Chapter 98 Sacrifice
"Then let's stay a few more days!" Harimaya smiled and asked to stay, "You gave us so much money before, and now you only stay for a day or two, how can we feel good about it! You stay for another two days, and I will prepare more special delicacies in our village for you."
"No need." Ye Leng'an had a smile on his face, but his attitude was really firm, "We have other trips to come, so we won't be staying soon."
Looking at Ye Leng'an's appearance, Harimaya still wanted to keep asking to stay. But it was stopped by Duoji on the side.
"Since you are so persistent, then we won't keep it anymore." Duoji smiled, showing nothing unusual at all. He looked like a hospitable old man, "Then I'm here to wish you all the best."
For a dinner, except for Ye Leng'an and his party of three, almost everyone in the family didn't know how to eat it. However, even so, they still have to pretend on the surface as if nothing happened, so as not to arouse the other party's suspicion.
After dinner, many people did not go back to their own rooms as usual, but gathered together in the room of Dorji and Harimaya.
The whole family looked solemn, because what happened today was beyond their expectations. Originally, they thought that Ye Leng'an and his party would stay for at least a few days. However, now only one day has passed, and they are leaving. None of their plans are perfect yet.
"Dad, what are we going to do now?" Duo Luoqi frowned, with a hint of confusion in his expression, "Are you really letting them go like this? Ye Leng'an seems to be a very suitable sacrifice. If you let her go now, then if you want to meet such a suitable sacrifice, I'm afraid it will not be that simple."
And, most importantly, they couldn't live without it. Therefore, we can only wait for people to come and see if it is suitable. Once a suitable one leaves, it may take years, decades, or even hundreds of years for the next one to appear. For the rest of his life, he didn't know if he could leave here.
"We must not let them go." A hint of sternness flashed across Duoji's face, "This Ye Leng'an has a pure aura, and is also an extremely Yin body. He is the most suitable candidate we have encountered in so many years. This may be the best opportunity God has given us, and we must not miss it."
"However, we haven't made any plans yet." Dizan Maji said weakly, "Isn't it too anxious to act rashly now? Ye Leng'an and Huangfu Ruiling don't look like ordinary people. Moreover, they have brought so many bodyguards, we may not be able to succeed."
"Sister-in-law, you are just too timid." Duoduo said disdainfully from the side, "If you really care about this or that, then how can we achieve great things! Don't you want to leave here? You want to be trapped here for a lifetime, I don't want to."
"I'm not timid, I'm cautious." Di Zan Maji disagreed very much, "Besides, I also want to be successful! If you don't have complete confidence and act rashly, then the time will come to scare the snake, and we will be the ones who will be unlucky in the end."
"You have to know, as soon as they leave the range of the stockade, we have nothing to do."
"I think you are timid." Duoduo countered, "If we are all like you, then I'm afraid we won't have a chance to leave in this lifetime."
"Okay, shut up." Seeing that the aunt and sister-in-law were about to quarrel, Duoji yelled, "I'm still sitting here! In front of me, you dare to quarrel here, do you think I'm dead?"
Dizan Maji and Duoduo immediately shut up, not daring to say anything more. You know, as the head of the family, Dorje is the authority in this family. Seeing that Du Duoji was angry now, they were naturally a little scared, so they dared to say nothing.
"Then what should we do now?" Hali Maya looked at Dorji and asked, "No matter what we plan to do, the plan may have to be advanced. If we want to make a move, today may be the last chance."
If we wait until tomorrow, there may be other variables. Moreover, if their plan is implemented at night, the chances of winning are higher.
"They are going to leave soon. Now that things have come to this point, we must start planning." Duoji said directly, "Maji, in a moment, go to the neighbors next door and tell them that the plan is ahead of schedule. Let them find a way to drug all the people staying in their house today, and then lock them up."
"Duo Luoqi, wait a minute, you go to Yelen'an and put smoke in the rooms of the three of them. Then I will inform the elders in the clan that the plan has been advanced."
