Chapter 4499 Chapter 4501 [Sacrifice]
Xiang Nan packed up hundreds of prisoners in the prison and then came to the villa of warden Motila.
Although the prisoners in Turkish prisons all live a life worse than death, the villa of Warden Motila is very luxurious. It is not only a three-story small foreign-style building, but also very extravagantly decorated.
Seeing this, Xiang Nan naturally understood the reason.
The so-called yamen door opens to the south, so don't come in if you have a reason or money. The same is true for ancient prisons. There are many ways to make money.
For example, as long as prisoners are willing to take care of themselves, they can live in a single room, eat good food, drink good tea, and even order food and call women. Except for the lack of personal freedom, life is almost the same as outside.
Of course, to live such a life, it is inevitable to give benefits to the cell boss and jailer.
There is even a way to make money in prison, which is "scapegoat". As long as the prisoner is willing to take care of himself, he can be released from prison and replaced by other prisoners.
In the face of eternal hardship, the only option is death. In order to save one's life, people are willing to pay any amount of money, so it is not surprising that the warden has money to live in a big villa.
Xiang Nan immediately released his mental power and sensed everything in the villa.
In the basement, a middle-aged man wearing Chinese clothes was refining a potion.
There are countless bottles and jars in the basement. The bottles and jars contain a variety of materials, such as herbs, ores, animal offal, venom, blood, etc. They are all diverse and look quite disgusting.
"He is... trying to refine the elixir of life." Through these materials, Xiang Nan quickly identified it.
Because he also learned alchemy from Tia Dalma and knew how to refine the elixir of life.
But obviously, this man learned it wrong. Many steps were half-understood, and his inheritance was obviously incomplete.
He mixed some internal organs, venom and blood with herbs and ores to make a cup of dark, sticky liquid, and then fed it into the mouth of a bound person.
Then he looked at that person expectantly.
Then, the man let out a shrill scream, and the skin bulged in many parts of his body. There were dozens of popping sounds, and more than a dozen bone spurs drilled out of his body, along with blood. And out.
But the man still couldn't die, and screamed in extreme pain.
"Failed again. Damn it. If I had known this, I shouldn't have killed the old witch so early." The man said angrily.
…
When Xiang Nan saw this, he no longer wanted to continue reading.
He knew that this man was Warden Moratti. A few years ago, an old witch was imprisoned in a Turkish prison. She killed many people with her witchcraft. She was arrested by the local sheriff and sent to a Turkish prison.
Moratti originally wanted to take care of her, but the old witch told Moratti that she could teach him witchcraft and how to refine the elixir of life.
But after Moratti finished learning witchcraft and alchemy, he turned around and had the old witch killed. Because he didn't want anyone in the world to know how to refine the elixir of life. Unexpectedly, the old witch was also on guard and did not fully teach Moratti the method of refining the elixir of life. Therefore, Moratti could only explore slowly, and the death row inmates in the prison became his experiments. object.
Those monsters drank the "elixir of immortality" he refined, and as a result, they all turned into monsters.
"You deserve more death than them!" Xiang Nan used Legilimency to completely see through Moratti's sins, and couldn't help but said with righteous indignation.
Most of those pirates came from poor backgrounds, and the reason why they became pirates was simply because they were forced by life and wanted to make a living. Although the act of burning, killing and looting is punishable, the behavior is pitiable.
But Moratti murdered so many people for his own selfishness. He is the real sinner and he should be put in prison and cut to pieces.
Xiang Nan immediately entered Moratti's mansion, arrested him, and then swept away the materials he collected, the gold and silver treasures obtained from corruption, etc., and then burned this criminal manor to nothing.
…
Later, Xiang Nan flew to the Kukulcan Pyramid located in the northern Yucatan Peninsula with the collected prisoners and others.
This is the place where Mayan ancestors worshiped Quetzalcoatl. It was built in 800 BC. It is 29 meters high, 250 meters in circumference, and has a total of 91 steps.
Adding up the four sides, there are 364 buildings, plus the Quetzalcoatl Temple at the top, which is exactly 365 levels, symbolizing the 365 days in a year.
Since ancient times, the Mayans have worshiped Quetzalcoatl here. They fixed the man at the top of the pyramid, cut out his heart with a knife, and dedicated his heart and blood to Quetzalcoatl.
Each sacrifice requires the sacrifice of more than ten human lives. If it was a good harvest, a famine, or a victory, more people would sacrifice.
Every sacrifice is extremely lively and grand, and people will gather to watch and pray devoutly to Quetzalcoatl.
But now the Mayan Empire has long been destroyed, and the remaining tribesmen are dying and fleeing. Even the Pyramid of Kukulkan has been forgotten.
When Xiang Nan found it, he saw that it had been buried in the dense tropical jungle. If Xiang Nan didn't know the location and could fly there directly, another person might not be able to complete the sacrifice.
…
Xiang Nan came to the temple of Quetzalcoatl at the top of the Kukulkan Pyramid, and immediately opened his bag, preparing to start offering sacrifices to Quetzalcoatl.
This time he planned to sacrifice two hundred people. These two hundred people were all death row inmates in Turkish prisons. Xiang Nan knew that these people were not innocent, and they all had lives on their hands.
Xiang Nan first prayed to Quetzalcoatl, "Great Kukulkan, the **** of the sun, the **** of harvest, the **** of death, the **** of destruction, the **** of wisdom, you are our god, you are the **** of all gods. god!
Now your humble believers are offering sacrifices to you devoutly, Kukulkan, please open your kingdom of God and accept the most sincere intentions of your humble servants! "
As he spoke, he grabbed a man, placed him on the altar, then used a sharp knife to cut open his left chest, took out his heart and placed it in the temple.
The man's blood gurgled out and covered the altar. There are many grooves on the altar, which actually collect the blood and introduce it into the temple.
It can be seen that although hundreds of years have passed, dark brown marks are still visible in these grooves. Xiang Nan knew that this was blood leaving traces.
It's so dark and heavy, and it hasn't faded over the past hundred years. It shows how many people's blood has flowed here.
And as the heart and blood flowed into the temple of Quetzalcoatl, the statues of Quetzalcoatl in the temple seemed to become more agile.
