Empire: Invincible Valkyrie

Chapter 2 The Evil Sirius

Legend has it that there are two gods on the grassland, one is called Heavenly Father, who is in charge of the four seasons and climate on the grassland, and the other is called Wolf Mother, who is in charge of the life and death of all things on the grassland.

In the grassland at that time, there were still few gods. In order to better manage everything, the heavenly father and the wolf mother fell in love and gave birth to a black wolf called "Sirius".

"Sirius" is brutal by nature, bloodthirsty and bloodthirsty, which brings great disaster to the grassland.

Heavenly father and wolf mother repeatedly tried to persuade them to no avail. Heavenly father was furious and sealed the "Sirius" in the copper pillar supporting the sky. In order to prevent the child from being born like a wolf, the wolf mother also sealed her own evil thoughts. In the copper pillar.

Then, Heavenly Father and Wolf Mother gave birth to twelve more children. These are the twelve righteous gods on the grassland. Without evil thoughts, the twelve gods are really upright.

The twelve gods turned into twelve patron saints, guarding the twelve tribes on the grassland. No matter how many years, how many wars and disputes they have experienced, these tribes are still passed down to this day.

"Hmph." Wo Hong's painful face turned pale, but his eyes became more ruthless. He stared at the excited shamans on the altar, with a sneer at the corner of his mouth.

"Okay! Very good! Since you can't kill me, then you just wait, sooner or later, you will definitely be killed!"

The black wolf head behind him was still greedily absorbing life, but now Wu Hong was completely fearless. Although a large amount of life energy gushed out from the neck, it was no longer important!
At this moment, Wo Hong knew that he would not die, the hope of life rejuvenated him, what could not kill him could only make him stronger! ! !

Wo Hong's will was honed in pain, and he grew by leaps and bounds.

As time passed, Wu Hong became calmer. He stopped screaming and let the black wolf's head greedily absorb the life energy. His eyes were terrifyingly quiet, and there seemed to be no waves.

But the herdsmen stopped. They looked at Wuhong on the copper pillar and looked at each other in blank dismay. The sacrificial atmosphere seemed a little weird.

The faces of the shamans changed greatly, and they were also frightened by this unusual situation.

"How...how did this happen?" They were discussing one after another, seeming a little at a loss.

"It shouldn't be... This child should have gone to the heavenly father at this time, how could he still be alive and well."

"Also, look at his eyes, it's clear that he doesn't seem to be in pain."

"The eyes full of hatred just now are normal. I don't understand, I really don't understand." The shamans shook their heads. According to the usual practice, Wo Hong should have been killed by the wolf head at this time.

The great shaman seemed to have sensed something, with a dignified expression, tightly holding the witch staff in his hand, his body trembling a little.

Man is the leader of all things, and spirit is the essence of heaven and earth.

There are all kinds of strange things in the world, some are called gods, and some exist in the world.Most of the spirits are divided into two types. One is the guardian spirits such as "Heavenly Father", "Wolf Mother" and "Twelve Righteous Gods". They are enshrined and have totems and temples.

One is ferocious parasitic spirits such as "Sirius", which suck people's vitality and trick others into offering sacrifices, which belong to the terrible evil gods.

Engraving the appearance of the spirit on the chest and making offerings to the spirit will form a totem, and you will gain the power and luck of the spirit. This is the usual habit on the grassland.

And engraving the appearance of the spirit on the back is a big taboo! ! !
It means carrying the bad luck of the spirit and sacrificing one's own life. In Wuhong's understanding, it is like tattooing a dragon on the body, Guan Gong on the back, and Bodhisattva, Buddha, Yasha, Zhongkui, Yama, and tiger. , five poisonous skeletons and so on.

But as long as the horoscope is not strong and the fate is not strong, it will be unlucky if it is light, and it will be fatal if it is serious!
Let the totem of "Sirius" be branded on the back of the sacrificed child in order to allow Sirius to personally take the life of the child and ensure the death of the sacrifice.

Looking at the black wolf that kept biting the child's neck, and Wo Hong's plain face, with the breath of life constantly overflowing, he felt terrified.

"You...what kind of monster are you???" The great shaman looked at this terrifying scene, his old face was full of horror, his whole body was trembling, and the witch staff in his hand pointed directly at Wohong.

"Wow~~" Wu Hong burst into tears suddenly.

The sudden cry made everyone stunned.

"Heavenly Father said that our sacrifices are useless, and the drought will continue. This is a punishment for us, to punish those who have weak faith."

"Those who do not believe in the Father will die, those who believe in insincere will die, those who are guilty of sin will die, and those who deceive the public will die."

"Until all the damned die! The disaster won't stop!"

"If you don't want to die! You must punish the Great Shaman! Appease the wrath of the Heavenly Father!"

"The great shaman is guilty! Heavenly Father is angry with the great shaman for collecting sacrifices for his own enjoyment. If the great shaman is not punished, the disaster will never end until everyone dies..."

