Chapter 262: Sacrificial Girl (19)
Chapter 262: Sacrificial Girl (19)
Shen Zhaowan and Zhao Lan were dragged by several women to the next room and changed into red wedding dresses!
No matter how hard they struggled, they were no match for the strength of the women who worked there!
Shen Zhaowan discovered that compared to the daytime, these people had changed into cleaner clothes and combed their hair again, looking very formal.
Through the gap, she saw them queuing in the ancestral hall and chanting something, but she couldn't understand.
But it’s definitely not a good thing!
Several women tied up the disobedient Zhao Lan's hands again, and then stood at the door seemingly waiting for time.
There was a red pattern painted on the clan leader's face. He took a few steps, stood in the middle of the ancestral hall, and silently recited to the tablet.
Only the clan leader could see a black figure gathering in front of her.
The opponent gradually solidified from the ranking position, looked at the strange pattern that the patriarch had popped up on the ground, seemed to be in deep thought for a long time, and then took action, pointing at a certain place, and what others saw was a dot that appeared out of thin air.
The clan leader's eyes were sharp, and he waved his hand to have Shen Zhaowan and Zhao Lan placed in two small wooden sedan chairs in front and back.
Shen Zhaowan's vision was blocked by the red veil, and only her hands placed on her legs could be seen. This time, perhaps they thought she would not run away, so Shen Zhaowan was not tied up.
The sedan chair was lifted up just as midnight arrived.
The people from the ancestral hall had already followed the clan leader to a place in the back mountain, where they were performing a ritual.
The villagers gathered in a circle.
One of them held a tablet and an incense burner with incense sticks, which could attract the ghost from the ancestral hall to come here.
In the opinion of the clan leader, the number of people who died for no reason in the village was the highest since the sixth generation of clan leader took over. Another reason was that there were too few people of the new generation in the village, and if this continued, the village would be extinct.
This time she decided to deepen the suppression in her own way. It would be best if she could use the karma and lifespan of the sacrificed person to completely eliminate the chance of the person in the underground to turn over!
Their generations have been guarding here for more than three hundred years. They have seen his soul rise and their ancestors perish. They hope that all this will have a good result tonight.
Shen Zhaowan, who was still walking slowly on the road, asked Xiaobai to sense the surroundings. The forest was pitch dark, but it was still close to the way out.
Two people were carrying the sedan chair in front and behind, and Shen Zhaowan suddenly said.
【Xiaobai, loosen Zhao Lan's rope.】
[Okay.] Xiaobai agreed immediately. This was no big deal.
Zhao Lan in the sedan chair soon felt the rope on her hand slowly loosening. She didn't think much about it, thinking that it was not tied tightly and came loose on the way.
She concealed her excitement and suddenly shouted that she felt dizzy sitting in the sedan and wanted to get off to vomit.
With dry heaves and her sharp accusations, "I'm tied up, and there are so many of you. How can you run away? If I soil this sacrificial garment and ruin your chief's business, I'll see what you will do."
Helplessly, the sedan stopped and Zhao Lan walked down, observing them all the time. She walked to a tree and pretended to vomit.
Shen Zhaowan, who was sitting in the sedan chair, laughed when she heard the voice. If she remembered correctly, this place was closer to the cliff!
Zhao Lan hesitated for a long time, which made those who mistakenly thought she was really vomiting relax their vigilance. However, just as they urged her to do so, Zhao Lan ran directly to one place, trying her best.
What a coincidence that the direction she ran would eventually lead her to a cliff!
The people carrying the sedan chair panicked and hurried to chase after her, leaving only one person watching Shen Zhaowan.
Shen Zhaowan half-opened the curtain upon hearing the voice, "What happened?"
The man came closer, "Don't ask!"
Shen Zhaowan heard the anxiety in his voice and seemed to be afraid of being implicated!
"Don't play tricks, okay?"
The man yelled at Shen Zhaowan viciously, trying to make her stay still.
Shen Zhaowan directly pulled off the veil, and while the man's eyes were wandering, she stepped forward and strangled him by the neck.
"Why don't I...go back!"
Things happened quickly and the man didn't expect to be tricked by Shen Zhaowan. By the time he recovered from the shock and took a breath, Shen Zhaowan had already run away.
He cursed inwardly and hurried after him.
……
At this time, the patriarch of the back mountain has prepared all the rituals and formations. Two small boats are also prepared at the cave. When the blood of the two people slowly seeps into the formation, the boat will transport the two half-dead people to the tomb chamber in the cave. All this will show what she wants.
But gradually the chieftain felt uneasy. The original moon was blocked by dark clouds and suddenly a strong wind blew in the forest. Clothes were blown away and people staggered.
The clan leader first prepared to protect the tablets and incense burner, or more precisely, to protect the ancestors.
However, what she didn't know was that at this moment the ancestor was looking into the air, his throat seemed to be strangled and he couldn't speak, he could only make a loud noise.
Then, he finally felt that he could speak and wanted to tell the clan leader about the situation, but the pain could only penetrate his soul and body, and he let out a piercing wail.
The clan leader calmed himself down and was just counting on his fingers when the ancestor was caught in the hands of Lin Hewei who was standing in the air.
"Why, do you think it's too late to die? Or do you feel too lonely being the only one left?"
The soul of the ancestor was rubbed to the point that it had no human form, and a black mass was shaking constantly.
"Let me go!"
"Let you go? Who let me go?"
At this moment, the clan leader also discovered Lin Hewei, but the others could not see him. They could only hear the wailing just now and the clan leader's voice now.
"Is it you? How dare you catch him? Let him go." After that, he stabbed the peach wood sword into the wind.
But Lin Hewei was unharmed and even smiled easily: "The next one is you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the soul in his hand dissipated and disappeared without a trace.
The patriarch's face turned pale. This was the last person to accompany him, and now the person he placed his hopes on for sacrifice did not arrive on time.
The clan leader's breath was stuck in his chest, and he looked at the arrogant and unruly Lin Hewei with his eyes almost popping out.
He held the sword tightly and touched the talisman on his body.
Lin Hewei was about to continue, but he saw several people running far away in mid-air.
His eyes narrowed and turned cold.
He bowed his head and said to the patriarch: "Don't worry, I will come to you soon!"
As he waved his sleeves, a thick black gas stunned the people below. An old clan leader also took several steps back. All his preparations were disrupted, and the broken and cracked tablet lay alone in the formation!
There was a malicious look in his eyes and he gritted his teeth, but unfortunately Lin Hewei was no longer at the scene!
……
Shen Zhaowan walked on the path out, and Zhao Lan also came to the edge of the cliff!
The last time Zhao Lan came here, she put some seeds on her body, which can be seen everywhere outside. After a few days, tiny white flowers grew on the road, which were easy to recognize if you looked carefully.
The person chasing him was already out of breath. It was very difficult to find a person in the dark forest, and the figure was hard to catch in the blink of an eye.
So now Shen Zhaowan was not worried about what was behind her, she walked slowly along the path.
Next, it depends on whether Lin Hewei wants to come over.
