Brave the world of self-cultivation with the aura of Jack Su

Chapter 39 Human Sacrifice
The moon was dark and the wind was high, and every village was silent.

The chirping of insects in late autumn is sparse, making the night even more lonely.

Liu Piaopiao and Mu Yunsheng waited for a long time, but they didn't see any movement in the village.

Until the middle of the night, some people made small noises.

The two hid their figures and waited for those people to gather at the entrance of the village.

"Catch the thief first, catch the king, catch the thief and catch the stolen goods, let's not touch them first, let them expose themselves." Liu Piaopiao said to the young man beside him: "Do you have a photo stone?"

This thing is not expensive, but she never thought of preparing it.

Mu Yunsheng took out a dark blue spar from the storage bag, and replied, "I have it."

The things that the woman can think of, and the things she can't think of, are basically in his storage bag.

Some were bought during the Qi training period, and some were some trivial daily necessities bought after going up the mountain.

He likes to be just in case, so he always considers all kinds of emergencies, and some gadgets are relatively well prepared.

In the dark night, some strong men gathered together.

Everyone took out a black cloth from their pockets and covered the lower half of their faces.

The man in the head was tall and strong, and he said to the people around him in a deep voice: "We all do this to protect the village and complete the sacrifice to the mountain god. Evidence, you must forget about it when you come back, don’t let anyone give me half-way soft-heartedness, or don’t blame me for being ruthless, those who are timid and afraid can quit now, and I won’t blame you.”

The rest of the men were whispering together, and it could be seen that the morale of the army was not very stable.

Not all of them have participated in this event, some of them are newly added.

"Think about it, everyone. What will happen if we don't have any candidates for sacrifice this year? Do you want people in your family to be sacrificed?" The leader asked in a deep voice.

Some people may not have murderous intentions, but they have to follow the team.

Because once you quit, you are likely to face being excluded, and the family members may be taken to death in the next year.

Perhaps they would rather have blood on their hands than face such a cruel fate for their children and loved ones.

Between killing strangers and dying family members, almost everyone chooses to kill strangers.

Liu Piaopiao stood beside those people, frowning tightly.

She could see the hesitation of those people, and the feeling in her heart was a little complicated, but she didn't make a sound, just quietly waiting for those people to make a choice.

The deal made with the "mountain god" in the village is itself evil, and when the villagers want to maintain this deal, they have already started to make mistakes.

Their hesitation may be a little bit out of conscience, maybe because they are not used to being stained with blood with their own hands, but the more part of their hearts, don't they want to enjoy the benefits obtained through transactions?

When those people began to choose to sacrifice to the empress one by one, the chilling killing had already begun.

Liu Piaopiao and Mu Yunsheng followed behind those masked young adults and followed them all the way to the entrance of a village. The photo stone in Mu Yunsheng's hand had already begun to record the conversations and images between them.

"Remember, you are bandits on the nearby mountains. Although you wantonly bully women and rob property and food, you only need to leave a clean and beautiful one as a sacrifice to your empress." The leader reminded the people behind him.

They want to disguise everything here as bandits raiding, so as to avoid a lot of trouble.

Liu Piaopiao set up a psychedelic formation entrance at the entrance of the village, waiting for those people to walk towards the plot she designed.

The young and middle-aged people thought that they entered the village and did things that they didn't even dare to think about. After they started, the malice in their hearts was infinitely expanded, and there was no lower limit.

Liu Piaopiao and Mu Yunsheng stood aside, watching the masked villagers rape and humiliate the illusory images in the open space at the entrance of other villages, doing evil recklessly in the psychedelic formation, the two of them agreed produce psychological discomfort.

Those unbearable pictures were recorded in the photo stone.

When those people thought that they had returned home with a lot of rewards, Liu Piaopiao cast a blindfold on his face, and quietly replaced that false illusion.

She was carried on the shoulders of the leading man, and Mu Yunsheng followed her with a disapproving expression.

Even if it's a disguise, it's not impossible for him, why does the elder sister have to fight in person?

What if a man has dirty hands and feet and she gets bullied?
Liu Piaopiao has no such psychological burden at all, and it's not that she is really powerless and unable to protect herself.

She quietly pasted a puppet talisman on the person who was carrying her. She has completely controlled how this person talks and does things.