"Maya, you and Dodo should go to other people to help now, go to the altar, and get everything ready."
After arranging all the things, everyone dispersed immediately, and each went about their own affairs.
In the room, Ye Leng'an withdrew his consciousness, a wicked smile curled up on the corner of his mouth, and it was done.
I originally planned to fish, but I didn't expect this fish to be so smart! As soon as he saw the bait, he immediately took the bait. And, now she knows more. She already knew that these people wanted her life. It's just not clear what's going on here.
Although it is not very clear what is going on now, but I do know one thing, that is, she is a sacrifice! It's just that they don't know what they are going to pay homage to.
Ye Leng'an told Huangfu Ruiling and Li San about the matter through the communication symbol.
That's right, it's a communication symbol. Now they are in this place, there is no signal at all, so the mobile phone is basically an ornament here.
This afternoon, she gave Huangfu Ruiling and Li Sanyi a communication symbol, so that they could contact each other at any time. She is not a talisman teacher, but she can still make this simple talisman seal. Of course, this talisman was made by her before, and it was placed in the cave space that she carried with her.
When she took out the communication talisman, Huangfu Ruiling accepted it calmly without any surprise, as if it was just a very common thing. This made her a little curious, what kind of things could make Huangfu Ruiling change his face!
Of course, she can only think about it in her heart, but she dare not say it out loud.
But Li San, when he saw the communication talisman she took out, his eyeballs almost fell out. She felt that if it wasn't for Huangfu Ruiling's presence, maybe Li San would grab her and ask her all about it.
In order to give Duo Luoqi a chance, Ye Leng'an turned off the lights directly. Not long after, she smelled a strange fragrance in the room.
Ye Leng pretended not to know anything, and fell into a deep sleep. However, in order not to be found out that she was pretending, she still closed her five senses.
When Ye Leng'an opened his eyes again, he found that he had left the room and was lying on a place like an altar. But at this moment, there is a bright light around here, it looks like daytime. If it weren't for the moon in the sky at this moment, maybe I would really think it was daytime at this time.
At this moment, in front of the altar, Dorji and the four elders of the clan stood there. Their faces were solemn, but it could be seen that there was a trace of madness and excitement in that solemnity.
And under the altar, a lot of people gathered. It was originally an empty space, but now it is full of people. In the whole village, except for those ignorant children, everyone else came here. Even the elderly with limited mobility have already arrived here.
Although there are many people, it doesn't seem noisy at all, and it can even be said to be very quiet. Everyone just stood below and looked at the altar with faith on their faces.
Duoji took a step forward, looked at the people standing below in the village, and said loudly, "My people, after waiting for the year of fame, we have finally waited for redemption. The person lying on the sacrificial altar is a body of extreme yin, but also a body of purity. According to the records handed down by our clan, as long as all the blood on her body is released on the night of the full moon, when the blood stains all the patterns on the altar, our curse can be lifted."
"After that, we can enter and exit this land at will, without being trapped in this place for generations."
Hearing such exciting news, the faces of the people below were full of joy and excitement, but at the same time there was a trace of worry hidden. Because of this kind of sacrifice, they have carried out many times, but they have never succeeded.
Even so, however, they were unwilling to give up hope. No matter how many people are sacrificed, they must break the curse.
At this time, Ye Leng'an naturally heard Duoji's words, and a trace of surprise flashed in her heart. She had had many conjectures, but she never thought that the people in this village couldn't do without because of a curse.
Although she has been in the cultivation world for so many years, she still doesn't understand the curse. Perhaps, she has never been exposed to this kind of thing at all.
So, now that the village seems to be cursed, she is still interested.
However, she has been moved here now, and she doesn't know what happened to Huangfu Ruiling. She dared to use her spiritual sense to observe other people, but she dared not put her divine sense on Huangfu Ruiling. Because she really couldn't see through Huangfu Ruiling.
