In the bustling tavern, Ling Chuchu sat leaning against the window, her face still covered with white gauze. Her beautiful phoenix eyes looking out the window were slightly narrowed, her gaze distant and calm.
Next to her sat Han Wuque, Cai Die and the little princess Han Ruoshuang who came to Nanzhao to participate in the concubine selection. At her feet Xiaobai and Shasha sat on the ground. No matter how you looked at it, it was a very harmonious picture.
"Everyone, go to the square and have a look. The county magistrate has invited a magician to do some magic to exorcise demons."
"I heard that there are human blood sacrifices. It's scary to hear that."
"I hope that after such a torment, we can drive away all those things that are neither human nor ghosts."
…
Are humans not humans or ghosts?
When these six words came to Ling Chuchu's ears clearly, her heart was shocked. Could it be that this small town of Nanzhao was also inhabited by demons?
She is not a nosy person, nor is she someone who likes to watch the excitement. If this matter had been done a year ago, she might not have even raised her eyelids. But now, her status is different. As long as the demon world invades the human world,
She has to take care of everything
"I'll go take a look"
Without too much hesitation, Ling Chuchu stood up and said hello to Han Wuque beside him, then followed the surging crowd and walked out of the tavern.
Han Wuque did not dare to delay at all. After ordering his subordinates to take care of Xiaobai and Shasha, he also took his sister and Cai Die to follow them. After spending ten days together, he more or less understood this woman. If it weren't for the matter,
It has something to do with her, she definitely won't have such a reaction
Of course, he heard the words neither human nor ghost very clearly and thought of the monsters he encountered ten days ago, so he could also describe them in this way.
Chu Chu said that it was a demon, and she had to take care of all matters related to the demon!
When Ling Chuchu arrived at the square, the entire small square was already crowded with people going there, and it was so dark that it made people feel a little upset.
Ling Chuchu did not push forward, but walked to the outskirts of the square, frowning at the increasingly crazier people. She rejected the crowd. If she also squeezed, no wonder she would be disgusted to death by those people if she was touched.
He lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then just kept calm and cheered up. He flew in so directly amidst everyone's exclamations and landed at the front of the crowd. As she landed, Han Wuque held his sister's waist.
also fell beside her
Looking up, even a person like Ling Chuchu, who had no sympathy at all, couldn't help but gasp. Damn, this is too damn tragic.
In the middle of the square, four iron cages held two men and two women, two boys and girls about four or five years old, and two boys and girls about fifteen or sixteen years old, like wild animals. Their mouths were stuffed with cloth strips.
The limbs are tightly locked by the iron chains, and they make crisp sounds whenever they move.
At this time, they all looked at their relatives not far away with frightened eyes. They wanted to call for help but were blocked. Only the tears flowing down endlessly told the fear of facing death.
"County magistrate, please let my son go, he is only four years old this year."
"County magistrate, if you want a blood sacrifice, use my body. I only have a daughter. If she is to die, our whole family will not be able to survive."
"County magistrate, please, I will kneel down for you."
…
The miserable cry for help resounds in this small space, making the listener sad, the listener sad, and the viewer weeping. How old is this child? Life has just begun. Before it has time to bloom, it will come to an end. Who could it be?
, I feel bad too
The short, fat county magistrate walked down slowly. He looked at the relatives of the children who were crying so hard that they shook their heads helplessly.
"I can't help it. No one can deal with those half-human, half-ghost things. Hundreds of people have died. Don't worry. I will definitely compensate you well after they are sacrificed to blood."
He spent a lot of money to bring this mage from other places. He heard that he has great magical powers, and any monster or monster that comes into his hands will only die. Although this method of blood sacrifice is indeed cruel, for the safety of the whole town, he can only bear the pain and do it.
Got it
"But why did you choose our child? Wuwuwu"
A young woman wearing a floral dress grabbed the county magistrate's hand and shook it vigorously. There were so many children in the town. Why were their children so unlucky?
The county magistrate sighed and withdrew his hand that was painfully grabbed by the young woman. However, he was not angry and just explained patiently.
"This was found by a mage using a spell. No one knows in advance whose child will be selected, so please forgive me."
After finishing speaking, he couldn't bear to continue reading. He turned around and nodded to the mage, indicating that he should start the practice.
The mage, dressed in black, began to mutter something. He held a bell in his hand and began to shake it. As soon as the jingling sound came out, the lively square fell silent instantly. Everyone looked at it not far away with wide eyes.
All the mages are looking forward to the town returning to its original peace after today.
Ling Chuchu looked at everything that happened in front of her with a stern face, and snorted disdainfully in her heart. Can a mage be able to exorcise ghosts? Just like this, he doesn't look like a good person. I'll go.
As the mage chanted the spell faster and faster, the lotus ring on Ling Chuchu's finger suddenly emitted a strong red light. The color was deep enough, indicating that the demon in this town was at least intermediate level.
Ling Chuchu's big eyes narrowed dangerously. No wonder the county magistrate had no choice but to believe that these charlatans and magicians were definitely not something that these humans could deal with.
He raised his Qi with his right hand and was ready to save people...
Not long after, the mage in black suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes were red and he let out a loud roar.
"take blood"
As his words fell, four strong men walked towards the four iron cages respectively with daggers and small buckets, a look of cruelty flashed on their somewhat ferocious faces.
The four children began to scream and struggle, and the iron chains made a heavy sound. Every sound was heartbreaking.
Many people at the scene had already opened their eyes and began to choke. They really did not have the courage to see the lives of the four children passing by like this...
Ling Chuchu's right hand had already been clenched into a fist, and when she was about to swing it out, a strange yet familiar voice sounded.
"stop"
Accompanied by this sharp shout, there was a galloping palm wind, which knocked four strong men to the ground at the same time. Then, white clothes flew, and the man with black hair like clouds, covered with sunshine like a god, slowly landed on the ground.
In the center of the square,
Such a radiant light, such a rainbow-like momentum, such a captivating soul, captivated everyone's eyes!
That’s! Junzi Mo!
