Chapter 905: The Sacrificial Ceremony Begins
Yan Kuan and Shen Xiaoxiao did not know what had happened at the foot of the mountain. They had been closely mingling with the crowd. Due to Yan Kuan’s height, he had to lower his head. Fortunately, this Ah Cai was not much shorter than Yan Kuan. Therefore, he did not look too out of place.
Shen Xiaoxiao was petite, so naturally, no one noticed her standing beside Yan Kuan. Anyway, Ah Cai and Ah Gen were the people who were ignored in the village. It was normal for no one to notice them.
Moreover, the clan leader had to pay attention to whether the three hundred or so people had caught up or not. Why would he care about one or two of them?
Each of them had a dull look on their faces. Buda naturally knew what was going on. This was all the skill of the prophet. No one could surpass the formation set up by the prophet.
There were already bodyguards waiting at the entrance of the forbidden land. When they saw their clansmen coming, they immediately brought them to the bamboo forest at the back.
The huge millstone was placed on the empty space in the middle of the bamboo forest.
Buda saw the warriors they had sent pushing the millstone. However, he was far away and could not see what was in the middle of the millstone. He just felt that it was a little strange.
There was no white fog around the bamboo forest. This was also the first time Buda was able to see the surroundings so clearly. Therefore, although the millstone was curious, it did not give him as much of an impact as the bamboo forest.
There were still two hours left before the time, but no one said anything. All of them were quietly waiting on the spot. Other than the grinding sound of the millstone, there was also the swishing sound of the mighty wind blowing through the bamboo forest.
..
“Who are you? Why did you capture us?”
“You should call me Great-Grandfather.”
“Great-Grandfather?”
Da Bao and Little Treasure stood on the spot and stared at the white-bearded old man in front of them. They did not think that this old man had a good appearance or anything. Since he could capture them here, he was definitely not a good person. He even wanted them to call him Great-Grandfather? They wouldn’t call him that.
“Why did you bring us here? Are you a bad person?”
“No, I’m your mother’s grandfather.”
“Then why did you bring us here?”
“I didn’t bring you here. I brought you to meet your parents.”
“Then what happened to Aunt and Second Uncle? Were they hypnotized by you?”Little Treasure asked Shen Guoan.
Shen Guoan did not care what the child would say at all. Instead, he said to the bodyguard at the door,”Take the Young Master and Miss to change their clothes.”
The bodyguard knew that these two children were the key to tonight. He carried the two children and walked down.
These two children were also strange. They did not cry from the beginning to the end. Even when they were brought here, they did not cry. This Young Miss’ children were really strange.
Little Treasure held Da Bao’s hand and said that they would not separate. Moreover, the two children’s waists were tied with special iron chains that could not be broken no matter what. Therefore, the bodyguard could only put the two children together.
The two children were dressed in little red robes. They were all dressed like ancient people. Normally, the two children would definitely be curious and touch their clothes. But now… the two children had a bad premonition.
Why did they have to change their clothes? What were they going to do?
“Little Treasure, is Uncle back?”
“Yes, Uncle said he would be back.”
“That’s good. Those bad guys are going to use us to threaten Mommy and Daddy, right?”
“Yes, they’re definitely going to use us to threaten Mommy and Daddy. Da Bao, don’t be afraid. I’ll protect you. I’ll tell you that I secretly hid something just now.”
“What is it?”
“You’ll know when the time comes. Anyway, I don’t like that so-called great-grandfather. He’s obviously not a good person. Mommy said that the more harmless a person looks, the more vicious he is.”
“Yeah, he also has a white beard. He even hypnotized Aunt and Second Uncle.”
“Da Bao, are you afraid?”
Da Bao tilted her head and thought about it. Actually, she was a little afraid. But fortunately, she was with Little Treasure, so she wasn’t afraid anymore.
“As long as I’m with you, I’m not afraid.”
“Okay, don’t be afraid. I’ll protect you.”
..
Lin Jiahui paced around the room anxiously. When it was almost midnight, she saw someone enter the courtyard. She slowly let out a sigh of relief and watched the few people slowly carry Ouyang Jue’s crystal coffin out. She knew that the ceremony was about to begin.
Shen Guoan did not lie to her. He would save Brother Jue. He would definitely save him.
Lin Jiahui followed closely behind. When she arrived at the bamboo forest, she saw that the villagers had already fallen asleep. As for what had happened in the millstone, she naturally knew about it.
She stood in her designated position and did not move randomly. At this moment, Buda already fully understood what the purpose of the millstone was.
He saw with his own eyes that the chosen warriors actually jumped off into the millstone one by one. Their flesh and blood were rolling, and they were actually being ground alive.
He was so scared that his legs went soft. His two sons were in the first batch to enter this place. In other words, his sons had already been swallowed by this millstone.
Oh my god, what on Earth was going on?
What was the prophet doing?
Why did he use a living person to grind?
Why?
Buda’s hands trembled as he held the black box in his hands.
After the sacrifice, as the clan leader, only he could take down the black box containing the Yang-Revolving Pearl. However, he did not want to give away their clan treasure at all.
He even began to doubt whether their king would come.
And the prophet that he had always worshipped as a god had lost his mysterious and evil aura.
He seemed to have fallen into a strange forbidden land, leading his clansmen towards destruction.
Buda wanted to take his clansmen and leave immediately, but other than him who thought that things had changed, all of his clansmen became dull-witted, as if they did not know anything.
He already knew that it was over. This time, it was completely over.
At this moment, a series of ‘kacha kacha kacha’ sounds rang out. Buda subconsciously turned his head to look over. With this look, Buda no longer had any strength left. A pair of neatly arranged skeleton soldiers walked over from afar. They were encircled in a circle from four different directions.
If it was before, he would have thought that this was a miracle. But now, he only felt an inexplicable terror.
These were all skeletons. Skeletons! How were these skeletons commanded into an army? How did they do it?
At this moment, even Yan Kuan and Shen Xiaoxiao, who was standing at the end, were frightened by these things in front of them. Shen Guoan was truly capable. The skeleton personal guards were holding the line. He was really surprising.
However, these surprises were not over. Soon after, four huge snakes crawled over from all directions. They could no longer be called snakes. The heads of these snakes were already protruding. They could be considered as flood dragons. Their bodies were huge. They were about the same size as the one they had encountered when they entered the mountain.
They were like the sacred beasts that carried out this ritual. They slowly climbed onto the millstone and coiled together. Just this snake alone was enough to swallow everyone here.
When all of these were ready, Shen Guoan finally appeared.
However, what Yan Kuan and Shen Xiaoxiao did not expect was that the person behind Shen Guoan was not Shen Jinhe or Liu Yufei. Instead, it was a pair of their children. At this moment, they were wearing red long robes and were dressed in ancient clothing. They were obviously going to be the children of the sacrificial rites.
Why were they here? What happened?