However, she always felt that she seemed to be a transparent existence in front of Huangfu Ruiling. She felt that if she really put her spiritual sense on Huangfu Ruiling, then the other party would probably find out right away. She dared not take such a risk.
Although, now she is in front of Huangfu Ruiling, it seems that many things are no longer covered up. But in fact, in front of Huangfu Ruiling, she still covered up her real situation tightly.
"Okay, let's start the sacrifice as soon as possible!" The old elder's voice sounded, "Tonight should barely be considered a full moon night, we must seize the opportunity."
Of course, they also thought about whether they should lock up Ye Leng'an first, and then wait until two days later to perform sacrifices. But thinking about it, I still think it's better to make a quick decision.
Leng'an and Huangfu Ruiling don't look like ordinary people this night. If something happens during the two days when they are locked up, then they will really fall short. Not only that, but it is very likely that you will lose yourself.
So, now that the decision has been made, don't hesitate, and do the sacrifice right away tonight. In order to avoid accidents and accidents in time.
Duoji nodded.
At this time, the second elder stepped forward and asked, "Where are the people who came with this girl! Where are they now? Especially the one in the wheelchair, has it been resolved?"
I don't know why, but as time went by, his original excitement has gradually faded. Slowly, an ominous feeling was slowly spreading in his heart at this moment. He always felt as if something was about to happen.
At this time, he couldn't help but think of the man who was sitting in a wheelchair but couldn't hide his dusty temperament. He always felt that such a man, even in a wheelchair, was definitely a strategist. Such a man is a very dangerous existence for their village. If there is any change in today's sacrifice, it must have something to do with that man named Huangfu Ruiling.
"Don't worry, the second elder, everything has been arranged." Duoji said confidently, "The people who came with Ye Leng'an have all passed out and locked up."
"After tonight's sacrifice is over, I will send them all away tomorrow."
The sending away here does not refer to sending these people out of the village, but sending these people out of this world. Because only the dead can keep secrets, and only the dead are the safest.
If those people are let go, then the secrets of their village will definitely not be able to hide. Moreover, at that time, they will face the other party's revenge. Therefore, the best way is to let those people sleep forever here.
"Since everything has been arranged, let's start!" The elder looked hesitant, and said directly, "Now, let's start the sacrifice first! If there is anything, it is not too late to discuss it after the sacrifice is over."
The other two elders also began to urge.
"Should we wait a little longer?" The second elder couldn't help but said, "I always feel that something is about to happen."
At this moment, his heart was beating wildly, as if something bad was about to happen. This was the first time he had such a strong feeling. He had never felt this way when performing sacrifices before.
"Okay, second child, stop talking nonsense here." Hearing what the second elder said, the first elder's face was not very good, maybe even a little ugly.
Because, at this moment, he is very unhappy with the words of the second elder. After so many years, the most perfect sacrifice finally appeared. Now that they are about to succeed, they might be able to leave the village and take a good look. Now the second elder is pouring cold water here, who can feel comfortable in his heart!
Not only the First Elder, but also the Third Elder and Fourth Elder were full of dissatisfaction with what the Second Elder said at this moment.
"Second Elder, things have come to this point, I don't think we need to wait any longer, but we should perform sacrifices as soon as possible," Duoji said impatiently, "It's not good to avoid extra problems, isn't it?"
People in the audience also began to speak out.
"Start the sacrifice, start the sacrifice."
There was a lot of voices, and everyone began to feel a little anxious. They gathered here at this time just to perform sacrifices. Now that the sacrifice has not started, they are naturally anxious. You know, this kind of thing is related to the whole village.
Seeing that the situation was getting a little out of control, the Second Elder's heartbeat became faster and faster, and the feeling of jitteriness became stronger and stronger. But he also knew in his heart that at this point, there was no way out. Moreover, everyone's desire to start the sacrifice was very strong, and he couldn't stop it alone, so he could only retreat silently to the place where he stood just now.
