Ji Lingxuan had originally thought that the people living in the cave might be the ten men that Liaoyuan once said entered the forbidden area and disappeared twenty years ago.
But she never imagined that there were actually nineteen women in it!
Those women are of different ages, some are young and some are older, but this does not affect their impressive looks that make people extremely envious and jealous.
Their skin is paler than snow, but their eyes are as dull as dead fish, like beautiful dolls with no soul at all.
The place where they live is a spacious cave, which is oval in shape by visual inspection. There are also daily utensils in it, including cotton clothes, trousers, and spatulas. The popularity here is very high, so you can
It can be seen that these people must have lived here continuously.
At this time, some of the women were curled up and hiding under quilts on the ground, while some were holding themselves on the rocks and lost in thought.
The faint light that Ji Lingxuan and the others were afraid of when they came in was emitted by a luminous pearl that was not very bright. This luminous pearl was embedded at the top of the cave and was much dimmer than the luminous pearl in Ji Lingxuan's hand.
Therefore, Ji Lingxuan's luminous pearl appeared in the cave and quickly covered up the light of the luminous pearl on the top of the mountain, filling the entire cave with light.
However, she and Liao Yuan appeared so suddenly, but these women seemed to be unaware.
A few people noticed it and just glanced back, while others continued to be in a daze without moving.
Ji Lingxuan was very confused. Before she could think carefully, she felt a gust of wind passing by her.
She turned her head and glanced, and saw Liao Yuan rushing out like an arrow from a string.
He instantly rushed to a woman who was sitting on a pillar. The woman's clothes and hair were very messy. Liao Yuan stretched out his hand to hold the woman's shoulders and shouted excitedly, "Yun'er, why are you here?"
place?"
That woman was just a young girl of sixteen or seventeen years old, but her eyes were helpless and confused.
Liaoyuan suddenly yelled at her, and she was startled. She was like a frightened little rabbit. She kept curling up inside, her whole body was shaking uncontrollably, and her face was frightened.
"Yun'er, don't be afraid. I'm your cousin from Liaoyuan. Tell me what's going on? Aren't you a sacrifice to heaven? Why is it like this? Why are you here? Tell me quickly.
what happened?"
Liao Yuan originally wanted to comfort her, but the questions in his heart were so frightening that he asked them all before he knew it, and he couldn't control his emotions.
Ji Lingxuan was shocked when she heard Liao Yuan's words. Is that girl a sacrifice to heaven like Tuoba Yan?
Could it be that other women are like this too?
Ji Lingxuan narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at the nineteen dull women thoughtfully.
Suddenly, she raised her eyebrows and suddenly remembered that Liao Yuan and Tuoba Jing once said that the ceremony of worshiping the heaven only started twenty years ago, so this year Tuoba Yan should be the twentieth woman to be sent to the altar.
.
And she happened to ruin the ceremony, so Tuoba Jing's sister wasn't sent here?
So are these nineteen women just the sacrifices to heaven in the past nineteen years?
Thinking about it this way, it seems that everything can be explained?
Ji Lingxuan was frightened by her bold guess, but when she saw Liao Yuan so excitedly grabbing the girl and questioning her like she was pouring beans, she felt that the possibility was very high.
She took a deep breath and strode towards Liaoyuan.
At this time, the girl named Yun'er finally had some reaction after hearing the words "cousin Liaoyuan".
Her distracted eyes moved slightly, and she stared blankly at Liao Yuan for a while before reacting with a confused and uncertain expression.
"Cousin?" Her voice was hoarse and her whole body was shaking, as if she couldn't believe her eyes.
It seemed that she didn't expect that someone could come here and find her.
Liaoyuan's eyes were filled with mist, and he clenched his teeth and nodded vigorously, "Yes, it's me, I'm your cousin Liaoyuan. Yun'er, don't be afraid, tell me quickly, why are you being raped?
Sent here? Who did it?"
