Chapter 117 Human Sacrifice, Devil on Earth
Jiang Hua came out and said politely: "Since Zhelong Village is going to hold an ancestor sacrifice, it is inconvenient for us to interrupt."
"We'll be out of here tomorrow."
Ada relaxed slightly and nodded slightly.
Then he turned and left.
The peacock also chased after him.
The fat man said angrily: "Hey, what's his attitude?"
"We saved his sister's life, and he wants to drive us away?"
"Really a white-eyed wolf."
"Hmph, if Brother Jiang hadn't grabbed me just now, I wouldn't have beaten him until he cried for his father and mother."
Hu Bayi also frowned and said: "This village is really weird and creepy, and there is something wrong with Ada."
"How can normal people drive guests away?"
"And he is also his sister's savior?"
Shirley Yang Ze looked at Jiang Hua:
"Jiang Hua, do you have anything to say?"
Jiang Hua thoughtfully touched his chin and said: "There must be something weird in this village. After we leave tomorrow, we can come back quietly to see what the hell is going on in this village..."
After everyone agreed, they acted like nothing happened.
The peacock quickly prepared the meal.
Don't tell me, she's very good at cooking.
The fried food is very fragrant.
The fat man praised while eating: "Peacock girl, your craftsmanship is really amazing!"
Peacock smiled shyly and said, "Brother Wang likes to eat, so eat more."
At the dinner table, Peacock's brother Ada was also very taciturn.
After finishing the meal.
The peacock took everyone to a house. .
"Brother Jiang, we don't have that many houses at home, so we can only force you to build a bunkhouse on the ground."
Jiang Hua smiled and said: "It's okay, it's good to have a place to live."
"On the contrary, we have to thank you for taking us in."
"Otherwise, you will have to sleep in the wilderness."
A night of silence.
Zhelong Village also seemed very quiet at night.
Basically no one spoke.
There were only sounds of cicadas chirping and frogs croaking.
The next day, after everyone had finished breakfast.
He said goodbye to the peacock and left.
After seeing Jiang Hua and his party leave, Ada breathed a sigh of relief.
He turned to look at the peacock.
"Peacock, you shouldn't have brought them back."
"If the village chief finds out that you brought outsiders to the village during the sacrificial ceremony, we will all be in trouble."
"And your friends will also be in danger."
Peacock trembled all over and whispered: "Brother, I am grateful that they saved my life, and isn't it time for sacrifice yet?"
Ada shook his head, "There are still two days before the sacrifice ceremony. If they are discovered, they will definitely be arrested by the village chief and sacrificed."
Peacock trembled all over and dared not speak anymore.
"Hey, let's go, this is our life!"
Ada sighed and returned to the village.
……
And the other side.
After Jiang Hua and his party left Zhelong Village.
He quietly returned and hid in the jungle.
They are both warriors with a very powerful sixth sense.
He is not afraid of the poisonous snakes and insects in the jungle.
"How long do we have to wait?" The fat man couldn't help but ask, feeling a little irritated.
Jiang Hua pondered for a while, "I guess something will happen at night."
"Let's wait and see."
Shirley Yang also frowned and said: "I remember Peacock's brother Ada said that this Zhelong Village will soon offer sacrifices to ancestors. I don't know what it is for."
"I guess the anomalies in Zhelong Village are probably related to this sacrifice."
Jiang Hua fell into deep thought, "Then the ceremony to worship the ancestors should be coming soon."
"Otherwise Ada has no need and will drive us away the next day."
As expected, it was not what Jiang Hua expected.
When night comes.
In the middle of the Zhelong Race, a bonfire suddenly lit up, lighting up the entire night sky.
Villagers came out of their houses one after another, like zombies, muttering strange notes in their mouths.
And they were doing a weird dance.
But no one spoke.
The entire Zhelong Village fell into silence.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Hua and others couldn't help but feel chills in their hearts.
The fat man couldn't help but said: "Why do I feel so permeable?"
"What are they doing?"
"Since we are offering sacrifices to our ancestors, why don't we say a word?"
"Just dancing there?"
Jiang Hua was also confused when he heard the fat man's words.
This is really weird.
Shirley Yang said calmly: "Let's continue watching. We can't see anything yet."
"This should be just the prelude to the sacrificial ceremony."
Jiang Hua also spotted Peacock and Ada among the crowd.
The two of them were dancing together with the villagers.
In front of everyone, there was an old man.
He held a skull crutch in his hand and a hat made of animal skin, which seemed to be inlaid with gems.
Obviously this old man is a relatively high-status person in Zhelong Village.
Jiang Hua guessed: "This may be the village chief of Zhelong Village."
