Marrying the dandy prince, the princess wants to usurp the throne
Chapter 151 The Truth of Sacrifice
This village holds a sacrifice almost every six months, and the purpose of the sacrifice is to pray for peace and prosperity in the village and good weather in the coming year.
For each sacrifice, 15 women and children are required. The altar in front of us should be the one from when the last sacrifice was not yet completed.
There is a priest in the village named Jialian. According to records, he came to the village ten years ago and became the priest here. He has been holding sacrificial ceremonies.
The villagers had complete faith in the priest and believed almost everything the priest said.
The people here have never received any education. They only know to get up early to work and sleep at night.
The mind is simpler, so it is naturally easier to control.
There are not many men in the village, and most of the children born are girls. Almost nine out of ten children are girls, so offering them for sacrifice will not affect their inheritance.
Even the priests said that this place was cursed. That's why there are more girls than boys. If you want to break this curse, you must use women and children for sacrifice.
Boys are their precious products, so generally only female infants are used for sacrifice.
"They sacrificed a full 300 people before they completely disappeared here."
Mu Jiusheng felt it was cruel just looking at the numbers.
No one in the village really raised any doubts.
"I guess someone raised doubts, but because the majority of people believed in the priests, that person became the priest's sacrificial offering."
Ji Huaiyu pointed to several people in the book. They were not women or children, but young and middle-aged men who were rare in the village. However, these five people were taken out for sacrifice 25 years ago.
"I guess it's because these five people questioned the priest or found something wrong with the priest. But they didn't expect that the people in the village didn't believe them. Instead, they thought they were sent by the devil to deal with them."
Just guessing how desperate the five people were at that time was enough. And this was just judging by the gender of the remaining women and children. There was no way to know how many people had doubted the priest and became sacrifices.
"This should be Jia Lian's master bedroom."
Mu Jiusheng walked around the altar and found a passage. After passing through the passage, he could see an abandoned bedroom.
The bedroom, perhaps due to the flood that year, had collapsed beyond recognition and was barely wide enough for one person to fit in.
Mu Jiusheng searched inside for a long time and finally found a book in a corner.
The contents of the book were exactly the barrier they had been looking for for a long time.
"Found it, this is the barrier in southern Xinjiang!"
Their guess was correct. This Jia Lian was from Southern Xinjiang, but it was unknown why he came from Southern Xinjiang.
Mu Jiusheng opened the book. The contents were somewhat obscure and difficult to understand, but one page in the book allowed Mu Jiusheng to know the truth of that year.
When Jialian came to this village, he was extremely hungry. An old man in the village felt sorry for Jialian, took him to his home and gave him food.
After talking with the old man, Jialian discovered that this village was isolated from the world. Everyone only farmed near the waterfall and never communicated with the outside world.
This is an excellent experimental subject for Jialian.
So he fashioned himself into a priest who came to save them.
Tell them that the reason why no boys were born in their village was because they were cursed, and the way to lift the curse was to perform a sacrifice.
Later, Jialian became the priest of Taohua Village and was worshipped by almost everyone.
However, five young men suddenly appeared in front of Twenty-Five and questioned Jialian.
The sisters of these five young people became sacrifices for this sacrifice, but they did not believe in the so-called curse, so they questioned Jialian.
Originally, they thought that at least some of the villagers would be able to stand behind them, but what they didn't know was that Jia Lian could cast a barrier. He cast a barrier for the villagers and created an illusion within the barrier, making the villagers think that the five young men were possessed by demons. So, Jia Lian stood up at this time and said that they had been possessed by demons and their real souls were dead. The only way to eradicate the demons was to offer sacrifices!
As a result, the five young men were mercilessly sent to the altar by the villagers.
After seeing all this, Mu Jiusheng even wanted to kill Jia Lian.
The old man in this village may never have thought until his death that his kindness would lead the entire village to its doom!!!
Mu Jiusheng sighed and felt pity for the five young people, but he did not feel sympathy for them.
They were just being reckless, questioning the priest without knowing his true strength. Obviously, the priest was in the dark while they were in the light, so how could they win such a battle?
"It will take a while to learn these things. I don't know if Lu'e has found anyone to save us."
Mu Jiusheng sighed as he looked at the obscure contents in the book.
Ji Huaiyu smiled and took the book over. "Leave the matter of the barrier to me."
Mu Jiusheng was stunned for a moment, "Have you learned it?"
The content in this book is not entry-level, and it is all about how to solve and build barriers.
For someone like him who doesn't even know how to get started, there's no point in reading books.
"I met a man before, and he taught me. But he probably didn't learn anything particularly profound, so he only taught me some entry-level barriers. But it was enough."
Ji Huaiyu is not someone who would just indulge in wine and women casually.
While he was living a life of debauchery, he met an old man. He was a wandering old man with no fixed place to live. He just happened to be out of money and met him.
At that time, he saw that Ji Huaiyu had money and kept holding on to him.
Later, after knowing Ji Huaiyu's situation, he gave Ji Huaiyu the introduction to the barrier, and said mysteriously that this was a move that only gods could learn.
Ji Huaiyu was smart and learned it quickly. The old man also left. As for where he is now, Ji Huaiyu himself doesn’t know.
Mu Jiusheng breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately you are here."
If she stayed here alone, she probably wouldn't know how to get out.
Ji Huaiyu touched Mu Jiusheng's head and said, "You are already very smart."
Ji Huaiyu studied in the cave for seven days and seven nights. During these seven days, Mu Jiusheng and Ji Huaiyu had eaten all the food they had. Mu Jiusheng felt that if Ji Huaiyu couldn't do anything else and Lu'e couldn't let anyone in, they would probably starve to death here.