Wo Hong was crying and cursing with a faint voice. In this gloomy cold night, everyone felt fear and their faith was shaken.

Damn, isn't shaman just playing the way of witchcraft?

In terms of people's hearts, I want to see who has played with whom!
While Wu Hong cursed in his heart, he pushed the matter to a more weird direction. As long as he didn't die, he didn't believe that no one would question the great shaman!

He cried more sadly, more earnestly, and kept talking about Heavenly Father in his mouth.

Hearing Wohong's words, the herdsmen were immediately confused, and they looked at the big shaman on the altar in a little bewilderment.

Even among the shamans of various tribes, some people looked at the big shaman in surprise.

"Nonsense!!! What a vicious child! You can tell lies at such a young age!" The big shaman was furious, cursing with his beard and staring eyes. When he saw that everyone was questioning, he quickly explained.

"Everyone, don't listen to his nonsense!!!"

"The ceremony has not been completed yet, this is a demon bewitching you! Heavenly Father will not give up on us! Don't believe him!!"

"Add fire!! Burn this demon to death!!!"

Seeing what the big shaman said, the other shamans quickly echoed, and then encouraged the herdsmen on the holy mountain, and the sound of anger and fear resounded through the mountain.

The fire under the copper pillar was lit again, and more firewood was added than before!
The flame ignited again, but Wo Hong just wept quietly, chanting what "Heavenly Father" said in his mouth.

"Burn him to death!!! Burn him to death!!!" The big shaman was frightened and angry. What the child showed was beyond his imagination. Because he really did these things, he was extremely angry and guilty. .

…………

The fire under the copper pillar burned for three days and three nights, and Wohong cried out with curses for three days and three nights. The severe drought did not stop, but became more serious.

The shamans surrounded the copper pillars very hard, dancing that weird dance.

"Hic~~" The black wolf on Wo Hong's neck stopped biting, he hiccupped contentedly, and licked his paw. After three days, the black wolf with only one head had recovered. whole body.

"噗..." After a puff of black smoke, the black wolf slowly sank into the totem on Wohong's back.

Wo Hong felt a sudden force coming from his back, and a smile appeared on his face, but he hid it randomly and continued to cry.

He felt a slight connection between himself and the Sirian wolf totem, and the black wolf no longer had the intention to kill him, but had a feeling of liking for him. Wu Hong felt dumbfounded, because it felt like he liked eating fried chicken , grilled skewers, and drinking beer.

Sirius Totem has regarded Wo Hong as a long-term meal ticket.

For three days and three nights, dancing that weird dance non-stop, the great shaman has reached his limit at this time, his body is abnormally weak, and his steps no longer have a strange charm.

"Damn it, why isn't this child dead?" The great shaman cursed in his heart, and his spirit was in a trance for a while.

It was already noon on the fourth day, and the sun was high.

There were bursts of distorted space on the altar, which was the heat brought by the high temperature. The stones on the altar were scalded like stone pots. If the shamans hadn't worn shoes, their feet might have been scalded.

At this time, a group of herdsmen gathered under such a sun, with indignant expressions on their faces, walking towards the holy mountain.

"Here we come..." On the copper pillar, Wu Hong opened his eyes, since the Sirius entered his body, his perception ability has been enhanced, and he knows all the troubles up and down the holy mountain like the palm of his hand.

He felt the villagers' anger, and they were shouting.

"Be sure to ask clearly!! Isn't it already three days?"

"Exactly! Why did the Great Shaman deceive us!!!"

"We have already said to him, offering sacrifices!"

"I want an explanation!!" The leading herdsman raised his arms, and the angry herdsmen behind him also shouted.

on the altar.

"It's not good!" A shaman's guard ran over in a hurry.

"Who let you in! Disturb the priest, can you bear it?" the big shaman said angrily, he was a little helpless for Wo Hong who couldn't be killed, and immediately turned his anger on the guard.

"Sha... Lord Shaman! It's the herdsmen! They're rioting!" The guard didn't have time to think, and quickly knelt on the ground, pointing to the holy mountain with a terrified expression.

"What???" Like a bolt from the blue, the big shaman's expression changed.

He hurried to the side of the altar, on the holy mountain, hundreds of herdsmen in thin clothes, holding machetes high, rushed up with indignation.

"This...how can this be done?" The big shaman was taken aback, he turned his head quickly, and wanted to ask other shamans for help.

"Huh..." With the sound of the wind whistling, there were no other people on the altar except the Great Shaman and Wo Hong.

"Bastard!!!" The big shaman was angry, and when they encountered danger, these guys ran faster than anyone else.

However, those herdsmen were about to arrive, so he could only pretend to be calm, still dancing that weird dance around the copper pillar.

Not to mention, it really bluffed some people.

Angry herdsmen flocked to see that the great shaman was still performing rituals here, some of them were timid and stopped immediately.

"What are you afraid of!!! We're here to ask for an explanation!" The leading herdsman suddenly turned pale, pulled out his knife, and pointed at the big shaman.

