Chapter 311 I'll Let Them All Be Buried
In the previous life, the Zhou Dynasty had human sacrifices, which were mostly carried out in major sacrificial activities, such as sacrifices to heaven, sacrifices to earth, and sacrifices to ancestors.
The ancients believed that by offering human sacrifices, they could please the gods or ancestors and thus gain their blessings, which would bless the country with good weather, good harvests, and peace and prosperity for the people.
Master Bai sighed and said:
"These people are too foolish. Prime Minister Liu, I remember that human sacrifice has been abolished, hasn't it?"
Liu Quanzhou said helplessly:
“It was indeed abolished, but the emperor later reinstated it.
Zhang Xuanling, the director of the Imperial Astronomical Observatory, submitted a memorial stating that only by offering a living human being to demonstrate the Great Qi's reverence for Heaven can the wrath of Heaven be appeased and protection be obtained.
Madam Bai angrily said, "How foolish! He's the director of the Imperial Observatory!"
Master Bai shook his head and said, "He is Su Zheng's dog."
Mrs. Bai gnashed her teeth and said, "So that's how it is, Su Zheng. I really hate him."
Niu Dazhuang was confused. He looked at them and said, "Guests, should we think about what to do next?"
"What should I do? Just leave it alone..." Mrs. Bai was in a bad mood.
Master Bai looked at Niu Dazhuang and said, "Don't worry! We won't run away!"
Niu Dazhuang's face was full of anxiety, and his voice was trembling:
"How could you not run? The High Priest is an extremely terrifying existence. He is proficient in the art of poisoning insects. We will hold a sacrifice tomorrow.
According to tradition, ten boys and girls must be selected and tied up in a cave as sacrifices.
Aren't you afraid? Run away, or it will be too late!"
Master Bai looked at him and said, "Where can we run? Can we really run away?"
Niu Dazhuang looked outside and saw that the village was surrounded by three layers of walls, and he fell silent.
I don’t know what the high priest was thinking this time. He was determined to kill them all and didn’t even bother pretending.
Lin Wanwan had a bad feeling in her heart, and sure enough, Naitang came in with a squeak. Naitian translated, "The high priest is a bad guy. He's surrounded by snakes."
Lin Wanwan suddenly missed Baling County. Baling County had encountered two tribes before, the Shadow Tribe and the Spirit Snake Tribe.
The Spirit Snake Tribe used snakes as poison. At night, the high priest walked directly into Daofeng Village and said to Master Bai and his group, "Give me the lucky star in your hands, and I can give you a way out."
Wang Qiuju, who was standing next to her, looked at Zhao Qiaoniang with a half-smile and said:
"The high priest has given you a chance, so quickly hand over your family's lucky star!
Don't make the high priest angry, or you won't be able to bear the consequences."
Zhao Qiaoniang looked at her and said, "Wang Qiuju, you're mentally abnormal, aren't you? Why are you holding on to us so tightly?"
"Pervert? Hahahaha... Zhao Qiaoniang, you are the one who is perverted! If it weren't for you, would I be like this now?
It's all your fault for being so stubborn. You're the one who created this situation." Wang Qiuju stared at her intently.
Now Wang Qiuju had no other thoughts but to wish the death of Zhao Qiaoniang and her group.
Zhao Qiaoniang looked at her and said:
"You're so funny. You're trying to force me to do something you can't do.
When you were kidnapped by those monks, I certainly didn't save you, but if it were you, would you save us?"
"Stop talking, don't say anything. It's you who harmed us, Zhao Qiaoniang. You are dead." Wang Qiuju's eyes were red as she stared at her.
Wang Qiuju has now officially become the village chief of Wangjia Village. She now has the final say in Wangjia Village.
Wang Dali, the village chief of Wangjia Village, voluntarily gave up this position because Wang Qiuju was cruel to himself and even crueler to others.
Along the way, she killed gods and Buddhas she met. What a woman did was cruel and ruthless.
Those who can survive the disaster are either some lucky ones or those who are extremely cruel.
Wangjia Village has accumulated several carts of food now. How can it be explained by good luck?
Sun Mei came over early with Lin in her arms and said:
"Oh! Zhao Qiaoniang, didn't you always say that your child is a lucky star?
I won’t fight with you this time. This one of yours is a lucky star, right?”
Zhao Qiaoniang stared at her intently and said, "It's you again. I've always stayed away from you. Why do you have to hurt me?"
Zhao Qiaoniang really didn't want to have too much involvement with these people, but these people didn't think so.
Sun Mei could no longer conceal the jealousy in her eyes: "Isn't this all your fault? You have to compete with our family for the lucky star so early on. Do you think you are worthy?"
She was jealous, jealous to the point of going crazy. She had been paving the way for Lin Zao from the very beginning.
The purpose was to make Lin a lucky star as soon as possible, so that when he went to Bian Jing, he would have a good reputation in the future.
In fact, she had to admit in her heart that she had done all this on purpose. Ever since she knew what the Taoist said, she had started to plan it, but it was ruined by Zhao Qiaoniang.
The only way now is to kill these people.
Zhao Qiaoniang sneered. The high priest beside her had lost his patience. "Make a decision quickly. If she doesn't leave with me today, everyone in your village will die."
The high priest's tone was cold. Niu Dazhuang looked at him and said, "High priest, please don't be angry. I will talk to them properly."
Niu Dazhuang pulled Master Bai, Madam Bai, and Zhao Qiaoniang aside and said:
"You guys should give up this child, right?
Otherwise they won't give up. We have dozens of villages with nearly 100,000 people in total. We can't escape even if we want to.
I know what this child means to you, but...but...we still have so many people to survive!
I really understand you, my daughter was sacrificed in this way, but we are just mortals, how can we be compared with the high priest! "
In their village, the high priest is God.
Madam Bai hugged Lin Wanwan tightly and said, "Dream on! No one can take my granddaughter away from me."
Zhao Qiaoniang looked at Niu Dazhuang and said, "This child is everything to us. We can't abandon her."
Niu Dazhuang sighed heavily and said, "Okay, since you have made your choice, let's face it together!"
Niu Dazhuang took a deep breath, walked straight to the high priest and said, "High Priest, we have thought it through very clearly. This child must not be used as a sacrifice!"
Upon hearing this, the high priest smiled meaningfully and said, "Then you should consider this carefully before making a decision."
"We...we are ready." Niu Dazhuang said with his head down.
The high priest looked at them and said, "You will definitely regret this. Let's go!"
After saying this, the high priest led his men away. When they returned to the priest's house, he sneered and said:
"This Niu Dazhuang is so audacious that he actually dared to disobey my orders.
And for that group of outsiders, it is a blessing for them to be sacrificed.
Since they can't bear to part with the little girl, I'll let them all be buried with her."
