Chapter 99 Falling
On the sacrificial altar, Ye Leng'an stood there with one hand, with a beautiful smile on the corner of his mouth, "I hate it when people touch me casually. If you want to touch me, you have to pay a price."
Compared with that beautiful smile, the dagger in her hand was shining with a cold light. On the sharp blade, the bright red blood was particularly eye-catching. But on her body, there was no bright red on her hands.
"It was you, you killed my son." Duoji's eyes were red, and when he looked at Ye Leng'an, he was also full of hatred, "I will kill you."
"It was me who did it!" Ye Leng'an smiled innocently, "But, this should be considered self-defense! I didn't kill him directly, it's already a shame. You know, he wants my life."
When it came to the end, there was even a hint of regret in that tone. It seems that it is a pity that Nadoroch was not killed.
Duoji's eyes became even redder, the whites of the eyes were almost bloodshot, and his facial features became distorted. That face is particularly ferocious, which makes people feel frightened when they see it. If someone else hadn't stepped forward to stop him, maybe he would have charged forward and killed Ye Leng'an by now.
The Great Elder looked at Duoji's excited look, and said with a serious expression, "Patriarch, don't be impulsive, and focus on the overall situation. The most important thing now is the major affairs of the clan, and nothing else is important. Moreover, she is already a sacrifice now, and she won't live until tomorrow."
Duoji took a deep breath and tried to calm down his mood. When he looked at Ye Leng'an, his eyes seemed to be poisoned, "Ye Leng'an, since you want to die by yourself, don't blame me. I want you to watch your blood flow, and you will turn into a mummy."
Ye Leng'an just thought it was funny, "You said it as if if I hadn't hurt that wretch, you would have let me go. Don't make your words so nice. From the moment I stepped into this village, you probably didn't intend to let me go!"
She didn't think that Dorje was such a merciful, bad, good person. There are quite a lot of lives in his hands. Thinking about it, sacrifices like today should have been held in the past. Looking at the deep red blood on the ground, you know that there are many lives left here.
Actually, not only Duoji, but everyone in the village are murderers. I don’t know how many innocent lives died here. Thinking about it this way, just now, as long as Duo Luoqi had one hand, it was really cheap for him.
Doroch had been carried down at this moment, and the doctors in the clan couldn't help shaking their heads after seeing him. They didn't know how Ye Leng'an moved his hands that night, but the cutting surface was too flat, and the cutting angles between the meridians were very tricky, almost all of them were cut at the most vulnerable place, even if people wanted to connect, there was no way.
So, after some diagnosis, they could only start suturing and hemostasis for Doroch. As for the rest, they have nothing to do.
After Doroche knew that he was going to become a cripple, his eyes, which were already red with pain, seemed to be flushed with blood at the moment, which made people tremble with fear. He looked at his mother, Harimaya, and said, "Mother, you go and tell father to kill that **** Ye Leng'an quickly. Even if she dies later, I will flog her body."
He couldn't accept it at all. He became disabled at a young age. Originally, he was happy today because he was about to break the curse, but now such an accident happened suddenly.
Even if the curse is really broken and he can leave this village, he is a cripple, and if he walks out like this, there is no future to speak of. And all of this was brought by Ye Leng'an, a bitch, he will never let her go,
"Rocky, don't worry, your father will definitely avenge you." Harimaya's face was gloomy. She had already lost her disguise at this time, and she looked like an old witch. "That Ye Leng'an was a sacrifice. No matter whether her blood can break the curse, she will not survive after tonight."
Dizan Maji on the side looked at her husband, and didn't feel much distress. Instead, she had a strange pleasure, and even felt that this was retribution.
Of course, she only dared to think this way in her heart, and didn't dare to say it casually. Because she knew very well that if she really said it, she might not be able to stay in this family, or even in this village.
Moreover, if it is really retribution, then she is not much better as an accomplice. However, she is not afraid of retribution falling on herself, what she is afraid of is that retribution will fall on her son.