The masked youths stopped at the entrance of their village, tidied up their clothes, took off the masked gauze, and made sure that their bodies were not stained with blood. Liu Piaopiao pretends to be a village girl and enters the village.

After Liu Piaopiao entered the village, she was imprisoned in the mountain temple.

There is a lot of space inside the temple, and there are many lighted oil lamps in front of the statue. The clay mountain god looks very majestic. It looks like a normal burly man, wearing a mighty armor. It should be that the villagers imitated the appearance of other folk gods. imitated.

Mu Yunsheng stood by Liu Piaopiao's side, but his figure was hidden.

He waited to welcome the mountain god sacrifice with the woman, and meet the man-eating mountain god for a while.

Not long after, a group of aunts entered the temple, all of whom looked unfriendly. Behind them were a few men carrying a large bucket of water.

Those burly aunts held down Liu Piaopiao forcefully, and began to pick off the vestment that was cast on her body.

Although they were just ordinary disciples' clothes of Xiuxian Sect, they had exhausted all their strength, and the clothes still didn't move at all.

"Why are these clothes so strong?" One of them couldn't help but make a sound.

Liu Piaopiao had no choice but to use some psychedelic spells on the people around her to make them think that their mission was going smoothly.

She walked to the side and watched with the young man.

The aunts grasped the air tightly and vigorously scrubbed the non-existent priestesses.

After scrubbing against the air several times, they took out a snow-white dress and put it on for the non-existent person.

This time, I couldn't put it on again and again, and the clothes kept slipping to the ground.

"What's the matter with you? Are you old and dizzy and your hands are shaking? The clothes are always taken off?" People around questioned the person holding the clothes.

"I..." The person holding the clothes was also questioning himself.

Liu Piaopiao had no choice but to go up on it by herself, acting as a humanoid clothes hanger.

After making sure to bathe and change the clothes for the priestesses, the fierce-looking aunts finally left the mountain temple.

Liu Piaopiao touched the comfortable white clothes on her body, feeling a little melancholy for no reason.

"Sacrifices will be held in a while. I don't know how the 'mountain god' received his sacrifices." Mu Yunsheng said standing beside the woman.

He was still a little worried, not knowing the strength of the opponent.

But he still has a defense left by Elder Zhao, as long as the opponent does not surpass Yuanying, they can retreat completely.

Liu Piaopiao patted him on the shoulder, sighed, and said, "It's okay, anyway, I'll know when the time comes."

What she is going through now is what countless girls who died in vain have experienced.

Although they are all strangers who have never met, it is impossible to say that there is no fluctuation in their hearts.

She hated those selfish people who bullied the weak, felt sorry for those lives who were forced to perish when they were young, and disgusted such a dirty deal.

There may be inexhaustible evil in the world, and she can't control it, but as long as she encounters it, she must take good care of it.

Don't seek to get rid of the world's injustice, but ask for a clear conscience.

At that moment, Liu Piaopiao seemed to feel something in his heart, and he settled down in place, causing a small range of spiritual power fluctuations around his body.

The cultivation base that was originally in the middle stage of foundation establishment suddenly rose to the late stage of foundation establishment.

Mu Yunsheng was a little surprised, he didn't expect a woman to have an epiphany and improve her cultivation under such circumstances.

Liu Piaopiao performed the exercises, calmed down the spiritual power in her body a little, and then opened her eyes.

"What did the elder sister think of? It's really enviable to be able to realize it suddenly." The young man said with a smile on his face.

Liu Piaopiao took a deep breath, and said rather melancholy: "I don't want to get rid of the injustices in the world, but I want to be clear about the world."

Mu Yunsheng opened his mouth slightly, as if a little surprised, then smiled again: "This is really in line with the style of a senior sister."

Outside the door, the sound of everyone's footsteps quickly came to mind. It was the people who came to pick up the sacrificial empress.

The door of the mountain temple was opened, and what Liu Piaopiao saw was a fancy sedan chair.

On the top is a chair with a small bamboo shed, and below are bamboo poles carried by eight big men. Strips of cloth of various colors are tied to the shed and bamboo poles, and the colors are very bright.

She consciously walked to the sedan chair and sat on it.