Yun'er is the daughter of Liaoyuan's aunt, named Lin Yun'er, and was a sacrifice to heaven last year.
The girls who are sacrificed will drink holy water before going to the altar. After drinking the holy water, the girl will lose the breath of life, which is equivalent to death.
After the heaven-sacrifice ceremony is successfully held, the elders will burn all the sacrifices to death.
Last year, he saw Yun'er's cousin's body disappear into the sea of fire with his own eyes. Why is his cousin here now?
Moreover, these girls looked familiar to him. They were all members of his own tribe, and they were also sacrifices to heaven!
They are obviously women offering sacrifices to heaven, and people who have obviously been burned, why are they in the cave?
After careful inspection, he suddenly discovered that these girls were all tightly tied with anklets. They were obviously locked up here!
what is going on?
Who can tell him what happened?
Hearing Liao Yuan's words, Lin Yun'er suddenly trembled all over, with an excited look on her face. She shrank and kept trying to retreat. She slapped Liao Yuan hurriedly, "No... don't come close to me, don't touch me, don't come over...
…”
She cried loudly and backed away, and her anklets made a crackling sound, which was particularly harsh in the empty cave.
I don't know if they heard Lin Yuner's screams, but the other women seemed to be huddled together in fear, with suppressed whimpering sounds in their mouths, and their whole bodies were shaking uncontrollably.
The suppressed sobs of despair for life made Ji Lingxuan's heart heavy, as if a big stone was pressing down on his chest, more like someone was pinching his throat, and his whole body became extremely depressed.
From the very beginning, Ji Lingxuan felt that this heaven-sacrifice ceremony was just a conspiracy created by someone to satisfy their own selfish desires.
But I didn't expect that those people would be so cruel and imprisoned so many beautiful girls!
They have survived in such a dark place for such a long time. Even if others don't torture them, they will go crazy themselves, right?
What's more, these girls have obviously been persecuted all year round.
She could clearly see the unacceptable clothes on those women, which were as if they were not worn. At a glance, she could see the fullness of her breasts. If she moved casually, the two breasts would be exposed.
Moreover, even the pants are all crotchless.
Some women sit on the ground, and she can see their secret gardens even while standing.
I have been in the Bagua Mirror for eighty years, and I know a lot about the cases of perverted and imprisoned women. The clothes on those girls are very similar to the clothes on the nineteen women now.
It's just to make it easier for the pervert to act.
Ji Lingxuan also felt that she was not actually a good person, and could be said to be a hard-hearted person.
But what happened to these women at this moment really made her feel extremely sad and angry.
Those who imprisoned them like this are simply beasts worse than pigs and dogs!
"Yun'er, don't be afraid. My cousin won't let you be harmed anymore. Tell your cousin quickly what happened to you? I will definitely take you out of this hellish place and avenge you.
Don't be afraid, okay..." Liao Yuan saw that Lin Yun'er was so frightened that he quickly spoke out to comfort him, but in his words he still hoped to get an answer.
There were many questions in his mind, and the anger accumulated in his chest could not be vented. He just hoped that who was so crazy and locked up nineteen poor women who were used to sacrifice to heaven. He would definitely not let that pervert go.
He will definitely die without a burial place!
"Cousin, can you stop crying? First tell me who caused you to be like this. Tell me quickly. If you don't tell me, how will my cousin avenge you?"
Liao Yuan was almost going crazy with anxiety. When he saw Lin Yun'er retreating and hiding from him, he could only reach out and hold her hands to prevent her from continuing to struggle and retreat.
But his current reckless behavior frightened Lin Yuner even more. Instead of calming down, Lin Yuner started struggling even more violently and cried louder.
The others seemed to be frightened too, and they began to sob in despair and misery.
Ji Lingxuan was speechless when she saw Liao Yuan's reckless and stupid look. In order to save the frightened Lin Yun'er, she hurried over and pushed him away, giving him a speechless look, "You find a place by yourself.
