Chapter 1038 The Holy Maiden appointed by fate

Not to mention, this puppet stand-in is really useful. At least there are very few people there who get sick, and the weather is smooth all year round, and there have never been major natural or man-made disasters.

The only strange thing is that every family there has a son and a daughter, without exception.

But if a family has three children, the girl born last must be the "saint" of the next generation, who needs to be sacrificed to the demon god to pray for peace and prosperity for the next 20 years.

This custom has been followed until the "ghost mother-in-law", the second child is a pair of dragon and phoenix twins, and the twins will fall to the ground one after another, and the girl is really born last.

They are all the children born by myself in ten months of pregnancy, how could the "ghost" be willing to send them to the demon god?

Perhaps others will abandon the "little" for the sake of "big" righteousness, and send the child away reluctantly.But she didn't. Instead, she concealed it and hid the girl secretly to raise her.

The so-called "saints" are women who are "favored" by the gods. After the previous "saints" are dedicated to the witch gods, the next "sages" will be received in a special residence according to the "divine will".

Nurturing it...is literally brainwashing.

Let them willingly dedicate themselves to the witch god.

Su Xin continued to listen to the narration of the "ghost woman".

Finally figured it out, it turns out that this "ghost woman" is actually Liuying, the mother of the "saint" who was captured at that time.

It is really a miracle that a female ghost that has existed in the world for thousands of years...has not turned into an evil spirit, nor dissipated.

Liuying talked to Suxin in detail, and fell into a long memory.

When she was young, she was actually very fascinated by the voodoo culture of her own clan, and she also had a talent in this area, so she studied it deeply.

But as she digs deeper, she discovers that the truth is not what it seems.

Perhaps the real purpose of those dolls made with their own hair and blood is not to become a "stand-in" for themselves to help resist disasters, but...

Liuying continued: "...Originally, our place was a large continent with beautiful mountains and clear waters and good weather... Every child is born, and there is no need to do those household registration levels, because the culture of dolls has been deeply rooted in the bone marrow, and every village has There is a big ancestral hall. After the child is born, dolls are made, and then brought to the ancestral hall for worship, which means to bless and bless the gods, and they can be taken back when the child is full moon."

Liu Ying's cloudy eyes were filled with tears, "If I had known before then that everything was a monstrous conspiracy, I would never have made a doll for my daughter, absolutely not..."

Su Xin saw the pain of the other party, but she didn't know how to comfort a... ghost.

Wait for the other party's emotions to gradually calm down before continuing to speak.

"According to the tradition, after the child is born, the doll will be sent to the ancestral hall to receive the blessing of divine power. Usually, it will be kept for more than 40 days. And this time is also the time when the mother is confinement. Basically, after confinement, you can go The doll has been retrieved... But I probably have a much stronger physique than ordinary people, and my body has fully recovered in only ten days. I will continue my research... That day, when I was breastfeeding my child, the crystal I researched Suddenly it began to flicker slightly. Then, I saw a thin silk thread slowly enter my child's body."

"I was terrified at the time, and I wanted to remove the silk thread subconsciously. It was probably because the movement was too large, and I still hadn't fed the milk, and all the illusions disappeared. I went to check the crystal again, and there was no light, my child. There was no abnormality on my body, I just thought it was my hallucination. Then at the same time the next day...at one o'clock in the middle of the night, the baby woke up, and I fed her again. Unexpectedly, I saw the flashing light on the crystal again. This time the baby There is another silk thread on the body..."

"I finally felt that something was wrong, so I sneaked to the ancestral hall of the village that night, took the doll back, and then when I was feeding the baby, I could still see the silk thread on her body, but the silk thread did not increase any more. Crystal It also no longer shines. That day, by a strange accident, I thought of the cave where the saint was sent, and saw that there was no one guarding it, so I went in. I found a deep hole in it... Actually, I have entered it before, but the hole is very shallow , The saint was sent there on the first day, and the saint disappeared the next day. Everyone thought that she was picked up by the gods. But they never expected that there is such a vast space in the depths of the cave, a very deep cave. A burrow. I faintly heard a "snoring-snoring-sound" coming from inside, like the breathing sound of an extremely huge monster lurking deep underground..."

"I was so scared that I ran out quickly. From that day on, we no longer believed that the saint was taken away by some god, and it was very likely that she was eaten by the fierce beast underground... Although I don't understand the difference between the doll and that What is the specific connection, but I did not put the doll in the ancestral hall, and then kept one of the daughters in the cellar..."

"Another "Saint" was sacrificed, and I brought it up at the time, saying that there was no god in it, and it might be some kind of very large and powerful beast. Everyone didn't believe what I said, because except me that night I broke into the depths of the cave, and never went in again. The saint was still sent into that cave. Because of my obstruction, the ceremony was delayed for three days, and a plague occurred that year, and she died Dozens of people. I became the target of public criticism, saying that it was because I delayed offering sacrifices to the gods. This is the punishment of the gods who are angry with us. People are more and more convinced of the sacrifice of the saint."

"After the previous saint was sacrificed, it was necessary to choose the next saint. Those people rushed directly into the cellar... People knew that I hid my daughter and condemned me, saying that if I delayed the sacrifice to the gods sacrifice, bring disaster to the village, that is the eternal sinner..."

Even the neighbors thought that they only had two children, but those divine guards grabbed it out of the cellar as if they knew they had hidden a daughter for a long time...

Everyone thought it was a miracle, and no one could hide it from the gods.

People came to their senses and condemned them for being too "selfish" and disregarding God's will!
It would be a great sin if all the people they harmed because of their selfishness were implicated.

The crowd was excited, and almost everyone started a crusade against their family.

No matter how glamorous and grand theories people use to make them "take care of the overall situation", they are still unwilling to let their daughters be taken away.

A fierce fight broke out, and in the end, because of the disparity in strength between the two sides, the guards finally took their daughter away.