"Please give us an explanation, the big shaman!!!" the leading herdsman said angrily.

"You guys, why are you disturbing the ceremony?" The big shaman turned around, staring at them with angry eyes on his old face, and the witch's sword was covered with colorful lights, exuding a powerful aura.

Nearly half of the herdsmen were taken aback and retreated quickly.

And the leading herdsman, fearless at all, asked sharply: "Did the great shaman say that as long as you offer sacrifices, the disaster will recede after three days!"

"It's already the morning of the fourth day!"

"Why, the disaster hasn't receded!!"

"What do you know!" The great shaman got angry when he heard the words, and reprimanded in a deep voice: "The ceremony has not been completed, and the child has not been sent to the heavenly father, so what if three days have passed?"

"As long as he doesn't die! Heavenly Father can't hear us!"

"Why do you have to let this child die?" Among the herdsmen, a female herdsman had red eyes and looked at the big shaman full of hatred.

"Exactly!! If this child dies, the disaster has not receded!"

"At that time, which of our children will be a living sacrifice!!!"

"I think this child is right! The great shaman must be guilty, so the ceremony has no effect. The heavenly father has long been dissatisfied with the great shaman, so burn the great shaman to death!!" Someone among the herdsmen suddenly shouted.

"Yes!! It must be the big shaman who is guilty, so it has no effect!!"

"Burn him to death!" Some herdsmen who were full of hatred for the great shaman shouted, how much they paid to satisfy the heavenly father!What a price to pay!But still no effect.

Now, they finally found a reason to object, and they gathered together with a bang.

"Bold! You are rebelling! Aren't you afraid of being punished by the heavenly father!" the great shaman screamed, his voice was both frightened and angry.

"You are the one who turned against you!!" The leading herdsman roared angrily, and then he raised his sword and slashed at the big shaman.

Between lightning and flint.

"God's Punishment!!!" The great shaman yelled, his old face showed a calm expression, and in his hand, a large amount of thunder and lightning surged, and there was a blaze of flames in it.

"Crack!!" With the sound of lightning strikes, the fiery lightning blasted directly at the leading herdsmen.

"Ah!..." The herdsmen were reduced to ashes before they could even scream.

This move directly frightened the angry herdsmen, and they froze, not daring to move.

"See! This is what happens when you challenge me, you stupid fellows! Hurry up and kneel!!!" the big shaman snapped.

"For the sake of the seriousness of the disaster, I forgive you for your stupid actions! The leading sinner is already dead, and I don't want to kill any more."

Hearing this, almost all herdsmen dropped their weapons and knelt down in horror.

The big shaman was overjoyed, his legs were trembling, the blow just now had used up all his strength, and he had no ability to launch another attack, so he could only hold on, his face calm.

A shaman who is good at controlling energy is not even as good as an ordinary youth in terms of physical training.

If these people in front of him were besieging, it would be impossible for him to kill them all. He just needed to hold them back and deal with them slowly when the time came.

"Fire arrows!!!" Among the kneeling herdsmen, a few sharp-eyed people saw the embarrassment of the great shaman, and while he was relaxing, they suddenly shot arrows.

More than a dozen big men jumped up and stood up. It only took a moment to shoot the bow and arrow, and they were done.

"Whoo! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!..." More than a dozen arrows shot into the body of the great shaman.

In the astonished eyes of the big shaman, the herdsmen who were kneeling on the ground just picked up their knives and slashed at him, and they were chopped into meat in two or three strokes.

"Aww!!!" The Sirius totem behind Wo Hong let out a wolf howl, and a wisp of black smoke appeared, turning into a complete black wolf.

With a swipe, the black wolf jumped straight on the shaman's broken powder, absorbing the power of life and the energy of the colorful colors. While absorbing it, the black wolf let out a pleasant wolf howl.

Only then did many herdsmen notice the Wohong on the copper pillar.

"Save the child first!" said the brawny man who called to release the arrow just now.

A few young men with strong skills came out in response. They took the tools for picking the lock, climbed up the cold copper pillar, and opened the lock in two or three strokes, and Wu Hong's body fell straight down.

"Son, what's your name? Where are your father and mother?"

Several strong men quickly caught it, and then asked what they thought was the most critical question.

"I... have no dad anymore. My dad died in battle, and my mom remarried. I don't know where my elder brother, younger brother, and younger sister are." Wohong said pretending to be weak, lying limp on his back. Han's arms.

"This..." The herdsmen looked at each other in blank dismay, as if they were an unattended child.

Wo Hong had a panoramic view of everyone's expressions. He didn't expect anyone to take him in. He was very grateful to be able to save him.

"Let him live with me first, nothing else, a bed, a meal is still affordable." Just as Wohong was thinking how to refuse, a strong man with a beard and braids came to Wohong. Beside Hong, he took over his weak body.

"It's him..." Wu Hong saw the man's face, closed his eyes with peace of mind, and fell into a deep sleep.
