Chapter 153
Sacrifice is a large-scale social event that has existed since ancient times.
In ancient times, the people were ignorant and believed in powerful gods, and every once in a while they offered sacrifices to beg for the protection of the gods.
Among these gods, there are unwarranted existences, and some of them are some creatures with great strength.
This relationship between humans and "gods" is sustained by sacrifices and offerings.
It's just that humans are very real creatures.
When warriors, warlocks, and other people with supernatural powers appear among human beings, they have the ability to protect the group, and naturally they will no longer worship those gods.
Not to mention the sacrifice, it is good not to counterattack back to get back the benefits.
And among the sacrifices, there will naturally be human beings.
The sacrificial process is extremely bloody, and it can be said that it was piled up with human lives.
If this scene happened in ancient times, it would be normal.
But when is it now?
Daming dominates the world, there are countless strong people, turning mountains and seas, soaring clouds and driving fog, omnipotent.
Naturally, there will be no such thing as sacrifice.
Even if there were, there should never be a phenomenon of people being sacrificed.
In the "Great Ming Law", all the people of the Great Ming will never be allowed to regard living people as the best!
Especially after the massacre of the previous dynasty, and the subsequent battle of appeasement, coupled with the current demon rampant, countless people will die from time to time.
Therefore, today's son pays special attention to the safety of people's lives!
After all, the Daming who has the people is the Daming, and when the people are dead, the Daming no longer exists.
In order to set an example, the emperor himself personally issued a divine decree and abolished the martyrdom system after death!
It can be imagined how much Daming attaches importance to the people.
Right now, southwest of Daming, between this lofty mountain, in the steaming water vapor, there is a scene of human sacrifice!
It's outrageous.
Xu Qing's brows wrinkled slightly, his palm was weak, and his eyes were a lot cold.
Shot?
The answer is yes.
Xu Qing was not worried that he would be exposed.
After the shot, it will certainly cause the hatred of the Xianzhou people.
But it doesn't hurt, he has the art of painting skin....
It's a big deal to slaughter such a vicious thief and change his identity to replace him.
Xu Qing doesn't have much psychological burden on this now.
Why not kill one person and save thousands?
This kind of simple multiple-choice question, Xu Qing never hesitated.
Unless that person is a relative of one.
Otherwise, it is natural to save the majority.
"Let's hurry up, we always feel a little bad when we are on the river when they sacrifice."
Xu Qing reminded the old blind man who was stunned.
The old blind man suddenly came back to his senses, a layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead, and he still couldn't believe that those guys really sacrificed living people!
He couldn't help but speed up his oars, and the boat suddenly rushed out like an arrow off the string, heading towards the pier not far away.
The closer you get to the shore, the clearer the sound of the sacrifice becomes.
The strange sound of whining, like a ghost crying, sounds a little weird.
The tone flickered high and low, sometimes like a woman screaming, sometimes like a ghost whispering in her ear.
The witch's voice gradually became louder, and the whole person was convulsing.
Xu Qing took a closer look, and his gaze suddenly froze.
Not pretending!
There really was a special power in that witch.
Xu Qing was sure that the witch herself was not cultivated, but there were strange fluctuations on her body, which was really strange.
After the ship got closer again.
He knew what was going on.
That's demonic qi.
The demon qi that appeared on the witch's body was obviously hidden under this big river, most of which was lurking some monster.
I just don't know what kind of strength it is.
Xu Qing's brows furrowed, and he urged again.
The devil knows what will happen later.
If there really is some monster, then the situation is a little bad.
Aquatic monsters, water is naturally their home field.
A human being himself, even if he is good at swimming, will fall into the downwind.
The old blind man nodded, already rowing with all his might.
Xu Qing saw that there were still oars in the cabin, so he immediately took it and began to help the old blind man row.
The two worked together and the speed was much faster.
Moments later, the boat docked.
The sacrifice site was not far away, and at this time some people in the crowd also ran out.
The old blind man's face turned pale, he hurriedly fixed the boat, jumped ashore with his feet up, and rushed in the direction of the sacrifice.
And at this time.
The man who was coming towards this had already approached and immediately stopped the old blind man.
"What's going on? How can people be sacrificed? The old blind man was stopped and hurriedly asked.
It was a middle-aged man with a bright red oil paint painted on his face, and when he heard this, he explained:
"Uncle blind, you don't care about this matter, Niangniang gave instructions for us to hold this sacrifice, indicating that only those who must live can do it!"
"How so! That's a living person! Not livestock! "The old blind man is old, and Xianzhou is not big, so as an old man, he has some right to speak.
His face was pale, his body was trembling, and he wanted to rush up to stop it.
However, the middle-aged man had already taken precautions, blocked the old blind man, and hurriedly said:
"Uncle blind, my mother and mother have said that as long as we do this sacrifice well, the next year will be smooth and rainy, the catch will be abundant, and there will be more opportunities to enter Rouxiang Island as a guest in the future!"
"Don't go over and make trouble! This must not be screwed up! The
old blind man really wanted to step forward to stop it, but he was old after all, and he couldn't help a young and strong man, so he could only work in a hurry.
And just when the two couldn't argue.
Xu Qing on the small boat has disappeared.
.........
The sacrifice has reached its final stage.
With the fall of the witch's last spell.
The situation above the river has changed abruptly.
The river, which had been relatively gentle, suddenly became violent, and the waves rolled and roared like thunder.
The witch's entire eye turned black, and the whites of her eyes could not be seen, and her voice became a lot hoarse.
"Don't start soon?"
Suddenly, several shirtless strong men in the back stepped forward and pushed those chickens, ducks, pigs, dogs, cows and sheep into the river.
The animals were still alive, but their limbs were bound, and they fell into the water and immediately howled in horror, but they were immediately swallowed by the rushing river.
The two living people who were sacrifices had trembling bodies and covered their heads with cloth, but listening to the voices in their ears, they also knew that it was their turn.
The sound of footsteps gradually approached.
The two strong men each came behind the sacrifice, and when they were about to make a move, they suddenly heard a sharp sound of breaking the air behind them.
A black shadow passed through the crowd, like a ghost, and the horror of the fast movement was not clear at all.
The witch saw it clearly and let out a sharp hoarse shout: "Stop him..."
With a bang, the witch's voice stopped abruptly.