However, now that things have come to this point, it is too late to say. She has done too many bad things, and she has long been unable to look back. Now she only hopes that her son can find a way to leave the village, see the outside world, and live a good life.
Duoji on the other side also knew his son's condition at this moment. When he looked at Ye Leng'an, his eyes became even colder, as if looking at a dead person.
Facing Duoji's gaze, Ye Leng'an looked at him without hesitation, without flinching at all, "It seems that he knows the result! In fact, you don't have to worry too much, it's just that he has become disabled. Compared with those young girls who lost their lives here, he is considered better."
Although until now, she didn't understand many things in this village. But I know one thing, that is, there are many people like her who have been sent to the altar of sacrifice.
"It's their honor to be dedicated to the great Gu Gods." Duoji had a crazy smile on his face, "Besides, they walked into our village by themselves, and God helped us choose, no wonder anyone."
He never felt that he was in the wrong. People are not for themselves, heaven and earth are destroyed, they have been trapped in this ghost place for generations, and now they want to save themselves, is it wrong?
"It's simply a fallacy." Ye Leng'an smiled disdainfully, "Although I don't know what's going on with you, but if you really think it's an honor, then why don't you let your daughter be a sacrifice! After all, it's your selfishness."
"Whatever you say," Dorji said with a sinister smile on his face, "You have become a sacrifice now, and the sacrifice is about to take place. You will not be able to see the sun of tomorrow."
"Hehe, is that so?" Hearing Dorji's words, the smile on Ye Leng'an's face didn't change at all, and she couldn't even see a little bit of fear. "Do you think you can really treat me as a sacrifice today? You know, there is only a thin line between a hunter and a prey. How can you be sure that you are hunters?"
"What do you mean?" After hearing Ye Leng'an's words, the second elder, who had been restless, couldn't help standing up and took a step forward, "You did it on purpose? Didn't you?"
From the very beginning, his heart has been beating wildly, as if something beyond their control is about to happen.
After seeing that Ye Leng'an was not stunned as they imagined, but was awake, and even cut off one of Doroch's hands, the ominous premonition in his heart became even stronger. Moreover, looking at the appearance of Leng'an that night, there is no trace of fear at all, which is even more abnormal.
In the past, if the girls who were selected as sacrifices accidentally woke up midway, they would be too scared to speak when they saw such a situation. Even if they are really brave, they will look for opportunities to see if they can escape. Although they end up the same in the end, they will still try to escape.
However, now that Ye Leng'an woke up on the altar, he didn't show any fear or panic. Instead, he talked to them calmly, as if he had already guessed everything.
Even, no one knew how the dagger got into her hand just now. After she moved the knife, she didn't even change a bit, which can only show one thing, this is not the first time she has done this.
How could they easily count such a girl. Unless, the other party did it on purpose.
"Second Elder, what do you mean?" Duoji's eyebrows twitched after hearing the Second Elder's words, and he seemed to be a little bit refreshed at the moment about the unreasonable things just now.
The other three elders were not stupid, so they naturally understood what the second elder said.
Suddenly, everyone looked at Ye Leng'an seriously, always on the lookout for any tricks.
"Looks like I've come to my senses!" Ye Leng'an was still sitting there with a calm expression, "I'm curious, what's going on in your village? Also, are you all raising Gu?"
Actually, what she is most interested in is Gu worms. As a doctor, she actually has only a half-knowledge about things like Gu worms, so she wanted to find out. Of course, she was also curious as to why the people in the village couldn't get out.
"You know?" Duoji's eyes widened, and when he looked at Ye Leng'an, his eyes became more vigilant, "What is your purpose for coming to our village?"
After thinking about everything, when they looked at Ye Leng'an again, they no longer just regarded each other as a sacrifice, but as their prey.
"You don't need to know my purpose," Ye Leng'an shook his head with a light smile, "You just need to know that you can't do anything to me today, that's all. But, at this point, we probably won't be able to talk properly."
After finishing speaking, Ye Leng'an stood up directly, holding a dagger in his hand, and when he looked at the people in the village, there was no extra emotion in his eyes, as if these people were just ants in her eyes.