"In such backward villages, the village chief often has very great power and can even decide a person's life or death."
Probably danced for more than an hour. The villagers all stopped.
They were kneeling on the ground with sad eyes, as if waiting for something.
After a while, an old man wearing a birthday robe came out.
He walked into the crowd.
Sit down quietly.
The people around him knelt on the ground and started chanting weird songs.
"What are you doing?"
Hu Bayi frowned.
Jiang Hua also wondered: "Isn't it about sacrificing ancestors?"
"How to let an old man accept the kneeling ceremony of everyone?"
Shirley Yang guessed: "Is it this old man? Is he a priest or something like that who is in charge of the sacrificial ceremony?"
But the night passed.
Nothing happened in Zhelong Village.
It's just that the old man in the longevity robe has been accepting the chanting ceremony from everyone, and he doesn't know what he is doing.
The fat man yawned.
"Ha~ I'm so sleepy. What are these people doing?"
Jiang Hua shook his head and said: "It seems that this sacrificial ceremony cannot be completed in one day. Let's come back at night."
"If you want to take a rest, you can enter my storage space to rest."
The fat man's eyes lit up.
"That's a good idea."
Jiang Hua smiled and waved his right hand, bringing everyone into the storage space.
There are a lot of daily necessities inside.
Everyone set up a few tents and began to fall asleep.
The next night.
The sacrificial ceremony in Zhelong Village began again.
The light of the bonfire illuminated the entire village.
The four of Jiang Hua hid in the grass and watched this scene quietly.
Today's sacrificial ritual seems to have changed.
After the villagers danced once.
The old man in the longevity robe walked out again.
But this time, the old man in longevity robe was sitting among a pile of spiritual tablets.
The villagers below began to line up to offer incense.
There was a trace of sadness in their eyes.
The peacock couldn't help but shed tears.
The old man with the skull crutch in his hand came up personally, knelt on the ground to pray, and then lit the first stick of incense.
The people behind him also followed the old man and offered incense to the old man in his birthday robe.
Seeing this scene, everyone felt chills in their hearts.
The fat man couldn't help but said: "Why do I feel so permeable?"
Hu Bayi frowned and said: "What exactly do they want to do?"
Jiang Hua and Shirley Yang looked at each other.
"They... don't want to use the old man in the longevity robe as a sacrifice?"
When Jiang Hua said these words.
Hu Bayi and Fatty were speechless for a long time as if they were possessed by ghosts.
I was even more shuddering in my heart.
Treat people as sacrifices?
How is this possible?
We are already in modern times, and slave society has long passed. How can there still be sacrificial ceremonies in which human beings are used as sacrifices?
Even in the oldest village in the world, Shirley Yang had never heard of anyone using people as sacrifices to worship their ancestors.
"Let's continue reading first."
"If humans are really used as sacrifices, then we definitely can't let this happen."
Jiang Hua said in a deep voice.
Everyone nodded.
As a human being, this is the most basic conscience.
If humans are used as sacrifices, what is the difference between them and animals?
The sacrificial ceremony continued, and the old man in the longevity robe quietly accepted the incense offered by all the villagers.
Someone took out a wooden sign.
The old man in the longevity robe cut his finger with a knife and dripped blood on the wooden sign.
Then the carpenter carves something with a knife.
"Isn't this the old man's magic amulet?"
Jiang Hua said in a deep voice: "It's very possible, otherwise there would be no need for the old man in the longevity robe to drip blood on it."
Seeing this scene, everyone could feel that their speculations had gradually become reality.
Apart from using people as sacrifices, they could not think of any other explanation for the scenes that happened in front of them.
"Let's see what they do."
At this time, there was a sacrificial ceremony in Zhelong Village.
Someone pulled a cow over.
The green bull seemed to have foreseen his own fate. Tears could not help flowing from his huge bull's eyes, and he cried out "moo".
The next moment, Jiang Hua and others' pupils shrank.
All the villagers gathered around the green cow.
Then he inserted a knife into Qing Niu's neck, and several strong men held Qing Niu's body firmly to prevent him from moving around.
puff!
The green cow's blood suddenly spurted out.
All the villagers opened their mouths and accepted the baptism of cow blood.
Then some villagers neatly cut the cow into sections and put them in everyone's bowls.
People in Zhelong Village eat raw beef like this.
Jiang Hua and others shuddered when they saw it.
They could clearly see that these villagers had their mouths full of blood, like a group of demons.
The fat man's face turned a little pale.
The impact of this scene on him was really shocking.
"These people are disgusting."
"Ugh, I feel like I'm about to vomit out the food I just finished eating."
