Quick Travel: The host is always seeking death

Nongxuan's body has almost recovered. In order not to arouse suspicion, he still looks weak every day.

There was no completion deadline for task five, so Nongxuan decided to take it easy for now.

-

Half a month later, Nongxuan ordered him to go down, pack his parcel, and plan to go to the northwest tribe.

On the carriage, Tan Xi helped Nongxuan tidy up the broken hair on his forehead, and pinched Nongxuan's obviously rounded face.

"I thought you wanted to go south, where the climate is milder, after all."

Nongxuan raised his eyes and looked at his chin, "Nonsense! It's clear that the evil wind is rampant."

In the real world, he has lived in the south for 17 years and only went to other provinces for college.

In his memory, even if he was wrapped into a ball, he was still afraid of the biting cold wind...

On this trip, the only ones following were Xu Zizhou and Lu Hua. They sat in the front of the carriage and bickered from time to time.

Of course, it was Xu Zizhou who lost every time.

He is stupid and doesn't like to talk. Every time he is so angry at Lu Hua's bad mouth that he can't say a word.

Let's have a fight, Lu Hua is a scumbag every time he can't beat her.

If you don't fight, Xu Zizhou can only sulk alone.

In Nongxuan's opinion, these two were living treasures. The five-day journey was originally boring, but with these two bickering, it went by quickly.

“The scenery along the way is so beautiful.”

Nongxuan likes to lie by the window and look out, "Hey, look, is that an eagle?"

"Well, that direction is the border of the grassland."

"Want to go?"

Nongxuan shook his head, "I don't want to go just yet."

He can't ride a horse.

If you go to the grassland, you will feel like you are missing a soul if you don’t ride a horse.

Tan Xi looked at Nong Xuan's profile, and he knew that Nong Xuan had a secret.

There are only two possibilities for a person's temperament to change drastically. One is a profound enlightenment, and the other is a change of soul.

Even with great enlightenment, it is impossible to change so completely.

Then it can only be the latter.

The northwestern tribes are not an attractive place; they are harder and more backward than other areas.

After knowing that Nongxuan wanted to go to the northwest, he sent someone to investigate first.

Ten years ago, a bizarre incident was deliberately covered up by the tribesmen, but ten years later, the cause and effect of that year was gradually revealed.

A woman named Lu Chaochao was sacrificed alive to the local "He Bo" during the Ghost Festival ten years ago.

This is just the beginning.

For fifteen consecutive days, Lu Chaochao's family members threw themselves into the river one after another, as if a curse was engraved in the blood of the Lu family in the northwest.

What’s even more terrifying is that the local northwest river turns red every year during the Ghost Festival.

Half a month after the Ghost Festival, in order to appease the anger of "He Bo", the tribe will find a woman whose birthday is similar to Lu Chaochao and sacrifice her alive.

To put it nicely, it means choosing a saint, the bride of He Bo.

The reason why Lu Chaochao was sacrificed in the first place was because of an epidemic.

No one in the northwest tribe was spared. After three days, the color turned white, after five days, the limbs became weak, after seven days, blood was vomited from the mouth, and on the tenth day, the soul returned to the underworld.

The northwest people at that time called it the "Ten Days Epidemic".

The outsider easily rescued a person and gained the trust and respect of the locals.

When he proposed to "sacrifice", no one objected. After designating Lu Chaochao, the tribesmen spontaneously caught him by the river and threw him into the river on time.

Drowned alive.

This kind of thing is ridiculous no matter when it happens.

It happened that the tribes in the northwest believed in it ten years ago, and they still believe it now.

Such a foolish person has no expectations for this trip.

His mission is only to protect the young prince.
