Chapter 11 Dead Man's Ditch
Cao Qiulan's guess was right, Yinhun Village was indeed preparing a live sacrifice.The villagers of Yinhun Village are obviously used to this kind of sacrifice, and they prepared in an orderly manner.Cao Qiulan and the others hid in the grass not far away, and saw that besides the village head and Mr. Lu, there were more than [-] young and middle-aged men present. Mr. Lu was standing in the middle of the altar, dressed in fine clothes.
Even people who don't understand the sacrificial culture can easily see that Mr. Lu should be a priest in the village, so it's no wonder that he has such prestige in the village.
If the small Yinhun Village is compared to a country, the village head represents the country's administrative power, while Mr. Lu represents the divine power.But in this small village, it is clear that there is still a very harmonious relationship between monarchy and theocracy.
Soon, the two old men were escorted up by several young and middle-aged men, and they should be today's sacrifices.Cao Qiulan felt that they looked familiar, but couldn't remember where he had seen them before.Although he lived in the village for three days, he did not take a serious look at the people in the village.Instead, Wang Bin said in a low voice, "It's Fan Zisheng and Chen Wang."
Everyone who had seen them was stunned when they heard the words, and Cao Qiulan also realized that these two people were indeed Fan Zisheng and Chen Wang.It's just that when he saw them, they were all crazy and unkempt. Of course, they had been carefully groomed by the villagers as sacrifices, and they looked like different people. No wonder Cao Qiulan couldn't recognize them for a while.
Wang Bin also met Fan Zisheng and Chen Wang several times because he wanted to inquire about the news before, and observed them carefully, so that he could recognize them who had changed greatly.Liang Feining whispered puzzledly: "Why do people in Yinhun Village choose them as sacrifices? Although I don't know about these, but the legendary sacrifices should be virgins, right?"
Du Zhenbang also said: "This is really strange. Although Fan Zisheng and Chen Wang themselves are crazy, and they have no relatives or friends in the village, choosing them as sacrifices is indeed the least likely to cause objections from the villagers. But since it is Sacrifice should be the god's will that is the most important thing? What kind of god has such a strong taste that he would like two crazy old men? They are not garbage collectors."
Cao Qiulan, Daoist Cao looked at Du Zhenbang speechlessly, and said solemnly: "No righteous god will accept human sacrifices, only evil gods will do this. But even evil gods, according to the records I read in the ancient books, No one likes madmen or old people. They do prefer virgins, or at least pretty young women or handsome young men."
Wang Bin said in a deep voice: "I remember Taoist Cao said that Yinhun Village may regard sacrifices as 'gods'?"
Cao Qiulan glanced at Wang Bin and said, "You mean, Yinhun Village used to offer sacrifices to Fan Zisheng and Chen Wang's relatives, so now they think that sending Fan Zisheng and Chen Wang there together will win the favor of the 'god'? It's possible, and there's really no other explanation. But if the 'gods' are still awake, I don't think they'd be happy about it."
Wang Bin nodded, who would be happy because the person who killed him killed his only remaining relative? "At present, the strangest thing about this Yinhun Village is their living sacrifice tradition. The eyes in Gu Yu's room, and the two black cats next to Ge Zhile's corpses, may all be related to living sacrifices. It is related. Our task may also fall on living sacrifices."
Du Zhenbang said: "You suspect that those eyes and those two black cats are the incarnation of sacrifices? If so, judging from the attitude of those two black cats towards Fan Zisheng, whether they are still awake or not At least they should still have feelings for Fan Zisheng. Perhaps, stopping this living sacrifice and saving Fan Zisheng and Chen Wang is the key to the mission."
The others didn't have a better idea, and they agreed with Du Zhenbang's analysis, so they decided to play by ear and find a way to rescue Fan Zisheng and the others.While everyone was discussing, Fan Zisheng and Chen Wang had already been escorted to the altar.Although the two are crazy, they will still resist, and it is only when a madman resists violently.But after all, they are old and not as good as the young and strong in the village.
Lu Lao completely ignored Fan Zisheng's dying struggle, stood in the middle of the altar, and chanted the sacrificial oration loudly.Although he is already very old, but he is in good health, and he is full of energy when he sings.Old Lu's voice echoed in the valley. If he didn't know the content of the sacrifice, it would have a sacred charm.
The forty or so young and middle-aged men next to the altar were very tightly guarded around the altar. Although Cao Qiulan and the others were always looking for opportunities to make a move, they never found any loopholes that could be exploited.Not long after, Mr. Lu finished singing the sacrificial oration, and a young man also went up to the altar with a tray in both hands. There was a sharp dagger in the tray, and the sharp blade gleamed coldly in the sun.
