Chapter 439 Yan Xiao Yiming

In the face of this strange, terrifying howl.

In the presence of the saints, almost only the white-haired priest remained calm.

Her tone was even calm: "Bazhi, you send Xiangshou's head. It is placed in my repair room, and I have paid homage to it."

Aobazhi gritted his teeth and left without saying a word.

This is tradition.

This is the tradition...

Qing Qishu and Qing Jiuye were silent, with shame on their faces.

"Young man from a foreign land." The priest looked at Jiang Wang: "Didn't you ask me what the plight of the Land of God's Shadow is? Our holy clan had to let the young and strong warriors in the clan fight each other, and then the warriors who hunted each other would die. ... present his head, and that's our predicament."

"What is the reason for this predicament?" Jiang Wang was infected by the oppressive atmosphere, and his voice was faintly hoarse: "That cry just now?"

The old priest looked at him and told a story like this—

a long time ago.

A swallow without a tail came to the door, spit out human words, and said, "Good-hearted man, I'm hungry, I'm going to starve to death, can you give me something to eat?"

A kind-hearted girl from the Holy Clan brought some fruit.

Wu Taiyan said, "No, I won't eat this."

The Saint Clan girl brought it another bowl of rice and a bowl of water.

The Swallow said, "How can these things fill my stomach?"

The Saint Clan girl got angry and said, "What on earth are you going to eat?"

The Wu-tailed Swallow showed a hideous face at this time, and it said: "Only your head can make me stop my hunger."

After finishing speaking, it pounced on the Saint Clan girl.

This scene was seen by a holy warrior, who raised his bow and shot the swallow to death with one arrow.

But what was terrifying was that, the next day, the Swallow appeared again.

Exactly the same, Feather was not injured.

It even pleads with people in exactly the same tone: "Good-hearted people, I'm starving, I'm dying of hunger, can you give me something to eat?"

People already know its hideous face, so there will be no answer.The brave paladin shot it to death immediately.To prevent the strange Swallow from resurrecting again, the Paladins also burned its body to ashes.

But on the third day, the Swallow appeared again.

This time it cried: "I'm starving to death, please give me a head to eat."

Of course no one would agree.

The Paladin killed it again, but in the process of killing it, the Paladin discovered that it was much more powerful and agile than the last time, and it was no longer easy to kill.

Day [-]...

Day [-]...

Every time a koala is killed, it reappears intact the next day.And stronger than the day before.

No matter what you do with its corpse, bury it, chop it up, samurai even roast it and eat it... it will always come back to life.

Finally, one day, the holy warrior was no longer its opponent and was killed by it in the fight.

The Swallow pecked the head of the poor Holy Warrior and devoured it in a few bites.

Then he happily said to the people: "This is a head I ate, kind people, thank you! I am full! See you in a year!"

After saying that, it flew away from here.

And sure enough, it never reappeared until a year later...

When the Wu-tailed Swallow appeared again, the warriors of the Holy Race had been preparing for a whole year, setting traps and working together to kill it.Trapped its corpse with chains, put it into a wooden coffin made of dragon wood, and buried the wooden coffin in front of the tree altar, hoping to use divine power to suppress evil.

But despairingly, the Swallow came back to life the next day.

And, as before, it gets stronger.

In a great battle, it killed seventeen holy warriors and pecked the head of one of them.

When leaving it said: "I'm full, thank you for the hospitality! See you in a year!"

A year later, in the face of the Swallow's visit again, people have different opinions.Some people practiced their combat skills and wanted to fight with Wu-tailed Swallows again, and some tried to use new methods to prevent Wu-tailed Swallows from resurrecting.

At this time, a holy warrior stood up and said: "It only needs to eat a human head, why do we have to die so many people?"

The samurai committed suicide in front of the Swallow, offering his head.

After the Swallow pecked the head, it left without hurting anyone else.

This kind of "head offering" continues to this day, which is the predecessor of the "phase hunting" tradition of the saints.

The story is not long, but unusually dark and desperate.

A monster that can never be completely killed, and the more powerful it is, the more appalling it is, the devouring of human heads has become a habit.

People fear it and get used to it.

The white-haired old woman finished the story.

Jiang Wang and the three were silent.

The tradition of the saints "hunting for each other" is a great history of sacrifice.

But from another point of view, isn't this the history of a tallow swallow's taming of the so-called "holy clan"?
"I have a question." Wu Quji asked bluntly: "Since that Swallow can eat one head a year. Why don't you send old people or children who can't work, but let the young warriors in the clan What about sending it to death? In terms of value, it is not suitable. Young warriors should be the guarantee for the survival of the ethnic group, right?"

The old priest gave him a deep look: "The old man is history, and the child is the future. Losing history, losing honor. Losing the future, losing everything. We don't have a tradition of sending old people and children to death."

Qing Jiuye glared at Wu Quji: "Although my saints have to surrender, our backbone is not broken!"

At this time, Jiang Wang asked, "Is that tailless swallow Yan Xiao?"

Before entering the Land of God's Shadow, Qing Qishu mentioned this seemingly taboo name, which impressed him deeply.

"Yan Xiao?" Before the priest nodded, Su Qi, who was next to him, was the first to speak out of curiosity.

When the priest told the story of the Swallow, he had been brooding, as if thinking of something.

"Young man, do you know Yan Xiao?" The old priest looked at Su Qi with cloudy eyes.

"I once turned to an ancient book, and there was a paragraph on it that recorded Yan Xiao." Su Qi said hesitantly.

Jiang Wang's heart moved.The ancient books that exist in the present world record the monster Wu-tailed Swallow in the source world of Senhai?

This thing is getting more and more mysterious.

Everyone looked at Su Qi inquiringly.

He thought for a while, and then declared: "I'm not sure if it's true or not, I just say what I've seen."

"But it doesn't matter."

Su Qi organized the language and said, "According to the records of that ancient book..."

"The swallow is a good bird, and the owl is an evil bird.

People in ancient times hated owls very much.

Cut off the head of the owl bird and hang it on the tree to show the crowd.

This is the origin of "the owl's head to show the crowd".

This has also become a punishment that humans still use to this day. People often cut off the head of the victim and hang it on the wood to show the public.

It is said that after Xiao's death, his evil thoughts were endless.Only in the [-] owls whose heads are hung to the public will there be an extremely evil bird bred from the owl's head.

The name is Yan Xiao.

It is said that this thing is the evil thought of Xiaoxiao, because people hate the same bird, people love Yan so much, but they are so hostile to Xiaoxiao, so it takes the shape of a swallow.It is to kill in the shape of a swallow.In the way that the human race "likes", he harms the human race.

Because it was born from the head and was born with a head and no tail, the biggest difference between Yan Xiao and Yan Zi's appearance is that Yan Xiao has no tail.

Yan Xiao is the worst of all owls, born cruel, and feeds on the heads of living beings. "

At the end, Su Qi's voice even trembled-

"When Yan Xiao sings, he must eat a hundred songs!"

　Legend is actually one of the cornerstones of the real world.A nation without legends is incomplete.
