Chapter 117 The Price of Blood
Author: Demon Tower Tower
Until the girl was completely silent in the sarcophagus.
It was not until the tribesmen outside completed their sacrificial ceremony that the sarcophagus was opened again.
The girl was trapped in the sarcophagus and almost suffocated, rolling her eyes.
Her mother-in-law rushed over, picked her up and held her in her arms, murmuring her name.
Her eyes rolled white, her pupils slowly falling, and then——
One eye and two pupils.
This was the only way for her to become a saint. She was selected and then sacrificed to the ancestors of her tribe.
Once upon a time, there was a saint among her people who had great magical powers. However, this saint was seriously injured in a fierce battle with evil spirits.
In order to eradicate the evil spirit so that it could no longer harm her people, she chose to die with the evil spirit. However, in order to continue to protect her people, she retreated in a sarcophagus in the cave for three days, leaving behind a soul.
In the future, after the saint selected from the ordinary tribe undergoes a complete sacrificial ceremony here, the saint's soul will be possessed by the new saint, along with her powerful magic power.
The new saint will take over her mission and continue to protect her people by herself.
Passed down from generation to generation, when a saint dies, the tribe will choose a new saint.
There are more than a hundred saints buried in the cave, but no one can tell clearly how they died.
All I know is that there is an unwritten rule in the clan.
Once a saint falls in love with someone and is determined to get married, she must weave herself a wedding dress and wear this wedding dress to get married.
The elderly grandmothers in the clan will tell the children that the Thousand Silk Brocade is the blessing of the clan.
If the saint wears the brocade made by herself and marries her beloved, she will be blessed with a long life together. But if the man betrays the bride wearing the brocade, the bride will turn into a ghost and haunt her forever.
.
She was chosen as the saint of the clan since she was a child, completed the succession ceremony of the saint, and has been protecting her people.
She could no longer get close to her father and mother, and was left alone, wandering in the mountains to protect and pray for her people.
Her tribesmen have always believed that being a saint means bearing all the sufferings for the tribesmen. As long as the suffering she endures reaches a certain level, they will no longer be tortured by God.
So she could only continue to endure everything in the mountains.
Keep going, keep going.
She didn't dare to stop for a moment, even though she missed her family, she couldn't see them.
Because in the legend of the clan, with the responsibilities of a saint, if she goes back to see her family, she will bring endless suffering to her family.
At first, she really didn't dare. She was afraid that she would harm her family.
But becoming a saint is not what she wants. As time goes by, she will become afraid.
Wandering in the mountains, I drank mountain spring water when I was thirsty, and picked wild fruits in the mountains and forests to eat when I was hungry. When I was sleepy and tired, I found a safe place to rest for a while, and then continued on the road.
She is also forced to learn to identify directions and deal with various beasts.
Sometimes even if she wanted to go home, her family would consider her to be unlucky. They would pick up stones and throw them at her to drive her away.
Even if she beat her head to pieces.
Her parents soon had new children to replace her, and she no longer seemed to belong anywhere.
I can only wander aimlessly.
Until she met someone
That day, as usual, she woke up to the first ray of sunshine, climbed down from the tree, packed her things, and prepared to continue on her way.
Suddenly I smelled the wind in the forest and felt something strange.
Like the smell of death.
She didn't know if someone broke in here, or if her people were in danger because she fell asleep.
Feeling guilty, she ran over in a hurry, only to see a completely unfamiliar face at the bottom of the valley.
he--
It turns out that he is not one of their tribesmen.
She didn't know how this man broke in, how he broke into the territory where she and her people had lived for generations.
But after seeing the man's injuries, she still felt compassion and wanted to save him
Zhu Xiaozhou was about to continue reading, but she was about to solve the mystery. Was that man the one she had been looking for?
At this moment, she was pushed out of her obsession!
Her mental power is far superior to Zhu Xiaozhou's. Once she and Zhu Xiaozhou fall into an obsessional dream, but wake up before Zhu Xiaozhou, it is possible to drive Zhu Xiaozhou out of her obsession.
"Who are you."
Zhu Xiaozhou was shocked. She never thought that half of her life would be so miserable.
She wandered alone for many years, like a lonely ghost, just to pray for her people, and now.
She snatched the thousand silk brocades,
"Maybe I can help you." Zhu Xiaozhou said, "Tell me your name. I can change all this tragedy."
She hesitated and looked at Zhou Kai.
She hesitated between killing him and disappearing with him, or letting him go and completely redeeming herself.
"It's been more than a thousand years, and I've been wandering around all the time. I don't even care about living in death. Is it worth it?"
Zhu Xiaozhou really felt sorry for her and wanted to try to change this fate for her.
She shook her head, meaning it was too late.
She has killed people. There is no turning back. Anyone who touches human blood will turn into a real monster. Even if there is a chance, she will not be able to live like this.
"Okay, then you kill him."
Zhu Xiaozhou simply broke the jar and threw it.
I don’t believe she can really be cruel enough to kill Zhou Kai.
The blood-red wedding dress was put on her body in an instant, and it looked so weird that Zhou Kai was so frightened that he screamed repeatedly.
How terrible!
She looks so terrible!
"Don't come over! Don't come over. Are you a human or a ghost? Who are you?" Zhou Kai struggled to ask for help from the people around him.
She raised her head, her eyes were sunken, and her eyeballs had long been lost.
Two blood holes continued to flow out blood. "Kill you, kill you!!!"
She pinched Zhou Kai's neck. Zhou Kai didn't even dare to look at her, so he could only cry for help. "Help! Help!!!"
For some reason, he actually looked at Zhu Xiaozhou.
Perhaps it was a subconscious feeling, but he actually felt that Zhu Xiaozhou would save him.
"I can't save you." Zhu Xiaozhou said, "You betrayed her in your previous life. She suffered the pain of peeling off your skin and bones because of your fault, and wandered for thousands of years just to find you and ask for her life."
No one can save him now.
"I don't know! I don't know. It has nothing to do with me. I don't know these things at all. I haven't done anything. I am innocent!" Zhou Kai thought that he was a good person in his life, so he should not have such a fate.
.
Shen Zhu asked Zhu Xiaozhou for help. Did Zhu Xiaozhou really want to allow the female ghost to harm people here?!
"Don't you care?! She wants to kill someone in Qiyundang! If someone dies in Qiyundang and the police investigate, do you want to tell them that it was a female ghost who killed him?"
"He deserves this all." Zhu Xiaozhou said, "He caused this girl misery in his previous life. Shouldn't he pay some price?"