The big men lifted up the sedan chair and began to sing incomprehensible songs, singing in a tone that seemed to be singing folk songs.

Every household in the village came out, stood on both sides of the road, and watched the sacrificial empress being sent to serve the mountain god.

Sitting on the chair, Liu Piaopiao saw Pu Xiuzhu holding the child from a distance, and Lian Rong and Hua Yue stood beside her.

She blinked and winked at the acquaintances.

Hua Yue and Lian Rong recognized at a glance that the person on the sedan chair was their elder sister.

They wanted to smile and say hello, but they held back when they saw the people around them.

The expressions of the villagers are very solemn, they know the end of offering sacrifices to the empress, and in return, they will continue to have a good harvest.

Solemnity is the last and only respect they have for sacrifices, and it is also their respect for the mountain god.

At first, only eight men carrying sedan chairs sang the ballad, but then the whole village began to sing along, and the atmosphere in the village seemed solemn and strange.

The villagers started to follow after the sedan chair passed by,
After walking for a while, a large crowd of people followed behind the sedan chair.

If Liu Piaopiao didn't know that this was part of the ceremony, he might have mistakenly thought that the people in the village were bewitched.

The colorful sedan chair walked around the village, then circled the fields belonging to the village, and finally climbed to a cliff.

Between the West Continent and the Central Continent, due to geological activities, there is a very deep crack, and the crack is under the cliff.

Liu Piaopiao was brought to the edge of the crack and held down by two strong men.

The village chief began to bow down to her with the people behind him, talking about his expectation for a good harvest.

After he finally finished speaking, he winked at the two men and threw Liu Piaopiao under the crack.

In fact, he was quite worried that the cultivator yesterday sabotaged the sacrifice, but luckily he didn't see that person all day.

Maybe he was invited out for something, maybe he felt troublesome and didn't want to get involved, but to him, the reason didn't matter, as long as he could complete the sacrifice.

Not long after Liu Piaopiao was thrown down, she grabbed hold of the cliff. She took out her newly bought Tang knife, and flew to the bottom of the cliff with the young man who appeared beside her, looking for the trace of the "mountain god".

Since the sacrifices are dropped from here every time, the monster will definitely come here.

The cliff was very deep, and it took a while for Liu Piaopiao to reach the bottom.

At a certain height of the crack, there is a layer of cloud and mist that blocks the sunlight, so that there is no light at the bottom of the cliff. Can see clearly.

Liu Piaopiao held Tang Dao in his hand to prevent danger from appearing suddenly.

Before taking two steps, she stepped on something that looked like a dead branch.

Looking down, it was a human skeleton.

It looks like it is a woman, and it should be a sacrifice that was thrown down before.

There were no plants at the bottom of the dark valley, only some hideous vine branches, and scattered human bones beside them.

Mu Yunsheng was very cautious, thinking that the information he was probing was related to plants, and he was holding a few fire-attribute charms that could restrain plants.

Liu Piaopiao was very careful not to touch the vine branches next to the skeleton, trying to find the main body of the "mountain god".

They walked for a long time at the bottom of the valley until they came across a very thick tree.

The tree's body was full of blood and monsters, and an extremely distorted human figure grew out of the tree stump.

"I didn't expect someone to find such a dark place. Who are you?" The humanoid tree tumor spoke directly.

It has spent an unknown number of years in this dark crevice, and this is the second time it has encountered a living person.

The last time was many years ago, and since then, it has gained new nutrients every year, accelerated its growth, and spread its roots all over the bottom.

"What the hell are you? Why did you ask the village above to offer sacrifices to you?" Liu Piaopiao asked back.

The opponent's shape is too weird, it can't be said to be transformed, and it can't be said to have no transformed form. It is in the middle stage of deformity.

　I was still thinking about how to write the epiphany, but as I wrote it, it seemed that I had seized such an opportunity.

　　When writing the inner monologue of the heroine, such a sentence naturally appeared in my heart. In fact, at the beginning, it was to eliminate the injustices of the world, which seemed a little hazy. Room' was perfected by myself after a bit of retouching.

　　I may not be suitable for writing an outline, because when I really write, I feel that the outline always has logical loopholes.

　　The protagonist seems to have his own life, going on his own journey, and I am just a bystander of the record.
