Chapter 1174 Holy Sacrifice
Even if he knew that the demon was healing in the cave, Shu Han would not dare to go in there. This cave was too weird, and he was not willing to fight this demon in this cave.
"The days are long, let's think of ways to deal with this devil from now on."
"Before dealing with this devil, we must first deal with his accomplices!"
Shu Han's eyes flashed sharply.
"Du Hongbo!"
Seeing the corpses filling the cave, Shu Han immediately understood, regardless of Du Hongbo's high-sounding words, that the village was established to protect everyone. In fact, he used the people in the village as fodder for the devil! Shu Han had seen this kind of behavior too many times along the way, and hated this kind of behavior extremely.
"This old boy has cultivated in the late stage of Lianxu. Although he looks old and has a long life. But monks are best at pretending! The monks in the late stage of Lianxu can only use the strength of the early stage of spiritual transformation on Maha Island. I He should be stronger than him now!"
"But you can't be careless until you know the details. Now that I haven't fully recovered from my injuries and lost another clone, it's hard to say if this old boy has a back-up plan. It's better to restore all my strength calmly first, and then find this person. Trouble with the old boy!"
So Shu Han gathered his breath, found the direction of the village, jumped up, crossed the mountains and fell directly into the village. After returning to the village, Shu Han Qingling Mingmu discovered that the villagers were gathering together in the force field projected by the reverse world, forming a huge ball of light, and they didn't know what they were doing.
"Everyone gathered together? What are you doing?"
Shu Han hurried back to his hut, took a deep breath, and sealed the small jade sword in the Wanbao Realm. Without the small jade sword, the Reversal World soon began to reject Shu Han. Shu Han felt that the Reversal World was changing like water waves, and suddenly he was squeezed out of the Reversal World and returned to the real world.
After returning to the real world, Shu Han immediately used his clear eyesight to locate Du Hongbo's whereabouts. With clear eyesight, Shu Han discovered that Du Hongbo was being surrounded by all the villagers in front of the central temple. There were actually two corpses floating in front of the old man. The old man drew on the two corpses with a solemn expression and his fingers emitting spiritual light.
Shu Han spied on the corpses of the two villagers. They were both in their early twenties and neither had advanced cultivation. According to Qing Ling Ming's detection, Shu Han discovered that these two people died due to exhaustion of life span. And he died not long ago.
And when Shu Han paid attention to the lines on the two corpses, he suddenly discovered that these lines were exactly the same as those on the corpses seen in the cave! It's just that the lines on the two corpses are golden, while the lines on the corpse in the cave are pitch black. These lines of golden light seemed to be grooves, making it easier for the demon to wrap its tentacles.
Shu Han's eyes were focused and he thought to himself: It is indeed this old boy who is nurturing the devil! But I didn’t expect him to be so upright and unabashed!
Shu Han walked out of his room and came to the crowd. At this time, he found An An comforting two six or seven-year-old children on the edge of the crowd. The two children were crying sadly next to An An. Shu Han walked over and asked, "What's going on?"
An An said sadly: "The parents of these two children have not been able to break through the realm for a long time, and now their lifespan has been exhausted. Hey, they are still so young. Brother Yu, it would be great if you could come to Maha Island earlier, that way I can also send the spiritual stones to their home sooner. Maybe their parents will be able to live a few more years." Shu Han said in shock: "You gave away all the spiritual stones I gave you?"
An An shook his head: "An An is not that stupid. An An only gave it to those in need in the village. An An also kept a small half of the bag." Shu Han touched her little head, and then he looked at the two corpses he was giving Du Hongbo, who was carving the formation pattern, gradually became sharp in his eyes.
"An'an, what are you, Grandpa Du, doing?"
An An touched the heads of the two children, looked at Du Hongbo, and said, "Grandpa is giving salvation to their parents. This is the holy sacrifice ceremony in our village." Shu Han's eyelids twitched: "Is this the holy sacrifice? In the end? Why do we offer holy sacrifices to the dead?”
An An's face became a little ugly.
She looked at Shu Han and murmured: "Because the dead have to sacrifice for the living, to the devil, in exchange for the peace of the village." Shu Han couldn't help but frown slightly when he heard An An say this. Qi: So that’s it, the corpses that appeared in the cave were the remains of the village’s holy priests…
An An looked at Shu Han's slightly frowning brows and said with some embarrassment: "Brother Yu, it's hard to accept such a thing suddenly. In fact, we are too. It's hard for us to see our former relatives being devoured by demons. But it's hard for us too. But Grandpa Du said that the dead should give way to the living. If there is no holy sacrifice, the devil will repeatedly invade our village and take away more living people..."
Shu Han touched her head.
"I understand...it's just..."
Shu Han pushed aside the crowd and walked behind Du Hongbo. At this time, Du Hongbo had carved all the lines on the corpse and was muttering to the corpse. He noticed Shu Han appearing behind him and said calmly: "Guan Yu's aura seems to be that he doesn't understand what I'm doing."
At this time, two young strong men walked out of the crowd and bowed to Du Hongbo.
"Grandpa Du, the holy ceremony has been completed. Leave the body to us and take it to the place of holy sacrifice."
Du Hongbo waved his hand.
"No, let me and this fellow Daoist Yu go together to give these two children a ride this time."
"But how can this make you old..."
Du Hongbo shook his head: "No more talk, you guys go back." Then Du Hongbo looked at Shu Han and asked with a smile: "Daoyou, are you willing to help me?" Shu Han said calmly: "I'm happy to!"
After that, Shu Han took the lead and carried both corpses on his shoulders. Du Hongbo smiled and walked in front with a cane to lead the way for Shu Han. The two of them walked out of the village slowly and disappeared into the surrounding deep mountains and forests. Shu Han noticed that the direction Du Hongbo led was the mysterious cave.
Entering the deep mountains, Shu Han carried two corpses, and hostility began to surge. However, An An's words prevented him from showing his killing intent. He asked in a deep voice, "Daoyou Du, where are we going? Could it be the mysterious cave you mentioned?"
"No! We can't go there. It's a place very close to the cave."
"Is it really okay for you to feed the demon like this?"
The old man sighed and said, "From Daoyou Yu's tone, it seems that he suspects that I am in cahoots with the demon." Shu Han said coldly, "Isn't it?"
The old man said lightly, "Actually, I lied to Daoyou Yu about one thing."
"What is it?"
"To protect the village and It's not that formation. That formation was not designed by me, and it has no ability to cover up the fluctuation of mana. The real thing that saved the village was this holy sacrifice! Since it was really hard for me to say that I was sacrificing the bodies of the villagers to the devil, I didn't tell you the truth at first. "
"I wanted to let you live in the village for a while before telling you about this. But these two children left too quickly. For the safety of the whole village, I had to send them to the devil's mouth. "
