No taboos

Chapter 212: Living Sacrifice Ditch

Deep in the canyon, the stream turned a corner and formed a three-acre pool.

On the pebble beach beside the pond, there are three huge bronze tripods, each one person tall.

There was a fire burning underneath, the cauldron was boiling, steam was swirling and making gurgling sounds, and I didn't know what was being cooked.

Three dog goblins squatted beside the ancient tripod, pressed their front paws on the ground, lowered their front half of the body, and drooled from their mouths, as if they were very greedy for the food cooked inside.

Wei Huchen's face changed. The sudden appearance of so many objects in this place must be evil!

He glanced back and picked out the tallest one: "Go and see what's cooking inside."

The captain cursed inwardly and stepped forward helplessly.

The ancient tripod was as tall as a person, and it was inconvenient for an ordinary captain to see inside.

The tall captain walked forward cautiously, carefully watching his feet with every step. After walking for a long time, he finally arrived under the ancient tripod and stretched his neck to look inside.

Thick white steam floated from the mouth of the cauldron, emitting an enticing aroma of meat.

The tall captain was so anxious that he couldn't see clearly what was inside, so he puffed out his cheeks and blew a breath.

The steam on the mouth of the cauldron was blown away, revealing a thick soup with some bones and large pieces of meat rolling around in it.

Suddenly, a round object floated up in the soup. The tall captain saw what it was and was so frightened that he took a few steps back and tripped over a pebble, falling to the ground!

He came back tumbling and crawling, his lips trembling as he said, "Sir, what's being cooked inside is... a human!"

That round thing is a human head!
Most of the boiled skin and flesh had already fallen off, but one eyeball was still hanging in its socket, half-lost!

The team was in turmoil.

"Quiet!" Wei Huchen shouted.

Fu Shuanghui, who was behind, had already brought people to catch up.

Wei Huchen immediately retreated and reported the situation to the Lord Chief Lawyer.

As soon as he finished speaking, the three dog goblins could no longer hold back and suddenly jumped up and pounced on the cauldron.

A wooden stick suddenly appeared out of thin air above the mouth of the tripod.

With a snap, the three dog goblins were swept into the air.

The blow was extremely heavy, breaking most of the three-headed dog's bones.

They fell more than ten feet away, howling miserably, unable to move.

Fu Shuanghui's eyes narrowed and she glanced at the thousand-foot-high cliff on the side.

The rock paintings on the cliff came alive!

The wooden stick is exactly a line on the rock painting.

Wei Huchen couldn't tell what these rock paintings depicted at first, but after coming back to life, he immediately figured it out:
In the center is a priest.

Its body seemed to be covered with various feathers and hung with many beads.

There should be servants and some warriors around.

The wooden staff just now came from the hands of a servant priest.

The dog-god stealing the sacrifice was a great blasphemy, and the priest was furious and attacked.

The warriors walked down from the rock wall, holding bronze swords and bronze spears, and danced a strange dance around the three large tripods!

Everyone in the Shanhe Division was surrounded.

"what--"

The captains exclaimed in surprise and gathered together subconsciously.

Fu Shuanghui sneered, "Human sacrifice? How barbaric and corrupt!"

She knocked on her carriage.

With a loud crash, the carriage opened and a tiger-head guillotine was revealed inside!

These three types of guillotines were originally forged by the Shanhe Division.

Until now, only the Shanhe Division has the Dragon Head Guillotine!
"Get out of here!" Fu Shuanghui jumped onto the carriage, grabbed the short spear in one hand and held the handle of the guillotine with the other, and shouted loudly.

……

After Xu Yuan and his party had trekked for two hours, they suddenly saw a cliff in front of them.

"There's no way out," everyone said helplessly, "Let's go down the side and find another way."

Suddenly, a voice shouted from the bottom of the cliff in front of them: "Get out of here!"

Everyone was stunned and looked at each other: What kind of evil territory have we invaded? Are we being warned?
Xu Yuan's face turned strange: "Why does it sound like..." Xu Yuan made a gesture, and everyone immediately lowered their bodies, being careful not to make any more noise.

Xu Yuan waved to Fu Jingyu and whispered, "The method of sending eyes."

Fu Jingyu looked and saw a goshawk in the distance.

Then he cast a spell.

The goshawk soared high in the sky and flew over the cliff.

Fu Jingyu saw the situation below clearly and told Xu Yuan quietly.

Xu Yuan beckoned, and the two of them quietly walked to the edge of the cliff, stretched their heads out and looked down.

The rock painting warriors stopped and continued to surround the Shanhesi people.

However, the priests each raised their staffs.

Xu Yuan's eyes lit up: "Great! Let's fight..."

Unexpectedly, the high priest in the center waved the staff in his hand, circled it three times above his head, and then stopped.

A warrior came out and drew three patterns on the ground with the bronze sword in his hand.

A circle represents the head, and thin lines represent the body and limbs.

Fu Shuanghui frowned: "What are they doing..."

"They want three living people!" Wei Huchen shouted with an idea.

But the warrior was not finished yet, so he drew three more.

Fu Shuanghui waited for Wei Huchen to look at her, then asked, "Why doesn't it just draw a little man with five vertical bars behind it?"

Wei Huchen:?

Maybe these evil spirits are... stupid?
The valley was empty and the voices below were not loud, but Xu Yuan and Fu Jingyu on the cliff could still hear them clearly.

A person appeared beside each of them.

Di Youzhi and Qin Ze also followed.

When Qin Ze saw the tiger-head guillotine, he whispered, "Oh no, this evil spirit is going to be scared.

Just ask the people from the Mountain and River Division for a bribe and they will let them go.

My Lord, please think of a way to instigate them and make them really fight."

Qin Jianxiao subconsciously felt that this kind of dirty trick was exactly what my parents were best at!
Xu Yuan looked at him meaningfully: Forget it, this guy is a fool, I can't bother with him.

"Let's take a look first and then talk."

All evil spirits have a strong sense of madness in their nature.

Xu Yuan was able to negotiate with the dragon because that creature was not considered evil back then.

But Fu Shuanghui wants to use the tiger-head guillotine to subdue the evil spirits here?

Unlikely.

Young Master Fu looked more closely, shook his head, and whispered, "I don't think so. The figures drawn by the warrior are divided into two rows."

The warriors walked down the cliff, no real shapes, just lines.

Standing on the riverbank in the valley, you are not even a paper man.

The bronze sword in the leading warrior's hand is actually very abstract.

The sword drew these crude little figures on the ground, and every stroke was able to burn deep marks on the cobblestone riverbed!
There is a special power on its sword.

There are three little figures in a row, and there is a blank space between the two rows.

Then the warrior drew an "X" in the blank space.

Qin Ze was confused: "What does this mean?"

Xu Yuan raised his eyebrows and smiled: "There's no need for us to instigate them, a fight is about to break out."

Qin Ze didn't understand, and neither did the people from the Mountain and River Division in the valley below.

At this time, Wei Huchen also felt that he seemed to have guessed wrong before.

If they just want six living people, just pick six from the villagers and give them to them.

Wei Huchen would never feel the slightest bit of sadness for these people's death.

But what does this mean now?
Fu Shuanghui was thinking when she saw the six "little men" on the ground suddenly come to life!