Looking at Ye Leng'an's appearance, Duoji smiled disdainfully, "I thought you had some tricks! It turns out that's all it is! You don't naively think that you can escape from here today, right?"
When he saw Ye Leng'an's confident appearance just now, he thought that the other party had arranged something, so he was so calm. Now it seems that Ye Leng'an wants to rely on the power of one person, and then leave here. Oh, this is simply a joke.
"Is it possible to leave? Can't you know if you try it?" Ye Leng'an sneered, "Even if I can't escape today, I can kill a few people, and I've earned it, right?"
Speaking of this, Ye Leng'an looked at Duoji and the other four elders, "Perhaps, I should kill you guys first, wait a minute, the chances of me escaping will be even greater, won't it?"
As soon as this remark came out, Duoji and the four elders' faces changed drastically, and they immediately stood together. Afterwards, Dorje took out a small piccolo from his pocket and began to play it.
Hearing the sharp voice, Ye Leng'an clenched the dagger in his hand a little bit, and looked around with his eyes.
Not long after, she heard the sound of Sisi falling, and then saw a lot of snakes, insects, rats and ants gathering in the direction of the altar where she was. Moreover, these are not ordinary snakes, insects, rats and ants. It can be seen that these are poisonous.
From this action, Ye Leng'an is sure that the people here definitely have Gu breeding. Moreover, this Duoji is probably one of the best hands, no wonder he can secure the position of patriarch.
Although Ye Leng'an was not afraid of these things, she still couldn't help getting goose bumps when she saw the densely packed snakes, insects, rats and ants. She felt that after what happened today, she might suffer from dense phobia.
The people in this village obviously didn't intend to let her leave here. In other words, these people are already numb to such a thing! After all, there are quite a few young girls who died here.
Since this is the case, there is no need for her to show mercy. The people in this village cannot stay. Otherwise, even if Duoji and the four elders died, there would be others on top. At that time, if those girls who entered here by mistake are selected, they will inevitably be buried in this place in the end.
Such a sinful place cannot be left behind.
Thinking of this, Ye Leng'an's eyes turned cold, and with a wave of one hand, the natal flame came out, and immediately burned all the snakes, insects, rats and ants surrounding him.
In just an instant, the densely packed snakes, insects, rats and ants had completely disappeared. When the wind blew, they dissipated immediately, leaving only a faint smell of burning.
Ye Leng'an's hand made Duoji wait until he was terrified, and his expression of confidence changed. When he looked at Ye Leng'an, his expression was a little more shocked.
"Who exactly are you?" The Great Elder stepped forward, "Are you a supernatural being, a fire-type supernatural being?"
Although he has been trapped in this place for a long time, the Great Elder still vaguely knows something about the outside world. Therefore, when he saw the flame that suddenly appeared, the first thing he thought of was the supernatural being.
"My business has nothing to do with you." Ye Leng'an said indifferently, "However, I have done so many unconscionable bad things, today I am your retribution."
At this moment, Duoji and several elders looked at each other, then nodded.
Seeing the actions of these people, Ye Leng'an was a little surprised, and then a sense of danger flashed in his heart. However, before she had time to do anything, she felt that her feet were empty, and a big hole suddenly appeared on the ground. Before she had time to react, she had already fallen.
However, when she fell, there seemed to be a black figure going down with her.
Duoji and others didn't see anything clearly. The big hole that appeared on the ground disappeared again and returned to its original state, as if it had never appeared.
"Who is the person who went down with her just now?" The second elder frowned, his expression was a little unclear, "Is it the people who came with her?"
"It should be impossible." Duoji shook his head, "Those people have all been locked up, and it is impossible to appear here at this time."
"Forget it, no matter who he is, if he falls with him, he won't be able to survive." The Great Elder shook his head, "There's no need to worry about a dead person. However, today's sacrifice may not go on."
The sacrificial offering will definitely not go on. Now that the sacrifices have disappeared, how can it be possible to continue!
