it well..."
Qin Fang nodded. Although this kind of thing is bloody, it is the hope of everyone in the entire tribe. He is just an outsider, but there is no way to stop it.
They could only be spectators, witnessing the process of this sacrificial activity... Qin Fang and the others were just passing by this tribe, planning to stay overnight. They would leave the mountain directly tomorrow morning and enter the outside world, so when they came over, the sky was dark It was getting a little late, and the entire sacrificial activity had come to an end, leaving only the final blood sacrifice.
In the center of the tribe, a high platform was built, covered with flowers and green grass, and it looked quite beautifully decorated.
A very young-looking girl was sitting there, completely naked. Under the setting sun, the breeze was blowing gently, which immediately brought with it the boundless coldness, making her look very uncomfortable. He couldn't help but cover his body tightly, covering several important parts.
However, her face was very calm, and even quite joyful. It seemed that she was very happy and looking forward to what was going to happen next.
"Qin Fang, why does she look so happy?"
Qin Fang and others came to watch the sacrificial activity, and Wen Yan and Tang Xin were also nearby. However, when they knew what the next blood sacrifice was about, Wen Yan still asked in confusion.
A blood sacrifice involves sacrificing one's young life, and this girl is very beautiful and very young, only sixteen years old. Although she is old enough to get married and have children in the mountains, she is still young outside the mountains. Just a middle school student.
But in front of me, this young life has to be thrown away for the so-called sacrifice. It is really a pity... "Is there anything wrong with this?"
Qin Fang was really speechless, but Tang Xin muttered something strange, "Over the past thousand years, many seniors in the Tang Sect have sacrificed their lives in order to forge stronger hidden weapons..."
There are quite a lot of records about this in the history of the Tang Sect. As a disciple of the Tang Sect, Tang Xin naturally knows a lot about these things.
Of course, only if the hidden weapon is successfully cast and the sacrificer... Generally speaking, it is the caster himself, his name will be recorded in the history of the Tang Sect.
As for those losers, since they have all failed, the hidden weapons have naturally not been successfully forged. Naturally, they are not qualified and can only be slowly submerged in the long history.
Perhaps when future generations prepare to forge similar or even identical hidden weapons, his name may be revealed... This is the same as the legend of General Mo Xie. Almost all the successful castings of the Tang Sect's top ten hidden weapons are imprinted on it. The blood of the forger... "But it's just feudal superstition..."
The relationship between Wen Yan and Tang Xin was getting along very well. At this time, she looked at Tang Xin with some surprise, and said with a rather angry look on her face.
Feudal superstition harmed people's thoughts, but now it also harmed human lives. As a civilized person who walked into the mountains from a civilized society, Wen Yan could not accept the scene before her.
"Just watch with peace of mind, don't say more..."
Qin Fang also expressed pity for the girl on the high platform who was no longer in her prime. She had only been in this world for more than ten years and it was such a pity that she had to lose her life in such a way.
But she still felt that it was very worthwhile, as if this was the only meaning of her life, which made Qin Fang and others sigh with regret.
This is a custom of the mountain people, rooted deep in the hearts of everyone in the mountains. Even Aunt Song, who walked out of the mountains and lived outside for decades, still has a lot of awe and respect for these things when she comes back. Afraid.

It's not that she is in awe of ghosts and gods, but more of a reverence for the ignorant people in the mountains. The stupid people are the most terrifying. There is nothing they dare not do. If they offend these people, no one will get good results. of.
Qin Fang was no exception. Although he expressed pity for the girl who was about to be sacrificed, he couldn't do anything... If he really wanted to save people, he wouldn't have to wait for the people from the Tang Sect to catch up, that's all. The mountain people who were watching were enough to make them all hate this.
Wuwuwuwu~~~ The sun gradually began to set on the top of the mountain, and only a little bit of the sunset could be seen, decorating the entire village in a hazy glow.
Waves of low horn sounds sounded outside the stockade, and then a group of people seemed to be gathered outside the stockade.
First there were two rows of teams, each with more than a dozen people. They were all wearing very weird costumes. They looked like lamas, but they were not very similar. One of them was carrying a huge horn. The big horn was playing loudly... There were people playing gongs and drums behind it, it looked so lively.
Surrounded by dozens of people was an extremely gorgeous-looking sedan, which was carried by sixteen people, making it look particularly grand.
The sedan was completely covered with curtains, and one could only vaguely see a person sitting cross-legged inside, who seemed to be of quite high status.
"It's High Priest Darren! High Priest Darren is here in person..."
Soon someone in the village recognized the identity of this visitor. It was the vehicle of the highest-ranking high priest in this mountain. High Priest Darren was known as the messenger of the gods, and his status was even higher than that of the Geda witch doctor. Above such a prestigious elder.
High Priest Darren is the most powerful person in the entire mountain. Even the chiefs of various tribes are respectful when they see him and do not dare to disobey him at all, because he represents the supreme god.
It is precisely because of this supreme authority that High Priest Darren gets almost everything he asks for in the mountains and has become the most powerful person. Whichever tribe in the mountain holds a sacrifice is proud to invite High Priest Darren to preside over it.
Qin Fang originally thought that such a powerful person should be as old as the Geda witch doctor. However, when High Priest Darren got off the sedan, he found that this person looked nothing more than He looks about forty years old, quite lean, has a slender mustache, and wears a white sacrificial robe. He really has the demeanor of a fairy... But there is more. However, Qin Fang felt that this High Priest Darren was not as selfless, sacred, and upright as his name suggested... Especially his pair of slightly slender eyes, which always blinked. It gives people a very sinister feeling and makes people very uncomfortable to watch.
It's just that those in the mountains don't seem to see anything unusual, or in other words, they all have their heads lowered and don't even have the courage to take a closer look.
Qin Fang's heart moved, and he immediately threw a detection skill at the High Priest Darren, wanting to find out the background of the High Priest Darren first.
The results of the investigation came back soon, which surprised Qin Fang.
"Darren, level 1, half-assed, evil camp, specialty: deception level 3..."
As a result, although Qin Fang had thought that High Priest Darren was a charlatan earlier, he did not expect that this charlatan was even worse than he imagined. He was actually a dabbler, or to be precise, a complete liar.
Qin Fang is not surprised that many magicians are liars, but ordinary liars only cheat money and sex, and rarely kill people, but the high priest Darren in front of him is directly from the evil camp. Qin Fang paid close attention to his sin value, and couldn't help but take a breath - "Sin value: 3240 points."
With a crime value of more than 3,000, this is the second-highest villain Qin Fang has ever seen, second only to the black witch doctor Mulun who had murdered many people in the mountains and practiced voodoo.
Such a high crime value means that at least thirty people died in his hands, making him a brutal figure like an executioner.
However, Qin Fang was slightly stunned despite being surprised. He saw the girl on the high platform and thought of the blood sacrifice that was about to begin. He somewhat understood where the high priest Darren's sin points came from. Yes.
These girls are all very pure and simple. Even if they are not from the good camp, they are at least from the neutral camp. Killing such a girl will definitely increase the crime value by a hundred points.
High Priest Darren has been operating in the mountains for so many years. The blood sacrifices he has handled are not once or twice. So it is understandable that his hands are stained with the blood of so many people. The sin value of more than 3,000 is only Not particularly strange anymore.
Although this makes sense and provides Qin Fang with a reasonably reasonable explanation, Qin Fang still feels that there is a big problem with High Priest Darren... at least he is actually a high priest. He is a half-assed charlatan and a liar whose deception skills are as high as level 3. There must be something fishy about him.