Time no longer allowed them to wait any longer. When Cao Qiulan and the others were about to act forcefully, a sudden change occurred.Following two shrill meows, two black shadows flew onto the altar and headed towards Mr. Lu who was standing with his head held high.Lu Lao was stunned for a while, and then sat down on the spot, avoiding the fatal blow from one of the black cats towards his throat.
The black cat that arrived later quickly changed its direction in the air, but because it was too fast, it was too late, and only drew bloodstains on Lu Lao's face.Although the bloodstains were not fatal, they could be seen deep into the bones. Old Lu covered his face and let out howls of misery.There was a sudden chaos on the altar, and the people who presided over the sacrifice fell down, and everyone couldn't care about the sacrifice ceremony for a while.
The village chief was stunned for a moment, and quickly reacted and shouted: "Quick! Catch those two black cats!"
The young and middle-aged people who were responsible for protecting the altar and ensuring the smooth progress of the sacrificial ceremony were a little at a loss. Hearing what the village chief said, they rushed up to catch the cat.But are cats that easy to catch?Even if it is an ordinary cat, it is not easy for ordinary people to catch it, let alone these two cats are extraordinary.They are extremely flexible, scurrying around in the crowd.
However, with the restraint of these people, they really can't continue to attack Mr. Lu for the time being.
Cao Qiulan and the others didn't expect such a change, but after a moment of stunned, they realized that this was a good time for them to rescue Fan Zisheng and Chen Wang.At this time, the altar was in chaos. The young and middle-aged people in Yinghun Village, some were protecting Mr. Lu, some were protecting the village chief, and others were catching cats. Fan Zisheng and Chen Wang were tied up as sacrifices. Tube.
Du Zhenbang said in a low voice: "Act according to the plan." It is said to be a plan, but it is actually just a very simple task allocation plan.Ma Lingling, the five war scumbags, was placed by them in a safe place not far away to wait. Song Le and Liang Feining, who are physically strong, were responsible for carrying an old man alone. Cao Qiulan and Wang Bin, who were not weak in combat effectiveness, were responsible for protecting them, and Du Zhenbang Collision.
Several people nodded to each other, and the black cat jumped onto Cao Qiulan's shoulder and pulled it up. Cao Qiulan took the branch that was folded on the road, and Wang Bin took his compound crossbow. The two rushed towards the altar at the first.In fact, Cao Qiulan carried a steel sword with him, which was handcrafted by an old craftsman. Although it was not sharpened, it was indeed very handy.
It's a pity that this sword was placed in the mustard space of his black cat. Of course, it was difficult to take it out in front of Du Zhenbang and the others, so Cao Qiulan could only use a branch for the time being.After Cao Qiulan and Wang Bin jumped out, Song Le and Liang Feining followed closely behind them and also ran out.They were only a dozen meters away from the altar, and they arrived soon.
The attention of the people in Yinhun Village was still focused on the cat. They saw four people jumping out suddenly. Before they could react and turn their guns, Cao Qiulan and Wang Bin had already dealt with the two nearby villagers Fan Zisheng and the others one by one. , Song Le and Liang Feining turned around and ran away with their backs on their backs.Song Le and Liang Feining just ran forward as hard as they could, while Cao Qiulan and Wang Bin cut off their backs.
Cao Qiulan practiced swords with an old Taoist priest since he was a child, and an ordinary tree branch is powerful in his hands.
Wang Bin had obviously practiced it before, using his composite crossbow as a weapon, but although he had quite a few arrows, he wouldn't use them unless necessary.After all, compound crossbows were not legally usable weapons in Xia Kingdom.
Although these taskers are controlled by the infinite horror game, they also live in the real society, and breaking the law is also very troublesome.He didn't want to be unable to reach the mission location because he was put in prison.
Most of the young and strong people in Yinhun Village were restrained by the two black cats, and only a small part came to chase Cao Qiulan and the others.
Sacrifice is indeed very important to them, but Fan Zisheng and Chen Wang are not the only choices. Of course, protecting the village chief and Lu Lao, who is the priest, is more important.With two black cats around, the young and strong did not dare to relax at all, which made it easier for Cao Qiulan and Wang Bin to deal with it.They are all Lianjiazi, so naturally they are not just comparable to young and strong people with strength.
Cao Qiulan and the others fought and retreated, and soon joined Du Zhenbang and Ma Lingling, and embarked on the journey of escape together again.Although the villagers are more familiar with this mountain forest than they are, they have already planned their escape route before taking action.
No matter what it is, being prepared is always better than not being prepared.Although carrying two burdens, it was only a little more detour, and several people successfully got rid of the pursuers.However, they were still the same as yesterday, after running a little longer, they stopped in a relatively safe place to take a breath.After confirming that there were no pursuers, I returned to the cave where I rested yesterday.
Even people who don't understand the sacrificial culture can easily see that Mr. Lu should be a priest in the village, so it's no wonder that he has such prestige in the village.