Without the stop of the second elder, Duoji directly took out a dagger. The blade of the dagger was extremely sharp, and under the light, it shone with a white light, making people feel a chill and resentment. I don't know how many people died under this dagger.
Holding the dagger, Duoji came to Ye Leng'an, stretched out his hand, and planned to cut off Ye Leng'an's wrist.
However, at this moment, something happened suddenly.
Ye Leng'an suddenly opened his eyes, and then directly supported it with his hands, and then sat up on the altar. After looking around, the words that came out of his mouth shocked everyone present.
"Master Duo, if you want me to be a sacrifice, don't you ask my opinion?" Ye Lengan sat on the altar with a calm expression on his face, looking completely flustered, as if he just had a casual conversation with you after waking up.
"You—" Duoji's eyes widened, and he looked at Ye Leng'an in disbelief, "How did you wake up? Also, how much do you know?"
He never expected that Ye Leng'an would come over suddenly. And what surprised him the most was that after waking up, Ye Leng'an couldn't help showing no trace of fear, instead he looked calm and breezy.
Such a strange performance made people feel a little creepy after seeing it.
"Why are the patriarchs in such a hurry!" Ye Leng'an smiled lazily, "Speaking of it, I'm not sure I was woken up by you. But, don't do anything wrong, and don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. If you feel scared when you see me now, then you must have done something bad!"
"Death is imminent, and you are still so sharp." Duoji was also a little flustered from the beginning, but immediately regained his composure. "Since you are awake, it would be better. I want you to feel all the blood on your body flow out when you are awake."
"From this point of view, this village is really not a good place!" Ye Leng'an couldn't help sighing, "I didn't expect that this place is actually a den of thieves! However, it may not be appropriate to say that it is a den of thieves. After all, those little thieves are only after money, and you are after my life."
Not only Dorji, but the other four elders were also taken aback when they saw Ye Lengan wake up suddenly. At the same time, they are also worried that something will happen.
So the Great Elder hurriedly urged, "Patriarch, let's do it quickly! Don't procrastinate here."
Ye Leng'an looked at Duoji, and then looked around, "The patriarch is planning to do it himself! Maybe, do you think that I will just catch me with my hands and let you kill me?"
Duoji picked up the dagger, the cold silver light was shining brightly, and there was a sinister smile on his face, "Ye Leng'an, I advise you to be obedient, maybe you can suffer less. Wait a minute, I just cut down lightly, you will only feel a little pain, and it will pass soon."
"However, if you want to resist, then don't blame us for not being sympathetic. It will be you who will suffer then."
"Fart." Ye Leng'an had a smile on his face, but what he said was irritating to death, "I'm not a fool, how could I let you slaughter me! Sir patriarch, I think you are old, so you are a little confused!"
"You—" Duoji was so angry at Ye Leng'an's words.
He turned his head and looked at his son in the crowd, "Roach, some of you come here and tie up Ye Leng'an."
After hearing the order, Duo Luoqi and several young men came directly to the sacrificial altar and walked towards Ye Leng'an.
When he came to Ye Leng'an, a flash of surprise and pity flashed in Doroqi's eyes. Such a stunning beauty, although she is not yet an adult, her appearance is already unmatched by anyone. If this girl grows up, I'm afraid she will be even more stunning.
However, this stunning beauty is doomed to perish today.
Just when Duo Luoqi was about to put his hand on Ye Leng'an's shoulder, everyone felt a flash of light before their eyes.
Finally, with a scream, Doroche fell to his knees. His body was covered in blood, and he was screaming sharply at this moment. And on the ground not far from him, there was a **** palm. The palm of Doroch's right hand could no longer be seen, and he was covering the wound with his left hand, almost fainting from the pain.
"Roach." Duoji screamed, and he found that the dagger in his hand had disappeared.
No, perhaps, the dagger he was holding in his hand, somehow, ended up in Ye Leng'an's hands. And Doroch's right hand was severed by this dagger.
Duoji hurried forward, but he didn't know what he could do.