"That's really a pity." The third elder stroked his beard, and his tone was full of regret, "This Ye Leng'an is the most suitable sacrifice for many years. If the sacrifice is held tonight, then maybe the curse in our village has been lifted at this moment."
After saying these words, everyone immediately fell silent. After going through such a time, everyone's mood is very low. Originally, everyone came here today with high hopes. However, now it has come to nothing. It can be said that just as much as everyone's hopes were just now, the disappointment is as strong now.
"There is no way." The second elder sighed, "This Ye Leng'an obviously came prepared. She is not an ordinary person. If she really confronts her head-on, how many deaths and injuries will be in our village tonight. Moreover, if there is no way to catch Ye Leng'an in the end, it will be nothing."
Of course, the most important thing is that if there is a real fight, those old guys on the altar will be the first to be injured or even killed.
Although they are not young, they still cherish their lives. Therefore, without too much hesitation, they chose this way to save themselves.
"The second elder is right." The fourth elder also stood up at this time, and said, "If Ye Leng'an is really allowed to kill here, we don't know what will happen to our village. Now this is the best way."
The people in the stockade on the open space below naturally saw what happened on the sacrificial altar just now. They were somewhat dissatisfied with the actions of the patriarch and several elders. After all, Ye Leng'an has been the most suitable sacrifice for so many years and their greatest hope, but now it has disappeared, how can they feel comfortable in their hearts!
However, when facing the patriarch and the four elders, they could only admit it.
Besides, you must know that the reason why the patriarch and the four elders have such status is not just because they are old and highly respected. Most importantly, their Gu skills are absolutely the best, so they are recognized by everyone in the village. Now that they have made their decision, they can only obey.
And, after all, no one is not afraid of death. If it was really because of Ye Leng'an's killing spree that he lost his life today, it wouldn't be worth it. Although they couldn't get out of this place, if the price of going out was to pay their lives, then they were unwilling. After all, if life is gone, then everything is empty talk.
"What should we do with those people?" Elder Si Zhan asked, "It's those people who came with Ye Leng'an. If they get out alive, it will definitely be a fatal blow to our village."
Although I don't know what the identities of Ye Leng'an and Huangfu Ruiling are, but they don't look simple. Today they have completely offended people, if they really let them go, they will definitely be retaliated against.
Duoji thought for a while, "This Huangfu Ruiling should not be an ordinary person. I think it would definitely be a good thing for us if he could obey us."
"You mean to lay a spell on Huangfu Ruiling?" The Great Elder immediately understood Duoji's meaning, "But, this person doesn't look simple, can he really be controlled?"
"Great Elder, among other things, I have absolute confidence in Gu worms." Speaking of this, Duoji's face is full of confidence, "As long as we can use Gu worms to control this Huangfu Ruiling and let him be used by us, I'm afraid it won't be so difficult to find the next sacrifice!"
This is the way he suddenly came up with. Ye Leng'an fell, and it was definitely impossible to get out alive. Moreover, there is absolutely no exit from that place.
If they continue to wait like this for the arrival of the next sacrifice, they don't know that they have to wait until the year of the monkey, or even if they can wait until their lifetime.
However, with the help of Huangfu Ruiling, it would be different. There were so many people outside, and with Huangfu Ruiling's identity, it was absolutely easy to find a suitable one. As long as they know, they can perform sacrifices again.
The most important thing is that if the first search is not suitable, they can also find a second one. After a few more attempts, they will always succeed.
After listening to Duoji's words, the eyes of the four elders lit up. Obviously, they are in favor of this approach. At the same time, I also felt extremely excited. The feeling of loss just now because of losing Ye Leng'an, the sacrifice, disappeared at this moment.
The Great Elder directly made a decision, "Those people should be locked up first. From today onwards, the four of us will assist the patriarch to refine the puppet Gu that can control Huangfu Ruiling as soon as possible."
Others don't have any comments at all.
Soon, all the people in the village dispersed. However, after knowing that there is a better way, everyone's mood is much better.
